When Zhao Jiansheng rode a horse and galloped towards the Liang of the Wei Kingdom, Zhao Jie was chatting intimately with Xin Lingjun.

"I have heard for a long time that the gentleman is a corporal, there are three thousand guests, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name, and I admire it." Zhao Jie exclaimed

"It's all the people of the world who look down on me to help me become famous, and it's not worthy of the name, and it's not enough to rely on." Xin Lingjun said modestly.

After a period of greetings, Zhao Jie talked to Xin Lingjun about business.

Zhao Jie first said: "Looking at today's world, Qin is the hegemon, Qi and Chu are second, and the three Jin are again. I heard that Fan Cone of Wei offered advice to the King of Qin, saying: 'Distant friendship and close attack'. Its meaning is very clear, and it cares about the three jins. Now that the king of Qin has seized power, Fan Cone is in charge, and the Three Jin Dynasty will surely become the first target of the Qin State. In order to protect the society of Wei Guoji, what does the monarch want? ”

Xin Lingjun was speechless, he looked at his doorman and asked for help. "Your Royal Highness is serious, my Wei State is pro-Qin, and Qin State will not attack Wei first. If Zhao Han does not die, then my Wei State will not be destroyed for a day. Zhao Qin and clam are contending, and my Wei fisherman is profitable, so take this opportunity to restore strength and revive Wei, which is just around the corner. The doorman searched his stomach and finally came up with such an unrealistic plan.

Zhao Jie smiled when he heard this, and retorted: "I don't know how Mr. Xia is sure that the Qin State will not attack the Wei State, in my opinion, the Qin State must be the first to attack the Wei State, and there are three reasons for this. ”

"Childe, please come for me." Xinlingjun bowed and saluted.

"1. Fan Cone was humiliated in the Wei State, and with Fan Cone's revenge character, he will definitely attack the Wei State, capture those who have humiliated him, and avenge himself.

The feud between Qin and Wei made Qin always pay attention to the movements of Wei, once there was a change in Wei, they would definitely press the border with a large army and force Wei to cede the land, and how much land and cities were enough for Wei to cede it.

By attacking Wei and occupying the land of Wei, Qin could attack Zhao and Chu from the flank, leaving Zhao and Chu exhausted. Zhao Jie said eloquently: "Does Mr. think what he said is right? The Qin State was aggressive, and the joint resistance of Zhao and Wei against Qin has become an inevitable general trend. Does the king think so? ”。

"The general trend is indeed like this, but what does His Highness want? The Three Jin Dynasty has been divided for a hundred years, the Jin Kingdom has become history, the three families go their own way, and the people are also accustomed to the current split situation. Xin Lingjun asked rhetorically. For the convenience of negotiation, Lou Ji had already told the identity of Xinlingjun Zhao Jie, so Xinlingjun did not call Zhao Jie's son, but called him His Royal Highness.

"One word, League!" Zhao Jie raised a finger and said: "Since it is impossible to join the three Jin, we can join the three Jin Alliance, advance and retreat together, and take turns to hold the alliance."

Smart people often don't need much explanation when they speak. After listening to Zhao Jie's words, Xin Lingjun had roughly understood Zhao Jie's idea at this time. Xin Lingjun asked rhetorically: "According to this policy, what benefit can my Wei Kingdom gain?" "The heavy eyes give people a feeling of oppression.

The world is bustling, and in interpersonal interactions, everyone wants to get the most out of themselves. In the war-torn Warring States era, people were not ashamed of their words, they thought that it was hypocritical not to speak for profit, in this regard, Xinlingjun did a good job, and he could also be called a realistic Warring States person who was not out of place.

"Soil Conservation and Forte." Zhao Jie replied: "The status quo can be maintained even if it is not good. The tone is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Then in your opinion, how should Zhao and Wei form an alliance? How should Zhao Wei coordinate after the alliance? Xin Lingjun asked.

Zhao Jie selected some important terms from the covenant signed with Korea, and then made certain statements to Xinlingjun almost invariably.

"Good!" After listening to Zhao Jie's story, Xin Lingjun was amazed, and he was interested in the proposal of an alliance.

The doorman standing beside Xinlingjun saw that Xinlingjun was quite moving, and hurriedly leaned into Xinlingjun's ear and whispered: "The alliance is a big deal, your lord, you have been suspicious of the king recently, I think it's better to keep a low profile." ”

Xinling Jun couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and then said to Zhao Jie with a smile: "Your Highness's plan is indeed very attractive, but in recent days, for some reason, I have been jealous of the king and have been demoted to lose my salary. If the matter of the alliance is played to the king of Wei, most of the king of Wei will deny it without looking at it, and even if the king of Wei reluctantly agrees to the alliance, it is inconvenient to preside over the matter of the alliance again. In order for the alliance to go smoothly, I think Your Highness still needs to choose another meritorious. ”

Zhao Jie was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Xinlingjun to refuse so easily, but the reality was in front of him, and he had to retreat. Zhao Jie asked: "The monarch has been in the court of Wei for many years, is there any good candidate you can recommend to us?" ”

"Xiangguo Wei Qi has been a prime minister for many years, and he has been scheming and calculating, and he can conspire with him; General Yan En, the king's personal person, loyal to the monarch to serve the country, can also conspire with him. The general and Sima Jin is known for his wisdom, and he is in charge of soldiers and horses, and he can also be resourceful," Xin Lingjun replied with a flick of his finger.

"Xie Jun pointed out, and I was grateful." Zhao Jie thanked him: "Time is precious, so I won't bother you anymore and say goodbye." ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Xin Lingjun also saluted: "Farewell." ”、

After speaking, Zhao Jie got up and left Xinlingjun's mansion directly, and Xinlingjun sent Zhao Jie and others to the door.

Looking at the distant figures of Zhao Jie and the others, Xin Lingjun said to the doormen beside him: "I really hope they can succeed, in the face of the invasion of Qiang Qin, my Wei State needs allies too much." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Leaving the Xinling Jun Mansion, Zhao Jie and the others did not go back to the inn, but went to the Wei Qi Mansion. Wei Qi is the prime minister of Wei State, and he has been the prime minister for many years, and has no significant political achievements. During his tenure, the Wei State was in decline and was repeatedly violated by the Qin State and the Qi State. Wei Qi is scheming, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and unpopular, and is disliked by others, and the Wei people privately call him "Wei Man".

When Zhao Jie and his party arrived at the Wei Mansion, it happened that Wei Qi was punishing the servant in front of the door. "Give me a stick." Wei Qi gave an order, and four strong men held wooden sticks and forked a dying servant out of the Wei Mansion. The beaten servant fell down the steps, let out a small last cry of pain, and then rolled down the steps to the ground. Zhao Jie quickly jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, checked the breath, and found that there was still the last faint trace of breath. Zhao Jie turned his head and nodded to Li Min, Fei Jin and Lou Ji, who had already gotten out of the car, signaling that the people who fell to the ground were still saved, and asked them to come over quickly.

"Little brother, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs." A majestic voice came from the top of the steps: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Zhao Jie raised his head and saw a middle-aged man about 50 years old looking at him angrily. Zhao Jie didn't know that this person was Wei Qi, he said eagerly: "Old man, this person is still angry, and he still needs to be saved." ”

Wei Qi was even more furious when he heard this, he roared: "This person is a slave in my family, eating inside and out, I am going to beat him to death today, you don't have to meddle in your affairs anymore, otherwise don't blame me Wei Qi for being unreasonable." With that, Wei Qi stomped heavily on the servant's chest.

"He's in trouble for Wei Qi." Zhao Jie was stunned. Just because Zhao Jie was stunned for a few seconds, Wei Qi's foot stepped heavily on the chest of the fallen man. The heavy blow made the servant stop breathing in an instant, and Zhao Jie didn't have time to rescue him.

Zhao Jie had never seen such a ruthless person since he was a child, Wei Qi's ruthlessness deeply shocked Zhao Jie, he squatted on the ground, stunned again, and remained silent for a long time. Wei Qi seemed to be accustomed to Zhao Jie's behavior, he didn't say a word, turned around and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was slammed shut. After a long time, Zhao Jie, who was half-squatting, came back to his senses.

Due to squatting for too long, Zhao Jie's feet were numb and unconscious. With Li Min's support, Zhao Jie climbed into the carriage. "What to do? We offended Wei Qi, and he will definitely not cooperate with us. Hijin asked worriedly.

Such a person is too offensive, and cooperating with him will unknowingly create many enemies, and it is okay not to cooperate. We can also work with others! Zhao Jie comforted everyone: "I dare to conclude that this person will not live for long." Within a few years, Wei Qi died in the scheme of his enemies.

As soon as the matter of being killed by Wei Qi made a fuss, the mood of Zhao Jie and the others fell to a low point in an instant, and everyone was in no mood to continue to visit Yan En and Jin Contempt, so they returned to the inn.

Zhao Jie and his party rushed back to the inn before dark, and when they arrived at the inn, the people around them had already talked about the killing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. "The efficiency of the people's news dissemination is so fast!" Zhao Jie sighed secretly.

Zhao Jie was among the people and obtained the general truth of the matter. It is said that Fan Ju, a Wei man, had a poor family in his early years, and he could not see the king of Wei because of his poor family, so he joined the middle doctor Xu Jia as a guest. Later, he went to Qi with Xu Jia, and was speechless by the king of Qi Xiang in Qi Guo, and Fan Ju stepped forward to relieve the siege for his master Xu Jia. Seeing Fan Zun's talent, Xu Jia was deeply jealous, and after returning to China, he falsely accused Xiangguo Wei Qi of accepting bribes and betraying intelligence. Wei Qi did not check, flogged, Fan Ju was thus devastated by the Xiangguo Wei Qi, the dying Fan Cone had to cheat to death in order to survive, and then escaped from the house with the help of the caretaker of the Wei Qi Mansion and the Wei Zheng Anping, and the Fan Cone who went out of the house changed his name to Zhang Lu, and after hardships, he was recorded in Qin by the Qin envoy Wang Ji. After Fan Ju entered Qin, he offered advice to seize power, which was valued by King Qin Zhao, and now he is expected to ascend to the phase of Qin. Now that there had been sporadic news of the truth or falsehood of the news back to Wei, Wei Qi was terrified and afraid that the news was true, so he found the servant who was guarding and killed him to vent his anger.
