Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 601: Sister (Part 2) End of Volume 2

Ji Ying is nearly 20 years old. Her beauty in the past has not lost one part, but her demeanor has become more and more mature. She went straight to the ground and asked:

"Prince Daiguo didn't say anything from a matchmaker, and didn't ask my parents' orders. Did he want to ask me to run away?"

"This..." The envoy of Dai Guo touched his dog's fur hat and was speechless. 【Read the latest chapter..】

Daiguo is a clan formed by the combination of the remaining Red Di clan, which was conquered by the Jin State many years ago, and the local Beirong. After the defeat of Wu and Wei Shu in the Jin Dynasty in the Battle of Dayuan, his generation retreated to the north of Xiawu Mountain to establish a country, and lived a half-farming and half-herding life. Today, there are more than 100,000 people, more than a thousand people who can ride horses and bend bows, and hold shields. With nearly 10,000 blade holders, it is regarded as the strongest Rong and Di state in the north.

However, the culture of the generation is backward, the hair is on the left side, the etiquette is unknown, and the marriage customs in the Central Plains are very unknown.

Ji Ying taught him a lesson: "Ming media is marrying someone as a wife, and someone who is running as a concubine. In these gifts, I only see the ignorance and shallowness of the Crown Prince of the State to me and the humiliation of my Zhao family, but I don't see the so-called so-called Sincerity. Please return, please return these gifts to the prince of your country one by one, and ask him to remember!"

"The daughter of the surname Ying is not a random person."

After that, he was not allowed to say anything, the girl raised her slender hand, and the concubines raised their chariots again, turned around and returned to the city, leaving only the dumbfounded envoy of the country who was stopped by a layer of spears and halberds.

"As expected of the eldest sister of the Zhao family, don't fall into the family prestige!"

Hearing the cheers from the people of the Zhao family behind him, and the insults to the prince of Daiguo, Ji Ying, who was sitting on the chariot, showed a smile.

That's right, she is now not only a shirtless elder sister, but also a "sister" of Zhao Ren from Jinyang!

...

Ji Ying grew up in the warm southern border of Jin State. Because it was the capital operated by Tang, Yao, Xia and Jin dynasties, Hedong has a small land and a large population. Although the local folk customs have the arrogance of the people who dominate the country, they are inevitably stingy and frugal. Familiar with the world.

She has been staying in the Lower Palace and Xintian for more than ten years, where the Luyuan is a bright and clear garden, where cuckoos sing in the hidden forest nests, every summer. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and when she left there, she was reluctant for a while.

But Jinyang, located in the vast northern border, is a different story.

Formerly known as Taiyuan and Dalu, this place is located in the northern border of Jin State, by the Jinshui River. The Zhao clan ruled here for only thirty years. This is a dark and primitive place, the dim Rongdi Tubao stands majestically independent, the ancient trees of ten thousand years lie in the surrounding, the forest exudes the smell of cold and loneliness, and everywhere is barbaric and desolate.

But once developed, it can be regarded as a fertile soil full of hope!

The Xia people who migrated from the south mixed and merged with the indigenous Rong and Di, so the folk customs advocated uprightness and competitiveness, and took it as their duty to help the weak and suppress the strong. They were reluctant to engage in agricultural and commercial businesses, but instead cultivated a martial-arts style and strong female characters. Men often gather in the cities to play games, sing generously and mournfully. At the same time, they also regard the ladies of the Zhao family who often ride around the cities as gods.

This place is also adjacent to the kingdoms of Rong and Di, such as Dai and Wuji, and has been repeatedly plundered. Therefore, in the autumn and winter of last year, Ji Ying often saw scenes of everyone bravely willing to join the army and seeking wealth in danger once there were police officers on the border.

After comparing the two, she still prefers Jinyang more, although it is not as comfortable as the south. But here the world is much wider than that. The intrigue in the Xintian palace is of no use here. Instead, it is easy to win the support of the people in the country, and it is far more secure than the lower palace when his father and Wu Xie are not there.

Zhao's management of Jinyang started from Zhao Jingzi, the previous generation of patriarchs. But not on a large scale. When Zhao Yang arrived, under the auspices of Dong Anyu, he built a city, supervised the construction of warehouses, and strengthened the city defense, making it a military fortress and the new capital of the Zhao family.

After entering the city. With the barrier of the tall city wall, the autumn wind in July has eased a bit, and it seems that it is not as violent as outside.

Ji Ying's destination is the high-rise building. She likes to climb high and look far. When she was young, she was waiting for her father to go on an expedition. Later, she was looking forward to the return of the unsympathetic, and it became a habit when her hope faded.

If you want to go up to the city tower, you have to climb the corridor between the city walls and go up and down along the winding stairs. Ji Ying has a tough personality, but is not a delicate girl who is soft and unable to walk. She simply let the concubines retreat, and she walked up slowly, climbing to a place close to the sky, and finally the scenery of the whole city was unobstructed.

On the tower, she could see the vast appearance of Jinyang City unfolding in front of her. All the hustle and bustle of the city and the noise of people were at her feet. Only the birds in the sky hovered above her head. She can look down on the city below: watch the craftsmen hauling copper columns to the palace area, watch the officials thicken and increase the thin city wall with rammed earth, watch the slack farming women cut their jobs The trunks of plants such as sagebrush and other plants whispered.

Above the tallest tower, the designer of this city is wearing a dark coat, overseeing all this with his hands behind his back.

"I've seen Dong Zi." Ji Ying stepped forward and bowed solemnly to the gray-bearded old man.

...

Dong Anyu turned around, and also greeted Ji Ying and said, "Jun and daughter, have you sent away on behalf of the people of the country?"

"The generation knows that it is difficult to retreat."

"That's good, on behalf of the people, Rong Di, this move is too rude, and the lady handled it well."

Ji Ying respects Dong Anyu very much. He is not only the chief retainer of the Zhao family, but also the teacher of the children of the Zhao family. It was he who first judged the situation and turned his wise eyes to Taiyuan, which was far away from the other five ministers. Jinyang City was built on the west bank of the Fenhe River, which was backed by Longshan, faced Jinshui, Yuyi in the north, and Gengyang in the south.

Dong Anyu pointed to the scene Ji Ying had just seen and said to her: "The buildings in the city are made of copper pillars instead of wooden ones, the city wall is made of rammed earth with slabs, and the backbone of the wall is selected from the trunk of plants such as Digum wormwood with a height of more than ten feet. Once there is a police officer, the copper pillars can be melted into weapons, and the city walls cannot be easily breached, and Dihao can also be used to make arrow shafts.

Ji Ying felt a palpitation: "Dong Zi, is there going to be another war?"

Dong Anyu had worries in his eyes: "To tell the truth, with the situation of Jin State, war will break out sooner or later. The question is when, who will start first, and who are the offensive and defensive sides..."

The Zhao family hated each other with Fan and Bank of China. The Wei family had a grudge against the Fan family because of the funeral of Wei Xianzi, and the Han family was also bad with the Zhongxing family, and was like one with the Zhao family.

So once the war broke out, what would Zhao Weihan do to Fan and Bank of China? This should be certain, but the attitudes of Zhishi and Jinhou are worth pondering.

Dong Anyu suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Ying, who had the most beautiful appearance in the state of Jin, and asked solemnly, "If one day, the Zhao family is in danger, and Jinyang is besieged by powerful enemies, it is necessary for the princess to come forward and marry an outsider to get out of trouble. , Are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"

...

"Sacrificing yourself..."

Ji Ying's body trembled slightly, and a figure flashed in her heart, then she bit her lower lip, and nodded heavily after a while: "If there is such a day, in order to protect Zhao's family, in order to let father, let Wu Xie be able to overcome Strong enemy, I am willing to give everything!"

"Why? Maybe you will marry an enemy, maybe you will be in a precarious situation, maybe your father, brother and the husband you are marrying will turn against each other in the blink of an eye, leaving you unable to make a choice."

"Because I am the eldest sister of the Zhao family! As a member of the Zhao family, I die as a ghost of the Zhao family!"

That's right, the Zhao family has brought her up. She is the eldest sister of the Zhao family, and now she is also praised by the Zhao people in Jinyang as the "eldest sister".

Dong Anyu's old-fashioned face showed a smile again: "Your majesty is at ease, the old minister just asked this question, now that the Zhao family is strong, presumably next year, the connection between the east and the west and the two Zhaos can also be opened up. After the gentleman without shirts returns, Zhao The clan can be invincible to the Jin state, and no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be so bad. According to the master's intention, the marriage of the king's daughter can be imitated by the sister of Xu Wu's criminal in the state of Zheng, and be free among the many suitors. husband."

"Dong Zi... is joking again."

Ji Ying's face turned a little red, and she quickly recovered. Dong Zi knew her background clearly, but she was no longer young because she was holding a shirt all day, and Dong Anyu teased her and asked if she wanted to grow up when she grew up. The girl who blushed with embarrassment when she married this brother.

After Ji Ying left, there was still a faint scent of orchid on the city tower. Dong Anyu sighed as he watched the back of the red Qu Ju fade away.

Let her enjoy the rest of the time to the fullest. The sunny late summer and early autumn will soon come to an end, the winter is approaching, and there are not many days of childhood left.

Zhao Wuxi has been prosperous in the East these years, and the Zhao family is also doing well in the local area. The relocation of the capital to Jinyang has been successfully completed, and the integration of the counties and towns has been steadily progressing. The bridle of the shackles, which makes Dong Anyu feel great comfort.

Things seem to be developing for the better, but as a wise man, Dong Anyu can see the crisis in it.

Others only saw the submission of the Handan clan, but Dong Anyu saw their unwillingness and their connection with Fan and Bank of China.

Others only saw the loss and decline of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, but Dong Anyu saw that their strength was especially strong, and they were accumulating strength and wanted to bite Zhao.

Others only saw the ruling Zhisong's step-by-step concessions to Zhao Yang in the decision-making of the court, but Dong Anyu was aware of Zhi's intention to make Zhao the target of public criticism.

Others only see the favor of the Marquis of Jin towards the Zhao family, but they do not see that the Marquis of Jin has become increasingly jealous of the Zhao family because of Zhao Wuxi's specialization in Lu...

But what about knowing? Unless Zhao cuts off his limbs~www.readwn.com~, the growth cannot be stopped at all, and it cannot be stopped. The situation in Jin is like a six-seat racing car. Anyone who dares to hesitate will be pulled far behind. , and even car crashes!

Although Dong Anyu insists on preemptive strikes, once the war begins, it is difficult to predict the outcome.

Looking at the south where the showers were about to come, he said softly: "The Warring States fight against the enemy with their might, and cannot abandon their troops. By next year, the state of Jin may become a warring state, where the six ministers will merge with each other! "
