Chapter 31 Persuasion

At the end of the Synonym Society, Solusan also reported the matter discussed by the Qin people with him.

No one present could decide on this matter, so he could only return it to Si Shang and wait for Si Shang to reply as soon as possible to whether to agree to this meeting and negotiation.

After the meeting, more than 20 people from Xuanyi’s tribe came forward and began to build momentum for Que and Jun’s affairs.

With the novel shock brought by Soluzan's return from thousands of miles away and the curiosity aroused by the Western Monarchs whose skin color and appearance were different from that of Middle-earth, the affairs of Que and Jun were widely promoted.

In addition to promoting the affairs of Que and Jun, we also took this opportunity to promote the morality and view of right and wrong of the Mohist school, and promoted "benefiting the world" among the people as the highest standard for evaluating the right and wrong of the monarch and nobles in power.

Those Mo people from Hu people who were born in horse milk also talked about the life of the grassland and the oppression.

Daily publicity, time passes quickly, and those rumors spread quickly, crossing Handan and flying towards Zhaodu Zhongmu.

…………

Zhaodu Zhongmu, the palace in the city.

The sick Mr. Zhao was lying there, covered with a new layer of brocade quilt filled with cotton. The weather was hot, but his face was a little cold and blue.

Next to the bed were several guards holding swords.

The close servants around the king of Zhao State have a special name, called "Counterattack".

This title has a starting point, but it has allusions.

In the past, Xiangzi visited Daijun and asked for a drink. After the horses and counties were over, the dancers ordered hundreds of soldiers to set up their feathers, and first brought a big gold fight. Daijun arrived, drunk, and fought back and attacked him. One hundred years later, his mind was trampled on the ground.

The Counter-Destroy has since become a special title for Zhao State. This is the honorary title of Zhao State's recent servants. The "Counter-Destroy" people are brave and loyal, wearing black clothes and standing next to the king with sharp blades.

If you stand up with a sword when fighting, if you have the order of a king, you can directly kill someone who the king thinks is guilty.

But at this moment, someone was arguing with the king, so the angry king almost passed away again and again.

But the fighters all bowed their heads and said they were missing because they all knew that even if the king was angry, they would not be able to kill the person in front of him. Therefore, even if they quarreled with the king to this extent, they could only fail to see it.

The person who quarreled with Mr. Zhao was Zhong Lian, the prime minister of the Zhao Ji era.

Gong Zhonglian is already very old and needs two servants to support him when walking. In recent years, he has not been asking about politics but only recuperated at home. Today, he drags his old sick body to the palace.

The Zhao Hou on the bed was obviously angry at Gong Zhonglian's words, his lips trembled and his eyes widened.

Gong Zhonglian, who was in the lower head, stood with the help of two servants, made a gesture of admonition and said loudly: "Please take back this idea, this is harmful to the Zhao family."

With anger, Zhao Hou stretched out his hand and slapped Jin Que and said, "I am the king of Zhao, but I am also a father!"

"What's wrong with me seeking to divide the Dai Kingdom for my son, so that he can become the king of a country and be vassalized by Zhao? Can't the king love his children and plan for them?"

It is obvious that Gong Zhonglian dragged his sick body to the bed of Zhao Hou when he heard the news of this incident, and did not hesitate to anger Zhao Hou and make quarrels.

Before the death of the Marquis of Lie, Zhao Ji discussed with his younger brother that after his younger brother agreed that Prince Zhang would pass the marquis to his nephew rather than his own children after he became a virtuous person in the future.

Before the death of Marquis Lie, he also made arrangements to prepare enough team for his son, and then granted Handan to his son, making preparations for the uncle and nephew to turn against each other.

A series of important officials were also confidants of the Liehou era, and the scholars of other surnames supported him all wanted to repay the favor of Liehou's recognition.

However, it is natural for human beings to pass the throne to the son and plan for the future of their children.

In recent years, Mr. Zhao turned a blind eye to the other, allowing or indulging his son to develop his own power and accumulate strength.

He also pursued the policy of building a good Wei State, hoping to get the support of Wei State.

In recent years, many of his confidants have been promoted, but there are too many talents left behind by the Liehou era, and the ministers cannot fully support his ideas.

I tried the news before and wanted to pass the throne as my son, which immediately aroused a lot of opposition.

Soon afterwards, many rumors appeared on the streets of Zhongmu. The little Siko, who was responsible for collecting public opinion and public sentiment, returned Zhao Hou: Que and Jun violated the law and privately transported swords, stirrups and traded with the Hu people. Que and Jun had a good relationship with Gongzi Chao, and there may be rumors in the market that the Zhao State was about to have a chaotic riot of brothers.

This incident made Zhao Hou, who was originally sick, even more irritable. After thinking for a long time, a close friend gave a solution that would have the best of both worlds.

In Zhao State, there are two legal claims.

One is Zhao, who was separated from the Three Jin Dynasties, and the other is Dai Kingdom destroyed by Zhao Xiangzi. In any case, Dai Kingdom is a country, and it is a great country destroyed by the Zhao family so far, with a huge legal land.

Later generations, King Wuling of Zhao wanted to take back his son's power and grant his eldest son the King of Dai; after Qin destroyed Zhao, the nobles of Zhao State restored the country and established the Dai State.

Because the destruction of Dai Kingdom was not destroyed by force, but by a semi-armed annexation method.

The king of the country at that time was Zhao Xiangzi's brother-in-law. After Zhao Xiangzi held a banquet to kill the king of Dai, he annexed Dai State by inheritance, making Dai State a part of Zhao State and also a legal title that Zhao State can be divided into established countries.

The Duke of Zhao felt that since the people and ministers opposed him passing the throne to his son, he would let his son be the king, enfeoffed him as a vassal, and exist as a vassal of Zhao.

In this way, it can be regarded as a sacrifice for one's own lineage. It has not violated the original oath and will not arouse too much opposition.

However, as soon as this news was released, it attracted Gong Zhonglian, who had not been involved in politics for several years, and was blocked in the bedroom and repeatedly advised him.

Zhao Hou was anxious and asked again: "Do you have no children? Have you never planned for your children?"

Gong Zhonglian took a deep breath and asked the support guard to let go for a while. After saluting, he said, "The parents love their son, so they have a far-reaching plan."

"I entrust my son to the dynasty, and this is not to love my son to the dynasty, but to harm my son to the dynasty."

Gong Zhonglian did not go to see Zhao Hou's increasingly ugly face and said sternly: "Zhao is working hard for Zhao, fighting for several generations, and three parts of Jin territory."

"But even if you divide Jin, you must not forget that you have been a minister in Jin State."

"Since you can't forget to be a minister in Jin State, can you forget the Quwo Daiyi Rebellion?"

"If you confer a title on the dynasty in the dynasty and become the king, this will be the disaster of Quwo Daiyi in Zhao State! Then the brothers will be killed, and the prince Zhang is a Marquis of Jin Ai. I am afraid that there will be a matter of Zheng Boke Duan at that time!"

"When the sacrifice is cut off, isn't this a disaster?"

After Gong Zhonglian talked about the two incidents of Quwo Daiyi and Zheng Boke Duan, Zhao Hou's face became even more ugly, but he could not refute Gong Zhonglian's words.

As a monarch, he was not unaware of the consequences of dividing his territory into two. Even if he was a vassal, it would be a huge disaster.

But as a father, he wanted to plan more for his son.

However, Gong Zhong Lian did not talk about the king's and the Gongyi arts, and only talked about the feudal after the feudal from a father's perspective, which was not a good thing, but a bad thing.

This made Zhao Hou unable to refute it, because from the perspective of the king, this matter must be wrong. Only from the perspective of the deep love between parents and children, this is not tenable now, let alone the rest.

Gong Zhonglian said again: "In the past, Jianzi was sick, so he summoned Xiangzi and told him, 'I died, I was buried, and I went up to the mountain of Xiawu to look at it. Xiangzi Jingnuo. Jianzi died, and was buried, and was buried, and summoned the ministers to tell him, 'I would like to climb the Xiawu to look at it'. The ministers all advised, 'Come to look at it, this is a wandering place. I don't dare to abandon it.' Xiangzi said, 'This is the order of the ancestor, and I dare not abolish it.'. All the ministers respected him. Xiangzi went up to the Xiawu to look at it, and it was very happy. So Xiangzi said, 'The ancestor must teach it.' After returning, it will be replaced for ten years."

"This is what Jian Zi did when Xiangzi planned. Jian Zi and Xiangzi did not enfeoff Dai either, which shows that Dai was over Zhao Zhizhong. Does the king think that your talents can surpass Jian Zi and Xiangzi?"

Zhao Hou was helpless and silent, so he naturally did not dare to compare with Zhao Xiangzi and Zhao Jianzi. Not only were these two people a ancestor, but also because these two were the founders of the foundation of Zhao State, Zhao Hou did not dare to compare with him.

Gong Zhonglian said again: "If one day you will worship Jianzi and Xiangzi in the ancestral temple, how can you talk about the matter of the land?"

"It is wrong to be a monarch, and the country will be weak."

"It is also wrong to be a father and put a son in danger."

"It is even more wrong to be descendants and go against the wishes of ancestors."

"It is all wrong to worship the country and privately, and to worship the ancestral temples. Do the monarch still insist on it?"

Mr. Zhao's breathing became rapid. After coughing a few times, he cursed: "My ministers must oppose my order. Is this a courtesy of the king and the ministers?"

Gong Zhonglian stood up again and said seriously: "In the past, my ancestors liked to listen to the gun. Two musicians, Shi, were 10,000 acres of land, were finally advised by their ministers. So even if there was Wuqi in the West River and Ximen Bao in Yecheng, Zhongshan Kingdom also belonged to Wei, Zhao State still had to follow the battle of Wei people attacking Chu, and Wei Hou did not dare to deceive him. This is because he was good at obeying his ministers' advice."

"In the past, Zhou of Shang was arbitrary and Bi Gan was killed and even burned to Lutai. This is why he was not good at obeying his ministers' advice."

He was criticized again, and Zhao Hou said angrily: "Since you don't want him to be the Lord of Dai, then it's okay to let him be the Prime Minister, right?"

Gong Zhonglian was secretly shocked, thinking that he was afraid that this was the strategy of Zhao’s retreat as a way to advance, and first talk about the matter of dividing the country into a generation, and then take a step back and say that he was the prime minister.

However, behind Gong Zhonglian, there were many scholars who were not the Duke of Zhao. As the leader of these classes, it was impossible for him to give in at this time.
