Chapter 290 Autumn is strong and cool(1/2)

"Hahaha! Everyone! Let's drink this cup with me!"

On the high throne, the King of Jin stood with a big belly, holding a half-full horn cup in one hand and carrying the other behind him, smiling with pride.

"Here!"

The ministers raised their glasses and laughed, and they couldn't see each other's eyes.

If the king had dared to hold banquets as frequently as this fall in previous years, the courtiers would have scolded him so hard that he could not raise his head on the grounds of extravagance, but this year, no one did this.

Even if the reason for the banquet is that just a persimmon tree in the palace bears a lot of fruit this year, the King of Jin thinks this is a good omen, which means that the Jin Kingdom will usher in a great harvest next year.

The red persimmons are covered with a thin layer of fruit powder, piled in golden high-legged copper beans, and placed on the table, which is very gratifying.

Someone stared at the copper beans with drunken eyes and regretfully said, "Although the goldware is good, it still lacks a bit of elegance. Unfortunately, our Jin Dynasty does not produce lacquer and cannot make exquisite lacquerware. Otherwise, the persimmons will be very beautiful when using lacquer beans to hold these persimmons!"

The lacquerware is gorgeous, and it is also anti-worm-damaged, moisture-proof, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. In addition to the Chu people's favorites, nobles from all countries highly praised it.

Unfortunately, the craftsmanship is complicated, and it takes several years to make a lacquerware. The lacquer craftsman with superb skills is only available in the big families of Chu. The lacquerware produced every year is not enough for the Chu people themselves, so they rarely sell it to foreign countries!

Therefore, even the king of the Jin Kingdom would not be able to come up with a whole set of painted beans that are worthy of this size!

When the King of Jin just captured the 16 cities of Zheng State, he was in full swing. How could he hear such picky words?

He couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself, this person is so unaware of things, but he is talking about these things at this time?

What's wrong with the Jin Dynasty not producing paint?

Haven't you been through so many years?

These nobles always praised things from Chu in private and often bought them at high prices, as if this would make them look as elegant as the Chu people.

It would be fine if you pretend not to see it on weekdays, but now you say it on such an occasion, which is really annoying!

Even if you are drunk and say nothing, you cannot forgive me!

But he could not punish the minister for his crime because of this, so he was very annoyed.

What's good about Chu people?

It’s fine to pursue gorgeous clothes all day long, but since this little big king who is picky ascends to the throne, he has started to have delicious food again!

It’s fine to have good food, but I’m still learning from the King of Chu who doesn’t learn well. I have to use a large bowl for eating soup cakes, and a small bowl for eating steamed rice. I have to mix it with a strip, and I have to use a plate!

This is nothing. I heard that different glasses need to be used to drink different wines!

I don’t know where there are so many things!

How could the King of Jin, who is both princes and kings, not envious or jealous or hate them?

With the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom, he could also live a life as particular as the King of Chu, but he could not.

Because of the upward and downward effects, Chu Feng is already prevalent in the middle of the country. If he likes these again, he is afraid that this unhealthy trend will not be stopped!

For these every year, I don’t know how much money the country has flowed to Chu!

The nobles of the aristocrats always think that this is a trend. If anyone does not do this, they will fall behind. Anyway, they will not spend much more money. It will be a drop in the bucket for them.

They don’t have to think about the overall situation, but as the king, the King of Jin must consider it.

For him, his personal preferences are completely negligible compared to national interests.

The King of Jin frowned, and everyone realized what was going on, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

Everyone was waiting for the king to get angry, and the king waited for his ministers to scold him for what he could not scold. The drunk man also found that he was drunk and speechless. He closed his eyes and knocked over the wine pot and slid under the long case.

It seemed like he was really drunk and unconscious, and his words were all nonsense.

He used to be a genius and regarded himself as a cultural person, but he was drunk and nonsense at the palace banquet of the king. Now he was embarrassed to be thrown into his grandma's house.

Not to mention whether he would resign because he was too embarrassed in the future, seeing this, the King of Jin's face cleared a little, and someone immediately smiled:

"I think this goldware is better than lacquerware! Zheng's country produces gold, but it has always been tightly covered. This time we captured the sixteen cities of Zheng's country, which not only avenged the revenge of Zheng's country's territory when the Jiehe diverted the Jiehe River to occupy our country's territory, but also obtained the copper-producing Qixia City. It's really great! Let's throw one copper bean to the end!"

A smile appeared on the King of Jin's face, but he didn't say anything, just looking at his ministers looking forward to it.

He felt that the decision to attack Zheng was not good. Only the king who was favored by God and wise and wise, could do it. However, he pretended to be calm on the surface, as if this was nothing.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and someone has laid the foundation. Immediately someone took it over and praised the King of Golden as a flower!

"The king is wise! Our Jin Kingdom will become stronger and stronger! What is this gold weapon? One day, my Jin Iron Cavalry will set foot on the land of Chu. At that time, those lacquerware that the Chu people love as precious will still be thrown into the other one!"

This is really numb!

Except for the king's face, no one else knew what to say to overcome this super flattery.

So they raised their glasses together and laughed loudly!

“Hahahahaha~”

The laughter almost overturned the roof. After a long time, everyone returned to peace. They began to discuss whether to stop when they saw it and retreat for the time being.

"Now the Chu army rushed to Zheng State to support the State of China, with a strong momentum of 300,000. Instead of fighting head-on, it is better to stick to the existing territory and wait until the Chu army retreats."

Some people suggested avoiding the edge, but some people disagree:

"At this time, Zheng State has no leader, which is a good time to make a concerted effort! When Zheng State is destroyed, with a large amount of gold and iron support, we can build more weapons! In order to seize the initiative! If we successfully capture Jingshan, our Jin Dynasty territory will be greatly expanded! Then we will be the strongest country among the countries! No matter what the situation in the future, we can be invincible!"

"You really dare to think about it?"

Someone scolded and scolded: "Only what you get is yours. If you don't get those, thinking too much will easily overturn your own bowl and end up losing all your personal money!"

What if they are defeated? Not to mention that these sixteen cities will be compensated, maybe their territory will be reduced now!

Hearing the four words "both people and money are gone", the King of Jin immediately spoke and shouted:

"Enough! If you are afraid of everything, how can you have the current situation? Zheng State has Chu to support me. Is the alliance between our country of Jin and Zhao false?!"

Facts are better than words, and no one dares to refute them any more.

The courtiers began to eat side dishes and drink wine, discussing continuing to attack Zheng.

At the same time, Zhaoduanyuan.

King Zhao was taking his family to eat crabs, drink chrysanthemum wine in the slightly narrow garden and enjoy the moon.

Compared to King Jin's complacent ambition, he was a little unhappy.

After capturing the sixteen cities of Zheng State, Zhao State made great efforts, but Jin State did not express any of them.

Although Zheng and Zhao are not bordered, Zhao cannot get a piece of the sixteen cities, but King Jin has to express his feelings, right?

However, he just put his father-in-law's advice on his father-in-law and said nothing!

The reason why King Zhao sent troops to assist the Jin Kingdom in attacking Zheng was also an attempt. Now he had no intention of finding anything. The Jin Kingdom only subsidized the food and grass consumed by the Zhao army in this operation, which was really annoying!

The chrysanthemum wine is very fragrant and mellow. After scalding with hot water, it is the softest and richest. King Zhao can't help but float to the queen's body.

A girl in her teens looks like a flower bud. Although she looks more like a father, she has a stunning mother and looks very good.

The young queen couldn't tell whether the look of King Zhao was a man's view of women or a merchant's view of goods.

She tried hard to restrain her panic in her heart and did not look at the prince.

The prince was calm and calm. He smiled and picked up the plate in front of him, and sent the crab meat he had shaved with his own hands to the queen.

"My mother is not Zhao, probably won't peel this thing that doesn't have much meat except for the shell."

There is no delicacy in Zhao State, but there are such crabs in the lakes in the mountains. The meat is extremely delicious and it is difficult to peel.

People in other countries don’t like this because they don’t know how to eat it, but the Zhao people regard it as a delicacy.

The prince was very respectful in his tribute, and the queen felt relieved. She bowed seriously with a stern face and thanked him for his filial piety. Then she picked up the crab cover on the plate, skillfully dripped a few drops of vinegar into it, and then mixed it with a small spoon to eat.

The interaction between the two is like a real mother and son.

King Zhao did not doubt it.

Now his mind is full of things with Jin Guo.

Unless he wants to break up with Jin Guo, no matter what wrong he does, this young queen will not be too strict.

Just as he was thinking about everything, he saw his confidant come over and report quietly:

"King, Nu Nu just received the news that the King of Yan had passed away and Princess Ye succeeded to the throne as king. The reason why Yan State had escaped from the depths of the grassland before was not because it destroyed Jingshan Kingdom and was afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the countries! It was because the King of Yan was seriously ill, so he would take the initiative first!"

Now Princess Ye is five years old. When the matter of Jingshan Kingdom is settled, she is also an adult. When she gets married and has children, Yan Kingdom has passed this period of weakness and has completely stabilized.

With Ying Shu Chi here, Yan State has saved up for many years and will definitely have strong national strength by then.

It is hard to say that when the war between the countries hurts their vitality, Yan State will be able to take advantage of the chaos to take the lead...

Thinking of this, King Zhao couldn't help but worry.

After a long time, he finally made up his psychological construction. His eyes lit up and asked his confidant:

"Didn't Ying Shuqi have no objection to the princess ascending the throne? Yan State has been a king since ancient times, and there is no precedent for a queen."

The King of Yan died of illness, leaving only one legitimate daughter, but no legitimate son. If other countries may not dare to play with the brothers and brothers and the legitimate brothers, but Yan State had just destroyed Jingshan State and did not take Da Ji seriously at all. How could he be afraid of doing such a thing?

The confidant sighed: "At first, Nunu had asked this question when he saw the messenger of the message. But he patted his chest and promised that when he saw Princess Ye succeeding the throne with his own eyes, it was the ceremony where Ying Shuqi hugged her on his knees to complete. There was no gap between the two. Obviously, the princess' succession was the result of Ying Shuqi's support.

If he wanted to succeed himself or pass the throne to his son, he would not help his niece to the throne!

In the absence of any help, brothers and brothers can still be argued. If they inherit the throne from their niece, they will be scolded so much that they will never be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives!
To be continued...
