The next day.
In the Qin palace.
All officials went to court.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Qin Yiren nodded slightly and said sternly,""No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials stood up, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei walked out of the court. He cupped his hands and bowed,""Your Majesty, at midnight last night, Gan Luo and Yao Jia sent a letter to Qin.”
"Han has secretly sent envoys to Qin.”
When Qin Yiren heard this, a trace of deep thought flashed across his brows. He said sternly,""Han Country sent an envoy? Did the letter state their purpose for coming?”
Lu Buwei shook his head and cupped his hands.""Your Majesty, the letter did not mention it. It should be because the Han country does not want to offend the Qin or cause dissatisfaction among the other countries.”
"For this reason, they secretly sent envoys to my Qin country to discuss how to deal with this matter.”
Qin Yiren nodded slightly and muttered,""Did Han send Zhang Ping as an envoy this time?”
"Your Majesty, he is Zhang Ping's son, Zhang Liang!”
"Zhang Liang?"
Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, Zhang Liang's ancestor was the prime minister of Han for five generations. This time, Han Wang Jiu has sent Zhang Liang as an envoy. This shows the sincerity of Han."”
"Other than that, the spies in Zhao sent news that Zhao Wangdan is ill and bedridden. The power has basically been handed over to Crown Prince Zhao Yi.”
"Zhao Yi?"
Weiyang Lord Ying He walked out of the imperial court, cupped his hands and said,""Your Majesty, I heard that although this Zhao Yi doesn't have great talent, he does his job and is good at using capable people.”
"If the throne of the Zhao Country falls into the hands of this person in the future, although the State of Qin will not encounter any great enemies, it will still be considered quite a big problem.”
"I heard that Zhao Yan, the second young master of Zhao State, is ignorant and incompetent. If he becomes the future heir apparent, Zhao State will definitely collapse!”
Qin Yiren's expression was deep as he nodded slightly and said,""That's not a bad idea."
……
Outside Xianyang.
Wei River.
Chehou Yingyong was fishing by the river.
"Great-grandfather."
Ying Xiong walked up and said respectfully.
"What is it?"
"According to the secret letter, Wei and Chu have already sent troops to Zhao.”
"At present, the Qi Kingdom seems to have signs of using troops.”
"As for the Yan Country and the Han Country, they seem to have been watching.”
"However, the various countries have already sent envoys to the country of Zhao.”
As he spoke, Ying Yong raised his hand, and a silver carp jumped out of the river and fell into the bamboo basket.
"Can you find out how many armies the Wei and Chu countries have sent?”
"Great-grandfather, the Chu Country has about 120,000 troops, and the Wei Country has about 150,000 troops!”
"If that's the case, the six dynasties 'army will not be less than a million.”
"Hah ~"
Ying Yong chuckled, a contemptuous look appearing on his face.
"Got it!"
"Since these little brats want to play, let's play!”
"There's nothing else I need to report.”
"I want to catch a few more big fish before sunset today!”
"Yes."
Ying Xiong bowed and left.
……
In the State of Zhao.
At Zhao Yan's residence.
Yesterday night, Mao Sui was drinking in the mansion.
As his eyes became hazy, a strange fragrance entered his nose and mouth.
When he turned around, his expression changed.
He didn't know when, but he was already sleeping on the bed, and there was a woman lying beside him.
"Who…who are you?!"
Just as Mao Sui was panicking, the tightly shut door opened.
"Lord Mao, you!"
"Mao Sui! How dare you!"
Zhao Yan shouted angrily when he saw what was happening.
Seeing this, Mao Sui quickly put on his coat and hat and bowed in fear,""Young Master, I…I…I don't know what's going on. This…"
Zhao Yan's face turned cold." Lord Mao," he said coldly," I treated you to a drink out of goodwill. How dare you do such a thing in my residence!"”
"Humph!"
"Young Master, I…"
At this moment, Mao Sui was filled with regret and did not notice the crafty expressions on Guo Kai and Zhao Yan's faces.
Guo Kai took the opportunity to run to Mao Sui's side and said helplessly,""Lord Mao! Lord Mao, you…sigh!"
"If you like prostitutes, I can find another one for you. You…"
The more Guo Kai said this, the more embarrassed Mao Sui felt.
Thinking about how he was a scholar, if this was spread, how would he still have the face to face the world?
"Young Master, I know I was wrong. I hope Young Master can keep this secret for me.”
Zhao Yan took the opportunity to sit at the side and said angrily,"Forget it, this young master will remember that you have done your best for the country of Zhao and promise to keep this secret!”
"However, you have to do something for me.”
Hearing this, Mao Sui hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed,"Thank you, Young Master. What do you plan to do for me?”
"Very simple."
" Support this Young Master to become the Crown Prince."
" What?!"
"No!" Mao Sui cried out in shock and said decisively.”
"The position of Crown Prince of Zhao has already been decided. How can it be changed at will? Moreover…"
Mao Sui forcefully swallowed his words.
Zhao Yan's actions in Zhao State were witnessed by everyone in the court!
If Zhao Yan was elected as the Crown Prince of Zhao, the foundation of Zhao would be destroyed.
"No?"
"In that case, there's nothing more to say!”
"Mao Sui is arrogant, but he did such a thing.”
"If word gets out, I'm afraid the entire world will laugh at him, right?”
"Young Master, you…"
A look of fear flashed across Mao Sui's face as he hurriedly said,""Young Master, you can't."
Guo Kai slowly walked forward and said with a smile,""Lord Mao, a wise man understands the times.”
"I think you understand this principle. Moreover, if young master becomes the king of Zhao in the future, you will definitely not treat you unfairly.”
"And I will keep this secret for you forever.”
"Could it be that Daren really wants to lose his reputation?”
"I…"
"Hey!"
Mao Sui sighed helplessly and nodded silently.
At the same time.
In the palace of Zhao.
Crown Prince Zhao Yi also heard the news of Wei Chu sending troops.
Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Zhao Yi's face lit up with joy as he hurried to Zhao Wangdan's chambers.
"Father, Father!"
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
During these days, Zhao Wangdan's complexion had more or less recovered after recuperating.
However, because of the war at the front lines, the knot in his heart had been difficult to break.
When Zhao Wangdan heard the voice from outside the hall, his originally dispirited eyes flashed with a bright light.
Crown Prince Zhao Yi held a bamboo slip in his hand and ran forward excitedly.""Father, the various countries have sent letters and sent troops.”
"Other than that, the various countries have also sent envoys to Zhao to discuss the matter of attacking Qin!”
