Chapter 66: A Confrontation Thousands of Miles Away
"Yuzi, since King Zhao has appointed you as a doctor, why did you introduce me and ask me to ask for asylum from Zhao Guo?"
Holding the roast chicken, while tearing off the meat with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth, sucking the hot fat oil, Wei Qi asked Yu Xin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Xin smiled bitterly and said: "It's fine if I'm the minister of Zhao State, but I'm just a doctor, and I speak lightly." Although King Zhao treated me well, as soon as I entered the court of Zhao State, I rashly begged King Zhao to accept Wei Jun, but I was afraid that he would not agree. Besides, now that the Empress Dowager Zhao is regent, even if King Zhao wants to cheer up, it will take some time......"
In fact, Yu Xincai met with Zhao Wangdan twice, but he had already found that although this young man seemed to be ambitious, he was also prone to hesitation and insufficient decision. Wei Qi came to vote, but he was afraid that he would be regarded as a trouble-inducing move by King Zhao and the ministers of Zhao State.
Thirty years ago, King Chu Huai also escaped from Qin and came to Zhao to ask for acceptance, but that time, Zhao still didn't have the courage to accept King Chu Huai after all, so he was captured by the Qin people. Wei Qi came directly to Zhao State, not only will Wei Guo's face be ugly, but the past of King Chu Huai's rejection is only afraid that it will be staged again, so it is better to hide his whereabouts and ask Pingyuan Jun for personal help.
"First, Jun and Pingyuan Jun have an old friendship; Second, Pingyuan Jun is known as a virtuous son who values righteousness, virtue, virtue, and courtesy, and he will not refuse to come to foreign countries, and in order to maintain this reputation, he will definitely accept Jun. ”
"But by your word!"
If humiliating Fan Ju is the most wrong thing he has done in his life, then Hou Yu Xin is the most correct thing, and Wei Qi has now entrusted his life and death to this person.
Yu Xin swore an oath, but in fact, he was a little unconvinced, and sighed secretly: "If Pingyuan Jun can't take responsibility, then there will be no one who can take responsibility in the Zhao Kingdom, and even in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, there will be no one who can stand up and stop the arrogance of Qiang Qin!" ”
……
At the same time, in the Linzi Proton Mansion, the discussion between Pingyuanjun and Chang'anjun's uncle and nephew was also coming to an end......
"At this moment, if my uncle can't stand up and take on this matter, then there will be no one who can take it on from top to bottom of Zhao State, and even from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong! In my opinion, Zhao Guo should ...... No, it is necessary to accept Wei Qi! ”
Chang Anjun's thoughts coincided with Yu Xin.
Pingyuan Jun was a little hesitant: "Wei Qi is my old friend, but if you evil the Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju and the Qin State because of this, it will bring disaster to the Zhao State......"
Mingyue leaned forward and asked rhetorically: "Uncle's words are very ridiculous, isn't Zhao State fighting Qin now?" ”
"Didn't the Qin army invade and occupy my three border cities because of mourning?"
"Could it be that the previous battles between Lin, Lishi, and Qi, the battles between Yan and Qi, and the battles of several are all fake!?"
The three questions rang out, Pingyuan Jun couldn't help but be stunned, yes, since the battle of Yanhe, there has been almost always a faint hostility between Qin and Zhao, and now the beacon fire on the border has not subsided.
He hesitated and said, "What you said makes sense, I'm not afraid of the Qin State. If a virtuous son like Xinlingjun is forced by Qin, it doesn't matter if he comes to defect, I will definitely greet him by car. But Wei Qi is a person who is stupid and incompetent, and this matter is that he humiliated Fan Ju first, and he brought disaster upon himself, and he is not reasonable......"
Mingyue smiled: "Uncle, I know who Wei Qi is. ”
He said contemptuously: "Wei Qi, named Wei Gongzi, but he is just a mediocre person, during his time as Wei Xiang, Wei was repeatedly defeated, lost his teacher and lost his land. Think back then, when he sat in the high hall and tortured Fan Ju, how stunned he was? Once he lost power, he didn't dare to die to save Wei from danger, but abandoned his post and absconded, which was really a gutsless rat. In my personal opinion, this person is innocent of death, but from the position of Zhao State, although Wei Qi is unbearable, he has the value of use, even if he can't be used by Zhao, he can't be used by Qin! ”
Pingyuan Jun was puzzled: "Wei Qi is used by Qin, what does this mean?" ”
Mingyue said patiently: "Uncle, let me talk about it first, what harm will it do if you don't accept Wei Qi." Originally, this farce was a personal feud between Fan Ju and Wei Qi, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Guo, but now Wei Qi doesn't know what means he used, and after passing the pass, people are already in Handan, regardless of whether Zhao Guo accepts it or not, he has already been involved. ”
"If you refuse to accept it, it seems that you have avoided trouble, but you have lost the grace and courage that a great country should have, and your uncle's name as a righteous son will also be greatly affected, and maybe many more guests will leave you."
Hearing that not accepting Wei Qi would affect his reputation, Pingyuanjun really changed color, which was the thing he valued the most. That time, in order to save his reputation, he killed his beloved beauty, which impressed him too deeply.
In addition, that Fan Ju deliberately humiliated Su Jia in front of the princes' envoys, and openly asked the king of Wei to sacrifice Wei Qi's head, forcing Wei Qi to escape. What Fan Ju wants is probably not only Wei Qi's life, but also to make Wei Qi a pawn of the Qin State to ask for directions. He wants to let the people of the world see how Prime Minister Qin forced Wei Xiang into a corner, Qin Xiang said a word, the princes were afraid, Qin Xiang lived in peace, and the world rested in peace. In this way, everyone in the six countries will be in danger and will scramble to curry favor with the Qin State, even the Qi State is no exception! ”
"Today, Wei Qi is in trouble and asks Zhao for help, but Zhao is afraid of Qin and refuses to accept it. Ming'er Qi is in trouble, can Zhao Guo fulfill his promise to help them? The King of Qi will be suspicious of Zhao State, thinking that Zhao State is also afraid of Qin and is not worth relying on, and there is no way to talk about the alliance, and using Wei Qi to divide the princes is probably Fan Ju's deepest sinister intentions! ”
Relying on his understanding of this period of history in his previous life, when Mingyue learned that Wei Qi went to Zhao to defect, he guessed that this was actually a serial plan by Fan Ju.
This is a confrontation thousands of miles apart, hidden in the night, no sword light and blood shadow, once hit, Zhao State will definitely let the princes down, and everyone will betray their relatives.
This opponent's move was too ruthless, and Mingyue had to be very energetic and go all out to crack it! And the key to cracking it is still on Pingyuanjun.
Since he came to Qi State, Pingyuan Jun has long stopped treating Chang'an Jun as a 16-year-old child, and after listening to his analysis, he shook his head and said, "What about the benefits of accepting Wei Qi?" ”
Mingyue had already stood up and said, "Uncle, let me speak slowly." ”
……
The candlelight flickered, it was already night outside, and Mingyue personally spread out a sketchy map of the seven kingdoms of the world in this era on the desk, and said:
"The Qin State attacked Zhao, but Zhao would rather cede the city to the Qi State in exchange for the help of the Qi State than bow to the Qin State. Because the whole Zhao State knows very well that Qin is a state of tigers and wolves, and they are insatiable, and their purpose is not to occupy one or two of our cities, but to take all the Taiyuan County of Zhao like they seized Hedong of Wei State thirty years ago. Then, raise troops to march east and south, like destroying the state of Chu fifteen years ago, overwhelm the state of Zhao, so as to cut off the spine of Shandong. ”
"The reason why the Qin army did not attack for a long time was because the battle of Yan and Yan reminded the king of Qin that the Yue Han passed through Wei, and the attack on the capital of Zhao was rejected by Zhao with horse clothes and Lian Po, while Han and Wei took advantage of it, and the Qin army was in danger. Therefore, four years have passed since the battle of Yanhe, and the Qin State no longer sent large troops to attack Zhao, but decided to take Han Wei first. Once Han and Wei folded into Qin, the Qin people could pass their troops to Zhao, and I think this is the advice that Fan Ju gave to the king of Qin. ”
"I secretly thought that although Qin and Zhao only have a small conflict at the moment, there will be a big war sooner or later, and Zhao must prepare as early as possible. Therefore, the matter of Wei Qi coming to take refuge seems to have nothing to do with Zhao State, but in fact, it has a lot to do with it! ”
Pingyuan-kun asked, "Oh? What's at stake? ”
"Uncle, you must have heard the story of a thousand dollars buying horse bones, right?"
Pingyuan Jun bowed: "This is Guo Kui's strategy for King Yan Zhao back then, buying a useless horse bone, but it made thousands of horses from all over the world come one after another." King Yan Zhao humbled himself and waited for Guo Kui, built a golden platform to seek soldiers, and for a time Le Yi went from Wei, Zou Yan from Qi, Zhao Hao, Ju Xin from Zhao Xiang, Shi fought for Yan, and Yan Guo was ruled ......"
"Of course, of course he Wei Qi is not a horse bone of a thousand miles, and he is not even a soak of!"
"A soak of, good, my nephew's words are used as a metaphor for that Wei Qi, it's really appropriate!"
The words made Pingyuanjun laugh, and Mingyue continued: "But when Wei is afraid of Qin like a tiger, Pingyuanjun of Zhao can accept it calmly, which can show the world that Zhao is not afraid of Qin." ”
"Qin Wangji has been on the throne for forty-two years, this person has lived a long time, and how many kings of the Six Kingdoms have survived. But he did not have a few generations of kindness to Korea, Wei, and Chu, but he accumulated several generations of grudges. ”
"Starting from Qin Xiangong's victory at Shimen, beheading 80,000 Wei pawns; From the time King Qin Hui made Zhang Yi defraud King Chu Huai with a false 600-li Hanzhong land, and beheaded 80,000 Chu Jiashi in Danyang and Lantian, and captured more than 70 people, including the general Qu Kuo and the general Fenghou Chou. The fathers and sons of the kings of Han, Wei, and Chu have died under the butcher's knife of Qin for nearly six generations. ”
"In the past thirty years, with Wu Anjun as a general, this is even more so. In the Battle of Yique, the Battle of Yanying, and the Battle of Huayang, hundreds of thousands of people died in the hands of Wu Anjun in Chu, Wei and Han, from the generals to the soldiers, who cut off their stomachs and intestines, cut off their heads and destroyed their faces, separated their bodies, and exposed their dry bones in the wilderness and water, which can be seen everywhere. None of the people of the Three Kingdoms had no enmity with the Qin people, and because the land was ruined and the temples were burned down, the people were not happy to live for the Qin people, so their relatives fled, their flesh and blood were scattered, and they fled to foreign countries one after another, and the exiles became concubines, flooding the ...... of the sea."
"These people, tens of thousands, have an unforgettable hatred for Qin, but their monarchs are all cowardly and incompetent, and they dare not take revenge on the Qin State......"
Speaking of this, Mingyue couldn't help but feel related, on the streets of Handan and Linzi, he had seen similar Chu, Wei, and Han slaves, especially Chu Wei. Wei lost Hedong, Chu lost Jianghan, and lost half of the country. The Qin people also did not want to rule the "traitors" in Anyi City, so they drove all the Wei people in Anyi and moved the sinners from Guanzhong, because after the Qin people were governed by the martingale law for several generations, they had become a group of obedient people who obeyed the orders of the officials.
So those Wei people and Chu people had no choice but to leave their hometowns.
It is precisely because of this hatred that has lasted for five or six generations that the Qin Dynasty was able to conquer the Six Kingdoms later, but it could not really bring the head of the Qiantou to his heart. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have grievances in their hearts, and the slogan of "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu" was shouted out in this way, so that Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang and other anti-Qin forces of the Six Kingdoms could hide in their grievances, wait for the people to wait for the Qin Dynasty to toss and die, and after the foundation of the world was exhausted, the moment when one man was in trouble and the seven temples were destroyed......
The soldiers shouted, Hangu lifted, the Chu people were torched, and the poor scorched earth was pitiful. The collapse of the Qin Dynasty was only fifty or sixty years later, and it was only more than ten years before Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms......
Mingyue felt that if she was free of illness and disaster, she would be able to live until then, and the melee at the end of Qin would be much more cruel and disorderly than the annexation of the Seven Heroes. Four out of ten households in the world have disappeared, and slaughtering cities and captives has become commonplace. It took three generations for the Han Dynasty to recover, and the chaotic situation of white bones exposed in the wild and no chickens for thousands of miles was something he did not want to see.
Mingyue sighed lightly and said secretly: "What I want to stop is not the unification that will inevitably come, but the sudden rise and fall that almost regresses and even destroys civilization!" ”
But with his current status and fame, he is not qualified to stand up and carry the pot.
This glorious and arduous task had to be taken over by the plain king.
Mingyue bowed to the plain monarch and said: "In this way, with Wei Qi as an example, those who hate Qin in the world will return to Zhao Ruliushui and give advice to Zhao State." Handan will become the center of the gathering of anti-Qin forces, and the prestige of my uncle will also be in full swing from now on! When the time comes, who will be the prime minister of Zhao State, and who will be his uncle!? ”
