The so-called etiquette of three resignations and three concessions was not uncommon before the Warring States period. As early as in "Zhou Li", there is this saying. It's just that in this Warring States era, no one has taken it to heart.

This suddenly made Zhao Kuo pick it up again, but it really felt a little like a different world, and even unbelievable.

Perhaps, among the ministers of Zhao State, there may be many people who are willing to believe that what Zhao Kuo said is from the bottom of his heart.

However, there is certainly nothing like this.

Lin Xiangru, who thought that what he should have done had come to an end, also looked at Zhao Kuo helplessly, he knew that this scene had to be continued.

That's it! Let me get on the horse and take it for another ride.

Lin Xiangru stepped forward slowly, his originally ruddy face had gradually faded after standing for a long time, and even his steps forward were a little staggering.

Clenching his fists with both hands, Lin Xiangru said slowly: "Yan Guo has invaded my capital, my king has collapsed, and this Zhao country is in a difficult moment." Fortunately, there is Zhao Kuo of the clan, who turned the tide and drove away Yan Yu, and can be called the country's cadres. ”

"Shangqing." Zhao Kuo still wants to resign.

But Lin Xiangru raised his hand slightly, interrupting Zhao Kuo's words.

It's not that Lin Xiangru doesn't want to complete the "three resignations and three concessions" drama for Zhao Kuo, it's just that Lin Xiangru knows very well that his current body is no longer enough to support Zhao Kuo's three resignations and three concessions.

Especially if you add the time of retiring from the house, I'm afraid he really can't wait for that time.

Rather than miss the opportunity, it is better to take advantage of this concession and settle things completely.

Trying to calm the churning qi and blood in his chest, Lin Xiangru continued: "Today's Zhao State, although there is the victory of Changping, and revenge and Anping City, but the danger of Beihu has not yet been able to go, and the trouble of Western Qin is still in the ears, and the provocation of Yan State is even more in front of you. The danger of Zhao is also known to people of insight. ......"

"Ahem......"

As he was talking, Lin Shangqing suddenly coughed violently.

This cough suddenly startled Pingyuanjun on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Shangqing.

Lin Xiangru waved his hand, but continued: "I, Zhao State, if I advance, I will fight for hegemony, and if I retreat, I will follow in the footsteps of Song State, and it will be divided by all countries." ”

"Ahem......"

As he spoke, Lin Xiangru coughed again. This time, even Zhao Kuo on the side noticed the abnormality, and many ministers behind him hurriedly surrounded him.

"Shangqing ......"

"Shangqing ......"

An urgent call surrounded Lin Xiangru's side.

Lin Shangqing is now Zhao Guoding's seagod-like existence, and he must not have something happen at this critical juncture. Apparently all the ministers understand this.

Fortunately, Lin Shangqing did not fall down here.

Still waving his hand slightly, Lin Xiangru continued: "In my Zhao State clan, there is no one who has the right of a general in terms of virtue, deeds, merit, and prestige. Only at this moment of survival, the general must not excuse himself any more. ”

"I will definitely lead my millions of children out of today's predicament!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiangru paused again and said: "May the general be the king, with the hearts of the people, with the will of the ministers, and to protect the peace of the family and the country." ”

"Bow to the general, stand in the south, ascend the throne and become king!" As he spoke, Lin Xiangru fell to the ground.

Hearing Lin Xiangru's words, the hundred officials behind him naturally fell to the ground in unison, repeating: "Bow to the general, stand in the south, and ascend the throne and be the king!" ”

The neat and neat voice, like a red and swollen Lu, resounded in the council hall of this Longtai Palace, and it has not dispersed for a long time.

Zhao Kuo knew that with Lin Xiangru's words, the set of "three words and three lets" he prepared was completely unnecessary.

If it is postponed more, it will be a subordinate that does not dare to take responsibility.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said slowly: "For the sake of Zhao Guoji, I will follow the request of the secretary of state and ascend the throne on the same day." ”

Lin Xiangru, who heard the words, suddenly showed a satisfied smile, worthy of being the person he chose, he was unambiguous when he should make a move, this is the responsibility that a king should have!

Immediately, Lin Xiangru took two steps back with Pingyuan Jun, Yu Qing and others, and then used all his strength to say: "Pay homage to the new king." ”

When the ministers heard this, they all bowed down to the ground again!

Lin Xiangru, who is obviously lacking in qi in "worship", is carried in front.

"Bye-bye!" After speaking, Lin Shangqing took the lead again and fell to the ground!

Zhao Kuo was about to excuse himself, but Lin Xiangru used his last strength to interrupt Zhao Kuo's words again!

"Three bows!" As he spoke, Lin Shangqing fell to the ground again, with a "bang", almost grabbing the ground with his head!

Although the ministers were shocked in their hearts, they didn't make more moves, and they followed their Lin Shangqing and bowed to Zhao Kuo three times.

The three prostrations have been completed, and it is for the sake of success.

Zhao Kuo announced that he was invited to get up, and took two steps forward, and together with Pingyuan Jun, he helped Lin Shangqing, who was still kneeling on the ground, up. But I saw that Lin Shangqing's face, which was originally a little bloody, was now white, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept coming out of his forehead.

Obviously, Lin Shangqing has reached the point of dying, and the so-called ruddy face before now seems to be a return to the light.

Only then did Zhao Kuo understand that this old man was using his life to push himself to the top.

No wonder his words are so out-of-the-box; No wonder he would prevent his resignation; No wonder......

It turned out that everything was in his old man's hands. Looking at the face that was as white as gold paper, Zhao Kuo couldn't hold back any longer, hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiangru's somewhat withered hand, and roared to the side: "Quickly pass the doctor!" ”

Zhao Kuo's words were not big, but they woke up the Zhao ministers on the side one after another, and even they crawled and squeezed to Lin Shangqing's side, calling for Shangqing's name in a low voice.

It's like a child who is about to lose a parent.

For a while, above the main hall, the sound of whimpering and crying was even worse than when King Zhao collapsed!

Lin Shangqing refused to let Zhao Kuo hold his hand, his fingers trembled and pointed to the throne of the head, and he said intermittently: "Three bows, it has been completed, the ceremony is completed!" Please, please my king, my king quickly, ascend the throne, the throne! ”

Pingyuan Jun obviously understood Lin Shangqing's thoughts the most, wiped the tears on his face slightly, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Please ask my king to ascend the throne quickly!" Don't make Shangqing ...... with regret"

"Please ask my king to ascend the throne quickly!" The ministers on the side also immediately bowed one after another.

Zhao Kuo understood what Lin Shangqing and the ministers meant, wiped away his tears, took a step, and walked towards the throne.

One step, two steps, three steps......

Zhao Kuo finally slowly ascended to the high platform that belonged only to the king, then turned around, lifted his robe, and sat on the throne. Quietly looking at the ministers below.

"Meet the new king!" Lin Xiangru broke free from the arms of Pingyuan Jun and bowed three times again!

Behind him, the king of the plains also led the ministers to follow the new king three times.

Only this time, Lin Xiangru never got up again......

It should have been a very complicated rebuke, but Lin Shangqing made it simple at the cost of his own life, and even paved Zhao Kuo's road to the throne extremely solid.

From then on, if anyone questioned Zhao Kuo's accession to the throne, they were questioning Lin Xiangru - a real minister who had died with all his might.

Under Lin Xiangru's return to the light, the situation that should have been turbulent was successfully and smoothly completed.

At this point, Zhao completely formed a new situation of political and military power centered on Zhao Kuo.

In terms of military generals, Zhao Kuo himself has a great prestige, and the generals under his command are even more like one, and Lin Xiangru did not make any further arrangements;

In terms of Wenchen, a plain monarch who is the first to advocate the monarch is enough to leave a deep impression on Zhao Kuo's heart. It can be regarded as before he died, and arranged another Dinghaishen needle for the court of Zhao State.

Of course, even if Lin Xiangru stabilized the situation of Zhao at the cost of his own life, Zhao's situation did not fundamentally change. As Lin Shangqing himself said, the only one who can change all this is the new king of Zhao State, Zhao Kuo.

After burying Zhao Wangdan and Lin Shangqing, Zhao Kuo didn't even have time to ascend the throne with great fanfare, as if it was deliberate, the envoys of Yan State, together with the envoys of Qin, Wei and Han, came to Handan City.

Zhao Kuo immediately ushered in the first test for him to become King Zhao.

Needless to say, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom must have come for the truce; The envoys of the other three countries came to Handan in the name of condolences.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that these three kingdoms are actually headed by the Qin State, and how can it be so easy and simple for the Qin envoy to come?

Obviously, the envoy of the Qin State is here to pull the bias.

Of course, in order to convince Qin Guo, Yan Guo also pretended to be a little brother.

King Qin even directly gave King Yan a letter of state, saying that it was a letter of state, but it was more appropriate to say that it was an order.

At the beginning of the national letter, he scolded King Yan with his head and face: When Lao Tzu and Zhao Guo were fighting for their family in the party, why didn't you send troops when they shouted that you would send troops? When Lao Tzu lost, he remembered to fight with Zhao Guo!

Well, just hit it! You can also fight well, two games in a row, both with more and less, how to fight back and forth, you are about to be beaten, and others are like no one.

What's more important is that you said that you will fight if you fight, what is the situation when you clean up the king of Zhao?

Do you want revolutionary friendship and class friendship?

Tell me if you deserve to die!

After venting fiercely, King Qin proposed a solution - no matter what, you are our little brother, we can't watch our little brother being overturned......

I'm also shaking people here, so let's arrange for someone to go to Handan as soon as possible. Strive for us to press the matter on the negotiating table, no matter how strong Zhao Guo is, he can't turn his face with several of our big countries at the same time.

So, with the appeasement of his big brother, King Yan relieved his heart and sent an envoy to Handan, hoping to solve the problem in the form of negotiations.

At the beginning, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom was quite honest, and it could be regarded as a reason. But with the arrival of the Qin envoys and the envoys of Han and Wei, the envoys of the Yan State who came to seek peace actually kicked their noses in the face a little, and for a while it was unclear whether Zhao Guo won or he Yan Guo won? !

Negotiations reached an impasse in an instant......

Some people died, but not completely......
