Dingyang, the capital of the State of Zhao, a convoy of chariots passed through the streets and drove towards the palace. The soldiers guarding the front and rear lined up neatly, all of them in bright uniforms and in high spirits.
"Who is so grand?" A diner in the restaurant looked away and asked the waiter who served the food.
"My guest has just arrived in Dingyang. This is Military Advisor Jing Hui who was personally invited by the King. He holds the seal of Military Advisor and is granted the title of Marquis of Jingping. He is a first-class Marquis!" The waiter in the shop clicked his tongue and looked at the car driving away.
A look of envy appeared on Zhan's face.
"Oh? No wonder he's so impressive. Have you heard of this Military Advisor Jing before? What's his background?" the diner asked his friend at the same table. The man shook his head, and both of them turned to the waiter.
The waiter looked slightly proud and said with a smile: "When it comes to this military advisor, not many people know about it. I just know a little bit about it."
"Second Brother, why don't you sit down and drink a few bottles and talk to us."
"No, no, no, this little guy can't afford it." The waiter waved his hand and declined. In fact, he had only heard a little about Jing Huan's background in the past few days, and his knowledge was limited.
Now that the guest asked, the waiter was happy to take a moment and said with joy: "Speaking of this military advisor, he really has a great background. I wonder if you two guests know who the previous military advisor was?"
"Although we outsiders are not as well-informed as the people in Dingyang, our brothers also often travel abroad. If the news we heard is not bad, the one before us should be Shi Langshi's military advisor."
"Exactly! The guest officer is really a well-informed person! The military advisor of the time has only been in office for a year and a half, and many people in Dingyang City still don't have this knowledge." The waiter in the shop is very skillful in complimenting people, with that look on his face
, the tone of which made the two diners very happy. However, his compliment was not an exaggeration. In this era, the people's sources of information were limited, and not many Zhao people knew that Shi Lang had been a military advisor.
Seeing a guest officer frowning slightly, the waiter said quickly: "Sir, please don't think that I am verbose. To understand clearly the background of Military Advisor Jing, we have to start with Military Advisor Shi. These two military advisors are very good."
There is some connection."
"Oh? Then please tell me, what's the origin?" The guest officer became more and more interested.
"Do you know why Military Advisor Shi resigned and where he is now?" the waiter asked in a low voice.
"We have heard all this, just talk about Commander Jing." A diner nodded and smiled.
The waiter in the shop was a little disappointed, but he quickly went on to say with joy: "You two are really knowledgeable. I'll put it in a nutshell. The ability of a military advisor is inherited from the family, and the teacher is the father. You two must also know it.
Well, this military advisor Jing’s mentor happened to be a senior brother with Military Advisor Shi’s father. As for who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother, I don’t know. This is the origin between the two military advisors I just mentioned!
"
After hearing this, the two diners both showed such sudden expressions, and one of them immediately frowned and said: "The father of Military Master Shi is a great hermit in the world, and he is famous all over the world. I don't know who Master Jing's Master is, and I think his reputation is not small."
, I hope my second brother can give me some advice."
The waiter Erdui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you really asked. Not only do you know this, but even if you ask all over Dingyang City, no one will know about it. My Majesty, I wonder why the father of Military Advisor Shi is so famous all over the world? Then
It is because he compiled three famous works: National Theory, Civil Theory, and Military Theory. Who knew who he was before these three famous works were circulated? There have always been few disciples of the Yin family who are famous throughout the world. Jing Junshi’s mentor
It is reasonable that his name, talent and knowledge are not known to the world."
"That's true, but there is one thing I don't understand. The Yin family emphasizes escaping from the world. When three famous works were inadvertently leaked, the hermit became famous for a while. This was fine, but why did the next generation of disciples not follow suit?
What if he became an official and became a military advisor? Could it be that the Yin family has changed their rules now?" A diner asked in confusion.
"My guest, I don't know something. The military advisor of Shi has had the ambition to serve the country since he was a child. It is because of the rules of the Yin family that he does not want to become a disciple of the Yin family. Shi Yinshi is a sensible person, so naturally he will not be too
Too much pressure, as for whether Military Master Jing is a disciple of the Yin family..., haha, no one knows." It is not clear whether Military Master Jing is a disciple of the Yin family. For the waiter in the store, who likes to show off through hearsay, it is indeed a problem.
It was a great regret that in order to maintain his sense of superiority as a Dingyang native in front of outsiders, he continued without waiting for the two guest officers to ask: "There is something that the two guest officers probably don't know. This is Military Advisor Jing."
Ah, in fact, he became an official more than a year earlier than Shi's military advisor. He served as a counselor under a general. For some reason, he remained unknown and was not reused by the court. When Shi's military advisor took office, he resigned from his post.
The king suddenly re-employed him this time because he happened to see several memorials that he had submitted when he was a counselor. Now it seems that the judgments about the war situation and situation at that time in those memorials are all fulfilled. What a pity.
Those memorials have never been opened before."
The two diners couldn't help but sigh.
The waiter's face brightened, and he spoke more passionately: "I heard someone tell me about the contents of one of the memorials. At that time..."
Just as he said this, the shopkeeper's voice sounded outside the private room: "Xiao Shun! Xiao Shun!"
When the waiter heard this, he hurriedly stopped talking, smiled apologetically at the two diners, agreed repeatedly and hurried out.
In the palace, Zhao Min frowned slightly in the Yisi Pavilion. After hearing the report from the chamberlain that the military advisor had arrived, he hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him. He took his hand without waiting for Jing Hui to salute, and said with a friendly smile: "There is no need to be polite, military advisor, come here."
Come."
Jing Huan is in his early forties, with a medium build, fair face and beautiful beard. What is strange about his eyes is that his left eye is bright and bright, but his right eye is always slightly closed. This must be a natural defect.
"The king has summoned his ministers. Could it be that another envoy from the State of Yi has arrived?" Jing Huan asked with a smile after sitting at the table.
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The military advisor guessed it right. Alas, this He Ran sent envoys one after another to urge us to send troops to submit to the country. The journey is considered short. He only goes back and forth every three to five days. He really doesn't mind the trouble.
ah."
Jing Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Commander He is really affectionate and righteous to the Kang State. He must have gotten the news when we mobilized troops to start a war with the Kang State. He is putting out a fire on the other side of the mountain."
The rebellion of Zhao Quinone has not yet been settled, which involves most of the troops of Zhao State. If we send troops to attack Shun State at this time, the country will be really empty. If Kang State comes to attack in a large scale, they will not be able to defend themselves.
Both of them are cautious people. Although Ju Ran was bribed with a large amount of money, it is said that there will be no war there, but a certain amount of room for maneuver must be left in handling military and national affairs. The troops cannot be used to the limit. Who can guarantee that Mo Ju will not
Ju Ran will be overthrown suddenly. If that happens one day, the situation will change immediately, and Zhao will be in a dangerous situation again.
"Oh, it's strange that I made too many promises to He Ran in order to save the current urgent situation, and even let him collect debts like this now." Zhao Min couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Jing Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be too worried. Your Majesty will just explain to the envoy that we have stopped fighting with Kang State and made peace. Then He Ran will feel relieved. He is so anxious to urge us to fight as promised."
Shun Guo is just to help Kang Guo. Now that Kang Guo is fine, he won't press so hard. I have some understanding of Commander He's lazy temperament, and I think the king also knows this."
Talking about He Ran's laziness, Zhao Min smiled and said: "Fortunately, he has such a temperament, otherwise we would be a hundred times more worried than we are now." At this point, his smile gradually faded away, and he felt unwilling to do so.
He continued: "This He Ran is really adding to the chaos. Mo Ju has lost power, and Kang State is now led by a bunch of idiots. Although we have a rebellion that has not yet been put down, we have hired wizards like military advisors to defeat idiots with wizards.
Why should we be so invincible with so few soldiers? It’s really a God-given opportunity to open up new territories and expand our territory. It’s a pity that He Ran has ruined it all.”
Jing Huan smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. According to my opinion, I can't think of any way to turn things over for Mo Ju. As long as Ju Ran and his group can gain a firm foothold, when will we go there?"
It's the right time to attack the capital of Kang, and it's hard to say how long Mo Ju can survive under the eyes of these people."
Hearing this, Zhao Min raised his eyebrows with joy and said: "I feel relieved when the military advisor says this. Hahaha, as long as we calm down the civil strife in time, the country will have no worries. Then with the assistance of the military advisor, the few will be able to dominate the world's princes!"
"
Jing Huan smiled and said a few words of humility, then frowned slightly and said, "What worries me most right now is the Yi State. Although this Yi State is small, it is really the bane of the world."
"What made the military advisor sigh so much?" Zhao Min leaned forward to listen.
Jing Huan narrowed his bright eyes and said slowly: "I heard someone say some time ago that someone was in Dingyang inquiring about the whereabouts of a princess from a foreign country."
"Oh, there is such a thing. I have heard reports. The last time the foreign troops invaded, it seemed that the princess was accompanying the army. She must have been captured by the Yi State."
"The king's prediction is correct. I have sent people to Yi State to find out clearly a few days ago. The princess is in Yi State. She was recognized as a adopted sister by King Yi and was named Princess Hebei. The people sent to find out more about it.
Come on, the princess had a close relationship with Tokiro, and there are rumors that Tokiro will marry the princess after the mourning period is over."
Zhao Min was a shrewd man. He understood immediately after hearing this and regretted: "I heard that someone didn't take it to heart at all when looking for this princess. This is really negligent. If Yi Guo and Fan Bang get married again,
Then He Ran is even more likely to get wind and rain."
"In those days, the fate of the country was critical, and the king had just succeeded to the throne. There were so many things on his mind that he could not take care of this matter." Jing Huan's words were very appropriate.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Min shot several cases at once and said with a change of expression: "No! It turns out it's for this!"
Jing Huan was startled and asked, "What is your Majesty referring to?"
