Chapter 55
(Third update, thank you for your recommendation votes)
Looking at the panic-looking prince Zhao Jia, Jiang Xu couldn't help feeling a little sad for Zhao State.
In fact, in Jiang Qi's opinion, both Zhao Jia and Zhao Qian are the same as each other. The reason why more court officials choose to support Zhao Qian is because Zhao Qian is young and has better control.
Just like in the Nine Songs of Heaven, Ji Wuye and the Marquis of Bloody clothes spared no effort to support the prince, but it was only because the prince was weak and incompetent, and it was easier for them to control it.
Even the Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi chose to support the fourth son Han Yu to fight against Ji Wuye because the reforms Han Fei wanted to implement hurt his interests.
Looking at the history of China's feudal era, there are only a thousand-year-old family, but no thousand-year-old dynasty.
Take Li Mu's family as an example. Although Li Mu was finally killed by King Zhao in history, Li Mu's family, Zhaojun Li, has been prosperous for about two thousand years.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that there were five surnames and seven hopes.
The Li clan is divided into two branches, one is the Li clan of Zhaojun and the other is the Li clan of Longxi. Although the two branches are divided, they all have common ancestors.
The Li family in Longxi was Li Shimin's family, which later created the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Since Li Mu is a general of Zhao State, why didn’t Li Mu’s descendants come to Zhao State to become an official?
That's because Li Mu is already there in Zhao State, so there is no need to send someone to Zhao State to become an official without such an effort.
Because among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu are now the most powerful, while Zhao is in turmoil.
Li Mu's father Li Ji once served as the Grand Tutor in Qin State...
Jiang Yu didn't know much about these things in his previous life, but after coming to this era, he could also make a little guess based on some information.
Aristocrats!
In fact, among the gentry, there is not a lack of talents who worry about the country and the people. In history, many people have jumped out of the family cage and worked for the country and the people all their lives.
But more people are still limited by the word "family".
For these people, it doesn’t matter whether a country’s monarch has talent or not, but it must support the interests of their families.
Because a dynasty falls, a new dynasty will be established.
And the new dynasty will still appoint them as officials.
Although Li Mu was loyal to Zhao State, his family may not be.
What's ridiculous is that although Jiang Yu knew the harm of these people, his actions were no different from them.
Because Jiang Xi is not the king of Zhao State.
Different positions will vary in the way of thinking and doing things.
After shook his head and putting these things down for the time being, Jiang Yu looked at Zhao Jia and smiled faintly: "Actually, there is no way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to break the deadlock."
"Oh? Please teach me by Marquis Jiang." Zhao Jia said quickly.
"Now the five countries have completed their alliance. Next year's battle to attack Qin is your chance." Jiang Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince only needs to go to war with the army in the name of the army supervisor, or supervise food and grass in the rear. As long as the army wins, your highness has military merits to protect you, why should you be afraid of a young prince?"
Zhao Jia's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, Jia knows what to do!"
"Your Highness, to be honest, you have heard of what you do on weekdays. In fact, the king has long been displeased." Jiang Xu persuaded: "If you like it, why should you be anxious for a while? Just endure it for a few years. After you ascend the throne, what you want to do is not your intention?"
"What Jiang Hou said is that Jia actually felt a little regretful in the past few days." Zhao Jia said with an embarrassment.
"No matter what, I am also a disciple of the General. Your Highness remembers this." Jiang Yu smiled and said ambiguously.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. When Jia ascended the throne in the future, he will remember Mr. Jiang's grace today." Zhao Jia said gratefully.
"This matter comes from my mouth and comes from your ears. As for how to do it, it depends on your methods." Jiang Xu said in a low voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for farewell."
"I'll give it to Your Highness!"
After seeing off Prince Zhao Jia, Jiang Yu came to the study, spread a roll of blank bamboo slips on the table, and picked up a pen to write on the bamboo slips.
Since the prostitute could not wait to get rid of Zhao Jia, Jiang Xi would give her this opportunity.
The road ahead has been paved. As for how to arrange it later, it depends on Chunpingjun's ability.
Zhao Jia was born into a royal family and was used to enjoying it on weekdays, so Zhao Jia would definitely choose the latter of the two strategies of "inspection of military affairs" and "supervising food and grass" proposed by Jiang Yu.
And this way, there is a lot of room to operate.
For example... the grain channel was leaked, and the food was robbed by the Qin army; or secretly sold military rations to make huge profits; and disagree with the generals of the front army, seizing military rations, etc.
As long as the attack on Qin fails and Zhao Jia is pushed out to take the abyss pot, his position as crown prince will never be saved.
In this matter, Jiang Yu was only responsible for giving advice and informing Zheng Ji about his plan.
As for how to do it?
As long as the prostitute informs Chunpingjun about this matter, or contacts his favorite minister Guo Kai, the matter will be easy.
After Zhao Jia was brought down, what I had to plan next was how to push Zhao Qian to the throne of prince.
And this matter doesn't require Jiang Yu to work hard.
Jiang Yu had military power in hand, and he only needed to protect the palace city when Zhao Qian ascended the throne and prevent chaos in the palace.
Write down the plan, then put it in a bamboo tube, and seal it with wax oil.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan shouted: "Xuan Jian!"
‘Swish!’
The candlelight in the room swayed, and in the light and dark light, Xuan Jian was already standing in front of Jiang Yu.
"Tell this letter to Chang Ji and tell her that I have prepared the first half of the game for her. As for how to design the second half of the game, it depends on Chunpingjun's method." Jiang Yu whispered: "When Chang Ji read the letter, you stared at me and let her burn it immediately after reading it."
"yes!"
"Ji Chang is really anxious. Forget it, just advance in advance. It's not a big deal anyway." Jiang Xi chuckled, and then didn't take this matter to heart.
"By the way, Xuan Jian."
Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something and added: "After entering the palace, you will meet Xiaocao privately. After the boss gains power, let her make friends with the eunuchs quickly. When our spies are trained next year, we will rely on her to arrange for the palace to enter."
"Yes!" Xuan Jian replied.
"Mr. Marquis, there is something..."
Before Xuan Jian finished speaking, Jiang Qi interrupted and said, "Tell me!"
"If the marquis sincerely helps the prince, I believe the prince is grateful and will repay the marquis if he succeeds to the throne of Queen Zhao in the future?" Xuan Jian asked in confusion.
"You underestimate the king's mind too much. Don't look at him not being so good now. If he ascended the throne, he will naturally understand the way of balance." Jiang Yu smiled disdainfully and explained: "What's more, he asked me for help today. When he becomes King Zhao in the future, he will think about what happened tonight. Do you think he will be grateful? Or will he be ashamed?"
"Xuan Jian understands." Xuan Jian nodded.
"Go and do business!"
"yes!"
After stretching, Jiang Yu ordered the maids to prepare hot water.
