Chapter 278 The Queen's Love (1)

"Li Qing, I want to give it to you..."

Zhao Wangdan felt that Li Yu's simple request was too few. If it was spread, it would make the people in the world think that Zhao State was stingy.

"Your Majesty, I have an excessive request. I hope you don't blame me." After interrupting Zhao Wangdan's words without hesitation, Li Yu made another request.

"Li Qing, please speak." Zhao Wangdan was not angry at all when he was interrupted by Li Yu, so that there was not much distance between their king and his subjects. This was a feeling that Zhao Wangdan had never experienced before, and it was extremely precious.

"The king also knows that the second camp of Tiger Ben and Knight Cavalry consume a lot of money. My family's property is in short supply. I hope the king will reward some property, so I don't let the family cut off the food." After giving up the position of lord, Li Yu naturally began to ask for money and grain. The last time he refused to exchange for no less than 20,000 gold in wealth, I wonder how much this time he could have.

"Hahaha, I almost forgot that Li Qing was married, and there must be more expenses in the mansion. In this way, I added another 800 households to Li Qing's fief, so I would not have to pay the state tax, and give another 20,000 gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, and a thousand pure land." Hearing Li Yu crying poor, Zhao Wangdan remembered the increased expenses in Li Yu's mansion. He had also heard of Li Yu's subsidies for the second battalion of Hu Ben and the Cavalry. Zhao Mu encouraged him several times for this, but Zhao Wangdan didn't care. Only in this way can the cavalry battalion have such combat power.

"Thank you, the king." After calculating secretly, Li Yu found that this time he had no less than 30,000 gold, especially if the fief did not have to be paid for the state tax, it almost doubled his fief. You should know that the fiefs of all noble ministers now have to be paid half of the national tax, and the fiefs of the king's marquis also have to be paid for 30,000 gold. With such a reduction in King Zhao, Li Yu's fiefs of 1,600 households can earn tens of thousands of gold a year, and there will only be no reduction in the future.

"Li Qing..."

When Zhao Wangdan wanted to continue to say it, Li Yu said again: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you. The ministers of South Korea want to make Prince An the crown prince. The prince broke into my house and hoped that Zhao State would help him. I dare not be good at it. I hope the king will make a decision?"

"Young Master Chuang? What's the difficulty? Youthful Master Chuang has made contributions to my great Zhao. I want to worship him as Gaoping Jun to repay his kindness." After hearing Li Yu's words, Zhao Wangdan, who was born in the royal family, instantly figured out the benefits and thought for a moment and directly decided on the countermeasures.

A young man who is close to Zhao State is undoubtedly a worthy investment for Zhao State.

Although South Korea is small, it is surrounded by powerful countries, and it is difficult to become a real big country. However, South Korea is also one of the six major countries in Shandong, with 300,000 troops and a dangerous place, which should not be underestimated.

Since the three families divided Jin and fought for hegemony, South Korea has been a fence-headed man wandering among the countries, and the stools tend to go to the other side. Because its geography is the center of the countries, every time the rank of the country is inseparable from the world, the figure of South Korea is indispensable. The horoscope army must borrow from South Korea to attack the powerful Qin, and the Qin army also needs to borrow from South Korea to traverse the land of Shandong.

It can be said that South Korea is a must-pass place for all countries to use their troops, but there has never been a strong country with the intention of destroying South Korea. First, the countries are balanced and no one dares to break it first; second, although South Korea is weak, with a military force of 300,000, any strong country will pay a lot of money to seize it; third, if a strong country captures South Korea, it will face its neighbors and face the attacks of the armies of the countries.

Therefore, South Korea became an existence under the tacit understanding of the countries, and could not perish but could not develop. Although Shin Buhe's reforms made South Korea rise for a while, it was limited to the general trend of the countries and the national strength of South Korea itself, it was just a flash in the pan.

For the Qin, Zhao, Wei and Chu countries, South Korea is not a threat, but it is indeed an important force. Once South Korea invests on one side, it will have a huge advantage. Every time it is connected, South Korea often stands on the side of victory.

"The king is wise."

When Li Yu heard that Prince Danfeng of Zhao broke into the king, he was stunned for a moment, and then flattered him for fear of Zhao Wangdan. Li Yu couldn't help but admire Zhao Wangdan's decision. He was worthy of being the king who had been in charge of Zhao for many years. If it were not for the failure of the Battle of Changping, Zhao would have shone a new light in the hands of this king.

Foreign ministers are granted a title. Although the king has rewards, their symbolic meaning is more practical and completely different from the title of a general and minister in the country. The king of foreign ministers does not lead the army, ignores the fiefdom, has no relatives, and does not engage in court affairs. The king can only take advantage of a false title of the throne and a little income from the fiefdom to pull the other party into the side close to his own country, and even lets him serve his own country. This is definitely a cost-effective transaction.

When foreign ministers make great contributions to their own country, the king rewards the position of kings and lords to show the demeanor of a great country and respect for their benefactors. In addition, the position of kings and lords can also be used as a means to win over surrendered generals.

Now there are three foreign ministers in Zhao State, Huang Xie, the king of Lingqiu, Wei Wuji, and Zheng Anping, the king of Wuyang. The first two basically do not use the throne granted by King Zhao. The throne of their country is still well-known. Zheng Anping was a surrendered general of Qin. In order to appease the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who surrendered to Zhao with him, the King of Zhao was appointed as the throne, but he had no actual position and his status was quite embarrassing. Now all the surrendered troops of Qin State have been incorporated by Li Mu, and Wuyang has become an optional idle person. Pushing up, there is also a Wucheng Lord Tian Wen, who is the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period.

In short, the title of the foreign minister is just a name, and in the eyes of King Zhao, it may be less important than a noble minister. The title of the inner minister may have a great influence and must be recognized by the ministers in the court. If the foreign minister is granted a title, the king can basically decide in one sentence. Anyway, not many ministers will care about the foreign ministers with the throne.

"Li Qing, let me go." Knowing that Li Yu did not want to accept his reward, Zhao Wangdan did not continue to persist. After all, Li Yu was still young and was not a real royal lineage. It would be unfair to enthrone the king too early. At worst, you can reward more money in the future.

"yes."

It was rare to walk out of the hall. When Zhao Wangdan was in a state of interest, he and Li Yu walked in the snow. Even the eunuch holding a canopy was driven aside, including the eunuch.

"Li Qing, is the queen asking someone to talk to you? I have the intention to change the crown prince." Although Zhao Wangdan was addicted to beauty, he was not confused and knew very well about the inside and outside the court. After moving the capital for hundreds of years, the eyes and eyes of the king of Zhao had already penetrated into every corner of Handan City.

"Those are all rumors, and I have never believed it." Li Yu was shocked when he heard Zhao Wangdan's question, and soon calmed down and replied calmly. As the highest controller of Zhao State, it is normal for Zhao Wangdan to know something, and Li Yu did not need to hide it. After all, he still has the position of a prince's teacher, and it is human nature to run for his students. This is not the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. In this unpredictable chaotic world, the king is accustomed to the crown prince having his own team, and will also strongly support the crown prince's team to ensure the continuation of the country's destiny.

"Haha, it's Li Qing who knows my intentions. Qi'er has been smart since childhood, and it is the best choice for my Zhao Kingdom. How could I change it at will? Li Qing and the Queen, and I can't explain some things clearly." It is impossible for Zhao Wangdan to say no guilt to his queen, after all, they were so loving.

At the beginning of the throne, the energetic Zhao Wangdan and the gentle and independent queen Han Jing fell in love with each other at first sight. After getting married, they even raised their names and were harmonious and envied by the people. With the support and planning of Queen Han Jing, Zhao Wangdan regained military and political power from the hands of the Queen Mother and Pingyuan Jun and showed their ambitions.

Unfortunately, Changping's defeat completely broke all this. Zhao Wangdan, who was extremely disappointed, drank his sorrows with wine every day, and gradually became alienated from the queen Han Jing who had unconditionally supported him in the past without hesitation. After Zhao Mu took advantage of the situation, Zhao Wangdan lost any interest in Queen Jing. During the ceremony, it was just for outsiders to see.

After Changping's defeat, Zhao Wangdan had never had a room with Queen Jing one day, and now he lives in Tianli Palace every day, and there are only a few meetings with Queen Jing. It is no wonder that Zhao Wangdan felt guilty.
