Chapter 405: No Retreat

When there were only three people left in the hall, he let Gao Sheng and Zhang Yi sit down on the guest table, and the tables on the table had already been arranged with a full set of wine and food, just waiting for the guest and host to talk about the wine.

It was inevitable that Zhu Liji and Zhang Yi would toast each other with a few glasses of wine, and they drank for a while. In the meantime, Zhu Liji simply asked Zhang Yi's intention.

He also mentioned the incident in Anyi back then, and he specially asked: "When I was in Anyi City, thanks to Mr. Zhang's teaching, I don't know if Mr. was intentional or unintentional?" ”

Zhang Yi faced this question and felt difficult to reply, because if he did it on purpose, it would inevitably be suspected of eating inside and out, wouldn't it make Zhu Li Ji look down on himself. However, if it is said that it was unintentional, then how can it be said that he has contributed to the Qin State?

is a good Zhang Yi, he reacted quickly enough, and after a little thought, he replied: "There are many things in the world that are intentional or not, and the key is to see whether the listener is intentional or not." Even if I said something like that at the time, I am afraid that if I didn't have someone as smart as Childe, I am afraid I would not have listened to it. ”

Zhang Yi's answer can be said to be just right, not only did not say his psychological state at that time, but also secretly praised the intelligence of the young man. Sure enough, after hearing this, he realized in his heart, and he laughed.

He comprehended Zhang Yi's cleverness, admired him a little, and was indeed grateful to Zhang Yi for his advice when he was in Anyi, so he continued: "It is really a blessing for the country that my Qin State can get a talent like Mr. Zhang Yi to come to assist, I hope that Mr. Zhang Yi can live in Xianyang for a few more days with peace of mind, and let us find a suitable position for Mr. ”

Zhang Yi listened to the meaning of the words, and her heart was happy at first, but then it was half cold. He was very anxious, but he was clearly ill and advised him not to be anxious.

Of course, Zhang Yi still had to show that he was not in a hurry in the subsequent conversation, and he replied: "I, Zhang Yi, am not talented, and it is my wish to be able to show my skills in the Qin State. ”

Gao Sheng didn't know what was going on, but at this time he was happy, because the young man had already agreed to run for Zhang Yi's affairs, how could he not be happy.

Gao Sheng kindly reminded Zhu Liji: "At this time, you still need to be secretive, it is best for the prince to meet the king alone and recommend it to him." ”

Zhu Li glanced at Gao Sheng, and said in his heart: "Since I agreed, of course what I do is measured, why bother you to tell me." Out of politeness, he nodded slightly.

After the three of them decided on the matter of recommending Zhang Yi, they were also a lot more at ease with each other, so they opened their hearts, chatted, and drank until late at night.

After he dispersed the court the next day, he went to see his brother Guojun Ying Si alone, recommended Zhang Yi to Ying Si, and praised Zhang Yi's talent.

Ying Si stared at his younger brother Zhu Liji, as if he was exploring his true intentions: "My younger brother Yingjian also came to vigorously recommend Zhang Yi, is he really for the Qin State, or is he going to gang up for personal gain and expand his power?" ”

Seeing that his brother Yingsi hesitated, he suggested: "A talent like Zhang Yi who is well versed in the way of combining vertical and horizontal is exactly what the Qin State urgently needs. ”

"Retain this person, dismantle and merge with the technique of connecting horizontally, and only then can the hegemony of our Qin State regain its vitality. Don't make him disheartened and leave the Qin State. He persuaded again with good words.

Ying Si was obviously moved by his younger brother's words, and Ying Si replied: "Zhang Yi is indeed a talent. ”

He stroked his short hair and groaned for a long time. Later, he added: "But what Gongsun Yan said, the widow can't ignore it, what if he is an undercover agent sent by the Six Kingdoms, specifically to mislead the widow and bring disaster to the Qin State?" You must know that this person is a disciple of Guiguzi, and we didn't want to come to Qin State when we forcibly invited each other. ”

Zhu Li replied: "According to the guess of the minister's brother, although Zhang Yi and Su Qinshi are out of the same family, Su Qin has already gained momentum, and the so-called winner takes all, there is no room for Zhang Yi to show his skills in the Six Kingdoms." I look at Zhang Yi and his person, he is not a high-minded and arrogant person who is willing to live under Su Qin, so naturally he will come to Qin to look for opportunities.

How do you know that Ying Si sighed lightly and said: "The widow has been repeatedly trapped and humiliated by that Su Qin child, and he is about to repay the 'debt' from him, so he has to use his junior brother Zhang Yi to break the alliance of Su Qin, which is what the widow is looking forward to day and night." However, people are brothers and sisters, so is it so easy to take refuge in my Qin State? ”

Brother Yingsi was so suspicious that he didn't expect it at all, he knew that Gongsun Yan's words had already nailed a nail of strong suspicion in the monarch's heart, and it was not easy to pull out this "nail".

Seeing that he had said a lot of good things for Zhang Yi, his brother Yingsi still had doubts, so he could only give up for the time being and make another plan.

He said to Ying Si: "What Brother Jun is worried about, Brother Jun understands. He paused for a moment and suggested, "Then, why don't I examine Zhang Yi more carefully, find out his intentions, test his loyalty, and then we will make a decision." ”

Of course, Ying Si understood that Zhang Yi's eloquence and outstanding intelligence were what Qin Guo needed most at the moment, but what he was not sure about was the consequences of reusing Zhang Yi. He thought to himself: "Once Zhang Yi is like Su Qin, he will come when he says he will come, and he will leave when he says he will go." Didn't I, the Qin State, not only lose the minister, but also leak important secrets, then I still have it! ”

He thought about it, made up his mind, and replied: "What Brother Ji said is very true, of course the widow is willing to make the best use of his talents, if Zhang Yi is indeed desperate to give advice and work hard for my Qin State, of course the widow will be of great use to him." ”

But thinking of the possible extremely unfavorable and harmful results, Qin Jun Yingsi unconsciously shuddered. He stabilized his mind, and then said to his younger brother Zhu Liji: "Brother Ji, go and inspect Zhang Yi in detail, if this person is loyal to my Qin State, we will give him a high-ranking official." If he really has two hearts, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

When Qin Jun Yingsi said this, he waved his hand and made a "click" gesture, which clearly meant that he unceremoniously killed Zhang Yi in Xianyang.

Seeing that his brother Yingsi's eyes were shining with a fierce light at this time, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and thought: "It seems that this time Zhang Yi defected to the Qin State, only succeed, not failure, success will have a bright future, glory and wealth at your fingertips; If you fail, you will not only not be able to return to the Six Nations, but you will also die without a place to be buried. ”

Zhang Yi is not only kind to himself, but also a resourceful person he likes, how can he bear Zhang Yi's most tragic ending.
