Chapter 254: Asking Questions
Zhao Jia only said a word, and all the angry Yan Guowen and Wu were silent, even if they were still very angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything more.
Especially those Yan generals who drew their swords, they also withdrew their blades with their eyes breathing fire.
Since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy.
Yan has been defeated by Zhao State repeatedly, and the court of Yan State knows that weak Yan cannot compete with strong Zhao, and if he rashly provokes a war, Yan Guo's fate will definitely not be good.
In fact, since the end of the war of the Yan Dynasty, the Yan State has been reduced to a small country of the last class, and it is no longer able to compete with Zhao.
It's a pity that King Yan is still unsinister, and has repeatedly united with Qin to provoke wars, making Yan weaker and weaker, and finally even lost the courage to fight with Zhao.
Today's Zhao State, even if it is only the land of Shenqi to send troops, it is not impossible to compete with the Yan State.
Faced with the threat of war, the whole Yan Kingdom could only suppress the anger in their hearts, secretly endured this humiliation, and did not dare to force Zhao Jia again.
Yan Xiangjiang didn't expect that things would come to this point.
He stepped forward and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Yan Zhenxin and Zhao are brothers, if the prince is willing to uphold justice for the Yan country, the Yan country will never dare to forget the grace of the son!" “
Looking at the general who was friendly to Zhao Guo in front of him, Zhao Jia's face also soothed.
He put his sword into the sheath and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to help Yan State, but the land of Du Kang has long been occupied by Qi State, even if Yan State has not settled all the affairs, Qi State will never give up that anointed land, even if Zhao State intervenes, it will be so, and it will even cause discord between Zhao and Qi." ”
"And the king of Yan once made a document, after the end of the war against Qin, he will recognize that the land of the governor belongs to the Qi country, and hand over all the affairs, even if the Zhao country wants to help the Yan country, but it is also powerless!"
Jiang Qu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
He was very smart, and after learning that Zhao Jiatie was determined not to admit King Zhao's previous promise, he simply stopped mentioning that matter, so as not to let things continue to deteriorate.
Although this seems to be a bit forbearing, it seems to be a bit cowardly, and it also seems to be a great injustice to Yan Guo.
However, if the two countries have diplomatic relations, how can a weak country have the right to speak?
Yan Guo's tense but desperate forbearance court meeting finally came to an end, until the time of the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Jia still did not let go, obviously did not want to help Yan Guo to return to the place of governor, and even had the intention of forcing King Yan to comply.
Zhao Jia's actions undoubtedly made Yan Guo, who had pinned his hopes on Zhao Guo, shattered in an instant.
At the end of the court meeting, although Zhao Jia left, King Yan and some important ministers of Yan still stayed in the hall with a gloomy face.
"Whoa!"
King Yan had long been annoyed, and after seeing Zhao Jia leave, he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly pulled everything on the case to the ground.
Then, he pointed to the person who had sent an envoy to the Zhao State in the past, and scolded angrily: "You say that the King of Zhao does not want the Qi Kingdom to become bigger, and after the war is over, he will help the widow to recapture the land of the governor, and the result!" ”
Looking at the angry King Yan, the man lowered his head and didn't dare to say much, but he also knew that his career was probably coming to an end.
"And you, you have always advocated that Yan and Zhao form an alliance and want to become a friend to fight against Qin, but now, Zhao has bullied the widows too much, how to let the widows continue to ally with Zhao!"
Jiang Qu was scolded by King Yan like this, although he felt aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't refute it.
This time, Zhao Guo did go a little too far.
King Yan lost his temper, and gradually calmed down, and then shouted at everyone: "What about today's plan? ”
Everyone in the Yan Kingdom was silent, and finally Jiang Qu had to bite the bullet and say: "Since King Zhao sent Pingqi Jun to personally envoy to Yan Kingdom, it must not be to break the promise, otherwise you can send people here at will." ”
"The king can stabilize Pingqi Jun first, and then send someone to Handan to ask King Zhao about this."
"During this period, we can also contact Pingqi Jun more and see if we can move Pingqi Jun and help my Yan Kingdom regain the land of Dukang."
King Yan's face was gloomy, but he didn't refute Jiang Qu.
For the sake of today's plan, it would be better if it could be said that Zhao Guo would help Yan Guo regain the land of Du Kang, but King Yan had already decided that he would not pin all his hopes on Zhao Guo's mercy.
Prior to this, because Zhao Jia sent an envoy to Yan on behalf of Zhao State, and Yan Guo wanted to ally with Zhao State, Cai Ze, who had always been friendly to Qin State, was excluded from the court.
Even, even the court meeting just now, Cai Ze was not allowed to participate.
Today's Cai Ze's identity is extremely embarrassing.
Although he is a Yan minister, he has always been regarded as the eyes and ears sent by Qin because he once served as the prime minister of Qin.
In this environment where Zhao must be allied with, it is reasonable for Cai Ze to be treated coldly.
Cai's mansion, the door is full of birds, compared to when Cai Ze just returned from the Qin State, I don't know how much deserted.
"Shangqing, the king has summoned!"
Just when Cai Ze was worried, he suddenly waited for the summons of the palace guards, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly said in his heart: "It must be Zhao Jia who offended the king, so he summoned me to the palace to reunite with Qin!" ”
Cai Ze was happy in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, but entered the palace in a very low-key manner.
"King Wan'an!"
Cai Ze saw King Yan with a sad face, and stepped forward to salute respectfully.
"Shangqing, this time Zhao Guo has reversed his word, and he does not recognize the promise of promising us to recapture the land of Du Kang in the past, then Zhao Jia also urged the widow to hand over all the things in the land of Du Kang as soon as possible, which is simply too deceitful!"
Cai Ze did not follow King Yan's words to criticize how despicable Zhao Guo was, but asked calmly: "Dare to ask the king, is it the intention of King Zhao or Zhao Jia, the king of Pingqi, to cede the land of Du Kang to Qi State?" ”
Hearing this, King Yan asked rhetorically, "Is there any difference?" ”
Cai Ze smiled: "Of course there is a difference. ”
King Yan asked again: "Qing, please speak up!" ”
Cai Ze said eloquently: "Although Zhao is strong now, there are rumors in the world that his father and son are not in harmony, if the two disagree, then the king has an opportunity." ”
King Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, but soon said sadly: "This is a major national event, even if his father and son are not in harmony, there must be no disagreement." ”
Cai Ze shook his head and said, "The minister's guess is just the opposite of the king. ”
King Yan hurriedly asked, "Why did Qing say this?" ”
Cai Ze said: "If the minister speaks bluntly, I hope the king will not blame!" ”
King Yan waved his hand and said, "But please speak bluntly, the widow will never blame!" ”
"Now that the Zhao State is strong, except for Qin and Chu, all countries are in awe, on the contrary, the Yan State has been weakened repeatedly, and it no longer poses any threat to the Zhao State."
"If the king is in the position of King Zhao, does he want to keep the Yan Kingdom in the east, which is not the slightest threat, in the east, or weaken the Yan State so that the Qi State can grow?"
When King Yan heard this, his face was a little unpleasant, but he still nodded and said: "If the widow is the king of Zhao, it would be better for Yan and Qi to contain each other, and it will never weaken the Yan country to strengthen the Qi country." ”
Cai Ze asked again: "Then the minister dares to ask again, if the king is Pingqijun, what will he do?" ”
King Yan pondered for a long time, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "The widow understands!" ”
