Time flies.

Gengzi year, the second year of Qin Wangzheng, spring, Linzi.

Chen Chi, the envoy of the Qin State, has been staying in the capital of the Qi State.

Now, the Huaibei territory of Chunshenjun began to move the fiefdom, and the plan to merge has been delayed, if you mention the merger again, you will have to wait until after the relocation of Chunshenjun's fief.

Chen Chiji said: "Congratulations to Marquis Wu, the strategy of dividing the north and the south has become a fixed number, if the king knows, he will be overjoyed, I don't know when the Marquis Wuhou will return to Qin, the king and the queen mother are chattering." ”

Su Zai stood up and looked at the scenery outside that was already early spring.

said: "If you want to leave, it's not good to leave." ”

Now, Mei Changsu is the secretary of the Qi State, and he will sacrifice wine in the Jixia School Palace, once the cholera Qi State is spread because of the change of identity, it will be unfavorable to the Qin State, and it will make people revisit the matter of the queen.

Once it is used, it may be forced to join the Qi country.

Chen Chi asked: "Could it be that Wuhou has a plan to get out!" ”

Su Zai smiled and said: "After the victory, if you don't cultivate the preparation for the attack, you won't help the five countries attack Qin, and Qin will destroy the five countries!" With such a great achievement, can An not be rewarded? ”

Chen Chi was originally a smart person, and suddenly thought of Su Zheng's meaning, Su Zheng explained it, and met with Chen Chi.

Su Zai said: "Tomorrow, you can do it like this." ”

Chen Chi once again bowed his head and said: "The next official receives the order!" ”

After Chen Chi left, Mi Xin knocked on the door and entered.

Su Zai greeted him, took Mi Xin's hand and said, "Madam, sit down!" ”

Mi Xin said with a smile: "Husband, why are you so happy. ”

Su Zheng looked at Mi Xin and said: "We are going back to Xianyang, don't forget, you promised me to follow me back to Qin, Qi State affairs, Benhou naturally can't stay for a long time, and, counting the time, the Mo family pragmatic faction has already entered Qin, when you are in Qin, you can also help me to manage them, if they really have achievements, Benhou will be reused." ”

Mi Xin's face was red, and he looked at Su Zheng's eyes, and then he bowed slightly.

Qi Xin said: "The Mo family entered Qin, but they brought you a treasure, and when the time comes, you will know when you go to see it!" ”

"Oh? Baby, what baby. ”

Qi Xin said with a smile: "It's a crossbow machine just developed by the Mo family, which can take three hundred steps!" ”

Su Zheng was immediately overjoyed and said, "Three hundred steps? Seriously? ”

You must know that the crossbow machine of the nations is only one hundred and fifty steps, and the crossbow machine of three hundred steps is already too powerful.

Su Zheng remembered that in later generations, a kind of crossbow machine unearthed by the Terracotta Warriors and Horses was rumored to have 300 steps, but it was lost, especially the crossbow blade, which was too incredible.

The pistols of later generations had a conventional range of only 100 meters and an effective range of 50 meters, while this crossbow machine was about three times that of the former.

Qi Xin turned his head and asked, "This time back to Qin, will you take Chan'er?" ”

Previously, the misunderstanding between Su Zai and Yu Chan'er had been secretly explained by Su Zai, but such a shameful thing about her daughter's family, Mi Xin did not mention it to Yu Chan'er.

Su Zai shook his head and said: "This time I will return to Qin, I don't know how many years, I will not come to Qi country, Chan'er may forget it in a few years, just as she said, forget about it in the rivers and lakes." ”

Mi Xin: "......"

……

The Great Hall of King Qi.

Chen Chi said: "Foreign Minister Chen Chi, see King Qi!" ”

Tian Jian raised his hand and said: "The special envoy is exempt, the special envoy is here today, what is the matter." ”

Chen Chi said with a smile: "King Qi, the foreign ministers came today, first, to resign, and secondly, the king of my Qin State sent someone to send a letter of state, and asked the king to pay homage. ”

Now, two months have passed between the king's death and the beginning of spring.

The King of Qin sent someone to deliver a letter of state in the middle of two months, which surprised the courtiers of Qi.

King Qi opened it and looked at it, his eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly.

King Qi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Qin calls my two countries a brotherly state, and now, my two countries will always repair the state, and I specially invite the widow to enter Qin, in order to fulfill the brotherhood, what do you think." ”

King Qi saw that the King of Qin used words in the letter to be humble and in a very good mood.

Moreover, I heard that the Yan State in the north, resisting Rao'an's army, was also divided into a large wave to resist the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, which undoubtedly made the Qi State breathe a big sigh of relief.

Not only that, in Dongyang on Gao Tang's side, the entire Qin State has evacuated the army, so that Gao Tang has no pressure at all.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for the Qi State to occupy Dongyang, which is the faith of the Qin State.

It is a situation in the dark, which is much better than in the period of the queen.

It is also the king of Qin, who is true to his word.

However, as soon as Qi Wang Tianjian's words came out.

The courtiers were shocked, although the Qin State is now abiding by the faith, but Tian Jian is the monarch of a country, once there is a slight accident, then the Qi State will be finished.

One by one, they advised that they could not go to the Qin State.

Tian Jian was stunned and said, "King Qin is the king of benevolence and righteousness, how can he deceive the widow!" ”

The courtier said: "King, can An forget how King Chu Huai died?" The body of the king of ten thousand gold, how can he enter Qin. ”

King Huai of Chu was also invited by King Qin to join Qin, and then he was placed under house arrest for three years, until the state of Chu established himself as king, King Huai died of grief and anger, shouting that the Qin people deceived me and the Chu people betrayed me.

"King, once the Qin State has the slightest evil heart, the king will be in danger, please think twice."

Tian Jian looked at Chen Chi, his face became extremely ugly, this is a loss of his face in the Qi country, if the king of Qin wants to have a bad heart, why should he issue a letter of state, and repair the good of the two states.

Tian Jian angrily slapped the case a few times: "The widow has to go." ”

The old ministers wept bitterly one by one: "If the king wants to go, the old minister will die in this palace." ”

Yongmen Sima suddenly stepped forward and said, "King, the minister has something to ask. ”

Tian Jian looked at the courtiers, brushed his sleeves and said, "It's not a shame, you, Yongmen Sima, what do you have to say." ”

Yongmen Sima said: "We are waiting to support the monarch, is it for the Qi country or for the monarch you?" ”

This is already unceremonious.

But Yongmen Sima is an old minister, Tian Jian naturally did not dare to accuse, and said: "Naturally, it is for the country." ”

Yongmen Sima continued: "Since the monarch was appointed for the sake of the country, why did the monarch leave his country behind and worship the King of Qin? ”

"This!?"

Yongmen Sima's words were very polite, but Tian Jian had nothing to say.

Tian Jian looked at Hou Sheng, desperately making his eyes!

Hou Sheng finally stood up and said: "However, according to the rules of diplomatic relations between the countries, when you are a superior letter, exchange envoys, and sign an alliance, the Qin State has already believed in the matter, if my Qi State does not send an envoy to the Qin State, wouldn't it be perfunctory?" Then how can I make the Qin State believe in the sincerity of my Qi State. ”

When Tian Jian heard this, he said: "It's still Xiangbang Mingming, I, Qin and Qi are big countries in the east and west, how can they be compared to other countries!" ”

Lu Lianzhong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "The king, the minister also thinks that Xiangbang's words are reasonable, but the diplomatic relations between the two countries should not be sent by the king himself. ”

"What the Great Priest said is extremely true!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Qi Guozai can't stand the toss.

Tian Jian looked at Hou Sheng and sighed, and then said to Chen Chi: "Special envoy, it's not that the widow is unwilling to go, it's just that this, the queen mother is newly mourned, and the widow still has to preside over the government. ”

Chen Chi was puzzled: "This? ”

This is the King of Qin inviting the King of Qi, and the King of Qi is not going, how can it be good, and he suddenly showed embarrassment.

Hou Sheng continued: "Messenger, the king of Qin received the king, and the king was unable to go because of filial piety, the lenient king of Qin will definitely not blame, please forgive the envoy." ”

Chen Chi said: "Okay, King of Qi Renxiao, the foreign minister must tell the King of Qin about the embarrassment of the King of Qi, but the diplomatic relations between the two countries is a major matter, and the King of Qi can send credible ministers and ministers to enter Qin together, and he will return within three months." ”

Tian Jian suddenly said: "Yes, don't mess up the national politics because of the affairs of the widow, everyone, who is willing to enter Qin to make this diplomatic relationship for my two countries?" ”

Diplomatic matters are the duties of the chief minister.

Lu Lianzhong was about to speak, but was stopped by Hou Sheng, Hou Sheng said: "King, now it is the King of Qin invited as the king of a country, the identity of the envoy sent by nature is not important, although the big secretary is suitable, but after all, the age is here, the road to the west is bumpy, when the body of the big secretary is the most important, the choice of the messenger, the prime minister thinks, should choose another person." ”

When Lu Lianzhong heard this, he glanced at Hou Sheng, and did not refute.

Hou Sheng is telling the truth.

But according to reason, the big boss is the most suitable candidate.

Tian Jian listened and said: "Xiangbang's words are extremely good, so with Xiangbang's meaning, who can go?" ”

Hou Sheng said: "The minister is not talented, I am willing to go to the Qin State for the king and meet the king of Qin!" ”

Xiangbang Commander-in-Chief of the Five Divisions and Five Capitals, in terms of identity, is higher than the Great Si Xing, the Great Sima, the Great Si Tian, the Great Secretary and the Great Counselor, the King of Qin invited, in addition to the King of Qi, the most suitable is naturally Hou Sheng.

When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised.

Tian Jian was overjoyed and said: "I can't imagine that Xiangbang still has such courage and mind, indeed, the widow also thinks that Xiangbang is the most suitable, what do you think?" ”

The courtiers looked at each other, and had to say: "Xiangbang Gaoyi!" ”

Hou Sheng continued: "The king, the minister still has one more thing to ask for, this time the westward journey into Qin, the minister is afraid that he will be alone...... Dare to admonish the king, the minister wants to let Shangqing be the deputy envoy, and go with the minister, after all, Shangqing is my Qi Guoji under the school palace sacrificial wine, famous all over the world, if the king of Qin asks, the talent of the Shangqing, will not weaken the good learning style of my Qi country, and please allow the king. ”

Seeing Hou Sheng say this, the courtiers also nodded.

Originally, the messenger was divided into positive and deputy, and it was such a big deal!

Tian Jian nodded and said: "The widow also has this intention, I don't know if Shangqing is willing to enter Qin?" ”

Su Zai took a step out and said: "If the minister is willing to go, he will also live up to the king's trust!" ”

Tian Jian saw that the matter had been decided, so he said to Chen Chi: "Does the envoy think that the widow can do this?"

Chen Chi said: "There are two people, Xiangbang and Shangqing, naturally you can, thank you King Qi!" ”

Xianyang Ganquan Palace.

Zhao Ji stroked her hand lightly and slowly pressed on the strings, and the sound of the piano was like a pouring stream, beautiful and charming.

Suddenly, a voice came: "Queen Mother! I'm playing the piano again! ”

Zhao Ji's eyes were watery, and her face was red.

Hearing the sound and looking at it, he suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
