Chapter 806: Jing Ke Sees the Driver (Third Update)
"Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, asks to see him to celebrate the widow's birthday?"
When Zhao Dan heard the news, his face suddenly became extremely strange.
Yu Xin, who was reporting to Zhao Dan, noticed this.
Of the events that had taken place in the previous autumn, the hardest hit was the Buyi faction, or the forces of Yu Xin's lineage.
This made the Sikou realize that his own king did not like such a naked struggle for power to happen right now.
In fact, no king would like such a thing to happen in front of him, but some kings can only choose to endure, while others can choose to fight, and a small number of powerful kings can easily crush all intentions and take the whole situation into their own hands.
Zhao Dan is undoubtedly the last kind of king.
If Yu Xin was able to grasp the thoughts of his own king when he saw this king for the first time ten years ago, or when the Battle of Changping broke out six years ago, then it was not until after the calculation that Yu Xin found that although he had indeed grown over the years, the growth of his own king was far beyond his expectations.
By now, he can't see through his own king.
Since then, Yu Xin has come to Longtai very frequently, and almost every big or small matter has to come to ask Zhao Dan, just like today.
Seeing that Zhao Dan's face didn't seem to be very good, Yu Xin couldn't help but speak: "King, could it be that this Yan Kingdom wants to have something wrong?" β
Zhao Dan was silent for a while, and did not answer Yu Xin's question, but said: "Send an order to the hundred officials, and the widow will summon the envoy of the Yan Kingdom in the main hall of Longtai tomorrow." β
After a while, Yu Xin walked out of the Longtai side hall full of doubts, this smart minister had already keenly noticed something wrong from Zhao Dan's expression, but he didn't know where such an error happened.
Only Zhao Dan, who was sitting in the middle of the dragon platform, knew the reason.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone! Hey, what a Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin...... Grandma's, has it actually become Jing Ke to assassinate King Zhao? Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng, I didn't expect the widow to replace you to dominate the world, and at the same time, it also replaced your fate of being assassinated by Jing Ke! β
Zhao Dan's heart suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.
When he was a child, Zhao Dan learned about Jing Ke's story from history books and storybooks, and at that time he thought that Jing Ke was a big hero who stood up to the sky, and the assassinated Qin Wangzheng was also an out-and-out villain.
But now, when the target of the hero's assassination has become Zhao Dan himself, Zhao Dan's mood can be said to be quite complicated.
No one likes to be a villain in the history books, and Zhao Dan at this moment even wants to cry out for Qin Shi Huang in history.
Obviously, Jing Ke wanted to kill Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang himself was a victim, how did he become a villain?
This damn spring and autumn penmanship!
Zhao Dan calmed down for a moment, and then issued the next order.
"Come on, summon Mao Sui, Xu has always come to see the widow!"
β¦β¦
The next day, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Zhao State gathered together and waited for the audience of the envoys of the Yan State.
And the envoy of the Yan Kingdom and the doctor Jing Ke were also ready to wait outside the palace.
A eunuch of Zhao appeared in front of Jing Ke and said arrogantly: "The king has an order, and the messenger Jing Ke will go to the palace!" β
Jing Ke glanced up at the eunuch, and unconsciously felt a little disdain in his heart.
Even the words under the crotch are gone, what's the point of living?
But soon Jing Ke was a little unhappy, after all, although the eunuch in front of him didn't have that word, he was still alive after all, and he could even fake himself as the envoy of the princes.
And what about yourself? Jing Ke knew very well that from the moment he saw King Zhao, even if the task was finally completed, he should not be able to survive.
Jing Ke walked step by step along the steps of Longtai, which glowed in the sun like white jade.
Once upon a time, he also thought about defecting to the owner of this palace, but under the persuasion of his friend Gao Yuanli, Jing Ke finally chose to go to Yan Kingdom.
Is it good or bad to go to Yan Kingdom? Even Jing Ke himself didn't know.
When he walked to the door of the main hall, Jing Ke subconsciously stopped, and turned his head to look at the sun that had just risen in the east and exuded golden light.
It's glaring.
This may be the last time I see the sun......
The eunuch's urging was already heard in his ears: "Messenger, my king is already in the palace, please enter quickly." β
Jing Ke retracted his gaze, the expression on his face became calm, and he stepped into the hall.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Jing Ke could feel hundreds of eyes falling on him at the same time, some of these eyes were curious, friendly, and peaceful, but more of them were a kind of arrogance.
A kind of arrogance that is inevitable and naturally born when a strong country and a large country sees the envoys of a weak country or a small country.
Jing Ke stepped forward and stopped about thirty steps away from Zhao Dan.
This is the number of courtesies, if you go further, then it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Zhao Guojun's ministers.
Jing Ke knelt down respectfully: "Yanchen Jing Ke, I've seen the king!" β
A neutral and peaceful voice came into Jing Ke's ears: "The messenger doesn't need to be polite, please get up." β
Jing Ke stood up, raised his head, and saw this powerful King Zhao for the first time.
The gentle smile, mature face, and a hint of majesty between the eyebrows are faintly revealed, no matter from any point of view, they all perfectly meet Jing Ke's imagination of Mingjun in his mind.
Just looking at each other like this, Jing Ke actually had a feeling that he wanted to be seen through.
Before this, Jing Ke felt that the so-called overlord king was just a pair of eyes, two hands, two shoulders and two legs, nothing remarkable, and any kind of momentum and majesty were all deceitful.
But it wasn't until Jing Ke himself came to Handan, entered the main hall of Longtai, and really met the king of Zhao that he realized that his previous idea was simply wrong.
There seemed to be an indescribable force hovering in this hall, which made every outsider involuntarily shake their hearts, and gave the king who sat on the throne an almost boundless power.
Jing Ke even felt that this kind of power did not come from the millions of soldiers of the Zhao State, let alone from the thousands of miles of land of the Zhao State, but completely from the King of Zhao himself, who was sitting quietly on the throne!
This King of Zhao looked a few years older than Jing Ke, but he just looked at it so lightly, and Jing Ke's whole person suddenly had a feeling that he had been seen through from the inside out.
Jing Ke lowered his head in some panic.
Zhao Dan's voice came again: "What is the matter with the envoy coming this time?" β
Jing Ke took a deep breath and tried his best to make his tone as calm as possible: "Back to the king, the queen mother and my king ordered Jing Ke to come this time to give some gifts to celebrate the king's birthday!" β
Although he had been contacted repeatedly, Jing Ke still couldn't help but tremble a little when he was halfway through his speech.
After all, I haven't seen a big scene.
Jing Ke's heart was beating fast, and he seemed to have revealed a flaw, would he be recognized by the people of Zhao Guoren?
The next moment, King Zhao's voice came into Jing Ke's ears: "Alas, it's also considerate...... What are the gifts? β
In fact, the gift list had already been sent in advance, and Jing Ke knew very well in his heart that the reason why this king asked this question was actually to let the other ministers of Zhao State also know about the "gifts" sent by Yan State, so that they could show off.
Of course, Jing Ke has to cooperate with such an action.
So Jing Ke immediately took out a gift slip from his arms and said respectfully: "Back to the king, this time the gifts of the Yan Kingdom have a pair of jade pendants and a blood coral...... And, the land of the Governor! β
As soon as Jing Ke's words fell, an uproar immediately sounded in the hall of Zhao Guo.
"The Land of the Governor?"
You must know that the southernmost land bordering the Zhao State in the Yan Kingdom today is the land of the governor.
Once this land is ceded to the Zhao State, then the Zhao State only needs to cross the Yongding River, and it will be able to easily conquer the Ji Capital.
In addition, the land of Du Kang is also the largest grain producing area in Yan Kingdom, and it is also the most densely populated area in Yan Country except for Wuyang City and Jidu.
Such a place was actually ceded to Zhao by Yan State?
I can't figure it out, it's really hard to figure it out.
All the ministers of Zhao who heard these words were both puzzled and a little overjoyed.
In any case, since the envoys of the Yan State have come, the matter of the Yan State ceding the land of the governor is a certainty, and there will be no change.
It's a great thing to be able to get the land of the governor without much effort.
Even Zhao Dan smiled a little when he spoke: "Oh? In this way, King Yan and the Queen Mother really have a heart. But to tell the truth, the widow is useless, and it is impossible for this Yan country to cede the land of the governor to the widow for no reason, right? β
Jing Ke, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately replied: "Back to the king, Yan Guo is willing to submit to the king and drive for the king." I only hope that the king will not add troops to the Yan Kingdom, and Yan Zhao will be good friends for generations. β
Zhao Dan laughed and said, "Is that the case?" Very good, then you go back and tell King Yan and the Queen Mother that this matter is - the widow is approved! β
Jing Ke could hear the joy in Zhao Dan's laughter, and things seemed to be going well.
So Jing Ke hurriedly said: "King, Jing Ke still has a map in his hand, and I also ask the king to allow Jing Ke to personally explain this map to the king, so that the king can understand how many resources and population there are in the land of the governor ceded this time, so as to prove the sincerity of Yan to seek peace." β
As soon as Jing Ke's words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Jing Ke stood there with his head down, and he could almost hear the incomparably rapid heartbeat in his chest.
Obviously, it was only a few breaths of time, but for Jing Ke, it seemed like several years had passed.
Finally, Jing Ke heard the answer he wanted to hear.
"Very good, widowβyes!"
Jing Ke let out a long breath, put the gift slip into his sleeve, took out a scroll from his sleeve again, and began to stride forward.
The figures of countless people passed through Jing Ke's mind, and countless people's expectations and reluctance kept echoing in Jing Ke's heart.
His steps were a little shaky at first, but gradually became stable, and under the gaze of the civil and military officials of Zhao State in the main hall, he slowly walked towards the king of Zhao who was at the top.
Success or failure, in one fell swoop!
