Chapter 254: Reception
Qin Wangdang carefully looked at Chen Zhen in front of him, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Chen Qing asks to see the widow as a Qin person, I don't know if there is anything to say to the widow?" β
"Back to the king." Chen Zhen replied: "When the minister heard that the first king had died, he was very sad in his heart, and he specially asked for the permission of the widow to send an envoy to Qin as an envoy of Chu. β
Qin Wangdang nodded, noncommittal, and then asked: "Qing is the envoy of the Chu State, and it is natural for him to come to pay tribute to the first king, why do you still ask to see the widow outside the palace alone, and ask to go to the mausoleum to worship the first king?" Sir's request, the widow is very difficult, this is not etiquette! β
Chen Zhen sighed and said: "Great King, it was Chu Chen who came to pay homage to the first king, and now it is the Qin people who ask to worship the first king. Chu Chen naturally can't enter the temple of the first king, but the Qin people can. β
King Qin was stunned and silent.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen immediately showed a sad look: "I think that at the beginning, the minister left the Qi country and went to various countries to lobby, and it was the former king who promoted me from many guests. β
"Therefore, when the Qin State suffered a setback, the ministers traveled the world on the orders of the first king and visited Chu in order to repay the kindness of the first king."
Although, the later ministers were stupid and did not understand the deep meaning of the first king, so that the first king was disappointed in the ministers, and finally could only go away to the Chu country. However, in his heart, he has always regarded Qin as his homeland and the former king as ...
Speaking of this, Chen Zhen suddenly bowed and said: "Please allow the king to let the ministers worship the king as a Qin person!" β
King Qin saw that Chen Zhen couldn't afford to bow down, and remembered that Chen Zhen had made great contributions to the Qin State in the past, retreated from Qi, retreated from Chu, and made remarkable achievements, and finally sighed: "Okay, Chen Qing also made great contributions to my Qin State in the past, and the matter of worshipping the former king is not too much to be reasonable, so the widow agreed." β
"Order, let the general Wu Huo mobilize a team of men and horses, and leave the palace with the widow!"
Zhang Yi's house.
Zhang Yi was drinking with Jin Shang, after a few glasses of wine, Jin Shang's face flushed, looked at the radiant Zhang Yi and sighed: "Xiangguo, I think back then, when you and I met in Chu State, you were a down-and-out lobbyist, and I was still a noble child." β
"Alas!" Jin Shang let out a long sigh and said: "I don't want to, for many years, you have already become the prime minister of the Qin State under one person and above ten thousand people, and now you are still the father of the King of Qin, which can be described as a noble minister." And I, a few years ago, was the doctor of the Chu State, and now I am still the doctor of the Chu State, and now I can't sleep at night, I want to go further, but I can't see the day of my future! β
Jin Shang was angry in his heart, and after speaking, he picked up the wine jug, filled his wine glass, and drank it all.
Zhang Yi saw Jin Shang drink three cups in a row, and slowly shook his head and said, "Then this time the doctor came to my house, and he came specifically to complain to me." β
Jin Shang smiled when he heard this: "Xiangguo smiled, how dare I complain to Xiangguo, this time I asked for the position of deputy envoy in front of the King of Chu, and I came to give Xiangguo a gift." β
As he spoke, Jin Shang took out a pair of exquisite jade bibs from his sleeves, gently placed them on the table, and then slowly pushed them towards Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi looked at Jin Shang with a smile on his face, then looked at this very exquisite jade, and then inexplicably remembered Gongsun Yanlai.
At that time, Gongsun Yan was driven away by the first king because he accepted bribes from Wei.
Thinking about it, Zhang Yi pressed one hand on Jin Shang's hand, shook his head and said: "Doctor, Yi also wants to help you, but it's a pity, I am the Xiangguo of Qin, you are the doctor of Chu, and the two countries of Qin and Chu are about to fight, I'm worried that I won't be able to help." β
Jin Shang smiled: "Xiangguo, Shang won't embarrass you, it's just a small favor." β
Seeing that Zhang Yi was unmoved, Jin Shang smiled and said: "Presumably Xiangguo also knows that not long ago, Princess Qin gave birth to a son for the King of Chu, and the King of Chu was overjoyed and specially named the princess his wife." Now Mrs. Qin is extremely favored in the state of Chu, and the king of Chu often stays in the palace of Mrs. Qin, which is proof of this. β
Zhang Yi was stunned, Jin Shang just made a start, and he knew what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, I listened to Jin Shang's meaningful words: "Shang just wants to ask Xiangguo for a favor, and ask Xiangguo to send an envoy to visit Princess Qin with me when I return to Chu." β
Zhang Yi was dumbfounded, dogs can't change eating, this Jin Shang wants to take the lady route again, was Mrs. Zheng before, and now Mrs. Qin!
HoweverΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
This kind of favor can help.
Zhang Yi thought silently.
The direction of the Chu army's attack this time is Wuguan and Hangu Pass, and in the face of these two Xiongguan, I am afraid that the Chu State will not have any hope.
As early as when the five countries were deploying troops, Zhang Yi had analyzed the purpose of each country.
The purpose of Qi is the simplest, from the movement of Qi dividing troops, it can be seen that Qi just wants to win over Zhao and Wei and divide the relationship between Chu and Hezhong, Zhao and Wei defected, and South Korea naturally followed suit, which is the same as the purpose of Qin (if Qi is not by attacking Qin).
The second is the state of Chu, the attack on Hangu Pass has no benefit to the state of Chu, and what is really beneficial to the state of Chu is to attack Wuguan, no, it should be said that it is in the middle.
The attitude of the Three Jin Dynasty to besiege the Qin State is the most firm, which is related to the geographical location of the Three Jin Dynasty, especially when the Qi State is weakened, the main purpose now is to weaken the Qin State, and after that...
Thinking about it, Zhang Yi nodded: "As soon as I heard the doctor, Yi remembered that King Qin also mentioned his sister not long ago. β
Saying that, Zhang Yi looked at Jin Shang and said with a smile: "My envoy of the Qin State will have a big gift to the King of Chu when he arrives, I hope the King of Chu will accept it with a smile when he arrives." β
Jin Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Thank you Xiangguo, thank you Xiangguo." β
Then Jin Shang filled Zhang Yi with it, and then filled it with himself, raised his glass and said: "Come, Xiangguo, for Qin Wangshou!" β
Zhang Yi raised his glass and drank it all, then looked at Jin Shang's face flushed and excited, and asked puzzledly: "Doctor, Yi is quite curious about one thing, you are the doctor of the Chu State, and Chen Zhen is only the head of the music officials of the Chu State, even if the doctor loses the favor of the King of Chu, it stands to reason that his status is higher than that of Chen Zhen, why would he act as Chen Zhen's deputy envoy." β
Jin Shang shook his head and said: "Xiangguo doesn't know, this time the candidate for the envoy of the Chu State, the King of Chu did not discuss with the minister at all, and directly appointed Chen Zhen. β
"Even if I asked the king to send an envoy to the Qin State, the result was only to be arranged as a deputy envoy..."
Before Jin Shang's words were finished, he saw Feng Xi hurriedly walking in.
Feng Xi glanced at Jin Shang after coming in, walked to Zhang Yi's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhen, the envoy of the Chu State just now, asked to see the king, after the king met Chen Zhen, I don't know what to say to Chen Zhen, and now the king has gone out of the city with Chen Zhen with his relatives under the escort of Wu Huo..."
