Chapter 565 565.The internal struggle of the Qin State
Of course, Wei Ran understood what King Qin Zhao said, but although he and King Qin Zhao had a relationship between an uncle and a nephew, they were even more political enemies.
can suppress King Qin Zhao in certain things, Wei Ran will never give up, for example, this time King Qin Zhao strongly recommended Li Xin, Li Xin's army was defeated and surrendered, this matter can make Wei Ran give King Qin Zhao a hard blow.
Wei Ran looked at King Qin Zhao and said, "How do you know what the result will be if you don't give it a try?" You killed Xiang Yan so rashly, this is one less chance for me to negotiate! ”
King Qin Zhao wanted to take back his royal order at this time, but it was too late, the royal order had already been issued, how could he have the intention of taking it back? Otherwise, where is the face of his king?
King Qin Zhao failed in many battles with Wei Ran, and all he wants to protect now is just a matter of face, if he can't even keep the most basic face, what is the significance of this position of King Qin at the moment?
It's better to just let Wei Ran be the one directly.
And Wei Ran said such righteous words, of course, it was not really to win a chance for Qin to negotiate, because he also knew that Wu Qi was in power, and this person's political mind was very sober, politics was politics, and sentiment was affection.
He would not lose the interests of the Chu State for the sake of Xiang Yan alone, and as for the Xiang family's intercession, it was obvious that he could not control Wu Qi.
There is no difference between the Xiang family and the Xiang family in Wu Qi's eyes, they all play the role of a dog.
Therefore, Wei Ran knew that it was extremely unrealistic to use Xiang Yan to negotiate with Chu State and compress the other party's asking price, but it would also make people think that you Qin State was a villain, and he couldn't fight the battle, so he threatened the other party with an old man.
As for Wei Ran knowing this, why did he still take it out and talk about it, in fact, it was to force King Qin Zhao to give up his king's face in front of him.
When King Qin Zhao's face was given up, it would be easier to fight against King Qin Zhao in the future.
However, King Qin Zhao wants to protect the face of the king this time, he would rather bear a lot of infamy on his shoulders, and he also has to keep the face of this king.
If he knew that Wei Ran stood up at this time, King Qin Zhao might not rush to kill Xiang Yan, which also showed that King Qin Zhao was young after all, and he didn't think about many things comprehensively.
"I'm desperate, uncle, don't talk about it, I will hand over the matter of this negotiation to you, you go to negotiate with Chu State to pull down the price!" King Qin Zhao looked at Wei Ran and said.
Wei Ran was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect that King Qin Zhao would be a fool of him at this time, if he failed to negotiate and compensate Chu State according to the original price, he would become a sinner of Qin State and be punished by Qin.
The people of Qin don't care how hard you try, they only care that you signed a treaty that humiliates the country, you are a traitor, and I am afraid that there will be many young and vigorous Qin people who will besiege his house.
And if the negotiation is successful and the price is lowered, he will also be criticized, because no matter how he signs, he is signing a treaty that humiliates the country, and this will not change.
Who let the Qin state defeat the battle? The defeat of King Qin Zhao and Li Xin will make him, a person who is not implicated, also have to bear some responsibility.
Of course, he made up for a certain loss for the Qin State, and the ministers of the court, King Qin Zhao would not be grateful to him, but he would feel that this was what you Qin Xiangguo should do.
And the loss that is made up for the Qin State will become a kind of compensation for the defeat of the Qin Zhao State, because it was the King Qin Zhao who was appointed to negotiate with the Chu State, and it was because of the insight of the Qin Zhao King that he sent you to negotiate and make up for the loss of the Qin State.
It can be said that King Qin Zhao's move was a trick for Wei Ran, but Wei Ran couldn't refuse.
Who made him the prime minister of Qin? At such an important moment in the Qin State, don't you come out of the Xiangguo?
And in the Qin State, it is not Wei Ran who can negotiate well, Wei Ran is the most ordinary one among them, but King Qin Zhao still let Wei Ran go, in order to suppress Wei Ran.
Otherwise, this failure, Wei Ran will use the topic to play, which can cause him a lot of trouble, which he can't see under the rule of King Qin Zhao.
"Uncle, just work hard for you, go to Chu State, negotiate with Chu State, as long as you can make up for the losses for Qin State, I, Qin State, will definitely not treat my uncle badly, and I will definitely reward my uncle heavily, beauty, gold and silver, silk and satin, everything!" King Qin Zhao looked at Wei Ran and said.
Wei Ran was silent for a while, sighed, this nephew of his was no longer the one who began to be at his disposal, and then hugged his fists and said: "Minister, leader, as the prime minister of the Qin State, I am responsible for the Qin State, this is my duty, as for the remuneration or something, I Wei Ran doesn't value it very much!" ”
"If Great Qin is a person like my uncle who does his duty for Great Qin, and a person who thinks about the Qin State, why should my Qin State not be strong? Why can't you go east? It is not a problem to unify the Central Plains and replace the Zhou! King Qin Zhao looked at Wei Ran and said lightly.
Wei Ran looked at King Qin Zhao calmly, Wei Ran still admired King Qin Zhao's ambitions very much, he was young, but he had such great ambitions, why wouldn't the Qin State be strong in the future?
Although Wei Ran and King Qin Zhao are competing for power, both sides are Qin people, and they are doing their best for the Qin State, Wei Ran is old after all, and King Qin Zhao is young, although Wei Ran has been grasping power, but he knows that one day he will have to let go of power, after all, he will get older and older.
And when he can't manage things, this power will still return to the hands of King Qin Zhao, and then King Qin Zhao will be the lord of a country in Qin.
Of course, now that he is in the prime of life, he feels that his ability is still very strong, and there are still many things to do, under his leadership, the Qin State will go to a stronger road, so he is not willing to let go of power at this time, and wants to hold on to the power tightly and become the only powerful minister of the Qin State.
Of course, during this period, he would also teach King Qin Zhao how to become a qualified monarch.
The relationship between Wei Ran and King Qin Zhao can be said to be very complicated, on the surface they are the relationship between their uncle and nephew, and at the same time they are also the relationship between the king and the minister, but internally they are still political enemies, fighting each other.
To a certain extent, Wei Ran is still the teacher of King Qin Zhao, after all, King Qin Zhao is very young and is not a traditional heir, he can instantly stand out among many heirs after the death of Qin Mugong and become the King of Qin, which has the shadow of Wei Ran.
And because he is not the heir of the tradition, he has not been educated by the monarch, and now he can be independent in many things and has his own opinions, this is not that he is particularly talented in these things, even if he has talent, someone has to teach him, and he has no one to teach before, and the person who taught him after this is his uncle Wei Ran.
Wei Ran also knew that the future Qin State was going to be in the hands of King Qin Zhao, so he would teach King Qin Zhao many things.
