Chapter 9: See the real chapter when the picture is poor

"Oh, what do you say?" Zhou Zheng wondered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhou Zheng suspiciously, and asked, "Guest officer, are you not familiar with Master Chen?" ”

"It's not, Brother Chen and I haven't seen each other for several years." Zhou Zheng explained.

"I see, this Lord Chen is the youngest son of our Qi State Zhongyong Uncle and Lingyang City Lord, I heard that he has traveled abroad since he was a child and has a wide range of knowledge, no, this time the king appointed Lord Chen and the envoy of Qin State to discuss the alliance." The shopkeeper said thoughtfully.

"Oh, that's right, no wonder." Zhou Zheng suddenly realized that the method that Chen Zichen taught him when he was in Jinyun City was not something that ordinary people could think of, and now he knew that his family background was originally good, and the education he received since he was a child was different, which was much better than his old man.

...

"Zichen, I heard that you told the widow about a family matter?" King Qi looked at Chen Zichen with a smile and asked.

Chen Zichen hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The king, the minister is the master of the king, please ask the king to surrender." ”

"It's okay, the widow said that you have full control over the alliance. What's more, few people understand what is going on at the negotiating table. King Qi looked at Chen Zichen who was pleading with a smile, and walked over to help Chen Zichen up.

"My lord, the minister is not joking, I traveled to Qin more than two years ago, and I heard that the third princess of Qin is both talented and beautiful, and she is deeply loved by the king of Qin. Chen Zichen had the courage to whisper to King Qi.

"Zichen, you... The widow thinks you're just... You call the widow and say how you make it good... King Qi was a little sulking, he didn't intend to criticize Chen Zichen, but as the lord of a country, he has been busy with political affairs for so many years, and he has no time to say this, but there are also two concubines in the harem. Now Chen Zichen is worried about him, although it is a big move, but it is also his kindness, and the marriage with the Qin State will at least make the alliance more solid, which is a double win.

"The king, the strange son is gone, but at this time, I don't know if it can be done or not. However, this alliance will definitely not insult my great Qi's face. Chen Zichen no longer mentioned the love of these children, but talked about business.

"Zichen, the three conditions you mentioned have also been read, all of them are beneficial to my Daqi, but they are not a little harsh, the first one is unknown, but it is impossible to want the three granaries of Chu State; The second is to borrow 50,000 soldiers, I don't think the Qin State will agree; Third, it's hard to say that the widow is not a good person, but for the sake of my great qi, I will obey Zichen for this measure. King Qi kept pacing in the study, thinking about Chen Zichen worriedly, and there was no sense of relief on his face.

On the other hand, although Chen Zichen was also a little worried, but there was a look of confidence on his face, and he was confident, he walked behind the bookcase, looked at the topographic map, pointed to the map and said to the king of Qi: "King, please look, I asked Qin to the south of Chu, it is not my real purpose, although there are three granaries south of Chu, but it is not of much significance to my Daqi, the south of Chu is a plain, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit for my Daqi, especially when there is a war, it will stretch the front of my Daqi, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time. The Qin State will drive straight in. ”

King Qi looked at the place Chen Zichen pointed to, and it was indeed a hidden risk, but the three granaries were indeed very tempting, but just now Chen Zichen said that it was not exactly the purpose, which aroused his curiosity. couldn't help asking: "Zichen, don't sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, what is your purpose?" ”

Chen Zichen looked at a place on the map, pointed with his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, my purpose is Jiangmen." ”

"Jiangmen?" King Qi wondered.

"Yes, it's Jiangmen, Jiangmen is located in the northwest of my Daqi, and it is also a port of my Daqi to Chudi, Chu water runs through Jiangmen City, there are more than 150 li in my Daqi, and about 300 li in Chudi, what I want is the west of Chudi, where the land is barren, and the people are strong, the people of Chu have never paid attention to it, there is only a big city in Tailin, and the other cities are nameless, I think Qin has no reason to refuse such a reason." Chen Zichen took a breath and said his purpose.

King Qi was still puzzled: "Zichen, since the western part of Chu is barren, wouldn't it be even more of a burden for me to come to Daqi?" ”

"After listening to me, the western part of Chu is uneven, and there are many mountains and forests, it is not only a good place to attack and defend, but also a good place to replenish the source of soldiers, when I traveled there, I became interested in him, we can train a naval army in Jiangmen, down the river, you can quickly point to the Qin State, enter can be attacked, retreat can be defended is the real blessed land of soldiers." Chen Zichen said with a smile.

King Qi stared at the map for a long time before he smiled and said, "Yes, Zichen, you think well, although the widow doesn't know what is going on there, but you can just be there, the widow believes you." But will the Qin Congress agree? ”

"Don't worry, the king can rest assured, when the Qin State sees that we are changing from the south to the west, they will agree, and they will definitely analyze our intentions, they will think that we are coveting, and they can also garrison troops on the border to restrain us, in short, they will be very relieved of us." Chen Zichen persuaded Qi Wangdao.

King Qi nodded, indicating that he agreed with Chen Zichen's opinion, and Chen Zichen's idea, he thought about it again and again, and agreed, rather than asking for the "good conditions" offered by the Qin State, it was better to lay out according to his own intentions. In terms of ability, he is not as good as Chen Zichen, but there are some things that Chen Zichen can not do, although he is not a king who does much, but he still has some of his own means.

"Great King, I think we should step up our military training, and prepare as soon as possible for us to take Chushui and the west in one fell swoop once the Qin State and the Chu State go to war. You can't leave your own things in someone else's home. Chen Zichen thought about it again and again, and put forward his opinions to King Qi with some embarrassment.

"Okay, when you have an alliance with the Qin State, the widow will do this for you again, and you can rest assured." King Qi said seriously.

"Thank you for your understanding." Chen Zichen bowed to King Xie Qi.

"By the way, Zichen, you haven't talked to the widow about the other two conditions." King Qi asked with some curiosity, he also understood that Chen Zichen must be laying out so many things about the western part of Chu and Chu Shui, but he didn't know how big Chen Zichen's bureau was, and it was inconvenient for him to ask. If a person always says that he believes in another person, but keeps telling the other person's secrets, it is the same as distrust. No matter what you do, you must grasp a degree.

Chen Zichen patted his head and blamed himself: "Hehe, king, look at my head, forget about things, if the first condition just now is a foreshadowing for the future of my Daqi, then this second condition is the focus of my Daqi in the future, it is inseparable from the third condition, I know that 50,000 elite soldiers are too much, when the time comes, I will ask Qin State for the reason of marriage to marry 10,000 elite soldiers, from 50,000 to 10,000, I think this is also something they can't refuse, and when the time comes, I will choose to go from the land of chaos, I measure him Qin State will not dare not send troops to escort, When the time comes, we will have a reason to leave 8,000 elite soldiers behind. ”

King Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Zichen, you have a good idea, I thought wrong just now." ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Zichen looked at King Qi suspiciously.

King Qi said with a smile: "This Qin State lost the princess and broke the army, and he is still not angry?" Just now I thought that marriage was a double win, but now it seems that it is a triple win, or even a lot. It seems that marriage is imperative. King Qi sighed after speaking.

"Yes, it's imperative." Chen Zichen said categorically.

"Zichen, thank you for your hard work, although the matter has not been completed, but the widow has already thought that the thing has been successful, the ancients often said: 'The Maven can get the capable', but the widow does not think that he is the Maven, but you can get Zichen, you are capable, and the widow is also content." King Qi said affectionately.

If there is no friendship with Chen Zichen since childhood, there is no sentence "In order to dominate the world, I will make a front stop for the prince", King Qi thinks that he will not get Chen Zichen's allegiance now, and the situation in Qi is not good now, although King Qi is somewhat hollowed, but the princely means are still there. It's just that there are some things he doesn't want to do, and he may not be able to do it well, Chen Zichen is like a good medicine, giving King Qi great expectations.

Similarly, the reason why Chen Zichen thought about it again and again and wanted to return to Qi and make Qi rich and strong was because he thought that if there was no idea that the prince wanted to travel, then he would not have the opportunity to travel by himself. So now Chen Zichen is doing his best to change the Qi country step by step, of course, his ability is still very weak.

However, some things are a process of accumulation, not to mention, Chen Zichen is still young now, but there is not much time left for him.

There is a poem that says:

Clever tricks should be made by Qin,

Ten thousand mountains to bury the extreme.

The truth of the monarch and the minister has no ancients,

The afterlife is also empty.

There are also descendants who give these two monarchs and ministers:

No one can match the king, and who dares to compare with the ministers.
