"I haven't left the hall for a long time, so Li Qing accompanied me out for a walk." His mind became much clearer, and Zhao Wangdan also got up to the idea of ​​going out for a walk.

"I obey the order."

When he took Li Yu out of the hall, Zhao Wangdan, who had not seen the sun for a long time, subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, turned his head to look at the scene where the snow melted, and showed an inexplicable melancholy in his eyes, and did not notice the viciousness in the eyes of the favored lady behind him.

"Li Qing, the prince's tutor has returned to Handan. I wonder how Qi'er has recently?" Thinking of Prince Qi's recent situation, Zhao Wangdan asked, and his drunken mind was a little confused.

"The prince traveled with Mr. Xun for one month and his knowledge increased a lot." Li Yu couldn't help but frowned at the changes in King Dan of Zhao.

Although Li Yu had almost never attended court, he knew everything inside and outside the court and was addicted to wine and sex. Zhao Wangdan became more and more lazy. He actually wanted to change the five-day day to ten-day day during the previous court meetings, but was directly pushed back by the ministers.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, scholars and ministers all believed that the king had ruled with mercy and ruled, so that the world could be peaceful. Even the king himself thought so. Unfortunately, reality slapped the king and his ministers hard. The consequence of the king's complete delegation of power was that the world was constantly quarrel, and the king was completely emptied and became a puppet. The Zhou royal family used iron facts to prove this seemingly beautiful but illusory idea. Therefore, after the princes became kings, they subconsciously held the power in their hands, and could even determine state affairs in one sentence, completely opening the prelude to the feudalism of the monarch.

But it is undeniable that no matter how centralized the power of the king, the ministers have great power. Because the world still depends on scholars to rule. In addition, the kings of this era have a clear understanding of themselves and will not think about any autocratic decisions. Of course, those kings who do not have a clear understanding of their own affairs, and have almost no good ending, either being destroyed by the enemy country or ending up in depression.

The establishment of power of the prime minister and the general gave the ministers the capital to confront the king. The two before and after the two took over the political affairs and military power respectively. If these two civil and military leaders had the intention of rebelling, the king might not be able to hold on. The ministers naturally hoped that the king would delegate power, but they also summarized the lessons of the Zhou royal family, and their loyalty to Zhao State could not tolerate them allowing Zhao Wangdan to indulge themselves.

The court meeting is the opportunity for the king to face the court officials directly. It is also the key to grasping the power of the court. Originally, every three-day period was changed to every five-day period, and the ministers of the State of Zhao endured it. After all, the respected ministers of Pingyuan were prime ministers. Although there was friction between the ministers, they could maintain the good operation of the State of Zhao. It didn't matter if Zhao Wangdan was once every five-day period. Just let the ministers know that Zhao Wangdan was alive, they could maintain the prestige of the king.

But it will be too long for ten days. If there is any accident, the State of Zhao may even face an unprecedented crisis. Even if the ministers believe that the Lord of Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng and Xinping, Lian Po do not have the intention to usurp the rebellion, it is difficult to guarantee that the royal power will fall, which is definitely not a good thing for the State of Zhao.

Faced with the opposition of the ministers, Zhao Wangdan had no choice but to know that the noble ministers were thinking about him and Zhao State, so they would not get angry for no reason, so they could only give up the lazy idea helplessly. But with his insistence, Zhao Wangdan still changed the five-day day to six-day day, which was one step closer to being lazy.

"Li Qing. I want Qi'er to contact the affairs of the court. Do you think it's okay?" A thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Zhao Wangdan asked casually, feeling quite moved.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be carefully considered. I dare not speak nonsense. However, the prince is still young after all, and he still needs the prince to hold the reins." When he heard Zhao Wangdan's question, Li Yu was shocked. He didn't know if Zhao Wangdan was deliberately trying. Or he really wanted Prince Qi to establish himself in the court early, so he could only reply in the most tactful words.

"It's okay. With Li Qing and the Prince's Tutor from the side, and Pingyuan Jun is in charge of the government affairs, I feel at ease. I am not very energetic recently, so I'd have already let Qi'er come into contact with political affairs." Seeing Li Yu's concerns, Zhao Wangdan added with a smile. Even if he wanted to delegate power, Zhao Wangdan could not delegate all power. He just asked Zhao Qi and the prince's officials to deal with some trivial matters. He still remembered the lessons of the Sand Dune Incident.

"I dare not agree with the words of the king." As he quickly considered the truth of Zhao Wangdan's words, Li Yu replied honestly. In Li Yu's impression, Zhao Wangdan was a king who was very talented and wanted to make a difference. How could he suddenly have the idea of ​​giving up power? Is it just because he was addicted to alcohol and sex and wanted to ignore political affairs?

"Hahaha, let's discuss this matter again." Seeing that Li Yu was so cautious, Zhao Wangdan didn't say anything else. This was also what he always admired Li Yu, and he was capable and humble. Compared with the general Li Mu who had extraordinary military talents but neglected political affairs, Li Yu, who had a good foundation in advance and retreat, could become the pillar of their Zhao State's future.

After chatting casually for a few words, Zhao Wangdan felt a little tired and went back to the palace to rest.

"Is there something wrong with the palace recently?" After saying goodbye to King Dan of Zhao, Li Yu walked towards the Mingqi Palace of Prince Qi. On the way, he met Gong Guang who was inspecting the palace and asked. Li Yu was also a little worried about King Dan's reaction. It was indeed difficult for ordinary people to guess the king's heart.

"There is nothing unusual. The king still stays in Tianli Palace and rarely comes out. The queen and the princess are not disturbed. But yesterday the palace guard wanted his subordinates to change defense with Zhang Wei, but he was pushed back by his subordinates." With Li Yu behind him, Gong Guang became strong in the palace guards. He knew that as long as he faithfully fulfilled the general's orders, all problems would no longer be a problem.

"Yes, some people don't need to pay attention to it."

Li Yu also heard about yesterday. Gong Wei Lecheng, who was in charge of the power of the Gong Guard Army, wanted to adjust the defenses of Gong Guang and Zhang Wei, but was directly pushed back by Gong Guang. Le Cheng also got angry because of this. However, Le Cheng did not cause the matter to Zhao Wangdan. One reason was to damage his prestige in the Gong Guard Army, and it would also make Zhao Wangdan think that it was difficult for him to command his subordinates. On the other hand, Li Yu stood behind Gong Guang. Although he turned to Zhao Mu, Le Cheng would not offend Li Yu uncontrollably, which would be a way out.

"The talent of the Gongwei is not low." After serving in the Gongwei Army for half a year, Gong Guang also understood Le Cheng's ability and inevitably asked him in front of the general. It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Even the Zhao State, which has many famous generals, has a very urgent need for military generals.

"So what if you have a good talent? If you are obsessed with utilitarianism, no matter how good the general is, he will move into the abyss." It turns out that Li Yu had a good impression of Le Cheng. After all, in the Battle of Handan, the Black-clothed Palace Guard showed strong combat power. At that time, the palace guard Pang Xian was almost indifferent. The person in charge of training the palace guard was Le Cheng, who was the Black-clothed Commander at that time, which shows that he was indeed a rare general.

Unfortunately, when Li Yu was inspecting Le Cheng, the old general could not stand his temper and urgently turned to the young man in exchange for his position. Such a utilitarian person, no matter how talented he is, his actions are limited. The most important thing is that Li Yu was not without any grudges about the loss of the position of the Palace Guard, which almost lost his control over the palace.

The establishment of the martial arts lecture hall gave Li Yu enough confidence, and the future generals of Zhao State will emerge one after another. What he needed even more was a real coach, which also allowed him to meet one of his subordinates, Wang Liao. Unfortunately, he remembered that the coaches who left their names in later generations were all powerful and powerful countries, and they could not win over them at all. Li Yu could only slowly discover them among such ordinary scholars.

"I'm talking too much." Seeing that Li Yu had already made a decision, Gong Guang didn't say anything else, and some things were not something he should have considered.

"It's okay."

After saying a few more words, Mingqi Palace was right in front of him. Li Yu walked straight in, and Gong Guang also continued to patrol the palace.
