When Zhao's mother came to Xu Li's mansion, Mrs. Sikong hurried out to greet her. The two met when they were young. Mrs. Sikong always treated Zhao's mother as her sister. Therefore, when they met, they no longer implicitly and started to talk about the marriage between Sikong Yi and Zhao Kuo directly.

A wedding is not something that can be done simply. As long as it involves rituals, it seems to become troublesome, and marriage is even more so. It is two men and women who love each other and agree to spend their lives together. From when it starts, it has become a huge face project, which gradually spreads from the affairs of men and women to the affairs of their parents, families, families, and villagers.

The marriage ceremony is the six rituals, including Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, Nazheng, and welcome him. Of course, the marriage of common people is very simple and the least troublesome, not only because the common people are not worthy of possessing the ritual, but because the common people are the private property of the superiors for a long time, similar to the cattle and sheep in the family. It is good to have more lives. Do you also encourage cattle and sheep to hold a wedding?

Therefore, in many countries, there are a series of systems such as compulsory marriage for the common people, and remarriage. If you don’t get married, you will be punished. If you don’t get married, you will find a wife for you. If you don’t get married, you will not be allowed to keep your rituals after you die in battle. You must remarry immediately. Don’t have a cumbersome wedding. Get married directly. A few healthy children will be born to increase the number of soldiers in the country. If you encounter disabled children, don’t raise them. It’s better to just fall to death. Otherwise, such disabled people are not suitable for farming and fighting. What’s the use of coming?

Of course, countries are still different. In Zhao, weddings of common people are not prohibited. The more prominent a person is, the more complicated the wedding will be. For example, the first item is to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, but ordinary people only need to bring meat and give it to the woman. However, people of Zhao Kuo’s level must prepare about thirty gifts with symbolic auspicious meanings to give to the woman.

If King Zhao is married...well...then you may have to be more.

Because of this, it took a long time. It only took a few days for the common people to complete these etiquettes, but it took several months or even years for the nobles to take several weddings in Qi. I heard that the wedding in Qi was the most complicated. It took more than a year for the nobles to get married, and I don’t know whether it is true or false. However, Zhao Kuo is a little different here. First of all, it is a period of ritual collapse and music. There are not many nobles who pay attention to etiquette and law, not to mention that Zhao Kuo couldn’t wait to get Zhao Kuo married.

The same is true for Xu Li. Most of the same age as Sikong Yi have children at this moment, so of course they are also very anxious. So the two sides agreed to make every effort to reduce the cumbersome etiquette and get the two children married as soon as possible.

At this time, King Zhao was holding Zheng Anping's hand and held a banquet to entertain Zheng Anping. In the palace, the lights were bright, the dancers were dancing enthusiastically, the musicians played music, the ministers sat around, Lian Po was sitting in the top position, this time, he made great contributions and forced Zheng Anping to surrender. King Zhao was very happy. In that night, King Zhao and Lian Po had said more than what they had said in the past few months.

Everyone was praising General Lian Po's merits. Lian Po raised his head high. Lian Po was arrogant and liked to show off his merits. But such a person would not make others feel disgusted, and no one despised his behavior. A real person like him was obviously much more cute than his colleagues around him with a smile on his face. Zheng Anping knelt carefully, looked at King Zhao with gratitude, and often looked at everyone around him seriously.

When King Zhao saw him always looking around, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zheng Anping hurriedly said, "I heard that there are countless talented people in Zhao and are full of talents. Today, when I saw the wise men in the palace, I realized that others did not exaggerate. Zhao State is like a river, and the wise men swam in the river like carp. I am willing to make friends with them, but I am worried because I do not have that qualification." King Zhao stroked his beard and laughed out loud.

Zheng Anping quickly understood the character of King Zhao, and even found the talented people from Zhao to praise him. From Xinling Jun to Ma Fujun, he praised Lian Po, Tian Dan, Lejian, Tian Yue, and even the young Sima Shang, he did not let go. King Zhao laughed loudly. The happier Zheng Anping looked, and the more he looked at Zheng Anping, the more he was praised, the very happy the ministers who were praised were very happy. Everyone present didn't even dare to say that, and only the censor Zhao Hui, who looked a little depressed.

He usually does what he praises King Zhao like this on weekdays, but he usually does it. Now that he sees his own affairs being done by Zheng Anping, he naturally cannot be happy. There are still several important officials who have not arrived. Yu Qing, Dong Chengzi, and Xu Li did not come to the banquet, and they are still busy with their own affairs. The banquet continued, and King Zhao stood up staggeringly and looked at Lian Po.

He said seriously: "General Lian Po once again defeated the powerful enemy for me! Such a merit is worthy of reward! What do you think?" Hearing King Zhao's words, the banquet suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Lian Po. Lian Po was trembling all over, and he was indescribable excitement. He grinned, and the time he had dreamed of seemed to have come.

A long time ago, he made an agreement with Lin Xiangru that whoever becomes the monarch first would have to toast him.

In the past, it was not easy to obtain a title, only those royal families had such qualifications. Now that King Zhao ascended the throne, more titles of Zhao's kings suddenly became more and more titles. He exchanged the city for Tian Dan, and King Zhao directly named him Duping Jun. Le Yi came without any contribution. He just wanted to see the kings and Zhao Kuo's Ma Fujun. Wei Wuji was directly rewarded as a fief. Because the King of Wei did not take back Xinling, he did not have another title. However, he had a fief of Zhao, which was already a fief of Zhao.

It was Lejian who came to serve recently. After returning from South Korea, King Zhao inherited his position as a pretext for his outstanding contributions to rescue neighboring countries.

Lian Po was not greedy for status. What he cared about was just to prove that he was not inferior to Tian Dan, Le Yi, Zhao Kuo, and Wei Wuji! He was able to fight and govern the country! If King Zhao could give them such respect, he should give the same courtesy as himself. Lian Po so straightened up and looked at everyone proudly. King Zhao smiled and said, "I want to reward General Lian Po for his fief and give him a letter to Pingjun. What's going on?"

When King Zhao asked this, everyone catered to him. Zhao Hui said, "It is OK to receive such a reward for General Lian Po's contribution."

After being recognized by everyone, King Zhao made a decision. Lian Po, no, Xin Pingjun, his face turned red at this moment. The feeling of leaning over to King Zhao, and his ambitions were realized was really exciting. The only regret was that my old friend had never seen this scene with his own eyes. Seeing that he became the Fengjun, Lian Po never thought that the day of Fengjun came so quickly that he had not thought about what to say.

Should I thank Shangjun for his reward or express my ambition to continue fighting for Zhao State in the future?

Lian Po was conceiving words.

Zheng Anping said just rightly, "I have seen General Lian Po's bravery. He is like a tiger on the battlefield, and no one can stop him. Now he has received a reward like the Shangjun. This is the wise minister who meets the wise master..." King Zhao laughed again, his expression became solemn again, and he looked at Zheng Anping. He said seriously, "Even if General Zheng Anping understands his fault, gives up his wealth in Qin and comes to serve, I want to give him Wuyang and confer Wuyang Jun. What do you think?"

"Ah?" Zheng Anping was stunned.

Fare Lord??

Not only Zheng Anping, but everyone present was a little confused, including Lian Po, who was thinking about words. Everyone looked at Zheng Anping in surprise, but no one spoke to dissuade him. Zheng Anping widened his eyes and looked at King Zhao. King Zhao didn't seem to be joking. Zheng Anping hurriedly said, "Shangjun, I am just a defeated general, and I have not made any contributions. I am not worthy of your reward."

"Hahaha, if it weren't for your righteousness... General Lian Po might not be able to quell the battle so quickly, so please don't refuse." King Zhao said, and let Zheng Anping sit down again and drank with everyone again. Zheng Anping was restless. Facing King Zhao's enthusiasm, he only expressed his touch. Among the crowd, General Lian Po was quietly drinking wine, one cup after another.

For some reason, the excitement of the throne and the relief of realizing the ambitions were gone at this moment, and even the wine became a little bitter.

The banquet continued, and King Zhao asked to slaughter the livestock, saying that he wanted to entertain his heroes. General Lian Po left the palace. He walked out of the hall alone and staggered out of the hall. In the hall, the ministers were still caring. The lights in the hall shone on General Lian Po's back, illuminating his back, but his face was hidden in the darkness. He left the banquet like this. King Zhao probably did not notice that the heroes he wanted to reward had left here.

Standing in a corner outside the hall, General Lian Po, who was drunk and hazy, untied his clothes facing the wall of the hall, and the water column rushed down to solve his own affairs. General Lian Po then put on his clothes with a smile and staggered out of the palace.

At the end of the banquet, Zheng Anping worshiped King Zhao again. He was almost excited to cry. Thanks to King Zhao's kindness, he left the banquet and returned to the courtyard that King Zhao gave him. This courtyard was not far from the palace. Zheng Anping warmly said goodbye to the ministers and walked into the courtyard. He suddenly woke up and no longer had the drunkenness he had just now. He frowned, his eyes full of worry.

The guests hurried forward and asked about the matter in the palace. Zheng Anping said, "I will be named Wuyang Jun."

The guests were overjoyed. These guests followed him all the way from Wei to Qin and Zhao, and they were trustworthy. They called Wuyang Jun and said they wanted to celebrate. However, Zheng Anping sighed and looked around, then took everyone back to the inner room. Zheng Anping sat down, looked at everyone, and said seriously: "The State of Zhao is not a suitable place for us to live."

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't rush to speak.

Zheng Anping continued: "I am unknown in Wei. Because of Yinghou, I was appreciated in Qin, but I often do more than I can do. But even so, Qin can be regarded as a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. In Zhao, King Zhao did not reward Lian Po, who made great contributions, but was particularly enthusiastic about me. The ministers knew that such a thing was wrong, but no one came to dissuade him. Such a country would definitely perish."

The guests thoughtfully and asked again, "What should we do?"

"You must act cautiously, don't cause trouble, and try not to participate in anything..." Zheng Anping said seriously, and everyone just nodded. Soon, everyone left the inner room. Zheng Anping sat alone in the inner room, shaking his head. He was just an ordinary person who wanted to live a good life, a life-threatening ordinary person. He did not have the strategy of Yinghou, and would not lead troops to fight like Bai Qi.

In fact, he had long thought of leaving Qin, because in Qin, he would lead troops to fight no matter what official position he held. This was a good thing for others to be promoted, but for Zheng Anping, who was jealous of his life, it was not. Unless he entered the palace and became an important minister in governing the country, he would not have to go to war... However, Zheng Anping himself did not have such great talent. This time he fought with Lian Po. As early as when Lian Po was defeated and retreated, he knew that this was Lian Po's plan. He saw that, but he could not stop it.

Everyone was thinking about getting military merits. He had no prestige and ability, and could not control the Qin people who were as good as tigers and wolves. Due to Qin rules, no one dared to force him. However, he came to him every day and asked to go to war without giving him the opportunity to thank guests. Military merits can only be a slaughter, and Zheng Anping could only watch himself in despair and walked into the ambush.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the lonely back again, General Lian Po who left alone.

Suddenly, he was a little angry, perhaps regretful, Zhao Guo many heroes... Unfortunately, there was a lack of a wise master who could reuse them. He just gathered the wise men around him, but did not know how to appoint them. What is the difference between holding gold and silk and not using them to buy food and starving to death?

At this moment, the angry Yu Qing sat in front of King Zhao.

Yu Qing widened his eyes, his eyes full of anger. This was not the first time he treated King Zhao like this. King Zhao was still a little drunk and rubbed his forehead, dizzy. Yu Qing asked loudly: "I heard that I have named Zheng Anping as a vassal. Why is this because of this?!"

"Zheng Anping was the first minister to betray Qin and submit to Zhao. I highly value him, just like I highly value the joy, so that the world can know that Zhao attaches importance to talented people, so that more people will come to submit to Zhao." King Zhao said seriously.

"Shangjun... You despise General Lian Po's ministers who are very powerful, but value the villains who surrendered in front of the battle like Zheng Anping. Do you want to attract more villains like this? Such people drive chariots and fight for you. When they encounter enemies like General Lian Po, they will not put down their weapons to surrender again?"

"Won't!"
