Chapter 218: Lobbying the Monarch
Zhao Hou was really overjoyed by Su Qin's words, and he remembered Su Qin's true identity again, so he asked, "Is Prime Minister Su participating in the domestic government affairs of Yan State in Yan State?" Are you a prime minister specially set up for external communication? ”
When Su Qin heard Zhao Hou ask about this matter, he was shocked, and said: Zhao Hou has actually paid attention to and understood his true situation, it turns out that Zhao Hou has a good impression of him!
Zhao Hou is asking such a question now, obviously moving his own mind. Thinking of this, Su Qin was both happy and nervous, because the quality of the answer was directly related to whether Zhao Hou could reuse himself.
Su Qin thought for a while, and then said: "Weichen's service to the Yan Kingdom is only the first step to display his talents, and Weichen has greater ambitions and is willing to show his skills and make contributions in a big country like Zhao. ”
"The Honghu flies high, it needs thousands of miles of wind, and Weichen is not the high-flying Honghu, so he is only specialized in foreign exchanges in Yan Kingdom."
Su Qin's words revealed a very strong message, that is, he hoped to use a bigger stage to display his ambitions, and Zhao Guo was one of such stages. He did not explicitly say that he wanted to be a minister in Zhao State.
But these words were enough to impress Zhao Hou.
Zhao Hou stood up, walked up to Su Qin, helped him up, and said, "Although our Zhao Kingdom is small, the widow also has great ambitions, and it is in line with Prime Minister Su Cheng's ambitions in life,......
Zhao Hou was talking to Su Qin very much, and when the topic turned to the substantive stage, suddenly there was a violent coughing sound from outside the door, and with that long series of coughing sounds, Xuanyang Jun swaggered in.
Zhao Hou was just about to say what he was saying to Su Qin, but he was interrupted by Xuanyang Jun, who suddenly appeared.
Su Qin was very unhappy in his heart, and thought: "This Xuanyang Jun seems to be deliberately making trouble, he doesn't know how long he has been eavesdropping outside the palace, and he specially appeared to make trouble at a critical moment. ”
He sighed secretly: "Marquis Zhao is ambitious, but he is subject to the power of the old nobles. And he seems to be really a little weak, especially for his brother, he has no law of monarchy and ministers, where does Xuanyang Jun Zhao Yun regard him as a monarch? How dare you be so casual! ”
Su Qin saw Xuanyangjun in the dark in the peach garden, and Xuanyangjun saw Su Qin for the first time, Su Qin hugged his fist and bowed his hand to Xuanyangjun, and Xuanyangjun had a haughty demeanor and no courtesy at all.
He said to Su Qin: "It turned out to be the world-famous prodigal Su Qin, I don't know when you arrived in Yan Kingdom, and you turned out to be quite a fool." ”
Su Qin saw Xuanyangjun's lively face, arrogant and rude, and was very dissatisfied, so he sneered at each other: "I, the prime minister, got it by virtue of my true ability, but I didn't rely on brotherly relationships to ask for it, if Xuanyangjun is not satisfied, you can rely on the relationship to ask for one to be in charge." ”
Xuanyang Jun was so choked by Su Qin's words that he couldn't say a whole thing, he said: "You, why are you such a person,......"
Su Qin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then said sarcastically: "Yes, I am such a person, I don't have much ability, and I know how many catties and taels I have, I don't dare to be so proud, and I see people as if others owe me hundreds of gold." ”
Where Xuanyang Jun was Su Qin's opponent, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointed at Su Qin with his finger, and screamed a few times.
Su Qin looked at him, smiled, and thought: "I am also the prime minister of Yan Kingdom now, you are so rude, you deserve to be ridiculed, see what you can do to me?" ”
Zhao Hou saw that the two of them were fighting, so he played a round and said: "You two smart people with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, you quarrel when you meet for the first time, what kind of system is this." Let's take a step forward and don't talk any more. ”
Su Qin thought to himself: "As far as your younger brother is still sharp-toothed, the whole stupid bag, only you still treat him as a treasure." This kind of person is appointed as the prime minister of Zhao State, and Zhao State can still have a good one! ”
The conversation between Zhao Hou and Su Qin could not be carried out because Xuanyang Jun was there. Zhao Hou planned to put it aside for a few more days and then talk to Su Qin alone.
Therefore, he instructed Xuanyang Jun: "It just so happens that you are here, junior brother, and I was thinking: Who will arrange accommodation for Prime Minister Su Cheng of Yan Kingdom in the official residence, then I will favor you." ”
Xuanyang Jun took the order and left, and Su Qin also said goodbye to Zhao Hou and came out. Outside the hall, Ning Jun, who was waiting there, saw that Su Qin's face was still angry, and thought that his conversation with Zhao Hou was not going well, and it was inconvenient to ask more.
Xuanyang Jun was waiting for Su Qin in front of the palace, and when Su Qin came over, he said to Su Qin: "My brother asked me to arrange accommodation for you in the official residence, so you can come with me." ”
Su Qingang had a quarrel with Xuanyang Jun, and originally thought that he would delay Zhao Hou's instructions and delay arranging the official residence. Unexpectedly, Xuanyangjun still had a little sense of the overall situation, and took the initiative to arrange it for himself.
Su Qin already had a place to live, but since Zhao Hou had a life, he couldn't live up to his wishes. Therefore, Su Qin and Ning Jun followed Xuanyang Jun out of the palace gate, and soon walked to the special official residence of Zhao State close to Handan Palace.
Su Qinjian's official residence is also a small courtyard, with more than 20 houses in the main house and side rooms combined. As soon as Xuanyangjun entered the official residence, the official in charge of the official residence, a short middle-aged man, greeted him and saluted Xuanyangjun respectfully.
Xuanyangjun simply arranged it to the official housekeeper, and asked the official to lead Su Qin and Ning Jun to visit the official house and choose a satisfactory house.
Su Qinke followed the master's arrangement, listened to the other party's arrangement, and went to visit with the official. Xuanyangjun stayed by himself and wandered around the official residence.
After Su Qin and Ning Jun had chosen a room, they were about to leave, but Xuanyang Jun was waiting for them at the door of the official residence and said, "You have come from afar, it is better to stay for lunch, and it is not too late to rest and then go to work." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the official again, and the official also agreed, and persuaded Su Qin and Ning Jun to stay for lunch.
As soon as Su Qin saw that it was still early, he resolutely resigned. He and Ning Jun beckoned the carriage parked outside the palace and returned to the inn together. Su Qin didn't want to live in the past, so he didn't wait until the evening to go to the official residence with Ning Jun.
As soon as their carriage entered the official house, the official official greeted him, and he personally helped Su Qin get down from the carriage and took Su Qin to the room where he had selected a good one. Su Qin went in to take a look, and saw that the wine and food had been placed on the table in front of the table, and the room was very tidy.
Su Qin turned around and said a word of thanks to the official officer, and the official quickly said that that was what he should do, please Su Qin don't have to be polite.
