Chapter 385: Great Chu Specialty
What did you do?
That's a good question to ask.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said honestly: "Abduct you home, and through you, abduct your father to Chu State to be a general. The virtuous king will give me a duke, and he has discussed with me. You belong to me, your father belongs to him."
Hearing this, Long Binger immediately rolled Xu Qing's eyes: "You have a good idea."
Xu Qing shrugged and said, "So, keep a distance from me at all times, and don't be kidnapped by me."
Long Bing'er snorted disdainfully and said, "You think too highly of yourself."
Xu Qing sighed: "I can't help it, he is too good and handsome."
Long Binger: "not wanting face!"
Although Long Bing'er admits that the man in front of him is really good-looking, how can a man talk about his good looks?
cut……
Isn't it just that the food is better, the mahjong is more fun, the poetry is better, and the person looks better...
Thinking about it this way, this guy is really good...
Thinking of this, Long Binger looked at Xu Qing who was walking beside her.
It's a pity that I just don't know what the face is...
Xu Qing looked at her and said, "I'm going to lobby Zhao Guozheng, but you didn't think to tell your envoy not to be fooled by me?"
Long Bing'er said: "I am a general, what does the court affairs have to do with me? You can break up the alliance between Zhao Guo and Zhou Guo, that's your skill."
There is another point that she didn't say, because Long Bing'er always believed that the enemy of Zhao State was a foreign race in the southwestern part of Zhao State. Although she bowed her head to Zhao State now, it was bought with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.
It is equivalent to Zhao Guo losing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to support the enemy country!
If the emperor used the hundreds of thousands of taels to add weapons and train the formation, he might not be able to win with martial arts.
Every year, the strength of one's own army remains the same, but the opponent uses the silver of his own country to develop his own army, making himself stronger.
Sooner or later is a big problem!
There are still a lot of internal conflicts in Zhao State, and there is still a seemingly vassal state in the west watching over it.
Just thinking about the alliance invading other countries?
Moreover, Zhou Guo has not given any actual benefits to Zhao Guo, they are all talking about big cakes, and Zhao Huang is as if he really picked up the treasure.
One mouthful of the same spirit, one mouthful of brothers.
If it wasn't for the status of an emperor, Long Bing'er would have wanted to go up and slap that idiot in dragon robe twice.
Not long after, the two had arrived at the residence of the Zhao Guo Mission.
The envoy at the door looked at Long Binger, cupped his hands and said, "Master Deputy Envoy."
Long Bing'er looked at the envoy at the door and asked, "Is envoy Lu Zheng here?"
The messenger said: "Return to the deputy envoy, the envoy is in the room."
Long Binger nodded, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Come with me."
Xu Qing followed Long Binger into the courtyard, and Long Binger walked up to Zhao Guozheng's door and knocked on the door, saying, "Lu Zhengshi, the county uncle of Anding of Chu State, please see the envoy."
Zhao Guozheng said: "Uncle Anding? Please hurry up."
Long Binger looked at Xu Qing and said, "Just go in by yourself."
Xu Qing nodded and walked in. The two servants carrying the boxes and the box went in with him.
Long Binger who was standing outside was very curious. With his identity, even if he came by himself to make the adults meet him, why would he need to introduce himself?
What bad idea is this bad guy up to?
in the room
Lu Zhengshi looked at Xu Qing's cupped hands and said, "Why is the county uncle Anding coming here when he is free?"
Xu Qing asked the two servants to put down the box and let them go out.
After letting the two servants retreat, Xu Qing arched his cupped hands and said, "I have admired Lu Zhengshi for a long time, and I brought Lu Zhengshi some special products from Dachu, and I hope to accept it."
Peanut candy, rice paper, and toilet water are indeed special products of Dachu, and this one is the only one.
[Otherwise, what do you think is the special product of Dachu? Could it be that medicine? 】
...
What was originally just a simple sentence surprised Lu Zheng.
specialty?
He knows this very well.
In the State of Zhao, when giving gifts to Shangguan, it is inconvenient to say what is in it, so one will say: the special products of the hometown are not respectful, and I hope the adults will accept them with a smile.
Although it is said to be a specialty of my hometown, the gifts are often real gold, silver, emerald and agate.
How much silver must be filled in such a big box!
Anding county uncle is too generous, right?
But there was a guest here, so Lu Zhengshi couldn't wait to open the box right now, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Anding, please take a seat."
Then Lu Zhengshi ordered a young envoy next to him: "Go quickly and bring the tribute tea from His Majesty that I put in the cabinet, and brew it."
The young envoy said somewhat uncertainly: "My lord, you are reluctant to drink the tribute tea rewarded by His Majesty on weekdays, and use it to entertain guests..."
Lu Zhengshi immediately said angrily: "Could it be that Uncle Anding is an ordinary guest?! Hurry up and get it!"
Seeing Master Zhengshi's appearance, the young messenger knew that Master Zhengshi was serious this time, and hurried to get some tea.
Lu Zhengshi looked at Xu Qing who was sitting down and said with a smile: "The envoy is a little rude, and the county uncle of Anding laughed at him."
At this time, Lu Zhengshi was still complaining in his heart that the young envoy named Liu Zheng had no winks.
Didn’t you see this Anding County Bo carried a big box of “specialties”?
What is a box of tribute tea?
Soon the young envoy named Liu Zheng brought up the brewed hot tea, put the tea beside Xu Qing and Lu Zhengshi respectively, and then stood still beside Lu Zhengshi.
When Lu Zhengshi picked up the tea, there was a flash of pain in his eyes, but thinking of the reason why he couldn't bear to let the child be caught by the wolf, he still said: "Uncle An Ding, please use the tea."
Xu Qing took a sip of tea and said casually, "Good tea!"
Lu Zhengshi laughed and said, "The Uncle Anding is too famous."
With these words alone, Xu Qing's favorability towards Lu Zhengshi has risen to a higher level. Look at Zhao Guozheng, and then look at the virtuous king...
Tsk tsk, the difference.
Lu Zhengshi put down his tea and looked at Xu Qing, "I don't know what the county uncle Anding is doing here today?"
Xu Qing said: "I heard that Zhao Guo and Zhou Guo intend to form an alliance?"
Hearing this question, Lu Zhengshi was silent for a moment, and then said: "The matter of the court is not up to me as an emissary. If the county uncle of Anding came to lobby for your country and make Zhao and Zhou give up their alliance, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed."
Xu Qing looked at the tough Lu Zhengshi and said, "Lu Zhengshi misunderstood, I'm not here to be a lobbyist."
Lu Zhengshi asked curiously: "I'm not here to be a lobbyist, so why did the county uncle of Anding come here?"
Xu Qing said: "Talk about a business with Lu Zhengshi."
Lu Zheng envoy said: "I follow the law and strictly prohibit officials from engaging in business. It can't compare with the County Bo of Anding who is in charge of state business."
Xu Qing looked at Lu Zhengshi with a smile and said, "Then what if I'm talking about getting promoted and getting rich?"
When Lu Zhengshi heard this, he immediately looked serious and said: "I'm afraid that the county uncle of Anding has misjudged the person. I have been in office for six years. I have been a clean and honest official with a clean sleeve. Is it the kind of official who only serves the country and the people? A person seeking money? Liu Zheng, you have nothing to do here, so go down first."
