Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 199 The message is wrong
Handan Royal Palace, a side hall.Zhao Yu looked at the civil and military officials frowning, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "How should I respond to the envoys of the Lou Fan and Lin Hu clans?"

"Your Majesty must not cut land for Lin Hu and Lou Fan for no reason."Xue Li spoke to Zhao Yu.

Dawuwu looked at Guowei, and asked Xue Li: "Guowei knows that Lin Hu is gathering troops wantonly, once he rejects the request of the envoys of the two races. I dare to ask Guowei, given the current situation in our country, whether he can resist Lin Hu Hu and Lou Fan join forces to go south".

"I don't suggest that the king cede the land of Xincheng."Zhao Zhen, the commander of the imperial army, looked at Zhao Yu, how could he agree that the lands in Xincheng belonged to the sphere of influence of the public clan.

Zhao Yu looked at the officials with a sad face: "Why do you want to cede the land in the new city to Lou Fan and Lin Hu?"

"Your Majesty, think twice. Once the two clans are determined to want the new city and the land, I will ask you a rebellious question. If there are changes in the country, can the new city be kept?".Dawuwu bowed to Zhao Yu and asked.Once Zhao Fan raises an army, if the princes come to help, the land in the new city will be empty.That being the case, it is better to feed Lin Hu and Lou Fan directly with the new city, and then send a large army to return after the country is stable.

Zhao Yu stared dumbly at Xue Li and Zhao Zhen, and the two were also silent.

Dawuwu took the opportunity to propose to Zhao Yu: "Since our country can't stop it, we can give the land of the new city to the two clans, and it won't be too late when the king of the country calms down and wants to return."

"Absurd, since the founding of the country of Zhao, Xincheng has always been the front line of our country's defense against Lou Fan and Lin Hu. Once you put your hands on it, how will you let the people of the world see my country of Zhao?".Zhao Zhen couldn't help it, and asked Dawuwu, his tone was full of disrespect.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure appeared, as if he had thought of something and suppressed it instantly: "Naturally, the widow would not be the person who sacrificed the land for no reason to a foreign race, whether the words of Commander Zhao Zhen to Xiangguo just now Some have passed."

"The minister was rude just now, and I asked the king to forgive my sin, and I also asked the prime minister to forgive me."Zhao Zhen came to his senses and quickly apologized to Zhao Yu and Da Wuwu.

Dawuwu looked at Zhao Zhen, thinking of the forces behind him, how could he show an angry face: "It's okay, this is all a political dispute, and it's natural for Zhao Zhen to look excited."

"You are all ministers of the humerus of the widow. When the civil and military work together to stabilize the situation in our country, you can show your prestige outside the territory and wash away today's shame."Zhao Yu looked at the two and encouraged them.

Dawuwu and Zhao Zhen hurriedly saluted Zhao Yu: "The ministers and others will follow the will of the king and work together to stabilize the situation. Spread the prestige outside the territory and wash away today's shame."

Xue Li looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart.Since the death of the previous king and the ascension of the great king.I can feel that I am being squeezed out in the middle of the court, and I am afraid that it will not be a good thing in the long run.

At this time footsteps sounded, Xue Li looked over subconsciously, his eyes lit up.His eyes drifted to Gao Zhao, and a hint of understanding rose in his heart.If one day I can't tolerate the king, maybe I can rely on this person to protect my family.

Huang Hao walked slowly with Zhao Wuming, a smile appeared on Zhao Yu's face: "Fourth brother, you are finally here."

"I was entangled in trivial matters, so I came a little late, so please don't blame me."Zhao Wuming replied with a smile to Zhao Yu.

Baiguan listened to Zhao Wuming yelling one big brother at a time, and gradually frowned in his heart.In the past, the king was alive because of the enmity between father and son.But now that the king has already ascended the throne, why is he still so ignorant of his dignity.Thinking of some officials here, they are planning to reprimand them.But just opened his mouth but closed it again.Not to mention the brotherhood between him and the king, not to mention the elite team outside the city, just to say that Gao Zhao is not something he can offend.

Zhao Yu had a panoramic view of the expressions of all the officials, and then looked at Zhao Wuming: "The Linhu and Loufan clans threatened the widow to cede the land in the new city to the two clans. I don't know what the fourth brother thinks about this matter."

"I don't know what elder brother means about this matter."Zhao Wuming didn't rush to answer, but asked Zhao Yu back.

Zhao Yu showed a look of embarrassment, and then sighed: "Cutting the soil is like cutting flesh. How can a widow bear the pain of cutting his own flesh and give it to Lin Hu and Lou Fan. It's just that the current situation is unstable. If Lin Hu and Lou Fan join hands to go south, Our country is simply irresistible."

"In this way, the big brother is in a dilemma. Is it because of the four words that it is difficult to resist?".Zhao Wuming asked Zhao Yu back.

Zhao Yu replied without hesitation: "That's natural. If the situation is stable, why should I be afraid of Lin Hu and Lou Fan?"

"About the matter of cutting the soil, my younger brother seems to have heard something different from my elder brother."Zhao Wuming smiled when he heard Zhao Yu's reply without thinking.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and looked at Huang Hao: "You didn't tell the widow's fourth brother in detail?".

"Great Wang Mingjian..."Huang Hao hurriedly bowed and saluted, explaining to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Wuming interrupted Huang Hao's words, and explained to Zhao Yu: "Eunuch Ling has already informed Gu of this matter in detail, but my brother heard different news from others."

"Where else is there?".Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming with puzzled eyes.

Zhao Wuming explained in detail to Zhao Yu: "I don't know, big brother, but I heard that the Linhu clan has gathered troops wantonly during this time."

"The widow just heard this news, so he will be embarrassed about cutting off the land in the new city."Although Zhao Yu didn't understand why Zhao Wuming asked this question, he still replied to him.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yu who was puzzled, and asked him: "I don't know how big brother and the officials in this hall know about Lin Hu's domestic affairs? Can you know the age of King Lin Hu, and how many children King Lin Hu has?"

"Dare to ask the fourth son of King Cheng, is this related to the ceding of the new city?".Dawuwu couldn't help asking Zhao Wuming, but there was some questioning emotion in his tone.

Gao Zhao looked at Dawuwu, and said to him: "The fourth son of Chengwang asked about this, so there is a reason. I don't know why Xiangguo, not only did not answer, but asked in a hurry."

"Master Gao..."Dawuwu didn't expect Gao Zhao to jump out in such a hurry, and couldn't help showing displeased eyes.But seeing Gao Zhao surrounded by a group of officials, standing with him indistinctly, he was silent immediately.

Seeing that Dawuwu was silent, Zhao Yu looked around at all the officials: "I don't know who can answer the question of the widow's fourth brother."

"The old minister knows a thing or two."Seeing many officials peeping at each other, Xue Li bowed to Zhao Yu and replied.

Zhao Yu looked at Xue Li in surprise.I thought that with the Prime Minister Wu Wu in front, no matter if he knew or didn't know, he would give some face and not say anything.But now that I think about it, I was wrong, so I looked at him with doubts: "I would like to ask the captain of the country to explain it in detail."

"As far as the veteran knows, King Lin Hu is over [-] years old and has only one son under his knees. It is a miracle that he has been weak and sick all these years, but he has been slow to make Mr. Lin Hu the crown prince."Xue Li slowly explained to Zhao Yu, and at the same time, he was talking to all the officials to listen.

Zhao Yu's puzzled eyes became more intense, as if he didn't know it at all: "Strange, why didn't you make the only son the crown prince?"

"That's because King Lin Hu believes in the prime minister, and it is rumored that King Lin Hu has the idea of ​​abdicating the throne to the prime minister."Xue Li explained to Zhao Yu in detail.

As soon as this remark fell, there was an uproar in the court, no matter whether they had heard it or not, they all showed the same expression.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming suspiciously, and asked Zhao Wuming: "What Guo Wei said, the fourth brother is still satisfied."

"How can there be any satisfactory words, but the words of Guowei are exactly the same as the ones I have heard."Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu seemed to hear something from Zhao Wuming's words, but he was not sure: "Where did the fourth brother hear about it?".

"Didn't Yong'er and Zimo tell Big Brother some time ago?".Zhao Wuming didn't explain, but asked Zhao Yu back.

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly, this time he was really confused: "I don't know, some time ago Yong'er played truant from school, and I was furious. Immediately ordered him to be confinement for one month. It seems strange that the crown prince has been very different during this period of time. , it is a bit too obedient in the prince's mansion."

"It's no wonder that the elder brother is puzzled, just now the younger brother asked about it."Zhao Wuming showed a suddenly realized expression.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming and asked him, "Please fourth brother speak clearly."

"My little brother had a safari competition with Yong'er some time ago, and he happened to rescue a man from Lin Hu. Listen to his story. This man is Lin Wu, son of Lin Hu. He fled to Handan because of the power minister who sent someone to hunt him down. If the eldest brother If you are willing to help, he is willing to thank you with your skin."Zhao Wuming relayed Lin Wu's words to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was startled, then overjoyed, and then shook his head slightly: "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally and unfortunately, why didn't the eldest brother call to ask."Zhao Wuming reminded Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled: "Could this person be outside?".

"The man is out there".Zhao Wuming affirmed to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu looked at Huang Hao, and told him: "Quickly call this person for an audience."

"Follow the order".Huang Hao bowed to receive the order, turned around and walked outside.

Not long after footsteps sounded, Lin Wu came from outside, and saluted Zhao Yu respectfully: "Mr. Lin Hu, Lin Wu, see King Zhao."

"You say you are the only son of King Lin Hu, but I don't know what proof you have."Zhao Yu asked Lin Wu.

Lin Wu replied to Zhao Yu without hesitation: "The envoy Lin Hu is in this palace, why didn't King Zhao summon him and ask him?"

"Okay, widow, this is...".Zhao Yu immediately replied that he would summon Lin Hu's envoy without hesitation.

Dawuwu hurriedly said to stop him: "Wait a minute, my lord, even if this person is Mr. Linhu, so what? Even if Linhu doesn't go south, the Loufan clan is not our country, and it can resist at this time."

"So what does Yi Xiangguo mean?"Before Zhao Yu could reply, Zhao Wuming asked Dawuwu.

Dawuwu looked at Zhao Wuming: "If we can get rid of the Loufan and Linhu clans, then only the places in Xincheng can be preserved."

"If the eldest brother can let the younger brother handle this matter, the younger brother promises to persuade the envoys of the Lou Fan and Linhu clans. I don't know what the elder brother wants."Zhao Wuming did not reply to Dawuwu, but looked at Zhao Yu instead.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised, and looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled: "Why is the fourth brother so determined? You must know that even if this person is the only son of King Lin Hu, the best result is nothing more than quitting Lin Hu."

"I heard that Linhu people are good at archery, and Lou Fanren is good at riding and fighting, so my younger brother is willing to let Fuchu's personal guards compete with them."Zhao Wuming changed the subject and proposed to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu didn't understand, so his eyes were full of doubts.Xue Li nodded slowly, and quickly agreed: "If you can kill the arrogance of the two clans, it's not bad."

"The minister agrees with the proposal of the fourth son of Cheng Wang, and competes with Linhu in archery and Lou Fan in riding."Gao Zhao immediately expressed his agreement.

More than a dozen officials standing beside Gao Zhao stood up and echoed: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

"According to what the fourth brother said, immediately go to the main hall to hold a court meeting."After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he led all the officials and walked directly to the main hall.
