Qin Wangji originally thought that without bloodshed, he could get the two counties of Qianzhong and Wu in Chu State. However, in the face of righteousness, the king of Chu would rather die than divide the territory. Qin Wangji didn't expect that the ragged, disheveled, embarrassed old King Chu in front of him, would have a strong and arrogant backbone.

Qin Wangji asked unwillingly: "King Chu, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

The king of Chu restored his royal demeanor and said with great righteousness: "Life, I want; Righteousness, what I want. You can't combine both, sacrifice your life for righteousness. ”

"A good sentence, sacrifice your life for righteousness. King Chu, the widow underestimated you. The King of Qin gave a cheerful applause with both hands, and asked on the other side: "In this way, the King of Chu would rather die than cut off the two counties of Qianzhong and Wu to the Qin State." ”

The King of Chu looked at the King of Qin with calm eyes, and threw out two words sonorously, "Exactly." ”

Qin Wangji had already learned from the quiet eyes of the King of Chu that the King of Chu would not give in if he was forced by force. Qin Wangji groaned a little and said: "If the king of Chu does not divide the territory to the Qin state, the widow will not let you return to Chu." ”

"If you are not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of staying in Qin."

"The king of Chu doesn't have to refuse the widow so quickly. The widow gives you time to calm down. "Qin Wangji is not pushing too much, so as not to be self-defeating. The king of Chu is angry, no matter what he says, he will be sternly resisted by the king of Chu. Qin Wangji looked at the King of Chu, stopped talking, and turned to leave the main hall.

King Qin walked out of the palace gate, and the gate was closed again.

The king of Chu took a few steps forward and cried bitterly: "The widow has insulted the prestige of the ancestors. How can you survive in the world? ”

The king of Chu hit his head on the wooden pillar to die Mingzhi. But because he hadn't eaten for the past few days, his steps were vain, and he staggered and fell to the ground. This fall made the King of Chu sober up a lot, and his idea of seeking death was not as strong as before. The king of Chu thought about it again and muttered to himself, "The widow can't die like this. The widow wants to witness the end of Qin's treachery. ”

Seeing King Qin's gloomy face, Shu Changhuan asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu does not divide the territory. Our efforts have not been in vain. ”

Qin Wangji stopped and looked at the clouds in the distance, "The widow thought that he could get the two counties of Chu State, Qianzhong and Wu without spending a single soldier. The widow didn't expect that the old King of Chu would still have a strong and arrogant backbone. ”

Shu Changhuan asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?" ”

"The king of Chu is angry, and it makes no sense for us to say more. The widow is more patient with the king of Chu. Qin Wangji said coldly: "The anger in the heart of the King of Chu has dissipated. Weigh the pros and cons, and you will agree to the widow's request. ”

"Will the king of Chu agree to the king's request?"

"The State of Chu sits on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, with only two counties of Qianzhong and Wu, who is more important than the life of the King of Chu."

Seeing that the King of Chu reacted violently, Shu Changhuan obviously put his life and death on the line. Although Shu Changhuan was reluctant to attack the King of Qin, he still couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, if the King of Chu doesn't agree, what should I do." ”

Qin Wangji didn't think about this question carefully. Although the king of Chu is old, he has a stubborn temper. If the king of Chu does not divide the territory, Qin Wangji will face a difficult problem, how to deal with the king of Chu whether to release or not.

Qin Wangji took great pains to detain the king of Chu and let him go back like this. not only insulted the national character of Qin, but also discredited King Qin. The king of Qin did not expand his territory, made meritorious achievements, and did not get what he wanted. How could he be willing to let the king of Chu go back like this?

If it is not released, the detention of the king of Chu will not only be morally unjustifiable, but will also lead to the bitterness of Qin and Chu, and will even be used by the princes to play on the topic. At this time, King Qin felt that King Chu was a chicken rib, and it was a pity to abandon it, and it was tasteless to eat.

Qin Wangji was silent for a long time, and said with a solemn expression: "The king of Chu will not open his mouth to cede the territory for a day, and the widow will not let him return to the country for a day. ”

Shu Changhuan said again: "The king of Chu is unbearable and dies in the Qin State, what should I do." ”

The king of Chu died in the state of Qin, and the king of Qin not only could not get the territory of the state of Chu, but also made Qin and Chu a feud. Everything that King Qin had worked so hard to do turned into ashes in an instant. King Qin will also be infamous for a lifetime. Thinking of this, Qin Wangji breathed rapidly, "We must not let the King of Chu die in the Qin State." ”

Shu Changhuan's face was difficult, "The king of Chu is old and has a strong personality. We deceived the king of Chu Zaiqian, detained the king of Chu, and imprisoned the king of Chu in Zhangtai. If the king of Chu can't bear the shame, he will seek death, so what. ”

Qin Wangji stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked, "How can the King of Chu not die." ”

Shu Changhuan said: "If you want a person not to die, then you have to give him hope to live." ”

Shou Zhu saw the king returning, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the king of Chu promised to cede the two counties of Qianzhong and Wu to the Qin State?" ”

"The widow underestimated the King of Chu." Qin Wangji laughed at himself: "The king of Chu refused to divide the territory, not to mention, and also scolded the widow fiercely. Today, the widow discovered that the king of Chu was also a proud person. ”

Shou Zhu hurriedly said: "The king of Chu is cowardly by nature, how can he be arrogant. The king of Chu was reluctant to divide the territory because he was afraid of leaving behind a reputation for eternity. ”

Qin Wangji asked, "Do you mean to say that the king of Chu cherishes his own honor?" ”

"In this world of great contention, the king of Chu is also a romantic figure who is proud of the princes and looks down on the world. We deceited the king of Chu. Let the king of Chu be wise and ruined. Shou Zhu saw that the King of Qin listened carefully, and said: "How can the King of Chu cut off the territory and ruin his reputation." ”

Qin Wangji thought for a while and asked, "The king of Chu agreed to the widow's conditions, and the widow let him return to the country." The state of Chu sits on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the land of Qianzhong and Wu counties is not as important as the life of the king of Chu. ”

Shou Zhu saw that the king paid too much attention to the gains and losses of interests, but he couldn't see the belief that as the king of a country and maintaining the unity of mountains and rivers, he solemnly said, "The king of Chu promised the king's condition that he could return to the state of Chu." If the king of Chu divides the territory, he is not worthy to be the king of the state of Chu. Even if the king of Chu returned to the state of Chu, the people of Chu would not support him. Ashamed of the ancestors and ashamed of the subjects, as a king, you can never do it. ”

Qin Wangji asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Shou Zhu said heavily: "Your Majesty, don't you know that the act of dividing the territory will not only leave a stench for thousands of years. A hundred years later, he has no face to face his ancestors. ”

"When the widow heard your words, he finally figured out why the king of Chu would rather die than divide the territory." Qin Wangji replied thoughtfully: "The king of Chu cherishes his honor so much, so he will not take the initiative to seek death." Widowed, worry-free. ”

Shou Zhu was a little confused and said: "The king's words, the minister can't understand it." ”

"You don't know." Qin Wangji paused and said, "The widow is worried that the king of Chu will not be humiliated, so he takes the initiative to seek death. If the king of Chu dies, Qin and Chu will not only fight each other for generations, but the widow will also bear a lifetime of infamy. If the princes take this as an opportunity, they will unite to attack the Qin State. The state of Qin is in danger. The king of Chu does not die, and there is still room for relaxation between Qin and Chu. The widow can also blackmail the Chu State and get more benefits for the Qin State. ”

Shou Zhu realized the meaning of King Qin's words and complimented: "What the king said is very true. ”

"The king of Chu is not dead, and the country of Qin is worry-free." Qin Wangji resolved the worries in his heart, and his eyes revealed ruthlessness, "The contest between the widow and the king of Chu has just officially begun." ”

……

Fei Yi hurriedly came to the other palace and saluted: "Father, the king of Chu was detained by the Qin State. ”

"What did you say?" When Zhao Yong heard this, he was surprised, "How could the King of Chu be detained by the Qin State." ”

"The princes defeated the state of Chu at Chuisha, and the Chu general Tang Yu was killed in battle, and his generals either revolted or fled. The state of Chu in Nuoda fell apart. The state of Chu was at war with the state of Qin, and suffered three heavy defeats. It further aggravated the internal turmoil in Chu. Fei Yi said: "The Qin State first defeated the Chu State by force, and then threw an olive branch to the Chu State to lure it with an alliance. In order to get out of the predicament, the king of Chu had no choice but to agree to the request of the Qin alliance. The king of Chu is the king of a great country, breaking through the territory, establishing meritorious deeds for all generations, and is also a hero, but he ended up like this, which is really pitiful. ”

Zhao Yong said heavily: "Poor people, there must be something respectable." ”

"The State of Qin has repeatedly deceived the King of Chu, and the King of Chu does not have a long memory." Fei Yi snorted lightly and said, "The King of Chu is too stupid, who is to blame." ”

"King Chu is not stupid." Zhao Yong said: "The king of Chu is too arrogant. ”

"The King of Chu is arrogant?" Fei Yi said confusedly: "The words of the master father, the minister can't understand it. ”

"The country of Chu is large, there are many soldiers, and the power of the princes is beyond reach. The destruction of the king of Chu increased his ambition to drink the Yellow River and annex the world. The king of Chu was too arrogant and despised the power of the princes, so he ended up in a crushing defeat. Zhao Yong's tone was full of sympathy, "The king of Chu will be bullied only if he underestimates the Qin State." The king of Chu allied with the Qin state, but he never expected the Qin state to detain him. ”

"What the Lord Father said is reasonable."

Zhao Yong smiled lightly: "The king of Chu fell into such a tragedy, this is caused by arrogance. O man! Never take your opponents lightly, especially those who seem weaker than you. ”

"Master Father" Fei Yi asked: "Qin State detains the King of Chu, so he is not afraid that the two countries will fight each other?" ”

"Who do you think did the plot to detain the king of Chu?"

"The government of the Qin State was controlled by Mi Bazi and others. This plot should be done by Mi Bazi. ”

"Definitely." Zhao Yong replied: "Use the art of fraud to detain the monarch of another country." This is a child's state. ”

"The master's father means that this plan was done by the king of Qin."

"The government of the Qin State is decided by the eight sons of Mi. The King of Qin did not feel his presence in the Qin State. Zhao Yong's eyes were full of sympathy for King Qin and said: "King Qin detained King Chu because he wanted to prove himself too much. ”

"King Qin doesn't have a talented person around him, how could he think of this scheme."

"Have you forgotten? Qi Renjing Guo Jun was the prime minister in Qin. ”

"The seizure of the monarch of another country will not only lead to hostility between the two countries, but will also bear the infamy of unfaithfulness for the rest of his life. The king of Qin detained the king of Chu, didn't he think of the evil consequences that would be triggered. ”

"King Qin is not deeply involved in the world and lacks political experience, how could he have thought of the evil consequences that would be triggered."

"King Qin is not a foolish person, how could he believe the words of Qi people."

"The Qi people seized the king of Chu and demanded the territory of Chu. In order to survive, the king of Chu will naturally satisfy the lion of the Qin State to open his mouth. If the soldiers of the king of Qin obtained the territory of the Chu State without bloodshed, they could establish their prestige in the Qin State and weaken the influence of Mi Bazi and others. Zhao Yong smiled faintly and said, "King Qin is anxious to be in the Qin country, so he can't take care of it." ”

"Why did the Qi people instigate the King of Qin and detain the King of Chu by fraud." Fei Yi asked, "Qi people, what do you want?" ”

Zhao Yong threw out two words, "Attack Qin." ”

"Qi people are prime ministers in Qin, why do you want to attack Qin."

"Although the Qi people are prime ministers in the Qin State, they are constrained everywhere and are insulted by the Qin ministers. Qi people have always been arrogant, how can they be humiliated. The state of Qin seized the state of Chu, and Qin and Chu became enemies. In this way, the Qin State was isolated. As soon as the Qi people raised their arms and called to attack Qin, the princes would respond. ”

"The Qi people will have such a plan."

"The Qin State united with Han Wei and attacked the Qi State. The defeat of the princes of Pushui in the state of Qi also led to the loss of Yandi. Attacking Qin Xue shame is the long-cherished wish of King Qi Xuan, and it is also the mission of every man in Qi Kingdom. Zhao Yong said again: "If the Qi State wants to attack Qin Xuesha, it must divide the alliance between Qin and Chu." If the State of Qi made an expedition against the State of Qin, the State of Chu sent troops to attack the State of Qi. The country of Qi is attacked on both sides and will be defeated. The state of Qi first defeated the state of Chu and then the state of Qin. The affairs of the world will be said by Qi Guo. ”

"What the master father means is that the world is going to be full of wars again."

Zhao Yong said in a heavy tone: "In the world of great disputes, how can there be peace." ”

"The king of Chu agreed to the conditions of the Qin state. Didn't the Qi people's plan just fail? ”

"The Qin State detained the King of Chu, which is a national shame. Everything can be discussed, but only the national shame needs to be washed away by force. ”

"Is the word of the Lord Father too exaggerated?" Fei Yi said: "The sword is old and has no light, and the people are old and have no rigidity." The king of Chu is dying of old age, and he is no longer a high-spirited person. In order to save his life, the king of Chu would agree to the conditions of the Qin state. ”

"The man of Chu is arrogant and arrogant, and he will never give in to force. In order to survive, the king of Chu will cut off the territory, and he will leave an infamy through the ages. Zhao Yong said in a firm tone: "The King of Chu will never let his reputation be disgraced again. ”

"If the king of Chu does not agree to the conditions of the Qin state, the Qin state will not let the king of Chu return to the country. Qin and Chu no longer had room for relaxation. Fei Yi asked: "Lord, the world is about to rise, how should we deal with it." ”

"We'll just have to wait and see what happens." Zhao Yong looked at the map of Kanyu piled up with soil, and his tone was full of worry, "Beihu has the potential to make a comeback, and we will send troops to attack, and the losses will be huge. Lonely, thinking backwards, decided to build the Great Wall to guard against Beihu. ”
