I’m The King Chapter 1278: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and sixty-eight) marriage

The three kingdoms of Han, Chu, and Qin are located in the east, west, and south, and each occupies a different place. The architectural styles are quite different, but the place where the supreme ruler of a country lives and works naturally reflects the architectural style of the country. The highest level and aesthetic concept, of course, the place where King Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty lives is obviously not like this anymore. Most of the original magnificent palace has now become the offices of various ministries, and the part occupied by the majestic Han King Even though he might not be as good as any other wealthy businessman in the country, Qin Chu was still the same.

The architectural style of Qin State is majestic and majestic, while the architectural style of Chu State is as delicate and graceful as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The Chu Palace is the largest garden building in the territory of Dachu. The palace complex is hidden among the lush flowers and trees. Walking among them is like walking in a fairyland.

Passing through the nine winding corridors, the colorful pebble path (pig-pig-island) novel.zud. Walking all the way inward, a huge lake appeared in front of it, and the lotus leaves almost covered the entire lake. Stay, red, pink, and white lotus flowers protrude from a piece of green, gently swaying gracefully in the wind, a small bridge connects a water pavilion to the shore, and the toga King Huai of Chu was leaning on the fence of the water pavilion, holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other, drinking lightly.

For the state of Chu, King Huai of Chu is not considered a good king, but for Huang Xie, he is. In the huge state of Chu, all the political affairs are handed over to Huang Xie, and all the military affairs are given to Huang Xie. Qu Zhong, the king, the best thing is wine and beauty.

But is he stupid? No, in Huang Xie's opinion, this is the smartest part of his king. King Huai of Chu can't be regarded as a wise king, his talents are mediocre, and his behavior is extremely mediocre. All the shortcomings are self-knowledge. Know that you are not capable enough. Then leave the matter to someone who has enough ability to do it. This is the brilliance of King Huai of Chu.

Now that the state of Qin is crumbling, but the state of Chu still maintains a strong national strength, it cannot but be said that there is no credit for King Huai of Chu. Stability is the greatest benefit this king has brought to the state of Chu.

Huang Xie stepped on the small bridge, and it was Princess Shuyu who walked in front of her. This princess is unfortunate. Her experience in Yan Kingdom can be described as a nightmare. After returning home. After several years of recuperation, the whole person has recovered. It seems that Princess Shuyu has always been here to accompany the king. Out of guilt for Princess Shuyu, King Huai of Chu has always cared and loved this daughter very much.

Huang Xie turned to one side and bowed slightly to Princess Shuyu.

"Princess!"

There was a smile on Shuyu Gongyu's face, and there was even a little blush, which made Huang Xie a little puzzled.

"Shoufu lord, my father is discussing state affairs with you. Shuyu is leaving." He bowed down and gave Huang Xie a blessing, and took the two maids with him, and walked away gracefully all the way, submerging behind the flowers and plants not far away. Yu only gave Huang Xie a back view.

"The chief assistant is here, come here quickly, this is a new song just composed by the musicians in the palace, it's refreshing. It's refreshing!" Among the waterside pavilions, King Huai of Chu raised his wine glass to Huang Xie and shouted loudly.

"I have seen the king!" Huang Xie walked in quickly. He bowed deeply to King Huai of Chu.

"Sit down, sit down." King Huai of Chu waved his hand, "Your eyes are swollen and your eye circles are black, did you stay up all night again yesterday, the first assistant is my thigh, but you have to take care of yourself." /

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Huang Xie smiled and said, "Shu Cheng came back from Jiangnan yesterday, so we talked with him for a long time, and I forgot the time." table, "Has the king summoned anyone else?"

"Oh, it's Qu Taiwei." Chu Huai said kingly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and sat up slightly, "Did Shu Cheng come back last night? How is the Jiangnan matter handled?"

Hearing that it was Qu Zhong, Huang Xie nodded slightly. It seems that the king must have something to do when he invited him into the palace today, otherwise he would not have summoned himself and Qu Zhong at the same time.

"The riots in the south of the Yangtze River have subsided, but the crux of the problem is that the silk weavers have lost their source of income, so to eradicate this, we can only find a way from this. The bridge-building incident reported to the king two days ago, I'm going to put it in the south of the Yangtze River first, to build bridges and pave roads, which will require a lot of labor, which can alleviate this contradiction to some extent, as long as there is food to eat, I believe these people will not make trouble again."

"Yeah, yeah, who would take the risk of beheading and cause trouble if they can eat enough? Jiangnan has always been peaceful, but troubles have occurred frequently in the past two years. The chief assistant should worry a lot. I heard that there is something wrong here. The shadow of the Han people?"

Huang Xie was slightly stunned, it seems that Zhao Shucheng should have handed over the paperwork to the palace as soon as he came back yesterday, otherwise the king would not know about this matter, at this time the king said it lightly, but what he meant was a warning to himself But it is self-explanatory. The silk weaving industry, this is the core of the Huang family.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle it well." Huang Xie bowed.

"Han people always have countless kinds of whimsical ideas. It is said that a bridge made of reinforced concrete can last for a hundred years without decay. It is once and for all." King Huai of Chu sighed: "I heard that the roads in the country of Han They are all paved with cement, not afraid of rain and snow, and not suffering from mud, when will I be able to do the same?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we have spent millions of taels to buy bridge-building technology and cement formula from the Han people. In the next year, our country will be able to harden the major traffic arteries with this cement like the Han Dynasty."

"Millions of taels of silver!" King Huai of Chu was taken aback, "So much?"

"It's not all silver. Most of it is deducted from goods and customs duties." Huang Xie said with a slight smile.

"Oh, that's how it is. The Han people have always been cunning in doing business, and the chief assistant has to be careful."

"Although the Han people are treacherous, they are also honest when doing business. Integrity prevails in the world. This is the creed of their Han businessmen. I firmly believe in this. Either they will not do business with you, but with you. If we do it, it will be a win-win situation, otherwise the Han merchants will not be famous all over the world." Huang Xie explained.

"Speaking of the Han Kingdom, I still have one more thing to worry about. I need to ask Mr. Shoufu to worry about it." Picking up the wine glass again, King Huai of Chu had a rare sad look on his face.

"I don't know if there is anything on the king that I need to help you relieve your worries?" Huang Xie was a little surprised.

"Just now you saw Shuyu, this is a child with a hard life. After returning to China, I also want to find her a good son-in-law again, but she always refuses without a bid. Where did her mother get a little breath, it turns out that this child has a lover, but guess who this person is?"

Thinking in Huang Xie's mind turned, "Your Majesty, is this person not from my Great Chu?"

"The first assistant is really clever, to the point, this is what troubles me, who is your Dao Shuyu looking at? It's the iron-footed general of the big man, the infantry."

"Infantry?" Huang Xie quickly recalled the information about this person in his mind, but he couldn't remember much. He was focused on political affairs, but he didn't know much about Han's military system.

There was the sound of heavy footsteps, Huang Xie raised his head, and saw Qu Zhong, the Great Chu Taiwei, coming at a galloping pace. Although the weather was hot, this Taiwei was still dressed meticulously.

"Infantry?" Qu Zhong was as surprised as Huang Xie, but he knew much more about infantry. "This man is one of Gao Yuan's important generals. I am afraid that no one in the world can match it, but he is disabled and has a broken foot. The skilled craftsman of the Han people made an iron foot for him. Now he is the commander of the Ninth Army of the First Military Region of the Han Dynasty. By the way, Princess Shuyu Since returning from Yan Kingdom, he was escorted all the way back by this iron-footed general, and the king said that Princess Shuyu fell in love with him, so maybe something happened along the way?"

When Qu Zhong said this, Huang Xie finally remembered, and suddenly understood: "At that time, the princess was severely injured, physically and mentally decadent, and the infantry escorted the princess all the way from Jicheng to Yingcheng. The princess has had a lot of contact with him, so it's no wonder that the princess never forgets him, at that time, the princess needed comfort from someone."

"Although Han and Chu do not meet each other in battle and have frequent economic exchanges, they are still in a hostile state on the whole. I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult!" Huang Xie said: "And how is the infantry now~ IndoMTL.com~We don’t even know if we’re already married? If we rush to propose marriage, it’s not good to make a joke.”

"That's why I'm very troubled, Huang Shoufu, you can deal with this matter first. Inquire about the situation of this infantryman first. It's not good for this child, Shuyu, to like someone. He prefers a Han Chinese, or a Han Chinese with a disability!" Chuhuai Wang Qilinlin authentic.

"Your Majesty, although this infantryman is disabled, he is a tough man." Qu Zhong suddenly interjected, although he is an enemy, Qu Zhong still admires such an enemy, "This man Loyalty is unparalleled, and the disability was left behind to cover Gao Yuan's escape, regardless of the position, if the princess can really betroth this person, it will be a good match."

"It's not just a good match. The relationship between Chu and Han is tense now. If this marriage is achieved, it can ease the relationship between the two countries and buy us more time." Huang Xie also nodded. road.

"What if the two countries go to war in the future?" King Huai of Chu said coldly: "Wouldn't that put Shuyu in the same situation as before, Shoufu, I mean, you go and ask, and then Find a way to make Shuyu die."

Huang Xie was stunned and glanced at Qu Zhong, only to see him lower his head with a smile. (to be continued...)
