Chapter 12: Grizzled
The capital of Chu, Ying, the palace of the king of Chu.
King Chu Kaolie was playing with his favorite concubine Li Yan, and Li Yuan was standing on the side, respectful.
"Oh, Aifei, where are you?" King Chu Kaolie spoke in a soft and glutinous Chu dialect, and pretended to look around for Li Yan, with an expression of eagerness that he couldn't find.
"King, where are the concubines?" Li Yan snorted, coquettish and infinitely charming.
"Haha, concubine, you came out on your own, right?" King Chu Kaolie pounced happily, hugged Li Yan in his arms, and smiled affectionately: "Ai Concubine, you must not be naughty, it's not good to hurt the fetus." ”
King Chu Kaolie didn't know that Li Yan was pregnant with the seed of Chunshenjun Huang Xie, and thought it was his own flesh and blood, and he loved Li Yan in every way, and he felt a lot of pity, and he couldn't wait to dig up his heart and liver to her.
King Chu Kaolie is not young, but he has no flesh and blood, and the country of Chu cannot be inherited, so he is not in a hurry. Finally, Li Yan is pregnant, and it will be impossible for him not to spoil Li Yan.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, get the dragon." Of course, Li Yuan knew where King Chu Kaolie's heart was, and what he was most anxious about was that he had no son to inherit the country of Chu.
I saw Chu Kaolie's eyes narrowed together with a smile, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, this is all the credit of your sister Yan'er." There are so many widows and concubines, none of them can get pregnant, so Yan'er is pregnant, she is really a lucky star for widows. Well, Li Yuan, from now on, you can take care of the government. Chun Shenjun went to Qin and didn't return, this state affairs can't be presided over by no one, so you can do it first. ”
"Thank you, on Longen!" Li Yuan was overjoyed, and his body bowed ninety degrees. Chong Chu Kaoli King Thanksgiving.
This means that Li Yuan's status is higher. More power. Since then, he will be able to meddle in the national affairs of the Chu State, and the day of his steady progress is not far off.
"On the courtesy, Lu Zhonglian and Xinling Jun ask to see you." At this moment, an attendant came quickly and reported to King Chu Kaolie.
"Xinling-kun?" King Chu Kaolie wanted to fight the idea of Xinling Jun, and once asked Chun Shenjun to look for him, but he couldn't find it, and when he heard that he was coming. Da was overjoyed and said, "Please." ”
Soon, Lu Zhonglian and Xinling Jun came quickly and saluted King Chu Kaolie.
King Chu Kaolie waved his hand, invited them to sit down, and ordered someone to bring tea, and then asked, "Dare to ask the two of you, what is the important matter?" ”
"Does the king know about King Qin's claim to be emperor?" Xinling Jun glanced at Lu Zhonglian, and Lu Zhonglian began to speak.
"The whole world knows about this, how can a few people not know?" King Chu Kaoli frowned. It's a little dissatisfied.
"Since the king knows about this, why doesn't he object?" Lu Zhonglian's voice was slightly higher. I saw that King Chu Kaolie was quite unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Does the king know how harmful King Qin is to be the emperor?" Qin Ben was the strongest Warring States in the world, and he had been looking at the world for a hundred years, and he was helpless in Shandong and lost his land. However, although Qin is strong, after all, he is only a prince, and if he wants to destroy other countries, it is unjustifiable and difficult to succeed. Now, the King of Qin is the emperor, that is, the Son of Heaven, who dares to disobey the power of the Son of Heaven to command the world? If Qin wants to raise an army to destroy Chu, what will happen to the king? ”
Lu Zhonglian deserves to be the "last vertical and horizontal family", this analysis is very reasonable, and it is true.
However, King Chu Kaolie shook his head and said, "Although what Qianliju said is true, even if it is not so, won't the Qin State fight the Great Chu?" The Qin State attacked my Great Qin and deceived me into carrying the king, how could I ever ask for the name of the Son of Heaven? ”
It was not that King Chu Kaolie did not know how much of a threat King Qin Zhao posed to the Chu State, but he did not dare to object. With the strength of the Qin State, if you want to be called the emperor, you will be called the emperor, and no one dares to oppose it. Whoever opposes will be beaten! Although Chu is a big country, however, can Chu resist Qinhu?
"Qin doesn't have the name of the Son of Heaven to attack Chu, and having the name of the Son of Heaven is just attacking Chu, why should the widow be this early bird and give Qin a handle to attack Chu." King Chu Kaolie is also a shrewd person, and he knows that if the Chu State jumps out to oppose it now, it will be inviting trouble and will immediately provoke the Qin army. Instead of this, it is better to recognize the emperor title of King Qin Zhao and follow the good of the Qin State.
"The king, this is a short-sighted act!" Lu Zhonglian never expected that he came with confidence and analyzed it reasonably, but it attracted the statement that King Chu Kaolie was close to a scoundrel.
"Short-sighted? You are short-sighted, and you are causing trouble for Da Chu. Come on, please leave Chisakoma. "King Chu Kaolie absolutely did not want to offend the Qin State in the matter of King Qin Zhao being called emperor, so he ordered someone to blast Lu Zhonglian out.
"King Chu, you are so ignorant, how much will he regret it in the future!" Lu Zhonglian was annoyed.
"Come on, Lu Zhong will be forbidden to enter Chu in the future. If Lu Zhong enters Chu, he can be killed! King Chu Kaoli was enraged by Lu Zhonglian's words and moved to kill.
Lu Zhonglian never expected that King Chu Kaolie would forbid him to enter Chu, and he was no longer in the mood to speak, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
"Great King......" As soon as Xinlingjun saw that the situation was not right, he wanted to leave with Lu Zhonglian, but he stopped King Chu Kaolie and said, "Xinlingjun, where are you?" It's so hard for a widow to look for you. Look at ......" lowered his voice and whispered, Xin Lingjun looked happy, and no longer had the idea of leaving with Lu Zhonglian.
Lu Zhong was surprised when he didn't see Xinlingjun come out, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Xinlingjun's shadow, so he had to leave.
"The king of Chu is so short-sighted and has no foresight, he will definitely regret it one day." Lu Zhonglian galloped on his horse, changed his mind, and said: "The king of Chu is rebellious and has nothing to do, don't say it, I will go to see the king of Wei, and say that for the sake of profit, I want the king of Wei to oppose the king of Qin and claim the emperor." ”
The idea was certain, and Lu Zhonglian went straight to the beam. After coming to Daliang, he asked to see King Wei Anjiao.
When King Wei heard that Lu Zhonglian was coming, he still had a little good impression of him, the "last vertical and horizontal family", and immediately ordered someone to invite him in.
After inviting Lu Zhonglian to sit down and ordering someone to serve tea, King Wei Anjiao asked: "A dragon-like figure like a thousand miles of horses, seeing the head but not the tail, I don't know what is important when I come to see the widow?" ”
The attitude was much better than that of King Chu Kaolie, and Lu Zhonglian felt better.
"Zhong Lian is here for nothing else, just because King Qin is the emperor." Lu Zhonglian didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and said: "The king of Qin said that the emperor is the most harmful to Wei, and the king has to worry." ”
"If the King of Qin is not the emperor, is it not harmful to the Great Wei?" King Wei Anjiao shook his head fiercely and said, "Since the middle concubine Shang Ying changed the law in the Qin State. The state of Qin was strong. Attack the Great Wei for hundreds of years. Great Wei lost his land and land, how could he have been peaceful? The king of Qin said that he was not called the emperor, and he was the same for the Great Wei, the same. ”
Zhongshuzi was Shang Ying's official position in the Wei State, and King Wei Anjiao was called Zhongshuzi at this time, which was a contempt for Shang Ying, because Zhongshuzi was a very small official.
"Although the king's words are reasonable, they are not accurate." Lu Zhonglian was alarmist. said: "In the past, Qin was not the Son of Heaven who could defeat the Wei State and lose its land, and cut the land again and again. Now, Qin is the Son of Heaven, and he commands the world with the power of the Son of Heaven. ”
"Can't!" King Wei Anjiao's face was quite frightened.
Lu Zhonglian saw it in his eyes, and he was very satisfied, and the way to lobby was to talk ruthlessly first. Scared your heart, come up with an idea. You have to do what you say.
However, Lu Zhong didn't even say the following words, and only listened to King Wei Anjiao: "Even if the King of Qin is not called the emperor, and he doesn't need the authority of the Son of Heaven to command the world, Qin wants to destroy the Great Wei, and the Great Wei can't resist it." ”
Although Wei was the overlord in the early Warring States period, it was once very prosperous, however, now, it is precarious, if Qin wants to destroy Wei, Wei will not be able to keep it no matter what, regardless of whether King Qin Zhao is the emperor or not. Therefore, the matter of King Qin Zhao being called emperor has no impact on the Wei State, and if you don't call the emperor to die, you still have to destroy if you call the emperor.
"The king is panicking, Zhonglian has a strategy to solve the dilemma of the Great Wei." Lu Zhong was stunned, quite speechless. Fortunately, he deserves to be a famous lobbyist, so he gave words, and immediately thought of words.
"Oh. What is the strategy? King Wei Anjiao became interested, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Zhonglian.
"Without him, as long as the king opposes King Qin and claims the emperor, he can ......" Lu Zhong didn't even start a sentence before he was rudely interrupted by King Wei Anjiao.
"Shut up!" I saw Wei Anjiao yelling at Lu Zhong and saying, "You are causing trouble to Great Wei." If Da Wei can object, can he wait until now? ”
flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away, and he was not even interested in listening.
Although King Wei Anjiao is an ignorant person, this sentence is still right, if he could oppose it, he would have opposed it a long time ago, and he still needs to wait until now?
Lu Zhonglian was stunned for a long time, and then he accepted this fact, so he had to put away his unhappiness and leave the palace.
"King Wei can't say, then I'll go to Yan Kingdom. Su Qin's cooperation originated in Yan State, and it was initiated by Yan State, I believe that there will always be something to gain this time. Lu Zhonglian thought about it and decided to go to Yan Country to try.
In this way, Lu Zhonglian rushed to Yan Kingdom and asked to see Yan Wangxi.
Yan Wang Xi did not take the shelf, but immediately summoned him.
Yan Wangxi was much more polite to Lu Zhonglian, ordered someone to put on a banquet, and accompanied him in person, and the two drank and talked at the same time, which made Lu Zhonglian's injured heart feel much better, thinking that Yan would definitely succeed.
"Yan Guo was originally a fief of Zhaogong and a descendant of the Ji family, so why should he be trapped in the north and achieve nothing?" During the banquet, Lu Zhonglian changed his method and suddenly sighed.
Yan Kingdom is the fief of Zhaogong, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and it is the authentic bloodline of the Ji family, and from the root, it is the purest.
"Hey." Yan Wang Xi also sighed and said: "When I think of King Zhao, the strength of Great Yan made the world look sideways, and Le Yi led the troops of the five countries to attack Qi, and Qi broke it. Now, hey! ”
A sigh, there is too much helplessness.
"Don't worry, the king, Zhonglian has a strong swallow strategy." Lu Zhonglian saw that the heat was almost over, and he was busy speaking.
"Oh. What is the strategy? "Although Yan Wang Xi is the king of fun, he also has a dream, that is, to restore the power of Yan Kingdom to King Yan Zhao, and when he heard this, he was very interested.
"At the time of King Zhao, Dayan was at the peak of talents, and there were people like Le Yi drama Xin running, and now, the reason why Dayan is weak is that there are no talents." Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "Although Ju Xin is a talent, he is not as far as Le Yi, if Dayan is strong, he has to get another Le Yi." ”
"Reasonable, reasonable." King Yan Zhao agreed very much with this. Immediately afterwards, he spread his hands and said, "Talents don't enter the Yan, what's the matter!" ”
He is the master of fun, and he is not a Ming Jun like King Yan Zhao, a real talent, who wants to serve him?
"Why is it so difficult to get talent? As long as Dayan has fame, talent is not tending to be Yanruo? Lu Zhonglian drew a big cake, changed his words, and said: "As long as the king opposes the king of Qin and calls him the emperor, and forces the king of Qin to go to the emperor's name, the king will ...... The King ......"
Halfway through the words, I saw Yan Wangxi lowering his eyebrows and drooping eyes, his eyelids fighting, and he actually fell asleep, making a thunderous snoring sound.
"This ......" Lu Zhonglian was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Qianliju, the king is sleepy and needs to rest, why don't you discuss it another day, okay?" A minister immediately stepped forward to see off the guests.
Lu Zhonglian's chest rose and fell sharply, and he was annoyed, Yan Wangxi was too rude, but he had to leave.
As soon as Lu Zhonglian left on his front foot, Yan Wangxi, who was already asleep, woke up and said with a grin: "This Lu Zhonglian, in vain with his kindness, set up a wine banquet to entertain him, and he actually wanted to bring trouble to Dayan." If you oppose King Qin's claim to be emperor, it is better to have a good time if you commit suicide by taking poison. (To be continued......)
