"Pingyuan Jun is here to quarrel." Lou Chang stood up, looked at the maid who was cleaning the tea stains, suddenly thought of something, and shouted angrily: "No, he is going to file a complaint!"
"Come here, prepare your car. I want to enter the palace to see you." Lou Chang quickly walked out of the main hall and shouted angrily at the servants in the courtyard: "Now, immediately, immediately!" From Lou Chang's point of view, There's really nothing wrong with that.
You, Mr. Pingyuan, came to my residence to make such a fuss, just to tell others that you have been wronged for the sake of Zhao and Handan.
Then who can you talk to about this grievance? Or who can take care of your grievances? It can only be King Zhao without a doubt.
No matter what purpose Lord Pingyuan wants to achieve in the end, Lou Chang must explain to King Zhao as soon as possible to prevent Lord Pingyuan from exaggerating or distorting his words.
Today's matter is so big that King Zhao can find out about Lord Pingyuan without even investigating.
"Wronged". He must express his attitude to King Zhao: he has no doubts about Lord Pingyuan's intention, nor does he want to hinder Lord Pingyuan's recruitment. He reiterates his basic position of loving Zhao.
Must, must! While Mr. Pingyuan has just entered the palace and has just met my king, I apologize decisively!
To block the possibility of Mr. Pingyuan's wanton exaggeration, as a last resort, he would not hesitate to use some of his Kinnu to make amends.
It has to be said that Lou Chang has been able to dominate the court for so many years, and he still has quite a few skills, at least in terms of political sensitivity.
. From the time Mr. Pingyuan went out cursing to the time he boarded the carriage, it only took a short time for Lou Chang to connect a series of inappropriate behaviors of Mr. Pingyuan and then deduce Mr. Pingyuan's most likely purpose.
He is worthy of being a person who has been able to compete with Lord Pingyuan for so long. There is no simple person who can stand in this court.
Unfortunately, the opponent he encountered was not Lord Pingyuan, but the cunning and cunning Lin Xiangru, a being who had dominated the entire generation.
Lou Chang's reaction was almost entirely what he expected. What he wanted was Lou Chang's overreaction, and what he wanted was for Lou Chang to personally convey the news of Lord Pingyuan's visit to King Zhao clearly to the ears of King Zhao.
But what he and Mr. Pingyuan really want is far more than Dr. Lou Chang imagined!
"Hurry up!" Lou Chang lifted the curtain and urged the coachman to speed up, while looking forward, trying to find Mr. Pingyuan's carriage.
"How come you haven't seen Lord Pingyuan's chariot yet?" Lou Chang said to himself anxiously. If he could intercept Lord Pingyuan in front of the palace gate, he would definitely be able to make Lord Pingyuan return without success after apologizing. , but there is no need to worry about being threatened to spit out Kinu again.
Hearing Dr. Lou Chang's soliloquy, the whip in the coachman's hand waved even more rapidly! It's a pity that they are going in completely different directions. Even if the coachman breaks the whip, he will never be able to catch up.
Seeing the palace gate getting closer and closer, Lou Chang still couldn't see Mr. Pingyuan's car, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Even under the palace gate, Lou Chang could not see Lord Pingyuan, and his face immediately turned pale.
"I've seen Doctor Lou." The guard in front of the palace gate obviously knew Doctor Lou Chang and his carriage. He saw him from a distance and came over to greet him. There was nothing he could do about it. Who said that Doctor Lou Chang was the popular man in front of the king? .
"Yes." Lou Chang nodded lightly, trying hard to balance his mind, and then asked: "How long has Pingyuan Lord been in the palace?"
"Mr. Pingyuan?" The palace guard was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Since the last general was on duty, I have never seen Mr. Pingyuan enter the palace."
"What?" Lou Chang obviously did not expect the guard's answer, and frowned deeply.
"Will you enter the palace through the side door?" Listening to Lou Chang's question, the guard immediately replied. Lou Chang shook his head slowly. It was already night now. Although he and Ping Pingjun had the respect to enter and leave the palace, it was not a problem, but under the dark moon and high wind, whether it was to avoid suspicion or respect, Regardless of the king, they will only enter and exit through the main entrance and never through the other side doors.
"Perhaps Mr. Pingyuan is planning to enter the palace to see you tomorrow? Tonight, Mr. Pingyuan may want to let the news ferment further." Looking at this, Lou Chang felt slightly relieved.
"As long as Mr. Pingyuan has not entered the palace, he will have more room to operate." Lou Chang couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth with a smug smile: "I must have never thought that Mr. Pingyuan would be so fast." Just react." Immediately, without any hesitation, Lou Chang stepped into the palace.
Why did Lou Chang go to the palace to see him even though he knew Lord Pingyuan was not in the palace, but he didn't think of going to Lord Pingyuan's residence?
This is the cleverness of Lou Chang. When you go to Lord Pingyuan's residence, the outcome is uncertain. If you are tricked again, it's really hard to explain. It's better to go straight to the point - Lord Pingyuan's vital point!
No matter how Pingyuan Jun changes, he still has to come back to the king to make the decision in the end. As long as he can grasp the king's thoughts and preconceptions, he is King Zhao's confidant. It will be up to you, Pingyuan Jun, to build momentum tomorrow. Clever words will not help.
Coincidentally, Lin Xiangru thought so too. What is important is for you, a close friend, to speak out, so that the danger of the situation will become even more apparent.
If Mr. Pingyuan faces you directly, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the king's approval even after a lot of effort. But if Lou Chang had been the one to cry, perhaps King Zhao would have been prejudiced against Lord Pingyuan's behavior or even become furious because of Lou Chang's words.
But later, after thinking about it carefully, a simple and practical question will be exposed in front of King Zhao - what kind of situation would make Lord Pingyuan make this decision and condescend to go to Lou Chang's mansion?
If this is not enough, what if Mr. Pingyuan goes to more than just Lou Chang's mansion? What kind of desperate situation would make Pingyuan Junyu tirelessly go from house to house at night to beg for help?
... Just as Dr. Lou Chang walked into the palace with confidence, Lord Pingyuan immediately knocked on the door of the second family of ministers...and then the third and fourth families. ...Almost without exception, Mr. Pingyuan was disappointed. The better ones said they would consider it, and then sent Mr. Pingyuan out of the house as a gift, while the other ones made a lot of noise. Happy and dispersed.
There's nothing you can do, you're not recruiting soldiers, you're here to cut off everyone's financial resources! If this batch of kinnu is taken again, at least another three years of harvest will be affected.
This is unacceptable to all aristocratic families. That is Mr. Pingyuan! If it had been anyone else, they might have been beaten out.
Mr. Pingyuan, who had hit the wall more than ten times in a row, couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, but in his heart he was happy.
He knew that the more he was rejected, the closer he would be to his goal tonight.
"Your Majesty, are you still going?" The elders on the side looked at Mr. Pingyuan who was repeatedly rejected, and they couldn't bear it - when had their Lord ever suffered such humiliation?
Hearing this, Mr. Pingyuan smiled and said calmly to the elder: "We will suffer a little loss tonight, and let them come to beg us tomorrow!" After saying that, regardless of the elder's reaction, he got on the carriage and raised the door curtain. After entering, through the thick curtain, a deep voice came again: "Go to the next house."
"Yes." The elder said as he packed up the car stools. The creaking sound of the carriage rang again, and the tinkling wind chimes became louder and louder in the silent night... From around Xu time to around midnight now, Mr. Pingyuan has been walking for a full two and a half hours. Mr. Pingyuan has visited almost all the high-ranking and aristocratic gathering areas in the west of the city. Even if he visits during the New Year, it is no more than that.
Finally, he was politely invited out by the head of the last family. Mr. Pingyuan looked at the hanging moon that had reached the zenith and let out a long breath in his heart - the last step was finally reached.
"Enter the palace." Sitting on the carriage again, Mr. Pingyuan finally gave the order.
The order for "general attack".
"Yes." The elder and the driver agreed in unison. At this time, the king had already fallen asleep, but he was tossing and turning on the bed unable to fall asleep. Naturally, all he could think about was Lou Chang's words an hour ago.
"Pingyuanjun",
"conscription",
Words such as "Jiannu" echoed in King Zhao's mind over and over again, even overshadowing the so-called patriotism and respect for the king that Lou Chang emphasized over and over again.
This is where Lin Xiangru is more brilliant than Lou Chang. That's right, King Zhao trusts you Lou Chang, likes you Lou Chang, and makes you his confidant.
But, you have to know that King Zhao's trust and love are not about how capable you are, Lou Chang, let alone how indispensable you are.
Just because you can understand his dirty thoughts, you will agree with him without any bottom line, say things that are difficult for him to say, and do things that are difficult for him to do.
Therefore, he will rely on you when suppressing Zhao Kuo, will think of you when balancing the court, will praise you repeatedly in front of everyone, and will push you to a place where one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
If life continues to go on so peacefully, maybe you can become a sharp blade and stand above ten thousand people.
But, after all, the Warring States Period today cannot be peaceful! Once any accident occurs, just like now, all logic will be overturned and everything will be different.
The reason is very simple. In the final analysis, the only one King Zhao likes and trusts is himself, and the only thing he cares about is his own authority and his own Kingdom of Zhao.
In the face of the danger of Zhao State, King Zhao would give up everyone without hesitation, including everyone he regarded as his confidants. Even the so-called confidants were the first to give up, even before people like General Zhao Kuo.
Because King Zhao knew very well that Zhao Kuo was the one who could turn the tide for Zhao. It's perfect to use a useless confidant to change the heart of a pillar.
Of course, it is far from the point to sacrifice the flag now. But Lou Chang's words have obviously sounded the alarm to King Zhao. What is missing is for Lord Pingyuan to go and light the last fire!
