"Transfigured?"

King Qi's brows furrowed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pingyuan Jun said: "Yes, in exchange, Zhao Chen enters Linzi as Qi Xiang, and Qi Chen enters Handan as Zhao Xiang, so that the two countries can communicate with each other, as if they are one, and there is no suspicion!" ”

King Qi was silent, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

This phenomenon of sending one's own ministers to other countries to serve as ministers appeared several decades ago in the era when the alliance was at its most intense, and it is a means of diplomatic liaison and diplomatic struggle. The earliest was Qin Xiang Zhang Yi Xiang Wei, and Qin sent Zhang Yi to be Wei Xiang, naturally to let Wei and Qin Lianheng, and Wei accepted this candidate, but also to let the Qin army stop attacking and let them take a breath.

Since then, the situation of transmutation or placement of prime ministers in other countries has become common, and Zhao, as a "country of four countries", is among the eastern and western neighbors, and in order to improve its diplomatic situation, it is very keen on interchange diplomacy. As early as the time of King Wuling of Zhao, he sent Le Chi to be the prime minister of Zhongshan. Zhongshan has always been friendly with Qi in terms of diplomacy, and King Wuling of Zhao took advantage of the opportunity of the "King of the Five Kingdoms" to divide the relationship between Zhongshan and Qi, and sent Le Chi into Zhongshan as the prime minister, and finally Zhongshan became the king with the support of Zhao and Wei, offended Qi, and Zhao took the opportunity to destroy the isolated Zhongshan.

The change of nations in the next period of time is really dazzling. First of all, in order to unite with the two powers of Qi and annex other princes, Qin invited Meng Weijun to Qin as Qin's prime minister, and Qi also appointed Qin's general Lü Li as his minister.

Zhao Guoke, who was caught in the middle, was scared, as the so-called "Qi and Wei are strong, but without Qin, they can't hurt Zhao." "Although Qin and Wei are strong, they can't get Zhao without Qi." Qin and Qi could never be united, so Zhao began to get close to Qin and sent Zhao Renlou to slow down into Qin and separate Qi and Qin.

Qin Wangji also changed his mind at this time, changed the alliance Qi to Lianzhao, so he dismissed Meng Weijun, in order to win the trust of Zhao, but also to Lou Xuan as the Qin Xiang, Lou Xuan stayed in the Qin phase for two years, during this period Qin Zhao was as close as a family, Meng Weijun was so angry that he returned to Qi and led a big drama of Qi, Wei and Han and the Three Kingdoms to attack Qin and enter Hangu Pass.

Later, when the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, as one of the masterminds, Zhao Guo was bent on weakening Qi State, so he awarded Yan General Le Yi with the seal of Xiangguo, expressing his willingness to let Le Yi unify his command and break Qi in one fell swoop. When the Qi State collapsed and the Yan State was too strong, the Zhao State turned around and rebuilt the old friendship with Qin.

During the reign of King Wuling and King Huiwen, Zhao changed phases with other countries five times, and was extremely enthusiastic about this kind of diplomacy, and it is not surprising that Pingyuan Jun used this as a condition for an alliance with Qi. King Qi was a little moved when he heard this, if he could really do this, he was not afraid that Zhao Guoming would face the alliance and secretly plot to kill Qi Guo.

King Qi pondered, and there were a few candidates sent to Zhao State to be Zhao Xiang, but he didn't say it, but tested Pingyuan Jun and said: "This is very good, the widow has seen the sincerity of Zhao State, I don't know who Zhao State will be Qi Xiang?" Could it be that Zhao Xianglin is similar today? ”

"The widow and the queen mother have not yet had a clear candidate." Pingyuan Jun avoided the table and bowed, and his eyes eagerly recommended himself: "What does the king think, let me be Qi Xiang?" ”

……

"What, let me be Qi Xiang?"

Time back to yesterday, when discussing the possibility of the two countries changing phases, Pingyuanjun was also surprised by Mingyue's proposal to use him as the candidate for the prime minister!

I thought my nephew was joking, but Mingyue was extremely serious.

"What does Uncle think, how is Lin Xiangbang's health?"

Ping Yuanjun knew his old opponent very well, and sighed: "A year is not as good as a year, after the death of the first king, Lin Xiang was deeply shocked, and I saw that he lost a lot of weight." ”

"However, Lin Xiangbang is already a little difficult to handle official business in Handan, and he has traveled thousands of miles to Qi State, doesn't he want half his life? What's more, five years ago, Lin Xiangbang once commanded the army to attack Qi to Pingyi, and the king of Qi would not like him. The only person who can get the trust of King Qi is his uncle, who is this candidate for Qi Xiang, who is his uncle? ”

Pingyuan-kun's head shook like a rattle: "This transmutation looks like a scenery on the surface, but in fact, it is just a hostage exchanged between the two countries. At that time, he was called Qi Xiang, but the real power was still in the hands of King Qi and Secretary of Qi, just a puppet with a seal. ”

He looked at Mingyue suspiciously: "You son, don't you want your uncle to be a hostage for you, why don't you return to China quickly?" ”

"Uncle's words are wrong......"

Mingyue did have this intention in her heart, but she made an innocent expression: "Zhao people enter Qi as the prime minister, and Qi people also enter Zhao as the prime minister, so Lin Xiangbang has to step down." After a year and a half, the Qi people returned to Qi, and the Zhao people returned to Zhao, at that time, the position of Zhao State was vacant again, will the Queen Mother and the King let Lin Xiangru be the Xiangbang again? ”

He shook his head and said: "My father used Lian, Lin and other cloth clothes as generals, and there were many opponents, but now that my father has passed away, no one can support him, and when the time comes, the candidates for the prime minister will have to be selected from the old ministers of the clan." Uncle has the qualifications to be Qi Xiang, has made great contributions to uniting Qi and Zhao, and can speak on the side of Qi State, when the position of Zhao Xiang is concerned, who else can be more suitable than uncle? ”

Mingyue analyzed it like this, and Pingyuanjun's heart suddenly moved.

That's right! Although this Qi Xiang has no real power, it is the ladder for him to re-ascend to the Zhao State phase!

Thinking like this, Pingyuan Jun immediately became enthusiastic about this matter, so he memorized the words made for him by Mingyue and the Menke strategists, and shined when King Qi met him today.

In the evening, after Pingyuanjun returned drunk, Mingyue went up to ask if things were going well, Pingyuanjun touched his tendrils, and said proudly: "It's done, I have persuaded the king of Qi to make a decision to unite Qi and Zhao to fight Yan and change faces during the war......"

"When will the two countries form an alliance, and when will the Qi country send troops?"

"An alliance at the end of July, and troops in August."

A big stone fell to the ground in Mingyue's heart, and he came to Qi for four months, planning painstakingly, trembling, and finally saw this day, so that he could successfully complete his mission, and instead of being driven back in disgrace, he could return to Handan with glory.

When there was no one around, Pingyuan Jun pulled Mingyue and whispered with a mouthful of wine: "King Qi also readily agrees to my self-recommendation, and when the two countries send envoys to communicate with each other, they will name me to be Qi Xiang!" ”

Mingyue complimented: "Congratulations uncle!" The resume of successively serving as the two phases is not something that every son has! ”

Pingyuan Jun laughed: "Otherwise, Meng Weijun has successively held the seals of Qi, Qin, and Wei, and I can't compare to him." ”

Mingyue asked again: "Did the King of Qi mention the candidate that the Qi State wants to send to the Zhao State as the prime minister?" ”

Pingyuanjun was stunned: "This has never been." ”

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's nothing more than the current Qi Xiang Wang Sun Jia, or An Pingjun, except for these two, there is no suitable candidate......"

Mingyue bowed her head, looked at the neighbors separated by a short wall, and remembered that after the night of assassination, she hadn't seen Tian Jia for half a month, and couldn't help sighing: "I hope it's An Pingjun!" ”

But no matter who the King of Qi chooses, as long as the plan of the Qi and Zhao Alliance is settled, and there is Pingyuan Jun to stay in Linzi, this means that Mingyue's days in the Qi Kingdom are almost over......

He couldn't help but think of the letter his mother gave him from Handan, but Empress Dowager Zhao didn't say much, just wrote a poem on the silk book.

"Decline, decline, no return?"

Somewhat reluctantly glanced at the moon missing a bite in the night sky of Linzi, Mingyue said softly: "Yes, it's dark, I should go back to 'home'......"
