Chapter 237: Eternal Prize
Su Qin said goodbye to the Meng sisters, thinking about his thoughts, and unconsciously the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at this time, the sun had risen very high. When he arrived in the lobby, he happened to see Feiyi who was busy.
He discussed things with Zhou Shao as he walked, and when the two saw Su Qin, they both stood in place and bowed down to give Su Qin a salute. Su Qin waved his hand to signal that he would be exempted.
Fei Yi said to Su Qin: "We have been looking for the prime minister a long time ago and want to report something urgent to you. ”
Su Qin was a little embarrassed, after all, he was late. He hid his embarrassed look and asked Fei Yi and Zhou Shao to follow him to the lobby.
Su Qin entered the lobby and asked without waiting to sit down at the table, "What is it that makes you so urgent?" ”
"We received a secret report from Wei early in the morning, and the king of Wei heard that there was a competition for the position within Zhao State, and there were many contradictions, so he convened a meeting of military generals to disadvantage Zhao State." Zhou Shao reported in a hurried tone.
"When the lower official saw this secret report brought by Zhou Duwei, he didn't dare to slack off, so he urgently brought Zhou Shao to tell the prime minister." Fei Yi also added.
He handed Su Qin a silk silk, on which more than twenty words were densely written, Su Qin looked at it, and his brows furrowed. As the saying goes: a gap in one country, an opportunity for an enemy country. That's true.
In these troubled times, all countries are eyeing their neighbors and looking for opportunities in every possible way.
Su Qin thought for a moment, and immediately ordered Feiyi and Zhou Shao to take the secret report and go with him to meet Zhao Hou. He didn't even sit at the seat, turned around and took Feiyi and Zhou Shao to Handan Palace.
Zhao Hou heard Prime Minister Su Cheng's urgent request to see him, and he had an important report on the matter, so he hurriedly pushed away the affairs at hand and ordered the eunuchs around him to bring Su Qin and others to Yangqing Palace.
Su Qin first verbally reported the movements of Wei to Zhao Hou, and then submitted a secret report, and Zhao Hou was shocked when he saw it. He stabilized his mind and asked Su Qin, "Prime Minister Su, what do you think we should do?" ”
Su Qin had already thought of countermeasures on the way here, and he suggested: "Wei Chen knows that when the Wei general Pang Juan besieged Handan, my senior brother Sun Bin of the Qi State army used a plan to besiege Wei to save Zhao, and defeated the Wei State in Maling. ”
"For today's time," he suggested, we might as well continue on this path. Without waiting for Wei to attack, I took the initiative to send an envoy to Qi, and when Wei saw that Zhao and Qi were well-formed, they must be afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past and did not dare to act rashly. ”
"Su Cheng's clever plan, Wei was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for three years, I believe that Zhao and Qi Tong are good, and they must be afraid." Zhao Hou listened to Su Qin's suggestion before he settled down.
"Without further ado, Weichen will leave for Qi in three days, hoping that the king will be gracious." Su Qin pleaded with Zhao Hou.
Zhao Hou was begging for it, how could he not allow it, he said: "Then favor Prime Minister Su." You might as well go to a few more countries this time, and agree on more princes for Zhao State, so as to completely eliminate the soldiers. ”
This is exactly what Wechen wants. Weichen has already prepared, when I am away, the political affairs of the Prime Minister of Zhao State are temporarily coordinated by Feiyi, and I can ask the king for instructions at any time, I believe that there will be no major mistakes. Su Qin said.
Zhao Hou also knows Feiyi well, plus he can take care of political affairs big and small, and it is not a good thing to take care of the prime minister's government affairs for the time being, so Zhao Hou nodded and expressed satisfaction with Su Qin's arrangement.
He also said, "The widow once said that he would fund you with a large amount of money to make friends with the princes and make them subordinate to my Zhao kingdom. This time he sent an envoy to the Qi country, and the widow was the first to fulfill this promise. ”
"Su Qinding will live up to his mission, please rest assured." Su Qin saw that Zhao Hou was sincere, and he was very moved in his heart.
Zhao Hou stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said: "The widow will give you a luxury vehicle of 100 rides, 1000 gold and 100 pairs of white, and 1000 horses of good splendor." It is used to dredge the monarchs and ministers of various countries and make an oath. How much you need to carry with you when you go to the Qi country this time is up to you to deploy. ”
When Su Qin heard that Zhao Hou had financed the wealth, the richness of which was also beyond his expectations. The value of these possessions is simply unimaginable to the eyes of a human being. It can be seen that Zhao Hou and Zhao Yu are determined to fund Su Qin. Su Qin has waited for decades, and only today can he really see the sunrise through the clouds.
With such a rich reward, why worry about the princes from all walks of life not being moved. If the princes of which way are hesitant, they can bribe their powerful ministers and favored ministers first, and they can also be taken.
Su Qin was grateful to Huaide, and said sincerely: "Weichen is not talented, he is willing to run for the Zhao State, and he will invite the princes to the Zhao State, take the monarch as the alliance leader, and conclude an oath." Su Qin said, and bowed deeply and thanked Zhao Hou.
Zhao Hou asked his personal eunuch Feng Zhongshu to record the items he had just given on the spot, write two copies, and stamp his own seal, one of which was immediately sent to the official in charge of Zhao's property, and the other was handed over to Su Qin for safekeeping.
And Feng Zhongshu was also stunned, his eyes were round in shock, and he couldn't believe his ears. Zhao Hou said "um", he reacted, and hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Su Qin waited by Zhao Hou's side for a while, and while talking to him, Feng Zhongshu prepared the documents, and Su Qin took one of them and said goodbye to Zhao Hou.
He took Fei Yi and Zhou Shao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Qin specially left Fei Yi in the Prime Minister's Hall, briefly explained to him his next move, and ordered him to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion from now on.
Su Qin then summoned other important officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, clarified their respective responsibilities to them, and assigned tasks, which ended the day's errand. When I returned to the peach garden in the evening, it was already the time to hold the lights.
After Su Qin first arrived at the peach garden, Ning Jun came to report to him about the operation of the peach garden. With a guilty face, he said: "Due to the impact of the last incident, business is still not very good. ”
However, Ning Jun looked at Su Qin as he spoke, smiled mysteriously, and said, "However, these are not problems. I also heard that Mr. Su has received a rich reward from Zhao Hou, and now he is rich, how can this little expense be enough! ”
Su Qin was a little surprised when he heard Ning Jun's words, and thought: "The news spread so fast!" ”
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "You all know about the reward of Zhao Hou for my wealth. ”
"Mr. Su's reward is enormous, probably unprecedented. Naturally, the news spread far and wide, and I am afraid that today it is no longer limited to Handan City. ”
Ning Jun was a little envious, but he was still proud and proud of Su Qin in his heart.
Su Qin thought to himself: "I don't know where the news came out, is it the eunuch in the palace?" Or is it a government in charge of property? "He doesn't know.
But after thinking about it: there is nothing unreasonable about this matter, after all, this is an unprecedented reward in the history of Zhao State, and it does sound amazing. Naturally, the news spreads quickly.
