Zhang Yi replied: "Great King, didn't we secretly instigate the Wei State to help the Qi State fight against the Chu State before, just to make the countries in the eastern part of the Kwantung fight together and have no time to take care of us. Now that the strategy has begun to bear fruit, it is natural to continue to implement it.

Therefore, the old minister thought that we should immediately send someone to the state of Chu to agree on the marriage date, and prepare the wedding of Gongziji and the princess of Chu, so as to stabilize the state of Chu. ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "King, the marriage of Qin and Chu is not only beneficial to the Chu State, but also to our Qin State, as long as the Chu State temporarily puts down the Qin State, then our next decisive battle with the Zhao State and the action of attacking the Yiqu State will be convenient to act." ”

Zhu Liji continued: "What Xiang Guo said is extremely true, and besides, not only Gongziji, the king has been on the throne for three years, and he should also marry the queen." ”

King Qin was stunned.

Following.

In the Qin Palace.

King Qin summoned Zhao Chang and said with a smile: "Mr. came to my Qin country for a few days, but he didn't come to ask to see the widow, could it be that the widow was not well entertained?" ”

"Don't dare." Zhao Chang arched his hand and said: "The minister's visit to the Qin State this time is to visit the Qin State on the order of the queen of Qin, not to visit the king on the order of the widow, so he does not dare to go over." ”

It is normal for the queen of Chu to care about her daughter's marriage, and if the king of Chu is in a hurry to marry his daughter, it will damage the face of the king of Chu.

Qin Wangdang asked: "Visiting the Mi clan, is Mr. here to discuss the marriage between the royal brother and the princess Chu with the Mi clan?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Chang answered.

Qin Wangdang nodded and said, "Yes, with the passing of the filial piety of the first king, Qin Chu has agreed to marry for almost three years, and it is time for Gongziji and Princess Chu to get married." ”

Saying that, Qin Wangdang looked at Zhao Chang again and asked, "Sir, I don't know when the Chu State thinks it is appropriate." ”

Zhao Chang arched his hand and said: "It depends on the king." ”

King Qin pondered for a moment and said, "The widow has already sent someone to visit the Qi country, and if nothing else, he will marry the princess of Qi on the fifteenth day of August." Therefore, the widow decided to set the first auspicious day after August 15 for Gongziji's wedding, I don't know what Mr. thinks. ”

"It's so good, it's just..." Zhao Chang hesitated: "Now there is no news from the Qi country, if there is a change in the Qi country, I don't know what to do." ”

King Qin smiled and said: "If there is a change in the Qi country, whether the widow marries the queen or not, Gongzi Ji will marry Princess Chu on the first auspicious day of the next year." ”

Zhao Chang smiled and said: "If this is the case, the queen will be relieved." ”

Qin Wangdang then asked, "I don't know what the Chu State has for this wedding. ”

Zhao Chang responded: "The king, although the princess is only married to the prince, but the princess is the eldest princess of my Chu State, the widow does not expect the Qin State to marry the princess with the etiquette of marrying the queen, but the princes still have the etiquette of the princes, so please invite the king of Qin to invite envoys from various countries to come to watch the ceremony." ”

"It's easy." Qin Wangdang nodded: "Although the rules of the Qin State are that those who have no merit have no lord, but Gongzi Ji is the brother of a widow, and it is still okay to marry with the etiquette of the princes." ”

Zhao Chang arched his hand and said: "In this way, our country has no other requirements." ”

"Good!" King Qin smiled and said: "In this case, then please wait for Chu State, and the widow will send an envoy to Chu State to agree on the marriage date." ”

Zhao Chang responded: "In this way, our country will definitely wait for the arrival of the Qin envoy." ”

The other side.

Since Chen Zhen left Tengdi, he has rushed all the way to Xinzheng, and the reason why he set the first target in South Korea is not because of anything else, or because South Korea is weak and more dependent on Chu. After South Korea agreed to Chu's request, Zhao had no choice.

After arriving in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, the next day, Chen Zhen was summoned by the king of Han.

In the Korean Palace.

Chen Zhen's tone was flat, but his attitude was very firm: "King Han, not long ago, the Wei State turned its back on the Chu State and sent troops to help the Qi State defend Tengcheng, therefore, the widow was very angry and planned to ask the Wei State to teach a lesson, and asked the South Korean Army to send troops to help.

In addition, for the betrayal of Wei, we felt that Wei could not continue to stay in the Six-Nation Alliance, and should expel the Wei army in the coalition army, and from now on, other countries attacking Wei would no longer be helped by other countries, I don't know what King Han wanted. ”

"Hmmm..." King Han pondered for a while, looked at the uncle and the prince who were standing below, and saw that their faces were heavy, and they were all hesitating, so he said to Chen Zhen: "Messenger, this matter is too sudden, the widow has been guarding against the Qin State before, and rashly sent troops to attack the Wei State, and the widow is not prepared. Therefore, the widow wanted to consult with the ministers and give the messenger an answer later, but I don't know what the messenger thinks. ”

"Absolutely." Chen Zhen smiled and agreed to King Han's request.

South Korea's strength is weak, and in the case of the secret cooperation between Qin and Wei, there is no choice at all, and Chen Zhen is not afraid that South Korea will not agree. But in order to put more pressure on South Korea, Chen Zhen paused, and then said:

"The king, although the minister is willing to give the king more time to think about it, the king of Chu also asked the minister to go to Zhao and invited Zhao to attack Wei together. Therefore, in order not to delay the mission handed over to the minister by the king of Chu, the minister planned to go to Zhao early tomorrow morning. Therefore, please consult with the kings and his ministers as soon as possible. ”

When King Han heard this, he smiled stiffly: "Rest assured, the widow will definitely give an answer before the envoy leaves Korea." ”

Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "In this way, the minister will rest assured." ”

After Chen Zhen left, King Han asked his uncle Gong Zhongxuan: "Two virtuous people, how can the king of Chu send troops to attack Wei State?" ”

As he spoke, the sorrow in King Han's heart immediately poured into his face, and his face was full of melancholy.

South Korea is surrounded by big powers, especially Qin and Chu.

In the past few years, South Korea has followed the Chu State, made friends with Zhao and Wei, and blocked the Qin State in Guanzhong, which has enjoyed several years of peace.

Right now, Chu and Wei are turning against each other, so should South Korea help Chu or Wei?

The uncle replied: "King, at the moment, it is not only a matter of Chu and Wei against the two countries, where did the minister get the news from Chu and Wei, Qin and Wei have made peace, and Qin has withdrawn Shaoliang's troops. Moreover, the state of Chu also sent an envoy to the state of Qin not long ago, and it is said that the two countries of Qin and Chu will officially marry. ”

"It's not about to be, it's already married." At this time, Gong Zhong extravagantly interjected: "Great King, where did the minister get the news from the Qin State, the King of Qin has sent someone to the Chu State to discuss the marriage date of Qin and Chu. Moreover, not long ago, the Qin State also sent an envoy to the Qi State to discuss with the Qi State about marrying the queen.

The current situation of Qin is that it is friendly with Qi and Chu at the same time, and has an affair with Wei, and the specific movements are unknown. ”

"This..." King Han was shocked.
