Regarding the matter of Wei Guo taking refuge in Yan State and taking the initiative to become a vassal state of Yan State, Qin Wang Yingji was extremely unhappy in his heart.

"Zhongqing, Yan Guokang, this kid, is so bold. As soon as he ascended the throne as king, he destroyed my ally, the Qi country, and now he is even more Nawei as his vassal state. Its ambition is already evident. ”

"Now that the Zhou Dynasty has died, my Qin State has moved Jiuding to my Xianyang, and I should inherit the Zhou Dynasty and be the right thing for the world. But this Yan country kid has repeatedly challenged the authority of my Qin country, which can be described as extremely arrogant. ”

"The widow endured it again and again, but this Yanwang Xiaoer still didn't know how to restrain himself, and he wanted to go crazy. If it goes on like this, it's okay. The widow wants to raise an army to attack it, but I don't know if the secretary agrees or not? ”

King Yingji of Qin was above the court and said to the ministers in a furious manner.

As soon as Qin Xiang Cai Ze heard Yingji's words, he became anxious.

Hurriedly stood up and said to Yingji: "King, now that my Qin State has just recovered Hedong County, the county guard Wang Ji reported to the court, saying that the Wei State has made frequent moves, and has united Han and Zhao to plot Hedong again. ”

"And I, the army of General Zhao of Hangu of Qin, fought fiercely with Wei in Wucheng; General Wang Yi led his army to garrison Anyang, and he also faced pressure from Zhao and Wei at any time. At this time, my Qin State will raise troops to attack Yan again, it's not appropriate! ”

Cai Ze didn't say that Wang Ji was fine, but when Wang Ji was mentioned, Yingji was angry.

"Xiangguo, this Hedong County Shouwang Ji is too disappointing to the widow. After the last Battle of Handan, the combined forces of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han invaded Hedong, and Wang Ji actually abandoned Hedong County and fled back to Xianyang without authorization. ”

The widow looked at Fan Xiang's face and didn't blame him. Instead, after recapturing Hedong County, let him continue to serve as the county guard. The widow asked him to lead the army of Hedong to the south to seize other cities of Wei. ”

"As long as Wang Ji leads the army south, he will be able to cooperate with General Zhao Yi to attack Anyi, the former capital of Wei, and form a north-south attack. But so far, Wang Ji has not made the slightest move. Xiangguo, do you know why this Wang Ji is like this? ”

Cai Ze has heard a little wind about what Wang Ji did in Hedong in Xianyang.

At this time, when he heard Yingji say this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "King, the minister doesn't know. ”

Yingji sneered twice, and said to Cai Ze and the other ministers in the court:

According to Wang Ji's subordinates, this Wang Ji is really bold. He actually privately accepted bribes from Wei and was unwilling to send troops south to crusade against Wei, so General Zhao Yi led our Hanguguan army alone and fought hard with the Wei army in Wucheng. ”

The more Qin Wang Yingji spoke, the more angry he became, and when he talked about this, he shouted loudly:

"Come and pass on the edict of the widow. Hedong County guards Wang Ji, privately accepts bribes from the enemy country, and disregards the country's kindness, and can lock up and take Xianyang back to Xianyang, behead and show the public, and must not violate. ”

"No." The acolyte under the throne stood up and bowed down to receive the edict.

Xiangguo Cai Ze shook his head and said in his heart: "Fan Xiang, when you leave, let me take care of Wang Ji." But Wang Ji has committed such a serious crime, and I can't save his life anymore! can only find a way not to involve his family. ”

After Yingji vented her anger, her mood calmed down a little.

I looked at the ministers above the court, who lowered their heads and said nothing.

He sighed and said, "Let's retreat." Xiangguo Cai Ze stayed, and the widow had something to discuss. ”

After all the ministers withdrew from the main hall, King Yingji of Qin stood up from the throne and came to Cai Ze.

"Xiangguo, you are a person from Yan Kingdom. What do you think of Yan Guo now, and even this Yan Wang Kang? Can you tell the widow? ”

When Cai Ze heard Qin Wang Yingji's words, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

Knowing that Yingji, the old man, already has suspicions about himself.

Sure enough, it is "a companion is like a tiger".

If you are not careful, you may cause death!

However, from Yingji's tone, Cai Ze also heard that Qin Wang Yingji was deeply jealous of Yan Wangkang.

After Cai Ze pondered for a while, he bowed down and replied to King Yingji of Qin:

"The king, although the minister is a Yan person, he has not held an official position in the Yan country. When he was young, he wanted to serve his homeland. Submitted a letter to King Yan Hui, talking about the disadvantages of Yan Kingdom, but was driven out of Jidu by King Yan Hui. ”

"After Weichen left Jidu, he traveled around the world. Only when he came to the Qin State and was valued by my king and Fan Xiang, he was given the importance of the ministers. The ministers are loyal to the Qin State, and I ask the king to see clearly. ”

After listening to Cai Ze's words, Yingji nodded, and heard the meaning of Cai Ze's words.

"Xiangguo, there is no doubt about your place, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cai Ze bowed and replied.

"The king asked the ministers to talk about it, and now they have an opinion on Yan Guo and even Yan Wang Kang, and the ministers boldly explain one or two things to our king."

Yingji said to Cai Ze: "Xiangguo said boldly, you can say anything, and the widow will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Cai Ze looked at the expression on Yingji's face and found that Yingji's expression had calmed down.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Yan rose during the reign of King Yan Zhao, but after King Yan Hui, he excluded the courtiers used by his father, King Yan Zhao. The outside was restored to the country by Tiandan, and the grandson Cao killed the monarch inside, which can be described as turbulent and exhausted. ”

However, since King Yan Wu ascended the throne, under the auspices of Sun Cao, the prince of Yan, the Yan State began to recuperate and gradually restore its national strength. During the tenure of King Yanwu, the biggest use of troops was to fight with my Qin State and the Zhao State. ”

"Although I, the Qin State and the Yan State, will attack the Zhao State in the north and south. Because Qi Guotian led the army to aid Zhao, it was unsuccessful. Yan Guo lost Zhongyang County because of this. However, for Yan, the national strength has not been damaged too much. ”

During this period, Yan Wang Kang was named the king of Liaocheng and began to rise in Liaodi. With all due respect, Yan Wang Kang can be described as a "demon", following his ancestor King Yan Zhao in Liaodi, recruiting talents, and the old ministers of the Yan Zhao Dynasty have joined his command. ”

First of all, the famous minister Ju Xin followed him, and then Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian went to Liaodi, and the general Rong Yi was finally recruited to Liaodi. It can be said that this Yan Wang Kang inherited his Taizu King Yan Zhao in Liaodi, leaving the greatest inheritance to the Yan Kingdom. ”

"It is with the help of Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yi and other people that this Yan Wang Kang, with his immature body, can swallow the surrounding countries of Liaodi, open up thousands of miles of territory for Yan State, accept millions of people, and restore Yan State to a great power."

When Qin Wang Yingji heard this, he sighed: "What Xiangguo said is extremely true! King Yan Zhao's biggest inheritance to Yan Kingdom, his son King Yan Hui and his grandson King Wucheng did not get it, but was inherited by this Yan King Kang. ”

Because of this, Yan Wang Kang was also in Liaodi, and with the help of these people, he was able to rise. It was also because of his actions in Liaodi that he ascended to the throne of Yan Kingdom. Xiangguo, please continue to give the widow. ”

"No." Qin Xiang Cai Ze replied.

"Your Majesty, what Yan Wang Kang did in Liaodi is really amazing! As a king, no matter how incompetent he is, he cannot ignore it. In this way, Yan Wang Kang was made king by Yan Wu, and he was established as the crown prince of Yan State in the next generation. ”

After his father, King Yan Xiaocheng, ascended the throne, he adopted his advice. In the Yan Kingdom, a large-scale reform was carried out, changing customs and customs, and counties were established, and the gate valve nobles were swept away. At this point, the national strength of Yan can be said to have recovered to the highest peak of the Yan Zhao Dynasty. ”

"During the period when Yan Xiaocheng was king, the largest use of troops by Yan State to the outside world was during the battle between our Qin and Zhao countries and Handan, when they traveled thousands of miles, went south to the party, and used troops against our Qin State. The minister bluntly said, my Qin State has suffered huge losses in this battle! ”
