Chapter Twenty-Nine: Zhang Yi Returns to Qin
A few months later, when Wei Si was in the palace preparing to officially confer official positions on Chen Zhen and Su Dai, he received that Qin Xiang had arrived in Daliang, and he was now outside the palace to meet him.
At this time, Wei Si hurriedly asked the messenger, only to find out that this Qin Xiang was no one else, it was still that Zhang Yi.
Wei Si naturally knew that this Zhang Yi must be a bad comer, and he must have his intentions, but after all, it is now Qin Xiang, and he can't say anything if he doesn't see him, so he suspended the matter and asked this Qin Xiang Zhang Yi to enter the palace.
Zhang Yi was dressed in a clean Qin Bang suit at this time, holding a Qin State talisman in his hand, his expression was solemn, and it was not at all the dirty appearance of Wei Si last time he saw him.
When Wei Si saw Zhang Yi entering the hall to salute him, he wanted to ridicule Zhang Yi, who he hated:
"Why did the beggars of the past put on new clothes today?"
Zhang Yi immediately responded:
"King Wei, who are the beggars you are talking about, why haven't I heard of it?"
Wei Si pointed at Zhang Yi with his finger:
"Could it be that the beggar that the widow saw in Michi that time is not Qin Xiang, you? Unexpectedly, only a year later, you, a beggar, have actually returned to the position of Qin Xiang? ”
Zhang Yi smiled "haha":
"King Wei, I Zhang Yi didn't expect you to know a beggar, it seems that King Wei, you and that beggar must have been very close at that time, right?"
Wei Si naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Yi's words, the meaning of this was not obviously that he was not far from the beggar, it seemed that his eloquence was indeed too much worse than this Zhang Yi, and if he continued to talk to it like this, he would only suffer the loss, so he changed the topic and asked:
"Since you are here to visit our Wei country, I don't know what the purpose of Qin Xiang's trip is?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth:
"King Wei, wait a minute, wait a moment!"
Wei Si was stunned for a moment, what does this Zhang Yi want me to wait for? You don't want to use your tongue to trick me again, right?
And at this time, the chamberlain suddenly came to Wei Si's ear and whispered:
"King, Gongsun Xiangguo is back, and now he is on his way to the palace, it seems that he is in a hurry!"
After Zhang Yi waited for the waiter to finish reporting the letter, he looked at Wei Si and asked:
"King Wei, if what I expected is correct, it should be that Sun Yan, the minister of your country, is coming, right?"
Wei Si asked curiously:
"How do you know that our grandson Xiangbang is coming to see this king now?"
Zhang Yi replied:
"If I Zhang Yi don't have any ability, what can I do Qin Xiang, King Wei, although you wait for your Lord Xiangguo to report the situation, you will know the intention of my Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi to come here!"
After a while, Gongsun Yan hurriedly entered the hall, and then when he saw Zhang Yi, he was shocked, so he immediately pointed at Zhang Yi and asked Wei Si:
"King, why did you let this person into the palace?"
Wei Si replied:
"Gongsun Xiangguo, you first tell the widow what is urgent this time, and the widow will explain to you later!"
Gongsun Yan reported to Wei Si:
"King, I just received an urgent report from Hedong County, the Qin army dispatched 150,000 troops and came straight to our old capital Anyi, and now the situation is urgent, so I personally rushed back to inform the king of you!"
Wei Si was shocked at this time, is this Qin army crazy? A few months ago, he just slaughtered nearly 100,000 soldiers of Han Zhao, and now he has just withdrawn his army, and he has come to attack my Wei State Anyi, don't you need to rest?
immediately angrily questioned Zhang Yi:
"You Qin army offended my Wei realm, you, the Qin minister, still dare to come to see this king, what are your intentions?"
Zhang Yi replied very indifferently:
"Since the king has received an urgent report from Gongsun Xiangguo, then we should be able to talk about this matter now, and I, Qin Xiang Zhang Yi, also came to see King Wei for the safety of Anyi, the old capital of Wei!"
Chen Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, came out and said angrily to Zhang Yi:
"You faithless and unrighteous person, since your Qin State sent troops to attack our Wei State, why do you pretend that you are here to help my king now?"
Zhang Yi looked at Chen Zhen:
"It seems that this Mr. Chen Zhen must be the new lieutenant doctor of Wei State, right? But I, Zhang Yi, don't understand why you, a person with three surnames, can be so appreciated by King Wei? ”
After hearing this, Chen Zhen immediately retorted:
"Mr. Zhang Yi, you said that I Chen Zhen is a person with three surnames, so what are your surnames Mr. Zhang Yi?"
Zhang Yi smiled:
"Although I Zhang Yi is a Wei person, but at that time, the first king of Wei didn't look down on me Zhang Yi, I had to go to Chu State, but unfortunately Chu Xiangzhao Yu is the kind of selfish and jealous person, so I had to go to Qin State, and finally got the appreciation of our Qin King, so I sat on the position of this Xiangbang, how can I believe it? Is that right? Dr. Chen? ”
Chen Zhen also smiled:
"Isn't my Chen Zhen the same as you Zhang Yi, my Chen Zhen is the first thing to do, how can Qi Guo be old and faint, and I don't stop my Chen Zhen's words, I have to go to Chu State, but unfortunately the King of Chu can't distinguish right from wrong after getting Zheng Sleeve, so I have to come to Wei State, and now the King of Wei values me, what is my Chen Zhen's surname?"
Zhang Yi said in a somewhat mocking tone:
"Since you said so, Doctor Chen, I want to ask you?"
Chen Zhen also replied disdainfully:
"Then you ask!"
Zhang Yi asked:
"In ancient times, there were kings and ministers, and ministers should be loyal to the king, is it true?"
Chen Zhen replied:
"Yes!"
Zhang Yi said again:
"Then since Lord Chen Zhen and you all know this truth, then I, Zhang Yi, will say it directly!"
Chen Zhen glanced at Zhang Yi angrily:
"Then you say, I'll see what else can come out of your mouth!"
Zhang Yi continued:
"I, Zhang Yi, was not treated by the kings of Chu and Wei at that time, and was driven to the Qin State, and you Chen Zhen are different, not only are you in important positions in Qi and Chu, but you don't know how to report to the king, but because your monarch is stupid and doesn't listen to his own words, he wants to throw himself into another country, isn't this kind of behavior a person with three surnames?"
Chen Zhen couldn't answer for a while, and Gongsun Yan couldn't help but speak at this time:
"Zhang Yi, you are a faithless and unrighteous person, you still dare to criticize our important ministers in the Wei State, do you believe that you can be sent to the Wei prison now?"
Zhang Yi ignored Gongsun Yan, but shifted his eyes to Wei Si:
"King Wei, can you Xiangguo of Wei State arrest people at will in the main hall of your palace?"
Wei Si was also angry at Zhang Yi:
"Qin Xiang Zhang Yi, don't be clever here and disturb the relationship between our important ministers of the Wei State, you came to our Daliang this time, so let's talk about it!"
When Zhang Yi heard Wei Si say this, he immediately changed his attitude, and took out a bamboo book from his arms with some respect, and handed it to Wei Si.
When Wei Si looked at the bamboo book, it turned out that it was written by King Yingsi of Qin, and the content was no wonder that he wanted to renew his friendship with Wei, and was willing to return the two pieces of land east of the river that he had occupied before, and married his daughter to be his wife.
After Wei Si read this book of King Qin, he asked Zhang Yi:
"Since the King of Qin wants to make friends with our Wei State, then why do you want to send troops to our Anyi?"
Zhang Yi explains:
"Our Qin army's goal this time is not your country's Anyi, we just want to use your country to punish the unrighteous Zhao State, so we sent me Zhang Yi to Daliang to inform the King of Wei about this matter, so as to re-establish friendship with Wei!"
Wei Si smiled lightly at Zhang Yi:
"You Qin State want to use our Wei State to attack Zhao? Then why didn't you inform us of the Wei State in advance, now that your Qin soldiers have arrived near our Anyi, you came to inform this king, isn't this despising our Wei State? How can there be sincerity in friendship? Besides, our Sanjin has always been of one mind, and we are allies, and now you Qin State actually want to separate our Sanjin relationship, it is impossible. ”
Zhang Yi deliberately asked King Wei with a puzzled expression:
"King Wei, do you think you Sanjin really have one heart?"
Wei Si replied:
"Of course, please don't drive a wedge between our Sanjin in the future!"
Zhang Yi pointed to the northeast with his hand:
"King Wei, have you forgotten to defend the country? I seem to have heard that last time you wanted Zhao Jun to send troops to rescue Guanze, who was attacked by Qi Song, Zhao Jun is a lion opened his mouth, not only to take away the land within a hundred miles of your Wei State and Zhao Realm, but now you have to include the Wei Kingdom in it, can you bear this matter King Wei? ”
Wei Si replied:
"Could it be that when the Five Kingdoms invaded Qin, Qi and Song came to attack our Wei State Guanze, wasn't it instigated by Zhang Xiang?"
Zhang Yi replied:
"Yes, so what, but our Qin State is all open-faced, unlike Zhao State, they are all secretly bad to your Wei State, such a country is the most hateful!"
Wei Si didn't want to argue with Zhang Yi anymore at this time, after all, he couldn't talk about eloquence after all, so he got up directly and said:
"This king is a little tired today, and he has to go back to rest, Qin Xiang, you can do it yourself!"
Zhang Yi saw that King Wei was leaving, so he had to say:
"I, Zhang Yi, will wait for your reply from King Wei in Wei Kingdom, I believe that King Wei will definitely be able to distinguish the situation today!"
