Chapter 677: Huang Xie, are you treating the widow as a fool?

"Huang Xie is here?" Zhao Dan was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.

"He is the ruler of Chu State. If he doesn't manage his national affairs well, why do he come to be a straitor?"

The ministers of Zhao State really couldn't answer Zhao Dan's questions.

Zhao Dan thought for a while and asked, "Have he ever met the prince of Chu?"

"Back to the king, there is not yet." The person who spoke was Zheng Zhu.

Zhao Dan knocked on the table and said slowly: "Then let him meet his prince of Chu who doesn't know how high the sky is."

To be honest, Zhao Dan actually didn't have much favorable feelings for this stupid prince of Chu.

If Zhao Heng was so stupid, then Zhao Dan might have to consider changing a prince.

As a monarch, the most taboo thing is to be used, and the other taboo thing is to end up in person. The prince of Chu took both, which really made Zhao Dan not optimistic about his future prospects after inheriting the throne of Chu.

However, a foolish monarch of Chu was obviously not a bad thing to Zhao, so Zhao Dan naturally did not need to wake up this idiot prince.

Everyone is a life-and-death competitor. What kind of gentlemanly demeanor in such matters is that they are irresponsible for the future of Zhao State and the lives of Zhao State people.

The reason why Huang Xie was asked to meet the prince of Chu first was that Zhao Dan wanted to know if Huang Xie was an idiot.

Judging from the results, Huang Xie doesn't seem to be very stupid.

Because according to Hu Yiwei's report, when Huang Xie walked out of the place where the prince of Chu was confined, his expression on his face was obviously very unpleasant.

At the same time, another name around Huang Xie was also attracted by Zhao Dan's attention.

"Li Yuan? I didn't expect this guy to come with me too." Zhao Dan looked at the information in his hand and was silent for a while, then said to Mao Sui in front of him: "This Li Yuan, you must keep a good eye on him."

Looking at Mao Sui's confused eyes, Zhao Dan made an exception and explained: "If I expected it, this guy would kill Huang Xie in the future."

After hearing what Zhao Dan said, Mao Shui immediately decided to use the surveillance efforts he had originally watched Huang Xie on this man named Li Yuan.

A person who can kill a country's chief minister should of course be worth paying attention to.

As for whether Li Yuan would kill Huang Xie, this question is not what Mao Sui should think about.

What Zhao Dan didn't know was that just when he mentioned to Mao Sui that he would kill Huang Xie in the future, Huang Xie was discussing things with this guy named Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, tell me why King Zhao refused to see me, but instead asked me to see the prince first?"

Huang Xie's face was a little worried.

This mission is a double-edged sword for Huang Xie. If it can be successful, then Huang Xie will naturally be a great achievement; but if it fails, it will give political enemies an excuse to attack out of thin air.

So Huang Xie was very concerned about this task, so he specially brought Li Yuan, a guy who could give him advice.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said to Huang Xie: "Mr. Chunshen, maybe this is because King Zhao is not very satisfied with what the prince did before."

Huang Xie nodded and said, "I have heard of what the prince will do in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although it is indeed a little reckless and easy to be exploited, no matter what, the prince's starting point is for the Great Chu, and his heart is commendable."

Li Yuan looked at Huang Xie in confusion, and then said, "If this is the case, why would Chunshen Jun be furious when he went to meet the prince before?"

Huang Xie sighed and said, "If one day such a prince becomes the King of Chu, do you really think this is a good thing?"

When Huang Xie said this, he seemed very helpless.

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and sighed after a while.

Whether it is Huang Xie or Li Yuan, it is obvious that they are not optimistic about the prince of Chu.

But Li Yuan quickly had another thought.

You should know that Li Yuan’s sister also gave birth to a son, and she is also the most serious son of King Yuan of Chu.

Although Li Yuan’s little nephew does not have an advantage in terms of age or identity than this prince, if he receives Huang Xie’s support, the whole thing may be completely different.

When he thought of this, Li Yuan's eyes had a look of inexplicable expression.

On the third day after meeting the prince of Chu, Zhao Dan finally summoned Huang Xie.

"The foreign minister has seen the king!" Huang Xie saluted Zhao Dan respectfully.

Zhao Dan nodded and said to Huang Xie with a smile: "Chunshenjun seems to have been very busy these days."

According to Hu Yiwei's report, Chunshen Jun has not been idle at all during this period. He visits various ministers in Zhao every day, obviously hoping to get some promises or help from these ministers.

Huang Xie smiled slightly and replied, "King, since I have been entrusted by my king, I will naturally be loyal to my king's affairs."

Obviously, for this Chu State Lingyin who had already had some intention of being forced to go to Liangshan, it is actually not very important to be shameless now, and things are done well.

Zhao Dan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I don't know what happened to the King of Chu entrusted to Chunshenjun?"

Huang Xie's face turned aside and said, "My king hopes to join forces with the king to attack Wei together."

When Zhao Dan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Chunshen, don't you know that Wei is my ally? I don't have the habit of betraying the alliance."

Huang Xie straightened his body slightly and said very seriously: "If Wei State completely accomplished its business a few years later and joined forces with Qin to attack Zhao, it would probably be too late to regret it."

Zhao Dan's eyes flashed and he said, "Even if I want to restrict Wei State, I may not have to cooperate with Chu State, right?"

"No." Huang Xie shook his head and said to Zhao Dan: "If you look at it from other ministers, if the king wants to restrict Wei, Chu will definitely be a partner that the king cannot avoid."

Zhao Dan looked at Huang Xie with great interest and sneered: "Mr. Chunshen, you may not know that if I really want to send troops to attack Wei, then I am afraid that the two Wei countries will not be my opponents together."

Huang Xie looked solemn and said to Zhao Dan: "Now the power of Zhao State's military forces is indeed powerful in the world, but this does not mean that Zhao State can confront the entire world. If the king insists on betraying the alliance and attacking Wei, he will probably be worried about being jointly attacked by the countries in the world? So what the foreign ministers brought to the king this time is a reason why Zhao State can attack Wei without betraying the alliance."

Zhao Dan looked at Huang Xie for a while before saying, "This is the condition for Chu State to form an alliance with me, a reason for letting me send troops to Wei State?"

Huang Xie nodded and said, "Isn't it a good thing for the king to obtain a loyal ally by the way he has always been ill-behaved with the conditions of the foreign minister?"

"Loyalty?" Zhao Dan laughed silently. In this era, loyalty between ministers and kings is rare, let alone loyalty between countries.

But I have to say that Zhao Dan still admires this Chunshen Jun Huang Xie.

After all, he is a person who is not good at diplomacy. To be able to say this, he can actually be considered... to perform well, right?

Perhaps, there is also a guy named Li Yuan here who gives him advice.

So Zhao Dan gave a reply soon.

"no."

Huang Xie's body was shocked, and his eyes widened in surprise, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong: "King, this..."

"No this, that, that." Zhao Dan sighed and said, "Chunshenjun, Chunshenjun, can I bring Zhao to this point. Do you really think I am a fool?"

Zhao Dan deliberately paused, looked at Huang Xie and found that Huang Xie had a confused look on his face, and he immediately became clear in his heart.

This idea was not what Huang Xie thought of himself.

Zhao Dan frowned and said, "Mr. Chunshen, I ask you, if I ignore Wei State and allow Wei State to expand freely, then who do you think Wei State's next expansion goal should be?"

Huang Xie was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face suddenly became ugly.

Looking at the many neighboring countries around Wei, South Korea and Zhao are allies. Qi's national strength should be considered equal to the current Wei State. Only Chu is the best and the most easily defeated target by Wei State.

Everyone knows this principle when picking the persimmons first.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Dan's slightly mocking words rang in Huang Xie's ears at the right time: "If I ignore Wei State, then as long as the King of Wei is not too stupid, then he will definitely destroy Ru Chu State first! So now Chu State needs me, not me needs Chu State, do you understand?"

Huang Xie's face changed drastically.

Zhao Dan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Huang Xie's appearance.

No wonder Huang Xie has always been called the bottom of the Four Gentlemen. As expected, the shortcomings are still somewhat obvious. We have to say so clearly before we can understand it.

To put it bluntly, in this matter, Chu asked Zhao, not Zhao to ask Chu.

Who doesn’t give any benefits when asking others?

Huang Xie, no, it should be said that the person behind Huang Xie who came up with the idea actually wanted to use a naughty alliance to ask Zhao State to send troops to help Chu State solve the super big trouble of Wei State. What isn’t this treating Zhao Dan as a fool?
