Chapter 146: Within the Xiao Wall
When Yu Xin walked into the main hall of the Longtai Palace of King Zhao, he saw Zhao Wangdan standing proudly on a wide sheepskin map and pointing......
"From Yishui to Huangshui, the land of these two hundred miles was originally the land of Xianyu Zhongshan, and the first grandfather Wuling King Zhongshan sacrificed his land and surrendered, and since then this place has become the territory of Zhao State. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info five years of the first king, in order to reconcile with the Yan country, this will be the south of Yishui, Zhongyang and other five cities to the Yan country, now since the Yan country does not miss the two countries of the good in-laws, three generations of friendship, the widow has to take back this area! ”
After completing the map and opening the territory, Zhao Wangdan seemed to be very proud, and Zhao Mu, a favorite minister who looked like a beautiful woman, also followed his wishes, lay on the ground, and marked the five cities pointed to by Zhao Wangdan with a red pen, and said flatteringly: "The king should drink Ma Yi water, and the soldiers will come to the capital of Yan Kingdom, and let King Yan come to ......the court."
"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!" As soon as Zhao Wangdan was happy, he promised: "After the army returns victoriously from sweeping the Yan Kingdom, I will pick a rich township in those newly opened territories to reward you, and let you also be a feudal king!" ”
"The king, how can the minister be so virtuous, let the king love ...... so much"
This Zhao Mu is Zhao Wang Dan's special favorite**, although he is still dressed as a man, but he is full of women's charm, and his eyes are like autumn water and the moon, as if he was moved by Zhao Wang's words, the two of them looked at each other, and their hands and eyes were about to be pulled together......
Yu Xin, who was standing at the door, secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward, coughed violently, and planned the affectionate pulse of the two: "Minister Yu Xin to meet the king!" ”
Zhao Wangdan was annoyed that who had ruined his good deeds, and when he saw that it was Yu Xin, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he ignored Zhao Mu, and walked over a few steps to return the salute to Yu Xin: "Didn't the widow say that the doctor doesn't have to bow down to the counselor?" ”
"How dare you ruin the courtesy of the monarch and the minister...... Yu Xin has become accustomed to the ambiguous behavior between Zhao Wangdan and Zhao Mu, and he also understands that Zhao Wangdan is not a perfect Ming monarch, but he is still a material that can be made, at least he treats himself like a countryman, but whenever there is advice, he will obey it, in this case, he should also be loyal and repayable.
As for the little dirtiness between him and Zhao Mu, Yu Xin didn't see it, when Confucius was defending the country, in the face of the ambiguous intimacy between Wei Linggong and Mi Zibian, didn't he also think that it was a personal habit of the monarch, as long as the righteousness was not lost and did not affect state affairs? Although he has the same male style, Zhao Wangdan is much better than Wei Wangyu of their Wei State, at least he has not let Zhao Mu hold real power.
But the so-called feudal matter, Yu Xin felt that he had to stop it, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar in the Zhao court, since the reform of King Zhao Wuling, in addition to the pro-noble feudal monarch, Zhao has only one way to be crowned the monarch with military merits, what qualifications does this Zhao Mu have to be with those generals who spilled their heads on the battlefield? If the evil head of the king of Israel is opened, the court of Zhao will become a miasma in the future......
was thinking about how to admonish, but King Zhao pulled him to the edge of the map with great interest and said: "The doctor came just in time, and the widow is thinking about how much land to cut Yan Country in this battle!" ”
Yu Xin couldn't laugh or cry, what did this young king think of fighting and fighting? This is not a child's play, and he can't wait to think about how much land he will cut after the victory, and King Zhao is too confident.
Zhao Wangdan took it for granted: "With Ma Fujun as the main general, why worry about the Yan Kingdom if it is not broken?" The old general promised his mother that within 100 days, he would defeat the Yan army, and the soldiers would be in Yishui! ”
"Coach Fa Yan has been decided?" Yu was confident in a move, there has been controversy inside and outside the palace about this matter in the past few days, except for Lian Po, who is on the Western Front, the most qualified person in Zhao State to be the commander of the army is none other than Zhao Hao, but there are rumors that An Pingjun, who has been appointed as Zhao Xiang, also wants to be the commander.
It seems that what Chang Anjun said when he stopped him is true.
"The queen mother is inclined to Ma Fujun......" Although Zhao Wangdan has no opinion on Zhao Hao himself, he is still a little dissatisfied with the queen mother's finalization of the candidate before notifying him, so he turned around and asked Yu Xin: "What does the doctor think?" ”
Yu Xin was originally a Mu Youshi in the Wei State, and he traveled around the world at a young age, and he had a lot of literary and martial strategies, so he smiled and said: "Although the minister does not know about military affairs, I remember that the "Art of War" I read earlier said that the husband is always a civil and military person, a general of the army, and a person who is both rigid and soft, and the affairs of the soldier are also. Ordinary people's evaluation of the main general is often only based on whether he is brave, but in fact, bravery is only one of several conditions that a general should have. With bravery alone, you can only be a soldier who charges the dead, but you can't command three armies. ”
Therefore, when choosing a general, we should pay attention to five things: reason, preparation, fruit, precept, and covenant. Rationality refers to governing an army of 100,000 as well as governing a hundred soldiers. Preparedness means that the troops marched as if they had encountered the enemy. As a result, it means that when facing the enemy, the general does not consider personal life and death, and only prioritizes how to win. Ring means that although the battle was won, it was still as cautious as the first battle. Covenant, that is, the decree is concise and not cumbersome. The above five have both! I have always asked Ma Fujun to accept the order without resigning, the enemy is broken and then returned, the day the division comes out, there is the glory of death, and there is no shame of life! This is the talent of a general, if Ma Fujun is the main commander, within 100 days, the Yan Kingdom will be broken! ”
"The doctor thinks so too." Zhao Wangdan was silent, it seems that there is indeed no more perfect candidate than Ma Fujun.
However, at this time, Zhao Mu said gloomily on the side: "As Dr. Yu said, Ma Fujun is an excellent candidate, but it's just ......"
King Zhao frowned and asked him, "Just what?" ”
Zhao Mu plopped down and knelt down: "It's just that the minister heard that this morning it was Chang'anjun who went to greet the Queen Mother first, and the Queen Mother left him to say a conversation, and then Chang'anjun said goodbye to the palace, and then, the Queen Mother decided to take Ma Fujun as the general, and sent someone to inform the king......"
"Is there such a thing!?" Zhao Wangdan looked very angry: "You mean, the Queen Mother only thought that Ma Fujun was suitable after listening to Chang'anjun's words?" ”
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes: "This is just the minister's speculation, but it should not be much different from the facts." ”
King Zhao tugged at the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice: "For such a military matter, the queen mother did not consult me in advance, but went to consult Chang'anjun, what does this mean!?" ”
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Zhao Mu said on the side that after Chang'an Jun returned from Linzi, he was quite admired by all the people, and there were also rangers from all directions who came to take refuge......
Zhao Wangdan has always been jealous of Chang'anjun's favor as a young son since he was a child, and he was even more afraid that he would become a common uncle and seek to usurp his throne, but in the four months that Chang'anjun went to Linzi as a proton, as the Empress Dowager Zhao successively assigned some state affairs to him, King Zhao's position became more and more stable, and he also arranged many of his cronies as officials in the court, so he was not afraid of Chang'anjun.
He also listened to Yu Xin's words, and generously took the initiative to allocate money and silk from the private treasury to build a mansion for Chang'an Jun, which can be described as magnificent, only worse than King Zhao's own palace.
In the eyes of King Zhao, the names of himself and the monarch of Chang'an have been decided, and he can no longer afford to make big waves.
But today, I heard Zhao Muyi say that Chang'anjun can still influence the decision-making of the military state through the Empress Dowager Zhao?
At this time, King Zhao felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, and said coldly: "I don't want the queen mother to listen to Chang'anjun's words like this, so that even the widow is acting according to Chang'anjun's wishes!?" ”
He felt like he had eaten a fly, and he felt sick in his stomach, and in his rage, he walked to the map, and stepped on it violently, as if to vent his anger......
Yu Xin saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and sighed secretly: "The disaster of Zhao Guo is not thousands of miles away, but within the Xiao Wall!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Mu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he would continue to fan the flames and provoke the relationship between the brothers of King Zhao, Yu Xin knew that if this continued, there would be a catastrophe in the palace, so he stepped forward and said: "The king, please redeem the death penalty of the ministers!" ”
Zhao Wang Daqi: "What is the doctor's crime?" ”
Yu Xin took out a silk letter from his arms, only felt extremely hot, but he has always been upright, although he knew that this matter was not appropriate, but he still truthfully told King Zhao: "In fact, when the minister entered the palace, he happened to meet Chang'an Jun, he stopped the minister's carriage at that time, wept bitterly, said that he had done something wrong unintentionally, and asked the minister to hand over a handwritten letter to the king......"
