King Zhao Ling found Zhao Yun again and said, "I want to make my son Hua the King. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun knew that this was King Zhao Ling testing her. Even though she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to show it. She could only say tactfully: "Father, it is a good thing to confer the title of king on your brother. But there are frequent border wars now. If At this time, dividing the troops into different areas may not be conducive to the enemy."
"Really?" King Zhao Ling knew that she disagreed, so he said, "Then think about it as a father."
King Zhao Ling's current behavior is very contradictory. Logically speaking, if he abdicates on his own initiative, he should delegate power. But how can someone who has been king for a long time be willing to give up power?
He is compromising now not because he is afraid of Zhao Yun, but because he is worried that he has pushed Zhao Yun too far and that there will be chaos within the Zhao country.
But the decision he made cannot be changed. Today he just informed Zhao Yun to make her mentally prepared.
…
Zhao Yun returned to the palace, feeling uneasy. According to the situation during the simulation, Gongzihua may have already started planning how to get rid of himself at this time.
King Zhao Ling thought simply. If a pair of children were given the title of king respectively, everyone would be able to coexist peacefully. How can this be? Neither she nor Gongzihua will allow a second king in Zhao, even if this king is their father!
"It's difficult to accomplish this by myself." Zhao Yun thought, in the simulated time and space, there was also Zhang Beichen's help.
Now she can't find anyone as loyal and capable as Zhang Beichen.
Zhao Hu, this person has a chance of betrayal!
Although Fei Jian was loyal, as a veteran of King Zhao Ling, he had too many eyes and ears around him and was constantly being watched, so it was impossible for him to do anything secret.
"It has to be Zhang Beichen!" Zhao Yun thought carefully.
So, she opened the simulator and asked Ying Yin for help.
Zhao Yun: "Auntie, can you lend Zhang Beichen to me for a while?"
At this moment, Ying Yin was lying in Zhang Beichen's arms.
When she saw the news, she felt slightly unhappy. Why did everyone ask her to borrow someone? Zhang Beichen is not only her prime minister, but also her husband. Does anyone lend her husband out every day?
Thinking of this, Ying Yin couldn't help pinching Zhang Beichen.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Beichen was confused. Did he do something wrong?
Ying Yin replied to Zhao Yun: "Zhao Yun, do you think it's possible?"
Zhao Yun continued: "Auntie, I don't have any other intentions. I just want Zhang Beichen to go on a mission as before."
Ying Yin sneered: "A mission? What are you thinking, do you think I don't know?"
Zhao Yun did not defend herself and said: "If my aunt agrees, I am willing to give Qin three thousand sets of cavalry equipment. These three thousand sets are enough to equip three thousand fine cavalry. With these three thousand fine cavalry, it will be easy for my aunt to defeat the Rong Di tribe." many!"
Zhao Yun's words immediately made Ying Yin's heart flutter!
Three thousand sets of cavalry equipment. As we all know, Zhao's cavalry is very powerful. After Zhang Beichen's simulation, Zhao Yun is also promoting the improvement of cavalry equipment.
Although Qin also has technology, it lacks resources! No way, too poor!
Give her these three thousand sets of equipment, which is three thousand fine cavalry!
This is real time and space, and the combat capabilities of various countries are not as exaggerated as in simulated time and space. Three thousand fine cavalry are enough to fight against tens of thousands of infantry!
Ying Yin hesitated in his heart.
She looked at Zhang Beichen and then at the chat messages.
Zhang Beichen asked in confusion: "Ren Yin, what's wrong with you?"
Ying Yin hesitated slightly, and then said: "Mr. Beichen, if you make a small contribution to Qin, we can get excellent cavalry equipment. What do you think?"
"Of course." Zhang Beichen said without hesitation.
"Yes." Ying Yin nodded slightly, and then said: "In that case. Mr. Beichen, then please go to Zhao as an envoy!"
"Ah?" Only then did Zhang Beichen realize that Ying Yin had "sold" him after a long time.
He stared at Yinren fiercely and asked, "Ren Yin, do you treat your husband like this?"
Ying Yin's eyes wandered and he said with a guilty conscience: "This is all for Qin, and you agree with it yourself."
"That won't work, you have to make it up to me!"
"Ah~"
…
Before Zhang Beichen went on the mission, he first asked Zhao Yun, who truthfully explained the current situation.
In the chat area of the simulator, Zhang Beichen said: "So, if you don't take action, the throne may not be guaranteed?"
Zhao Yun: "Gu Zheng is so worried. Although Gu declined his father's proposal last time, his father did not take Gu's opinion seriously. He has already begun to study the location of Gong Zihua's fiefdom, and plans to allocate it to His troops and ministers!”
"If you really let your father do this, the Zhao Kingdom will be split into two and reduced to a small country!"
"Zhang Qing, I hope you can help me!"
Zhang Beichen thought, Ying Yinren had already "rented" him out. In this case, let's make some plans for Zhao Yun.
Because this is real time and space, it is impossible for me to go to Zhao Kingdom and lie dormant for a few years to win the trust of Gong Zihua, so my thinking needs to change.
"It seems that we need to invite foreign aid!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
He immediately contacted Wei Yao and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go on a mission to the State of Zhao. I hope the King of Wei can send troops to conduct exercises on the border of Zhao and Wei."
Wei Yao: "Zhang Beichen, what are you planning?"
Zhang Beichen: "We can't say anything yet."
Wei Yao: "What benefits does this king have?"
Zhang Beichen asked: "What benefits does the king want?"
Wei Yao looked at the chat message, showed a sly smile, and said: "When you return to Qin from Zhao, you must come to this king."
Zhang Beichen: "This...isn't this good? I'm just on an envoy to the State of Zhao."
Wei Yao: "Then I won't help you!"
Zhang Beichen: "Okay."
Wei Yao: "Then it's settled. You decide the time and place, and I will cooperate with you in acting."
…
Zhang Beichen took the envoy and headed to Zhao State.
His apparent purpose for this trip was to form an alliance. Because of Wei's pressure on Qin, the King of Qin sent him to Zhao to form an alliance with Zhao.
King Zhao Ling and others were also very aware of Qin's situation. King Wei had invited them to attack Qin together before, so they did not doubt the purpose of his mission.
Zhang Beichen walked all the way and arrived at the capital of Zhao State a month later.
He did not go to visit King Zhao directly, but first went to the Lord's Father's Palace to pay homage to King Zhao Ling.
"Qin envoy Zhang Beichen has met the king." Zhang Beichen looked at King Zhao Ling on the throne. He was exactly the same as in the simulated time and space.
He is strong, energetic, and exudes the pressure of a Nine Realm master. He is at a high-spirited age.
It is impossible for an ordinary king to abdicate in favor of his descendants if he has such conditions.
King Zhao Ling abdicated on his own initiative. Zhang Beichen felt that he probably wanted to leave most of the government affairs to Zhao Yun, so that he could not only be in power but also handle national affairs, and still have the energy to practice in order to break through to the holy realm.
Everyone wants to reach the holy realm and extend their life for hundreds of years, but it is a huge temptation!
King Zhao Ling looked at Zhang Beichen and asked: "Zhang Beichen, when you came to Zhao Kingdom, you didn't go to visit King Zhao first. Why did you come to see me first?"
Zhang Beichen said respectfully: "Everyone in the world knows that my father is the king of Zhao. I am here to represent the King of Qin to discuss an alliance with the King. Naturally, I have to visit the King first."
"Furthermore, in terms of seniority, King Qin and the King are of the same generation, and King Zhao is the niece of King Qin, so he should also visit the King first."
"Hahaha!" King Zhao Ling saw that the foreign envoys knew who was the boss in Zhao State, and he was even satisfied, and said: "You are quite clever."
"However, forming an alliance is not a trivial matter and cannot be decided rashly. The king still needs to think about it for a few days. During these days, you should stay in the Kingdom of Zhao."
"Yes." Zhang Beichen didn't say much.
…
After he left, King Zhao Ling immediately came to Tian Buyi to discuss with Yan Fang.
"Qin wants to form an alliance with Zhao to fight against Wei. What do you think?" King Zhao Ling asked.
Yan Fang immediately said: "Your Majesty, no alliance is allowed. Wei is powerful and we are neighboring countries. If we offend Wei at this time, Wei will definitely not be happy!"
"As for the Qin State, its power is weakened. There is no benefit for us to form an alliance with them. We will also provoke the hostility of the Wei State in vain. The gains outweigh the losses!"
Tian Buyi did not object directly, but said to King Zhao Ling: "Your Majesty, you might as well ask King Zhao to meet the envoy of Qin and see what she thinks."
If you form an alliance with the Qin State, you will offend the Qin State if you do not form an alliance. If you form an alliance, you will offend the Wei State.
Although the State of Zhao was not afraid of offending the State of Qin, King Zhao Ling did not want to get into trouble in vain. Hearing Tian Buyi's words, his eyes lit up. Yes, let Zhao Yun handle it. Even if King Qin is dissatisfied and pretends to reprimand Zhao Yun, the matter will be over.
Isn't it much better to let Zhao Yun take the blame than to handle it yourself?
"Okay, let's leave this matter to Yun'er!" King Zhao Ling immediately ordered someone to summon Zhao Yun and tell her to handle the matter.
…
Zhang Beichen stayed in the capital of Zhao Kingdom for three days. Three days later, King Zhao summoned him to the palace.
In the palace, Zhang Beichen finally met King Zhao in reality.
She sat high on the throne, with a plump figure and a pair of long legs half hidden under the royal robe, which aroused people's imagination. With a cold expression and sharp eyes, none of the officials dared to look at her.
But when Zhao Yun saw Zhang Beichen, there was a flash of joy in her eyes. She quickly hid her emotions and asked Zhang Beichen: "Why did the Qin envoy come to my country, Zhao?"
When Zhang Beichen explained his purpose, Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Qin will form an alliance with Zhao to fight against Wei?"
"Then what benefits can I, the State of Zhao, get?"
Zhang Beichen explained: "The Ying family of Qin and the Zhao family of Zhao are from the same family and should help each other."
"Joke!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly, "With the alliance with Qin, only I, Zhao, can help you, Qin. What ability do you, Qin, have to help me, Zhao? Qin's land west of Hexi is still in the hands of Wei. You can't even protect your own country, and you still want to bring me, Zhao State, to deal with Wei State? Are you a fool for being alone?"
"This..." Zhang Beichen wanted to continue talking, but Zhao Yun said impatiently: "Please step back. Your Qin country has no sincerity at all. It's okay not to talk about the alliance!"
