The development of the Qin people in Qianyi was booming, but the Sanguo, as a neighboring country, constantly felt the pressure from the Qin people, which made the Sangong Ji Zhao and the ministers uneasy.

Now it's time to really figure it out.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really a bit difficult to solve! If you think about it, this Qin people set up a trading market on their own territory, and we can't take care of it! Faced with the fact that the Qin people established a market in Qianyi to trade, Zhou Zhuo still couldn't pay attention to it.

"Their turf? Qianyi is their territory, if it wasn't for my sovereign father who lent the land of Longchuan to the Qin people, how could there be things that the Qin people are in trouble with us everywhere today? At this time, Sangong Ji Zhao was already a little breathless, and he was even more worried about the matter of the monarch's father lending the land of Longchuan to the Qin people.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you can't blame Xianjun for this matter, after all, the strength of the scattered country at that time was not good, and there was no way to resist the invasion from Rongdi in the north, so I had to ask the Qin people to come over to help. In fact, it was not without benefits for the Qin people to come to Guanzhong, after all, with their help, our northern border was still a lot more stable. ”

"As the prime minister of the scattered country, how can you say such irresponsible words, according to what you say, not only should we not hate the Qin people, but we should also thank them?" Sangong Ji Zhao said to Zhou Zhuo in a very disdainful tone.

"That's not what the minister meant, what the minister means is that after this Qin man came to Guanzhong, although it brought a lot of threats to our scattered country, it also protected our northern border to a certain extent, and the king will not object to this, right?" Zhou Zhuo was also a little angry and said to Sangong Ji Zhao.

"Okay, let's not talk about the benefits of the Qin people, you can find a way for me now, and quickly stop the Qin people from harming my scattered country. Can't you really see that the Qin people have seriously threatened the status of our scattered kingdom in the royal family? Sangong Ji Zhao was very impatient and said to Zhou Zhuo.

Saying so much, Zhou Zhuo suddenly remembered something and said, "What is the relationship between the monarch and the prince of the kingdom of Qiu, the father of the kingdom of Qiu?" ”

Father Yushi?

Ji Zhao couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhuo and said, "What do you say he does?" ”

"Didn't the king want to deal with the Qin people? There is no way to compete with the Qin people by relying on our strength alone, we must rely on the strength of the royal family. Zhou Zhuo said.

Relying on the power of the royal family?

"Yes, yes, you are right, if the royal family can help us disperse the country in this matter, why worry about the immortality of the Qin people. Say what you mean directly. Sangong Ji Zhao said happily when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, if you want to gain the support of the royal family for our scattered country, Father Yu Shi is a figure that cannot be ignored. At present, the two people most trusted by the new emperor are Yu Shifu and Yin Qiu. If Father Yu Shi is willing to help us, the Son of Heaven will definitely listen to him. ”

"You said that the relationship between Father Yu Shi and the Son of Heaven is not ordinary?" Sangong Ji Zhao was a little unconvinced.

"It's very unusual, when the minister heard that the Son of Heaven was still the crown prince, he trusted Yu Shifu and Yin Qiu very much, and the three of them were almost inseparable. Now after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he still trusts the two of them very much. Zhou Zhuo said.

"Father Yushi? I have some impressions that when the widow was still the crown prince, he learned the knowledge of governing the country in the royal family with Yu Shifu, Zhong Geng and others, and we knew each other at that time, but it has been several years since this moment, or I don't know if this guy is willing to recognize me as a friend. "For Father Yu Shi, Ji Zhao knows him.

It's just that when he was studying in Haojing, Ji Zhao had the best relationship with Zhong Geng, and his relationship with Yu Shi's father was very average.

At the beginning, I would never have thought that a few years later, I would ask for the door of Yu Shi's father.

"As long as you know Father Shi, the minister has heard that Father Shi is more greedy for money. If you want to see him, why don't you bring more money to Father Shi, and he will definitely speak for our country. Zhou Zhuo suggested.

"So, if the widow wants to get rid of the Qin people's suppression of the scattered country, he must also turn to this Yu Shi Father?"

"It's the best way to go." Zhou Zhuo said.

From Zhou Zhuo's words, Sangong Ji Zhao understood that although Sanguo wanted to get rid of the Qin people's suppression of him, he really had to find this Yu Shi's father.

"Okay--, the widow will take a trip to Hojing and meet this father of the stone." Sangong Ji Zhao said ruthlessly, "Let's talk about it, since I have met this Shi Father once, I have to make some meaningful requests!" ”

"Either we try to get the land of Longchuan back, or at worst, we should let the Qin people withdraw half of the place for us." Zhou Zhuo suggested.

"You want to go back to the land of Longchuan?" Sangong Ji Zhao shook his head after hearing this, "This matter is a little difficult to handle, after all, it was the first king who rewarded the land of Longchuan to the Qin people, and now we ask the new emperor to return the land to us, will this anger the son of heaven?" ”

The idea is good, whether it can be implemented is another matter, not to mention that this kind of practice of making the son change his father's decision is indeed a little difficult to open his mouth.

"Then why don't you ask the Son of Heaven to hand over half of the trade taxes of the Qin people to us?"

Why is that? Why should people give us their taxes? Without waiting to walk in front of the Son of Heaven, Sangong Ji Zhao himself vetoed Zhou Zhuo's proposal.

Several of his proposals were rejected by the monarch, and Zhou Zhuo was also a little unhappy, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what does the monarch think it should be?" "Since my proposal is not suitable, then say it yourself!

"The widow means that we can't ask the Son of Heaven so directly for the land or interests, which will arouse the vigilance of the Son of Heaven, and it is best for us to come up with one that harms the interests of the Qin people, does not harm the interests of the scattered country, and then achieves the goal of weakening the Qin people. When the Qin people are weakened to a very weak strength, we will be able to easily eliminate the Qin people and recover the purpose of Qianyi in the end. ”

It only harms the interests of the Qin people, not the interests of the scattered country, and finally achieves the goal of weakening the Qin people and strengthening the scattered country.

It's not necessarily too difficult.

But Zhou Zhuo is the prime minister of a country after all, is the prime minister? It's for the country.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zhuo said to Ji Zhao: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea. ”

"Oh--, you've got an idea, tell me about it." Sangong Ji Zhao said happily.

"After the king goes to Haojing and finds Father Yushi, he must change his previous attitude towards the Qin people. Just say good things about the Qin people to Father Yu, so that Father Yu Shifu believes that today, only the Qin people can save the royal family and fight against Rong Di. Zhou Zhuo suggested.

Well?

After hearing this, Sangong Ji Zhao looked at Zhou Zhuo suspiciously, "Aren't you sick?" The Qin people and my scattered country are enemies, and the widow still has to praise the Qin people in front of the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven will pay attention to the Qin people and belittle our scattered country. Why don't you want to do that? ”

Zhou Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, of course the minister knows that the Qin people are the enemies of our scattered country, and they have skillfully seized our land of Longchuan and cut off our financial route. But did you ever think about what kind of attitude the Son of Heaven would have towards the Qin people after the king praised the Qin people in front of the Son of Heaven? What kind of benefits or disadvantages will it have for the Qin people in the future? ”

"You say--" Sangong Ji Zhao said puzzled.
