Chapter 14 East City
After a farce ended, Ah Zheng ordered his maid to come into the house to clean up the room messed up by the stupid bird, while he led people to Zhao Ji's yard.
On the way, Lin Ju chatted with Ah Zheng: "Boy, just now the kid said that his name is Meng Tian, and he has the same surname as Meng Wu General Meng. Are they related?" Ah Zheng: "I heard Li Lang
say , General Meng Wu has two sons in his family, and that Meng Tian should be one of them." "
Huh? Father-son relationship? They don't seem to think about it at all. General Meng Wu is mature and stable, and that Meng Tian is too lively."
Ah Zheng smiled and didn't answer any more.
He entered Zhao Ji's yard and went straight to see Zhao Ji: "Mother, I'm here." Zhao Ji
was very happy to see her son, and she stepped forward and took Ah Zheng into her arms: "Mother has already taken Zheng Zheng'er's clothes are ready, Zheng'er will go and try them on later."
Ah Zheng nodded, with a smile on his face: "Okay."
Zhao Ji hesitated for a while, and continued: "Does Zheng'er know that the guards stationed in this Who is the general in the border town?"
Ah Zheng shook his head in bewilderment, "I don't know about this, does Madam know?"
Zhao Ji said, "Zheng'er, the general guarding the border town in this border town is General Wang Ji."
Ah Zheng The smile on Zheng's face faded slowly: "I remember he was the general who attacked Handan many years ago."
After the Battle of Changping, Zhao State should have ceded many cities to Qin State, but Zhao Wang broke his promise and broke the contract. At this time, Qin State sent troops to attack Zhao State again, directly hitting Handan, the capital of Zhao State. King Zhao wanted to kill his son Yiren to vent his anger, but Yiren and Lu Buwei had already escaped from Handan City and fled into Wang Ji's Qin army camp. And the suffering of Ah Zheng and Zhao Ji also began.
Zhao Ji hugged Ah Zheng into her arms, and said comfortingly, "General Wang Ji is a famous general of the Qin Kingdom, and he is very powerful in the Qin Dynasty. Zheng Er, if you see him at the banquet, you must not show any resentment towards him."
Ah Zheng showed a smile to Zhao Ji, and he said helplessly, "Aniang, we were trapped in Zhao State because we were hunted down by King Zhao, because my father abandoned his wife and son, and had a relationship with a general who was loyal to his country." What's the matter? A Niang, don't worry."
Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "That's good. Zheng'er, go and try changing clothes."
Ah Zheng went into the back room to change clothes, and Zhao Ji knelt and leaned on her. On the small side, thinking of Ah Zheng's resentment towards Qin Yiren in his words just now, his heart sank. Zheng'er still has resentment towards her husband.
Ah Zheng changed his clothes and came out from the inner room. Seeing Zhao Ji sitting on the side in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Zhao Ji's eyes, and called aunt softly.
Zhao Ji came to her senses, looked at her son who was well-dressed in front of her, and was quite relieved: "My son looks more and more like a prince of a country." Ah Zheng didn't comment on this,
his biggest wish now is to grow taller, If he grew taller, he really couldn't bear the fact that the boys he met were all taller than him. As for the son's temperament, this thing is useless at all.
Time flies, and the dinner party is about to begin.
Zhao Ji's mother and son were led into the banquet hall by the servant girl in the mansion, and sat at the head.
The right side of the Qin State is respected, and on the right side of Ah Zheng sits the frontier guard general Wang Jue and his subordinates, and on the left side sits Meng Wu Li Si and others, and the young man Meng Tian whom Ah Zheng met before is indeed sitting in Meng Tian. Behind General Wu.
The banquet was nothing more than eating, drinking and drinking. Singing and dancing were banned in the army, but a few soldiers performed wrestling and sparring, which was quite exciting.
And Wang Yu and the others were also not interested in Ah Zheng. An eight or nine-year-old child had just received Qin from Zhao, so he had nothing to say. What's more, Ah Zheng is only the son of a prince, not a prince yet. If Qin Yiren came, they might still be able to chat a few words for the sake of promotion, but there was nothing to talk about with a child.
So the banquet ended hastily, only a few important people in this border city recognized each other's faces.
Because the next schedule is not in a hurry, General Meng Wu intends to let everyone rest in the city for a few days.
The next day, Meng Tian obeyed the agreement and came to play with Ah Zheng, carrying his "ferocious" "chicken".
"Ah Zheng, it's too boring to stay in the mansion all the time, I'll take you out to play." Meng Tian suggested while hugging the bird.
Ah Zheng held a volume of books in his hand, and nodded: "Then wait for me to finish memorizing these lines."
Meng Tian had to wait by the side boredly, muttering in his mouth: "A Zheng, why are you talking to my brother?" They are both nerds."
Ah Zheng turned a deaf ear, closed the book and recited it silently, then handed the scroll to Meng Tian: "Help me recite it."
Meng Tian twitched the corner of his mouth and took the book silently, feeling a little suspicious of himself. , The books read by eight or nine-year-old children should not be ignorant. He opened the scroll and took a look, he was relieved first, but fortunately, he still knew these words. He coughed twice, and said: "Cough cough, Ah Zheng, listen carefully. The inherent Tao, the rule of the country, does not listen to the ruler and the people, and does not follow the government. What is the next sentence?" Ah Zheng looked at Meng Tian suspiciously
. , Correct him: "You misread the sentence just now. It should be a country with inherent Tao. The government does not obey the ruler, and the people do not follow the government." Meng Tian: "..." Meng Tian began to cheat: "I have never
seen
this Juanshu, how do I know how to punctuate sentences? Alright, alright, hurry up and continue memorizing, and when you finish memorizing, we will go out to play."
Ah Zheng: "..."
Ah Zheng continued to recite silently. For some reason, he always felt that Meng Tian didn't seem very smart. However, General Mengwu is obviously well-versed, and he can easily talk about allusions, so why his son didn't even learn any of his advantages.
Ah Zheng finished reciting the book, took the Qin crossbow and followed Meng Tian out.
On the way, Ah Zheng asked Meng Tian: "Where do you want to take me to play?"
Meng Tian just wanted to reach out to touch Ah Zheng's head, but he avoided it all at once, so he had no choice but to let go: "Let's go to Dongshi. A group of good horses have come to the city, and I want to go and have a look. Ah Zheng, can you ride a horse?"
Ah Zheng shook his head.
Meng Tian said: "In that case, then you can pick a horse and I will teach you how to ride it."
Ah Zheng nodded his thanks, and then asked: "Aren't horses a military supply? How can they be sold in the market?" Meng
Tian explained: "These horses are not man-made horses, but wild horses that the shepherds went to the grasslands. This kind of horses are wild and difficult to tame, not suitable for military supplies, not to mention that people who buy and sell horses will be recorded , don’t have to worry about outflow of military supplies.”
“That’s why.”
“We don’t choose adult wild horses, we choose a few strong foals, and when the time comes, people will raise them, and they can ride when they want to ride. Let’s go, Ahead is the East Market."
Ah Zheng looked not far away, and saw a tall archway standing in front of him, he and Meng Tian paid the entrance fee at the gatehouse, registered their identities, and walked to the horse selling place.
Behind them, in an unknown corner, a cold light flashed quietly.
The author has something to say:
In a country with inherent Tao, the government does not obey the ruler, and the people do not obey the government. ——"The Book of Shang Jun"
