Chapter 21: Clever Tongue and Battle of the Ministers (II)

Chen Zichen knew that it was not easy to pass today, there was a big difference between the ministers of the Qin State and the ministers of the Qi State, and even Chen Zichen had to admit it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Okay, the covenant has been signed, but the widow asks you, why don't you want the widow to promise you the fifteen cities of the Qi country, instead of choosing the western part of the Chu country? It's desolate and barren, except for a Chu Shui, there's nothing, you don't want to put the favorable conditions, why did you choose there? "King Qin's question is undoubted, and Chen Zichen must answer it.

"King Mingjian of Qin, the king of my family is really forced to ask for the west of Chudi. The king of my family knows very well that if the Qin State goes out to war, it must be indispensable for grain and grass, and my Qi and Qin have already formed an alliance by then, but as Lord Lu said, my Qi country is poor and cannot support the allies in terms of grain and grass, so my king decided to let the Qin State receive the three granaries of Chu alone to show friendship. Chen Zichen talked nonsense easily, and he didn't feel a little blushing.

"Oh? Wouldn't the widow still thank King Qi for his generosity and generosity? King Qin was a little displeased when he heard Chen Zichen's words, and asked rhetorically.

"If King Qin can have this demeanor, it would be great, and the minister will replace my King Qi and thank the king." Chen Zichen went straight to the pole and left no room for anything.

He knew that shrinking his head was a knife, and stretching his head was also a knife, so it was better to stretch his head, and he would not dare King Qin to really give up the covenant.

"Hmph." King Qin snorted coldly, glared at Chen Zichen, and didn't say anything more. At the same time, the general Wang Dang asked leisurely: "May I ask Lord Chen, what is the purpose of your Qi State asking for Chu Shui?" Wang Dang asked Chen Zichen a little knowingly.

"General, my Qi country has always pursued the principle that the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of defending people is indispensable, and I believe that the general can also understand one or two." Chen Zichen didn't say it so ugly this time, at least a little subtlely.

Wang Dang nodded, he understood Chen Zichen's words, and also appreciated Chen Zichen's courage to tell the truth, but his heart was still uncomfortable, as a general galloping on the battlefield, he was still a little unhappy to be threatened so blatantly, in his heart, at this time, Lingyang, the capital of Qi State, had been stepped on by him ten thousand times. Even he felt in his heart that only the State of Qi had Chen Zichen there, and it would definitely become a big disaster for the State of Qin in the future, but now that the State of Qin needs the State of Qi, let me bear it for the time being.

"Okay, you Aiqing don't have to say more, things are like this." King Qin was a little unhappy and quickly terminated the conversation. Of course, this is Fang Ping's eyes at him, Fang Ping has observed Chen Zichen for a long time, and he also has the same feeling as the great general Wang Dang, this person will be in great trouble. He reminded King Qin that the matter could be over, because no matter how this matter was, no matter how embarrassing the Qi people were in the court, the alliance would still be an alliance, and the conditions would not change. Now Fang Ping's biggest worry is how to persuade the third princess, of course, for the sake of the great cause of the Qin State, the third princess will definitely agree.

"Oh? The envoy of the Qi State really said this to his father. The dignified woman, with some sparkle in her eyes, asked the maid in front of her.

"Yes, princess, the palace is lively today, that envoy of Qi is really good at talking, and the Lord Xiangguo and the general have nothing to say." The maid said with some excitement.

The third princess sighed slightly, knowing that she couldn't escape this matter. Although he didn't plan to change the ending, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so fast that his father didn't dare to come to see him, and the brother he brought up couldn't bear to come to see him.

"Princess, isn't the Qi country very far away?" The maid asked that if the princess married, she would also marry with the princess to the Qi Kingdom.

"Qi Guo? I don't know, but I don't think the envoy of the Qi country came so quickly, it's not very far. The eyes of the third princess seemed to pass through the clouds, and they saw the Lingyang of Qi at a glance. Others don't know the ambitions of the Qin State, but how could the third princess not know, she is a little afraid that if there is a war between the Qin State and the Qi State one day.

"Master Ma, thank you for today." Chen Zichen thanked Ma Daoyuan. Today, Chen Zichen must thank Ma Daoyuan, although he embarrassed himself in Qi State, but today's incident, Chen Zichen must say a word, not to disgrace Qi State.

"Hmph, the old man is for the Qi country, is it for you, a yellow-mouthed child?" Ma Daoyuan is still reluctant to buy Chen Zichen's account, but he has changed a lot about Chen Zichen.

"Whatever you say, I have to thank you, we will leave for China in three days, and when the time comes, you will always be there." Chen Zichen subconsciously respected Ma Daoyuan, in fact, Chen Zichen was not willing to be enemies of so many old ministers and important ministers in the court of Qi State, but if he could be a rich and powerful person for Qi State, Chen Zichen was willing to deal with him. In fact, in the end, it is still the same sentence: take people's money and eliminate disasters for others.

...。。

"Lord Chen, this time you came to our Qin Kingdom, we didn't embarrass you at all, the matter is over like this, and now I can rest assured." Gou Yue set up wine in the restaurant, and invited Chen Zichen, Ma Daoyuan, Lu Huan and his party to celebrate the alliance together, and the prince of Qin came to entertain him as a representative, after all, there was Ma Daoyuan, the head of the household department of Qi State. It's not a good person with a low level.

Prince Qin seemed to be very unfriendly to Chen Zichen, and there were some targets everywhere, but Lu Yu and Wu Zichang were always circling on the side, and they didn't escalate the matter.

After handling the affairs of the alliance well, Chen Zichen was slightly relieved.

In the summer of 198 after the Han Dynasty, Qidi, Lingyang City, and streets

After a lot of hardships and all kinds of tongues, it was not easy to promote the marriage of Qin and Qi, and welcomed the three princesses of Qin to Qi for the king of Qi. Since then, the friendship between the two countries has begun, and hidden dangers have also been buried. At this time, Qi Guocai really realized Chen Zichen, an upstart in officialdom and a wealthy talent.

King Qi promoted Chen Zichen to the left director of the Ministry of Rites before Chen Zichen's envoy, from the official of the fifth grade, just came back, in order to reward Chen Zichen, he was promoted to two levels, and the official rank from the fourth grade, of course, the position has changed. The successful completion of the alliance marriage not only shows Chen Zichen's talent, but also proves that King Qi is not wrong, King Qi will naturally not be stingy, in the troubled times, although there is a law to follow, but after all, it is a few points weaker than the peaceful and prosperous times.

“... Chen Zichen made great contributions to the Qi-Qin Alliance, and specially appointed Chen Zichen as the governor of the Yizheng Hall and led the Dongying Supervision Army and supervised the Dongying Army of the Gyeonggi Daying. Chin this... Yu Dehai duck read out the will of the king of Qi in his voice. He looked at this young man under the age of nineteen with a little jealousy, he was too young, such a young man would become a general, although he was only a prisoner, but it still made many people unable to understand what kind of situation it was. If you say that you used to go against Chen Zichen, everyone would be very sharp with each other in the court, but now, young people are young and vigorous, maybe one of them will arrest you directly if they are unhappy.

"Minister, Chen Zichen, thank you."

"Lord Chen, this time when you promoted the alliance for the king, the king was very happy, and even recommended a queen like the third princess of Qin for the king, the king was gracious and promoted two levels in a row, but the king asked me to remind you not to be complacent." Yu Dehai whispered to Chen Zichen and explained that King Qi values Chen Zichen very much, why should he let Chen Zichen be a prisoner, there is no way, this is what Chen Zichen personally discussed with King Qi, and only asked King Qi to trust him.

"It's time for the manager." Chen Zichen said.

Chen Fudao also did not expect that King Qi would be promoted to his son by two levels in a row, and he also handed over the supervision of the eastern camp of the Gyeonggi camp to Chen Zichen, and the Gyeonggi camp was stationed with 40,000 soldiers and horses, divided into two battalions, east and west, 20,000 per battalion, and was a real powerful figure.

On that day, I don't know how many exhortations were presented in front of the King of Qi, all of them asked the king to think twice, what was illegal, what was too hasty or something. However, since King Qi has decided, he will not change. However, Dong Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, personally met with King Qi and said that King Qi directly appointed Chen Zichen as the supervisor of Dongying without going through the Ministry of War, and they did not agree. However, the king of Qi said that the Gyeonggi camp and the Imperial Forest Army were only ordered by the king of Qi, although they were under the name of the military department, but the military department did not have the right to inquire about their situation. What can the Son of Heaven do with him?

If it is said that the marriage of the Qi-Qin alliance made Chen Zichen recognized by the people of Qi State, then Chen Zichen's appointment as the governor of the Yizheng Hall and the supervisor of the Dongying Army made people talk about it even more, and many people even remembered that Chen Zichen did not have a marriage contract and had any ideas.
