Qin envoy Wang Ji was cautious during his stay in Linzi according to Fan Ju's instructions, and he didn't even dare to go out of the door of the pavilion, thinking that he would be able to return home if everything went well, but he didn't expect that things would suddenly take such a big turn.

When he was woken up in the middle of the night and came to the palace of Qi in a daze, he found that the king of Qi and the generals and courtiers of Qi had already put on a posture and waited for him, with grim faces. What made him even more uneasy was that Chang'an Jun, the proton of Zhao State, who should have been sent out of Qi State the day after tomorrow, was also among them, and he was talking to Housheng and looked very close.

It is worth noting that Chang Anjun seems to have been painted on his body and has just been dealt with, but he has a calm expression on his face, and after seeing Wang Ji, he looked at him curiously a few more times.

This was the first meeting between Qin and Zhao.

The King of Qi had always avoided encountering them, and had never even publicly acknowledged that the Qin State had envoys in Linzi. But today, Wang Ji was directly exposed in front of everyone, Wang Ji secretly felt that things were not good, and he could only rely on years of experience as an envoy to stabilize his mind, and said: "King, I don't know what to summon the ministers? ”

"So that the Qin envoy knows that just tonight, Chang Anjun was assassinated on the street." King Qi said lightly.

"Huh?" Wang Ji was a little surprised, then calmed down, and spread his hands and said: "This kind of thing happened, I don't know anything about it in the hall. "Look at what he means, the assassination of the proton of Zhao Guo, what does it have to do with the Qin people? Wind horses and cows are not related!

"Does your envoy really know anything?" Mingyue interrupted him with a smile, pretending to be surprised: "Yan Ren didn't inform Qin Guo about this?" Isn't Qin Yan an ally with the same voice? ”

"Yan Guo?" Wang Ji was a little confused. "Could it be that the assassin was done by the Yan people?"

"However, it was the people of the Yan State who planned the assassination of me, and besides, the Yan State had just started a war against the Zhao State, which was not instructed by the Qin State?"

"Great King, the foreign minister doesn't know what Chang'an Jun is talking about, and Qin Guo doesn't know anything about it!" Wang Ji felt the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't talk nonsense with Chang'anjun, so he denied it.

His face was full of innocence, and he really didn't know anything, which made King Qi suspicious.

Mingyue stood up just right, and laughed: "It seems that your country's envoys have hidden it......"

He sighed: "Your Majesty, Doctors, let me tell you in detail what is going on!" ”

……

In fact, before today, according to the plan discussed by Mingyue and the people of the Proton Mansion, they only planned to plan a fake assassination, and then splash dirty water on the Qin envoy, muddy the water, and delay the time for the Qi State to turn its back on the Zhao State and join the Qin State.

The risk of this matter is very great, it all depends on who the king of Qi ends up falling towards, and the success rate is fifty-fifty.

However, in the evening, before going to have a private meeting with Tian Jia as agreed, Mingyue received a letter from the king of the plains in China, saying that at the end of June, Yan suddenly sent troops to attack Zhao!

The Yan army took the Song soldier's family Rong Worm as the commander, and the menacing came to catch Zhao Guo off guard, but for Mingyue, this matter was undoubtedly a relief in the snow......

At that time, Mingyue's first thought was: "This is God helping me!" ”

Yan has always been in harmony with Qin, and is faintly hostile to Zhao, so it is understandable to help Qin attack Zhao. But Mingyue couldn't figure out why King Yan had to wait for the Qin State to withdraw its troops and suddenly attack Zhao. Although there are many suspicions, it is undoubtedly a good assist, Mingyue simply changed the assassination to blame Yan Guo, although the final assassination turned the fake into reality, he and Zhao Kuo both ended up with colors, but it did not affect the overall situation.

This news was only a few hours earlier than the Qi people received, and now, the news of Yan's attack on Zhao, the King of Qi and others have also known, only the Qin envoy Wang Ji, who is inconvenient for the news, is still in the dark, and in the diplomatic arena, this is fatal!

Now, there is only one thing left for Mingyue to do, and that is to connect several unrelated clues, and then weave a "conspiracy" that King Qi also believes is true.

According to the way people told it in the Warring States Period, Mingyue first slowly told a story that everyone was familiar with......

"Three hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Yu were located on both sides of the Great River, one north and one south. At that time, Jin Xiangong wanted to annex the Kingdom of Yu, so he borrowed the road from the State of Yu to send troops. Gong Zhiqi, the minister of Yu State, dissuaded Yu Gong and said: "Yu Guo is the barrier of Yu State, and the relationship between the two countries, such as auxiliary cars, is dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and if Yu perishes, Yu will also die in the country." However, Duke Yu did not listen, he was greedy for the treasure horse presented by the Jin State, and agreed to the request of the envoy of the Jin State, thinking that the Yu State and the Jin State were on a blind date, and the Jin State would never attack him. In the winter of that year, the Jin army was wiped out, and when he returned, he borrowed the residence of Yu State, took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack the capital, captured Yu Gong alive, and Yu Yu was all killed......"

After telling the story of this "false way", Mingyue said sincerely: "Now the relationship between Qi and Zhao, such as Yu Yu, Zhao is the lips, Qi is the teeth, and they are interdependent. With Zhao as a day, Qi does not have to worry about the invasion from the West, and with Qi as a backer, Zhao does not have to worry about a fire in the rear. In the spring and summer of this year, the Zhao Qi alliance and An Pingjun sent troops to Taoqiu, thwarting the intention of Qiang Qin to attack Zhao in order to cut off the spine of the world. So the prime minister of Qin came up with a clever plan, that is, the so-called long-distance and close attack, in a vain attempt to divide Qi Zhao! ”

Hearing this, Wang Ji was dumbfounded, and shouted in his heart:

"Outbred and close? Weird! How does this son know the name of the prime minister's clever plan! ”

Wang Ji didn't refute this distraction in time, so that Mingyue continued to speak.

"In order to break up the Qi-Zhao alliance, the Qin State first let the Qin envoy enter Qi, deceived the king's trust, and made Zhao Qi centrifuge, but fortunately, the king was wise and did not listen to the Qin envoy's words to kill me......"

This is Mingyue's guess, speaking of this, he looked up at King Qi, and sure enough, King Qi seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and Qin made Wang Ji even more speechless.

When Wang Ji first came to the Qi Kingdom, in order to bargain, he did ask the King of Qi to kill Chang'an Jun again and again to show the sincerity of Zhao. King Qi didn't agree in the end, and Wang Ji didn't press, but who expected, this point became a weapon used by Mingyue to attack Wang Ji!

"The king sent me back to China, and I am still friendly with Zhao State, which is undoubtedly inconsistent with the plan of Qin State and Yan State. So Yan sent someone to assassinate the kid, as long as I die in Qi State, the queen mother will be furious, Qi Zhao turned against him, and Qi State can only move closer to Qin State. At this time, the Yan State and the Qin State sent troops to attack Zhao again, and the Qi State would not be saved, so the conspiracy between the Qin State and the Yan State would succeed! ”

After speaking, he turned back and pointed at Wang Ji and said: "Qin envoy doesn't know yet, Yan State has started a war against Zhao State, and now, how can you quibble!" The king, the Qin envoy is called a good neighbor, but he is actually a spy, this is to deceive the Qi country! “

Mingyue's words were conclusive, King Qi had already believed it for seven points, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked Wang Ji: "Qin envoy, is it really as Chang'an Jun said?" ”

Qin made Wang Ji suspicious, although the prime minister also sent people to befriend Yan Guo, but whether there was such a thing or not, he didn't know! Chang'an Jun's plan not only made the King of Qi suspicious of Qin, but also made Wang Ji suspicious of Yan, and even suspected Fan Julai, the prime minister has always been conspiring and wise, who knows if he will let him envoy Qi State openly, but secretly sent an envoy to Yan State......

Doubt is like a seed of a plant, it only needs a little verbal cloud and rain to water it to sprout, Wang Ji knows that King Qi and himself have been deeply involved, at this time, he can't care if the matter is true or false, he will deny it first.

So Wang Ji hurriedly said: "King, the foreign minister's trip is just to make friends with the Qi State, and there is no intention of deception, the heart of the widow is like this, and so is the heart of Qin Xiang." The king can rest assured that the border towns promised by the Qin State will soon be transferred to the Qi State, and the protons of the Qin State will be able to enter the Qi State next month, and I hope the king will think about it......"

Wang Ji wanted to continue to tempt the King of Qi in Xiaozhi, but Mingyue immediately stood up and said: "The king should indeed think about it, which country does the Qin State really want to befriend?" ”

He walked in front of Wang Ji and faced the Qin envoy who was much older than himself, and he was not afraid: "A few years ago, An Pingjun attacked Diyi, which was occupied by the Yan army, and in order to save Yan, the prime minister of Qin, Marquis Sui, crossed Han and Wei and attacked the Gangshou ...... of Qi."

Wang Ji interrupted him and said sharply: "What nonsense! The attack on Gang and Shou had nothing to do with the battle of Di, but it was the selfish work of the Marquis of Sui, wanting to expand his fiefdom, nothing more. The king, now that the marquis has been sealed in the wilderness, and the court of the Qin State has taken on a new look, has the king forgotten that you have an old favor to Prime Minister Fan? ”

"Otherwise, even if the Qin State changes a prime minister, it will still change the soup and not the medicine, because the Qin State is still the King of Qin!"

Mingyue immediately counterattacked: "I heard that when Qin Wangji was still a son, he had been a hostage in Yan Kingdom for many years, and he was very kind to King Yan Zhao and King Yan Hui, and Qin Yan has been an ally for three generations. Please think twice, compared to the Yan State, which has more than 40 years of diplomatic relations, the Qi State is really so important to the Qin State? I'm afraid this is to emulate Zhang Yi's story of bullying Chu Qi. ”

When he said this, he was excited, and the whole person almost jumped up, pointed at the tip of Wang Ji's nose and reprimanded: "Do you think you are Zhang Yi, and the king is the mediocre King Chu Huai?" ”

……

"You...... You erector! ”

Wang Ji was a little stammered, he also understood that as long as the Yan State was involved, the attitude of the King of Qi was not very predictable, after all, the hatred between the two countries could not be solved, he knew that Chang'an Jun was alarmist, but in the face of the assassination that had already taken place, and the Yan State that suddenly started a war against the Zhao State, he was speechless.

Mingyue made persistent efforts and said: "Now that the Yan State has sent troops to attack Zhao, the Qin State will soon attack the West. Wait until the defeat of Zhao State, lose the division and lose the land, Qin gets Taiyuan, and Yan gets the river. At that time, the Yan State will definitely become a strong state in the north, and when the time comes, the Qin State will cooperate with the Yan State to fight Qi, can the king stop it? The lips are cold and the teeth are cold, does the king still want Mrs. Jun and the prince to repeat the mistakes of the past and run away from the shame of Chengyang again? ”

A sentence made the King of Qi give up thinking about the benefits of the Qin State, and the Qin envoy promised to bring the security of the Qi State. Compared to that little border town, the proton that has no shadow, Yan Guo is what Qi Country is most worried about......

A Yan country that is friendly with Qin and has no threat from Zhao State, and a Yan country that is so strong that it drinks the Great River of Horses again, that will be a nightmare for Qi State!

"The will of the widow has been decided......

King Qi looked at Qin envoy Wang Ji and said slowly: "Please also ask Qin envoy to go back to Xianyang first, and explain to Qin King Qin that Qin wants to be friendly with Qi, and this intention is not understood, but Qi Yan can't exist in two, whether it is Lianqi or Lianyan, I still hope that King Qin will choose...... The alliance between the two countries will be talked about later. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ji's face turned pale, and Mingyue smiled impliedly.

Although the King of Qi said it very tactfully, the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, he had issued an order to the Qin envoy Wang Ji to expel the guest!

The relationship between the Seven Heroes is complicated, but there is basically no overnight feud, except for Qi and Yan, and it is not easy for Qin to pull them into Lianheng at the same time. This is just like on the eve of World War I, Germany wanted to establish an alliance of the Three Emperors, and the contradictory Russia and Austria-Hungary would inevitably fail.

But this choice is something that Qin makes Wang Ji unable to decide with full power, even if he wants to argue again, but after all, there is no Zhang Yi and Su Qin's eloquence, the general trend has gone, and no matter how strong the argument is, it will not help.

"I won!"

Looking at Wang Ji's back as he slipped away, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had been worried for so many days, and he had exhausted all the tricks, and he could finally sleep peacefully......

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, King Qi had changed his attitude towards him, and his sallow and thin face was smiling, like a skeleton with bad intentions.

"Thanks to my nephew, I thwarted the conspiracy of Qin and Yan to divide Qi and Zhao, and the widow snubbed you a few days ago, confessor!"

"The servants are here!" Hou Sheng hurriedly came out of the ranks.

"Chang'anjun will not return to China for the time being, he will continue to stay in Linzi, and the widow should treat him as a distinguished guest! The Proton Mansion is dilapidated and empty, and it is not safe, so quickly find a new house and let Chang Anjun move over. ”

This is to isolate Mingyue from Anping Junfu......

With the support of the queen, the king of Qi reluctantly got up and announced: "In addition, the widow also plans to marry Zhao to consolidate the good relationship between the two countries, and have a kiss and kiss!" The eldest princess will marry King Zhao! ”

This news shocked everyone in the palace, and King Qi's face changed too quickly! The eldest princess also planned to marry the prince of Wei before, so that she could achieve the succession of Qin, Wei, and Qi!

However, what surprised Mingyue even more was still behind, and King Qi actually pointed at him and said, "My nephew, you are the great hero of Qi Zhao's friendship this time, how can you not be rewarded?" The widow asked you, would you like to marry a princess of Qi Guoshu? ”
