Chapter Fifty-Eight: Encountering the Rhino Head Again
"In order to prevent the Qin State from taking the lead in attacking the Chu State in a hurry after getting the news, we need to be careful in the Chu State. At this time, the general Zhao Rat Hand Hanzhong, the general Qu Kuo guarded Danshui, and Zhu Guo Jingcui defended Korea, so he could naturally be fearless of the attack of Qin. ”
"After the Qin State knows that our Chu State is prepared, the biggest possibility is to take advantage of the Chu State to join the alliance, send troops to the Qi State, and then take the momentum of a great victory to consolidate the position of the leader of the Qin State Alliance."
"Therefore, even after the Qin State defeats the Qi State, our Chu State still needs to actively ally with Zhao, Wei and Han, lest the Qin State turn its spear and command the troops of the Five Kingdoms to attack Chu."
Xiong Huai secretly praised and asked the ministers, "What do you think?" ”
Jing Li and the others glanced at each other, and said in unison: "What Keqing said is extremely true, and the ministers seconded it." ”
"Okay, since this is the case, then immediately send an envoy to the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, but the matter of forming an alliance with the Three Jin Dynasty is very important, who can Zhu Qing take on this important task?"
Hearing this, Jing Li saluted to the King of Chu and said: "King, the minister thinks that Keqing can, since this matter was proposed by Keqing, and Keqing is very diplomatic, he will definitely succeed immediately." ”
After Jing Li, other ministers seconded the proposal.
Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu looked over, and said unhurriedly: "King, Weichen Baoju is one person, this person is ten times better than me, and he will definitely not disappoint the king." ”
Xiong Huai heard Chen Zhen say this, and said with a smile: "Xianqing is too modest, how can there be people in the world who are ten times better than you?" ”
Chen Zhen bowed his hand and said, "King, the person who Weichen wants to protect is not someone else, it is really Sun Yan, the prince of Chu." ”
This Chu Xiang is the same as Su Qin's body with the seal of the Six Kingdoms, but he has a seal on his body, indicating that this is a person from the Chu State, and he only has the right to make diplomatic contacts, and has no other role.
The head of Chu was the reward that Gongsun Yan received from the king of Chu when he helped the king of Chu to obtain the position of the leader of the alliance, which was specially used to contact other countries.
"Rhino Head Gongsun Yan?" Xiong Huai was shocked and confirmed.
"King Hui, it's the rhino head." Chen Zhen nodded.
Xiong Huai was puzzled: "Didn't the rhino head disappear in the Wei Kingdom?" Could it be that he has come to our Chu country? ”
"King, that's exactly the case, what Wechen said before is the strategy of the rhinoceros, so Wechen thinks that the rhinoceros is the best candidate for this plan." Chen Zhen said.
"Rhino's plan!" Xiong Huai suddenly realized, no wonder Chen Zhen was so powerful today, he thought he was taking drugs, it turned out that there was someone behind him.
Although Gongsun Yan basically did not win the war with Qin, this does not mean that Gongsun Yan's military literacy is poor, but the current Qin State is very strong compared to Wei and Han.
Especially when the Five Kingdoms invaded Qin, what Gongsun Yan said to Yiqu State proved that Gongsun Yan's strategic vision was excellent.
If the person who helped Chen Zhen was the rhino head, then the probability of the success of this plan was extremely high, and the rhino head had no doubt about the connections in Sanjin.
Xiong Huai asked, "Where is the rhino head now?" ”
Chen Zhen replied: "Back to the king, now the rhino head is in the Weichen Mansion. ”
Where is Gongsun Yan in Chen, Xiong Huai expected it, and just wanted to open his mouth to let Gongsun Yan come over, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, thinking that this was the first foreign senior talent he had encountered, and he must pay attention to it.
Originally, he planned to put the deeds of buying bones on Chen Zhen, but now that he has a better candidate, he will start with Gongsun Yan.
As for how to reflect his importance to Gongsun Yan, Xiong Huai got from his memory that when Zou Yan went to Wei in the past, King Wei Hui personally went to the suburbs to greet him.
Now that Gongsun Yan is already in Yingdu, he can only greet him outside the Chu Palace.
So he changed his words:
"The rhino head came to the state of Chu, and the widow was the king of Chu, but he was ignorant, and his widow was also wrong. Xianqing, please invite the rhino head for the widow to come for a while, and the widow will greet him outside the Chu Palace. ”
Chen Zhen glanced at the King of Chu in surprise when he heard this, this kind of etiquette of the monarch personally greeting him outside the palace is a very grand welcome ceremony, but it is not the highest.
The legend that Wu Ding and Fu said in the past is called exaggeration.
Shang King Wu Ding grew up in the folk since he was a child, and after a few years of reign, he suddenly said that he dreamed of a saint descending from heaven, came to assist him, and drew the appearance and characteristics of Fu Shuo, and mobilized the power of Shang to find this legendary saint according to the portrait.
After a long time, Shang Guo found Fu Shuo who was building a wall among the slaves, and Fu Shuo was also promoted by Wu Ding directly from a slave to Xiangguo because of the mysterious color of a saint descended from heaven, which can be described as a step to the sky.
And another story of King Zhou Wen's dream of flying bear Jiang Ziya at night is widely spread in the world.
In order to absorb talents, the predecessors even dreamed of such outrageous things as happening, and the monarch personally welcomed it as a pediatric.
But in the state of Chu, such a grand ceremony is the first time.
Could it be that the king of Chu has changed his personality and wants to express his thirst for talent to the world?
Chen Zhen thought of this, and immediately bowed: "Only." ”
When Chen Zhen spoke, Jing Li opened his mouth, and he wanted to prevent the King of Chu from welcoming the rhino head with such a grand courtesy, but when he thought of how the plan of the rhino head and Chen Zhen would go smoothly, then the state of Chu would once again become the overlord of the world.
Compared with the status of the overlord of the world, the etiquette of the King of Chu to welcome him seems to be nothing.
After Chen Zhen left, Xiong Huai felt that he was just greeted outside the Chu Palace, and even King Wei Hui couldn't compare, and he had to increase the size.
At this moment, Xiong Huai remembered the red carpet of later generations.
But there is no red carpet in a hurry, and in this day and age, even carpets are a rarity.
Since there is no red carpet, we can also clean the road with water carpet hemp!
After thinking about it, he instructed Li Qiu: "Pass on the widow's order, immediately send someone to clean the road with water, from the outside of the Chu Palace all the way to this palace." ”
"Yui." Li Qiu paused and said to the King of Chu: "King, the rhinoceros will soon reach the Chu Palace, and now with only the palace attendants, I'm afraid it's too late, and the minister asks the king to give an order to transfer a team of palace guards to help." ”
Xiong Huai bowed: "Yes." ”
After arranging for the personnel to clean up the road, Xiong Huai said to the ministers: "Zhuqing, please come with the widow and go to the outside of the Chu Palace to greet the rhino head together." ”
"Yui."
Some ministers did not look good, but when the king of Chu opened his mouth, he could only admit it.
Xiong Huai took the ministers out of the main hall, saw some palace guards and attendants, and had already begun to clean the road.
In fact, this section of the road will be cleaned once a day before the Qunchen Road, although it cannot be said to be spotless, but it is also very clean.
What Li Qiu is doing now is to sprinkle water on the road, wash the road with water, and then treat the water clean.
Xiong Huai waited outside the Chu Palace with his ministers for a while, and saw a carriage coming from a distance.
After the carriage stopped not far from the Chu Palace, the first person to get off was Chen Zhen, and then an old man with white hair and beard came down.
This person is Gongsun Yan, who is known as the rhinoceros.
