Chapter 25: Response (I)
In mid-February, it was still a little cold.
But the pace of spring is unstoppable.
This era and this season of thistle capital is the most beautiful in Ji Kang's eyes.
There is no wind and sand in the previous life, let alone any pollution.
The sky is blue and white clouds.
The peach trees planted in the streets and alleys have already revealed their pink cores; The goose-yellow willow branches are also swaying gently in the breeze. Even in the gentle breeze, there is a hint of sweetness.
The whole city is shrouded in the green of early spring.
The magnolia flowers planted in front of the pavilions, platforms, floors and pavilions in the Ji Palace have all bloomed in the sun.
Just after noon, in the affinity hall at the back of the palace hall, Ji Kang was reviewing a few copies of the recital.
The warm sunlight shone on the young king's face, making Ji Kang feel extremely comfortable.
With the popularization of paper in Yanguo, in the past few years, the entire Yanguo has eliminated the bulky slips.
In the palace, many of the original slips were also sorted out by Ji Kang's order, and most of them were donated to Xiangping Academy in Jidu. In the thistle palace, only a few important slips were left, which still cannot be disclosed to the public.
In the Affinity Palace, the Taishi who returned from collecting wind in Qidi was high.
At this time, he was also sitting in a corner by the window in the Affinity Hall, and was writing hard.
Gao Yang was very happy in his heart, because as soon as he came back from Qidi, he was given an order by Ji Kang, asking him to collect various historical materials with a group of teachers and students from Xiangping Academy to begin compiling the history books of ancient China to the present.
This kind of thing, for Taishi Ling Gao Yang, can be said to be his favorite.
Gao Yang still remembers the words of his young king to him:
"Taishi Ling, my Chinese civilization has a long history. However, much of the history from ancient times to the present day has not been described in writing. Let's not talk about the far, but closer, the thousands of years of history of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties have actually appeared faults. ”
"This is a huge loss for my Chinese civilization. If we continue to let this go, I am afraid that many years later, my descendants of China will not know what our predecessors in China have done for this nation. ”
"Let's start now, sort out the various historical records left to us by our predecessors. The history of our predecessors is recorded in complete words, and it is compiled into the history textbooks of our Yan Kingdom, and it will be passed on for eternity! ”
A sentence that has been passed down for eternity made Taishi Ling Gao Yang excited as if he had been beaten with "chicken blood".
He deeply knows that not to mention the ancient history, that is, the history books of the three historical dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou, if the compilation is completed, as the person who presides over the compilation of this history book, he will inevitably be famous with this history book for eternity.
Now the governments of all counties and counties in Yan have received the edict issued by Ji Kang to collect all kinds of slips scattered among the people. These collected slips were sorted out and kept by the government, and began to be transported to Xiangping College in Jidu one after another.
Huang Yong of the Intelligence Bureau, carrying several secret reports from the Intelligence Bureau in both hands, walked into the hall.
Huang Yong bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, the intelligence bureau has sent news from Daliang that Zhao Wangdan sent an envoy to Daliang to secretly meet with Wei Wangyu, I don't know what they talked about?" In addition, Zhao also had the phenomenon of transferring troops to the border of Weiguo. ”
After that, Huang Yong handed several pieces of information in his hand to Ji Kang.
Ji Kang picked up the information handed over by Huang Yong one by one and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, Ji Kang put down the information in his hand, frowned slightly, and pondered.
After a while, he said to Huang Yong:
"Let our intelligence personnel in Zhao and Wei pay close attention to the court of Zhao and Wei, and even the movements of the armies of the two countries, at any time, and report as soon as there is news."
"In addition, send a letter to Lu Zhonglian, the minister of Qidi, and even the generals Wang Shi and Bo Wang, asking them to dispatch troops, pay close attention to the movements of the armies of Zhao and Wei, and wait for the edict of the widow."
"No." Huang Yong responded with a fist.
After Huang Yong left, Ji Kang stood up, came to the map hanging in front of the hall, and looked at it.
After a while, Ji Kang said a few words softly: "The wind and rain are coming, the wind is full of buildings!" ”
Tai Shi Ling Gao Yang in the corner was listening with his ears pointed at the beginning.
Hearing Ji Kang's words, he quickly recorded Ji Kang's words.
The literary brilliance of his own king is really amazing! Beside him, you can often hear punch lines!
Ji Kang does not have the leisure elegance of Taishi Ling Gaoyang, and all kinds of thoughts are constantly surging in his mind at this time.
He walked slowly through the hall, wandered around twice, and then stopped.
Turning to the attendant waiting beside him, Ling Wang Congdao:
"You go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion in front and call a few cabinet ministers, and in addition, let Tian Guang, the commander of the palace guards, also attend this meeting."
"No."
The attendant ordered the king never to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his head and walked out.
After more than a moment, the five people of the pavilion and the drama, Su Bei, Su Dai, Jiangqu, and even Tian Guang, walked in.
"Meet my king."
"You don't have to be polite, let's sit down."
"Thank you, my king."
After everyone sat down, Ji Kang handed a few pieces of information sent by Huang Yong and asked the attendant Ling Wang Cong to hand them to everyone for circulation.
"This is a few pieces of information sent back by the Intelligence Bureau from the Great Liang of Wei and Handan of Zhao State. You circulate it, it seems that the tree wants to be quiet, and the wind does not stop, what do Zhao and Wei want to do? ”
After reading these pieces of information, Ju Xin, Su Yu and others couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder.
After a while, Su Dai stood up and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the movements of Zhao and Wei must be related to the Qin State. At the end of last year, Qin suspended its military strikes against Han, Wei, and Zhao. ”
"And sent envoys to Zhao and Wei, wanting to make peace with Zhao. The purpose of the Qin State in doing this, the minister analyzed, and the goal must be to our Yan State. After the Qin State sees that our Yan Kingdom has unified the Qi land, it will inevitably encircle all countries and suppress our Yan Kingdom. ”
Prime Minister Qu also stood up and said to Ji Kangyan:
"Your Majesty, what Su Xiang said is extremely true. Seeing the rise of our Yan State, the Qin State will inevitably take action. Although our Yan State has appraised an alliance with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu, and promised non-aggression against each other. ”
"However, now who in the Central Plains countries will really put the covenant and other matters! As long as it is beneficial to one's own country, the covenant signed is nothing more than a piece of waste paper, and countries tear it up if they want to. ”
After Ji Kang listened to the words of Su Dai and Jiang Qu, he watched the drama Xin and Su belly who were still pondering:
"Drama Xiang, Su Xiang, the two of you also talk about your own thoughts, what do Zhao and Wei want to do?"
Su Yu stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said:
"Your Majesty, the words of Su Xiang and Jiang Xiang just now reminded Wei Chen. The minister thought that the target of the Qin State's current attack was indeed on my Yan State. This time, I suspended the military affairs with the neighboring countries, and I came to my Yan country. ”
"The minister thinks that the purpose of Qin State to do this is to recuperate; The second is to provoke the Central Plains countries adjacent to me, to be hostile to our Yan country, and to be unfavorable to our Yan country. ”
After Su Belly finished speaking, Pavilion Xiangju Xin also said to Ji Kang:
"Your Majesty, the words of several ministers are reasonable. In the past few decades, the Qin State has sent troops to attack neighboring countries year after year. After experiencing the Battle of Handan, the Qin State can also be said to be greatly injured. ”
"It's not that the Qin State doesn't want to attack my Yan Kingdom, but he has no strength at the moment. Besides, if the Qin State wants to attack our Yan Kingdom, there are still three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Zhao in between, and the Qin State cannot cross these three kingdoms to attack our Yan Kingdom. ”
"Qin Wang Yingji, who sent envoys to Zhao and Wei last year, was nothing more than to use the strength of Zhao and Wei to weaken our Yan country. As long as I have some friction between the Yan State and Zhao, Wei, and even the Chu State in the south. The minister thought that the goal of the Qin State had been achieved. ”
After Ji Kang listened to everyone's words, he closed his eyes and did not speak.
After a while, Ji Kang opened his eyes and slowly said to everyone:
"What everyone said makes a lot of sense. Now it seems that the Qin State is indeed targeting our Yan Kingdom. Last year, after my Yan State and Wei Domain, didn't I send back news from Xianyang, saying that King Yingji of Qin was above the court, scolding the widow and my Yan country, and wanted to send troops to attack my Yan country! ”
When they heard this, they all laughed.
Ji Kang also laughed a few times, and then said to everyone:
"Qin Wang Yingji seems to be very jealous of my Yan Kingdom now. However, as the secretary said just now, at present, if the Qin State wants to attack my Yan State alone, he can't do it, and he doesn't have the ability. ”
"The widow thinks that the best way for him is to let the neighboring countries of my Yan country have a quarrel with my Yan country, so that my Yan country and even other countries will not be able to live in peace, and he Qin country will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Ji Xin, Su Bao and others all nodded their heads, expressing their agreement with Ji Kang's opinion.
