Chapter 24: King Zhao wins
At the end of the Warring States Period, after Qin Xiaogong made great efforts, the Qin State changed the law from Shang Ying, which promoted the prosperity of Qin's agriculture, soldiers, and made Qin's national strength rise in an all-round way.
Each subsequent generation of Qin kings has also lived up to the expectations of their ancestors, and none of them are wasted monarchs, even if they are brave and resourceful and civilized in the whole territory of the Warring States period, King Wu of Qin is by no means a mediocre generation.
From a heroic point of view, it can be regarded as a true man, although it seems to be very aggrieved in the Zhou Dynasty, but in essence, it really inspired the ambition of the Qin people, and also promoted the vassal states to accelerate the overthrow of the false rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At present, far away in Handan City, King Zhao tastes a bowl of light white rice porridge, feels the food of the people, the simplicity of the people, and deeply understands the suffering of the people in the troubled times and the Warring States: "The food of the people, the survival of the country in the world, which contains simplicity, eat the rice porridge of the people, and look at the sky of the world"
Later, Lin Xiangru entered the painting: "The people take food as the sky, the country is based on food, and the most important reason why the princes of the world can stabilize the country is to appease the people."
"Aiqing's words are the doubts of the widow for many days"
"I Zhao Wuling King, Hu Fu cavalry shooting, vigorously promote the military construction of Zhao State, originally my Zhao national style is strong, brave in the world, looking at the world of a group of heroes, Qi State is an old imperial princes, its domineering world has become a thing of the past, Chu State is now said to be not weak, but because the roots are too wide domestic ministers, the heart of competition for favor and glory is too strong, resulting in Chu State, it is difficult to concentric and ambitious, Yan Han is a small country not to be afraid, and Wei Zhiqiang has also become a thing of the past, such as today can be called powerful, maybe only I Zhao and Qin" Lin Xiangru after speaking.
King Zhao put down the rice porridge and looked at Lin Xiangru: "Aiqing's words, the widow is pleasing to the eye, in fact, if it is so powerful today, it is nothing more than that my Zhao State and Qin State have quite potential, Qi State seems to be powerful, but it is just a paper tiger entrenched in the east, it is difficult to make a big difference, coupled with Qi Yan's hatred, repeated fights, in addition, Qi Guo's concerns and my Zhao State and Chu State, will not expand rashly, at most, it is a male soldier in the family, and the soldiers are prosperous, it is inevitable to be consumed by Yan State, and for my Zhao State, it is not too dangerous."
"What my king says is true, but what does my king think of the people's hearts?"
"O people! It's not just a matter of eating and drinking, once you get rich, you will pursue a sense of happiness, and many times, when a real war is imminent, whether it is the king or the people who are worried, they can't help themselves, and the so-called three points of heaven are destined to depend on hard work."
Lin Xiangru thought for a moment, and then said: "What my king has made clear is indeed so, just like when King Wu Lu attacked Chu State, the people were not poor and watched Wu Chu fight, and it seemed that there was not much interference, watching Chu almost lose the country"
"By the way, Aiqing, this king is going to worship you as a minister, I don't know what you think?" After King Zhao spoke, he saw Lin Xiangru quickly knelt on the ground, and repeatedly pushed and said: "King, Lin Xiangru is blessed by my lord's love, but you are the prime minister of the country and have no substance to demonstrate, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
"What's this? The widow makes you the prime minister, who else dares to say no? ”
"Having said that, but my king thinks about it carefully, and embarrass the ministers for Lin Xiangru, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the future society of Zhao State, it is really impossible, the king should not be impulsive" After Lin Xiangru spoke, King Zhao persuaded him.
"I know that there are many opportunities for the widow, and we need capable people to share the pressure"
"The king, even if Lin Xiangru is not a phase, he is still sharing the burden for the king"
"Well, since Aiqing insists on this, this king can't restrain this matter too much."
"The king's kindness is like a deep honor, but it needs something that can show its ability, and wouldn't it be better to receive the king's favor again?" Lin Xiangru's words have three, the first embodiment of the ability to let the king canonize the inner peace, the second group of ministers will admire and then facilitate better behavior, the third is not for the previous Lin Xiangru can better understand the world, of course the king agreed, and then since the king has agreed with Lin Xiangru, promotion is a matter of time, mainly depends on his ability, Lin Xiangru is full of confidence in the ability.
When he was young, a messenger came, and the king of Qin pre-exchanged the city for Zhao Guohe's bi: "Oh, come to Aiqing to see, now Qin is ready to exchange the city for my Zhao country's treasure and clan, what do you think?"
Lin Xiangru replied: "King! The King of Qin named the city in exchange for He's Bi, maybe he wouldn't give the city at all."
"What do you mean by that?"
"The king thinks about it, Qin is a barbarian country, and the king of Qin knows that He's Bi is a priceless treasure, and now he just wants to deceive my Zhao State's Heshibi, and the matter of offering the city is just a trick," Lin Xiangru said.
Of course, how could King Zhao not know King Qin's thoughts: "The widow also knows that King Qin must have deceit, but if he rejects the intention of Qin State, it seems that he will provoke a direct conflict between the two countries again, and it is really disadvantageous, and at present, since the battle of Shangjun, the alliance between Qin and Zhao has been repaired, and King Yingji of Qin has already sent his grandson Chu to Zhao State as a hostage, you see how my Zhao State should be now"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiangru asked again and again: "Dare to ask my king, do you still want to make Xiangru a thing?" ”
"Of course, Aiqing is willing, at any time, my Zhao State just needs a talent like Aiqing, above the martial arts, Zhao Guo already has Lian Po, Zhao Luxury, Tu Qi, and Lan Feng, and above the text, it is far from enough to have Zhao Sheng's son, not to mention that Zhao Sheng belongs to a capable minister with both civil and military skills, and he is completely a person who controls the phase with literature alone, and there is still a lack of "King Zhao's words."
Lin Xiangru hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I implore my king to hand over the matter of this exchange of Heshi Bi to Lin Xiangru, and Xiangru will definitely return to Zhao!" ”
"Aiqing! This trip may cost you your life, and how can a widow appreciate you so much, how can they see you die in vain? Let's do something else."
After King Zhao spoke, Lin Xiangru said proudly: "King! What could be more important than the treasure of our country, He's Bi? ”
"Aiqing said and laughed, no matter how peerless He's Bi is, it's just a piece of jade, and Aiqing is my Zhao State's heavy courtier, how can it be compared" After King Zhao's words, he only listened to Lin Xiangru and said: "My king, like a plan, what He's Bi lost is not jade, but the face of Zhao State, the dignity of Zhao State, once lost, Qin State will take advantage of the excuse to come to crusade against my Zhao State, the reason is that Zhao State is easy to bully!" ”
Wang thought about the importance of this, and when he hesitated again and again, he saw Lin Xiangru smile and said, "My king does not believe in Xiangru's ability?" ”
Then King Zhao understood, Lin Xiangru! Since he is a capable minister he likes, he will definitely not let himself down, so King Zhao decided to let Lin Xiangru fight.
In 279 A.D., a grand banquet was held in Mianchi, and the king of Zhao came to Mianchi accompanied by Lin Xiangru, and when he was not officially seated at this time, the king of Qin Zhaoxiang had already greeted the king of Zhao outside the door early, and the actual phenomenon made the king of Zhao a little flattered.
Because in the eyes of King Zhao, King Yingji of Qin belongs to a high-ranking person, it is indeed very abnormal to be able to greet himself like this, and the way of etiquette makes King Zhao worry in his heart, how can there be love for no reason in the world? King Zhao knows it well.
At this time, after the two kings worshipped, Yingji smiled and said: "King Zhao is polite"
"King Qin!" King Zhao responded, and then Lin Xiangru asked a Wang guard, beside King Zhao, this person's name is Guo Yuan, a personal guard next to Wang is very loyal, light, and honest.
Of course, why do you need to focus on previewing a guard at this time, because after the story, his son will be introduced, that is, because of the merits of the king of the guard at this time, his descendants are more common in all aspects, and their entry into officialdom is smooth and unimpeded.
His son was born in 264 BC, that is, Guo Kai, who finally turned the Zhao Kingdom upside down and became famous!
"Today, you and I must drink wild songs, and the turbid wine will talk about who is the hero"
King Zhao was peaceful, and his heart was extremely sad: "It turns out that today is the birthday banquet of King Qin, so the matter of He's Bi must not be simple, how can it be good in this way?"
Looking at Lin Xiangru beside him, the guard Guo Yuan stood beside the king, and Lin Xiangru squeezed the king's hand, and the king of Qin was very embarrassed to see his phenomenon, and looked back at the close minister Wang Yu.
"My king has prepared a feast for you, please!" After Wang Yi spoke, he saw King Zhao and his courtiers entering the palace.
At this moment, on the other side, Wang Jian and others returned to the army after bidding farewell to Wu Anjun Baiqi, and under the leadership of Wu Xi, the commander Yu Xiao gave Wang Jian and others a customs clearance document.
"This document is a gift from me in Zhao State, and your task to go to Zhao State this time is to make sure that the details of the horse master Zhao Hao are clear, and it will only be used by our Qin State in the future" After Yu Xiao spoke, Wang Jian and others received the order.
With a few of his brothers, all the way north, when they arrived at the Yanmen Pass, Wang Jian and others exclaimed from time to time: "Hangu Pass is the junction of my Great Qin and the Central Plains, the Central Plains civilization, and this Yanmen Pass, but the Qin, Zhao and Xiongnu Northland Fortress, the spirit of spirit, no less than the courage of Hangu Pass"
After Wang Jian spoke, Meng Tian's surprise followed: "It's more than that."
When he was young, Wang Jian looked at Meng Tian: "Lord Bai Qi told me something about ......" Wang Jian suddenly stopped talking, and then Meng Yi said: "You can talk about whatever you want, but can you fill your stomach first?"
Hearing this, it seemed that Yan Ying and Brie were also starting to get hungry, and because the dry food along the way was exhausted, several strong warriors decided to fill their stomachs first, and then the hot meat buns brought bursts of aftertaste: "Zhao people are good at pasta, it seems to be the taste of meat buns"
A gluttonous look Xu Mu, I don't know when, suddenly appeared, everyone looked at it, and sighed from time to time: "Hey, Xu Mu, you just love to eat, when to put food first"
Hearing Li Xin's sarcasm, Xu Mu pursed his mouth, and then said: "Better than you, you are in love all day long, I really don't understand, where did your sister come from to say this, it makes people feel tired of looking at you"
Li Xin smiled slightly, and then looked at Briji: "Love love? ”
Lan Elk slapped Li Xin, let's go eat first!
