Chapter 142: Zhao Jun Lixiang King Chu is in trouble

Zhao Guo Handan.

Zhao Jun also received a bad news at this time, that is, Zhao Bao, who was far away in Jiuyuan, died of illness, and Zhao Jun also called his uncle Gongzi Cheng and Taifu Li Dui, and asked whether Zhao Bao's two sons, the generals Zhao Qi and Zhao Ping, could take over Zhao Bao's position.

I only heard Gongzi Cheng say first:

"Your Majesty, if you talk about qualifications and prestige, the minister thinks that the position of this Xiangbang is none other than Lord Feiyi, although Zhao Qi and Zhao Ping have their own strengths, but their prestige is obviously not enough to be qualified for the position of our Zhao State Xiangbang!"

Zhao Jun couldn't help but say:

"But before Zhao Bao left Handan, the widow should have personally inherited it, if one day in the future, it was martyred for my Zhao State, the widow will give all his phase and title to his descendants, now Zhao Bao has died, and his contribution to my Zhao State for more than ten years is unparalleled, how can the widow be so untrustworthy to treat a clan minister who has done his best for my Zhao State all his life?"

Childe persuaded each other:

"Your Majesty, think about it, we are now in a critical period of competition for power, if our Zhao Prime Minister has no prestige and is not enough to convince the public, then not only will the ministers of the DPRK and China be dissatisfied, but also the countries will despise our Zhao State, and the minister took the initiative to give way to Zhao Bao also took these into account!"

Zhao Jun turned his eyes to Taifu Li Yue:

"I don't know Mrs. Li, what do you think?"

Li Dui replied:

"Your Majesty, since you have promised the ancestor Zhao Bao and inherited his throne to his descendants, of course, you can't be untrustworthy, and the minister will also go to watch your Su Wei general Zhao Ping teach the four-year-old prince Zhang martial arts, and found that Zhao Ping is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also proficient in governing the country, it seems that he must have obtained the true inheritance of Zhao Bao, so the minister feels that it is no problem for Zhao Ping to inherit Zhao Bao Xiangbang, as for Zhao Bao's eldest son, the general Zhao Qi, the minister thinks that it is okay to let him inherit the title of Yang Wenjun Yulu, Doesn't this also fulfill Zhao Bao's last wish? ”

Gongzi Cheng glared at Li Dui:

"Li Dui, what are you talking about, I think you have a close relationship with Zhao Ping in private, so you ignore the national interests of our Zhao State and want to recommend Zhao Ping as a prime minister, right?"

Li Dui refuted Gongzicheng:

"Uncle Gong, you know that Lord Feiyi is unwilling to be the prime minister, and you still recommend him like this, don't you have the selfish intention to covet the phase of our Zhao Kingdom?"

Gongzi Cheng glared at Li Dui angrily:

"You're just a lip in the talk, a word for it!"

Zhao Jun saw that the two ministers were arguing, and he was also angry, so he yelled:

"Don't quarrel with the widow anymore, since my uncle does not agree to set up Zhao Bao's son as the prime minister, and Lord Li Dui strongly supports Zhao Bao's second son Zhao Ping as the prime minister, the widow can't lose his trust in Zhao Bao, and now the widow has decided to call the two of them to test it, if you have any objections, you can directly confront them."

After a while, Zhao Qi and Zhao Ping, who were wearing armor, walked in together, and it was obvious that both of them were still in the grief of losing their father.

After the two of them finished saluting, Zhao Jun first comforted the two of them:

"Two generals, you don't have to be sad, Zhao Bao is the Wu Qi of our Zhao country, and the widow will definitely let you inherit the will of your father Zhao Bao!"

The two of them hurriedly thanked Zhao Jun together.

Zhao Jun then first asked Zhao Bao's eldest son, General Zhao Qi:

"Zhao Qi, your father is gone, how do you plan to handle the funeral for your father?"

Zhao Qi replied:

"My father died for Zhao Guo all his life, and my Zhao period should naturally uphold my father's will and continue to live for my Zhao State, so I will also keep filial piety for my father in Handan for three years, and then help Zhao State dominate the world."

Zhao Jun asked Zhao Bao's second son, Zhao Ping:

"Zhao Ping, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Ping replied:

"Of course, I will go to Jiuyuan first, completely pacify the Hu people there, avenge my father, and then come back to keep filial piety for my father, and then fight for the world for our Zhao country."

Zhao Jun seemed to have a bias in his heart, so he motioned to Gongzi Cheng to ask about the two of them.

I only heard Gongzi Cheng ask Zhao Ping first:

"Your father has just died, why don't you keep filial piety for him, but go and avenge him first?"

Zhao Ping replied:

"The enemy's hatred is not shared with the sky, how can you keep filial piety with peace of mind if you don't repay it?"

Gongzi Cheng smiled lightly:

"I see!"

Then he asked Zhao Qi:

"Why do you insist on keeping filial piety first, instead of avenging your father like your brother?"

Zhao Qi replied:

"Although my father is gone, we are grieved, but as his eldest son, I must be sensible, if I rashly go to Jiuyuan now to avenge my father, and give Qi, Qin, Wei and other countries the opportunity to attack, then we will not harm Zhao State, so it will be against my father's wishes."

After speaking, he continued:

"So I decided to change my name to Zhao Bao after Zhao Qi, use my father's name, and inherit my father's last wish."

Zhao Jun immediately clapped his hands and applauded:

"Good...... Good...... Okay, Zhao period in the future...... It should be called Zhao Bao, you will be the minister of our Zhao State in the future, and your brother Zhao Ping has always been talented, and he can't be treated badly, your father Yang Wenjun's title is given to him, I don't know if you have any objections? ”

The two of them quickly knelt down and thanked Zhao Jun together.

Because Zhao Jun attaches great importance to Zhao Bao's family, and now he reuses Zhao Bao's second son, he naturally tries his best to protect Zhao Bao's wife Hinaji, and also sends envoys to inform Chu that it is impossible for Mrs. Hinaji to hide the matter of He's Bi, and on the grounds that Chu State framed Zhao Guo for stealing his He's Bi, she broke off contact with Chu State, but this is what Qin, Wei, and Han wanted.

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

The King of Chu was anxiously walking in the palace at this time, followed by Chu Xiang Zhaoyang and Zuotu Qu Yuan, who also had heavy expressions.

I only heard the king of Chu stop and say to Zhaoyang and Qu Yuan behind him:

"Can't you really think of a way to help the widows resist the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han?"

Zhaoyang then said:

"My king, because of the previous two defeats in the Song Dynasty and the defeat of Yue, now the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han have begun to fight our Chu State idea, although you have sent an envoy to Wei to intercede, I'm afraid it will be useless, why don't you send an envoy to Qin again, on the condition of returning the land where it is business, to see if you can make Qin give up this attack on our Chu State's heart?"

King Chu smiled coldly:

"The land of Shang Yu was obtained by our Chu State in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, why should the widow return it to the Qin State? Moreover, the Qin State stole the heavy treasure and clan of my Chu State in a high-sounding manner, and also dedicated it to the Zhao State, humiliating the widow, how could the widow give in to it? ”

Qu Yuan said on the side:

"Since the Great Monarch has no intention of making peace with the Qin army, in the face of the attack of the Three Kingdoms, with the current strength of our Chu State, it will definitely not be able to resist, and there are still two strategies to save our Chu State for today's plan."

The king of Chu was overjoyed and looked at Qu Yuan:

"What is Lingjun's strategy, hurry up!"

Qu Yuan replied:

"One of them is that the king sends the prince to the Qi country, and then uses the land of Huaisi to see if he can exchange it for reinforcements from the Qi country!"

King Chu chuckled:

"Lingjun, what is the difference between the land that cut Huai Si to Qi and the land that Zhao Gong returned to Qin and Qin? Let's talk about the next one! ”

Qu Yuan continued:

"The second method is that this time you have already sent an envoy to the Wei State, I think the King of Wei will definitely be willing to give up the idea of attacking my Chu State on the grounds of asking for Yun, Chen, Cai and other three places, and instead help our Chu State to persuade Qin Han, so Lingjun feels that it is okay for the King of Wei to agree to this request, so it is okay for the King of Wei to agree to this request!"

Wei Si smiled bitterly:

"Zhaogong, Lingjun, what is your method, it's completely to let the widow cut the land and beg for mercy, this kind of thing is unprecedented in our Chu country, the widow can't do it, can't do it!"

Qu Yuan continued:

"Great King, in contrast, this ceded Yun, Chen, and Cai to the Wei State for the time being, and let the Wei State intercede for our Chu State, which may be more reliable, so that at least it can give our Chu State a chance to breathe a sigh of relief because of the last two major defeats, and when the time comes, after our Chu State recovers, can't we find a way to take back these three places from the Wei State?"

The king of Chu was angry:

"At the critical moment, you are all unreliable, unreliable!"

Then he said to the guards on the side:

"Go and call Mo Ao and Zhang Yi, and say that the widow has a state affair to discuss."

Qu Yuan said at this time:

"King, you ask that Zhang Yi at this time, what good plan can it have? Although he has been in our Chu State for more than a year, he has not helped our Chu State, this person is not in Chu! ”

The king of Chu looked at Qu Yuan:

"Lingjun, apart from being able to accompany the widow to chant poems and drink alcohol, what can you help the widow? You want to go to Yingjiao to reform, the widow allowed you to go, and as a result, Yingjiao was made into a miasma, you persuaded the widow not to attack Bashu, just to give favors to the two countries of Bashu, and the widow did as you did, as a result, the two countries of Bashu are now taking refuge in Qin, and they have become Qin's grain endowment, how do you explain these? ”

Qu Yuan wanted to argue with the King of Chu, but was pulled by Zhaoyang on the side:

"Mi Yuan, don't be rude to the Maharaja, let's step back for the time being, calm down, and think about how to help the Chu State resist the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han this time."

Qu Yuan had no choice but to withdraw with Zhaoyang.

After a while, Zhang Yi entered the hall.

Without waiting for the King of Chu to speak first, Zhang Yi first asked him:

"King, you must be worried about the fact that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han are meeting in Michi and want to jointly attack my Chu State, right?"

The King of Chu nodded with great satisfaction:

"It seems that only Mo Ao knows the worries of the widow!"

Zhang Yi asked:

"When I came here just now, I met Zhao Gong and Lord Zuotu, it seems that you are not very satisfied with the two of them, after all, they are the ministers of the Chu State, and that is the person you can rely on, the king!"

King Chu chuckled:

"The people who the widows rely on, keep saying that the widows want the widows to cut the land to the enemy and ask for peace, and the widows rely on this kind of ministers who have died in the country, do they want to watch the destruction of my Chu country?"

Zhang Yi immediately knelt on the ground, with a bitter look:

"King, you can't say such unlucky words, our Chu State will definitely rule the world for thousands of years!"

King Chu couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, for thousands of years, dominating the world, how could the widow not want to, but now it is at the time of the national crisis of my Chu State, Zhang Yi, you hurry up and think of a good plan for the widow!"
