Chapter 117: Qin Envoy Wang Ji
"Teng Geng was actually to death!"
In the dormitory, Mrs. Jun, who was halfway through the removal of her makeup, looked stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's not ......" King Qi was also a little shocked, there were dead people in the hall, this was something that had not been encountered for more than ten years.
Today, under the instruction of King Qi, Teng Geng asked the warlocks and heavenly officials to attack Chang'anjun together, but he was killed by Chang'anjun, and he was ashamed of himself. A similar situation also happened once when hunting in Yingqiu Mountain, Teng Geng's heart has always been bad, he couldn't stand it, he woke up by luck, but today he was unlucky, and he died in the palace in public.
This is an extremely rare thing, King Qi even felt that the palace was stained with some bad luck, let Hou Sheng deal with the aftermath, and after glaring at Chang An Jun coldly, he frowned and hurried down.
"What is the king going to do with this?" Mrs. Jun also knew that Na Teng had no real talent and learning, but after all, he was an old minister of Qi and a prince, and he should be buried with a heavy ceremony, the pomp should be big, and the coffin should be thick, and those Confucians should regard the afterlife as more important than the preemonent.
In addition, some of Teng Geng's disciples gathered outside the palace of King Qi and howled and cried, demanding that the "murderer" Chang'an Jun be severely punished.
King Qi shook his head: "Unless the State of Qi wants to completely turn against the State of Zhao, otherwise, the King of Chang'an will not be able to move." Of course, the widow can't be regarded as nothing, and he is temporarily confined to the Proton Mansion, and guards are sent to guard him, and he is not allowed to go out. ”
The queen's heart moved: "Didn't the king want to expel Chang'an Jun before?" Isn't this a good opportunity? If you don't choose what to say, it is not too much to force Doctor Qi to death and blow him away. ”
Qi Wang Tian Fazhang shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I have other plans." ”
King Qi's previous plan was to drive away Chang Anjun without making enemies with Zhao State, but now Chang Anjun has defeated Teng Geng and others, and the charges will not be deducted from him. What's even more troublesome is that because Teng Geng's reputation has always been bad, except for some Confucian disciples who grieve for Teng Geng's death and the death of the rabbit and the fox, all the sons of the Ji are applauding, and the Mo family even claims that Chang'an Jun is a harm to the Qi State.
With the current situation, if Chang'anjun is expelled, there is no guarantee that some corporal Ji will fight for him...... Tian Fazhang didn't want to repeat his father's mistake, and he didn't want to have a bad reputation before he died.
The queen knew in her heart, and the king of Qi hesitated again, what he was thinking about was not Chang'an Jun, but who to accept and reject the hands that Qin and Zhao stretched out at the same time.
Indecisive, this is her husband, when he was in Jucheng, Wang Sun Jia killed Chu General Naoya, and after looking for King Min everywhere, Tian Fazhang hesitated for a long time in order to stand up and admit his identity and become the new king of Qi.
After returning to Linzi, he struggled for a long time about whether to scrap Tiandan or continue to rely on Tiandan, and finally seized Tiandan's phase and received Tiandan's military power, but he kept assigning him positions.
The king of Qi told the queen about his difficulties.
On the one hand, Qin's strength made the King of Qi very excited, as long as Qi let go of his mind to compete with Qin, Qi Qin seemed to be a natural ally! Not to mention that Qin Xiang Fan Ju had sent envoys to Qi and handed over the official credentials.
Fan Ju released such a signal to the King of Qi: "I am still Fan Ju who received the favor of the king back then, I am grateful and grateful to repay my kindness!" Now, the marquis who once presided over the attack on the Qi State has lost power, and the opportunity for Qin Qi to make friends is approaching, and the King of Qin is also willing to be friends with the King of Qi! ”
Of course, Qin Guo also put forward his own request, that is, to completely break off relations with Zhao State! And first of all, it is to drive away or kill Zhao Guo's protons!
This was a step that King Qi was unwilling to take.
"As far as Qi is concerned, Zhao is a near-term worry, Qin is a long-term trouble, according to my national policy, Qi will not easily make enemies, but must make friends with all the states except Yan. Yan is the mortal enemy of Qi, and the one who can pose the greatest threat to Yan is Zhao, not to mention that Zhao still occupies the Tang Dynasty and chokes the northern gateway of Qi. There is no one in the world who can help Qi than Zhao, and there is no one who can harm Qi than Zhao, so we must be cautious about the decision-making of Zhao, if my father did not fight with Zhao back then, he would not be defeated again and again, and even the capital was lost. “
If the Qin-Qi alliance cannot guarantee the security of Qi's four realms, then this alliance is of little significance, and the king of Qi does not want to face the threat of war from Zhao and Yan every year after his death.
What's more, Qin Zhao's diplomatic reputation is very poor, and no one can trust the King of Qi, so the balance in his heart is directly tilted between the two countries.
Seeing her husband dragging his sick body and thinking, the queen couldn't help but feel distressed, so she held his cold hand and said:
"Since the king can't make a choice, then he will first put Chang'an Jun under house arrest, let Dr. Mink deal with the Qin envoy, and continue to drag it down, waiting for the time to change......"
King Qi nodded: "It's okay to delay it a little longer, the blessings and misfortunes that the blessings and misfortunes rely on are lurking, maybe Teng Geng's death is not a bad thing." detained Chang'anjun and kept him from moving, forcing him to communicate with Zhao Guo by letter, and giving Qi Guo greater benefits in exchange for Qi Zhao's friendliness. On the other hand, it made the Qin envoy feel that my attitude was ambiguous, which made him uneasy, and forced him to propose a more favorable alliance for the Qi State...... Then it will be up to you to see who bids higher! ”
To put it mildly, Qi Guo is now like a female maiko, wearing makeup, pretending to be innocent and covering her sleeves, showing off coquettishness, to see if the two scholars who are competing for her are willing to pay more for this, of course, she has to be careful, lest the two fight and accidentally beat her.
The diplomacy of a weak country is like this, it is not much different from being a bitch, throughout the ages.
But Mrs. Jun faintly felt that things would not drag on so calmly, and there would always be something that would suddenly disrupt their plans......
As time passed, King Qi's strategy seemed to have worked, deliberately letting people reveal today's news to Wang Ji, the Qin envoy who lived in the pavilion, and Wang Ji immediately shouted to meet King Qi.
At this time, the king of Qi showed the patience of being a king for more than ten years, pretending to be unwell, and asked Mink Bo to entertain Wang Ji on his behalf......
Mink Bo has become a frequent visitor to the hall these days, he carried a wine jug gift, came to see Wang Ji with a smile, and apologized to him, who expected that before he had time to salute, Wang Ji grabbed him in a hurry, and the first sentence after taking a look was: "Dare to ask the doctor, when will King Qi kill Chang'an Jun!?" ”
……
Wang Ji left Xianyang at the end of April, arrived in Linzi in early June, and came to Qi for several days, but no one knew about his arrival. Because the prime minister said that diplomatic relations are like assassins in the dark, secretly contacting, and suddenly attacking, it is much better than a public audience with great fanfare. For example, now, Zhao Changanjun's every move is in his eyes, but the other party does not know about his existence for a long time.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected, he had submitted his credentials to express his intentions, but the king of Qi only met him quietly and promised to drive away Chang'anjun as soon as possible, and there was no follow-up after that.
Wang Ji patiently stayed at home for several days, waiting for the good news of King Qi, but when he learned of the farce in the palace, he was immediately angry.
"The doctor of Qi was scolded to death by a weak crown in his own court, but the king of Qi killed and did not kill, chased and not chased, I really feel strange for Qi country, Doctor Mink, is this the way of Qi country?"
Mink Bo is a veteran of diplomacy, playing haha, drinking with Wang Ji every day, and setting his mouth, but Wang Ji has not been a pedestrian for a day or two, the two can be described as chess opponents, testing each other for a few days, trying to find out each other's plans, but it has not been very effective.
Now that Wang Ji was in trouble, he smiled and said: "The doctor said that he was joking, the king has confined Chang'an Jun to the Proton Mansion in order to ask Zhao Guo for an explanation, and he has no other intentions. ”
He took a sip of wine and said pointedly: "Besides, Chang'anjun is the nephew of the king after all, why shout and kill, Qin Envoy is an outsider, it's better not to ask about this matter again!" ”
According to the instructions of the king of Qi, Ermine Bo was not in a hurry or slow, just a procrastination. Wang Ji wanted to complete the mission, so that he could go back to rely on the relationship of the prime minister to add an official to the knight, so in the end, it was Wang Ji who couldn't bear his temperament, on this day, he had a showdown with Ermine, saying that he had something to say, he must see the king of Qi in person, if the king of Qi refuses again, he will regard this as a manifestation of the insincerity of the country of Qi, and he will return to the country in advance.
"When the time comes, the Qin envoy should be able to make some more concessions!"
King Qi was overjoyed and immediately agreed to summon Wang Ji.
Wang Ji walked towards the King of Qi step by step, he knew that every time he took a step forward, he would make meritorious contributions to Qin with him, and get the position of the feudal official to go further!
Although Wang Ji does not have the talents of Zhang Yi, Su Qin, and Gongsun Yan, as long as he does what the prime minister tells him to do, this mission should be successful.
So Wang Ji went down ten steps to meet the king of Qi, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said what Fan Ju taught him......
At this moment, he is no longer Wang Ji who was evaluated by Qin Wangji as "his talent is not obvious, and his ability is mediocre", as if he has become a scheming Fan Ju.
"Recently, the foreign minister heard that the king is still hesitant and does not chase Chang'an Jun, and the foreign minister does not take it from the king, and he has some heartfelt words, and he should inform the king......"
King Qi's face did not change, and he gestured and said, "Qin envoy, please speak." ”
Wang Ji bowed again: "The land of Qin, north to Shangjun, north, south to Qianzhong, Nanjun, west of Bashu, east of Taoqiu Hanoi, accounting for half of the world's Tai, was risked with the river, four stops to be solid. There are more than 100,000 tigers, thousands of cars, 10,000 horses, accumulating millet like hills and mountains, and the enemy is four countries. The domestic laws and regulations are clear, the soldiers do not avoid danger, and are willing to die for the country, coupled with the virtuous and majestic monarch, Wu Anjun and other generals are wise and brave, although there is not a single soldier and a single armor, the momentum of the Qin State has swept the danger of Changshan, and it will break the spine of the world! Let's ask the six countries, who can be no? At this time, those who surrender first in the world will benefit, and those who submit later will perish first, and this situation is also dictated. ”
"Now there are still only Zhao states, vainly trying to compare with Qin states, sending proton envoys to communicate with the princes and accept exiled ......"
Wang Ji smiled contemptuously: "This kind of combination seems to be lively, hehe, but in the eyes of the foreign ministers, it is tantamount to driving a flock of sheep to attack the tiger, and the flock of sheep is of course invincible to the tiger." But now, the king did not attach himself to the tiger but to the sheep, and the ministers privately thought that the king's plan was very wrong! ”
