Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Chapter 39 Two Into One, King Qi's Wrath

Zhao Kuo hesitated a little, but gave up the idea of ​​continuing to go up to find his fiancée to make out.

After all, this is the ancient times. It is a shocking thing for a girl to take the initiative to offer a kiss and say it. As a man, I must respect the girl's little reserve in the future.

Moreover, Tian Sixing, who just got up beside him, always looked a little weird, and always felt that this guy seemed to be thinking about some life-threatening things.

Zhao Kuo went home happily, and suddenly raised his hand when he walked in front of Tian Sixing.

Driver Tian screamed and ran several feet away, rolling and crawling.

Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Brother, I can understand your desire to complete the mission as an envoy of the Qi State.

But have you ever thought that so many ministers and princes in the Qi State do not come to dowry, why is it that you, a small secretary, are the ones to complete this task?

If you figure it out, I welcome you to thank me for saving your life at any time. "

Tian Sixing covered his red and swollen cheeks like a pig's head, and watched Zhao Kuo drive away in the car. He was so ashamed and indignant that he couldn't help pointing in the direction where Zhao Kuo disappeared and yelled: "You crazy thing, what are you talking about for saving your life?" , I..." Tian Sixing's body suddenly trembled violently, and he figured out the joints involved.

Yes, King Qi and those ministers knew from the very beginning that this task would never succeed, so this task fell to the little Tian Sixing.

After the failure, Tian Sixing is the ghost who takes the place of the dead!Thinking of this, Tian Sixing broke out in a cold sweat, and the way he looked at Zhao Kuo's leaving direction suddenly changed.

Zhao Kuo was right, he did save Tian Sixing's life!Zhao Kuo returned home and came to his mother's room: "Mom, I'm going to get married soon!"

Zhao's mother was surprised when she heard the words, and then she was overjoyed: "Who told you about the matchmaker, and which family is the woman from?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "It's Mr. Pingyuan's matchmaker, and the woman is Tian Wan, Princess of Qi!"

"Princess Qi?"

Mother Zhao was taken aback.

Zhao Kuo told Zhao's mother in detail about the cause and effect of the future.

After Zhao's mother listened, Rao was already mentally prepared, and still couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuo with a surprised expression: "Kuo'er, I really didn't expect you to be a princess' mother-in-law for my mother." ?”

Although Zhao's mother has already been Mrs. Jun, she couldn't help being extremely proud when she thought that there would be a princess as her daughter-in-law, and she held Zhao Kuo's hand tightly: "Quickly, I will go to sacrifice you with my mother." Father, tell him this great event!"

There is a small mourning hall in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion. The mourning hall has been cleaned spotlessly, and there is a memorial tablet on it, which is the spiritual tablet of Zhao Kuo's deceased father Ma Fujun Zhao She.

Mother Zhao took Zhao Kuo respectfully to burn incense, and suddenly cried in front of the spirit tablet: "Your Honor, have you seen it?

Our Kuo'er has grown up, became a minister, and even married a princess. After my concubine dies, I can go to see you with peace of mind. "

Looking at Zhao's mother who was crying in front of him, although Zhao Kuo was a time traveler, he still had some emotions in his heart.

Poor parents in the world.

Zhao Kuo respectfully kowtowed three times towards Ma Fujun and Zhao She’s spiritual seat, and said silently in his heart: “Ma Fujun, I am not the Zhao Kuo you were born to, but since I became Zhao Kuo and gained a new life because of time travel, I also I will do well what Zhao Kuo should do, take good care of Zhao Kuo's family, and will do ten times, a hundred times better than the original Zhao Kuo!"

Strange to say, after Zhao Kuo finished reading these words silently in his heart, his mind suddenly became clear, as if some obsession dissipated with a snap.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo had an extremely strong intuition that the original Zhao Kuo had completely disappeared from this body.

From today, he is Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo is him.

The news that Zhao Kuo was about to marry the princess of Qi quickly spread, detonating Handan City.

After hearing the news, countless girls waiting to be married hid in their boudoirs and cried secretly, and silently regarded the Princess Qi who had taken away their sweetheart, whom they had never met, as their mortal enemy in their hearts.

Many aristocrats of the Zhao Kingdom who want to curry favor or form an alliance with Zhao Kuo are also extremely regretful. You must know that Zhao Kuo, the young Zhao Guoxin God of War, will definitely have the ability to influence Zhao Guo’s political arena and even the world’s situation in the next few decades. It's a pity that this big man, who can be called the only super rich son-in-law in the world, is gone like this.

Under Zhao Wang's order, Zhao Guo sent an envoy to Linzi to explain the situation to Qi Wang Tianjian.

King Qi's face immediately became extremely ugly after listening to the envoy of Zhao State's explanation. After finally waiting for the envoy of Zhao State to leave the scene, King Qi couldn't bear it anymore and was furious: "This King Zhao is too much. What is the widow's sister, so casually rewarding his courtiers, where is the face of Qi and the widow?"

In front of King Qi, several important officials of Qi State looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came: "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

I saw a middle-aged lady in palace attire in her early 40s slowly entering the palace surrounded by several court ladies. This lady was mature and beautiful, and she exuded an elegant and dignified temperament in her gestures. She didn't leave any marks on her face at all, making her a peerless beauty.

When King Qi and the officials saw this lady in palace attire, they stood up and saluted one after another: "I have seen the Queen Mother."

"Why is the queen mother here?"

That's right, this mature, beautiful and extremely noble lady is the queen mother of Qi State, known as the king and queen.

King Qi was only 16 years old when he succeeded to the throne. At that time, the queen was the queen mother who came to the court and ruled Qi.

The monarchs and ministers of Qi State waited until the queen sat down before taking their seats again.

The queen glanced at King Qi, and sighed: "The old woman heard that there was an envoy from Handan, so she came to ask how my poor Wan'er was doing. She didn't expect to see the king so angry when she came here. what's going on?"

King Qi said bitterly: "My mother doesn't know something, so the envoy sent by King Zhao just said that he would destroy the original marriage contract and marry Wanmei to that Zhao Kuo, it is simply unreasonable!"

The queen was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Could it be the Zhao Kuo who defeated Qin's God of War Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping and is known as the new generation of Zhao's God of War?"

King Qi said angrily: "That's right, it's that Zhao Kuo! Originally Wanmei should be the queen, because it is enough to be a side concubine if she wants to marry Zhao Guo, but now she wants to marry a courtier of Zhao Guo Zhao Kuo, how can this work!"

The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the old lady thinks that if Wan'er can really marry Zhao Kuo, it would be a good marriage."

Chapter 40 King Qi agrees to the marriage

When the Queen Mother said this, King Qi was stunned for a moment, and after a while he asked, "What does Queen Mother mean?"

That is to say, the king said this later, if other people dared to say that, the king of Qi would have scolded him long ago.

The queen's beautiful big eyes slowly turned, revealing the light of wisdom, and said: "My lord, why did Wan'er go to Zhao country?

It's just to make Zhao Guo a good friend, so that Zhao Guo will no longer attack our Qi State, right? "

King Qi's face was a bit ugly, but he still nodded.

Qi State was originally a first-class power among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but more than 20 cities were captured by Le Yi of Yan State when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi more than 70 years ago, leaving only Jimo and Jucheng. If Arita Dan was in danger to save the country, Qi would perish at that time.

Since then, the Qi State has been seriously injured and reduced to a second-rate country. Although it has been recuperating for so many years, it still has not recovered. In these years, the war with Zhao State has been defeated. This is why Tian Wan has to go to Zhao State to get married, hoping to be able to do so. And stop the war with Zhao.

The queen said: "Wan'er has been in Zhao country for a while, but Zhao Wang has not agreed to this marriage for a long time, which shows that Zhao Wang definitely does not want to marry our Qi country.

But Zhao Kuo is different. Zhao Kuo is now the great Sima of the State of Zhao, and a veritable minister of the State of Zhao. If Wan'er can marry Zhao Kuo, then she can influence the King of Zhao through Zhao Kuo, and play a role in the friendship between Qi and Zhao. effect.

Isn't this the result the king wants to see? "

King Qi was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

Several ministers of the Qi State who were present thought about it carefully, and felt that the Queen's words were very reasonable, and they all spoke in agreement.

In particular, Hou Sheng, the prime minister of the state of Qi, strongly agreed with the Queen's opinion. The reason is very simple, because Hou Sheng is the younger brother of the Queen.

King Qi also began to waver after being told this, and couldn't help but said: "But, who can guarantee that Zhao Kuo will speak for our country Zhao after marrying Wanmei?"

The queen smiled slightly, took out a piece of silk paper from her sleeve, and said: "This is a letter from Wan'er, the king will know it after reading it."

King Qi took the letter, looked at it and couldn't help but become weird: "Sister Wan, she actually saved Zhao Kuo's life, and fell in love with Zhao Kuo?"

If it wasn't for the handwriting on this letter being the same as Tian Wan's, King Qi would really doubt whether this letter was made up by some third-rate family.

The queen sighed, and said: "My lord, when Qi was attacked by the princes led by Yan, your father was afraid that others would recognize him as a prince, so he changed his face and entered the old woman's house as a servant. My wife doesn't know your father's true identity, but she still recognizes him, and if he doesn't marry, that's love."

Although the queen's words sounded a bit incomprehensible, King Qi still understood.

King Qi was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, since the queen mother said so, what else can the widow say?

Let Wanmei marry her love, and hope she can have a good result.

By the way, the envoy of King Zhao also said that he would convene a meeting of the princes in Handan, so the widow will go to Handan to participate in the meeting, and marry Wanmei by the way. "

Handan, Qi Guoguan Station.

"Zhao Kuo, do you think my brother Wang will really agree to our marriage?"

Tian Wan's delicate and fair arms supported her pretty face, and a look of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Although it is said that they cannot meet before they get married, the two have just confirmed their relationship and it is the time when they are passionately in love.

Zhao Kuo is now running to the post office every day, and Tian Sixing no longer does anything to stop him, but every time he sees Zhao Kuo, he still looks complicated, and wants to thank Zhao Kuo several times, but in the end he still Did not say it.

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan intently, feeling that he couldn't get enough of the face of his sweetheart in front of him, and wished he could stay together all the time. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, whether it's emotional or From a rational point of view, your brother Wang will marry you to me."

Tian Wan blushed and said in a low voice, "You know again?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "From an emotional point of view, you don't marry unless I am, and I don't marry unless you are.

From a rational point of view, the King of Qi knows that our King Zhao will never marry Qi, so he either does not marry you, or if he wants to marry, marrying me, an important official of Zhao, is the best choice up. "

Tian Wan shook her head and said, "I know all the truths you said, but I'm still a little worried after all."

"There's nothing to worry about."

Zhao Kuo said seriously, "I'm here, Wan'er."

This is obviously a love story that is so earthy, but for some reason, when it comes out of Zhao Kuo's mouth, Tian Wan's heart is as sweet as eating honey.

Like glue, like paint, like sugar, like honey.

This is love.

Zhao Kuo returned home full of joy, looking forward to another day of reunion.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback by Xu Li's sudden appearance: "You don't take good care of your wounds, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, Xu Li was covered with bandages all over his body, and he was carried over by two servants. If he covered it with straw mats, the story of an unjust nobleman beating his retainers to death would be freshly revealed.

Xu Li's spirit seems to have improved a lot. According to the doctor, he will be able to get up and walk in one month, and he will be back to normal in about half a year.

Xu Li smiled wryly and said: "My lord, if the matter is not urgent, I wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Zhao Kuo asked someone to carry Xu Li into his room, and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Li said: "Master, I heard that you are going to marry Princess Qi soon?"

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said with some complacency: "That's right."

Xu Li's face suddenly became a little strange, and he asked, "Well, is the future wife's dowry much?"

Zhao Kuo said: "I don't know, why do you ask this suddenly?"

After Xu Liqi for a long time, Ai Ai finally couldn't bear it and said: "It's such a lord, our house is about to run out of money."

"what?"

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth wide in surprise: "No money?

how can that be? "

As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo's thinking is actually very simple.

I have become such a big official, and you actually told me that I have no money?

This is no joke.

Xu Li spread his hands and said: "My lord, this is not the time for us to be alive.

The land and property granted by Junhou during his lifetime were taken back when Junhou died. "

Zhao Kuo said: "Of course I know this, but didn't the king reward me with a lot of land and money?"

Xu Li said: "The wife of Mrs. Zhao has already used these money to reward the retainers and soldiers who went out with you this time.

Originally, there are [-] mu of land left in the mansion, but if the harvest is not good this year, it will be enough. The fields rewarded to you by the king have just been harvested, and they will not be available until at least next year.

There is also a cloth workshop and a smelting workshop in Dafu, but this year's income is relatively average.

In addition to the daily maintenance of the five hundred soldiers in the mansion, the pensions of the twenty guards who died in the assassination incident, the daily renovation of the mansion, the daily necessities of thousands of people in the mansion, and your car The maintenance of horses, horses, and weapons, this is not counting the huge expenses of your upcoming wedding." "Stop, stop! "

Zhao Kuo had a headache and interrupted Xu Li's words.

Zhao Kuo has a deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence.

Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just that I don't have money? I'll just figure out a way!"

Chapter 41: Money-making plan, Handan League

The next day, Zhao Kuo sent someone to find Guo Zong and Zhou Shaofen.

You have to cooperate with generals in war, and of course you have to cooperate with merchants if you want to make money.

Zhou Shaofen said happily: "Zhao Qing, the king has issued an order two days ago to let me go to Shangdang County as the county guard."

Zhou Shaofen is very happy, after all, he owns [-]% of the shares of ginseng.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly when he heard the words, and thought to himself that I recruited Mr. Pingyuan to be the major shareholder. With Mr. Pingyuan making a move, wouldn't you be able to capture a small sheriff like you?
