Chapter 45: Vitality (I)
Yan Wang Kang four years, the second half of the first month.
Although the pace of spring is approaching, there are still white snowflakes falling in the city of Jidu.
Yan Kingdom in the last year, all aspects of the development of good, especially in the military aspect, with the four counties of Daijun, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Jinyang completely belong to Yan State, Ji Kang has fulfilled his promise to his father Ji Ming in Liaodi.
Prior to this, no matter how powerful the Yan Kingdom was, it was still blocked in the eastern part of the Taihang Mountain.
Nowadays, the military capital of Taihang, Puyin, and Flying Fox in the Eight Mountains of Taihang, the east-west passage has been opened, and the situation of Yan has suddenly opened up. The Taihang Mountains, the biggest barrier restricting Yan from going south to the Central Plains, have been completely controlled by Yan in their own hands.
In the affinity hall of the Ji Palace, after seeing the message sent back from Xianyang.
Ji Kang only said to Ju Wu next to him: "King Qin Yingji, finally left." ”
After that, he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity in his chest, sat on the chair and slowly closed his eyes.
It has been 22 years since I came to this era. It is undeniable that Yingji, the king of Qin, has been the biggest shadow in his heart since he was a child.
This kind of pressure is so great that it is impossible to speak to outsiders.
In order to block the development of the Qin State, he did not know how much effort he had made without the knowledge of outsiders.
In the Battle of Changping, he ignored the opposition of the Yan court in Liaodi, and insisted on providing logistical assistance such as food and weapons to Zhao, in an attempt to delay the victory of Qin.
But the inertia of history is also so strong, and the Zhao State was still defeated in the Battle of Changping.
No one knew that one thing Ji Kang was most afraid of at that time was that Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, would lead his army to attack Handan after the Battle of Changping. At that time, Handan could be said to be within reach for the Qin State.
If King Yingji of Qin obeyed Wu Anjun Baiqi's words, the Zhao State would definitely be destroyed.
Once the State of Zhao was destroyed by the State of Qin, then the State of Yan at that time was immediately in danger of extinction.
Fortunately, Yingji adopted Fan Ju's advice and gave the Central Plains countries time to breathe, which led to the Battle of Handan.
Yan Guo also took advantage of this precious time to develop and grow.
Now, Qin Wang Yingji is finally gone, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this, Ji Kang opened his eyes and said to Ju Wu with a smile:
"Ju Wu, let's go, you go out with the widow and go to Han Fei's mansion to disturb him."
Looking at the young king, so happy, Ju Wu didn't want to stop him.
"No, Weichen obeys the edict." Ju Wu bowed and replied.
After going down to court at noon, Han Fei slept in the house, and now all the ministers of the Yan Kingdom are accustomed to their own king's nap. Take a nap at noon, and in the afternoon, your spirits are indeed much better.
In the study, Han Fei wore a casual dress and took a book to study.
Han Fei was very satisfied with all aspects of the situation after coming to Yan Kingdom.
Not to mention in the court, Yan Wangkang can be said to be very important to himself. Even in terms of life and food, this is much better than when I was in Korea.
Although the snow was flying outside, it was very warm inside the study.
In particular, the transparent glass installed against the window next to the desk allows the room to be flooded with light.
The housekeeper in Han Fei's mansion hurriedly came in at this time and said to Han Fei at the desk:
"Master, come quickly, the king and Doctor Ju Wu are here."
Hearing the housekeeper say this, Han Fei stood up and said to the old housekeeper:
"Go and get ready, and come with me to meet the king."
As soon as the words fell, I heard Ji Kang's voice from outside the study:
"Han Qing, you don't need to prepare too much, the widow and Ju Wu came to your house and asked you for a glass of wine."
Han Fei took a big stride out of the study, and saw that Ji Kang, accompanied by Ju Wu and the attendant Ling Wangcong, had come to the door of his study along the corridor next to the study.
"Your Majesty, the minister has not tasted far to welcome the king, and it is rude." Han Fei bowed to Ji Kang and said.
Ji Kang came to Han Fei and smiled at Han Fei and said:
"Han Fei, don't detain the courtesy of the monarch and the minister today. It happened to be snowing again, and it was rare to have leisure. The widow and Ju Wu came to your house, and we waited for the monarchs and ministers to drink and taste, which is also a happy event in life. ”
Hearing Ji Kang say this, Han Fei and Ju Wu and the others beside Ji Kang all laughed together.
After coming to Yan Kingdom for so many years, Han Fei knows that his own king is an unruly person.
"The minister obeyed the edict, please go up to the study and sit down."
Han Fei stretched out his right hand, put on a gesture of "please", bowed down and said.
And the housekeeper behind Han Fei also hurried down to make arrangements.
Ji Kang entered Han Fei's study and took the lead in sitting down next to the round table coffee table on the side of the study, accompanied by Han Fei and Ju Wu. After following Ji Kang for so many years, Han Fei and Ju Wu naturally know Ji Kang's living habits.
A maid came in with a teapot and teacup in her hand.
Han Fei took the teapot in the maid's hand, took out a little, put it into the teacup on the coffee table, and then personally lifted the teapot and poured hot water, and a smell of tea suddenly permeated the study.
Ji Kang picked up the tea cup, saw that the tea was green, and took a sip, it was fragrant and refreshing, which was very good.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ji Kang said to Han Fei and Ju Wu: "After the collapse of King Qin Yingji, the form of the world will definitely change. Do you two have any suggestions for this? ”
Han Fei and Ju Wu looked at each other, and they both lowered their heads and pondered.
Ji Kang was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup, took another sip, and waited for Han Fei and Ju Wu to answer.
This is the way of the superior, even if you have an opinion in your heart, you still have to ask your subordinates.
As usual, it was Han Fei who took the lead in speaking:
"Your Majesty, until now, the only person in the world who can compete with my Yan Kingdom is the Qin State. However, for decades, King Yingji of Qin has been king for decades, and he has been constantly conquering the countries of the Central Plains, and the world is called the country of tigers and wolves. ”
"What's worse is that in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army actually killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers; Yingji sacrificed to the sky in Luoyi and forced the Son of Heaven to death, smearing the entire family of the Son of Heaven, and his tyrannical behavior spread all over the world. ”
"Forgive the minister's words, in the Yingji era, the Qin State originally had the strength and military strength to unify the countries of the Central Plains, but the Qin State acted so tyrannically, the people of the world would rather obey our Yan State than submit to the Qin State."
After listening to Han Fei's above-mentioned words, Ji Kang nodded.
The situation that Han Fei said just now was consistent with what Ji Kang thought in his heart.
This was already evident when Yan attacked Jinyang. Sima Terrier of Qin State also occupied Jinyang at that time, compared with the Yan army attacking Jinyang, when Qin attacked Jinyang, Zhao had many fewer defenders, and there were no generals to preside.
But that's it, the soldiers and civilians of Jinyang also swore to resist the Qin army to the death, which made the Qin army pay a great price.
After the Yan army occupied Jinyang at the end of last year, the people of Jinyang quickly accepted the rule of Yan.
The hearts of the people are back, which can be seen.
Ji Kang's eyes looked at Ju Wu, and when Ju Wu saw this, he said to Ji Kang:
"Your Majesty, what Dr. Han Fei said is very true, and the minister agrees. As far as the minister knows, when Qin Wang Yingji was alive, he repeatedly reprimanded the crown prince An Guojun, which made An Guojun's prestige in the Qin court very insufficient. ”
"An Guojun Yingzhu has just ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to stabilize the court of Qin, and I am definitely not as concerned about my Yan Kingdom as Qin Wang Yingji was alive in the past. This is undoubtedly a good thing for my Yan Kingdom. ”
"The Qin State is like this, and it will no longer be able to threaten my Yan State in the short term. The four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu in the Central Plains were too busy to take care of themselves and could only protect themselves. Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity for my Yan Kingdom to unify the Central Plains! ”
Han Fei's study, like the palace buildings of Ji Palace, uses earthen heating devices.
The study room was very warm, so that people didn't feel any cold.
After hearing Ju Wu's words, Ji Kang laughed.
Seeing Han Fei and Ju Wu, the representatives of the new generation of Yan Kingdom, so energetic, Ji Kang was very happy.
Standing up, coming to the window, looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside, Ji Kangyan said:
"It's almost February, and this snow is probably the last snow of the year. Before the winter of last year, my Yan country made a lot of preparations in advance, and the displaced people who came to my Yan country were properly resettled, and none of them starved to death or froze to death. ”
"In this era, it is not easy for the people of the Central Plains. Judging from the past two years, the number of displaced people from all countries who come to our Yan country has increased unabated, and many county guards in border counties have written to widows, saying that on the way to our Yan country from various countries, there are corpses and bones on both sides of the road. ”
"The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, we can't let this situation continue, the world should indeed be unified, and the people can't survive so hard anymore."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang's gaze looked to the south.
"After the beginning of spring this year, the widow will go to Wuyang, the lower capital, to personally supervise the army and destroy its Zhao State."
