Chapter 643: The Prince's Plea for Help (Third Update)
Handan, Huaxia School Palace.
The night was already dark, but a young man still bowed to a closed door, bent for a long time.
Beside this young man, a man dressed in a completely different costume from the Zhao people and looked like a nobleman was anxiously dissuading the young man, and said to the young man: "The crown prince is the prince of Chu State, and he is the future king of Chu, but now he is waiting here for two hours, which is really detrimental to the majesty of Chu State, if it is known by the king, he will definitely not like it." ”
Bending over, the prince of Chu shook his head very firmly, and said to the noble man of Chu beside him: "Lin Wujun, looking at the world, at this moment, the only one who can save Chu in danger is Zhao State, as the prince of Chu State, seeing that the motherland is in trouble, how can I hide in this Huaxia Academy Palace and be indifferent to the danger of the motherland?" ”
These two people are none other than the prince of Chu who was previously sent by Wang Yuan of Chu to Handan of Zhao State as a proton, and Lin Wujun, the chief of staff of this prince of Chu.
Lin Wujun shook his head and continued to persuade the prince of the Chu State in front of him: "The prince should know that in this Zhao State, King Zhao is the one who can make the final decision. If the crown prince wanted to bring reinforcements, then he should have asked to see Zhao Wangcai, so why did he whisper so much to these Confucian scholars here? ”
The young prince sighed softly and said to Lin Wujun in front of him: "Lin Wujun, do you really think that I haven't asked to see the king of Zhao State?" But the king of Zhao simply ignored my request. ”
The words of the prince of Chu were full of helplessness and a little anger.
Of course, this anger is justified, now the state of Chu is in danger, but as the crown prince of the state of Chu and the future king of the state of Chu, he can only sit as a hostage and do nothing in Handan.
This prince was originally in the palace city of Handan to study with the prince of Zhao State, but with the opening of the Huaxia School Palace, all the princes of Zhao State, including Zhao Heng, were sent to study in the Handan School Palace, so the prince of Chu State naturally came to the Huaxia School Palace and lost the opportunity to enter the palace of Zhao State.
After a pause, the prince of Chu State continued to say to Lin Wujun beside him: "Lin Wujun, you have also gone to see many ministers of Zhao State for a while, presumably they also avoided you, right?" ”
Lin Wujun's face stiffened when he heard this, and after a while, he nodded slowly and said: Prince Mingjian, this is indeed the case. ”
The reason why Lin Wujun was sent to Handan, the first mission was naturally to prevent other countries from engaging in any conspiracy against the young prince, in addition to that, he actually had another more important mission, that is, to know more of the big names in the political arena of Zhao State, so that these big men could persuade Zhao State to side with Chu State at a critical time.
In the past few years, Lin Wujun has indeed known a lot of figures from Zhao State, and even several people who call him brothers.
However, at the critical moment, after these big figures of the Zhao State learned the news of Lin Wujun's visit at this moment, they completely avoided it one by one, making it clear that they didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Lin Wujun was not a fool, so he was able to detect one thing very keenly from the attitudes of these ministers of the Zhao State, that is, at least until now, the high-ranking King of the Zhao State actually did not have any intention of interfering in this war that was related to the life and death of the Chu State.
This is definitely an out-and-out bad thing for the current Chu State.
Looking at the world, there are really very few countries that can stop the Han and Wei coalition forces from wreaking havoc in the territory of Chu State.
Qi and Yan are now making a pot of porridge, and these two countries will be eliminated directly.
And although Qin said that it was once an ally of Chu State, it has been a great enemy of Chu State over the years, and it is really not good to say whether such a big enemy can send troops to rescue Chu State.
And Qin actually has another problem, that is, if Qin sends troops, it is really hard to say whether it can defeat the Han and Wei coalition forces.
If it had been five years ago, at the time when the Battle of Changping broke out, no one in this world would have doubted that the Qin army would be able to defeat the Han and Wei coalition forces.
However, now is not the moment when the Qin State was in the Battle of Changping.
Now the country that is mighty in the world is called Zhao State.
Only if Zhao was willing to make a move, could Chu be able to survive under the ravages of Han and Wei.
In order to let Zhao Guo make a move, the prince of Chu and Lin Wujun did not bother to think about it, but it is a pity that neither the prince of Chu nor Lin Wujun could not see the king of Zhao who they wanted to see very much.
Under such circumstances, the prince of Chu who was helpless had no choice but to choose a roundabout tactic, that is, he wanted to convey his intention to ask for help to King Zhao through the gentlemen of the Huaxia Academy in front of him.
You must know that these gentlemen of the Huaxia Academy are also the ministers of Zhao Guo, and they belong to the advisory group of Zhao Guojun, so they have the qualifications to meet Zhao Dan at any time.
Of course, due to the gathering of hundreds of princes in the Huaxia Academy, there are also a lot of gentlemen, and the prince of Chu State scratches his head a little if he wants to find which gentleman to help him.
But in the end, the prince of Chu made a decision, that is, to choose the Confucian leader among them, that is, the great priest of the Huaxia Academy, Xun Qian, as the object of help.
Although the prince of Chu had vaguely heard about the twists and turns caused by the Mo family's entry into the Huaxia Academy not long ago, in the eyes of the prince of Chu, since Xun Guo's student Li Si has become one of the important ministers of Zhao State, Xun Guo's influence is obviously undoubted.
If he could get Xun Qian's help, then the prince of Chu felt that his plan to ask King Zhao for help was very likely to succeed.
But it is clear that, at least until now, luck has not actually been on the side of this prince of Chu.
He had been waiting outside Xun Qian's door for two full hours, but he had never been summoned by Xun Qian.
Because Xun Guo once served as the Lanling Commander of Chu State, this prince of Chu State actually had a good impression of Xun Guo, and he did not hesitate to choose to study Confucianism when choosing.
For the fact that the prince of Chu chose Confucianism, it was once a big sensation in the Huaxia Academy, and Xun Guo also personally met with the prince for this reason and encouraged him.
But now it seems that this favor has not helped.
Looking at the still closed door in front of him, the prince of Chu State fell into trouble.
If you leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to help Chu again, but if you continue to stay here, you don't seem to see any hope of success.
What should I do?
What the prince of Chu didn't know was that at this moment, in the mansion of Xun Kuo, several important figures of Confucianism were caught in a big dispute because of him.
