Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 113 Amulet

The logic is perfect and the theory is excellent, but Zhuang Xun feels that it is not in line with human nature.

Now to explain, he still feels weird, he is always wary of the pie in the sky.

"Jedu, you are now backed by a wealthy businessman who is invincible to the country, and you have a father-in-law who is like a military god to control the power of the country. We think you have the ability to unify the divided Yu country again." The national teacher remembered the discussion with Yu Wang before, no It is taken for granted that whoever can do it will do it after careful consideration.

King Yu asked a classic question before: "What if Zhuang Xun is forced to come to Chengguo by means of suppression?"

The national teacher thought for a while but couldn't find an answer, which made Zhuang Xun anxious. He took Jiannan and Hebei Road to vote for Chengguo. What about Yuguo? Will he send troops to attack?
Now that Li Pingyuan was in power, Cheng Guo could completely protect Zhuang Xun, and maybe he would have to reverse it.

"Instead, he became an enemy. He borrowed Cheng Guo's soldiers to fight back, and I became an enemy. The most important thing is that he has a good chance of winning." King Yu, who is involved in politics, can see clearly, comprehensively analyzing Zhuang Xun at this moment background strength.

"Instead of having an enemy, it is better to have many friends. He can govern the country, and he can bring me merit compared to those evil obstacles." After King Yu figured it out, his whole body became clear.

"The position of Zen is too controversial, and Xun's ability is not enough to take on this great position." The two persuaded together, Zhuang Xun analyzed his situation and said that he had actually understood it, but he didn't think he had the strength to fish in troubled waters. , directly inserted into the battle situation, that is the target.

Sitting on the throne of King Yu, he will definitely face the siege of the prince who has already been entrusted. He feels that he should not take over, and the Forbidden Army has been infiltrated into a sieve long ago according to what Wang Xiaowei said. If there is no mobilization, there is not much benefit at all, and it is all risk. Who can accept this, having the strength to be a king, not being a king has strength.

"You have to fight for it yourself, Zhuang Qing. After all, my control over the kings is not as good as before, and I can only provide some trivial help, or some name when fighting for the big position." Yu Wang apologized and said that he could give Zhuang The best question has already been given at this court meeting, and the other things that he wants to give are either his age and identity are not enough, or he is actually out of control.

Before all the kings were entrusted out, it was just to raise Gu, but I didn't expect to find a Zhuang Xun later, and I also moved myself to give up.

"I understand." Zhuang Xun heaved a sigh of relief, if he really surrendered to him directly, he would be restless.

Because he was far from being as strong as he looked, sitting on two sides, backed by Li Pingyuan, he knew that his two foundations were not stable, and Li Pingyuan was probably still balancing the domestic situation at this moment.

The only one who can be trusted is Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang is really his white moonlight. Even if she knows that she is her fish, she is grateful to Dade. Knowing that she came here for merit, she will feel more at ease and think about doing more good deeds in return. she.

Hastily pushing himself into the position of abdication is not optimistic about himself, but sending himself to die. Zhuang Xun's little head is clear.

"You have to understand, in my heart now, it's good that this great person is interested in you. If you have any requirements, you can just ask, and I will satisfy you within the scope."

King Yu showed his cards and said that he didn't have any good cards, because he allowed the princes to gather power and wanted to raise the strongest Gu king. Now that he looks like himself, it is impossible to take back power. He can only delegate power. Give some power to Zhuang Xun.

"I'm short of everything, but the main thing is time. I hope that the Holy Majesty will live a long and healthy life, so that he can shelter me for a while longer." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly, as if he was cursing that the emperor's life would not be long.

"Are you short of time?" King Yu was stunned, and then showed a smile that he didn't know how to say, he couldn't laugh or cry.

His own sons were all eager to die quickly, they wanted to be emperors, each of them sharpened their knives, wishing to send him to heaven with their own hands, but Zhuang Xun seemed more respectful and filial.

"I understand, Zhuang Qing, don't worry." King Yu's tone was also much gentler, although he understood that the reason why Zhuang Xun allowed him to live longer was to save more time for strength.

But people have to be compared with each other, and suddenly I feel that Zhuang Xun is a man, and his sons are not people, and the guilt of not passing the throne to his sons is not much, and now it is even more gone.

"Besides that, what else does Zhuang Qing need? I can help you sweep away the world with a thunderbolt." King Yu's mood became more and more cheerful, probably because the most concerned issue at present has been solved.

"Talent, in fact, today I heard that many people want to come to Jiannan Road, I am very happy. After all, there is indeed a shortage of people in Fuxing Jiannan Road. Even if there are scholars recruited by Mrs. Jiang, the Li family still lacks people, and some capable people people." Zhuang Xun thought for a while and said that he had heard so much about the importance of talents on Earth, and even though Earth said so much, talents were still lost in the end.

"Are they here to help you? They are here to destroy. Let you behave like this today to let others know that you are ambitious and recruit talents for you." King Yu said disdainfully, he still doesn't know those guys, construction They don't have the ability to wreak havoc, and the bad guys and the good deeds are more capable than the other.

"Why?" Zhuang Xun didn't realize it for a while, how could ambition be linked to talent?

"Only people will choose promising people to serve as allegiance. If you don't show a very ambitious look, how will everyone know that following you will have a greater future. Zhuang Qing, you are already a Jiedu envoy, and you can be regarded as a prince. You have to show They are more confident and arrogant." Yu Wang taught.

"Ah, is that so?" Zhuang Xun unconsciously accepted King Yu's proposal.

"That's right, you don't need to be obedient to anyone anymore. Not only are you already a second-rank official, but you are also the king of Yu Kingdom in the future." The senior guided the younger generation, and King Yu felt like raising the prince of the East Palace, a novelty. experience, because he has never established a prince.

"Understood, it's just His Majesty, is there really no one else but this minister? I just want to manage the one-acre three-point land in Jiannan."

It was only then that Zhuang Xun realized that he seemed to have promised King Yu to fight for the world without knowing it. He felt that this gift was a bit big. Even if it was just a private support, it meant that he didn't have to dance with shackles and could legally expand power.

"If you refuse again, I will be angry, and I don't have to ask you to reorganize the country. The mess I left is so bad. I know that this is a chance for you to completely hand over the country of Yu to you. I can't do it now. Accept the imperial decree, if you have a chance, you will be orthodox, if you don’t have a chance, then let it go, and the national teacher is here to be a witness.” The emperor took out the imperial decree from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuang Xun.

"Ah, this..." is the edict of abdication.

"Jiedu, let's accept the decree, since His Majesty has such a good intention." The national teacher persuaded him, and after the analysis of King Yu, he also felt that Zhuang Xun was a good candidate, strong in competitiveness, and knew how to care for the people.

At this point, Zhuang Xun felt that he would be hypocritical if he refused again. Although he felt hypocritical to accept the imperial decree, he still held the imperial decree and bowed to thank him and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will do my best to prosper Jiannan."

"Slippery, you can take off your mianfu. I have given you the emperor's seal of the mianfu. It is up to man to plan, but it is up to God to succeed. I hope you can compete with those rebellious sons of mine." King Yu listened to Zhuang If you ask me, I can't help but smile, is it just Xingsheng Jiannan?

"I understand." Zhuang Xun quickly took off his crown robe as if he was running for his life, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Once you put it on, you won't be able to take it off." King Yu laughed seeing Zhuang Xun eager to get rid of the crown robe.

Zhuang Xun heard it, pretended not to hear it, and took off his clothes to say goodbye.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave." Putting on his own robe, Zhuang Xun said that his business was too bizarre and Zhuang Xun wanted to go home and prepare his thoughts.

"Stay and have lunch with me before you leave, maybe you will never have another chance to go to Jiannan." King Yu said closely, wanting to talk more, feeling a bit like a widowed old man asking a young man to stay for dinner.

"Let me ask you to report the family's safety." After Zhuang Xun heard this, he couldn't resign from King Yu's dinner.

"I'll send someone to talk about it, and I'll give you some small gifts, which may be useful to you in the future." King Yu said casually, and Zhuang Xun didn't go into the details of the small gifts.

The lunch was completed under the service of eunuchs and maids. King Yu restrained himself a little, and he acted like a foolish king. The wife is the wife of the second rank.

Wait, don't show it, he is a foolish king, and his casualness is the portrayal of him in the past 20 years. It's just that this is the first time I have met a courtier who is so favored by Zhuang Xun. I think all the good things are thrown at Zhuang Xun. After all, these are not like It is an official position and needs to be discussed by the court.

After leaving the imperial city and getting into the carriage, Zhuang Xun was still dazed. There were so many things that happened in a day that he was overwhelmed.

He lifted the curtain of the car, let the spring breeze blow his head, sobered up, his face was flushed, and the reason why he was dizzy was because he had just been given a few glasses of wine.

Chinese clothes and bamboo hats are as beautiful as jade.

"Stop!" Same street scene, same beauty.

He got out of the carriage, approached, and was stopped by the guards. He also saw that it was Lan Qiu, and the person next to him was naturally the long-lost Mrs. Jiang.

Through the tulle, you can feel her charming appearance and gorgeous dresses. She will always be the star of the crowd, showing her wealth with luxury, because her identity is a big businessman who travels all over the world.

"Don't stop the censor, my family has seen the censor." Two steps forward, Mrs. Jiang asked the guards to let Zhuang Xun pass, and she saluted Zhuang Xun at the same time.

"Mrs. Jiang, please don't worry about Xun. I have met Mrs. Jiang here. Mrs. Jiang, you did not go to Zhao country, why did you come to Yu country again?" Zhuang Xun replied happily.

"The world is helpless. It's all business. If there is a need, I will naturally come. I have nothing to do today. I'm walking on the street. I don't want to meet Xiaolian." Mrs. Jiang said unexpectedly, feeling a coincidence.

She actually came to see Ge Tan, and Ge Tan had something to do today, so she went out for a stroll to experience the atmosphere in the world. It was purely accidental to meet Zhuang Xun, but if they did, they would meet again, and it would be nice to have a chat .

"I'm lucky enough to meet Mrs. Jiang, please travel with me and talk to Xun's mansion." Zhuang Xun invited and said, seeing his friend who had been away for many days.

"Very good, let's take a trip together." Mrs. Jiang did not refuse, except for the layout of You Country, she also came to take care of her koi this time.

"Has Yushi been drinking?" Mrs. Jiang frowned at Zhuang Xun's smell of alcohol.

"Your Majesty invites you to a banquet and gives you wine, so I dare not refuse." Zhuang Xun explained in a low voice, like a man who is socializing because he is afraid of his wife's misunderstanding.

When Zhuang Xun said cautiously, Mrs. Jiang immediately noticed that her words were reprimanding, and her voice softened: "It's good to drink a little, and excessive drinking will harm your body."

"Thank you Mrs. Jiang for your concern. You don't drink at home, and you have to drink your majesty's wine." He had to accept the gift, there were a lot of bells and whistles, and he could feel how many boxes there were in his home.

"My family also understands the difficulty of the censor. Can I still walk? Why don't you sit in a teahouse." Mrs. Jiang said sympathetically, she can understand Zhuang Xun's helplessness, and it is also very important for a practitioner to cultivate his mind, and to be able to put himself in the shoes of others Seeing problems is an essential skill for practitioners who have entered the world.

"No, it's just a few drinks, the alcohol is not strong, and I just got a little dizzy, it's okay." Zhuang Xun smiled, he didn't want his friends to accommodate him.

"Then let's go for a walk." Mrs. Jiang smiled, looking at Zhuang Xun as if she was looking at her own son. Of course, she didn't have a son. After all, it was just a koi, but it was also closer than ordinary pets. After all, it cost a lot of money. Yes, she also likes Zhuang Xun.

Self-knowledge, self-modest and reserved, knowing how to repay kindness, not the kind of white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

"This Yu capital is also quite prosperous, among the many capitals I have seen." Mrs. Jiang said with emotion looking at Lin Lang's products on the road.

"At the feet of the emperor, it is natural to look more lively. After all, they are the presence of some officials and lords, and they are also the facade of a country." Zhuang Xun replied. Looking at such a prosperous scene, he thought that when Jiannan Road could That's it.

"What is the censor thinking?" Madam Jiang asked curiously when she saw Zhuang Xun's eyes looking at Huajie, feeling a little touched.

"I'm wondering when Jiannan Road will become as prosperous as here. I heard from people in the past that Jiannan Road, especially Xihe County, is very rich." Zhuang Xun said with the feeling of farming, playing a simulation business game There is this kind of tactile feeling, seeing others are good, thinking that I also have it.

"As long as the censor is diligent, Jiannan Road will definitely be able to rejuvenate and regain its glory." The koi at home are so sensible, which makes people feel at ease, knowing that they are working hard and not indulge in pleasure.

"I want to thank Mrs. Jiang for your help. Without you, the mess in Jiannan Road would not be what it would be." Especially the food issue, after all, it takes a while for food to go from sowing to harvesting.

"No, it's because the censor's planning is reasonable, and he has no selfish intentions. When he came to Yu from Zhao country, my family also went to see Jiannan Road. It is well organized and has shown great vitality. The people all praise the censor's goodness. It seems that it won't be long. The situation before the war can be restored." Mrs. Jiang praised.

"What am I good for? My wife is good. I don't have the ability to govern counties and counties like her." Zhuang Xun made it clear who deserved the credit.

"That can't be Yushi, you know how to use people well. How can ordinary people delegate power to their wives and let her manage counties on their own behalf. Without Mrs. Wei, the spring plowing may not be carried out smoothly this time, and the scholars are very fond of Mrs. Wei." Be respectful, act decisively, and be fair.”

Mrs. Jiang talked about her own experience. After all, she recruited scholars who had connections. They all praised Si Qinmi's talents. Delegating power is also quite bold.

"If there were no scholars you recruited for Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid it would be hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. This court meeting can be regarded as solving the problem of official appointment for them." Zhuang Xun told Madam Jiang about the good news at the meeting today. , can be regarded as the fulfillment of the promise to Mrs. Jiang.

"Has the issue of the imperial censor's title been resolved?" Mrs. Jiang's mood did not fluctuate. As the queen mother of Zhao, these are small things to her. Thinking that the elder brother also takes care of Zhuang Xun, this kind of thing is not unreasonable. It's strange that Zhuang Xun's becoming the king of the Yu Kingdom can surprise her.

"It's resolved. Now Jiannan is the Jiedu envoy. Now Jiannan can be regarded as a legitimate ruler of the land." Zhuang Xun shared the good news.

"Now Mrs. Jiang, your caravan can do business in Jiannan and connect the three kingdoms of Yu, Cheng and You. But Mrs. Jiang, you are more interested in merit." Zhuang Xun first told her the good news, and then thought of her practice. The identity of the author, his face collapsed.

"No, they are all fancy, and the merit is not what you think. To restore the entire Jiannan Road to its appearance before the war, it is already a lot of merit. Let's find a place..."

Before Mrs. Jiang could finish speaking, a loud noise interrupted her next words.

"Because the land is not harvested, from now on the 15th day of the first day of the Zhenguogong Mansion will no longer give out porridge, and will no longer borrow food and property." A strong man with the appearance of a servant shouted at the person who received the porridge.

Immediately there were noisy voices in the crowd, and Zhuang Xun took a second look. There was no Duke Zhen's new wife in the porridge shed, only some servants.

"Duke Zhen, the one who framed you last time? I didn't expect them to insist on giving porridge on the 15th day of the lunar new year, and they could also borrow grain." Mrs. Jiang recalled that it was the first time she decided to join the party at the Wanshou Banquet. Note.

"Yes, I tasted a bowl of rice porridge from Mrs. Zhenguo's wife Siqin here, and I was lucky enough to be recommended to find a job. Otherwise, I might have been a dead bone in a mass grave." Zhuang Xun said with emotion, recalling Woke up, Siqin Mi's beauty had already imprinted in her heart at that time.

Without Si Qin Mi, Zhuang Xun would not even be able to survive, let alone be recommended by Mrs. Jiang to meet Li Rusi later.

"Jiedu is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so collecting Siqin's body is also a cycle of karma, and it is also Jiedu's righteous deed that makes the slaves look favorably on each other. This is also the origin of you and me." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile .

"It was Mrs. Siqin who asked me to get Mrs. Jiang's favor, not Duke Zhenguo's mansion. I'll let you find a place to tell me about it." Zhuang Xun gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

He is not a clay figurine, he is angry, he has been framed by Lord Zhen Guo, Lu Buying, and he has always been worried about it. Originally, it was because Si Qinmi hated Duke Zhen's family. He was humiliated when he asked for the transportation fee, and he was framed later. Now he can Said it was a grudge.

"Alright, let's find a place to chat." Mrs. Jiang saw Zhuang Xun gritted her teeth and smiled, as if seeing a child getting angry and had to show the comfort of an elder, Zhuang Xun didn't treat her as an outsider.

When she came to a tea room, Mrs. Jiang took off her bamboo hat. She had a rich and graceful face, charming and charming. Her slender eyelashes moved lightly, carrying an unearthly nobility. Compared with Concubine Li, she was not as cold as Concubine Li. But it is also like the halo next to the sun in the sky, with seven colors of iridescence, the light is dazzling, but it is difficult to approach.

Zhuang Xun turned his eyes away, ended the feast of vision, and looked at it again without respecting people. Enemies and enemies can be disrespected, but friends and benefactors still need to pay attention.

"Whether it's Jiedu, you should talk first, or the servant will talk first." Mrs. Jiang smiled, and said with tolerance in her gorgeous and charming appearance, waiting for Zhuang Xun's confession.

"Let me first, what is the Zhenguo Mansion, what kind of porridge, road repairs, bridge repairs, etc. were all done when Siqin was here. Today is the evidence. Without Siqin, where would they be?" I will still do this kind of business at a low cost." Zhuang Xun said with contempt, and emotions took the lead.

"It seems so right, especially Lu Buming, who turned black and white, and seized the opportunity in the future, we can't let their family go, they must be killed, and no one will be left." Mrs. Jiang agreed, standing on the same side as Zhuang Xun. position.

"Mrs. Jiang, you, no, aren't you a cultivator?" Zhuang Xun was frightened by her words, he hesitated and said, he didn't expect the gentle Mrs. Jiang to be so murderous.

"If you practice Taoism, you are not allowed to kill people? What's the point? Now it's my family's turn to tell you. This is what my family wants to tell you. Although life is more important than death in heaven, it pays back straight, and repays grievances with grievances." Mrs. Jiang praised.

"This kills his whole family, hiss..." Zhuang Xun still thinks of the Duke Zhen's family just now, he thinks it's almost as good as killing Lu Buying.

"It depends on what you think. Last time, you killed all the officials in the mansion, and said that you have awakened to murder." Mrs. Jiang blinked.

Zhuang Xun was stunned by the electric shock, and lowered his head: "I killed the wrong one? I don't admit my mistake, if I don't kill them, everyone will run away with me in the future."

"That's right, that's right... Just to see if Jiedu is indulging in the joy of killing, it seems that I'm worrying too much, I'm not going to accompany Jiedu." Mrs. Jiang said apologetically.

"No, it's just that if you become greedy, will you give up on me, Mrs. Jiang?" Zhuang Xun asked cautiously.

"It's possible, why, are you afraid that the slave family will give up on you? You won't give up easily, after all, the slave family has bet heavily on Jiedu." Mrs. Jiang replied with a smile, feeling a little amused.

"It's scary. I respect Madam Jiang very much. If you choose to leave me, it will feel like you have done something wrong." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly.

"So you keep holding the slave's handkerchief. The last time I let the slave's family be laughed at by the lady Xuannv for so long." I wanted to say that I would not leave you, but it was weird to say it. Madam Jiang said angrily.

A handkerchief flew out from Zhuang Xun's cuff and floated between the two of them. Zhuang Xun's cheeks turned red like Guan Gong, and a little alcohol helped.

"I don't know. I've been using it as a talisman, and I haven't shown it to anyone. I'm sorry, I'm Meng Lang, like a disciple."

Stand up and admit your mistake, although he was indeed used as a talisman, he was blessed last time at the Longevity Banquet.

"A talisman? It's indeed a talisman. If that's the case, keep it and treat it as a token of our relationship." Seeing that Zhuang Xun was already nervous and didn't know what to say, Madam Jiang smiled and didn't pursue it anymore.

It has its own mark to let others know that it is itself, and it is the protection of the Xuannv faction. It can indeed be regarded as a talisman. It is quite commemorative to say that it protected his longevity banquet. Zhuang Xun is also full of respect for himself every day, Lenovo Zhuang Xun is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and she has no intention of teasing Zhuang Xun.

The handkerchief flew back to Zhuang Xun's cuff, and Zhuang Xun's frantically beating heart fell, giving birth to strands of thoughts that shouldn't be there.
