Zhang Yi raised her glass and toasted a glass of wine to the guests. His words and demeanor were clear about the end of the feast, and everyone saw it, so everyone drank the wine in their glasses, and then prepared to leave.

Zhang Yi specially ordered Zheng Cheng to lead more than a dozen plainclothes warriors who followed him, and carried the money prepared for Lu to the carriage of the two most important figures of the Chu State.

These two people are, of course, the crown prince Mihuai and Ling Yin Zhaoyang. Prince Qihuai drank a lot of wine, and was already a little drunk, he kept asking about Yinghan's whereabouts, saying that he wanted to go to Yinghan to talk about it. The prince's entourage, under the command of Qu Mu, lifted Mi Huai to the carriage and almost forcibly took him away.

Qu Mu did this precisely for the sake of the prince, he was a drunk person, and when he went to see the princess Yinghan of Qin, maybe he would make some outrageous moves. As everyone knows, during the period when the old king was seriously ill, the prince had to fast and live, and it was strictly forbidden to secretly rejoice with the woman.

Besides, what kind of place is this? It is the upper house of the Chu State, there are many people, and there are many inappropriate things in the prince's words just now, and it is estimated that the servants in the upper house have listened to it. For example, if you give Lao Wang a marriage or something, maybe it will spread all over Yingdu City tomorrow.

If he doesn't care about the crown prince anymore, if he really enters the room of the princess of Qin and doesn't come out for a long time, then no one can gossip about him. Thinking of this terrible consequence, Qu Mu also decided to stop the crown prince and forcibly take him back to the palace to continue his life of fasting and prayer out of his loyal protection and for the sake of his imminent power.

Taking advantage of the chaos of Qu Mu taking away the prince Mihuai, Zhang Yi sent Zhaoyang to his carriage, Zhaoyang and Zhang Yi parted hands and said: "You and I are the ministers of Chu and Qin respectively, and we should work together to do something beneficial for the two countries, I don't know what you think, Prime Minister Zhang." ”

Zhaoyang's tone was quite polite, because Zhang Yi, who was standing in front of him recently, was no longer the down-and-out scholar he was back then. It is the appearance of a great power, if it is about the strength of the country, the Qin State is far better than the Chu State, if it is not for the Qin State army to escape from the Michi, how can Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Qin State, be willing to come to the Chu State to invite him to Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang is very clear about this, so he will cling to Zhang Yi, and he will be close to it, leaving a way back for himself, and also fighting for some benefits for the Chu State. At this time, the world is in turmoil, and it is normal for the powerful ministers of various countries to offend their own monarchs and powerful magnates, and they all choose to flee to other countries. Why did Zhaoyang bother to pose in front of Zhang Yi to eliminate a possible retreat for himself.

Although he didn't have a deep grudge against Su Qin, if Su Qin was standing in front of him at this moment, he would also seem to be affectionate and familiar with each other. Zhaoyang is already an old fritter in officialdom, and he has been crawling on this road all his life, and he is very familiar with officialdom interpersonal communication.

Zhang Yi also seized this opportunity, he saw Zhaoyang's friendship and wooing, stretched out his hand, warmly took Zhaoyang's hand, and said: "I, Zhang Yi, can get Zhaolingyin's favor, I am very honored. Tomorrow, I will go to Zhao Ling Yin's Ling Yin Mansion to pay a visit, and talk to Lord Ling Yin alone, I don't know if Zhao Ling Yin is convenient? ”

When Zhaoyang heard that Zhang Yi was coming to visit, he thought that he intended to contact and establish friendship, so he replied briskly: "Then I will wait for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng in Lingyin's mansion tomorrow." ”

He didn't know that Zhang Yi had other plans. After the two agreed, they broke up and went to their own other things.

Zhang Yi returned to the upper house, he first wanted to see how Zheng Cheng and the others had cleaned up the mess of the banquet, but when they arrived in the hall, they saw Yinghan waiting there.

Ying Han said without complaints: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng promised me to cooperate with the prince of Chu tonight, and you can return my freedom, but during the dinner, I was so energetic that I was courteous to the prince of Mihuai, which made him seem to be bent on this family affair." I don't know what your plan is, Prime Minister Lu Dao, why do I think you are coaxing me. ”

Zhang Yi looked at Yinghan, he didn't get angry, but laughed, he joked to Yinghan: "Girl, are you scared, I think that the prince Mihuai is worried about you, and if he doesn't get you, it seems that he will never give up." We are in other people's territory, and the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the snake, so we have to obey others. ”

Ying Han was worried that she would be entangled by Mi Huai, but after listening to Zhang Yi's words, she didn't think about jokes, she was so anxious that she burst into tears, and said with sobs: "What is the reason why your dignified Prime Minister of Qin State deceived a little girl." If I hadn't been forced to marry Huai, I'd rather kill myself. I do what I say, and if you don't believe me, I'll try. ”

Zhang Yi saw that Yinghan was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, so he didn't dare to make fun of Yinghan anymore, and said with a smile: "Miss Yinghan, don't worry, I'm a big man, even if I am not the minister of the Qin Kingdom, I will not sacrifice the future of your little girl." I'm kidding you. Who would have thought that you were in a hurry, and you took it seriously. ”

Yinghan realized that Zhang Yi was joking, so she held back her tears and smiled. She was still a little uneasy, and asked, "What tricks does Prime Minister Zhang have to get me rid of the entanglement of Mihuai?" Why can't I see a way out? ”

Zhang Yi was reluctant to tell Yinghan in detail about his plans and practices, he said vaguely: "People are not free, just like you were forced to come to Chu by your father, then Qi Huai naturally doesn't do whatever he wants, he wants to marry the princess of Qin as his wife, and there will be opposition from others." Wouldn't we be able to turn things around by working on those who oppose them? ”

Ying Han nodded, as if he understood Zhang Yi's strategy, but he didn't know where he was going to start. At this time, it happened that Zheng Cheng walked in from outside the door, and after he dispersed from the banquet, he began to direct the servants in the upper house to clean up the mess, and he was very busy.

When Zhang Yi saw Zheng Cheng, he called him to his side and said to him: "General Zheng, don't worry about tidying up the house first, I want to explain something to you, and you wrote it down carefully." ”

Zheng Cheng stood beside Zhang Yi respectfully with his hands down, and replied: "The last general will obey the order, and the prime minister will come to it." ”

Zhang Yi instructed: "You go and find the servants of the Chu State who served the banquet just now, and reveal to them a rumor, just say that the crown prince of the Chu State, Mi Huai, has taken a fancy to the new princess of the Qin State and wants to marry the princess of the Qin State to enter the door, make her a wife, and form a marriage between Qin and Chu." ”

Zheng Cheng thought that Zhang Yi was going to give some important order, but he didn't expect him to talk about such a trivial matter, he looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, at a loss.
