Chapter 135 Showing off each other’s acting skills
Zhang Beichen didn't express his position at all, but was scolded by Zhao Yun.
In the next few days, he requested to meet King Zhao several times, but Zhao Yun rejected his request. Her attitude was already obvious, and she did not want to form an alliance with Qin.
"Sir, King Zhao does not want to form an alliance with us, what should we do?" The subordinates did not know the plan of Zhang Beichen and others, and were still worried.
Zhang Beichen said: "In this case, you will visit Prime Minister Tian Buyi with me tomorrow to see if there is anything we can do."
"Tian Buyi, can he do anything?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Of course there will be a way." Zhang Beichen smiled mysteriously.
His real purpose was Gongzi Hua, but to approach Gongzi Hua directly would easily arouse the other party's alert. All the ministers of Zhao State thought that as an envoy of Qin State, he was not familiar with the situation of Zhao State.
Who would have thought that Zhang Beichen knew everything about the situation in Zhao State?
The next day, at the residence of Tian Buyi, Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, a servant came to report: "Master, Zhang Beichen, the envoy of the State of Qin, has come to visit."
"Zhang Beichen? Come to visit me?" Tian Buyi thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."
"yes!"
Zhang Beichen and others entered the house and met Tian Buyi.
"When I was in the Qin State, I heard about the Prime Minister's name. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary." Zhang Beichen praised.
"How can I compare with Prime Minister Qin?" Tian Buyi said, "Prime Minister Qin has already received the seal of the Three Kingdoms at such a young age! Such an achievement makes others envious!"
After the two exchanged rainbow farts, they started to get into the theme.
Zhang Beichen suddenly sighed, and Tian Buyi asked deliberately: "Is Mr. Qin worried about something?"
Zhang Beichen sighed: "I came to Zhao State on the order of King Qin, hoping to promote an alliance between Qin and Zhao. But King Zhao seemed to ignore me at all. How can I return to the country to resume my life?"
Tian Buyi said: "The Qin State is weak, and the Zhao State does not want to offend the Wei State by forming an alliance. It is absolutely impossible for my king to agree to this matter."
Zhang Beichen asked: "Is there no other way? Before I went on my mission, King Qin promised that if Qin and Zhao could form an alliance, Qin would be willing to offer the city as a sign of friendship."
Tian Buyi thought to himself that from the perspective of interests, Zhao State would definitely not form an alliance with Qin State. But it would not be a bad idea if he could prostitute a few cities of Qin State for free.
He pretended to hesitate and said, "Actually, it's not impossible."
Zhang Beichen asked quickly: "Please give me your advice, Prime Minister. If this matter can be accomplished, I, the State of Qin, will certainly give you a heavy gift!"
Tian Buyi then said: "Prime Minister Qin might as well go to Gongzihua and try."
Zhang Beichen asked in confusion: "Gongzihua, is King Zhao's younger brother?"
"Exactly!" Tian Buyi nodded.
"But what role can he play in this kind of thing?" Zhang Beichen asked.
Tian Buyi said with a smile: "Prime Minister Qin doesn't know. Although the king of Zhao is apparently in charge of the Zhao Kingdom now, the real big decisions are made by his father, King Zhao Ling!"
"And Young Master Hua is deeply loved by my father. If he can speak for Prime Minister Qin, my father may agree to form an alliance with Qin!"
Zhang Beichen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly thanked Tian Buyi and gave Tian Buyi a precious gift.
After Zhang Beichen said goodbye, Tian Buyi immediately went to Gongzihua's house to inform him of the incident.
Young Master Hua asked doubtfully: "Prime Minister, there is no benefit in forming an alliance with Qin. Why should I agree to it?"
Tian Buyi said: "Sir, you can think of it this way. Even if we don't fight against Qin, Wei and other countries will still want to annex it!"
"We have obtained Qin's city, but we will turn our backs and refuse to admit it. It is Zhao Yun who betrayed the covenant, so what does it have to do with the young master?"
"This matter is of great benefit and no harm to the young master! It just so happens that the young master can gain a lot of benefits from the state of Qin, and he can also win the trust of his father!"
Young Master Hua suddenly realized it and said, "The Prime Minister's brilliant plan!"
Tian Buyi stressed again: "Young Master, please don't agree to Zhang Beichen too easily. You have to hang him up. It's Qin that's anxious now, not us. The longer you hang up, the more benefits Qin will give you!"
"I know!" Gongzihua secretly remembered it in his heart.
…
Sure enough, Zhang Beichen came to visit Gongzihua a few days later and explained his purpose.
Gongzihua looked embarrassed and said: "After all, this is what King Zhao has decided. What ability do I have to change it?"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Beichen immediately sent gifts, including war horses, swords and jewelry from Qin.
Young Master Hua was secretly happy, but he still pretended to be hesitant and said, "Envoy Qin, don't be impatient. I'll go to your father-in-law first to find out what he thinks."
Both of them are acting.
Zhang Beichen stayed in Zhao for a month and visited Gongzihua three times, but failed to make any progress. Gongzihua's attitude has always been ambiguous, and Zhang Beichen promised him more and more benefits.
Zhang Beichen also came out of his mouth. Anyway, he didn't intend to actually give it. If you dare to ask for it, I will give it to you!
When Zhang Beichen saw that the play was almost finished, he immediately sent a letter to Wei Yao and asked her to start acting.
…
Therefore, Wei State sent an army to conduct drills on the border between Wei State and Zhao State, pretending to attack Zhao State.
This move immediately made Zhao Guo panic.
In the court, Yan Fang said: "Your Majesty, the State of Wei heard that we wanted to form an alliance with the State of Qin, and sent troops to practice day and night on the border. If we do not drive away the Qin envoys, the State of Wei is likely to attack our State of Zhao!"
Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "Wei State, do you really think Guhui is afraid of them? Although Wei State is strong, our Zhao State is not a weak country!"
Tian Buyi suggested: "Your Majesty, our State of Zhao naturally has the confidence to resist the State of Wei. But it doesn't end there!"
Another minister suggested: "Yes, since the king does not want to form an alliance with Qin, just drive away the Qin envoys to avoid another war!"
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "This is very good. Pass it on and let the Qin envoy leave Zhao within a month!"
"Then the Wei State has to defend itself. Let Xinnan lead the army to defend the Wei Army!"
"As you command!"
…
The news soon "reached" Zhang Beichen's ears, and Zhang Beichen went to see Gongzihua again.
As soon as they met, Zhang Beichen said: "Young Master, as long as you are willing to form an alliance with Qin to resist Wei, Qin is willing to help you ascend the throne and become the King of Zhao!"
Young Master Hua was startled and said quickly: "Qin envoy's words are bold!"
Zhang Beichen said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "The King of Zhao treated Qin like this, which is an insult to the King of Qin!"
"She, Zhao Yun, is the king of Zhao, but her actions depend on Wei Guo's face. Can the young master tolerate this?"
Young Master Hua said coldly: "Of course I can't stand it."
"That's it!" Zhang Beichen encouraged, "I have been getting along with the young master recently, and I found that the young master is far superior to Zhao Yun in terms of ability, talent and moral character! Moreover, the young master is deeply loved by his father, so the position of the king of Zhao should be the young master.
of!"
"Master, if you are interested, this is the best opportunity!"
"What do you mean by this?" Gongzihua asked.
Zhang Beichen analyzed: "As far as I know, Zhao Yun's troops are all controlled by Xinnan. If Wei is exercising on the border, Xinnan's troops will be sent to defend. It can be said that Zhao Yun has almost no personal soldiers around!
"
"There are many ministers in the court who support the young master. As long as the young master is willing and unites with them, Zhao Yun will surely abdicate!"
"We, the State of Qin, are also willing to send an elite army to the State of Zhao to help the young master succeed!"
He said that Young Master Hua's heart was moved. He had already coveted the throne and had been waiting for the opportunity.
At present, Zhao Yun's cronies have been distracted by Wei Guo, and Qin Guo is willing to help him. It seems that he really has a chance!
"Young Master, I need to think carefully about this matter. You must not disclose this matter, otherwise..." Young Master Hua's eyes turned cold and he made a murderous move.
Zhang Beichen nodded carefully.
…
After returning to his residence, his subordinate asked worriedly: "Sir, will Mr. Hua agree? This is treason!"
"He will agree!" Zhang Beichen smiled confidently, "If he wants the throne, he only needs others to persuade him and tell him that the time has come! I don't believe it, he can sleep tonight!"
…
Young Master Hua tossed and turned and thought all night.
The next day, he couldn't help but call Yan Fang and Tian Buyi to discuss.
He originally thought that the two of them would dissuade him, but Yan Fang said: "This is indeed the best time. Zhao Yun has no soldiers. As long as we act quickly, even if Xinnan comes back to help, it will not be in time!"
Tian Buyi said: "It's just right for Qin to participate! We took Qin's benefits, and Qin sent troops to kill King Zhao!"
"At that time, the young master can pass the crime of killing King Zhao to the state of Qin. Morally, the young master has no fault! Even if the young master ascends the throne, he will be justified!"
Young Master Hua's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this?"
If a subject kills the king, it may be his own sister, or his father, and everyone in the world will scold him.
And if this crime is thrown to the Qin State, everything will fall into place!
Not only did he receive benefits from Qin, but he also allowed Qin to take the blame. Moreover, he could also use this reason to tear up the alliance, achieving multiple goals with one stone!
The three of them discussed it carefully, and Master Hua came to Zhang Beichen and said, "I have decided, can you really get Qin to mobilize its troops?"
"Of course!" Zhang Beichen affirmed, "I will write a letter to the King of Qin now and ask the King of Qin to send an elite team, which will arrive within two months to help the young master!"
"Okay!" Young Master Hua was overjoyed and said, "In two months, I will invite my master and Zhao Yun to the Sand Dune Palace to view the royal tombs."
"During this period, you will live in seclusion in my mansion. No one will come to trouble you."
Gongzihua detained Zhang Beichen in disguise as a hostage to ensure that Qin would not regret it.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Beichen didn't mind and simply stayed at Master Hua's house. He ate and drank every day and chatted with several queens through the simulator from time to time.
Gongzihua invited King Zhao Ling to go to the Sand Dune Palace to view the royal tomb. King Zhao Ling agreed and asked Zhao Yun to go with him.
He immediately mobilized his troops and secretly ambush them in the sand dunes.
And an elite force from the Qin State, under the operation of Gong Zihua, also quietly came to the surrounding sand dunes.
"Everything is ready, my young master is about to ascend the throne!" Young Master Hua always dreamed about how he would ascend to the throne.
On this trip to the sand dunes, he also took Zhang Beichen with him.
