"This battle is just to seize the territory of Yan State, not to destroy Yan State."

"And in recent years, our country has repeatedly shown favorability to Qin. The King of Qin has been in Zhao for several years and has a close relationship with many Zhao people. How could he attack Zhao!"

"The matter of helping Wei attack Yan has been decided, so don't say more!"

Faced with Zhao Jia's hard advice, Zhao Yan couldn't listen at all, and did not give Zhao Jia the opportunity to continue advice, so he left without saying goodbye.

"Father!"

Zhao Jia stepped up and wanted to understand it with reason and move it with emotion.

"The envoy of Wei State is here, how can you allow you to be arrogant? You won't retreat quickly!"

Zhao Yan has never liked his eldest son. Zhao Jia's sharpness a few years ago made Zhao Yan feel even more crisis and regarded him as a potential enemy.

Not to mention that Zhao Yan did not think that Qin would send troops to attack Zhao at this time. Even if he was really suspicious, he would probably not adopt Zhao Jia's suggestions.

Facing Zhao Yan's reprimand, although Zhao Jia was full of anger, the other party was his father after all.

Even if there is no love between father and son, Zhao Jia cannot disobey his father's order, otherwise his reputation will be destroyed and there will be no future for him to succeed.

Forcefully suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart, Zhao Jia frowned for a while, and finally walked towards the inner hall.

In the inner hall of the royal palace, the most luxurious bedroom, King Zhao lies on the bed, his face a little gray.

Nowadays, King Zhao is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't even have much energy to deal with government affairs, which makes Zhao Yan manage the government.

However, Zhao Dan is King Zhao after all.

If Zhao Jia could convince King Zhao, even if Zhao Yan was unwilling to do so, he could only obey the king's name.

"Qian'er, you are well-behaved and filial. You often see me, but what rewards do you want!"

King Zhao looked at Zhao Qian standing beside him, and his eyes showed admiration, obviously very satisfied with his grandson.

"As a grandson, one should be filial to the king's father. The grandson only did his duty, how dare he ask the king's father for rewards?"

Over the past few years, Zhao Qian, who was once arrogant and domineering, has also made some changes.

Especially in the past, Zhao Qian was slapped in the face by Zhao Jia on the street. After seeing Zhao Jia show his sharpness and marrying the princess of Chu, Zhao Qian also began to slowly restrain his domineering personality.

At the warning of his mother Li Ji, Zhao Qian not only tried his best to please Zhao Yan, but also visited King Zhao every few days.

As soon as the beginning, King Zhao was busy with government affairs and was still a little impatient with Zhao Qian's visit.

Since King Zhao's health became worse and worse and he handed over government affairs to Zhao Yan for treatment, he has not started to hate Zhao Qian as much as he has.

"You kid, you are sensible!"

King Zhao smiled and waved his hand to signal Zhao Qian to sit on the bed.

"By the way, Brother Jia is busy with what he has been doing recently? He seems to be entering the palace less and less."

King Zhao thought of Zhao Jia, who was so handsome in the past, and asked.

When Zhao Qian heard this, he sighed deeply, and then said with some concern: "Since my brother married the princess of Chu, he has begun to be addicted to beauty and strange and lustful skills, and he rarely even enters the court to share his father's worries."

"Brother has been busy with the Tianxiang Tower and the craftsmen he recruited during this period."

Upon hearing this, the smile on his face gradually calmed down.

Originally, King Zhao valued Zhao Jia very much and felt that his eldest grandson would become a wise king in the future.

Unfortunately, over the years, Zhao Jia opened Tianxiang Tower, recruited all kinds of lower-class people, and enclosed land to study messy things, which made King Zhao quite disliked.

In the view of King Zhao, those are things that are done by inferior talents. As noble as Zhao Jia, he should participate more in the government affairs to share the worries of the country, rather than losing his ambitions and making friends with some messy people.

"Master, Prince Jia asks for a meeting."

At this moment, the eunuch stepped forward and whispered to King Zhao.

Zhao Qian, who was sitting next to him, his face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon returned to normal.

"Let him come in."

King Zhao was obviously a little surprised, but soon he calmed down and issued an order to the eunuch.

Zhao Jia followed the eunuch into the house and saw King Zhao and Zhao Qian. He frowned slightly.

"Meet brother!"

As soon as he was about to salute King Zhao, he saw Zhao Qian get up from the bed, walk in front of him, and salute very respectfully.

Zhao Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile soon spread on her face. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qian's arm.

"I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you very much for me."

Both brothers were smiling on their faces, but their eyes were cold and their hearts were extremely fucked, and they were unwilling to be polite to each other.

However, in front of King Zhao, no matter how bad the two brothers are, they still have to pretend to be friendly and respectful.

After the greetings, Zhao Jia came to the King of Zhao and saluted solemnly: "Greetings to the prince's father!"

King Zhao sat up from the bed, waved his hand, and said, "What's the matter with Jiaer coming to the palace to see me?"

Listening to King Zhao's tone, Zhao Jia secretly called out.

He quickly woke up, with a look of concern on his face and said, "I heard that the prince's father was in poor health, so he specially asked Tianxianglou to collect spiritual medicines in various countries at a great cost to help the prince's father."

"The grandson has asked someone to hand over the medicinal materials to the medical officer, and they will dispense medicine based on the body of the prince."

"The grandson came here to ask the prince's father if he had anything he liked to eat. No matter what the prince wanted to eat, the grandson would come to him at any cost for the prince's father."

When King Zhao heard this, his originally tense face softened immediately, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

"You kid, you have the intention."

"While the national affairs are difficult, you will grow up and become a human being. Naturally, you should share your father's worries and pay more attention to the affairs of the court."

"I have a clear idea in my body. No matter how good the medicine is, it will not have much effect."

Speaking of this, King Zhao's tone was obviously a little lonely.

Zhao Jia stepped forward and held King Zhao's hands, and said with some emotion: "The king's father will be able to live a hundred years, and the Zhao State will be able to pass on for generations."

"I hope so."

The smile in King Zhao's eyes became stronger and stronger.

Obviously, although what Zhao Jia said was impossible, it just happened to be in the hearts of King Zhao.

His own body and the future of Zhao State are what King Zhao values ​​most.

"Brother, your father will naturally be in good health. However, if you have time, you should come and see your father more often. Your father always cares about you."

"If you are really busy with the restaurant business, you might as well tell me that I will naturally replace my brother and visit my father twice as much."

When Zhao Qian saw that the two of them became more and more harmonious, he immediately walked over and said with a chuckling.

Zhao Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't want to continue to scheming with Zhao Qian, but her face became serious instead.

"Did the king's father know that Wei State invited our country to jointly attack Yan State?"

King Zhao nodded: "I heard something."

Zhao Jia said carefully: "In the past, the countries of Yan were unable to succeed, let alone Zhao and Wei?"

"According to Sun'er's opinion, Zhao's great enemy is Qin. It is not advisable to continue to send troops to Yan State at this time, otherwise the country will be empty and it may lead to invasion of Qin State."

King Zhao did not answer, but Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Brother, this is a bad word."

"In the past, the countries of various countries divided Yan, and Qin could not stand by and watch Yan's demise. Now Zhao and Wei have only captured some cities, how could they anger Qin?"

"Besides, Qin State is powerful, and our Zhao State is not as good as it is now. We should focus on harmony and harmony. How can we regard it as a great enemy before we have no ability to compete with it? Wouldn't we cause trouble for ourselves?"

"In the past, the king's father sent someone to send his beloved Qin, and his descendants returned to Qin, and he had formed friendship with the King of Qin. In recent years, Zhao has repeatedly shown goodwill to Qin and is willing to follow the leader of Qin. How could Qin send troops to attack Zhao?"

"On the contrary, if Zhao wants to grow, attacking Yan is the best choice. Only after Zhao is strong can we truly compete with Qin and will we be ashamed of abstaining from a single blow!"

Listening to Zhao Qian's clear and reasonable remarks, King Zhao nodded slightly.

"Jia'er doesn't need to worry about Qin."

"After the end of the Battle of Handan, Zhao State repeatedly showed favor with Qin State. Now the King of Qin has a deep connection with Zhao State, and even the Princess of Qin is a Zhao person."

"With Qin and Zhao's current relationship, if Zhao only captured a few Yan's cities, how could Qin send troops to attack Zhao?"

"And Jiaer, don't forget that you married the princess of Chu, Zhao and Chu formed a real alliance. How could Qin take risks? At this time!"

Although the Battle of Changping made the Zhao people extremely hated Qin, the seeds of fear were planted in their hearts.

After the Battle of Handan, from the King of Zhao and the ministers and generals in the court, they actually knew the gap between Qin and Zhao, and did not dare to start the war between the two countries easily.

This also prompted Zhao's court to treat Qin very ambiguously.

Something in history is very interesting: Zhao State attacked Yan State, and Yan State sent envoys to Qin State for help. As a result, the envoy was caught when he passed by Zhao State, and the King of Zhao wanted to seize the envoy.

The envoy said: "It was the matter of Zhao and Yan that the king attacked Yan. As an envoy, I went to Qin, but it was the matter of Yan and Qin."

"If the king detains me, it will detain the envoy who rushed to Qin. This will cause a crack in the close relationship between Qin and Zhao."

When King Zhao heard the words of the envoy of Yan State, he let the envoy of Yan State go away. As a result, the envoy of Yan State persuaded Qin State to send troops to attack Zhao.

From this we can also see that Zhao is not only afraid of Qin, but also thinks that after Zhao is friendly to Qin, Qin will not abandon Zhao and favor Yan.

It is this superficial short-sighted look that made Zhao State insulted by Qin.

At this time, King Zhao and Zhao Qian were in this mentality.

Zhao Jia looked at the optimistic King Zhao, but his passionate heart was cold. He never expected that Zhao State, who had experienced the defeat in Changping, had not seen the face of Qin clearly. He also hoped that kindness and humbleness could achieve peace in Qin.

But they forgot that Qin is a tiger and wolf. As long as they find an opportunity, no matter who the opponent is, they will pounce on it and take a bite.

The so-called goodwill and allies can be trampled on without hesitation as long as the vital interests of Qin State is touched.

Zhao Jia seemed to understand why the countries repeatedly joined forces to attack Qin, but they all ended in failure.

It is not that all countries are not strong, but that they have not yet deeply realized how terrifying Qin is. Some countries may even be shaken with a lucky mentality when facing Qin's promises.
