192. Chapter 192 Top lobbying strategy

After Su Qin quickly figured out the steps to lobby Zhao Hou, he asked about Meng Ting's dinner the next day.

Meng Ting told Su Qin that there is a large hall in the center of Taohua Garden, where future banquets will be arranged.

Su Qin then asked Meng Ting to carefully arrange the room and arrange the people whom Zhao Hou accompanied him to another place, leaving only the Meng family's confidants present and reserved a seat for him.

Su Qin was afraid that he would make mistakes and checked the details with Meng Ting again, and then he felt a little relieved.

When I arrived at Zhaohou, I came to Taohua Garden for a tour, from the afternoon, I didn’t accept the guests. The garden was decorated with lights and colorful ribbons everywhere, which was a joyful scene.

In the evening, Mr. Zhao and his beloved concubine Meng Juan came to the garden in the chariot of the king.

The old people of the Meng family greeted him at the door. Mr. Zhao got off the chariot and the crowd knelt down on the ground. Mr. Zhao exchanged a few words of greetings with everyone, and then under the guidance of the Meng sisters, he went to the place to watch the singing and dancing.

Along the way, he saw the lights and decorations in the peach garden, and was in a very happy mood.

After Zhao Hou entered the house and sat down, the maids served wine and food, the kabuki arranged in formation, and the dinner and chanting performance officially began.

Most of the Meng sisters arranged for Zhao Hou’s martial arts, with gongs and drums and gongs and drums, and the rhythm was bright and lively. Zhao Hou looked very excited when he watched the singing and dancing scenes, and drank many glasses of wine.

Mr. Zhao accidentally saw an empty seat beside him. He was very curious and asked the Meng sisters why did they prepare?

Meng Ting replied: "A mysterious guest, a contemporary talent, is coming here, you will know in a while."

When Zhao Hou heard this, he said "Huh" and couldn't help but feel a little expectant, thinking: "Who is the person coming? Why is he so handsome that he is even late for the king's banquet?"

Mr. Zhao was in mind, watching the song and dance while waiting to see the person.

It was not until five songs were performed that Su Qin appeared at the door of the room.

When the Meng sisters saw Su Qin appear, they quickly stood up to greet him, and seemed to attach great importance to Su Qin.

Under the guidance of the two of them, Su Qin came to his seat. After he sat steadily, he bowed to Zhao Hou beside him and bowed.

The Meng sisters quickly introduced Su Qin to Zhao Hou. Meng Ting said: "This is Mr. Su Qin, a disciple of Mr. Guigu. He has known me for many years, is extremely talented, and has versatile literary and martial arts."

She said with luck: "This time he came to Handan and happened to meet me. I just wanted to recommend it to you, and it might be beneficial to Zhao State."

Mr. Zhao had heard of Su Qin's name for a long time, and people had mixed reviews and criticisms for him. Mr. Zhao of course also hoped to recruit more talents, but he never thought of inviting him to Zhao as a guest.

Today, Su Qin and he happened to meet at the same banquet. Of course, he still had to show respect for talents. So, Mr. Zhao nodded to Su Qin as a courtesy.

At this time, when the sixth song and dance reached its climax, the men and women's maki shuttled and jumped back and forth on the stage, which was very beautiful. Zhao Hou sighed: "It's such a musical and singing, and it's a grand occasion!"

Su Qin glanced at Mr. Zhao and said aloud in a lukewarm voice: "In my opinion, if the lord does not make the decision to establish a crown prince as soon as possible, the scene of singing and dancing and peace will be a flash in the pan and the good times will not last long."

When Zhao Hou heard Su Qin speak, he thought he was echoing his words and praising the live performance, but unexpectedly he heard very harsh words.

He stared at Su Qin blankly, even thinking that his ears were wrong.

Mr. Zhao wanted to ask for a certificate, so he asked: "Mr. Su came from afar and must have given me some advice. Why do you say that the good times don't last long when you see this lively scene?"

Su Qin replied: "I came to this city of Handan. I heard that the king and the prince have not yet established a crown prince, and there are many people who covet the throne, so I worry about you."

"The king did not see that Duke Huan of Qi was constantly hesitating and remorseful when he was appointed as the crown prince. Once Yan Zheng took the throne, his five sons took the throne and took turns to compete for the throne. In the end, no one took the corpse, and maggots were everywhere, and Qi was in a slump."

"A generation of overlords is like this, and others can even imagine it."

When Zhao Hou Zhao Yu didn't listen, he was shocked to sit there. At this time, the song and dance were just over. Su Qin quickly winked at the Meng sisters, and the Meng sisters slowly persuaded the people in the hall.

Only Zhao Hou and Su Qin were left in the hall. Zhao Hou asked again: "In this way, Mr. Su believes that I should establish a crown prince as soon as possible to avoid disputes after death and disrupt the order of Zhao State?"

Su Qin nodded solemnly and said, "That's true, not only should we establish a crown prince, but also to establish a quick start. The earlier it is, the more suddenly it is, the more ambitions make those ambitious people desperately give up the plan of fighting."

He said firmly: "This is the so-called unexpected victory!"

After thinking about it, Zhao Hou suddenly realized the importance of becoming a crown prince as soon as possible. At this moment, his body felt increasingly weak. Maybe one day he would leave. He should hurry up!

Mr. Zhao began to look at Su Qin with admiration, and was grateful to Su Qin from the bottom of his heart, reminding himself of the important national policy of establishing a crown prince.

Zhao Hou said: "Thank you Mr. Su for your advice. I understand the urgency and importance of becoming a crown prince. But I haven't considered it well and it's difficult to make a decision for a while."

Su Qin knew what Zhao Hou was hesitating about, but he wanted to guide Zhao Hou to say it himself.

So he asked, "I don't know what the difficulty Junhou feels. Maybe I can give some small suggestions. Of course, whether to listen or not, it depends on Junhou's own decision."

Mr. Zhao was about to hear Su Qin's opinion, and he said bluntly:

"When my father was alive, he especially liked my younger brother, Zhao Yun, the king of Xuanyang, and repeatedly had the idea of ​​passing the throne to him, but in the end he passed the throne to me for the sake of the country."

Zhao Hou said helplessly: "When my father was dying, he held my hand hard and stared at Xuanyang Jun, but he still had concerns. When I remembered it late at night, I burst into tears every time."

He sighed: "Why do I love the throne? I can only feel at ease by passing the throne to Xuanyang."

When Su Qin heard that Zhao Hou finally revealed his thoughts, he knew that the turning point of things had come.

He said: "I heard that Zhao State produces a precious dagger called Mrs. Xu's sword. However, there is a dagger that is not inferior to it in the world, and it is even more famous. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

When Zhao Hou heard that Su Qin did not directly answer his questions, he talked about the sword and was a little surprised.

He thought about Su Qin's question and replied tentatively: "If I'm not mistaken, the sir should be referring to the Yuyan Sword of Wu. It's a famous treasure."
