The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

King Zhao's confidant eunuch Wang Gonggong carried the gold seal into the mourning hall.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dai Quan spread out the white paper, and the King of Chu personally stamped it with a golden seal.Comparing the hook in the word "Zhao" carefully, the one on the four letters is indeed thinner.Liu Quan ordered his servants: "Go back to the yamen quickly and get the order from the prince before the flood control."

Another minister also hurriedly called to his long follower: "Go to the study and get our family's."

The rest of the ministers also asked people to go back to the Yamen to fetch the documents that King Zhao had sealed.

Then King Wei sneered: "No need."

The official next to him looked at Wang Gonggong and said: "My father-in-law is very capable. It is my fault."

Wang Gonggong cupped his hands in a daze: "What did your lord say? This servant can't understand."

King Wei put his hands behind his back and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand or not."

As soon as the words fell, a soldier broke in from outside the door and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty! It's not good! There are countless soldiers from other countries coming from outside the house!"

The four princes of Zheng, Wei, Zhou and Cao laughed in unison.Smiling and laughing, he realized that the other three were also laughing, and they all stopped talking.The silence in front of the mourning hall was like midnight.It is obvious that these four have soldiers and horses outside.The faces of the rest of the people were livid: No one can leave this time.Sure enough, thunderous shouts of killing came from outside, and the soldiers ran back and forth, saying, "Another team has come to confront the front team at the gate of the mansion."

King Cao asked urgently, "Which country is it from?"

"The guy in the front belongs to Zheng Guo, but the guy in the back doesn't know about it." The room was silent again for a moment.

After a long while, Liu Qian laughed and said, "Why don't you four countries fight first, and the winner will be the Zhao country."

Zhao Guo's minister immediately shouted: "It's unreasonable! Is there any king's law!" Everyone began to discuss.

Su Cheng whispered to Liu Xiaoqi, the guard behind him, "Why is it such a coincidence that the four countries have contacted one family?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Because the intelligence leaders of these four countries are all members of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"what?"

"It is our own people who arrange to go out to find out the news, and it is our own people who pretend to be the servants of the sloppy woman; it is our own people who persuade the four princes to use troops, survey the roads, imitate Zhao Jun's uniforms, inquire about Zhao Jun's passwords, and attract soldiers and horses from the four kingdoms. The ones who entered the country of Zhao were still their own people." Liu Xiaoqi said, "It's a full set of dramas, everyone is pretending to be tacit."

Su Cheng couldn't help snickering: "Your bureau chief is really not idle."

Liu Xiaoqi also smiled and said, "He has been here for two years! Not to mention the painstaking efforts of the past. Now the layout is roughly completed, and the rice will be harvested in a few years."

Not long after, all the soldiers and horses of the four countries had arrived, and they surrounded Zhao Wang's mansion tightly.The King of Chu said helplessly: "If only one of the four uncles and elders sent troops, I'm afraid they would all be able to capture Zhao Guo; but now all four families have come. Why don't we discuss it well..."

Before he finished speaking, the reporter came again: "His Royal Highness! Another large army has come outside, with a huge number of people, including soldiers and horses from the four countries!" He hesitated for a moment, "The clothes look like Yan Guo A strong man for water control."

Su Cheng immediately smiled and said, "No. You probably saw them wearing camouflage uniforms. Camouflage uniforms are a big category of clothing. There is one type for water-controlling men, and another type for officers and soldiers."

Prince Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Master Su, what does this mean?"

Su Cheng hastily waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. Because those four countries mobilized troops and horses into Zhao, I, Yan Kingdom, noticed it. The regent was afraid that something might happen to me, so he sent some people to protect me secretly. I am his niece, The prince knows it. If these four princes don’t send troops to besiege Zhao Wang’s mansion, our people will just hide quietly outside the city.” She looked at the four princes and said, “We Yan Kingdom doesn’t want to care about the affairs of your five kingdoms. I can't control it. I also ask the four princes to speak, please let your people get out of the way, and let me, Mr. Dai Quan and Mr. Kong Yunxian leave. The Yan army will immediately withdraw and escort us back to the country. The rest will not be with you. The country of Yan is involved."

Everyone was shocked.Just now when I heard that the Yan army had arrived, I thought they wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot, but they just wanted to get away!So he secretly guessed whether it was true or false.The generals of the Zhao State were so shocked that the ** army entered Handan just like that, and their own soldiers and horses were not checked.

Kong Yunxian said in a low voice: "Lord Su, are we going to leave like this?"

Su Cheng said, "Of course I'm going! I'm here to control the water, and you're here to express condolences. I've finished the water treatment, and you've also finished your condolences. Why don't you leave and keep it for dinner?"

King Zheng immediately said: "Is it true what Master Su said?"

Su Cheng said loudly: "Really."

King Zheng looked at the three: "Since that's the case, let's not keep Master Su for dinner, shall we?"

Those three said in unison: "Lord Su, let's go!" Yan Guo got involved, and there was no drama for himself.

An official from an unknown country immediately jumped out and cupped his hands and said, "Master Su, it happens that I have something to go to Beijing, so how about going with Master Su?"

Another person said: "The lower official is going to the capital too, so it's good to be with the two adults." Suddenly, a dozen or so people jumped out and wanted to follow.

Su Cheng was a little hesitant, and discussed with Dai Quan: "Eunuch Dai, what do you think?"

Dai Quan looked at the crowd and thought to himself: "The miscellaneous family thought... Anyway, if you adults want to go to Beijing, you can go together."

Everyone bowed their hands together: "Thank you, Eunuch Dai!"

Zhao Shizi panicked: "Yunxian Yunxian, don't go!"

Kong Yunxian hurriedly said to Su Cheng: "Master Su, we can't just leave like this, it is truly a great injustice."

Su Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Kong, it's not that the officials are unrighteous. These people were sent by Uncle Cong to protect me. Now the five countries are going to fight with each other... Now the five countries are already fighting with each other, so if we join in, we will join the war. I am a small technical official in charge of water control projects, and I am no more than a member of the Ministry of Industry in terms of grades. How can I decide to participate in such a major event. I can’t represent the country of Yan!”

"This..." Kong Yunxian was troubled.

Liu Qian from Lu State said loudly: "Master Su is right. If she is not in her position, she will not seek her own government. Forcing her, a junior official from the fifth rank, to make the decision to join the war, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her strongman."

Zhao Shizi rushed to Kong Yunxian's side in two steps and begged: "Yunxian! The four teams outside are like wolves and tigers. If you leave, I will die! None of them will let me go!"

Dai Quan sighed: "Mr. Kong, neither Zajia nor Mr. Su can be such a big master."

Zhao Shizi grabbed Kong Yunxian's arm: "Yunxian, you can't go!"

Several officials of the State of Zhao also stepped forward and surrounded Kong Yunxian: "Please help Mr. Kong!" .

Kong Yunxian resolutely saluted Su Cheng deeply: "Master Su, if you are inconvenient, please leave on your own. Kong and Shizi Zhao are also considered friends, and they must not be alone."

"That's impossible." Su Cheng said, "If something happens to you, Mr. Lin will definitely kill me. You must go back."

Kong Yunxian said indifferently: "Kong is from the state of Qi, Mr. Su, an official of the state of Yan, can't control me."

Su Cheng shrugged: "I'm offended. Xiao Qi, please leave Mr. Kong."

Kong Yunxian straightened his back and said sharply: "I am the grandson of Confucius No. 70, who dares to touch me!"

Su Cheng turned a blind eye: "Xiaoqi! Do it."

Kong Yunxian stood with his hands behind his back, his expression resolute, several Zhao officials stood in front of him, and Prince Zhao hid behind him and grabbed his arm vigorously.The room was full of awe.

Liu Xiaoqi flashed out from behind Su Cheng with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is actually another way."

Su Cheng glanced at him: "Say!"

"No war." Liu Xiaoqi said, "The troops of the four countries are retreating, and the special envoys of the lords are going back to their own countries, what should they do?"

"Are you stupid?" Su Cheng said angrily, "He is fighting openly to grab the territory. The imitation letter from King Zhao is just a cover. How can you retreat without eating fat mutton?"

"My subordinates know. Please wait a moment, my lord." Liu Xiaoqi walked up to the special envoy of the Yue Kingdom, Zhen Zangzhu, and clasped his fists, "If I remember correctly, did this friend go to Anyao in Yanjing earlier?"

Zhen Zangzhu frowned, clasped his fists and said, "That's right, I did walk through the green forest when I was young."

"It really is Li Dalang, the Iron Swallow." Liu Xiaoqi bowed and bowed, "My little brother once saw Li Dalang in the crowd, but luckily he has a good memory."

Zhen Zangzhu returned the courtesy and said: "Since I recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, I have changed my ways and returned to righteousness. I don't know the affairs of the world these years, so I don't know my brother."

Liu Xiaoqi grinned and said, "It's normal that adults don't recognize the new springboard I got on. My lord, let's join hands shoulder to shoulder. It's better than flooding the water with a good mutton steak pulled off the thread and a seven-inch size for my grandson." people."

"This..." Zhen Zangzhu was thoughtful.

This is the mourning hall of King Zhao, and the room is full of princes and ministers from various countries.Liu Xiaoqi uttered a long series of green forest slang words in a loud voice, but no one could understand them, and looked at each other in blank dismay. "My lord, what did the guard of the Yan Kingdom say?" "The lower officials don't know either!"

After a while, Zhen Zangzhu stroked his beard and said: "I haven't picked a pole for many years, since I can trust the words, I will rank you and Mo." Liu Xiaoqi nodded.

Everyone looked at each other in a daze.Before they had time to discuss, they heard exclamation in their ears, Zhen Zangzhu and Liu Xiaoqi both rose into the air and went straight to the beam.The two turned around on the beam like lightning a few times, and the figure suddenly fell down.Before everyone realized what was going on, several screams like killing a pig suddenly sounded.Taking a closer look, King Wei and Cao Wang somehow fell into Liu Xiaoqi's hands, Zheng Wang and Zhou Wang were restrained by Zhen Zangzhu, and the guards all fell to the ground and shouted "Ouch".

Then I heard a guard from an unknown country in the crowd laughing: "The brother in Tsing Yi said just now that the two of them worked together to defeat the guards around the princes and tie them up. It's better than other soldiers coming in to us Run away. The man in black clothes said that although he has not been a bodyguard for many years, since his friend trusts him, the two on the west will belong to me and the two on the north will belong to you.”

"Coax—" There was a commotion in the mourning hall.

The son of Zhao Guo came out from behind Kong Yunxian arrogantly, clapping his hands and laughing loudly, he said: "It is true that every generation of dogs is slaughtered in righteousness. Thank you two heroes. I have recorded the great kindness and virtue of Zhao Guo, and there will be rewards in the future."

Zhen Zangzhu said: "I have washed my hands in a golden basin for many years, it is good that this kind of favor can be remembered by Yue Guo."

Su Cheng said: "Your Majesty, don't remember the favor to Yan Guo. This matter was done by Xiao Qi alone, you can just thank him."

Everyone has not recovered yet.It was Mr. Liu Qian from the State of Lu who applauded first, and the others immediately followed suit, and the mourning hall suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

Now that it's over, there's nothing left to pretend about.The king of Chu and Kong Yunxian acted as protectors, and the four countries withdrew their troops.The four princes were temporarily taken care of by Zhao Guo, and Zhao Shizi returned to his home country after he ascended the throne.Suddenly someone from outside reported that "the officers and soldiers of the five countries have all withdrawn", and Man Lingtang was relieved.

Everyone began to leave, but Zhao Guo naturally did not stay.However, Liu Qian, the special envoy of the Lu State, stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that your Zhao State has been targeted by Zheng Wei, Zhou, and Cao Siguo. Once this kind of thinking is started, it will not stop for no reason. Lord Zhen and Xiao Qiyi will help you. I won’t help you this time, but I can’t help you next time.” He smiled and said, “Do you want to form an alliance with the State of Lu? After whispering to each other, they all looked at Zhao Shizi in unison.

Prince Zhao squinted at him: "You King Lu can't be your own master, and I dare not stand up to you Master Zhu Tong." He said to Kong Yunxian and said, "Yunxian, how about our alliance between Zhao and Yan?" shock.

Kong Yunxian coughed twice: "I am from Qi State..."

The special envoy of the State of Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you want to form an alliance with the State of Qi?"

"No!" Zhao Shizi refused bluntly, "You Qi is very weak, and it is useless to form an alliance with you."

Su Cheng hurriedly said, "Don't discuss with me. I'm just a sesame official, and I don't care about such a big deal as forming an alliance."

The old eunuch Dai Quan said with a smile: "If the son has this intention, he can send a special envoy to the capital to discuss. But with sincerity, everything can be discussed."

Prince Zhao murmured: "Where is there any special envoy that can be obtained? Zhao Guo is now full of rebellious officials and thieves, Mr. Liu Quan has to stay in Handan to clean up the mess. Would you like to invite Mr. Yu Minzhong to come?"

Liu Quan immediately said: "My son, although Master Yu is the leader of Master Zhang, the evidence of the fake disaster relief is solid. You can't release him at will without careful investigation and proof of Master Yu's innocence."

Zhao Shizi said with a flattering smile: "Master Liu, let's discuss it, that is my father-in-law..."

Liu Quan sternly said: "If the emperor's relatives can rely on their son-in-law to do evil, how can the Zhao state be established?"

The son of Zhao looked at the ministers for support, and all the ministers bowed their heads—the son was so weak in front of Liu Quan, it would be hard to say whether Zhao Guo's surname would be Situ or Liu in the future.He looked at the special envoys of various countries, and the special envoys either looked up at the beam or turned their heads to look at the window.Although he never looked at Kong Yunxian, Kong Yunxian said: "My son, Mr. Liu is right."

Zhao Shizi was helpless: "Okay, forget it..." Kong Yunxian nodded.Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this son is really useless.

After this incident, Zhao Guo did not dare to delay any longer.Three days later, the son ascended the throne as King Zhao.The special envoys of various countries stayed to congratulate, and the threshold of Liu's family was broken.Afterwards, the interrogation of Yu Minzhong's case, the expulsion of the Zhang family and other four families from Zhao State could not be completed in three to five days, and Liu Quan was very busy.The first king of Zhao passed away on [-]th, and the new king of Zhao went to Beijing in person.

No one knows what Zhao Wang talked with the people in Yan Guozhengshitang.A month later, the "Yanjing Weekly" once again published the explosive news: Zhao Guo joined the federation of Yan and Malay, and the three countries were merged into one country. They planned to change all the names of the three countries next year, collectively called the Chinese Federation Empire.

In another month, the sages in the Forbidden City issued an order to the six provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Taiwan to join the federation.Although I knew that these places were all under the jurisdiction of King Yan earlier, and it was announced so brightly, the princes from all over the place felt uncomfortable as if a huge stone had been crushed on their hearts.Someone noticed that there was no movement in Ping'an Prefecture, and it was still the number one business in the world, and it did not get involved in the disputes of the princes.

In October, Zhen Hui, governor of Fujian, wrote a letter to the sage, asking for Fujian to join the Federation, and the sage agreed.

Zhao Wang's father-in-law, Yu Minzhong, found out that it was true, and returned the embezzled silver. He left Handan and went to the capital to serve as the servant of the household department.Everyone in the world thought it was Zhao Wang who begged for love.King Zhao announced to the world that his biological mother was Taoist nun Wei Rongguan, and everyone in Zhao called her the queen mother.

In the twelfth lunar month, Liu Tong, the overlord of the Lu Kingdom who had been living in Dongying and never returned home, contracted a serious illness and was about to die.His eldest son Liu Shu and his prime minister and son-in-law Zhu Tong immediately put aside their court affairs and rushed to Dongying.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, and the snow in the north and south of the Yangtze River is falling, and it is the end of the year again.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Lin Daiyu, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yan, issued the first decree, changing the name of the country to the Chinese Federation Empire, and this year is the first year of the Empire.
