Zhang Yi said, stood up, bowed to Zheng Sleeve, and took a few steps back to find his shoes. Zheng Sleeve saw that Zhang Yi would stay soon, and seemed to be a little disappointed.

She said: "Tomorrow morning, I will find an excuse to see the prince, tell him about the danger of Qu Jian's father and son, and persuade him to order Michi to change generals and retreat from the Chu army." But if I have news here, how can I tell you? ”

She didn't wait for Zhang Yi to think about it, so she made up her mind and said, "Why don't we talk about it here, you can talk about your progress there, and I will talk about my advice." ”

Zhang Yi saw that Zheng Sleeve had already made up his mind, what could he say to himself, whether he wanted to or not, it was still the safest and safest choice to meet Zheng Sleeve in Jin Shang's Mansion. Zhang Yi nodded and said, "It's so good, we are all very convenient and familiar." ”

At the same time, there was also a sense of distress in his heart, feeling that during his time in Yingdu, it seemed that he would be asked to see Zheng Sleeve more times, because she didn't seem to be satisfied with only seeing one or two sides.

Zhang Yi thought about the benefits of interacting with Zheng Sleeve carefully, and persuaded herself to open up, because in this era, whether it is between the harem of the same country and foreign courts, or between the courts and courtiers of different countries, there may be inextricable links, and it has become the norm to support or use each other.

This is an era of chaos, an era of almost daily reorganization of power, an era of relative freedom of man, an era of great unleashing of ideas and creativity.

Zhang Yi heard that there was a strange man named Zhuang Zhou in Mengcheng of the Song Kingdom, and Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, sent someone to invite him to come out as an official, but he refused, preferring to be a free dirty boar than a sacrificial cow to be slaughtered with brocade clothes and delicacies. In the eyes of the world, this person is even more eloquent, wanton, empty and useless, but the article hides a secret secret, which is not understandable by ordinary people. After his wife's death, he sang on the clay pot and disdained it in the face of the ridicule of the world.

It is precisely in such an era of novelty and uniqueness that so many unique ideas and personalities will emerge. Zhang Yi thought: "Isn't he just a wandering scholar, why wear the crown of a moral gentleman." In this world, almost no one cares about this swaggering 'high crown'. He thought about it, and he laughed at the grandeur of his past.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Sleeve, Zhang Yi couldn't be idle for a moment when he was already on duty at night. When he heard that Zheng Sleeve was going to see the crown prince as soon as possible, it was necessary for him to make some arrangements before that, so that the best effect could be shown.

Zhang Yi went to find Jingchi that night and knocked on the door of Jingchi's mansion. When he saw him, even Jing Chi was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Yi would come to look for him so late.

Jing Chi let Zhang Yi go to his study, and after the two sat down, Zhang Yi asked Jing Chi: "I heard that most of the relatives of the Chu State are opposed to the prince marrying the Qin State when the old king was seriously ill and marrying the princess of the Qin State into the family. I wonder if Dr. Jing also heard about it? ”

Jing Chi nodded and said, "After Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's banquet the night before yesterday, I don't know what the news of Prince Ludao's intention to marry the princess of Qin will spread, and it quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of Yingdu, and people are talking about it. I also heard that especially the nobles of the clan headed by Zongzheng Qu Jian were so angry that they all recommended Qu Jian to advise Lao Wang and stop the prince from going his own way. ”

Jing Chi was also worried about this matter, and he felt the uneasy atmosphere that was unique to the court of Chu State when there was a change of power. He persuaded Zhang Yi: "For the sake of Qin Chu's reconciliation, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng kindly married the princess of Qin to the crown prince, which is a beautiful thing, but this is not the right time. Can Prime Minister Zhang reconsider? ”

Zhang Yi frowned, stroked his chin with his hand, and deliberately thought for a while, he said: "Since Doctor Jing also has this judgment, for the sake of you and the smooth transfer of the throne of Chu State, I can bring the princess of Qin State Yinghan back to China." However, now that the crown prince Mi Huai has moved his mind to marry the princess, I am afraid that he also needs someone to persuade him to dispel this idea. ”

Jing Chi was particularly happy when he heard that Zhang Yi had promised to withdraw his plan to marry the princess of Qin, and he exaggerated Yi: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has a broad mind and a belly like rivers and seas, admire, admire!" If you can take back your life, it will be much easier. Zong Zheng Qu Jian, who manages the affairs of the Chu clan, is a straight person, and I told him as soon as possible that the Qin State can cancel the news that the princess can be married to Chu, and the prince will personally go to advise him, which should be able to stop the prince's impulsive thoughts. ”

Zhang Yi came to Jingchi, what he wanted was this result, he pretended to be helpless and said: "Alas, it was originally a good thing, but who knew that with these unexpected changes, our Qin State could only do it." Qin Guojun, after I return to China, I will explain patiently. ”

Jing Chi was very grateful to Zhang Yi and felt that Zhang Yi had a good heart, and he considered the matter of marriage from the standpoint of Chu State. As for Qu Jian's secret of advising the prince, he didn't think much about it at all, he just felt that this straightforward Zongzheng should come forward. After the two exchanged their thoughts with each other, Zhang Yi said goodbye to Jingchi, and then returned to the upper house to rest.

After Zhang Yi left, Jing Chi personally went to Zong Zheng Qu Jian's mansion to find him that night, regardless of the dead of night, and told him about Qin's new attitude towards marriage. The reason why Jing Chi was in such a hurry was that he was worried that it would be too late to report the news, so Qu Jian bypassed the prince and directly admonished Lao Wang. Lao Wang Xiongshang is now living in the palace, I wonder if he can still listen to Qu Jian's advice soberly?

If the old king can listen to it, he will definitely be furious, maybe he will greatly punish the prince Mihuai, and the prince has almost completely controlled the court at this time, and the father and son turn their faces It is not known, Chu State is not going to be in chaos?

If Lao Wang is so ill that he doesn't know what to do, once Qu Jian's recital is submitted, it will inevitably fall into the hands of the prince, and how can the prince spare Qu Jian?

Jing Chi thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was better for Qu Jian to make it clear to the prince in person, so as not to cause a big bad situation in the dynasty and turmoil in national politics. When he found Qu Jian and informed Qin Guo's latest statement, he also expressed his advice, believing that Qu Jian's first object of advice was the crown prince, rather than directly admonishing the old king Xiong Shang.

Qu Jianzheng was worried about this matter, as the supreme official in charge of the affairs of the clan, he certainly attached great importance to everyone's attitude towards the prince's marriage. Qu Jian was thinking about adopting some appropriate ways or means to feedback the attitude of the clan nobles to the ears of the prince, but he was still hesitating, not as rumored by the outside world, to go to Lao Wang Xiong Shang in person to admonish.
