Section 448 Zhao Guo wants to save face
What if you start researching glass?
Unfortunately, Bai Hui doesn't understand the principles of optics either.
After a few days of quarrels in the court, Qin Zhao fought for a few days over the trade of farm tools, and Zhao Guo exchanged grain and iron ingots for new farm tools, which was settled, and the specific price was estimated to be fought for a few days.
King Qin and Bai Hui left Xianyang.
The king of Qin was going to Luoyi to sign a covenant with the kings of Chu and Zhao, as well as the kings of Han and Wei, who were still nominally kings, to sign a two-year pact not to attack the world.
Bai Hui is going to sea, and it is not a few days before the beginning of spring.
Not to mention a lot of preparations, the important thing is that this time the Empress Dowager Xuan is going to sea, so Bai Hui has to personally go to see the four big ships in his fleet, whether this ship is reliable, and how to rescue in case of danger.
It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually quite hard to do.
When Bai Hui arrived in Luoyi, Lin Xiangru's death reached Luoyi.
King Zhao was walking back and forth in the Zhao Palace in Luoyi, how could he not have imagined that it would be such a result.
Tian Buli sat aside, carefully examined the contents of the deputy envoy of Zhao and other reports in the envoy group, and then looked through the official documents given by Qin State.
"Your Majesty, according to the ministers, this is how things are."
"What Xiangguo means is that Qin Guo didn't tell a lie, and what the rest of the envoys said is also true?" What made King Zhao unacceptable was not the death of Lin Xiangru, but the death of the envoy.
The envoy represents the face of the Zhao State.
Tian Buli said: "The minister can't figure out this matter, but this Lin Xiangru has been disrespectful to the King of Qin several times, and this thing is very strange." But Qin's statement was also correct, Zhao envoy demanded that the king of Qin must bathe and fast, but he asked for food, which was the cause of the king's displeasure in the first place. ”
"Why fast?"
King Zhao couldn't figure it out, the original simple jade pu for farm tools, just negotiate the price directly.
"I'm afraid I want to raise the price." Tian Buli gave a guess that was not an explanation.
King Zhao laughed: "Ignorance, stupidity. ”
Tian Buli also said: "You can argue with Qin Guo Baihui on the surface, even if you quarrel, it doesn't matter, bargaining on business matters is normal." But if you think about it unnecessarily, I'm afraid it's ......"
"However, my envoy of Zhao died in Xianyang, and this matter is very humiliating." King Zhao has his own worries.
Tian Buli asked: "Then the king, does Zhao Guo want face or benefits?" ”
"Can't you do it all?"
King Zhao is not greedy, but the normal mind of a normal person, and he doesn't want to lose face or inside.
Tian Buli had no choice but to say: "I heard that Bai Hui has entered the city, and the minister went to see him." ”
"Xiangguo has worked hard."
Luoyi, Baifu.
Bai Hui was sitting at his desk and was about to flip through the travel preparation materials reported by Fan Ju, when he heard a report from an attendant, and Zhao Guoxiang Guotian was rude.
Tian Buli didn't come empty-handed, and he still had a gift to give.
It doesn't matter if the gift is expensive or not, what matters is the attitude.
Bai Hui invited Tian Buli to the study, ordered someone to serve tea, and ordered the waiter to retreat. Tian Buli also motioned for his entourage to leave.
Tian Buli's entourage and guards retreated, and Tian Buli came on the king's orders to discuss important matters. This is really a rare, very rare opportunity for Bai Hui and Tian Buli to meet alone.
After everyone retreated, Tian Buli got up and gave a salute first.
There was no need to say anything, Bai Hui also understood that Tian Buli's gift was to thank him for helping him let Zhao Guo buy farm tools.
"The people's livelihood in the world is the foundation, and if you think about Mr. Su Qin's words back then, it is the avenue."
Bai Hui said two sentences without beginning or end, and Tian Buli also understood.
In Tian Buli's ears, the Qin State still has seven years to go without attacking, and if the Zhao State is too poor and hungry, it may not be a good thing for the Qin State.
At the same time, Bai Hui was also telling Tian Buli that any conspiracy and trickery could not compare to the power of a strong country and army.
Qin and Zhao, the final victory or defeat is still in the national strength of the two countries and the combat power of the two armies of Qin and Zhao.
Tian Buli didn't answer, but asked: "Dare to ask Dahejun, Lin Xiangru, can you help me Zhao Guo." ”
"It's not that hard."
"Please teach Dahe-kun."
Bai Hui said: "When Lin Xiangru was going to Qin, he was bitten by a mad dog on the way, and he went crazy just above the palace of my Qin Kingdom, like a mad dog. The deputy envoy of Zhao State was worried and sad about my king, and personally blocked in front of the crazy Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru was extremely crazy. In desperation, the deputy envoy of Zhao State accidentally killed him. ”
Tian Buli asked: "This reason, can people in the world be convinced?" ”
"I don't need the people of the world to be convinced, it's just an excuse to save face for Qin and Zhao, as for whether the people of the world believe it or not, even if what was just said is the truth, some people will also make up some inappropriate words. So the most important thing is the result. ”
"Taught."
Tian Buli gave another salute.
However, he didn't agree with Bai Hui's theory very much in his heart.
It's not that Bai Hui is wrong, but who is using it. Bai Hui can do this, but he can't do this.
Thinking about it again, Tian Buli suddenly felt a little lost.
Each of these top people in the Qin State is something that the world cannot emulate.
Let's talk about this Empress Dowager Xuan first, the Empress Dowager Xuan's practice is, I did it, who likes to say whatever it wants. Let's talk about King Qin, King Qin is that I didn't do anything, and I feel free to say whatever I want. Wei Ran is whether I have done it or not, and no one can say anything about me at will.
And the Bai brothers are more extreme.
Bai Qi is, anyone who makes irresponsible remarks about Daqin, then I will beat you until you shut up. What Da Qin wants you to say, if you don't say it, I will hit you until you speak.
Bai Hui is, whatever I do, please applaud me, please sing my praises. You can scold me behind your back, but praise me on the surface. If you don't agree, my brother is Bai Qi, I have subordinates and four guards, and I have King Qin behind me, and Empress Dowager Xuan.
Therefore, what I Bai Hui do must be for the good of the world and the good of the nations.
At this time, Tian Buli was very entangled, because the solution given by Bai Hui could only be done by Bai Hui, and Zhao Guo could not do it. Zhao Guo has not yet been able to shut up the people of the world.
Tian Buli reluctantly asked again: "In this matter, can you ask Dahejun to save my Zhao Guo's face." ”
In this way, it is said that Lin Xiangru broke the jade pu by mistake, and asked himself to apologize for his sins with death. I, the Qin State, naturally can't bear to hurt the Zhao envoy, but the Zhao State is the friendship of Qin and Zhao, and Lin Xiangru wants to protect the name, so I ask the deputy envoy of the Zhao State to do it, and I ask for a heavy responsibility to thank Wang En. ”
Bai Hui's words made Tian Buli stunned.
Is that okay?
As soon as Tian Buli was about to speak, Bai Hui said, "Regarding that piece of jade, you can rest assured. I sent someone to smash it, and I didn't have to smash it into pieces, just knock off a few corners and just damage them. ”
Tian Buli was shocked: "Dahejun, this ......"
Tian Buli didn't know what to say, such a piece of jade Baihui was willing to smash it.
