Chapter 689: Defection
Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then looked at King Chu hesitantly, and saw that King Chu looked expectant, and his heart was suddenly full of doubts.
The king of Chu suddenly asked him about the crown prince, why was this?
Could it be...
Thinking about it, Qiu Ye pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Prince Zhang has been smart since he was a child, diligent and studious, and he is deeply loved by King Zhao. Moreover, Prince Zhang has been in Daidi for several years, and asked General Zhao Niu Jian for military advice. It is said that the general Niu Jian has praised the prince Zhang for his ability many times, and he thinks that the prince Zhang has a certain amount of heat in the army, which reassures King Zhao, and this time let him follow Niu Jian to attack Zhongshan. ”
As he spoke, Qiu Ye arched his hand and asked, "I don't know why the king asked the minister about the crown prince's chapter?" ”
As soon as Xiong Huai heard Qiu Li's inquiry, he looked at him and said with a meaningful smile: "Without him, it is a widow who hears that the prince Zhang is virtuous, and there is no marriage contract yet, so he plans to marry the good daughter of the office." ”
Qiu Li's head was stunned when he heard this, and there was only one thought in his whole mind: the king of Chu planned to marry the Zhao State, and the two countries of Chu and Zhao were going to form an alliance.
Thinking of this, Qiu Li's face suddenly changed greatly, and after a while, he became blue and white. The reserve in his eyes had disappeared without a trace, and at this moment, there was only panic left in his eyes.
The alliance between Chu and Zhao is actually a great disaster for his situation at this moment.
The reason why he can be a prime minister in the Song Kingdom is not how virtuous he is, although he thinks that his talent is no less than others, but in the heart of the King of Song, he may not be, I am afraid that whether it is talent or trust, in the heart of the King of Song, he is not as good as Hui An.
But as a result, the king of Song regarded him as Song Xiang, not Hui An.
There is only one reason for this, that is, he has the support of Zhao Guo behind him.
If there is no Zhao State, then he will be useless in the heart of King Song.
And at this moment...
Qiu Ye looked at the still smiling and approachable King Chu on the stage, but his heart was full of fear.
The king of Chu intends to dig out his foundations.
Thinking about it, the hatred liquid broke out in a cold sweat.
Once Chu and Zhao marry and form an alliance, where should his enmity go?
If the king of Chu does not like it and asks the king of Zhao to send another minister to serve in the Song state, then he will be completely finished.
At this time, Qiu Liquid suddenly remembered that the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song was not only detrimental to the state of Chu, but also to the state of Zhao, which was attacking the country of Zhongshan.
Although the Song State was unable to threaten the Zhao State, the alliance between the Song State and the Qi and Wei countries greatly eased the pressure on the southern part of the Qi and Wei countries, not only the Song State itself, but also the Chu State for the Qi and Wei countries.
In this way, once the two countries of Qi and Wei were dissatisfied with Zhao's attack on Zhongshan, they then sent troops to intervene.
This...
King Zhao must have thought that he had betrayed the state of Zhao.
This...
Thinking of this, Qiu Li swallowed his saliva, but then found that his mouth was unusually dry, and there was no saliva at all. Then, I felt a dry mouth and thirst.
So, Qiu Li immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and drank all the wine in the cup.
After putting down the wine glass, Qiu Liquid found that his palms were full of sweat.
Then, after the maid on the side filled the wine, the thirst in Qiu Li's heart was still strong, so she picked up the wine glass again and drank a glass of cow.
On the other side, Xiong Huai saw that Qiu Liquid was out of shape instantly, and drank three glasses of wine in a row, a trace of flushing appeared on his face, and he knew that Qiu Liquid had already been frightened by him.
This Zhao State is not only Qiu Li's confidence, but also his death hole.
Although he is the Song Dynasty, the first thing he considers is the gains and losses of the Zhao State, and then the Song State.
This is the biggest flaw of the Liquid of Hatred.
Thinking about it, the smile on Xiong Huai's face became even stronger.
secretly laughed in his heart: Song Guo, Song Xiang, can't the widow still be scared!
At this time, Gongzi Ziqing watched the King of Chu and Qiu Liquid talking on the side, and saw that his father said a word, which scared Qiu Liquid into sweating profusely.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but look at his father on the stage with admiration, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously in his heart.
Then, he silently experienced the conversation between the two in his heart several times, wanting to explore the subtlety.
And Zhao Chang bent the two of them, looked at the gaffe of the hatred liquid, looked at each other, and then picked up the wine glass at the same time, signaled to each other, and then drank it all.
After a glass of wine, a sense of comfort was born.
Especially Zhaochang, he couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
This glass of wine is probably the most wonderful wine he has ever drunk in his life.
At this time, Xiong Huai saw Qiu Ye reaching out for the wine glass again, worried that he would get drunk, and the purpose of inviting him here today would be ruined.
So, immediately cough lightly twice to remind the vengeous liquid.
When Qiu Li heard the movement, he immediately came back to his senses, and then saw that all the people in the hall were looking at him with strange eyes.
At this time, he reacted that he had lost his temper.
Then, looking at the right hand that had already picked up the wine glass and stayed in mid-air, it was not to put it or not to put it down.
For a while, I was embarrassed and embarrassed!
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Li brought the wine glass to his mouth, and after taking a sip of the cow drink, he embarrassedly apologized to the king of Chu and said: "King, the weather in Yingdu is hot, and the minister has just come to the south, so it is difficult to adapt for a while, and it is rude!" ”
Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, after all, he didn't plan to attack the Song Kingdom, but wanted to win over the Song Kingdom, so he skipped this section directly, raised his glass and signaled, and said again: "Listening to Mr. 's words, the widow will rest assured, this Zhao Taizizhang is really a good match." ”
Saying that, Xiong Huai put away his smile, and then showed a solemn face, and in the surprise of Qiu Li, he said: "Sir, the widow came to you this time, and there is another matter to inquire." ”
As soon as Qiu Ye saw that the King of Chu was so solemn, he was more formal than asking the prince Zhang just now, and immediately the seriousness of this matter was even worse than that of Fang Cai, his heart sank slightly, and then he cheered up and replied: "Please give the king's orders!" ”
Xiong Huai nodded, pointed at Ziqing and said, "Sir, this is the third son of the widow, the son Ziqing." ”
Qiu Ye couldn't help but look at Gongzi Ziqing when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
Ziqing returned the salute and said, "Sir, Ziqing is polite." ”
After the two of them said hello, Xiong Huai stared at Qiu Ye intently and asked: "Sir, now that Ziqing has reached the age of sixteen, the widow wants to ask King Zhao for the princess as his wife, I don't know which princess he thinks can be a good match?" ”
Qiu Liquid was stunned when he heard this.
The king of Chu asked the king of Zhao for the royal daughter, where is the use of asking him for advice.
So much...
Where is the problem, the princess is a good match, and it is clear that he is in line, whether it is a pro-Chu or an enemy.
Thinking of a question from the King of Chu before, Qiu Ye already understood that the purpose of the King of Chu inviting him here was to let him take refuge in the Chu State! In other words, it made him biased towards Chu in this diplomacy between Chu and Song.
At this time, if he opened his mouth at this time to propose a candidate, it would be a great contributor to the marriage of Chu and Zhao. If he kept his mouth shut, then naturally there was no need to say much, and the King of Chu would immediately turn his face.
Then, Qiu Li closed his eyes and groaned for a while, and found that if the Chu State really went to form an alliance with the Zhao State, with the relationship and current situation between Chu and Zhao, there was a chance that the alliance would succeed, and he couldn't stop it at all.
Thinking about it, Qiu Liquid made a decision, then opened his eyes, bowed and said: "King, I heard that the second daughter of King Zhao is ten years old, but she is virtuous and virtuous, and she must be a good match for the son." ”
When Xiong Huai heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and this hatred liquid softened.
Thinking about it, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your kind words, if Chu and Zhao can marry and form an alliance, this must be the power of Mr." ”
Qiu Ye stiffened when he heard this, and then his whole body relaxed, and he laughed: "There! There! It's a privilege for the minister."
