Chapter 54 Zhao Xiaocheng Wang accepted the party

When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he was also touched by the other party's words. Indeed, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei were divided into Jin and established vassal states. The men of the Three Jin Dynasty, known as arrogant, could not give in to the Qin State.

Seeing some of the words of the courtiers of Zhao State, Pingyuan Jun broke Feng Ting's heart, and eased the atmosphere and said: "Feng Junshou, don't blame me and others. Feng Junshou offered the party because he didn't want to become a citizen of the Qin State. However, the land of Shangdang is related to the relationship between Zhao, Han, Qin, and the three kingdoms. This matter is very important and sudden. We have this reaction, and it's normal. ”

Pingyuan Jun's identity and status, how could Feng Ting not know. Feng Ting saw Pingyuanjun saluting him, and he also saluted back and said, "Pingyuanjun said yes. When I saw the party, I was in danger. Emotional, a little excited. ”

Ping Yuanjun saw that the other party's tone softened a lot, and said: "Feng Junshou, let's discuss the matter of going to the party, and then give you an answer, it's feasible." ”

"Very good." Feng Ting was worried that Zhao Guo's choice would be delayed for a long time, and the party would definitely not exist, so in order not to tear his face with Zhao Guoshang, he said meekly: "The deadline for my country and Qin to agree to cut off the party is approaching. The matter of going to the party cannot be delayed for too long. King Zhao doesn't want to accept the party, please tell the ministers as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "If the widow does not accept the party, what will happen to Feng Junshou?" ”

Feng Ting said: "Shangdang County will definitely fight with the Qin State to the end. ”

Although Zhao Wangdan saw that the other party's words were not high, he showed that he would not give in. Zhao Wangdan pondered for a little and thought: "Who said that the Han man has no arrogance. ”

"Feng Junshou, please go down and rest. We have discussed and will get back to you as soon as possible. "Pingyuan Jun also knows that the land of Shangdang has dragged on for too long, even if Zhao State decides to accept Shangdang, I am afraid it will also become the territory of Qin State.

"Good. I await your reply. After three days, there was no reply from you. I will set out to return to the party, and your country should not have such a thing. Feng Ting saluted Zhao Wang Dan, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

After Feng Ting left, Zhao Wangdan faced the ministers and asked, "Feng Ting is above the seventeen party towns and dedicated them to our country." Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that the widow accepts or does not accept? ”

As soon as Zhao Wangdan's words fell, Zhao Guoqun's ministers sparked a heated debate. Some people are in favor of accepting the party, some people are against it, and some people choose to remain silent. The ministers of Zhao discussed for most of the day, but did not come up with a plan.

"Alright." Zhao Wangdan listened to the words of the ministers, his head was dizzy, and he lost his patience.

The ministers of Zhao State couldn't figure out Zhao Wangdan's intentions, and when they saw Zhao Wangdan's unhappy face, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Zhao Wangdan got up, shook his stiff neck, faced the ministers, and his tone faintly revealed that he was not good, "The widow has listened to it for so long, and you have not discussed a satisfactory result for the widow. That's it! That's it! The widow is tired, so let's stop it today and discuss it tomorrow. ”

Zhao Wangdan returned to the harem, calmed down, and thought about going to the party. Shangdang Seventeen Yi, a hundred miles of territory, is a piece of fat. Bring it to your mouth and don't eat it! The subjects of Zhao and the princes of the world will laugh at him for being timid. This matter has been spread, where is the national prestige of Zhao State, and where is his face.

If he eats this piece of fat, it shows the national prestige of Zhao and saves his face. However, Zhao Guo was able to eat this piece of fat.

Zhao Wangdan's heart was full of contradictions, and it was difficult to choose. Suddenly, Zhao Wangdan remembered that Pingyang Jun was silent about the party in the court, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it became. Zhao Wangdan recruited henchmen and went to summon Pingyang Jun into the palace. Not long after, Pingyang Jun came to the harem and met Zhao Wangdan.

Seeing that there was no one in the hall except for Zhao Wangdan and a few maids, Pingyang Jun stepped forward and saluted: "Minister, meet the king." ”

"Pingyang-kun, don't be polite." Zhao Wangdan stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Zhao Wangdan replied: "Thank you, your majesty." ”

Zhao Wangdan got straight to the point and said: "The widow summoned you to the palace alone, I want to hear your views on the affairs of the party." There's no one else here, just say it. ”

When Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan encountered such a major event, he did not consult with Pingyuan Jun at the first time, but instead looked for him. Suddenly, Pingyang Jun realized that he had a pivotal position in Zhao Wangdan's heart. However, Pingyang Jun knew that Zhao Wangdan's personality was not firm enough and he was not decisive enough, but he was competitive. At this time, Zhao Wangdan told him to admit that he didn't know where to speak.

Zhao Wangdan didn't want anyone to hear about this conversation, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go down!" ”

"Whoa." They saluted and withdrew.

Zhao Wangdan saw that Pingyangjun was slow to speak, and lost patience, "Say it!" ”

Pingyang Jun said: "Your Majesty, how do you see Feng Ting's affairs." ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't show his intentions, but asked: "The widow is asking you how to think about the party." ”

Seeing that he couldn't get useful information from Zhao Wangdan, Pingyang Jun had no choice but to express his own opinions, and said warmly: "The king, the minister, do not approve of accepting the party. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Why?" ”

Seeing that there was no change on Zhao Wangdan's face, Pingyang Jun let go and said, "Minister, I don't approve of accepting the party." It's because of the land of the party, which is a curse, not a blessing. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "If my country has the party, we can strengthen the territory of Zhao State and improve the overall strength of our country." This is a good thing, but how can it be a curse. ”

Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan thought things too simply, and said with a smile: "It is a disaster to be a party member, and the minister has a basis." ”

"You say."

Pingyang Jun raised his voice: "If we have to join the party, we will fight with the Qin State without declaring it." ”

Zhao Wangdan's expression moved slightly: "Undeclared war? ”

Pingyangjun nodded and said: "The Qin State fought with Korea for three years, and thousands of soldiers died. It was not easy for the Qin State to get the land of the Korean party. We saw the fruits of victory, but we took them away. Qin State, how can it give up. ”

Zhao Wangdan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Widow, forget this relationship." According to what you said, being a party is not a blessing, but the beginning of a curse. ”

Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan was deep in thought, and said: "We take the party, it seems that it is beneficial to our country." However, the Qin State will definitely attack me. Our country has to be the party, offend the Qin State, and can't hold it, the harm outweighs the good, it's better not to. ”

Zhao Wangdan pondered for a little and asked, "The widow understands." Feng Ting used the party as bait to want our country to be involved in the war between Qin and South Korea. ”

"What the king said is very true." Pingyangjun slowed down his tone and said, "South Korea can't win against Qin. The Shangdang is unwilling to cede the land and surrender to Qin, and it can't hold it with the power of the Shangdang alone. Feng Ting saw that he couldn't win the Qin State, and there was no hope of returning to Han. Feng Ting offered the party just to move Zhao for Qin and drag us into the water. We must not be fooled, O king. ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Do you mean that Shangdang was forced into a corner by the Qin State before he dedicated it to our country?" ”

"The king's words are also what the ministers want to say." Pingyangjun paused a little, and then said: "Go to the party, don't offer it sooner, don't offer it later." Korea ceded Shangdang to the Qin State, and Shangdang guarded it, disobeying the order of the King of Han, and dedicated it to our country. This is not harboring evil intentions, intending to transfer Qin to Zhao, what is it. ”

Although Zhao Wangdan figured out this section, his tone was still a little unwilling to ask: "Feng Ting offers the party, and the widow doesn't want it." ”

Although Pingyang Jun knew that Zhao Wang Dan was unwilling, in order to make the other party die, he said: "Feng Ting tried to transfer Qin to Zhao, this abacus is a good one!" When our country accepted the party, it went to war with the Qin State without declaring it. Our country's strength is insufficient to resist Qin, and it is better to have more than one thing. The minister thinks that we don't want to go to the party. ”

"Think about the matter of going to the party." Zhao Wangdan didn't show his attitude, and waved his hand: "You go down!" ”

Pingyang Jun knew Zhao Wangdan, and he didn't want to say more, so he bowed and retired.

Zhao Wangdan remembered what Pingyang Jun said, and he had a little more worries in his heart. However, in the face of the huge temptation of Shangdang's seventeen yi, a hundred miles of territory, if he did not accept it, he would be a little unwilling. When the ministers saw it, they said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon Pingyuan Jun, Guowei and others into the palace?" ”

"Let the widow also listen to the opinions of his ministers. You go and call the Plains King and the Captain. ”

Pingyuan Jun Gongzi Sheng and Guowei Zhao Yu entered the palace at the same time. Zhao Yu saw Pingyuanjun and saluted: "Meet Pingyuanjun." ”

Pingyuanjun replied: "Captain, you are here too." ”

The lieutenant asked, "Pingyuan King, the king summoned us and others, I don't know what it was for. ”

Pingyuan Jun asked rhetorically, "What else can the king summon us for?" ”

The lieutenant lowered his voice and said, "Pingyuanjun means that the king summoned us for the sake of the party. ”

Hirahara-kun smiled and nodded in reply.

The lieutenant asked again: "What is the king's attitude towards the party?" ”

Pingyuan Jun walked in the direction of the palace on the one hand, and said on the other side: "Although our king is young, he also has the demeanor of the previous king, but he has not entered the world deeply and is not bold enough. The land of the party, in the eyes of the king, is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and unwilling to abandon it. The king is also troubled by this matter. ”

The national lieutenant believed Pingyuan-kun's judgment and asked, "What is Pingyuan-kun's attitude?" ”

Pingyuanjun didn't answer and asked, "What is the attitude of the national captain?" ”

The national lieutenant expressed his attitude and said, "I support Pingyuan-kun. ”

Pingyuan Jun got the attitude of the national lieutenant, and said calmly: "The party is like fat meat, if it is sent to the mouth, there is no reason not to eat it." ”

Pingyuan Jun and Guowei entered the palace, faced King Zhao, and saluted: "Minister, meet the king." ”

"You don't have to be polite, sit down quickly." Zhao Wangdan excused himself from the false courtesy, and said: "The widow summoned the two to come here for the sake of the party. ”

When the national lieutenant heard this, he looked at Pingyuan Jun and thought, "He really guessed it." ”

Pingyuan Jun knew Zhao Wangdan's character, and he was not tempted, and said bluntly: "Minister, I am in favor of accepting the party." ”

Seeing that Pingyuanjun expressed his attitude, the national lieutenant also said: "The minister is also in favor of accepting the party." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Uncle, why do you want to accept the party?" ”

Pingyuanjun asked, "Does the king remember that dream a few days ago?" ”

"Of course the widow didn't forget." Zhao Wangdan's strange dream has been lingering in his mind all the time, how can he forget it.

"Feng Ting's dedication to the party, isn't it the dream of Ying and the king?" Pingyuan Jun said again: "Feng Ting's dedication of land, isn't it gold, sent to the king?" ”

Zhao Wangdan also felt that Feng Ting's dedication of land was like a land full of gold, but he remembered Pingyang Jun's words and asked: "If we accept the party, will it bring disaster to our country." ”

When Pingyuan Jun saw what Zhao Wangdan said, he must have heard the opinions of some ministers, but when he looked at Zhao Wangdan's eyes, he still wanted to accept Shangdang, and said with a smile, "The land of Shangdang is larger than the territory of Wei, Lu and other vassal states. What we gain is like opening up a territory and losing a prince. If we don't waste a soldier and a soldier, we will have a hundred miles of territory, this is a great gift from God, how can we not want it. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "Where can we go to the party?" ”

Pingyuan Jun Zhengse said: "Feng Ting dedicated the party, this is the desire of the people. If I don't take it, how will the princes of the world think of me? What is the face of my Zhao boy. ”

Zhao Wangdan said in an uneasy tone: "King Han has ceded Shangdang to Qin, and if we accept Shangdang, we will fight with Qin without declaring war." ”

Pingyuan Jun asked: "Your Majesty, if we don't accept the party, the Qin State won't send troops to attack me?" ”

Zhao Wangdan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"If we accept the party or not, we and the Qin State will fight sooner or later. If we can join the party, we can have a buffer with the Qin state. Shangdang will also become our frontline in the fight against Qin. Seeing that Zhao Wangdan didn't speak, Pingyuan Jun said, "If I don't take it, the Qin people will take it too." ”

Captain Zhao Yu also said: "Your Majesty, Pingyuan Jun is right. The Qin State relied on its national strength to oppress the princes. Our country has been bullied by the Qin State a lot. Far away, the minister will not say anything. Closer, as soon as the king succeeded to the throne, Qin cut me down and took five cities. The king has not forgotten this! ”

Zhao Wangdan remembered that when the Qin State succeeded to the throne, he sent troops to attack Zhao, and said with a slight anger in his eyes: "Don't forget the widow." ”

Zhao Yu said again: "If our country does not take the party, Qin will take it, which will not only strengthen the strength of Qin, but also stimulate the ambition of Qin." The Qin State will think that there will be no male children in the Three Jins, and disasters will continue. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "Feng Ting's dedication of land, could it be to transfer Qin to Zhao." ”

Pingyuanjun took over and said, "Our country and the Qin State will fight sooner or later. Today, I will take a step back and not take the party. Shangdang was taken by the Qin state. The state of Qin took the party as its base and sent troops to attack me. It's too late for us to regret it. ”

Although Zhao Wangdan listened, his tone was still uneasy: "Can we fight with the Qin State?" ”

"The first king once said that opportunities and challenges coexist." Pingyuan Jun slowed down his tone and said, "The Qin State oppresses the princes and oppresses our country. We must not forget these things. ”

Zhao Wangdan said angrily: "The widow was deceived by the Qin State, how can he forget." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Shangdang is located in Taihang, which is the border between China and Wei and South Korea, and the terrain is condescending. This place is also a strategic place for soldiers to fight. Qin, once he got the party, he would describe the oppressive trend to the Sanjin. Near, you can threaten Handan and attack my Jinyang. far, it can cut off the connection between our country and the three counties of Dai, Yanmen and Yunzhong. We can't let the Shangdang fall into the hands of the Qin State. ”

"None of this is known." Zhao Wangdan still couldn't make up his mind, "If we accept the party, we will be dragged into the water by South Korea." Because of the land of Shangdang, there was a war with Qin, which is what South Korea wants to see. The widow didn't want to go to war with Qin because of Shangdang. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan was thinking too naΓ―vely, Pingyuan Jun asked: "Feng Ting dedicated the party, Qin and Han both know it, and the princes of the world also know it." If we don't accept it, how will the princes of the world think of my descendants of the Zhao family? Qin people, how will they laugh at me? ”

"If we accept the party, it will inevitably start a war with Qin. Uncle, can we go to war with the Qin State? ”

"There are generals in the Qin State, but there are no generals in our country. If the Qin State wants to fight, we will fight it. Since we want to fight, we must take advantage of the time, place, and people. If we do not accept the party, we can only be beaten passively against the war of the Qin State. We will be subject to Qin. ”

Zhao Yu also said: "Minister, I also agree with Pingyuan Jun's words." The land of the party cannot fall into the hands of the Qin State. ”

"The widow can't insult the wisdom of the descendants of the Zhao family." Zhao Wangdan listened to Pingyuan Jun's words, and his whole person was full of strength, "In the land of the party, the widow will accept it." If the Qin State wants to fight, we will fight him to the end. ”
