Chapter 384, Fusu Kaifu
When Fusu had not yet returned to Xianyang, Qin's rebuke of Zhao came to Handan. Gongsun Bai, as the envoy of Qin, did not give Zhao Wangqian the slightest face, and questioned Zhao Wangqian in a reprimanding tone in public, and the words were so fierce that he almost pointed at Zhao Wangqian's nose and scolded.
But this matter is indeed Li Mu's fault first, Zhao Guochao naturally has nothing to say, and can only endure the public humiliation of Gongsun Bai, and Zhao Wangqian, who was humiliated, is even more red-eyed, and the hatred for Li Mu in his heart is even greater.
Seeing that the court of Zhao State did not dare to speak, Gongsun Bai did not see that it was good, but continued to rise, and completely regarded Zhao Wangqian and Zhao as vassal states of Qin State, and even clamored for Zhao Wangqian to go to Xianyang to ask for Yingzheng's forgiveness.
is the so-called king humiliating the death of the minister, this kind of insult has made the ministers of the Zhao court unable to sit still.
"Qin envoy, do you still want to get out of the Zhao Kingdom?" A minister said angrily at Gongsun Bai.
Looking at the minister of Zhao who was eager to tear himself apart, Gongsun Bai just smiled faintly and said
"If you don't have the will to die, how dare you enter Zhao?"
When Guo Kai heard Gongsun Bai's words, he immediately signaled to Zhao Wangqian, who was on the verge of anger, to calm down, he had already seen that Gongsun Bai's goal was to seek death. Li Mu's interception of the Qin army is already unreasonable for the Zhao State, and now if he kills Gongsun Bai again, then the Qin State will have a more sufficient reason to attack the Zhao State.
Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai and gestured frantically, but Zhao Wangqian ignored it, he gritted his teeth, and was interrupted by Guo Kai just as he wanted to speak
"The Qin envoy is so bold, this matter is indeed the fault of our Zhao State, as for the matter of Xianyang asking for guilt, my Zhao King is the king of a country, how can I go to another country to ask for guilt, my Zhao State will definitely give Qin a reasonable answer, and ask the Qin envoy to return to the post station and wait for a while, and wait for my Zhao State to answer the Qin envoy!"
Gongsun Bai glanced at the ministers of Zhao who were angry and rushed to the crown, and then at Guo Kai, and couldn't help but look up to this traitor.
"Since this is the case, then the envoy is waiting for King Zhao's reply."
After speaking, Gongsun Bai left the Zhao court. After Gongsun Bai left, Zhao Wangqian and the ministers of Zhao State, who were in anger, directed their anger at Guo Kai, and one of the ministers just wanted to accuse Guo Kai, but Guo Kai preemptively said
"Please also ask the king to cure me for trespassing!"
"Guo Xiang still knows that he has trespassed!?" Zhao Wangqian smashed the piece next to him to Guo Kai and said.
"Of course the minister knows, but the minister would rather trespass than see the king fall for the tricks of the Qin State!" Guo Kai slammed his head on the ground and said solemnly.
Seeing Guo Kaixing such a big gift, the ministers on the side were stunned, and the anger in their hearts couldn't help but disappear by three points, Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked
"What kind of tricks does the Qin State have?"
"King Qiyu, the reason why the Qin envoy is pressing step by step is to beg for death! He wanted to use his death to gain an excuse for Qin to send troops to attack Zhao. Originally, Li Mu intercepted the army of Qin without authorization, which can be big or small, and we only need to express our attitude to make Qin have nothing to say, but if we kill the Qin envoy, it will be punished by the people of the world, and it will attract the endless attack of Qin State! Think twice! Guo Kai said word by word.
Hearing Guo Kai's words, Zhao Wangqian and the ministers of the Zhao State court were frightened into a cold sweat, the anger just now has disappeared, just now they were stimulated by Gongsun Bai's arrogant attitude and humiliating tone have become angry, lost their minds, and almost made a big mistake, the two countries are at war without slashing, not to mention that the two countries are not at war now.
"Guo Xiang invited, until the widow misunderstood Guo Xiang, if there is no Guo Xiang, my Zhao country will inevitably have a sword disaster." Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai gratefully and said.
"It's the duty of a minister." Guo Kai said.
For a while, the ministers in the court began to praise Guo Kai, even those who were not used to Guo Kai couldn't help but look at Guo Kai differently at this moment. Guo Kai naturally enjoyed this kind of flattery, not because he was calm and witty, but because Gongsun Bai's verbal stimulation was not enough for Guo Kai at all. Guo Kai was born in the market, and he didn't know how many insults he had heard, which was tens of thousands of times worse than what Gongsun Bai said, so naturally it didn't matter. As for what the king said about humiliating his ministers to death, Guo Kai didn't care even more, otherwise he wouldn't have betrayed Zhao Guo in secret.
"Then according to Guo Xiang, how should we respond to the reproach of the Qin State?" Zhao Wangqian asked.
Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangqian, Zhao Wangqian was slightly stunned and immediately understood what Guo Kai meant, Guo Kai wanted to implement his plan.
"The top priority is to see what is the bottom line of the Qin State first?"
"This matter will be handed over to Guo Xiang to do, and Guo Xiang will do it." Zhao Wangqian waved his hand and said.
"No!"
After the dissolution of Zhao's court, Guo Kai hurriedly went to Gongsun Bai, Gongsun Bai's attitude was very resolute, that is, King Zhao moved to Xianyang to admit his mistakes, then fight, Guo Kai was helpless, and could only rely on time to grind slowly.
In the Qin State, Gongsun Bai's affairs in the Zhao State were naturally transmitted back to the Qin State word for word, and Yingzheng even expressed Gongsun Bai's courage not to fear death in public.
In a palace in Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao was reading a letter sent by Gongsun Bai, which explained that during this time, the Zhao court was divided into two parts because of Gongsun Bai's toughness.
Some demanded that Li Mu be handed over in exchange for the forgiveness of the Qin State, while the other part was very strongly disagreeing to hand over Li Mu, the former was the forces of Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai, and the latter was the court power left by the original Zongzheng Zhao Tong, as well as the faction of the prostitutes.
"The queen of prostitution actually saved Li Mu to death, it seems that the queen of prostitution still has some brains." Han Fei put down the wine glass and touched his chin and said.
"How can a woman who can firmly grasp the heart of Zhao Wangyan from a Qinglou woman and sit firmly on the throne of King Zhao be a simple person, but the current development of the Zhao Dynasty has exceeded our expectations." Li Si said with some regret.
Gongsun Bai's tough attitude was naturally instructed by Yingzheng, not to start a war with Zhao State, but to disturb Zhao State. As for Gongsun Bai's safety, there is no need to worry, even if the Qin State faces the envoys of other countries, he does not dare to use swords and soldiers, after all, the Qin State has suffered losses in this regard. The Qin State still didn't dare, let alone the Zhao State?
If Zhao Guo really agreed to Qin Guo's request, it would not matter, after all, it was winter now, and they would still have a battle against the Right Xian King in the spring of the next year, so Zhao Guo was naturally not in a hurry. If Zhao Wangqian really came to Xianyang to ask for guilt, then this would be more useful than capturing ten cities in Zhao.
But now the Zhao court is arguing, and Gongsun Bai is still pouring oil on the side, which makes the Zhao court vaguely split, which is exactly what Qin is doing, after all, Qin does not have any spirit to wage war against Zhao now.
"The widow means to continue to drag on this matter, we have enough time, let Gongsun Bai stay in Zhao State to continue to disturb Zhao State, let it fight among itself, weaken Zhao State's national strength, and wait until we finish fighting the Youxian Wang Department, and free up our hands to fight Zhao State." Ying Zheng said.
"What the king said is reasonable, this is indeed a good choice, but the minister is afraid that it will be self-defeating, and if he can't get rid of Li Mu with the two things of the clan and the unauthorized use of troops, the minister is worried that it will be more difficult to get rid of Li Mu in the future." Lu Buwei said.
Thinking of Li Mu, Ying Zheng had a headache, obviously Qin State already had a great advantage over Zhao State, but Li Mu's existence has always been a thorn, so that Ying Zheng did not dare to be careless, winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak has not happened less, even if the national strength of Qin State is now far beyond Zhao State, but Li Mu's existence is still a danger.
If the Qin State really relies on its national strength to attack the Zhao State, and there is another Battle of Changping, although the Zhao State is destroyed, the Qin State itself will also be greatly weakened, which is not worth it for the Qin State at all. His own national strength was greatly weakened, so as to exchange for an unstable Zhao State, which was not a suitable deal.
"Wang Qian, what do you think of Li Mu?" Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and asked.
Wang Jian hesitated for a moment and said
"The minister can fight with Li Mu, but he doesn't dare to say a big victory, he can only say that he won a narrow victory!
For Li Mu's opponent, Wang Jian has always been very concerned, and Wang Qian, who has always been invincible, has suffered losses more than once in front of Li Mu. If it was the same military strength and national strength, Wang Jian didn't even dare to say that he could narrowly defeat Li Mu.
Ying Zheng nodded, Wang Jian can say that he can win, this is already great confidence.
"In the information sent back by Gongsun Bai just now, Gongzi Jia has been a little nervous recently, can we take advantage of it a little?" Lees suggested.
Hearing Li Si's proposal, everyone was stunned at first, and then found that there was indeed a great room for manipulation, and Li Mu belonged to the Gongzijia faction. After Gongzi Jia and Zhao Wangqian failed to compete for the throne, in order to protect themselves, they gradually faded out of the Zhao court, but according to the information of Qin Guoluowang, there were many people in the Zhao court who secretly contacted Gongzijia.
Originally, the three factions of Zhao Wangqian, Guo Kai and Empress Zhu worked together to control the entire Zhao court, but now because of Li Mu, there is a conflict between Empress Prostitute and Zhao Wangqian Guo Kai, which is a good opportunity for Gongzi Jia, but soon everyone rejected this proposal, even if they can't disturb Zhao State, then Li Mu must not be able to get the full support of Zhao State.
Once Gongzi Jia really took the opportunity to gain power in the Zhao court, it would be even more difficult for them to get rid of Li Mu. Zhao Wangqian is mediocre, but Gongzi Jia is still good.
"The minister proposes to maintain the status quo, and only need to continue to disturb the Zhao State and buy us time. As for Gongzijia, I think Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai will be the first to do it to him. Ziyou said.
Ying Zheng thought about it for a while and agreed, sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng understood better than others how attractive this throne was, this was the case with Cheng Huan at the beginning, and Gongzijia was the crown prince at the beginning, and he was only one step away from the throne, but he was taken away by King Zhao, and Gongzijia must be unwilling in his heart. And Zhao Wangqian naturally understands his unwillingness, as long as Gongzi Jia shows a little abnormality, Zhao Wangqian will definitely kill Gongzi Jia.
"Fusu will be back tomorrow." Ying Zheng said.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, everyone immediately understood that Ying Zheng wanted to be a strict father, but he also wanted to cultivate Fusu, and Fusu's return tomorrow was a good signal to officially show Ying Zheng's attitude to the entire Qin State.
After everyone dispersed this small meeting, Lü Buwei went to inform Chang Feng, who was in charge of ceremonies, that he would be in charge of tomorrow's prince.
The next day, outside Xianyang City, Lü Buwei, Ziyou and Feng Quji, led by hundreds of officials and a group of armor soldiers greeted Fusu outside the city, and when Fusu's carriage appeared, Fusu was inevitably frightened by the battle ahead.
In addition to the court etiquette and flags that greeted him belonged to the rank of the prince, the three princes and nine kings led hundreds of officials to greet them, which was a treatment that only Yingzheng had. What's more, one of the current three dukes is Lu Buwei, who is called the middle father by Ying Zheng, one is Ying Zheng's teacher Ziyou, and the other is Ying Zheng's absolute confidant, Feng Quji.
Baiguan naturally understood the signal released by Yingzheng in his heart, it has been almost ten years since they were born and designated as the crown prince, in order to wait until today, Yingzheng agreed to Fusu to enter the court.
"Bye!" With the Standing Order No. 1.
The three dukes led by Ziyou, Lü Buwei and Feng Quji saluted Fusu, and after Fusu stepped forward to help the three dukes, the minister behind him straightened up, and then Fusu entered Xianyang City under the support of hundreds of officials.
After today, some ministers began to secretly contact Fusu, but now Fusu has not opened a mansion, so they can't get in touch with Fusu, but this can't help them, there are many opportunities on the way from Fusu to Lü Buwei's mansion.
But Fusu did not go to Lü Buwei's mansion, but came to Ziyou's mansion.
"Young master, I probably thought about it when you asked me to eat fish cakes." Fusu said to Ziyou.
"How?" Ziyou asked.
"What the young master wants to say is that Fusu is the prince of Qin, the future lord of the world, Fusu has the right to refuse, and he has the right to let others eat this fishcake!" Fusu's eyes burst into a gleam and he said.
An invisible temperament is formed in Fusu's body, and if there are people who can look at luck, they will find that Fusu's body has begun to condense the luck that belongs to the emperor.
Ziyou looked at Fusu with satisfaction and spoke
"Remember your words, now that the king has allowed you to participate in the power of the court, what are you going to do now?"
"I want to apply to my father to open a mansion." Fusu said.
"Opening a mansion is not a trivial matter, and there are a lot of people needed, do you have the right candidate?" Ziyou asked.
"I'm going to let Xiao He be my East Palace Zhan Shi, and the concubines, horse washing and others haven't been determined yet." Fusu shook his head and said, although there are many talents in the Qin State, they are basically appointed by Yingzheng in various positions, and although Xiao He is now the manager of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Yingzheng intends to let Fusu temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, so Fusu will think about letting Xiao He be the Zhan of the East Palace.
"Xiao He is a good choice to serve as the East Palace Zhan Shi, as for the left and right concubines, you need to find them yourself, there is a person named Cao Shen in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, who can wash the horse for the prince." Ziyou said.
"Thank you for your advice." Fusu said.
The next day, Fusu's decree to open the palace was issued, and Fusu also moved out of the palace and settled in the prince's east palace, and the second generation of the helmsman of the chariot of Daqin was also officially established at this time.
