Chapter Twenty-Six: The Guilt of Petitioning
The soldiers returned, stayed in Lin Yang for a short time, King Zhao and Lin Xiangru paraded here, everywhere the king's footprints went, there were people in the middle of the road to welcome King Zhao, bathed in the people's pursuit, feel the glory, ecstatic King Zhao, from time to time and Lang Zhong Ling Lin Xiangru communicated: "Aiqing, you said that the last time the King of Qin wanted to and the family Bi, will you mention it?" ”
"Back to my king, the greed of the king of Qin, don't let it go, don't be afraid"
After Lin Xiangru spoke, King Zhao sought a solution.
"My king thinks about it, is the king of Qin greedy for money?"
"Not like"
"Is it a man who loves rare treasures?"
"What does Aiqing mean?"
"What I want to do with the clan is just to compete with my king, test the attitude of the king of my Zhao country, and see if Zhao Guo has the confidence to tear his face with the Qin country, so as to understand the bottom line of my Zhao country, and further use the harmony of the family bi to test the reality of my Zhao country" After Lin Xiangru's words, King Zhao suddenly became enlightened.
"In other words, at this time, the Qin State will not have too much, and ask me Zhao Guo for treasures? Is that right?" asked King Zhao.
Then Lin Xiangru replied: "What the Qin State needs right now is Chu Land"
"Chudi? What does love mean?"
"Think about it, the king thinks about it, the Qin State has taken over Bashu, and there is a lot of grain and grass here, but Yan Ying of the Chu State is adjacent to the Bashu of the Qin State, do you think that the Qin State will make Bashu empty for defense?" Lin Xiangru said.
King Zhao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is this the posture of the Qin State wanting to annex the world? ”
"My king said that he laughed, the Qin State wants to annex the world, doesn't my king have this ambition?" After listening to Lin Xiangru's words, I saw King Zhao thinking about it, and then said: "I think, I think about it day and night, I want to sleep when I eat, I think about it from the moment I Zhao Wuling King Hufu rode and shooted, and I Zhao Guojun thought about it from generation to generation."
Lin Xiangru then knelt on the ground and bowed to King Zhao: "King, Lin Xiangru knows that he is not talented, and I hope that my king will be located in Lin Xiangru, so as to assist my king in plotting the world."
"Okay, great, this king has been waiting for Aiqing's statement, it's been too long" After King Zhao spoke, he picked up Lin Xiangru, and then said: "From now on, you are the prime minister of my Zhao country, and if you want to assist this king to want the world, it depends on you and my monarchs and ministers."
Lin Xiangru looked at King Zhao, and then said: "Xiangru must bow to the end of his life, be loyal to Zhao State, do his best, even if his life ends, his soul belongs to Zhao State!" ”
"Okay, it's really good, today this king is going to set up a banquet to celebrate that my Zhao country has been able to be a minister since then, haha......" King Zhao was overjoyed.
At this time, the scenery of Lin Yang City was beautiful, and Wang Jian and others were secretly spying on King Zhao and Lin Xiangru, from which Wang Jian felt the personality of King Zhao.
Wang Jian asked, "What do you think of this King Zhao?"
After Li Xin observed, he said calmly: "What do you mean?"
"Speak up"
Li Xin replied: "In terms of ability, King Zhao has a certain ability but is far inferior to King Qi, from the point of view, King Zhao's vision is more unique, think about Lin Xiangru such a capable minister, he does not care about everyone's opinions and stands on his own, from this point of view, this King Zhao can be described as courageous."
Meng Tian answered: "But this move also shows that King Zhao is too arbitrary."
Li Xin asked: "How can you see it?"
"Think about it, such a dictatorial king is good about things, but if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable," Meng Tian said.
Everyone thought about it carefully, and then, everyone wanted to hear Wang Qian's opinion on King Zhao.
"Wisdom, benevolence, bravery, morality, and strategy look at King Zhao in five aspects, first of all, when it comes to wisdom, King Zhao's wisdom is outstanding, but because he thinks too much, he often limits his wisdom, benevolence and righteousness, King Zhao has, but when it comes to the general trend of the world, benevolence and righteousness alone will not work, King Zhao also understands, so he tries to change, but he makes himself fall into the positive and negative and difficult to extricate himself, so as to appear indecisive, courage, King Zhao is lacking, but the courage of the capable ministers to support the King of Zhao will be enhanced, and if the ministers disagree, King Zhao will enter a situation that is difficult to choose, and in terms of morality, King Zhao does have the ability to take the lead, eat porridge with the people, and be sympathetic to the people's feelings, but the king is a king after all, a toothless tiger, how to lead the forest, and finally from the point of view, there is a small plan but no big plan, because King Zhao has always taken Hufu riding and archery as a concept of governance, and has not made progress, resulting in stagnation and difficulty in achieving great things"
When everyone heard this, Meng Tian replied: "According to what you said, King Zhao's ability is not bad, but he has been in the positive and negative for a long time, which leads to the overall indecision, so he is a Ming monarch, but not the king of troubled times, right?" ”
"Hmm!"
At this time, on the other side, Lian Po was furious when he heard it: "What! Did that sycophant really become a prime minister? It's really unreasonable, it's really a sycophant, somehow it became Lang Zhongling, and now it's actually my Zhao Xiang, what kind of drug did my king take from him, it's like this"
On the side, Li Mu said: "Actually, Lin Xiangru is okay, not like what the general said."
"What do you know, that one who only eats by mouth, has no real ability to learn, I Lian Po just look down on this kind of person, when I go to court in the future, see how I make it difficult for him" After Lian Po spoke, a courtier heard it and told Lin Xiangru about the matter 1510 when he had the opportunity.
Lin Xiangru, who heard the information, according to the cohesion of the court, is no less than Lian Po, it can be said that Lian Po has influence among the generals, and Lin Xiangru is deeply supported by the ministers, of course, this is the taboo of Zhao State.
King Zhao Wenzhilian quite a sentiment to Lin Xiangru, it's hard to say anything, after the court meeting, the ministers left, King Zhao shouted Lin Xiangru: "Xiangguo"
"King!" Lin Xiangru paid a visit, and then King Zhao said: "What Xiangguo said today is that it is very good to condense the Qin State and the King of Qi State."
Lin Xiangru then said: "My king thinks this plan is feasible? ”
"Hmm"
"Thank You for the King's Approval"
"It's just ......"
The king's words stopped talking, and then he continued: "You and General Lian Po don't seem to be very compatible."
"My king has no solution, just like General Lian Po, one article and one martial arts, everyone is for Zhao Guo, maybe sometimes there are different opinions and concepts, so that outsiders think that we will be at odds, so I can't understand the profound meaning"
Hearing this, King Zhao made the topic clear from time to time: "General Lian Po is very displeased with your competence in Xiangguo, do you know?" ”
Lin Xiangru hesitated for a while, and then the king said: "This king is a lot of things, but this word has already spread, do you have any ideas?" This king is the master for the two of you, just say, if Lian Po is wrong, this king will definitely talk about him"
After the king's words, I saw Lin Xiangru kneeling down and told the king: "Great king, Lin Xiangru asks for something."
"But it doesn't hurt to say"
"Since ancient times, there is a country and a family, there is a monarch and a minister, the discord between the courtiers is the great misfortune of the king, the civil and military discord is the danger of the country, General Lian Po has experienced a hundred battles, and the arrogance is naturally there, but Lin Xiangru looks at the national level, not to care, because the change of the phase, then the chaos of the country, can not have, if the Qin King Lin Xiangru has the courage to die without retreating, it is because of the enemy, and for General Lian Po, Lin Xiangru will retreat when he can retreat, let it go, because it is loyal to the country" Lin Xiangru looked at King Zhao after speaking.
Can't hold back the tears, thanksgiving, after King Zhao heard Lin Xiangru's words, he understood that he didn't promote the wrong person, and he was quite loyal if he didn't say it!
Since then, Lin Xiangru has done what he said, seeing Lian Po is, let it go, when everything is a-for-tat topic, Lin Xiangru can retreat, up and down is walking behind Lian Po, obviously can avoid it, Lian Po is very happy to see this phenomenon.
"That sycophant, seeing me Lian Po, it's like a fox seeing a tiger, scared, indescribable, I really laughed to death, haha"
After Lian Po spoke, the military generals on the side praised and said: "General Lian Po is mighty, specializing in deterring the crooked tendencies in the court, no matter what happens to that sycophant, our general will not back down half a step, and wants to use sycophants to be with our general, it's really a fool's dream, haha"
Day after day, the news reached the king, and seeing that Lin Xiangru was timid in his daily plans, King Zhao decided to have a good talk with Lian Po.
"How's it going? Aiqing"
"Thanks to the king's love, everything is fine with Lian Po"
Hearing this, King Zhao was worried from time to time: "Why is my king sad? Lian Po asked.
King Zhao replied: "Recently, the king's right hand has not been very comfortable."
"What's the matter, my king? Isn't it cold and cold?"
"yes, but my left hand is fine"
"Then my king should pay more attention to the warmth of his right hand"
King Zhao looked at Lian Po, and then said, "General Lian Po! You are a military general, this king only sees you straight to the point."
"My king?" Lian Po felt that King Zhao seemed to have something very important to say, so he listened carefully.
"Between you and Lin Xiangru, you are a civil and military general but there is a private discord, General Lian Po is also a person who distinguishes between right and wrong, what is the final result of discord, you should know very well" After the king's words, Lian Po was very displeased: "Is it Lin Xiangru said something in front of the king?"
"Hmm!"
"How can this be justified?"
"He said that for the sake of Zhao State, he can't go against General Lian Po, after all, General Lian Po is the sword of Zhao State, the last time he was with the family, if it weren't for General Lian Po's 200,000 army, it would be difficult to return safely with the king, the reason for avoiding General Lian Po is not because of fear, if he is afraid of death, there will be no threat to the King of Qin with the Heshi Bi, how can the interests of the country be covered by private vanity?" After King Zhao spoke, Lian Po immediately knelt down: "King! Lian Po knows his mistakes! Lian Po is a big husband, and he actually behaves like a woman, and he is so jealous, Lian Po deserves death."
"General, Lin Xiangru is indeed very good, and I hope that the general will have a deep friendship so that he can understand the intentions of the king today" After King Zhao spoke, Lian Po's face was full of tears, and then he immediately got up and left.
At this time, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, appeared, looked at King Zhao, and then said, "Does my king think this matter is appropriate?" ”
"General Lian Po's personality, you and I know it very well"
On the other side, Lin Xiangru was in the mansion, watering the trees, at this time someone knocked on the door, opened the door, and instantly knelt on the ground, exposed his upper body, with thorns behind him, and buried his head in pleading.
"General, why is that?"
"I also hope that Xiangguo will not blame the past, and you and I will be of the same mind in the future, and assist my king to conspire with the world"
