Qin Xiang Cai Ze, who lived in the post office of the Wei State, knew everything about Wei Wangyu's thoughts and had already had a countermeasure.

The next day, Cai Ze was summoned by Wei Wangyu.

After Cai Ze came to the main hall of the Wei King's Palace, he bowed to the Wei King and said:

"Qin Prime Minister Cai Ze, meet the King of Wei."

"No need to be polite, Cai Ze, why did you come to my Wei Kingdom?"

Wei Wangyu looked at Cai Ze and asked knowingly.

"My lord, the foreign ministers came to Wei on the order of my king to talk to your country about the truce and alliance between the two countries."

Cai Ze said to Wei Wangyu neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Wei Wangyu sneered a few times and said to Cai Ze:

"Oh, Cai Ze! A few years ago, the widow had already made clear the attitude of my Wei State, if King Yingji of Qin wanted to make an alliance with my Wei State, he would first return the Hedong County that occupied my Wei State to my Wei State. ”

"Didn't he go back and report the attitude of the widow to the king of your family? The king of your family can't occupy the territory of the widow while talking about any alliance with the widow? Is there such a truth in the world? ”

Cai Ze smiled and said to Wei Wangyu:

"The king, the minister heard that the hermit of Chu said: "Don't cover your eyes with a leaf, and you can't see Mount Tai; Do not put beans in both ears, and do not listen to thunder. "As a monarch, you should keep the overall situation in mind before you can be a famous monarch."

"However, according to the words of the king just now, the foreign minister Cai Ze, but you are too disappointed in the king!"

After Shangqing Zhou Xin heard Cai Ze's words, he was very angry and scolded loudly:

"Cai Ze, how can you be so rude to my king."

When Cai Ze heard this, he laughed.

Seeing this, Shangqing Lingzhi said to Cai Ze: "Cai Xiang, why are you laughing? ”

Cai Ze said to the Wei Wangyu and even the ministers of the Wei State:

"Cai Ze laughed at the high crown of the Wei country, but he didn't know the danger of losing the country, so he laughed."

Shangqing Zhou Xin looked at Cai Ze and said coldly: "Mr. Cai Ze, you have done an amazing thing again." In the next Wen, Mr. Cai Ze was born in Yan Country, traveled around the world, and spoke eloquently. But instead of serving his homeland, he served with other countries and did not know loyalty. ”

As soon as he entered the Qin State, he persuaded Fan Ju to resign as prime minister and was worshiped by the king of Qin as the prime minister. This time I came to my Wei State, do you want to rely on the advantage of your tongue to follow suit and persuade Fan Ju? ”

The court of Wei State laughed when they heard this.

Cai Ze turned around, looked at the civil and military officials of the Yan State Manchu Dynasty, and said with a smile:

"Since Lord Zhou Xin mentioned Cai Ze's entry into Qin, I can talk about Fan Xiang here. It is not Cai Ze's tongue, but Fan Xiang's guidance due to the situation, and he took the initiative to retire. ”

"Fan Xiang is a person from your country, and he wanted to serve the king of Wei in your country but was not allowed to enter, but he almost died at the hands of Wei Qi. Only when he arrived in the Qin State did he show his talent and become famous all over the world. You can't deny this, right? ”

The officials of the Wei Manchu Dynasty, including Wei Wangyu, all turned red when they heard Cai Ze say this about Fan Ju, and they didn't know how to answer.

That's exactly what happened!

Fan Ju is so good, but he can't be reused in Wei.

Cai Ze said slowly in the court of Wei: "It is true that Cai Ze is a native of Yan State, and like Fan Xiang, he wrote King Yan in his homeland and wants to serve Yan Kingdom." But Cai Ze was born in a poor family in Yan Guonai, with no connections and no money. ”

In the end, he was beaten out of the palace gate by King Yan Hui, so he traveled around the world and went to Qin. Dare to ask Lord Zhou Xin, why did Cai Ze come from disloyalty and injustice? ”

Shangqing Zhou Xin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Wei Wangyu looked at the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, coughed twice, and said to Cai Ze:

"Cai Xiang, please forgive Wei Ting's rudeness."

Cai Ze bowed down to Wei Wangyu and said, "King, don't dare." Cai Ze knew that Wei was a state of etiquette, and this time he came to Wei for the alliance between Qin and Wei, not for bickering. ”

After thinking about it, Wei Wangyu said to Cai Ze:

"Since Cai Xiang was ordered to come to my Wei country, he wants to make peace with my Wei country. The widow would like to hear the details, please speak. ”

Cai Ze smiled and said to Wei Wangyu: "King, the foreign minister has heard: the army is not strictly governed, and the division is unknown. If the government is ruthless and the captives are bent on killing the captives, such an army will fail, and such a country will perish. ”

Most of the kings of the world know this truth, but most of the kings of the world are warlike kings. Take the situation of the Wei State today, whether it is the Zhao State in the north, or the Yan State that has just occupied Qi in the east, or even the Chu State in the south. ”

"Nowadays, for the Wei State in the Central Plains, it is all eyeing the tiger. Cai Ze does not shy away from saying here that the alliance with Wei is good for our Qin State today, but for Wei State, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! ”

After listening to Cai Ze's words, Shangqing Lingzhi said to Cai Ze:

"Mr. Cai Ze, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Now that your country has just occupied the two counties of Hedong and Anyang of our Wei State, and last year you also sent the Qin army of Hangu Pass to invade the former capital of our Anyi, which is what you said is beneficial to my Wei State? ”

"As far as Lingzhi can see, if you listen to Mr. Cai Ze's words, my Wei State will be well aligned with your Qin State. I'm afraid it's good for your Qin State and harmful to my Wei State! ”

Cai Ze laughed again "haha", and said to Ling Zhi:

"Lord Lingzhi, when I went to Yan Kingdom. I once heard the officials of Yan State say to Zaixia, and Yan Wang Kang once said to his ministers: Between countries, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I heard it and thought it was true. ”

"Today, the week is forgotten. In the disputes of various countries, the word 'profit' is spoken. Our Qin and Wei countries have been fighting each other for many years, and for our Qin and Wei countries, it can be said that the soldiers are tired and the people are not happy. ”

This move is just like what Su Dai, the minister of Yan said: the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Dare to ask Lord Lingzhi, if I continue to fight between Qin and Wei, will it be a matter for Wei? ”

Ling Zhi listened, and he didn't know how to answer.

Cai Ze turned around and said to Wei Wangyu: "Great King, if my Qin and Wei continue to fight with each other, it will only weaken the national strength of my Qin and Wei and increase the strength of other countries!" ”

"Last year, on the occasion of the war between our Qin and Wei countries in Hedong, the Yan State went south and joined Qi, while the Chu State went north to merge with Lu and Fei, and committed your country's Suiyang, all because of the fact that my Qin and Wei countries fought and had no skills!"

"Therefore, when our king saw this situation, he listened to the persuasion of his subordinates, and was willing to make peace with Wei and make a truce between the two countries. In this way, Wei no longer has to worry about war in the west, but can concentrate on the east! ”

I can't help but say that Cai Ze's mouth is powerful.

The Wei Wangyu and the Wei courtiers were speechless.

After listening to Cai Ze's words, Wei Wangyu thought about it for a long time and knew that Cai Ze was telling the truth.

looked at the courtiers and saw that no one refuted Cai Ze.

said to Cai Ze: "What Cai Xiang said is very true, this king has been taught. As long as Qin stops its troops in the western part of our Wei state, our Wei state is willing to sign a covenant of alliance with Qin and not invade each other. ”

In the first year of King Kang of Yan (254 B.C.), the first month.

King Yingji of Qin sent Cai Ze into Wei, and the two countries signed a covenant of friendship.
