Chapter 46 I am happy with her There was a solemn silence in the tent.
Li Wenzhou didn't dare to answer, nor did he dare to leave.
After Jiang He left, Zhao Zheng's thoughts became increasingly he, who has been by his side for more than ten years, now has to do things with a high heart.
The soup on the table gradually became cold, but the originally delicious food had a meaty and sweet smell, which made people lose their appetite.
Zhao Zheng's eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he sneered and said: "The King of Wei will just put Jiang Anqing under house arrest. He is so despicable and shameless. I never thought of it."
At this point, Li Wenzhou can read the contents of the secret message.
He took a few steps closer to pick up the secret letter, opened it and read only one line, then closed his eyes as if being pricked by needles.
"Pitiful……"
Pity the queen.
Li Wenzhou kept silent and cut off the two words that could not be mentioned.
Zhao Zheng raised his eyes slightly, with an expression that was a little pity and a little ridiculed: "Who is more pitiable, we still don't know."
That woman is not a tolerant person, so he can just avoid her. If he deliberately offends her, she will take revenge before the next night.
The King of Wei thought that Jiang He was just an orphan who was protected by the Qi King's royal family, so he dared to treat Jiang Anqing like that.
Stupid and unaware.
Damn it.
After the food was removed, Zhao Zheng spread out a piece of silk for writing brush in my hand is full of ink, but I don't seem to know how to put it down.
He never wrote an actual letter.
When he left his hometown when he was a child, he would write a letter every other month to report on the progress of his I had something in my mind, so I carefully wrote it in a letter and waited for my father’s guidance.
If it is a letter, it is better to say it is a memorial.
Now when I write a letter to Jiang He, I don’t even know how to address him.
And according to Jiang He's temperament, the first thing he did after arriving in Wei was to rescue his Zhengruo mentioned Jiang Anqing's situation in the letter, but when the letter arrived two days later, it was already too late.
After the ink dried, I grinded it again, grinded it and dried it again. I don’t know how long it took, but someone outside the tent asked to see him.
Li Tonggu came forward.
Li Tonggu once studied politics with Xunzi and was recommended as an official by Wei Zhao Zheng succeeded to the throne, he made him the chief official. After Wei Zhangde was convicted and imprisoned, Zhao Zheng took charge of the government and promoted him to the rank of guest minister.
It is eighty miles from the capital to Jingshui. It must be a big deal to trek to see him.
Li Tonggu is in his thirties, not tall, with yellowish skin, bright eyes, a high nose bridge and a narrow chin, and a thick walked into the camp, took up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed upright and saluted.
"Your Majesty, the case of Wei Zhangde has been judged. There is conclusive evidence regarding his poisoning and bewitching and the smuggling doctor who ordered the army to intimidate the Chang'an Lord with crossbows. I ask your Majesty's decree on how to punish him."
"What did the Queen Mother say?" Zhao Zheng looked slightly cold.
The Queen Mother met Wei Zhangde when she was young, and they and the late king also supported each other and achieved great the Queen Mother what she meant was both filial piety and sincerity.
Li Tonggu said solemnly: "What the Queen Mother means is that the Wei family's crime is unpardonable. If there are a family of 14, those over the age of 14 will be cut in half, and those under the age of [-] will be moved to the border."
According to the laws of the Yong Kingdom, the Yi tribe destroyed the three Wei clans.
Those who are over 14 years old are cut off in half, and those who are under 14 years old are moved to the border. It is considered to miss old friendships.
Zhao Zheng was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Wei Xiangguo has done meritorious service to this dynasty. He will be given poisonous wine and those who participated in the plot will be hanged. The rest who are over 14 years old will come to Jingshui to build canals."
Li Tonggu and Li Wenzhou both raised their heads and looked at Zhao Zheng.
Death by drinking poisonous wine can be regarded as giving Wei Zhangde dignity; hanging can avoid the separation of the body and head after being cut in half; being a disciple refers to forced labor, which is equivalent to exempting him from the death penalty.
Unexpectedly, the monarch could forgive the Wei clan so much.
He was not like this before.
Li Wenzhou still remembers how Zhao Zheng purged those old ministers who relied on their elders and betrayed them when he first succeeded to the throne.
Beheadings, chariots torn apart, and owl heads displayed to the public, the whole capital was filled with blood.
Now, in just half a year, His Majesty has become so kind.
What changes a cold-blooded and unfeeling person? Li Tonggu stood up in compliance with the order, said goodbye and soon as he retreated to the camp, Zhao Zheng suddenly asked: "Has the Qi delegation left the capital?"
"Not yet," Li Tonggu lowered his head and said, "I said that I was discussing with Protagonist Jiang Ben which princess to send over."
After the Jiuwei Mountain Ceremony, Zhao Zheng asked Jiang Bi to choose another sister to send over in front of the envoys from the Six Nations.
The envoys from other countries left one after another after coming down the the people of Qi were thick-skinned and continued to stay in the embassy in the is getting fatter and fatter than ever before, and they don't do much except Tonggu shook his head in his heart.
It seems that as long as it has something to do with Qi State, it will be particularly unlucky.
"Drive them away," Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice, "Leave the matter of marriage to Jiang Ben himself."
Li Tonggu looked surprised and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, do you mean to let Jiang Ben go back?"
Now that His Majesty is in charge of the affairs, he no longer discusses many matters with his ministers, but simply orders them to do them the matter of releasing the protons is not a small matter after all. In the past, it would have been debated for several days in the DPRK before reaching a conclusion.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty issued the order himself.
"Yes," Zhao Zheng seemed a little impatient and said coldly, "Drive them all away."
Li Tonggu accepted the promise and stepped back. Zhao Zheng put the dried brush into the brush, washed it, and dipped it in ink again. As if he had finally found something to write, he started writing with great interest.
"Jiang He, I have put my proton back together."
In the palace where the Queen Mother of Wei lived, there was constant laughter and laughter.
All Wei Ji's favorite foods were served, singing and dancing were added to the fun, and birthday gifts were placed all over the table.
The Empress Dowager of the State of Wei was more than fifty years old. She was wearing a solemn dark blue dress, with beads hanging from her ears, and a horizontal hairpin on the left and has a steady appearance and kind eyes.
After confirming again and again that Wei Ji was safe and sound, she wiped away her tears and said sadly: "The Ai family is almost sixty years old. I really can't bear to hear about the disasters of beatings and killings, and I can't bear to see you acting recklessly without caring about your life. What is the reason for this!" "
Wei Ji smiled and served tea to the Queen Mother, and said respectfully and obediently: "I have already told you about the assassination, and the deceased disciples have also been compensated. As for the matter of blindness, isn't it already better for me, let the mother and queen do this?" It's really unfilial to miss you."
"Don't fool the Ai family!" The Queen Mother raised her hand and nodded Wei Ji's forehead, feigning anger: "Three years ago, you sent Jiang family back to Qi State privately, which made your brother Wang very angry. Later, in order to save Jiang Anqing's life, you , you did not hesitate to block the knife with your body, and almost died. Now this time, you openly provoke Zhao Zheng on the altar of Yong Kingdom. You, you fool who was deceived by beauty!"
She hit Wei Ji on the shoulder, but fearing that the blow was too heavy and he couldn't bear it, she turned her fist into a palm and slapped him hard.
Wei Ji begged for mercy after suffering the pain, moved his knees and knelt down next to the Queen Mother, and massaged her arms.
The Queen Mother gradually lost her temper and sighed: "I heard that Qi State has granted Jiang the title of Princess Anguo, but she was abandoned by King Yong and had no choice but to follow you back?"
Wei Ji stopped and said seriously: "Mother, she is indeed the princess of Anguo now, but she and the king of Yongguo are fake, and they are not desperate."
With him here, how could Jiang He be cornered?
The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at Wei Ji worriedly.
"Ai Jia wants to ask you, if she wants to take away her father, will your brother Wang be willing to do so?"
"We can't tolerate his refusal," Wei Ji said with a smile and determination, "Now that this matter has been revealed to the world, Brother Wang can no longer imprison Jiang Anqing."
"You are forcing your brother Wang to submit!" the Queen Mother said with a frown.
Originally, no one knew that Jiang Anqing was under house arrest in Wei State, but now the news has been spread everywhere with the envoys from the six countries returning to various countries.
Let's not talk about other countries coveting Wei's military secrets that have not yet been obtained. How to explain to Qi is a matter that makes everyone in the court anxious.
Wei Ji took action under the hood and seemed to have ignored his brotherly relationship with the King of Wei.
"You should pay more attention to His Majesty." After a long time, the Queen Mother comforted him, "He is your brother after all. He has loved and protected you since you were a child. The first thing he did after he succeeded to the throne was to seize such a good fiefdom as Xinling. Here it is. You..."
Wei Ji allowed the Queen Mother to scold her and only gently rubbed the loose bones of her shoulders.
"Ji'er," the Queen Mother finally asked seriously, "do you want to marry Princess Jiang of Anguo to solve the current troubles?"
Indeed, if you marry Jiang He, you can turn conflicts into friendship.
The state of Wei is also equivalent to a marriage with the state of Qi.
Wei Ji had thousands of followers who were supported by people, and they responded to every call among the seven kingdoms. It is very likely that Qi will accept this marriage.
When the Queen Mother thought of this, the sorrow between her brows was somewhat relieved.
"Mother," Wei Ji stood up and walked to the Queen Mother, knelt down and said, "My son really wants to marry Princess Jiang of Anguo, but he doesn't want to solve the problem."
"That's because you were deceived by beauty!" The Queen Mother pursed her lips and smiled, showing some naughtiness that did not match her age.
Wei Ji solemnly said: "Mother, my children and ministers are happy with her and nothing else."
Do you like her? Qingqing Zijin, the kind of joy that lingers in my heart?
The kind of joy that shines upon the peach blossoms?
The kind of joy that you can't dream of, and you can't sleep without thinking about it? The Queen Mother's brows gradually widened, she gently raised her hand to signal Wei Ji to stand up, and said lovingly: "Okay, for your own sake and for the sake of the country, this marriage is settled."
