"Has anything changed since you came back from the fairy world?" Lu Zhonglian asked curiously. Many people in the country of Qi believe that there are immortals, such as Zou Yan, Heshang Gong and others, the most prosperous place in the world to cultivate immortals and alchemy is the country of Qi, and most of the gods in the Central Plains countries are from the country of Qi.

It may have something to do with the wealth of Qi State, after all, I can't afford to toss this thing without money. However, Lu Zhonglian is contrary to most Qi people, he doesn't believe in immortals very much, but he doesn't completely deny it, and has always maintained a respectful attitude.

I was still very curious to hear that King Yan was able to ascend to the immortal realm. You must know that Zou Yan has been to sea so many times, and he has never bumped into Xianshan once.

Now in Handan Academy, I am honestly studying how to steal the power of the Hu people's faith.

"I heard that King Yan Xiuxian has worked harder, and he used to take care of politics once every ten days and half a month, but now he hasn't taken care of politics for more than half a month." Liu Ping said.

"This is a good thing for Zhao Guo." Lu Zhonglian said with a smile. For Zhao State, there is no better news than the enemy monarch ignoring the government in order to cultivate immortals.

If the monarchs of the five kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Han, Wei, and Chu all learn from King Yan, it is estimated that Zhao will be able to dominate the world in a few years, and there will be no resistance.

"Not necessarily a good thing." Liu Ping shook his head,

"Under the governance of Jiangqu, the Yan Kingdom is gradually recovering its vitality, and if the King of Yan is in power, it is impossible to do a good job of Jiangqu." According to the intelligence, Yan Wang's guy was extravagant when he was the prince, and he was not as good as Qi Wangjian, at least Qi Wangjian was in good health, and he looked like he could live for a long time.

Lu Zhonglian frowned slightly, if this is the case, it is indeed a little difficult to do.

"Is there a way to separate the relationship between King Yan and Jiang Qu?"

"There's no way, I can't see King Yan at all now." Liu Ping shook his head. King Yan stays in the palace every day to cultivate immortals, and he must be able to see King Yan to be separated, and it is useless to see King Yan's mouth.

"What about the prince?" Lu Zhonglian said.

"Here's a way." Liu Ping's eyes lit up. He didn't expect such a simple solution. Yes, if King Yan can't do it, then look for the prince, how did Le Yi get rid of Tiandan back then?

King Yan Zhao trusts Le Yi, which does not mean that his son also trusts Le Yi. It's the same now, King Yan trusts Jiangqu, it doesn't mean that his son also trusts Jiangqu.

"In fact, you don't have to see King Yan, as long as you spend a lot of money to buy King Yan's inner servants, block Jiangqu a few times, don't let him see King Yan, and when it is not suitable, let Jiangqu meet King Yan, and in the long run, King Yan will gradually dislike Jiangqu." Zhao Kuo thought of Zhao Gao's method of separating Li Si and Hu Hai in history, and spoke.

It takes too long to start with the crown prince, and no one knows how long King Yan can live, maybe one or two years, or ten or eight years.

It is impossible for Zhao Guo to wait that long, it is best to get rid of Jiangqu, so that Zhao Guo can have less trouble when annexing Yan State.

It doesn't matter if you don't get rid of it, a general canal can't affect the overall situation, and it can't stop Zhao Guo's iron horse. If Zhao Guowei Wuji, Xunzi, and Lin Xiangru had so many people, several years of hard work, and so many generals and armies, who were blocked by Jiang Qu alone, everyone, including Zhao Kuo, could wipe their necks and commit suicide.

When Lu Zhonglian heard this, his body suddenly froze, and his gaze at Zhao Kuo was a little strange, it turned out that the king's skill in intrigue and intrigue was so profound.

"Reading history books these days, I suddenly thought of it." Zhao Kuo smiled awkwardly. Conspiracy is fine, but the monarch himself said it, and the truth is a bit not so above board.

"Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, what works is a good strategy." Lu Zhonglian naturally wouldn't ask which history book he didn't know.

"My subordinates will arrange it." Liu Ping said solemnly.

"The king, please stay too." Lu Zhonglian arched his hand and said.

"Lu Qing walks slowly." Zhao Kuo replied, turned around and returned to the palace, and continued to accompany his wife and children. These government affairs are too tiring, so it's better to leave them to others.

As a king, you should enjoy your blessings.

"Are there any new dishes in the Imperial Dining Room lately?" empty

"Stewed goose and braised pork ribs in an iron pot." The guard leaned over and said.

"Let the imperial dining room do a little more, and give a little taste to all the officials in Handan in the evening." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

"No." After Lu Zhonglian returned, he did not immediately summon the envoy of the Yue Kingdom. It wasn't until three days later that the envoy of the Yue Kingdom asked for a third meeting, and Lu Zhonglian held a banquet in the mansion to receive the other party.

"I'll talk about it after the feast is over." Lu Zhonglian said. The envoy of the Yue Kingdom was helpless, so he had to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and he accompanied Lu Zhonglian to finish eating, and then leaned over to ask how things were.

Lu Zhonglian sighed and told the other party that the grain of Zhao State was not abundant, and the king did not agree, but after he continued to say good things for Yue Guo, the king finally agreed, but he could only wait until after the summer harvest to have 500,000 stone grain and grass, and after the autumn harvest there was only 150,000 stone grain and grass left.

"Yes." The envoy of the Yue Kingdom hurriedly said that before he came, the Yue Jun told him that as long as there is food, it will be fine for a few months early and a few months later, but he must get food.

"In addition, Yue Guo wants to have two more strong men, this is what I promised in front of the king, if Yue Guo can't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the king." Lu Zhonglian took a sip of tea, looked at the envoy of the Yue Kingdom and said.

"A thousand strong men." The envoy of the Yue Kingdom gritted his teeth and said.

"Two thousand, Yue Guo doesn't even have food, what's the use of asking for so many strong men? They are all disobedient. Lu Zhonglian said slowly.

"Didn't you Zhao Guo also say that the food is not abundant, and you still need so many people. Not all of these captives are disobedient to discipline, they are all sold to you, and I am not busy in vain.

The envoy of the Yue Kingdom scolded in his heart, but he could only smile on his face.

"So isn't this coming to your country to buy grain, if the strong men are all given to Zhao Guo, there will be no need for me to buy grain in Yueguo, and Zhao Guo will not be able to get benefits from it." The envoy of the Yue Kingdom said.

"One thousand and five, plus the seven thousand, eight thousand and five strong, promised by the messenger, in exchange for two million stone grain and grass." Lu Zhonglian said.

"Okay, I promised, let's sign the paperwork." The envoy of the Yue Kingdom gritted his teeth and said. After the two sides agreed, Zhao Kuo came forward to invite the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, and then signed the document, and the matter was successfully concluded.

After the Yue envoy returned, he immediately led a fleet to send more than 8,000 captives to Zhao. Yue Guo didn't want to send it over so quickly, but people are different from other things, and it costs food to raise Yue Guo, so it is better to give it to Zhao Guo as soon as possible.

Zhao Guo did not play tricks, and after the summer grain was harvested, he immediately transported 500,000 stone grain and grass to Yue Guo. However, things did not go according to Lu Zhonglian's prediction.

The Yue Kingdom, which had received only grain and grass, not only did not choose to lie dormant and wait for the right time to return to the country. Instead, he immediately announced to the world that he would restore the country!
