Liao Shan and Hou Sheng agreed on the Hou Sheng Mansion, and Liao Shan went to the protocol post officer of Qi State to rest.

And Hou Sheng used the excuse of keeping a wake for the queen and went to the palace late at night to meet Qi Wangjian.

Since King Qi ascended the throne, the queen has personally presided over the affairs of the court, and he rarely asks about it.

Now that the queen is gone, Qi Wangjian suddenly feels that the sky is about to fall. Coupled with the pressure of the Yan army outside Linzi City, Linzi City is not in danger. In the face of this internal and external pressure, Qi Wangjian himself felt that he was about to "collapse".

Qi Wangjian himself didn't know how to deal with the situation at this time.

On the grounds of guarding the spirit, he entrusted all the affairs of the court to the court ministers to discuss and handle.

And he is in the harem every day, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

Every time after drinking, Qi Wangjian went to the queen's coffin and cried to his mother.

Vent your depressed and depressed feelings.

In his own dormitory, Qi Wangjian received a report from the palace attendants.

After learning that his uncle was victorious, he wanted to come to meet him.

"So late at night, my uncle came to see the widow?" Qi Wang Jian asked the attendant order.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Hou Sheng said that he had something important and wanted to discuss with the king. The waiter bowed.

"What's important to my uncle? The widow is not an edict not to let people ...... his uncle again."

Qi Wangjian thought for a moment, and ordered the waiter: "Let my uncle come in and meet the widow!" ”

"No."

The attendant ordered Hou Sheng to be brought into the dormitory built by King Qi.

Hou Sheng took a look at the order of the waiter who had a good relationship with him.

The waiter Ling naturally understood what Hou Sheng meant, glanced at Qi Wangjian, and saw Qi Wangjian nodding to himself.

With a gesture of his hand, the attendant ordered himself and the attendants and palace maids who were waiting for Qi Wangjian to retreat.

Hou Sheng came to Qi Wangjian's face, knelt on the ground, and cried to Qi Wangjian:

"Your Majesty, now that the Queen Mother is gone, my king must take care of his body! The minister knows that he can't live with the queen mother and the king, and he has no other thoughts in this life, but hopes that my king will be well. ”

Seeing that his uncle cared about him so much, Qi Wangjian's heart warmed and he smiled bitterly and said:

"Uncle, it doesn't have to be like this. As soon as the queen mother is gone, there are few relatives of the widow. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped Hou Sheng up.

Hou Sheng looked at the nephew Qi Wangjian, who was originally chubby, his cheeks became thin at this time, and his heart was also sour.

With tears in his eyes, he said: "Your Majesty, you can't be so sad every day......"

Qi Wangjian shook his head and said to Hou Sheng: "Uncle, sit down, now that the queen mother has gone, there is a big attack by the Yan army outside Linzi City." Widow ...... The widow is also just a joy in suffering, and on such a day, the widow is afraid that the widow will ...... I'm afraid it's not going to be a few days......"

Hou Sheng saw Qi Wangjian's sincere expression, his heart trembled, tears burst out of his eyes, and Qi Wang Jian choked and said:

"Your Majesty, don't be so decadent, the days to come will be long!"

Qi Wangjian was stunned for a moment, and asked Hou Sheng:

"What did my uncle say? Now the situation that my Qi country is facing, don't you know it, uncle? ”

Hou Sheng looked at Qi Wang Jian's expression again and found that there was no falsification in the slightest.

Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward to Qi Wang Jiandao:

"Your Majesty, may I ask the king, does the king have any thoughts of seizing the world?"

After Qi Wangjian listened to Hou Sheng's words, he hurriedly waved his fat right hand and said to Hou Sheng:

"Uncle, where does the widow have any idea of seizing the world? I haven't even thought about it! The widow just wants to maintain the foundation of his ancestors and live his life in peace. I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect Yan Wangkang to send a large army to attack my Qi country and want to kill the widow......"

When Qi Wangjian said this, he felt very aggrieved, and fell on the table and cried.

Seeing this, Hou Sheng knew that the opportunity had come.

stepped forward and bowed to Wang Jiandao: "Your Majesty, if my king thinks so, then the minister will speak out." Today is a world of great strife, countries are merging, and the unification of the world is coming. ”

"Now, most of the land of my Qi country has fallen into the hands of the Yan country. This time, the Yan army will definitely not besiege the two cities of Jimo and Jucheng again as it did more than 20 years ago, and will not attack for several years. Today, the Eastern Capital has been broken, which is the proof. ”

"The king wants to maintain the foundation of his ancestors, but now this situation is no longer possible. Then the minister boldly asked my king, and my king himself said that he had no idea of seizing the world at all. I just want the king and his descendants to be safe, and the ancestors and ancestors continue to sacrifice, yes or no? ”

After Qi Wangjian listened to Hou Sheng's words, he said to Hou Sheng:

"Uncle, the widow is just like what my uncle just said, I just want the widow and the descendants to be safe, and the ancestors and ancestors continue to sacrifice. I really don't have the idea of taking over the world! ”

Seeing this, Hou Sheng knew that the matter discussed with Liao Shan and the others could be done.

Qi Wang Jian continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is thinking, now that Zhou Tianzi is dead, but this world will always be reunified. At present, the princes are divided, and the time will not be too long. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Sheng paused and paused.

looked at Qi Wangjian and found that Qi Wangjian had stopped crying and was listening carefully.

stepped forward and whispered to Wang Jiandao:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since my Qi country can no longer be protected, my king has no ambition to unify the world. In this case, why don't our king return to King Kang of Yan, so as to keep my king and his descendants safe, and the ancestors and ancestors will continue to sacrifice? ”

When Qi Wangjian heard this, his heart was moved, and he said to Hou Sheng:

"Uncle, can this Yan Wang Kang unify the world?"

Hou Sheng laughed and said to Wang Jiandao:

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, among the princes of the Central Plains today, only Qin and Yan are the most likely to unify the world. But don't forget, Your Majesty, Yan Wang Kang is only eighteen years old now, and Qin Wang Yingji is over seventy years old. ”

"Now that King Yingji of Qin has reached the age of ancient properity, to put it mildly, how many days does he have to live? As soon as he died, how could the Qin State deal with Yan Wangkang? Wang, think about it again, Yan Wangkang has done it since he was a child in Liaodi, and the possibility of him unifying the world is the biggest! ”

After hearing this, Qi Wangjian's spirits also perked up, and he felt that Hou Sheng's words were very reasonable.

Hou Sheng continued:

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, as long as our king submits to Yan Wang Kang, he will treat my king well for the unification of the world, and be seen by the princes of the world and even the world. The fact that the lords of Buyeo and Kei were able to die well has proved that Yan Wang Kang is a broad-minded person. ”

"In this way, my king and his descendants will be rich and safe for life, and the sacrifices of my Tian ancestors and ancestors will also be extinct, isn't this exactly what my king wants! Let's say another word, as for whether Yan Wangkang can unify the world in the future, what does it have to do with my king? ”

"It's that Yan Wang Kang can't seize the world, but Yan Kingdom is destroyed by other countries, and it doesn't have much impact on my king. My king is a man who submits to the kingdom of Yan, and he will be able to save his own life and that of his descendants. ”

After Qi Wangjian listened to Hou Sheng's words, his eyes lit up.

After thinking for a moment, he praised Hou Sheng:

"Good, great good. What the uncle said is very true, but how to get Yan Wangkang to agree to the widow's request? ”

After listening to Qi Wangjian's words, Hou Sheng knew that the matter had been completed.

"Your Majesty, now, Yan Wangkang has sent Liao Shan, the minister of ceremonies, into my Linzi City. Tomorrow Liao Shan will come to visit my king, and my king can reach a condition with him. In this way, it can be done. ”

Qi Wangjian nodded, not knowing what he remembered again, and said to Hou Sheng:

"Uncle, what if Yan Wangkang doesn't agree to the widow's conditions?"

Hou Sheng smiled and said to Wang Jian: "Your Majesty, please rest assured." My king only needs to meet the Yan envoy Liao Shan tomorrow, and then hand over this matter to his subordinates. The ministers will be dealt with according to the decree of my king. ”

Qi Wangjian was very happy, and said to Hou Sheng: "Uncle is still considerate!" is not like Shangqing Zhou Zi and others, forcing the widow to die with the Yan army. Okay, I'll leave this matter to my uncle tomorrow. ”

"Uncle, you tell Yan envoy Liao Shan that as long as Yan Wang Kang can agree to what the widow just said, the widow will return to the Yan Kingdom. And...... And afterwards, the widow will thank him heavily. ”

Hou Sheng stretched out his sleeves and robes, and saluted: "The queen is victorious and obeys my king's edict." ”

The next day, Qi Wangjian met with Liao Shan, a messenger sent by Ji Kang.

Shangqing Zhou Zi and other ministers tried their best to dissuade Qi Wangjian from submitting to Yan Wangkang.

But with the cries of the captured Qi army outside the city, Qi Wangjian did not hesitate.

issued an edict ordering his uncle Hou Sheng to preside over the talks with Liao Shan.

Under the tacit understanding between Liao Shan and Hou Sheng, the agreement was quickly reached.

The conditions of the Qi State are to ensure the personal safety of Qi Wangjian and even the clansmen; the second is to ensure that Qi Wangjian's personal property is retained; Third, it is forbidden to kill the ministers of the court of Qi, and even the people of Linzi, the capital of Qi, and ensure the safety of the ministers and the people's property.

The conditions of the Yan State are that the royal family of Qi will cut the prince, and the king of Qi will be changed to a first-class duke according to the Yan system; The Tian clan and even the temple all moved to the Liao land of Yan State; Issued an edict to all parts of the Qi country, stop the resistance to the Yan army, and all surrender to the Yan country.

The two sides stipulated that on the sixth day of the fifth month, Wang Jian of Qi presented Qi to King Kang of Yan to Linzi, and went out of the city to return to Yanguo.
