After the end of the Zhao Dynasty meeting, the eldest husband Zhao Hao hurried to the Lou Mansion and informed Lou Xuan of everything that happened at the court meeting.

In the end, Zhao Hao said to Lou slowly: "Lord Lou Xuan, now that my Wang Yi is looking down, I have hesitated in my heart about whether to cede the six cities to Qin. I'm afraid that the agreement signed by Qin and Zhao has changed, and Lord Lou Zhuan must prepare in advance! ”

Lou Xuan said to Zhao Hao: "Thank you, Lord Zhao Hao, for speaking bluntly." I know that after two days, the old man will meet King Zhao in person. Look at that time, how did King Zhao reply to me? Decide the matter again. ”

Zhao Hao listened to it and hurriedly said: "This is very good! So much better! ”

After Zhao Hao left, Lou Chang said to his father Lou slowly: "Father, if King Zhao is unwilling to cede the Six Cities to the Qin State, what should I do?" ”

Lou Xuan pretended to be calm and said to his son Lou Chang: "Now the nearly 500,000 troops of Zhao State have been wiped out in the Battle of Changping. The current Zhao State is not the Zhao State during the reign of King Zhao Huiwen. For my father, Zhao Wangdan did not dare to break the contract, and he would definitely cut off the six cities in the Qin State, so my son did not have to worry. ”

After listening to his father's words, Lou Chang felt that it made sense and nodded.

Two days later, Lou slowly came to the Handan Palace to meet King Zhao.

Zhao Wangdan met with Lou Zhuan and said to Lou Huan: "Lord Lou Zhuan was originally the secretary of my Zhao State, and then on the order of my father, he went to Qin State to serve as Qin Minister. But in any case, Zhao Guo is the hometown of Lord Lou Xuan. ”

"Nowadays, the courtiers are arguing endlessly about whether to cede the six cities to Qin. The widow wants to ask Lord Downstairs, what do you think of this? Should I, Zhao State, give the six cities of Qin State, or not? ”

Lou Huan had already prepared in his heart, and after pretending to ponder, he slowly said to King Zhao: "As the king said, the old minister is a person from Zhao State, but now he is an envoy of Qin. For this matter, only the king can make a decision, and the old minister doesn't know how to answer, okay? ”

King Zhao waved his hand and said to Lou Yan: "Lord Lou Yan, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lou Xuan thought about it again, and said to King Zhao: "King, I don't know if the king has heard about Gongfu Wenbo's mother?" Gongfu Wenbo, who was an official in the Lu State, fell ill and died, and two of the concubines committed suicide in his bedroom for him. ”

When his mother heard this, she didn't cry. The housekeeper of the Gongfu Wenbo family, the domestic servants and others all said: "Where is there a son who dies and his mother doesn't cry a word?" ”

Gongfu Wenbo's mother said to everyone: "Confucius is a famous great sage in the world, and he was expelled by the Lu State, but no one followed Confucius. Now Wu'er has died, and two concubines committed suicide for him. “

"In a situation like this, it must be that he has a weak affection for the person who respects the elder, while he has a deep affection for his concubine. Why should I weep for such a son? When everyone heard this, they all said that their mother was virtuous. ”

"My lord, judging from the matter of Gongfu Wenbo's mother. If the mother of Gongfu Wenbo said such a thing, she was a virtuous mother; If his wife said such a thing, she would inevitably be called jealous. Therefore, although the words are all the same, due to the different positions of the speakers, the intentions of the people will also change. ”

"Now that the old minister has just returned from the Qin State, as a Qin envoy, if he says that he will not give the land of the six cities of the Qin State, it is not the best policy, nor is it what he should say as an envoy; But if you say that you are giving the land of the six cities of Qin, I am afraid that the king will think that the old minister is helping the Qin State, and he will have prejudices against the old minister. So the old minister didn't dare to answer, and he didn't dare to answer this question. ”

After Zhao Wangdan saw Lou Xuan say this, he said to Lou Xuan: "Lord Lou Xuan, you stand in the position of being a member of Zhao Guo, and say your opinion." Rest assured, the widow will not blame you. “

When Lou heard this, he pretended to think about it again, and after a while, he slowly said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, now the Qin State is strong and the army is strong, while my Zhao State is weak. ”

"If the old minister stands in the position of the Zhao people and thinks about the king, it is better to give the land to the six cities of the Qin State. Otherwise, the Qin army will definitely commit the Zhao State. At that time, I am afraid that the ancestors of my Zhao State will not be able to protect the society and the country. This is the humble opinion of the old minister, please adopt it to the king! ”

After listening to Lou Yan's words, Zhao Wangdan pondered for a moment and said to Lou slowly: "Good." What Lord Lou Xuan said is very true, the widow still gave Wu'an and other six cities to the Qin State according to the agreement signed with the Qin State! ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was also dissatisfied with ceding the six cities to the Qin state. Hearing this, he hurriedly ran to inform Yu Qing.

After listening to Zhao Sheng's words, Yu Qing was taken aback, what is going on with this Zhao Wangdan? I've explained everything to you clearly, and you still listen to Qin's words? We want to cede the Six Cities to the Qin State!

Yu Qing said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuan Jun, my king ceded Wu'an and other six cities to the Qin State, and my Zhao State is in danger!" ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also said to Yu Qing anxiously: "Lord Yu Qing, how is this matter good?" ”

Yu Qing thought for a while and said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, why don't you and I go to meet my king together, and let my king dispel this thought." How, you see? ”

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and said to Yu Qing: "This can only be the case!" ”

Zhao Wangdan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the report from the waiter, saying that Zhao Sheng and Yu Qing, the two of them came together to meet him.

Now in the courts of various countries in the Central Plains, there is a dispute between "Gong" and "cloth".

Zhao Guo's court is naturally no exception, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, eldest husband Zhao Hao and others are "Gong Clan"; And Shangqing Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing, General Lian Po and others are "cloth clothes".

Generally speaking, these two factions rarely interact with each other.

Of course, this is also a set of balancing techniques used by the kings of various countries above the court.

This time, Zhao Sheng and Yu Qing came together, and there must be something important.

Zhao Wangdan asked the waiter to hurriedly summon Yu Qing and Zhao Sheng to come.

After the two of them paid homage, King Zhao said to Yu Qing and Zhao Sheng: "I don't know Pingyuan Jun and Yu Qing, what important things do you two have to report to the widow?" ”

Yu Qing and Zhao Sheng looked at each other, and Yu Qing saw that Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, nodded to himself, so he didn't push back.

stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Wang Dan and said: "Great King, the minister heard of my king, in order to prepare to cede Wu'an and other six cities to the Qin State, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhao Wangdan looked at Yu Qing and Zhao Sheng, nodded and said, "Two Aiqing, there is indeed such a thing." After listening to the words of the widow, he felt that it made sense. Since I, the Zhao State, have signed an agreement with the Qin State, I will give the Qin State these six cities! lest war arise again. ”

Yu Qing said to King Zhao: "King, Lou Shu, as an envoy of Qin, is here to ask for these six cities for King Qin, how can he help my Zhao Kingdom?" Why didn't he say it, doing this is to show the princes of the world that my Zhao country is weak and can be bullied! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen advocates not giving land to Qin, not just resolutely not ceding the land. The state of Qin asked the king for six cities, and as Wei Chen saw, it was better for my king to give these six cities to the state of Qi. ”

"Your Majesty, the State of Qi is the mortal enemy of the State of Qin, and if it obtains the six cities of the Great King, it will join forces with my Zhao State to attack the State of Qin. As long as these six cities are handed over to the kingdom of Qi, the king of Qi will listen to my king's scheme, and he will agree to my king's approach. ”

"Although my king handed over these six cities to the Qi State, I, the Zhao State, will be able to be compensated by the Qin State in the future. In this way, the deep hatred between Qi and Zhao in the past can be eliminated, and it shows to the princes of the world that our king has great achievements. ”

"Great King, although the Six Kingdoms were in turmoil before the Battle of Changping. However, the destruction of Qin is the desire of today's people. The countries of the Central Plains, if they know that our Zhao State still has something to do, will definitely shake their pro-Qin hearts. ”

"Your Majesty, as long as I, the Zhao State, spread the word about the alliance between Qi and Zhao, and our army does not have to go to the border to inspect it, my king can see that the Qin State has sent valuable gifts to the Zhao State to sue for peace."

"Once peace is made with the king of Qin, Han and Wei will try their best to respect the king when they hear the news; If you want to pay homage to the king, you must take out your precious treasures and be the first to pay homage to the king. He will come to Zhao and conspire with me Zhao again. ”

"In this way, a move by the king can make friends with the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi, which also allows me to change the position of Zhao and Qin. In this way, wouldn't it be better to change the overall situation of the world in this move? Why wouldn't my king do it! Please enlighten the king. ”

At this time, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also stepped forward, bowed down and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yu Qing said is very true, and the minister seconded it. Please enlighten the king. ”

After Zhao Wangdan listened to Yu Qing's words, he saw Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, like this, thought for a while, and a smile appeared on his face.

This time, the young king did not be as stubborn as before, and finally listened to Yu Qing's words.

looked at Yu Qing and said loudly: "Okay, Yu Qing's plan is very good!" The widow took Yu Qing's words and did not offer land with the Qin State. I, the Zhao State and the Central Plains countries, join forces to resist Qin! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Wangdan said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, you are ordered to preside over this matter." Hurry to various countries and conspire to resist Qin. ”

Yu Qing clasped his hands into fists, bowed to King Zhao and said, "The minister obeys the edict." ”

Zhao Wangdan looked at Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng again, and said to the two: "This matter, pay attention to confidentiality." ”

Zhao Sheng and Yu Qing said together: "No." ”

In late May, in Zhao Guo's Lou Yan, he saw that Zhao Guo had not ceded the six cities.

After receiving the letter from Qin Wang Yingji, he was even more anxious.

Son Lou Chang helped his father, inquired in every possible way, and finally knew Zhao Guo's plan, hurried back to Lou's mansion, and reported to his father Lou Shu.

After Lou Shu listened to his son Lou Chang's words, he was shocked and couldn't speak.

In the end, his lips trembled and he said to his son Lou Chang: "For my father, King Zhao's plan to delay the army this time!" Wu'er, you should pay more attention to your own safety in Zhao Kingdom. As a father, he must rush back to Qin and report the matter to King Qin and Fan Xiangyu, and he can't stay in Zhao for a long time. ”

Lou Chang could only nod and said to Lou slowly: "Father, take care!" ”

Lou Chu didn't dare to stay in Zhao State anymore, so he asked his son Lou Chang to send him out of Handan overnight and run towards Qin State by car.
