Handan.

A court discussion was held in the side hall of Xingong Palace. The father, Zhao He and several important officials of the State of Zhao were all present to listen to Lin Xiangru's specific report on the mission to Qin.

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, everyone's faces showed shock and admiration.

Xiangbang Feiyi couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and praised: "I didn't expect that the Zhongfu Chief was so promising at such a young age, which really opened my eyes."

Fei Yi looked at Lin Xiangru, and his old face was full of admiration, and he had a few distinctions.

Feiyi is already very old.

This old man from the three dynasties of Zhao State with white hair was nearly twenty years older than Zhao's father, and now his figure has begun to look a little hunched.

By the standards of this era, even if Fei Yi dies on the spot, he can be called a joyful and mourning.

Considering successors is an imperative thing for Fei Yi.

Logically speaking, who will be the next prime minister is naturally determined by the Lord's father and the king, but Fei Yi's identity and status are here, and his opinions will inevitably be valued by the Lord's father and the king.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as anyone can get Fei Yi's full recommendation, even if he is just an unknown ordinary scholar, he will inevitably become a popular candidate for Zhao Guoxiangbang in an instant.

Fei Yi now thinks that Lin Xiangru is very good.

The responsibility of the prime minister is to assist the monarch and the prime minister in state affairs.

State affairs refer not only to the internal but also to the external.

Lin Xiangru's excellent performance as the Chief of the Central Government proves his ability to handle state affairs internally, and this trip to Xianyang proves his ability to handle diplomacy externally.

The most important thing is that Lin Xiangru is still very young.

Youngness represents potential.

At this moment, Fei Yi had already regarded Lin Xiangru as one of the next candidates for Xiangbang.

But it's not that no one sang the opposite.

The Neishilou hesitated for a moment, and remembered the obviously angry secret letter sent from Xianyang two days ago, and still spoke.

"Doctor Lin's move was indeed quite encouraging and suppressed the prestige of the King of Qin. But if the Zhao-Qin alliance was broken down, wouldn't it be a big mistake for Zhao State because of small profits?"

On the other hand, the Censor Xinqi immediately responded: "What the inner historian said is reasonable. If the King of Qin breaks up the alliance with the Great Zhao and instead goes to join forces with the Qi Kingdom to attack Zhao, that would be a big bad thing."

The two of them sang together, and the purpose was very simple, which was to deny Lin Xiangru's achievements.

Fei Yi frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Lou Qing's words are too much. Then the King of Qin clearly wanted to shamelessly ask for the Heshi Bi. The Great Zhao is not such a weak country. How could the Qin people take the Heshi Bi and lose the face of the Great Zhao?"

The two sides couldn't help but have another dispute.

The master's father spoke in a deep voice and said, "Okay, don't quarrel. The Qin King's little thoughts have to deceive others. How can the widow's father not know? Lin Xiang's trip to Xianyang has promoted the prestige of the great Zhao Kingdom and won the heart of the widow's father. He is a meritorious minister and is not guilty!"

The Lord's Father concluded, and the ministers were silent and stopped arguing.

Zhao He, who was in a good mood, glanced at the ministers present and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient for the second and third sons. Since the King of Qin sent Lin Xiangru back to his country, it proved that Qin had no plans to break the alliance and would not go to war between Qin and Zhao."

The master father waved his hand indifferently and said, "So what if the war really starts? If the King of Qin wants to fight, his widow father will fight him!"

The Lord's father's eyes fell on Lin Xiangru, revealing a hint of admiration: "Lin Xiangru, you have made great contributions to the country this time when you are on a mission, and you should reward him! From today on, you will be the doctor of the Great Zhao!"

Lin Xiangru's body shook slightly, and then immediately gave a big gift: "Thank you, Lord Father, thank you for your kindness!"

After hearing the reward from the Lord's Father, several important officials in Zhao State changed more or less.

Zhao State implemented a system of parallel official titles, and presiding for a doctor was not an actual official position, but a title.

It is not an official position, but it does not mean that the title is completely useless.

On the contrary, the level of the title is actually extremely important.

Because, this is a symbol of an official’s status in the Zhao aristocratic system!

The title of Zhao State was mainly based on the system of the Zhou Dynasty, but it also had many changes of its own.

The title of Zhao State is the most noble of the title of King (also known as Jun Hou, Jun, Hou, and Duke), and is only under the king.

Below the throne is a noble, including three types: the superior, the middle, and the lower.

There are three types of doctors under the court, including senior doctors, junior doctors and junior doctors.

There are other titles under the doctor, but usually, doctors are used as the dividing line.

Only those who can obtain the title of doctor or doctor or above are regarded as one of the senior nobles of Zhao State and are regarded as "one of their own people" by the core ruling class of Zhao State.

Lin Xiangru was originally a junior doctor, but now he skipped the junior doctor and was promoted to a senior doctor. This is actually quite rare.

Since the throne of his father ascended the throne for more than 20 years, such a promotion of ranks is extremely rare.

In Zhao State, it is difficult to become a title.

The confidant who had been following the master's father for many years as loyal as Xinqi, now he is just a senior doctor with the same title as Lin Xiangru.

Xin Qi and Lin Xiangru are completely two generations in terms of age.

The ministers of Zhao State looked at Lin Xiangru with a very complicated look.

Lin Xiangru was promoted to a position that was only a short distance away from these important officials of Zhao State, which was really jealous.

The master's father continued: "Su Dai, deputy envoy, assisted Lin Xiangru on the mission and was promoted to the senior high school doctor!"

Su Dai was also very happy and stepped forward to thank him.

After the reward was completed, the master father glanced at Zhao He and said, "Wanger, what are you planning for the next thing?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "Although the Heshi Bi has returned, it is imperative to jointly attack Qi by Qin and Zhao, so he believes that Zhao will eventually have a good talk with Qin."

The slap of the King of Qin in the face, but if Zhao wants to become stronger, the five countries’ attacks on Qi must continue to be promoted, and cooperation between Zhao and Qin cannot be interrupted.

The Lord Father pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's true. Then, let's have an alliance with Qin?"

Zhao He nodded and said, "That's right. But this time, I hope the Lord's father can let my son go alone."

The Lord Father was a little confused and said, "Why?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "I was worried that the master's father would show his domineering spirit, but instead scared the King of Qin and asked him to regard Da Zhao as a life-and-death enemy."

The Lord's father was stunned at first, then laughed loudly, shaking the palace.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the widowed father will sit in Handan, so as not to let the King of Qi do anything quietly!"

Zhao He said seriously: "The master's move is the most secure, but he is really wise."

The master father waved his hand and said, "Young and widowed father have this trick. By the way, where are you planning to join the King of Qin?"

The location of the alliance is actually very particular.

Zhao He blinked and gave an answer that had been thinking about in his mind for a long time.

Zhao He said: "This time, I plan to join the King of Qin in Mianchi."

The Lord's father frowned, but immediately stretched out: "Mianchi? My wife knows that place. The place you chose is very good, so let's do it like this!"

Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the land of China, and was instantly noticed by the princes and those who care about current affairs.
