Chapter 199: King Zhao's helplessness
Zhao Guo, Handan, Wangcheng, Tai'an Palace. Zhao Wang Wuji sat behind the low table, and although he tried his best to contain his anger, the heavy wheezing sound and Tie Qing's face still revealed the anger in his heart.
In fact, it's not just him, the civil and military ministers of Zhao who gathered in the Tai'an Hall at this time, the princes and nobles, all of them are blowing their beards and staring, if they didn't pay attention to their identities, as well as the diplomatic etiquette of fishing for Shizi, they would have lifted the table and picked the bench a long time ago. However, they all widened their eyes, looking at the envoys of the Yan Kingdom who were sitting cross-legged in the center of the main hall, Chun Yuyan, that kind of eyes, they couldn't wait to peel this envoy of the Great Yan alive and swallow it.
Chun Yuyan is peaceful, no matter how angry the other party is, he will not take him as an envoy, listening to the sound of heavy breathing one after another above the hall, the smile on Chun Yuyan's face is a little bigger, he has not sent Zhao Guo once or twice, every time he came before, there was a feeling that his son met Lao Tzu, and he didn't feel that he could raise his head, but this time it was different. He held his head high and looked at Zhao Wang Wuji.
"Your Majesty, the ministers came this time, one is because Her Royal Highness the princess misses the king, and wants to go back to Handan to live, although the king is graciously retained, but the princess has no choice but to send the princess to send Her Royal Highness back, and secondly, my king hopes that your country can return the five cities of Fangcheng, Weicheng, Lincheng, Confused City and the whole city to Yan Kingdom, if you can get the king's fulfillment, the kingdom will go up to the king, down to Li Shu, all grateful Dade! Chun Yuyan's tone was tactful, but the words she said were quite rude. Zao Wou-Ki almost spurted blood in anger.
"Is your envoy mistaken, this land of five cities is not snatched by me Zhao Guoming, this is the dowry given by your Dayan in order to marry Princess Deling." Doctor Zhao Qi stood up and said angrily, This time with Zhao Ling, he was driven back from Yan Kingdom, but there was also his sister, compared to Zhao Ling, he also brought back her son Ji Feng, and his nephew Ling Huming was cut in two. lost his life, and at this time, seeing Chun Yuyan's arrogant attitude, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together. With his hand hanging on one side, he held a jade pendant tightly, his green tendons were exposed, if he hadn't endured it strongly, he would have pulled off this jade pendant a long time ago, and smashed his face at Chun Yuyan.
"Qi Gong is right! Another minister of Zhao stood up, "Although King Zhaoping is dead. But Princess Ling is still the queen of your Dayan, although she goes back to Handan to live in a small house, but after all, she still has to go back to Jicheng, since ancient times, unless she is divorced, there is a reason for her husband's family to return to Chengli, she is a new widow, not divorced."
Chun Yuyan coughed a few times, "Yes, yes." That's the truth."
"Since this is the truth, then why is Lord Chunyu so unreasonable to come to ask for these five cities? "The minister is aggressive.
"What's this? Chun Yuyan looked at Zhao Wang Wuji, and there was another series of dry coughs. "That's right, my family's minister said that our Dayan had full sincerity at the beginning, and he was also very courteous to Princess Ling. That's why there are five cities of etiquette, Zhao is a big country, but also a state of etiquette. But when Princess Ling got married, she didn't bring a dowry, which is inevitably a little inconsistent with the identity of the great power of Zhao, nor is it in line with the friendship of courtesy and exchange. Ahem, so, the Prime Minister said that these five cities can be regarded as the dowry of Princess Ling, of course, if the king feels embarrassed, he can add a little."
Zhao Wang Wuji was so angry that he almost wanted to squirt blood, this pure Yan mouth was neat, and shameless, when Yan and Zhao married, there were not only transactions on the table, but also transactions under the table, Yan Guo paid five cities and married Zhao Ling, and at the same time, Zhao Guo supported Yan Zhaoping, who had already braided his hair, to obtain the position of Yan Wang, but how can these things be put on the table, can Zhao Guo still shout to the world, saying that he participated in the Yan civil strife and the battle for the throne ten years ago?
There are many things that can be done in secret, but you can't say it, everyone understands it in their hearts, but they won't say it.
Chun Yuyan is to grasp this point and make a big fuss. Fang Wei confuses the land of these five cities, Zhao Guo has already eaten it in his stomach, where is there any reason to spit it out. This time, there was another civil strife in the Yan State, and the losses of the Zhao State were already big enough, not only did they lose the Yan State, a staunch ally of more than ten years, but also because of Ye Tiannan's ascension, the Yan State was now almost certain to become an enemy. Before this loss could be made up, Yan Guo Ye Tiannan was busy sprinkling salt on the wound.
Zao Wou-Ki's heart was full of anger, above the court, hearing Chun Yuyan's words, the ministers had already been unable to hold back, and they got up one after another to reason with Chun Yuyan, Chun Yuyan is a good mouth and a good tongue, and he was able to accurately find out the master and then refute it from the chaotic accusations.
With a bang, Zao Wou-Ki threw the jade ruyi of the paperweight on the case to the ground, and at the same time, the crisp sound also made the chaotic and noisy hall quiet down in an instant.
Zhao Wouji stood up, looked at Chun Yuyan, and said coldly: "I am not ready to give the dowry, if Ye Tiannan wants it, he will send troops to get it, and I will accompany Zhao Feng to the end."
Several ministers of Zhao State stared at Chun Yuyan fiercely, got up one after another, and chased after King Zhao.
Chun Yuyan spread his hands and made an innocent look, wanting to fight? Chun Yuyan sneered in his heart, just intimidation, this time the change of Yan Kingdom, Minister Ye Tiannan has been planning for ten years, multi-party layout, in all directions, Zhao Guo's enemies are all ready to move, even if Zhao Wuji hates it in his heart, he will not dare to fight this battle, but Yan Guo is trying to take advantage of this opportunity to fight this battle! The five cities were sent out of the city in the hands of Ling Huchao, and now it's time to get them back.
Chun Yuyan originally had no hope for this trip, no one would send out the land of the Five Cities because of his empty mouth and white teeth, all Yan Guo needed was a reason. If Zhao Guo did not agree, Yan Guo could justifiably send troops to take the five cities that had been lost for a long time.
The new king's accession to the throne relied on a bloody coup, although King Yan Zhao was the same at the beginning, but after all, he was in charge of the Yan Kingdom for ten years, and the people had long forgotten what happened ten years ago, on the contrary, the memory of this civil strife was still fresh, and the new king needed an external victory to divert the attention of the people, and also needed a war to unite the domestic nobles.
When Minister Ye Tiannan ascended to the throne, he also needed a victory to show his ability, there was nothing more exciting than regaining the lost ten years of his hometown, Ye Tiannan needed this war to show that he loved Yan more than Ling Fox Chao, and was more suitable to become the prime minister of Yan State.
Yan Guo has been sharpening his knives, and he has been laying out for many years, it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but Zhao Guo is sudden, caught off guard, and has not prepared for anything, can Zhao Guo afford this battle? Therefore, Yan Guo will undoubtedly win this battle.
Watching King Zhao and a group of important ministers walk away, Chun Yuyan held his head high, with a victorious smile on his face, and in the hateful gaze of Yan's subordinates, Shi Shiran walked out. When he returned to the post house, he packed his bags and waited for the monarchs of Zhao to expel him.
In the apse of Tai'an Palace, Zhao Wouji looked at his sister Zhao Ling who was kneeling in front of him and Ji Feng behind her, and sighed heavily, this time Yan Guo's change was too sudden, and he didn't give him any time to react at all, and the dust had already settled, Yan Guo, his former ally, had become the most dangerous enemy. Ten years ago, the Ye family was destroyed by the Manchus, and the current Lao Tzu of the Yan King was expelled from the Yan State and ended up depressed, and all this, without the support of the Zhao State, the Linghu Chao and the King Yan Zhaoping, who had already braided, had no possibility of victory at all. Now, King Yan Zhaoping is dead, Linghu Chao is dead, the Linghu family has been uprooted, and the sword of revenge of the monarchs and ministers of Yan has been swung towards him.
If it were in the past, Zhao Wou-Ki wouldn't care at all, Yan was weak and Zhao Qiang, if he really wanted to do it, Zhao Guo was not afraid of Yan Guo at all, and he could even use the inexplicable violent death of King Yan Zhaoping as an excuse to wave Yan Guo, Ji Feng was in his own hands, this was a good excuse.
But Zhao Wuji knew that now was definitely not the time, Ye Tiannan dared to send Ji Feng to Zhao Guo and to his own hands, which in itself was a trap.
In the north, the king of the Xiongnu gathered a large number of tribes, and the soldiers were headed, it was the Zhao State, and the Daijun was already in the news.
In the west, the world's largest country, the Qin State, was in Shangjun and Hedong, and the generals of the Qin State won Teng, Li Xin gathered a large army and eyed the Zhao State, and in the east, the Qi State Xiangtian went to Acheng alone, what he was planning, he didn't ask it, for a while, the Zhao State was attacked by several enemies, and he didn't understand what went wrong there, these enemies of the Zhao State actually wanted to be unfavorable to the Zhao State at the same time, and now that I think about it, it was Ye Tiannan who was connected in it, and the purpose was for this moment.
Now, Ye Tiannan has finally come to the fore.
Thinking of this, Zao Wou-Ki was really a smoker, "Waste! He scolded hatefully, King Yan Zhaoping is a waste, and Ling Fox Chao is a waste among wastes, and he has controlled Yan Kingdom for ten years, but he was uprooted by people day and night, and he didn't even give himself a chance to send troops to rescue. If the Yan Kingdom was still in the hands of King Zhaoping, how could the Zhao Kingdom be in today's predicament.
"Brother Wang! Looking at his sister who was crying and bowing in front of him, Zao Wou-Ki shook his head helplessly, "Ling'er, you can live in the palace for the time being, take good care of your body, recover your mood, people can't be resurrected after death, you shouldn't be too sad."
"Brother Wang, please send troops to avenge my husband! Zhao Ling turned his head, "Feng'er, don't hurry up and ask my uncle!" "
"Please send your uncle to Yan Country and set things right! Ji Feng raised his hands above his head and fell heavily to the ground.
"I'll think about it, I'll think about it! Zao Wou-Ki sighed heavily, "You guys, go and rest first!" (To be continued......)
