After the new King of Yan succeeded to the throne, he immediately used his hatred of Zhao as a tool to unite Yan and pacify the hearts of the Yan people.

The six countries, including Qin, excluding Zhao, were also happy to see the revival of a Yan State that hated Zhao, so they secretly gave Yan a lot of help.

Therefore, the Yan State quickly eased up, and there was a lot of friction on the border with the Zhao State.

Yan Guo thought that he had relieved himself, and he wanted to be ashamed and attack Zhao Guo for revenge. Zhao Guo no longer has a general, and the army is led by a little-known old man, and he actually defeated Yan Guo. Cai Ze's face was full of disdain, and he almost didn't say bluntly that Yan Guo was wasted, "However, Zhao Guo's troops have also been consumed a lot, and it is difficult to maintain the expenses of the three northern counties." ”

Zhu Xiang couldn't help but sneer: "King Zhao can't maintain the expenses of the three northern counties, does he want Wei Wuji to raise money and food for him?" ”

Cai Ze said: "After Xinlingjun went to Zhao State, although the food in Wei was taken back by King Wei, King Zhao provided him with the same food estate. Perhaps King Zhao wanted to replace Xinlingjun's food with the three northern counties. ”

Zhu Xiang rolled his eyes fiercely: "He really can think of it." ”

Cai Ze said: "If he doesn't think so, Lin Zhen will let him think so." Lin Zhen is the son of Lin Xiangru, although he is already the prime minister of Qin, but Zhao people also believe that he still cares about Zhao. ”

Cai Ze sighed, and continued: "What's more, his move is indeed for the good of Zhao Guo. Apart from Wei Wuji, who else can defend Zhao Guo? It's only been a few years? The Hu people in the north are ready to move again. Could it be that Zhao Guo wants the Hu people to come in? That would be much more humiliating than being destroyed by the Qin State. ”

Even if the five countries of the Central Plains looked down on Qin and Chu, they also knew that Qin and Chu were "their own people" and were different from the Hu people. Therefore, no matter how mediocre the monarch was, he never thought of letting the Hu people participate in their Central Plains competition, and the expulsion of the Hu people has always been an important military matter.

Therefore, when King Zhao can't hold the three northern counties, it is very likely that he will let Xinling Jun find a way.

With his prestige and talent, Xinlingjun is indeed the only person who has a way to hold the three northern counties of Zhao State and not drag Zhao State down.

When Cai Ze and Zhu Xiang talked about Xinlingjun, Lin Zhen had already met Xinlingjun.

"This is Li Mu's experience in running Yanmen County, as well as the letters he wrote to some important generals in Yanmen." Lin Zhen solemnly handed over a lacquer box to Xinling Jun himself, "I will definitely let you make your trip this time." ”

Wei Wuji took the heavy lacquer box and sighed, "Let Zhu Xiang bother again." ”

Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "He asked for it." He's not just for you, either. Zhu Xiang was in the Qin State, and he was still thinking about Zhao Ren in his heart. ”

Wei Wuji asked, "What about you?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Although I am far more favored by Zhao Guo than Zhu Xiang, I actually remember Zhao people more than Zhu Xiang in my heart. We are scholars, and we are officials in any country. ”

Listening to Lin Zhen's words, Wei Wuji didn't like it in his heart, but he was helpless.

Because Lin Zhen is telling the truth.

"But Zhu Xiang trusts you, but I'm curious if you can guard the three northern counties." Lin Zhen said, "King Zhao will definitely reduce his support, you have to run the three northern counties by yourself like Li Mu did back then, and go to the grassland to go north to grab food." Can you, a pampered prince, really do it? ”

Wei Wuji was not angry because of Lin Zhen's provocation, he said lightly: "I don't know. ”

Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows again: "Oh? ”

Wei Wuji said: "I haven't done it, so I don't know." The only thing I know is that if I decide to do something, I'll do my best to do it. ”

Lin Zhen said: "In other words, even if you don't do it well, you must have done your best." ”

Wei Wuji said, "Yes." ”

Lin Zhen said: "Then I will rest assured." ”

He bowed his hand: "Please wait for the good news." ”

Lin Zhen left Xinlingjun's mansion and went to Pingyang Jun's mansion Zhao Bao's mansion.

Zhao Bao is already dying, and he can't get up.

When he heard that Lin Zhen was visiting in private, he still held on to his sick body and came to the door to greet Lin Zhen in person.

"Lin Qing......" Zhao Bao held Lin Zhen's hands and couldn't cry, "You're back, Lin Qing." ”

Lin Zhen looked at Zhao Bao calmly for a while, then sighed and said, "Pingyang Jun, it's me, Lin Zhen, it's not that my father is back." ”

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, and then cried like a child.

Zhao Bao's son wiped his tears with embarrassment on his face, and explained for Zhao Bao: "My father is a little confused, please don't blame Prime Minister Lin." ”

"Pingyang-jun is also my elder, how can I blame him?" Lin Zhen said, "Pingyang Jun, it's me, Lin Zhen is back." I'm here for Shinling-kun. ”

Zhao Bao cried for a long time, and his eyes were clearer.

He looked at Lin Yi blankly: "Lin Zhen, it's Lin Zhen." What are you doing here? Angered Lin Qing again? I told you a long time ago, dress well, don't be idle, I'll go and talk to the king, arrange a position for you......"

Lin Zhen knelt in front of Zhao Bao, put his hand on the back of Zhao Bao's hand, and said, "Pingyang Jun, I am already the prime minister of Qin. ”

Zhao Bao was stunned again.

After a while, he said with pain on his face: "Yes, you are the prime minister of Qin State, I remember." ”

Zhao Bao finally came to his senses.

His cloudy eyes stared at Lin Zhen, and then looked away painfully: "Prime Minister of Qin, what are you doing in Handan?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Zhu Xiang is concerned about the Zhao people, and hopes that Xinlingjun can go to guard the three northern counties of the Zhao country, so as not to prevent the Zhao people from being slaughtered by the Hu people." ”

Zhao Bao said: "I know." It's time for King Zhao to make up his mind. I'll push it again. ”

Lin Zhen said: "Xie Pingyangjun." ”

Zhao Bao moved his gaze back and asked, "Zhu Xiang is still concerned about Zhao Ren, what about you?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "As a scholar, I don't value the common people as much as Zhu Xiang. ”

Zhao Bao said: "It's not for Zhao people, do you still care about Zhao Guo?" ”

The corners of Lin Zhen's mouth rose, and he seemed to smile and said: "Father cares about Zhao Guo, but I deeply hate King Zhao." ”

Zhao Bao closed his eyes: "I know." Let's go. ”

Lin Zhen said: "I only hate King Zhao, not Zhao Guo." So I went back to Handan so that the Zhao State would not be occupied by the Hu people before it was destroyed by the Qin State. The Qin State destroyed Zhao, and the vassal states ruled the world. If the Hu people kill Zhao, it will be a shame. ”

He stood up, and without waiting for anyone to see him off, he turned and left.

After a while, Zhao Bao opened his eyes and sighed: "Yes." ”

Zhao Bao's son stood beside Zhao Bao with his eyes down, his face sad.

When his father was sober, he was worried about King Zhao, and when he was confused, he asked his brother Pingyuanjun, Shangqing Lin Xiangru and General Lian Po where they were. If he was even more confused, he would drive to Lin Xiangru and say that Lin Xiangru had a great talent named Zhu Xiang, and he had to recommend it to his brother and King Zhao.

He didn't know if his father was more painful when he was awake or more painful when he was confused.

After Lin Zhen met Zhao Bao, he went to meet other familiar doctors and clans in Zhao State.

Soon, the fact that the prime minister of Qin came to Handan has become an open secret.

After King Zhao learned about it, he hesitated for a long time, but he still followed his heart and summoned Lin Yi into the palace.

Lin Zhen went forward without fear, not at all worried that King Zhao would detain him.

It doesn't matter if Qin doesn't have him, but if Zhao dares to detain him, Qin's troops will come to Handan City again.

Zhao Wang, who had protruding cheekbones and sunken cheeks, stared at Lin Yi quietly for a while, and then said, "You look more and more like Lin Qing." ”

Lin Zhen said respectfully: "I am the son of my father, of course I am like my father." ”

King Zhao asked, "Are you already Lin Xiangru of the Qin State?" ”

Lin Yi said: "No. The Qin State does not need Lin Xiangru. ”

Seeing that King Zhao was puzzled, Lin Zhen said: "Zhao is weaker than Qin, and my father has worked hard all his life to survive Zhao under the soldiers of Qin. And the Qin State is strong, so it doesn't need to be like Lin. I'm just Lin Zhen, the prime minister of Qin. ”

King Zhao's face changed drastically. The attendants beside him also changed their faces greatly, and they couldn't help but reprimand Lin Zhen for being unreasonable.

Lin Zhen said arrogantly: "I am the prime minister of the Qin State, what are you, dare to reprimand me?" ”

King Zhao waved his hand and told the attendant to shut up.

"It's his rudeness, Qin Guo...... Prime minister. King Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Is Zhu Xianggong good?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Zhu Xiang and Li Mu seized Southern Chu as Southern Qin, and now they are reclamation south of the river. Wherever he was, he would plant his land, regardless of political affairs. ”

King Zhao's expression was a little dazed: "Yes, Zhu Xianggong will only plant his land, and he doesn't ask...... Political affairs. ”

So he actually doesn't need to be jealous and jealous of Zhu Xiang at all.

A common man without a foundation, a common man who does not like political affairs and can only farm the land, if he promotes Zhu Xiang, he is Zhu Xiang's only backer and benefactor, and Zhu Xiang will definitely be loyal to him, more than anyone else.

But he wanted to put Zhu Xiang to death.

Looking back now, King Zhao didn't understand why he did that at the time.

Why did he kill Zhu Xiang, why was he jealous of Zhu Xiang? He didn't understand it at all.

King Zhao didn't know what else he could ask.

Lin Zhen said that he was just the prime minister of Qin, and King Zhao had nothing to say to Lin Zhen.

He couldn't do anything to Lin Zhen, because Lin Zhen was the prime minister of Qin, and Zhao didn't dare to be rude to the prime minister of Qin.

Therefore, he could only reward Lin Zhen with some property to show his respect for the King of Qin, and then respectfully send Lin Zhen away.

Before leaving, Lin Zhen said to King Zhao: "It is Zhu Xiang's hope to let Xinling Jun defend the border." He believes that at present, the only young general in Zhao who can lead the army is Xin Lingjun. And King Zhao is definitely unwilling to let Xinlingjun become the general of Zhao, so why not let Xinlingjun take the border? In this way, Xinling Jun can make a difference, and Zhao Guo does not have to worry about which general to send to the Northland. ”

King Zhao's eyes lit up: "Is it really what Zhu Xianggong said?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Yes." Except for Zhu Xiang, who can say that Gongzi Wei will defend the border for Zhao State? This is unreasonable, only he can do. ”

King Zhao said excitedly: "I see, I see!" The widow knows! ”

Lin Zhen said in his heart, the last place has been settled, and the chess game has been decided.

He can go back to Qin.

When he leaves Xianyang City again, I'm afraid Xia Tong will already be the king of Qin.

I hope that Zhu Xiang and him will not lose Xia Tong, a friend.

Chapter 156: The First Emperor's Cub Ink Marks

I heard that Zhu Xiang had returned to Xianyang, and many people wanted to visit Zhu Xiang.

Hearing that Qin Wangzhu drove to Zhuxiang Zhuangzi, those who wanted to visit Zhu Xiang immediately gave up.

They kept sighing in private, even though Zhu Xianggong had been away from Xianyang for so long, King Qin still trusted and loved him as always.

When Qin Wangzhu came to Zhu Xiang Zhuangzi, Zhu Xiang was being scolded by Xunzi.

Qin Wangzhu was holding his sick body and crutches to come to see Zhu Xiang to be scolded, laughing all the way, and even his spirit was much better.

Zhu Xiang looked at Qin Wangzhu's eyes with a very resentful look.
