Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 221 Are You Playing So Big? (4K)

The cool morning breeze blew, and Zai Yu sat in the camp fire to keep warm.

He woke up very early today, since he left Emperor Qiugong's palace last night, he has been thinking about Marquis Wei's attitude towards the State of Lu.

Although he has tried his best to change Marquis Wei's view of Lu State, but it is not yet known how much effect he will receive.

If Wei Hou is still unwilling to lend food until the end, he has to consider whether there are other ways to save the emergency.

Zaiyu thought about it all night, and felt that the only ones who could lend food to Lu were Jin and Song.

Other countries are either too far apart, or have already followed Qi to rebel against Jin. Although from a moral point of view, they still have the possibility of borrowing food, Zaiyu is not willing to test these countries with their conscience on the issue of the survival of the people. .

After all, if you don't borrow it, you will really starve to death.

What's more, Zaiyu happened to have a relationship in Jin and Song, so he could leave.

The Zhao family of the Jin State has a close personal relationship with him, and Zhao Yang is now eager to expand Zhao's international influence, and use this to fight against the ruling minister Fan Yang.

And Zhao Yang's son, Zhao Wuji, is his student. If Zaiyu used this relationship to speak to Zhao Yang, he would surely get some response.

As for Song Guo, you can follow the path of your classmates.

Sima Geng, a well-known and honest man among Confucians, is the younger brother of Xiang Chao, the Zuo teacher of the Song Dynasty, and Xiangchao, the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty.

Pengcheng is a city with thousands of households in Song Dynasty, that is to say, Sima Geng didn't do any shit, but now he manages more people than Zaiyu.

Coupled with the fact that his elder brother and his second brother are both high-ranking ministers of the Song Dynasty, it can be foreseen that Sima Geng's career will be smooth in the near future.

It is through Sima Geng's life experience that Jae Yu truly understands what it means: you have your background, I have my story, I am not very hard, but you better not touch it.

Zi Niu, just because of your family conditions, you still hang out with us poor boys every day...

what's going on?

The second generation of Qing experience life?
Why don't you play Metamorphosis for me here?
Every time Zaiyu thinks of this, he can't help but think of the couplet he saw on Chen Tao's phone.

Shanglian: If you say you can do it, you can do it, and you can do it if you can’t.

The second couplet: Say no, no, no, no.

Hengpi: Not convinced!
Holding the twig, Zaiyu sighed while stirring the flames in the bonfire.

"Shiqing Shilu killed people!"

But thanks to Sima Geng's blessing, Zaiyu now has another way to borrow food.

Zaiyu was whispering, when Zigong suddenly opened the door curtain and walked in.

Hearing Jaiyu's muttering, he swaggered to Jaiyu's side and sat down to warm himself by the fire.

"My son, what are you talking about?"

Zaiyu sighed repeatedly: "I was thinking, with Ziniu's family background, is it still necessary to follow Zijian's ass every day to learn how to get along with girls?
Song Guoxiang's son, as soon as this identity is revealed, how many high-ranking families want to marry their daughters in, so he still has to worry about marrying a wife?

Could it be that he has been with us for so long that he has forgotten his identity?How can this empathize with Bo Yu? "

"Eh!"

Zi Gong glared at the words: "My son, what you said is wrong. What's wrong with Bo Yu? Bo Yu's father is Master, and Master is also a doctor of Lu State now. Could it be that Bo Yu's family background is very poor? ?”

Zai Yu turned the twig to the side, put his hands into his sleeves, and replied with his head squinted and his eyes squinted.

"Don't do this with me. There are no outsiders here. Take back your sanctimonious taste."

Zi Gong looked around and found that Zai Yu hadn't lied to him, so he relaxed.

He replied: "Actually, I also asked Ziniu about this matter. He said: 'I don't want others to change their opinion of me because of my identity. What is it to get a salary and get a marriage contract based on my ancestor's Yu Ze?" ability?'"

"and then?"

"Then he will return to Song Dynasty to inherit the position of doctor."

As soon as Zi Gong finished speaking, he and Zai Yu spit into the fire together.

"Bah! Disgusting."

The two of them warmed up by the fire for a while, feeling their bodies warmer, Zigong asked again.

"I heard that you went to Weiguo Palace last night, why did you go?"

Zaiyu replied slowly: "Marquis Wei invites me to drink."

"Will you drink?" Zigong frowned, and took a hissing breath: "This..."

Jae Yu squinted at him: "Why do you have this expression?"

"Only drinking?"

"if not?"

"That's Marquis Wei!"

"What happened to Marquis Wei? Marquis Wei..."

As soon as Zai Yu's words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong.

"Zigong, what do you mean kid?"

Zigong was sitting solemnly and said: "I just think that if it's for borrowing food, you don't need to do it."

Zai Yu said angrily, "I like women!"

Zigong said in a trembling voice, "Marquis Wei also said that he likes women!"

Zaiyu scolded angrily: "Marquis Wei's wife was also present last night!"

"What!" Zi Gong opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "Are you guys playing so big?!"

"Come on! Come on! There are assassins in the big tent, and someone assassinated me with words!"

"Hey! Son, why are you still calling someone!"

Zaiyu roared out, and a soldier rushed into the big tent.

Zigong thought that the soldier was here to capture him, and was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

But the soldier obviously didn't intend to take Zigong down. He came to Zaiyu and reported: "Doctor, the vanguard of the Jin army has arrived in Yanze, and the other side sent an envoy to tell you that the commander of the Jin army wishes to meet you." one side."

Zaiyu got up quickly when he heard the words, he asked.

"Who is the leader of Jin? Is it Zhao Zi, Fan Zi, or Zhong Xingzi?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "Neither of them."

"Neither? Who is that?"

The soldier replied: "Doctor of Jin State, Cheng He and She Tuo."

"Cheng He, She Tuo?"

Zai Yu frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

He quickly ordered: "Order the whole army to get ready, and then follow me out of the camp to join the Jin army."

……

On the bank of Huanze, outside the camp of the Jin army.

Zaiyu's chariot was parked outside the temporary camp gate, and from a distance, he could see soldiers of the Jin army transporting soil with bamboo baskets on their shoulders.

And a simple mound high platform is slowly taking shape under their efforts.

Seeing this situation, Zigong who was standing beside Zaiyu couldn't help but wondered: "I just arrived at the place, and I was in a hurry to build a platform. Are the Jin people planning to hold the alliance meeting today? Could it be too hasty? ?”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few loud laughs coming from the front.

Two muscular men with long beards were walking towards them with wild geese and lambs in their hands.

Seeing this, Zaiyu and the others hurriedly got off the chariot and saluted the two of them.

Before Zaiyu could speak, the two began to sing.

"There is a platform in Nanshan, and there is Lai in Beishan. Only a gentleman is the foundation of a country. Only a gentleman is happy, and there is no end to life."

(Nanshan grows rosacea, and Beishan grows tender quinoa. The gentleman is very happy, and it is the foundation of the country. The gentleman is really happy, and his life is endless)

"There are mulberries in the southern mountains, and poplars in the northern mountains. The joy of a gentleman is the light of the country. The joy of a gentleman is boundless."

(Green mulberry grows in Nanshan, Changbai poplar grows in Beishan. A gentleman is very happy, and strives for glory for the country. A gentleman is really happy, and his life is boundless for ten thousand years)

When Zaiyu heard the song "Nanshan Youtai", he immediately understood the meaning of the two.

They were praising Zaiyu for his achievements in defeating Qi and protecting Lu, and they planned to express their blessings to him with lambs and wild geese as congratulatory gifts.

And the identities of these two people are also self-evident, they must be Cheng He and She Tuo, the senior officials of Jin State.

Zai Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and sang poems back.

"Cutting lumber, birds chirping. From the deep valley, moved to the trees. Chirping, begging for the voice of its friends."

(Dong dong sound of logging, chirping and chirping of birds. The birds come from the deep valley and fly to the top of tall trees. Why do the birds chirp? It’s just for the sound of acquaintances)

Cheng He and She Tuo praised Zaiyu's achievements with "Taiwan in Nanshan", and Zaiyu thanked Jin for extending a helping hand to Lu with a song "Logging". At the same time, they also used this to emphasize the close relationship between the two countries. The Lu alliance is unbreakable and indestructible.

Sure enough, when Cheng He and She Tuo heard Zai Yu reciting poems, the smiles on their faces became stronger.

The two came to Zaiyu and saluted and said: "I have heard about Zaizi's name for a long time, Cheng He, doctor of Pingyin (doctor She Tuo of Heyang), pays a visit to Zaizi!"

Zai Yu also smiled back and said: "I have admired the reputation of the two for a long time. Both of them are fearless gentlemen who are famous all over the world. feat.

Compared with the merits of the two of you, what are these things I have done? "

No one would hate others to flatter themselves, let alone Jae Yu's well-founded bragging.

Cheng He and She Tuo didn't expect that Zai Yu would know all about his past, they responded with a smile.

"The Zaizi is overrated. Most of the achievements in successfully completing the mission of conquering Yiluo's army and destroying the Lu family's country should be attributed to Zhao Zi of our country. We are just soldiers who guard him with spears. How dare we jump into action?" What about credit?"

Hearing this, Zai Yu finally confirmed the political orientation of the two.

The previous news from the merchant traveler from the state of Jin was correct. Cheng He and She Tuo were doctors who were attached to the Zhao family of the state of Jin.

Since he is a member of the Zhao family, many things will be easier to handle.

Zaiyu asked: "The two of you are too modest. But then again, I heard that this time the Jin division is going out, and the commanders are Zhao Zi, Fan Zi and Zhong Xingzi. Why are they not seen here?"

Cheng He heard the words and replied: "Fan Zi, as our country's governing minister, has important responsibilities, so after learning that the Qi people have withdrawn from the army, he has already led the army back with Zhong Xingzi.

As for Zhao Zi, he felt cold and unwell during the march, so he entrusted the two of us to make an oath. I hope you will not be offended. "

Entrust a doctor to complete the oath?
Zaiyu and Zigong looked at each other, and they had the same premonition in their hearts.

It's over, something bad is going to happen!

There is an old saying: the major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs.

Sacrifice and war are the top priorities of state affairs.

The oath is also a kind of sacrifice.

On such an occasion, let alone a minor illness such as wind-cold, even if the participant is only hanging on his breath, he has to be carried to the scene.

Zhao Yang, as the Minister of State of Jin, could not have been ignorant of this matter.

Now that he knew it, he still did it, it must be because he wanted to humiliate Marquis Wei.

I am afraid that he was dissatisfied with Marquis Wei's previous behavior of betraying the state of Jin, so he appointed two officials with lower status to swear an oath with Marquis Wei, and humiliated and beat the state of Wei in this way of lowering etiquette, warning them to serve the state of Jin Don't be half-hearted.

Thinking of this, Zai Yu couldn't help but want to punch Zhao Yang.

I tried my best to restore the relationship with Weiguo, but it turned out that you were lucky enough to give me such a diplomatic insult directly.

If Marquis Wei knew about this, wouldn't he hate Jin to death?

It doesn't matter if you hate Jin, but what if you hate me too?
I still want to ask him to buy food!
It’s true that the Shangqing of a big country is used to doing it. Occasionally, you also consider the situation of us small country officials, okay?

Do you know, you are like this, it really makes it difficult for me to kill you!

Jae Yu thought about it, and came up with an idea in his mind.

He asked: "I have a very good personal relationship with Zhao Zi, and now he is caught with the wind and cold, and I happen to know some ways to treat the cold disease here, why don't you two take me to see Zhao Zi now, I'm fine..."

Shi He replied: "I don't need to worry about the cold disease. Besides, Zhao Zi has led the army back to the country. If you go after him now, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up in a while!"

what? !

Zhao Yang is going back now?
Zai Yu was so angry that his head hurt.

Zigong also murmured, "It's over, you've drunk your wine for nothing."

After hearing this, Zaiyu stared at Zigong, "I didn't drink."

On the other hand, Shen Shun was at a loss. He rubbed the back of his head and asked in confusion, "What are you muttering about? What kind of wine?"

Zigong coughed, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Shen Shun wondered, "Why shouldn't you ask?"

Zigong cleared his throat, and said flatly: "There is an old saying: hide shame for the venerable, hide faults for the sage, and hide disease for the relatives."

After hearing this, Shen Shu frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple.

But She Tuo at the side didn't hear their conversation clearly, only heard the word "wine", so he thought they wanted to drink.

He laughed and asked: "We still have some wine here, if you don't mind, you can come in and drink some to warm your body."

Shi He also enthusiastically said: "I heard that Lu wine has a weak taste, while my Jin wine is stronger. I just wonder if you can get used to the flavor of Jin wine!"

When Zaiyu heard that the topic was about to go off track, he hurriedly opened his mouth to turn the direction of the wind back.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he heard the sound of a rumbling car behind him.

He looked back, and on the plain in the distance, a formation of vehicles bearing the flag of the State of Wei was driving towards them, obviously they were the subordinates of the Marquis of Wei.

When Cheng He saw this, he winked at She Tuo.

But their small actions could not escape Jai Yu's eyes.

Zaiyu was shocked.

What exactly did Zhao Yang explain to you?

Are you guys going to do some hard work for Marquis Wei?

　Ask for tickets to Zilu.I want to use reliable people, people with a clear mind.We are Confucian scholars, not murderers, so don't be too harsh.
