Chapter 229: Lou Chang's Determination (Second Update)
Zhao Guoshang's doctor Lou Chang returned to his mansion with a look of wanting to eat people.
As soon as he returned to his study, Lou Chang couldn't help but be furious, threw everything that could be smashed in front of him to the ground, and vented the anger in his heart fiercely.
"Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, dare to bully me like this!"
Lou Chang's teeth were clenched tightly, his face was full of resentment, and his heart was full of unwillingness.
For Yu Xin's political enemy, Lou Chang actually doesn't have too many opinions, after all, everyone is a different faction, and if there is a chance, they will definitely suppress each other, which is relatively normal.
But Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao were originally from the same faction as Lou Chang, but they stabbed Lou Chang in the back at such a critical time, making Lou Chang lose face!
After this incident, Lou Chang can be said to have lost face, which is a huge blow to Lou Chang's reputation.
Fortunately, it was Zhao Dan who asked for today's matter to be kept secret, otherwise if this matter spread, how could Lou Chang get involved in the political arena of Zhao State in the future?
Lou Chang sat behind the bookcase, gritting his teeth and looking hideous, his eyes flashed with cold light from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and it was the voice of Lou Chang's housekeeper outside the door.
"The head of the house, the old master's messenger has arrived."
As soon as Lou Chang heard this, he subconsciously frowned.
The old master, of course, is Lou Chang's father, who is now an official in the Qin State.
What Lou Zhuan's envoy is doing, Lou Chang's heart is very clear, it is nothing more than hoping to find out some information about Zhao for Qin State.
Lou Chang's face changed, and it took a moment before he spoke, "Let him in." ”
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked a few years younger than Lou Chang and looked quite similar to Lou Chang walked into the study that had been cleaned up, and saluted respectfully to Lou Chang: "I've seen my uncle." ”
Lou Chang saw the face of the person who came clearly, and there was a look of surprise on his face: "Brother Zhong? It turned out that you were coming. ”
Uncle Zhong Ji, Uncle is the eldest, the uncle is the eldest brother, and the middle brother is the second brother, so this messenger is Lou Chang's second brother, Lou Sheng.
Lou Sheng sat down in front of Lou Chang, carefully took out a secret letter from his arms, and respectfully put it in front of Lou Chang: "My brother came with my father's letter this time, and I also asked my uncle to look at it." ”
is the so-called eldest brother like a father, and Lou Chang is now the head of the Lou family of Zhao Guo, so Lou Sheng naturally does not dare to slack off on his uncle, and the etiquette is very good.
Lou Chang didn't say anything, took the letter, and read it carefully.
Reading and reading, Lou Chang's brows gradually furrowed.
The above content is actually very simple, it is nothing more than that the Qin State wants to find out the attitude of the high-level Zhao State towards this matter because it is about to send troops to attack Chu.
After all, the wars in these years are hundreds of thousands of mobilized troops, and it is actually very unrealistic for such a large-scale Qin army transfer to hide from Zhao Guo's eyes.
After Lou Chang finished reading it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a while.
Zhao Guo's attitude, Lou Chang is of course quite clear.
In fact, if it weren't for exaggerating the threat of the Xiongnu because he wanted to help Qin State speak, Lou Chang might not have suffered such humiliation in the court today.
Thinking of this, Lou Chang's heart became very unhappy again.
As a courtier, Lou Chang's heart is of course inclined to Zhao Guo.
But Lou Chang's father, Lou Xuan, hated Zhao Guo to the bone after being deprived of the position of Qin State Prime Minister by King Zhao Wuling, and wished that Zhao Guo would be sooner or later.
In this way, Lou Chang is sandwiched between the monarch and his father, and the situation is more embarrassing.
After reading the secret letter, Lou Chang quietly put the letter away, and said to Lou Sheng in front of him: "What does my father say? ”
Lou Sheng was obviously prepared for this question, and replied: "Father ordered me to tell my uncle that if the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, then my uncle can be crowned the king of Handan." ”
"Handan-kun!" Lou Chang's eyes widened suddenly.
I have to say that this reward offered by the people of Qin is indeed very tempting.
Handan is now the capital of Zhao State, and it is one of the best cities in the entire land of China.
You must know that Fan Sui, the current prime minister of the Qin State, his fief is just an ordinary small place like Yingcheng.
Considering the fact that Lou Chang is now just the upper doctor of Zhao State, and there are three levels of titles of Xiaqing, Zhongqing and Shangqing from the feudal monarch of Zhao State, this feudal monarch of Qin State is even more precious.
Lou Chang's own affairs are clear to himself, since the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan has lost his trust in Lou Chang, not only many affairs that should have been handled by Lou Chang have been transferred to the hands of Mixian and Yu Xin, but Lou Chang's proposal to be promoted to lieutenant has also been rejected by Zhao Dan.
Coupled with what happened in the Longtai Hall just today, everything made Lou Chang have a hunch that his days of continuing to be prosperous in the political arena of Zhao State may not be numbered.
Thinking about it, Lou Chang's face gradually became gloomy, and the thoughts in his heart slowly became firm.
That's it, since Zhao Wangdan doesn't like me, then I voted for Qin, so what!
Although Qin Guo lost to Zhao State twice, Lou Chang felt that as long as he had his own internal response, then Qin Guo's turnaround would be a matter of time!
In fact, during the Battle of Changping, Lou Chang had already secretly instructed the Lou clan members to do an internal response, but unfortunately that internal response was obviously not successful...
What worries Lou Chang even more is that there seem to be some rumors recently that Zhao Dan is ordering the supervision guard to investigate the inexplicable fall of Chang Pingguan.
If it is really found out that the Lou clan did it, then Lou Changke will really be finished!
Lou Chang's plan has been decided, and he no longer hesitates at the moment, and writes a secret letter with a pen and paper, and writes clearly in his heart the matter of "encircling Qin and saving Chu" discussed by the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State at the meeting today, and then sealed this credit and solemnly handed it to Lou Sheng.
"You immediately set off to return to Xianyang and hand over this letter to your father in person, understand?"
Lou Sheng saw Lou Chang so solemn, why didn't he understand that the stakes were high? immediately took the letter, carefully hid it in his arms, and then made a promise to Lou Chang: "Uncle, rest assured, my brother will not be dishonored!" ”
Lou Chang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, since that's the case, then let's go." ”
A moment later, an ordinary-looking horse-drawn carriage quietly drove out of the back door of Louchang's mansion and merged into the streets of Handan City.
But what Lou Sheng in the carriage didn't know was that the two servants who seemed to be from a certain family came out to run errands, and stopped to enjoy the shade when they were tired of walking, while talking casually on the side of the road, they kept their eyes on the carriage where Lou Sheng was.
"Go and tell your lord that the carriage has left, and the man should be on top of it!"
A domestic servant quickly disappeared around the corner.
