Chapter 16 Folding the Bottle

Zhao Bao chose to be in Xindu and received Wei Poppy with the courtesy of the princes, with the intention of humiliating him. So as to achieve the purpose of avenging the humiliation of the ancestors. Zhao Bao also wanted to see how the invincible man would face this situation. Wei Poppy couldn't stand the humiliation and left angrily, destroying the relationship between the two countries, and the fault was not in Zhao State. Zhao Bao's intentions couldn't hide Wei Pop's eyes. Wei Poppy not only did not get angry when he saw it, but calmly accepted the etiquette prepared by Zhao Guo.

Zhao Bao saw that Wei Poppy was too calm, and wondered in his heart, what was wrong with Wei Poppy, the more he lived, the more confused he became. At the beginning, Zhao Cheng waited for the seed and did not recognize Wei Poppy as the king, and Wei Poppy took Pang Juan as his general and sent troops to fight. The state of Zhao went through the difficulties of Handan. More than 20 years have passed, where is the fierce Wei Poppy.

In the face of Zhao Guo's humiliation, Wei Si felt that his father was too cowardly, how could it be that a seven-foot man did it. If it weren't for Hui Shi's dissuasion, how could Wei Si swallow his anger. For the sake of Wei's national fortunes, Wei Poppy chose to retreat, endure, and let go of his arrogant posture. Wei Poppy exchanged the humiliation of one person for peace between Wei and Zhao. It was also exchanged for the three monarchs of Wei, Han and Zhao to meet each other. It also reopened a door to peace for the Sanjin in the cracks, and the history of the Sanjin Dynasty will also open a new chapter.

Xindu will remain in the history of the Three Jin Dynasty.

The three Jin Dynasty got together, this scene was a long time ago.

During the banquet, Zhao Yong was in the center, Han Hou was on the right, followed by Taizicang and Han Xiang. Wei Hou is on the left, followed by the crown prince's heir, Wei Xianghuishi. The important ministers of Zhao State, according to their ranks, sat down in turn. Prince Han asked in a low voice, "Xiangguo, the young man sitting above is Zhao Jun." Zhao Jun is so young, and he is clearly a child. ”

Han Xiang replied: "Prince, don't think that Zhao Jun despises him when he is young. This boy is not simple! In time, he will dominate the vassal states. ”

Han Cang glanced at Zhao Jun's face again, he was indeed a little wise and martial, between Han Hou and Wei Hou, his demeanor was calm and decent, and he did not lose his status as a monarch. However, Han Cang doubts that Zhao Jun will really be able to dominate the situation in the future. Han Xiang saw that the prince was still listening, and continued: "Zhao Jun is not bullied by others because of his weak national strength. Wei invited Chu Yanqin to participate in the funeral of the ancestor of Zhao State, and his intentions are well known. Zhao Jun chose to break the net with the vassal states and fight hard. Zhao Jun's courage and courage are not very comparable. Perhaps, this is the unique courage of the Zhao family. No matter how difficult the road is, you will not choose to leave the night. Zhao orphans Zhao Wu and Zhao Jianzi Zhao Ying are all dragons among men, and they dominate the political arena of the Jin Kingdom. Although Zhao Jun is young, his ancestors have lost their blood. I also saw the shadow of the ancestor of the Zhao family from Zhao Jun's body. O Prince! You're right, the Han and Zhao alliances are inseparable from each other. In my fool's opinion, I actually said nonsense about giving up Zhao Guo. My previous assertion was wrong. ”

Han Cang doesn't blame him, Han Xiang's starting point is also for the interests of South Korea. It's just that Han Xiang pays too much attention to gains and losses, and he is a little less humane. Han Cang didn't want to hold on to the past, and looked sideways at Wei Poppy, "Wei Hou offended Zhao Guo." Dare to come to Handan, he is not afraid of Zhao Guoxing's questioning. ”

Han Xiang was also a little puzzled: "Wei Hou is in trouble with Zhao Guo." It stands to reason that the relationship between Wei and Zhao has fallen to a freezing point, and the two countries should be incompatible. Zhao Jun not only released his previous suspicions, but also chose to treat Wei Hou with courtesy. Zhao Jun's behavior and style of doing things are incomprehensible. ”

Han Cang said: "Wei and Zhao have reconciled. ”

Han Xiang grinned, "The gap between Wei and Zhao is too deep, and if you want to reconcile, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go." Wei Hou is not a person who easily admits defeat, maybe we will see a good show. ”

Han Cang nodded.

Hui Shi looked at Wei Si and asked in a low voice, "Prince, what do you think of Zhao Jun's virtues?" ”

Wei Si stared at it for a long time, and said, "There is the demeanor of a lord." ”

Hui Shi said: "The king sacrificed too much for the Wei State in exchange for the current situation. One day, you will inherit the throne and keep peace with Zhao. Do not ruin it for your own anger. ”

Wei Si said: "Xiangguo, what do you mean." The humiliation inflicted by Zhao Guo on his father is so settled. ”

Hui Shi said: "Zhao Jun is young, and he still has such courage and courage. In the day of his reign, he will be known to the princes and nations. Fighting with Zhao is not conducive to our country. The prince can know that although he has a relationship with the rich and noble, although he does not lose his identity, he cannot get a few true friends. When you are in trouble, the rich and powerful will abandon you. Fellowship with the poor, although you lose your identity, you can get a piece of Dan's heart. Therefore, making friends should not be based on poverty and wealth. Today, Zhao Guo seems to be poor, but what about tomorrow. The prince has heard that the poor will always be poor. Those who are rich have always been rich. ”

Wei Si had never thought about such an esoteric question, and he was speechless for a while. He stared at Zhao Jun to think about the answer. Wei Houpu, Han Houkang and Zhao Houyong were pleasant and frequently toasted, and the scene was quite harmonious. The two princes, Prince Han and Prince Wei, also met Zhao Jun for the first time. Xindu has gathered many big names from the Three Jin Dynasty.

"Wei Hou, please." Zhao Yong held the wine bottle and said left and right, "Han Hou, please." ”

Wei Hou and Han Hou raised their bottles to each other and said, "Please." ”

Zhao Yong said: "Everyone, please." ”

Everyone raised their bottles in response.

Zhao Yong lifted the bottle and drank it all. Wei Poppy, put down the wine bottle, faced Zhao Yong, and said in an ethereal voice: "Zhao Hou, drinking has no elegance, it's boring." It can be used to entertain the program. ”

Han Hou said with a smile: "Zhao Guomei's long-sleeved waist is bent, I have seen it." ”

Wei Poppy understood the meaning of Han Hou's words, and sighed: "I really envy Han Hou, I can actually witness Zhao Guomei's long-sleeved waist bent." What a pity! Widows are not as lucky as you. ”

Han Hou said: "Wei Hou wants to see Zhao Guo's dancing, it's not difficult." Just drink three glasses of wine and apologize for a previous mistake. Zhao Hou is happy, so let you have a look. ”

When Wei Si heard this, he couldn't sit still. Hui Shi tugged at his sleeve and didn't let him come. Wei Si moved the corners of his lips and said, "Han Hou, we have endured such a humiliation of our father." ”

Hui Shi said: "Prince, don't make mistakes, otherwise it will ruin the king's affairs." ”

Wei Si couldn't swallow this breath a little.

Wei Poppy's face was calm, he raised the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Zhao wine is famous all over the world, and the widow is also happy to drink three altars." Widows remember that the Korean bow and crossbow were powerful, but there was nothing to fear. South Korea can't brew a gyokuro elixir like Zhao wine. ”

Fei Yi saw the dialogue between the monarchs of Han and Wei, and his heart tightened. If there is a dispute between Han and Wei, how should Zhao Jun face it. Alas! It is not appropriate to entertain the two monarchs at the same time.

Zhao Yong looked at Han Zhong at the eunuch behind him. Han Zhong understood, raised his hands, and high-fived three times intermittently. Seven palace maids slowly entered, the palace houses on both sides beat the bells and drums, and the palace maids danced when they heard the sound.

"Okay." Wei Poppy, looking at Zhao Guo's graceful dancing, raised the wine bottle and said, "Zhao Hou, please." ”

Zhao Yong returned the salute, "Please." ”

After five rounds of wine, it is the time when the wine is hot. The people in the hall are all a little drunk. Wei Hou borrowed the strength of the wine and said to Zhao Yong: "Zhao Hou, give a lonely glass of wine to drink." ”

When Hui Shi heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't hold the wine bottle.

Hui Shi frequently used his eyes, but Wei Poppy ignored them.

Hui Shi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are drunk." ”

Wei Poppy said with a smile: "Nonsense, the widow is not drunk." Widow, how can you get drunk. ”

Hui Shi said: "The king is not drunk, how can he say drunken words." ”

Wei Poppy said, "Widow, what do you say?" ”

Hui Shi said: "If the king wants to drink the wine in Zhao Hou's cup, isn't it drunk. ”

Wei Poppy patted his stomach, "Zhao Jun, can the widow drink?" ”

Hui Shi reminded him kindly, and Wei Poppy insisted on drinking the wine in Zhao Jun's cup. The angry Hui Shi stomped his feet. I secretly reproached in my heart, "King, how can you be so confused. Wei Poppy wanted to drink the wine in Zhao Jun's cup, but Zhao Yong didn't think there was anything wrong. So, he turned back and told the courtier, "Fill a glass of wine and hand it to the guest." ”

Wei Poppy smiled, took the wine glass handed over by the courtier, and drank it all. He asked the courtiers to pour a full wine, and said with a little drunkenness: "Send it to Zhao Hou." ”

Han Hou was originally seven points drunk, but when he saw Wei Hou's actions, the whole person instantly sobered up. He looked at Han Xiang. Han Xiang shook his head and motioned not to make a sound. Han Hou didn't see it, and drank to himself with a wine glass.

Gong Zhong said extravagantly: "The ministers of Zhao State, how will they deal with this problem. ”

Zhao Bao, Li Dui, Fei Yi and others on the side also saw all this in their eyes. Zhao Bao saw the courtiers walking towards Zhao Hou with wine, and Zhao Yong did not refuse. Seeing that the monarch was humiliated, he didn't care about etiquette, so he scolded sharply: "Don't throw away this bottle quickly." ”

The courtiers were so frightened by the sudden sound that they scattered their wine on the ground. Wei Poppy pointed at the courtiers and sneered: "Huixiang, you said that the widow is drunk. You see, he didn't drink, and he couldn't even hold the wine bottle steadily. ”

Hui Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yong waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

A bottle of drinking, ordinary people think it's not a big deal. However, Zhao Bao, Hui Shi, and Gong Zhong are in a position of luxury, and no one is as proficient in diplomatic relations as they are. Wei Pop's move was a provocation. Hui Shi understood, and reminded him secretly. Gong Zhong is not stupid, and he motioned to Han Hou and did not make a noise. Zhao Bao saw that the monarch was humiliated and did not know it, so he threatened the courtiers. Fortunately, the courtier spilled the glass of wine. Zhao Yong did not share a drink with others, and he was never humiliated. Wei Poppy faked drunkenness and used drunken language to resolve this crisis.

According to the etiquette system, the monarch is not allowed to drink other people's wine glasses above the banquet. Wei Poppy drank the wine in Zhao Yong's wine bottle, which was disrespectful to Zhao Jun and had contempt. Wei Poppy's approach was nothing more than to test the reaction of the Marquis of Zhao and the ministers of the Zhao State. Zhao Hou didn't know it when he was young, but he was recognized by Zhao Guo's ministers.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes were divided and wars were endless. The Jin State wanted to seek the Qi State, and sent the doctor Fan Zhao to the Qi State to inquire about the reality of the Qi State. Qi Jinggong saw that the envoys of the great powers came and set up a banquet to entertain them. Fan Zhao used the matter of the wine bottle to test Qi Jinggong, and was recognized by Qi Xiangyan Ying. Fan Zhao returned to China and told Jin Pinggong that there were sages in Qi and could not be cut down. Jin Ping listened to this, so he gave up his plan to attack the Qi State.

Later generations praised Qi Xiangyanying's virtuous ability with the words "not out of the bottle, but thousands of miles away". This is the famous folding and punching bottle in the history of the Jin Kingdom, and it is better to use a plan than to use force.

Wei Pop said in his heart: "Zhao has a sage, and he can succeed in attacking Zhao Yan." ”
