Chapter 103: Zhi Yao's Marriage

To be honest, there was no such bizarre thing as time travel. Zhiyao had no idea who Zhao Bolu was. She knew that Zhao Guanhe had heard that he established the three-part pattern of the Jin Kingdom.

Since there are historical events of three parts of the Jin Kingdom, even if a soul from modern times does not know how the Zhi family perished, it can at least be deduced that the Zhi family perished due to the internal fighting among the major families in the Jin State.

Just ask, how could Zhiyao, who knew the "ending", not have a sense of urgency and not race against time to develop herself.

Several friends agreed on a time and agreed that when Zhao Bolu returned in triumph, everyone would get together and celebrate for Zhao Bolu.

"I really don't know why Zhongjun Zuo sent Bolu to attack Yuan." Wei Ju looked confused.

Even if the Han family wants to move closer to the Lao Zhi family, some things cannot be made too obvious. As the heir apparent, Han Geng did not accompany him to the Lao Zhi family.

The Lao Wei family and the Lao Zhi family are now allies. Both parties are willing to maintain the alliance for a long time and have become very close in a short period of time.

So, Han Geng went back to his home, and Wei Ju followed Zhi Yao to Lao Zhi's house.

Because Wei Ju came over, Zhiyao had no way to go to Zhishuo to pay his respects immediately, so he just asked Taihu to report first.

Zhiyao already had two guesses about Zhao Yang sending Zhao Bolu to lead troops to attack "Yuan", but it was difficult to tell Wei Ju directly.

"We will attack Qi, capture the capital of Qi, and seize the ritual weapons, or that's exactly what happened." Zhiyao could only say this.

Wei Ju was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but said: "How can the Central Military Assistant not know that the attack on Qi was all the work of Yao?"

Regarding this point, Wei Ju honestly told Wei Chi, his father. Could it be that Zhao Bolu would take credit that did not belong to him?

Even if Zhao Bolu didn't say anything, Zhao's clan members and retainers were accompanying the army to Qi State. They shouldn't have concealed Zhao Yang's secrets, right?

Zhiyao couldn't show any signs that she was secretly spying on Zhao, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know."

No clan members or retainers should dare to deceive the family leader now, not only because the consequences would be disastrous if the matter was revealed, but also because their moral integrity would not allow them to do so.

Wei Ju said: "It is difficult to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince, Bolu should not make a mistake."

If the Zhao family members and retainers who accompanied him to Qi State united to deceive Zhao Yang in order to consolidate Zhao Bolu's position as the heir apparent, things would become very interesting.

Zhiyao took the initiative to change the topic and talked about the recent sharing of food between the Fan family and the Zhongxing family by the four high-ranking families.

"The army is stationed in Zheng, and Zheng is separated from Fan's city by a river. He may be timid, but his ambition is still there. If Fan's army gathers again, and Zheng's army comes to help, the battle will definitely be in 'Wen'." Wei Ju felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

It was easy to hide something, so when Zhiyao changed the subject, he talked about the current troubles facing the Wei family.

Big river? It’s the Yellow River. But right now, the plateau environment still maintains its original ecology. There is no large amount of sediment being washed away and rolling eastward, and the river water is at a very clear stage.

It was not difficult for Zheng Guo to rescue the cities that were still under the control of the Fan family. There was always a place to set up a pontoon bridge on the long river section. If you were brave enough, you could use the Zhou royal family to cross the river bridge from Mengjin to the north bank.

Zhiyao felt that it was reasonable for the Wei family to worry about Zheng Guo still stubbornly supporting the Fan family, but whether Zheng Guo sent troops or not depended on the other princes.

"Qi has established a new king. However, Qi Jun Tu has no prestige, and Tian Qi is still secretly stirring things up, so there will be civil strife in Qi. The Wei and I have an alliance, and the army has suffered heavy losses over the years. How can we dare to repeat it? Song may have spare strength.

, Without the strength of Qi and Wei, how can Zheng, Song and his troops dare to attack me." Zhiyao needed to respond to Wei Ju's initiative to talk about housework, and gave a clear explanation.

In terms of the international situation, the current situation is a very high-end analysis method, which made Wei Ju feel so mesmerized.

Zhiyao added: "The Song Dynasty's intention to annex Cao Cao is very clear. This time I have defeated the princes, so in order to annex Cao Cao, Song Dynasty will definitely ally with me again."

Wei Ju showed a slightly enlightened expression, as if he wanted to jump up from his seat, forced himself to sit down again, and said: "What can I do if Song Dynasty gives me a 'contribution'?"

The civil strife in the Jin Kingdom will definitely subside. It will take at least two or three years to completely eliminate the Fan and Zhonghang clans.

In other words, it will be two or three years before the Jin State wants to use high pressure to establish its hegemony.

In order to annex the Cao State, the Song State would definitely be soft on the Jin State, and would even give the Jin State a very generous protection fee because they wanted to get the Jin State's promise not to interfere.

Wei Ju asked whether Song State should successfully annex Cao State.

Zhiyao said with a smile: "This matter does not depend on you and me."

One of them is the crown prince, and the other is not even the crown prince. It has not yet been their turn to formulate policies for the Jin State.

This year (492 BC), Zhiyao is fifteen years old and Wei Ju is sixteen. The prerequisite for them to take power is that their grandfather or father is dead.

It's hard to say how many years will happen. Zhiyao doesn't know what Wei Ju thinks. Anyway, Zhiyao hopes that her grandfather can live a long life.

After listening to the explanation of the international situation, Wei Ju didn't know what his thoughts were. He patiently chatted with Zhiyao for a while, invited Zhiyao to visit the Wei family when he had time, and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Zhiyao, who had long felt impatient, was liberated and told Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan not to follow him, and walked eagerly to Zhisong's location.

When the grandfather and grandson were not living in the same place, they exchanged letters frequently.

Zhisong really wanted to hand over the knowledge he knew to Zhiyao, but he understood that Zhiyao could not be with him all the time. Since Lao Zhijia had paper that was convenient for writing, he would definitely use letters to teach.

On the one hand, Zhiyao exchanged knowledge with Zhisong through letters, and on the other hand, she could write a lot of trivial matters in life.

When the grandson tells his grandpa trivial matters, his grandpa will definitely not become impatient. On the contrary, he will watch with great interest.

When we were a little far away, it was hard to tell whether Zhizhu coughed too loudly or whether the sound transmission effect in the indoor corridor was better. Anyway, Zhixu speeded up her steps again when she heard the cough.

Because Zhiyao renovated the Zhi family's house in "Xintian", she was especially kind to Zhizhuo, the grandfather. The floors were replaced with cut and trimmed ones with very fine work. The main frame of the whole house was

It is also entirely made of wood, and even the doors and windows are covered with white paper.

Why not make tung oil? Nowadays, the tung oil used by Zhuxia is in the south, and the quantity is very rare. The princes of the Central Plains have not yet mastered the technology of making tung oil.

When they came to the door, the servants kneeling on both sides helped Zhiyao open the door. Then they put their upper bodies against their knees and bowed down to show their respect.

The door of the room is a style that can be pulled left and right, that is, a sliding door. Modern people would say it is a "Japanese" style. However, Zhuxia has been using this style of door since the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The change Zhiyao made was to stick white paper on the door frame, but there really weren't many other changes.

The windows in the room were closed, but because of the white paper taped on them, light could still shine into the room.

In the past, closing the windows would make the room dark, so if you wanted to get light, you had to turn on a lamp.

There are no candles now, and a kind of animal oil is used to light the lamps. Anyone who has smelled it knows how unpleasant the smell can be.

Zhizhuo's lungs were not good, so she not only controlled her diet, but also followed Zhiyao's advice and seldom stayed indoors to smell the smell of fat.

"Ancestor." Zhiyao stood outside the door and could see Zhizhuo who had become very thin. As her heart became sour, her nose also became sore, and her calling voice was a little trembling.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Ji Soo looked even older. He was half lying on a bed, enjoying the fan given by Ji Shen.

Zhiyao's energy was more normal. She pointed her bow towards Zhishen and said, "My dear, my lord."

Many time-travelers always have a sense of alienation towards their parents after time-traveling, and they are especially reluctant to kneel down.

Zhiyao also felt that sense of alienation at the beginning. In short, it was because carrying the memories of her previous life made it much harder to develop a close relationship with her new family than being like a blank piece of paper.

Human beings are made of flesh and blood, which is easier to be warmed than stones.

Zhi Yao, who has been very scheming since she was a child, really couldn't get close to Zhi Xiao. She knew that Zhi Yao fell in love with her more because she saw her own abilities. To some extent, she was more concerned about the future of the family; her father Zhishen did not.

With any utilitarianism or interest entanglement, he has doted on Zhiyao in every way since he was a child.

No matter what the reason is, how could Zhi Yao, who is not cold-blooded, not feel affection for Zhi Shuang and Zhishen?

As for her mother? Zhiyao has never seen her mother since she was sensible, but Zhishen's concubine and her lover have met a few times.

Zhisong and Zhishen, including the others, never mentioned Zhixiao and Zhiyao's biological mother. Zhiyao, who had too many things on her mind, didn't ask because she had never been in contact with her.

"Shen, tell Yao about the marriage." Zhishuang is prone to coughing when she talks too much.

Zhiyao was fully aware of this matter. When the grandfather and grandson wrote letters, it was Zhiyao who sought Zhiyao's opinion before finally choosing the candidate for his future wife.

It seems that Zhishen didn’t tell Zhishen about Zhiyao’s choice of wife?

"The Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Han family all have the intention of marrying each other. Your Excellency is very fond of the Zhao family's daughter Fen." Zhishen seemed to want to amuse his father Zhishuang, and said with a fake complaining tone and expression.

Then, Zhiyao’s wife will be Zhao Yang’s daughter.

At present, men are called by their surname instead of their surname, while women are called by their surname instead of their surname, and women use their surname before their given name.

Therefore, Zhiyao’s future wife is called Fenying.

The name Fen is a bit interesting, indicating that Fen Ying is a woman with her own fragrance.

Since Zhiyao's wife is Zhao Yang's daughter, their sect must have a legitimate daughter as a dowry.

If the Zhao family wanted to show some respect, or respond to the Zhi family's initiative to propose a marriage, they would not only have to carefully consider the candidate, but also the dowry should not be too stingy.

"The wedding can be decided first, and the crowning ceremony will be held..." Zhisong said and coughed again.

Zhi Yao took small steps to the side of the bed and patted Zhi Suo's back carefully.

"Marrying with the Zhao family is very good. It can avoid a lot of hostility and can also make other families slack off." Zhizhuang did not feel embarrassed at all by using his grandson's marriage to arrange some interests.

Likewise, Zhishen and Zhiyao would never feel anything was wrong.

Regardless of the size of the family, as long as you are a noble, whose marriage is due to the love of a man and a woman? What matters is that the marriage is of a well-matched family and can bring benefits.

As for why Zhiyao chose Zhao Yang’s daughter...
