I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Then on the carriage behind him came Chun Yuyue (Pu She), a doctor of Confucianism, Ying Xi, the representative of the Qin royal family, and finally Li Si, the long history.

All three are deputy envoys for this mission.

The reason why Qin Wang Yingzheng made such a large lineup for this mission is to let the world see his sincerity and the importance he attaches to this alliance.

At the same time, it also shows that Daqin wanted to attack the Xiongnu instead of fighting Zhao Guo.

(According to the scientific research of later generations, Handan City is composed of two parts, Wangcheng and Beidacheng, with a total area of ​​18.9 square meters, and the scale is extremely grand. It is surrounded by tall city walls made of rammed earth, which are indestructible.)

(While Wangcheng is further divided into Xiwangcheng, Dongwangcheng and Beiwangcheng, the three cities form a character shape, Xiwangcheng is the palace, Dongwangcheng is the point of generals, and Beiwangcheng is the office of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.)

(As for Beida City, it was the residence of the subjects of Handan in Zhao State, and it was also the place where the handicraft industry and people produced at that time.)

The state of Qin has made such a big battle, and as the state of Zhao, which has been struggling forever, naturally it is not willing to lag behind.

Those who greeted him were Zhao Yi (Prime Minister), Guo Kai (Prince Taifu also served as Deputy Prime Minister), Han Cang (Eunuch Order)

Generals include Pang Nuan, Le Cheng, Zhao Cong, Yan Ju and others.

Seeing that Yao Jia was the leader, Zhao Yu's eyes immediately burst into flames, because it was this person who caused him not to ascend the throne, and made it easier for his younger brother Zhao Mourning King Zhao Yan, who is now Zhao Wangqian's father.

This matter started more than ten years ago. He was originally the candidate for the crown prince of Zhao State, but at that time Zhao State was at war with Yan State, and Qin State was eyeing Zhao State.

Therefore, he became the proton of Qin. During the period when Qin was the proton, his father Zhao Dan passed away, and there was no king in Zhao. .

But his younger brother, Zhao Yan, bribed Yao Jia, the Shangqing of the Qin State, and detained him in the Qin State. When he returned to the Zhao State, Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne and became the King of Zhao. He took full control of the court.

His existence threatened Zhao Yan, so he lived in trepidation in those years. Fortunately, his younger brother was a short-lived ghost and died early. After Zhao Wangqian succeeded to the throne, he took advantage of the opportunity and became the prime minister of Zhao.

"Yao Shangqing, the people of Qin are in a big battle, are they here to attack our country of Zhao?"

Yao Jia smiled lightly and said, "Hahaha, Prime Minister Zhao, what you said is wrong, what you said is wrong!"

Then he waved his hand and pointed to the huge team behind him, and said with a smile: "This is called the atmosphere of a great country. My king sent such a large number of guards of honor out of respect for King Zhao."

The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth twitched, and his face turned dark instantly. He had such a clever mouth, but he was speechless when he said a single sentence, which is really abominable.

The important officials behind Zhao Yu also had ugly faces, especially the veteran Pang Nuan, who began to curse Zhao Yu for being an idiot in his heart.

At this moment, the whole country is talking about going north to fight against the Xiongnu. The state of Qin has already set the state of Zhao on fire, and you still say this.

From the outsiders' point of view, Qin Guo came here this time to discuss how to help Zhao Guo.

Guo Kai blinked his small eyes a few times, trotted forward, and said with a smile: "The Qin envoy has come all the way, it must be hard work, my king has already ordered us to set up a banquet in the royal city to clean up the dust for the Qin envoy."

Yao Jia glanced at Guo Kai. Zhang He said that this person is greedy for money, only profit-seeking, and very timid. He said that making good use of this person is better than a million troops.

"Prime Minister Guo is serious. We are also following the orders of the king. It is hard to talk about it. Instead, Prime Minister Guo brought all the civil and military officials of Zhao Guo and waited here. It is very cold, hard work!"

Hearing the praise of Yao Jia, Shangqing of the Qin State, Guo Kai felt very comfortable, and finally felt like being a prime minister.

Although he was the prime minister in Zhao country, he was hated by these stubborn old people in Zhao country. These old guys didn't give him face.

"No hard work, no hard work, it's all for the sake of the subjects of the two countries."

Zhao Yu stayed aside, damn it, Lao Tzu is the Prime Minister of Zhao State, why Qin envoy respects Guo Kai, the deputy prime minister, even more than him, it makes no sense.

Yao Jia and the others approached the veterans Pang Nuan and Le Cheng, cupped their hands and said, "Yao Jia has met the two veteran generals."

The two returned the gift very politely. The two of them were pulled by Zhao Wang as a front. Now they have no rights at all.

A few people chatted and laughed, and walked into the gate of the imperial city.

Along the way, Yao Jia and others praised Guo Kaina very much. They agreed that Guo Kaihui was the most famous prime minister in the history of Zhao State, comparable to Lin Xiangru.

After welcoming the envoy of Qin to the resting place, he was accompanied by Guo Kai, and Zhao Yi, Pang Nuan, Le Cheng and others were summoned into Longtai Palace after being moved and advocated by King Zhao.

"But I found out clearly, what does Qin envoy want this time?"

Zhao Wangqian sat on the throne, and at the same time sitting beside him advocated the queen.

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhang and then said: "Emissary Qin is rude and looks down on King Zhao."

Zhao Wangqian immediately became angry. What do you mean, Qin Wang Yingzheng looked down on him, and he didn't say anything. After all, Yingzheng had fought with his father, and his father couldn't help it, but a little Qin envoy looked down on him. Wang Qian?

"What about Guo Kai, let the envoy of Qin come to the widow immediately, and the widow should ask him carefully, why do you look down on the widow?"

Chapter 86

Pang Nuan glared at Zhao Yu, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, and please put the overall situation first."

"At this moment, the remarks of the whole country and even the entire Central Plains are not good for our country Zhao. Once the king questions the envoy of Qin, it will become a trick for Qin country."

Le Cheng also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, at the moment our country of Zhao can only follow the general trend, negotiate with Qin and jointly resist the Xiongnu. This is not a bad thing."

After advocating, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the two ministers are right. You can't mess around with this matter, and the overall situation should be the most important thing."

After several people came out of the palace, Zhao Yu said: "You two adults, it's not that you don't care about the overall situation. It's just that the Qin people have no good intentions at all. Can't the two elders see the public opinion this time? A masterpiece of the Qin people."

The two sighed. They were not stupid. How could they not see that it was just the ecstasy soup sold in the jars of the Qin people. They couldn't see clearly. The Qin people would be so kind to take back the three northern counties for Zhao Guo?

With a pale face, Zhao Yu said angrily: "Looking at the current situation between Qin and Zhao, General Li Mu and King Jian of Qin are facing each other in Taihang Mountain, and the army of Qin people is south of the Yellow River. To guard against Wei Chuqi, it is impossible for the Huns." If you don't make a move, then you think of uniting with my Zhao country."

"The people of Qin are so shameless that they use national righteousness to coerce our country of Zhao."

The two veterans couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu with admiration. Li Mu and General Lian Po really had a good eye.

In the current state of Zhao, Zhao Wangqian appoints people on their merits, loves villains, alienates virtuous ministers, is incompetent, and with the woman who advocates, sooner or later the Zhao state will be finished.

Fortunately, now they see hope again, the prime minister Zhao Yi has a unique vision, and he is also the former prince of the Zhao royal family.

"Young master, although we are old, we can still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. As long as you are useful, we are willing to be driven by you."

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "The two elders are seriously serious. After the truth is Zhao's royal family, they must not see with their own eyes the mountains and rivers conquered by the former kings, and be ruined like this."

Then Zhao Yu said: "My lords, please tell General Li Mu, I, Zhao Yu, will support him."

Zhao Yu had just bid farewell to the two old generals, but was summoned by the queen again.

Zhao Yu was angry in his heart, he knew that he would threaten him with that incident again in the future.

Back then, he was recalled to the country, and after being advocated, he gave him a slap in the face and was labeled as an adulterer. For the sake of his reputation, he had to bear the humiliation and help the son of the advocate, Zhao Qian, to ascend to the throne.

Zhao Yu pondered along the way. Facing the aggressiveness of Qin State, Zhao Wangqian would definitely agree to Qin State and go north to fight against the Xiongnu.

And going north to fight against the Xiongnu must be a famous general. This is a condition that the Qin State must put forward. There is no doubt that General Li Mu will definitely be nominated.

But General Li Mu cannot go north. Once General Li Mu goes north, who will hold the tiger and wolf Qin?

Zhao Yi followed the servant all the way to the palace, but the queen did not meet him in the main hall, but in the harem, and that room happened to be...

"I have seen the Queen Mother!"

Although she is over 40 years old, she still maintains a beautiful face, with a mature demeanor in every frown and smile.

If you only look at him as a woman, it would be a big mistake. After her husband died, she became a brothel woman, met Zhao Yan, became a Zhao Yan woman, helped Zhao Yan become a king, and supported herself and her son became a prince. Zigui became the empress dowager with the most say in Zhao.

"What's the matter with Prime Minister today? Why are you so unfamiliar with Ai's family?"

There was an ugly smile on Zhao Yu's face: "Chen, I'm not unfamiliar with the Queen Mother, but the Qin envoy is too arrogant today, showing me the face, which makes me very unhappy."

"That's not easy. When you summon them, just clean them up."

"Prime Minister, Qian'er is too young to be alone. As his uncle, you must do your best!"

After talking, he walked to the door and closed the door.

"Queen, I suddenly remembered that there are still important things to do, so let's go first!"

Zhao Yi turned around and ran away. If he made another mistake today, the consequences would be disastrous. Who knows what this ruthless woman is thinking.

"Zhao Yu..."

After arranging to see Zhao Yi running away, his eyes lit up with anger, and he jumped his feet in anger.

He discovered during this period that this Zhao Yu started to make friends with some dignitaries of the Zhao state again. She was still very afraid of Zhao Yu. After all, Zhao Yu was once the former prince, and he and his husband Zhao Yan were brothers, especially this man. Walked very close to Li Mu.

"Hmph, if you want to come back, it depends on how capable you are."

"Isn't it because Li Mu is backing you? Then if Li Mu is gone, Aijia will see if you are obedient."

"After insulting the former king, that is a serious crime. Zhao Yu, how dare you disobey Aijia's words. Aijia will ruin your reputation and become a bereaved dog."

On the other side, Yao Jia and Guo Kaina had a very happy chat, and they seemed to hate seeing each other later.

"Guo Xiang, I came here from Qin State in a hurry, and I didn't bring any special products. These things are not worth mentioning, so please accept them."

Yao Jia has a box, which contains a night pearl, which is as big as an egg.

Then Yao Jia took out another roll of bamboo slips, stuffed them into Guo Kai's hands, and said with a smile: "This is a cloth shop in Handan City, Guo Xiang must have heard of it, it is worth a thousand gold."

Guo Kai was dumbfounded. Holding the box in his hand, he was shocked. It was a night pearl the size of an egg. When he opened the bamboo slips, he was even more shocked. This cloth shop was actually opened by the people of Qin.

This cloth shop is the largest cloth shop in Handan City.

Guo Kai also knew that Yao Jia was so generous that he must have everything he wanted.

"I don't know what Yao Shangqing wants me to do, just ask."

Yao Jia's complexion changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Xu and Guo Xiang hit it off right away, so they offered some gifts as a meeting gift, and Guo Xiang put down X in this way?"

Guo Kai was taken aback, and quickly apologized.

Yao Jia went on to say: "Guo Xiang, you also know that the Huns burned, killed and looted in the north, doing all kinds of evil, and they are about to kill the Central Plains. Our magnificent China, after three emperors and five emperors, has been passed down for thousands of years in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Humiliation, I can't wait to go north immediately, kill the Huns with a knife, and avenge the dead people..."

As Yao Jia spoke, he burst into tears, stood up excitedly, and overturned the case.

Guo Kai was also moved by Yao Jia's heart, his eyes were red, and he said: "Your Majesty thinks about the world, but Kai misunderstood you, Your Majesty, Kai is extremely ashamed."

Yao Jia said: "General Li Mu killed the Huns back then. If they go north to fight against the Huns, the Huns will be scared out of their wits..."

"It's a pity, but General Li Mu is on the shoulders with my Daqin, and he insists on fighting with my Daqin."

Guo Kai held Yao Jia's hand and said: "My lord, please don't worry, although Kai has a low position, the king treats you well, and you can be regarded as the king's tutor, as long as you speak to the king, the king has the world in mind. , will definitely let General Li Mu go north to fight against the Huns."

Chapter 87 Accepting bribes and being held accountable, Guo Kai resorted to his trump card

Guo Kai bid farewell to Yao Jia and went to the palace to report the situation to Zhao Wangqian.

"Guo Xiang, I heard that you and Qin envoy had a good conversation?"

Guo Kai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart turned cold. The king usually does not call himself Guo Xiang, but respectfully calls himself Tai Tuo. Could it be that the matter of his accepting bribes was known by the king?

That grandson was so wicked that he reported himself?

Guo Kai's brain spun at a high speed, and he knelt on the ground immediately, his eyes turned red, and he cried out: "I have been wronged, my lord, I have been acquainted with the envoy of Qin for the purpose of inquiring useful information."

"I have followed the former king since I was a child, and I have been loyal for half my life. When the former king left, the subject should have followed the former king. However, before the king died, he said that the king was still young and wanted the minister to assist him. The minister never dared to slack off for a moment. The world can learn from it..."

Guo Kai was really crying, with tears running down his face, and with trembling hands, he took out a box, put it on the ground, and continued to cry: "My lord, the envoy of Qin gave me a night pearl, and I accepted it when I saw it was priceless." It's..."

"The state treasury of Zhao is empty. If the king wants to eat a good meal, wear new clothes, or get some new things, he needs to report to the queen mother. I can't bear to watch the king grow up since I was a child. I... look Seeing the king suffer, my heart is like a knife."

"I think of your majesty's suffering, so I want to accept this luminous pearl, so that your majesty can live like a king. I have failed the king's entrustment, and I deserve death!"

Guo Kai's crying became louder and louder, crying like a child, and he kept beating the ground with both fists.

Zhao Wangqian was dumbfounded, he stared blankly at Guo Kai who was crying below, and was extremely moved when he heard Guo Kai's words from the bottom of his heart.

What the Taifu said is too correct, the life of a widow is not as good as a beggar, how can he be like the king of a country?

Quickly stood up from the seat, came to Guo Kai's side, supported Guo Kai with both hands, and said with red eyes: "Teacher, I have wronged you, I should not doubt the Grand Tutor."

"Your Majesty...everything I do is for you."

Guo Kai grabbed Zhao Qian's hand with both hands, his nose and tears were flowing, and he was choked up to speak.

Zhao Wangqian held Guo Kai's hands tightly, and said firmly: "Teacher, I know that the Grand Tutor is for the good of the widow. The Zhao country is so big, only the Taifu is sincere to the widow..."

Then, Zhao Wangqian yelled furiously: "Come here, give that guy who spoke ill of the Taifu to the widows and barbarians."

Guo Kaixin made a fool of himself, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do this, it's all for your sake, no wonder they, the Yi tribe will damage your reputation, just crack the one who said bad things."

"Teacher is right!"

"Come here, give that tongue-twisting tore to pieces."

Guo Kaixin breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly resented in his heart, is it that bastard who instigated others to make things difficult for him?

After thinking about it, there is only Zhao Yi, who relies on his royal family (Zhao Qian's uncle) and has an affair with the Queen Mother. Not only does he look down on Guo Kai, but he always trips him up.

The reason is that he helped the former king ascend the throne back then, and he made a fool of Zhao Yu, who did not become the king of Zhao.

Hmph, let's wait and see!
