Bo Yao and Wu Xian were guarding in front of Zhao Xuan's bed, when he heard the porter announce the arrival of Zheng Yuming and Jiang Gui, he hurried out to greet them.

"Bo Yao was born a general, why did he resign from the army and return home?"

Zheng Yuming helped Bo Yao and Wu Mian who were presenting the salute stood up.

"Bo Yao was originally a pawn in front of my lord's stallion, so he should serve by my lord's side."

Bo Yao clasped his fists and replied, although his expression was apologetic, his attitude was firm.

Boyao was the most loyal to Zhao Xuan, and he would lead the army to attack Yan, just to avenge Zhao Xuan's shame.

Since he couldn't control the army he led, and couldn't help Zhao Xuan restore the country in terms of military strength, after the Wu-Yan war ended, Boyao resigned as a military attache and returned to Cannes, ready to accompany his old master.

Zheng Yuming turned his gaze to Wu Mian, and Wu Mian immediately lowered his head to avoid Zheng Yuming's gaze.Zhao Xuan refused to become an official, and Wu Xian also followed the old master.Since Wu Xian's life was saved by Zheng Yuming, Wu Xian was even more apologetic for refusing Zheng Yuming's request.

Zheng Yuming sighed slightly, Bo Yao is a very good general, Wu Xian is a good civil servant, Zheng Yuming really wanted to appoint them both.It's a pity that the two of them took their lord's opinion as their opinion, and Zhao Xuan refused to be an official, so the two of them were unwilling to come out to serve.Zheng Yuming was moved by their loyalty to Zhao Xuan, which is rare in the 21st century.

Zhao Xuan, who was lying on the bed, fell into a deep sleep, and Ai Ji sat on the low stool in front of the bed to take care of her.Zheng Yuming and Jiang Gui came in, Ai Ji stood up and wanted to wake Zhao Xuan up, Zheng Yuming waved his hand to stop him, and only let Jiang Gui come forward to treat Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan was startled awake by Jiang Gui's inspection. When he woke up, he found that Zheng Yuming was also in front of the bed, and immediately closed his eyes again.

Jiang Gui took Zhao Xuan's pulse, listened to the sound of heart and lungs with the metal earpiece, looked at the whites of Zhao Xuan's eyes, got up straight and walked to the table in the room, picked up a pen and prescribed medicine for Zhao Xuan.

Concerned about her husband's health, Ai Ji followed around the case, but hesitated to speak.

"Dean Jiang, how is Zhao Guozhu?" Zheng Yuming helped Ai Ji ask the question she wanted to ask.

The first medical school in Cannes was established last year, and Jiang Gui is the dean of the school.

"It's nothing serious, it's just depression." After Jiang Gui finished speaking, he wrote the prescription and handed it to Ai Ji. "Take a course of treatment first."

Ai Ji took it with both hands, and went out with the prescription to send someone to the pharmacy to buy it.

Jiang Gui waited for Ai Ji to go away, and wrote a line of words on the prescription paper with a charcoal pen. After Zheng Yuming finished reading it, he crumpled the paper into a ball and put it in the medicine box together with pens and stethoscopes, without saying goodbye to Zhao Xuan. Go away.

What Jiang Gui wrote on the prescription paper was only the words 'disease arises from the heart', and Zheng Yuming could understand why Zhao Xuan fell ill suddenly at a glance.

In just two months of civil strife in Zhao State, most of the officials who were loyal to Zhao Xuan were wiped out by Doctor You and King Yan, which was tantamount to destroying Zhao Xuan's foundation in Zhao State.In this way, after Wu State merged with Zhao State, all aspects of reconstruction went smoothly.

The more peaceful the state of Zhao is, the fewer forces resisting Wu's rule, and the Zhao state agrees with Wu's rule.

Zhao Xuan analyzed the news from newspapers and Ai Ji outside, and found that even if he could escape from Wu State and return to Zhao State, it would be impossible for him to restore his family.Boyao's bringing back the ashes of his eldest son and his inability to seize military power were the last two straws that overwhelmed Zhao Xuan's spirit.

Generally speaking, there are two internal and external causes of human illness. The internal cause is the disturbance of the seven emotions. Any emotion that cannot be controlled will damage the internal organs and cause deficiency symptoms of insufficient internal injury.What Zhao Xuan suffered from was deficiency syndrome.

The best treatment for deficiency syndrome is that heart disease needs a heart doctor. Only when you are in a cheerful mood and give up your obsessions can you gradually recover.If you persist in your obsession, no matter how skilled a person is, there is nothing you can do.

"The past follows the wind, Brother Wang, please relax your mind." Zheng Yuming sat in front of Zhao Xuan's bed, wanting to relieve Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan opened his eyes, stared at Zheng Yuming and sneered, "So what if Zhao is open-minded?"

"Brother Wang, have you forgotten that you promised Yu Ming before the deep ravine that you would die for this world?" When Zheng Yuming talked about the deep ravine, his pronunciation became aggravated.

If it wasn't for the wood and the long mane that stopped the two horses injured by Zhao Xuan in front of the deep ravine, both Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming would have died if they fell into the ravine. If Zheng Yuming died, he would have been killed by Zhao Xuan.After hearing Zheng Yuming's reasons for returning to rescue, Zhao Xuan has always felt guilty about his behavior of almost killing his savior.

When Zheng Yuming mentioned this, Zhao Xuan's expression softened a little.

"There is no such thing as Mr. Ming's great talent, and he holds the power tightly in his hands without making a show. Wu Guo has more hegemony than Zhao, and there is no less Zhao!" Zhao Xuan's words were sluggish.

"Brother Wang, how can you underestimate yourself? Don't say that Brother Wang is outstanding. Even ordinary people are indispensable to the country. How can you say that one more is not too much, and one less is not much?" Zheng Yuming retorted.

"Ordinary people are also indispensable to the country?" Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that Zheng Yuming was saying something new again.

"Of course, a country is like a running carriage, and the people in the country are like the parts of the carriage. Some are the horses, some are the coachman, some are the bridle, some are the wheels, and some are the carriage. Form a whole." Zheng Yuming compared.

Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered, not convinced by Zheng Yuming's metaphor.He glanced at the two people who were cleaning outside the window, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, and pointed out the window with his hand: "Those two are just my male favourites, and these two are also indispensable to the Wu Kingdom?"

Zheng Yuming turned his head and looked out the window, only to see two thin young men cleaning fallen leaves on the garden path.

"Uh, this..." Zheng Yuming was embarrassed, male pets are only for men to have fun, so they can't open a small restaurant, so be happy Wu Guonan.

Zhao Xuan's face showed a slight pleasure, Zheng Yuming ate the turtle, and Zhao Xuan felt happy in his heart.

"Brother Yu can make these two lowly people an indispensable part of Wu?" Zhao Xuan suddenly regained his energy. ? If not, don’t go to Zhao’s mansion in the future!”

Zhao Xuan's provocation stimulated Zheng Yuming. "If Yu Ming can make those two people indispensable to Wu, what will Brother Wang say?"

Zhao Xuan stared at Zheng Yuming, and replied word by word: "If Mr. Ming turns a lowly person into a talented person in Wu Guo, Zhao Xuan will only follow Mr. Ming in this life!"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Zheng Yuming stood up.

"Never repent!" Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming clapped their hands.

Ai Ji took Chang'er and stood on the rock in the garden, watching Zheng Yuming lead the two male pets away.

"Madam, will Young Master Ming win His Highness?" Chang'er was not optimistic about Zheng Yuming's side.

"I will win! Young Master Ming will win!" Ai Ji murmured to herself while pulling the brocade towel in her hand.

Although she lacks money, power, and people to serve, Ai Ji prefers to live her current life.Because she is the only hostess in the huge mansion.

Zheng Yuming took the two male pets away, and he didn't go to Zhao Xuan's mansion for a long time, but because of his gambling contract, Zhao Xuan had worries in his heart, his depression eased slightly, his condition eased, and his body gradually recovered.

In the sixth year of Wu Wangsheng, Zheng Yuming sent Zhao Xuan three pieces of red paper.

"What is this?" Zhao Xuan took the red paper from the delivery man.

"This is a movie ticket! Mr. Ming asked Zhao Guozhu to go and relax." The ticket sender replied.

"Aren't plays all about tricks, what's so interesting about it." Zhao Xuan threw the theater tickets onto the stage.

"Your Highness, go and have a look, Jing'er is quite bored at home." Ai Ji gently tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Mr. Ming for his kindness." Zhao Xuan stayed at home and mainly taught his four-year-old son Zhao Jing every day.After getting along with his clever son for a long time, Zhao Xuan loved his son more and more.

A new three-story building next to the central garden of Cannes is the theater. When Zhao Xuan's family of three arrived, there were many carriages parked near the theater, and there were a lot of people at the entrance, all checking tickets to enter.

Zhao Xuan's movie ticket seats are VIP seats, which are located on the second floor. You don't need to enter through the main door, you can go directly to the box on the second floor from the side door stairs.

Zhao Xuan took his son and wife up the stairs and found that there were guards patrolling the stairs.

"Master Zhao! Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time." Daniel stood at the door of a box and greeted Zhao Xuan with a split mouth.

Zhao Xuan walked into the box, and Zheng Yuming was sitting inside.

"Master Ming met Zhao today, could it be that he has trained those two prostitutes to be talented?" Zhao Xuan sneered.

"Brother Wang, let's discuss this issue after watching this play." Zheng Yuming smiled tolerantly and invited Zhao Xuan to take a seat.

Zhao Xuan glanced at Zheng Yuming, but couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zheng Yuming sold in his gourd.One side of the private room was facing the stage, and the sound of drums was beating on the stage. It was inconvenient for Zhao Xuan to say anything else, so he just sat down by Zheng Yuming's side.Ai Ji pulled Zhao Jing and Zheng Yuming to finish the salute, then sat in the corner with her son in her arms.

The drums on the stage stopped, the curtain opened in silence, and a melodious music came. A slender young woman appeared on the stage. The young woman sang a strange tune and sat on a spinning wheel while singing. before spun linen.

"Mother and concubine, what are you singing?" Zhao Jing didn't hold his breath to listen like an adult.

"It seems to be a antiphonal song." Ai Ji heard it for the first time. The woman sang beautifully, with a Wu tone, a bit like a folk song.

"It's Wu Qu." Zheng Yuming explained Zhao Jing's confusion.The singing style of Wuqu is similar to Huangmei tune of later generations, simple and smooth, bright and lyrical.

Zhao Xuan glanced at Zheng Yuming, and didn't understand why Zheng Yuming let him watch the play, even though the woman named Hua Mulan on the stage was good-looking and sang very well.

The opera on the stage is actually an adaptation of the story of Hua Mulan in the 21st century.It is about the invasion of the Rong people from the north to the south. Upon hearing the news, the lord of a vassal state near Changhe immediately recruited the people to resist, and stipulated that each family should get a man to go to the front line. Hua Mulan's father was weak and sick, and his younger brother was too young to go to the battlefield. , Hua Mulan decided to join the army in place of her father, and disguised herself as a man to enlist in the army to resist the soldiers and defend her homeland.

Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man, cherished each other with her comrades-in-arms and helped each other on the battlefield.

The Rong people were brutal, burning, killing, and looting. For the sake of their relatives and homeland, Hua Mulan and her comrades resisted the Rong people outside their homeland time and time again, so that their homeland would not be destroyed.

The soldiers were defeated and returned to the grassland. Hua Mulan retired from the army and returned to her hometown. Her comrades went to visit and found that Pao Ze, who had lived and died with her, was a daughter. She proposed marriage immediately, and Hua Mulan's father agreed.The opera ends with a wedding drama.

This opera has beautiful tunes, wonderful fights, twists and turns of the storyline, plus the real background of the Rong people's invasion, which makes people look at it intently, as if they were in the scene.Not only the adults thought it was exciting, but even the four-year-old Zhao Jing watched it with great interest.

"Brother Wang, what is the significance of this play?" Zheng Yuming asked with a smile.

"What a good woman! Women don't give way to men! If there are such women in all vassal states to resist bravely, how can there be no people in the middle of the Great Qin River." Zhao Xuan nodded affirmatively.

Three years ago when the Rong people invaded the South, if the princes of all countries had taken care of the righteousness and hadn't selfishly guarded the tall city walls and refused to save them, the Rong people would not have entered the land of no one at all, and the people there would not have been looted and tortured. kill.

"Will the artists perform this opera to awaken the resistance of the people?" Zheng Yuming asked.

"Of course!" Zhao Xuan nodded, seeing the brutality of the Rong people, the audience below the stage were all emotional, even Zhao Xuan's blood boiled.

"Is there any credit for the artist to arouse everyone's passion?" Zheng Yuming asked again.

"Of course..." Zhao Xuan suddenly stopped talking, and carefully looked at the artists standing on the stage for the curtain call, and found that the faces of the two who played Mulan and Hua Mulan's comrades-in-arms were familiar.

"Ah! Hua Mulan is dressed by a musician!" Ai Ji also recognized it.The musician Ai Ji was talking about was the male favorite who had been separated from Zheng Yuming for a year.

"Brother Wang, are the two of them useful?" Zheng Yuming smiled.

"Although the starting point is useful, the two of them are artists after all, and they are still of low status." Zhao Xuan was still stubborn.

"Brother Wang is so wrong! Artists in Wu Kingdom will not be lowly in status, they will become masters! Masters of art!" Zheng Yuming is very sure that as long as artists do not become the exclusive playthings of the rich and powerful, they will be idols in front of the public, is a star.

"Then wait for them to become masters, and then Mr. Zhao will be sent by Mr. Ming!" Zhao Xuan was a bit of a rascal. After all, Zheng Yuming should have won the bet.

"Oh! Brother Wang..." Zheng Yuming sighed, as if he was very disappointed.

"Brother Yu, my brother's health is not good, and I want to rest for another year or two. Bo Yao and Wu Xian can be sent by Brother Yu first." Zheng Yuming's resentful voice made Zhao Xuan feel guilty, and under guilt, he let go.

"Brother Wang, please take care of yourself and recover soon to benefit the world!" Zheng Yuming was delighted, since Zhao Xuan was willing to let Bo Yao and Wu Mian come to work, Zhao Xuan would also be an official in the near future.

At that time, Bo Yao was sent to Yan to lead the army, and Wu Xian went to Qi to serve as a civilian.Zhao Xuan is still his idle prince, but when Zheng Yuming discusses state affairs with him, Zhao Xuan will put forward his own opinions.

In the fall of Wu Wangsheng's eighth year, the Rong people went south to harass him again. When Zhao Xuan learned about it, he offered to become an official.Zheng Yuming appointed Zhao Xuan as the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, in charge of civil affairs.Zhao Xuan changed his mind. First, he lost the bet to Zheng Yuming, and second, he realized that he had no hope of restoring his country, and Wu Guo's pace of unifying the Great Qin was unstoppable.

Zhao Xuan's two male favourites, as Zheng Yuming predicted, became idols in the eyes of the public.The two thanked Zheng Yuming for his kindness, and took the stage names Xie Yu and Xie Ming.

Xie Yu and Xie Ming devoted their whole lives to opera stage plays, composed and performed hundreds of opera plays, cultivated countless disciples, and eventually became masters.When people in later generations talk about Wuqiang opera, they must mention Erxie.Er Xie accompanied each other and was single all his life. After his death, they were buried together in Mount Li of Zhaodi.

Ai Ji also got her wish. Zhao Xuan never married a regular wife, nor accepted her. Ai Ji became the only hostess of the Zhao family.Ai Ji has only one regret, she never gave birth again, and Zhao Jing is Zhao Xuan's only son.
