Chapter 361 How to Resist Zhao? Cai Ze has his own opinion

Xianyang Palace.

King Ji Gao of Qin sat on the throne, staring at several important officials of Qin in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Now that Zhao State is crazy, and he actually colluded with Qi State to attack Yan State. What should I do if I should deal with it?"

Although Yan State did not participate in the previous battle of Hedong County due to the serious illness of King Yan, Yan State is still an ally of Qin State, and the alliance between the two sides has not broken down.

Not only that, after being defeated by Zhao twice in succession, Qin has regarded Zhao as a life-and-death enemy, and has extremely hatred for Zhao.

Under such circumstances, what Zhao State wants to do is of course what Qin State must destroy.

According to the latest information, Zhao State has officially joined the battlefield and has begun to join forces with Qi State to prepare to attack Yan State.

Otherwise, with the character of King Jian of Qi, it would be impossible for him to suddenly support the Queen of Yan and the Prince Ke, who was only two or three years old.

Everyone knows that Empress Yan was born with Zhao Dan’s mother!

It is worth mentioning that compared with the past, there is less familiar figure in the hall today, but there is another strange figure.

Needless to mention, this familiar person is the former prime minister of Qin, Fan Sui.

Now Fan Sui has resigned from the position of prime minister and returned to his fiefdom, Lantian.

The extra stranger was said to have been recommended by Fan Sui before leaving. Not long ago, he was just a dissatisfied lobbyist in Yan State.

Compared with before, Cai Ze can be said to be one world today.

Since Fan Sui became the prime minister, there have been many different opinions about Fan Sui's successor, but most people think that Yangquan Jun Mi Rong is the biggest popular candidate.

The reason why it is considered Mi Rong is actually very simple.

This Yangquanjun is not only the brother-in-law of the crown prince An Guojun Zhao Zhu, but also assisted An Guojun in the supervision of the country when King Ji of Qin went to Luoyi to meet with King Dan of Zhao.

With a background, ability and trust, such a person is simply the most perfect template for Xiangbang.

However, King Ji of Qin's final choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

After driving away Fan Sui, King Ji of Qin actually listened to Fan Sui's final recommendation. After summoning Cai Ze once, he appointed Cai Ze as Gangchengjun and served as the prime minister of Qin.

The meaning of guarding the minister is to guarding the minister's country, which means temporary minister's country.

However, given that Cai Ze's predecessor Fan Sui had briefly served as the prime minister and then became a regular person, and the fact that he had been named Gangchengjun by King Ji of Qin just once, as long as Cai Ze did not make any mistakes, it would be a matter of time before he became a regular person.

At this moment, Cai Ze was wearing a black formal outfit and a crown, sitting upright on the left side of King Ji of Qin. His waist was straight and he looked quite energetic.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Cai Ze's outfit has a bit of authority, which has diluted the discomfort brought to others by his ugly face.

For Cai Ze, although he had successfully made Qin Wang Ji believe in his ability through a meeting, this meeting is now the first time Cai Ze has participated in the discussion of the national policy by the core leadership of Qin.

So Cai Ze also really wants to use this meeting to make a good start and show his ability.

After King Ji of Qin asked a question, Cai Ze looked around and found that no Qin minister spoke, and felt that it was time for him to show his feelings.

So Cai Ze spoke, "Master, I have a memorial."

As soon as Cai Ze spoke, several other Qin officials in the hall all turned their eyes to him.

This gaze was full of curiosity, but also had a bit of disdain, jealousy and other complex emotions.

King Ji of Qin looked at Cai Ze calmly and said, "Jun Gangchengjun just comes."

Cai Ze cleared his throat and said, "King, after experiencing Changping and Hedong's two defeats, in Cai Ze's opinion, Zhao State has now become the most powerful country in the world!"

As soon as Cai Ze said this, other Qin monarchs and ministers, including King Ji of Qin, could not help but look a little ugly.

Although everyone present knew that Cai Ze was telling the truth, sometimes it was actually a very hurtful thing to tell the truth.

It is precisely because of this that many people looked at Cai Ze and began to feel a lot of dissatisfaction again.

Cai Ze did not care about the dissatisfaction in these gazes. After all, Cai Ze has suffered too much discrimination and sarcasm because of his appearance. It is really not bad for these gazes.

Ugly, especially an ugly man, was really a very sad thing in ancient society.

Cai Ze said to Qin Wang Ji with his own heart: "Now that Zhao State has the Shangdang, the two counties of Hedong are not only strong, but also have an extremely vast territory, which is even worse than Jin State back then. Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, if you want to defeat Zhao State, it is difficult to rely solely on the power of Qin State. You must unite other countries to do it."

After hearing Cai Ze's words, King Ji of Qin nodded slightly, obviously thinking that Cai Ze's words were quite reasonable.

King Ji of Qin did not speak, but signaled Cai Ze to continue speaking with his eyes.

Cai Ze continued to speak: "First of all, the king must declare the world, express his support for the current King of Yan, and condemn the evil deeds of Qi and Zhao invading Yan!"

"Condemn?" King Ji of Qin thought for a while and asked, "So what Gang Chengjun meant is not to send troops?"

"Send troops?" Cai Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to hurt my morale, but I would like to ask you, if you send troops now, will you be sure to defeat Zhao?"

King Ji of Qin thought about it, then simply closed his mouth, and seemed to have no idea to continue saying a word.

Cai Ze continued: "Secondly, Wei is the mortal enemy of Qi and is also the common neighbor of Zhao and Qi. Now that Zhao and Qi are jointly attacking Yan, the King of Wei must have some doubts, fearing that one day Zhao and Qi will join forces to attack Wei. Therefore, if the king can send a capable lobbyist to Daliang, it is very likely that the King of Wei will convince the King of Wei and let the State of Wei and Qin fight against Zhao."

When the Wei State was mentioned, a very unhappy expression appeared on King Ji of Qin, and he said in a muffled voice: "I have sent envoys to Daliang many times during the Battle of Hedong, but all of them were rejected by the King of Wei! Moreover, Wei Wuji took the opportunity to seize Tao County, and I have not settled the score with Wei State yet!"

Cai Ze smiled and said, "King, the Wei State at that time was because the King of Zhao Dan promised Anyi to the King of Wei, and Wei Wuji planned to seize Tao County, so the King of Wei refused to join forces with the King so decisively."

"But as the saying goes, this time and another time. Today, Zhao State is already dominating the world. As a neighbor of Zhao State, Wei State's capital Daliang is so close to Handan. Is it true that the King of Wei is really not wary of Zhao State? I think this is unlikely."

"In addition, I have heard of something. After losing to Qi in the Battle of Lanling of Chu and being besieged by Kuang Liang in Pengcheng, Zhao Wangdan at that time had sent people to meet Wei Wuji and asked Wei Wuji to stop besieging Taoyi and rescue Pengcheng. But Wei Wuji used this matter to capture Taoyi with a false shot. No matter how generous Zhao Wangdan was, he would definitely be dissatisfied with it."

"So, in the opinion of the minister, although the Zhao and Wei countries still have the banner of the Three Jin alliance at this moment, they are actually alienated. If the king sends lobbyists to Daliang City this time, they are likely to succeed!"

Cai Ze's words seemed very reasonable and well-founded, which made the other Qin ministers present nodded repeatedly.

King Ji of Qin thought for a while and finally spoke: "Since that's the case, then I'll send an envoy to Daliang City!"
