16. The Warring States Period
Meng and Yu had been fighting for many years and were ranked among the nine ministers. He served three generations of Qin kings. He saw Ying Zhuang performing etiquettes on weekdays. Instead, Ying Zhuang wanted to treat him more politely. However, this time he entered the hall, he gave a great worship ceremony. Ying Zhuang raised his eyebrows, but still stood up from the seat and helped Meng and Yulai up.
"The old general is the minister of the ancestor Wen Wang, so there is no need to be so bad." Ying Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Is the old general asking for something?"
Meng and Zhi said they didn't dare, but they still couldn't suppress their eyebrows and said a few words to Ying Zhuang. They didn't talk nonsense and said their intention to come to Ying Zhuang. After saying that, they wanted to bow again. Ying Zhuang quickly helped him up, but his eyebrows couldn't help but jump a few times.
That day he said he wanted to marry Yuan Yingxu and mentioned Timengwei, but he really had no intention of marrying her to Mengwei. She was a broken body and married the son of an important minister. Could he have nothing to do for himself? Such a thing happened later. How could he marry her to Mengwei with confidence?
Ying Zhuang tried to interrupt Meng Yu several times, but he failed. He wanted to say that he could change Meng Wei to another princess. Meng Yu talked about his grandson's longing for Princess Yuan Ying for more than five months. He wanted to say that the legitimate princess was the main marriage to another country. Meng Yu talked about the dispute today. Qin State was dormant and was at the right time. He wanted to say that there was no need to hurry to get married. Meng Yu talked about that rare in the past few months, and wanted to make up his grandson's marriage.
When Meng and left, Ying Zhuang's face turned dark.
Ji Ziyu watched for a while, spoke at the right time, with a kind face and a sincere tone: "The king, the four methods of farming that I have written to me, are truly complementary to each other, and they are indispensable..."
Ying Zhuang's face became darker. Without involving his own insistence, Ji Ziyu was indeed a good soulmate, but once it was related to the bill he formulated, he was like a different person, more stubborn than the old and old style of the years. Ying Zhuang had been in a stalemate with him for more than an hour. When he heard the truth of the four bills, he still agreed.
Ji Ziyu was satisfied, but he did not forget to appease Ying Zhuang, who was given a loss of face by him. He was really a person who was very good at getting along with others. He first explained the reasons for his persistence, and then praised Ying Zhuang for being good at accepting advice and being a wise monarch. No matter how big the Ying Zhuang was, it was extinguished. Instead, he admired him more and more. After Ji Ziyu left, Ying Zhuang's only troubles were Yuan Ying's marriage.
After that day, the government was busy, and he had never even been to the harem, let alone the cheap sister who was temporarily lucky. Although he did not have the intention of leaving her in the palace as a concubine, he had never thought of marrying her to a son of an important minister like Meng Wei, so he was naturally too lazy to appease anything. For him, without the constraints of blood, he was just lucky to have any woman in the world, but for Yuan Ying, it was obviously not the case.
Ying Zhuang pressed his temple and originally planned to ask Zhang Ping to bring the person, but when he said that, he still asked to prepare a chariot. He wanted to go to Shuyu Palace in person.
Yao Xia and Lian Qi have a close relationship. On weekdays, she either was in Lian Qi's palace or Lian Qi was in Shuyu Palace. Today, she used the excuse of resting and sending Lian Qi away. After asking the palace servant to leave, she cut her hair and dressed up in the mirror. She didn't change her clothes specifically, but was still Yuan Ying's favorite red.
[After today, the task should be considered complete.] Yao Xia said something without any beginning or end to v666. v666 was a little strange, but before it could ask, a notification came from outside.
When Yingzhuang entered the hall, he happened to see Yao Xia coming out of the inner hall. His expression was not as frightened as before. He stepped forward in a regular manner. The Yuban step on his waist did not make any noise. After a moment, he called Wang Shang.
Ying Zhuang suddenly had the illusion of coming to the harem and seeing his beloved concubine. However, before he could think deeply, this vague idea was suppressed by himself. He was so beautiful, but not as beautiful as a beauty. He changed his name and surname into the harem that most people in the palace had seen. The things he got were obviously not proportional to his efforts, not to mention that he had agreed to the Meng family.
Thinking of this, his eyes faded, but a gentler expression appeared on his face, and he said in a gentle voice: "I am here this time to tell you good news. The old general Meng entered the palace to propose marriage. I have decided on your marriage with Meng Wei. Now at the beginning of the moon, after the spring festival, I personally take charge of the marriage for my sister."
Yao Xia seemed a little surprised, but his eyes moved slightly, but he did not show too much resistance. He saluted Ying Zhuang, looking a little alienated.
Originally, when I said this, I just need to talk a few more words and I had nothing else to leave, but Ying Zhuang himself had a ghost in his heart, so he gave Zhang Ping a look. Zhang Ping understood and took all the palace people in Shuyu Palace out, and he was still guarding outside the hall like that day.
Shuyu Palace is the inner palace, and no one outside is guarding him. Ying Zhuang walked to Yao Xia, raised his hand and pinched her chin, making her look at him, and his tone became much colder, "The eyes are good."
Yao Xia's eyes drooped slightly, looking a little pitiful. She whispered: "Yuan Ying did not agree to General Meng..."
Ying Zhuang sneered and let go of her, "He also knew that he was already a polite question. You should do it or not, as long as I should."
Yao Xia frowned and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. Ying Zhuanglai didn't want to provoke a few words. He said: "It would be fine if Meng Wei didn't notice it after you get married. If you find out... you can't tell me what I do."
This was vague, but if she was really a girl who was worried about her, she would react very quickly, so Yao Xia bit her lips slightly, revealing a little scared.
Ying Zhuang was very satisfied with her fear, and his tone became gentle again, saying, "I am the king and the minister of power. He has no intention. I will naturally treat him fairly. If he is dissatisfied with me because of you, you should understand the consequences."
Yao Xia became more and more frightened. Ying Zhuang saw it and breathed a sigh of relief. His purpose of coming this time had already achieved. He was about to leave, but he turned his eyes and saw that there was no one in the inner hall. It was very similar to the situation in the hall that day. He had never been close to women for a whole month. He was in front of him, and his beauty was weak and could be bullied. His mind couldn't help but float.
His eyes fell on Yao Xia, and suddenly he saw a golden hairpin on her hair, which was obviously a girl's hairstyle, but from his perspective, it seemed to be tied into a married woman's hairstyle by a golden hairpin, which easily reminded people of the fact that she was about to marry into a wife.
This time, reason still gained the upper hand. Ying Zhuang stopped staying for more, called Zhang Ping, left Shuyu Palace, and got on the chariot.
When Ji Ziyu came out of the palace, it was already a little late, but he did not return to the house of Ying Zhuangzi, but instead turned around and headed towards Zhang Min's residence.
In the past, he was not close to Zhang Min. At that time, he had already had the ambition to enter Qin. Zhang Min was from Wei. Wei was strong and valued talents. He never thought that Zhang Min would enter Qin. He first came to Qin and lived a poor life. He was unwilling to look down and visit this former junior brother. Although he is not of similar status, he is getting closer.
Zhang Min's mood towards Ji Ziyu was probably similar to Ji Ziyu's attitude towards him. His position was not against him and his business direction was different. In this case, he was still willing to have an extra old friend in Qin. Both of them were smart people, so he didn't have to be a different kind of honesty like Zhang Min and Ji Ziyu's attitude towards Ying Zhuang.
Ji Ziyu mainly asked Zhang Min about the current situation of the Farming Act. At the beginning of the implementation of the bill, he could not be promoted significantly. He wanted to implement it on the land that had just been conquered by Qin. If even the refugees thought the Farming Act was good, it would be more convenient to implement it in Qin.
Zhang Min naturally said everything. After a while, Ji Ziyu got the news he wanted to know. Before he could drink a few sips of wine, he remembered what he had heard in the palace just now, so he treated it as a gossip and told Zhang Min about his military friend's upcoming marriage to the princess.
"I heard that it was the legitimate princess of the previous king. Last time I married Weicheng, my junior brother should have seen him. There will be gains when he loses. General Meng is also a rare heroic man." Ji Ziyu said, and suddenly saw Zhang Min change his face.
After a while, Zhang Min calmed down and gritted his teeth and said, "The princess has a unique vision, General Meng is indeed the best destination."
Ji Ziyu felt that Zhang Min's reaction was a bit too big, but he didn't know much about the love between men and women. He didn't know that Zhang Min was filled with a breath of vine. Thinking of the glorious princess he saw outside the hall that day, General Meng was very concerned about her, and thought that he was the one whom he wanted to marry. He sincerely exclaimed: "The famous general and beauty are indeed a perfect match."
