Chapter 40 King Qi Agrees to the Marriage

When the Queen said this, the King of Qi was stunned. After a while, he said, "What does Queen Mother mean?"

That is, the king said this later. If others dared to say this, the King of Qi would have cursed him long ago.

The queen's beautiful big eyes slowly turned, revealing the light of wisdom, and said, "King, why did Wan'er go to Zhao State for?

It is to build a good Zhao State and prevent Zhao State from pursuing our Qi State, right?"

The King of Qi's face looked a little ugly, but he nodded.

Qi was originally a first-class power among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but when the five countries attacked Qi more than 20 years ago, Le Yi of Yan State conquered more than 70 cities, leaving only two lonely cities, Jimo and Jucheng. If Tian Dan had not saved the country in danger, Qi would have perished at that time.

Since then, Qi State has been severely damaged and has become a second-rate country. Although it has not recovered after so many years of rest and recuperation, the war with Zhao State has been defeated continuously in recent years. Therefore, Tian Wan has to go to Zhao State to marry relatives, hoping to stop the war with Zhao State.

The queen said, "Wan'er has been to Zhao State for a while, but King Zhao has not agreed to this marriage for a long time, which means that King Zhao certainly does not want to marry our Qi State.

But Zhao Kuo is different. Zhao Kuo is now the Grand Marshal of Zhao State and a veritable important minister of Zhao State. If Wan'er can marry Zhao Kuo, she can influence King Zhao through Zhao Kuo and play a role in getting along with each other.

Isn’t this the result that the king wants to see?”

When the King of Qi heard this, he was speechless.

Several ministers of Qi State present thought about it carefully and thought that the queen's words were very reasonable and they all agreed.

Especially the Prime Minister of Qi, Housheng, strongly agreed with the Queen's opinion. The reason is very simple, because Housheng is the Queen's younger brother.

After being said this, the King of Qi began to be shaken and couldn't help but say, "But who can guarantee that Zhao Kuo will definitely speak for us Zhao State after marrying Sister Wan?"

The queen smiled slightly, took out a piece of silk paper from her sleeve, and said, "This is a letter written by Wan'er, and the king will know after reading it."

King Qi took the letter and looked at it, and his face became strange: "Sister Wan... actually saved Zhao Kuo's life and fell in love with Zhao Kuo?"

If the handwriting on this letter was not the same as that on Tian Wan, King Qi really doubted whether this letter was compiled by a third-rate novelist.

The queen sighed and said, "King, when Qi was attacked by Yan State and princes, your father was afraid that others would recognize his prince's identity and changed his appearance and entered the old woman's house to be a servant. At that time, the old woman did not know your father's true identity, but she still recognized him and would not marry him... This is love."

Although the Queen's words sounded a little confused, the King of Qi still understood them.

King Qi was silent for a long time and sighed: "Forget it, since my mother said so, what else can I say?

Let Wanmei marry her love, and hope she can have a good result.

By the way, the envoy of King Zhao also said that he would convene a vassal in Handan, so I would go to Handan to participate in this vassal and send a marriage to Wanmei."

...Handan, Qi State Inn.

"Zhao Kuo, do you think my brother Wang really agree to the marriage between us?"

Tian Wan's delicate and fair arms supported her pretty face, and a bit of sadness flashed through her eyes in her eyes in seconds.

Although it is said that they cannot meet before getting married, the two have just confirmed that their relationship is in love. At this time, the couple will not meet for a day, as if they have three autumns. How can they wait for that time?

Zhao Kuo is now running to the Guanshi every day, and Tian Sixing no longer makes any stops. However, every time he sees Zhao Kuo, he still looks complicated and wants to thank Zhao Kuo several times, but he still doesn't say it out in the end.

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan intently, feeling that the face of the sweetheart in front of him could not be seen enough, and he wanted to stay together all the time. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, whether from emotion or reason, your brother Wang will marry you to me."

Tian Wan's cheeks turned red and she whispered: "Did you know again?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "From an emotional perspective, you will not marry me, and I will not marry me if I do not marry you.

From a rational point of view, the King of Qi knew that our king of Zhao would never marry Qi, so he either didn't marry you. If he wanted to marry, marrying me, a virtuous official in Zhao, would be the best choice."

Tian Wan shook her head and said, "I know all the truths you said, but I... I'm still a little worried after all."

"There is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "I'm here, Wan'er."

This was obviously a love word that was so rustic, but for some reason it came out of Zhao Kuo's mouth, and Tian Wan felt as sweet as honey.

Like glue and paint, like sugar and honey.

This is love.

Zhao Kuo returned home with joy, looking forward to another day of reunion.

Xu Li's sudden appearance scared Zhao Kuo: "If you don't recover from your injuries, why are you here for?"

At this time, Xu Li was wearing bandages all over his body, and was carried over by two servants. If he was covered with straw mats, the story of an injustice nobleman beating his retainer to death would be freshly released.

Xu Li's spirit seemed to have improved a lot. According to the doctor, he could get up and walk in another month and recover in about half a year.

Xu Li smiled bitterly and said, "Master, if it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't have been so hasty."

Zhao Kuo asked someone to carry Xu Li into his room and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Li said: "Master, I heard that you are about to marry the Princess of Qi?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said complacently: "That's right."

Xu Li's face suddenly became a little weird and asked, "Will the future wife have a lot of dowry?"

Zhao Kuo said: "How could I know about this? Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Xu Liqiqiai Ai for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "It's such a lord. Our mansion... is almost out of money."

"ha?"

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth wide in surprise: "No money?

How is this possible?”

As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo's ideas are actually very simple.

I've become such a high official, but you actually told me that I have no money?

This is not a joke.

Xu Li spread his hands and said, "Master, we are not the time for you to live.

The land and property that the Lord rewarded when he was alive was taken back when he died.”

Zhao Kuo said: "Of course I know this, but didn't the king also reward me with a lot of land and money?"

Xu Li said: "These money, Mrs. Zhao (Mrs. Zhao) have already used it to reward the retainers and soldiers who went to war with you this time.

Originally, there were still 5,000 acres of land left in the mansion, but this year the harvest is not good, it will be enough. The fields that the king rewards you have just been harvested, and at least it will take next year to get an investment.

There is also a cloth shop and a smelting shop in the Dafu, but the income this year is relatively average.

In addition, the daily maintenance of the five hundred soldiers in the mansion, the pension of the twenty guards who died in the assassination, the daily renovation of the mansion, the daily use of thousands of people in the mansion, and the maintenance of your cars, horses, and weapons. This has not included the huge expenses for you to hold a wedding soon..." "Stop and stop!"

Zhao Kuo had a headache and interrupted Xu Li's words.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive your food and rice are. Zhao Kuo deeply understands the meaning of this sentence.
