Chapter 532 The Le clan and nephew join forces to target Zhao Kuo
An extremely special mission quietly entered the capital of Zhao State Handan without attracting much attention.
The country represented by this mission, Yan State, had just fought to the death with Zhao State in the Battle of Luoshui not long ago, but now, as the loser, Yan State no longer has the confidence to challenge Zhao State anymore, and can only come and ask for peace obediently.
After staying in the inn, Chang Guojun Lejian, the chief envoy of the Yan State envoy, immediately went to the residence of the Grand Sima Lecheng of Zhao State to visit.
In the study, Le Cheng met Le Jian.
Lejian bowed to Le Cheng and said, "My nephew has met Uncle Zhong."
Le Cheng was the father of Le Jian, the clan brother of the Yan general Le Yi. Later, Le Yi was dismissed from office by King Hui of Yan and fled to Zhao State. Le Cheng took him in and recommended him strongly to King Huiwen of Zhao. In the end, King Huiwen of Zhao also named Le Yi as a wish for you.
From this point of view, Le Cheng is undoubtedly the benefactor of Le Yi, the father and son of Lejian.
Looking at the young Lejian, Le Cheng couldn't help but show a feeling on his face: "Nephew, your father passed away, and you left Da Zhao and went to Yan State to inherit the title of Changguojun. I didn't expect that you were so old now."
Lejian smiled and said, "Yes, my uncle is as handsome as before and does not look old at all."
After some polite words, the uncle and nephew who had not seen each other for many years also became much more enthusiastic. Le Cheng smiled and said, "Nephew, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the lobby. Let's have a chat while eating."
Lejian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding it from Uncle Zhong, in the current situation of Dayan, my nephew has come with the heavy responsibility of the king's order, and I really don't have the heart to enjoy the fine wine and delicacies."
Le Cheng was silent for a few seconds and said, "What did King Yan think?"
Lejian hurriedly said: "My king means that he can ced five cities to Zhao State, and at the same time he will continue to abide by the ginseng agreement he made with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo before."
Zhao Kuo's name made Le Cheng's brow jump slightly and said, "Is there any?"
Lejian's expression changed slightly, and then he took out a small box from his arms and placed it gently in front of Le Cheng: "This is the contract book of fifteen shops in Wuyang City, with five ginseng selling, five iron ore smelting and five grain houses.
As long as Uncle Zhong is willing to help Dayan, these shops will be Uncle Zhong from now on.”
Le Cheng was moved when he heard this.
Just fifteen shops don't seem to be anything.
But selling ginseng is definitely a profitable business, and smelting of iron weapons is also a daily profit. Although the grain farm is far less profitable than the above two companies, it is also an indispensable industry.
As long as Le Cheng agrees, it is easy to make money from 70 million yuan a year without saying 10 million yuan a year.
Le Cheng is not Zhao Kuo, and this money is definitely a huge sum of money for him.
Le Cheng pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The King of Yan and his nephew are in love."
Le Cheng opened the box, quickly glanced at the fifteen neatly stacked deeds written on silk paper inside, and then put them away.
Seeing Le Cheng accepting the box, Le Jian also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then there will be Uncle Lao Zhong."
Le Cheng's face suddenly became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Nephew, since they are all family members, then Uncle Zhong won't hide it from you.
Although Uncle Zhong can make suggestions to the Empress Dowager, he cannot guarantee whether the Empress Dowager can listen to Uncle Zhong.”
Although Le Cheng was an important official of Zhao State, he was only the most experienced official of Zhao State. His influence on the major politics of Zhao State was far from that of Zhao State's three giants, Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Kuo, Wu Xin Jun, Zhao Kuo, and Wen Xin Jun, Lin Xiangru.
Lejian smiled slightly and said softly: "If the clan uncle can help introduce Wenxinjun Lin Xiangru, his nephew may have a way to convince him."
This sentence made Le Cheng's eyes flash again, and he was a little surprised.
Although Lin Xiangru fought fiercely with Zhao Kuo, Lin Xiangru has always been considering issues based on the interests of Zhao State. Le Jian actually said that he could handle Lin Xiangru, which is indeed surprising.
However, Le Cheng did not ask, after all, the benefits of tens of millions of dollars in fifteen stores were obtained every year, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Uncle Zhong will contact you, and there will be a reply tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Le Cheng was not worried that his reputation for privately connecting with other countries would spread. Nowadays, many royal families in various countries have been getting along with each other. Relationships like Le Cheng and Le were not considered a big deal.
Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, did not marry the sister of King Wei and the sister of Xinling, Wei Wuji,? No one said that Pingyuan Jun secretly communicated with Wei State.
After agreeing to this matter, the atmosphere in the study naturally became more and more intense.
Lejian said with a smile: "Actually, my nephew has another thing to ask Uncle Zhong."
Le Cheng was a little curious and said, "What else is there?"
Although I knew I was in the secret room of the study, I subconsciously looked around when the music room opened my mouth, and then whispered: "My nephew wants to ask Uncle Zhong to help, and get rid of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!"
The study suddenly became quiet, and the smile on Le Cheng's face disappeared instantly.
After a while, Le Cheng said lightly: "Nephew, Uncle Zhong is a minister of the Great Zhao after all. How could he help you Yan State do such a thing?"
He laughed happily and said, "Uncle Zhong, the situation of your humiliation by Wu Xinjun on the bank of Luoshui has spread all over the world, so why should you speak like this?"
Le Cheng's face changed drastically, and he slapped the table with a bang: "Enough!"
Le Cheng was really angry.
He went to Luoshui with confidence to take over, but he witnessed Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's surprise victory. He was slapped in the face in front of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Zhao-Han Allied Forces. This experience really makes people want to dig a hole in the ground and drill it into the ground.
This music room is like picking up any pot without opening.
Looking at Le Cheng with anger on his face, Le Jian was not afraid at all, but still said in extremely sincere words: "Uncle Zhong, my king and my nephew are just one sentence. If Uncle Zhong needs the power of Da Yan in the future in the process of overthrowing Wu Xinjun, just contact Da Yan!"
After saying this, Lejian took out a token and placed it carefully in front of Lecheng.
This is a token that can enter the Yan State Palace and the Chang State Lord Lejian Mansion as soon as possible.
Le Cheng looked at this token and the anger on his face gradually disappeared and turned into a heartbeat.
With the current situation, it is obviously very difficult to defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo in the domestic political arena.
But if there is the foreign aid of Yan State, things may be much easier.
Le Cheng pondered for a long time, and finally picked up the token in his hand and said slowly: "Uncle Zhong will not give you any guarantee for this matter."
As if to make Lejian and King Yan feel at ease, Le Cheng added: "Actually, I have already made some plans, just wait."
The joy in Lejian's eyes became more and more obvious, and he hurriedly said, "Of course this nephew understands. Please rest assured, Dayan and his nephew will always support Zhong Shu to defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!"
Le Cheng and Le looked at each other and suddenly laughed at the same time.
Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, who was far away in the Linzi battlefield, didn't know that a brand new interest group that wanted to kill him had been quietly born.
