The first challenge faced by the new monarch of Zhao was the letter of state handed to Zhao by the ambassador sent by Wei Houfu. The letter of Wei not only expressed his admiration for the deceased Marquis of Zhao Su, but also expressed his congratulations to the new monarch, and hoped that Wei and Zhao could resolve their grievances and coexist peacefully. In the last column of the national letter, Wei Hou's poppy revealed his true colors, and he made a request to Zhao Guo. Wei was willing to send 10,000 men to attend the funeral. Wei Hou's letter of state is sincere and unruly. If it were an ordinary person, he would have decided to believe that Wei Hou had released friendly kindness.

It is precisely because Wei Guo took the initiative to put down his posture that Zhao Guoxiang's son Leopard was unpredictable. It stands to reason that when the ancestor died, it should have been normal for the vassal states to send people to comfort the king's soul. Zhou Tianyong, and did not see the princes send 10,000 people to pay respects. Unless, the princes have something in mind. Zhao Baolian read the national book of Wei several times, and it was better not to read it, and at first glance, he felt that there were many articles in the national book. In addition, Ambassador Wei lowered his posture, bowed his body, and waited for a reply. Zhao Bao Mingrui's nose smelled the smell of war.

Zhao Bao thought that it was a matter of national system, and did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he chose a day to inform the ambassador of Wei with a letter of state, so as to observe how the other party would react. Ambassador Wei smiled and did not force the other party to make a decision. And don't say much, so as not to spoil the big thing. simply give the other party time and let him figure it out for himself.

Zhao Bao didn't get useful information from the other party's mouth, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This ambassador really can't be underestimated." ”

In order not to disturb the other party, Wei Envoy bowed down and retreated.

After the Wei envoy retreated, Xiangbang Zhao Bao took the letter of state handed by Wei and immediately entered the palace and reported the matter to the new Junyong. Seeing that the matter was serious, the new monarch invited the important ministers to discuss together. After a short time, the ministers of Zhao State rushed in. The ministers are divided into two columns, left and right, and kneel in turn. Zhao Bao is the head of the ministers, and the first position is naturally occupied by him.

Zhao Bao saluted to Zhao Jun, who was sitting high, and held up the national letter of Wei with both hands, "Your Majesty, Wei Hou Poppy (although Wei Poppy has been called king, but Zhao Guoren has not recognized it), ask 10,000 people to come to Zhao to comfort the first monarch, the minister does not dare to make decisions without authorization, please make a decision." ”

Although Zhao Yong is young, he knows the way to be a king. A monarch who is anxious to take a stand before the situation is clear is not a good monarch. At this moment, the suspicious person in the center of the temple was also quietly waiting, even expecting the young monarch to make a fatal mistake. In the face of the letter of the State of Wei, the new Junyong and the ministers of the State of Zhao held a debate. The content of the debate: how should Zhao reply to Wei's credentials?

The important ministers of the clan, who are mainly the sons of the great priest, believe that they should be soft. They believe that the first monarch has just mourned, and the new monarch is young. At present, Zhao State cannot stimulate Wei State to prevent Wei people from sending troops and disrupting our country. If Wei asks for anything, try to agree to them. As long as the appetite of the Wei people is satisfied, the Wei people will not be unable to get along with the Zhao State. The conditions offered by the Wei people, he was confident that Zhao Guo could afford it.

Gongsun Pu, Fei Yi, Li Dui and others believe that the new monarch of Zhao Guojun is young, and when the first monarch just left, he came here to write a national letter, obviously hiding a conspiracy. In particular, the 10,000 people mentioned in the national letter are obviously harboring evil intentions. These 10,000 people are ostensibly sacrificing ancestors, but in fact they are also an army of Tu Zhao. Regardless of whether Zhao Guo replied to the letter of state with rigidity or softness. The Wei State took the opportunity to send troops to the Zhao State. Rather than soft, it is better to be rigid. In this way, even if the Wei people conquered the Zhao State, they still had worries. Besides, in the world of great controversy, the Wei people want to destroy the Zhao State with the power of one country, which is simply a dream.

Just when the two factions were fighting for each other, everyone's eyes converged on Zhao Yong alone. Zhao Yong knew in his heart that no matter which party's opinion he supported, it would always hurt the heart of the other party. In this way, the relationship between the monarch and the minister of Zhao is like fire and water. He asked himself what he should do if his father was still alive. However, the current situation did not allow him much time to think.

Zhao Yong turned his deep gaze to Xiangbang Zhao Bao and asked, "Father Jun often said that the children of the clan are the most virtuous. If it is difficult to make a decision on the major affairs of the state, you need to consult the state. Today, Wei sent a letter, how should I reply to it, and ask Xiangbang to teach me. ”

Zhao Bao's cheeks trembled, and his sharp nose already smelled hostility from different directions. He has been the prime minister of Zhao for many years and is a wise man. Zhao Houyu is still there, and he often asks him for advice on how to govern the country. His advice is always adopted and used in the governance of the country.

Zhao Yu also often said: The children of the clan are the most virtuous.

With his eyes, he glanced at the sitting king. As a prime minister, he could have made his own decisions on the letter of state of Wei. He informed the king of the letter of state, just so as not to wade into troubled waters. After thinking about it again, he decided to kick the ball to the king and let him decide. Zhao Yong learned and listened to his opinion first. Then, gather the ministers to discuss together. The ball was kicked back and forth and kicked back to him. Zhao Leopard sighed: Jun Shang is young, but it is not simple.

The two factions have their own opinions, and their opinions are reasonable. Zhao Bao made a decision in a short period of time, which was quite difficult. What's more, for children who have just entered and exited the court, are not politically deep, and are only fifteen years old. If the choice is wrong, it will bring disaster to the Zhao State. No one can afford to pay this responsibility. Thinking of it, Xin Junyong can still maintain his composure in such a complicated situation, and he has the way to be a king.

After weighing the pros and cons for a short time, Zhao Bao had to make a choice, raised his head and said: "Back to the monarch, the ministers think that the ministers are reasonable. Right now, Zhao Guo is in an eventful season, and if he can avoid it, he will be exempted. The Wei people sent me the first monarch with 10,000 people, and I must be inspired by the virtue and righteousness of the first monarch. If we reject the kindness of the Wei people with strong words, we will anger the Wei people. The minister thinks that it should be soft. ”

Zhao Bao chose to stand on the side of the clan, which was obviously the result of careful consideration. Zhao Guoguo cannot lack the support of the children of the clan. Even if you chill the hearts of Fei Yi and others, you can't make yourself an enemy of the clan.

The clan is intertwined, and its power is incomparably great.

The people of the clan, seeing that Xiangbang was also on their side, all smiled at each other. Although the opinions of the people of Fei Yi and Li Dui were not adopted by Xinjun, they could not see that there was displeasure on their faces. For them, it is the duty of the courtiers to distinguish between the pros and cons. Whether or not their remarks are valued and adopted by the monarch is another matter.

"What Xiang Bang said is very true." Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and continued: "Please also ask Xiangbang to work hard and personally deal with this matter." ”

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "Oh." ”

The next day, before it was dark, Ambassador Wei was waiting at Xiangbang's mansion very early. The servant of the mansion had already reported the matter. Zhao Bao pondered for a while, and said in his heart: "The Wei envoy came really early. "As the minister of a country, if he raises the shelf, let the ambassador of the country wait! If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will end up with the 'good name' of snubbing the ambassadors of other countries. Zhao Bao cherishes his reputation the most. So, he tidied up his clothes and came out, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Ambassador, you got up really early." ”

Wei Envoy returned the salute, "I have something in my heart, I don't dare to sleep." ”

Zhao Bao knew what he meant, and took out a pair of bamboo slips from his long sleeves, "Now you can sleep in peace!" ”

Wei Envoy stretched out his hands, took the bamboo slip humbly, and said in a daze: "Xiangbang, what is Zhao Jun's opinion?" ”

"Zhao Jun, agreed to Wei Hou's request."

Wei Envoy was secretly happy, bowed down and thanked: "There is hard work for Lao Xiangbang. ”

"We are all doing things for the king, how can we be bitter." Zhao Bao, holding Wei Envoy's hand, "Wei Envoy, why don't you go in and have a few drinks with me." ”

"Xiangbang's kindness, I understand it." Wei envoy, with a wave of his big hand, two soldiers behind him carried out a box. Wei opened it, pointed to the contents of the box and said, "I am about to return to China and inform King Wei of this matter." He gets together every day, and then gets drunk with Xiangbang. This is a little bit of a thing, and I invite Xiangbang to drink. ”

Zhao Bao didn't look at what was in the box, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to carry the box down, and the opponent Wei said: "If Wei makes something happen, I won't keep it much." ”

"Farewell."

After the Wei envoy left, Zhao Bao said to the servant: "Load the box into the carriage, I want to enter the palace." ”

The servant was puzzled and asked, "My lord, this is the Wei envoy who left to honor you." ”

"As the minister of a country, I still lack this thing."

When the Wei envoy got the letter of reply from Zhao, he left Handan, and quickly sent Zhao Shu back to the palace of Wei. Wei Wang Poppy glanced at the national letter and laughed loudly: "Doctor Ji, you are worthy of being my outstanding ambassador of Great Wei." ”

Doctor Ji said: "It is a blessing for a minister to be able to serve the king. ”

King Wei Dayue, reward a thousand gold.

The heir of Prince Wei congratulated: "My father is so happy, it must be that Zhao Jun has agreed to the conditions proposed by our country. ”

King Wei nodded, and his eyes were quite appreciative.

Hui Shi said: "King, can you pass the letter to the minister to read?" ”

The king of Wei handed the letter to the eunuch beside him and ordered him to pass it on. When Hui Shi saw this text, his heart was overjoyed. King Wei said with a smile: "Prime Minister, do you see anything." ”

Hui Shi passed the letter to the other ministers, "When General Gongsun was leaving, he said: Zhao Guo replied with strong words, and the matter of sending troops is suspended. Zhao Guo returned to it with softness, and Zhao was feasible. ”

"General Gongsun, he is really a talent." King Wei, with a happy face, "I can even think of using a letter to test the weakness of Zhao State." Lonely thought that Zhao Ren had a strong temperament, and he had such a soft attitude, which was also unexpected by the lonely family. General Gongsun sent an envoy to the country of Qi for some time. I don't know, whether General Gongsun can say that he can move Wang Tian Yinqi of Qi and plot Zhao with the widows. ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, General Gongsun is out, and this matter can be done." Hui Shi said: "It's not just Qi that responds. The states of Qin, Chu, and Yan will also join us in Tu Zhao. ”

"That's really good news." After reading the letter, Prince Wei said generously: "Father, the Zhao people show weakness to my Great Wei. It seems that the Zhao people are afraid of our country. With the help of the other four countries, Zhao Guo will not be destroyed. ”

Hui Shi said: "Your Majesty, we have found out the truth of Zhao State, and the next step explained by General Gongsun can be implemented." ”

Wei Pop nodded and said, "Choose the strong man and hand it over to Wu'er and Xiangguo." ”

The crown prince and Hui Shi looked at each other and said in unison: "Huh." ”

Wei Poppy got up, faced the palace gate, and said, "Lonely, I played this game of chess for Zhao Guo." How should the Zhao people respond? ”
