Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Yu Xin let out a hey, and said, "Although the words are a little strange, I always feel that the king seems to have known about this assassination for a long time! Do you know that when the king heard the news of the envoy's arrival yesterday?"

Yu Xin told the whole thing in detail, and then said: "And if you think about it again, Xu Li's arrow is a bit of a coincidence, right? If Xu Li hadn't known about the assassin, Xu Li would have How can you shoot that arrow so quickly?"

Lian Po pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, I just protected the king and I also have a little feeling, but if the king really knew about such an assassination in advance, why did the king take the risk with his own body? Could it be that?"

Yu Xin's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Because the king wants a reason, a reason to send troops in an open and honest manner!"

Lian Po took a deep look at Yu Xin, and then said slowly, "Qing Yu, you and I haven't said anything today, have we?"

Yu Xin was startled for a moment, then immediately understood Lian Po's meaning, nodded earnestly and said, "Exactly."

The two looked at each other with a lot of meaning in their eyes.

Chapter 8: The Panicked People of Yan Country (First Update)

"Jing Ke's assassination failed, all the envoys were killed, and they died on the street?"

When Yan Guoxiang Bangchang Guojun heard the news, the blood on his face immediately faded away.

No one understands what Jing Ke's failure means to Yan Guo better than Le Jian.

Now that Jing Ke has failed, it can be expected that the army of Zhao State will soon come to Yan State like countless locusts overwhelming the sky, and completely tear the entire Yan State to pieces!

Thinking of this, Le Jian's whole heart was filled with fear, and he suddenly felt a little out of breath.

Lejian is very clear that with the current strength of Yan Kingdom, it is impossible to be the opponent of Zhao Guoren, even if there are three or even four Yan Kingdoms.

The guest Qing Tian Guang, who was sitting opposite Le Jian, was speechless after seeing Le Jian's out-of-control and obviously terrified appearance. It was obvious that the idea came from Le Jian, and the matter was also arranged by you. How could it fail? Why do you pretend to be an innocent person when you're here?

But the complaints are back to Tucao, Tian Guang, as a guest minister, still persuaded: "Now the survival of the Yan Kingdom is in the hands of the king. The more critical this moment is, the more the king can't mess up."

After being explained by Tian Guang, Le Jian finally recovered from the shock, bowed deeply to Tian Guang in front of him, and said very sincerely: "If it weren't for Mr. Mistake! Dare to ask, sir, now that things have come to this, is there any plan to help Le Jian and Yan Guo?"

Tian Guang, the guest of Le Jian, was the one who introduced Jing Ke and Gao Jianli to Le Jian. Now that Jing Ke failed in the assassination, Tian Guang was also a little afraid that Le Jian would pursue his responsibility, so he saw that Le Jian not only did not intend to pursue his own Instead, the responsibility rests with himself, and Tian Guang's heart has settled down a lot, and he immediately has an idea for Le Jian.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the world now knows that Zhao's army is as strong as no one can match. Therefore, in my opinion, what you have to do is to immediately send envoys to unite with other countries to resist Zhao. The south of the country is in danger of being destroyed!"

Lejian couldn't help but sighed when he heard the words, and said: "Last year, the Six Kingdoms defeated Zhao but returned it in vain. Now that Wei has perished, Zhao has become stronger. It's probably useless!"

Tian Guang sternly said to Le Jian: "It's all about human effort, my lord. Has your lord forgotten how Tian Dan saved Qi from the predicament of almost destroying the country? Now the situation of Yan is far better than that of Qi. How could your majesty give up on the state of Qi back then?"

Le Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and couldn't help but want to complain.

As the heir of General Le Yi, one of the parties involved in the past, Le Jian understood all too well what was going on in that war.

We must know that the reason why Qi was able to successfully restore the country back then was, of course, that Yan Guo replaced Le Yi with a robbery, but in fact there is another potential reason, that is, after the Six Kingdoms conquered Qi, other countries have consolidated Although Yan Guo lost his own territory, Yan State did not solve Qi State.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Yan State from becoming bigger, the other princes secretly paid Qi State money, grain, and troops. After the superposition of the two, Qi State's salted fish finally turned around.

However, the current state of Yan is hard to expect that the people of Zhao State will make the mistake of replacing Le Yi with Qi Jie. There is no inventory, how to learn from Qi Guo to make a comeback?

But Lejian also knew in his heart that what Tian Guang said was very correct, that is, human effort is the only thing.

So Le Jian quickly calmed down, nodded and said, "Mister's words are justified."

Tian Guang continued: "My lord, in fact, the most important thing now is to enter the palace immediately, and first appease the king and queen mother. Without the support of the king and queen mother, what you want to do next may be impossible. It's very difficult."

This sentence awakened Lejian, he jumped up almost immediately, and said: "If it wasn't for the sir's reminder, Lejian would have made a mistake! I will go to the palace to see the queen mother!"

When Lejian saw Queen Mother Yan, he realized that several old ministers had already arrived in front of Queen Mother Yan ahead of time, and they were talking fiercely to Queen Mother Yan.

Seeing this, Le Jian did not dare to be negligent, and immediately stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother Yan and said: "Chen Lejian has seen the Queen Mother, and I am here to confess the crime to the Queen Mother."

The next moment, Empress Dowager Yan's eyes fell on Le Jian, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Empress Dowager Yan's disposal of Le Jian.

However, what these other ministers of the Yan State did not expect was that the Queen Mother Yan just sighed lightly, and then said to Le Jian: "Mr. Chang, please get up."

Lejian also didn't expect such a result, and a warm current surged through his heart.

Even at this time, the queen mother is still supporting herself.

But now the other senior ministers of the Yan Kingdom quit, and only one of the veteran ministers named Cai Niao said: "Queen Mother, it is precisely because of the bad idea of ​​the Lord Chang that the Yan Kingdom made the decision of Zhao Guo. The actions of the king of the country completely ruined the image of the country of Yan in the eyes of the people of the world, and ushered in the soldiers of Zhao who destroyed the country. Give it to King Zhao, so that King Zhao's anger can be appeased."

As soon as Cai Niao's words fell, several Yan State ministers immediately expressed their agreement.

It's not a day or two since they were unhappy with Le Jian. After all, since Le Jian became Prime Minister, he has been committed to concentrating power in his own hands, and has had many conflicts with these veterans. To have the opportunity to trip Le Jian or even kill Le Jian at this moment is naturally what these veterans of the Yan Kingdom most hope to see.

Le Jian's face sank immediately after hearing these words, and he said to Cai Niao in front of him: "Cai Qing, the country is in danger now, we, as subjects of the Yan Kingdom, should join hands to defend against the enemy, but you only know If you criticize your colleagues here, can't you wait until you have dealt with this crisis before discussing other matters?"

Cai Niao sneered, and said to Le Jian: "Le Jian, who in the court doesn't know that you and Le Cheng, the general of Zhao State, belong to the same clan. Planning, I want to give Zhao State an excuse to attack Yan State! When the army of Zhao State arrives, I think you will cooperate with the people of Zhao State and offer Yan State out! Killing you is the best way to solve the problem Good choice!"

When Le Jian heard these words, he was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him fiercely on the spot, and shouted: "Cai Niao, you have no evidence at all, yet you slandered me so out of thin air. ? I will never quit with you!"

Cai Niao sneered, knowing in his heart that he and Lejian were in a deadlock today, and he no longer had any scruples, and said, "Why, did you talk about the pain, Mr. Chang? If not, then why are you so angry? Woolen cloth?"

The fierce quarrel between the two made the Empress Dowager Yan who was sitting at the top finally unable to stand it any longer. She interrupted the quarrel between the two with a heavy cough, and said slowly: "Cai Qing doesn't need to say any more, the one who assassinated King Zhao The old woman knew about this matter in advance, and the old woman ordered Chang Guojun to do it, and it was not the responsibility of Chang Guojun. Besides, the old woman is also from Zhao Guo. Does Cai Qing think that the old woman will secretly fight with Zhao Guoren at that time? Collusion, can you give all the great foundation of Yan State to the people of Zhao State?"

What the Empress Dowager Yan said was very serious, so Cai Niao hurriedly said: "I don't dare, the old minister is not talking about the Queen Mother, what the old minister is saying is that this music room is really good."

"Enough," Yantai interrupted Cai Niao again, and said, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to deal with Zhao Guo's attack on Yan this time. Lord Chang, let me tell you what you can do? "

Le Jian knew that this was an opportunity for the Queen Mother to redeem himself, so he immediately said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, in my opinion, now we should first recruit all the troops that can be recruited in the country, and go to the south line to prepare for the upcoming attack of the Zhao people. Except In addition, we should also find a way to send envoys to other countries to unite all countries to resist Zhao State, so that we can hope to repel Zhao State's attack this time."

Cai Niao couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, and said to Le Jian: "All the countries in this world have already been frightened by the Zhao people, who dares to send troops to help our Yan country at this time?"

Le Jian glared at Cai Niao, and said coldly: "You haven't even tried it, so how do you know? The monarchs of these vassal states are not fools. They should know that if the Yan State is really destroyed, then the next It must be their own country that is going to be attacked by Zhao Guo, even if it is aimed at this point, they will definitely find a way to support Yan Guo."

Cai Niao snorted heavily, and said again: "Now the land traffic has been blocked by the Zhao people, even if you want to send envoys, you can't reach other countries at all!"

Lejian was also annoyed at this moment, and said: "If you can't go by land, you can go by sea. No matter what, you must pass on the news, and you must pass it out as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!"

Empress Dowager Yan pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Let's do it according to Lord Chang's will."

An hour later, the ministers of the Yan Kingdom who had just quarreled with Le Jian in the court gathered in a secret room in Cai Niao's mansion.

I saw Cai Niao angrily said to the several ministers of Yan State present: "This Lejian is really deceiving people too much. It is obvious that Zhao Guo's army was attracted because of his arbitrariness. Now he dare not take responsibility, but instead It's really hateful to beat him up!"

As soon as Cai Niao said these words, someone immediately echoed: "Not bad, not bad, and the Queen Mother seems to be dedicated to protecting Le Jian, completely treating us loyal to the country as nothing, it is really chilling."

Everyone could not help but sigh.

Cai Niao looked around at the crowd, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Everyone, it's not like we have better choices."

The few ministers of Yan State who were present were all good people, and they immediately knew what Cai Niao meant when they heard it. Even if someone urged: "Cai Qing, when is this time, you still have to be a fool, so you should hurry up and send your money to me." Find a way to tell."

Cai Niao snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Since the Empress Dowager He Lejian controls the political arena of the Yan Kingdom, I think there will be no future at all. It is better to vote for the Zhao Kingdom , maybe even be able to make a fortune for my descendants!"

The ministers of the Yan Kingdom were shocked at first when they heard the words, but after the shock, no one objected to Cai Niao's words at all. Instead, they all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
