Chapter 118: The Situation is Changeable
Zhao Guo, Handan City!
Chunpingjun was the crown prince of Zhao, and then went to Qin to be a proton for five years, and the throne that should have belonged to him was stolen by Zhao Yan, the father of the current Zhao Wangqian. After he returned to China, he was not reused for many years and became an idler in Zhao State.
Until the death of King Zhao Mourning Xiang and the succession of Zhao Qian, he slowly participated in government affairs, and there was not only one Prime Minister of Zhao State, he and Guo Kai, Pingyuan Jun can all be regarded as Xiangbang.
Chun Pingjun's revenge may also be a long-term repression that led to his psychopath, after returning to power, he actually united with Guo Kai and Zhao Mourning, they disregarded the life and death of the people, expropriated and expropriated, desperately looted, and fished the people, resulting in complaints, and the people were miserable;
Donghu aliens invaded Zhao, he and Guo Kai discussed, both of them thought that Donghu was powerful, Zhao had few soldiers, and they had to guard against Qin, and it was useless to send troops to kill the enemy and protect the people.
For Donghu, their idea was that there were Jingcheng and Julu Fortress to the north of Handan, which was enough to protect the safety of Handan, that is, their own safety. As for the Donghu alien race, they didn't pay attention to it, thinking that Donghu would naturally leave after robbing enough slaves and food.
This is why Sima Shang wrote several times, and the Zhao court did nothing, they only cared about their own safety, and they cared about the life and death of the people.
Zhao Guo's court traitors are troublesome, and naturally there are loyal ministers who want to set things right, the representative figures are Pingyuanjun, Pang Yuanjun and the two, Pingyuanjun is a person of the royal family, and his prestige is high enough, but he can't do it without the support of the generals in the army.
There is only one way for them to abolish the king of Zhao and relocate Zhao Jiagongzi as the king, that is, to mutiny and seize power, but it is the General's Mansion that controls the military power of Zhao, and the General's Mansion only obeys the orders of King Zhao.
Pingyuan Jun and Pang Yuan discussed two strategies, and at the same time sent people to contact the border generals Sima Shang, Lian Po, Le Yi and others for support.
These actions of them were instead seen by an outsider, making Zhao Guo's weakness, he is now detained by Guo Kai in Handan, but he did not restrict his freedom, but he was not allowed to leave Zhao State, why, naturally he left a life-saving card for himself, Guo Kai did not think that Zhao Guo could resist the military peak of Qin State, but such a visionary person is a traitor of Zhao State, I have to say that it is really going to die Zhao.
Guo Kai is happy to get power, and the scourge of Zhao Guo naturally has its merits, he first removed Li Mu, who was a threat to himself in the army, and then designed Chunping Jun, Zhao Mourning was already his person, so he sent the chamberlain in the name of King Zhao to invite Chunping Jun into the palace to discuss state affairs, Chunping Jun entered the palace and was brought to the palace by the chamberlain, seeing that the Empress Dowager and several men were promiscuous and were closed by the chamberlain. Soon Guo Kai brought people to catch the traitor, and Guo Kai took this as a threat, so he joined Guo Kai's camp and was at the mercy of Guo Kai.
And Chun Pingjun was willing to fall into this way, and got together with Zhao Mian, who was born as a prostitute, and became an underground couple.
The inaction of the king of Zhao and the ministers all fell into the eyes of the weak, and the weak understood that the Qin State stopped the war against Zhao and let the good intentions of the Zhao State to drive out the Donghu and protect the safety of the people were all useless, and now the only person who can save the people in the north of the Zhao State is the Qin State.
As a courtier of Qin, the king ceased war for the sake of righteousness, but Zhao was incompetent, so he decided to seek for Qin.
Handan, a trading company, in a secret room.
Suddenly weak and Guo Kai sat opposite each other, suddenly weak in his early twenties, dressed in a gray robe, it was the age of sharp edge, Guo Kai was already a gray-haired old man, there was a cane next to the desk, wearing a gray and white robe, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were indeed bright.
He said calmly: "Lord Xiangbang seems to have infinite scenery, but he has already suffered from the scourge of swords. ”
Guo Kai's eyes narrowed, he could only see a gap, and said with a smile: "The Qin State has indeed installed a lot of people in the Zhao Kingdom. ”
Immediately disagreed, and said very proudly: "The old man is conscientious and specializes in the art of power, who can compare with the seven countries in the world." ”
"What you said is that Pingyuanjun and others contacted General Bianguan to intend to mutiny, how do they know that the entire Zhao Kingdom is under the control of the old man, and the old man is about to convict them of attempting to rebel and catch them all. ”
Suddenly faint and shivered when he heard it, and said in his heart, people who can harm a country are really not simple people.
said: "Since Lord Xiangbang also has a plan, why did you come to see each other." ”
Guo Kaidao: "The ending of Qin and Zhao cannot be saved, and the old man naturally wants to leave a way back for himself." ”
"What do you want?"
"The old man asked the king of Qin to promise that after the destruction of Zhao, I would be allowed to be the king of Daijun. Guo Kai's words were loud.
Suddenly weakened, this person's heart as a king is not dead, and he is allowed to be the king of Daijun, which means that the king of Qin cannot send troops to attack him.
Said: "My king is not allowed, what should I do?"
Guo Kai sneered: "Then you, the envoy of Qin, don't want to go back, I will hold Zhao Qian hostage and go north, and form an alliance with the Xiongnu and Donghu, how can Qin withstand me?"
"Aren't you afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years?"
"So what, aren't I also being scolded as an old thief by the Zhao State government and the opposition now. ”
Suddenly, he said weakly: "I will report this matter to my king." ”
Guo Kai got up and said, "Wait for good news." ”
After saying that, he left with a crutch, and said weakly: If this person is a capable minister, how can Zhao Guo be like this.
Wang Cang came back and said in front of King Zhao how Sima Shang despised King Zhao, and scolded King Zhao for being unreasonable, and the disasters in Zhao were all caused by King Zhao.
Guo Kai also took out a lot of evidence that Pingyuan Jun colluded with Lian Po, Sima Shang, Le Yi and others to prepare for a mutiny, and King Zhao's face changed greatly with fright, if he was deposed from the throne, how could he have a good life.
The patriarchs knew that Pingyuan Jun and Pang Yuan had contacted the border generals behind their backs to prepare for a mutiny, and they fought with Guo to fight for power, if Zhao Qian was deposed and Zhao Jia was established as king, they would even lose their current power. How could they let go of Pingyuan Jun, Sima Shang, Lian Po and others, all chose to stand on the side of King Zhao.
King Zhao listened to Guo Kai's advice, the border generals controlled the military power and could not come by force, and Pingyuan Jun and others in Handan City did not move for the time being, so as to avoid startling the grass and snakes.
On the contrary, in the name of fighting against Donghu, Pai Le Cheng went to replace Lian Po, how could Lian Po not know that the imperial court, which had been motionless, suddenly wanted to use troops against Donghu, since the soldiers were naturally transferred first, but they sent people to replace him, and the intention was so obvious.
Lian Po was furious and led his army to attack Lecheng, but Lecheng was defeated and fled to the Qi country. Lian Po also knew that he could not gain a foothold in the Zhao State, so he led his guards to flee to the Wei State.
Seeing this situation, Le Yi's father and son directly led the army to surrender to Qin.
As for Sima Shang, he is naturally not a stupid person, after Wang Cang left that day, he killed Sima in the army of King Zhao's cronies, led the army north, and fought a decisive battle with Donghu.
Most of the soldiers of Zhao State stationed in Jingcheng Pass are Yanmen, people from the two counties in Yunzhong, since they learned that Donghu invaded the two counties, the voices of the war have been one after another, and there is a tendency to mutiny, Sima Shang led the army to the north, they are thousands of willing, how can they oppose.
The situation in Zhao is changing so fast that it is unbelievable to all countries in the world.
