"What did the Lord say?" Zhao Yu seemed to understand what Lin Xiangru meant.
"That's right." Lin Xiangru nodded and continued: "Chong'er is safe outside, and Shen Sheng is dead inside. With today's situation, it is obvious that Lord Pingyang, Lou Chang and others have reached an agreement with our king, and the court meeting is just a formality. Cut scene. Don’t you understand yet?"
"Yes, if not for this, we would not have been able to miss you repeatedly. You must have been prepared in advance to avoid us so accurately." Zhao Yu nodded.
"After this incident, Lou Chang, Pingyang Jun and others who collaborated with my king will be more important to my king." Lin Xiangru sighed softly, obviously not wanting to admit this fact.
After taking a breath for a moment, Lin Xiangru continued: "And my body is seriously ill, and I don't know when I will pass. Only you and Lord Pingyuan are left in the court. Lord Pingyuan is an old man and knows everything about the world. It’s Uncle Wang again who has occupied the position of lord. Even if the other party wants to deal with it, it will not be easy. Only you..."
Zhao Yu was silent.
Obviously, Lin Shangqing is already making plans for what will happen after his death.
Today, the court is polarized. One side is represented by Pingyang Jun and Lou Chang, and the other side is led by himself and Pingyuan Jun. The generals may be able to stand on their own side, but after the battle with Shangdang, I am afraid that Restoring their strength has already consumed almost all their energy.
If Lin Shangqing is still there, with his huge prestige and influence, he may be able to suppress one or two, but once Lin Shangqing gives up and leaves, even if he has the support of military generals, he may not be able to withstand the "Lou Yang Clan" who are closer to King Zhao. ”.
Once a conflict breaks out between the two parties, he will be the best target of the "Lou Yang System".
Although my path to promotion is considered solid, I still don’t have the same hard merits as Lin Shangqing. In addition, I am still young and have a weak foundation. I don’t have the prestige of Lin Shangqing, nor does I have the background of Pingyuan Lord. Backstage.
Being in a high position, but with no merit, no background, and no foundation, he will obviously become the first choice for revenge by his opponents. Thinking of this, Zhao Yu already understood the reason why Lin Shangqing wanted to be released even if he was demoted.
However, Lin Xiangru's considerations are not just these. In Lin Xiangru's value system, individuals must always obey the state. If it is not conducive to the country's arrangements, Lin Xiangru will not bother to do it.
"Shangdang is the roof of the world and the main road out of Qin State in the east." Lin Xiangru continued: "Therefore, in the land of Shangdang, tens of thousands of troops must be stationed, and military must be the most important thing in everything. Therefore, the position of this county guard may also be Only you are the most suitable."
When Zhao Yu heard this, of course he understood Lin Xiangru's painstaking efforts.
Lou Chang and Lord Pingyang left with the king's orders, which naturally offended the military generals to death, and the Shangdang's subsequent defense deployment required the efforts of the military generals. If someone from Lou Chang's faction went to serve as the county guard, I am afraid that the Qin army would Before the call came, he collapsed first.
Of course, with the greed of the Louchang faction, they obviously do not like the devastated Shangdang, not to mention that there is always life danger, not only from the Qin army.
Therefore, the candidate for Shangdang County Sheriff must either come from among the generals, or he can only be selected from his own faction.
The victory in the Battle of Shangdang has already made King Zhao restless. If Shangdang County is given to the military commander faction again, he may really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Therefore, this candidate must be selected from civil servants. Even King Zhao was happy to take the position of county governor as a favor and repay Lin Shangqing's rejection.
Of course, because I dragged Lin Shangqing to work at the city gate and the palace gate today, and because of Lin Shangqing's close friend, the old General Lian Po, people from my own faction went to Shangdang, and the general faction would probably be able to accept it.
As a result, the appointment of members of his own faction as governor of Shangdang County has become the common appeal of almost all forces in Zhao State.
As for Lin Shangqing, he naturally followed the trend and wanted himself, who was about to become the target of the Lou Chang faction, to go to the Shangdang to avoid the edge.
However, blindly hiding is not a thing after all! Do you want to watch Lou Chang and others drag Zhao State to defeat step by step?
Zhao Yu's concerns were written on his face, Lin Shangqing
Naturally, there are arrangements for this.
"With Mr. Pingyuan at the center, at least there will be no surprises in the direction of the court." Lin Xiangru continued: "And on the front line of the resistance against Qin, if the Shangdang does not cause trouble, the Zhao Kingdom will not fall into an irreversible situation. At least three to five times Within this year, Zhao Guo will be safe and sound, do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand," Zhao Yu replied immediately.
"As for the future." Lin Xiangru suddenly smiled softly, patted Zhao Yu's shoulder with a somewhat withered hand, and said slowly: "As for the future of Zhao State, it depends on you and the general. .”
The skinny hand gently patted Zhao Yu's shoulder, with almost no weight, but Zhao Yu felt like he was being pressed down by a huge mountain.
Zhao Yu knew that Lin Shangqing had put the future of Zhao State on his shoulders.
Although the front line against Qin is difficult, it is also the fastest shortcut to meritorious service. And isn't what he lacks exactly the unbreakable merit? !
As long as he can persevere, he will be a minister again when he returns! When the time comes, it will not be impossible to work with the general to clear out the demons and monsters, and recreate the glory of Zhao State's "horse-riding and shooting in Hufu" style.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu's heart was already full of fighting spirit. It was obvious that Lin Shangqing's provocation was successful.
"Just go home and get ready. I will report to my king as soon as possible and let you join the party." Lin Xiangru looked at Zhao Yu who was full of fighting spirit, and felt extremely happy in his heart. Sure enough, he was not wrong about the person.
After calming down for a moment, Zhao Yu immediately agreed, "Yes!"
"Just the general?" Zhao Yu asked slightly worriedly.
Of course, this worry is not that he will be resisted after going, but the worry about General Zhao Kuo. After all, if he finally surrounded the enemy army, but was forced to open his mouth by a piece of king's order, he would never understand.
When Lin Xiangru heard this, he sighed again. Obviously, Lin Xiangru also knew that for Zhao Kuo, all the comfort and encouragement were in vain. Whether he could come out or not, he could only rely on Zhao Kuo himself.
If it can come out, Zhao Guo will have one more pillar to support the sky. If not, Zhao Guo may not just lose its pillar.
However, there is still something he can do, at least stop the suppression that may come with the end of the war, and at least give Zhao Kuo an undisturbed space and time to lick his wounds and think about life.
"Tell the general the full details of my arrangements for you." Lin Xiangru said with his eyes slightly closed.
