This night, there was thunder and lightning in Xianyang, and it rained heavily. At this time, a person broke into the door and said happily: "Jing Guojun, we have succeeded." ”

Hearing this, Jingguo Juntian Wen sat up from the bed and asked, "Gongsun Hong, what are you talking about?" ”

Gongsun Hong looked at Jing Guojun's hesitant eyes and repeated: "The secret line we planted next to King Qin came to report that the King of Chu was imprisoned in Wuguan and had been secretly sent to Xianyang for imprisonment. ”

"Great. The king of Qin imprisoned the king of Chu, and the two countries of Qin and Chu were bound to fight each other. God help me. Jing Guojun said with a happy face: "I can repay the shame inflicted by the Qin people." ”

Gongsun Hong saw Jing Guojun's smile, filled with a strong murderous aura, "The shame inflicted on our country by the Qin people can also be avenged."

"Not bad." Jing Guojun said in a cold tone: "The Qin people insulted our country first, and they deceived me later." For the sake of public and private interests, this revenge has to be avenged. Qin and Chu are at loggerheads, and this is the time for us to attack Qin. ”

"What Jing Guojun said is good." Gongsun Hong thought that the Qin people had smashed the dream of the Qin people to open up the territory and expand the territory of the Qi State and command the world, and his eyes were full of hatred, "The Qin people deceived me too much, and it was a moment of shame for us." ”

Jing Guojun calmed down and asked, "Where is the King of Chu locked up?" ”

Gongsun Hong shook his head and replied, "After the King of Chu was sent to Xianyang, there was no news. Presumably, King Qin deliberately blocked the news. ”

"As long as the king of Chu is in Xianyang, it will be beneficial to us. As for where the King of Chu is imprisoned, it does not affect our plans at all. Let's add another fire and continue to stir up the relationship between the Chu and Qin people. Jing Guojun changed his gentle attitude and said solemnly: "I want to give King Qin a fatal blow." ”

Gongsun Hong didn't understand the meaning of Jing Guojun's words, and asked, "How does Jing Guojun plan to stir up the relationship between the Chu people and the Qin people." ”

"I have been in Qin for a year. These days, I pretend to be stupid and full of joy, and I am in the prime minister's position, but I do nothing. The government of Qin, I am very clear. Jing Guojun said coldly: "Today's Qin State is divided into the Later Party and the Wang Party. The Chu people, led by the eight sons of Mi and the queen of Qin, controlled the state of Qin. The Wang Party was a Qin person headed by the King of Qin. When the Chu people learned that the king of Chu was imprisoned in the Qin state, how would they react. ”

"When the people of Chu learn that the king of Chu is imprisoned, they will be angry and ashamed. The Chu and Qin people would fight fiercely. Gongsun Hong laughed and said, "In this way, the situation of the Qin State will not be peaceful." ”

"The more chaotic the Qin State is, the better it will be for us. We will take the King of Qin's 'unrighteousness and unfilial piety' as the banner to unite the princes to attack Qin, return justice to the King of Chu, and restore peace in the world. Jing Guojun said excitedly: "The internal instability of the Qin State, and the external worries are coming. The state of Qin can be broken. National shame, but also snow. ”

"We defeated the state of Chu first, and then crossed the three Jin to defeat the state of Qin." Gongsun Hong's eyes shone brightly, "The prestige of the Qi country has spread all over the princes." The state of Qi will rise above the princes. At that time, the affairs of the world will be the final word of Qi Guo. The state of Qi ordered the princes to dominate the world, and the king could dominate the industry. ”

"Not bad." Jing Guojun's eyes seemed to see the feat of Qi ordering the princes, "Attack Chu, defeat Qin, establish the princes, and command the world." King Qi's hegemony will be completed by me. My deeds are unprecedented. My deeds have been recited through the ages, and no one can do it. ”

"The hegemony of Qi is from the hands of Jing Guojun. Jing Guojun is not only famous among the princes, but also famous through the ages. Gongsun Hong congratulated: "I am here again, congratulations to Jing Guojun." ”

When Jing Guojun heard this, he laughed loudly. If he can command the princes to defeat the state of Chu and establish a great cause, how majestic it is. In the affairs of the world, isn't it up to him to have the final say. Thinking of this, Jing Guojun's heart was full of pride. If a man can do this, he will not come to the world in vain.

Gongsun Hong said again: "We can't forget the fact that Zhao Guo is bad for our country and annexes Yan State. ”

"Zhao Jun is a figure that should not be underestimated." Jing Guojun said in a calm tone: "We want to attack Qin, and we can't offend Zhao State for the time being." Today's Zhao Jun is wandering among the princes, and the wind and water are smooth. The Three Jin Dynasty has not raised troops for nearly 30 years, all of which are the achievements of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun attacked Zhongshan several times, but was never defeated; crossed the river to the west to hit Hu, and Lin Hu offered horses to ask for peace; Zhao Jun settled in the northern frontier, defeated Sanhu, opened up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the Chinese monarch He had achieved the great cause of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun's prestige is like the sky, and he has won the hearts of Zhao Guojun and his ministers, and our country cannot provoke him. ”

"Jing Guojun is right." Gongsun Hong said: "Zhao Jun is a difficult person to deal with. The first king always wanted to hit Zhao and avenge Zhao Jun's revenge. Zhao Jun not only attacked Hu, cut down Zhongshan, and established great achievements, but also knew how to restrain the light and hide his strength. The strength of Zhao today is far better than Wei and Han, and even not weaker than Qi and Chu. We don't know how strong Zhao is now. If we offend Zhao Jun, it will not be good for us to fight Qin. ”

"The first king was afraid of Zhao Jun, how dare I say that I am not ashamed to start a war with Zhao Jun." Jing Guojun took a deep breath, "Cutting down Chu, breaking Qin, and ordering the princes are our top priorities." ”

"What Jing Guojun said is good." Gongsun Hong said: "Zhao Jun is the spiritual leader who unites the Zhao people and the Hu people. It is not a wise move for us to provoke Zhao Jun. If we make enemies in the Zhao State, it will not be conducive to us to attack Chu, break Qin, and order the princes. The grievances between us and Zhao Jun will be put aside for the time being. ”

"Childe, that's great news. The King of Qin's seizure of the King of Chu will be unjust. At this time, Feng Tan walked in and said with a happy face: "We are hopeful that we will return to China." ”

Gongsun Hong asked: "Jing Guojun entered Qin as the prime minister, and he was only one year old. Jing Guojun wants to return to the Qi country, how can the king of Qin let it go. ”

Jing Guojun smiled and said, "Although I am the prime minister of Qin, I have not made an inch of merit in the Qin country. The Qin people laughed at me, and I had no name. I am a useless person in the Qin State. Qin Xiang is occupied by a useless person like me, how can the Qin people be satisfied. I asked King Qin to resign and return to China, and King Qin may not be happier he will be. ”

Feng Tan teased: "The good name of the prince spread all over the princes, but he came to the Qin State but failed to share the worries of the King of Qin. The good name of the son was ruined in the Qin State, but he regretted it a little. ”

"Being alive is more important than anything else." Jing Guojun remembered the embarrassing situation in Qin, and laughed at himself: "King Qin and Mi Bazi are both difficult people to deal with. I was caught between this mother and son, and I was in a dilemma at every turn. The state of Qin is not a place where foreign ministers should come. If I display my talents, I will serve the Qin State. I don't want to be a member of Gongsun Martingale and Zhang Yi. He made great contributions to the Qin State, but he did not die well. ”

Gongsun Hong nodded and said, "Jing Guojun has entered Qin as the prime minister, and his prestige has been established. Jing Guojun returned to the country, and the position of Qi Xiang belonged to Jing Guojun. ”

"I am the prime minister of Qi, so I can influence the situation of the Qi dynasty and order the princes to attack Qin." Jing Guojun smiled: "If I am angry, the world will be full of blood." I am the one who influences the pattern of the world. ”

Feng Tan asked, "Childe, what should we do next?" ”

"We spread the news of King Qin's detention of the King of Chu. The country of Qin is in a mess, and the king of Qin can't take care of me. I took advantage of this to ask the King of Qin to resign and return to China, how could the King of Qin not agree. Jing Guojun thought that the Qin State was in a mess, and he would establish an unprecedented feat, and said with a solemn expression: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind." Whoever will laugh and say in the end, who is the biggest winner. ”

……

After the heavy rain, the weather in Xianyang is much cooler. King Qin was still asleep when he heard a noise outside the hall. King Qin's sweet dream was awakened and said angrily: "Who disturbs the widow's sweet dream." ”

The eunuch Ling walked over quickly, and said in a trembling tone: "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." ”

Qin Wangji asked, "Queen, what is the matter with the widow?" ”

The eunuch ordered the guilty plea: "Minister, I don't know. ”

"Stand down." Qin Wangji signaled, "Please come in." ”

The eunuch ordered him to bow down and leave to convey the will of the King of Qin.

Not long after, Queen Qin walked in and cried like pear blossoms and rain, but she didn't hear the cry. When Qin Wangji saw it, he said distressedly: "Queen, who bullied you." Tell the widow that the widow is in charge. ”

Queen Qin said with tears in her eyes: "Please let the king spare my father." ”

When Qin Wangji heard this, he exclaimed: "What the queen said, the widow can't understand. ”

"The king's detention of his father has already spread throughout the Qin Kingdom." Queen Qin sobbed and said, "My father has a stubborn temperament and offends the king. Please look at me and let my father go. ”

"Queen, get up quickly." Qin Wangji pretended to be confused and said, "What did the queen say?" The widow did not understand. The king of Chu was not only the father of the queen, but also the father of the widow. How could a widow do something unrighteous and detain the king of Chu? ”

Seeing Queen Qin's tears, Qin Wangji lifted his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes, "The widow invited the King of Chu to join the alliance and rebuild the friendship between the two countries." Because of his poor health, the widow was unable to leave for Wuguan. The widow didn't even see the face of the king of Chu, how could he detain the king of Chu. The queen told the widow who had wronged him. ”

Queen Qin looked at King Qin's quiet eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, you didn't deceive me. ”

Qin Wangji looked aggrieved and said, "How can a widow lie to you." The queen did not believe, but the widow swore an oath. ”

Queen Qin hurriedly said: "The king said that he would not lie to me, I would believe it." ”

"That's my good queen." Qin Wangji said in a gentle tone: "The widow will not lie to you. ”

Queen Qin pleaded guilty: "I disturbed the king's sweet dream, please ask the king to surrender." ”

Qin Wangji said with a smile: "You are the queen of the widow, it is too late for the widow to cherish you, how can he bear to blame you." ”

Queen Qin replied: "Thank you, the king's grace of not punishing." ”

"Those who falsely accuse and slander the widow are truly abominable. The widow will find out and give the queen an explanation. Qin Wangji said with concern: "The queen is pregnant with a widow's child, so she must take good care of herself." It rained last night and the temperature plummeted. Queen, go back and rest quickly, lest you catch a cold and get angry. ”

Queen Qin said: "Your Majesty, the minister retires." ”

Qin Wangji shouted: "Come on, send the queen back." ”

After Queen Qin left, King Ji of Qin came to the Zhengyang Hall angrily and shouted: "Who told the queen about the widow's detention of the king of Chu?" ”

Seeing that King Qin was angry, Shu Changhuan and Shou Zhu hurriedly said: "Minister, I don't know." ”

King Qin said murderously: "Only you, me and others know about this matter. ”

The chief hurriedly said: "If the minister leaks half a sentence, he will not die well." ”

Shou Zhu saw the king's eyes, looked at himself, and swore an oath: "If you are loyal to the king, how can you leak this matter." ”

King Qin's eyes were real when he saw Shu Changhuan and Shou Candle, and the matter of King Chu was naturally not leaked by them.

King Qin looked at Shu Changhuan and asked, "Could it be that Wuguan's detention of the King of Chu was leaked by your generals?" ”

Shu Changwan swore an oath: "The minister will obey the king's orders and deliberately select loyal and reliable soldiers to carry out the order. ”

"The widow can trust you." King Qin asked, "Then who will leak the matter of the widow's detention of the king of Chu?" ”

Shou Zhu asked: "Your Majesty, apart from the three of us and the soldiers in the army, will anyone else know about this matter?" ”

Qin Wangji sorted out what had happened before and after, and exclaimed: "The widow has forgotten, there is still one person who knows." ”

Shou Zhu asked, "Who?" ”

Qin Wangji replied, "Qin Xiang." ”

Shou Zhu also knew the status of the Qi people in the king's mind, and said tentatively: "The person who leaked this matter will not be Qin Xiang." ”

Qin Wangji waved his hand and said, "It can't be him." ”

The chief said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Qi people are not credible. ”

"The matter of seizing the king of Chu and claiming territory is exactly the idea that Qin Xiang gave to the widow. Qin Xiang will not betray the widow. ”

"Qi people are foreign ministers after all, and they are not of the same mind as us." Shou Zhu looked at King Qin's expression and said: "As the saying goes, knowing people and faces, it is difficult to know the heart. ”

"If Qin Xiangru deceives the widow, isn't he asking for his own death."

"The name of the Qi people, spread the princes. Why did the Qi people come to the Qin State and did nothing, nor did they be able to share the worries of the king. The king did not feel anything wrong. ”

"Qin Xiang offered advice to the widow to detain the king of Chu, and then betrayed the widow." Qin Wangji asked, "What is the purpose of Qin Xiang?" ”

Shou Zhu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Say whatever you want."

"Qi people and we are not one heart." Shou Candle saw that King Qin was suspicious, and hurriedly said: "What Qin Xiang did was naturally for the benefit of the Qi country. Qin Xiang's move also divided the alliance between Qin and Chu. ”

Qin Wangji thought about it, and also felt that the other party's words were reasonable.

Shou Candle continued: "Whether Qin Xiang has ill intentions, why don't we test him." ”

"You're right." Qin Wangji said in a low voice: "The widow will test him." ”

After a short time, Jing Guojun came to the main hall and saluted: "Minister, please see the king." ”

"Xiangguo, hurry up."

"Thanks, Your Majesty."

"Xiangguo, the widow has a question, you need to answer the widow truthfully."

"Your Majesty, show me."

Qin Wangji looked into Jing Guojun's eyes and shouted angrily: "Did Prime Minister Qin leak the matter of the widow's detention of the king of Chu?" ”

"What did the king say?" Jing Guojun was uneasy, but his face was calm and said, "The King of Chu is in my country. ”

Qin Wangji couldn't see through what Jing Guojun was thinking, but the other party's answer was indeed that he didn't know that the king of Chu was in Xianyang. Qin Wang Ji said in his heart: "Mo Fei, he really doesn't know about this matter. ”

Jing Guojun pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. ”

"What sin are you?"

Jing Guojun said in a sad tone: "The minister came from the Qi State and entered Qin as the prime minister. Thanks to the king's kindness, the minister was able to occupy a high position. The minister came to the Qin State for one year, and he did not make military exploits for the Qin State, and he could not share the worries of the king, so he asked the king to surrender his guilt. ”

Seeing that King Qin was silent, Jing Guojun said again: "The courtier's loyalty is worried about the king, and the king doubts the minister's loyalty." The minister did not show his loyalty, and the minister was willing to resign as Qin Xiang. ”

"Qin Xiangxiu wants to misunderstand, but the widow didn't question you." Qin Wangji hurriedly said: "The widow has to plan with you to detain the king of Chu." Qin Xiang, the widow can't do without you. ”

"Your Majesty, where is the King of Chu?"

"It's in Xianyang."

"The king of Chu is in Xianyang, and the king does not inform the ministers, because he doubts the loyalty of the ministers." Jing Guojun said sadly: "The king doesn't believe in the ministers, what is the use of the ministers staying in the Qin State." Please, the king resigns from the minister, the Qin state phase, and let the minister return to the country. Thank you, sir. ”

"Qin Xiang really wants to leave the widow."

"The king no longer trusts his ministers, what is the use of his ministers staying in Qin." Jing Guojun said coldly: "The minister is loyal to the king, but the king doubts the loyalty of the minister." The minister's heart was very cold. Please let the king return to his kingdom. ”
