Chapter 873: Lü Buwei's Reason (First Update)
"Lü Buwei, as the envoy of the Qin State Council, came to Handan to ask for peace with the widow?" When Zhao Dan heard this, the expression on his face could be said to be very surprised.
In Zhao Dan's mind, of course the matter of Qin State's quest for peace would happen, but it should not happen at this juncture.
Because the bones of the Qin people are very hard, until the last moment, if they don't fight until they can't turn over, how can they come to sue for peace?
But after thinking about it, since the person who came was Lü Buwei, then maybe it was Lü Buwei who persuaded Qin Wangchu, which was able to make Qin Wangchu agree to make peace with Zhao.
Since it is Lü Buwei......
Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Come on, pass the order, and say that the widow will set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys of the Qin State!" ”
Zheng Zhu, a big bank who came to report to Zhao Dan, couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and said, "King, isn't this a bit too kind to others?" ”
Zhao Dan said with a smile: "It's okay, although the widow doesn't take the people of Qin too seriously, but after all, the people of Qin are here to negotiate peace with the widow, as long as the widow puts on an attitude of treating the envoy of Qin with kindness, then other countries may follow suit of Qin, right?" Even if it doesn't work, the widow doesn't have anything to lose. ”
Since Zhao Dan said so, Zheng Zhu naturally couldn't say anything more.
A few days later, the dusty Lü Buwei arrived in Handan.
As soon as he arrived in Handan, Lü Buwei immediately entered the palace to meet Zhao Dan, and it seemed that he was obviously very concerned about the matter of peace, at least to the Qin State spies in Handan.
And Zhao Dan also entertained Lü Buwei with a rather formal banquet, and there were also important ministers such as Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Si Kou Yuxin to accompany him, which can be said to have given Lü Buwei and the people of Qin enough face.
In addition, Zhao Dan, the crown prince of Zhao State, and the crown princess also attended the meeting, which made Lu Buwei seem to be quite happy, and he kept drinking.
After drinking almost, the banquet dispersed, and Zhao Dan took Zhao Sheng, Yu Xin, and Lu Buwei into the inner hall.
Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, who were a little puzzled, and then said with a smile: "Okay, now, the widow doesn't hide it from the two Qing families, in fact, ...... Wu Chengjun is his own person. ”
After some explanations, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin finally fully understood Lü Buwei's identity.
After knowing all this thoroughly, the shock in the hearts of the two can be said to be indescribable.
The Qin State, which had been the biggest rival of the Zhao State for a long time in the past, turned out to be an undercover agent sent by its own king!
If it weren't for seeing Zhao Dan and Lu Buwei's smug smiles, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin wouldn't have believed this matter at all.
But both parties sat here and admitted that no matter how shocked, the two important ministers of Zhao had to accept such a fact.
After accepting this fact, Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin's admiration for Zhao Dan was incomparable, especially the admiration on Yu Xin's face was simply overflowing.
It's high, it's really high, it's even higher than Longtai!
was able to send Lü Buwei to the Qin State eight years ago, and also supported Lü Buwei step by step to ascend to the position of the prime minister of the Qin State, and there is no need to think about how difficult it is.
However, the king did it!
……
After learning of Lu Buwei's identity, Yu Xin's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered another thing.
Speaking of which, Li Mu attacked Xianyang City twice in the past, and it was because there were people in Xianyang City who cooperated with Li Muli to allow Li Mu to finally succeed.
Now as soon as the true identity of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, was revealed, Yu Xin suddenly understood something.
Yu Xinchang sighed and said to Zhao Dan: "The king is really far-sighted, and the ministers are far from being able to match the king's chances!" ”
Yu Xin said a lot of flattering words to Zhao Dan, most of them were pure sycophants, but this time his words were absolutely 100% heartfelt.
Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said: "Yu Qing has an overreputation, and the widow is the king of Zhao State, so he naturally wants to make some plans for Zhao State, which is also due to it." Okay, Wu Chengjun, you can tell me what you are here for. ”
Lu Buwei smiled and greeted Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin, for these two guys, Lu Buwei naturally didn't want to offend, after all, in the future, Lu Buwei still wanted to continue to mix in the political arena of Zhao State, and it was actually good to be familiar with these two future colleagues now.
Lu Buwei coughed and said, "Actually, the goal of my coming this time is quite simple, that is, I hope that Qin and Zhao can maintain the current situation and truce. ”
"A truce in the current situation?" As soon as they heard Lu Buwei's words, the trio of Zhao Guojunchen immediately frowned.
The people present were all elites, and it was not the first time to engage in negotiations, so it was natural to be able to hear Lu Buwei's metaphors.
Now that Zhao's Xihe County is still in the hands of the Qin people, if it really follows Lü Buwei's statement, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking Zhao to recognize the fact that Xihe County was occupied by the Qin people?
Judging from the current status and situation of Zhao State, this is actually not an acceptable thing.
Zhao Sheng glanced at Zhao Dan and found that Zhao Dan didn't mean to speak, so he coughed and said, "Wu Chengjun, if you do this, in fact, it's not easy for us to explain to the people below." ”
That is, because Zhao Dan introduced it before, Zhao Sheng knew that Lu Buwei was his own person, so he was so polite when he spoke.
If it were the real envoy from the Qin State sitting in front of Zhao Sheng now, then Zhao Sheng would have been unceremoniously sprayed by now.
In the past few wars, the territory of Zhao was not occupied by Qin, but basically these occupied territories would be reclaimed by Zhao at the end of the war.
The current Zhao State is more powerful than any previous war, but it has to make concessions that have never been made in the previous war, isn't this nonsense!
Even so, the expression on Zhao Sheng's face said it all.
From Zhao Sheng's own point of view, he is the uncle of the king of Zhao State, and at the same time he is the prime minister of Zhao State, even if Lu Buwei is "his own person", and he also has the identity of the father of the crown princess, for Zhao Sheng, he is just a future subordinate.
Lu Buwei obviously understood the dissatisfaction in Zhao Sheng's words, but he didn't have any annoyed expression, but showed a smile: "Pingyuanjun misunderstood, since I am loyal to Zhao Guo, then this time naturally Zhao Guo will not suffer." ”
"Oh?" Yu Xin couldn't help but interject and said, "Could it be that admitting the Qin State's occupation of Xihe County is not a loss for the Zhao State?" ”
Contrary to Zhao Sheng, who didn't take Lü Buwei too seriously, Yu Xin's perception of Lü Buwei was in another direction.
As a courtier, Yu Xin wants to do two things most, the first is the ultimate of the title - Fengjun, and the other is the ultimate of the official position - Xiangbang.
Yu Xin thinks that it will be a matter of time before he is a king, so Yu Xin's biggest concern now is undoubtedly Xiangbang.
After the past few years, Yu Xin also began to understand, although it was said that his own king once wanted to replace Zhao Sheng, but now that he is like this, it is estimated that Zhao Sheng's Xiangbang should be able to work until he dies of old age.
So Zhao Sheng is no longer Yu Xin's competitor, at least until Zhao Sheng himself does not do anything big, it is impossible for Yu Xin to replace Zhao Sheng.
However, Yu Xin is also very confident, in the current situation, as long as Zhao Sheng dies, then Yu Xin is the successor.
But now there is another Lu Buwei, and there is a problem.
Although Lü Buwei is still a native of Qin, he is confident that Zhao will dominate the world sooner or later, and Yu Xin feels that it is only a matter of time before he and Lü Buwei are in the same palace.
At that time, Lü Buwei must first have a great merit in destroying Qin, and secondly, he is the crown princess, that is, the father of the future queen of Zhao, which poses a great challenge to Yu Xin.
Therefore, the intelligent Yu Xin just made a few thoughts, and he already regarded Lu Buwei as his biggest opponent in the future competition for the position of Xiangbang.
Even if Zhao Sheng is dead now and Yu Xin takes over as Xiangbang, as long as the crown prince succeeds him in the future, this Lü Buwei must be a threat to Yu Xin.
This is why Yu Xin almost couldn't wait to jump out to pick on Lü Buwei, otherwise, in terms of political standpoint, Yu Xin should actually stand on the opposite side of Zhao Sheng and agree with Lü Buwei's opinion.
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Xin's words fell, Lu Buwei glanced at Yu Xin in surprise, obviously not very understanding why Yu Xin questioned himself at this time.
But Lü Buwei didn't think about it so much at this time, but replied directly: "Yu Qing, I thought that if we used this to cease war with the Qin State, first of all, Zhao Guoguo would go to such an enemy as the Qin State, and Hedong County, Shang County, Hetao, Yiqu and other places would not be threatened. ”
"Wait." Zhao Sheng suddenly interrupted Lu Buwei's words: "What does Wu Chengjun mean that the land of Yiqu Country belongs to Zhao State?" ”
Lu Buwei smiled slightly and said, "Isn't the current Yiqu Kingdom under the control of the Zhao Kingdom?" ”
In fact, the current country of Yiqu is a terra nullius.
In the previous war, some of the Yiqu people fled to the west under the leadership of Yiqu Bo, while the other part of the Yiqu people went south to Guanzhong under the leadership of Yiqu Lie and annexed the Qin State, and the remaining Yiqu people chose to go north to the Zhao State, so the core area of the current Yiqu State, that is, the former Beidi County of the Qin State, is almost uninhabited.
If Beidi County is exchanged for Xihe County, it will definitely be a loss, but if you add the bargaining chip that can make Qin State withdraw from this war, it seems that Zhao State will not lose money.
After getting Lu Buwei's answer, Zhao Guojun couldn't help but glance at each other.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Lü Buwei continued: "In addition to this, there is actually another benefit. Presumably, the king, Pingyuan Jun, and Yu Qing all know that Cai Ze, the top of the current Qin State political arena, is my great enemy, and if my envoy succeeds in getting Xihe County from Zhao State, then the King of Qin will definitely trust me more and more, and Cai Ze will be estranged. In this way, I only need to use some small strategies to get rid of Cai Ze, and then the Qin State will be all under my control! ”
Lü Buwei's meaning is actually obvious, if he really waits for Lü Buwei, the "Zhao traitor", to completely control the power of the Qin State, then the Zhao State will definitely be much easier to destroy the Qin State in the future.
Lu Buwei finished everything he wanted to say in one breath, and then arched his hand towards Zhao Dan and said, "How to choose, please show the king." ”
