Chapter 207: Sealing (II)
At the same time, Zhao Wangdan, who had just returned to Longtai in the Zhao Palace, was also discussing with several of his cronies about Chang'anjun's sealing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
With Chang'anjun's three major contributions in just one year: going to Qi as a hostage, forming an alliance with Qi to attack Yan, and entering Yan for peace talks, coupled with the double wheel car he first advocated, it also achieved excellent results, saving a lot of losses for Zhao's military food transportation and improving efficiency. After accumulating so many big and small credits, Chang'anjun's actual seal has become a sure thing, and it can't be delayed any longer.
To King Zhao's dissatisfaction, Empress Dowager Zhao, who had already handed over the political affairs to him one after another, stood up again at this time, and actually promised Chang'anjun, saying that he could choose a favorite fief on his own across the country......
King Zhao was very reluctant, but he had already been promoted to Xia Qing, and Yu Xin, who was affectionately called "Yu Qing" by King Zhao, persuaded him that it was better to agree to this request.
Yu Qing has his reasons: "Since the death of King Qi Xiang, the Queen Mother has changed her attitude and insisted on asking for the title of Chang'an Jun." In the minister's view, this is afraid that he will soon die, so he wants to find a place for Chang'an Jun to settle down, if the king does not agree, I am afraid that the queen mother is worried, but it is not beautiful. It's better to agree, Chang'an Jun's merit, at most a small county, the population is not more than 10,000, the private family is less than 1,000, in the Zhao country with hundreds of thousands of armor and tens of thousands of cars, it is just a drop in Taicang, why worry? This move can reassure the heart of the Queen Mother, and in terms of the prince's pro-government, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! ”
When King Zhao heard that this was the Empress Dowager Zhao looking for a way back for Chang'anjun, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't want his younger brother to get too good a place, so he asked Yu Qing, Zhao Mu and others: "The second and third sons think that where will my brother choose the fief?" ”
Zhao Mu hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't know where Chang'anjun will choose, he only knows that there are some places that must not be given to him!" ”
"Tell me about it."
Zhao Mu lowered his head and said: "I heard that Zheng Wugong has a wife Wu Jiang, and Wu Jiang gave birth to Zheng Zhuang Gong and Gong Shu Duan, because Zheng Zhuang Gong was born, so Wu Jiang favored Uncle Duan and hated Zhuang Gong, and wanted to make Shu Duan the eldest son, and asked Wu Gong many times, but Wu Gong did not agree. ”
After Zheng Zhuanggong ascended the throne, Wu Jiang asked for Shu Duan to divide him into a system. Zhuang Gongdao: 'The system is an important town in Zheng Guo, and it cannot be divided, and the rest of the cities are listened to. So Shu Duan was renamed to Jingyi ......"
There are words in Zhao Mu's words, and he deliberately uses Wu Jiang, Zheng Zhuanggong, and Shu Duan to compare today's Empress Dowager Zhao, King Zhao, and Chang'an Jun's mother and son, with ill intentions. provoked Yu Qing to look at him deeply, handsome and vicious, he was really a colorful poisonous snake, but unfortunately King Zhao's trust in him was even greater than himself, and Yu Qing couldn't get rid of him, so he could only try his best to fight with him, so that King Zhao was more inclined to listen to his own opinions.
However, King Zhao listened very seriously: "You mean that the important capitals in the country cannot be given to Chang'anjun?" ”
Zhao Mu bowed: "However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, all the feudal divisions stipulated that the capital of the Qing Doctor should not exceed one-third of the national capital, the medium one should not exceed one-fifth, and the small one should not exceed one-ninth, in order to strengthen the foundation." In order to avoid the story of Zheng Guogongshu and Jin Guoqu Wodaiji, the fief of Chang'an Jun must not be a big county, nor a traffic artery, and it is best not to be in Handanji, so as not to have ambitions and communicate with his fellow parties in Handan City, which is not good for the king......"
The territory of Zhao is roughly divided into three major regions: the trilateral counties of Yanmen, Dai and Yunzhong in the north; Taiyuan County, the place where the Zhao clan arose, in the west; The local Handan, Zhongshan, and Hejian.
Handan, Zhongshan, and Hejian do not set up counties, and all counties and cities are under the direct jurisdiction of Handan, and the places west of Zhangshui and south of Bairen are usually considered to be the core of Jinnei, and they are also the most dense, most densely populated, and most economically developed areas in Zhao State.
Therefore, King Zhao decided that the cities within ten days' distance of Handan would not have Chang'an's share.
Yu Qing listened silently and added, "The three northern counties cannot be divided. ”
The reason why he suggested this is based on history, because the cultural differences are large, the distance is far away, and Dai, Yanmen, and Yunzhong have always had centrifugal forces with the Zhao country. Originally, Zhao State's governance of Daidi was to divide the sons of close relatives to guard the town, but in history, there were successive events such as Zhao Huan, the descendant of Zhao Huanzi, who overthrew Zhao Huanzi and re-ascended the throne as Zhao Xianhou, and Zhao Zhang, the king of Anyang in the era of King Zhao Wuling, rebelled. Considering that the Daidi has repeatedly rebelled and the cavalry is strong, since King Zhao Huiwen, the Daidi is no longer divided, but divided into three, and a trilateral county is set up, with the county guarding the town.
Today's Daijun Taishou is Li Bo, a close confidant of King Zhao, and the task assigned to him by King Zhao is to lead the military affairs of the three counties, bring the border army into his hands one after another, and find and promote the young generals of the border army, so as to maintain a balance with the two major general groups in China......
So of course King Zhao can't let a prince go there and seal it, break this situation, and he is still very jealous of Chang'anjun's ability to buy people's hearts. This younger brother has made many important ministers in Qi and Yandu, and he has also won praise from old ministers such as Lin Xiangru, Zhao Hao, and Touch Long in Handan, which makes him very uncomfortable.
So the scope was narrowed down a lot, they expected that most of Chang'anjun's fiefdoms would be selected in the safe Zhongshan and Hejian areas, far away from the war, and enjoy the food of drought and flood protection.
"Maybe it's one of the few cities that Yan Kingdom gave back to Zhao State."
King Zhao didn't care about the remote towns in those places, deep down in his heart, he hoped that his younger brother would go as far as possible.
So the next day, Chang'an Jun wrote to King Zhao, resigned from the fief repeatedly according to the process, and finally showed that he was willing to defend the border for the country......
The fief he hoped for was a place that everyone had not thought of beforehand:
Taiyuan County, Qi County!
"Qi County!?" King Zhao looked at Yu Qing a little dumbfounded, hoping that he would inform him of the situation in this place.
"How could Chang'an-jun choose such a place?"
Yu Qing also frowned, unable to figure out what medicine was sold in Chang'an Jun's gourd, Qi County is located in the south of Taiyuan County, on the verge of the big lake Zhaoyu Qi, although it was an important town of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, a large county of ten thousand households, but in the past thirty years, it has been repeatedly affected by the Qin State soldiers, and has declined a lot.
In the seventeenth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (282 B.C.), that is, the year when Zhao obtained He's Bi, the Qin general Bai Qi personally led the troops and captured Zishi and Qi County.
And Zhao Mu laughed out loud and persuaded King Zhao: "King, since Chang'anjun insists on going to death, it is better to agree to him!" ”
