After Pingyang Jun and Zheng Zhu left, Zhao Wangdan thought about joining the party and was about to cut half to Qin State. Suddenly, Zhao Wangdan felt that his heart was like a knife. Thinking about it, the beautiful mountains and rivers of Shangdang instantly became the territory of the Qin State. Zhao Wangdan's food is tasteless and he can't sleep at night.

The next day, the east bloomed to reveal the white of the fish's belly. The glow shines into Handan City. The glow hit Zhao Wangdan's body, making him feel no warmth.

Seeing Zhao Wangdan's uneasy expression, the eunuch Ling asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the minister to go and find Yu Qing." ”

Zhao Wangdan took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and said in a solemn tone: "Yu Qing asked the widows to join the princes and fight Qin together. The widow did not take his advice, and when he saw it, the widow should say something. ”

The eunuch ordered: "Yu Qing is a wise man, and the king will benefit a lot from talking to him." ”

Zhao Wangdan happened to have a lot to ask Yu Qing, nodded and said, "You go and call him to the widow." ”

"Whoa." The eunuch ordered the order, bowed and retreated.

After a while, Yu Qing came to the high platform and saluted: "Minister, please meet the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan turned his back to Yu Qing and sighed: "Yu Qing, look at the scenery of my Handan, it is so beautiful." This is the widow's Handan! ”

Yu Qing was not in the mood to look at the scenery in front of him.

Seeing that Yu Qing didn't speak, Zhao Wangdan turned around, looked at him, and asked, "The widow summoned you because there is something to ask." ”

Zhao Wangdan sent an envoy to Qin to negotiate peace, and Yu Qing already knew about it. Zhao Wangdan summoned him to the palace for questioning, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was about peace. Yu Qing avoided Zhao Wangdan's gaze, looked at the birds that crisscrossed the world, and said gently: "Minister, offer a plan." Your Majesty, do not adopt it. The king asked, and I said, what did it mean? The minister thinks that the king does not ask, and the minister does not answer. That's the best. ”

"The widow didn't listen to your plan and sent someone to Qin to negotiate peace. The widow knows, you are angry. Zhao Wangdan knew that the other party was angry, and he didn't blame him, "But, you have to take into account the thoughts of the widow and the situation he is facing." The act of widowhood has offended you. The widow makes amends to you. ”

Yu Qing didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to lower his status to talk to him, and replied: "The minister admits that the king is very smart. However, the king's wisdom was used in the wrong place. Qin State and princes, we can only choose one. The king wanted to choose both. ”

"You see through the widow's mind. The widow said it directly. Zhao Wangdan turned around, looked at the sky in the distance, and expressed the uneasiness in his heart, "Our country can't win the Qin State, and the widow doesn't want to start a war with the Qin State, let alone escalate the contradictions between the two countries." You are right, the widow wants to be a better prince, but also does not want to have a bad relationship with the Qin State. The state of Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and all the princes know it. The widows allied with the princes, and the king of Qin learned about it. There is no room for easing the contradictions between the two countries. ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan thought about the diplomatic relations too simply, and also regarded the Qin State as too benevolent, and sighed lightly: "The sage once said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. Your Majesty, do you want fish, or do you want bear's paws? ”

The breeze blew on the corners of Zhao Wangdan's clothes. Zhao Wangdan looked sober, opened his arms, and said in a powerful tone: "The widow wants a fish, but also a bear's paw." ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan, as the king of a country, did not know how to choose, which was the king's biggest taboo. However, he was a courtier, and he could not accuse the king of his faults. Moreover, Yu Qing also knows. With Zhao Weihou and Pingyuan Jun here, Zhao Wangdan can still listen to the opinions of his courtiers. Zhao Wei passed away, and Pingyuan Jun was in Changping again. Zhao Wangdan has a proud personality and will not listen to what he says.

Yu Qing looked at Zhao Wangdan's back, but it was too far from the back of the previous king. Yu Qing was a little sentimental and asked, "If the king wants to ask his ministers, just ask!" ”

Zhao Wangdan put down his arm and looked into the distance, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and his tone was a little less domineering of a king, "The widow sent Zheng Zhu to Qin State to negotiate peace." Yu Qing, do you think that there is a chance of success in negotiation. Can we succeed in peace talks with Qin? ”

Yu Qing didn't answer, and pleaded: "Minister, don't dare to say it." ”

Zhao Wangdan still turned his back to him, raised his hand and said, "The widow let you speak." ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan had spoken, and had to say, so he deliberately raised his tone and said: "The minister thinks that it is impossible for Qin and Zhao to negotiate peace. ”

Zhao Wangdan's eyes changed, turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Why not?" ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan was too anxious, so he lowered his speed of speech and said calmly: "Minister, there are three points of view, and the king can listen to them." ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Say." ”

"The first point." Yu Qing weighed his words and said: "Only the Qin State has always bullied the princes, how can there be princes who bully Qin." This battle is not what we want to fight, but what the Qin State wants to fight. ”

"Not bad." King Zhao clenched his fists, anger swelled in his eyes, and said: "The widow only wants to accept the party, and does not want to start a war with the Qin State. However, the Qin State sent troops to attack me and the party, and the few people did not fight, so wouldn't the princes laugh at me. ”

Yu Qing said in a clear manner: "We don't want to fight, Qin Guo wants to fight." We sent envoys to Qin to negotiate peace, and the initiative was in the hands of Qin. ”

Zhao Wangdan thought about it, and also felt that the other party was reasonable, and asked, "What is the second point of view?" ”

Yu Qing didn't answer and asked: "We sent an envoy into Qin, and what would the King of Qin think when he learned about it." ”

Zhao Wangdan said bluntly without thinking: "King Qin will see the sincerity of the widow's peace. ”

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "The minister won't think so. ”

Zhao Wangdan said with a calm face: "You say." ”

Yu Qing didn't dodge Zhao Wangdan's sharp eyes, and said calmly: "King Qin doesn't know the details of our country, let alone our determination to resist Qin. We were invincible, so we sent envoys into Qin. The king of Qin saw that we were showing weakness and did not dare to start a war with Qin. ”

Zhao Wangdan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Show weakness? ”

Yu Qing said: "We lost the war with Qin, and the king sent envoys into Qin. The King of Qin can know our attitude. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "What attitude?" ”

Yu Qing said patiently: "King Qin will think that our attitude is either that we don't want to fight, or we don't dare to fight. ”

Zhao Wangdan shouted: "The widow is not afraid of the Qin State. ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan was angry, and he didn't follow the good words, so he continued: "The king is not afraid of the Qin State, and the King of Qin can't see it." When the king of Qin saw that the envoy of Zhao came to Qin to negotiate peace, he would think that our country could not withstand it, so he would increase his forces and start a war with us, and even escalate the war and fight a large-scale decisive battle with us. ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he was frightened, and his tone trembled: "Large-scale decisive battle? ”

Yu Qing nodded, and said with a straight face: "King Qin sees that we are weak and can be bullied, so why don't you increase your troops to attack me." Or even the death of me. The state of Qin has always wanted to send out the letter valley and compete with the princes for the world. It's a pity that with the first king and the latter there, the Qin State fought against us and did not have the upper hand. Now, they have the opportunity to compete with us, and they won't miss it. ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to Yu Qing talk about his father and mother, and anger surged inexplicably in his heart. Yu Qing's words also told him that he was inferior to the first king. Zhao Wangdan struggled to control his emotions and changed the topic: "What is the third point of view?" ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wang Dan was still able to bear it, and said: "We sent an envoy to Qin to discuss peace, and when the princes learned about it, what would they think." Minister, not to mention, with the wisdom of the king, you can also think of it. ”

Zhao Wangdan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "You mean that the princes will suspect what secret we will reach with the Qin State. ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan was half right, and added: "When the princes learn about it, they will definitely doubt our sincerity in conniving against Qin. It will even be thought that it is our country and the Qin State that have reached an agreement to attack the princes and compete for hegemony in the world. ”

Zhao Wangdan said emotionally: "The widow did not reach an agreement with the Qin State to attack the princes and compete for hegemony in the world. ”

"We know, and King Qin knows. However, the princes did not know the details. Yu Qing saw that King Zhao's mood gradually stabilized, and said: "King Qin treats our envoys well, creates momentum, and promotes the good of Qin and Zhao. Our country will be in danger and isolated by the princes. ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Wangdan looked at Yu Qing with unquestionable eyes and asked, "We will be isolated by the princes." ”

Yu Qing said with a solemn expression: "The princes saw that we were fighting and making peace with the Qin State, and they also carved up the Shangdang of Korea. How will they think. Once, we will start a large-scale war with the Qin State. The princes will not believe that we are really at war with the Qin State. We ask the princes for help, and the princes will not help us fight against Qin. ”

"If that's the case, it would be terrible." Zhao Wangdan realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "Is there a solution to this situation?" ”

Yu Qing said helplessly: "The battlefield is like a chess game, if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"The decisive battle between us and the Qin State will be staged, and it will never be avoided." Yu Qing's words were not high, but his attitude was very firm.

Zhao Wangdan said suspiciously: "Is the battle between us and the Qin State really inevitable?" ”

"We showed weakness to the Qin state, which increased the confidence of the king of Qin to defeat us. We were isolated by the princes, and diplomacy failed. The Qin State is even more fearless, and will definitely seize the opportunity to start a large-scale war with us. Yu Qing said in an accentuated tone: "Please, the king is ready to fight with the Qin State." ”

Zhao Wangdan thought about it, didn't care, and laughed: "Yu Qing, you think too much. Just Qin State, how dare you cut me. Without the help of the princes, the widows could resist Qin. The king of Qin wanted to fight, and the widow accompanied him to fight to the end. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan didn't believe in his judgment, Yu Qing didn't take Qin Guo in his eyes, and he was not ready for a big battle, so he asked in a steady tone: "Your Majesty, can you make a bet with your ministers." ”

Zhao Wangdan was very competitive, and he didn't think much about it, and asked, "What are you betting on?" ”

Yu Qing said in a calm tone: "The minister bets that we will negotiate peace with the Qin State and will fail. The state of Qin will start a large-scale war with our country. ”

Zhao Wang Dancai didn't believe that the Qin State would start a large-scale war with the Zhao State, and chuckled: "What if you lose." ”

Yu Qing hoped that Zhao Wangdan would pay attention to what he said, and said solemnly: "If the minister loses, he will have no face to face the king." The minister bets on this head, how. ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan saw that Yu Qing was gambling with his life, and he would never lose, so he said with confidence: "Your head, the widow will store it on your neck for the time being." Once, Zheng Zhu entered Qin, and sent back the news. Whoever loses and who wins will be immediately clear. ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan didn't take what he said seriously at all, and sneered: "Minister, it's decided." The current peace talks will not succeed. If the king is not ready for a big war, once the Qin State comes to attack, we will lose completely. ”

Zhao Wangdan laughed and said, "Yu Qing, the widow will let you know that you are wrong." ”

Yu Qing said in her heart: "I hope, my premonition is wrong. ”

Zhao Wangdan said the conversation, he was in a good mood, and waved his hand: "Yu Qing, go down!" Keep in mind your bet with the widow. ”

Yu Qing bowed, bowed, and retreated.

After seeing Yu Qing seeing Zhao Wangdan, the eunuch Ling looked wrong and asked, "Yu Qing, what's wrong." ”

Yu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Our king! Too young! ”

The eunuch Ling asked, "Yu Qing, where do you say this?" ”

Yu Qing said: "We have already started a war with the Qin State, and we have not decided the winner, so we can only fight with them to the end." But the king sent people to Qin to negotiate peace, didn't this clearly tell Qin that we can't win? Behold! Woe to our country is not far away. ”

When the eunuch Ling heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yu Qing, will your words be serious?" ”

Yu Qing looked at him and said with a smile: "I made a bet with the king, do you know what to bet on." ”

The eunuch Ling shook his head and said, "What are you betting with the king?" ”

"I bet that the peace will be lost." Yu Qing said again: "Do you know what my bet is." ”

The eunuch Ling shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Yu Qing pointed to his head and laughed at himself: "I'm betting on it." ”

The eunuch Ling was shocked and said, "Yu Qing, how can you gamble with your own life." ”

"We failed to negotiate peace, and the Qin State saw that we were showing weakness and being isolated by the princes, so they will definitely seize this opportunity to launch a crazy attack and fight with our whole country. Changping lost, Handan was in danger. Yu Qing laughed and said, "I can't watch the Qin State do the disaster for my country and be indifferent. It's really getting to the point where my head is useless. ”
