After entering the hall, although Gongsun Yu had a bad look on his face that he didn't want to see Zhang Ji and Meng Ao, he still didn't chase them away directly.
After all, this pig had already eaten half of its own cabbage. Although it was not the courtesy of Zhou Gong, since Zhang Ji had made a marriage contract with Gongsun Li, he naturally could not break it easily.
Furthermore, with the power of Qin and Zhang Ji's status, even if he really forced Zhang Ji and Gongsun Li to terminate their engagement, no one would be willing to take the risk of offending Zhang Ji and propose to marry Gongsun Li in the future.
Of course, the most important point was that he could tell that his granddaughter had a crush on Zhang Ji.
A man of the highest rank in terms of character, talent, reputation, and status, and about the same age as Gongsun Li. Zhang's family background in Anyi can be considered to be of the same family as Gongsun's family in Diqiu.
With such a good destination, Gongsun Yu had no reason to stop it.
It's just...why do you feel like this kid deserves a beating so much?
Gongsun Yu's eyes were stern, and his peripheral vision fell on Zhang Ji and Gongsun Li, who were sitting side by side. Their hands hidden under the desk were tightly held.
Seeing the pig's hooves touching his granddaughter, he really wanted to pull out his sword and chop off the pig's hooves.
But there was a guy in front of me who was even worse and more annoying!
Meng Ao smiled with his eyes narrowed, took a sip of tea, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas, in the battle of Diqiu, General Gongsun's city defense layout was slightly inadequate."
"Although Qingzhuang has a certain combat effectiveness, it is really out of consideration for General Gongsun to mix Qingzhuang who has served in the army and practiced martial arts with Qingzhuang who has only farming experience in the army."
"The State of Wei is not the State of Qin. The young men composed of farmers are easily defeated. After the defeat, the morale of other troops will be further damaged. As a result, the morale of even the main regular army of the State of Wei will be shaken."
Gongsun Yu slapped his hand on the table: "Meng Ao, you old thief has gone too far! If it weren't for the few soldiers who defended the country, how could I be like this? If you have the ability, you and I will have a fair showdown on the battlefield!"
"Is it my fault that our country Qin is so powerful?"
"And no matter what you say, you will be defeated by me."
Meng Ao spread his hands, war is always three parts military and seven parts political.
Only when the country is well governed and has sufficient military and food supplies can we use these seven points of politics to influence and shake the remaining three points of military affairs.
Military strategists call this gap in equipment, numbers, and training quality between the two sides "soldier skills."
Gongsun Yu pointed at Meng Ao angrily: "An old thief who only bullies the weak!"
"You have been defeated by me."
"Without Qin, you are nothing!"
"You have been defeated by me!"
"Old man, do you dare to challenge me to a duel!"
"You have been defeated by me!"
Gongsun was so angry that he kicked over the table and roared at Meng Ao: "How dare you not mention that I was defeated by you!"
"Oh, okay!" Meng Ao followed the good example and immediately pointed to the map of the Wei Kingdom hanging in the hall and said with a smile, "I destroyed the Wei Kingdom!"
"You're such a smart guy, you old thief Cangran! You... you... might as well change the topic again!"
"Okay, you were defeated by me."
Meng Ao and Gongsun Yu seemed to be really at odds with each other, but no matter how Gongsun Yu talked about his proud records and extraordinary performance when he was young, Meng Ao would always say, "You were defeated by me."
"Alright, two old generals, please don't get too angry." Zhang Ji gave Meng Ao a wink, indicating that Meng Ao would stop.
"But General Meng, I want to correct a mistake in your words."
"Weiguo has not been destroyed yet."
Gongsun Yu was startled. It was indeed as Zhang Ji said. More than a month had passed since the battle of Diqiu, but Qin still did not send envoys to inform the world that Qin had annexed Wei.
Could it be that there is still a turning point in the matter of defending the country?
Gongsun Yu looked sideways at Zhang Ji who had closed his mouth, but Zhang Ji remained silent and was unwilling to speak again no matter what.
Not long after, a marriage document signed by Gongsun Yu, an elder, for Gongsun Li was handed into Meng Ao's hands, and Meng Ao also signed the marriage document for Zhang Ji as a matchmaker.
Zhang Ji smiled happily after receiving the signed marriage document, staring at the marriage document with burning eyes.
"You haven't registered with the Xianyang government yet. How can you do this?"
The Qin State has a highly perfected marriage system. Before the custom of exchanging marriage certificates between men and women began, the officials in the Xianyang government office had to be informed of the matter, and the marriage certificates signed by both parties were used as evidence in exchange for the officials' registration of the marriage.
Just like the married couples of later generations receive a legally binding red book, everyone from princes and nobles to ordinary people and even slaves in the Qin State must go to the local administrative office to submit review materials and wait for review, whether they are marrying a wife or taking a concubine. , and finally after the officials reviewed it, the couple's information was registered into the database, and their marriage was declared effective.
"Cough." Zhang Ji cleared his throat with a cough, and took off a bag from his waist, which contained a seal and a roll of bamboo slips. The names of the newlyweds are written on the bamboo slips. It is a scroll of bamboo slips that records the information of the couple in the land of Nei Shi. The seal is naturally the seal of Nei Shi. "Xianyang City belongs to the Xianyang Order, but it is also the seal of Nei Shi." Under the rule, I do not violate the laws of Qin if I work beyond the level of my rank."
The Qin Law only stipulates that you have to go to the local administrative office, which refers to the county office. But if someone really wants to apply for a road trip to the county magistrate's office to register a marriage, it is completely in line with Qin law. Even if they go straight to Xianyang to find Ying Zheng, the king of the country, to register the marriage, of course the premise is that you have This energy sees the governor or the king of a country.
Zhang Ji stamped the internal history seal on the marriage certificate with a cunning smile on his face, and quickly registered his and Gongsun Li's names on the bamboo slips.
The names of Jing Salamander, Tide Tide and others have already been registered, so now they are only one night away from being a real couple.
Satisfied, Zhang Ji put the bamboo slips and seal back into his bag, and explained to Meng Ao and Gongsun Yu why he said that the Wei Kingdom had not yet been destroyed.
"It's not really a secret. Your Majesty will tell the world in two days." Seeing Gongsun Yu's solemn and nervous expression, Zhang Ji waved his hand and explained.
"Shang Jun laid the foundation for Qin to dominate the world. He averted Qin's national humiliation and was respected by the people of Qin. Lu Xiangbang, who was also born in the Wei Dynasty, worked hard for the Qin Dynasty for many years. Therefore, the king expressed his gratitude to Wei Guo for his contribution to Qin. Da, decided not to destroy the Weiguo."
"However, the Wei State finally failed the Qin State's care and support for many years and participated in the joint attack on Qin. Therefore, the king discussed with Lu Xiangbang and other important ministers to move the Wei State to Ye Wang, and use Ye Wang's city as the new Wei State. The old capital, Diqiu, was renamed Puyang, and Puyang was made the county government, and Dongjun was established."
"So... I am still defending my country? Is my mother country still alive?"
Gongsun Yu's voice was trembling, and his majestic body with white hair and beard was extremely weak at this moment.
