After entering the palace, the eunuch who led the way walked in front, without saying a word, and Su Qin didn't want to ask anything, so he followed him vigorously and walked forward. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the eunuch led Su Qin to a cross-courtyard on the west side of the office.

Su Qin saw that there was a side hall in the middle of the courtyard, and there were three bedrooms for people to rest on both sides of the hall. The walls of all the buildings are more than three feet thick and about five feet high, and the walls are painted with vermilion lacquer and blue roof tiles, which are very bright in the sun.

The eunuch led Su Qin outside the palace all the way, and then he ordered Su Qin to wait outside and report the news inside.

After a while, the eunuch came out, and Xuan Su Qin came to see Zhou Tianzi, and specially instructed Zhou Tianzi to kneel and worship first, and when the Son of Heaven did not let him get up, he kept kneeling and talking.

Su Qin nodded, but he also felt that Zhou Tianzi was polite, and when he went to see Qin Jun Yingsi, he just bowed and bowed, and then spoke equally.

It is this Zhou Tianzi who has been reduced to an insignificant little prince, but he still retains the rigid etiquette.

Where did Su Qin know about it, in fact, this was Zhou Tianzi Ji Bian deliberately posing in front of him. If Ji Bian saw Qin Jun Yingsi, Wei Fu, Wei Wang, Qi Wang Tian Piyi, or Zhao Hou, Yan Hou and others, even if it was Han Hou, who was a little younger, how would he dare to put on such a show.

It is often the people who are arrogant, and he is respectful, for fear of offending the princes.

Su Qin obeyed the eunuch's instructions, and when he entered the palace, he knelt down to worship Zhou Tianzi, and said: "Xiaomin Su Qin, meet my king, may my king live forever." ”

Su Qin also heard this set of etiquette for meeting Zhou Tianzi from the street discussions in Luoyang City, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

At the moment when he knelt down, he observed Ji Bian, the son of Zhou Tianzi, and saw that he was already in his fifties, with a thin face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a pale face, sitting on a high pedestal, revealing a majestic momentum.

Hearing Su Qin's rhetoric, Ji Bian snorted lightly, feeling that Su Qin was a small person, but he also knew some palace etiquette.

Zhou Tianzi Ji Bian opened his mouth and asked: "The widow heard that you have learned the art of vertical and horizontal with Guiguzi, and you are already well-known in the world. ”

Su Qin was very moved when he heard that Zhou Tianzi personally asked him for advice, and thought: "After all, I am from Luoyang, and I grew up at the feet of the Son of Heaven since I was a child. It seems that Zhou Tianzi still has a sense of trust in Luoyang's subjects. ”

Because of his closeness, Su Qin did his best to answer Zhou Tianzi's question. He said: "At present, there is a confrontation between two forces, one is the joint vertical of the eastern princes, and the other is the Lianheng of the Qin State. ”

Ji Bian snorted lightly, waiting for Su Qin to continue speaking.

Su Qin continued to talk eloquently: "The Zhou royal family is in the gap between these two forces, and in the opinion of the small people, the Zhou royal family should be inclined to join forces with one side, not only not clearly opposing the Qin state, but also secretly helping the six eastern countries, so that they can be invincible." ”

After Su Qin finished speaking, he raised his eyes and peeked at Zhou Tianzi to see his reaction.

Seeing that Zhou Tianzi's face was a little gloomy, Su Qin felt that something might be wrong, could it be that there was something wrong with what he said? He is wholeheartedly thinking about the Zhou royal family!

Zhou Tianzi Ji Bian pondered for a while, and said coldly: "Since the Zhou royal family moved eastward, the strength of the Zhou family has been weakening day by day, and now, what strength do the widows have to unite the princes, but they are just seeking temporary peace. ”

Su Qin was not so pessimistic, he advised Ji Bian: "Although the Zhou royal family is in decline, it is still the nominal co-lord of the world, and turning to either side is enough to affect the situation. ”

Su Qin thought that Zhou Tianzi would not be careful, so he said bluntly: "Xiaomin thinks that even if the Zhou royal family does not participate in the conspiracy of the eastern princes, it must not conspire with the Qin State. ”

"Because if the Qin State steals the banner of the Zhou royal family, it will greatly speed up the pace of annexing the princes. Under the cover of the nest, how can there be eggs, and after the goal is achieved, the Qin State will definitely be the first to eliminate the Zhou royal family. ”

Su Qin's words were very sincere, he was brave and loyal to Zhou Tianzi at this time, but he didn't know that Ji Bian had actually secretly communicated with Qin for thirty years.

Since the time of Qin Xiaogong, the Qin State has given Zhou Tianzi a large amount of money every year, and Zhou Tianzi has also continuously promoted the status of the Qin State in name, and it is also given to "Wenwu Yin", and "He Yi Huang Huang", and so on. Among them, where can the people know the way.

Su Qin also heard about the special relationship between the Qin State and the Zhou royal family, but the mistake was that he didn't know deeply, and as a native of Luoyang, he was dedicated to the Zhou royal family, so he knew everything and said everything.

And the development of the situation is just as Su Qin said, a few decades later, the Zhou royal family was really the first to be wiped out in the annexation war of the Qin State.

However, at this moment, after listening to Su Qin's tirade, Zhou Tianzi couldn't hold back his anger. What Su Qin said, every word poked into his heart, he was reconciling with the Qin State, and obtained a large amount of property from the Qin State to maintain the use of the Zhou royal family. However, Su Qin asked him to first sever relations with Qin.

Zhou Tianzi scolded: "I heard that you Su Qin abandoned his family and business, and he was romantic, and he was an extremely prodigal dog in Luoyang City. You are ashamed to persuade the widow to secretly join the co-indulgence, what is your intention! Do you want to put the Zhou royal family in a situation from which you will never recover? ”

When Su Qin heard Zhou Tianzi's tone turn angry, he was very panicked in his heart, where did he expect that Zhou Tianzi would be so angry.

Su Qin knelt on the ground with apprehension, thinking, "This is troublesome, I accidentally provoked the Son of Heaven, and I don't know how he wants to punish himself." Alas, if you don't listen, why be so angry? ”

Zhou Tianzi turned around and brushed his sleeves away, leaving Su Qin there alone, he didn't stand up, he didn't stand up, he didn't know what to do.

After a long time, the eunuch came to the hall again, and he said to Su Qin: "The Son of Heaven has a fate, let you wait in the bedroom on the west side." ”

After listening to the eunuch's words, Su Qin straightened up and said in his heart: "Probably the anger of the Son of Heaven has subsided, let me wait in the palace for a while, and still ask for me." It seems that he still values himself! ”

The eunuch led Su Qin to the bedroom on the west side, and then retreated. Su Qin caught a glimpse of a bed in the bedroom, surrounded by a thick curtain, and he couldn't see the situation inside, so he didn't care, so he sat temporarily on the seat in the bedroom, waiting for Zhou Tianzi to summon him again.

About half an hour later, Su Qin sat down with some numbness in his legs, he stood up and walked around, at this time, the bed curtain suddenly moved, Su Qin was startled, could there be something in the bed curtain?
