PS: Chapter 2, ask for a recommendation ticket!

In mid-October, when Duanmuci entered the Xicheng of Xinzheng, Zhao Wuxi left the army to stay in Chaoge, and he himself brought Zhao Guangde back to Wendi for the funeral.

"Zhi Shi killed my eldest brother for no reason. This hatred is not shared by the sky!"

He and Han Hu, who came from Ye Wang, worshipped his eldest brother Bo Lu together, and swore in front of Zhao Yang that he would take revenge. By the way, he tore up Zhao Yang's verbal marriage contract with Zhi Shi for delaying time.

Later, they had to set up a siege on the territory of the Zhou family, and originally planned to confiscate the fields and houses of the royal family officials and doctors as retaliation. Due to historical reasons, their small towns here can be described as dotted. There have been many disputes.

However, Yang Yin came up with a strategy, not to deal with the property of Dr. Zhou's house here in a one-size-fits-all manner, but to make a distinction: those who are openly hostile to the Zhao family, such as Duke Liu's farmhouse, will be directly confiscated. The property of those who are forced to follow is protected, to win their gratitude, and to leave the heart of Zhou Shiqing.

After a long day of work, he was urged to leave the official office by his sister Ji Ying. Only then did Zhao Wuxi have the opportunity to withdraw from the complicated military and government affairs and return to the dormitory to meet with his long-awaited wife and children.

Xiao Zhaocao is more than a year old, and he has grown up a lot after not seeing him for a few months. He has been weaned, and he can babble some babble that doesn't make sense.

"I don't know when I will talk, I hope I can be by his side at that time and hear him shout 'Father'..."

"The concubine is teaching him every day..." Bo Mi gave up the position closest to Zhao Wuxi to Young Master Le Lingzi, and she herself answered obediently from the side, Zhao Wuxi's harem was still harmonious on the surface .

After teasing his son for a while, the child was also tired, so Zhao Wuxi asked Bo Mi to carry him down. Only then did he have a chance to be alone with Le Lingzi.

It was still the period of Bolu's mourning, and Zhao Wuxi and Lingzi were still wearing linen filial attire, so not only could they not make out, but they couldn't even spend the night together. No shirts can only make a long story short. He asked about Zhao Yang's recent physical condition and the habit of Lingzi in Wen County. At the end, he briefly mentioned the situation of Zheng and Song.

"I sent Zigong to Zheng. He has now arrived in Xinzheng."

"Husband wants to reconcile with Zheng Guo!?" Lingzi was stunned, and she quickly guessed what Zhao Wuxi was thinking.

"With this plan, Zheng Guo is famous for his repetitions. He has swayed between Jin and Chu many times in the past. You are from Song. So I want to hear your views on this matter."

Le Lingzi's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned: "My concubine thinks that if your husband wants Zheng Guo to change his family, not only will it not be successful, but it will also be very risky."

"Why?" Zhao Wuxi knew that Le Lingzi had been in charge of the internal affairs of the Sicheng Le family for a long time, and had his own opinions on some political affairs.

Lingziping does not interfere much in foreign affairs in Japan, but as a native of the Song Dynasty, she is naturally hostile to Zheng Guo, and feels that this is inappropriate, so she said: "First, although the Zheng people are good, but they have always been with Zheng Guo. The Zhao family is the enemy, and it will take a great price for them to change the court."

"Second, the husband has fought too hard in the Eastern Kingdom and the Central Plains over the years: taking over the government of the Lu Kingdom, destroying the Wei, destroying the Fan clan, destroying the Zhongxing, the world is terrified, so much that the enemy is surrounded by enemies. The truth is in the eyes of the people of Zheng. The threat of the Zhao family is bound to be greater than that of Jin and Qi combined, and they probably won't repeat what happened between Guo and Yu."

"The third, and most important, is that Zheng State has an old grudge with the Han family. It is even more of a two-hundred-year enemy with Song State. Unless your husband can become Jin's upper minister, like Duke Wen of Jin and King Zhuang of Chu, he dominates the Central Plains and completely surrenders Zheng. Otherwise, it is impossible for Zheng and Song to be in the same alliance. After the Battle of Yanling, Zheng Guo would rather join the state of Chu than join the victor's alliance. This is largely the reason."

She took a breath and continued: "Not to mention that the people of Zheng are capricious, and they are likely to make excessive demands, such as ceding Zheng Song's land, accepting Pu Nan, and backing the alliance after success, but the Zhao family can't help it..."

Zhao Wuxi pondered, Le Lingzi swayed her skirt when he saw this, and bowed down: "Lingzi is a Song woman and knows the stubbornness of the Song people. Three years ago, Song Guole Daxin and the Fourth Young Master were unpopular in usurping power. It is precisely because Collusion with Zheng people makes Song people dissatisfied. Even if Sicheng Le and his daughter Nanzi agree this time, Song Guoguo people will not be willing to reconcile with Zheng country, let alone cede the interests of the city. Therefore, Zheng and Song cannot be together. Yes, even if Zigong's tongue can tell the sky and the dead, he can't do it. At that time, instead of letting Zheng go anyway, it will affect Zhao Song's friendship..."

"You're right."

Zhao Wuxi nodded, "I don't expect Zheng Kai to change his family, I just want to prevent them from attacking Song and going north in the short term. You know, the situation in Song is not optimistic. Ziming is doing his best to help me. I How can you be ungrateful and harm Song's interests for the sake of Zheng?"

Zheng Guo has repeated as many as twenty-one times between Jin and Chu. Their promises are the most unreliable things in the world. The fat white-eyed wolf will bite you back at any time, not to mention that if Song Guo, his hard-core ally, will be lost because of this Not worth the loss.

"That Zigong goes to Zheng State..."

"The purpose of Zigong's trip is to find a way to confuse the people of Zheng country, at least let them relax their vigilance and divert their energy, and make sure that the rulers of Zheng country don't realize that a swift and violent attack against Wei is just around the corner. When they reacted, the general situation on the Eastern Front was set..."

Zhao Wuxi made an analogy: "It's like throwing a piece of meat behind a hungry wolf to induce it to turn back and bite. When he turned around, my sword was already raised high."

"I see!"

Le Lingzi suddenly realized that she had said so much just now, but Zhao Wuxi had already made a sound plan in his heart. Also, how could he not be clear about what he already understood.

The wife always has a blind trust in her husband. Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned crimson, "Since the husband has made a plan, why bother to ask the concubine..."

Le Lingzi was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at her husband with a strange look in her eyes.

This posture is extremely ambiguous, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but move in his heart, he looked down, stroked her delicate face, raised her pointed chin and said with a teasing: "If I didn't ask each other, how would I know that my young master is so proficient in the situation of princes, not only Being able to take care of internal affairs and being my female counselor, Lingzi's lips and tongues are quite remarkable..."

The words were ambiguous, and Le Lingzi's face became more and more red. After a blind date, her eyes were blurred and she was out of breath, and Zhao Wuxi, who had not been a woman for several months, also moved her index finger, and her movements became restless.

But Lingzi finally broke free. Zheng Yan said that now is the mourning period of Zhao's eldest brother, and Zhao Wuxi's words and deeds are being watched by countless people. Although he is already the son of Zhao's family, he is still the future owner of the house. Do not go against the rules of etiquette.

"It doesn't matter, I listen to you." Seeing that his wife was so calm, Zhao Wuxi nodded helplessly, and before leaving, he turned to Lingzi who was still in a hurry and said, "I won't go to anyone else tonight. There are mountains of slips and scrolls for me to look at..."

Seeing her husband who had officially supported Zhao's beam, Lingzi's eyes could not help sour, and then her heart softened. She hurriedly found the refreshing incense that she had prepared earlier and came out, as well as a bag of dried plant leaves. Stuffed into the hands of the shirtless.

"Please put it away, husband."

...

Zhao Wuxi took a look, this thing was too familiar, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Could it be..."

"This is what my husband said, the tea that can relieve the tiredness of winter nights. It has been dried and fried according to what my husband said. The concubine tried it, boiled it in boiling water and drank the soup. I only felt that the taste was bitter, but it also had an aroma. It is very refreshing. Legend has it that when Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, he encountered seventy-two poisons every day. He got tea and solved it, and it really has its magic. know?"

"This...it was taught to me by two hermits from the state of Chu who I met in the state of Song. I thought it was only in the land of Wu and Chu, but who would have found it!" Zhao Wuxi was overjoyed. Tea grass is the tea of ​​later generations. I didn't drink other beverages in my previous life, but I liked this one. It is a pity that this thing did not appear as a drink until the Han and Jin Dynasties. And mostly grow in the south, the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period is almost nowhere to be found.

Le Lingzi nodded and said: "There is no such thing in the north of Dahe, and my husband searched all over Lu to no avail. In the end, when Nanzi asked Wu Zhu to go on a missionary mission, he found it from the area of ​​Pengcheng..."

She then lowered her head and said sourly, "The daughter-in-law really tried her best to please her husband..."

"Cough, I accepted this thing, and the young master thanked the gift of the son and daughter of Song State on my behalf."

Facing the sudden jealousy from his little wife, Zhao Wuxi felt a little ashamed. Like the fisherman and Chu Kuangren who had disappeared just now, he took it over with a laugh. As a smart person, Lingzi didn't pursue it too much. , After going out together, say goodbye and leave without a shirt.

"There are also seeds sent together. If your husband likes to drink it, I will try to plant some in the garden when I arrive at Chaoge, and I don't know if it will survive. Moreover, oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges. This tea grass is different in climate, soil, and water, and the taste may be very different..."

She sighed, looking forward to leaving Wenxian early, but at the same time she was a little curious.

"What exactly is the thing that husband wants to use to attract Zheng Guo's attention?"

...

At this moment, Zheng Guozheng's official office.

Han, Si, Feng, You, Yin, Guo, Liang... These seven princes of Zheng Kingdom, because they are the descendants of Duke Mu of Zheng, are collectively called "Seven Mu"!

Zheng Guo's government has been monopolized by Qi Mu for many years. After several divisions and cooperation, this clan group has become inseparable. Like Sanhuan of Lu State, they took turns to govern. After the two famous ministers, the son of the state and the uncle of the You, passed away one after another, it was the turn of the Si family to be the official minister and the ruler of the state of Zheng.

He was in his forties, but his beard was sparse, and he had a tendency to go bald. He had thin lips and a narrow mind that could not tolerate others. He once imprisoned Deng Xi and almost killed him.

But Si Ji was not without merit. Although he wanted to kill Deng Xi, he used Deng Xi's "Bamboo Punishment" in Zheng State to maintain the state that the officials and officials were respected, and the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and business were jointly established by the Four Pillars of Stone.

Moreover, although he blocked the tradition of Xinzheng scholars discussing politics, he adhered to Zichan's policy of governing the country and increased the protection of Zheng's officials and businessmen. The emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce in later generations was completely invisible in Zheng. On the contrary, because of the large number of people and the narrow land, many Zheng people ruled the industry, worked **** industry and commerce, and pursued the interests of the two.

Now, this Zhengqing was sitting behind the case, and after processing the pile of files and stamping countless times, he raised his head and looked at Duanmu, who had been standing in the hall for a long time, but he didn't get a seat, and said slowly: " Did Deng Xi have a good time with the Zhao family?"

Zigong was already a mature diplomat, he was not impatient, and smiled lightly: "Deng Zi is all well, he is treated as a guest by the Zhao family, eats meat every day, and travels with a car, Zhao Qing asked him to revise it to suit Zhao. His criminal law..."

Si Jin snorted coldly: "After this incident, many of the princes said that I was narrow-minded~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao's father and son became a model of devotion to Nashi. From that time, until the Song Dynasty Rebellion , Zhao Wuxi was deliberately fighting against me, but now you are saying, your lord wants to reconcile with Zheng? I am afraid it is because the Zheng army is in a hurry to attack Punan, so panic, like you How can I believe an insincere lobbyist and trader! Come on, expel this Shuzi from the official office!"

Zigong did not panic, but said without being humble or arrogant: "My master taught me four virtues: writing, conduct, loyalty, and trust, so when I do business, I have always been sincere, and I would rather hurt myself than deceive the buyer. The same is true of being a pedestrian. I came to Zheng Guo this time to prevent the ruling party from losing both sides without results, and I hope the ruling party can listen to me.”

However, Si Ji laughed: "Both losers are hurt? I don't think so. The main force of Zhao's army went to Hebei, and there was not much defense in Henan. Lu's army was restrained by Qi in Ludi, and it was impossible to get out of the west. Waiting for Zheng's expulsion After the Song Dynasty people in Punan and Jixi, they can naturally cover their land. Although these places are the cities and towns of the Wei Kingdom, Qi and Jin rely more on the Zheng Kingdom than the Wei Kingdom, and they will naturally force Wei after the war. People transfer..."

He pointed to the tip of Zigong's nose and asked loudly, "Don't you claim to be eloquent? But let's talk about it, can the Zhao family give Zheng Guo a business like this!?"
