Chapter Seventy-Seven: Offense
Gentlemen are never friends, and there is no evil voice; Loyal ministers go to the country, and they don't lose their names. The insult has been unexpected, and the insult to this level is simply breaking through the sky. Before, the ministers knew about the rage, but now the ministers can't react. It wasn't until Tian Ji turned around and went out of the court to go to the court that there was a 'boom' in the court, and it became as chaotic as a big city.
"Qi people insult me, please kill the king!" Qi people humiliated Chu, the most excited was not Dong Yegu who hated Qi, but Zhao Huang, who was the most pro-Qi, in order not to be associated with Qi people, he must immediately make a stand and draw a line with Qi people.
"King, Qi people insult me, why do you help Qi?" Nao was also furious, and his hand was tightly pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he was furious.
"Qi people are rude, when Qi is also killed!" Su Kai jumped out and said. "There is no need for gunboats, and my Vietnamese warships can plunder the land."
"Vazi! When the Varzi! ......"Killing the envoys of Qi is secondary, and the punishment is the most effective way to punish with armor soldiers." Moving the capital and crowning are all great joys of the Chu State, but I didn't expect that on the first day of the king's crowning, the Qi envoy came up to insult him. Whether it is tolerable or intolerable, more and more courtiers agree with the view of the Emperor Kai and the Qi.
The imperial court is like a big market, but Xiong Jing has never spoken. Tian Ji's sentence of 'killing his brother and taking his wife' scolded him in his heart, and it was just a matter of taking his wife, killing his brother was indeed too rude, but the situation at that time did not allow him to think much about it at all.
"Great King......" Chang Jiang reminded softly, he knew that Xiong Jing was in a trance.
"Great king, Qi people are deceitful, and there must be deep meaning in acting like this." In the midst of a crusade, Higashino Guli overrode the public opinion and said loudly.
"!" Yin Pengguan of the giant sun was not angry. "What is the meaning of Qi people? Qi people insult me, the eldest husband can be killed but not humiliated, and Qi must be killed. ”
"Of course, there is no revenge if you don't cut it down." Most of the courtiers are generals, and the generals don't care if you have deep meaning, let's fight first.
"Don't do it!" Lan Hao said urgently. "Li Xintun's troops are hundreds of miles outside the city, how to cut down? If you are going to fight Qi, how can you resist Qin? ”
The State of Qin is a mountain pressing on the head of the State of Chu, and as soon as Lan Hao mentioned resisting Qin, the call of the court to fight Qi suddenly stopped.
"I have a boatman, so I can cut it." Su Wuzhu agrees with Su Kai's point of view, the more Qi is not the right way, the Yue people will go to Langya Port as far north, and then the north will be blocked back by the Qi State. "Yinghai is flat in February, and it can be captured in February."
"No." Lan Xuan said again. "If I attack Qi, the Qi people and the Qin people attack me, what can I do?"
"Indeed, it is impossible to cut down." Dongye Gu agreed with Lan Hao's point of view, "Defeat the Qi people and kill me, and Lu Shi will not be able to return to Mulingguan." ”
"The minister asks the king to send a soldier to protect the envoys, otherwise ......" Among the ministers, in addition to the generals, there are also wise ministers. The well-informed Yin Ele of Exian County said that he wanted to protect the Qi envoy, but before he could speak, a man rushed into the court and shouted: "Tell the king, General Zhuang killed the Qi envoy!" ”
"Ah...... "There is only one general Zhuang in Wangcheng, and that is Zhuang Quji, the general of Xiong Jing's personal guard."
The envoy insulted Xiong Jing, and the most resentful person was not the courtiers, but Xiong Jing's personal guards. When Zhuang went to the court, he stood at the bottom of the steps, and he could faintly hear the voice of the court, and Tian Ji's scolding was very loud, so big that all the armorers under the steps could hear it. Before the court gave an order, the armor couldn't help but want to do it.
Soon after the man shouted, Zhuang Qujian asked to see him outside the hall, and when he came in, he held Tian Ji's head in his hand and bowed: "When the minister hears it, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death." Today, the Qi people insulted the king, and the ministers killed him. However, the Qi people are the envoys of the Qi country, and the ministers are killed without orders, and the capital crime is also a capital crime, so please ask the king to kill the ministers. ”
Qi made Tian Ji go and return, but only the bloody head returned, and the disdainful look he had in the court just now seemed to remain on his face. Zhuang went to the big bow to ask for death, and the eyes of the ministers all looked at Xiong Jing, who was Xiong Jing's private minister.
"Not guilty." Xiong Jing's face changed several times. Although he had long been prepared for the absolute unification, he could not have imagined that the two countries would break up in such a bloody way.
Zhuang Qujian heard that Xiong Jing was innocent, and bowed again: "Please kill the king." ”
"The widow forgives you innocence. At that moment, when the Qi envoy was reined in, he was sent back to the Qi country. Retreat. Xiong Jing had no joy of revenge, he suddenly felt that the Qi envoy had come to Chu this time to touch porcelain. The news of him insulting himself spread, and even if Zhuang didn't kill him, someone else would kill him on the way back to Qi. Once he died, there was no way to restore the diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi.
Ji Ying of Chu State, Xiong Jing retreated from the dynasty without joy, Qi State Linzi, Feixun hurriedly grabbed a look as soon as he arrived in Qi Xiangtian, '...... As soon as the three words 'Kill Tian Ji' came into his eyes, he seemed to be burned by fire and threw away the Xunwen. The prince Tian Sheng next to him picked it up and looked at it again, and his face changed greatly. "How is this good?! In this ......, how can the king of Chu kill my envoys? ”
If there is still some controversy about attacking Zhifu and seizing the fishing boat, then no one dares to object to this kind of thing by killing his own envoys. This is equivalent to saying that there is no suspense about Qi Chu breaking off diplomatic relations, and maybe Qi Chu will attack each other soon.
"Tell the king quickly." Tian Fake Road. The king of Chu did not say that he would not marry Princess Kejia as his wife, but if Qi Chu attacked, Kejia could only marry the king of Qin. "No, no......"
After September, the political scene of the Qi State was unpredictable, and the national politics had been oscillating between the absolute Chu and the pro-Qin, and Tian Ji, who was the envoy to the Chu State, was killed by the Chu people, and the swing had to be forced to be suspended. As soon as Tian Jiao said that he told the king, Tian Sheng immediately understood, and he hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed to the gate of the palace.
"Chu people kill Tian Ji ......" Qi Wang Tian Jian was still a little confused, he had not yet understood what Tian Ji's death meant.
"Father, Tian Ji is my envoy, the Chu people kill Tian Ji, and Qi Chu is absolutely also." Tian Sheng had no choice but to pick up the important ones. "Qi Chu is desperate, and the Qin army is arrayed in Jixi, in order to marry into the Qin State......"
"How can a widow princess marry a tyrant king!" Kejia is Tian Jian's heart, he may be confused when he mentions other things, but when he mentions Kejia, he instantly becomes sober. "How should they force the widow to marry the tyrant king?"
"Father, the prime minister and the military adviser all think that the Qin people want to attack me instead of attacking Chu, but if you enter Qin, the king of Qin will bully him." Tian Sheng also felt sorry for his sister. He, like his father, did not want Kejia to marry into the Qin State.
"The king," said the servant Zeng Quan, "or take the daughter of the clan as a pretence."
"If the Qin people know......" Tian Jian was deeply worried. After the change, the ministers in Qi were strong and the lords were weak, and everything was decided by the ministers; Abroad, the two do not help each other, neither saving Zhao to offend the Qin State, nor offending the Chu State by having a bad relationship with the Chu State. Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Although this result was caused by the change led by the Chu State, the royal court had to rely on the Chu State. Once the reliable reinforcement of the Chu State is lost, the ministers of the Zhengchao may have to kill the monarch and re-establish it. And the Qin State, the Qin State is unreliable, even if the Qin State will assist the royal court, it will also want the land of the Qi State, and will not help it with all its strength like the Chu State.
This is the practical reason why Tian Jian does not want to marry his daughter into the Qin State. But when the situation forced him to make a choice immediately, he didn't have the courage to make a decision.
Tian Jian has been groaning, and Tian Sheng, who knows that it is not too late, hurriedly said: "Please ask my father to summon the military division to discuss, and the military division may have a strange strategy." ”
"Strategist?" Mu Chong's appearance jumped into Tian Jian's mind, and Tian Jian remembered that the great Sima Tianzong said that the military advisor had Sun Bin's talent. "Good. Summoning military divisions, summoning military divisions quickly. Tian Jian waved his hand, and now the only one who can find a way to save his daughter is the military advisor Mu Chong.
"The state of Chu killed my envoys, and the state of Chu killed my envoys......" When the confessor hurriedly left the palace, the singing and dancing in the palace of the capital doctor was flourishing, and the soap officials rushed into the hall as if they were jumping and shouted urgently.
Tian Yang, who was enjoying the dance and drinking, Tian Yang, Anping Jun Tian Gu, Qi Guo Plain Jin Doctor Tian Xuan, Gao Tang Doctor Tian Qi and others were stunned when they heard this, Tian Yang immediately waved back to advocate excellence, and Tian Gu grabbed the person who came: "Where did you get this Xun?" ”
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister's Mansion has received this news." The soap official knew Tian Gu, who was the most close to the people among the doctors.
"Great goodness!" Tian Qiao said happily. "It's amazing. Qi and Qin married, the Qin people fought against Chu, the river mussels competed, and the Qi country benefited. ”
Tian Qi said what everyone thought, and Tian Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Tell the Qin envoy quickly." ”
After the Qin army occupied the land of Zhao, Wang Ao sent an envoy to the state of Qi. Qi Chu has already made enemies, and this time he is sent to stop sneaking around like last time, and can only lobby Tian Qi and Tian Xuan. Last month, he entered Linzi generously with the gift of recruitment, and since then he has been living in the post house, waiting for Wang Qian's army to move south from Zhao and approach the Jixi defense line of Qi.
Jishui flows out of Onoze through Qinzhidong County into Qi Zhihubyi, which is a heavily fortified area of Qi State, and whenever the situation is tense, most of Qi's troops gather here. The Qin army was stationed in Xueling, less than a hundred miles away from Hubyi. At this time, Wang Ao in the post house can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the Qi people to come to see him.
Last time, he had already told him frankly that if he wanted the Qin army not to attack Qi, the condition was that Qin and Qi would marry, and Qi and Chu would break off diplomatic relations, and only if Qi became an ally of Qin, 300,000 Qin troops would withdraw from Dongjun and join forces with Li Xin's army to crusade against Chu.
The Qin State has no faith, but what can the army not do if it is not like this? Even if it rejoins the alliance with the Chu State, the Qin army will still attack the Qi State, and instead of this, it is better to stop Chu and Qin and avoid the current war disaster.
This is not without precedent. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu competed for hegemony, and so did Zheng Guo, which was in the middle of Jin and Chu. When the Jin army came, it formed an alliance with the Jin state, and when the Chu army came, it formed an alliance with the Chu state, sometimes it was an alliance with the Chu state in the first half of the year, and it was allied with the Jin state in the second half of the year; Sometimes it is the opposite, at the end of the year with the Jin state, at the beginning of the year because of the alliance with the Chu state, in the Zheng people's own words, it is called 'only strong to follow'.
The luck of Qi is that it is not between Chu and Qin, but on the edge of the two countries, Wei is between Chu and Qin. As long as the Qin State can withdraw its troops this time, then the Qi State can stay out of the matter for the next few years, more than ten years, or even decades. And the reason why it is not allied with Qin is that Qin cannot be offended, and to offend is to destroy the country. If the state of Chu is otherwise, the state of Chu will not destroy the country, but will only change the law. Most of the Manchu doctors felt that they would rather offend the state of Chu than the state of Qin.
