Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 451

Sure enough, after some kneading and slapping by the old eunuch, Qin Wangji once again calmed down.

Seeing Qin Wangji's painful expression, Zhao Zhu hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Since father just woke up, why don't you rest for a few days, and then my son will come to see you again."

Unexpectedly, Qin Wangji rejected Zhao Zhu's proposal, and instead said slowly, "How long has the widow been in a coma?"

Zhao Zhu didn't dare to be negligent, and replied: "Father has been in a coma for nearly a month."

"One month?" Qin Wangji was stunned for a moment, his face was quite surprised, obviously he didn't think of this answer.

After a while, Qin Wangji showed a weak smile: "It seems that the widow is still alive after being in a coma for such a long time, it seems that it is really a fluke."

Zhao Zhu hurriedly said: "Father is too one-minded to fool you, how could he abandon his sons and ministers and the people of Daqin so easily and leave?"

Qin Wangji shook his head slightly, took a few deep breaths slowly, and then said to Zhao Zhu, "What happened these days when I was in a coma?"

Chapter 445 The Death of King Qin Ji (Fourth Change)

Facing Qin Wangji's question, Zhao Zhu hesitated to speak.

Zhao Zhu actually did two things these days.

The first thing is to cede Hangu Pass and the land east of Hangu Pass to seek peace with Zhao Guo.

The second thing is to mobilize all the forces in Qin State to prepare for the invasion of Chu people.

Any of these two incidents is outright bad news for Qin.

Can these bad news really be told in front of Qin Wangji who just woke up?

Zhao Zhu did not forget that Qin Wangji vomited blood and fainted on the spot after hearing the news of Wang Lu's defeat.

If Zhao Zhu said something about ceding land to seek peace now, and the news that the enemy army took advantage of the situation, would it cause another major stimulus to Qin Wangji?

So Zhao Zhu really didn't dare to say it.

What kind of person Qin Wangji is, seeing Zhao Zhu's expression of wanting to say something but not daring to say it, he immediately understood most of it.

"Don't worry, just tell the truth. The widow asked you, did Lian Po lead the army to surround Xianyang?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhu shook his head hastily, and said to Qin Wangji, "Your Majesty, in fact, the Zhao army had retreated a few days ago."

"Retreat?" Qin Wangji's eyes showed surprise.

But soon, the King of Qin seemed to think of something again, and sighed softly.

"Which piece of land was ceded this time?"

Zhao Zhu was also a little sad in his heart, and replied softly: "Weihan Passage Line."

After Zhao Zhu said these words, Qin Wangji didn't have much anger on his face, but showed an expression of "as expected": "Will Hangu Pass be ceded?"

Zhao Zhu lowered his head: "Now Hangu Pass also belongs to Zhao State."

Qin Wangji frowned, and a trace of anger flashed across his face: "Why?"

Zhao Zhu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the situation was urgent at that time, and Wang Yan's troops might be wiped out by Lian Po at any time, and the Chu people took advantage of the fire to attack Nanyang County."

Qin Wangji interrupted Zhao Zhu: "Chu people attack Nanyang County?"

Zhao Zhu nodded slightly.

Perhaps it was because he was in a bad mood, so Zhao Zhu didn't realize that his father and king seemed to be becoming more and more fluent when speaking, and his whole face gradually turned red, as if he had completely returned to his body. peak state.

Generally speaking, this phenomenon is called backlighting.

Qin Wangji glanced at Zhao Zhu who had completely lowered his head, his face was not as furious as Zhao Zhu imagined, and he was very calm even when he spoke: "So that's the case. Then the cession of Hanguguan is the cession." Anyway, after Hetu County is recovered in the future, this Weihan channel will naturally return to Daqin again."

After a pause, Qin Wangji continued: "Since the Chu people took advantage of the fire to loot, then you must have responded accordingly. Who is the general?"

Zhao Zhu nodded, and said, "My son has ordered Wang Yan to lead the army to Nanyang County to fight with the Chu people."

Qin Wangji once again interrupted Zhao Zhu's words: "Wang Yan has been defeated in many battles, and he is unusable. How can he be the general of the Great Qin?"

Zhao Zhu raised his head and looked at his father in surprise.

Although Zhao Zhu also knew that Wang Lu's level was actually very limited, but the problem was that there was only one Wang Lu that Qin could use right now.

Sima Jin and other king tombs are either lacking in qualifications or lacking in brains. In short, the tallest among the dwarfs, no matter what Wang Lu said, he must have defeated Chu, right?

Qin Wangji obviously saw Zhao Zhu's thoughts, and said to Zhao Zhu in a deep voice: "The widow's order is to use Lord Wu'an Bai Qi as the main general, and Wei Liao as the deputy general to assist Bai Qi to fight against the Chu army."

"Baiqi?" Zhao Zhu's body shook violently.

Qin Wangji, actually wants to use Bai Qi again?

As an adult and the future King of Qin, Zhao Zhu knew very well why King Ji of Qin wanted to suppress Lord Wu'an Bai Qi.

In fact, even if Qin Wangji didn't suppress Bai Qi, after Zhao Zhu succeeded to the throne, he would definitely find a way to take Bai Qi down.

But at this moment, Qin Wangji once again proposed to use Bai Qi?

Could it be that

Zhao Zhu suddenly felt a little complicated.

Qin Wangji glanced at Zhao Zhu, who had a complex and unspeakable expression, and a look of disappointment appeared on his old face.

As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father, Qin Wangji actually knew very well in his heart that Zhao Zhu's son was much worse than himself, and at best he was a conservative king.

But the current situation facing Qin State is so dangerous, can a conservative king like Zhao Zhu really be able to deal with Zhao State's aggressive offensive?

Qin Wangji sighed secretly in his heart: "Zhuer, I can only hope that the grandson of the widow can become a generation of wise kings and save Great Qin from the fire and water."

No matter how you put it, Zhao Zhu is the eldest son of Qin Wangji after all, and he is also the next generation of the king of Qin, so although Qin Wangji feels helpless, he can only hold back his temper and give Zhao Zhu patient guidance. Fan.

"Zhu'er, in the past, I, Da Qin Hu, looked down on the world, and I was an out-and-out overlord of the princes. At that time, internal strife hurt Da Qin more than foreign troubles, and this is why the widow suppressed Bai Qi. But now Zhao Guo has become a big , if Daqin is a little careless, there will be fear of subjugation. At this moment, Daqin's external troubles are far better than internal strife, and it is no longer an opportunity to suppress Baiqi, but Baiqi should be let out of the cage and used by Daqin, do you understand?"

After listening to Qin Wangji's words, Zhao Zhu nodded vigorously, and said, "I know it. So the king's intention is to hope that my minister will train Wei Liao in the future, so as to check and balance him in vain?"

Hearing this, Qin Wangji showed a gratified expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Zhu'er is really smart. In my opinion, Wei Liao has already shown his edge at a young age, and he will definitely become a great weapon in the future. If Zhu'er can win Wei Liao , Daqin will have no worries!"

Zhao Zhu was not surprised when he heard this, because Qin Wangji seldom praised a person like that.

But the problem is, isn't Qin Wangji's praise of Wei Liao just because of Wei Liao's performance in the court meeting last time, is it a bit too much?

For Qin Wangji's words, Zhao Zhu somewhat disapproved.

At this moment, Qin Wangji suddenly coughed violently again.
