Bai Ze is a territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven and does not belong to any party, so it is mostly used as a place for princes to meet.

At this time, Cai Yan couldn't help but ask, "That...... I don't know what Your Highness means, whether you are at the invitation of my king. ”

In King Liang's national letter, he didn't say why he invited Xiao Yuan, but just invited him for a while, but after thinking about the matter of Guangling, and then going to Huan Jin, Xiao Yuan could also understand.

King Liang, this is to strengthen his confidence!

He glanced at Cai Yan and said deliberately: "Since King Liang invited him, please also ask the envoy to explain the reason." ”

Cai Yan thought for a moment and said: "My country and Qin have already reached a friendly alliance, and now, considering that the Qin State has not been established for a long time, my king specially invites Qin Jun to have a meeting with the kings, so that the world can know the name of Qin." ”

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled again, and said with a smile: "Qin Guo, you don't need to borrow any excuse, the world will admit it." ”

Then he said, "Tell the truth, messenger." ”

"This ......" I didn't expect that King Qin was so direct, and there was a lot of pressure in his words, Cai Yan was a good arguer, but at this time, there was some stagnation.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yuan said for him: "In the matter of Guangling, the King of Jin was annoyed and angry, and invited King Huan to attack Liang, and King Liang had no choice but to let the envoy enter Qin, right?" ”

"Huh." Hearing this, Cai Yan laughed dryly, and said again: "Since His Highness said such a thing, then it would be humiliating to say a lie next." It's just that I don't know if the Qin State is willing to help the Liang State, if His Royal Highness is willing to come forward to attend the meeting this time, then our country will definitely remember the kindness. ”

Now that the words have been spoken, Xiao Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "In this way, this king still needs to consider a thing or two, the envoy can go to the post house to rest first, and tomorrow, this king will give you an answer, how about it?" ”

"This, okay." Knowing that King Qin might be going to discuss with his ministers, Cai Yan could only salute and say: "Retire first and wait for the good news from His Highness." ”

After he left, the ministers in the palace immediately began to talk to each other, and people talked about it, and the scene became a little chaotic.

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, picked up the bamboo slip on Wang's case, and put it down heavily.

This action made the ministers quiet down instantly, and they hurriedly stood up on their own trains, and then, Shangguan Wenruo came out of the queue and said:

"The king, the meaning of the king of Liang, it is already obvious, the king of Jin is wooing the country of Huan, and the king of Liang wants to win over our country, forming a two-to-two situation, if the king is invited to Bai Ze, then the four kings will meet together, and the scene is probably beyond the control of now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Yes, king, if you attend the meeting, it shows that our country is standing with the Liang country, and this point, in terms of diplomatic relations, is it too hasty." ”

Another minister said: "If you don't invite to attend the meeting, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to saving the face of King Liang, and I am afraid that you will be hated by the Liang Kingdom." ”

"yes, it's a dilemma......"

Listening to what the ministers said, Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Yuzhi: "What does the prime minister think?" ”

When Liu Yuzhi heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice: "The minister feels that for Qin, whether it is Huan Jin or Liang Guo, they are all potential enemies, and the problem now is to consider the pros and cons. ”

Saying that, he said: "If my king attends the meeting, the advantage is to give Liang Guo confidence, and the disadvantage is to offend the Jin State, and Huan Guo can ignore it first." ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, and this king is worried about this." After listening to this, Xiao Yuan immediately said:

"Zhongqing can think about it, what will happen if this king rejects King Liang's invitation."

"First, there is no doubt that it will be hated by the Liang country, and after that, it will be difficult to develop diplomatic relations with the Liang country."

"The second, and most critical point, is that being pressed by Huan Jin, King Liang saw that the Qin State was indifferent, and he didn't dare to fight hard."

"This is not what this king wants to see. What this king wants to see is the Jin Liang War, and only when they fight together, Qin can take the opportunity to go east. ”

"Therefore, instead of rejecting King Liang, it is better to agree to attend the meeting, on the surface, for the alliance of Liang State, let King Liang dare to fight this battle with Jin State."

"The matter of Guangling, this king does not want to see a peaceful solution, so it is most beneficial for them to raise swords and soldiers, Yu Qin."

Xiao Yuan's meaning is very clear, he just wants to take advantage of Bai Ze's incident this time to tell King Liang, don't return to Guangling, just fight with the Jin State, and the Qin State will ally with you!

After hearing what he said, the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, and then, Shangguan Wenruo said: "The king is wise, if you talk about it, my country should indeed participate in this Bai Ze meeting. ”

"Okay." Xiao Yuan said: "Then the king, go to Bai Ze and meet the monarchs of the three kingdoms." ”

After consulting with the ministers, he decided to agree to King Liang's invitation, and the next morning, he also gave Cai Yan a satisfactory answer.

After the latter listened, it was overjoyed, I thought that I would have to spend more time today, but I didn't expect King Qin to agree so quickly, he was pleasantly surprised, and he also said goodbye to Shi Li, and hurried back to Liangguo to return to King Liang.

Things went so smoothly, Cai Yan was very happy, after he came back, he met King Liang in the palace study, and said excitedly: "King, King Qin has agreed!" ”

"Oh? The matter of Guangling, the king of Qin did not mention it? King Liang couldn't help but ask.

"I mentioned it." Cai Yan was excited: "But King Qin is willing to ally with our country, and this matter has been finalized, the king." ”

"Good!" After getting his reconfirmation, King Liang Dayue couldn't help but say: "This time, Bai Zezhi's meeting, with the presence of King Qin, no matter what he Huan Jin says, he wants to go back to Guangling!" ”

His confidence increased greatly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pointed to Cai Yan: "Go!" A large number of meticulous works were dispatched to closely probe the travel time of King Qin. ”

"Huh?" Cai Yan didn't react a little, "The king means ......"

"Assassinate him with a dead man." King Liang said directly and coldly.

"What!?" Hearing this, Cai Yan was suddenly taken aback, you know, he was just ordered to go to the Qin State, and the King of Qin agreed to attend the meeting, obviously to help his own country, why now, but he wants to assassinate the murderer!

He was a little dazed, and stammered, "Big ...... The king, but Wechen misheard......"

"Your ears, it's all right!" King Liang sneered: "King Qin is the king of a country, and if he sends a dead soldier to assassinate him, he will definitely not succeed, but the dead soldier can not stand the torture, and he is determined that he was sent by the Jin State, and the King of Jin, he is more suspicious, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Cai Yan understood that this was to assassinate the King of Qin and blame the Jin Kingdom.

Such a king, the cold sweat on his forehead has slowly flowed out unconsciously.

King Liang ignored him and continued: "In this way, King Qin will definitely be furious, and it is very likely that Qin Jin will take the lead in engaging troops, so as far as Liang Guo is concerned, hehe." ”

"Yes, yes...... Wechen understood. ”

Cai Yan bowed down and shrunk his shoulders, his head drooped slightly, and he couldn't help but swallow.
