Early the next morning, Gongsun Hengzi got up early, he said goodbye to Doctor Jiang, and came to the intersection outside the barracks, Tian Meng had already prepared two horses and waited at the intersection. When Hengzi saw Tian Meng, he took the initiative to greet him, and said, "General morning!"

"This time, I went out of the military camp with you alone, without any entourage, just to introduce you to the King of Qi. ”

"If you are shallow in your learning, you may have to live up to the general's expectations. ”

"Hengzi, don't worry, I believe that King Qi will have a discerning eye for gold. ”

Tian Meng whipped his horse, Tian Meng was in front, Hengzi was behind, one in front and one behind, and ran out for several miles in the blink of an eye.

All the way, Hengzi followed Tian Meng to Qidu.

Back then, the famous minister of Qi developed business, invigorated the economy, made Qi business prosperous, and made Qi rich and strong. Since then, Qidu has been lined up with commercial auxiliaries and extended in all directions. Because Qi is bordered by the East China Sea, sea fish can be seen everywhere in the city, and the price is cheap, Qi is a very prosperous capital.

The palace of Qi is located in the center of Qidu, surrounded by high walls, and there are soldiers guarding outside the palace gate.

In the main hall of the palace, King Qi was discussing the candidates for Qi with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

The last time the king of Qi competed with Meng Yanjun, in the end the king of Qi won, and the king of Qi deposed his Meng Weijun's phase, after Meng Shanjun was deposed, the phase has been vacant, and there is no suitable candidate.

"The king, according to reliable information, the king of Qin wants to invite Meng Weijun to be the prime minister. Meng Weijun has been in Qi for many years, and he knows some secrets of Qi well, if he is Qin Xiang, it will definitely be unfavorable to Qi, and it is better for the ministers to restore him, lest he be Qin Xiang. A Wenchen wearing an official hat said.

"How can this be done? I have just removed his phase, and now I have reinstated him again, and I have gone back on my word, wouldn't it give people a sneer!" "When Meng Weijun was the prime minister, the king of Qi was like a puppet, and the king of Qi spent a lot of effort to finally remove him, how could he let him rise again? The reason why the king of Qi kept the phase vacant was because he was afraid that a second Meng Weijun would appear, and he would lose his power, but this phase could not always be empty. It's not good for the king of Qi to be good, and now there is a state of Qin that wants to invite Meng Weijun as the prime minister, which makes him even more dilemma.

"Is there a way to make Meng Weijun not go to the Qin State and not restore the Qi State to the Qi State?" the King of Qi asked the ministers present again.

None of the ministers present could answer, and they all chose to remain silent.

At this moment, a chamberlain came to the palace and said, "General Tian Meng is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

When King Qi heard that Tian Meng, who had won the battle, was coming, he said happily: "Hurry up and invite General Tian Meng!"

King Qi got off the throne and came to the center of the main hall to greet Tian Meng in person.

As soon as Tian Meng saw the King of Qi, he knelt down on one leg and bowed: "Chen Tian Meng pays a visit to the King of Qi." ”

"General Tian is not polite, please get up quickly. ”

"King Xie!" Tian Meng stood up.

"This time, the general led our Qi army to break the Yan army, annihilated the Yan army in Beishan in one fell swoop, greatly increased the ambition of our army, and destroyed the prestige of the Yan army. This is the biggest victory that our Qi army has won against Yan in recent years. After this battle of Beishan, the Yan country was greatly damaged, and presumably, the Yan army did not dare to attack in the future. The widow was about to send you over and hold a celebration banquet for you, but I didn't expect you to come, haha......" King Qi's face was full of smiles.

"My lord, the minister is ashamed. This expedition was victorious and successful, which was not the credit of the minister at all, but the minister got the guidance of a master to win the war. ”

"Oh, the master instructs, where is the master, and the widow wants to see it. ”

"This is what the minister has come for, and he is waiting outside the palace for the king's reception. ”

"Okay, good, good, please!"

Tian Meng shouted outside the hall: "There is a grandson Hengzi." ”

Gongsun Hengzi slowly walked into the palace of King Qi.

When Hengzi saw King Qi, he immediately knelt down on one leg and bowed his hand: "Hengzi, the grandson of the grass people, greets the king!"

King Qi saw that this master was very young, but his appearance was extraordinary, so he said, "Sir, please get up quickly." ”

"King Sheqi. ”

"I heard General Tian say just now, this time our Qi army can break the Yan army, all thanks to Mr.'s guidance, presumably Mr. must have something extraordinary, is a rare talent. King Qi said.

"The king has already said that the grass people just read some art of war when they were children, and they devised a strategy, but it didn't work. ”

"Sir is humble. King Qi said, "Mr. came just in time, I am discussing a matter, and the widow is worried about this matter, and I can't pay attention to it for a while, and I want to hear Mr.'s opinion." "King Qi wanted to inspect Hengzi's talent on the spot.

"I heard it in detail. ”

"Presumably Mr. has also heard that there is only Meng Weijun in the Qi Kingdom, and there is no rumor of the King of Qi. ”

Yes, this has long been circulated in all the nations. ”

"Meng Weijun has controlled the government for many years, and the widow is nothing, this rumor is not untrue. The widow was very reluctant to lose power, so the widow forcibly removed Meng Weijun from the throne and took back the power, which almost caused turmoil in the court. However, now the Qin State has invited Meng Weijun to Qin as the phase, such as Meng Weijun to Qin for the phase, it is indeed unfavorable to align, and now someone proposes to restore his phase, but the widow has just removed him, and now he is restored, which does make the widow embarrassed, and I am willing to listen to Mr. ”

"What is the reason for the king to remove Meng Weijun's phase?"

"It's because Meng Weijun has too much power and doesn't take the widow in his eyes. ”

"Now that the king has lifted Meng Yanjun's phase, doesn't Meng Yanjun still take the king in his eyes?"

Of course not, this time, he knew that the widow was powerful. ”

"Is it up to the king to decide everything now?"

"Of course. ”

"Well, if the king now limits the power of the phase to a controllable range, or even makes the phase virtual, the king's power will not be lost again. Hengzi said, "Now if Meng Shanjun is temporarily restored, he can avoid Meng Shanjun and go to Qin, so that although Meng Shanjun is in the second phase, there is no real power, and the power is all in the hands of the king, so only the king has the right to despise Meng Shanjun, but Meng Shanjun has no right to despise the king." It's not a win-win

"Okay, well, when I heard Mr. 's words, I suddenly realized that I was suddenly enlightened. My courtiers only know that I will be reinstated in his phase, but they do not know the limitation of his phase, they only know one of them, but they do not know the other, and the high opinion of the gentleman is deeply convinced. ”

"The king, now that my Qi country is employing people, the minister thinks that this Hengzi is a talent, and he doesn't dare to use it privately, so he will sacrifice him to the king. Tian Meng said.

"Good, good, good, it's rare for General Tian to be so loyal to the widow. King Qi said, "With Mr.'s knowledge, he is indeed a rare talent, is he a soldier who has just joined our army, or does he already have an official position in your barracks?"

"He is a friend of the minister who saved him by the sea, not a man in our army. ”

"No wonder Mr. has always called himself a grass man, could it be that Mr. is from the fairy island on the sea?"

"From the island. As soon as Hengzi heard this, this Qi country really believed that the sea immortals were in the wind, and even the king of Qi said something similar to Tian Meng.

After hearing this, King Qi had a strange expression and asked, "Mr. is from Zongheng Island?"

"It's not a native of Zongheng Island, just a tourist who went to Zongheng Island, but when he returned to the mainland, he unfortunately encountered a storm and fell into the water and was rescued by General Meng. ”

King Qi nodded at this time, and said: "The hero doesn't ask the source, whether Mr. is from Zonghengdao or not, this is not very important, I wonder if Mr. is willing to be an official in my Qi country?"

"May I help the king. Hengzi said without thinking.

"Okay, there is another capable person in my dynasty to help the widow, and the widow temporarily appoints you as a guest secretary to participate in the major state of Qi. ”

"King Xie!" Hengzi quickly accepted the title of King Qi.

"Okay, Mr. Heng, please follow your instructions and give the widow a copy of the phase control book. King Qi said, "If there is no other disagreement, after your phase control book is sorted out, you will return to the phase of Meng Weijun." ”

"Honor! ”

"General Tian, since you are here, you will temporarily pass the celebration banquet and return to the military palace. ”

"Yes, King. Tian Meng said.
