After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 334 Good things come in pairs
Soon, the envoys from Qi State came again, what Mengdi didn't expect was that they came to propose marriage this time, which surprised him a bit, he didn't expect Tian Qi to be so concerned about his marriage.

But now that Meng Di is already the monarch of the Han Kingdom, it is naturally impossible to choose the main wife according to his own preferences like the common people, and judging from the current situation, it is beneficial for the Han Kingdom to marry with the Qi Kingdom .

It's just that Bai Gui has a different opinion on this. After getting the news, he came in a hurry and said directly.

"Although this princess of Qi State has the title of princess now, she is just the youngest daughter of Duke Jing of Qi, and her status is not high. To some extent, she is not suitable for the lord. If this is the case, we need to be careful. think about it."

"Now that the Han Kingdom has gained momentum in the world, it is important to be cautious about the marriage of the lord, so this matter is temporarily agreed to be discussed slowly, and this time Tian has also equipped a lot of beauties."

"It's obviously bad intentions. At the very least, we need to use this opportunity to get Qi to show more sincerity, such as escorting more craftsmen and people. Presumably Tian will agree to it at this time."

Meng Di nodded slightly after listening, since he can't decide his own marriage anyway, so he just let Bai Gui to toss about it.

It's just that he, Meng Di, thought that a few days later, the envoys from the state of Chu would also arrive in Huai City, and Shen Baoxu would come to see Meng Di in person at the first time. Now Shen Baoxu was also very anxious. The country will come to such a hand at this time.

After the two met, they sat down respectively. After Shen Baoxu stretched out his hand to salute, he said in a tone full of emotion.

"If the Marquis of Han had been able to stay in Han at that time, he must have been ranked as Shangqing now. It is really a pity that Chu lost such a hero as Marquis Han."

Meng Di smiled slightly when he heard him mentioning his time in Chu State, and spoke indifferently.

"If the king had stayed in the state of Chu at the beginning, I am afraid that today he would be no more than a general at most. He annexed the land within the state of Chu, and the common people lived in hardship. In addition, the king of Chu employed people improperly, so that Yingdu was destroyed. Things."

"But now, King Chu Zhao is making great efforts to rule the country, so that the state of Chu has the appearance of rejuvenation. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for the state of Chu to resist the attack of the state of Wu. Could it be that Shenzi's visit today is simply because the king cannot reminisce about the past?"

Seeing Meng Di unceremoniously pointing out the problems of Chu State, Shen Baoxu also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He naturally knew where the problems of Chu State were, but these problems had a long history and were not so easy to solve.

So he sighed in his heart, and Shen Baoxu also knew that what Mengdi said was true. At the beginning, Mengdi proposed a feasible strategy in front of King Chu Zhao, but the result was not reused. Even if he stayed in Chu State, It may not be able to be reused.

Thinking of this, Shen Baoxu stopped talking about this topic, but said softly with a smile on his face.

"The Marquis of Han has a noble status now, but I don't know. Do you still remember that there are old people in Chu? My king's younger sister is still unmarried, and she has become a worry for my king all of a sudden."

Speaking of this, Shen Baoxu heaved a sigh of relief, with words of regret on his face, but his eyes kept staring at Mengdi.

At this time, the expression on Mengdi's face was a little absent-minded. He thought of that slender figure that day, and the trace of weakness and stubbornness when they parted. This scene would appear in his dreams from time to time.

Then Mengdi came back to his senses, he understood the purpose of Shen Baoxu's visit, he actually proposed marriage to Ji Mi, which was beyond his expectation, and at the same time, he smiled wryly in his heart, why did these people go so early up?

Not one of them will come, but two of them will come. After thinking for a while, Meng Di said.

"The old man from the state of Chu is always on my mind, how can I forget it? It's just that Shenzi suddenly brought up this matter, which made it difficult for me to make a decision for a while. Why don't Shenzi stay in Huai City for a few more days and walk around casually?" have a look."

"Let me have time to think about it before I reply, and then I will arrange for the emperor to meet Shenzi. If there is any need, just ask."

After finishing speaking, Mengdi still had a faint look of blankness on his face, and then turned his head to give orders to Emperor Shi.

"Emperor Shi, you are familiar with Shen Zi, and you will take Shen Zi for a walk around Huai City in the past few days."

Shi Huang nodded after listening, and Shen Baoxu immediately knew the identity of the other party at this time, Che You who used to be Nangwa!He didn't expect to meet Emperor Shi here, and he was even more surprised, so he immediately got up and saluted.

"It was rumored that General Shi had already encountered an accident in the army. I didn't expect to meet again in Huai City. In such a short period of time, the temperament has changed so much that I dare not recognize each other."

And Shi Huang smiled lightly, he didn't want to mention too much about the past, and said after returning a salute.

"I happened to be rescued by a benefactor who passed by that day, and I was lucky enough to escape with my life. Now that I am reused by the Marquis of Han, my face is naturally radiant, which is different from before."

When Shen Baoxu bowed and took his leave, Meng Di thought about it, and then gave instructions to Emperor Shi.

"Shen Baoxu must have come here not only to propose marriage, but also for other purposes. Let him take a look at the cavalry training ground, and let Chu State see the might of our army, but the infantry training ground cannot let him past."

"As for other things, there is nothing to guard against, but along the way, you have to pay attention to his words and deeds, and see what he is up to this time? Only then can we prepare for it."

Shi Huang nodded after hearing the order, at this time Bai Gui had a smile on his face, and he spoke.

"I really didn't expect my lord to have good things in pairs this time. However, the marriage with the state of Chu involves a lot. It is best to listen to the opinions of Mr. Ji and Mr. Sun, but from the following point of view, we can accept both."

"After all, the status of the princess of the Qi country is not considered noble, so it is understandable that the status is lower, but the princess of the Chu country is different. King Chu Zhao loves this sister very much, her status is extremely precious, and she is a good match for the lord."

After Meng Di heard this, he shook his head slowly, with a worried look on his face, and then said.

"If we get married with Chu State, then Wu State will definitely react. We still need to be cautious."
