Chapter 773: On behalf of the country, Prime Minister Li Mu! You are so barbaric that even barbarians feel barbaric!
Yan Dan made a desperate attempt to break through to the northeast, trying to join forces with the 200,000 Yan troops sent by the DPRK, and then use the power of this army to counterattack Ying Chengyu.
However, the development of all things has never been affected by personal will.
There are never just two chess players on this chessboard in the world!
Five days ago, it was May 16th in the 14th year of King Qin’s reign.
Daijun, Wei (yù) County.
One by one, disguised scouts rushed back, rushing towards the Dai County Yamen Office, handing over their hands and reporting:
"Report! Qin Chang'anjun's troops have taken Yanghu City, and are on the way. Divide the troops and go to the eastern cities of our country, Zhao."
"Report! Prince Dan of Yan has sent envoys to persuade the county magistrates of our country, Guanshi City and other three cities have dropped the banner of our country and established Yan. The flag of the country."
"Report! Prince Dan of Yan is still leading the Yan army to attack Neihuang City, and has sent a partial force northward."
"Report..."
A famous scout used the intelligence they investigated to outline a clearer picture of the situation for everyone in the government office - even more accurate than the intelligence held by Yan Dan. !
Zhao Guozong Zhengcheng Zhao Wuji slammed the table with his right hand, and shouted angrily: "Shameless Yan Kingdom!"
"Although Handan fell, I, the Great Zhao Dynasty, did not die!"< br>
“The State of Yan, as an ally of our country, Zhao, saw that the situation in our country was critical, so it betrayed its alliance, counterattacked our country, seized our city, and invaded our territory.”
"How shameful! How hateful!"
"In the past, I, the Great Zhao, should not have formed an alliance with shameless rats like the Yan Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, this is ridiculous!"
< br>Following Zhao Wuji, there was a chorus of curses in the government office: "The State of Yan actually betrays me, the Great Zhao, again. Does the State of the Yan think that the Great Zhao is easy to bully?!"
"The King is still too much after all. If you are too young, you don’t know how shameless King Yan is! If I were to tell you, I should have died to persuade him to protect the crown prince’s succession!”
"It's so, so, so bad! The late king has entrusted an inhumane person to cause our great Zhao to suffer this great defeat!"
"When my great Zhao recovers and recuperates, we will definitely send troops to Yan, so that the Yan Kingdom can win today's victory." You will pay the price for your actions!"
In the main seat inside the government office, Zhao Jia sat calmly on the soft couch and listened quietly.
Zhao Jia never expected that not long after he arrived at Daijun, the solid city of Handan would fall into the hands of Qin.
Hundreds of clan members and dozens of Zhao ministers and generals took advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army to attack Zhao Wangqian and escaped from Handan City, and then went all the way north to join the ranks surrounding Zhao Jia.
From being a prisoner who was almost killed to becoming Zhao's last hope, Zhao Jia's situation has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few months.
But Zhao Jia did not rush to make a decision, but instead hibernated patiently, waiting patiently for a suitable opportunity.
Today, this opportunity is ripe!
Looking away at Mao Sui, Mao Sui, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately stepped out of the queue and shouted in a deep voice: "What are the benefits of your colleagues scolding the State of Yan here?"
"The power of lips and tongue can certainly please people's hearts, but it cannot harm the two countries of Yan and Qin in the slightest!"
"The plan for now is to immediately rectify the state of our country, re-establish the banner of our country, and rectify our army and horses, so that all enemies who dare to covet our territory will not dare to act recklessly!"
< br>Zhao Jiang, who will be the young master, shook his head bitterly: "It's easy to say, but how difficult it is!"
Both brothers died at the hands of Ying Chengyu, Zhao Jiang wished he could kill Ying Chengyu as his son. Brother's revenge!
But it was precisely because of the successive deaths of Zhao Cong and Zhao Lian that Zhao Jiang understood how difficult it was for the Qin Army to defeat the Qin Army, and it also made Zhao Jiang’s heart toward the Qin Army, especially Ying Chengyu. A bit of a psychological shadow.
However, Mao Sui said calmly: "It's easier said than done!"
Facing Zhao Jia and bowing his hands, Mao Sui said in a deep voice: "I would like to invite Master Jia to ascend the throne and become the king!"
"As long as the master ascends the throne, the cities of Zhao Jia that have not yet fallen will have a backbone."
< br>"Now that Qin is exhausted and Yan is weak, as long as we, the cities of Zhao and Zhuzhou, fight hard against the enemy, the enemy will retreat!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence inside and outside the government office, and all the participants looked serious. Condensed, eyes twitching.
Zhao Wuji was the first to shake his head and said: "No!"
"Although I also believe that the young master has the qualifications to be a king, however, the king has not passed away and the throne is not yet hanging, how can the young master ascend the throne and become the king?"
"A country cannot have two masters!"
Mao Sui immediately refuted it: "The King of Chu was still captured in the Qin State while carrying the Cu, and before he was captured carrying the Cu, the King of Chu had never bare his flesh and held a jade, let alone the decline of his officials and his officials."
“King Qi of Chu still ascends the throne as the king and regains control of Chu’s sacrifices.”
“Chu can do this, why can’t I, Zhao, do this!”
Zhao Wuji asked angrily: "Chu is a barbarian!"
"Is Zhao a barbarian?"
The minister who once persuaded King Zhao to move with Chu Long and Zhao Jia when he was the prince The old ministers of the Prince's Mansion and the ministers of Daijun all unswervingly supported Zhao Jia's ascension to the throne.
No etiquette or rules can compete with the actual power of following the dragon!
Zhao Wuji and other officials who came from Handan were a little more hesitant, but this was not because they did not support Zhao Jia, but because Zhao Wangqian was still alive after all.
Once Zhao Jia inherits the throne of King Zhao, the Qin State is likely to immediately release King Zhao Qian. By then, the already exhausted Zhao State will surely experience another civil strife!
After listening patiently for a long time and keeping everyone's speech in mind, Zhao Jia finally spoke warmly: "I think what Zong Zhengcheng said is reasonable!"
Mao Then he shouted anxiously: "Young Master!"
"Now our country is in a crisis that has not happened in a hundred years. You must not be trapped in etiquette and just sit back and watch our country fall!"
>Zhao Jia nodded to Mao Sui and said, "What Mao Shangqing said is also reasonable!"
Some ministers sighed in their hearts and began to wonder if Zhao Jia was going to make peace with him on such an important matter.
Zhao Jia looked around at the ministers with his eyes, and his voice became deeper: "The King of Zhao has not passed away, and the throne of King Zhao has not yet been suspended. I should not inherit the throne of King Zhao."
"In the past This young master is the prince of Zhao, but he was deposed from the throne by his father. It can be seen that his father does not want this young master to inherit the throne of Zhao Wang.”
“Of course!”
“It’s true! Mao Shangqing said that the situation in our country is now extremely dangerous. We, our country, must raise a flag to call on all the cities in our country to unite and fight against Qin Yan! "
"Therefore, I want to build an ancestral hall in Dai and inherit the throne of Dai!"
The ministers and generals: Huh? ! ! No, is there still such an operation? !
As the son of Zhao Kingdom, do you want to inherit the throne of the acting king? !
Does the last generation king who was stabbed in the head by Zhao Xiangzi with a golden bucket know about this?
Zhao Wuji hurriedly held up his hands to admonish: "Young master, you can't do that!"
"Young master is a descendant of my great Zhao clan, how can he inherit the throne of the acting king!"
Zhao Jia said calmly: " I will make a grand sacrifice to heaven and earth and report this matter to my father and the Emperor of Zhou.”
“Please my father to report to the Emperor of Zhou in my father’s name, and break the earth to seal this son as the acting king.”
"Then wait for my father and Emperor Zhou to agree to this matter."
All the ministers and generals were stunned.
Report this matter to King Yan of Zhao and Emperor Zhou?
How many years have these two been dead!
Even if they disagree, how can they refute it?
Even Mao Sui couldn't help but said: "Sir, this matter is a bit too...barbaric."
Zhao Jia looked at the historian and said in a deep voice: "Record today's events exactly as they are!"
"The barbarians are my son, not the ministers!"
"The people of the world If you want to ridicule or insult me, you should do it to me!"
Seeing Zhao Jia accept the title of barbarian with a calm face, he even reminded the people in the world not to insult the wrong person. Mao Sui couldn't hold himself any longer.
I thought that my advice was barbaric enough.
As a result, comparing with your thoughts, sir, I suddenly feel that I am quite polite!
But Zhao Jia shouldered the infamy so clearly, but it also made Mao Sui and many other ministers feel close to him.
Who wouldn’t like a leader who helps take responsibility?
Looking at the ministers again, Zhao Jia's voice was solemn: "In times of crisis, you should take urgent measures!"
"My mind has been made up. Are you willing to lend a helping hand to me?! ”
Zhao Jia's attitude is very resolute, and Zhao Jia also has a reason to be so resolute.
Because Zhao Wuji is right, as long as King Zhao Qian is still alive in terms of etiquette and law, Zhao Jia cannot inherit the position of King Zhao, otherwise it will be an act of barbarians. Since both the left and right have to bear the name of barbarians, Zhao Jia might as well choose to start over and throw away the mess left by Zhao Wangqian.
In this way, Zhao Jia can stand on the same level as Zhao Wangqian in terms of etiquette and law. Even if the Qin State releases Zhao Wangqian in the future, the two countries of the Zhao Dynasty will still be two different countries. Zhao Jia will Greatly reduce the possibility of Qin using Zhao Wangqian to provoke civil strife in Zhao!
In addition, Zhao Jia can avoid inheriting the hatred between Qin and Zhao to a certain extent by re-establishing the Dai Kingdom, weakening Qin's desire to attack the Dai Kingdom, and trying to win as many lives as possible for the Dai Kingdom. Years of respite.
In addition, after the establishment of the Dai Kingdom, Zhao Jia did not need to worship Zhao Wangyan, Zhao Wangqian and others. He could enjoy the first incense in the ancestral temple!
Whether from the perspective of personal likes and dislikes, or from the perspective of national interests, reestablishing the Dai Kingdom is a far better strategy than inheriting the throne of King Zhao!
But this strategy also has huge drawbacks.
Because this policy really breaks through the limits of etiquette and is so barbaric that even the barbarians feel even more barbaric!
Many former Zhao ministers may not necessarily admit that Dai is the continuation of Zhao, and they may not necessarily be willing to transfer their loyalty to Zhao to Dai!
While the ministers were hesitating and struggling, Li Mu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, knelt down and bowed his head: "My minister, Bai Ren Li Mu, pays homage to the king!"
Zhao Jia was overjoyed.
Li Mu did not call himself Lord Wu'an, but even called him the king. This is enough to show how resolute Li Mu's support for Zhao Jia is!
Stepping forward quickly to help Li Mu up, Zhao Jia laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Very good!"
"I am like a fish in water if I can get the help of Mr. Wu An!"< br>
Li Mu shook his head and sighed in a complicated voice: "Mr. Wu An has passed away."
Zhao Jia said firmly: "So Mr. Wu'an of Zhao has passed away, but Mr. Wu'an of my generation is in front of everyone!"
Pulling Li Mu's arm and facing the ministers, Zhao Jia said loudly: "It is said that everyone Order! "
"Promote Li Mu to be my great lord of Wu'an, and take the city of Wu'an as a city."
"Promote Lord Wu'an to be my great lord of state."< br>
Li Mu hurriedly said: "No..."
However, before Li Mu could finish speaking, Li Mu's second son Li Hong, veteran general Sima Che and other county officials had already excitedly handed over their hands: "I will obey the king's order!"
Seeing Zhao Jia's determination, Mao Sui and others , and then shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Although they still disagree with Zhao Jia's idea, who else can they support besides Zhao Jia?
Since Zhao Jia is so determined, they have to obey!
Seeing that the vast majority of people had complied, more than forty former Zhao ministers and clan disciples left the office silently, and the remaining Zhao Wuji and others had to bite the bullet and surrendered: "Your Majesty is wise. ! ”
Only Li Mu said bitterly: "My minister, I am really not qualified to serve as prime minister!"
Dai Wang Jia took Li Mu's hand and said sincerely: "There is no one who is born to know. Don’t you know how to learn?”
“I believe in Xiangbang. Will Xiangbang work harder for me?”
Li Mu’s heart warmed.
Trust!
What a luxurious word!
Although Li Mu was still questioning the authenticity of Dai Wang Jia's trust, he still handed over his hands solemnly: "I will do my best and live up to the king's kindness!"
Dai Wang Jia said loudly. Laughing: "This way, I will feel at peace!"
"Two and three sons, please sit down!"
Setting down again, Dai Wangjia said in a deep voice: "Ascension to the throne, erecting a temple and other matters are all postponed. .”
"The most important thing for my generation today is the current war."
"I think that my generation should immediately inform the cities and obey my orders."
" Then he asked for peace from Qin and sent envoys to the state of Yan. "
"Strive to continue the alliance between Yan and Zhao in my generation!"
