Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wang Jigao sat on the throne, stared at several important ministers of the Qin State in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Zhao State is rampant, and it actually colludes with the Qi State to attack the Yan State together, how do you think the widow should deal with it?" ”

Although Yan did not participate in the last battle of Hedong County because of King Yan's serious illness, the current Yan State is still an ally of Qin, and the alliance between the two sides has not been broken.

Not only that, but now after two successive defeats at the hands of Zhao State, the whole Qin State has regarded Zhao State as a great enemy of life and death, and they have great hatred for Zhao State.

Under such circumstances, what Zhao wanted to do, of course, was what Qin had to destroy.

According to the latest information, Zhao Guo has officially joined the battlefield and began to join forces with Qi State to prepare to attack Yan State.

Otherwise, with Qi Wangjian's character, it would be impossible for him to suddenly run to support Empress Yan and the son Ke who was only two or three years old.

Everyone knows that Queen Yan was born to Zhao Dan's mother!

It is worth mentioning that compared with the past, there is one less familiar figure in this hall today, but there is one more unfamiliar figure.

Needless to say, this familiar person, needless to say, is of course Fan Sui, the former prime minister of the Qin State.

Now Fan Sui has resigned from the position of Xiangbang and returned to the fiefdom Lantian.

And the extra stranger is said to have been recommended by Fan Sui before leaving, and not long ago he was just a lobbyist in Yan Kingdom.

Compared with before, today's Cai Ze can be said to be one heaven and one earth.

Since Fan Sui's resignation, there are different opinions about Fan Sui's successor, but most people think that Yangquan Jun Rong is the biggest popular candidate.

The reason why I think it is Mi Rong is actually very simple.

This Yangquan Jun is not only the brother-in-law of Zhao Zhu, the crown prince An Guojun, but also assisted An Guojun in supervising the country when Qin Wangji went to Luoyi to meet Zhao Wangdan not long ago.

With a background, ability, and trust, such a person is simply the most perfect template for Xiangbang.

However, Qin Wangji's final choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

After driving away Fan Sui, Qin Wangji actually listened to Fan Sui's final recommendation, and after summoning Cai Ze once, he named Cai Ze as Gangchengjun and served as the minister of Qin.

The meaning of Shou Xiang is to guard Xiang Bang, that is, the meaning of temporary Xiang Bang.

But in view of the fact that Cai Ze's predecessor Fan Sui also served as a minister for a short time and then turned positive, coupled with the fact that he was already named Gangchengjun by Qin Wangji after just one meeting, as long as Cai Ze didn't make a mistake, it must be a matter of time before he became a regular.

At this moment, Cai Ze was wearing a black suit and a crown, sitting on the left side of Qin Wangji, and his waist was straight, looking quite energetic.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, but Cai Ze is dressed up, but he also has a bit of official authority, which dilutes the discomfort brought by that ugly face to others a lot.

For Cai Ze, although he had successfully convinced Qin Wangji of his ability through a meeting, this meeting was the first time that Cai Ze really participated in the discussion of the national policy by the core leadership of Qin.

Therefore, Cai Ze also very much wants to use this meeting to make a good start and show his ability.

After Qin Wangji asked a question, Cai Ze looked left and right, and found that none of the ministers of Qin State spoke, so he felt that it was time for him to behave.

So Cai Ze spoke: "King, the minister has his own music." ”

As soon as Cai Ze opened his mouth, several other important ministers of the Qin State in the main hall all cast their eyes over.

There is curiosity in this gaze, but also a bit of disdain, jealousy and other quite complex emotions.

Qin Wangji glanced at Cai Ze calmly, and said, "Gang Chengjun is coming." ”

Cai Ze cleared his throat and said: "King, after experiencing the two defeats of Changping and Hedong, in Cai Ze's opinion, the current Zhao State has become the out-and-out number one power in the world!" ”

As soon as Cai Ze said this, the faces of the other Qin monarchs and ministers, including Qin Wangji, couldn't help but be a little ugly.

Although everyone present knew that Cai Ze was telling the truth, sometimes, telling the truth was actually a very hurtful thing.

It is precisely because of this that many eyes looking at Cai Ze began to bring a lot of dissatisfaction.

Cai Ze didn't care about the dissatisfaction in these eyes, after all, Cai Ze has been subjected to more discrimination and cynicism because of his appearance, and it is really not bad for these eyes.

Ugly, especially an ugly man, this is really a very sad thing in ancient society.

Cai Ze said to Qin Wangji with self-care: "Now that Zhao has the two counties of Dang and Hedong, it is not only strong, but also extremely vast in terms of territory, which is still superior to that of the Jin State back then. Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, if you want to defeat the Zhao State, it is difficult to rely on the strength of the Qin State alone, and you must unite other countries to do it. ”

Qin Wangji nodded slightly after listening to Cai Ze's words, obviously feeling that Cai Ze's words were still more reasonable.

Qin Wangji did not speak, but motioned to Cai Ze with his eyes to continue.

Cai Ze continued to speak: "First of all, the king must declare the world, express his support for the current Yan King, and condemn the evil deeds of Qi and Zhao joining forces to invade Yan Kingdom!" ”

"Condemnation?" Qin Wangji thought for a moment and asked, "So Gang Chengjun means not to send troops?" ”

"Sending troops?" Cai Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "The king, it's not that the minister wants to hurt his own morale, but the minister wants to ask the king, if he sends troops now, can the king be sure to defeat the Zhao State?" ”

Qin Wangji thought about it, and then closed his mouth very simply, looking like he didn't want to continue saying a word.

Cai Ze continued: "Secondly, Wei is the sworn enemy of Qi and the common neighbor of Zhao and Qi. Now that Zhao Qi has joined forces to attack Yan State, Wei Wangyu must have some doubts in his heart, fearing that one day Zhao State will join forces with Qi State to attack Wei State. Therefore, if the king was able to send a powerful lobbyist to Daliang, it was very likely that he would persuade Wei Wangyu to let Wei and Daqin fight against Zhao. ”

As soon as he mentioned the Wei State, Qin Wangji's face showed a very unhappy expression, and he said in a muffled voice: "The widow also sent envoys to Daliang many times during the Battle of Hedong, but all of them were rejected by the Wei Wangyu!" Moreover, Wei Wuji took the opportunity to seize the widow Tao County, and the widow has not yet settled accounts with Wei State! ”

Cai Ze said with a smile: "Great King, the Wei State at that time was because Zhao Wang Dan promised Anyi to Wei Wangyu, and Wei Wuji plotted to seize Tao County, so Wei Wangyu refused to join forces with the king so decisively." ”

"But that's what happens. Today's Zhao State is already dominating the world, Wei State is a neighbor of Zhao State, and the capital city is so close to Handan, is Wei Wangyu really not wary of Zhao State at all in his heart? Chan thought it was unlikely. ”

"In addition, the minister once heard of a thing. After losing to Qi in the Battle of Lanling in Chu and besieged by Kuang Liang in Pengcheng, Zhao Wangdan at that time sent someone to see Wei Wuji and asked Wei Wuji to stop besieging Taoyi and go south to rescue Pengcheng. But Wei Wuji took advantage of this matter to snatch Taoyi with a false shot, no matter how generous Zhao Wangdan was, he must be dissatisfied with this. ”

"Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, although the two countries of Zhao and Wei still nominally retain the banner of the Three Jin Alliances at this moment, they are actually detached from morality, and if the king sends lobbyists to Daliang City this time, it is very likely that he will succeed!"

Cai Ze's words were said freely, which seemed very reasonable, so that the other ministers of the Qin State present couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Qin Wangji thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Since this is the case, then send an envoy to Daliang City!" ”

After making this decision, Qin Wangji said again: "But if you only rely on the strength of Qin and Wei, I'm afraid it is still not enough to be the enemy of Zhao, I don't know if Gang Chengjun has a solution to this?" ”
