Chapter 14: Weak Qi Yan can resist Qin

While Liu Wenjian was thinking about things, Zhang Yun was also trying to give gifts, and he was bound to do it, which was related to his status in front of King Qin in the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Gou Yue, who lived in Diaoxian Building, also thought about things before and after, there was no way, it seemed that he could only take a middle value between the conditions proposed by Chen Zichen and the results decided by the country, so that his trip to the alliance would look a little better.

Lingyang City, the royal palace, the court

"My lord, as of the day before yesterday, the generals who returned from the frontier have finished their debriefings. No major problems were found, but in the area of Jinyun City, the Chu State sent troops to there, and the minister had instructed Zhou Zheng, the guard of Jinyun City, to pay close attention to its movements and guard against its movements. "Dong Li, the secretary of the military department, was the first to say something today.

Chen Zichen stood in a few positions behind Xu Yuanqing.

"Well, Dong Aiqing, you must strengthen your control over the frontier, and the frontier guards will return to Beijing every year to report on their work, you have done a very good job in this measure, and then you will prepare and submit the general report." King Qi looked at Dong Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and said appreciatively.

"Your Ministers obey." Dong Li is happy that this measure, which was very controversial at the beginning, can now be recognized by the king.

"Xu Aiqing, how is the matter of the alliance going?" Qi Dynasty Xu Yuanqing asked.

"Back to the king, judging from the situation that the minister knows, Lord Chen is still negotiating with the Qin envoy, and the effect is difficult to say, but the day after tomorrow should be the last negotiation, and the matter will be determined, and Lord Chen will report to the king at that time." Xu Yuanqing still didn't count himself in, he said that he knew everything from the side, and pushed everything to Chen Zichen, so that no matter what the outcome would be in the future, he didn't need to bear any responsibility.

King Qi secretly said that Xu Yuanqing was cunning, and turned his gaze to Chen Zichen.

Chen Zichen came out and said with a smile: "Back to the king, as Lord Xu said, the day after tomorrow will be the last negotiation, and you will understand when the time comes." ”

After speaking, Chen Zichen glanced at Xu Yuanqing, only to see Xu Yuanqing glaring at Chen Zichen slightly.

King Qi nodded and encouraged: "No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, Lord Chen just works hard." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Zichen thanked him.

Liu Wenjian looked at everyone in the court indifferently, and kept thinking about how to tell his problems without leaking, and then they could be solved.

"King, the minister has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Liu Wenjian thought about it again and again, and said to King Qi.

"Oh? Liu Aiqing has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. King Qi said with some curiosity, in his opinion, this is not like Liu Wenjian's usual style, and now that Liu Wenjian is talking like this, there must be something wrong.

"Now most people inside and outside the court think that my Qi country is weak, not as strong as the Qin State, and some people even say that 'weak Qi Yan can fight against Qin', I don't know if everyone here has heard such a statement, and I don't know what everyone here thinks of such words." Liu Wenjian's indifferent words released a big bomb, which made everyone in the court look at each other, and also made King Qi slightly stunned. Liu Wenjian seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the effect of his words. In the court of Qi State, everyone has always tried to avoid such a problem, and now, as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Wenjian, the important minister of Qi State, said such a thing, which does make people a little unsure of the meaning of his words.

Chen Fudao also looked at Liu Wenjian with some consternation, in his opinion, Liu Wenjian has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he should not be making a lot of nonsense in the court, and he should be too old to make such a big statement, he must have a plan when he says this today, but he doesn't know what his purpose is.

"Lord Liu, I don't know where you heard this, or what you think, I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but you are responsible for saying such things." Dong Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and was the first to say to Liu Wenjian.

"Lord Dong, what I said is not aimed at your military department, I am just talking about things, and please don't misinterpret what I mean." Liu Wenjian said to Dong Li simply, don't look at his name as "Wen Jian", but it is not simple to do things for others.

"Hey, who can't you hear it, 'Weak Qi Yan can fight against Qin', isn't this just saying that the strength of my Qi State is not as good as that of Qin State? Can't beat the Qin State in a war? Dong Li said sarcastically, he didn't feel anything when he heard this sentence just now, and then the more he recalled, the more he felt that Liu Wenjian was sarcastically mocking him and the military department. Just now he also reported to the king about the return of the frontier general to Beijing to report on his work, Liu Wenjian did not approve of this matter at the beginning, but now seeing that things are developing well, he uses an excuse to ridicule him that the combat effectiveness of the military department is not good, resulting in the weakness of the Qi State, how can he endure this breath.

Liu Wenjian also can't say it, he really didn't target the Ministry of War and Dong Li, he had just automatically filtered Dong Li's report on his work, and after Dong Li's 'invitation to merit', Liu Wenjian raised this matter again, which really looked like it was aimed at the Ministry of War and Dong Li.

No one can control how things turn out, and of course it can't just end like this.

"Lord Dong, don't sit down on the right number, I definitely don't mean what you said. As for the development of your military department, I have been very much in agreement with it in the past few years, and the king and the ministers have also seen it, and it is not something that can be denied by Liu's words. Liu Wenjian said with some annoyance, he hoped that Dong Li could understand the meaning of his words.

Chen Fudao smiled secretly, Liu Wenjian's words ignited the anger of the Ministry of War, and I don't know if Liu Wen briefly targeted Dong Li, but just now Chen Fudao understood this sentence, Liu Wendao did not target the Ministry of War, but the timing of his words was a little wrong. Chen Fudao also secretly had a good time.

Many petty officials in the court council think that Dong Li, the secretary of the military department, will not stop there, but are you a fool to be able to do the secretary of the military department? I can't hear this, and I still do the secretary of the military department, and only those fools can't hear it, Chen Zichen, who was standing behind, glanced at his father and secretly laughed, and knew that things would not be so simple. He was thinking about the purpose of Liu Wenjian's words.

"I didn't sit down, and I didn't have the time to quarrel with you, Lord Liu, I just want to say one thing, no matter which provocateur, as long as you provoke me, 'if you want to fight, you will fight, and you will accompany you to the end'." Dong Li understood Liu Wenjian's words just now, and said forcefully, although he understood that Liu Wenjian's sentence just now that 'weak Qi Yan can fight against Qin' was not aimed at him and the military department, but his spirit as a soldier for many years was still taken out, and he said, 'If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will accompany you to the end', this sentence is not only said to outsiders, but also to Liu Wenjian.

Liu Wenjian didn't refute anything, although Dong Li secretly put down his cruel words, but his current matter was not aimed at Dong Li.

"Okay, the two Aiqing are important ministers of the country, and there is no need to fight for some trivial things." King Qi came out to round the two of them. The two of them went down the slope and didn't say anything more.

"What did Liu Aiqing mean by saying this just now, please explain it to the widow." The king of Qi does not intend to let Liu Wenjian go, he needs to understand this matter, as the king of the Qi country, some people say that the Qi country is not as good as the Qin state, he wants to listen to the reason, of course, he also knows that the Qi country is indeed inferior to the Qin state.

Liu Wenjian sorted out his thoughts, the incident just now disrupted his train of thought a little, he wanted to organize the language and talk about the king of Qi.

"Back to the king, about this matter, the most talked about is the king's handling of political and state affairs." Liu Wen said succinctly.

"Lord Liu, how does the king handle things, and when will it be your turn to point fingers." Chen Fudao looked at the three roads, and said without being salty or light, and he didn't look at Liu Wenjian.

"Uncle Chen, you can't say that, the king is still young after all.." Liu Wenjian said to Chen Fudao.

Strictly speaking, people like Liu Wenjian can only be regarded as high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but people with titles like Chen Fudao are not from the royal family, but they are also inseparable from the royal family. When Chen Fudao saw Liu Wenjian and said that the king was dealing with political affairs, he naturally wanted to add a sentence and disgusted Liu Wenjian.

"Oh? What do you say about widows? King Qi didn't say anything to himself, but looked at Liu Wenjian a little sharply, and asked him to say one or two, otherwise today, Liu Wenjian would not leave so simply.

"To sum up, it is still said that the king is not mature enough and not responsible enough." Liu Wen simply said bluntly, he was not afraid that King Qi would be unhappy.

A wry smile appeared on King Qi's grim face, and he responded, "Oh, saying that the widow is not mature and responsible? It seems that the widow is too young. King Qi looked a little self-deprecating when he said this.

"The king, according to the minister's opinion, it is time to choose a princess for the king, only the queen's harem is peaceful, and with a real family, it will naturally be different from now in dealing with some things, showing maturity." Liu Wenjian said further in due course.

"Oh? And this kind of statement? King Qi wondered.

This kind of saying is common among the people, and the same two people of the same age, those with families and those without families, deal with problems differently and think about problems. The former tends to be more mature, while the latter is a bit pompous. Liu Wenjian said in a deeper way.

"Oh? The widow should indeed choose a princess, as far as the widow knows, it seems that there is no princess at the age of the widow. King Qi said casually.

"The king is wise, and the minister is willing to be." Before Liu Wen finished speaking, Xu Yuanqing rushed out in front of Chen Zichen and said: "King, there is a suitable candidate for the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of the King is not to worry about the Ministry of Labor." ”

Although Chen Zichen was a step late, he still smiled slightly when he saw Xu Yuanqing's behavior, and then said to King Qi: "King, there is already a suitable candidate for the Ministry of Rites, and we have decided to welcome the third princess of Qin as the queen for the king." ”

Liu Wenjian sneered: "Lord Xu, Lord Chen, I'm afraid you are deceiving the king?" ”

"Lord Liu, how do you say this?" Xu Yuanqing asked.

"As far as I know, the envoy of the Qin State seems to be unwilling to marry the third princess of the Qin State to the king?" Liu Wenjian smiled at the two of them and said confidently.

Xu Yuanqing didn't listen to the later negotiations, because after the first negotiation, he had already responded to Chen Zichen that he could handle this matter, so he didn't know too much, so he turned his attention to Chen Zichen.

Chen Zichen sneered.
