Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lobbying

When he came out of Li Mu's mansion, it was almost dusk.

Before Gao Yuan left, Li Yinghong, a young woman, fell into a deep sleep under Gao Yuan's careful caresses. And the heart of the plateau is also full of warmth and sweetness. It's been less than half a year since I came here, but too many things have happened, and I already have two beautiful girls. also let himself have a lot of involvement, because he will not be alone in the future.

While walking, he thought, Gao Yuan also returned to his own mansion, only to see that the courtyard was full of vehicles, although Gao Yuan had announced that those who wanted to leave could leave on their own, but the people who really left, only four, the rest of the people were willing to stay, and follow the plateau together.

Of course, not all of the people who stayed behind were willing to follow the plateau together, and a considerable number of them really had nowhere to go. Because in this era, the vast majority of family members are the whole family in the master's home service, and it is a lifelong service, once left the master, no relatives and no reason, it is basically difficult to survive, and most people also have the psychology of conformity, see that many people are willing to follow the plateau together, and follow to stay, as for what happens in the future, then it can only be left to fate.

Walking through the courtyard, Geng Zhong greeted him and said, "My lord, a guest is here, and I have been waiting for you for more than an hour." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned, in the past few days, there are really a lot of his own guests, yesterday was Shen Shen, so who will it be today? Suddenly I thought that when I saw Gongsun Long and Zhong Lifu lobbying Li Mu in Li Mu's mansion and supporting Zhao Jia as the king of Zhao, would he also send someone to lobby him, so he also asked, "Who is here?" ”

Geng Zhong said: "It's Mr. Chun Yubo's father and daughter." ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "It's them." ”

Since they met in Zhao Jiafu, Chun Yubo's father and daughter lived in Handan City, and in the past two months, they have participated in more than ten meetings in a row, exchanging academics with scholars in Handan, and Chun Yu's father and daughter have also fully demonstrated their miscellaneous erudite characteristics, whether it is with the scholars of that school can communicate very smoothly, and their opinions are also very clever, which has also caused a lot of sensation in Handan City.

Of course, Gao Yuan was invited to several of the parties, but during this time, Gao Yuan had been busy training soldiers, and all the invitations were pushed down, so he did not meet the father and daughter again. Why would they come to visit him at this time, could it be that he was also a lobbyist for Zhao Jia, but Gao Yuan thought about it, this possibility is not great. Because if Zhao Jia can move these two people, it should be for them to persuade Li Mu, not himself.

However, thinking of Chun Yu Zhongxiu's peerless appearance, although he had just overthrown Li Yinghong, Gao Yuan still couldn't help but feel a little moved, no matter what the intention of their father and daughter was, but it was good to be able to see this peerless beauty again.

Therefore, Takahara immediately changed his clothes and hurried to the lobby. Sure enough, Chun Yu's father and daughter were sitting in the lobby, Chun Yu Bo was crowned with Bo E, and his spirit was flying, and Chun Yu Zhongxiu was still quiet and elegant, like a fairy.

Seeing that the plateau had returned, Chun Yubo and Chun Yu Zhongxiu's father and daughter also got up immediately. Gao Yuan preemptively said: "It's really my fault to let Mr. Chunyu and Miss Chunyu wait for a long time." ”

Chun Yubo also returned the salute and said with a smile: "There, there and there, the adults are busy with affairs, how can it be the fault of the adults, but our father and daughter came in a hurry, and we did not inform the adults in advance, so it is the fault of our father and daughter, please forgive the adults." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "How dare you, Mr. Chunyu and Miss Chunyu are distinguished guests who I can't even invite, and the two of you can come to the Humble House really make the Humble House shine." ”

The two sides were polite for a while, and then they sat down again, and the family also served wine, Gao Yuan asked: "The current situation, I don't need to say, Mr. Chun Yu and Miss Chun Yu should also know, I don't know what the two of them came to me at this time, what is the so-called matter." ”

Chun Yubo nodded and said, "If the guess is correct, the lord wants to leave Handan with Wu Anjun and retreat to Daijun to divide the autonomy." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, since Chun Yubo saw it, there was no need to hide him, anyway, he would leave tomorrow, and said: "Yes, we will leave tomorrow, if Mr. Chun Yu and Miss Chun Yu come a day late, I am afraid that I will miss the two of them." ”

Chun Yubo nodded and said: "This time, Wu Anjun had the opportunity to enter the palace, and on the occasion of killing Guo Kai, he set aside King Zhao and monopolized the power of the court, but Wu Anjun would rather leave Handan than do anything against his courtiers, it seems that Wu Anjun's loyalty to Zhao is indeed true." ”

Of course, Gao Yuan knew that with Chun Yubo's talent, it must be seen that Li Mu staying in Handan, whether it was to override Zhao Wangqian or help Zhao Jia to ascend to the throne, was actually not the best choice, and retreating to Daijun was the most ideal result, but Gao Yuan didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and said: "At that time, Mr. Chun Yu and Miss Chun Yu are also welcome to Dai County as guests, and Wu Anjun and I will inevitably welcome the two of them." ”

At this time, Chun Yubo also put away his smile and said: "The last time I said in Gongzi Jiafu that the Qin army would attack Zhao State within three or five years, in fact, I didn't say it right, in my opinion, just after the New Year, the Qin army will attack the Zhao army in a big way, and this time the troops dispatched by Qin State will be the strongest force after the Battle of Changping, and it is by no means comparable to the Battle of Fei and the Battle of Fanwu." And the leader of the army will be the famous general of the Qin State, Wang Jian, this person is proficient in the art of war, and the use of soldiers has always been stable. Although Wu Anjun has been in battle for a long time and uses soldiers like a god, he cannot underestimate the enemy. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, Chun Yubo deliberately emphasized that Wang Jian's use of troops to build steadily, in fact, it was a point, because Li Mu's use of soldiers has always been known for being elusive and resourceful. And the best way to deal with Li Mu's style of using troops is to use troops like Wang Jian steadily, step by step, steadily, and with the help of Qin's huge national strength, Li Mu's troops are consumed little by little.

Chun Yu Zhongxiu also said: "If the Zhao State can unite now, work together from top to bottom, with the ability of Wu Anjun to use troops, with the strength of the Zhao army, and then occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, it is not impossible to fight with the Qin State, but now the King of Zhao is mediocre, trusts and favors traitorous ministers, and simply forced Wu Anjun away, so the power is scattered, so even if Wu Anjun is Jiang Shang resurrected and Sun Wu is reborn, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn the tide." ”

Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, and he was also thinking quickly in his heart, what did the father and daughter mean by saying these words to themselves, they tried their best to exaggerate the deficient side of Zhao Guo, it should be to pave the way for their purpose, but it didn't sound like they were lobbyists for Zhao Jia, so what was the purpose of them coming to see themselves, so he said: "What the two of them said is indeed reasonable, so according to the two of them, what should Wu Anjun do?" ”

Chun Yubo smiled and said, "Why don't you ask, what should adults do themselves?" ”

Gao Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Is there a difference?" "I thought to myself, what does this mean, is it so difficult that I want to separate myself from Li Mu?

Chun Yubo smiled: "Of course there is a difference, because our father and daughter are here for adults this time, not for Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan was also a little puzzled, and said, "Come for me?" ”

Chun Yu Zhong Xiu smiled and said: "Yes, before our father and daughter came to Zhao State, when they left Qin State, King Qin once entrusted me and my father, if this trip to Zhao State can meet the adult, bring a word to the adult for him, if the adult is willing to defect to the Qin State, the King of Qin will welcome the adult into the country with the gift of a guest." ”

The courtesy of guests is the highest etiquette for a monarch to treat his ministers in this era, and it means that the monarch regards his ministers as his guests, not his subordinates.

Originally, the guest ceremony was originally used to receive the first monarch of the Song Kingdom, Song Weixiao. Song Weizi was originally a relict of the Yin Dynasty and the brother of the King of Zhou, because the King of Zhou had no way, Weizi fled to the Zhou Dynasty and declared himself a vassal to King Wu of Zhou. After King Wu conquered, when he divided the princes, Feng Weizi was a first-class duke, fiefdom the Song State, governed the remnants of the Yin Dynasty, and conformed to the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, called Song Weixiao. And Jiang Taigong, who assisted King Wu of Zhou, the fief Qi State, Zhou Gong, who assisted King Cheng to govern the country, and the fief Lu State, were only named second-class marquises. Therefore, Song Weixiao's courtesy is quite high.

After Weizi took the country, he was diligent in government affairs and appeased the remnants of the Yin Dynasty in many ways, and finally made the Yin people gradually eliminate their resentment against the Zhou Dynasty and obey the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty highly respected Song Weixiao, calling it "a guest in the royal family, with the national salty body, eternal and endless" to see Weixiao as a guest of the Zhou room, rather than a subordinate, every time the Weixiao Dynasty saw Zhou Tianzi, the royal family had to send a soldier out of the city to clear the road, called "the gift of the guest".

Later, the guest gift was also used to reward the heroes who had made great contributions to the Zhou Chamber. In the hundreds of years of history of the Zhou Dynasty, there were less than ten people who had enjoyed the gift of guests. After entering the Warring States Period, the etiquette collapsed, and all the candidates also imitated the Zhou Chamber, and also paid tribute to their meritorious ministers, expressing their courtesy to their subordinates. Of course, those who can get the courtesy of the guests are all famous ministers who have made great contributions to various countries, or celebrities recognized by the world. Therefore, the king of Qin wanted to greet the plateau with the gift of guests, and also expressed how much he valued the plateau.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said: "Even if I have a small name now, it is not worthy of Qin Wangzheng's attention, if it is for Wu Anjun, it will be about the same." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu smiled faintly and said: "What King Qin thinks, it's not for our father and daughter to know, but King Qin's original words are for adults, we just bring the original words, maybe it's because the adults are descending the stars into the world, of course, if Wu Anjun is also willing to defect to the Qin State, according to Zhong Xiu's thoughts, King Qin will not succumb to Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan sighed for a while, and said, "So are the two of you here to be lobbyists on behalf of King Qin this time?" ”

Chun Yubo's eyes were blazing, he looked at the plateau, and said: "My lord, now the world is strife, there is no day without war, there is no time without soldiers, there is no day without suffering in the world, and there is no day when the people do not serve. What do adults think? ”
