"How do you want to get rid of this?" Tian Ying asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"My Qi State only intimidated the Song State a little, and the Song State gave up a hundred miles of land in the East China Sea, from this point of view, the monarchs and ministers of the Song State are extremely weak! Although the countries have reached a general agreement on this war, after all, no formal contract has been signed. This war initially broke out between the Song State and the Qi State, and after the contract was signed, in order not to make the Song State regret it, we could have asked the Song State to send protons to our Qi State. As long as Gongzi asks Ziyan to enter the Qi by name, does Song Guo dare not agree? Once this son arrives in my Qi country, it is not up to the son to decide whether to kill or chop! Qi Xiangbi said gloomily.

"Will this have some impact on the reputation of my Qi country?" Tian Ying was still a little hesitant.

"Haha, Childe, have you forgotten how my Tian clan replaced the Jiang clan to control the Qi Kingdom? Those who achieve great things are not informal! Now that our Qi country wants to dominate the world, the Song country is the biggest obstacle for our country. And Ziyan is the hardest nail in the obstacle of the Song Kingdom! In order to get rid of him, what is the reputation of mere gain? As long as my Qi country is strong enough, who in the world dares to say that my Qi country is not? Qi Maungbi replied.

Tian Ying didn't care at all about Qi Maung's defense revealing the dark side of the Tian family. For the Tian family, who is accustomed to conspiracy, it is normal for the prince to be the prince and the loser.

In Tian Ying's opinion, Qi Maungbi is the most loyal dog in his hands, and he will never betray his loyal dog! A loyal dog only needs to make the most reasonable suggestions to the owner, and as for the process of making suggestions, Tian Ying will not care at all.

He quickly accepted this suggestion, and then he said to Qi Maung: "You go to Suiyang in person, and you must get Song Guo to agree to hold Ziyan hostage to my Qi State!" ”

After the Qi State and the Song State finally reached a consensus, the next thing became much simpler. Soon, the four kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Zhao, and Song signed a far-reaching Treaty of Taoqiu at Taoqiu.

The Treaty of Taoqiu stipulates that Taoqiu will be completely neutral in the future, and the Song State is only allowed to retain 1,000 troops to maintain law and order in Taoqiu City; The activities of merchants and envoys from various countries in Taoqiu shall not be interfered with by the Song State as long as they do not violate the criminal laws of the Song State; Within twenty miles of Taoqiu, it is forbidden for any country to station a large army; When the armies of various countries passed through the Taoqiu, they were only allowed to stay in the Taoqiu for one day, and they had to leave immediately after the time.

At the same time, at the strong request of the Qi state, the Qi state and the Song state also reached a peace agreement. In order to ensure the peace and friendship of the Qi State of the Song State, the Song State paid tribute to the Qi State; The Song State ceded 100 li of the East China Sea to the Qi State; The State of Song sent a prince hostage to the State of Qi.

This kind of unequal treaty was agreed to by Zixi in Suiyang, and Dai Yan intercepted half of the land to be ceded by the Song State in Taoqiu! However, when the envoy sent by Suiyang asked Dai Yan to sign such a treaty, Dai Yan tried his best to shirk it, and refused to sign such a treaty!

Dai Yan had a very clear understanding of the history of later generations, and knew that signing such a treaty would definitely cause his political prestige to plummet!

You don't see, the later Li Zhongtang signed a treaty of Shimonoseki, and as a result, his reputation was lost!

Treaties like this are concluded under the disparity of national strength, and someone must always do it, and someone will always take the blame. Dai Yan, as a young son of the Song Kingdom, has a bright future! He knew very well that once such a treaty was signed, he would immediately offend the minor nobles of the Song Kingdom who had been divided into the land of the East China Sea!

He resolutely refused to carry this pot!

This kind of behavior made the high-level officials of the Song Kingdom extremely dissatisfied with his behavior, and this also gave Qi Maungbi the opportunity to make waves in Suiyang!

Qi Maungbi came to Suiyang and did not act quickly. He first inquired about Ziyan's reputation in the aristocratic circle of Suiyang, and found that within the Dai family, whether it was the Le family or the Huang family, everyone had a bad impression of Ziyan, and they were extremely dissatisfied with his position as a great pedestrian at a young age.

Most of these people also opposed the foreign policies proposed by Ziyan.

And in the mouths of the small and medium-sized nobles in Suiyang, as well as the commoners at the bottom, Qi Maungbi heard another voice. These people all believe that Ziyan is a virtuous son of the Song State since Muyi, and that having Ziyan in the Song State should be able to maintain the strength of the Song State in the past years, and avoid the Song State facing the situation of Zheng Guo's ruin.

With such accurate information, Qi Maungbi knew how to deal with Ziyan.

He went directly to visit Xiangguo Lecheng.

As soon as he saw Le Cheng, Qi Maungbi went straight to the point and handed Le Cheng a handwritten letter written by Tian Ying. After letting Le Cheng confirm his identity as the chief disciple of Jingguo Jun, Qi Maungbi said directly to the point: "Your country and my country have now reached a peace agreement, but your country's great people refuse to sign it, which is not conducive to the future peace between your and our countries. Why don't you persuade your monarch to remove Ziyan from the throne of the Great Walker? ”

Le Cheng smiled bitterly at Qi Maung and said, "Sir, you should know that Ziyan is the only younger brother of the monarch and is deeply trusted by the monarch. Although I am the prime minister of the Song Kingdom, how can I change the opinion of the monarch? ”

Qi Maung said: "Now Ziyan, as a great pedestrian of the Song State and the younger brother of the monarch, refuses to sign the Qi and Song Peace Treaty, which means that he is unwilling to take responsibility for the Song State." As a courtier, but he refuses to worry about the king, how can he be a qualified courtier? I thought that as long as Xiangguo insisted on it, then the monarch of your country would definitely remove Ziyan from the position of Daxingren! ”

When Le Cheng heard Qi Maungbi say this, he didn't feel happy, but instead felt a little vigilant. In his opinion, Qi State is the enemy country of Song State after all, what is Qi State's intention to go to such great lengths to lobby him to remove Ziyan?

He then said perfunctorily: "Sir also thinks too highly of my ability." There is a way that I can't be close to each other, I'm just an outsider of the Le family, how can I influence the appointment of the royal family? ”

Seeing Le Cheng behaving like this, Qi Xiangbi laughed. He said to Le Cheng: "Xiangguo don't hide it anymore. You want Ziyan to go down from the position of a big pedestrian, even if the old and weak women and children in Suiyang are well known. Now I'm here to help you out of this big problem! Dare to teach Xiangguo to know that my son-in-law sent me here just to persuade Xiangguo to hostage my Qi country! ”

Regarding the matter of Song sending protons to Qi State, when Qi State brought it up, Song State was extremely reluctant at first. Because now the monarch is only in his thirties, and the youngest son of the monarch is only seven years old now.

However, the proton was a condition put forward by Qi Guo himself, and Song Guo did not dare to openly disobey Qi Guo's orders.

Let such a young child be far away from the mother country and go to another country as a hostage, the king must be reluctant. Therefore, Le Cheng has been embarrassed about this matter, and he doesn't know how to open up about this matter, and now if Qi Guo can accept Ziyan as a proton, it will be even better!

Proton, literally understood, is the hostage of the state to maintain relations between states! And those who can be used as hostages are generally the king's own sons! Because only such an intimate relationship can make those monarchs who have broken their promises feel pain! So that they do not dare to do anything that breaks their promises lightly!

As the younger brother of the monarch, Ziyan can also be called a son, but under normal circumstances, he is still not qualified as a proton. However, now that the State of Qi is naming Ziyan as a hostage, this is of course a good thing for the monarch who is in a dilemma!

However, although Le Cheng is relatively weak politically, he has been in a high position for many years, and he still smells a trace of unusual breath from Qi Guo's behavior of asking for Ziyan. For Ziyan, a rare virtuous son in the Song Kingdom, he still admired it at first. He actually thinks the same as ordinary Song people, and also regards Ziyan as another virtuous son of the Song State since Muyi.

However, Ziyan is the virtuous son of the Huang clan after all. With him in the Song Dynasty, it will inevitably be unfavorable to Le's. The loss of such a talent as Ziyan is certainly a loss for the Song Kingdom, but for Le's, it is a good thing!

Putting the interests of the family above the interests of the country is not the slightest difficulty for Lecheng. He only thought about it slightly, and he agreed to Qi Maung's opinion that he would confront Qi Yan.

Soon, Le Chengcheng went to lobby the chief priest Kou Huarong. Hua Rong has long been dissatisfied with Ziyan's approach to overseeing the diplomacy of the Song State, and he has always believed that the Song State should "keep its head in obscurity" before it has the strength, and should not force its way out. Regarding Qi Guo's suggestion of asking for Ziyan as a hostage, he also smelled the unusual smell in it. However, he ignored it unconcernedly.

For Hua Rong, there is always only one person he is loyal to - the prince of the country. Not to mention that Ziyan and his political views are inconsistent, even if Ziyan and him are political allies, it can't stop him from planning for the king. It is beneficial for the monarch to let Ziyan go to replace the king's son to go to the kingdom of Qi. That's all he knows!

After Le Cheng and Hua Rong reached an agreement, Zi Yanqi's affairs became extremely smooth.

Regarding Ziyan's refusal to sign the agreement reached between Song and Qi, Song Junzixi was very dissatisfied in his heart. In his opinion, Ziyan, as his own brother, should help him share the pressure. Didn't he Zixi know that after signing this treaty, Ziyan would be scolded by the small nobles of the Song Kingdom?

Ziyan helped his brother carry the pot this time, can he, the elder brother, not take it to heart?

And Zixi is also extremely unbearable for his son to leave Song and Qi in person! He now only has two sons, the oldest is only seven years old, and the youngest is less than two years old, how can such a young child endure the pain of being a proton?

Because the suggestion to use Ziyan as the proton of the Song State was proposed by Le Cheng and Hua Rong, Zixi did not feel such a heavy pressure from the Qi State asking for Ziyan here, so he did not smell the conspiracy of the Qi State after this matter at all.

All he could think of was to let his younger brother share some more pressure on his brother, and let Ziyan suffer for his young nephew.

After the monarch also agreed to Ziyan Qi, Le Cheng personally went to Taoqiu and signed an unequal treaty between Song and Qi.

And Zi Yan also stepped down from the position of the great pedestrian of the Song State and began to become the proton of the Song State in the Qi State.
