Is a country's diplomacy important? In later generations, the country's diplomacy not only had a special Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also many times the country's diplomacy was personally handled by the head of state. The foreign policy of a country can be said to be one www.biquge.info of the most important national policies of a country.

The same is true in the Warring States Period, the country's foreign policy must be cautious and cautious, so Hua Rong's policy of opposing Dai Yan can be understood: non-alignment, after all, the Three Kingdoms of Korea are the foreign policy pursued by the Song State for many years, and no matter how unbearable it is, at least it retains the independence of the Song State. Dai Yan's policy may seem good, but what are the consequences? No one knows.

"Si Kou misunderstood what I meant." Dai Yan was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Although the kid thinks that in the long run, my Song State should be on the side of the Qi State, but how did the kid say that my Song State wants to form an alliance with the Qi State?" The kid also said that King Wei Qixiang, I, the Song State, should help the Chu State, but the kid never said anything about forming an alliance with the Chu State, right? Non-alignment has been the national policy of our Song State for many years, and for many years, our Song State has maintained neutrality among other countries and is detached from things; In addition, the soldiers of our Song Kingdom dared to fight, so that the countries did not dare to wantonly invade our country, which is also a good strategy. However, the Three Kingdoms, my Song State humbled and served the Three Kingdoms, and the Three Kingdoms took it for granted, and this is the shame of our country! The three kingdoms of the DPRK serve other countries with the wealth of our Song fathers and elders, and this policy of weakening us and strengthening the enemy is also, and our country should find a way to abolish this policy. ”

At this moment, the guards came in and reported: Wei Guoguo Xiang Hui Shi asked to see.

For a while, both the monarchs and ministers in the court were greatly surprised, why did Wei Xianghuishi visit the Song Kingdom without prior notice? Hui Shi is a Song person, where would he not know that the Song people are a tendon. When the envoys of Chu visited Qi and did not report to the Song State, they were killed by the Song people. It is impossible for Hui Shi Xuefu Wuche not to know such a thing, how can he dare to do such a bold thing?

Hui Shi didn't come in alone, he was accompanied by a young man in his twenties. When Hui Shi entered the hall to salute Song Jun, the young man also came in and saluted, "Foreign Minister Qi Guotian Ying has seen Song Hou. The young man revealed his identity, much to the surprise of the courtiers. We are discussing here to deal with the matter of dealing with the Prime Minister, and the two countries of Wei and Qi have secretly sent important ministers to our Song Kingdom, which is not good.

Zixi examined the orders submitted by Hui Shi and Tian Ying and confirmed their identities. He said unhappily: "Hui Xiang and Tian Gongzi are both important ministers of the two kingdoms of Wei and Qi, but when they came to my Song Kingdom, they hid their heads and showed their tails like this, and they didn't report it, which really devastated the status of the two great powers." ”

Hui Shi opened his mouth and said: "Song Hou's words are wrong. Tian Gongzi and I both showed the carriage and horses, and came to your country in court clothes, when did we hide our heads and when did we show our tails? Besides, we also reported to the border guards before entering your country, and Song Houzhi's accusations were too much. ”

Zixi then remembered that this Hui Shi was a famous debater in the entire Song Kingdom and even the world, and if he quarreled with him over such a trivial matter, he would be the one who would suffer after all. So he put aside this paragraph for the time being, and asked again: "Then I don't know why Hui Xiang and Tian Gongzi came to my Song Kingdom?" ”

Hui Shi Zhengse said: "The two of us are here to invite the Marquis of Song to participate in the meeting between our king and the king of Qi, and to meet my king and the king of Qi with courtesy. ”

To meet the King of Wei and the King of Qi with courtesy? This is a great insult to the widow! Zixi was shouting in his heart. Even if the Song State was weak and lowered the monarch's title, Zixi had never felt so insulted. Because the overlord is more of a recognition of his powerful status, everyone is still the same in terms of identity, everyone is a prince, and they are both courtiers of King Zhou. Now Wei Qi and the two countries want him to be a vassal to the two countries? This is absolutely unbearable for Zixi. However, due to the strong strength of Wei Qi and the two countries, he did not dare to refuse directly, and the court became quiet and abnormal for a while.

"Hahaha, isn't Hui Xiang joking?" At this embarrassing time, Dai Yan spoke, "The King of Wei usurped the throne, and my Song State never admitted it, your monarch is just Wei Hou, how can you dare to call the King of Wei?" As for the king of Qi, please forgive the kid for being lonely and unheard, the kid has only heard of Qi Hou, and has never heard of the king of Qi. Lijiyun: There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country. I, the Song Kingdom, have only heard that there is only one King of Zhou in the whole world, and all of them are vassals. Dare to ask Hui Xiang, when did there be so many kings in this world? ”

Hui Shi turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a young man who had not yet reached the crown, his body was tall, his face was bright, and his speech was sharp, so that he did not dare to underestimate it at all. Hui Shi asked, "Dare to ask who the son is?" He knew very well that he could occupy a place in the court of the Song Kingdom at such a young age, and he must be a person of honorable status.

"He's the widow's brother, Gongziyan." Zixi saw that Dai Yan was refuting Hui Shi and protecting his reputation, and he also revealed Dai Yan's identity at this time, which was actually a kind of support for Dai Yan.

Seeing that Song Jun had identified himself and did not reprimand Dai Yan, Hui Shi instantly understood what Song Jun meant: what Ziyan said meant on behalf of the widow. He had to say to Dai Yan: "What Gongzi said makes sense. However, I want to tell Gongzi that although my king and the king of Qi are not kings yet, after the king of Xiang next year, the names of my king and the king of Qi will be spread all over the world, and everyone in the world will know the king of Wei and the king of Qi, and Wei Hou and Qi Hou will become history from now on. I wonder if Childe is satisfied with this answer? ”

Dai Yan replied: "Hui Xiang's words are known. However, Wei Jun and Qi Jun are both princes, how can they become the Son of Heaven? The kid once heard that Shang Tang Dai Xia, and Zhou Wu Dai Shang Ke all took the mandate of heaven to become the Son of Heaven, and the kid never heard that he could recognize each other as the Son of Heaven. ”

Hui Shi was speechless for a moment. At this time, Tian Ying spoke: "Why should the son make a verbal argument here? In the next and Hui Xiang came to the Song Kingdom, I hope that Song Hou can participate in the meeting of the Prime Minister, which is the common wish of my Qi State and Wei State, and I hope that Song Hou will be able to work hard and participate on time. This meeting, Han Hou has decided to participate, Wei Hou, Lu Hou, Teng Hou, Zou Zi and other monarchs have indicated that they will be present in person, if Song Jun alone does not come, I am afraid that the King of Wei and my king will not be happy. At the end of his sentence, his tone became unusually gloomy.

Before Zixi became angry, Hui Shi said at this time: "If the Song Hou is willing to go to the meeting of the Prime Minister, then the Prime Minister can represent the Wei State and the Qi State and reduce the annual tribute amount collected by the Song State by three percent." ”

Tian Ying also said: "Hui Xiang's meaning, I think King Qi will also agree." ”

Hearing that Wei Qi and the two countries were willing to reduce the tribute of the Song State, all the ministers in the palace were a little moved for a while, and even the Guoxiangle CD looked a little like they were convinced.

At this moment, Hua Rong stood up and said: "The meaning of Wei and Qi is already known to my Song Kingdom; However, after all, the stakes are very high, and our country will not be able to give a definite answer to this matter for a while. Why don't Hui Xiang and Tian Gongzi rest for a while in my Song Kingdom, enjoy the cultural scenery of my Suiyang, and wait for my Song Kingdom to make a decision, and I will definitely reply to the two countries as soon as possible. ”

Hui Shi and Tian Ying discussed the following in a whisper, and then Hui Shi said: "I have important things to do with Tian Gongzi, and I can't stay in the Song Kingdom for a long time. In three days, the two of us will return to China and resume our lives, and I hope that your country will reply before then. ”

Soon the meeting dispersed, and Zixi left Le Cheng, Xiang She, Hua Rong and Dai Yan to discuss together.

"Let me all share your opinions." Zixi said to the four of them.

Le Cheng first said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that Wei and Qi are willing to reduce our country's tribute by 30%, this move is very sincere, and the monarch accepts the kindness of the monarchs of Wei and Qi. ”

"Uncle, that's wrong." But Dai Yan spoke, Le Cheng is the same generation as Ziyan's father, and Dai Yan should indeed call Le Cheng uncle. "Uncle thinks that the two kingdoms of Wei Qi are friendly to our country? In the eyes of the kid, the two kingdoms of Wei and Qi are both tigers and wolves, and they all covet the rich territory of our Song Kingdom. Now that the two countries are kings and divide the sphere of influence, if my Song State is submissive and submits to the monarchs of the two countries, then my Song State will become a vassal of Wei and Qi, and the final fate will be no different from today's Wei and Lu States. Once I fall into that situation, there is only one way to die for my Song Kingdom. The kid thought that the meeting between the kings of Wei and Qi should be participated in by our Song State, but our country only sent important ministers to congratulate him, and did not recognize the monarchs of the two countries as kings. In this way, in the future, our country will have enough room for maneuver in the future, and we can reap enough benefits in the future Qichu War. ”

"What do you mean by this enough benefit?" Zixi asked.

"Abolish all the tributes of the three kingdoms of our Song dynasty, and in the future, our country will only offer ceremonies to the three kingdoms, not tributes." Dai Yan replied.

"So what should be done?" This is Hua Rong's question.

"The meeting of the prime minister will inevitably lead to the battle of Qi and Chu, and once the war starts, my Song State will become the rear of the Chu State. At this time, I, the Song State, remained neutral on the surface, but secretly supplied grain and grass to the Chu army, then the Chu State would inevitably be grateful to our country, and our country could take advantage of the situation to cancel the tribute to the Chu State; King Wei Qi, then Wei Qi will inevitably be attacked by other countries in the future, so no matter how the war develops, the strength of Wei Qi and Wei Qi will inevitably weaken, and our country can take advantage of the situation to negotiate with the two countries at this time and cancel the tribute. In this way, even if our country still meets the Three Kingdoms in the future, then the burden on our monarchs and ministers will be greatly reduced, which will definitely be of great benefit to our Song Kingdom. Dai Yan replied.

"What does Hua Qing think?" Zixi asked Hua Rong.

Looking at Zixi's expression, Hua Rong knew that Zixi had been moved by Ziyan's words. So he replied, "The minister still thinks that the only thing that the nations rely on when they fight each other is strength. However, the minister's strategy can't find anything wrong, and the minister thinks that this strategy may be a try. ”

Later, Xiang She also agreed: "The minister also thinks that the child's strategy can be tried." ”

Seeing that the two important ministers agreed, but Le Cheng was a little embarrassed, he had no choice but to echo and said, "What Ziyan said also makes sense, his strategy can be tried." ”

Seeing that several important ministers had reached an agreement, Zixi stood up and said: "Since you all think that this policy is feasible, then Ziyan is fully responsible for the affairs of King Wei Qixiang, Ziyan, from now on, if you have any requirements, you can directly report them to the widow, and the widow will approve it for you." We and other monarchs and ministers should also work together to fully support Ziyan and wash away the shame of the Three Kingdoms of our Song Dynasty! ”
