The importance of Qin Wang Yingji to Yan is different from that of other countries in the Central Plains.

For Han and Wei, who were afraid of Qin, Qin Wang Yingji asked Wei Wangyu and Han Wangran to go to Xianyang in person; For the three powerful kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Chu, King Yingji of Qin sent envoys to explain and persuade in detail.

In order to be able to justify himself as the "Son of Heaven", Yingji was above the court, and when selecting envoys from various countries, he deliberately selected Cai Ze, a Gangchengjun who was born in Yan and had served as the prime minister of Qin, as an envoy to the capital of Yan.

In fact, after receiving the envoys of the Qin State, all the countries in the world set their eyes on the Yan State again.

Cai Ze's envoy to Yan State this time had two purposes: on the one hand, it was to allow Yan State to smoothly send envoys to Qin State to attend Qin's sacrifice to the heavens and the establishment of the Ding in October; On the other hand, he just wanted to personally test the reality of Yan Kingdom.

As one of the most outstanding strategists of this era, Cai Ze has already seen that the ownership of this world is none other than Qin Jiyan.

At this time, the Yan State, in all respects, if nothing else, will inevitably compete with the Qin State for the world.

The two countries are now making preparations for both sides in all aspects.

Cai Ze, who returned to his homeland, was full of worries about the future of the Qin State from the moment he set foot on the land of Yan State.

Yan Guo has changed so fast that he has become unrecognizable.

Cai Ze and his entourage came to Jidu, the capital of Yan Kingdom, and it was already August.

The changes in the city of Jidu, as well as its prosperity and wealth, have long exceeded Cai Ze's imagination.

Don't say it's Cai Ze, together with the Qin State and his party who accompanied Cai Ze to the Yan State, they all privately sighed that if this city belonged to the Qin State, how good it would be.

According to the etiquette of various countries in this era, when an envoy from another country comes, he must first note the court and go to the palace to face the king.

Yan Guo is naturally no exception.

On the third day of August, early in the morning.

Cai Ze came to the outside of the Ji Palace, preparing to enter the Ji Palace, and went to the palace to meet Yan Wang Kang, the king of his homeland.

After the bell and drum of the upper hall of Yan Kingdom rang, Cai Ze heard the shouts of the mountain and tsunami coming from the Ji Palace:

"Ten thousand years of my king! Years! Ten thousand years! ”

"Ten thousand years of Yan Kingdom! Years! Ten thousand years! ”

When Cai Ze heard this, he sighed and said: "Yan Guo is really different from the past!" ”

After a while, a voice came from the hall in turn:

"My king has an edict to order Cai Ze, the envoy of the Qin State, to go to the palace to meet him."

Cai Ze stepped into the palace gate, and saw that on the square in front of the palace hall, there were teams of palace guards with their heads up, their chests up, their armor distinct, and their swords and guns.

From the eyes of these palace guards, Cai Ze could feel the confident gaze of these palace guards of Yan Kingdom.

Cai Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really a big country!" ”

Entering the hall, Cai Ze saw his homeland sitting in front of him, the young king who was famous all over the world, but had never seen it. At this time, he was looking at himself with a sharp gaze.

Cai Ze came to the front of the hall, clasped his hands together, bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "Qin envoy Cai Ze, meet the king." ”

Ji Kang looked at this ugly carefully, but Cai Ze, a famous man from Yan Kingdom, said slowly:

"Qin envoy is exempt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ji Kang looked at His Royal Highness Cai Ze, and did not ask Cai Ze's intention, but said to Cai Ze:

"Mr. Cai Ze, Mr. Wen is my Yan country's clan, can you take it seriously?"

Cai Ze was stunned, this Yan Wangkang doesn't play cards according to common sense!

At this time, as a king, don't you ask, "What does the one who come?"

Cai Ze bowed down, bowed to Ji Kang again, and said: "The foreign minister is indeed a native of the Yan country, and his homeland is complete." ”

Ji Kang smiled and said to Cai Ze:

"Mr. is a big name, and no one has heard of it for a long time, and I don't expect to see Mr. here. Mr. is talented, and the widow is deeply admired. It's a pity that my Yan country missed a pillar of talent. ”

Ji Kang's words, Cai Ze heard it, and his heart warmed.

said to Ji Kangyan: "The king is like this, Cai Zecheng is terrified. ”

Ji Kang laughed and said to Cai Ze: "Since Mr. has returned to his homeland, then stay in his homeland for a few more days." Take a look around and see the changes in my Yan Kingdom. You can also go back to Gangcheng to see your relatives. ”

Somehow? A sour feeling surged up the bridge of Cai Ze's nose, and he almost burst into tears.

stabilized his mood and hurriedly said to Ji Kang:

"Thank you, King. But Cai Ze, as an envoy of Qin, came to Yan Kingdom to inform the king that Cai Ze did not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons. ”

"Oh, sir, please." Ji Kang said disappreciably.

For Cai Zelaiyan's mission this time, Ji Kang is very clear in his heart.

"My king, my king wants to hold a sacrifice to the heavens in Xianyang in early October, and ask the king to send a messenger to Xianyang."

Ji Kang laughed out loud and said to Cai Ze: "Mr. Cai Ze, the mission of your coming to your homeland is unknown to everyone. The widow can tell you clearly that Yan Guo, as a member of the surname Zhou Muji, will not congratulate Qin Guoding because of the matter. ”

"Ahh ……”

Cai Ze didn't expect that Ji Kang would be so direct.

At this time, Prime Minister Su Dai came out and said to Cai Zeyan:

"Mr. Cai Ze, my king once said: know, but not disloyal; He who is a minister is not a minister, and he speaks for the benefit of the country and does not admonish the king, not a minister. King Qin's sacrifice to the heavens to pray for blessings is to imitate the Zhou rites and uphold the righteous path, which is a good thing. ”

"But Mr. Cai Ze, you, are in vain for the sake of the King of Qin. He invited the King of Qin to prepare to erect the Jiuding plundered from the land of Wangji in the temple of the Qin State, regardless of whether it would provoke the hatred of the nations. ”

"Jiuding is a symbol of the world, the country's important weapon. How can the Qin State do the things of the "Son of Heaven"? Mr. This move, Su Dai thought it was inappropriate, I don't know if Mr. agrees? ”

Cai Ze, like Prime Minister Su Dai, is a famous columnist in the world, so he naturally wants to refute it.

"Mr. Su Dai, what you said just now, Cai Ze didn't dare to agree. Today, it is called the "Warring States" by the world. What is Sengoku? That is to say, all countries in the world are warring states, and there is a life-and-death coveting between countries. ”

"The Qin State sacrificed to the heavens, and had no intention of making enemies with other countries, nor did it ask for favors from other countries. Cai Ze thought that as long as the kings of all countries in the world were worthy of the name of the "Son of Heaven", they could do the things of the "Son of Heaven", including the Yan Kingdom. ”

Prime Minister Su Dai shook his head and said to Cai Ze: "Mr. Cai Ze, what you said just now is not good! In this case, why did King Yingji of Qin force the kings of Wei and Han to go to the meeting of Qin this time? ”

Cai Ze defended: "The king, Mr. Su Dai, the courtiers of the Yan State, Wei and Han are the neighbors of the Qin State, and they have a vendetta with the Qin State, and they have also fought with swords many times. ”

"Our king is now tired of disputes, and wants to live in peace with all nations. So take the initiative to show favor to the king of Wei and the king of Han, and invite the kings of the two countries to go to Xianyang, why do you mean to force each other? ”

Prime Minister Su Dai and the courtiers of Yan State all laughed, this Cai Ze is really too shameless!

Su Dai said to Cai Ze again: "What Mr. Cai Ze said just now, I'm afraid that even my three-year-old child in Yan Kingdom can't be deceived!" King Yingji of Qin had long had the ambition to annex the world, but after the Battle of Handan, he also knew the truth that swallowing the world was not a day. ”

"It's not impossible, it's not impossible. If Qin swallows Han, the Three Jin Dynasty (referring to the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han) will join forces to resist Qin, and my Yan State, including Chu State, will not stand idly by. Therefore, the king of Qin had this thing of sacrificing to the heavens. ”

"Everyone in the world says that Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, the country of tigers and wolves, and now they also know the trouble of swallowing tigers and wolves. Mr. Cai Ze, I don't know if what I Su Dai said is the truth? ”

Cai Ze heard Su Dai say this, and said in his heart: "This old man of Su Dai is not a world-famous columnist!" ”

What Cai Ze didn't know was that Su Dai also sighed in his heart at this time:

"This Cai Ze is not a sophist! No wonder, Fan Ju can say something in a word. ”

Cai Ze stepped forward and said sarcastically to Su Dai: "I have heard that Mr. Su Dai is highly talented, and he can treat people with humility, which is really extraordinary!" Why is it here to speak insulting and hurtful? I ......"

"Sir, needless to say, today the widow has been taught." Ji Kang said loudly.

Cai Ze didn't finish his words before he was interrupted by Ji Kang.

People in this era are very fond of such debates.

But for this style of rhetoric, Ji Kang doesn't like it.

Seeing that Cai Ze wanted to say more, Ji Kang waved his hand and stopped Cai Ze's next words.

said to Cai Ze: "Mr. Cai Ze, my Yan Kingdom is also preparing to hold a military parade in October. The widow also invited the envoys of various countries in Jidu, and asked the gentleman to watch with the widow at that time. ”

The meaning of Ji Kang's words is very clear, and it can be said that he is in-for-tat with the Qin State.

Isn't your Qin State going to sacrifice to the heavens, and my Yan Kingdom is to sacrifice the heavens and parade at the same time, and the intention is self-evident.

Seeing Cai Ze's stunned appearance, Ji Kang couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

You Cai Ze is a well-known debater in the world, and if you fart a little bigger, you will be able to speak the Tao. I don't want to hear it anyway, so don't talk about it.
