Chapter Twenty-Six: Who Can't Die
Zhao Kuo didn't know why Ying Yiren said these words to himself, was he drunk and couldn't help but brag and dig? Or do you want to humiliate yourself and do mockery? However, Zhao Kuo was not angry, as if he didn't understand Yingyiren's words, he laughed lightly, nodded and said, "Childe, what you said is very right, this is indeed the case." ”
Ying Yiren beckoned into the distance, and with some drunkenness, he said, "I regard Ma Fuzi as a relative, you can come and meet him!" Zhao Kuo turned his head, but saw a woman, said it was a woman, in fact, she was very young, should not be more than twenty years old, she was wearing a white dress on her upper body, wearing a pale yellow embroidered dress full of patterns, with her head down, her face was delicate, no makeup, and her crystal clear face made people unable to take their eyes off.
She raised her head and smiled lightly at Zhao Kuo, and suddenly, Zhao Kuo's disciples were all distracted, their expressions were in a trance, and they couldn't speak.
Zhao Kuo is okay, what he pays attention to is not the beauty of this woman, but her identity, the biological mother of the first emperor, and the confusing rumors. Zhao Ji bowed to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo naturally had to return the salute, in this era, there is not such a strict etiquette to restrict women, women can also show their heads, and even often refuse the marriage arranged by their parents, and marry their lovers.
In this era, women even have the right to divorce, oh, by the way, only in the Qin State, women have the right to divorce, if the husband beats and scolds his wife, or the two parties quarrel endlessly, and the family is not in harmony, the woman can appeal and ask for a divorce. Zhao Guo still can't do it, hit you? Then you just bear it, who let you marry him in the first place. In the states of Zhao and Yan, women were more like private property.
Especially in the Yan country, men have the situation of giving their wives to others, there are distinguished guests coming, and they will let their wives and concubines sleep, Zhao is better than Yan country, but it is not much better, there is a situation where the husband kills his wife without asking about the crime, if this is in the Qin country, even the parents can not kill their children without informing the situation, if the child is not filial, you can report it to the government, and the government will help you clean it up, but you can't do it in private, this is the Qin State that was denounced as barbaric by the countries.
Ying Yiren happily let Zhao Ji sit beside him, and said with a smile: "This is my wife, Zhao Ji." ”
Meeting a person's parents and family members is the greatest respect in this era, and letting the other party come to meet their parents, let their wives and sons come to meet each other, but it is the greatest courtesy for a person in this era, only to their confidants and friends, there will be such a move.
Ying Yiren said: "She is pregnant, and I don't know if she is a man or a woman. ”
"It must be a man."
"Hahaha, to borrow your auspicious words, if it's a man, then I'll have to think of a better name."
"It's better to call it a politician."
"Huh?"
"Politicians, masaya, the first politicians."
"Meet... Zheng...", Ying Yiren frowned and thought for a moment, before he smiled and said: "Okay, if it's really a man, it's Zhao Zheng!" Probably because Zhao Ji was still pregnant, Ying Yiren quickly let Zhao Ji leave to rest, before leaving, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Kuo with some confusion, since she grew up, when men saw her, they all stared at her face, and stared at her abdomen all the time, she had never met it, Zhao Kuo was the first.
The two chatted enthusiastically for a long time, and Ying Yiren suddenly put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to tell you three things." ”
"Say it, please."
Ying Yiren lowered his voice, stared at Zhao Kuo's eyes, and said: "The first thing, the Qin people and the Zhao people are at war in the Shangdang, and the Zhao general Lian Po knows how to fight, and in the case of insufficient food and no fighting spirit, he did not let the Qin people attack the land of Zhao State, and the Qin State regards him as the biggest disaster, I follow Lu Buwei's strategy, and publicize your reputation in a big way, so that you can replace Lian Po, just to let the Qin people change to a more incompetent opponent." ”
Zhao Kuo was surprised, he didn't know why Ying Yiren wanted to tell him this, he nodded and said, "I have become famous in Zhao Country these days, and it seems that I have to thank you a lot." ”
"You're welcome, that's the way it should be." , Ying Yiren shook his head, and said: "The second thing, you saw through Lu Buwei's strategy, and then told Xu Li, let Xu Li speak for General Lian Po, and went to visit Tian Dan, Le Yi and others, just to get a plan to defeat the Qin people, you sent two people to Shangdang County this morning, I am afraid that you will inform General Lian Po of the strategy obtained from the two of them." ”
"You!!" , Zhao Kuo couldn't stay calm anymore, he stood up suddenly, and glared at the Yingyi in front of him, how did he know? Finding the abnormality here, Li Yu and Xing in the distance stood up, Zhao Kuo glanced at them, shook his head, and sat down again.
"How do you know?"
"How else to say that the Qin State is inferior to the Zhao State? Qin law is strict, people are not allowed to wander around, otherwise they will be arrested, people who come and go must be able to prove their identity, to carry the test, pass, otherwise they can't even go out of half a mile, no one dares to open the net, Zhao State is different, in Zhao State, anyone can wander around without being punished, outsiders can settle at will without being interrogated, and bribe the prison door can enter and exit anywhere at will. ”
"Don't say it's your actions, it's what King Zhao eats today, and the Qin people know everything about it."
Zhao Kuo's face was a little pale, he had the illusion of being stripped naked and standing in front of Qin Ren, Qin Ren could see his every move, but he didn't know anything about it, Zhao Kuo trembled, calmed himself, he just looked at Ying Yiren, and he didn't understand why Ying Yiren was telling him this.
"Why are you telling me these things?"
"Listen in peace, I have a third thing to tell you."
Ying Yiren continued: "Zhao State lost on the battlefield, not only soldiers, but also Zhao Guoguo, they also hated this war, they felt that Zhao State fought with Qin State for the land of Korea, it was a thing that outweighed the loss, and the people were resentful, and at this time, who should they hate?" Who is responsible for all this? There were two people who proposed to accept the land of the party. ”
"It's a pity, one of them is King Zhao, will he allow himself to be the culprit? Of course not, then, it's another person, and it's a pity that the other person is Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng, Pingyuanjun has a great reputation in Zhao State, and the scholars love him, of course he can't be the culprit.... Therefore, Lian Po, who failed to repel the Qin people, but lost his land, made the generals captured, and the soldiers suffered many casualties, so he had to be the culprit. ”
If it weren't for his incompetence, how could we be where we are today? I don't blame King Zhao for this, I don't blame Pingyuan Jun, I can only blame Lian Po, in this situation where there is no way to advance and no way to retreat, Lian Po is destined to be unable to continue to serve as a general, he can only be a victim of King Zhao, and the current Zhao State, Tian Dan is not in Zhao, Le Yi is old and paralyzed, and in the party, most of them are Ma Fujun's former subordinates, so it can only be you. ”
"King Zhao, he knows that you are not as good as Lian Po, but what can you do? Among these mediocre people in Zhao Guo, you are already the best choice. ”
Ying Yiren grinned and said: "He can only blame Lian Po for the reason for the defeat and reuse you, otherwise, the prince who has a young and strong eye, and provokes the people to complain, and the soldiers are resentful, he, the king of Zhao, doesn't want to be trapped in the palace and starve to death." I think that you are just another Lian Po for King Zhao, you are a Lian Po who can die, if you are defeated, you will die, and Lian Po, he will survive. ”
"So I'm going to die?" , Zhao Kuo asked.
Ying Yiren shook his head and said, "You don't need to die. He stared at Zhao Kuo's eyes and said seriously: "Lu Buwei wants to plan the throne for me, I want you to follow me, I can take you out of Zhao Kingdom." I originally despised you, I didn't see your talent, you easily saw through Lu Buwei's strategy, you didn't become arrogant because of your reputation, and you can persuade Xu Li like that, I don't know if you are a general, but you can definitely become a good prime minister. ”
"I asked my wife to come to see you, I treat you as my relative, please help me, when I become the king of Qin, I can share the land of Qin with you."
"If I don't agree, I'll have to die on the battlefield?" , Zhao Kuo asked.
"Hahaha~~~", Ying Yiren suddenly laughed, at this moment, Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed too, his laughter gradually overshadowed the Ying Yiren in front of him, Ying Yiren stopped laughing, looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him in disbelief, Zhao Kuo laughed, tears of laughter came out, he stood up, looked at Ying Yiren in front of him, and said loudly: "In Mafu Township, there used to be a prison gate, this person is good at flattering me and I don't like it, this person's younger brother died in the Dan River." ”
"I once had a fellow villager, he was a shoe maker, and he starved to death at home."
"When I came to Handan, I saw a young city gatekeeper, and he also died."
"They can all die!! Why can't I, Zhao Kuo, die?!! ”
Ying Yiren was dumbfounded, fortunately, Li Yu and the others had already stood up, their hands had already been placed on the hilt of the sword, the sword was rattling, Zhao Kuo shook his head, looked at Ying Yiren again, and said: "Please tell General Bai Qi, indiscriminate killing of soldiers is not a good thing for Qin's road of conquest, if so, I am afraid that no one will dare to take refuge in Qin in the future, and the people of the world will continue to treat Qin as a barbarian, and they will hate Qin's tyranny." ”
"If we meet on the battlefield in the future, please let General Bai Qi spare the soldiers, and if you want to kill, kill me Zhao Kuo."
"Farewell!"
