As he spoke, Lin Xiangru coughed violently again. He held his breath for a long time, making Lin Xiangru unable to straighten his waist.
"The Qin army is coming again?" King Zhao hesitated a little after hearing this. Yes, although Qin was defeated, it still had fertile lands in Guanzhong and Bashu, plus the hundreds of thousands of troops that had withdrawn from Shangdang, although There are no worries in recent years, but what about three to five years from now?
Even if Bai Qi is gone, wouldn't a king drag Lian Po back to the Shangdang for three years? What's more, Lian Po is old, and as for others, he can't compare to Lian Po.
If Qin really comes to attack, perhaps Zhao Kuo will really have to rely on Zhao Kuo to continue to defend the territory...
Seeing that King Zhao's expression softened again, Lin Xiangru hurriedly continued: "I'm about to die, but my words are good. I hope my king will notice..."
Obviously, Lin Xiangru wanted to betray Zhao Kuo and continue to score points for Zhao Kuo. But before Lin Xiangru finished speaking again, his body couldn't bear it anymore. The swelling in his lungs made Lin Xiangru bend down unconsciously, followed by a rush. And the violent coughing, the kind that almost coughed out the lungs.
Looking at Lin Xiangru who was coughing endlessly, King Zhao panicked a little. He didn't want to take the blame for Lin Xiangru's anger. He quickly helped Lin Xiangru up in person, patted Lin Xiangru's back and said with concern: "Sir, please don't be anxious. The matter has not yet been decided. Please speak slowly."
"Come here, please help me lie down in the side hall and call the doctor!" Turning his head, King Zhao anxiously shouted to the palace attendants beside him.
The eunuch on the side quickly sent the palace servants to ask for a doctor, and he immediately stretched out his hand to take Lin Xiangru's hand. But the hand that was originally supporting Lin Xiangru was held tightly by Lin Xiangru. It was obvious that Lin Xiangru still had something to say to King Zhao.
In desperation, King Zhao had to accompany Lin Xiangru to the side hall.
With a wave of his sleeves, King Zhao said to the Zhao courtiers who were about to follow him in: "Please retreat first, and I will personally serve Lin Qing with the decoction."
As a veteran of two dynasties, Lin Xiangru devoted himself to serving the country. He was old and sick. In order to show his honor, King Zhao went to Lin Xiangru's house from time to time to personally offer decoctions and medicines. This was not the first time King Zhao had done this, and it did not cause any arousal. Speculations by others. Everyone then retreated together.
King Zhao and Lin Xiangru quickly came to the side hall.
Lin Xiangru's body was really weak and he could only lie half down on the soft floor. King Zhao was sitting beside him. The palace officials and doctors around him had also been sent out of the door by King Zhao.
When Lin Xiangru saw that there was no one around, he said to King Zhao: "This man Lou Chang is too close to Qin. His words make things difficult for Zhao Kuo. This is the behavior of a villain, and I, the king, should look into it."
"No one knows this." King Zhao nodded.
Seeing that King Zhao didn't care much, Lin Xiangru didn't know that King Zhao was just perfunctory.
He immediately continued: "If it is just a villain's behavior, it will not be a problem. Even pro-Qin and resistance to Qin should be in conflict with each other. It is fine for my king to accept the good deeds. However, what he does is what he thinks. , none of them are for the Zhao State, and they put personal interests above the interests of the Zhao State, so most of their plans are for Qin's desires. My king must not listen to Lou Chang's words anymore."
When King Zhao heard this, his expression changed slightly. Lin Xiangru almost said by name that Lou Chang was a daughter of Qin. Of course, this is almost a recognized fact in the eyes of Zhao's courtiers, but in the eyes of King Zhao, Lou Chang is a good minister of Zhao who is dedicated to him.
The butt determines the head. Different positions naturally lead to different views on things. For example, ordering Zhao Kuo to stop his attack was almost unbelievable in the eyes of the courtiers, but in the eyes of King Zhao, this was the best way to protect the stability of his royal power.
Of course, Lin Xiangru's bold and direct suppression of Lou Chang was obviously his last attempt. If King Zhao is willing to obey, then Zhao Guo can still be saved. If King Zhao...
After hearing Lin Xiangru's words, King Zhao naturally felt uncomfortable, but he finally endured it and said: "I know it, Lou Chang may have his shortcomings, but after all, he is still a minister of the Zhao Kingdom."
Lin Xiangru also sighed softly after hearing this. Sure enough, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.
Seeing that Lou Chang could not attack, Lin Xiangru immediately continued to change direction and said: "Ping
Yang Jun said, firstly, because he has always opposed taking the Shangdang territory, this victory is like a slap in the face; secondly, he also has a rift with Zhao Kuo's father; thirdly, this person has wanted to seize military power for a long time. Therefore, he slandered Zhao Kuo more and more. My king should neither listen nor believe such biased remarks. "
"I also know it." King Zhao continued to affirm: "There is no doubt that Ma Fujun may have contributed to Zhao, but he made his own decisions and where did he leave me? I hate him deeply for doing this and will never tolerate it. presumptuous."
Faced with Lin Xiangru's aggressiveness, King Zhao was obviously a little annoyed. It happened that there was no one around, so he immediately made his attitude clear.
As soon as King Zhao's words came out, Lin Xiangru already knew that Barbie was having sex! It's all fucking over.
There is merit due to Zhao, but not great contribution to Zhao, and the word "or" must be added. That was the credit for destroying the Qin army's 400,000 troops and gaining the land of two counties for Zhao! His father only defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and he was granted the title of Ma Fu Jun for his merits. This kind of merit is infinitely higher than that of the battle with Yu. How can it just be "or" or "meritorious"? If these are just possible merits, then my meeting in Mianchi and the return of the perfect jade to Zhao are nothing!
If that's all, forget it. Add another one that I deeply hate! Note, not evil, but hate! I hate it so much that I have to shed my skin even if I don’t die!
As for what Zhao Kuo did, King Zhao also characterized it as merciless - a wanton act.
What else is there to say? The best result for welcoming Zhao Kuo is to offset his merits and demerits and return to his hometown. Perhaps only when Qin attacked Handan again could Zhao Kuo put on his armor again.
How do you treat a great general like this? What do you think of the soldiers on the front lines who bleed? What do you think of thousands of Zhao people, even nobles from all walks of life? Oh, so this is the result of working so hard for you, so it is better to surrender. Forget it about Qin.
Surrender to Qin, what if Zhao Kuo really surrendered to Qin in anger? With the talent of Zhao Kuo and the courage of the Qin army, can anyone stop him? Even the newly attached Shangdang and Hanoi counties might rebel collectively and follow Zhao Kuo to surrender to Qin!
Well, probably not!
If this is really the case, I dare not think about it!
Lin Xiangru only felt that his chest was getting more and more stuffy: God, please accept me, I really can't carry you! No matter how easy it is to talk, you are just ignorant!
"No matter what, Zhao Kuo is fighting for the State of Zhao. Don't let the hero's heart be chilled by a little oversight..." Lin Xiangru used his last strength to grab King Zhao's sleeve and stared at it. King Zhao said.
