Chapter 112: The Imperial Palace

"Don't worry, if the Qin State wants to unite the Qi State to attack the Zhao State, it will definitely send an envoy to the Qi State to lobby and join Qin to attack Zhao, it is not a trivial matter, these three days and five days, the Qi State should not agree so quickly, the most important thing, now these things are just our speculation, will Li Dui and King Zhao believe it?" Lin Xiangru smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan's face did not change and he did not have the slightest worry. Qin Guolian attacked Zhao, this matter will definitely not take two days, and the Zhao court will get the news, after all, Li Dui can achieve this position, how can he not even have this means and eyes?

The most important thing now is that I don't know what way King Zhao and Li Dui will find to stop the alliance between Qin and Qi, this problem is the most serious, as long as the alliance between the two countries can be destroyed, then the Qin army will be alone.

"I will tell General Lian about this matter, my uncle's great talent is really impressive, and I will definitely come to visit you again when I have time." Zhao Fan got up, said a few polite words to Lin Xiangru, and left here with Xu Jia.

If it is not early today, and the Qin Guolian is attacking Zhao, it is indeed a big event, so we have to listen to Lian Po as soon as possible, so that they can prepare early.

At this time, Lian Po and Miao Xian had already finished talking, Zhao Fan and the two had just arrived, Lian Po just got up to say goodbye to Miao Xian, and then the three of them left Miao Xian's mansion, drove the carriage, and went outside the palace.

Back at the General's Mansion, Zhao Fan didn't care about being tired, so when Lin Xiangru lived, the content of the conversation between the three of them was listened to by Lian Po.

"This matter is very important, and you and the person named Lin Xiang, the guess is very reasonable, although there is no real evidence, but it may be a very big surname, this matter will be reported to my king when the court meeting is tomorrow."

Lian Po's face was a little heavy, although he was only a military general, he did not lack a sense of political smell, this matter is indeed very possible, the tiger wolf Qin State, the appetite is very big!

……

Second, as soon as the sky was bright, Lian Po put on his court clothes, tidied up his clothes, got into a carriage, and headed towards the court of King Zhao.

This is a routine court meeting, and Lian Po is a general, so he naturally wants to participate in the court meeting.

The court meeting is a kind of court meeting with the highest etiquette specifications that began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and has been inherited by the Qin and Han dynasties until the Ming and Qing dynasties. The time when the hundred officials see the Son of Heaven is in the morning, so it is called "court". The political purpose of the Son of Heaven in meeting with the princes and officials was to "plan the affairs of the world" and at the same time inquire about the governance of the localities, which is called "performance appraisal", similar to the "performance appraisal" or "target management" of officials at all levels today.

At this moment, there were already many ministers waiting outside the noon gate, Lian Po got off the carriage, chatted with several familiar ministers, and with the continuous shouts of the officials next to the door of the main hall, the ministers suddenly walked into the hall respectfully.

In the main hall, the gold is splendid, and there is only a majesty that belongs to the emperor alone, faintly lingering in the whole hall, making people can't help but have a solemn and solemn feeling in their hearts.

In the center of the main hall, on a white jade stone step, there is a golden and powerful throne. When the ministers entered the main hall, they greeted them one after another, shouting loudly: "Welcome to the king......"

As soon as the words fell, King Zhao Huiwen also walked up from the side and sat on the throne.

This King Zhao, who has no real power now, is about 20 years old, with a handsome face and beautiful bones, but he is a beautiful man. His skin is as fair as a woman, his face is pale, it seems that he has been stripped of power by Li Dui, he seems to lack some of the emperor's domineering spirit, and has a kind of literati emperor's flavor.

The crown on his head, black on the outside and red on the inside, is a rectangular crown plate on the top of his head, which makes him add some imperial posture.

Of course, the body is the emperor's crown robe, with yellow lines on a black background, lined with gold edges, solemn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats." King Zhao sat upright on the throne, his face calmly glanced at the respectful ministers below, and when his eyes fell on Fengyangjun at the front, his eyes flashed inadvertently, as if there was a fine light.

"The ministers are seated, and the court will begin." The people of the Sili Palace shouted, and the hall was suddenly solemn.

According to the etiquette of the court during the Warring States period, this court meeting was like a banquet, and the king had to first declare the purpose of the court meeting, and then discuss and decide the matter together.

"Your Majesty, the minister Li Dui has an envoy to play." As soon as the shouts of the people in the Sili Palace fell, the leader of the civil officials, Fengyangjun Li Dui, suddenly stepped forward and played.

Li Dui looks like a tiger, although he is Xiangguo, but the power that is invisibly revealed in his body is even more than that of King Zhao. He wore a court robe, wore a high silk crown, and inserted a bird feather hairpin, and the bird feathers swayed back and forth when he came, which increased his majesty.

"What's the matter with Sangkook?" King Zhao looked at him calmly and said calmly. On the surface, there is no sense of color, but it gives people an unfathomable feeling.

"During this time, the Qin army even said, Lian Ke I Zhao State's five cities, and even Jiaoyang was also occupied, and Jinyang was in danger. Therefore, the minister felt that he should send an army to rescue Jinyang as soon as possible, resist the Qin army, and recover the city occupied by the Qin army. ”

On the surface, Li Dui did a good job of the courtier's etiquette for the king, but when he spoke, he held his head high, and there was no respect on his face. His tone had a categorical taste, as if he had already decided, and now he said it just through the motions.

"What Xiangguo said, what do you think?" King Zhao looked quite indifferent, but the hands lying on the seat were secretly rioting. He turned his gaze to the ministers.

"The ministers thought that Xiangguo's words were very good." Most of the ministers below responded with the voice, and only a few such as Lian Po did not say anything.

King Zhao was silent for a moment, he glanced at the ministers below, and there was a hint of sadness and depression in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and everyone was unaware of what he was thinking.

"That's the case, I don't know which general to send to lead the troops to rescue Jinyang?" King Zhao coughed and said.

"The minister thinks General Lian Po is quite suitable." Li Dui said again.

King Zhao looked at Lian Po, he saw that the former's eyes flickered slightly, and nodded secretly, and immediately sighed in his heart, but his mouth asked loudly: "General Lian, what do you think?" ”

"The minister is willing to lead the army to retreat from the enemy, and will never fail to live up to the king's trust." Lian Po took a step forward and said loudly.

King Zhao's eyes flickered, and he said: "Since this is the case, then lead your right army to go out in two days, what else is there to do?" ”

"My lord, my minister got a bad news last night. The State of Qin has already sent Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran to the State of Qi, wanting to agree that Qin will be the Western Emperor and Qi will be the Eastern Emperor, and attack our Zhao State on both sides. Lian Po just stepped back, the corners of Li Dui's mouth moved, and he said without hurry.

As soon as he spoke, the court suddenly panicked, and King Zhao's face also changed greatly, this news is really shocking, Qin Qi joined forces, where can Zhao Guo resist?

Lian Po was also extremely shocked, he was thinking about how to tell Zhao Fan and Lin Xiangru's guess yesterday, but he didn't expect Li Dui to have already gotten accurate information. At this time, he couldn't be surprised by Zhao Fan and Lin Xiang's intelligence, since it had been determined, he should quickly come up with a countermeasure.

"Is the news true?" Zhao Wangteng stood up from the throne, at this moment, he seemed to have changed a person, the weakness of the right talent was swept away, and what greeted him was a kind of majestic wind that could stabilize the overall situation.

Li Dui also felt the change in King Zhao, and immediately showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he still replied: "It must be accurate." ”

In the court, there was a lot of discussion, and many ministers had a hint of panic on their faces, Qin Qi joined forces to attack Zhao, it was not a trivial matter, this was already a major event that could bring ruin to the Zhao State, even Li Dui, although he was calm on the surface, was actually more anxious than anyone else in his heart.

"If this is the case, then we must immediately recall the army that attacked the Song State. In addition, he ordered someone to go to Qi immediately with heavy gifts and must prevent Qi from cooperating with Qin. King Zhao paced back and forth a few steps above, and then immediately instructed.

After King Zhao finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned, and then they all looked at him incredulously. For a long time, King Zhao has been quite a decoration, and he has no part in what happens. Unexpectedly, at this extremely critical moment, King Zhao would be able to say such a solution that can indeed solve the problem.

Li Dui was also surprised, but it was far less obvious than the other ministers, his eyes drooped slightly, he coughed, and the ministers suddenly quieted down, "What the king said is very true, and the ministers also think so." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect that since the widow could think of going with Xiangguo, since Xiangguo had already thought of this way, then he must have made arrangements, but I don't know who Xiangguo wants to send to Qi to persuade King Qi to give up attacking Zhao."

The momentum around King Zhao suddenly changed, and he seemed to have returned to the appearance of the weak scholar just now, and immediately asked with a smile.

"The minister only got the news last night, and as for the candidate to envoy Qi State, I haven't thought of it for the time being."

"So have you thought of a suitable candidate?" King Zhao looked at the other ministers and asked.

Behind Lian Po, standing Zuo General Wei Biao, his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly stood out of the column, and said: "King, the minister thinks of a person, although this person is no longer an official in the court, but Wen Taowu is very good, and some time ago he also made two great achievements, and now in Handan City, it is also very popular." ”

When King Zhao saw that it was Wei Biao, he also felt a disgust in his heart, but on the surface, he said indifferently: "I don't know who the general recommended?" ”

"Zhao Fan." Wei Biao bowed and said.
