Chapter Fifty-Six: Pingyuan Jun Joins the Party
Pingyuanjun and Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting, their hands clasped together. These hands not only symbolize the beginning of Zhao's acceptance of the Shangdang, but also symbolize the descendants of the Zhao family and the sons of the Shangdang, working together to resist the Qin State.
The next day, Zhao Wangdan convened his ministers to discuss the matter of going to the party again. The ministers of Zhao State couldn't guess Zhao Wangdan's intentions, and they didn't see Pingyuanjun, Pingyangjun and others expressing their attitudes. The ministers of Zhao State once again reached a stalemate.
However, Pingyangjun looked at the court situation, but he believed that Zhao Wangdan would adopt his opinion and refuse to accept the party. Pingyuan Jun believed that the young Zhao Wangdan had the blood of the Zhao family's descendants Shangwu in his bones. The Qin State attacked the Shangdang, and the Shangdang took the initiative to donate the land, but Zhao Wangdan would not choose to turn a blind eye.
Sure enough, Zhao Wangdan didn't want to go to the party for a stalemate, and said to the ministers: "King Han cut the land and sued for peace, which is a loss of arrogance. Feng Ting, the party will take the initiative to dedicate land and widows. This is what the hearts of the people want. If the widow doesn't accept it, all the princes will laugh at me, and the descendants of the Zhao family have no guts. The widow decides..."
When the courtiers of Zhao State saw Zhao Wangdan, they had to make the final choice on the matter of going to the party. Everyone, holding their breath, listened quietly to whether Zhao Wangdan accepted or rejected the party.
Zhao Wangdan said loudly: "Go to the party, the widow has accepted it." ”
Pingyangjun didn't hear the words he wanted to hear, and looked at Zhao Wangdan with shocked eyes. Pingyang Jun never thought that Zhao Wangdan would make such a wrong decision. The Qin State invaded Han, the King of Han cut the land, and the party offered the land, so if you think about it quietly, you will know that there is an ulterior conspiracy hidden in it.
Feng Ting disobeyed the orders of the King of Han, betrayed Korea, and offered land to the Zhao State, was he really unwilling to become a citizen of the Qin State? Or is Feng Ting's move just to pull Zhao Guo into the water and Qin to move Zhao?
Pingyang Jun couldn't understand that Zhao Wangdan would start a war with the Qin State because of the party's hundred miles of territory. He couldn't understand why Zhao Wangdan would make such an order.
Pingyuan Jun was not surprised at all when he saw Zhao Wangdan making such an order. The descendants of the Zhao family trembled before they heard the word Qin State.
Pingyang Jun came out and admonished: "The king, the minister, does not advocate accepting the party. This is a plan by the ROK to harm our country. If we accept the party, we will go to war with the Qin State without declaring it. Because of the party, it is not a wise decision to go to war with the Qin state. ”
Several more ministers came out and agreed with Pingyangjun's views.
Pingyuan Jun was not in a hurry to speak for Zhao Wangdan, but chose to remain silent. Pingyuan Jun didn't speak because he believed that Zhao Wangdan had succeeded to the throne for several years. I can't handle this little thing. Moreover, Ping Yuanjun also knew that since Zhao Weihou's death, Zhao Wangdan had been working hard to prove himself.
If Zhao Huiwen Wang Yong died, Zhao Guolian retreated from Qin Poyan, defending the wisdom of the previous king and defending the Zhao country, thanks to Zhao Weihou. Then, accepting the party is also the beginning of Zhao Wangdan's expansion of territory and meritorious achievements. Zhao Wangdan was young, but he also longed for his grandfather's death in Zhongshan, the attack on Sanhu, the expansion of the territory and the pride of King Zhao Huiwen in the Central Plains. Feng Ting's dedication of land is not the best time to prove himself.
Zhao Wangdan saw that the ministers opposed the acceptance of the party, and did not use the authority of the king, so he scolded the ministers angrily. Zhao Wangdan did not choose to ask for help from Pingyuanjun and other ministers. After Zhao Wangdan talked with Pingyuan Jun and Guowei, he had already made a decision in his heart. Zhao Wangdan also believes that his decision is correct. Now, he just has to be steadfast in his execution.
Whether this decision is right or wrong can only be proven by time.
Zhao Wangdan took a breath, calmed his mind, and asked in a calm tone: "If the widow has a question, please answer." ”
Pingyang Jun was really surprised to see that Zhao Wangdan could speak calmly. However, Zhao Wangdan did not adopt his words, which also made him a little disappointed, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
Zhao Wangdan asked: "If the widow does not accept the party, will the Qin State attack our country?" ”
The courtiers of Zhao State made a little noise, but no one spoke.
Zhao Wangdan looked at Pingyangjun and asked, "Pingyangjun, will the Qin Kingdom attack me?" ”
"We do not accept the party, and there will be no war between our country and the Qin State in a short period of time." Pingyang Jun deliberately raised his voice, and said: "If we accept the party, we will go to war with the Qin State without declaring it." ”
"Pingyangjun means that there will always be a war between our country and the Qin State."
"Yes."
"Even so, no matter whether the widow accepts the party or not, the Qin State will fight with our country. Sooner or later, we and the Qin State will have to fight, and the initiative on the battlefield cannot be handed over to the Qin State, but should be in our hands. Zhao Wang Dan paused for a moment, raised his voice, and said: "Shangdang, the terrain is dangerous, and it is a place where soldiers must fight." If we have to join the party, we can use the terrain of the party to intercept the Qin army. The Qin State won the party, attacked my Handan, attacked my Jinyang, and could also cut off Handan's connection with Yunzhong, Yanmen, Dai, and the three counties. If the Qin State gains the party, it will be like holding our throat, and our country will be like South Korea losing its wild king, and it will be passive. The party must not be handed over to the Qin State. ”
Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan was reasonable, and the issues he considered were even more far-reaching than him. Pingyang-jun did not want to go to war directly with Qin. However, Zhao Wangdan was thinking about how to win the Qin State.
Pingyangjun was silent for a while, and asked: "If you accept the party, our country and the Qin State will have to fight." Your Majesty, have you really thought about it? ”
Zhao Wangdan's eyes were firm, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "Fight, fight, I'm a boy from the three Jin Dynasty, how could I have ever been afraid of the Qin State." The widow did not want to lose the party and miss the fighter plane, which would lead to my country's war against Qin being beaten passively and being subject to Qin. ”
One said: "Your Majesty, war, isn't it child's play." Once we go to war with Qin, the consequences cannot be estimated. The state of Qin broke through the territory west of Taihang in Korea, broke the fortress of Taihang, occupied Yewang, and cut off the connection between Shangdang and Xinzheng. The great victory of the Qin State shows that the Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves. ”
An old minister said: "There are many generals in the Qin State who can fight well. Not to mention the other generals, let's just say that Wu Anjun is white, he is a person who has fought all his life and has never lost a battle. ”
Another old minister said: "Bai Qiyique defeated Han and Wei and became famous in a battle. went south to attack Chu, broke through Chu Yingdu, and forced the king of Chu to cede land and sue for peace. In the first battle of Huayang, he killed more than 100,000 soldiers of Wei and our country. Our country's war is white, and there are many auspicious ones! ”
Another humanitarian: "South Korea can't win the Qin State, so I came up with the above plan for the party to sacrifice me." They just wanted to transfer Qin's calamity to Zhao. Your Majesty, we can't be fooled by Korea! ”
Zhao Wangdan listened to the words of the ministers, not only did not feel afraid, but inspired a strong fighting spirit in his heart. Zhao Wangdan was bold, and said in a high tone: "The Qin State has bullied the princes for a long time, and my country has also been bullied and oppressed by the Qin State. Korea could not win against Qin, and Wei did not dare to offend Qin. Our country chose to be indifferent, didn't it make Qin Guo feel that there were no men in the Three Jin Dynasty? ”
Zhao Wangdan's tone was intense, and the more he said, the more powerful he became, "South Korea can't win the Qin State, and the Wei State doesn't dare to offend the Qin State, so let our country go to the Qin State for a while." Qin has generals, but our country has no one. The widow also wants to know, Qin State or Zhao State, who is stronger. The widow also wants the princes of the world to know that with my Zhao country, Hugh wants to touch the land of the Three Jin Dynasty. ”
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan did not listen to persuasion, an old minister had to compete with the Qin State, and shouted: "Pingyuan Jun, please persuade the king." ”
The ministers also said, "King Pingyuan, please persuade the king." ”
"Minister, in favor of accepting the party." These ministers originally wanted Pingyuan Jun to use his identity and status to restrain Zhao Wangdan's willfulness. As everyone knows, Pingyuanjun is also a person who supports the acceptance of the party.
When the ministers saw that Pingyuan Jun was also in favor of accepting the party, there was an uproar.
One said: "Pingyuan-kun, this is a conspiracy of South Korea, we can't be fooled!" ”
"Ridiculous! Amusing! Pingyuan Jun looked at these ministers who were afraid when they heard about Qin, and said, "King Han cut the land and surrendered to Qin, which is unpopular. Only the people of the party are willing to dedicate their land to our country. I don't see any conspiracy. What I see is the arrogance of the Sanjin boys. Ladies and gentlemen, are the Sanjin men still arrogant? ”
Seeing these ministers who opposed the acceptance of the Shangdang, Pingyuan Jun was indignant and said: "The Shangdang army and the people, dedicate the land to our country." This is what the people want, and it is also known to the princes. My country did not accept it, and it was passed out. The princes of the world, what will they think of my descendants of the Zhao family? Qin people, wouldn't they ridicule my Zhao descendants for being incompetent? Do you watch the oppression of the Qin State and choose to be indifferent? ”
"I can't do it." Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Guarding the territory of the Three Jin Dynasty is the mission of my generation. The Shangdang men were unwilling to surrender to Qin, and would rather fight with Qin to the end, defend the territory and die in battle. I, the descendants of the Zhao family, how can I fall behind. ”
"That's what the widow means." When Zhao Wang Dan heard Pingyuan Jun's words, a fire welled up in his chest, "Han, Wei, don't dare to compete with Qin. My country chooses to be silent, and all the princes will laugh at me for having no men. ”
Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan advocated accepting the party, and there was no room for relaxation. Today, Pingyuan Jun is also in favor of accepting the party, and this matter is a foregone conclusion. Seeing that Du Changjun did not speak, Pingyang Jun had the last hope left in his heart, and asked: "Du Changjun, what do you think about whether to accept the party?" ”
Du Changjun originally wanted to stay out of the matter at this court meeting. Pingyang Jun's words made the eyes of many ministers look at him one after another. Even the eyes of Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun looked at him. Du Changjun felt that he was a unique landscape, which was particularly conspicuous.
Du Changjun watched the situation quietly and also came to a conclusion. The clan and ministers of the Zhao State, headed by Pingyuan Jun and Guowei, were in favor of accepting the Shangdang. A small number of people, such as Pingyangjun, strongly oppose the acceptance of the party. Zhao Wangdan also expressed his attitude. Accepting the party is a foregone conclusion. Whether he opposes it or supports it, it can't be changed.
Du Changjun took advantage of the situation and said: "Minister, agree with the proposition of the king and the plain king, and accept the party." ”
Zhao Wangdan saw that he had the support of Du Changjun, Pingyuanjun and others, and asked: "Pingyangjun, are you still against accepting the party." ”
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Pingyang Jun did not continue to insist on his own point of view, and sighed: "Minister, I just consider the war between Qin and Zhao. Ignoring the three Jin men, the most important thing. Minister, old and confused. Both Changjun and Pingyuan Jun are in favor of accepting the party and ministers, and what reason is there to oppose it. ”
Zhao Wangdan asked the general: "Qin State invaded my territory of the Three Jin Dynasty, how about you?" ”
All the generals said in unison: "Fight with the Qin State to the end." ”
"Okay." Zhao Wangdan had the support of Pingyuanjun, Pingyangjun, and Duchangjun, as well as the support of the generals, his confidence increased greatly, and he said loudly: "We accept the party and compete with the Qin State." We're going to give Qin a little bit of color. We must let the princes of the world understand that they should not bully the men of the three Jin Dynasty. ”
Pingyuan Jun took the lead and said: "The king is sage." ”
The ministers also shouted in unison, "The king is sage." ”
Zhao Wangdan shouted: "Xuan Feng Pavilion enters the hall. ”
After a short time, Feng Ting walked into the main hall and saluted: "Shangdang County Guard, Feng Ting, meet King Zhao." ”
"Feng Jun is exempt." Zhao Wangdan saw that Feng Ting was not called a foreign minister, but called himself a party county guard. It is enough to prove that Feng Ting is extremely chilled by King Han's act of cutting the land. Feng Ting is also ready to die for the party,
"Thanks, King Zhao." Feng Ting asked again: "I will dedicate the seventeenth Yi of the party to King Zhao, King Zhao, want it, or not." Can you give me a good word? ”
"Feng Junshou would rather become a ghost than a citizen of Qin; Feng Junshou would rather disobey the order of King Han, not hesitating to bear the infamy, but also to preserve the remaining arrogance of the Sanjin boy; Feng Junshou dedicates the above party to Zhao Guo, and the widow does not accept it, wouldn't it make the princes of the world say that I have no male son in the three Jins. Feng Junshou is intentional, how can a widow chill the heart of a king"
Feng Ting said: "King Zhao means to accept the party. ”
"On the party, the widow accepted it." Zhao Wangdan said again: "From now on, Shangdang is the territory of my Zhao State. Zhao Guo and Shangdang became one. Whoever joins the party is declaring war with Zhao State. The country of the widow and the party coexist and die together. ”
When Feng Ting heard this answer, he said excitedly: "Minister, on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of the Seventeenth Yi of the Shangdang, thank you to King Zhao." ”
Zhao Wang Dan saw that the other party claimed to be a minister, and hurriedly said: "Feng Junshou, guarding the arrogance of the Sanjin men is the responsibility and mission of each of us. ”
"Who said that there are no men in Sanjin?" Feng Ting knelt on the ground and swore: "I will dedicate the seventeenth party to Zhao Guo." From today on, I am the citizen of Zhao State. ”
"Okay." Zhao Wangdan was moved by the other party's words, and said loudly: "Feng Jun has meritorious service in guarding the land, and the widow has named you Huayang Jun." All the people in the party have been promoted three levels in a row. Shangdang is still the military and civilian guards of Shangdang. We join hands to fight Qin. ”
"Whoa." Feng Ting bowed down and said.
Zhao Wangdan knew that accepting the party meant a war with Qin, so he had to be prepared for war with Qin, and said: "Pingyuan Jun." ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "Minister, here." ”
"You lead 50,000 soldiers to accept the party, and read out the edict of the widow to beware of the Qin State." Zhao Wangdan instructed: "The widow will entrust you, Huayang Jun and Shangdang Jun?" ”
Pingyuanjun and Huayangjun commanded: "Huh." ”
