"Zhongshan is to Zhao, and the henchman is troubled. Without Zhongshan, Zhao would not be strong. Handan, the land of the four wars, has Qiang Qin in the west, has Hexi, overlooks the Central Plains, Zhao State bears the brunt, must be guarded; Qi country in the east, looking at Gaotang, heavy troops are entrenched, and someone must be stationed to hold this place. Wu Guang said with a deep groan.

"In addition, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are all things of accumulation. Nowadays, wars are still frequent, and the people's military service is serious, so it is really not appropriate to start a military provocation lightly. As far as I can see, even if we really want to attack Zhongshan, we should not rush it. As a prime minister, Zhao Bao's main concern is naturally logistics.

"Therefore, what Zhao has to do at this time is to hand over foreign affairs, especially the surrounding countries, such as Qin, Wei, Yan, and Qi, although they will not form an alliance, it is enough to ask for no war." Fei Yi concluded.

"Also, in the place where the building is troublesome, you must also be prepared for defense. Hu people are wild, if they are allowed to develop, just like the righteous canal to the Qin State, sooner or later it will become a huge problem. Because of the success of Lou Xuan's annoyance, and in the previous dialogue, he was deeply trusted by Zhao Yong, and after consulting Feiyi's opinion, he was promoted to Shangqing and became a new core member.

Zhao Yong listened to the opinions of a few people, blessed his heart, and said: "All in all, the last three words of the six words, 'build a high wall and accumulate grain'" are not used for the time being.

"Your Majesty!"

The next day, Zhao Yong's enthronement ceremony was held in the main hall of Zhao Wangcheng. The important officials and guards of the Zhao State were all ordered to meet and worship the new king.

The civil officials are headed by Zhao Bao, followed by Fu Feiyi, Neishi, Si Kou, left and right colonels, pedestrians, lieutenants, left and right Si Guo and others, which is also the civil official system of Zhao headed by Xiangguo.

The military attache should be headed by a general, but Zhao Yong thought twice about it, and did not set up a general for the time being, with Wu Guang as the national lieutenant, and temporarily took charge of the military of Zhao State, under which there were generals Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Thirst and Zhao Yu, as well as Lian Wu, Li Shan, Li Yan and other lieutenants in the column.

It is worth noting that among the senior generals, most of them are the children of the Zhao family, and Pang Cong, as the only foreign general, is particularly prominent. But among the middle and lower-level officers, most of them are people with foreign surnames or non-Zhao.

Zhao Yong once consulted Que Guanzi on this issue, and Que Guanzi once said that originally the Seven Kingdoms competed for power, and most of the generals and generals of many countries belonged to the people of the clan, because these people would not rebel; However, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, although the entire Qin State was also dominated by clans in military affairs, many non-Qin people also joined the ranks of high-ranking generals, the most prominent example being Sima Cuo. It is undeniable that the strength of the Qin State is largely related to their employment system.

But the current Zhao Yong is not yet in power, and he is almost powerless to change the current situation, so he can only let this situation continue.

Before the military generals of Wenchen, they were the King of Wei and the heirs of the Prince of Wei, the King of Han Xuanhui and the Prince Cang, and the envoys of the Zhongshan Kingdom. Because the other party came to watch the ceremony, not to see him, he came to the palace early, and he was below Zhao Yongji's case. However, everyone can see that King Wei's face is not ordinarily ugly.

On the top of the main hall, the king of Wei and the king of Han sat together, which was a must. In the same way, their subordinates, the crown prince and the prince also sat in plain arms, and there was no problem. However, after the crown prince's heir, there was a Zhongshan envoy, although it was not unreasonable, but the grievances between the two could not be clearly explained in one sentence or two.

In that year, Wei invaded Zhongshan, Wei led Le Yang to besiege the capital of Zhongshan State, and Zhongshan Huan Gong in order to express his determination to resist to the death, killed Le Yang's son Le Shu in Zhongshan and made meat soup for Le Yang. Le Yang is obviously not a good type, and in front of the Zhongshan envoy, he drank the broth and expressed his resentment towards Zhongshan.

Later, Zhongshan was destroyed by Leyang and had to flee into the Taihang Mountains in order to restore the country. It can be regarded as the foundation of the country, which made the restoration of Zhongshan successful, and became a big trouble for Zhao Guo. But compared with Zhao State, the enmity with Wei State is even more incompatible. This brother who arranges the seating is definitely the master who likes to watch the excitement. Otherwise, the heirs of Prince Wei and the envoys of Zhongshan would not look at each other unpleasantly, and they were about to fight.

Just when Wei and Zhongshan were looking at it unpleasantly, the drums outside the hall sounded in unison, and bursts of singing sounded outside the door: I will enjoy me, Wei Yang Wei Niu, Wei Tian is right. The ritual of the king of the penal text, the Quartet. King Ivan, both right-handed. I have been dreaming of the night, fearing the power of the sky, and protecting it at the time.

At this time, Zhao Yong appeared at the door of the main hall wearing a crown dress with seven chapters of patterns, wearing a red shirt and a seven jade crown symbolizing the princes, followed by the eunuch Zhexi, that is, the eunuch chief of the palace, and the newly appointed black-clothed guard chief Zhao Guang, the two of them left and right, bowed behind Zhao Yong.

When everyone saw Zhao Yong appear, they saluted one after another. Zhao Bao and Wu Guang took the lead, and Zhao Guo's civil and military forces bowed one after another, which was a tribute to the supreme monarch; The King of Wei, the King of Han and others waited for Zhao Yong to come to them, and then returned the salute. Then Zhao Yong knelt on the seat after a few cases under the leadership of Xi.

After this set of processes, Zhao Yong walked tremblingly, lest something go wrong. The joy behind him also followed him, and he was trembling when he walked, lest Zhao Yongxing make a mistake and lose his etiquette. On top of this hall, there are foreign envoys!

Next, Zhao Bao read out the appointment and dismissal order on behalf of Zhao Yong, in fact, there is no big difference from when Zhao Suhou was in power, except that Lou Huan became Shangqing and Fei Yi served as Fu, almost all of them were in their positions.

After the tedious etiquette, the preparation of the banquet begins. Let's not talk about how monotonous and boring the recipe at this time is, let's just say that the wine is in front and the beauty is in the back, and he can't resist that he now wants to see the ugly faces of Prince Wei and the Zhongshan envoy. He felt that Fu Ding was really a wonderful person, and sure enough, he put the two of them together.

King Wei didn't have anything, and even smiled at King Han opposite. And the crown prince sitting next to him was different. He pushed the cup and changed the cup with the Korean prince opposite him, and put more on the envoy of Zhongshan Kingdom beside him. Suddenly, he saw that the envoy of Zhongshan was about to drink, and he had an idea, and said; "Wait, messenger, I have a question for you."

The messenger of Zhongshan had already raised the wine to his lips and was about to drink it, but as soon as he stopped it, he shook his hand, and the wine spilled right on the sleeve of his shirt. He didn't frown, just scolded. But thinking that the other party was Wei Guo or the crown prince, he would definitely not give up if he was reprimanded like this, so he suppressed his anger and said politely: "Don't dare to advise, you should discuss it with the prince." ”

The crown prince obviously ignored his attitude, and said: "Gu Zeng heard that the Duke of Qi Zhuang once went out hunting in a car, and suddenly saw a small insect on the side of the road, stretching out two arm-like front legs, trying to block the advancing wheels. Zhuang Gong asked the driver: 'What kind of worm is this?' The driver replied, 'This is the so-called praying mantis.' It's a worm, and then I don't know it, and I don't measure it and underestimate the enemy'" After speaking, the prince smiled slightly, and said as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, "What does the envoy think, how is this praying mantis." ”

When the people around heard the prince's heir finish speaking, they all smiled, and they all knew that this was the prince's heir's mockery that Zhongshan Guo was a praying mantis, and he couldn't do anything about it, although Zhao Guo arranged it like this, but he was also calm and well-deserved.

The Zhongshan envoy was not a fool, of course he could hear what the prince meant, and he said with an indignant face, "Does the prince know, what did the Duke of Qi Zhuang say later?" ”

"How?" The crown prince was slightly stunned, could it be that there is a second half of this story?

"Hmph," the envoy waved his sleeves and said calmly, "Zhuang Gong said: 'This is for people, and it will be brave for the world.'" 'Get back and avoid it. It can be seen that Zhuang Gong is also very appreciative of this praying mantis. I don't know if there is any truth in what I said below. ”

"Uh," the prince didn't expect that this story hadn't been finished yet, he had only heard the first half, and he was annoyed for a while, and said angrily: "Although it is reasonable, but the praying mantis is the praying mantis, and if you want to resist the power of the carriage with your own strength, it is purely looking for death." At this point, the language is threatening.

"The praying mantis is small, but it is very brave. Don't be afraid of the car, not afraid of death, imagine that the praying mantis is small, but if there are millions of praying mantises, can you shake the car? ”

"Praying mantis is a praying mantis, although there are tens of thousands, they may not be able to resist the carriage passing by. Did the ambassador forget that when the Wei soldiers besieged Zhongshan, Zhongshan claimed to have fought to the death, and as a result, he was defeated and entered the Taihang Mountains. Isn't it just a mantis arm as a car, ridiculous and self-conscious? ”

"You!" The Zhongshan envoy pointed at the prince's heir angrily, looking at him laughing arrogantly, the two families are feuding, the Zhongshan envoy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the prince's heir is also a stunned young man.

Zhao Yong and Fei Yi glanced at each other and smiled slightly, but they didn't intend to stop it. For a while, the whole feast was attracted by this noise.
