"Deliberately difficult? Chang Anjun, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hou Sheng had a smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze, but he refused to let go of half a point in his mouth.

When Mingyue asked him why the city gate officials did not let his private subordinates enter the city, Hou Sheng swore and said: "Chang'an Jun doesn't know, the "Law-abiding" of the Qi State clearly states that even if it is a minister and a general, there cannot be more than fifty armed private subordinates in the city. ”

Mingyue was stunned: "Is there still such a provision in Qi Fali?" ”

During the Warring States Period, not only the Qin State had laws, but the other six countries also had laws, first of all, the Three Jin Dynasty inherited the Jin State, and there was a long tradition of written law. Zhao also has a "national law", and the regulations are strict. The same is true of the Qi State, as early as the era of King Qi Wei, Mr. Jixia, who entered the spell from Huang Lao, was cautious and worked with the Guanzi School to make the thirteen laws of the Qi State based on "Obeying the Law and Obeying the Order", which were made public, because Shen was a Zhao person, and the Qi Law was also deeply influenced by the Zhao Law.

"Originally, there was no restriction on the number of private belongings of the emperor and foreign visitors in the city, until the seventh year of the first king, when the traitor Tian Jia robbed the king with his personal belongings, this article was added."

Hou Sheng seems to be reasonable, but Mingyue doesn't believe in evil, the law stipulates so, but the enforcement of the laws of Qi and the laws of Qin are simply worlds apart, this provision, I'm afraid it has long existed in name only, right?

He smiled and said, "Then what do I think of the private family members of the Anping Junfu next door, there are more than fifty people?" ”

Hou Sheng explained: "That's because Anping Jun has obtained the king's permission, how many Anping Jun can Qi have?" ”

Mingyue heard his prevarication, and sneered: "There are 50,000 households in Linzi City, 300,000 people, two men in each household, and it is easy to organize an army of 100,000, are you still afraid that I will not succeed in this hundred people?" ”

Hou Sheng pretended not to hear his cynicism, and said with a smile: "This law has indeed caused a lot of inconvenience to Chang'anjun, but since you are in Linzi, you must abide by the laws of Qi State, and I hope you will forgive me." In terms of security, Chang'an Jun doesn't have to worry, not to mention that Linzi is full of patrolling guards, and there are a hundred palace armor sent by the king outside the door to guard it. ”

Mingyue was very uneasy about the soldiers arranged by King Qi outside the Proton Mansion, but there was no way, how could they not bow their heads when they were under the eaves, so they had to swallow this breath first, and let Zhao Kuo continue to go outside the city to lead the soldiers, temporarily stationed in the camp in the south of the city, and then think of a way in the future.

Hou Sheng came to Proton Mansion today, not to explain this matter to Mingyue, but to invite him to the meeting.

"Yesterday the king was unwell, and the banquet to welcome the king of Pingyuan and the king of Chang'an was also delayed, and after the king was safe today, he reprimanded us for being rude, and ordered the prince to set up a banquet in the palace and invite the two princes to go. Pingyuanjun's side, I have already sent someone to pick him up, Chang'anjun, follow me into the palace. ”

"There are laborers, if there is anything wrong, I hope the doctor reminds me." Mingyue shook her hand and quietly stuffed a piece of jade ornament of good color into Hou Sheng's sleeve......

He remembered that after another thirty-four years in history, Hou Sheng would become the prime minister of Shangtian Jian, but under the bribe of the Qin State, he let the Qi State close himself to the country, and sat back and watched the destruction of the Five Kingdoms, thinking that he was a greedy man for money.

Anyway, this time he entered Qi, he carried a lot of gold treasures, and each of the Qi palace and the powerful general Xiangdafu's family gave some, and there were a lot left. It is a good choice to bribe this Hou Sheng, so that this guy does not make things difficult for himself openly and secretly.

Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment, then understood, and was also very sophisticated in pinching the jade, after scraping a few fingertips, he judged that this was a rare jade of Kunshan, and suddenly his face was happy, his attitude changed greatly, and he flattered Mingyue affectionately: "It's only been a day, the reputation of Chang'an Jun's difficult mink doctor has spread all over Linzi, and my Qi country's ministers and young children are looking forward to seeing the virtuous son!" But ......"

He stopped, frowned at Mingyue's outfit, and said: "Chang'anjun, although this purple dress looks very rich and decent, but tonight, it is more appropriate to change to a vermilion or black one, you know, the prince also plans to wear purple clothes to feast today......"

……

It's still the same route as yesterday when I left the Qi Palace, but I didn't enter the platform of the road, but turned into a palace room next to it, here is the prince's "Shaotai", it is said that King Qi Wei, King Xuan, King Min and Tian Fazhang also lived here when they were princes, which is equivalent to the East Palace of the prince in later generations.

At this time, the lights were on, and all the guests invited to cheer had already arrived at the table, sitting under the head of Pingyuan Jun, Mingyue's face was calm, but she was secretly relieved in her heart.

Just now, his first bribe to Hou Sheng had an immediate effect.

It turns out that the country of Qi has always had a tradition that purple is more expensive than Zhu, but tonight it seems to be tacitly understood, and the doctors of Qi who like purple clothes are wearing vermilion and dark clothes. Only the prince Tian Jian is wearing a purple robe, wide clothes and sleeves, and colorful line embroidery, which is extremely gorgeous, sitting high on the chairman, and is especially eye-catching in a pile of red.

In the past, Tian Jian stood out from the crowd, but today if he Chang'an Jun also wore the purple clothes sewn by the Empress Dowager Zhao, it would be a clash with Tian Jian, which would be a bit noisy.

If Hou Sheng didn't remind him, he was afraid that something would happen tonight. Mingyue looked at Hou Sheng and thanked him, and Hou Sheng also smiled, he seemed to be in a good mood, talking to a broad-shouldered and round-waisted Qi general next to him.

In Mingyue's mind, if he bribed again and won again, then the hundred Zhao soldiers who had not been allowed to enter the city should be able to pass smoothly. What laws, what rules, the Qi State, which was too deeply impregnated by the wind of merchants, is different from the Qin State, and there is nothing that cannot be accommodated.

"In history, Wei Yu persuaded Qin Shi Huang not to love property, bribe the nobles of the six countries, and plot to make trouble, saying that if he did not die 300,000 gold, the princes could be wiped out! Sure enough, there is some truth, as long as you are willing to spend the capital, maybe this victory can also be used by me! ”

But then he began to worry again: "But my current net worth, at most, is a thousand gold, how can I compare with Qin Shi Huang, who inherited the family business of the sixth generation, ......"

Mingyue couldn't help but sigh, in the past two days since he came to Qi State, he has seen what it means to spend money like flowing water, and he has to feed the more than 200 people under him, and he has to give gifts and bribes.

On the other side, even though Mingyue didn't offend Tian Jian, Tian Jian still didn't give him a good look, and his words were cold.

Mingyue is not afraid, today's banquet is to entertain his arrival, no matter how confused the prince is, it is impossible for him to be mad in public, right?

While thinking about it, the feast had officially begun.

King Qi was not in good health, and things like receiving guests fell on the shoulders of Prince Jian, and after many times, he was already very skilled.

But seeing him clapping his hands, the musician began to beat the chime, blowing the pipes in groups, the temple moved the heavy food tripod to the hall, after the lid was uncovered, it was steaming, dozens of tall Qi women held the food box fish through the hall, poured food and wine for everyone, and there were dancers who sang and danced lightly in the sound of playing the piano and blowing the sheng.

For a while, the hall applauded, staggered, Pingyuan Jun liked this kind of occasion the most, shaking his head and listening to the music, his eyes looked at the uneven place of Qi Nu, he was content, and from time to time he drank with the secretary of State Qi who he knew. Although he is a drunken man, he ate and enjoyed drinking in Nulu until midnight yesterday, his body was empty, and he got drunk after a while, lying in the arms of two Qi dancers, muttering, where can he take care of his nephew.

Mingyue's side is a little dull, he doesn't want to drink tasteless light wine, because there are only a few ways to cook in this era, after eating it over and over again for two months, he is also disgusted by the meat on the table, but from time to time he eats some vegetarian dishes.

Seeing this, Prince Jian, who had been observing his behavior, suddenly asked, "Chang'anjun, why don't you drink a cup?" Could it be that I dislike that the wine soup of my Qi country is not delicious!? ”

Mingyue still overestimated the IQ of this fallen monarch, Tian Jian's tone was not good, he actually grasped this little thing, and was going to be mad in the court?
