Zhi Xuan

The army returned triumphantly, and the city of Beidu was filled with jubilation.

A banquet was held in the monarch's mansion, and the Marquis of Bei'an rewarded the meritorious soldiers.The clan feasted on grand events together, collected food, gold and silk and donated them to the soldiers, and the soldiers who made great achievements were also rewarded, and the lintel of the family was changed.

During the banquet, the Marquis of Bei'an arranged several sacrificial offerings. One was to celebrate the victory of the national war, and to tell the ancestors of the past dynasties;

According to the clan practice, after the son Haobie came out, he should take Zhao as his clan.In the future, he will be in charge of Nanyou Country, and he can use the country as his clan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Hao abandoned the You clan, and even more intentionally changed Nanyou Country to Zhao Country.When he returned to Nandu City and subdued the Nanyou clan, he wrote a letter to the capital city to settle the matter.

The banquet was at its climax, and when the wine was hot, in front of Dr. Qing, Zhao Hao didn't speak too bluntly, and just exposed it in a few words.

The Marquis of Bei'an looked at Shi Zixuan, who helplessly spread his hands, expressing that Zhao Hao's mind had been made up, and no one else could comment on it, even if he was a father, son and brother.What's more, Zhao Hao is now the king, his status is higher than him, he is on an equal footing with his father, it is fine to raise opinions with him, it is not a good idea to intervene rashly.

The blood relationship will not change, so we should still pay attention to our words and deeds.

Some troubles can be avoided if they can be avoided. It is best not to fool people and plant hidden dangers for the future.

Zhao Hao has a heavy army in his hands, and the Nanyou clan is not to be feared.

However, Nanyou is one of the four major vassal states, and the king's successor, Wang Mu, guards one side. Even if the country loses in the war, it will not become a vassal state.In this way, Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Ziyuan must avoid suspicion.Some things can be understood in the heart, it is best not to announce them in front of others.It really can't be ignored, and the father and son should close the door and discuss again.

Seeing the performance of Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Zizhen, the officials of Qing contacted what Zhao Hao said, and they felt more or less concerned.But the people present are all smart people, they know what to say and what not to say, and they will never easily cross the line and cause trouble for the upper body.

Zhao Hao inherits the position of monarch and must resign from the position of minister.As far as the Bei'an Guo clan is concerned, instead of paying attention to whether Nanyou Country has changed its name, it is better to contact relatives and friends to try to get the vacant position.

The clans have their own thoughts, but they don't show it on the surface, and they have a lot of thoughts.Pushing glasses and changing glasses at the banquet, it seems that they are in harmony, but in fact they know everything well.

The banquet lasted until late at night before the clans dispersed one after another.

When they left the Monarch's Mansion, the Qing doctors were unsteady on their feet and very drunk.After boarding the bullock cart, the door was closed, and the hazy eyes suddenly became clear.He still smelled of alcohol, but his mind was exceptionally sober.

"Go home quickly."

"promise."

The driver waved the reins, and the ox carts drove out one after another.

The guards of each family lit torches, and two fire dragons snaked out on the long street.

The light of the fire reflected the light of the stars, and the whole long street was as bright as day.Accompanied by the sound of hoofbeats and the rolling of the wheels, many people will toss and turn without sleep all night.

In the Monarch's Mansion, the servants and maidservants were busy removing the dinner plates, removing the wooden tables, and cleaning the hall.

The smell of food remained in the air, mixed with a strong smell of alcohol, and mixed into a strange smell.Not bad, but not a great experience either.

Bei'an Hou and his son moved to the back hall, and the servants brought warm cloth towels for the three of them to wipe their faces and hands.

After a while, the maid brought sweet soup, which can not only relieve the hangover but also warm the stomach.

The sweet soup was finished, the maid took away the empty bowl, all the servants withdrew, the door of the palace was closed, and there were only three people left in the room, father and son.

A half-person-high bronze lamp stood against the wall, with a pipe hidden in the lamp body. After being lit for a long time, there was no smoke in the room, only the bright lights.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Shi Zizhen was the first to speak, and reported the progress of the national war to Bei'anhou.Although a battle report was sent back, many details could not be written down, could not be written down, and could only be dictated face to face.

When Shi Zizhen was summing up, Zhao Hao didn't speak easily, and he would only add a few words when asked by the Marquis of Bei'an.Sentences to the point, are the key.

The Marquis of Bei'an cared most about the spoils.

According to the previous plan, after the destruction of Nanyou Kingdom, whales would devour its land.Unexpectedly, the god Nanyouhou made a fortune and took the position of Zhao Hao, ending the war ahead of schedule.

The Marquis of Bei'an wanted grain and land, but he couldn't take it from his son.

This brings up a question: how to solve the loot.

Unless the king of the people orders the princes of the world to fight together, very few princes will be completely annihilated in the war.

There are basically two situations in the war between the vassal states. The winner gets the land, city, population and food, and the loser either signs an alliance like Dongliang, or becomes a vassal state of the winner. reserve.

The situation in Nanyou Country is really special, so it can't be generalized.Before the army returned, the Marquis of Bei'an called a group of ministers to discuss together, but the discussion failed to reach a result.

The one who inherits the title is Zhao Hao, the biological son of the Marquis of Bei'an, and the biological brother of Shi Zizhen.The blood of father and son is thicker than water, and the relationship between brothers is also very good.It is obviously inappropriate to apply the old rules, and if you want to use the new law, you can't come up with a very good charter.

This kind of situation is very difficult to deal with. If someone takes advantage of the loopholes if you are not careful, and let out rumors to spread rumors wantonly, good things will turn into bad things.

The Marquis of Bei'an is by no means unfounded.

News from Zhongdu City kept coming, allowing him to see the power of rumors.

People's words are terrible, if someone takes the opportunity to make a big fuss and wantonly provoke the relationship between father and son and brother, there will be no problems in the short term, but in the long run, it is difficult to guarantee that suspicion will not arise in the heart, causing cracks in the relationship between each other.

The Marquis of Bei'an would not be happy to see such a situation, and the same goes for Shi Zizhen and Zhao Hao.

However, real problems cannot be ignored.

The national war consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and it is impossible to give up the spoils of war.The abundant grain must be obtained, which requires Zhao Hao to make concessions.If Zhao Hao didn't nod his head, he might not be able to explain to the domestic clan.

Marquis of Bei'an furrowed his brows deeply, and glanced at his two sons, not wanting to cause misunderstanding, so naturally he would not hide the key point of the matter, so he simply told the whole story.The father and son used their brains together, brainstorming, hoping to come up with a solution.

What puzzled him was that both sons behaved strangely in the face of his question.Especially the eldest son, who seemed to have something to say but didn't know where to start, opened and closed his mouth several times, his expression was indescribable.

The Marquis of Bei'an couldn't understand Shi Zizhen's performance, so he ordered him to speak quickly, don't make himself feel itchy with such a strange look, and suddenly want to beat his son.

"Father, the matter is like this..." Shi Zixuan glanced at Zhao Hao, seeing that he had no intention of obstructing him, he said on the spot the twenty carts of gifts from Marquis Xi Yuan, and focused on the two carts of grain.

"The Marquis of Xiyuan has a farm in his hands, and he is good at planting. He has bred high-yielding millet and wheat, which is suitable for planting in the north."

The son of the prince spoke convincingly, using grain seeds as an introduction, saying that although rice in the south is good, it is not possible to sow it in a large area in the north.Unsuitable climate and land is one of them. Millet has been the staple food in the country for a long time, and the people of the country may not be willing to suddenly order the planting of new grains.

Marquis of Bei'an is certainly strong, but he cannot ignore the rules.Forcing the order, in case public anger is aroused, it is difficult to guarantee that the old things of Yongguo will not be staged given the toughness of the people in Bei'an.

"Father, you need to be very careful about this matter."

Shi Zizhen's words were not unreasonable, even though they were exaggerated, they also aroused Bei Anhou's vigilance.

"Father, you can follow the example of Marquis Xiyuan in issuing an order to call for wise men from all over the world. Give great rewards to those who know about farming and urge them to improve grain and farm tools."

After discussing with Zhao Hao, Shi Ziyu thought this was the best solution.

The decision to destroy the country at the beginning was for food.

Shi Ziyan went south in person, saw the local planting environment, and immediately realized that Bei'an was not suitable for growing rice, and it was useless to transport the seeds back.Instead of wasting effort, it is better to find another way, follow the example of Xi Yuanhou to improve millet and wheat seeds, and at the same time try to improve farm tools and use composting to promote high yields.

In short, Zhixuan opened up a path and proved to be very effective. Bei'an followed it and avoided many detours.

There are also ways to resolve the dissatisfaction of the clans.

Previously, the relationship between Bei'an Kingdom and Nanyou Kingdom was not harmonious, and the trade route was almost cut off.The situation is different now, Zhao Hao has become the king, it is easy to clean up the southern capital and reopen the trade routes.

If you want to get rice, you don't need to grow it yourself, you can buy it through trade routes.

No matter how large the caravan is, the goods to be transported are limited after all, and many of them are still sold with one hammer.Switching between countries, as long as trust is achieved, maintaining long-term trade is not a problem.

"What does father think?" Shi Zixuan asked.

The Marquis of Bei'an fell into silence, very moved by Shi Ziyuan's proposal, but he didn't nod immediately.

"Father, learning the method of Marquis Xiyuan should be a great gift." Zhao Hao said suddenly, his eyes swept over Shi Zixuan, who was not surprised and nodded slightly to him.

The two brothers had discussed it long ago and cooperated with each other in order to persuade the Marquis of Bei'an and at the same time not let Zhi Xuan suffer.

Marquis of Bei'an is in his prime, his mind and strength are at their peak.Turning his mind around, he guessed the intention of the two sons.

Looking at Shi Zizhen and Gong Zihao, his mood is very complicated.

The second son is married to Marquis Xiyuan, so it doesn't hurt to put himself in his shoes.As far as the clan is concerned, this approach is correct.

What is the eldest son doing?

Joining forces with your brother to set up a trap for your own father, does this mean that you really want to be beaten? !

The more Marquis Bei'an thought about it, the more angry he was, glaring at his two sons, especially Shizi Yan, he was burning with anger, his fists were clenched, and he really wanted to pick him up, so that this unfilial son could recall his childhood.

Seeing his father's unkindness, Shi Ziyu hastily winked at Zhao Hao.It wasn't until his eyes were blinking cramp that Zhao Hao unhurriedly took out a piece of silk and brought it to the Marquis of Bei'an.

"Father, this is proposed by Marquis Nishihara."

The silk cloth was unfolded, covering the entire table, densely packed with words, which were copied by Zhao Hao himself.

Marquis of Bei'an looked down, and after just one glance, he couldn't look away.

At the beginning of the content, there is the word "huimeng".

"The alliance of great powers will rule the world."

One sentence came into my eyes, shocking like overwhelming mountains.

After reading it from beginning to end, Hou Bei'an clenched his fist and put it on the case, and he didn't say anything for a long time.After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Hou Xiong Xiyuan has a rough idea, I can't do it!"

"Father thinks it's feasible?" Zhao Hao said.

"It's possible." Marquis Bei'an nodded.Immediately, as if thinking of something again, his eyes swept over Shi Zizhen, obviously disgusted.

Before the crown prince could make a sound, Marquis Bei'an looked away, patted Zhao Hao's shoulder with one hand, and said earnestly, "My son, you must wear a visor when you go to the battlefield from now on."

Zhao Hao: "..."

Brother can't have it, so dad can throw it away too.
