Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Han Xuwei stroked his white beard and said slowly: "In this matter, the old minister has indeed miscalculated.

I thought that Lin Xiangru would stand with the old man and try to resist Mr. Pingyuan and Zhao Kuo to the end, but Lin Xiangru didn't speak when he should speak. "

An angry look flashed across Han Ji's face, and she said in a cold voice, "That Mr. Pingyuan blatantly contradicted the old woman in the hall today, it's really shameless! Now that he has the upper hand, it's really unpleasant.

There is also that Zhao Kuo, who kept saying that it was for the sake of Da Zhao, but it was not for the sake of his position as the chief general when the matter came to an end!

"Han Xuwei's white brows trembled a few times, and said: "Don't be impatient, Queen Mother. After all, Mr. Pingyuan has a grudge with this old man, and the opposition to this old man is actually expected.

It's this Zhao Kuo hehe. "

Han Ji asked, "What happened to Zhao Kuo?"

Han Xuwei thought for a while before saying, "Judging from the current situation, Mr. Pingyuan is the number one minister of the Great Zhao, and Zhao Kuo is the number one general of the Great Zhao. The combined power is indeed quite astonishing. We must find a way to separate the two."

Han Ji said: "How to dismantle it?"

Han Xuwei smiled and said, "It's nothing more than alienation.

The old minister has an idea here, as long as the queen mother is willing to adopt it, Zhao Kuo will definitely turn against Mr. Yuan within a year or two.

At that time, Zhao Kuo had no choice but to obey the Queen Mother's order! "

When he said this, Han Xuwei's eyes revealed a dangerous light.

When Han Xuwei was planning to target Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, who had just returned to the mansion, had already focused his attention on another matter.

"Lu Buwei and Mao Sui are back?"

Zhao Kuo raised his brows, and muttered softly: "It's so wintery that they can come back so they can meet me in the study."

A moment later, Zhao Kuo saw Lu Buwei and Mao Sui in the study, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

A few months passed, Lu Buwei still looked energetic, but became a little darker, while Mao Sui hardly changed, and he still had the extremely indifferent expression and calm face.

The two of them saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully: "Lü Buwei has seen the Lord."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's been a hard journey, sit down."

As soon as he sat down, Lu Buwei couldn't wait to say: "My lord, Lu Buwei is lucky to go to Xianyang this time, and he has persuaded the Prince of Qin, An Guojun, to agree to send someone to take Ying Yiren back to the country!"

Lu Buwei's original intention was naturally to repay the credit, but what surprised him was that Zhao Kuo didn't answer immediately after saying this, but fell into deep thought.

Zhao Kuo was indeed a little uneasy.

Now that it is snowing heavily in winter, it must be next spring when the envoys of Prince Qin come to pick up Ying Yiren.

When next spring comes, Zhao Kuo has already led the army to attack Qin, and Qin and Zhao must be in a state of war.

So, should we send this Yingyi back to Qin?

Chapter 152 Meeting Ying Yiren

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, and then suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, what kind of person do you think this prince of Qin, Ying Yiren, is?"

Lu Buwei obviously didn't expect Zhao Kuo to ask this question, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Return to the Lord, Lu Buwei thinks that although Ying Yiren has some ambitions, his talent is not outstanding, he can only be said to be a mediocre person."

Zhao Kuo was not too surprised by Lu Buwei's answer.

Ying Yiren died after only three days on the throne in history. He was also one of the most short-lived kings in the 5000 years of China. He was unknown before Handan was discovered by Lu Buwei. If you support it, I'm afraid it will be like that in this life.

If Ying Yiren has made any contribution to China, it is probably that he gave birth to Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, the son of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo suddenly asked, "I heard that Ying Yiren just had a son named Ying Zheng?"

Lu Buwei was a little surprised: "Unexpectedly, the Marquis also knew about this."

A narrow smile appeared on Zhao Kuo's face: "Tell me the truth, is this Zhao Ji's child yours or Ying Yiren's?"

Qin Shihuang's biological mother, Zhao Ji, was originally Lu Buwei's concubine, but was later given to Ying Yiren by Lu Buwei, and then she became pregnant and gave birth to Ying Zheng.

In terms of chronological order, this is actually quite subtle, and it also made later generations have different opinions on who Qin Shihuang's biological father was.

Of course Zhao Kuo is not a gossip person, but he is still interested in exploring this unsolved mystery of historians.

Hearing this, Lu Buwei showed a flustered expression on his face, and hurriedly said: "Your Honor is joking, of course Ying Zheng is the son of Ying Yiren, and has absolutely nothing to do with Lu."

Although Ying Yiren and Zhao Ji did not hold a wedding, Ying Yiren is now Lu Buwei's lord. If the lord's woman gave birth to the son of Lu Buwei's retainer, it would be a big deal.

Zhao Kuo laughed, looked at Lu Buwei meaningfully, and said: "You go and call Ying Yiren to meet with Ben Hou."

"What, Wu Xinjun wants to see me?"

When Ying Yiren heard the news, panic appeared on his face.

Ying Yiren at this time was not the later Prince Qin or even the Great King, he was just a miserable proton living in Handan who was ignored by no one, and without Lu Buwei's support, he couldn't even afford a carriage to go out.

And what about Zhao Kuo?

Zhao Kuo is the well-known Zhao Guowu Xinjun, who defeated the powerful Qin State and the famous general Bai Qi consecutively.

Lu Buwei persuaded: "My lord, don't worry, as long as you can get the support of Lord Wu Xin, your lord will definitely be able to return to Daqin.

Otherwise, does the lord still want to be a proton in Handan for the rest of his life? "

Ying Yiren's face changed, and it took a while before he sighed: "Forget it, what right do I have to refuse Wu Xinjun's call?"

The next day, Ying Yiren was in a disturbed mood, and he and Lu Buwei came to Zhao Kuo's Wu Xinjun Mansion in a carriage.

"Ying Yiren met Wu Xinjun."

Ying Yiren saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully, his voice trembling slightly.

Zhao Kuo stared at the grandson of the King of Qin, who looked pale because of excessive intercourse, and sighed in his heart: "Who would know that such a person gave birth to a peerless proud son who changed the whole of China?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, please sit down."

Only then did Ying Yiren sit down a little awkwardly.

Zhao Kuo chatted with Ying Yiren casually, and the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became lively, and it was no longer as stiff as before.

Zhao Kuo felt that it was about time, so he turned to the main topic: "I heard from Mr. Lu that Wang Sun really wants to return to Qin State recently. Does it mean that he doesn't like life in Da Zhao?"

Ying Yiren said that it's not just that I don't like it, I don't want to stay in your country of Zhao for a day, okay?

With a respectful smile on Ying Yiren's face, he said: "Back to Lord Wu Xin, Yiren's life in Handan is actually not bad, but the letter from Xianyang recently mentioned that his biological mother has been ill for a long time, and Yiren is really worried about it.

I also ask Wu Xinjun to give Yiren a chance to go back and visit his mother, and Yiren will always feel the kindness of Wu Xinjun in this life. "

After hearing what Ying Yiren said, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Missing the birth mother?

In history, Ying Yiren directly recognized his father, Mrs. An Guojun's wife, Mrs. Huayang, as his mother in order to be superior. He even changed his name to Yingzichu in order to please Mrs. Huayang. "Zichu" means Chu people. Because Mrs. Huayang is the daughter of the Chu clan.

What people like this say about caring about their birth mother makes people laugh out loud.

However, Zhao Kuo did not intend to expose the other party, but said with a smile: "Wang Sun's concern for his mother really moved me.

But pardon me bluntly, it will take a lot of effort and a lot of favors for me to let you leave Handan, so what can Wang Sun give in return? "

The world of adults is not given in vain, especially in matters that determine a person's future and destiny.

Ying Yiren froze for a moment, unable to say anything for a while.

He is a proton who has nothing and does not love his father or mother, what conditions can he give?

Lu Buwei who was on the side was the first to come back to his senses, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Please tell me clearly, as long as you have a request, my master will try his best to fulfill it."

Only then did Ying Yiren come to his senses, nodded again and again, and said, "Exactly."

Zhao Kuo laughed, and said seriously: "Actually, I really have one thing that I can use Wang Sun and your retainer Lu Buwei."

Ying Yiren was overjoyed when he heard the words, and knew that this was a signal that Zhao Kuo was ready to agree, so he hurriedly said: "Please just give Wu Xinjun orders, Yiren will definitely do anything."

Zhao Kuo coughed and said slowly: "You should also know that there is a ginseng business in my residence.

So as long as you can help me sell this ginseng to Qin, then this matter will be considered. "

Yes, Zhao Kuo just wanted to use this to open up the commercial route of ginseng in Qin.

Different from other countries, Qin's Shang Yang reform severely discriminated against and suppressed businessmen. Without the nod and permission of the government, no businessman could successfully do business in Qin, let alone ginseng, which has completely become a luxury stuff.

As the grandson of King Qin, Ying Yiren's father is Prince An of Qin, his uncle is Lord Yangquan, an important minister of Qin, and his retainer is a famous official of his generation, Lu Buwei, a giant in the world, is exactly the "Qin King" in Zhao Kuo's heart. The best candidate for "General Ginseng Agent".

Zhao Kuo looked at Ying Yiren with a smile: "How is it?

Wang Sun thinks about it, if this matter can be achieved, you can get [-]% of the proceeds, as for how to distribute it, it is completely up to you. "

In fact, Zhao Kuo wants to do this business not just for money. Now that Zhao Kuo has more and more channels for getting money, money is not so scarce and important to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo has another deeper intention. Guo Zong, who is in charge of the ginseng business, is now Zhao Kuo's man. As long as the business reaches Qin State, it means that Zhao Kuo's eyes, ears and minions have extended to Qin State!Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!

Chapter 153 News from the Mohists

Regarding Zhao Kuo's suggestion, Ying Yiren somewhat hesitated, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Buwei.

Although Ying Yiren is the master, Lu Buwei has always been doing things, and business is also Lu Buwei's strong point.

Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment, and said: "To tell you the truth, I heard that behind the ginseng business is the government of Zhao State. It may be difficult for Daqin to pass."

Zhao Kuo laughed, waved his hands indifferently, and said: "This is not a big problem, ginseng is different from other things, it is not a military supply at all, but a man's, you understand?

This is a business! "

In fact, ginseng was originally a kind of medicinal material, and it is still a very useful medicinal material. However, due to the "wrong way" of Zhao Wang and Mr. Yuan at the beginning, now ginseng has become a well-known "magic medicine" in China, completely deviated from the original intention.

What's even more amazing is that this actually makes the price of ginseng even more expensive.

It's normal to think about it. This life-saving magic medicine is indeed useful, but most people may not use it or only use it once or twice in their lives.

But the affair between men and women is not to say every day, there must be so many times a month, isn't it?

If it is a new beautiful concubine, then singing every night is also a must.

Are the nobles short of money?

In fact, there is no shortage.

If money can be exchanged for a man's majesty, any nobleman will make the same choice.

This has nothing to do with whether the nobleman is Qi, Yan, Qin or Chu, it just has to do with whether this person is a man or not!Of course, Lu Buwei could hear Zhao Kuo's meaning, but he still said: "How about this, Mr. Wu Xin, after the spring of next year, Mr. Lu will go to Xianyang to meet Mr. Yangquan.

If there is no problem with Qin, we will naturally have no problem, how? "

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Okay, let's make it so."

After leaving Zhao Kuo's mansion, Ying Yiren sat in the carriage and asked worriedly: "Mr. Lu, can we really talk to Mr. Yangquan?"

Lu Buwei smiled slightly, and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, I have some confidence."

Ying Yiren let out a long breath, nodded and said, "That's good."

Looking at the many mansions on both sides of the carriage that kept being left behind, Ying Yiren was suddenly in a daze.

It would be great if one of these mansions belonged to him.

After sending Ying Yiren away, Zhao Kuo asked Mao Sui to be found.

Zhao Kuo still values ​​this ranger who can create an idiom and successfully delay Qin's unification of the world for a full 40 years.

Zhao Kuo asked with a smile: "Mao Sui, how is life in Xianyang?"

Mao then cupped his hands and said, "It's okay, but Qin people are strict, and there is almost no entertainment in Xianyang, which really makes me a little sad."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then came back to understand what Mao Sui was talking about for entertainment, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you can have a good time when you return to Handan, and you will go and talk to Xu Li's family later. Say, let him choose two good dancers for you!"

Mao Sui thanked Zhao Kuo with a smile, thought for a while and said: "My lord, this time I went to Xianyang to get some information, but I don't know whether it is useful or not."

Zhao Kuo said, "Just tell me."

Mao Sui said: "There seems to be some split among the Mohists of the Qin State. Some people are very dissatisfied with the Qin people's emphasis on Legalists, and there seems to be signs of wanting to leave the Qin State."

"The Mo family?"

Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought in the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism are naturally well-known. Although Mohism is not well-known in later generations, it was once ranked alongside Confucianism in the early days of the contention of a hundred schools of thought, and was called " Contemporary enlightenment".

It's just that the "universal love and non-aggression" advocated by the Mohist school is really impossible to be accepted by the king under the background of the princes fighting each other to the death, so the Mohist school gradually declined and divided into several different schools.

One of the biggest schools was invited by the Legalists to enter the state of Qin. It was the so-called "Qin Mo" school. I don't know where to live in seclusion, and I have long since disappeared from the world.

Zhao Kuo was a little curious: "How did you hear about this Mohist news?"
