Chapter 474: The Talent of Words
Since the opening up of the Chenggao area as a trade with the Central Plains countries, especially after the last time I went to the Wei court, there are many princes and merchants who have gone to Wancheng, but Qin also knows that the merchants of the princes and countries are often important people in their own countries to spy on the news of other countries, therefore, Wancheng is also divided into Wanshi as a place for merchants to trade the goods of merchants from other countries, and Wancheng Qin Palace or the surrounding commercial offices are separated.
But this does not hinder the prosperity of commerce and trade in Wancheng, this is because the Great Qin Commercial Office has exchanged a large number of goods in Wanshi City, and handed them over to the old Qin people who can be entrusted to sell, which, there are not a few merchants from the princes of Wancheng, but the personnel who can really contact the core official office of the Great Qin Dynasty are very few, and they are almost cut off in Wanshi.
For example, the old Qin of Guanxi sent an envoy to Wancheng, and the Great Qin court entertained him with the gift of nine guests, and ordinary merchants from all countries would never know about it.
Zhang Yi also drank a few days of fine wine, and finally officially took over the power of the mission from Yingqian, and went to Lingyuntai as the old Qin's chief envoy.
Lingyuntai is nine zhang high, it is the most towering building in Wancheng, here, if it is not covered by the lush trees in the Qin Palace, the scene in the Qin Palace is clear one by one.
It is often a good place to climb high and look at the generosity in his heart, even if Zhang Yi climbed the Lingyun Terrace and was out of breath, he still looked at the railing, and respectfully performed the salute of Shiqing to meet the princes in front of the Duke of Qin, and then said: "Zhang Yixi entered the old Qin, and the solidity of the Cuihan he saw can still be seen in this Lingnan Wancheng today, which is really eye-opening and ingenious!" ”
The top floor of Lingyuntai is the place where the abbot is three zhang, plus the table case futon should be laid, there are not many people to accommodate, above the Great Qin Dynasty, the ministers who attended the banquet of the nine guests are the minister of state Han Kui, Situ Bailihuai, Si Kou Shen case, Zong Zheng Yingshen and other people, plus Lin Yuyan, who was the prince at this time.
As for the old Qin mission, Zhang Yi went with two guests, but the Ying Qian, who was acting obediently in Wancheng, did not appear on Lingyuntai.
Listening to Zhang Yi's flattery, Duke Qin also frowned, looked at Zhang Yi and said unhappily: "What about Yingqian? ”
Zhang Yi replied with a smile: "Back to Duke Qin, Gongziqian occasionally felt cold, and now he is resting in the Wancheng Post House, this time the old Qin Office is sending Zhang Yi as a messenger, Gongziqian is brave, but to protect Zhang Yi, Gongziqian's task has been completed......"
"Oh......" Duke Qin turned his head and looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Listening to Zhang Zi's accent, it doesn't seem to be an old Qin person. ”
"Shandong scholar Zhang Yi, I have seen Duke Qin!" Zhang Yi also stepped down along the slope, and immediately saluted the Duke of Qin and many courtiers again.
It sounded like a Shandong scholar, and Duke Qin also looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Lao Qin wants to exclude the children of Shandong, and Zhang Zi can also be a righteous envoy in Lao Qin?" ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Duke Qin doesn't know, Lao Qin is now also a son of Shandong as a virtuous minister who governs Lao Qin, such as the old friend of your country's Han Xiang is now Lao Qin's Zuo Chief, this time, Zuo Shu Chang is also entrusted to say hello to Han Xiang." ”
Han Kui also turned his head, looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Old Qin's Zuo Chief, but Gongsun Ying?" ”
"Exactly!" Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Han Xiangshang still remembers Zuo Shuchang, when he was in Liyang, Zuo Shuchang was still worried, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and Han Xiang didn't remember his old man......"
Han Kui also replied: "I haven't heard of Wei Ying's news for seven years, who could have expected that the old friend actually went to the land of Lao Qin, and he was the left chief of Lao Qin!" ”
"Lao Qin and Nan Qin are connected to the same tree, it seems that it is really a great fate!" Zhang Yi also turned his head, and his words also made the surrounding Southern Qin courtiers weaken some of the intervals.
Lin Yuyan also looked at this envoy of the Northern Qin, Zhang Yi, but nodded secretly, the two countries came to make Lin Yuyan think that he had also seen a lot, there were noble like Qu Ping of Chu State, smart like Fan Li of Wu State, and humble gentleman like Li Ke of Wei State, but there is really no one who can be familiar with this Northern Qin Zhang Yi.
In a few simple words, it is to eliminate the previous father's question of "why Gongzi Yingqian didn't come", and by virtue of the friendship between Han Kui and his former friend Sun Ying, the prince of Weiguo, a few simple words have eliminated the estrangement of the Southern Qin Dynasty.
I have to say that although this envoy of Northern Qin seems to be not very serious, Lin Yuyan really has to admit that the benefits of this person's tongue are enough to let the interests between the two countries be left to his own instigation.
Sure enough, this envoy of the Northern Qin relied on the slight drunkenness of the wine, and he was also quite heroic and sang Qin Feng Wuyi, and in the end, he actually moaned with tears in his eyes, and told the courtiers of the Southern Qin how the old Qin people fought bloodily in the land of Guanxi, so that they could get out of the mountains of Longxi again and recover the lost land of the ancestors in the area of Liyang.
Then it was traced back to the roots, speaking of the original Southern Qin several tribes surnamed Ying crossed the Qinling Mountains and came to this Lingnan land to establish the foundation of the Southern Qin that now occupies the land of the six counties, Zhang Yi's Huazi Lizao is undoubtedly the Southern Qin Dynasty several generations of ancestors, especially the current Shang Qin Gong praised directly comparable to the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times!
In this way, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, even the Duke of Qin listened to Zhang Yi's praise, and he was quite complacent, and those Southern Qin Chenqing, who were then praised by Zhang Yi one by one as the pillars of the country, also had a good impression of this Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi's memory is very amazing, like the Shen family of the Sikou Shen case, and the Xia family of Taishi Xia Wuti, all of whom were found by Zhang Yi in the old Qin of Guanxi, with this, the Southern Qin Dynasty all let go of their last vigilance against Zhang Yi.
Of course, there are only two people who maintain restraint in this, one is Lin Yuyan, and the other is naturally Han Kui.
Because of Lin Yuyan's special status as the prince, Zhang Yi does not know whether there is suspicion between Duke Qin and Lin Yuyan now, if there is suspicion, Zhang Yi will praise and disparage Lin Yuyan, and they will be taboo, so Zhang Yi plans to leave his relationship with Gongziyan until private.
As for Han Kui, it is completely determined, Han Kui does not value fame and fortune, but hopes to enrich the Legalist doctrine through practice, Zhang Yi's seemingly natural praise, for Han Kui, is just listening.
Sweeping Lin Yuyan's face, Han Kui finally turned to look at Zhang Yi sideways, and asked directly: "This time Lao Qin sent an envoy to Wancheng, there must be something important to discuss, Zhang Zi might as well use this opportunity to make it clear......
