Once upon a time, when the state of Chu was strong and prosperous to the surrounding countries, all of them were trembling, and no one dared to try the edge, only to show the faces of others.

When did you swallow your anger like that?

Perhaps, in the future, you will have to grovel to the country.

Jia Yi, the era when he was the prime minister was the best era for the Chu State, an era of giving orders, and an era when everyone had to tremble except for the old enemy Wu State.

In the past, it doesn't matter if you suffer a defeat, the state of Chu will definitely send troops again, and it will be enough to fight again.

But this time, the state of Chu couldn't move.

The state of Chu did not dare to fight.

Chu State, it's time to soften.

In his heart, the state of Chu is undefeated.

But the reality is very cruel, and he knows deeply that any country can be defeated.

The emperor of Chu is flesh and blood, and the people are also mortal in flesh, and Chu lost the battle, and Chu sued for peace with other countries, all of which is reasonable.

It makes sense, but it is unexpected.

"Jia Gong, it's so late, and you still don't rest?"

At this moment, a voice came.

Qu Dan slowly walked from the room to the courtyard and let out a long sigh.

Jia Yi turned his face sideways, and the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Indeed, in a foreign country, it is ironic that two Chu nobles lived in a small inn and had no intention of sleeping in the middle of the night, and they actually met in the courtyard.

"Lord Zhengqing, how do you feel at this moment?" Jia Yi asked.

"What does Jia Gong mean?"

"Naturally, it's your current mood." Jia Yi paused and said, "In the past few days, in Lord Qu's room, there have been many people visiting the door, right?" ”

"That's what I said." Qu Dan smiled bitterly and said, "What can people do?" The officialdom of Chu State is like this, although Qu doesn't like these fake politeness, but he is also rude to change, so he has to be careful. ”

"Oh? Careful? Jia Yi pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Lord Qu has just been promoted to Zhengqing, and now he is in charge of negotiations with the Chu State, it can be said that the future is immeasurable, if the peace talks can be smooth, after returning to China, he will win the trust of His Majesty, compared with the past, the identity is not the same, it is they who should be careful, not you." ”

Qu Dan hurriedly clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: "Jia Gong knows it well, why bother to be sarcastic." Qu's official position as a Zhengqing is just an expedient measure, after returning to the imperial court, how can there be two Zhengqing in Dahonglu Temple, I am afraid that Qu will become a thorn in the eyes of some people, and even Shaoqing's position cannot be kept. ”

Jia Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Dan, as if he was distinguishing between the truth and the falsehood of his words.

Seeing this, Qu Dan felt a sigh in his heart, so he was a little worried, and said: "Even if Your Majesty has other plans and intends to let Qu Mou sit in this position, it is inevitable that you will be a little dissatisfied, and your Majesty will slander him, so Qu Mou should be careful." ”

Jia Yi was silent.

Looking at Qu Dan, a wave of doubts surged in his heart, and he finally frowned for a long time, and said, "The old man asked you, how long have you been the Shaoqing of Dahonglu Temple?" ”

"No more, no less, exactly twenty years." Qu Dan was a little puzzled.

"At the beginning, you sat in the position of Shaoqing, who recommended you?"

"Father and uncle."

"You have been a young secretary for twenty years, why are you not qualified to sit in the position of Zhengqing?" Jia Yi asked again.

Qu Dan smiled bitterly and said: "Why should Jia Gong ask knowingly, although my Qu family is a nobleman, and it is also a prestigious family in the Chu State, but the identity of the family is not a descendant, there is still a brother in the family who commands the army in the army, and the father and uncle of the family can recommend the next to the position of Shaoqing, which is already the limit, and I want to sit on the top of the ......."

Qu Dan didn't go any further.

Because, Jia Yi is not a stranger, on the contrary, Jia Yi used to be the head of one of the top families in Chu State, and he is very familiar with the set of rules of the family's gate valve.

In the final analysis, the court of Chu is a noble court, and the official positions are all based on the background of the family.

Jia Yi hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that Lord Qu has made great achievements in foreign countries over the years, and in the negotiations with Cangguo over the years, he can often obtain good benefits for my Great Chu, and he is more like a fish in water than the envoys of other countries, and he can mix well in Cangguo...... It stands to reason that it is many times better than those officials who only know corruption, and this position of Zhengqing can sit with peace of mind. ”

"Jia Gongbai praised, in the next ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to be modest first, the old man hasn't finished talking yet." Jia Yi waved his hand and said: "It is precisely because Lord Qu is like this that the old man feels very strange, it is a big matter, why is he so stupid, and the rumors are not true." ”

Dull?

Untrue with the rumors?

Jia Lao said I was stupid?

Say I'm not worthy of my name?

Qu Dan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out where the stupidity came from.

Over the years, on the issue of negotiating with Cangguo, if he encounters any problems that cannot be solved, once he comes forward, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can give some face, and things will not be too bad.

Even if Jia Yi is a national pillar and a veteran, he can't deny it casually, right?

Could it be that you didn't say it well just now?

What's wrong?

"Please also ask Mr. Jia for advice." Qu Dan hurriedly bowed his hand, looking humble.

"I can't talk about teaching, it's just that your performance has disappointed the old man, and I have to wake you up a little." Jia Yi paused and said: "After the battle of the Jin Dynasty, my Da Chu successively eliminated the old enemy Wu State and several surrounding small countries, and has been immersed in the dream of the first great country, and now the dream was suddenly interrupted by the Cang State, and even His Majesty the Emperor has sobered up, what do you say in the next few years, what will my Da Chu do?" ”

"Of course, it is to reconcile with Cangguo, which is the purpose of our trip." Qu Dan replied.

"Okay, tell me, why did Da Chu reconcile with Cangguo?"

"Cangguo is strong, and Chu is thinking about progress."

"That's right, my Da Chu was defeated twice, not because the soldiers were not brave, nor because the generals were not talented, but because they were suppressed by their unique advantages on the battlefield. Therefore, after the two countries are reconciled, only then can Cangguo relax its vigilance against my Great Chu, and not try its best to support Yun and Mang, and more importantly, my Great Chu also has the opportunity to introduce heavy cavalry. ”

"That's right, the heavy cavalry is my great henchman." Qu Dan nodded approvingly.

"Then, in the next few years or even more than ten years, when my Great Chu can't break with Cangguo, Your Majesty will not annoy Cangguo because of some personnel transfers."

"What does Jia Gong mean?"

Qu Dan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have grasped something.

"This time for the sake of peace talks, His Majesty will issue an edict to promote you to the Zhengqing of the Great Honglu Temple, just to give an explanation to the Cangguo, in the eyes of the Cangguo, the change of your identity is a kind of diplomatic etiquette, but also a respect for the Cangguo. After this peace talks, even if the relationship between the two countries cannot be improved, Your Majesty will not reinstate your official or even demote your official, which will only anger Cangguo and make him feel that he has been fooled. ”

"So...... In this official position, it was actually given by Cangguo? Qu Dan was stunned and muttered blankly.
