Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 107
Yan Dan walked out of King Yan's palace, feeling heavier than ever.

Looking at the red sun hanging in the sky, even the face that has always been strictly strict about keeping emotions in check can inevitably show a hint of bitterness.

The joy of defeating Yan Chunjun only lasted seven days, and his heart dropped.

"Am I the master of this Yan country, or are you the master?"

His father's roar is still ringing in Yan Dan's ears. Various plans and personnel changes he proposed, in these seven days, he just completed a small part of it, like cutting through the mess with a knife, before he was personally terminated and most of them were abolished.

In terms of power, Yan Dan is indeed much stronger than when Yan Chunjun was there, but the most critical things are still firmly in the hands of his father.

As for his idea of ​​resisting Qin, he was reprimanded most ruthlessly:
"Qin is a great country and must not be offended or used as an excuse to attack."

After being completely blocked by this order, Yan Dan's rationality told him that he needed to hide his ambition: his father was old, and it would only last ten years at most. He could always succeed to the throne and act boldly according to his own wishes.

But in fact, let alone ten years, even one day later, the Yan State would have less power to fight against the Qin State, and it would not be able to delay it at all.
Can the method used to deal with Yan Chunjun be
As soon as this treasonous thought came up in his mind, he immediately shook his head and rejected it: This is his father, the king of Yan State, and there is absolutely no way this matter will succeed.

In the court, there was not much that he could do. Yan Chunjun's remnants introduced a new talker. Although the prestige and the trust of King Yan in him were far less than those of Yan Chunjun, after all, it was a trouble that required a lot of effort. , with today's father's attitude, he can only deal with it in a long-term tug of war.

In addition to his identity as the Crown Prince of Yan State, he also had to make use of his other identity as a disciple of the Mohist family.

Sometimes what can be done in the arena is far more direct and effective than in court.

"I have to go back and talk to Juzi!"

With a flick of his sleeves, Yan Dan's tenacity cheered him up again, his face returned to seriousness, and he returned to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw Ju Wu wandering back and forth at the door with an anxious look on his face, which shocked him: "Teacher, what happened!"

"Your Highness, there is news that requires you to make a decision yourself." Ju Wu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Dan's sleeve. He did not care that this behavior was a great disrespect for the royal family: "General Yan Yi, I want to make a decision with you." Marriage!"

"Marriage." Yan Dan's movements to appease the teacher's emotions were paused.
"The King is not satisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince. Is this marriage still necessary?"

In the General's Mansion, Yan Yi hesitated again after learning the intelligence coming from the palace. It seemed that the prince's future was not so bright?
"General, you should invite the Crown Prince to a banquet and continue to discuss this matter in depth!" Seeing Yan Yi's hesitation, the smart butler quickly said: "It is at this time, General, that you can surrender to the Crown Prince so that you can be reused by the Crown Prince in the future!"

"But where is the king?"

"The king is already old, but His Royal Highness is still in his prime!"

The butler gritted his teeth and read out the most disrespectful line: "General, with the king, the most you can do is maintain your current position, but if you add a layer of kinship with His Highness, you can become the king and become the prime minister, and you can do a lot!"

"Oh~" Yan Yi listened to the butler's words. After careful examination, he couldn't think of anything, but it seemed to make some sense:
"If I unite with the prince, even the king will really find it difficult to touch me?"

"Exactly!" The steward knelt down and kowtowed: "General, you may not be unable to enjoy Lord Yanchun's power after His Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne!"

"Okay!" Yan Yi felt itchy after hearing this. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I will go to the Prince's Mansion again and tell you that I, the general, will have a banquet for His Highness the Prince in three days' time at Golden Terrace. I also hope that His Highness will be entertained." Reward!"

"As ordered!"

The clever butler ran out quickly, glanced secretly in a certain direction in the mansion, and then went straight to the Prince's Mansion.

When he arrived at the target location, he entered through the small door and saw Ju Wu in a side room!

"Master Taifu, Yan Yi has made up his mind to marry His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Kneeling down and kowtowing neatly, the butler smiled flatteringly.

"You did a good job!" Ju Wu stretched out his right hand behind his back and threw a piece of gold in front of the steward: "If this happens, your reward will be indispensable!"

"Thank you, Master Taifu! Thank you, Master Taifu!"

The butler didn't check it, and quickly stuffed the gold ingot into his arms, smiling happily: "The general will entertain His Highness the Crown Prince at a banquet on the Golden Terrace in three days. I hope the Master can tell His Highness."

"Well, you can go back and let me know if anything happens."

"Little one takes command!"

Seeing the little man retreating humbly, Ju Wu stroked his long beard, but his heart was filled with joy:
This kid Lu's method is indeed effective. I have wasted all those years in the past, but now that I have learned it, the results are immediate!

He walked slowly outside the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, looked at Yan Dan whose expression was changing inside, shook his head, and thought silently: "Your Highness, this plan is not something I intentionally concealed from you."

"Although Yan Yi is a villain, he has been deeply involved in the military for many years and has many close followers. Being able to unite with him will be very helpful to His Highness's plan!"

"This Yan Yun is the daughter of the former General Yan Xing. She has a good character and is a better match in terms of family status than the girl from the Yin Yang family with strange origins."

When the smart housekeeper returned to the General's Mansion, he did not go to find Yan Yi immediately. After carefully observing to make sure that no one was paying attention, he quietly came to the backyard.

"Miss Yun, this is probably done!"

He knocked three times at a slightly shabby window.

"Thank you so much for the family order." A soft female voice came from the room: "If Ayun can marry into the prince's house this time, please mention the family order's name to His Highness."

"Miss Yun, you don't have to be polite. This is my duty. The girl is deeply bullied in this house, and I really can't stand it."

As he said this, the housekeeper subconsciously touched the gold ingot in his arms, and a snicker appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Wei didn't know what happened at the Prince's Mansion. He was drinking with Tian Guang at the Longmen Inn.

"Luqiu Pavilion is in Jicheng, why has it been retreating in large numbers recently?"

After two years of self-employment, Tian Guang's reputation in Jicheng has greatly increased. Several drinkers passing by took the initiative to say hello to him.

Tian Guang smiled and returned the greetings one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on the new sword on Hall Master Lu's waist.

"The country of Yan is not safe. As the leader of the hall, I naturally have to take precautions and interrupt early."

Lu Wei followed his gaze and took the initiative to take off the Swallowing Sea Sword and placed it on the table. This action immediately attracted the attention of several nearby rangers: What a sword!
Tian Guang's eyes sharpened: "What news did you get?"

"Three months ago, the State of Qin sent the internal history of the DPRK to the land of Nanyang in South Korea to prepare for the attack."

"The purpose, it goes without saying, the war will resume again." "The forces of the six countries, either the king is stupid, the court has no good ministers and generals, or the army has no ambition to fight. No matter what the plan of Lord Changping is, In this case, everything will fail.”

While the two chatted, they paid close attention to their surroundings to ensure that no one paid attention to what they were saying.

"You are so unfavorable to the Six Nations, but you still persuade me to help Li Mu?"

"I will only help myself and the farmers." Lu Wei put his palm on the Swallowing Sea Sword and felt the pattern on it: "As for Li Mu, helping him is not helping Xia Kui's plan~"

"You killing Lord Yan Chun will indeed help my plan a lot, and Li Mu."

Tian Guang's voice suddenly paused, and he waited until a drinker passed by before continuing: "In Zhao State, the person chosen for the plan is Zhao Jia."

"The result is the same. No matter what, the war will burn across the seven countries, and Daze Mountain will become the last refuge for farmers."

Lu Wei said boldly without caring about Xiakui's face: "If Xiakui still wants to push forward the plan, it is best to establish a relationship with Prince Dan as soon as possible. Time is never on the Six Nations' side."

"I will remember this advice." Tian Guang looked at the young man in front of him for a long time. He suddenly laughed and poured wine into his mouth. Even because he moved too hard, a large amount of liquid leaked out and wet his chest.

The master's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he noticed a knight clad in black robes walking down from the second floor of the inn. His right hand held a long sword with a special handle.

Jet black hilt, jet white scabbard.

The man in black robe sensed that there was an inner force probing him, so he turned around and immediately locked onto the table of Lu Wei and Tian Guang, realizing that both of them were actually people with deep inner strength.

The three of them did not engage in a confrontation. Instead, they took back their inner energy and missed each other.

"What happened today is a lesson to you?"

After the man in black robe walked out of the inn, Tian Guang put down his wine glass, his eyes unusually clear.

"Yes, since I grew up, most of the people I have met are not as good as myself." Lu Wei nodded frankly: "None of the enemies I have fought against is a true master."

"In addition, my skills have improved recently, and it is normal for me to feel arrogant and complacent, so my daily actions are inevitably less cautious than before."

When it comes to criticizing himself, Hall Master Lu is not soft-spoken: "With my mentality, it's okay if I don't suffer a loss. Once I suffer a loss, I'm afraid I have to pay some unexpected price."

"Fortunately, I met the Six-fingered Black Man of the Mo family today. He is an upright person."

"Is it just today that I made a mistake?" Tian Guang asked relentlessly.

"Other mistakes are not enough to explain to Master Xia Kui~"

Lu Wei shook his head, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and competed with the other party for the few peanuts left on the plate.

The woman Yan Dan brought back from Qin was naturally Feiyan, the owner of the Yin Yang family.

Ju Wu knew her identity, but King Yan did not.

Yan Dan is the prince of a country, and everything about him is no small matter to this country.

Therefore, when he first declared that he wanted to marry the true love he met in Qin after he escaped, King Yan didn't care. However, there were many opponents among the prince's subordinates.

Even Ju Wu, who knew the identity of this woman, had tried to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince many times.

There is no other reason: the crown princess of a country is not something that just any cat or dog can be.There are two key points: one is noble birth, and the other is dignified behavior.

No matter how many other bonus points there are, without the blessing of these two points, it is not enough.

After taking office as King Zhao, he married a prostitute and became the laughing stock of the Seven Kingdoms.The state of Zhao was also tortured by the prostitute, and its national strength was greatly reduced, which was enough to arouse the wariness of other countries.

Yan Dan remained unmarried until he came of age. Many of the prince's subordinates were keeping an eye on this relationship, including Ju Wu himself. There were also several women of the right age in his family.

But I don’t know why the prince went to Qin State and was fascinated by a charlatan. How could he talk about true love?
Is this what you should say as a prince of a country, or as a noble noble?

But His Highness the Crown Prince insisted again and again, and King Yan did not object, so the marriage was decided on a good and auspicious date, which would be next autumn.

Regarding this matter, there are many people who have criticisms.

Ju Wu sighed, but he had already admitted it. He thought that Prince Dan had never done anything disrespectful since he was a child, so it was okay to indulge in this once.
But just when he was learning the operation of Lu Qiuge and secretly planning the general's palace recently, he wanted to surprise the prince. Yan Chunjun died suddenly, Yan Yi's attitude wavered, and the housekeeper in the palace accidentally said that Yan Xing's daughter was being bullied. This made Master Ju Wu suddenly have a plan in his mind:
Such a marriage would not only clear the bloodline of the royal family from contamination, but also extend the influence of the Prince's Palace into the army!

Isn’t it possible to kill two birds with one stone?
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that his idea was brilliant. Ju Wu smiled and approached Yan Dan again.

It happened that Yan Dan was negotiating with the six-fingered black man of the Mo family. He was not in a hurry. After waiting for about half an hour, he saw the black man silently opened the door and left without saying hello.

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, walked out with a frown on his face: "There are too many things to worry about these days!"
"His Royal Highness, tomorrow night is Yan Yi's banquet. I feel that no matter what decision His Highness makes, he should go and see this general."

Ju Wu came forward with a brisk posture and a solemn face.

"That's what the teacher said." Yan Dan's voice was dull. He has never been a hesitant person, but this matter is really difficult to make a decision: "Then let's cancel the other arrangements for tomorrow night. The general's military will shut down our tens of thousands of troops from the Yan Kingdom. , can’t be rude.”

"Old minister, the arrangements have already been made!" Ju Wu chuckled. He knew that the most difficult thing to persuade his student was to make him sway, but once he was swayed, His Highness's heart would always be biased towards greater interests.

"Tomorrow night I was supposed to meet Jicheng Festival Hero Tian Guang, but I have postponed the date to next week."

"Why next week?" Yan Dan was still confused and asked subconsciously.

"The general has hosted a banquet for His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow night. As a return gift, His Highness the Crown Prince should also invite the General."

Ju Wu raised his hand and explained with a smile: "Logically speaking, we shouldn't be in such a hurry, but His Highness also knows that the current situation is changing rapidly. If Yan Chunjun's remaining troops are allowed to pull the general back, things will be complicated. A thousand times more!"

"This matter." Yan Dan closed his eyes slightly and opened them with force: "Teacher is right, we really can't delay the time!"

The two went to the meeting hall while chatting, and just after they left, a beautiful figure walked out of the next door house. She watched the figure go away with fascination, and then her eyes suddenly became fierce:
"Six-fingered Black Man?"
