Chapter 10 Good wind relies on strength

"I want to go to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager Ming, and let me be the main envoy to escort Chang'an Jun to Qi!"

Pingyuan Jun slapped his knees, laughed and walked into the wooden screen depicting the green pine pattern, and asked someone to serve him to change his clothes.

While changing his clothes, Pingyuan Jun asked again: "How do you react to Chang'an Jun's words in Handan City?"

Feng Ji said: "Zuo Shigong is not a person who likes to be a good person. Apart from some ministers he met on the road, there are not many people in Handan City who know about it."

Pingyuan Jun pinched the crimson sleeves and decided to make up his mind.

"You go down and have the event and let the wine shops in Handan City tomorrow promote this matter and praise Chang'an Jun."

"The Lord means..."

He raised his hand and asked the maid to tie his belt for him. Pingyuan Jun said, "Although this matter is different from what we think, Chang'an Jun has inadvertently created momentum for me! You might as well push him a little, which will trigger public opinion boiling, and let me take the four-carriage that follows the trend, and achieve the credit of the Qi-Zhao Alliance by escorting Chang'an Jun into Qi, and regain the position!"

Feng Ji hesitated and stood silently. After Pingyuan Jun put on his court clothes and came out, he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master, the king's side..."

"It's okay, now the empress dowager is in power. The king has to wait for a few years. If you don't believe me, you see, Zhao Mu was beaten by Zuo Shi, but the king cannot and dare not say a word."

After saying that, Pingyuan Jun went out proudly. He was in a happy mood at this moment, and it was most appropriate to use this sentence to describe it as "The good wind lies in power, send me to the sky."

In Pingyuan Jun's eyes, Chang'an Jun is still just a wind, a wind that he can make full use. After it blows, it will disappear and will not cause subsequent turmoil to the political arena of Zhao...

But Feng Ji stood under the lintel, watched his carriage go away, and shook his head helplessly. He is a lord, a wise and wise man, and has a good reputation among the princes, but one thing is not very good, that is, he does not look at things for a long time and has too short-sighted eyes, and is often confused by the utilitarianism in front of him.

Now that he helped Chang'an Jun, he could win the praise of the people of Zhao and the favor of the empress dowager, and even become a prime minister. But Pingyuan Jun did not expect that the empress dowager would return to power sooner or later. After Zhao Wangdan took power, his behavior of binding with Chang'an Jun today would inevitably be a thorn in Zhao's heart!

However, Feng Ji thought about it and decided to follow Pingyuan Jun’s arrangements.

In the Warring States Period, scholars had no fixed ruler, countries had no fixed relationships, and the relationship between people was the same. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru were once very disagreeable, but they only needed one step to become friends of life and death. Before Ma Fujun Zhao She became famous, she killed nine retainers of the Pingyuan Jun family, but after being recommended by Pingyuan Jun, she became an alliance in his court.

Feng Ji thought to himself: "To give the king a legitimate son in the country who can make the king feel threatened may be a good thing for the king. In that case, the king will have to rely on the king in the future..."

...

"I just said, when my brother became so selfless, someone must have taught him to win people's hearts! What a Zuo Master, and a three-day old minister!"

It was day and night, when Zhao Wang Dan was reading this sentence, he suddenly raised the incense burner on the desk and smashed it hard on the ground, making a loud noise, so that Zhao Mu, who was covered in plaster, was shocked and shocked, but he lowered his head again and did not dare to say more.

He rolled and crawled at noon and was driven out of Zhao Palace by Chulong. He could not come back quietly until late at night. He reported the matter to the point of being anxious.

When King Zhao learned about it, he was so angry that he trembled all over: "After saying this, you said a lot in front of Master Zuo, but you can't match the gentle words of the son? You tried your best to invite him into the palace, but in the end you believed in Chang'an and beat you?"

Zhao Munne was speechless and felt very aggrieved and sad. This morning, until the time when Chulong entered the palace, everything was going according to the plan. Whether Queen Mother Zhao agreed or not, Chang'an Jun was a loser:

He was either forced to go to Qi in shame as a hostage, stayed away from the power center of Zhao, and could no longer pose a threat to the King of Zhao; or the empress dowager refused, and Zhao Mu instructed people to go to Handan to spread rumors, making Chang'an Jun a sinner of Zhao.

Unexpectedly, just after Lao Chulong arrived at Fengtai, Chang'an Jun learned about this in advance, stopped Chulong and took the initiative to say in front of Chulong that he hoped to go to Qi as a qualifying state and relieve the crisis for Zhao State. But he also said that he was afraid that the empress dowager would pity him and refused to allow him, so he hoped that Chulong could persuade the empress dowager together.

With such a simple change in attitude, Chang'an Jun changed from passive to active, making Zhao Wangdan and Zhao Mu think that this plan was completely up to the end, and shot themselves in the foot.

Chang'an Jun is famous for the Zhao Palace, but Zhao Mu is covered in injuries. Fortunately, he protects his head with both hands and keeps his handsome face to please King Zhao...

Things turned out like this, and Zhao Wangdan was caught off guard. He wanted to slap Zhao Mu, the culprit, in the face, but he couldn't bear to see his jade-like face, so he had to vent his anger on the pitiful copper furnace.

"King." Zhao Mu waited for his anger to calm down a little before he said, "Although the process may not be much the same as what we thought, the result is the same."

"Same, what's the same? Look at what you look like now, that nurse must be very proud now!"

Zhao Mu swallowed his hatred back into his stomach and insisted: "It's useless. Although Chang'an Jun took the initiative to stand up and win the praise of Zuo Shigong and the favor of the empress dowager, he will soon leave Handan. Once he leaves Zhao, it will be like a tiger leaving the deep mountains and a dragon leaving the sea, and he will no longer be threatened to the king. This time, it will take three months to a long time to half a year. When he comes back, the king's throne is as stable as a rock, and the status of the king's ministers has been determined. Why not let him be an idle young master?"

He didn't say anything else. After Empress Dowager Zhao's hundred years, will Chang'an Jun still let the king's power be controlled? The humiliation Zhao Mu suffered today will be doubled back from Chulong and Chang'an Jun!

He, Zhao Mu, is a smart person, but he has never been a broad-minded person!

"I have to do this..."

Zhao Wangdan stomped his feet hard. After all, the empress dowager was pressing on his head. The situation was like this, so he had to give up, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Mu.

The slandered the good ministers, through this matter, Zhao Wangdan had already seen that Zhao Muke had a small plan but could not do big things. He couldn't help but miss the Youth Master who passed by Handan a few years ago, wearing straw sandals and umbrellas on his shoulders. He once gave Zhao Dan a clever plan to make his position as the prince unbreakable. That was the loyal minister he liked!

After Zhao Mu sued his resignation, King Zhao couldn't help but look at the direction of Wei in the south and sighed: "Yu Xin, Yu Xin, you are right. Conspiracy and deceit are not as good as prestigious arts after all, but when will you come to Zhao State to assist me?"

...

The king and his ministers were gritting their teeth for the bitter fruit they had made, but Fengtai was busy. After that day's advice from the dragon and the heartfelt disclosure of Mingyue, the empress dowager not only agreed to let Chang'an Jun go to Qi as a hostage, but also personally took charge of the matter.

Although Queen Mother Zhao has a little temper, she still knows the general idea. She has changed her previous simple spoiling. When preparing for related matters, she also let Chang'an Jun participate and watch and learn.

"My mother is sincerely considering my long-term future..."

Mingyue could see that, just like when Queen Yan was married five years ago, Empress Dowager Zhao felt extremely reluctant, but she looked stern and forced herself to turn her head away and let Mingyue leave.

Of course, Mingyue couldn't even get into the matter about how to get to Qi State. She could only watch Empress Dowager Zhao and Chu Long, and Miao Xian discussed the arrangements.

To Mingyue's surprise, he was told that after he woke up, he was told that just last night, the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng entered the palace overnight, saying that he had learned about this from Master Zuo, and begged Queen Mother Zhao to let him be the main envoy to escort Chang'an Jun into Qi!

"This is a famous master in history and is regarded by many as one of the Warring States princes who are not aware of the general and are wise and unrestrained. What do you want to do?"

Information is limited, Mingyue can't deduce anything, but then I think that in the future battle of Changping, Pingyuan Jun is an important decision-maker. It would be better to contact him early and get to know this person.

Empress Dowager Zhao was also very satisfied with Pingyuan Jun as an envoy. As the Zhao uncle, he was a trusted relative and had a wide range of friendships in Qi State. He was even more close to Tian Dan, the prime minister of Qi State and Anping Jun.

So a plan is placed in front of the bright moon. In the early March, Pingyuan Jun will take the bright moon to set off. Here you go to Linzi. If you count the delay on the road, it will take three months to half a year to return!

"Mingyue, but what else is wrong?"

Although the daily itinerary on the road was arranged, Empress Dowager Zhao was still worried. Her son was worried about her mother who was walking for thousands of miles. She wished she could not accompany him on the road in person, but that was impossible.

Mingyue said: "There is a plan for the mother, an eunuch's order, and an uncle (Pingyuan Jun) took me with me. Everything is complete, nothing is wrong, just..."

According to the plan in his heart, Mingyue pretended to hesitate, which made Queen Mother Zhao ask, "But what?"

Mingyue showed a grievance: "That day, as long as it is beneficial to Zhao State, he would be willing to sacrifice his life. He was scolded by his mother and said that this was just a trip to visit his mother's mother's family, so what about life and death?"

"I know I said the wrong thing, but if you think about it carefully, Pingyuan Jun sent me to Linzi and discussed the issue of sending troops with Qi, he would return, leaving me in Linzi. I was not familiar with the place and there was no one who could speak Zhao's dialect. In addition, I had no martial arts skills, so I couldn't help feeling nervous. Can the mother arrange a person from the Zhao clan who knows military affairs and trusts to go with me, command the guards, and protect my son Zhouquan in Linzi?"

"A trustworthy family of Zhao clan who knows about military affairs?"

Queen Mother Zhao frowned and thought bitterly, such a person cannot have a high status or a low status, and she will never think of a suitable one for a while.

Mingyue took the opportunity to say, "Mother, my son has a choice."

"You are so clever." The Queen Mother spitted on him and said, "You've just thought about who you want to take with you long ago? Tell me, who is it?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "I heard that Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, is young and promising, has excellent martial arts skills, and is more proficient in array military tactics. So, let Zhao Kuo and his son go to Qi together, how about?"
