The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei have been fighting for a hundred years. Suddenly, it is impossible for many to let go of the past, abandon hatred, and work together. However, Gongsun Yan is a person who likes to challenge himself, and the more people think it is impossible, the more energetic he does it. For him, it's a testament to his difference. At the same time, I will not leave regrets in my life. There are some things that you will regret for the rest of your life if you don't do them. Gongsun Yan would never let this happen to him.

Life, no regrets... These four words have always been intense to him.

After the banquet, Gongsun Yan returned to the embassy with nine points of drunkenness.

The next day, when he woke up, it was ten o'clock at noon.

Wei Ai, the Wei Sect, came once in the morning, but he couldn't see Gongsun Yan because he was drunk and didn't wake up. It is reported that Gongsun Yan woke up from drinking, put down the matter in his hand and hurried over, and said angrily: "Doctor Shang, how is the progress of the alliance with Zhao Guo." ”

Gongsun Yan, holding his forehead, eased his mind, and said, "There are many difficulties. ”

Wei Ai hesitated: "Doctor, there are still things that you can't solve." ”

"Wei and Zhao, the rift is too deep. It is very difficult for both countries to put aside their past and forge an alliance. Gongsun Yan said abruptly: "Now, we are struggling, we can only take one step at a time. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ai walked back and forth in the room and said, "Doctor, the Qin State has sent troops to attack our country again. The state of Chu is also eyeing us. You should quickly think of a way to bring about reconciliation between Wei and Zhao as soon as possible, conclude an alliance, and ease the situation that is unfavorable to our country. ”

Gongsun Yan was unwilling to facilitate the conclusion of an alliance between Wei and Zhao as soon as possible. However, the situation in Zhao Palace, he has a full view. On the Congtai Palace, at least half of the people were against the merger. Zhao Jun, although he did not express his attitude towards the matter of the merger. But seeing Zhao Jun's expression, the situation is not optimistic. Seeing that Gongsun Yan didn't speak, Wei Ai hurriedly said, "Doctor, you have something to say!" ”

"What can I say." Gongsun Yan stared at him and said, "To conclude an alliance, the two sides must sincerely reach a consensus. We have to give Zhao Jun and the ministers and the people of Zhao State a little space to ease their emotions! ”

Wei Yan thought about it and felt that Gongsun Yan's words were very reasonable. It is a bit unacceptable to let Wei and Zhao put aside their grievances and work together. Mo said that it was difficult for Zhao to accept, even in Wei, the voice of opposition was also rising.

Wei Ai asked, "Doctor Shang, what are the chances of success in forming an alliance with Zhao?" ”

Gongsun Yan pondered for a while, his face was embarrassed, "It's hard to say!" Zhao is not like Wei. The Wei State has a king, and he dictates the dynasty. The political situation of Zhao is complicated, there are many clans, and there are many foreign ministers... Zhao Jun is young. It's a hundred times harder than I thought. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

No wonder, Gongsun Yan wanted to personally envoy Zhao Guo. The relationship is important, and the road is difficult. Wei Ai, seeing that he racked his brains for state affairs, sighed: "The rhino head, he is really a national soldier." ”

Congtai Palace, Zhao Jun ostensibly said that he didn't talk about state affairs and only cared about drinking. It seems that it is to destroy the prestige of Gongsun Yan, but in fact, Zhao Jun intends to maintain it. At the banquet, the ministers of Zhao attacked him. It is not said whether Gongsun Yan has the ability to deal with the words of the hundred officials of Zhao State. Just based on these people's resentment towards the Wei State, it was difficult for Gongsun Yan to leave safely.

After the banquet, Zhao Yong left Zhao Bao, Gongzi Cheng, Feiyi, Li Dui, Tian Buli, Gongsun Pu and Pang Wu and others.

Zhao Yong asked, "Everyone, what do you think about the matter of the combination?" ”

Zhao Bao paused and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not approve of the alliance. ”

Gongsun Pu, Pang Wu, Li Dui and others also supported Xiangbang's words.

Zhao Yong said again: "Da Sikou, your opinion." ”

Gongzicheng burped and said drunkly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about." I'm old, I've drunk too much, and I don't hear clearly. ”

Zhao Yong knew that he was deliberately pretending to be drunk, but he couldn't break it, so he had to say it again. Gongzi Cheng stared at Jun Shang and hiccuped again, "Jun Shang... Do what you say, do it. I... Support..."

Childe's words were vague, and he didn't say who he supported, so he fell asleep.

Zhao Yong saw him sleeping at the desk, and knew in his heart that it would be difficult for you to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.

Tian Buli arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages." ”

Fei Yi saw that the king's eyes were looking at him, and he also arched his hand and said, "Minister, approve of the cooperation." ”

Zhao Bao sneered: "Two, have you forgotten the deep hatred between Wei and Zhao?" ”

When Pang Wu heard this, his face was sad and deeply touched, "Wei and Zhao are incompatible, how can they unite and conclude an alliance." Your Majesty, what the Wei people did to Zhao Guo, you can't forget it! ”

Gongsun Pu also experienced the Handan catastrophe, and also witnessed the war between Wei and Zhao, his face was moved, "I was young at that time, and I still remember the Handan catastrophe. I cannot forget the humiliation brought by the Wei people to our country. When the ancestor was alive, he recuperated internally, fought against the princes externally, seized land to quell the rebellion, and competed with the Wei State. The Wei State was also under the joint blow of the vassal states, and its national strength declined greatly. The national strength of Wei declined, and it was unbearable for the force of the vassal states, so it thought of reconciling with our country. Will it be too late. ”

Zhao Bao nodded, his eyes sad and sad. He can't forget those difficult and tragic days. Recalling the years of working together with the ancestors, he was also full of desolation. The Handan catastrophe, including the ancestors, cannot be relieved. Therefore, Zhao Yu devoted his life to fighting the Wei State, and he was ashamed. However, shame is snow, and people are dead. If the surviving person is alive, he must fulfill the will of the deceased.

Tian Buli couldn't help but say: "The three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Chu concluded an alliance and besieged the Three Jins. The three Jin go their own way and don't work together. Sooner or later, one day, it will be annexed by the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu. Your Majesty, shame cannot be forgotten, and shame can be brave. However, we must not lose our eyes because of shame. The current general trend of the world is not conducive to Zhao State. If we want to change this unfavorable situation, we will confront the three countries. Combining is the best way. ”

The minister also thinks. Doctor's words are reasonable. Fei Yi, after weighing the pros and cons, said: "This time is different from the past. Zhang Yi of the Qin State proposed to divide the world equally with the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu. In the face of the power of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Jin Dynasty bore the brunt. None of the three Jin countries will oppose the three countries. If the three are combined, they can fight against the three countries in order to survive. If you are divided into three Jin, you will die. Your Majesty, in the face of the fierce eyes of the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu, Hezong is the best way to balance them. ”

"Da Sima, you're not drunk! How can you talk drunk. Not to mention the Handan catastrophe brought to our country by the Wei people. Not to mention the alliance between the two countries of Weiqi and the attack on our country many times. As soon as the ancestor went, Wei Poppy invited the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan and Qin to wait for an opportunity to seek our country in the name of the funeral. Zhao Bao paused, and continued: "The Handan catastrophe is too long and too far away, and you have forgotten it. However, the funeral of the Five Nations, what happened close at hand, have you also forgotten? ”

"That's right! Your Majesty, you can't forget it! ”

"Compete with Wei to be superior. This is also the national policy promoted by the ancestors. We will not forget, and we must not. ”

What happened in the past, one picture after another emerged in Zhao Bao's mind, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I don't care about the general trend of the world. I only remember the Wei State and the disasters it brought to our country. Mo said, we can't agree, and the soldiers and people of Handan will not agree. Between Wei and Zhao, it is impossible to let go of hatred and live in harmony. ”

"Wei Zhao is harmonious, which is a good thing for my Zhao Kingdom." Tian Buli said loudly: "There is no worry about the Wei State." To the east, we can deal with the Qi country. To the west, it can also deal with the Qin state. In the north, it can also deal with the crisis in northern Xinjiang. We are not at peace with the Wei State. In the depths of the Zhao Kingdom, the land of four wars, the east, west, north and south cannot be taken into account. Zhao Guo is in danger, and Handan is also in danger. ”

"As a Qi person, how can you understand the pain of my Zhao people's bereavement. What benefits did the Wei people give you, you didn't care about the national shame of Zhao State, and didn't take into account the feelings of the ministers and people of Zhao State. You... Not worthy of being a courtier of my Zhao State. ”

"I am considering the long-term plan of Zhao Guo, how can I not be worthy of Zhao Chen. Am I wrong? ”

"It's not just wrong, it's just too wrong. Xianjun Yu is alive, and Zhao is also a place of deep four wars. Did the Ancestor give in? Did the ministers and the people of Zhao give in? Is Zhao Guo in danger? Is Handan in danger? The first monarch seized land to quell the rebellion and conquered the princes, and he was not also a hero. As Zhao Chen, you don't think about national shame and are alarmist, are you worthy of Zhao Chen? ”

Zhao Yong saw that everyone was arguing, and stopped the topic in time. Get up and leave the palace. When the people saw the king departing, they did not quarrel, but dispersed.

Fei Yi stood in the distance and greeted Zhao Bao.

Zhao Bao stopped, glanced at him, his eyes were full of disappointment, ignored him, and left directly.

The next day, the ministers wrote to them, saying that the disadvantages of connivance outweigh the advantages. Zhao Yong, it is expected that there will be an uproar today, and Congtai Palace will not be peaceful. simply, he was drunk and did not wake up, and did not go to the court to deal with the government. The ministers vented their grievances on the Congtai Palace, and then gradually left.

Zhao Yong hid in Congtai Palace and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. But the documents and grievances of the hundred officials reached his ears. Zhao Yong also understood what it meant to join forces with the Wei State. Whatever it is, there are always pros and cons. However, smart people know how to make trade-offs. How to stick to the thoughts in your heart without hurting the feelings of others.

Gongsun Yan stayed in Zhao for many days, but he failed to see Zhao Jun. Wei Ai saw that it was difficult to succeed, and said, "Doctor, let's go!" Zhao Guo will not put aside grievances and conclude an alliance. We can't help in Zhao State, and tomorrow, we will leave for China. I am sure that the king will not blame us. ”

Gongsun Yan, holding a book in his hand, was watching intently.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Ai thought that he was arrogant and couldn't let go of his face, so he said kindly: "Doctor, everything you have done for Wei State." I see it too. When I return to China, I will report to the king truthfully. You don't have to mind. Don't be too sad either. Wei needs you. The king also needs to borrow your talents to revitalize the country. ”

Gongsun Yan put down the scroll and rubbed his tired eyes.

Wei Shu saw that he listened to his advice, "I will immediately order someone to clean up, enter the Zhao Palace tomorrow to submit the documents, and leave the Zhao Kingdom." ”

"We don't have to go."

"Zhao Jun doesn't care about us, and so do the ministers of Zhao State. What is the point of us staying here. While Zhao Guo did not attack us, we were able to leave with dignity. Once..."Wei Ai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Once, Zhao Jun sent me and others away." At that time, we were leaving, losing our dignity and dishonoring the country. ”

Gongsun Yan avoided answering, stared out the window with his eyes, and asked, "How many days have we been in Zhao Kingdom." ”

Wei Shu replied, "Ten days." ”

"Ten days." Gongsun Yan stretched his stiff body, "Zhao Guo, we will leave." But, not tomorrow. ”

"But..."

Gongsun Yan knew what he was going to say, and cut off: "We will leave in a beautiful way, and we will never be humiliated by Zhao Guo." ”

When Wei Xuan heard this, he felt that Gongsun Yan had an idea, "You have a way to persuade Zhao Jun and his ministers to participate in the alliance." ”

"On the tenth day, the mood of the ministers and people of Zhao State should be relieved!" Gongsun Yan said, "Zhao Guo, it's time to come." ”

Wei Shu was puzzled: "Doctor, you said that Zhao Guo is coming?" ”

Gongsun Yan pointed to a few birds by the window, "The birds are near the window, and the worries are gone." It's time for a happy event. ”

Wei Ai stepped forward to drive the bird away and closed the window, "Doctor Shang, things have come to this point." You're still talking about it. ”

It stands to reason that at the Congtai Palace banquet, there were many people who opposed the connivance. These people should use the power in their hands to mobilize manpower to sabotage the alliance. The Wei people are in a worrying situation in Handan, and the official post will also be affected, and the surrounding area of the official post is not peaceful. However, the opposite is true. Wei's official post in Handan was not harassed by anyone. The Wei people went to the Zhao State Bazaar to purchase materials, and they were not treated unfairly. All these phenomena show that someone gave an order to protect them and the official post of Wei in Handan.

With such great power, it can not only suppress the speech of hundreds of officials, but also stop its own people, because of the fierce emotions, breeding incidents and causing the situation to expand. Except, Zhao Jun has this strength, others can't do it. In the past few days, Gongsun Yan calmed down and carefully thought about what happened in Congtai Palace several times. He interpreted Zhao Jun's words, ostensibly to kill his prestige, but in fact to defend him. Based on these minor details, Gongsun Yan concluded that there was a chance for Wei and Zhao to conclude an alliance and merge with each other.

Gongsun Yan told Wei Ai what he thought and felt.

Wei Ai listened to it and felt that it made sense.

Gongsun Yan said: "Zhao Jun, you have made great efforts for Wei and Zhao. I should also give Zhao Guo a gift. ”

Wei Ai said, "Doctor, you can't do anything that is degrading to the country. ”

Gongsun Yan smiled and didn't pay attention to his words.

Night falls. Gongsun Yan ordered the banquet to be set up, and then dismissed the waiters. Wei Ai asked him, what are you doing here.

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "There are guests coming." ”

"Does Doctor Shang still have friends in Zhao Kingdom?"

Gongsun Yan knew the meaning of his words, and he did not say anything to defend himself.

Wei Xuan asked, "Doctor Shang, what did you send to Zhao Jun?" ”

Gongsun Yan stretched out his thick fingers, "Zhongshan is not destroyed, and Zhao is not prosperous." ”
