Zhi Xuan

Chapter 56

From the middle of the day to the sunset, the subordinate officials still failed to come to a conclusion.

When the sun went down, the physical exertion of the people was too great, and the tables and tables were emptied, so they could no longer copy weapons, so they could only continue to fight with each other.Even so, if seven or eight mouths fire at the same time, the power is not small.

Zhao Hao has gotten used to it, no matter how loud the voices of the subordinates are, they can still be at ease without much reaction.

Zhi Xuan is not the case.The original novelty disappeared, and I couldn't help being quarreled until my brain ached.I began to miss the company meeting in my previous life.Although it is also verbal and verbal, at least it stays in the mouth and will not use force at the negotiating table.The posture of throwing bamboo slips and knives and pens in the field just now really shocked him.

Time passed, the wind blew outside the tent, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

Torches were lit inside and outside the big tent.

The curtain was lifted, the flames danced, and the smoke drifted out from the front of the tent, blending into the night, and gradually disappeared without a trace.

The witch doctor led people to pour soup and medicine around the big tent, and placed clay pots at the four corners of the tent. Inside were crushed and soaked herbal roots, which exude a refreshing smell and can effectively disperse the insects that come and go at night.

As time passed, the quarrel in the big tent gradually weakened, and then a servant came outside the tent to convey the order of Young Master Xuan and deliver meals.

In Zhixuan camp, several chefs have already prepared.The waiter conveyed the order, and immediately ordered it in an orderly manner, prepared the tableware in accordance with the etiquette, and then prepared the rice, vegetables, sauce and drink in sequence.

Zhixuan doesn't like to eat sauce, but on important occasions, there must be a lot of preparation, otherwise it is out of etiquette.

Fortunately, the chef is very smart. According to Zhixuan's eating habits, he made a cooked sauce, steamed the minced meat in a pot, then added the seasoning and mixed the sauce, and stirred it together. It looks good and tastes good .There are also boiled eggs, smashed with a stone pestle, mixed with chives, and then salt is added to replace fermented raw meat and ant eggs.

After the meal is prepared, the kitchen uses honey to make a drink, the color is attractive and the taste is sweet.Under the circumstances that honey is extremely rare, only Zhi Xuan can spend so much money.

Everything was ready, and several cooks checked individually to make sure that there was no mistake, and the waiters picked up the tableware one after another and sent them to the account one by one.

Long-term mental tension, exhaustion of both mental and physical strength, the subordinates are all hungry.The aroma of food wafted over, immediately doubling the hunger, and the temple of the five internal organs roared in unison.

The waiters quickly tidied up the tables and put away the bamboo slips, knives and pens and several unknown objects scattered on the ground. After returning to the tent, one of them clapped his hands twice, and the waiters who delivered the food entered the tent one after another.

The waiters are divided into two teams, or carry or hold, and deliver food utensils such as Ding, Gui, Zudou, etc., which contain rice, delicacies, drinks, sauces, etc.According to each person's status, the number of utensils and the types of dishes are different.

Lifting the lid of the food utensils, the aroma of the food became stronger and filled the entire tent in an instant.

For a while, no one cared about the previous quarrel, and all their attention was focused on the meal, and their stomach growled even louder.

The dinner was prepared by Zhixuan Ying. The types of food are not unusual, but the cooking method is ingenious, adding several kinds of seasonings, and the taste is very different in the mouth.

Zhidi's subordinates are used to eating delicious food without thinking about it.

Most of Zhao's officials tasted it for the first time, and they couldn't help being surprised when the chopsticks were brought to their mouths.It only takes one bite to taste the difference.

Zhao Hao was once invited to a banquet by Zhixuan, so he knew that the food must taste good.What he didn't expect was that after Zhixuan was sealed off, the witch doctor and Sang doctor jointly planted a large number of medicinal materials, some of which can be used as medicine or seasoning to make the food taste better.

The food served this time tastes better than before.Especially a fish soup, there is no fishy smell, only a strong fresh fragrance, which makes the index finger move.

Zhi Xuan was also very satisfied with this fish soup.The only regret is that there is no tofu.If it can be stewed with tofu, the taste will definitely be better.

Before he was sealed off, Zhi Xuan thought about making tofu and ordered people to collect soybeans.After all, he was too busy after the seal, building the land, building a new city, harvesting wasteland, raising poultry, and so on, all of which required him to work hard.

Besides, there was never peace around him.

The malicious Nanyou Kingdom caravan, the assassins sent by the Mi Clan, and the poisoning of the servants in the mansion all involved his energy, making it difficult for him to do his best to deal with this matter.

The bottom line is that things don't always happen overnight, even when there is time.

He has heard of making tofu with brine, and it seems that gypsum can also be used, but it is really unclear how to do it.Even if it is clear, it is useless without these two things at hand.

Fortunately, the stone mill has been made, and you can consider making soy milk.You can also try raw soybean sprouts. If you succeed, you won’t have to worry about pickles every day after winter.

There is only one problem. Soybean is one of the five grains. It is the staple food in all countries and is a precious ration.If he wants to use raw bean sprouts to grind soybean milk, it is estimated that there will be a lot of opposition.

After all, food is precious, and even the king and son cannot waste it at will.

Thinking about it, Zhi Xuan's thoughts drifted away, the chopsticks in his hand stopped, and he didn't move for a long time.

Zhao Hao, who was sitting by the side, saw that he was distracted, but he didn't say anything.Seeing the subordinates looking over, he lightly touched Zhi Xuan to turn him from his contemplation.

After eating, it was late at night.

Continuing to quarrel may not be able to produce a result. The subordinates have reached an agreement that the war will be temporarily suspended today, and each of them will go back to recharge their batteries and wait until tomorrow to fight again!

Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao got up respectively, got out of the tent, boarded the chariot, put on the guard of honor and went back to the camp.

In the light of the fire, the horses pulled the chariot forward.

The wheels crunched over dry grass and gravel.

Zhi Xuan sat in the car, recalling the content of the quarrel among the subordinates, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

With his status and current situation, marriage has advantages and disadvantages.Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages is hard to say without the facts.But he can be sure of one thing, no matter whether it is a marriage or a wedding, as long as the engagement is agreed, Mi Clan will be able to make a fool of himself.

If it works properly, Marquis Xiyuan will consider making him his son no matter how unwilling he is.

The only variable is that if the marriage certificate states that he is married, Marquis Nishihara and Mishi will have an excuse to delay their objection.The reason is easy to find. Once he becomes the eldest son, will he ascend to the throne of the country in the future, will it make Xiyuan country inferior to Bei'an country?

After all, no matter how high the status and strength of Zhao Hao is, he can only become the Qing and the big clan of Bei'an Kingdom in the end.With the eldest son Yan around, it is impossible for him to become the king.

If it was Zhao Hao, he would also face a lot of problems.

Now he holds a large army in his hand and is ordered to guard the border, making Di Rong terrified, and all countries know his reputation.If he married Zhixuan with Zhao land, it was called marriage, then, would this fiefdom belong to Bei'an or Xiyuan in the future, and how would the army in his hands belong?

Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Zizhen support him now in order to avoid domestic disputes.When the main conflict is resolved and the big clan no longer has the chance to marry Zhao Hao, it is unknown whether the two will change their minds.

People's hearts are fickle, and they can't stand the test.

It is precisely because of knowing the pros and cons of this that the subordinates will argue endlessly and refuse to give in to each other.

After returning to the camp, Zhi Xuan lay on the couch, unable to fall asleep for a long time.Thinking about things in my mind, sleepiness surged up and was quickly suppressed.

Marriage has its benefits, but it also has its troubles.

After several rounds of weighing, an idea popped up in Zhixuan's mind. It was a bit absurd and could be called bold, but it was definitely a good solution for the current situation.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Zhi Xuan immediately sat up.

"Come on!"

The waiter outside the tent heard the call and immediately raised the curtain.

"What are your orders, son?"

"Hold the lamp on the case."

Zhixuan ordered his servants to light the copper lamp, brought bamboo slips and a knife and pen, and quickly carved two lines of characters.After the inspection was correct, he ordered people to send him to Zhao Hao's camp immediately.

"Go quickly and hand it over to Gongzi Hao."

The servant took the order and turned to see Chief Jia.

A password is required to open the camp gate at night, even to deliver letters to Zhi Xuan.

When Chief Jia asked about the situation, it must be something urgent, otherwise the young master would not let someone deliver the letter in the middle of the night.Immediately, several soldiers were dispatched to escort the servants carrying Zhixuan's letter to the opposite camp.

As soon as Zhao Hao fell asleep, he heard a report from someone outside the tent that Gong Zixuan sent someone to send a letter.

"Hold the lamp."

Zhao Hao got up and put on his long robe, ordered someone to hold the lamp, and then called the servant who delivered the letter to enter.

The servants saluted respectfully, not daring to raise their heads, and presented bamboo slips with both hands.

Zhao Hao was very curious in his heart, guessing what was the urgent matter, which made Zhi Xuan unable to wait for two or three hours, and sent people to camp in the middle of the night.

With the help of the firelight, Zhao Hao untied the rope and unfolded the bamboo slips.

There were only two lines of characters on the bamboo slips, but he read them for a quarter of an hour.

After a long time, Zhao Hao's eyebrows relaxed, and he took another bamboo slip from the case, wrote a reply letter, and asked the soldier to return to Zhixuan.

Like Zhixuan's letter, Zhao Hao's reply was only a few words. Apart from agreeing with Zhixuan's proposal, he only wrote at the end: "Your gift of the divine bird pendant, Hao's luck."

After the servant returned to the camp, he hurried to the big tent.

Seeing the reply, Zhi Xuan had nothing else to say, so he waved the servant to leave.

The curtain was lowered, and Zhi Xuan sat alone beside the table, resting his chin with one hand, rubbing the bamboo slips with his fingers, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

It was an accident at first, more like a misunderstanding.Looking at it now, he has indeed made money, that's right.

The next day, the subordinate officials walked into the big tent in high spirits, ready to continue fighting.Not wanting Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao to stop the crowd, they each handed out bamboo slips and motioned for everyone to pass them on.

The content on the bamboo slips is simple and clear, stating that the two have formed a marriage alliance, only marriage, not marriage.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, the subordinate officials froze on the spot.

Only marriage, not marriage?

"There is no precedent, and there is nothing to do."

The subtext is that if you can’t do this without historical records, then you can do it naturally.

The clan and the official historian looked at each other. This was the reason they thought of at the beginning, but they didn't expect it to be used by the two young masters.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case.

Even the oldest marriage alliance only records words such as marriage and alliance, and does not strictly stipulate that marriage must be married.With the identities of Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao, this kind of marriage contract of equal alliance is indeed more beneficial than a forced marriage.

The subordinate officials thought about it, carefully considered it, and exchanged opinions with their colleagues, and they all believed that this matter was feasible.

"Young master is wise!"

The subordinate officials reached an agreement without any objection.

To solve the most difficult problem, everyone seized the time and began to discuss marriage-related procedures.Even if you don’t marry or don’t marry, you still have to prepare the dowry and dowry, and you have to prepare both together.Only in this way can we maintain absolute equality and show off our country's financial strength by the way.

Clansmen and historians are busy recording.

The former is to record every detail so that it can be passed on within the clan.If you encounter similar things in the future, everyone can have a reference.

The latter wrote vigorously, and wrote a lot about the wisdom and determination of Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao.If the word "marriage alliance" hadn't been written at the beginning of the chapter, most of the viewers would have thought that he was writing the biographies for the merger of the two sons.

In this regard, the official historian said that there is no doubt that he did it on purpose.

Zhixuan and Zhao Hao have repeatedly set new precedents. When meeting these two, the writing style handed down by his ancestors is useless, so he can only figure it out by himself.Since there is no reference, it is up to him to decide how to write.As for what the latecomers will think, whether they will have a headache, it has nothing to do with him.

Ever since he discovered that cheating people can make him feel comfortable, the historian has resolutely released his temperament, and completely let himself go on the premise of abiding by professional ethics.
