The dinner party to welcome the envoys of the Three Kingdoms was set up in the main hall of the Sifang Palace, and finally the princes sent envoys to worship, and the royal family naturally took it as a top priority, so when it was not dark, Zhou Bian in the palace heard the sound of singing and dancing outside, but he stayed until late at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info I don't know how much money the royal family spent on it, but now for the sake of face, Zhou Bian knows that he proposed to be simpler, not to mention the queen mother, but I am afraid that even the princess will not agree, so he has to go.

I heard that when the night banquet was over, it was the end of the war, converted to modern time, that is, nearly nine o'clock, Zhou Bian was busy with the business at hand, but couldn't help but set his eyes on the door of the main hall, sure enough, after a while, there were guards in to report, the night banquet went smoothly, although in Zhou Bian's opinion, several messengers must have their own ghosts in their hearts, but on the surface they still looked polite, so that the whole dinner ended in a peaceful, warm and friendly atmosphere.

Sure enough, it is expected that Wei Gongzi Ang is eager to eat the prince of Qin, and he will not openly attack him, as a big man, he still has self-cultivation. After listening to this report that was not nutritious but had to be listened to, Zhou Bian waved his hand and ordered the attendant to retreat, and then looked at the time before going to bed, so he practiced his sword on the main hall according to his habit.

Unexpectedly, when he was dancing, he was interrupted by the young master who hurriedly entered, and he didn't know what was important, Zhou Bian had to stop the sword dance in his hand and let him come.

"The king, the prince of the Qin Kingdom suddenly found the old man and said that if the king had already slept, if he hadn't fallen asleep, he would like to meet the king. The old man couldn't bear to be entangled, so he promised to take a look for him first, whether the king saw it or not? ”

Qin Xiaogong of later generations, a legendary character, how can he not see it? As soon as he heard what the young master said, Zhou Bian immediately became interested, "It just so happens that this king hasn't slept yet, and there is still some time to do so, so let him come." ”

The king nodded, and the young master naturally agreed, "The old man will invite him here, but the old man will also tell him, don't say it too late, so as not to disturb the king's rest." ”

After the young master left, Zhou Bian immediately threw down the sword in his hand, and sat down in the middle of the hall, this is a big man, the first real big man seen during the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, although it is not famous now, but when it is famous all over the world, the six countries of Shandong began to be frightened, although Shang Yang is the key figure in the rise of the Qin State, but it is always inseparable from the support of filial piety, so Zhou Bian is also extremely curious, what kind of character is this? After sitting for a while, Zhou Bian suddenly felt that he was not too formal, as if he was very serious. So Zhou Bian thought about it, looked around again, and finally decided to sit down after the desk where he was used to reading and reading, and picked up a book and read it. Unexpectedly, it was Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, this is a book that has been taught by the old master for a long time, Zhou Bian still reads it from time to time, this is one of the few history books today, and Zhou Bian also hopes to gain some experience from it.

Just as he was putting the book on the table, he had just read a passage when he heard footsteps outside the hall, and the attendant came to report, "The king, the prince of Qin Guoqu Liang has arrived." ”

"Biography." Zhou Bian didn't raise his head, his eyes were still on the book.

"No." The attendant bowed and withdrew.

A moment later, footsteps sounded again in the main hall, and then the sound of kneeling on the wooden floor was heard, and the voice of a young man in his teenage years rang out, "Foreign minister Yingquliang greets my king, may my king live long!" ”

Only then did Zhou Bian raise his eyes and see a man about seventeen or eighteen years old kneeling in front of him, his face was dark, his silhouette was distinct, and he was dressed in a black robe.

"Hehe, it's Gongzi Qin, please get up quickly. It's so late, what's the matter with looking for this king? Zhou Bian pretended to be old and said.

"Yingquliang came thousands of miles away, just to meet my king, and now my king is near, if you don't meet immediately, I'm afraid that I won't dare to sleep at night. Originally, I was very worried when I came, for fear of disturbing the king's rest, but fortunately the king was still reading at night, so that the ministers could admire it. It's just that I don't know if the king has not finished handling state affairs, or what book he read? Yingquliang got up and returned respectfully.

"My royal family has nothing to deal with now, it's just a mess. This king can't sleep either, but he reads the Spring and Autumn Period. Saying that, Zhou Bian looked down again, "Oh, it's a section of the Battle of Jinchu Chengpu." ”

"The king, isn't it the twenty-seventh year of the Duke of Xu, Chu Zi will besiege the Song Dynasty, so that Zi Wen will rule the army, and the dynasty will be over, and no one will be killed?" Ying Quliang asked.

"That's exactly this article, have you read it too?" Hearing that Yingqu Liang happened to recite the first sentence of this paragraph in front of him, Zhou Bian was suddenly taken aback, he didn't think that Qin Xiaogong was really a good student when he was a teenager, and he memorized ancient texts.

I saw that Yingquliang still replied calmly, "Back to the king, I naturally read what my father-in-law asked, and I still remember some of it." In fact, before the battle of Jin Chu Chengpu, the Zhou room was in trouble, and I Qin Mugong also wanted to lead the troops to the battle, but I crossed the river and met Jin Wengong, and I Qin Mugong was generous, saying that you Jin Wengong first won the country, if there is no great merit, it is not conducive to the stability of the Jin country, so I will give this great merit to Jin Wengong. Later, when the Chu State invaded the north, our Qin State had not yet sent troops, so the Duke of Jin Wen defeated the Chu army and was rewarded by the royal family. Since then, most of the people who have supported the royal family have been in the Jin Kingdom. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Bian knew what he was going to say, but Zhou Bian did not answer, but smiled and continued to speak.

Seeing the king's encouragement with a smile, Yingqu Liang also came to the spirit, "King, my old Qin people are the horsemen of the Son of Heaven, and the rebellion of the dog Rong when the king of Youwang is even more of my old Qin people's flying horses, which can turn the tide and make my Zhou room not be ashamed of the dog Rong." So far, my old Qin people have always been to help the royal family as their own responsibility, how can their own strength be insufficient, first three generations of rebellion, but now let the Wei State humiliate, have to give up the land of Hexi, but my old Qin people are not convinced. If I can get the help of the royal family, my old Qin people will not be left behind, and they should repay the royal family with enthusiasm, continue to be loyal to the royal family, and uphold the righteousness of the royal family in the world. ”

It turns out that this guy is not all passing through Luoyang, but he still wants to show favor to the royal family, Zhou Bian's heart is finally a little complacent, and the feeling of loss earlier was suddenly swept away, but Zhou Bian's face was as usual, as if he laughed at himself and said, "My royal family now has only three cities, no more than a hundred miles, and tens of thousands of mouths, and the Qin country is thousands of miles wide, and the people with armor are several times the people of my Wangji, but how do you want my royal family to help you Qin State?" ”

"The king's words are wrong, although the royal family is condescended to a corner of Heluo, but the righteousness of the world is still there. And the king is young and intelligent, and he will be the male master of the Zhongxing Zhou room in the near future, if he can read the old Qin people's rescue in the past, he can carry one or two. Now my father-in-law wants to prosper my old Qin, to the world as a businessman, and also know that the royal family's property is also famous in other countries, if the royal family is not disgusted, how about traveling with my Qin country? ”

Speaking of which, it turned out that the greed was produced by the royal family, and the royal family produced nothing more than burning alcohol salt and other things, and the refined salt was not long on the market, presumably it must be soju, and it was originally sold only in the neighboring Han and Wei countries, but I didn't think that the Qin State Office in the far west was also attracted by it, and it seems that the attraction of this high degree of wine to people is far beyond their expectations. However, should I consider this proposal of the prince of the Qin State?

The king didn't speak, and Yingqu Liang's cultivation kung fu was not bad, and for a while the two of them in the hall were in deep thought, but after a while, they were broken by the young master who saluted in.

I saw the young master hurriedly running in, first saluting the king, and then smiling at Yingqu Liang, then whispered, "King, then Wei Gongziang heard that the envoy of the Qin State visited my king overnight, and he was making a fuss in the Sifang Palace, saying that he would also come to visit my king, but let Doctor Qi watch the joke on the side, king, what do you think is going to be?" ”

The young master's voice was not small, and Yingquliang on the side naturally heard it, but this Yingquliang was a person who knew etiquette, so he got up and arched his hand after hearing it, "King, the hour is not early, if the king still has something to do, or the king wants to rest, then Yingquliang will not bother." The king, the ministers retired. ”

Anyway, it seems that this Yingqu Liang is also interesting, so Zhou Bian waved his hand, and after seeing him retreat, he turned around and said to the young master, "Then Wei Ang wants to make trouble, and ask the young master to take some effort to comfort him, but don't let Qi Guoxiao look down on my royal family." Before the hour was early, the king rested. ”

"Yes." The young master said yes and turned around and withdrew.

The next day, the court meeting was too early and not too late, Zhou Bian yawned and climbed the high platform of the main hall, and looked down, only to see the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on the left and right, and it was mighty, and it was really the atmosphere of the dynasty.

After seeing the king, I only heard the Taishi step forward and said, "My lord, the princes of Qi, Wei and Qin sent envoys to visit my king, and now they are waiting outside the palace for our king to summon them, and I also ask my king to show them." ”

"Biography." Now Zhou Bian is also accustomed to his own identity, sometimes it is just such a simple word, but it can also reflect the majesty of the emperor. I only heard the thin echo echoing in the main hall, and after receiving the order, the Taishi bowed down and withdrew, walked to the door of the main hall and shouted, "The envoys of the three sentient beings enter the hall to meet the king!" ”

I had heard about this for a long time, but most of the ministers in the court had not seen these three envoys, so with the shout of the prince, everyone sat up straight from their cushions and turned to the rear, and turned their eyes to the door of the main hall.

The leftist of the three messengers was an older man, but when he reached the gate of the temple, he stopped his steps, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to a young man in the middle, and the young man also stopped his steps in fear, stretched out his hand, and then turned to the other side and made a gesture of invitation to the younger son on the far right. Although he was far away, Zhou Bian still recognized at a glance that the name on the far right was the Yingquliang he had visited last night, and the Yingquliang was given by the other two messengers, but he was taken aback, and he was busy and did not dare to enter first. I saw that after the three of them pushed at the door of the main hall again, they entered the main hall at the same time, and at the same time held their heads high, their long sleeves swayed with their steps, and the three of them were obviously competing.

The three of them walked to the middle of the main hall and stopped, bowed together, and shouted long live. Originally, when I saw the king, I had to bow down, but after the ceremony collapsed, the royal family didn't dare to force it.

Although it was the first time to meet the envoys, Zhou Bian would not panic, and raised his hands steadily, "The three Aiqing are flat!" ”

After the three envoys were flattened, it was the elder on the far left who spoke first, "Foreign Minister Qi State Doctor Tian Ping, pay a visit to my king on behalf of the Duke of Qi!" ”

Then the young son in the middle is naturally Wei Ang, I saw that he was handsome, his eyes did not squint, and he arched his hand uprightly, "Foreign Minister Wei Guogong Ang, on behalf of the Marquis of Wei, visit my king!" The sincerity of his attitude and proper manners can't help but make Zhou Bian wonder if this is the person who made trouble in the Sifang Palace last night. Thinking about this in his head, so much so that Zhou Bian didn't even listen to Yingquliang's self-introduction, and after a while after the three envoys reported to their homes, Zhou Bian reacted, "The three grandfathers really have a heart, and this king is very happy." ”
