On a street about a quarter of an hour away from the temporary headquarters, there was a small area of fairly neat and imposing houses, and the gate was guarded by heavily armed soldiers of the Zhao State, and from time to time people could be seen hurriedly walking in and out of it, which was the office of the Zhao State Xiangbang.

As soon as Zhao Dan's carriage arrived, Zhao Sheng had already led his officials, large and small, out of the door.

"Ministers, see the king!"

Although it is not a bow ceremony, and it is not the first time to enjoy this kind of treatment, these dozens or hundreds of people bowed down to him together, which made Zhao Dan's heart feel a little cool.

Zhao Dan waved his hand, and his trademark gentle smile appeared on his face: "The widow is just here to take a look at random, and by the way, he will talk to Pingyuanjun about something, and Zhu Qing can take care of his own affairs." ”

So many officials dispersed, Zhao Sheng led the way in front, and took Zhao Dan to walk around here and then returned to the room where Zhao Sheng worked on weekdays.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng and found that Zhao Sheng's face had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "Pingyuanjun, although he is busy with official business on weekdays, he also needs to rest more." ”

Zhao Sheng showed a grateful look when he heard this, and said to Zhao Dan: "Thank you for your care!" I don't know why the king came? ”

Zhao Dan smiled and said to Zhao Sheng: "That's the case, today the widow went to General Pang Xuan's side, and heard General Pang Xuan and the widow say a few things, and wanted to discuss a thing or two with Pingyuan Jun." ”

Zhao Dan told Zhao Sheng about the gap in the manpower of the soldiers guarding the city, and then said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, if it is in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?" ”

Zhao Sheng thought seriously for a while and said, "King, the minister is not too good at leading the troops, but there are a few talented people under the minister. If it is according to what his generation said, then more people should be levied to go to the city to help in the war. ”

Zhao Dan nodded, and said in his heart that the idea that Zhao Sheng's disciples came up with coincided with Pang Xuan's idea, so he said: "General Pang Xuan did tell the widow about this, and the widow also agreed." But the widow thinks that this is still a good thing to take precautions, if the number of people levy is not enough to fill the gap, then what should the plain king think the widow should do? ”

This time it really stopped Zhao Sheng, after all, this Pingyuan Jun has always been better at government affairs, and he really doesn't know much about military affairs.

In fact, Zhao Sheng's doormen may not have thought of the second idea proposed by Pang Yuan, but which doorman would take the initiative to let all the doormen in the city go to the city to fight?

Zhao Sheng was stunned for a long time, and had no choice but to smile at Zhao Dan reluctantly: "The king, please forgive the ministers for their ignorance, it is really unthinkable." ”

Zhao Dan was waiting for Zhao Sheng's answer, so he immediately smiled and said, "The widow has a way, but it needs the cooperation of Pingyuan Jun." ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard this, he replied almost without thinking: "As long as the king has a life, then the minister will naturally do everything!" Will the king be released? ”

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "I heard that there are many guests in the Jun Mansion, many of whom are particularly good at martial arts, I don't know if you are willing to cut your love and integrate these guests into the army to help defend Handan?" ”

Zhao Sheng was a little stunned when he heard Zhao Dan's words.

As we all know, the reason why the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period appeared was due to the decline of the authority of Zhou Tianzi leading to the rise of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

But in any case, the princes can be regarded as the "own people" of the Zhou Dynasty after all, so although it has been "the collapse of etiquette" for so many years, many things are actually inherited from the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, including this somewhat strange relationship between monarchs and ministers.

According to the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven divided the princes, so the princes were responsible to the Son of Heaven and were under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven.

The princes are divided into princes, so the princes are responsible for the princes and are subject to the jurisdiction of the princes.

In this way, a complete pyramid system is finally formed.

But it is worth mentioning that in this pyramid, each level is accountable only to the upper level (direct superior) and not to the superior (indirect superior).

For example, between the Son of Heaven > the princes> the princes, the princes, and the doctors, the Son of Heaven can hold the princes accountable, because the Son of Heaven is the direct superior of the princes.

However, the Son of Heaven could not go beyond the princes to hold the prince accountable, and if he wanted to hold the doctor accountable, then the princes who were the direct superiors of the doctor must be held accountable.

In the words of later generations to describe the sub-feudal system, it is "the feudal lord of my feudal lord is not my feudal lord, and the feudal vassals of my vassals are not my vassals." ”

So the current situation is that the relationship between the monarch Zhao Dan > Xiangbang Zhao Sheng > Zhao Sheng's doormen, although Zhao Sheng and Zhao Sheng's doormen are nominally the courtiers of the monarch Zhao Dan, but Zhao Dan wants to let the doormen contribute to himself, and he must also get Zhao Sheng's consent.

It seems difficult to understand why this particular monarch can't command his courtiers' retainers.

But under the feudal system, this is really the reality, both in the East and the West.

Zhao Sheng hesitated for a moment after hearing Zhao Dan's words, but immediately agreed happily: "The king has an order, how can the minister not obey?" When the minister returns home today, he will gather those who are willing to use swords, select those who are good at using swords, and send them to General Pang Xuan tomorrow to listen to them! ”

Zhao Dan also smiled when he heard this, and praised: "Pingyuan Jun is indeed the minister of the humerus!" ”

Regarding Zhao Sheng's answer, Zhao Dan was actually not surprised.

After all, in the battle of Handan after the Battle of Changping in history, Zhao Sheng even got his own wife to the city wall to help in the battle, although the situation is very different from the situation in history, but Zhao Sheng's character will definitely not change much.

Besides, now Zhao is already a relatively mature centralized monarchy, and the power of Zhao Dan, the monarch, is actually far better than that of Zhou Tianzi, so few people dare to disobey Zhao Dan's wishes, especially this kind of request that sounds very reasonable.

So Zhao Dan said again: "Pingyuanjun, the widow also heard that there are many big families in Handan City, and there are many doors, and the widow thinks ......."

Zhao Dan paused deliberately and did not finish his words.

But Zhao Sheng is so good that he has already heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and immediately said: "Don't worry, the king will definitely persuade others to send the disciples to the army, and be sure to help the king win this battle!" ”

Zhao Dan was relieved when he heard this.

After all, Zhao Sheng is the current prime minister of Zhao State, and he is the leader of the aristocratic class of Zhao State, as long as Zhao Sheng is willing to do this matter, then this matter should be easy to do.

So Zhao Dan continued: "Since this is the case, let's talk about this second thing." The second thing is actually the food problem. ”

Zhao Dan's side is 1510 again, and he will ask all the questions towards Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng frowned after listening to everything Zhao Dan said, and said after a long time: "King, in the opinion of the minister, this matter ...... I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem. ”
