Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

As soon as Yu Xin said this, the Zhao Guo ministers present suddenly realized.

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin, nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's this one!"

This plan was not a temporary idea of ​​Zhao Dan.

In fact, even the plan of Queen Yan's adoptive son Ke to be his son was written by Zhao Dan in the secret letter that Pang Nuan sent to Queen Yan when he was sent to Yan State last time.

At that time, Zhao Dan knew very clearly that the lifespan of this King Yan, who was nicknamed "Yan Wucheng King", was numbered.

As long as King Yan dies and son Ke succeeds to the throne, it is obviously impossible for the two-year-old son Ke to handle government affairs, then Zhao Dan's compatriot sister and son Ke's nominal mother, Queen Yan, will take the regent as a matter of course.

Considering the situation of the son Ke and the orphan and widowed mother of Queen Yan, at least for a few years or even longer, the mother and son must firmly rely on Zhao Guo, the natal family.

In this way, Zhao Dan can safely and boldly let the main force of Zhao Guo go west and south, without worrying that Yan Guo will jump out from time to time and stab Zhao Guo in the back like in history.

At the end of the Warring States period in history, Yan State stabbed Zhao State crazily as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

Otherwise, once Li Mu is liberated and goes south, judging from Li Mu's record of complete victory against the Qin army, maybe there is a real hope of changing his fate against the sky. At least it will not be a problem to extend Zhao Guo's life for a few years.

From this point of view, although the later two generations of Yan kings in history were all faint kings, what Zhao Dan hopes more is a Yan king who can be friendly with Zhao State, so that Zhao State will have no worries at least before overthrowing Qin State.

Prince Ke and Queen Yan, the orphan and widowed mother, are the best candidates that Zhao Dan favors and chooses.

Speaking of which, I learned this trick from Lu Buwei. If Mrs. Huayang can adopt Zhao Yiren as her son, of course Queen Yan can too.

Take history as a mirror.

Moreover, Zhao Dan is really not taking advantage of the danger of his own relatives, the Queen of Yan. Historically speaking, after the death of King Wucheng of Yan, the Queen of Yan was put under house arrest in the deep palace, and finally died at the age of less than 30. Depressed and died.

So thinking about it carefully, Zhao Dan actually saved the life of his own sister, Queen Yan.

The rest of Zhao's ministers looked at Zhao Dan's appearance, how could they not know that Zhao Dan had already made a decision?So they all nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's opinion is very kind!" "Then make that young master Ke the king."

After the successive incidents, Zhao Dan's prestige is now almost as high as that of Qin Wangji, and it is indeed difficult for anyone to dare to object.

Seeing that the ministers agreed one after another, Zhao Dan didn't hesitate at the moment, and made a decision directly: "In that case, then Miao Qing immediately send someone to reply to Lord Chang, and convey the order of the widow, and let him wait until King Yan dies, and he must protect the king as soon as possible. If there is anything wrong with the lives of Empress Yan and Young Master Ke, the two mothers and sons will be sent to the State of Zhao, and the widow will send troops to seek justice for Young Master Ke!"

"Also, order the five counties in the north to gather [-] soldiers and horses first, Zhongshan County to mobilize another [-] soldiers, and station [-] troops in Gucheng. If things change, immediately march into Yan Kingdom!"

"By the way, Zheng Zhu and Su Dai shouldn't be idle anymore, let them go where the widow wants them to go!"

After talking for a few minutes, Zhao Dan finally finished his order, and looked at the ministers in front of him with a refreshed look: "I understand? When you understand, go to work!"

The ministers bowed their heads together, speaking with incomparable respect: "Here!"

Chapter 261 Messages Passed Between Music (Part [-])

On December 259, 12 BC, the lower capital of Yan State, the palace of Wuyang City.

Snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, covering the earth in a blanket of silver. There were almost no pedestrians on the roads of Wuyang City. Occasionally, a few carriages passing by also pulled up their curtains to block the snow and biting wind from winter. chill.

Yan Guo's important official Chang Guojun Le Jian was sitting in a carriage, his young face was full of solemn expressions, as if he was worried about something, he kept frowning and meditating, without any desire to look up at the snow scene outside.

With the passage of time, the news of King Yan's critical illness has changed from a secret known only to the top officials of the Yan Kingdom to a secret that has been circulated in the streets and alleys of Wuyang City.

If it weren't for the fact that the snowfall came earlier this year, which basically blocked the communication between Wuyang City and other cities in Yan Kingdom, this news would have already spread throughout the entire Yan Kingdom and even the entire land of China.

The situation is very bad for Lejian.

Just now, Le Jian was ordered to enter the palace and got a piece of news that Le Jian did not want to hear.

Lying on the hospital bed, the King of Yan personally announced the appointment in front of several important officials of the Yan State, and Lejian's mortal enemy Rong Yan became the new Prime Minister of the State of Yan after Gongsun went.

And Rong Hao has always been on good terms with King Yan's favorite son, Zi An, so Rong Hao was established as the Prime Minister, which means that King Yan is going to pass the seat to Gong Zi An after his death.

Based on the relationship between Rong He and Gongzi Ping, Rong He must be in control after Young Master An ascends to the throne.

Now that Rong Hao is in power, the joy of Lejian will be great.

Just now in the palace, the king of Yan on the sickbed still regarded Le Jian as one of the most important ministers, and asked Rong Yan and Le Jian to live in harmony.

But Lejian was very clear in his heart that King Yan's thinking could only be described as naive.

Don’t look at the fact that Rong He and Le Jian pretended to reconcile in King Yan just now, and they looked amicable. In fact, based on the grievances between Le Jian and Rong He over the years, it would be magnanimous for Rong He to let Le Jian live. However, extermination is what Rong Yan most hopes to do to Le Jian and the Le clan.

If Lejian still wants to keep the wealth and future of his Le clan in Yan Kingdom, then he must take action!

While Lejian was thinking, the carriage he was riding in had already driven out of Miyagi.

But Lejian's carriage did not return to Wuyang Guocheng immediately after leaving the palace, but quickly left the main road and circled around the palace city. After confirming that no one was following him, he slowly returned It stopped outside a remote palace wall.

Le Jian jumped out of the carriage, and in front of him was a wooden door that didn't look very bright, and there was a vague smell on the wooden door and the ground.

This is the back door used to transport feces and other filth every day in the palace city of Yan Kingdom.

Standing next to the back door was a man who was obviously a captain of the palace guards from his clothes.

Before Le Jian could speak, the team leader spoke directly.

"I am from Handan."

Le Jian immediately understood the identity of the other party, and thought of many things, such as why the Queen of Yan came to his tent quietly that night.

That was obviously inseparable from the cover of the squad leader in front of him.

Le Jian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "There is a letter from Handan."

The captain nodded and said, "What did you say?"

Le Jian hesitated.

The team leader stared at Le Jian, and said in a deep voice: "Now the viewing platform has been blocked, and people need to be searched when entering and exiting. Secret letters are no longer possible, and we can only convey them verbally."

Le Jian glanced at the captain, made up his mind, and then said: "King Zhao has an order. If Prince An succeeds King Yan, Queen Yan and Prince Ke will leave the palace immediately and flee to Zhao State."

The team leader hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although I can tell you about this matter, it is difficult for me to do so."

Le Jian could understand the difficulty of the other party. After all, this spy of Zhao State was just a small captain. It was impossible for the small captain to bring out the mother and son of Queen Yan from the blocked observation deck. to things.

Le Jian gritted his teeth, took out a small token from his pocket, and stuffed it into the opponent's hand.

"Do you know the general's house?"

The captain said: "The general's house is the deputy general of the palace guards, how could I not know?"

Le Jian said: "After the king dies, you will take this token to find General Cuo, and he will help you."

After a pause, Le Jian said again: "After leaving the palace, you will directly bring Empress Yan's mother and son to my residence, and I will arrange for her mother and son to escape from Wuyang City."
