In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

After sending Tian Xiang into the government office, Shen Zili left and returned to General Zuo's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he found that the messenger sent by Yang Hu had been waiting in his guest house for a long time.

He took the sealed bamboo tube in his hand, opened the seal, and took out the bamboo slips inside. After reading, Shen Zili thought about it, then turned around and lifted his clothes, sat behind the table, and wrote on a new bamboo slip. next line:

"I will try my best to make it happen."

Then put this bamboo slip into the letter box and seal it with wax paint, and said to the messenger from the state of Jin: "Tell the ruler, I will do my best at this time."

The messenger took the letter box, replied "No", and said: "Doctor Yang Hu asked the villain to tell the master that the ruling has been arranged. After this matter, whether it is the court of the Jin Dynasty or the retainers of the Zhao family, everyone will listen to it." It's up to you to choose."

Shen Zili smiled, and said: "For me, tell Dr. Yang Hu to thank you for governing on your behalf."

The messenger said yes, and then packed his bags and left without much delay.

Not long after the messenger left, the excited Tian Xu rubbed his hands and walked quickly into the room. Shen Zili didn't lift his head, and said, "Have you been sent to the doctor's mansion?"

Tian Xu smiled and said: "I sent it in, and the doctor was very satisfied. He promised to speak well for me in front of the government in the future."

After saying that, Tian Xu walked up and down the room very excitedly, and said: "I heard that Tian Shu was detained at home by his father?"

Shen Zili poured himself a glass of wine, held the cup of wine and said, "Although Tian Zhi is soft, he is not stupid. The current situation in the court is so precarious. He will definitely try his best to save his son."

Tian Xu thought for a while, then said, "Where's Tian Xiang?"

Shen Zili took a sip of his wine and said, "We haven't heard any news from our ears and eyes in the ruling government, and there has never been any change."

Tian Xu's face was flushed with joy, and he said again and again: "Okay, okay, okay", but then he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Where is the Grand Master's Mansion?"

Shen Zili said: "The witch doctor has reported it, but the old grand master is still so sick that he doesn't know what to do, and he hasn't woken up for several days."

Tian Xu laughed, and said: "Haha, if it wasn't for the sudden illness of the old grand master, I'm afraid I can't do my best today. Haha, I'm well! I'm well!"

Shen Zili also laughed, and said: "If you talk about the foundation of the temple and the people, Xia Yu, who looks like a high-ranking outsider, is not in the slightest. The only thing we fear is the old grand master. The old grand master's disease, It’s truly a godsend.”

Speaking of this, Shen Zili paused slightly, and continued: "At this time, we only have one gap that needs to be filled."

Hearing this, Tian Xu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What's missing?"

Shen Zili said, "Tian Xiang."

Tian Xu was puzzled, and said: "The overall situation is settled, what can this kid do?"

Shen Zili said: "After all, Tian Xiang is the eldest son of the ruler. Besides, we were able to win Xia Yu in one fell swoop this time. One is that the ruler is furious at the fact that Xia Yu kidnapped Tian Xiang out of the city without authorization and Tian Xiang was captured by the Yan army." The second is that Tian Biao fell ill, and the ruling was a bit panicked for a while, and many things were not considered carefully. If the ruling anger subsides a little, and Tian Xiang is pleading for mercy , Maybe the overall situation has changed and it is unknown.”

When Tian Xu heard this, he trembled. What he did at the gate of the city today had completely offended Xia Yu and the soldiers brought out by Xia Yu. If things turned around, he would definitely die. land.

Seeing Tian Xu's face turned pale, Shen Zili knew that the heat was enough, so he comforted him in a rather gentle tone: "General Zuo don't need to worry, I think there is a plan, and it will be safe."

Tian Xu asked anxiously, "What plan?"

Shen Zili said: "It seems that Tian Xiang hasn't asked for the assistant in the room yet."

Tian Xu nodded and said: "Ah Xiang is the eldest son of the ruler, so his wife must be carefully selected. Now there is no family in Qi State that is comparable to the Tian family, and the ruler does not want to choose from the common people and marry outsiders. Since the interests of the state are involved, it is quite difficult to choose a candidate, and the ruler had to set up a few concubines for Ah Xiang, but the seat of the chief assistant is still vacant."

Shen Zili said: "I do have someone worthy of this position, General Zuo can recommend it to the ruling."

Tian Xuqi asked: "Who is that? Is it worthy?"

Shen Zili smiled and said, "Is the Zhao family of the state of Jin comparable to the Tian family?"

Tian Xu was startled, and said: "Mister Zhao!? This... this..." No wonder Tian Xu was surprised. The Jin State was still attacking the Tian family in the name of "killing rebellious officials and thieves" almost half a year ago. In a blink of an eye, it was Zhao The fact that Mrs. Tian wants to join forces with Mrs. Tian will frighten anyone who hears it.

Shen Zili had already expected Tian Xu's reaction at this time, and said: "Don't be surprised, General Zuo, if Tian and Zhao are in trouble together, in my opinion, it will be of great benefit to General Zuo: First, the general should I have heard that the old grand master once mentioned to the ruling party that he wanted to establish Xia Yu as Tian Xiang's assistant, so that Xia Yu could be appointed as Tian's own person, so that he could be appointed with confidence. It can block Xia Yu's retreat, making it impossible for him to stand up again; secondly, we defeated Xia Yu today, but Tian Xiang is still there, and Tian Xiang has always been at odds with you, General, I'm afraid after today , Tian Xiang and the general have a deeper grudge. Although the general is awakened in power, he will eventually grow old. If Tian Xiang is in charge of the state affairs of Qi in the future, then if the assistant in the house next to him can always speak well for the general, it will be of great help to the general in his future career. It is beneficial, if Tian Xiang is unable to take charge of state affairs in the end, this chief assistant can also be the eyes and ears of the general when he is old in power."

This long paragraph of words is in order, but Tian Xu is still a little uncertain, said: "This... can this be done? The Zhao family is strong and prosperous at this time, Zhao Zhifu is in power, and Jin is the current world Overlord, will the Zhao clan fit the children of the family? How will the people of the world see it? Besides, even if the Zhao clan really agrees, will they send only one offspring? If so, my Tian clan can’t use Zhao The son of Pianzhi of the family is the chief assistant of Qing Si. Taking ten thousand steps back, if the Zhao family really sent the concubine of Zhengzhi to come here, how can this disciple of the Zhao family stand by my side?"

"Zhou Li" has a stipulation: "The eldest son inherits, the second son is divided, and the concubine does not follow." During the Shang Dynasty, the big families wantonly plundered the children of the common people and the weak families. room.

But in the final analysis, Tian Xu still cares about his own interests, thank you, more than anything else, he is more worried about whether this Zhao family's disciple will be beneficial to him in the future if he is Tian Xu's main room assistant.

Shen Zili knew Tian Xuzi very well, and said with a smile: "General Zuo, there is no need to bother. Doctor Yang Hu sent a private letter a few days ago. .1' The concubine does not humiliate Tian Xiang, with your friendship with Dr. Yanghu, general, are you afraid that Zhao's children will not stand by your side when they become Tian Xiang's wife in the future?" Speaking of this, Shen Zili paused for a moment, and then said, "The entire state of Jin has always hated Xia Yu's fraudulent attack on Linqiu. It is inevitable that the two countries will win or lose each other in the war, but Xia Yu is really despicable. Sneak attack, victory is not military. Everyone in the state of Jin knows that the general is a loyal, benevolent and righteous person, with the style of a modest gentleman, so he has his heart for the general, and hopes that the general will have a smooth journey in the temple of Qi."
