Zhao Wangdan was also infected by Ma Fujun's words, looked at Pingyuanjun, and pleaded: "Ma Fujun's words are reasonable. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan's words began to change, Pingyuan Jun said in a gentle tone: "Ma Fujun's sincere heart, I am very moved. However, on the battlefield, the danger is unpredictable. Ma Fujun is the god of war in our country, if you go to cut down Yan, wouldn't it be a knife to kill chickens. ”

"It is everyone's responsibility to serve the family and country. Pingyuan-kun, what do you mean by that? Ma Fujun thought for a while, and heard that the meaning of Pingyuan Jun's words was not to compliment him, but to not want him to lead the troops to attack Yan.

"The matter of cutting down Yan, the Queen Mother, the king and I have discussed, and there is already the best candidate." Ping Yuanjun saw that his words just now were a little heavy, and he was afraid of hurting the veteran, so he said: "Ma Fujun, it's up to me to get old, it's time to rest." ”

"Pingyuan-kun's words, could it be that I am old and useless." Ma Fujun laughed loudly and said loudly: "Although the minister is old, he is physically tough, and he can still serve the country and defend the territory. ”

Seeing that the other party deliberately couldn't understand what he said, Pingyuanjun said in an unkind tone: "Ma Fujun, you don't have to worry about the matter of cutting Yan." ”

"What did you say?" Ma Fujun couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

Pingyuanjun repeated: "Fa Yan, there is already the best candidate. Ma Fujun doesn't have to worry about this matter. ”

Ma Fujun restrained the anger welling up in his heart, and asked Zhao Wangdan, "Is this the meaning of the king, or the meaning of Pingyuanjun." ”

Zhao Wang Dan said gently: "The Yan Kingdom takes Gao Yangjun as the general, and cutting down Yan is a big deal. The widow still needs to think about it. ”

Ma Fujun said proudly: "Just a concubine, what is there to worry about." If the minister leads the troops, he will definitely be able to repel the invading enemy and defend our northern frontier. ”

Zhao Wangdan did not cater to Ma Fujun's words, and took retreat as advance, and said in a calm tone: "Such a big thing, a widow can't be the master." ”

Pingyuanjun said in a tactful tone: "Ma Fujun has worked hard for the country for most of his life, and it's time to rest." Leave the work of the battlefield to the young people. ”

When Ma Fujun heard the words of King Zhao, he thought that he still had a chance to fight for the country. When Pingyuan Jun's words reached his ears, his face changed suddenly. The meaning in Pingyuanjun's words is to reject the suggestion of taking him as a general and going north to the Yan Kingdom. Ma Fujun also knew what the status of Pingyuan Jun was in the queen mother, the king, important ministers and the clan. The words of Pingyuan Jun also represent the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhao and Wang He of Zhao.

Ma Fujun looked at Pingyuanjun with lonely and angry eyes, and didn't say a word.

Pingyuan Jun saw that Ma Fujun insisted on going to the Northern Expedition to Yanguo. However, there are some things that he can't say in front of Ma Fujun. After thinking about it, Pingyuan Jun could only use this way of speaking, which hurt Ma Fujun's heart.

Zhao Wangdan saw that the atmosphere was suddenly cold, but he didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere. His eyes sometimes looked at Ma Fujun, and sometimes at Pingyuanjun. Zhao Wangdan thought to himself: "Ma Fujun and Pingyuan Jun have made a lot of trouble over the matter of cutting down Yan. And what should he do? ”

Ma Fujun thought about it for a while, and finally figured it out. Why did King Zhao and the Queen Mother prefer to exchange the land of Jidong for the Qi general Anpingjun, but refused to use their own generals to cut down Yan. He also figured out why when the Queen Mother made this decree, the ministers of the court and the central government did not oppose it strongly.

Ma Fujun figured it out, laughed instead of being angry, looked at Pingyuanjun, and said in a sad tone: "I'm old and useless." ”

After Ma Fujun finished saying these words, he walked out of the main hall.

Zhao Wangdan saw that Ma Fujun was gone, and the heart that was in his throat was finally relieved. Pingyuanjun didn't expect Ma Fujun to leave these words, so he left in a dashing manner, and looked at the back of Ma Fujun leaving with incredible eyes. Pingyuanjun also knew that his actions made this veteran general who fought on the battlefield heartbroken.

Zhao Wangdan saw Ma Fujun's back disappear from sight, and asked, "Uncle, Ma Fujun is reasonable. Uncle, why don't you take Ma Fujun's opinion. ”

"Although Ma Fujun is old, his enthusiasm is undiminished." Pingyuan Jun said: "The battlefield is unpredictable, and Ma Fujun has made great achievements for our country and shocked the princes. We must preserve the prestige of Ma Fujun and let him live the rest of his life in peace. ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Uncle's words, the widow also agrees. Why didn't my uncle tell Ma Fujun what he thought. The widow listened to what Ma Fujun said, and the lonely back when he left, and he couldn't bear it. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "There are some things that cannot be said. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked confusedly, "Why can't you say it?" ”

"I don't agree to Ma Fujun's suggestion, firstly, to preserve his wisdom and let him spend his old age in peace." Pingyuan-kun took a deep breath and said, "There are deeper considerations. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "What else does my uncle have to consider?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said patiently: "Your Majesty, we will exchange land with the Qi State to make it a foregone conclusion. If the order is changed, Qi will be angry when he learns about it. Moreover, the edict of land exchange has been sent to Linzi. The king of Qi also agreed to change generals, and An Pingjun was also on the way here. If we suddenly change the decree, Qi Guo will definitely feel humiliated. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Isn't my uncle worried that adopting Ma Fujun's suggestion will anger the Qi State?" ”

"Not bad." Pingyuanjun's eyes looked out of the hall again. However, there is another reason he didn't say, that is, he proposed the move of exchanging land for generals.

Zhao Wangdan sighed: "Uncle's meaning, if you explain it to Ma Fujun, Ma Fujun can also understand it." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "People who understand me, why bother to explain." ”

Zhao Wangdan also knew the personality of this uncle, looked at him and said, "Uncle is like this, Ma Fujun will hold a grudge." ”

"If he hates me, hate me." When Pingyuan-kun said those words, he was already ready to bear the consequences of these words.

Zhao Wangdan asked again: "I heard that Ma Fujun used to be a small official who collected taxes in my country, and when he collected rent and taxes, he was punished according to law and killed nine uncles who were in power and refused to pay taxes. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wang Dan said hesitantly, Pingyuan Jun said cheerfully: "Ma Fujun is the person who killed my nine stewards, and I also angrily threatened to kill him. However, some of Ma Fujun's words made me ashamed. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked curiously: "What did Ma Fujun say that made my uncle change his mind." ”

Pingyuanjun remembered what Ma Fujun said, but he didn't want to say it, and said with a faint smile: "It's been too long, and I can't remember it clearly." Ma Fujun said those words that made me think that he was a rare talent, so I recommended him to the first king. ”

Thinking of this, Pingyuan Jun instantly thought of why Zhao Wangdan asked him this question, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, do you think that my rejection of Ma Fujun's proposal to attack Yan is a personal vendetta. ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that Pingyuanjun's face changed greatly, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly remedied: "Uncle, the widow doesn't mean this. ”

Pingyuan Jun didn't think about what Zhao Wangdan meant by what he said, but he knew that someone must have made a big fuss about this matter, and laughed: "Although I am not a great sage, a great sage. But I'm not a small-bellied person either. I have revenge on the spot, and I will not wait for ten years. Those who say I am underestimating me. ”

Zhao Wangdan changed the topic and said: "Uncle rejected Ma Fujun's proposal, why isn't Ma Fujun angry." ”

"Him! When he is an official, he enforces the law impartially; For the future, love the nurse soldiers, and break the Qin war; Make great contributions, not rebellious, but more humble. I am ashamed of this person's mind and courage. Pingyuanjun has a deep understanding of Ma Fujun, and he also understands that Ma Fujun remembers his kindness back then and does not want to be bad with him.

Zhao Wangdan also believes that Pingyuan Jun is not a villain who has to compete and holds a grudge. He must have said these things sincerely. Not to mention whether Ma Fujun has the strength to repel the Yan Kingdom. However, An Pingjun alone can maintain the relationship between Yan, Zhao, and Qi, so what's wrong. Although Zhao took An Pingjun as his general and lost the land of Jidong. However, these lost lands can recover the losses from the Yan Kingdom, and the Zhao Kingdom will not suffer much damage.

Zhao Wangdan said: "Uncle, An Pingjun is coming to Handan, and I ask my uncle to greet him on behalf of the widow." ”

"Whoa." Pingyuanjun saluted and walked out of the main hall.

Three days later, An Pingjun came to the outskirts of Handan, Zhao State, but saw Pingyuanjun greet him in person, and drove forward and said, "Meet Pingyuanjun." ”

Pingyuanjun saw that An Pingjun came to Zhao alone, and after being stunned, he hurriedly replied: "An Pingjun, we meet again." ”

An Pingjun once had some exchanges with Pingyuanjun, and the two met like friends, and they inevitably exchanged a few words. Pingyuanjun smiled and said, "Anpingjun, my king is waiting for you in Congtai Palace." Let us hurry into the palace and meet my king. ”

An Pingjun raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

An Pingjun drove forward and looked at the towering city wall, engraved with the word Handan. Although he had not been away for a long time, he had returned again, which made him feel a little more familiar. This city has witnessed too much bitter blood and tears, and has also witnessed the history of the struggle of the Zhao family, and also witnessed how the Zhao family's immortal monarch Zhao Wuling, who has not been born for a hundred years, gave orders here and led the weak Zhao State to a strong state.

Although King Zhao Wuling has been an ancient man for many years, the legend about him is still circulating. Especially which one disregarded the world's vision, dared to break the concept of Huaxia noble and Hu people's inferiority, and promoted Hufu riding and shooting. Which man who died in Zhongshan, attacked Beihu, built the Great Wall, and expanded Hujiang for thousands of miles, how is it not sought after.

If King Zhao Wuling is not dead, what will be the situation in the world, it is really desirable.

An Pingjun remembered the life of King Zhao Wuling, who was not defeated by Hu, and promoted the north and the Central Plains, but died inside, and suffered the punishment of the two sons, and was finally trapped in the sand dunes, sighing.

Pingyuanjun saw An Pingjun's carriage stop, stared at the word Handan with both eyes, and asked, "Anpingjun, what's wrong." ”

An Pingjun came back to his senses and said lonely: "When I came to Handan again, I remembered a person who could sing and cry and made me admire. ”

Pingyuanjun asked: "I don't know who can make An Pingjun who saved the Qi country in danger admire." ”

"Is he?" An Pingjun's words came to his mouth and forcibly swallowed them back. After all, the change of the sand dune palace of King Zhao Wuling is a taboo for the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State. An Pingjun changed the topic and said: "Pingyuanjun, let's enter the palace to face the saint." ”

"An Pingjun, please." Although Pingyuanjun wanted to know who the person An Pingjun admired. However, An Pingjun didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask too much.

Pingyuan Jun shouted: "The minister and An Pingjun ask to see." ”

"Please An Pingjun." The voices came one after another, wave after wave.

An Pingjun, together with Pingyuan Jun and the voices one after another, stepped into Congtai Palace to meet Zhao Wangdan. Entering the palace, Pingyuan Jun saluted and said, "Minister, meet my king." ”

An Pingjun also said: "Foreign minister, meet King Zhao." ”

Zhao Wangdan hurriedly said: "Give a seat." ”

After An Pingjun and Pingyuan-kun saluted, they walked to their seats. Before Zhao Wangdan could speak, he heard An Pingjun ask in a loud voice: "The foreign minister was ordered by the king of Qi to come to help Zhao Fanyan. ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to it, and said with joy: "Great, the widow has to be peaceful, and he can win 100,000 male soldiers." With An Pingjun's help, why worry about Yan Guo not breaking. ”

An Pingjun listened to Zhao Wangdan's tone when he spoke, as well as the look in his eyes, but it reminded him of the scene when he and King Qi met for the first time more than ten years ago. It's a pity that he was finally defeated by King Qi.
