For Qi Wangjian's sudden roll call, Hou Sheng was obviously a little surprised, which could be seen from the surprised look on Hou Sheng's face.

It's just that surprise is surprise, since Qi Wangjian has already named him, then Hou Sheng, as a courtier, naturally has to answer.

So Hou Sheng came out of the ranks and came to the front of Qi Wangjian.

To be honest, Hou Sheng has been thinking for a long time about the decision of whether this Qi State should unite with the Qin State to attack the Chu State.

But to be honest, Hou Sheng's perspective on this matter is different from that of other Qi ministers.

When others think about this matter, they either want to consider whether it is beneficial to align the country, or they want to fight to the death with political opponents.

However, the factors considered by Hou Sheng have nothing to do with Qi Guo at all, and there is only one word he cares about - money.

For Hou Sheng, money is the most important thing, what laws, morals, and all that don't exist, if you have money, you can do things, and if you don't have money, you can roll the calf.

But specifically when it comes to collecting money, Hou Sheng is a very professional person, as long as you send him enough money, then he will definitely do things for you and help you speak.

Don't look at Zhao Guo a while ago because of what Huaxia Academy had a bad relationship with Qi State, causing Qi State to cut off all the food sent to Zhao State, but after Zhao Guo's envoy sent a few carriages of money and jewelry that Hou Sheng's eyes couldn't open, Hou Sheng immediately changed his words and said good things to Zhao Guo in front of Qi Wangjian.

But after Hou Sheng also received a few carriages of benefits from the envoys of Qin, Hou Sheng in front of Qi Wang Jian became impassioned again, believing that the decision of the alliance between Qin and Qi was a national policy and should be insisted on for a hundred years.

In general, it is a sentence, collect money to do things, and whoever gives more money will do things.

At this moment, Hou Sheng secretly calculated in his heart: "A few days ago, the Qin envoy sent 100,000 gold, a number of jewels and jade, equivalent to 500,000 gold. Zhao envoys sent 200,000 gold, several good horses, and a number of Handan dancing girls, equivalent to 550,000 gold, which is Zhao Guo's most. However, the gift sent by the Qin envoy last month was 100,000 gold more than the Zhao envoy last month......"

After this is calculated, the victory is a little tangled.

Because Hou Sheng found that the gifts sent by the envoys of the Qin and Zhao kingdoms, if the total value is counted, it seems to be a situation that is completely comparable.

Now the victory is very tangled.

Someone said, what is the relationship between the Qin State and the Zhao State, and the Qin State's attack on Chu?

This is because the envoy of Zhao State has somehow discovered the period of the Qin-Qi Alliance, and clearly demanded that Hou Sheng must destroy the Qin-Qi Alliance, and naturally he could not let Qin Qi attack Chu together.

Normally, Hou Sheng is very fond of this kind of jumping out and making a final decision when the two sides are arguing.

If it was usual, Hou Sheng couldn't wait to jump out and speak, but it was precisely because of this money account that Hou Sheng was quite hesitant, so Hou Sheng didn't open his mouth until he was named by Qi Wangjian.

Hou Sheng stepped forward, terrified.

Which one should I choose?

The Zhao State with one million gold, or the Qin State with 999,990 gold?

What a tough choice.

Seeing Hou Sheng standing there silent for a long time, Qi Wang Jian couldn't help but urge: "Why didn't Hou Qing speak? ”

Hou Sheng was a spirit, and suddenly had an idea: "It's better to rely on this fluorene board, the front side will help Qin, and the back side will be against Qin." ”

So Hou Sheng's body shook violently, pretending to be frightened by Qi Wangjian's questioning, and threw the board to the ground.

"Smack!" After a muffled sound, Hou Sheng's board fell a few laps on the ground and fell several steps away.

The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State in the main hall obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they all looked at Hou Sheng with surprised eyes.

However, Hou Sheng completely ignored those strange gazes, his eyes stared at the board in front of him, his eyes kept shifting with the jump of the board on the ground, and he didn't leave the board at all.

There was another soft sound, and the board finally stopped.

Front.

Hou Sheng let out a long breath and walked up to pick up the fenban.

Qi Wangjian was stunned when he saw this situation: "Houqing, you are..."

However, before Qi Wangjian's words could be finished, Hou Sheng had already raised his head with an extremely determined expression.

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, even Qin and Chu should be defeated!"

Hou Sheng's words were so impassioned and categorical that they instantly covered the entire hall and buzzed in everyone's ears.

As soon as Hou Sheng's words came out, Tian Yan was immediately overjoyed, and Zhou Fen's brows immediately wrinkled.

Qi Wangjian looked at Hou Sheng a little strangely, obviously not understanding why Hou Sheng was so entangled just now, and after just a few breaths of time, it changed so quickly...

So Qi Wangjian asked again: "Why even Qin and Chu?" ”

Hou Sheng said in a loud voice: "Now that Qin and Zhao are standing side by side, how can Qi be indifferent? You have to be strong! If you want to be strong, it is nothing more than to expand your territory! Now that Lian Qin is attacking Chu, it is an excellent time! If you can take the northern land of Huai of Chu, then why worry that Qi cannot be stronger than the other countries! ”

Huaibei Land, as the name suggests, is the place north of the Huai River.

This place has been occupied by Wu and Yue, and now it is owned by Chu, hundreds of years ago Qi was here in Ailing was beaten by Wu Wangfucha, a war was annihilated by Wu 100,000 Qi troops, became a stepping stone for Wu hegemony.

And once this place is captured, then the Qi State can also border the Lu State from the southeast, thus creating new conditions for the destruction of the stubborn old neighbor of the Lu State.

If these were not enough to make Qi Wangjian's heart move, then the next sentence of Hou Sheng really became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Don't forget, the king, this is also the wish of the Queen Mother!"

This sentence exploded in Qi Wangjian's ears like a thunderbolt, and immediately reminded Qi Wangjian of what his mother had said a while ago.

"Qin Qiang, Qi is also worry-free; If Zhao is strong, then the destruction of the Qi country is imminent! ”

If you don't want to be bullied by the new overlord of Zhao State, then Lian Qin is the only way out for Qi State!

Qi Wangjian took a deep breath, raised his head, and for the first time showed a determined expression on his young face, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, the ministers have decided to join Qin and attack Chu, and gather and send troops on the same day!" ”

Qi Wangjian's words immediately had a decisive effect.

Many Qi ministers who had been watching from the side bowed down and saluted: "Only." ”

Qi Wangjian's gaze fell on Zhou Fen's body: "Zhou Qing, do you have any opinions?" ”

Zhou Fen looked at the triumphant Tian Yan, gritting his teeth with hatred, but he also had to lean over in the same way: "The minister has no opinion." ”

With the submission of Zhou Fen, the whole country of Qi finally unified their understanding, and officially joined the big stage of the Warring States Struggle for Hegemony again after several years of silence!
