Chapter 65: The Marriage of Chu and Wei

King Wei Xiang's face was complicated and said, "No courtesy." ”

"King Xie." Gongsun Yan straightened up.

"I wonder why the rhino head came from?" King Wei Xiang asked.

Gongsun Yan smiled and said: "The king, the minister came to Wei on the order of the king of Chu this time, and he came to give gifts to the king. ”

"Give a gift!" King Wei Xiang smiled: "I don't know why the King of Chu gave a widow?" ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Great King, the king of Chu favored Wei Meiren, and because of Wei Meiren, he modified the corporal punishment handed down from ancient times. Not long ago, Wei Meiren now heard that Wei was at war with Qi State, and they were worried that Wei State was in a long-term war, which made the king and the left and right upset, so they were worried, unable to sleep and eat, and secretly sad. ”

"The king of Chu took pity on Wei Meiren, so he sent Wei Chen to inquire if the king needed the help of the state of Chu. Before Weichen left the state of Chu, the king of Chu specially instructed that the state of Chu was willing to re-establish friendship with the state of Wei and was about brothers, but the king of Wei was invited, and the state of Chu was willing to solve problems for the state of Wei. ”

As soon as Gongsun Yan's words fell, Zhai Qiang laughed out loud and sneered: "The feelings of the Chu State towards Wei Meiren are really stronger than Jin Jian, and they move the heavens and the earth, I am afraid that the ancient Xia Wei Shang Zhou You cannot be compared with the King of Chu." ”

"Although the king of Chu looks down on our Wei country, but there is such a king of Chu in Chu country, I am afraid that the day will come when the country will die, and our Wei country will not be able to climb high, and we will not dare to climb high."

When King Wei Xiang heard this, he was furious and said, "Bold. ”

Although King Wei Xiang also thinks that if the King of Chu is such a person, I am afraid that he can really be compared with those faint monarchs in ancient times.

But if the person favored by the King of Chu was Wei Meiren and his sister, then the situation would be different.

King Wei Xiang sat on the side of King Chu as soon as he sat on his buttocks, and immediately reprimanded Zhai Qiang.

Zhai Qiang saw that King Wei's face was full of anger, and immediately remembered that Wei Meiren was King Wei's sister.

"The king forgives the sin, the minister does not speak, and the capital crime is a capital crime." Zhai Qiang bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty to the King of Wei.

King Wei Xiang's anger did not decrease, and he said sharply: "As an important minister of Wei, in the face of foreign envoys and insulting the king of other countries, can you know the etiquette?" Don't retreat yet, lest you be embarrassed here. ”

"King!" Zhai Qiang looked at King Wei in horror.

When King Wei Xiang saw Zhai Qiang looking over, he waved his hand at him and did not speak.

Seeing this, Lou Su immediately pleaded for Zhai Qiang and said: "King, although Zhai Qiang is disrespectful, for the sake of his first offense, please forgive him this time." ”

Although Lou Su's views were different between Qi and Chu, they both belonged to the pro-Qin faction, and Sun Yan was not on the same front as Hetian Gonggong.

After Lou Su, many pro-Qin ministers interceded on behalf of Zhai Qiang.

Seeing this, King Wei Xiang's face was slightly soothed, and he said, "That's it, since there are Zhongqing interceding for you, forget it this time." ”

King Xiang of Wei made such a fuss, and the ministers of Wei immediately knew that King Wei's intention to make friends with Chu State was in agreement.

"I don't know what the ministers think of the re-acquaintance between our Wei State and the Chu State, about the matter of brothers."

Tian Xu said: "King, it is natural for Chu and Wei to intersect, but the minister has a question and wants to ask the Chu envoy." ”

King Wei Xiang nodded and said, "I don't know if Xiangguo has any questions?" ”

Tian Xu asked Gongsun Yan: "Dare to ask the envoy of Chu, now that the country of Qi is unkind, it is the harm of the world, and the king of Chu also intends to call?" ”

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "Qi is a big country in the world, and Chu is also a big country in the world, and it is not impossible for Chu to send troops to Qi." ”

"But before, our Chu State and Qi State were allies, and now if Chu State wants to send troops to Qi State, we are only worried that the division will be nameless. Now the State of Qi is brutalizing the State of Yan and persecuting the State of Wei, if our State of Chu can form an alliance with the State of Wei, then the soldiers of the State of Qi forcing the State of Wei is a provocation to our State of Chu, as long as there is a request from your country, our State of Chu has the name of sending troops, and we can send troops to help Wei attack Qi. ”

Tian Xu nodded and said, "If the Chu State intends to send troops to the Qi State, then the alliance between Chu and Wei is naturally inevitable. It's just that Chu and Qi were allies before, and in order for Chu and Wei to strengthen their trust in each other, in my opinion, Chu and Wei need to make an appointment with each other first, and then form an alliance. ”

Gongsun Yan said strangely: "Dare to ask Xiangguo, isn't Wei Meiren serving the King of Chu in Chu State now?" Does Xiangguo think that the two countries of Chu and Wei are not considered to be married now? ”

Tian Xu shook his head and said: "The rhino head has misunderstood, I mean to let Chu and Wei get closer to each other, and the relationship between the two countries will go further." ”

Gongsun Yan said thoughtfully: "Please explain it in detail." ”

Tian Xu said: "I heard that now the prince of Chu is about to perform the crown ceremony, but there is no marriage contract in his body, and my King Wei has a daughter, and he is about to reach the year of Jilu, and he also has no marriage contract. ”

"In order to express the absolute unity of the Chu State, please make an appointment for marriage first, and then form an alliance."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan looked at King Wei and asked, "Does the king also have this intention?" ”

King Wei Xiang nodded and said, "The meaning of Xiangguo is the meaning of widowhood. ”

As soon as Gongsun Yan heard it, he knew what Tian needed to pay attention to, this was the time for Wei to delay the alliance.

The crown prince of Chu will not perform the crown ceremony until next year, and the Wei State will marry first in the alliance, so the time will definitely drag on until next year.

For the future, who can say for sure, Gongsun Yan asked himself, what will happen in three hours, you can still speculate about it, what will happen in three days will be a little vague, and what will happen in three months, you can only take it for granted, let alone next year.

However, the matter of Chu forming an alliance with Wei is not the goal of Chu, but only a means of persecuting Qin, and since Wei wants to marry first, then naturally the goal of persecuting Qin can be achieved.

And as Tian Xu himself said, if the prince of Chu can marry Princess Wei, then Chu and Wei will inevitably be close to each other.

After Gongsun Yan communicated, he said to the king of Wei: "Thanks to the king's refusal to give up, I am willing to marry the prince of our country with the princess, and the state of Chu is willing to marry the princess of Wei as the crown princess." ”

After the two countries reached an agreement, Gongsun Yan came out of the Chu palace and immediately sent someone to report back to the king of Chu.

The next day, Gongsun Yan sent a guest Zhong Wu to envoy Zhao with great fanfare, and he continued to stay in Wei and continued to hook up with Wei, preparing to implement the marriage between Chu and Wei.

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

After Xiong Huai got Gongsun Yan's return, it took a while to react, it turned out that his cheap son, the prince was about to become an adult, and he could marry a daughter-in-law...

In the main hall, Xiong Huai convened the ministers to discuss.

"The rhino head sent back the news from the Wei State, and the Wei State promised to form an alliance with our Chu State, but there was one condition, which required our Chu State and Wei State to marry, and asked the prince to marry the princess of Wei State." Xiong Huai said with a smile.

Jing Lixi said: "King, congratulations, now that the Wei State has agreed to form an alliance with our Chu State, then our plan will be successful." And the news that Wei asked to marry our Chu State was even more unexpected. Since the king of Wei is willing to marry a woman, our Chu State is naturally willing to welcome a woman, and ask the king to send an envoy to ask Wei to marry him. ”
