"Your official position is not only given by the Cangguo, but in the future, you will have to rely on the protection of the Cangguo." Jia Yi said.

Qu Dan was still in a sluggish state, and after Jia Yi's little push, his heart suddenly brightened.

Think about it, if it weren't for the strength of Cangguo, how could he have made some achievements over the years?

If it weren't for the fact that Cangguo was strong and defeated the Chu army twice, how could he become the Zhengqing of the Great Honglu Temple?

Moreover, in his heart, he also deeply understood why he had repeatedly received courtesy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cangguo in his negotiations with Cangguo.

Isn't it that year that he was ordered to send an envoy to Cangguo, and he was fortunate to be favored by the emperor of Cangguo, but unfortunately he wanted to dig up Cangguo and then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pay attention to one or two?

Qu Dan's heart was like a mirror, and at the same time, he was more and more disappointed in Chu State.

Why?

The entire court of Chu is too far behind Cangguo.

In Cangguo, what is important is ability, but where it is an official position, those who can live in it.

In the state of Chu, it depends on the family background.

Take himself as an example, in the eyes of Emperor Cangguo, he is a talent that can be encountered, but in the eyes of Jia Gong, who is respected as a pillar of the country, he is a fool who is not worthy of the name.

And the reason why he is considered a fool is simply because he doesn't understand the intrigue in the court, and he doesn't know how to figure out the thoughts of the emperor and ministers.

In the court of Chu State, everyone has devoted their energy to these things!

Have a soul above buttons!

This is the only thought in Qu Dan's heart at this moment.

Although, he didn't know that the so-called Huai Cai was just a trap set by Emperor Cangguo......

"Please also ask Jia Gong to teach, what should I do next?"

Qu Dan put on a humble appearance, because he knew that at this time, no matter how much he complained, no matter how disappointed he was in the officialdom of Chu State, it would be useless, and he still had to live in this system.

It's better to ask Jia Gong, who thinks he is stupid, for advice, and maybe he can go more smoothly in his future career.

"Don't worry." Jia Yi glanced at him and said, "For hundreds of years in my Great Chu, the pattern of the family is not static, maybe in your generation, it will be an opportunity for another family to rise." ”

Qu Dan hurriedly said: "Thank you Jia Gong for your advice, I am grateful." ”

"Don't rush to thank you just yet." Jia Yi waved his hand, walked towards the house on crutches, and said: "The top priority is to negotiate with Cangguo, if you can't negotiate, everything will be in vain, and your position as a Zhengqing will definitely not be kept." ”

"The younger generation is taught." Qu Dan gave up.

Jia Yi sighed and went back to the house on crutches.

Qu Dan looked up, and he didn't know what it was like.

……

In the Zichen Palace, Yang Mu sat on the high dragon chair, lightly commenting on Qu Dan.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to see the Chu State Mission.

However, after all, it has been drying for a long time, and it is not good to drag it all the time, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can only contact it.

Just a few days ago, after some negotiations, the two sides reached a lot of consensus.

The state of Chu sent a large number of treasures, and at the same time submitted credentials, not asking the two countries to rebuild the old friendship, but only hoping that the two countries could re-establish diplomatic relations, resume trade exchanges, and gradually release their old suspicions.

In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the initiative, of course, it would not casually negotiate the conditions, and in the midst of a tug-of-war, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally expressed the desire of Cangguo to build a Grand Canal.

The Chu envoy realized that this was a condition proposed by Cangguo, so after learning about the rough situation of the so-called Grand Canal, they agreed and was willing to donate five million taels of silver to Cangguo to help Cangguo build the Grand Canal, and also agreed to build a Grand Canal in Chu to dock with Cangguo's canal.

After expressing his position, Chu Guo even got a ticket to enter the palace to face the saint.

Yang Mu thought about it in his heart, and it was also time to meet with the envoys of the Chu State.

However, the reception is allowed, and it must be a decent person with an official position.

For example, those people in the royal family, or the retired former prime minister Jia Yi, where to stay cool.

In the end, the only person who could face the saint directly was Qu Dan.

"Foreign minister Qu Dan, knock on His Majesty Emperor Dacang"

"Well, get up." Yang Mu glanced at him lightly, and saw that he was wearing the official uniform of the Chu State, so he said: "This Zhengqing official uniform, are you still used to wearing it?" ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, the foreign minister thinks it's not bad." Qu Dan arched his hand, paused and said: "His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor has ordered foreign ministers to meet His Majesty, so he has been specially given the position of Zhengqing." ”

"Oh? Do you really think it's the kindness of your Emperor Chu? Yang Mu said coldly, meaning something.

Qu Dan lowered his head and did not speak.

However, it can be seen that his body is trembling a little, and his heart is very nervous.

"Hmph."

Yang Mu flicked his sleeves, didn't speak, got up from the dragon chair, and was about to walk out.

"Puff"

With a sound, Qu Dan knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "His Majesty Emperor Cang cultivates and takes care of it, and the nine deaths of the foreign ministers will be difficult to report!"

"Nine deaths are hard to report?"

Qu Dan was terrified, worried that the hard-won opportunity to meet him would be lost, and hurriedly said: "The foreign minister is a small minister, who has been bullied in the court, thanks to His Majesty's appreciation, and has the heart to drive, but the foreign minister does not know how to lift, and has the grace of the saint...... All these things here, the foreign minister's great luck!"

"Well, you know it's a blessing." Yang Mu glanced at him lightly and said, "Right now, my Dacang is thriving, and your Chu State is a big country on its own, and there is no one in your eyes, and it is inevitable that you will be abandoned by the times." Let's just say that now, why did your Emperor Chu send you to Cangguo to make peace, isn't it because of this reason? To see or not to see, it's just a sentence from me, and letting you be this Zhengqing is my attitude. ”

Hearing this, Qu Dan lowered his head, and his heart was pounding.

What kind of attitude is the emperor of a country who says so many things to a foreign minister, and also to a country that has accepted a defeated general, saying so many things?

In his heart, he faintly felt that the Emperor of Cangguo had something to say.

No one would believe that the emperor of a country would plan for one of the courtiers of an enemy country for no reason.

Don't......

In his heart, he vaguely guessed something.

"Qu Danna, you are a talent, and I am also a person who cherishes talents, why are you still rolling in a dirty place such as the court of the Chu State? It's better to come to my Cangguo, and there will be something great. ”

Qu Dan snorted his lips, and his heart was a little moved, but at this time, his sober reason told him that he couldn't agree.

At this sensitive time, if he turns his back on Chu and goes to Cangguo to be an official, then it will definitely cause a sensation in Chu State, and the entire Qu clan will definitely bear the wrath of the Manchu Dynasty.

That's right, he felt that he had no talent and was eager to fulfill his ambitions.

However, it is definitely not to the point of sacrificing the entire family and sacrificing flesh and blood.

In addition, after what he said just now, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
