Chapter 717 Qin Chu's Decision
There was such a huge turmoil in Zhao that the news naturally spread out at a flying speed and reached the ears of the monarchs of other countries.
After learning the news, the King of Qin immediately convened a meeting in the Xianyang Palace Hall to discuss the matter.
The King of Qin said, "Everyone, now there is a sudden civil strife in Zhao State.
The original Xiangbang Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Wenxin Jun Lin Xiangru, Wuding Jun Lecheng have all been imprisoned, and even the Empress Dowager Zhao was deprived of his power of rule and placed under house arrest in the palace.
Tell me, is there any opportunity for Daqin to take advantage of?"
This kind of political struggle is actually not unfamiliar to Qin. King Qin Zhaoxiang, the father of King Qin, had a game with his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, and finally put Empress Dowager Xuan in the palace. It can be said that the method is almost the same as that of Zhao.
The King of Qin did not want to evaluate the matters about his father and grandmother here. He just wanted to know whether Qin could gain some benefits from this matter or a way to weaken Zhao.
As soon as the King of Qin finished speaking, Fan Sui spoke with a roar: "King, the reason why Zhao State has caused internal turmoil this time is because the king's previous wise decisions helped to promote the division within Zhao State itself.
It can be expected that after this internal turmoil, Zhao State will inevitably suffer its strength again. The chance of Qin weakening or even directly defeating Zhao State is already in front of us."
After Fan Sui finished speaking, the King of Qin immediately showed a smile on his face.
For the King of Qin, if Zhao could be weakened, it would definitely be the best news.
On the other side, Qin's crown prince Ying Zichu was also quite happy and said to the King of Qin: "Father, my son thinks it may be time for the Qin Dynasty to unite with other countries to see if it can organize an alliance against Zhao, and then take advantage of the civil strife of Zhao, which will launch an attack on Zhao. Maybe it will completely weaken Zhao and pull Zhao from its position as the hegemon."
As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him. Now that there are such a big dispute in Zhao, the ministers of Qin are naturally not stupid, and they all demand to take advantage of Zhao's chances of weakness and stab Zhao hard in the heart.
The King of Qin nodded and smiled: "It's very good, very good.
Then we will immediately send an order and send an envoy to other countries to see if we can unite with them.
I believe that other countries will see this opportunity and choose to join forces with me and the Qin Dynasty to weaken Zhao State!”
While the King of Qin made the decision, the Chu Palace was also holding a meeting to discuss.
The King of Chu said, "Everyone, now that Zhao State has suddenly had civil strife, how do you view this matter?
Can Da Chu use this matter to gain some benefits that can make Da Chu stronger?"
Today, Zhao State is also bordering Chu State. Therefore, although Chu State is an ally of Zhao State, its fear of Zhao State has never been reduced in its heart.
The predecessor of Zhao State was Jin State. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin State had long suppressed Chu State, making it difficult for Chu State to dominate the Central Plains. The Liangzi of the two countries had already formed at that time, and it was not that the alliance time could be diluted in the past few years.
As soon as the King of Chu finished speaking, the Grand Sima Jingyang of Chu immediately stood up and said, "Return to the King, the old minister believes that at this time, the Great Chu should stand up and find other vassal states to see if there is any possibility of forming an alliance against Zhao.
If the six countries can form an alliance against Zhao, then it is very likely to win if they attack Zhao, which is now in a weak period.
As long as you can win, even if Zhao cannot be directly destroyed, it will at least hit Zhao's national strength heavily, making Zhao unable to maintain its identity as a hegemonic country.
In this way, there will be one powerful enemy missing in the north of Great Chu, and then there will be hope for the revival of Great Chu!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu also shot out a light full of hope in his eyes and said, "The proposal of Grand Sima seems to be very good."
The State of Chu is an ambitious country. The kings of Chu have always been thinking about expanding to the north and annexing the Central Plains. This King of Chu is no exception.
But within a few seconds of Grand Sima Jingyang's speech, another person stood up and objected.
Needless to say, this person is naturally the emperor of Chu, Chunshen, Huang Xie.
Chunshenjun said, "The words of the Great King, the Grand Sima just sound reasonable, but I think we should still make a long-term plan.
You should know that the political faction that Zhao State won this time was Zhao Kuo, Wu Xinjun. This means that if Zhao Kuo was dealing with the enemy of Zhao State, he would definitely be able to lead troops to fight and would receive greater support from Zhao.
A few years ago, Zhao Kuo had already achieved such a shocking record even though he had been restrained by Zhao's own people. This time, once Zhao's full support is full of support, then Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is completely unimaginable! Therefore, the old minister believes that this time is really not suitable for fighting with Zhao, but should wait for another opportunity, at least waiting for the opportunity when Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo are suppressed in the internal political struggle. That is the best opportunity for the Great Chu to send troops."
Judging from Chunshenjun's attitude, he has always been relatively close to Zhao Kuo. Of course, as the prime minister of Chu, Chunshenjun also had to consider the interests of Chu.
Therefore, with this understanding of Zhao Kuo, Chunshenjun did not agree with sending troops because he knew that Zhao Kuo was too strong.
Jingyang was immediately unhappy when he heard this and sneered at Chunshenjun: "Chunshenjun, don't think that everyone doesn't know the relationship between you and Zhao Kuo. You two are business partners, so you have always wanted to help him speak.
But now it is related to the national interests of Da Chu. You can’t betray the national interests of Da Chu just because of your money, right?"
Chunshen Jun was furious when he heard this and shouted at Jingyang: "Jingyang, don't swear by others here. I have always been loyal to Da Chu. When did you say you would sell the interests of Da Chu?
Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo have won all kinds of battles since their debut. You are so rash in order to persuade the king to fight against Wu Xinjun. Wouldn’t you let the soldiers of the Great Chu die?"
Jing Yang sneered and said unwillingly: "Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is indeed very strong, but once the six countries can start together, can Zhao Kuo alone lead Zhao to defeat the six other vassal states?
It's a joke!"
The two of them had a very fierce quarrel, and they all had their own opinions, but they could not get any results.
However, at this time, the King of Chu was obviously moved and said directly: "Okay, there is no need to say anything. I will send someone to visit various countries first to see what the attitude of the kings of various countries are.
If the monarchs of all countries want to weaken Zhao, then we can have some things to talk about!"
