Chapter One Hundred and Four Great Dynasty Letter Palace (22)
Zhao Yong looked up at Lou Yan and said, "Although Qi is strong, the country is rich in all over the world, the country is rich in the people, and has the resources to dominate for several generations. However, the King of Qi is now a perverse person, very happy with merit, and is greedy. He has been attacking neighboring countries all the time since he ascended the throne, offending Chu, Yan, Wei and Han, and complaining in the country. In addition, the conflict with Qi and Qin is sharp. If Wei and Han put aside the conflict with Qin and turned to aligned with each other, Qi will be in danger."
"Although Chu is a big country with a fertile land of thousands of miles and a million armies, the population is far better than the other six countries. However, the martial arts wind in Chu is weak, the local strength is strong and the military power is lost. The whole country is like a pile of scattered sand, and the whole country is like an old woman who is just eating her old capital."
"Wei and Han are located in the four battles in the Central Plains. They are sandwiched between the great powers and continue to breathe. Even if they are determined to be self-reliant, they are unable to make a comeback. As for Yan, the King of Yan is a character. It's a pity that Yan is still cold and weak, and it is difficult to achieve success."
"So if there is no accident, the ownership of the world will arise between our State of Zhao and Qin. That's why I always regard Qin as our State of Zhao as the strongest opponent and the only opponent. And I, Zhao Yong, don't like the other five countries."
Lou Yan said in a deep voice, "Master, please forgive me for your wishes. If you really have the ambition to embezzle Qin, it will be too late. The political situation of Qin has gradually stabilized, and the national power, which has been greatly damaged due to the rebellion of the throne, has gradually recovered. If this continues, it will take less than a few years for Queen Mother Mi to fully control Qin and reorganize the military and leave the pass to war. I am afraid that if we attack Qin at that time, it will be difficult to conquer it in a hasty way."
Zhao Yong waved his hand and said, "No rush, I have more important things to do now."
Lou Yan was stunned. In his impression, the master's father had always been determined to win the Qin State. He had always dreamed of more than 20 years. When he followed the master's father, he repeatedly deduced the detailed plan to destroy Qin with him more than once. Originally, Lou Yan thought that after the Great Dynasty's Xingong Palace, the master's father would immediately attack Qin State, and condescendingly attack Qin State's weak Shangjun from Yunzhong, and then enter Guanzhong to completely destroy the terrifying war machine of Qin State. However, he never expected that Zhao State had such strength and was not anxious, which was really puzzling.
At that moment, he asked a little strangely, "What is more important than this."
Zhao Yong did not reply immediately, but just stared at Lou Yan, and said slowly for a long time; "Now Zhao has deviated from my control. I must take charge of Zhao again and gather the strength of the whole country to attack Qin, so that I will have a chance of winning. If the country is unstable, I will definitely lose."
Lou Huan was shocked, looked at the Lord Father with a surprised face and said, "Lord Father...what do you mean? Do you want to..."
"It's not interesting." Zhao Yong said in a faint tone, but his tone was gloomy and terrifying.
"I just want to get back what I gave up before, that's all." He said, "I looked up at Lou Yan and said, "Didn't you both dissuaded me to abdicate He'er at the beginning? Now I really regret it. Now I want to correct this mistake, what's wrong?"
Lou Yan was silent, but just looked at the Lord's Father quietly, his eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't speak.
Zhao Yong waited patiently for a long time, but he didn't see him say a word, and couldn't help but say uncontrollably, "Why don't you speak? What do you think of me?"
Lou Yan looked at the Lord Father and spoke slowly, "Lord Father, then what do you want me to say?"
"Nonsense." Zhao Yong waved impatiently, "You are the person I trust the most, and I naturally hope you can speak to me truthfully."
"Okay, since you want me to tell the truth, then as a minister, I do not agree. Lord Father, let me ask you, do you still remember how you convinced me and Feiyi when you first abdicated."
"Of course I remember." Zhao Yong's embarrassment flashed and he said, "I thought that I had been leading the army for many years and the royal power had been in the court for many years. Moreover, I was unsure of my whereabouts. If there was an accident, the throne of Zhao would inevitably attract many people to look at it."
"After the three families of our country of Zhao divided Jin, the previous king died suddenly without a prince several times, which led to the murder of each prince. Zhao State's power gradually declined due to constant civil strife. So I wanted to send He'er a journey after I died alive, so as not to cause any changes if he took over the enemy rashly."
Lou Yan sighed slightly and said, "I tried hard to persuade Fei Yi, but you just didn't listen. You just insisted on everything you recognized. Lord Father, you have a good idea. The king is in charge of the country, and Lord Father, you are in charge of the army outside. But have you ever thought that once you lose the throne and stay away from the court, you will soon lose the royal power that dominates everything, and the ministers will have a new loyalty partner."
Zhao Yong snorted coldly and said, "It's all right. I have been beaten by Fei Yi several times. I originally wanted Fei Yi to be humble and loyal, and I have always been loyal to me. I would like him to be the prime minister and I will definitely maintain my reputation in the court. But I didn't expect that this guy would make things difficult for me everywhere. I still think he is a good brother for many years."
Lou Yan sighed, hesitated, and said, "Master, don't you understand? Fei Yi is loyal to you. The reason why he is loyal to you is because you are King Zhao and he is minister Zhao. Since you are not King Zhao, the object of his loyalty has changed."
"Fei Yi was a country all his life, and he was always loyal to the State of Zhao, not anyone."
Unfortunately, these words did not touch Zhao Yong's heart at all. He looked at Lou Yan and said, "This time you don't have to go back with the Qin people, stay by my side to help me."
Lou Yan sighed slightly in his heart, but he also knew what Zhao Yong meant by "helping him".
The Lord's father's previous abdication was undoubtedly to avoid the unstable throne in Zhao State, but now he himself has become the biggest factor in the unstable throne. Even if he does not want to regain his son's throne, he must take back the royal power in Zhao He's hands.
Whenever a struggle for royal power within a country begins, it must be the beginning of national chaos. Just hope that Zhao State can become an exception.
ps: Thank you for your company for so long. I didn’t want to say it, but I was still a little confused, so much that I wanted to give up. But after thinking that I worked hard for so long, I couldn’t bear to give up, so I gritted my teeth and persevered.
This book is very tiring and tiring. Maybe it is because it is written too coldly and has a very bleak grade. It is so bleak that I don’t look at the grades every day. Now I regret not listening to some editors and readers’ advice, and writing some hot historical eras, otherwise it would not be the current embarrassing situation. My motivation for writing this book was that I was really interested in the Warring States Period in the "A World of Great Controversy", so I thought about writing a different history of this era. If you are careful, it is not difficult to find that Jiangnan spent a lot of effort in this book, from the main line of history to the consideration of the details of the allusions of characters. In order to write this book, I spent a month reading a lot of various Warring States history. Although I dare not speak it well, at least I know it very much.
Unfortunately, I failed. My grades were really bleak, so that my writing every day became a torment, an unusual torment. I stared at the monitor every night, but I didn’t know what to write. When I was born to Han Xin, although my income was very low, I always had many caring people constantly encouraged and cheered up. Haha, although I am a buyout book, I have become a lonely man, and I have no decent opinions. I just went into seclusion every day and went through chapters to submit the draft. I want the editor to see my grades, and I probably plan to give up on me, and I basically ignore me.
Well, this book is over, and I will find a suitable historical era to start the story in the next book. I will no longer choose a cold historical era that cannot be colder. This book is a very painful lesson. No matter how hard you put in or how much effort you have spent, no one is interested in what you write, and it will eventually fail. Many people have given me opinions before, telling me not to write about the Warring States Period, but I was stubborn and did not listen. Now I have tasted the price.
Chapter completed!
