Zhao Bu's courtyard is not the original residence of Lord Pingyang. Zhao Bu usually lives on campus. There is only one small courtyard in Handan, and the environment is not very good. He rarely goes home. King Zhao hurriedly
When he arrived here, Pingyang Jun could already sit up. Zhao Bao was sitting on the bed, looking a little dazed. He didn't wake up until King Zhao sat next to him.
"Bu, you go out first and don't let anyone get close to you." Zhao Bao ordered. Zhao Bu walked out of the inner room. Only Zhao Bao and King Zhao were left in the room. Zhao Bao said hoarsely: "Yue, die.
It's..." A trace of sadness flashed across King Zhao's face. He nodded and said, "That's it."
Zhao Bao's lips trembled for a moment, and then he said: "In the future, King Zhao will no longer have the support of the clan... Ma Fujun is so young, I am very worried... In the future, Mr. Ma Fu will have no restrictions in Zhao country, I
I believe in Mr. Ma Fu’s character, but I don’t believe in his descendants. As long as one of Mr. Ma Fu’s descendants has evil intentions, then the State of Zhao will become the State of Zhao with the surname Zhao and Ma Fu..."
"Oh, do you think there is anything that can restrict Ma Fujun now? I originally wanted to mobilize the army to catch him, but Lian Po, Tian Yue, Li Mu, Sima Shang? Lejian? These generals who can lead the soldiers around me
, they all admire Lord Ma Fu? Do they only obey Lord Ma Fu's orders? I want to take away a few of his towns, but the ministers in the court? They are all his close friends, from Lord Xinling to the Order of Handan? They all admire him."
"There is nothing I can do..."
Zhao Bao shook his head and said seriously: "This is a good thing. It's a good thing that you didn't send anyone to catch him. You must know that Ma Fujun cannot be harmed. If you catch him? If you arrange for samurai to put him under house arrest, Zhao Bao will
There will definitely be civil strife in the country. Li Mu led a hundred thousand elite troops from the frontier to attack Handan. Qin, Wei, and Yan all sent troops together. Zhao was destroyed immediately? Fortunately, you didn't act rashly."
King Zhao sighed helplessly, and then asked: "What should we do?"
"I don't want to hurt Ma Fujun? I can't hurt Ma Fujun. I don't dare to hurt Ma Fujun."
Zhao Bao thought for a moment and then said: "The reason why Mr. Ma Fu is admired by everyone is because of his reputation for benevolence and righteousness... If you take the lead, you will definitely arouse everyone's hatred. Please put away your uneasiness and act as usual."
If you treat him like that, as long as you can ruin his reputation and make him no longer admired by Zhao people, he won't be much of a threat to you, and he won't take action against you now."
"If he attacks you, those who follow him because of his benevolence and righteousness will definitely be disappointed in him. He should know this."
"Destroy his reputation?" King Zhao frowned and was full of tangles in his heart. He shook his head helplessly and said: "This is simply impossible. The people of Qin have tried it a long time ago... The people of Zhao fanatically worshiped him.
Mr. Ma Fu will never listen to these rumors."
"Then we can only kill him."
"Kill??", King Zhao glanced at him, shook his head violently and said, "This is absolutely not possible! I will never kill a talented person like Ma Fujun!", Pingyang Jun looked like this.
Feeling a little lonely, he said: "I am the same as you. I also respect Ma Fujun and love him very much. However, you have no way to control him. If he is in Zhao State, he will be a disaster to Zhao State sooner or later. I don't know.
How long can you hold on, you are no younger than him..."
"If we all leave, no one can stop him."
"The Yan people intend to invite Ma Fujun to the Yan Kingdom..." King Zhao murmured. Pingyang Jun was shocked and said quickly: "This is not possible. Whether Ma Fujun goes to Yan or to other countries, he will take away all the people in the country."
Those talented people have made Zhao's national power empty. If other countries appoint him as prime minister, then Zhao's destruction is not far away..." King Zhao closed his eyes and was speechless.
"It would be best if Ma Fujun died in the hands of the Qin people or the Yan people... In this way, everyone in the country can unite and deal with these countries." Pingyang Jun squinted his eyes and thought seriously.
Getting up, he suddenly said: "The envoys from Yan State are in Zhao State now. Maybe we can use their hands to complete some things... You can't be implicated in this matter. It's best for you to go back now."
Don't come to me either, I will arrange these things myself."
"If this is revealed, please kill me."
...........
King Zhao returned to the banquet again, but his worried look made everyone afraid to have too much fun. He asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, could it be that Lord Pingyang had an accident?"
King Zhao shook his head and said displeasedly: "He actually reprimanded me, thinking that my decision of not dealing with Mr. Ma Fu was wrong. I didn't want to say more to him, so I came back."
He said "Oh" and said nothing more.
In the next few days, Jiang Qu seemed very active. He frequently contacted various ministers of Zhao State, visited them, and talked about the friendship between the two countries. Jiang Qu's eloquence was still good. In these days, after his
After lobbying, many ministers also expressed their willingness to persuade King Zhao to reconcile with the State of Yan. This was not the case for Lord Longyang. He sat at home, waiting for the ministers of the State of Zhao to visit him.
Sure enough, so many nobles from the Zhao Kingdom came to visit Lord Long Yang that the carriages blocked the street. Some nobles even quarreled and fought over the order of visiting Lord Long Yang. Fortunately, Dong Chengzi appeared in time.
, the fight was avoided, and then Dong Chengzi went to visit Long Yangjun. Long Yangjun chatted with them gently, but did not mention political affairs, but mostly talked about entertainment activities.
In this way, Lord Longyang soon became the guest of many noble people in the Zhao Kingdom, visiting him day and night.
Sitting at a banquet, Long Yangjun looked at the beautiful lady sitting beside him. He hid the disgust in his heart well and just smiled and toasted. The lady just stared at Long Yangjun stupidly.
, almost no one else could be seen. Everyone in the banquet looked at this scene, laughed and booed. The two stood up to sing to each other, danced again, and finally took their seats. In the midst of the noise, the lady
He sat next to Long Yangjun.
"I heard that you are the wife of Mr. Qin. Is this true?" Long Yangjun hugged the lady and asked with a smile.
This lady, who was naturally Zhao Ji, trembled when she heard Ying Yiren's name. A flash of memories flashed in her eyes, accompanied by some bitterness. She nodded and said, "That's true. You
Why are you asking about this?”
"Please don't worry too much. I'm just curious. How could he be willing to abandon a beauty like you here?"
"There are always some people who are willing to abandon their wives for the sake of their own careers, leaving them alone to fend for themselves. What do you think?" Zhao Ji asked, and Long Yangjun smiled and nodded, feeling a little disgusted.
He said: "But I hate this kind of people very much. I heard that the Confucian sages said that you must first take care of your own family before you can govern the world. How can you govern the world if you abandon your own family?"
Zhao Ji trembled, looked at Long Yangjun tenderly, and then asked: "Do you really think so?"
Long Yangjun nodded, and then asked: "So, you have another child?"
"Yes...a boy, six years old this year, very cute...I love him very much."
"Yes, you are so beautiful, and your child must be very good-looking too. I really want to meet this child. If possible, I will be his teacher... I can teach him swordsmanship... Madam, I
His swordsmanship is quite impressive..." Long Yangjun said, Zhao Jimei smiled, stretched her hand in one direction, and then asked: "Are you really good at swordsmanship? Then I am really good at it.
Want to try it..."
Long Yangjun trembled and hurriedly pushed her away.
Realizing something was wrong, Long Yangjun smiled again and said, "Madam, you are drunk."
Zhao Ji was stunned and didn't say anything more. Long Yangjun once again brought the topic to children. He even made up a child that he never had. He was also five years old and was in the Kingdom of Wei. Zhao Ji obviously had some doubts in his eyes.
Nostalgic, she shook her head and said with emotion: "My child has another father and another mother... I want to see him, but I have to be careful, for fear that he will be abused..."
When Long Yangjun walked out of the banquet alone, he seemed a little excited. He was already sure in his heart that it was Zhao Kuo who adopted Ying Yiren's son, the son of the Qin State. At this moment, he was in Mafu and even became a
Ma Fuzi. When he first arrived in the Kingdom of Zhao, he deliberately searched for information related to Zhao Kuo. Later he found out about the relationship between Zhao Ji and Zhao Kuo. It was rumored that they even had a child.
Long Yangjun came into contact with Minggui from Handan, and finally came into contact with Zhao Ji. Now, he can confirm this fact.
So, what role can this matter play? Will it bring any benefits to Wei State?
Wei Wuji's mansion soon welcomed a distinguished guest, none other than Lord Long Yang. During these days, Wei Wuji was no longer busy with reforms. Because of the previous rebellion, King Zhao would drive people away when he heard about the reforms. Wei Wuji
He didn't care. After handling the affairs of the country, he rushed to Mafu, teased Mafuzi, chatted with Mafujun, or listened to the debates by the scholars. He lived a very happy life.
Recently, Lord Xinling is busy issuing the new tax law of Zhao State. Based on Zhao Kuo's inspection results, he is formulating reasonable taxes to avoid the unreasonable cannibalistic tax rate. However, Lord Xinling has many customers.
Fortunately, he does not need to do these things personally. Although Lord Xinling experienced a betrayal by a retainer, this did not affect his trust in his retainers. He still regarded them as his best friends.
.
Therefore, in these days, more and more people come to serve him.
When Lord Long Yang arrived here, Wei Wuji was drinking with his diners. The atmosphere was as joyful as ever. Lord Long Yang also laughed, listening to these diners speaking familiar Wei dialect, and looking at this
In the familiar atmosphere, Long Yangjun smiled and drank a full glass of wine. Everyone cheered. Long Yangjun sat next to Wei Wuji, who looked at him drunkenly.
"You should drink less... You are still young. When you are the same age as me, you will know how powerful you are." Long Yangjun reluctantly persuaded Wei Wuji, who raised his head and laughed, and said: "As long as you are around me,
If there is still wine, I will always be young!" Long Yangjun drank with him. The two chatted about the situation in Wei State, and then about Pingyuan Jun. Long Yangjun said helplessly: "Pingyuan Jun is not the same now.
I wish to leave the house..."
"He felt that the Lord did not trust him. Because of the last war, he and the Lord had a quarrel. Alas... This cannot be blamed on the Lord."
The two chatted for a while, and Long Yangjun suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I have something to ask for your help... Please dissuade King Zhao about the matter of Weiguo."
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can go to Mr. Xinping about this matter."
Long Yangjun said again: "Although you are the prime minister of Zhao State, you are still the son of Wei State. How can you do something like this that is not beneficial to Wei State? Your Majesty has not taken you away until now.
The people of Wei State also miss you very much. Do you want to help Zhao State to weaken Wei State? If Wei State is destroyed, how will you face your ancestors?"
"If King Zhao doesn't appoint me as the prime minister because I am the son of Wei State, how can I do something detrimental to Zhao State because of my status? This is impossible, please give up."
Long Yangjun chuckled and said, "Did you know? Ma Fuzi from Ma Fu Township is the son of Qin's young master Yiren."
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Everyone in Zhao knows about this matter, what are you talking about?"
Long Yangjun shook his head, "Don't lie to me. King Zhao doesn't know about this, and many people don't know that the future successor of the Qin State is actually Ma Fuzi of the Zhao State.
Being raised by Ma Fujun, what does Ma Fujun want to do? If King Zhao knows about this matter, what do you think he should do with Ma Fuzi? Send Ma Fuzi back? Or should he arrest Ma Fujun on charges of collaborating with the enemy?
Get up?"
"I think he won't do anything. He trusts Ma Fujun very much and loves Ma Fujun very much. Ma Fujun raised his friend's son and treated him as his own son. This is a benevolent and righteous act. This is not something to worry about.
thing."
"The King of Zhao loves Ma Fuzi very much?" Long Yangjun smiled, then stood up and said to Wei Wuji: "In that case, then I will go to the King of Zhao and talk to him about Ma Fuzi's situation...
", he said and walked towards the door. Wei Wuji frowned and said nothing. It was not until Long Yangjun was about to walk out of the courtyard that Wei Wuji stood up and shouted: "What do you want?"
"The State of Zhao stops attacking the State of Wei... As long as this happens, I will not inform King Zhao of this matter. I can swear to you."
Wei Wuji sneered. He looked at Long Yangjun coldly and said, "You are really a despicable villain."
"Just as you have to fulfill your duties as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, as a minister of the State of Wei, I must also use all means to safeguard the interests of the State of Wei..." Long Yangjun said with great seriousness: "Even if everyone betrays their relatives, even if they are separated from each other,
