After hearing what he said, the King of Chu chuckled lightly and said, "Is the envoy advancing by retreating?" ”

Jiang Yi said: "No, no, no, these Qin merchants are really not worth mentioning to Zaixia, but my king's side will definitely be angry, and it will be difficult to protect the Qin army and will not cross the Yangtze River." ”

"You're threatening this king?"

"Don't dare." Jiang Yi said: "I just want to remind Your Highness not to become a pawn in the hands of others." ”

Hearing this, King Chu's eyes lit up.

Jiang Yi continued: "Your Highness can know that there are three disadvantages in this matter in the Chu State. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. The King of Chu looked very interested.

Jiang Yi said: "First, this matter will definitely cause panic among other merchants, there is no doubt that the state of Chu will also be truthful because of this, so that the merchants of other countries feel that it is extremely risky to do business in the land of Chu." ”

"Second, Your Highness will also lose his trust in the world, because the nations trade with each other, and there are relevant treaties."

"Third, my king will be angry about this matter, and the anger of the Qin people will also be concentrated in the Chu State, which is what some people want to see the most."

"And these Qin merchants were arrested in the Chu State, what are the benefits for the Chu State? They can't threaten the Qin State, and they can't bring any benefits to the Chu State, what they bring can only be the impact on the Chu State. ”

"Your Highness is the King of Sainthood, a Monarch of Sainthood, how can he cause so many disadvantages because of such an unprofitable trivial matter?"

"That's why I suggested that Your Highness might as well kill them, kill them, it's simpler, isn't it?"

He said so much in one breath, pointing out that the Chu State had no interest in this matter, and the disadvantages were immediately apparent. Recommended ReadingTV//

After hearing this, the king of Chu first rolled his eyes, and then chuckled and said: "Hehe, the envoy is eloquent, what he said today, this king already knows, the court discussion will end here, and the post house will rest." ”

Jiang Yi was not in a hurry, and immediately bowed his hand: "Presumably, His Highness has already made a decision, so he will retire in the next." ”

After he left, the ministers of Chu in the palace also began to discuss, and then, someone came out and said: "The king, Qin envoy Jiang Yi, is a person who can speak well, and today he has a clever tongue, and he wants to release people from our country with a three-inch tongue." ”

"But what he says is true, isn't it?" The king of Chu asked rhetorically.

"This ......," the minister concluded.

The King of Chu smiled again and said: "Forget it, this matter, I didn't plan to do anything to these Qin merchants, Jiang Yi has a good saying, killing them is useless, imprisoning them, there is no benefit, anyway, our goal has been achieved, since the King of Qin sent an envoy, we will push the boat down the river and let it go." ”

"Well, the seized goods ......," another minister asked tentatively.

"Give them back, otherwise, they will really tell the truth and say that my Chu country is a country of robbers." The King of Chu waved his hand indifferently, and walked off the throne after speaking.

His purpose was indeed not to do this, but to show the nations his attitude towards Qin.

Jiang Yi's arrival, to put it bluntly, is just a passing scene.

The next day, the order of the king of Chu was issued, and a group of Qin merchants were also released on the spot.

The place where the Qin envoy stayed.

More than a dozen businessmen were bowing to Jiang Yi and couldn't stop thanking him.

The latter glanced at everyone and casually asked, "Where are you all from?" ”

"In the Lower Liyang people's clan, they come and go in Qin and Chu all the year round......"

"Merchants in Xiabeiling have always been law-abiding, I didn't expect the Chu State to be so rude......"

"Yes, my lord, this time thanks to you, otherwise, we don't know how long we would have been imprisoned......"

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "You are all my Qin merchants, the king will naturally not sit idly by, okay, it is not appropriate to stay in Chu for a long time now, you all return to China as soon as possible......"

At the same time, the Spirit Kingdom.

After the incident of Qin Shang, the king of Chu had already sent an envoy to the spirit, and at this time, the envoy of Chu was also lobbying in the court.

He said straight to the point: "Since the barbaric Qin plundered the Son of Heaven, the empire is in danger, the royal family is disgraced, and the ambition of the King of Qin is clearly revealed, and he has successively annexed Jinliang and other places, threatening the kingdom of Tianxia. ”

"This is a barbaric bandit, Cai Yan, the minister of Liangguo, once said that if the countries sit and watch Qin go eastward and do not think of conspiring with Qin, they will not die in Qin, but in themselves."

"Today, my king is willing to make another strategy to unite and weaken Qin, and strive to lock the barbarian Qin people in the Shanyu Pass, but I don't know if the Spirit Kingdom will support it."

As he spoke, he added: "In addition, in order to make his position clear, my king has begun to carry out a series of strikes against the Qin merchants of Chudi, showing his determination to stand against the barbarian Qin!" ”

After hearing what he said, the Spirit King looked up and smiled, and said, "Good! Since the king of Chu has such determination, how can this king not support it! The envoy can rest assured, the Lingguo side will also immediately cut off business contacts with Qin! ”

The arrival of the Chu envoy can be said to be in line with the Ling King's mind, he directly expressed his attitude, and the Chu envoy was also overjoyed, and immediately bowed over: "Your Royal Highness is wise and martial, and the countries are united, this weak Qin will be a success!" ”

As soon as the matter of Chu State's seizure of Qin Shang was resolved, Lingguo's side immediately issued an order to expel Qin Shang, directly tearing up a series of treaties signed with Qin before, and cutting off Qin Ling's commercial communication.

This is followed by Huan Guo.

The envoy of Chu was here, and he didn't bother to say much at all, only pointed out the intention, and King Huan immediately agreed, and even said with excitement on his face in the main hall of the court:

"Yes, yes! The nations are finally united! It's long overdue to implement a weak Qin strategy! Thinking of him as the King of Qin, committing rebellion, imprisoning the Son of Heaven in the palace, and even more wolf's ambition, wanting to annex the world! This time, the alliance of nations will drive him back to the mountain pass! ”

Huan Ling agreed, not to mention the Wu State, which was the first to respond to the Chu State.

For a time, Wu Chuhuan Ling, the Qin merchants of the Four Kingdoms, began to be driven out of the country one after another.

One or two, this will not do much for the Qin State, but if the four countries cut off commercial contacts at the same time, it will be a big problem.

This had a serious impact on the commerce of the Qin State, especially the blow to Shu Jin.

In the world of great disputes, it is not surprising that if a vassal state develops too strong, it will definitely be attacked by the joint attacks of other countries.

The four countries did not trade with Qin, but they could still communicate with each other, so they had little impact.

But on the Qin side, there is no doubt that a major economic pillar will be lost.

The purpose of the nations is obvious, that is, they want to attack Qin first commercially and weaken Qin's national strength.

In the palace of King Qin, Liu Yuzhi, Shangguan Wenruo and other important ministers were standing respectfully below, and Xiao Yuan was also pacing back and forth.

Of course, he was not in a good mood, and his brows were tightly knit.

After a while, he stopped and looked at Liu Yuzhi: "Queen Xuan's side, is there any movement?" ”
