The envoy of Zhao is coming?

When he heard the news, Wang Ji was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but ask: "Is it really the envoy of Zhao State?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "This person has a document seal as proof, and he wants to be a messenger."

After Wang Ji heard this, the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Zhao Wang Dan had the name of the overlord, but he was cowardly before fighting, and sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the king." According to the previous practice, I ordered someone to escort him. ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The head of the family misunderstood, the envoy of the Zhao State came not to discuss peace with Qin and Zhao, but to ask to see the head of the family."

At this moment, Wang Jike was really surprised: "What? This Zhao envoy is here to find me? ”

This was not expected by Wang Ji at all.

The housekeeper nodded very seriously and said, "Envoy Zhao has already made it clear that he is indeed here to find the head of the family." ”

Wang Ji's cold sweat immediately fell, and he shouted at the housekeeper: "Don't you know that Qin and Zhao are at war at this moment, and you dare to bring the envoy of Zhao into the mansion so blatantly?" If it is discovered by the subordinates of 'Hou', you and I will be dead!

The position of Taishou of Hedong County can be regarded as barely enough to get the edge of the inner circle of Qin State, so Wang Ji is still very clear about the horror of this 'wait' around Qin Wangji.

The housekeeper paused for a moment and said, "My lord doesn't know, the messenger didn't directly show his identity to visit, but came with the token of Gongsun Sun Chu, if it weren't for the subordinates who saw that his accent was wrong and interrogated him, he still refused to say his identity." ”

After hearing this, Wang Ji sat there, his face cloudy.

Gongsun, that is, the grandson of the king.

Gongsun Zi Chu refers to a grandson of the monarch named Zi Chu.

The name Zi Chu may sound a little unfamiliar, but in the inner circle of the Qin State today, it is not an exaggeration to call this name like thunder.

Because Zi Chu is the heir designated by Zhao Zhu, the current monarch of An Guojun, that is, the person who is likely to become the next generation of Qin kings in the future!

According to Wang Ji's understanding, the original name of this grandson Chu was Yiren, who worked as a proton in Handan, Zhao State, and then somehow caught up with Mrs. Huayang, the main palace of Zhao Zhu, the monarch of An Guojun, and was succeeded by Mrs. Huayang as a son, and his name was changed from Yiren to Zichu.

Therefore, Gongsun Sun Chu is actually Gongsun Yiren.

Because of such an experience of being a proton in Handan, Zhao State, it seems that there is nothing surprising that this grandson Chu and Zhao Guoren can catch up.

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, made up his mind, and said, "In this case, bring that Zhao envoy!" ”

Not to mention anything else, Gongsun Tzu Chu's face still has to be given.

Anyway, even if the above asks at that time, Wang Ji only needs to tell the truth.

A moment later, the envoy of Zhao entered the study.

Wang Ji took a closer look and found that the opposite side had a black beard, a wide robe and big sleeves, and his every move had his own bearing, which was obviously not an ordinary messenger.

The person who came saluted Wang Ji and said straight to the point: "Zheng Zhu, a pedestrian from Zhao Guoda, has seen the county guard. ”

"Daxing Zheng Zhu?" Wang Ji was really surprised.

Daxingren is an official position, referred to as "Daxing", and in later terms, it is "Minister of Foreign Affairs".

This is no ordinary lobbyist, but a rather weighty lobbyist.

Why did Zhao send such an important minister?

Wang Ji thought in his heart, and at the same time returned the salute and invited Zheng Zhu to sit down, and then said: "I don't know what happened here?" ”

Zheng Zhu smiled slightly and said, "To save the county's life." ”

Wang Ji felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned, and said, "Why did Daxing say this? ”

Zheng Zhu looked at Wang Ji's appearance, and said, "The county guard really doesn't know that the crisis has arrived?" ”

Wang Ji was annoyed in his heart, and his tone was a little unhappy: "If Zhao State does not send troops to attack Hedong, there is no crisis in my life." ”

In Wang Ji's opinion, this Zhao people not only sent troops to attack, but also came to threaten themselves, which was too much!

"Really?" Zheng Zhu was not angry after hearing Wang Ji's rebuttal, but laughed: "The county guards this statement, and it is false!" Don't you know that the difficulty of guarding the county is in Xianyang and not in Handan! ”

Wang Ji snorted and was noncommittal.

Zheng Zhu continued: "Everyone in the world knows that the reason why the county guard can be the county guard of Hedong County, why not? It's because of Qin Xiang Fan Sui! Now that Fan Sui is about to die, if Fan Sui dies, the county guard is Fan Sui's party, and he may be fine? Therefore, in Zhu's view, it is difficult to defend the county, and it is difficult to live in Xianyang. ”

When Wang Ji heard Zheng Zhu's words, he was first shocked in his heart: "Fan Jun is in trouble? ”

Fan Sui is Wang Ji's backer.

But Wang Ji reacted immediately, snorted and said, "It's nonsense! Fan Xiangnai is an important minister of the Qin State and has won the trust of the king, how can he be in danger of dying? ”

Zheng Zhu smiled and said, "Zhu dared to ask the county guard, back then, Wei Ran, the marquis, won the favor of the king, how is it better than waiting for Fan Sui?" How does the weight of its power and reputation compare to its waiting? ”

Wang Ji kept his mouth shut.

Zheng Zhu continued: "In the past, the grace and power of the marquis were far better than the many waiters, but they were not exempt from death, so why not? Because of the battle between Yan and Yan, Qin was defeated by Zhao Ye. Now in the Battle of Changping, Qin was also defeated by Zhao. And the defeat of Changping is far better than the defeat of Yan and He. If the marquis dies because of the defeat of the marquis, then he should wait for the defeat of Changping, what should he do? ”

Cold sweat began to break out on Wang Ji's forehead, and after a few breaths, he said, "Even if there is a difficulty, what can I do!" ”

Zheng Zhu laughed and said, "Why should the county guard deceive himself? No one in the Qin State knows that the county guard is a cronie, and if he should wait for his death, the county guard should also be connected. ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Ji broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly slapped the table in front of him hard, and said sharply: "My loyalty to the king can be learned from heaven and earth!" The king will not be implicated in this! ”

Zheng Zhu stared at Wang Ji with extremely playful eyes, and said: "Zhu just wants to ask the county guard, in the past, the four nobles of the marquis, all those whose official positions were above the county order, can one of them survive now?" ”

As soon as Zheng Zhu's words came out, Wang Ji's whole person seemed to be struck by a heavenly thunderbolt, and he was completely frozen in an instant.

The fate of the Marquis Wei Ran's four noble families back then, Wang Ji couldn't be more familiar.

All the ministers who are related to the four nobles and one line are either beheaded by one person, or the whole family, or even the whole clan.

Under the butcher's knives wielded by Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, the four nobles and one family of the Qin State that used to call for wind and rain and omnipotence have long been completely cut down and eradicated.

So if one day Fan Sui really falls into the same fate as Wei Ran, then Wang Ji has no doubt that he who has been marked by Fan Sui's cronies will be beheaded if he is lucky, and if he is unlucky, he will be punished by the clan!

Thinking about it, Wang Ji didn't know when he was already sweaty and heavy.

Zheng Zhu looked at Wang Ji who was covered in cold sweat, and smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the time had come.

The next moment, Zheng Zhu spoke unhurriedly.

"Zhu has a plan, he can save the county guard's life, I wonder if the county guard is willing to listen?"
