The king of Qin took Gongzi Fu into Qi as the hostage, and Jingguo Juntian Wen as the phase. From a closer look, it seems that the king of Qin suppressed the eight sons of Mi, weakened the power of the ministers of Chu, and then consolidated the royal power. But from a long-term and strategic point of view. The strategy of the King of Qin is not a strategy to consolidate and strengthen the alliance between Qi and Qin, and to attack the Zhao State from the east and west.

During the reign of Marquis Su of Zhao, Zhao was at war with Wei and Qi in the east and Qin in the west. Zhao was defeated in both battles, lost its troops and lost its territory. This fiasco not only hit Zhao Suhou's ambitions, but also caused Zhao Suhou to contract a serious illness. A few years later, Zhao Suhou came to the end of his life with hatred.

Qi and Qin came together again, which was the last thing Zhao Guo wanted to see.

As the king of a country, Zhao Yong can't certainly look at the surface of the problem, but also seek the overall situation, see far-reaching, and have a strategic vision.

The Qi people are the prime ministers of Qin, and they are bound to strengthen their relations with the Qi state. Once there is a change in the world, Qi and Qin exchange news. This is undoubtedly a potential threat to Zhao Guo. Zhao Yong saw the threat, and he wanted to eliminate the factors that were unfavorable to Zhao Guo. So, Zhao Yong ordered Zheng Mu Jian to find Qiu Liquid.

Seeing that the monarch did not let Lou slow down into Qin, but chose Qiu Liquid, Prince Zhang asked, "This time I interfere in Qin's internal affairs." Your Majesty, why don't you let Lou slow down to envoy Qin. ”

Sima Wangzu also said: "Five years ago, we intervened in Qin's internal affairs, and Lou Yan's eldest son system slapped Mi Bazi in a resounding slap. Lou Xuan is familiar with Qin State, and letting him go is the best candidate. ”

Fei Yi also said: "General Yunzhong is reasonable, Lou Shu goes to Qin, and he is the best candidate." ”

Zhao Yong shook his head and said, "A few years ago, Lou Shu slapped Mi Bazi with a loud slap. Now, Lou Slow went to the Qin State, wouldn't it aggravate the contradiction with Mi Bazi. ”

When Sima Wangzu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "The words of the king are not unreasonable. It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, how did I forget about it. ”

Fei Yi reminded with a smile: "General Yunzhong, this sentence has reached the ears of the Jinyang County Lord, you have good fruits to eat." ”

Zhao Yong also added fuel and vinegar and said: "Sima Wang, how can you speak ill of the Jinyang County Lord? ”

Sima Wangzu saw that Jun Shang and Zhao Xiang were happy with themselves, so he changed the topic and said: "Your Excellency, we have seen the means of killing Empress Hui and others. Mi Bazi is a powerful character. If you underestimate her, you will suffer a big loss. ”

"Mi Bazi killed Empress Hui and the clan surnamed Qin Guoying, and the means were ruthless and cruel. However, this woman was able to stand out from a humble position. Naturally, they are resourceful and courageous. Zhao Yong shuddered in his heart, "The State of Qin and the State of Chu first concluded a Kundi, and then married a woman from Chu to break the balance of the Central Plains. Hit Han, Wei, and attack Xiongchu. The decree of the Qin State came from the eighth son of Mi. This woman is not only vicious and cruel, but also proficient in strategy. The opponent of the widow is her, how dare she be careless. This is also the reason why the widow did not let Lou slow down to go to the Qin State. ”

Prince Zhang asked: "Mi Bazi is difficult, and Lou should be allowed to deal with it." ”

"Lou is scheming and good at commanding troops. However, Lou Zhuan's biggest shortcoming is that he has an upright temperament and doesn't know how to hide his edge. The widow took Lou Yan as an envoy and went to the Qin State, which was also a provocation to the eighth son, and it would also anger the King of Qin. The Qin people saw that we were meddling in the Qin State again. In turn, it will arouse the hatred of the Qin people towards us. And the most important reason is that Lou is slow, and he has to deal with things in the clouds and Jiuyuan for the widow. ”

Prince Zhang asked, "Why did Father Jun choose to let Qiu Li go to Qin?" ”

"Qiu Liquid is full of strategy, but he knows how to restrain his own light." Zhao Yong said again: "He is in the Qin State, and he can skillfully maneuver between the eighth son and the king of Qin, and he can meet the source left and right. Qiu Liquid goes to Qin, which can alleviate the emotions of the Qin people against us, and also allow Mi Bazi to balance the King of Qin. At the same time, to achieve the goal of stopping Qin and Qi. ”

Not long after, Mu Jian and Qiu Li walked into the hall and said in unison: "Minister, please see your lord." ”

Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, sit down." ”

"Thank you."

Zhao Yong looked at Qiu Liquid and said with a smile: "Qiu Liquid, the widow has a hard job to hand over to you." ”

Qiu Ye asked: "The king has an order, and the minister dare not obey." ”

"Widows like your hearty personality." Zhao Yong said with a smile: "Qiu Li, envoy to the Qin State for the widow." ”

Qiu Li replied, "Oh." ”

Seeing that he agreed so happily, Zhao Yong asked, "Why don't you ask why the widow sent you to Qin State and what you did when you went to Qin State." ”

Qiu Ye Zhengse said: "As a courtier, you only need to fulfill the mission assigned by the king. ”

Zhao Yong nodded with satisfaction, "The widow learned that King Qin invited Qi people to be prime ministers. If the Qi people become the Qin Minister, it will inevitably be detrimental to our country. The widow wants you to go to Qin to prevent Qi and Qin from making friends. ”

Qiu Ye asked, "Your Majesty, how can the minister stop Qin and Qi from making friends." ”

Zhao Yong didn't answer, but asked: "This is also the meaning of the widow looking for you." Qiu Liquid, there can be a strategy, separating Qin and Qi. ”

Qiu Li thought for a moment and replied, "The minister has an idea. ”

Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "You say." ”

"The court of the Qin State is complex, divided into the Wang Party and the Later Party, but all the power of the Qin State is in the hands of the Later Party. If we want to separate Qin and Qi, we need to befriend the Hou Party headed by Mi Bazi. King Qin's power is not as good as that of Mi Bazi, but he is the king of Qin after all. The King of Qin still has a certain weight when he speaks in the Qin State. Whether it is Mi Bazi or King Qin, we can't offend. ”

Prince Zhang thought for a moment and interjected: "King Qin and Mi Bazi are not easy to deal with. What can we do so that neither of us can be offended, and we can achieve the goal of separating Qi and Qin. ”

"Although the eighth son and the king of Qin are mother and son. However, in his early years, King Qin sent an envoy to Yan as a hostage, and he was not close to Mi Bazi. Mi Bazi and King Qin restrained each other, fighting openly and secretly. This is no secret in the Qin State. ”

Prince Zhang said: "It is said that there are two tigers in the Qin State, one is the eighth son of Mi, and the other is the king of Qin. ”

"Not bad." Qiu Ye said again: "King Qin invited Qi people to be prime ministers, just to suppress Mi Bazi and others. In order to protect his rights, Mi Bazi will also suppress the Qin State. King Qin and Mi Bazi are not compatible, and we can achieve the goal that our country wants with a little use. ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he let out a hearty laugh.

Prince Zhang, Fei Yi, and Sima Wang also laughed.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Qiu Ye asked, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is not right. ”

Prince Zhang replied: "Lord Qiu, what you said is too right. Father Jun is right, you are the best person to envoy to the Qin State. ”

Qiu Ye suddenly realized, it turned out that the monarch had already seen the situation of the Qin State clearly. But in front of the king, the class got the axe, and instantly felt ashamed, "Minister, talking nonsense, the king is not strange." ”

"The words of hatred are deeply attached to the meaning of the widow, how can it be nonsense." Zhao Yong made a national salute and asked, "The burden of envoying to the Qin State will be handed over to you." ”

Qiu Liquid replied: "Minister, live up to the king's trust." ”

Fei Yi asked: "Your Majesty, when you go to the Qin State, you must always have a justifiable reason. If we go to the Qin State like this, the Qin people will not welcome it. ”

"Fei Yi is right. To go to the Qin State, of course, you have to find a reason. Zhao Yong looked at everyone and said, "Yingjian has gone through four dynasties. He is also a famous king of Qin Hui who can recruit and fight well. Yingjian has made outstanding achievements, and he is a clan surnamed Qin Guoying. Mi Bazi dared to kill Empress Hui, as well as those who opposed the clan surnamed Ying. But I don't dare to fight the idea of winning the disease. The status of Yingji, no one in the Qin State can shake it. The king of Qin invited Qi people to be the prime minister. Illness and death are not long. ”

Fei Yi saw that Jun Shang was able to launch the victory of the famous general and Ming Xiang of the Qin State, and his life was short, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Junshang, you're back." ”

Prince Zhang asked, "Father Jun has already thought of a reason to send an envoy to the Qin State. ”

"The news of Ying's death will reach our country, and it will be the day we go to Qin." Zhao Yong looked at everyone's surprised eyes, and replied with a calm expression: "In a few days, the news of Ying's death will reach Handan." In order to avoid Qi people entering Qin as a phase, it became a foregone conclusion. Qiu Liquid sent an envoy to the Qin State in advance. ”

Qiu Li saw that the king had arranged carefully, and said, "Oh." ”

Qiu Ye returned to the mansion and prepared to pack his bags, and the doorman Song Gong saw him and asked, "Where is the head of the family?" ”

The doorman Song Gong is deeply trusted by Qiu Li, and he is also a powerful doorman of Qiu Li. Qiu Li saw that the other party was asking, and he did not hide it, and he replied: "Today, the king summoned me into the palace and gave me a chore. The king ordered me to go to the Qin State and separate Qi and Qin. ”

Song Gong pondered for a moment and asked, "Why does the monarch want the head of the family to go to Qin and separate Qi and Qin." ”

Qiu Ye replied helplessly: "King Qin invited Qi people to be the prime minister. The king believes that it will threaten the interests of our country. ”

Song Gong asked: "Why did the monarch choose the head of the family and not the building." ”

"I don't know." Qiu Ye smiled: "Your Excellency thinks that my ability is outstanding!" ”

"The head of the house must have forgotten. Lou Yan is the king's right-hand man. The monarch succeeded to the throne, and the Five Kingdoms Tu Zhao. The king used the strategy of breaking the net to meet the envoys of the five countries. Jun Shang promoted Hufu riding and shooting, and Lou Xuan was also a strong supporter. The king intervened in the Qin State, and Lou slowly used the elder system, and he was angry and angry. Lou Yan's talent, compared with the head of the family, who is more powerful. ”

Qiu Ye thought for a moment and replied, "My talent is not as good as Lou Yan." ”

"Lou Xuan knows the Qin State better than the head of the family, and the monarch chooses the head of the family instead of Lou Zhuan. The head of the house thinks this is why. ”

Qiu Ye thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out the reason, and his expression was very helpless. If the king acts, how can others know. As a courtier, you just need to do what the king explains. As for why Zhao Jun chose him instead of Lou Zhuan. Qiu Li couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it.

Song Gong understands Qiu Li's personality, and as a guest, he also has to give advice to the head of the family, "When the head of the family goes to the Qin State, how can he say that the King of Qin is separated from Qi and Qin." ”

Qiu Liquid is not a foolish person, so he naturally understands that this errand is not easy, and he said with a stiff expression: "The situation in the Qin Dynasty is complicated, and this trip is also difficult. The king wants me to take Wei Ran as the prime minister, and then divide Qin and Qi. ”

"You know it's going to be difficult, and you take on this hard job. Should I say that you don't know the times, or should I say that you rise to the occasion? Duke Song took this sentence to heart, and asked calmly: "The King of Qin invited Qi people to be prime ministers in order to suppress and weaken the power of Chu ministers such as Mi Bazi. The proposal of the head of the family to take Wei Ran as the prime minister would anger the King of Qin. If the head of the family can't separate Qi and Qin, he will lose Zhao Jun's favor. The head of the house knows what the consequences will be. ”

Qiu Li smiled bitterly: "I didn't know what the consequences would be. But the king's fate is hard to disobey! ”

Duke Song also knew Zhao Jun, and he was also helpless for the head of the family, so he expressed deep sympathy, and offered advice: "The head of the family went to the Qin State, and in the face of the King of Qin, he didn't say a word about my country's Wei Ran. ”

Qiu Li smiled bitterly: "I don't mention how to do it. ”

Duke Song looked at Qiu Liquid and replied, "The head of the family has mentioned it, and King Qin will ignore it." will also think that the monarch interfered in the Qin State and angered the King of Qin. King Qin doesn't dare to make things difficult for you, but he can vent all his anger on you. ”

"That's true, according to you." Qiu Liquid asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Zhang Yi and his ilk can eat with one mouth. They just speak in front of men, and they talk nonsense behind them. The head of the family went to the Qin State, and the King of Qin said whatever he wanted to hear. If King Qin doesn't want to hear it, don't mention it. ”

"Having said that, how can I separate Qi and Qin, and how can I return my life to the king."

"The head of the family only needs to show the king's mind to Mi Bazi."

"What do you mean is that I borrowed the power of Mi Bazi to suppress the King of Qin, so as to achieve the goal of the king."

"It's hard to say what the personality of King Qin is. But what kind of character Mi Bazi is, all the princes know. King Qin's invitation to Qi people will also threaten the power of Mi Bazi and others. Why don't we borrow Mi Bazi to suppress King Qin. Song Gong smiled and said: "The person King Qin is most afraid of, but it is Mi Bazi." ”

Qiu Liquid groaned for a while and replied, "I understand what Mr. means. The king has entrusted me with this chore, and I will do my best to do it well. Sir, we should also make more preparations for the envoy to Qin. ”

The next day, Qiu Liquid set foot on the Qin State.

Three days later, the news of Qin Guoying's death reached Handan.

When Zhao Jun heard the news of Ying's death, he said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Five years ago, the widow took Gongzi Ji as the king and intervened in Qin's internal affairs openly. Five years later, the widow used the same means to intervene in the Qin State. The widow interfered openly in the Qin State, and the Qin people could do anything about me. ”
