Only one day later, Wei Qi came to inform Yu Xin that the crown prince would summon Yu Xin in his dormitory. Yu Xin followed Wei Qi and entered the Wei King City. And the crown prince couldn't suppress his curiosity and waited outside his dormitory early. He very much wanted to know what kind of gifts Zhao would send him to consolidate his declining position.

"Mr. Yu Xin, it's been a long time." As soon as Yu Xin arrived outside the main hall, the prince came out early and came to greet him. This etiquette is very heavy, Yu Xin didn't dare to hold it up, and he walked in after a few excuses, and he was more and more sure in his heart that the current status of the crown prince was also in a precarious position, so the possibility of his own purpose succeeding was very high. After greeting each other, Yu Xin directly put forward his request.

"Sir, you mean, are you willing to work with Wei to deal with Korea?"

The crown prince was obviously taken aback by this news, because everyone knew that the relationship between South Korea and Zhao was much closer than that between Zhao and Wei.

"No, no, no." Yu Xin said, "King Zhao didn't mean to target South Korea. He paused, "Instead, I want to tell the prince that if Korea and Qin form an alliance, it will hurt you and me." In order to protect yourself, if you can't do something, you should make a decision immediately. ”

Although the prince is young, he is not a fool. Yu Xin's words seemed to be saying that Zhao Guo was very fair, but in fact, he still defended his own actions. However, to see the rift between Zhao and Korea, the prince was obviously very happy.

"With the relationship between South Korea and Zhao Guo, Mr. said this, and Gu was indeed caught off guard."

"There is no doubt about the prince. When the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei formed an alliance in Yecheng, they said that the three kingdoms should be one and one heart. This situation has only been around for more than a year, and the prince will not forget it. ”

"This is natural. This matter is still something promoted by Mr. Lonely, so naturally I dare not forget it. ”

"Wei and Zhao's move is just a precaution. If South Korea does not do what threatens the Triple Alliance, it will remain an ally of you and me. If they are not self-controlled, then you and I should naturally take care of each other. Yu Xinyi said righteously.

Prince Zheng and Wei Qi glanced at each other, knowing that Yu Xin was here, although his words were conclusive, but the meaning of his request was very deep. The two guessed in their hearts that this was probably related to Zhou Tianzi's desire to let Zhao Guo send troops to protect Wang Ji. The day before yesterday, the crown prince had just met Zhou Tianzi's envoy for help, and the attitude of the king of Wei on this matter was also between the two sides, and those who opposed the garrison had the upper hand, naturally because they were afraid of the retaliation of the Qin State. And the meaning between Yu Xin's words, could it be that King Zhao wants to wade into this troubled water?

"Mr. is from Handan, I don't know if you have heard that King Qin was seriously injured?" Wei Qi asked with a smile.

Yu Xin's head jumped, it turned out that the other party still didn't know the news that King Qin had died.

"I've heard a little."

"Then King Zhao thinks that if he is dealing with the Qin State at this time, is it appropriate?"

Yu Xin immediately remembered the conversation between himself and Zhao Yong that day.

"With the strength of the Qin State at this time, if you want to attack strongly, I am afraid it will not be easy, not to mention that the Qin people are united, and when they encounter foreign enemies, they will be able to share the same hatred." Zhao Yong looked at the Crane Guanzi on the sickbed, and Yu Xin, who was sitting opposite, and slowly analyzed, "Such a powerful prince, even if the three alliances of Han, Zhao and Wei, or the strength of the six countries, cannot eliminate them. ”

"What the king said seems to be inappropriate." Yu Xin received, "With the power of the Six Kingdoms, how can you not be able to defeat the Qin State?" ”

Zhao Yong smiled confidently, and this expression fell in the eyes of the Crane Guanzi, and there was more praise. Zhao Yong was able to grow from a young boy to such a mature monarch, and he lived up to what he had learned in his life.

"My brother is naïve. Why did the Six Kingdoms fail to resist Qin? The hearts of the people are not aligned, and the offensive and defensive forces are different. Those of the six countries have six hearts. Those of the Qin State are also the hearts of the Qin people. All the clouds are in the same boat, but when the disaster comes, they just take care of themselves. This is also the reason why, no matter what, the widow is unwilling to be the chief of the longitudinal covenant, nor is he willing to organize the six countries to resist Qin. ”

"Now that the King of Qin is dead, the throne has been passed on to his younger brother, and Gongzi Ji has no power. The widow felt that in the next period of time, the Qin State would fall into internal strife. In this way, a certain only needs to take advantage of the situation and keep the Qin State in chaos, and when necessary, the widow will personally participate in it and let it continue to be chaotic. ”

"Just like Yan Guo?"

Zhao Yong nodded.

"Then why do you want to provoke contradictions with Korea and Wei?"

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside." Zhao Yong said lightly, "As the widow said, the people of the six countries have six hearts, even if Han Zhao Wei is allied, they are allies, not brothers, they can't be like their arms, and they even have worries." ”

This point is still clear to Yu Xin, the three kingdoms attack each other, and it is rare to have a long truce between them, which is not unreasonable for Zhao Yong's worries.

"Although the widow does not have absolute confidence, when Qin's civil strife occurs, he can make Han Wei bow his head. But at least South Korea must be firmly controlled. ”

"Why not the State of Wei?"

"Qi Guo has always been a problem in the hearts of widows." Zhao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "So when you leave the Wei Kingdom, you have to go to the Qi Kingdom immediately." ”

"Qi Guo?" Yu Xin was really stunned by Zhao Yong this time, and he didn't know what he meant.

"If the Qi State can sit idly by, the widow is willing to make some concessions in the affairs of the Yan Kingdom." Zhao Yong solemnly said to Yu Xin that this could be regarded as a promise of his, "including the withdrawal of troops from Yan State." ”

Therefore, Yu Xin knew that the affairs of the Qin State must not be interfered with by the Wei State, at least not for now. He cheered up and looked at the prince.

At the same time, Zhao Cheng, who had been running for several days, also arrived at Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. He did not encounter any obstacles, and it can also be said that the relationship between Zhao and South Korea has become so close that there is no need to report, so that Zhao Cheng met King Han without hindrance.

"Sikong came all the way from Handan, thinking that there was something important to discuss." King Han was not polite to Zhao Cheng, and went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

The Han and Zhao coalition forces did not defeat the Qin army, but the Han army was almost wiped out, and the Zhao State did not suffer much losses, which made the Han king a little angry, on the one hand, he was angry that the Han army himself was not angry, and on the other hand, he also complained that the Zhao army did not work. Of course, the latter point is purely a bone in the egg.

The most important thing is that King Han also knew the news of King Qin's serious injury, and even Zhao Guo promised King Zhou to garrison troops to Zhou Wangji, he also knew something. This made King Han very angry. No matter how Zhou Wangji said it, it was within his own territory, and Zhao Guo was ready to station troops on his own land without saying hello, no matter how he said it, it was a loss of face for South Korea, and King Han couldn't swallow this breath.

"The old man came to Xinzheng for the sake of the good of the two countries for generations." Zhao Cheng could feel the unkindness in King Han's tone.

"Good for generations?" King Han squinted, obviously reserved about Zhao Cheng's words.

"Nature is good for generations." Zhao Cheng explained Zhao Yong's preparation for marriage with Korea to King Han in detail. Sure enough, Zhao Cheng's intention made everyone in the hall fall into deep thought, and also made King Han fall into thought.

"Sikong is the uncle of King Zhao, he is highly respected, and he is a person who is respected by few people." King Han said, "However, the widow recently heard that King Zhao wants to send troops to Zhou Wangji to help King Zhou resist Qin, I wonder if this is true?" ”

Zhao Cheng groaned, "This is indeed the case." ”

"Humph!" Before King Han could change his face, Gong Zhongxuan next to Zhao Cheng changed his face first. "Although Zhou Wangji is not my Korean land, it is within my Korean land. There are also two countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is enough to defend Wangji. Why bother Zhao Jun to travel thousands of miles to keep the Son of Heaven peaceful? ”

After Gong Zhong finished speaking, the scolding of Zhao Guo in the hall was everywhere, and even Zhang Ping's officials who were close to Zhao Guo did not dare to object, and even echoed it.

Since Zhao Cheng has experienced too many winds and waves, he is naturally used to this kind of scene. He stood there without moving, just cold-eyed, not thinking about such an action, but instead subjected him to more attacks.

"Sikong must have seen it." Han Wangcang said coldly, "It's not that I, South Korea, don't want to do this, but some of Zhao's behaviors have made it impossible for the widow's subjects to sit idly by." If Zhao really wants to continue to form an alliance with South Korea, then about the matter of garrisoning Wangji, please think twice. ”

When Zhao Cheng heard this, he only bowed back to Han Wangcang slightly, and then looked at everyone, his expression suddenly changed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why my king sent troops to Wangji was not for personal gain, but for the order of Zhou Tianzi. It is the duty of princes to obey the mandate of heaven. I don't know if my Zhao State sent troops to Wang Ji, what is the crime? ”

"You are both ministers of Korea and courtiers of Zhou Tianzi, if the Son of Heaven has an order, will you all stand by and watch?"

"The reason why Zhou Tianzi recruited Zhao was because Korea had newly defeated Qin, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he ordered a rescue to King Zhao. If Korea was still able to resist Qin, how could Zhao travel thousands of miles to Wangji? ”

"Zhao and South Korea are interdependent, and they have intersected for generations, if there is a disagreement because of this, I am afraid that Zhao and South Korea are not the best policy."

Zhao Cheng's words are reasonable, but he leaves truth everywhere.

"Sikong has an order from Zhou Tianzi, could it be that he really thinks like this in his heart?" Gong Zhong sneered. Everyone knows that the so-called Zhou Tianzi is nothing more than a fig leaf, anyone can use it, as long as you need to cover your shame.

"Don't Lord Xiangbang take Zhou Tianzi's order in his eyes?" Zhao Cheng shot back sharply. Indeed, no one dares to answer this question.

Gong Zhong gave up the struggle with Zhao Cheng in this matter, "In any case, Zhao must not garrison Wang Ji, otherwise, South Korea will definitely not sit idly by!" ”

Zhao Cheng groaned slightly, and said cautiously to Han Wangcang: "I can't make the decision in this matter, and I ask the king to let me ask for instructions before making a decision." ”

"Good." Han Wangcang nodded.
