Spring and Autumn

48.3 Zhao Yang's death

In a few days, it came to the Spring Festival again, which was 475 BC.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and it's almost February. Wu Feng brought his wives to the palace on this day and said goodbye to King Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuanwang

Knowing that he could no longer retain it this time, he just sighed and was very reluctant to give up.

Wu Feng said, "I wanted to go to the State of Jin first and then come back. The waterway returned to the east, but Weichen also wanted to pass through Zhongshan and Daiguo

To visit the deceased, is it by land or by land?

Zhou Yuanwang said, "My brother-in-law, sister Wang will go with you. I'm sorry to bother you to take more care of me and treat my sister well."

Wu Feng said, "God, don't worry."

Chu Yueer said, "The emperor, the first king once entrusted Yueer to take care of Wang Ji. With Yueer, he will protect Wang Jizhou

All."

King Yuan of Zhou pulled Meng Wangji to tell him for a long time before letting them go home.

The next day, Wu Feng and other brigade came out from the north gate, led by Zhou Yuanwang, Prince Ji Jie, Ji Hou, Liu Juan and Shan Jiao

Chengzhou officials came to see them off, and the people of Chengzhou also gathered outside the city, with more than 10,000 people.

King Yuan of Zhou and Wang Ji said goodbye with tears. The scene was very touching. Wu Feng whispered to King Yuan of Zhou and Ji Jie: "The emperor,

Prince, no matter what changes in the future, this three armies must not be handed over to the ministers. As long as the military power is in hand, the sky is great

can also deal with things.

Zhou Yuanwang nodded and said, "I keep in mind the words of my brother-in-law. Jie'er, you should also remember this.

Several temple people brought a bronze-tube gold-top flagpole. Zhou Yuanwang said, "This flag has been made for many days, and my brother-in-law has been all the way

Plugging in may help my brother-in-law open the way.

Wu Feng took it to his hand and unfolded it rolled on the flagpole. He saw two big words "Longbo" embroidered on it, copper pole

There are also four small words "Heavenly Benevolence System" above

.

Wu Feng thanked him and ordered Bao Xing to put the flag on the front soldier's chariot.

Ji Hou and other officials also said goodbye to Wu Feng and other people one by one. It was almost time for Wu Feng's brigade to leave, so that they couldn't see

At that time, King Zhou Yuan came back and didn't mention it.

Wu Feng asked Gongyang to go to the State of Jin first and informed Zhao Yang that he wanted to visit Tian Yaner.

The brigade had not yet traveled ten miles, and Zhuang Zhan, who opened the road in front of him, sent someone to report that someone was in the way.

Wu Feng drove forward and saw that it was the master craftsman Yin.

Master Yin took more than ten people and kowtowed to Wu Feng and said, "The little man was recommended by Long Bo as an official, and there is nothing to repay. These days

The villain personally built a pure copper bathtub for Longbo and his ladies on the road.

Wu Feng saw that the copper basin was very large, shaped like a bucket, enough to bathe for three or four people, and said with a smile, "Although your copper basin is good,

However, it's a little bigger. I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient to carry it all the way.

Master Yin said, "Although this basin is large, it is of good quality and lighter. It weighs only 20 catties and can be held in one hand."

Wu Fengqi said, "Is such a big copper basin only 20 catties? This is really rare. In that case, I will accept it.

Let Chunyu bring some Jinbei to him.

Yin insisted on not saying, "Although the villain is not rich, he also has a lot of interests in the copper workshop." Take another box of copper

The thin mask made by

was dedicated to Wu Feng and said, "When I first saw Long Bo, the ladies were very interested in this mask. Did you buy it twice

Less, the little man brought some more for your ladies to play on the way.

Wu Fengzan said, "You are a good-minded person. Be careful to be an official in the future, or you may be promoted." Let the spring rain follow the mask.

The master Yin laughed and said, "Yesterday, the prince has been promoted to Wang Shigongzheng, just because Uncle Long is going back to China, and the prince is depressed

I'm not happy. I remembered that the villain was recommended by Long Bo, so I was promoted to the position of villain.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, haha."

Master Yin said, "Actually, this is all up to Long Bo's face. The villain dares not hinder Longbo's journey. Longbo, please.

He obediently retreated to the roadside, and Wu Feng urged the brigade to move forward. Far away, he saw the man by the roadside.

Chu Yueer sighed, "I didn't expect him to remember his husband's kindness."

Wu Feng nodded and said, "In fact, this person is the same as Qin Jun. He is a temperamental person, but his status is low,

Don't dare to make friends with me. If I had known this, I should have talked to him more before.

Meng Wangji was still sobbing in the car. Princess Miao comforted her for a long time. Shanghu took control of the car for Meng Wangji and smiled, "Wang Jigu

Why should I cry? Xiao Zhou said it well. As long as Aunt Wang Ji has a son of heaven in her heart and Aunt Wang Ji in her heart, she will still be

together."

Meng Wangji was quite unpleasant when she heard his "Aunt Wang Ji" and couldn't help saying, "How can the old merchant call me 'Aunt Wang Ji'?

It sounds very awkward."

Shang Hu said, "I used to be called Wang Ji, but now I have become my uncle's wife. Naturally, I will be called Wang Ji's aunt. The princess is a father-in-law

Master aunt."

Meng Wangji frowned and said, "Isn't it better for you to scream as before?"

Shang Hu shook his head and said, "That won't work. That's what my aunt has to call it."

Princess Miao saw that this person was very interesting and was not under Bao Xing. She smiled and said, "Then you should just call your aunt."

Shang Hu shook his head again and said, "This is not done. If you don't believe it, try it, aunt, aunt, aunt!" He shouted loudly and made

Chu Yueer and Siyan's daughter all looked at him, and Shang Hu laughed and said, "Isn't this confused? So many aunts, who knows the old

Who is the merchant calling?

Princess Miao muttered, "Why do I sound like a bird when I listen to you?"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "The old businessman's words are very reasonable. At present, I have several of you ladies by my side.

It's a little difficult for them to call them. Princess, you don't know this old businessman. He behaves strangely and says that he is confused. Sometimes he says

It makes sense to say that he is smart and sometimes makes people confused. Don't take him seriously.

Bao Xing said, "Old businessman, Xiaohong said, you can't be too naughty, otherwise when you go to the State of Qi, you will see her find your Hu

must."

What Shanghu was most afraid of was Wu Feng and Xiaohong. He was shocked when he heard the words and asked, "Really?"

Tian Xiaohu couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Bao's words are not right. That day, I clearly heard Xiao Hong right

Master Zhuang's words are not like this.

Bao Xing said debauerly, "Did Xiaohu hear it?"

Chu Yueer asked, "What did Xiao Hong say?"

Tianqihu said, "Xiaohong said to Zhuang Zhan..." He learned Xiaohong's tone and said, "Brother Zhuang, Xiaoxinger is too much

Naughty, you should watch more and don't let him miss Longbo's big event. Otherwise, when he comes home, I will exhaust his beard

has been pulled out.' That's what I said. If you don't believe it, you can ask Master Zhuang.

Meng Wangji couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that Xiao Xinger said Xiaohong's words to the old businessman."

Shang Hu was very serious and said, "In fact, there are old merchants, and Xiaohong should be relieved. If Xiaoxing has a mess,

When he returned to Qi, the old merchant pulled out his beard. Alas, Xiaohong is too worried!"

Bao Xing was annoyed and said, "Well, it's outrageous for the old businessman. How can you pull out my beard? Intentional to destroy me

Zunrong?"

When everyone heard their words, they couldn't help laughing, and Meng Wangji's sadness was swept away.

Wu Feng has a lot of laden, which was originally brought by the State of Qi, plus the emperor, Zhongshan, the State of Jin, the State of Qin,

Gifted by the State of Chu, the treasures given by Zhi, Zhao, Han and Wei to Wu Feng and Chu Yueer, the dowry of Meng Wangji, and Princess Miao

For the accompanying things brought by Qi, there are 30 or 40 cars of all kinds of wine alone, a total of two or three hundred cars, and so many other people

There are a lot of clean water and dry food along the way. Fortunately, when Princess Miao came from the State of Qi, she brought a large number of "Xuhui pottery", all of which were big urn.

It is just used to put wine, water and dry food, which is dozens more cars. There are also many temple people, maids, servants, servants, etc.

The journey is extremely slow.

A few days later, he entered the territory of the State of Jin, and Gongyang rushed back and said, "Long Bo, I have seen the fourth lady, but General Zhao

Sick, the unxued man was in a hurry and couldn't send anyone to greet him for a while.

Wu Feng was shocked and said that Zhao Yang must be sick. Because of this, Zhao Wujian must be afraid of wisdom, Han and Wei San

The family took the opportunity to send people around to prevent accidents, and it is not easy to send a person with a low status to meet the rudeness.

That's it. Zhao Wutian is intelligent and courageous, and he is by no means a busy person.

Wu Feng urged to go quickly. Many Jin officials along the way received him. They all said that Zhao Yang was seriously ill and was afraid that he would not support him for many days.

For more than ten days outside Jiangdu, Wu Feng discussed with Meng Wang Ji and stationed the deer and Zhuang Zhan's brigade in the southern suburbs of the city

In addition, I brought all the ladies, Bao Xing, Shanghu, Yu Gongyang, Yu Dingdao and 30 Tie Yong into the city and went all the way to Zhao's house

and go.

Zhao Wushi took the Zhao clan to greet him outside the house. Zhao Wushi said, "My father has been waiting for more than ten times when he heard that Uncle Long was coming

Day, please go to see Longbo immediately. He also said to Meng Wangji, Chu Yueer and Miao Princess: "Wang Ji, two princesses, it's urgent

, I have no time to talk about it in detail." Naturally, everyone would not care. Wu Feng brought the women into the house, and Zhao Wuyu led them in a hurry

Going to the backyard and outside Zhao Yang's bedroom, Wu Feng saw Tian Yaner crying with red and swollen eyes and waiting outside.

Wu Feng said, "Yan'er, what's wrong with the old general?"

When Tian Yaner saw him, her eyes lit up and bowed her head and said, "Long Bo, my father is waiting to see you."

Wu Feng let the women wait outside and entered the room with Zhao Wujian. He saw Zhao Yang lying in bed** with his eyes closed, with a thin face.

The cheekbones are towering, and there is no previous refined wisdom.

Wu Feng has always respected the old man in his heart and whispered, "Old General, the younger Wu Feng came to see you."

Zhao Yang slowly opened his eyes. With a happy face, he said, "Long...bo..." He looked at Zhao Wuzhe and tried to lift it

The hand pointed to the door, which meant to let Zhao Wuzhe go out first.

Zhao Wubian said, "Father, is it okay to let the child serve the marquis?"

Zhao Yang's eyes showed displeasure and still pointed to the door.

Zhao Wuqi sighed and retreated to the door.

Zhao Yang stared at Wu Feng and said, "Dai...Dai..." The following words could not be said. Wu Feng asked:

"Dai Guo?"

Zhao Yang nodded reluctantly and said, "Fly...Fly..." Wu Feng said, "Fly? Oh, do you mean Miss?

Zhao Yang's eyes were very eager and said, "Nine...Nine..." Wu Feng said in astonishment, "Master Jiu? Or..."

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps, and Zhao Wuzian came in again. Zhao Yang's voice swam a trace of breath, as if he sighed and seemed to

He had something to say, but he grabbed Wu Feng's hand and couldn't help closing his mouth. He couldn't say a word and finally closed his eyes and passed away.

Zhao Wuzhao grabbed it and said, "Father!" Crying loudly, the people outside the room immediately cried loudly, and Wu Feng's heart was very hurt

The feeling gently broke away Zhao Yang and grabbed his hand tightly.

Zhao Wuzhan cried for a while, stood up and said, "Yan'er! Xiao Zhou!"

Tian Yaner and Zhao Zhou came in from outside, and Zhao Wutian said, "It's mourning! Yan'er took Longbo and the others to rest, Xiao Zhou,

You go to the country to inform your sister and husband in person.

Zhao Zhou hurried out, and Tian Yaner choked and said to Wu Feng, "Long Bo, please come with Yan'er."

Wu Feng knew that Zhao Yang's new bereavement, and the Zhao family must be busy. He is an outsider, so naturally he has to avoid it.

Tian Yaner called Tian Li and more than ten maids, took Wu Feng and his wives out of the house, and also called Bao Xing outside the house

and others went to Zhao Feiyu's old house where Wu Feng lived in Jiangdu before and settled for temporary residence. Tian Yaner took out Zhao's

again

The arrow asked Tian Li to bring Wu Feng's car parked outside the city to the house.

Wu Feng asked, "I haven't seen you for more than two years. How's Yan'er?"

Tian Yaner was stunned and nodded, "It's okay." As he spoke, he burst into tears again.

Wu Feng whispered, "I have sent someone to send Hengshan to Huacheng, safe and sound."

Tian Yaner knew that he was talking about the child Tian Bai and nodded slowly.

Princess Miao said, "Yan'er, if someone bullies you, you might as well tell your husband that we will stand out for you."

Tian Yaner nodded, shook her head again and said, "Thank you very much."

Chu Yueer sighed: "The old general's new funeral, Yan'er has her own busyness. Yan'er, go to work first. If you have something to say, let Tian Li tell you

It's done."

Tian Yaner nodded and said, "Yes. Yan'er went first. You can rest first.

After Tian Yaner left, Wu Feng thought about Zhao Yang's dying words and wondered what he meant.

What does

mean?

When Meng Wangji saw him distracted, he asked, "What did the old general say to his husband?"

Wu Feng sighed: "The old general was speechless. He only said 'generation', 'fly' and 'nine' numbers. I guess he 'generation'

It means Daiguo, and 'Fly' means Miss Zhao. I don't know what it means. Is it Zhao Zhou, the ninth young master?

Chu Yueer said, "The old general doesn't seem to have a special preference for the ninth young master. Do you have to save Miss Zhao?"

Princess Miao shook her head and said, "The Zhao family is powerful. If it is the same country, even if Miss Zhao is in trouble, the Zhao family is enough to save her.

Do you take action? Besides, Miss Zhao is now the queen of a country. She is extremely powerful. What's the difficulty?

Meng Wangji muttered: "I have heard for a long time that Zhao has no mercy to destroy the generation. Could it be that Zhao Yang is afraid that the Zhao family will attack the generation, and the generation will anger Zhao

Miss?"

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "The old general's new funeral, Zhao Wu has been guarding the funeral for three years. How can he send troops? Not to mention Zhao and

If the country is like a brother and helps each other, why destroy it? But..." He suddenly remembered that Zhiyao had told him about Zhao Wang

I was worried about whether it was true or not, and I had to ask Tian Li for a while.

Wu Feng and Meng Wang Ji discussed the matter of entering the palace to meet Jin Dinggong the next day. Zhuang Zhan's deer was led by Tian Li and led the brigade

The horse entered the house and settled down separately.

At this time, Zhao Wushi sent many maids to prepare dishes and wine, and sent a message to Tian Li to entertain everyone on behalf of Zhao.

Although Zhao Yang's new funeral, Zhao Wusi's courtesy is not lacking at all.

Tian Li was busy for a long time and didn't have time until after dinner. Then he greeted Wu Feng and his ladies again.

Wu Feng asked, "Brother Tian, is Yaner okay in Zhao's mansion?"

Tian Li said, "It's not bad. The old general and all the people in the house are very good to her."

Wu Feng nodded and said, "I'm relieved."

Princess Miao said, "The key is whether Zhao Wut-shirt is good for Yan'er?"

Tian Li said, "My uncle is also good to the fourth lady, and he is usually very polite and modest. But..." Chu Yueer asked, "No

What has happened?

Tian Li smiled bitterly and said, "But the villain thinks that my uncle is too polite to the fourth lady."

Meng Wangji frowned and said, "This is a little strange. The couple are too polite, not a good thing."

Wu Feng smiled and said, "It seems that I should be rude to Wang Ji. No wonder I was polite to Wang Ji before, Wang Ji

But he didn't pay attention to me. Later, I was careless and unreasonable, but I could win Wang Ji's favor.

When Meng Wangji saw that he pulled him again, he said an anx, "Humph, what did this man say?"

Princess Miao sighed: "My husband has always been rude to me and Yue'er. I have never seen my husband polite to me since I was a child.

I always envy my husband's special difference to Wang Ji!"

Chu Yueer smiled and said, "That's right."

Meng Wangji couldn't laugh or cry, sighed and shook her head.

Wu Feng smiled for a while and said with a serious look, "Actually, Wang Ji is right. The two couples are too polite, and there must be inside

hidden feelings."

Chu Yueer said, "Yes, General Zhao looks very gentle and polite, but Yueer felt him from the first time she saw him

My heart is cold."

Princess Miao said, "I also think so when Yueer said this. This may be due to General Zhao's personality, in his heart

It's not necessarily bad for Yan'er.

Meng Wangji said, "We don't guess much about the other two couples. I think the fourth lady has a very good relationship with her husband.

If she is really wronged, she will definitely tell her husband.

When she said the words "exquisite friendship", she glanced at Wu Feng with a smile. Wu Feng seems to hear the Dream King

Ji Yan pointed out something else, secretly smacking her tongue, and Tian Yaner's secret love for herself. In addition to Chu Yueer, even Princess Miao

may not be very clear. Wang Ji didn't know these things. Unexpectedly, this woman was careful and seemed to be able to see the clues.

Wu Feng saw that Wang Ji was still staring at him, and he said, "Brother Tian, what do you think in Jin?"

Tian Li said, "The villain is fine. Zhao Fu looks at the fourth lady and treats the villain very politely. Master Jiu

Sometimes I find villains to drink with me. It's just that the villain always feels like a guest and wants to contribute to the Zhao family. These days, my uncle is secretly

In the middle, people were dispatched to prevent the three families of wisdom, Han and Wei. Everyone was busy, but the villain was idle and boring.

Wu Feng said, "This is not necessarily because Zhao doesn't trust you, but that you are a member of the Qi Guotian family. There are some things that can't be done

will let you know. Yes, what is the inside story of Zhao Wang's death?

Tian Li was stunned and sighed, "It's hard to say, but the villain guessed that this must have something to do with the young master without mercy."

While talking, a Zhao family hurried to say, "The king has passed away."

Wu Feng and others were shocked and think that this matter was a little evil. In one day, the State of Jin lost both the Lord and the king.

Unless it is a death in battle, it is rare for monarchs and ministers to lose together within a day.

After Tian Li hurriedly left, Wu Feng and others went to rest and said nothing all night. The next day, Wu Feng took his seven women to the public palace to worship

Jin Dinggong, Zhi, Zhao, Han and Wei Siqing discussed overnight and appointed Ji, the son of Jin Dinggong, as the king, for the Duke of Jin. Wu

After Feng and others met Jin, they went to Zhao's mansion to offer sacrifices. It was already noon. Zhao Yang has already pretended to be, nickname

is "Jian", so later generations call it Zhao Jianzi. Wu Feng and others sacrificed according to the ceremony. They have a special status, including the count,

Wang Ji and the princess sacrificed only according to the rites of the younger generation. After sacrificing, they returned to the house and were not allowed to go out lightly.

The people in Jiangdu City were panicked and slightly confused. Wu Feng knew that it was the easiest thing to happen at this time, and he was in Jiang

All of them need to be very careful.

In the evening, Zhiyao, Han Hu and Wei Yu actually came to visit together, and inevitably there were many polite things. But everyone knows him

I don't dare to talk too deeply when I have a good relationship with Zhao. What's more, Jiangdu is at a time of eventfulness, and the three of them dare not stay for a long time. They just say

After a few words, he left after a few words.

Wu Feng sent them away, sighed and said, "This time really delayed the trip, if it's just the old general

's mourning will be done again on the seventh day, but Jinjun's mourning will at least make us delay it for a few days.

Meng Wangji shook her head and said, "This is also a helpless thing. Who made us catch up?"

Wu Feng called Zhuang Zhan and other family ministers and said, "The four families in the State of Jin are in politics. At present, the new funeral of the Marquis of Jin and Old General Zhao,

We don't know what will happen. We happen to be there and can't be prevented. But it's not that the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, small battles,

Little deer, you place the armored soldiers, guard the house, don't leave the house easily every day, and arrange the warriors to rotate.

Meng Wangji said, "My husband is careful. It's best to be careful."

Wu Jin came forward with Wushui, Wutu, Wuhuo and Wumu, and said, "Longbo, in recent years, we have been a long guard

Yi failed to make contributions to Longbo. At present, this matter will be handed over to 45 of us. These 45 escapees

It can be similar to Tie Yong. Although it is not as good as Tie Yong, he is best at lurking and pruling. Wu Feng knows his ability and nod

said, "Well, you will be on duty in five shifts in the evening, a total of five hours, and then go to bed during the day."
