Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Monarch and the Minister

"King Yan is the clan of Zhou Tianzi, inherited from Zhao Gongxi, which is the origin of Yan Kingdom. Although the capital was destroyed, the bloodline was never broken. Now, although it is King Yan who voluntarily cedes the throne to Xiangbang Zizhi, it is only the words of the son, and I have never seen the letters of Yan Wang Hao and Prince Ping to my Zhao State. Although the envoy of Yan is full of sincerity, our country still can't recognize the status of the son so simply, but should make a decision after meeting Yan Wang Hao and Prince Ping. Otherwise, if he commits a traitor every day, he is called Zen Rang, then the world will be in chaos, and my Zhao country will also reap the consequences. ”

Zhao Yong looked at the envoy of Yan State, and then looked at Wei Yu with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Although the doctor is reasonable, the widow has promised the general that once King Yan really voluntarily cedes the throne to Xiangbang Zizhi, the widow will definitely support it, so don't say more about this matter." ”

Wei Yu was obviously very "unhappy", "The king misunderstood the meaning of his subordinates, and the subordinates did not mean not to admit this matter. ”

Zhao Yong asked "suspiciously": "Then what do you mean?" ”

Wei Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty means that if you can see the king of Yan, or the crown prince Ji Ping, and know what the envoy of the Yan State said, there is no doubt that my Zhao State will definitely recognize the legitimacy of the king of the son, and I should recommend it to Zhou Tianzi and canonize it." Otherwise, if it is only my Zhao State to admit this matter, firstly, it will be contrary to the sage of the Son of Heaven, and secondly, if it is difficult for other countries, my Zhao State will not be able to come up with a reason to admit it, wouldn't it be a confession? I'm afraid I'll be misunderstood. ”

When the envoy of Yan Guo heard this, his heart was sudden, he was ordered to Zhao State to inform Zhao Wang Yan Wang Chan about the matter, Zizhi said very easily, but the errand matter, not to mention that there was already a foreshadowing of the previous period of the sub-period, if it was not for the consent of Zhao State, Zizhi would not be so sure. Why is there a person named Wei Yu who pops up now and doesn't play cards according to the routine? He secretly glanced at Zhao Yong, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, and it seemed that this King Zhao was also very embarrassed.

"Envoy of the Yan Kingdom, you also heard what Mr. Wei Yu said just now. The widow thought about it, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter, and I wonder what your envoy thinks? ”

"King, this matter is not difficult, not to mention the gift of Ji Xu, you should have invited all the kings to watch the ceremony, so it was grand. It's just that this matter is quite hasty, and if it is a big deal, first, it is quite wealthy, and secondly, it also makes the former King of Yan quite embarrassed. As for the matter of the ceremonial rules and regulations of one of the former kings, they all kept the old system and did not slack off, so that the king could be completely assured of this matter. ”

"However, if I haven't seen King Yan and my Zhao State admits it, then if an old minister of Yan State rebels and opposes Xiangbang as king, then won't my Zhao State become the laughing stock of the world?"

"This...."The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was a little speechless, indeed, if it wasn't for seeing to be believing, who could believe such an unbelievable thing? But the difficulty in this matter is that Zizhi said that he was kind to Yan Wangxu and others, but in fact, Yan Wangxu and others were put under house arrest, and ordinary people were not allowed to see it. What's more, what about meeting envoys from other countries? There is no need to ask about this, and I know that it is not feasible.

Zhao Yong looked at the embarrassed appearance of the envoy of Yan Kingdom, and snickered in his heart, in fact, this situation was expected by everyone, and it was because of Yu Yu's attack this time, and Zhao Yong was acting here.

"Envoy of Yan Kingdom, is there anything difficult to do? Could it be that you and the other Xiangbang are not Zen concessions, but rebellion? Hmph, if this is the case, the widow will not only cure you and others for the crime of deception, but also send a large army to crusade against the rebellion, thinking that the king of Yan will seek justice and enrich the orthodoxy of the Yan country! Zhao Yong said, his tone was already very serious.

"Why should the king bother with each other?" The envoy of the Yan Kingdom smiled bitterly and said, "My king's arrangement is nothing more than to take into account Ji Xu's decency, if not, it will definitely be announced to the world." What's more, my king has already explained, but he has barely taken over the throne, and once the time is right, he will return the throne to Ji Hao. In that case, why bother? ”

"The widow has already said it!" Zhao Yong stood up, pointed at the envoy of King Yan and scolded: "If the name is not right, it is not good, if it is because of the estimated face of King Yan, the widow is willing to speak for the king of your family." The widow just wants to find out whether your king is usurping the throne or Zen concession, if you can't figure it out, the widow can't admit it! ”

The situation in the main hall suddenly became tense, the envoys of the Yan State were in a dilemma, Zhao Yong was aggressive, and the ministers of the Zhao State also looked at the envoys of the Yan State, as if the other party was indeed a usurper. And if the envoy of the Yan Kingdom continued to insist, Zhao Yong might expel him from the main hall immediately.

Zhao Zhang secretly looked into the hall, and seemed to feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere inside. He tugged at the doorframe and shrank his figure back. Suddenly, he felt footsteps behind him, turned his head, and saw a hand covering his mouth. He hurriedly struggled, but the person who came signaled him to whisper, and pointed to the main hall, Zhao Zhang waited until he saw the person clearly, then quieted down, took the person's hand, and said, "Mrs. Chan."

Since this year, Zhao Yong is no longer the king in China, but the king. Zhao Yong didn't care about this matter, but everyone felt that with the current atmosphere of Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo should be qualified to be the king. In the past, Zhao was called king externally, and he was called king internally, but now he must be called King Zhao. Subsequently, the title of the harem of Zhao State was also adjusted, except for the queen mother and queen, the other titles were changed to wife, concubine, concubine, and concubine. The standard of the harem of Zhao State is set as one queen, three ladies, five concubines, nine concubines, and twelve concubines. Originally, everyone hoped that Zhao Yong would set up twenty-seven women and eighty-one female queens compared to Zhou Tianzi, but they were all rejected by Zhao Yong. Even so, Zhao Yong's harem only has Han Qian and Han Chan as a queen, plus the lady of Chu who is about to marry, and six concubines, Zhao Yong still needs to work hard.

"Why did Childe come here? If the king knew about it, it would be a serious crime! Han Chan couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

"Madame, don't sue." Zhao Zhang said in a milky voice, "Zhang'er only hasn't seen his father for many days and wants to see him, so he came here." ”

Han Chan touched his head, to be honest, because she was pregnant again, Zhao Yong hadn't visited her for many days, and she was thinking about it very much. And Han Qian because of physical reasons, although she has been trained by Bian Que and has improved a lot, it is still not appropriate to have more sex. Zhao Yong also took good care of her and didn't want her to suffer from childbirth anymore. I haven't been to the harem in person for a few days. So that the whole harem is a lot more deserted, and she also knows that this harem will never be so deserted, sooner or later the new person will replace the old person, every time she thinks of this place, she can't help but feel a little sad. However, she also knew that this trend was something she couldn't avoid, in Han Qian's words, instead of waiting for Mrs. Chu to come and win the favor, it was better to personally recommend one to Zhao Yong and form an alliance. Han Qian didn't understand this, but she felt that listening to Han Qian's words, she shouldn't be wrong.

"Let's go, a little later, I'll inform Lord Fu." Han Chan'er said with a smile.

Zhao Zhang nodded helplessly, reluctantly glanced at the people in the hall, and took Han Chan'er's hand stupidly, and was about to leave.

Han Chan'er looked at Zhao Zhang, the child who was brought up by herself, also glanced at the hall, turned around and prepared to leave. Suddenly, she seemed to see a person, and a message immediately popped up in her mind, "I heard that Wu Wa, the daughter of Sima Wu Guang, can be called the first beauty in Zhao Kingdom, at a young age, she looks like a fairy descending to earth..."

"King, since the envoys of the Yan Kingdom are so embarrassed, there is a plan that may be useful." Le Yi glanced at Zhao Yong, who couldn't play anymore, and said.

"What's the plan?" Zhao Yong looked at Le Yi.

"Since Yan Guo doesn't want to make a big show and hold a ceremony to announce it to the world, and the king wants to know if Yan Wang is really a Zen position. I thought that maybe I could send a team of envoys to follow the envoys of Yan into Yan, ask the truth face to face, and then hold the handwriting of the king of Yan. As he spoke, he turned to the envoy of the Yan Kingdom and asked respectfully, "I don't know if this is okay?" ”

The envoy of the Yan State knew that although this was not the best way, it might be the only way that the Zhao State could accept. If this matter continues to be so deadlocked, I am afraid that it will still not be able to continue, and if Zhao State does not recognize the matter of the son at that time, it will also spread among the other vassal states, and the matter will be big. Just promise to come down first, and then return to the son, if you don't allow it, then make a calculation.

"Envoy of the Yan Kingdom? I don't know my plan, is it feasible? Zhao Yong asked at the right time.

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom hesitated for a while, and replied respectfully, "This matter is definitely not something that can be easily promised, but since the king has such a request, it should not be rude. I can write a letter first, inform the king of my family, and ask King Zhao to give me a few more days. ”

"Exactly."

Back at the White Tiger Palace, Zhao Yong finally couldn't help laughing: "This matter has already become eight points." ”

Everyone recalled the scene in the hall just now, and they couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom is also quite embarrassed." ”

"What are you saying for the dignity of Yan Wang, hehe, it's just Zizhi's own weak heart. I am afraid that others will see King Yan, and King Yan will regret it. Now we have to settle for the next best thing, just ask for Yan Wang's handwriting. It's just that we need to pick it up in person, not send it by Yan Guo, Zizhi shouldn't refuse. ”

Zhao Yong smiled: "As long as he agrees, things can be done." As he spoke, he turned to Le Yi, "I'm going to trouble Mr. again." ”

"It's incumbent." Le Yi raised his head and looked at Zhao Yong, "The minister must act at the opportunity, help the crown prince Ji Ping, and ignite the first fire of Yan's domestic strife." ”
