"Mr. Zhang has won the prize. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Shi Zhan smiled politely, and said, "Lord Zhang, how about we talk about the big tent?" ”

"But according to the orders of the Hou Ye."

"Lord Zhang, please ......"

"Master Hou, please ......"

Zhang Bao followed Shi Zhan into the big tent, and an attendant brought a pot of tea to fill Shi Zhan, Zhang Bao and others. Shi Zhan pinched the teacup and said to Zhang Bao: "Lord Zhang, the army is bitter, no better than your Shangshu Mansion, a cup of coarse tea, I hope you don't mind!" ”

"Hou Ye is serious, and the lower officials are not extravagant people, and they are very accustomed to coarse tea and light rice." Zhang Bao said, first took a sip of tea, then frowned slightly, but then smiled again.

"Master Zhang, are you not used to drinking this tea?" Shi Zhan saw the change in Zhang Bao's expression and asked.

"I have heard the breeze on the sleeves of the Hou Ye, the high wind and the bright festival, I never thought that even the tea I drank was such an ordinary old tea, the Hou Ye had such a temperament, which really made the lower officials admire."

"The slightest bit of the emperor's grace, Shi Zhan doesn't dare to spoil it." Shi Zhan smiled, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and asked, "Master Zhang, you and I have been in the same dynasty for decades, this seems to be the first time we have met in private, right?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Master Hou has been leading troops outside all the year round, and the officials can't see you on weekdays." ”

"In this case, Lord Zhang will open the skylight and say something bright, if you visit my acre and three points of land today, you must have some advice, right?" Shi Zhan's eyes were like torches, looking at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled again and said: "Master Hou, how dare the lower officials give you any advice, you are polite......"

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he looked at Shi Zhan, and Shi Zhan looked at him calmly and did not respond, as if waiting for Zhang Bao to finish speaking.

As soon as Zhang Bao's words stopped, the entire tent suddenly fell silent, Shi Min and others were also looking at Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just some things in the court, I want to hear the opinion of the Hou Ye."

"Oh? Thanks to Lord Zhang, Shi Zhan is just a martial artist, he doesn't understand government politics, and he doesn't know what Lord Zhang is talking about? ”

Zhang Bao naturally understood what Shi Zhan meant, and said with a slight smile: "Hou Ye Wen Taowu is a martial artist, I must have heard the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. ”

"Shi Zhan naturally knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, but he doesn't know what Master Zhang is referring to."

"Xia Guan has always felt a little puzzled, Hou Ye is in a high position, leading the elite division of Zhao State, but he doesn't seem to have thought about it for himself and his son."

"Lord Zhang's words seem to be going farther and farther."

"No, no, no." Zhang Bao shook his head and said: "The matter of establishing the prince, Hou Ye has not clearly stated his position so far, I don't know what Hou Ye is planning?" ”

"I have already said that Shi Zhan is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand the affairs of the court, he only knows the Lu of eating the king and the worries of the king."

"What a good eater, bear the worries of the king! Then I don't know if the loyal majesty of the Hou Ye is still Zhao Guo? ”

"What does Master Zhang mean by that? Ben Hou is loyal to both His Majesty and Zhao State. Shi Zhan said with a frown.

"With all due respect, since this is the case, Lichu is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, why does Lord Hou keep showing that it is not about himself?"

"As I just said, we are all military generals, as soldiers, we only know how to obey orders, and without Your Majesty's will, how can we be arrogant as courtiers? Lord Zhang, we still have to do our own duties, and we can share your Majesty's worries well. ”

"Since it is to share the worries of His Majesty, the Xihua Marquis Mansion is deeply favored by the emperor, don't you know that Your Majesty is now difficult to choose about the matter of the prince?" Zhang Bao was not ambiguous, and every word made Shi Zhan unable to avoid it.

At this time, Li Chang couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Zhang, I don't understand the big truths you said, I know that what Your Majesty says is what it is, and we have no right to ask." ”

"General Li is a cheerful man and speaks straightforwardly. However, the Hou Ye also said just now, the food of the king, the worry of the king. Since we wear this court dress, we should do our best for the Jiangshan Society of Zhao State! Who will pass on the throne in the future is naturally something that our courtiers should care about. If His Majesty is deceived by the villain, and it is passed on to King Qing, with the violence of King Qing, how can the people of the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment? ”

"Lord Zhang, having said this, it is already very clear, you just want me to support His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Ming people don't say secret words, that's what the lower officials mean." Zhang Bao bowed slightly to Shi Zhan and said: "As long as Hou Ye has the power of the army, if King Qing wants to take the throne, it will be in vain, but the premise is whether Hou Ye can stand in the position of Yan Wangfu?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan has already talked to me about this matter, and I have also made my position clear, if someone does not follow His Majesty's will and intends to raise an army to seize the throne, I will definitely not sit idly by."

"What Hou Ye means, the lower officials already understand. However, yesterday, His Majesty had already decreed that the marriage would be granted, and the Xihua Mansion and the Yan Mansion would marry Qin and Jin, so the Hou Ye would not watch the Yan Mansion be subject to the Qing Palace, right? ”

"Subject to the Qingwang Mansion? Mr. Zhang is exaggerating, right? ”

"What Zhang said is naturally reasonable."

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

"The things on Wolong Mountain, I think you all know something, Master Hou thinks, with His Royal Highness King Yan, can he do such a despicable thing?" Zhang Bao asked.

Shi Zhan, Shi Min and the others looked at each other for a moment, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Yan is simple by nature, and he will not do such indiscriminate things. ”

"It seems that Hou Ye also sees this matter clearly, but someone deliberately planted the blame and poured sewage on His Royal Highness King Yan, saying that it was done by King Yan's mansion. King Qing's Mansion will do whatever it takes to save the throne, and with the generosity of His Royal Highness King Yan, how can it withstand such a conspiracy? ”

"I'm afraid I can't interfere in such things, right?"

"What Hou Ye said is right, but now that the Qingwang Mansion has made a move, how can the Yan Wangfu sit idly by? His Royal Highness King Yan is benevolent and does not want brothers to kill each other, but self-preservation is human nature, so this is why Hou Ye needs to be able to say a few words for His Royal Highness King Yan at a critical moment, that's all! ”

"Right and wrong, Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is dictatorial, and you will not wronged anyone, let alone favor anyone, Lord Zhang does not need to worry."

"It seems that Hou Ye still doesn't understand the reason why his lips are cold and his teeth are cold!" Zhang Bao shook his head and sighed.

"Lord Zhang, you must know that I have the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in my hands, and I don't want to involve the soldiers in the affairs of the court.

"Hou Ye loves soldiers like sons, Zhang admires, but Hou Ye should know that King Qing has always been at odds with you, if King Qing is allowed to win the world, then where should these tens of thousands of soldiers under you stay? Shouldn't Hou Ye think about this question? ”

Zhang Bao's words really stung Shi Zhan, and Shi Zhan didn't know how to answer for a while.

At that time, Qin Prime Minister Li Si was worried that Gongzi Fusu's succession to the throne would be unfavorable to him, so he chose to go along with Zhao Gao, tampered with the edict, and established Hu Hai as the emperor. Li Si is still like this for his own benefit, and Hou Ye has the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, shouldn't he think about how he should choose? Zhang Bao paused, and then said: "In addition, Hou Ye cares about the Han people in the Central Plains, and King Qing has always regarded the Han people as cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, which is also one of the reasons why he and Hou Ye have been incompatible for many years. In contrast, His Royal Highness King Yan's attitude towards the Han people was very different from that of King Qing. His Royal Highness King Yan is kind-hearted, advocates benevolent governance, does not bind the Han people with strict criminal laws, and treats the people of the Qiang nationality equally. Xia Guan thinks that this is also what Hou Ye wants to see the most, right? ”

Zhang Bao's gushing remarks touched Shi Zhan's heart. And Shi Min didn't have Shi Zhan's permission, so naturally he wouldn't talk easily, just listened quietly on the side.

"Master Hou, with your current prestige and power, you are already on the cusp of the Zhao Kingdom, no matter what you plan, you can't stay out of the matter, let alone be alone. What Xia Guan said today is from the bottom of his heart, firstly, for the consideration of the country's Jiangshan Sheji, secondly, for His Royal Highness King Yan to open his mouth to make friends with the Xihua Marquis Mansion, and thirdly, it is also for the future consideration of the Hou Ye and the son. ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he quietly looked at Shi Zhan and the others to see how they reacted.
