Chapter 176 Walking on Thin Ice (6)
Piao Tian Wenxue Zhao Yong's eyes lit up and he began to seriously consider the proposal to slow down the building.
Indeed, if Zhao could successfully annex the powerful Qin and defeat Qi at his hands, the territory would inevitably expand significantly. Guanzhong and Handan were thousands of miles apart, and it was extremely inconvenient to travel. It would be better to divide a son into a royal family in Guanzhong according to the old Zhou Dynasty system. This would not only prevent the two brothers from fighting for the position of King Zhao, but also effectively manage the land in Guanzhong, add a powerful helper to Zhao's local area, and ultimately help him realize his desire to unify the world.
Zhao Yong pondered for a long time and finally nodded, "Okay, let's do it this way. Zhang'er is back and will participate in the court meeting tomorrow. He is awarded the title of Anyang Jun. Except for his uncle, he is the highest in foreign countries, and he is qualified to participate in the political discussion. With you echoing him in the court, we will try every means to build momentum for him, so that he will definitely gain a foothold in the court."
Seeing the master's father nodding and agreeing, Lou Yan put a stone in his heart and felt much more relaxed. Suddenly, he thought of something and said again, "Mr. Anyang is good at martial arts, and his cunning is not his strength. It is better to have him a staff member who is good at strategy."
Speaking of this, the Tower paused, glanced at the master's father and continued, "I heard that Sima Tian in the Anyang Jun army was not polite and keen and steady. He was a rare talent and could be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "Tian Buli...well, I have some impression."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yong suddenly looked up and down for a while, and smiled with a hint of ridicule, "Why did Lou Xiang? How much benefit you have charged someone else this time? You are so hard at talking to Tian Buli."
Lou Yan was told about the main story by his father, and his face was embarrassed.
This is also a major stain on Lou Yan's behavior. Unlike the clean and greedy morality, Lou Yan, who is both the main father and the important minister, prefers money and women. When he is in office, he often receives bribes and filial piety from others. This time, Tian Buli was just what he liked. He came to Handan before Anyang Jun entered the capital. Lou Yan, who is an important minister, was naturally the key figure he had made.
Zhao Yong naturally had heard of the problem of building a slowdown, but most of them ignored it.
Lou Yan is still a decisive person. He uses his private rights to do some harmless things, so Zhao Yong turned a blind eye.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the person is clear, there will be no disciples. Of course, the superiors cannot blindly demand harsh demands on their subordinates, otherwise who will be willing to do things for you in the long run? In addition to the principle, appropriate modifications should be allowed.
Lou Yan's expression returned to normal at this time, and he bowed and said, "I made my father laugh, and I can't hide some of my small actions. However, the father should know my habits. If this person was not really talented, I would not have accepted his benefits and recommended them to you."
"Although Tian Buli is a little slick, he has clear thinking and sharp eyes. I have been talking to him for a long time and can feel that he is a rare talent, which can indeed greatly make up for the shortcomings of Anyang Jun's lack of strategy."
Zhao Yong nodded and said, "I have also heard Zhang'er say Tian Buli several times. You both like him. That must be his outstanding features. In this way, you can find an opportunity to enter the court and add a great help to Zhang'er."
He thought for a moment, "Now the land of the Dian has been granted to Zhang'er, and the power of the Dian Prime Minister is far from comparable to before. Zhao Gu is also a talented person, so let him be transferred to Zhongshan as the Dian Prime Minister. The Dian Prime Minister was replaced by Tian Buli, and his rank and salary remained unchanged. He went to the court to discuss matters. Is that good?"
Lou Yan didn't expect that the master father would give Tian Buli so much pleasure to give the position of Chief Minister to Tian Buli. He was overjoyed. After thinking about it, he replied: "It's great, but the king and Fei Yi may not agree."
Zhao Yong sneered, "What they dare not disagree. Zhongshan and Daidi have always been my final say. If they break the rules, don't blame me for not following the rules."
Lou Yan felt relieved, so he could have paid Tian Buli. You know, Tian Buli spent a lot of money to make friends with him. Not only did he bring two pairs of Kunshan jade bi, two good horses, a thousand gold posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles, and two charming beauties. Whenever he thinks of this, Lou Yan couldn't help but feel a heat in his chest and abdomen.
Taking money and doing things with others is Lou Yan's old principle, let alone such a great gift. Since Tian Buli is so sensible, he will naturally give back twice the reward.
Since the important matter had been agreed, Zhao Yong called Zhao Zhang who was waiting to meet in the back hall.
Because he was worried that something would happen on Zhao Zhang on the road, Zhao Yong specially sent Han Sheng to lead the light cavalry to welcome Zhao Zhang with the order of his master. Zhao Zhang received the promise of his master's father, saying that he would win him the land to be king. This made Zhao Zhang, who had lost confidence in retaking the throne, overjoyed, and hurriedly sent Tian Buli to Handan with Chongli to move around, while he himself waited patiently for the news about his master's father.
After seeing Han Sheng, Zhao Zhang immediately went south, and kept walking away from the saddle. When he was tired, he took a nap on the horse's back. He galloped for three days and three nights, and finally rushed from Dai to Handan. When he arrived in Handan, Zhao Zhang didn't have time to rest. He quietly entered the palace of the Lord's father with Han Sheng early in the morning. At this time, the Lord's father summoned Fei Yi and Lou Yan, so he asked him to rest in the side hall for a while. However, Zhao Zhang was worried at this time and did not have the time to rest. While walking back and forth uneasy, he was anxiously waiting for the news. When the Lord's father sent someone to spread it, he hurriedly followed him.
Zhao Zhang had time to wash up all the way, and his whole body looked dusty. When he saw Zhao Yong, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down and bowed; "Son, please see the father."
Since the breakup between Dacha Xingong, the father and son have not met for half a year. Zhao Yong naturally missed him a little. Now seeing his tired expression on his face, he felt a little distressed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
After looking at Zhao Zhang up and down, Zhao Yong smiled and said, "Zhang'er, are you tired all the way? You really feel wronged. Han Sheng, I don't know what he is in a hurry to come back to do!"
Zhao Zhang hurriedly said, "Father Wang Xiu wants to blame General Han, because his son insisted on rushing back to Handan overnight. He has been separated from his father for nearly half a year. His son is really worried. This time he heard that he had the opportunity to come to Handan, so he naturally wanted to come to his father immediately, so he forced General Han to rush back with great speed and moon."
Zhao Yong laughed and patted Zhao Zhang on the shoulder heavily before letting him go. Zhao Zhang turned around and smiled and greeted Lou Yan. The two of them had known each other for many years, so they were not unfamiliar with each other.
Seeing that the father and son were having a happy look, Lou Yan knew that he was an outsider on the side, he smiled and bowed, and then left.
There was no outsider present, and the father and son were much more casual and sat down in the hall. Zhao Yong asked casually about the situation that Dai Di had come during this period. Zhao Zhang also answered in a singular manner, but when he answered, he looked a little absent-minded, so naturally he could not escape Zhao Yong's eyes.
Zhao Yong knew what his son was worried about, so he smiled bitterly, "Zhang'er, I'm sorry for you for something for my father. The position of Dai Wang that he promised to ask for for you before was not successful."
Zhao Zhang's face was stunned, and the lost expression on his face was so unconcealed. After a while, he forced a smile and said, "Father, where are you saying this? Your body and hair are your parents. This is the greatest favor. How can you say sorry or sorry? As for the position of the Dian King, I don't value it too much."
Zhao Yong said with a hint of anger, "Fat Yi is here just now, and I asked him about this matter, but he always talked about the righteousness of the king and his subjects. He always talked about his brother. He said everything he wanted to do, and he would rather die than obey. He is a prime minister and a grand tutor. If he refuses to give up, your brother will not be able to get over it. As for your kingship, the matter of being named king will be left unresolved."
Zhao Zhang's eyes widened and gritted his teeth and said hatred, "It's not that my son said, "You are not taking your father seriously now. You know that you will die with your master. This Hu Manzi is really an unfamiliar wolf. When his father treated him like this, he entrusted the entire Zhao State to him, but he knew that he would not repay you. Now he turned around and became an enemy of your father."
Zhao Zhang paused, leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "Father, since you are not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. I have several assassins with superb martial arts skills, so it's better to send him to kill him so that we can clear us..."
Before Zhao Zhang could finish his words, he saw his father staring at him with a shocked look on his face. He immediately shut up his mouth in horror, knowing that something was wrong.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Zhang for a while and was really surprised. He originally thought that although his eldest son was a little impatient, he was a kind-hearted person after all, and he had a good tolerance. However, he never thought that when Zhao Zhang became so vindictive, Fei Yi just rejected his request for the title of king. He actually came up with such a vicious way to send assassin to assassin.
Zhao Yong stared at him for a long time before speaking, "Who taught you this?"
Zhao Zhang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and bowed his head and said, "It was the one I thought of just being so angry. My son was confused and was obsessed with the ghost for a moment. Don't be angry, father."
Zhao Yong snorted and said, "You must remember that the way of assassination is a kind of inferior person, and it is despised by the world. There are rules of the game between scholars and officials. If you break the rules, why should others believe in you?"
"After all, you are too naive in politics. Do you think we can clear the obstacles once Feiyi dies? It's a big mistake. If Feiyi is assassinated, Gongzicheng and Li Du will definitely attack us under the pretext of investigating this matter. You will definitely be the first to be the one in the court. And now only Gongzicheng, Li Dui and Hu Yi are qualified to inherit the position. No matter whoever becomes the prime minister, they will only be a worse situation for us."
Zhao Yong glanced at his son again and said, "Do you understand now?"
Zhao Zhang said with a little embarrassed expression, "It's my son who is reckless, please forgive me, Father."
