Zhi Xuan

Zhao Hao arrives in the Western Capital City and stays in the Monarch's Mansion. There is no reception banquet, and Zhi Xuan does not go to court for three days.

Fortunately, there are no major events in the country, and the neighboring countries are also very peaceful. It is not a big problem if the monarch does not go to court for a few days.With Su Hu and others in charge of government affairs, there will be no troubles.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the clans can relax a little.There is a wise and hardworking monarch, and everyone is stressed and needs to rest.

Only the historian kept writing and was busier than usual.

A hill of freshly carved bamboo slips contained five volumes detailing the meeting.

In the Spring and Autumn Period described by the official historian, the words and sentences are very concise. If you can use one word, you will never add a second.If it is not concise, it will not work, the workload is too much, and the wrist will not be able to support it.

The relevant content falls into the pen, and in the eyes of the historian, it is clear and clear, without any disputes.How it will be interpreted by later generations is that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

Three days after the monarch's dismissal, the incident spread to the people, and the scandal between Zhixuan and Yangqi collapsed on its own.

No one mentioned the previous rumors anymore. Instead, it was the two things about Xiyuanhou and Nanzhaohou, and Nanzhaohou's amazing beauty, which made Xiyuanhou fascinated and unable to extricate himself.

On the day Zhao Hao entered the city, Yang Qi escaped a catastrophe, but he was still not completely relieved.Send servants to inquire about the news every day, in order to grasp the direction of the rumors, and in case of accidents, they can respond immediately.

Maybe it was good luck, there was no bad news, and good news followed.

"really?!"

After listening to the family order report, and knowing that the rumors were suppressed and dissipated at a fast speed, without any signs of resurgence, Yang Qi couldn't restrain her joy, and was excited for a moment, even jumped up from behind the case.

The newly married Mrs. Zhen happened to come to see him, and she stood in front of the door, witnessing this scene, her footsteps were fixed in place, her expression was indescribable.

Yang Qi jumped three feet high, was looking up to the sky and laughing, and found that the surrounding was strangely quiet, Jia Ling was sweating on his forehead, and kept winking at him.

Realizing that something was wrong, Yang Qi put away her smile and looked towards the door.

The husband and wife looked at each other, one's pupils trembled, and his face was embarrassed; the other was silent, with a very complicated expression.

Madam Zhen sighed, her impression of Yang Qi was completely shattered.

Before getting married, his father and brother praised her husband a lot, saying that he has a calm temperament, followed the monarch to fight in the north and south, and made military exploits repeatedly.

Mrs. Zhen has always trusted her father and brother, and after marrying Yang Qi, she is very satisfied with her husband.Even though there were rumors in the city, he didn't have the slightest doubt, instead he turned to comfort Yang Qi, that he who speaks clearly will clear himself up, and there is no need to be bothered by the rumors.

Yang Qi was very moved. The relationship between husband and wife has changed. It is no longer a pure political marriage, and the friendship is deepening day by day.If things go on like this, they will not be able to be in love with each other, and they will be able to grow old with the same eyebrows.

Not wanting something to happen suddenly, Mrs. Zhen came to see Yang Qi, but before she could inform her, she saw him jumping up from behind the case, with his hips on his hips, laughing loudly.

He has a calm temperament and has the style of a general.Outstanding, but really a pillar of talent.

Madam Zhen's mouth twitched as she recalled the kind words her father and brother had said to Yang Qi.

Every word and every word is exaggerated, and this is the result?

Obviously the goods are not right.

She didn't believe the rumors about Zhi Xuan and Yang Qi before, but now she doesn't believe it even more.

Not to mention that the beauty of Marquis Nan Zhao is unparalleled in the world, and his own husband is not as good as he is. Only considering his temperament, how strange his taste is, he will give up Marquis Nan Zhao to take him.

Domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers, so this possibility cannot be ignored.But there is a premise that wild flowers can be seen.It's just a dog's tail grass, anyone knows how to choose.

In a short period of time, several thoughts flashed through Mrs. Zhen's mind.

She doesn't mind Yang Qi's inconsistency, the head of the clan doesn't have many faces.Known for his straightforwardness, Su Hu is no less thoughtful than his colleagues.

Being able to pretend is a skill.

It is also a talent to pretend to be convincing.

She is worried about Yang Qi's IQ.It's not a big problem to have a detached personality, but it can add a bit of fun to life.If the IQ is not enough, the children born in the future may not be smart, which is really worrying.

Madam Zhen's mind was spinning, her expression was unpredictable.

Yang Qi wanted to speak several times, but swallowed the words back.His intuition told him that it was best not to wonder what his wife was thinking at this moment, the answer might not be what he liked.

Zhixuan was away from court for three days, and there were many speculations in the city, and the theory of indulging in beauty occupied the commanding heights.

This is not the case.

The day after Zhao Hao arrived, the two started talking about business, focusing on external expansion and large-scale development of resources.

Zhixuan sent out an exploration team first, and Hushang and Maoshang gained the most, winning the first place among several teams.

Fox merchants discovered the Great Lake, which is rich in fish resources.A large number of virgin forests are distributed around, and ores have been dug out one after another, and three large mines have been locked.

In the letter to Zhixuan, the fox merchant vowed that as long as he could set up a stronghold here, he would get all the resources around him.

The only problem is that the Bei'an Kingdom team is also eyeing the lake.

Xiyuan Kingdom and Bei'an Kingdom are allies, and many matters can be resolved through negotiation.But in terms of resource competition, neither side will give in easily.At most, it is to draw a boundary by the lake and divide the resources into two.

The strengths of each other are evenly matched, and they do not want to conflict. This is the best solution.

The letter from the fox merchant was delivered, and Zhi Xuan accepted his suggestion after careful consideration.Later, he sent a letter of credence to the Marquis of Bei'an, and proposed to demarcate the border as an ally. The two countries divided the lakes and shared lakes, forests and mineral resources.

The letter of credence was sent to Beiducheng, but there was still no reply.

Zhi Xuan was suspicious, could it be that the Marquis of Bei'an disagreed?

With this kind of question in mind, when discussing matters with Zhao Hao, Zhi Xuan proposed to his face that if the Marquis of Bei'an had other ideas, even with Zhao Hao's relationship, he would not give in easily.

When it comes to the interests of the country, if you can talk about it, you can talk about it. If you can't talk about it, you should rely on your own ability.

The target is Zhao Hao, Zhi Xuan may think more about it.If it were someone else, even Zhao Hao's own father and elder brother, he would not be merciful.

Concession today, and in a similar situation in the future, will he give in?

With such huge interests in front of him, it was related to major decisions, and Zhi Xuan had to weigh every penny.Only in this way can we eliminate hidden dangers and avoid entanglement in the future.

It doesn't matter whether the reputation is good or bad, the key is to get actual benefits and benefits.

Hearing Zhixuan's inquiry, Zhao Hao pondered for a moment, thinking about the situation in the northern capital, and explained: "It may not be because I disagree, but probably because I don't have time."

"No time?" Zhi Xuan thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think about this one.

As the king of a country, the Marquis of Bei'an has no time to read the national documents?

If it wasn't Zhao Hao who said this, he would 100% suspect that the other party was lying to him.

"Why no time?" Zhi Xuan asked.

Zhao Hao's expression froze for an instant, thinking of the dispute between his father and brother, he couldn't help pinching his forehead.

How should he explain it?

The Marquis of Bei'an wanted to conquer the north wholeheartedly, and decided to leave state affairs to the crown prince, and even proposed the throne of Zen.Although he was dissuaded by Shi Zizhen and Doctor Qing, referring to the situation when he left, it is clear that he has not given up.

Shi Ziyu also didn't want to stay in the northern capital.

The princes of the other vassal states wanted to ascend the throne, but he didn't.Like Marquis Bei'an, he also plans to lead his troops to the expedition, and Mobei is the best target.

Both father and son wanted to run away, and they did not hesitate to hold each other back.As a result, none of them escaped.

The matter fell into a tug-of-war, and Dr. Man Chaoqing was devastated, unable to do anything.If Zhao Hao hadn't walked so fast, he would probably have been dragged by the corner of his robe, listening to this group of shameless people weeping.

Zhao Hao didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help it.

With the character of father and brother, there are still many opportunities to be ashamed, and this will never be the only case.

"That's how it is."

After telling the most likely reason, Zhao Hao sighed.

His father and elder brother are out of tune, what can he do, he is also very helpless.There is no way to throw it away. It can only explain the misunderstanding clearly so as not to cause discord between the two countries.

After listening to Zhao Hao's narration, Zhi Xuan's face was full of shock, his mouth opened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

What kind of weird father and son is this?

If it wasn't for the similar facial features, he must have suspected that Zhao Hao was adopted.

Facing Zhi Xuan's gaze, Zhao Hao turned his head, full of helplessness.He has tried his best to organize his words, hoping to save some face for his father and brother.It's a pity that it has little effect and has no effect at all.

Knowing that the Marquis of Bei'an didn't deliberately leave him alone, Zhi Xuan felt relieved and let the matter go for the time being.Opening a map casually, the conversation changed and he and Zhao Hao mentioned exchanging land.

"Exchange land? How?" As Zhixuan expected, Zhao Hao really became interested.

"Exchange the western land for the southern land." Zhi Xuan pointed at the map and drew two blocks on it.

Zhao Hao didn't rush to nod, and carefully browsed the pictures drawn on the map, and said after a while: "The land in the west is desolate, but the south can produce three crops of rice."

In other words, it is not worthwhile for Zhao Hao to exchange land like this, and Zhi Xuan is suspected of being a white wolf.It is true that the relationship between the two is close, and when interests are involved, each other must settle accounts clearly.

"There is a river there, and there is jade in the river." Anticipating Zhao Hao's reaction, Zhi Xuan didn't hesitate, and pointed his fingertips on the picture to show Zhao Hao that he was not taking advantage, but an exchange of equal value.

"Jade mine?" Zhao Hao looked at the map again. If there is a jade mine, it can be considered.

"Of course."

After finishing the words, Zhi Xuan stood up and fetched a wooden box, opened the lid, and inside were two fist-sized pieces of white jade.

Different from when it was delivered, the mottled jade skin has been wiped off, the jade surface is smooth, and the luster is more moist.

Zhi Xuan wanted the land in the south to be used exclusively for growing food.Due to the location of Xiyuan Country, it is very inconvenient to dispatch manpower, not to mention consuming manpower and material resources, and future development will also become a problem.

Changing land with Zhao Hao can save costs, which is the best way at present.

The Southern Zhao Kingdom occupies the right time and place, and Zhao Hao originally intended to develop southward, and the territory he occupied would definitely not be small.The land exchange to the west of Zhixuan was actually a jade mine.Zhao Hao is not at a disadvantage, but to a certain extent, he is taking advantage.

The reason why Zhixuan is so generous is because Maoshang made a major discovery.

According to the information sent back by Maoshang, the team found three riverbeds of Tibetan jade and two lakes covered with agate. It is conservatively estimated that they will not be exploited for decades.

Jade and agate are indeed precious, but they cannot be eaten as food.After thinking about it, Zhi Xuan decided to set aside part of the land and exchange the land with Zhao Hao.

Grain can be grown in the south, and mining can be done in the west. The mutual benefit and cooperation between the two is definitely a win-win situation.
