The water in the copper tripod didn't boil for long before the water began to boil, and after the tulip and atractylodes were smashed, they were all thrown in, and the water vapor and medicinal incense were steamed together and dispersed in the Qutai palace court. Listening to the boiling sound of water in Dingnei, Zhao Zheng's right leg trembled unconsciously.

After Yin Yuli, the doctor of the Chu State, healed many people after entering Qin, and even Yan Wuyi, whose face was in tatters, was saved, but he just didn't want to leave to treat his injuries, and before the good doctor of Yan Guo arrived, he chose the most cruel method of water burning.

Most of the treatments in this era are external and internal therapies, and they have not yet evolved to the era of drinking traditional Chinese medicine. When the boiling potion is slightly cooler, the patient will soak it in the hot potion and boil it. Zhao Zheng has been burned several times, and the wound is neither good nor bad, but at least the so-called 'gangrene poison and blood' has not occurred.

"Please come to the king to heal your wounds." The medicine in the ding was almost cold, and Xia Wu invited Zhao Zheng to enter the ding.

"No." Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth again, and the hand holding the qi qi was also tightened. After sending his wife away, the light yarn between the crotch was removed by the temple people and carried into the dingzhong.

"Ah——!h The hot potion soaked Zhao Zheng screamed, and his whole body tensed up. Fortunately, the scalding water will paralyze the nerves, and after a while he will stop screaming, just clenching his teeth. It's a pity that the pain is not over, and it hasn't even officially begun - Xia Wuhe also entered the Ding, he held a copper knife in his hand, picked up Zhao Zheng's injured leg in the Ding and began to scrape.

The copper knife was not sharp, and every time it was scraped, it made Zhao Zheng roar. If it weren't for the temple people preparing a piece of title in advance, Zhao Zheng's teeth would probably have been crushed. Although Xia Wuhe, who was in charge of scraping the carrion, did not shout, he was also sweating profusely, the king must treat his injuries like this, and he had to scrape the carrion for the king.

In Zhao Zheng's shout, the potion in the ding gradually became cooler, and Xia Wuhe, who noticed the temperature dropping, shouted below, and the charcoal fire that was removed was placed under the ding to burn, and when the temperature was almost there, Xia Wuhe asked the temple people to remove the charcoal fire. At this time, Zhao Zheng's shouting was much weaker, and the newborn carrion on his thighs was basically scraped off.

"Please soak the king for two more hours." Xia Wuhe got up and told the weak Zhao Zheng, and then he went down carefully.

"Tell the king......" The voice came from Mingtang, "The envoy of the Jing State asked to see the king, saying that the power of the Jing State is no longer in the hands of the King of Jing, and the new commander Yin Xi Gongcheng is willing to make friends with my Qin State and break ......off diplomatic relations with the Qi State."

The word Jing Guo is like a copper scraper in Xia Wuhe's hand, which stimulates Zhao Zheng, who is sleeping with his eyes closed. He wanted to speak, but was blocked by the title in his mouth, spit out the title and asked urgently, "How is Jing Guo?" ”

"The king, the state of Jing or the chaos, the county prince of Xixian County Chengjie seized the government of the king of Jing, and it has been Ling Yin." Suddenly knelt in the bright hall and excitedly confessed. His mistake is understandable, and there has never been such a transfer of power among the countries under heaven.

"Good! Great goodness! Zhao Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this. The pain he is suffering now is all given by the defeat of the king of Chu of Chu, and the king of Chu was seized of power by his subordinates, and this kind of thing naturally makes him very happy. "Summoning the envoys of the Jing Kingdom."

"The King." Xia Wuhe was still in the middle court, and it was really inappropriate for the king to summon the envoys of Jing State like this.

"Quickly summon the courtiers to Zhangtai Palace." Zhao Zheng also woke up, he couldn't summon Jing envoy Yu Dingqian, this was a joke for the people of Jing to see him.

"Summon—the envoys of the Jing State go to the palace." In Zhangtai Palace, the voice of the servant came down from afar, the Qin Palace was majestic, and Shoulingjun Shouyi, who was standing on the outer screen of the Gao Gate, and Yang Chun, the younger brother of Yang Wenjun, heard the voice of calling himself to the palace for a while. Under the leadership of the Qin State Confessor, the two began to climb up layer by layer. It took half an hour to ascend the stairs and ascend to the hall, and I saw Zhao Zheng sitting on the top of the main bed.

"The envoy of the state of Jing is Shouyi, and the envoy of the state of Jing is the envoy of the state of Jing, and the minister Yang Chun meets the king." Under the eyes of the ministers, the two of them bowed to Zhao Zheng in a proper manner.

"Is my Qin State so hot, and your envoy so sweaty?" Zhao Zheng could see at a glance that these two people were not the kind of talkers, but genuine envoys of the Jing State, so he planned to make fun of them.

"The king, the ministers are ......" Shou Lingjun was originally a stupid person, he stammered here, and the nerd Yang Chun was as nervous as Qin Wuyang when he arrived at Zhangtai Palace, so he only cowered and said: "The ministers are not hot." ”

"Hahahaha!" According to the usual practice, any envoy from another country must first mock or argue with the courtiers in the court, and he is not a lobbyist who has seen the world, and he must not be dismissed. One person laughed, a hundred people laughed, and the two were laughed by Qin Chen even more.

Shouling Jun Shouyi is worthy of being a strong and simple person, when he heard the laughter, he pouted, and said angrily: "Although Jing and Qin are at war, we are all pro-Qin, and now the king Rong courtiers ridicule the ministers and others, and the ministers and others resigned." ”

Shou Lingjun turned around and left, Yang Chun saw that he didn't stay like this, so he stayed for a while before following him. Qin Chen didn't smile anymore, but his face was full of astonishment, they had never seen such a strong and simple person. However, the right prime minister Xiong Qiyi said: "Your lord, Jing Envoy is not a good debater, but the feudal monarch of Jing State." Its chief envoy had seen it in Yingdu, and he was the Shouling King of Jing State, and he was not able to do it against King Jing. ”

"Please come back." It was just a convention to indulge the courtiers to ridicule, and Zhao Zheng didn't expect Jing Envoy to be so thin-skinned, so he smiled and left.

"The king asks the envoy to return to the palace." Shou Lingjun had already descended the steps, and when the confessor came to tell him, his expression was still indignant, but fortunately, Yang Chun persuaded him a few words next to him, and then he turned around and climbed the steps. This time Qin Chen really didn't laugh, only Zhao Zheng was asking.

"Jing Guo really wants to kiss my Qin State and break off relations with Qi State?" As soon as Zhao Zheng asked, hundreds of pairs of eyes all looked at Shou Yi.

"Yes, yes." Shou Yi agreed without hesitation. "The contempt of the country Ling Yin is also willing to renew the good fortune of Jing Qin and marry the princess of Qin as the queen of our country."

"Oh." Zhao Zheng was a little surprised, "Who is the king of Jing Kingdom now, is it Xiong Jing or Xiong Qiang?" ”

"The king, the widow is still the previous widow, and the prince is not the king." Shou Yi's answer surprised Zhao Zheng and Qin Chen even more, and he had to explain: "The widow of the contempt country has lost his power, and the contempt of the country makes Yin think that the abolition of the king is very big, and it is better not to abolish it." ”

"Oh-" Qin Chen woke up for a while, and they instantly understood what Shou Yi meant, this was actually the dictatorship of the ministers, which was not uncommon.

"May I ask the envoy Jing, who is in charge of your country's army and military talismans?" Wei Yi, who was most concerned about the situation in Jing Kingdom, stood up.

"Naturally, it is in the hands of Yin Xigong." Shou Yi's original confession is not fake.

"Where's the Great Sima Mansion?" Wei Yi is still not at ease, according to the spy report, the Great Sima Mansion of Chu State is the core of Chu State's military strength.

"Da Sima Mansion Yin was the Marquis of Yi before, and now he is the general Xiang Bo of the Contempt State." Shou Yi replied again.

"Xiang Yan?" Wei Yu was still puzzled, "King Jing treats Xiang Yan well, and he makes Xiang Yan his uncle, why did he rebel?" ”

"Xiang Yan did not participate in the rebellion, but his brother Xiang Que did it." Shou Yi told the truth, "Duke Xi has appointed Uncle Xiang as the governor of the Great Sima Mansion according to the power of the widow, and Uncle Xiang saw that Duke Xi did not kill the king, so he accepted it calmly." ”

"If my Qin army violates the border...... Wei Yu continued to ask.

"If the Qin army invades the border, the county prince can only order the army of the country to block it." Shou Yi's expression tightened, and he couldn't help but warn: "If the Qin army invades the country again, the situation in the country will inevitably change again, and the country will probably no longer be able to pro-Qin." ”

"Your envoy is trying to blackmail me Daqin?" The state of Chu did come to sue for peace, not to surrender, and Wei Yi understood at this time.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just talks about the truth." Shou Yi argued. "The reason why Xi Gong was able to hold great power was to make peace with Great Qin. However, if your country destroys the contemptible country again, those who are watching from the court will fall to King Jing, make an alliance with Zhao Qi, and be an enemy of Qin. ”

"If Gong Xi wants me to help the Qin State, I can also." Zhao Zheng, who also understood the situation in Chu State at this moment, waved his sleeves to stop and wanted to ask Wei Yi again, and began to speak. "However, what kind of benefit can the public give to the widow?"

"Yu Dawang: Xi Gongyan," Shou Yi has been prepared for this. "One of them will break off diplomatic relations with Qi and form an alliance with Qin; The two, if the Qin State defeats the Zhao State, the Contempt State will never save each other; Three, Chen Ying, west of the chasm, can be dedicated to the king as food; Fourth, you can offer the art of iron. ”

What Shou Yi said was real things, not only Qin Chen nodded slowly, but even Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes, what he wanted in his heart was basically these things.

"Ran......" Shou Yi said unexpectedly, "Qin is a big country, and the contempt country is a small country, the first three can be done after the alliance between the two countries, and there are many opponents in the court and the middle of the court, and the alliance will be presented in the following year." ”

"The following year?" Zhao Zheng's eyes widened, and he asked as he sensed some conspiracy. "Why?"

"The ministers of the court don't want it, I'm afraid that the king will get the art of iron and crusade against the country again." Shou Yi said. "Therefore, the prince asked the king to forgive some time, allow him to secretly envelop the craftsmen, and send it to the Qin State."

"What if the public uses this to delay?" When it comes to the art of iron, Zhao Zheng's leg hurts, but he has to use the art of iron.

"If the prince delays, please kill me." Shou Yi is also out of the way, and he has no bottom about Qin Guo in his heart.

"Little-known. If there is nothing else to say, please go to the post house first. Zhao Zheng moved his butt and motioned for Shou Yi to step back.

"The ministers are leaving." Shou Yi and Yang Chun glanced at each other, and when they saw that they had finished speaking, they retreated after bowing, and before they could go down the steps, they heard the sound of Qin Chen's argument in the court. "I'll go to the post house, you should go to Huayang Palace to see the Empress Dowager."

Yang Chun entered Qin not to see the King of Qin, but to see the thorns. When he heard this, he said, "What shall I say?" ”

"What do you say?!" Shou Yi blew his beard, "If you know something, say anything, like me." ”

"Oh." Yang Chun still looks muddy, and Shou Yi can't help it when he looks at him. This time Qin was in a hurry, and when discussing who would go to Qin that day, most of the Yin Gong did not dare to come, but he was not afraid, and he came with a snort. Standing in the court of Zhangtai Palace, he is not afraid, and he will say whatever he knows. The king of Qin is willing to make peace with that, and if he is unwilling to make peace, it is a big deal to fight with the Qin army again.

The only meaning of making Qin is to make the king of Qin understand the current situation of the state of Chu. Then the next thing is not what the state of Chu did, but what the king of Qin wanted to do. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, unconsciously, Shou Yi remembered the king's words.
