Chapter 181 The princess
The monarch and ministers in the court of the Great Qin Dynasty secretly discussed what kind of conquest strategy had been formulated, so naturally it would not be known to outsiders. But from that day on, the Qin army stepped up preparations. Among them, the movements of several major generals still attracted the attention of the secret spies of various vassal states.
Wang Feng and his family's children, who were determined to avenge, did not get what they wanted. For some reason, the veteran was sent by the King of Qin to guard Hangu Pass in the southeast. At the same time, Meng Wu, a famous general from the Meng family, was transferred to the northern fortress to resist the threat from the barbarians in the northwest. All the troops around Feng'an were handed over to Shang Yunbai, who was known as the number one general of the Qin Dynasty. But Mu Xueqing, who had originally held this responsibility, disappeared inexplicably, and no one knew where he went.
Almost at the same time, missions from the Southern Han, Yan and Wei also entered Feng'an City one after another. After receiving the severe orders of the King of Qin, they finally could not withstand the huge pressure and were forced to transport gold to the people of Qin.
In this regard, the monarch and ministers of Qin fully demonstrated their nature as being called a country of tigers and wolves. After weighing the pros and cons, these three countries chose to surrender, and regarded it as losing money and avoiding disasters! If Qin turned against each other for 100,000 taels of gold, it would be more than worth the loss.
Afterwards, Qin sent envoys to Zhao again. They did not give Zhao people gold. The envoy brought Zhao King Chu Jiangmian only a word from the King of Qin.
"The two countries will stop their troops and live in peace. Qin will not shoot another arrow at Zhao within three years!"
This is the price of 400,000 taels of gold, and it is also the promise for Chu Jiangmian to bring back the message to the Qin delegation last time. During the three years of peace, both Qin and Zhao were the ones they needed most.
Although King Nie Feng of Qin had already listed Chu Jiangmian as a thorn in his heart that must be eliminated, in fact, he admired everything this young man did very much.
"If you have a son like this, you will be much worse than Chu Lie!"
This is what he lamented to his queen in private. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he understood it very well in his heart. Even the youngest son Nie Wushuang, whom he valued the most, would be far inferior to Chu Jiangmian. However, in this case, it would naturally not be spread.
That is, from now on, the Qin State has truly listed Zhao State as its most powerful enemy. In the past three years, they must achieve all the strategic goals set in order to defeat their opponents and destroy them in one go.
"Just relax! As long as the two strategies of Qi and Luocheng are successfully realized, Qin's great cause will be completed halfway! No matter how powerful Zhao is, what can he do when he is surrounded by all sides? Haha!"
"Jun Wu Pingjun let go! The Lone King has absolute confidence in you... Everything is done!"
Standing on the head of Feng'an City and watching the Qin cavalry leave quietly, Nie Feng, the Qin King, held his hand to comfort Wu Zi, his eyes full of encouragement. This person took action, no one in the world would never think where he would make a move! When the thunder suddenly sounded, maybe the overall situation had already been decided!
"With General Mu Xueqing's personal command, who can stop his thunder attack? King, please wait for the arrival of the victory news! The indecisive King Qi, hope that he won't be scared to pee his pants at that time... Haha!" The king and his ministers laughed at each other, feeling secretly proud of their wonderful chess moves like "flying swords from the sky". Since the King of Qi and his ministers were ignorant of the ruling and retreated their troops without authorization to ruin major events, they should receive serious punishment. Qi is known as the richest country among the princes in the world, so the Qin army will definitely gain extremely rich this time.
"The King of Qi is incompetent and lacks good generals under his command. I'm afraid that when the army comes to Canghai City, he will not have thought that this is the army of the Qin Dynasty, right?"
"Haha! Qin and Qi are thousands of miles apart, and there are several vassal states in the middle. Not only the King of Qi could not imagine, but how many ministers in Qi who only value interests could think of it? The King just wait for the good news."
The wind and clouds are scattered, and time is fast. In the blink of an eye, summer is almost over again. Since the war that shocked the world ended, the world has remained stable in the past few months.
During this period, there were endless envoys, whether it was the State of Zhao, Qin, Wei and other vassal states, through continuous negotiations and negotiations, they finally resolved the legacy of the war.
All the captured soldiers of Qin finally left Zhao and returned to Qin's land. In the past few months, they were not humiliated or tortured by the people of Zhao. On the contrary, not only did they have a good meal, but the King of Zhao also arranged some other things for them. Of course, this was not to do labor like the prisoners in the past, but to send some clerks in the army to explain some truths to them regularly.
Later, some of them even liked to participate in this activity that Zhao Jun called "class". The secretary of the Zhao Jun was obviously very awkward, and some of the principles were not explained so clearly. But even so, they still understood many things that they had never heard of before.
"King, the old minister is very confused. What's the use of writing so many words with great effort?"
"Don't worry, it may not be useful now, but it will definitely be of great use in the future!"
Chu Jiangmian answered the old prime minister's questions with a meaningful expression on his face. The other party said with a helpless expression with a wry smile.
"The old minister is increasingly unable to keep up with the king's footsteps. Now I remind myself every day to read and learn more, and ask if I don't understand... Just as the king said, learning is endless, and things are done by humans! However, I still feel confused about the many new things that appear in the king's hands! It is no exaggeration to say that the old minister has broadened his horizons in the past few months than what he has learned in the past many years!"
Fei Yi's tone was full of complex emotions. This was not his own feeling, but the common sighs deep in his heart by everyone from Wang Ting. The young King Zhao was so unique, and no one could explain what kind of miracles he would create.
"Actually, each of us needs to keep learning. As the saying goes, live until we grow old, learn until we grow old! Why should the Prime Minister be modest? You have done a good job. Without your help, I would probably be difficult to do anything."
"Your Majesty, you are too humble. According to what the old minister knows and hears, these things you have done are not just learned through learning, right? The so-called talent from heaven is born to know, the old minister didn't believe it very much before. But now, he believes it deeply! There are rumors outside that the king is a person who is the secret of heaven and is born to shoulder the welfare of the people of the world... If this is true, it would be so lucky that the old minister can do things for the king!"
Looking at Fei Yi's serious and serious expression, Chu Jiangmian reached out and rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless and a little ashamed. He didn't do much for the people of Zhao, and in such a short time, many of the measures he began to implement had not yet achieved any results. But even so, whether it was the people or inside and outside the court, there was a voice of gratitude and praise. In this relatively poor and chaotic world, he could get food and clothing, have a place to live, and not suffer from displaced. It was the greatest wish of ordinary people... When he thought of the sad scenes he had witnessed when he quietly went out to check the lives of the people with his own eyes, he felt that what he had done was far from enough.
"How can I get thousands of houses to shelter all the poor people in the world and be happy!... Prime Minister, everyone! I hope everyone will work hard with me and truly achieve this goal one day!"
"The king's mind is beyond his reach! Do you dare not do your best to do your best to work hard for the sake of your dog and horse?"
Headed by the Prime Minister Fei Yi, all the people present fell to the ground and burst into tears. They had never heard of a king who had once sighed like this for the hard-working sentient beings. From now on, even if he dies for such a person, it is worth it!
"King, Lanlingjun has invited me several times to ask the king to go to his mansion to have a banquet! I wonder if I have time tonight?...Haha!"
The minister of the Shang Dynasty, Zi Zhong, quietly approached his side, and the smile on his face seemed a little mysterious. Only he and a very small number of people knew that recently, King Zhao Chu Jiangmian was having some troubles about this matter.
"Oh! Master Shang, I've been busy with government affairs these days, that... Otherwise, you go and tell him, how many days will it take?"
Chu Jiangmian rubbed his forehead hard again, feeling the excuse he said, and even he felt a little funny. But he really couldn't find any other reason to shirk it. Zi Zhong blinked and whispered.
"King, it's a bit unreasonable to make excuses to not go? Isn't it true? Anyway, I am really embarrassed to tell him... Speaking of which, Lanlingjun spent a huge amount of money to buy a mansion in Longcheng for the cooperation between Zhao and Qi, with the purpose of getting the guidance of the king at any time. However, the king has refused to come. He complained in my ear over and over again, which has caused obstacles to my handling of economic exchanges with Qi. Alas! The king should not delay it anymore."
Zi Zhong tried his best to make a serious expression so as not to accidentally reveal the snickering in his heart. No matter what, he always had to maintain the majesty of King Zhao. Although in this matter, King Zhao's performance did not meet the "hard decision" they remembered.
Chu Jiangmian didn't have to go and knew what the doctor's expression was clearly about the whole story. Do you have to go there? He felt a little bit of a headache again.
Of course, there is nothing scary about going to Lanlingjun’s mansion as a guest. The reason why the young King Zhao could feel the headache was that he was alone.
To be precise, it was a woman.
