Chapter 83: Lian Po's Disgusted Life
(The Gongzi Qian, written in the book, was corrected as Gongzi Yan)
After the servant left, he left Zhao Yan alone at the door, waiting for half an hour.
"A clang"
The gate of Lianpo's mansion was opened again.
Zhao Yan glanced at it and saw that it was the door that Lian Po opened himself, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lian Po bowed and said, "I have let the young master wait for a long time, so please come to the mansion to speak." It is simple and crude, and there is no reason. This is Lian Po's usual style.
Although Zhao Yan felt a little resentful, he did not show any signs of it.
The two arrived at the main hall, and Lian Po asked Zhao Yan to be the first place without delaying the argument.
"The young master doesn't know what's wrong, so he needs to come to the old minister's house in person. If the young master has something to ask for, the old minister must do as he wants."
Seeing Lian Po's attitude being stiff, Zhao Yan said, "General Lian seems to have some prejudice against this young master, but I think this young master is a bit naughty, so it is inevitable that General Lian and other ministers are misunderstood. I have nothing to do here today, I just want to come here to ask the general for learning."
Lian Po's expression changed and he said, "Young Master is afraid that he has come to the wrong mansion. You don't want to go to Guo's Shi to ask for the old minister to learn from him? This is too ridiculous."
Zhao Yan twitched his lips, thinking that Lian Po was indeed quick to speak, without any concealment.
Zhao Yan said: "General Lian Po can be seen that now the Zhao State is all about the new prime minister of Zhao State. Whether it is General Lian Po or the King of Pingyang Zhao Bao, the court has been arguing for many days. The king and father have not made a decision for a long time. Is General Lian Po not interested?"
Lian Po's mouth moved and said, "King, naturally, there is a consideration for the king. As a minister, he will naturally obey the king's opinions!"
Zhao Yan stood up and suddenly sneered: "General Lian Po is worthy of being the direct minister of my Zhao State, and he is loyal to Zhao State and the King."
When Lian Po saw Zhao Yan's words, he felt something was wrong and said, "What do you mean by your son? Is the old minister still wrong to the king?"
"Of course, the king of the Shangzhong is right. It was only then that I heard that General Lian didn't seem to care much about the position of the new prime minister of Zhao State, and I felt sorry for General Lian."
"Lin Xiangru was just a disciple of Laoxian. After returning the jade to Zhao, he was named Shangdao. After meeting with Mianchi, he was named Shangqing. His status immediately surpassed General Lian, who had outstanding military achievements. Didn't General Lian feel un angry?"
Lian Po's face changed and he didn't say a word!
Zhao Yan continued: "Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She defeated the Qin State Hushang just because of Que and a battle, and he was appointed as the emperor, and immediately became equal to the general. Could it be that the general forgot?"
Zhao Yan said that he paused here, and he looked at Lian Po's eyes.
He thought to himself: "Mr.'s words really hit his heart."
Afterwards, Zhao Yan continued: "When talking about the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi took over the command, and the general could not stand firm. The Qin army did not make any contribution. Just wait for the Qin army to relax, so the army could take advantage of the situation to attack. However, the general was temporarily replaced and Zhao Kuo took over the command. I don't need to say more about what the result is."
"After the defeat of Changping, Zhao State's national strength was empty. Yan State sent 600,000 troops, of which 400,000 were led by Su Fu to attack the city of our Zhao State, and even to the city of Handan. The king had no choice but to use General Lian. General Lian defeated the 400,000 Yan Army of Su Fu to kill the commander and besieged the capital of Yan King Xi. Such great achievements made the general famous in the six countries, but he did not get anything."
Lian Po's face turned blue and white, and every word from Zhao Yan seemed to hit his mind heavily.
In Su Jie's eyes, Lian Po was completely like "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Zhao Family" and "Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru" equals "Liang Po was despised for his life".
If we continue to follow the course of history, after Zhao Dan's death, Lian Po would be taken over by Zhao Yan and let Le Cheng replace him again. Once again, he was instantly equalized as before!
After that, Lian Po beat Le Cheng and drove out of the army directly. He knew that King Zhao would definitely kill him this time. Lian Po, who was afraid in his heart, fled to Wei State.
Then, according to the law of "Liang Po's life that was despised", King Zhao would definitely use Lian Po's at some point.
It was not until Lian Po went to Chu that King Zhao really wanted to use Lian Po. As a result, Guo offered a large sum of money to bribe the envoy, and the story of Lian Po being old and still being able to make money came out again.
Does Lian Po feel hatred in his heart? There must be some. Do you think he is a straight minister? But he knew that King Zhao would kill him and fled from Zhao State.
Lian Po's dark face seemed to be hot. He didn't say a word, and he slapped the table with a punch and sighed a long sigh.
Zhao Yan continued: "Yesterday in the palace, the king asked me who can be the prime minister!"
Lian Po was shocked when he heard this and raised his head and said, "How do you answer for the young master?"
"I said, in the dynasty, General Lian was the only one!"
When Zhao Yan closed his words, Lian Po was suddenly excited, but soon covered it up and said, "Thank you, the young master, for his good words for the old minister. However, Changping Jun is still in Qin, so I forgive him for not being able to repay him!"
In Lian Po's opinion, Zhao Yan's words today are to win over this new appearance of his future.
Who is Changping Jun? The crown prince appointed by Zhao Dan in the second year of his reign, and now he is a magistrate in Qin!
Lian Po is not stupid or smart.
The monarchs of all dynasties can see that their talents are very outstanding, but they are destined to have huge weaknesses.
Although Zhao Yan had already learned about Lian Po's attitude from Su Jie, he was a little angry when facing Lian Po's words.
He thought to himself: "Sure enough, neither the king nor the court officials nor the court officials took this young master seriously at all."
Zhao Yan suppressed his anger and said, "General Lian has misunderstood. This young master came here not to let General Lian support me in the court in the future, but now, there is really no one in Zhao State that can be compared with General Lian. Is this young master unwilling to see the strength of Zhao State?"
Lian Po nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the young master is also a person with great ambitions, and it was also a blessing for Zhao State. The old minister has always thought that the young master is the same as Guo Kai. Today I know that the old minister was wrong. The old minister has already remembered what his words are today. It is just that the old minister cannot help with the matter of the crown prince. I hope the young master understands it. However, if the young master gives other instructions, the old minister must help with all his strength."
When Zhao Yan heard this, he laughed and said, "General Lian already knows my intentions, I am very fortunate. I know that General Lian has been in his life, and his military strategy has never been better than his seven countries. I don't know if the general has written a book. If there is one, I don't know that he can study with the general for a while. For this reason, there is nothing else to ask for."
Lian Po was stunned and thought to himself: "Is this young master Yan really a change in nature?"
But he quickly said: "The old minister has indeed written several volumes of military strategy in his life. If the young master really wants to study hard, the old minister will order someone to bring it!"
Zhao Yan suddenly stopped Lian Po and said with a smile: "General Lian, you can see me Zhao Yan too much. The marching technique is so mysterious and obscure. I will not hide it from the general. I read some military books in the palace before, but I completely ignored it. Only then did I realize that military books are dead objects. If no one taught them, it would be difficult to understand."
Lian Po nodded and said, "The method of marching is that the heaven, time, place and people are harmonious. Yin and Yang and the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. If no one is guided, it is difficult to understand the way. What does the young master mean? "
Zhao Yan said: "I think in the future, I will go to the general's mansion to study military tactics for two hours every day. If there is any unclear point, I can ask the general for advice. Zhao Yan is very grateful."
Lian Po paused and began to think about it.
Seeing that Lian Po did not say anything, Zhao Yan continued, "General, Zhao Yan sincerely asked for advice. It's really no other intention. Even if my father knows about it, he will definitely praise the general."
Lian Po was finally moved at this moment. It was a good thing to be able to teach Gongzi Yan. Although he was not the prince, who would be the one who could do anything about his studies?
Lian Po said: "Okay, the young master is so humble and studious. How could the old minister let down the young master be so immersed in his heart."
Zhao Yan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General Lian!"
Zhao Yan drove to Lianpo Mansion today.
The news quickly reached Zhao Dan.
After Zhao Dan learned the news, he said, "Zhao Yan is really gone!"
Lao Xian stood aside and said, "Young Master is not young anymore, and it is normal to have your own ideas. The king does not need to worry too much."
Zhao Dan glanced at Laoxian and said, "The two are still in Lianpo's mansion at this time?"
Laoxian nodded, smiled, and said, "After half an hour after Prince Yan entered the mansion, he asked the order of the Che Mansion to return to the palace, saying that he was staying alone with Lian Po, and followed him to learn military tactics. He also said that he would go to study for two hours every day in the future."
"Oh? Learn military tactics? Humph, learning military tactics is fake, winning over Lian Po is real. It seems that he didn't listen to what I said yesterday." Zhao Dan was stunned.
Laoxian said: "The king must be suspicious. If you don't believe it, you can just check it. It is a good thing to say that Gongzi Yan is really humbly studying, and it can also prove that General Lian Po is loyal and has no thoughts in his heart."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Aren't the king worried about his new prime minister? First, Gongzi Yan and Guo Kai have always had a good relationship, but if General Lian could teach Gongzi Yan for no reason, he would prove that he had the talent of the prime minister."
"Secondly, it doesn't matter whether Prince Yan moves or not. What's important is whether Lian Po is attracted by Prince Yan."
"If you are not attracted, it proves that Lian Po taught Gongzi Yan because of the king, which proves that he has never resented the king and is still sincere to the king at this time."
"But if you are attracted by Gongzi Yan, it proves that Lian Po has always been resentful. He was attracted by Gongzi Yan's words just through Gongzi Yan's words, which proves that Lian Po cannot be the prime minister."
Zhao Dan nodded and said, "You are right. Well, during this period, you can send someone to stare at Zhao Yan, and leave this matter to you to investigate."
...
Guo Kai said to Su Jie: "Sir, Gongzi Yan has arrived at Lian Po's mansion and has successfully convinced Lian Po to study hard in his mansion."
Su Jie smiled and said, "If Zhao Dan had not been suspicious, how could he not trust Yu Lianpo for so many years? Lianpo is a straight minister, so he is naturally unparalleled. However, in anyone's opinion, Zhao Yan's performance was to win over Yu Lianpo, one with intention and the other without intention. Do you think Zhao Dan would be worried?"
"If Zhao Dan is not sure, he will be asked to investigate, but at that time, he will find that Lian Po is a loyal minister and Zhao Yan is also a son who is dedicated to studying!"
"This is true for human nature. Once you find that you think too much, you will doubt yourself. But in this process, Lian Po, who originally thought he was already 'unintentional', suddenly supported Zhao Yan because of something. What would he think?"
"The king can no longer believe Lian Po!" Guo's eyes lit up.
"Sir, what are you referring to?"
"Of course it was the meeting between the two kings of Qin and Zhao on the horse! Have you forgotten the meeting between Mianchi many years ago!"
