Chapter 386 Yafei Pavilion
Guo Kai looked at Cheng Jiao and Zhao Yan having a pleasant conversation and admired Zhao Yan even more.
He is worthy of being the man he chose to follow. He is able to make plans from a thousand miles away and anticipated that the Qin State will have other actions this time.
King Yan of Zhao felt a little relieved, as he was also betting that Qin had evil ambitions and ill intentions.
As he expected, Qin did have other ideas.
After all, although the State of Zhao was in decline, it was not under the control of everyone.
There are also veteran generals such as Li Mu and Pang Nuan in the country. Compared with joining forces with Yan to attack Zhao, joining forces with Zhao to attack Yan can achieve greater benefits.
More importantly, he saw that Qin wanted to continue using the strategy of making friends with distant states and attacking nearby ones, but did not want the six states in Shandong to completely unite.
Just like helping Wei to attack Chu before, it was just a trick to keep the six countries in chaos.
King Yan of Zhao brought all the officials back to the palace and personally entertained Lord Chang'an.
He was helpless against Qin's conspiracy, but that didn't mean he had no other means.
This time, Qin wanted to ally with Zhao to attack Yan, which was exactly what he wanted.
He was confident that he would have the last laugh, taking over Yan's territory and population, and making Qin's efforts in vain.
He has a lot of experience in attacking the State of Yan.
"Lord Chang'an, I heard that you are going to be an envoy to the State of Yan. Is this true?"
Cheng Jiao said with a smile: "Yan is a bitter and cold place, what is there worth my going there as an envoy?"
King Yan of Zhao laughed even more happily.
"It is said that the King of Yan held Prince Dan hostage in Qin, hoping to ally with Qin to attack Zhao. This must be a false rumor."
At this time, there were only a dozen civil officials and military generals sitting in the main hall, all of whom were looking at Cheng Jiao with sharp eyes.
He looked like he was ready to draw his sword if Cheng Jiao dared to say that he was right.
Cheng Jiao glanced at these rotten fish and shrimps. He could turn them into ice sculptures with just a breath.
That is, the dozens of skilled imperial guards outside the main hall can cheer him up. The masters in Zhao Wang Palace are okay, with three top masters, unlike Han Guowei, who is like a sieve.
Cheng Jiao said lazily: "It is true. Prince Dan is now in the hostage house in Xianyang. It is a pity that he met Zhao Jia too late."
The smile on Zhao Wangyan's face froze.
He felt that Cheng Jiao did it on purpose.
"What is the rebellious son doing? He flirts with the queen, keeps assassins, equips himself with armor, and wins over military commanders. He is really a rebel!"
King Zhao Yan said angrily.
The corner of Cheng Jiao's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Guo Kai, who was sitting opposite him calmly.
According to the intelligence from the treasury, these methods were all suggested by Guo Kai to the Queen.
As for why the investigation was so clear, we have to mention that Lao Lu's ghosts and monsters were really amazing and he knew Guo Kai thoroughly.
After venting his anger, King Yan of Zhao glanced at Guo Kai.
He knew very well that Guo Kai had played a role in this, but Guo Kai, who had always followed him, undoubtedly understood his taboos.
And Zhao Jia touched his taboo.
His ascension to the throne was not glorious, but Zhao Jia still wanted to expose this past event and welcome Lian Po in Daliang.
That would have been fine, but relying on his own reputation, he forced himself to express his position in the court.
He personally gave the order and sent an envoy with Lian Po's armor to Daliang to express to all officials that he would let bygones be bygones and continue to employ Lian Po as a general.
Fortunately, there was Guo Kai who understood him and helped him solve his problems.
When he returned to the country, he said, "Although General Lian is old, he still eats well. However, when he sat with me, he left three feces in a short while," which made Lian Po a laughing stock.
After that, no one mentioned letting Lian Po return to his country, which made him feel very relieved.
Therefore, he thought for a long time and decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that Guo Kai and Queen Chang used a trick to send Zhao Jia to Qin as a hostage.
Firstly, it was to temper Zhao Jia and let him know not to act on impulse, not to get caught up in the situation, and not to be indecisive. Secondly, it was to make sure that when he was gone and Guo Kai was alive, the guy who took over would have enough reasons to get rid of Guo Kai. With Li Mu around, he felt relieved.
As his childhood playmate, he knew very well what kind of person Guo Kai was.
It would be fine if he was there, but if he was not there, Guo Kai would definitely force Zhao Qian to follow Lu Buwei's example.
He had to be on guard, but he was reluctant to kill this guy who grew up with him, knew him inside and out, thought about what he was thinking, and helped him solve his problems.
In his heart, Zhao Jiayuan is more suitable to be the King of Zhao than Zhao Qian. Even for the purpose of revitalizing the State of Zhao, he would not choose Zhao Qian to take the throne.
Everything was just a show to appease the queen and paralyze the Qin State.
Cheng Jiao coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Young Master Zhao is a good person...
Since the other person's father had already said something harsh, it was difficult for him to say anything good about Zhao Jia.
King Yan of Zhao scolded Zhao Jia a few more times, but felt relieved when he saw that Cheng Jiao didn't seem to care about Zhao Jia.
If the Qin State keeps a close watch on Zhao Jia, it would not be easy for him to rescue that stupid boy.
……
It was almost evening when Cheng Jiao left the Zhao Palace.
As for brother Gan Luo, he was pushed out by him.
Anyway, he had already been told, and he was too lazy to deal with the rest of the mess.
Originally, this task belonged to Gan Luo, so it was not considered as neglecting the job by handing it over to Gan Luo.
then……
"Brother Guo, how do I get to Yafei Pavilion?"
Guo Kai's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that he was a fellow traveler.
He knew that a guy who could carry seven or eight beauties with him in his car must be fond of beautiful women.
He thought of King Zhao Yan asking him to take Cheng Jiao out for fun and eating.
Since he is from the same field, he is a professional.
"Lord Chang'an, the Yafei Pavilion is a unique place in Handan. If we talk about dancing, Zhao dance is the best among the seven kingdoms. If we talk about where Zhao dance is the most popular, it must be in Handan.
Zhuangzi has a poem called Qiu Shui, which once wrote about the learning of Yu Zi from Shouling in Handan. Girls here who have some talent will learn Zhaowu, which has become a fashion. Not only are their dancing postures beautiful, but their ordinary walking postures are also fascinating, hehe. "
Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "The story of learning to walk in Handan has been well-known for a long time, and the State of Yan has been ridiculed many times."
He was not sure whether Zhuangzi received public relations fees from the State of Zhao. It was such a coincidence. Maybe it was true.
Guo Kai was in a good mood: "Yan State is nothing special."
Cheng Jiao thought of Jing Ke's offer to treat him to the strongest liquor in Yan State.
"At least the alcohol there is strong."
Guo Kai said disapprovingly: "Strong wine is also inferior wine, which cannot compare to the mellow and fine wine of Zhao. How about I take Chang'an Jun to Yafei Pavilion to sit for a while, let Chang'an Jun taste the fine wine of Zhao and watch the top Zhao Wu of Handan?"
Cheng Jiao couldn't help but sigh. If he didn't know what Guo Kai was like, he would really think that he was a loyal and patriotic man.
No wonder they say that a loyal person looks like a traitor. People who look treacherous will be investigated eight hundred times before they have the chance to do anything bad.
Only honest people have the opportunity to make a big move...
Compared with the magnificent Xinzheng Zilanxuan, Yafei Pavilion is undoubtedly much more low-key.
The plaque is not big, made of ancient sandalwood, with three large characters "Yafei Pavilion" engraved on it.
There aren't many people coming and going at night.
There are very few, but they are all very rich.
But none of them are as rich and powerful as Guo Kai, the God of War.
Even someone as rich as Guo Kai would not dare to make a loud noise here.
Just because——
