What Hu Yu said to Zhao Qian was indeed of great significance. It may directly affect the future direction of Zhao State and the ownership of the throne of King Zhao. This made Zhao Qian unable to stop paying attention to the sister in front of him who married far away to Qin State.
"Haha, how come you can't find anyone to negotiate?" Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Didn't you find me and I stand in front of you?"
Hu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I'm not sure whether talking to you will be useful."
"I am the only prince in the Zhao Kingdom today. It will be helpful to find me. Do you still want to find..." Zhao Qian was about to say the word "Zhao Jia", but he swallowed it back.
Who stipulates that Qin cannot go to Zhao Jia?
If someone didn't mean it originally, but you reminded them instead, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Hu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's talk. I've finished what I meant just now. Tell me what you think."
Zhao Qian said with a serious face: "My idea is that borrowing the road is not feasible, and if Zhao Jun wants to recover the lost city, it is not that Zhao Jun does not have the ability."
Li Mu had already led his troops to kill him. This was Zhao Qian's confidence.
"Perhaps my father will also make such a choice." Hu Yu said, "But I don't think everyone thinks so, even if you are right."
Everyone can see clearly that Zhao Jia is now targeting Zhao Qian everywhere, and he is still concerned about the position of the prince. Even if he can't become the prince, who says he won't use other means to fight for the throne?
The prince of a certain country used the power of another country to fight for the throne. This happened more than once or twice in history.
But now once Zhao Qian rejects Qin's request, it is very likely that King Qin will fall to Zhao Jia's side. Then it is really hard to say who will win.
Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes, looked at Hu Yu and asked, "Are you on the side of our Zhao country, or are you on the side of Qin?"
Hu Yu pouted and said: "Of course I consider the safety of Zhao State and speak from the perspective of Zhao State. If the war continues, the people will suffer. What's more, even if General Li Mu temporarily repels the Qin army, then After Qin takes care of the Xiongnu, will he turn against us?"
"After the Battle of Changping, our strength has not been fully restored. When the soldiers heard the word 'Qin Army', they instinctively felt fear. If Qin attacked with all its strength at this time, how long do you think we can hold on? "
"And what about me? Why was my father married to the distant Qin Kingdom? Have you considered this?"
"If not, then you really are not worthy of the important task of being a king!"
Hu Yu's words had no emotion or personal bias. They were purely from the perspective of state affairs.
How could Zhao Qian not understand these principles? As a prince, how could he not consider them? Even if he did not consider them, many guests around him would have considered them for him.
Looking at Hu Yu who married Qin due to political marriage, he couldn't argue for a moment.
If their father hadn't wanted to use this relationship to curry favor with Qin, Hu Yu wouldn't have married so far away.
When Cheng Jiao rebelled, Zhao Guo spread rumors about Ying Zheng's life experience and planned to attack Qin. Ying Zheng still keeps accounts.
Hu Yu calmed down and continued: "The King of Qin said that the conditions for the reconciliation of the Qin and Zhao families are very simple, that is, the Zhao State sends a large army to encircle the Xiongnu in the rear, so that the Qin Army can take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Thus giving the Huns the most fatal blow."
"In this case, the State of Zhao is using its troops against a common enemy, rather than harming each other with Qin. Then the State of Qin can not only return the cities it has captured, but also help Zhao State stabilize the government, and at the same time deter other countries, and no longer Intervene in.”
Zhao Qian frowned: "Is this true?"
If it's as Hu Yu said, this deal is a great deal.
Simply accomplishing multiple things with one stone.
First of all, if the same force is used to fight the Qin army and fight the Xiongnu, the ratio of casualties is simply different.
If we just intercept the Huns in the rear, it will be much easier than attacking them. Even if they cannot defeat them, they can retreat quickly.
But if he chooses to compete with the Qin army for the city, even Li Mu is not completely sure.
Furthermore, as long as he turns his attention to his mortal enemy, the Huns, he can get back the lost city without any effort. Not only will he not have to waste national power, it will also be a great achievement for his future succession, and Zhao Jia will have no chance.
Finally, as long as he agrees to King Qin's conditions, he can deter several other countries from helping Zhao Jia, and Zhao's throne will be more secure.
But if he doesn't agree to King Qin, it's obvious that he will find Zhao Jia to cooperate, let Zhao Jia build meritorious deeds, and help Zhao Jia rise to power.
Hu Yu curled his lips and said, "What I say doesn't count. It has to be said by King Qin."
After that, she took out a secret letter from her arms and handed it directly to Zhao Qian.
After Zhao Qian opened it, he found that it was a letter of credence written by Ying Zheng himself, with the seal of King Qin stamped underneath.
The content said in it is basically consistent with what Hu Yu said.
Zhao Qian read it twice carefully, then put away his credentials, carefully put it into his arms, and said, "This matter is of great importance. I have to discuss it with the ministers and get the approval of my father before I can give it to him." Accurate news from King Qin."
Hu Yu nodded: "Then wait until you have finished discussing and go while father is awake."
"Okay." Zhao Qian agreed, and then said, "Oh, and don't tell Zhao Jia beforehand. I will definitely give you an answer."
Hu Yu responded and then left the study.
After Hu Yu had gone far away, Zhao Qian called the chief of internal affairs over and asked him to invite Guo Kai and other confidants to come here to discuss matters.
Hu Yu returned to his original palace and reminisced with his mother, but he was always thinking about King Zhao, so he went to King Zhao's palace again.
When I came to King Zhao's bed, I seemed to hear him muttering something. It seemed that he was talking in his sleep.
Hu Yu leaned closer and listened, but he heard King Zhao repeatedly saying the word "Lian Po".
Hu Yu was surprised, and listened carefully again, but couldn't hear anything else. After a while, he couldn't even hear these two words.
Hu Yu panicked and hurriedly went to check King Zhao's breath, but accidentally touched King Zhao's lips.
King Zhao woke up leisurely.
Hu Yu quickly accompanied him and said, "Father, please forgive me, I accidentally woke you up."
King Zhao looked at Hu Yu with extremely gentle eyes: "Do you think that I have gone?"
"I don't dare, kid." Hu Yu lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake.
"Silly boy, it's too late for my father to thank you, so how can I blame you?" King Zhao said with a wry smile, "It seems that you are the only one who still cares about my father's life and death."
"How could it happen? Everyone cares about it." Hu Yumu said with tears in his eyes, "I just heard my father talking in his sleep and wanted to hear it more clearly."
When King Zhao heard this, he became interested and asked, "Is this man talking in his sleep? What did he say?"
Hu Yu said: "I didn't hear anything else. I just heard my father repeatedly saying the word 'Lian Po'."
King Zhao frowned and said, "It turns out that what just happened was really just a dream."
Hu Yu asked curiously: "The Lian Po my father mentioned was the once all-powerful General Lian Po?"
King Zhao nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Do you know why my father got sick?"
"Why?" Hu Yu asked.
"It's precisely because of Lian Po." King Zhao said slowly
He said, "After Lian Po's death, I was very upset, so I got sick of my heart, which only got worse."
Hu Yu looked at King Zhao's regretful expression and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
Just listen to King Zhao ask: "Do you want to know the whole story?"
"think."
"Haha, I wanted to keep this matter in my stomach and carry it into the coffin." King Zhao said mockingly, "There is not much time left now, so I will tell you."
Hu Yu came closer again and held her father's hand gently. This feeling seemed to be back to when she was a child.
King Zhao spoke up and said: "Lian Po is the most outstanding general since the founding of our Zhao Kingdom. Without him, it is unpredictable whether our Zhao Kingdom will still exist."
"When I was the prince, I admired General Lian Po very much, just like you did Li Mu. Later, the Battle of Changping broke out, and Lian Po fought against the powerful Qin army on his own, but your grandfather believed the slander. Before the battle, the coach was replaced by Zhao Kuo, alas!!"
Speaking of this, King Zhao seemed to have touched a painful spot in his heart.
Hu Yu said: "Well, I know that Zhao Kuo can only talk about war on paper, and he has wasted the lives of more than 400,000 soldiers."
King Zhao nodded slightly and said: "After that, everyone in the court hated the Qin Dynasty. They all suggested that the young master of the Qin Kingdom, Ying Yiren, who was serving as a hostage to us at that time, should be executed."
"But Lian Po firmly opposed this. He said that such actions were not done by a man, and that doing so would only vent his temporary anger. Instead, it would lead to more violent revenge from Qin, and Zhao would be destroyed."
"The best way is to let Ying Yiren go back and let him persuade the King of Qin to stop the army, thus giving our Zhao country a chance to breathe."
"At that time, your grandfather weighed the pros and cons, adopted Lian Po's opinion, and let Ying Yiren return to Da Qin. But because of this, Lian Po offended almost everyone in the court."
Hu Yu secretly sighed in his heart: He didn't expect that his husband was saved by Lian Po. If it weren't for Lian Po, her father-in-law Ying Yiren, mother-in-law Zhao Ji, and husband Ying Zheng would have died long ago.
King Zhao continued: "At that time, my father also wanted to be quick and quick, so his impression of Lian Po changed greatly."
"It wasn't until I succeeded to the throne that Lian Po, who had made many military exploits, was not promoted to an official position. However, Lian Po had no complaints, and I finally understood Lian Po's good intentions."
"Have you ever wondered why your father wanted to abolish Zhao Jia's crown prince and establish Zhao Qian instead?"
Hu Yu blinked and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it because...?"
Almost everyone who was looking for him knew that King Zhao changed Zhao Qian to be the crown prince because of Zhao Qian's mother-in-law.
Although he didn't say it, King Zhao certainly understood what Hu Yu meant. He shook his head slowly: "Of course not. Back then, Zhao Jia had a prince Fu named Zhao Yi, who was Zhao Kuo's cousin. He wanted to In order to get rid of Lian Po, he united all ministers to frame Lian Po and forced me to remove him from all positions."
"At that time, I had just succeeded to the throne. I was afraid that the court would be unstable, so I dismissed Lian Po. He was already nearly eighty years old at that time, and it was time to retire."
"However, Zhao Yi refused to give up and wanted to put Lian Po to death. I couldn't bear it, so I secretly sent him to Wei State."
"In the end, Lian Po died in a foreign country and never returned to his hometown. Our country, Zhao, also lost a wise minister."
"The then crown prince Zhao Jia was bewitched by Prince Fu. In anger, they deposed him as crown prince and replaced him with Zhao Qian. They also successively eliminated many people who framed Zhongliang, and only then did the court have these few years. of stability.”
Hu Yu stared blankly imagining the scene back then, imagining Lian Po's unwillingness and King Zhao's helplessness.
It turned out that for many years, almost everyone had misunderstood her father.
