When Su Qin heard this, he was overjoyed, isn't this exactly what he was looking forward to, this time he entered Chu and didn't have much illusions about the reward, because the Chu State was very high, and he might not necessarily give himself the title of Ling Yin. Where did Su Qin expect that it turned out that the order of the Chu State was the easiest to come by.

He couldn't help but sigh that there are many unpredictable things on the way of life, and he often thinks it is easy, but it is difficult to do it; And what I thought was impossible, I persevered, but it unexpectedly went well. However, no matter what, there is no way out.

Su Qin hurriedly came out from behind a few cases, bowed down on the side of several cases, and performed the salute of "avoiding the seat" to show his respect for the king of Chu. He said: "The micro-ministers are blessed with the love of the king, and they are sincerely afraid, and the ministers are willing to run for the king's princes to repay the king's kindness." ”

The king of Chu, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu, laughed, attended in person, helped Su Qin up, and said: "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, and the widow will hold a ceremony to worship the seal in a few days, so that you can get the title of Chu State Ling Yin in a righteous and beautiful manner." ”

The king of Chu and Su Qin's ministers had a very pleasant conversation, Su Qin observed Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, and saw that although he looked a little arrogant on the outside, but when he dealt with him carefully, he found that this person was well-informed and acted very measured, and he could be regarded as a wise monarch among the monarchs of this era.

As the conversation between the two deepened, the king of Chu also remembered the strange things that happened after Zhang Yi entered Chu before. Of course, Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, knew something about his son Mi Huai, and he may not have fully trusted Yin Zhaoyang and the crown prince Mi Huai, but the law does not blame the public, and he can't completely offend the magnates of the Chu State because he punished them too severely.

If he does that, he will not be able to keep his throne. Since ancient times, kings seem to have power in one, but who knows, if the king does not know how to follow the trend, how many people can get a good death, and after the violent death, they will not get a good nickname, and they will be infamous through the ages.

In order to avoid accidents at the dinner, the king of Chu had deliberately excluded the prince Mihuai from the list of participants in the banquet, fearing that Su Qin would ask about Zhang Yi on the spot, and the prince Mihuai showed his feet.

However, Zhang Yi is another topic that cannot be avoided, and it must always be faced, Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, thought: "It's better to take advantage of the cheerful atmosphere of today's banquet and make things clear, so as not to come to find the account after Su Qin sees Zhang Yi later, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing at that time." ”

The king of Chu then raised his wine glass and said to Su Qin: "It's really a pleasure to be widowed today, but there is one thing that has to be said. It is the unfortunate experience of Prime Minister Su Cheng's younger brother Zhang Yi in my country. ”

Su Qin was originally holding back in his chest, and he had always wanted to ask about the King of Chu, but when he heard that he mentioned it first, he couldn't help but listen attentively.

The king of Chu continued: "At the summer banquet that day, my unfilial prince Mi Huai drank some wine, and impulsively accused Zhang Yi of seducing the crown princess, and accused him of stealing jade, but in fact, it was just a misunderstanding. ”

As he spoke, the King of Chu glared at Zhaoyang who was sitting on his left side again, and then said, "This order of mine Yin Zhaoyang did not delve into the reason, and ordered Zhang Yi to be beaten. Later, Zhang Yi disappeared, and according to Dr. Jingchi, he had recovered and was living in the countryside of Chu State. ”

The king of Chu sighed and said bitterly: "The widow failed to take care of your junior brother, so he was wronged in the Chu country, and he was very unhappy. If you can see Zhang Yi again, please be sure to convey the widow's apology and sincerity, the widow sincerely hopes that he will stay in the state of Chu as an official. ”

Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, listened to Su Qin very moved by his slightly condescending words, he felt that the king of Chu could have such a mind, let go of the dignity of a king, and apologize for Zhang Yi's matter, it was really not easy, and he tended not to go to the queen of Chu in his heart.

Therefore, Su Qin said: "The king doesn't have to worry too much, after I find my junior brother Zhang Yi, try my best to persuade him to want to open it." ”

When the king of Chu heard Su Qin's answer, he was obviously very pleased, and he said in a loud voice: "So good, so good, the widow is very grateful for Prime Minister Su's kindness, and your sea-like mind is also admired by the widow." ”

King Chu's words sounded very harsh in Zhaoyang, and he snorted angrily at the wine and food on his case, but he didn't move his cup. He said in his heart: "Why did the king apologize to Su Qindao so lowly, it was that Zhang Yi who made a mistake in the first place, so we scolded him; Having said that, even if you beat him, you won't be a king to apologize. ”

Zhaoyang couldn't understand the heart of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu took the lead in saying the words of apology and apology, just to block Su Qin's mouth, and to ask Su Qin to know the truth in the future, even if he knew the truth, he would not unite with Zhang Yi to find the back account of Chu State.

In that way, not only would the alliance with Su Qin be negotiated, but the good things of Chu State would not be successful, and a new enemy would be provoked, so why bother!

The king of Chu first exhausted the number of rituals and lowered his posture, which is called retreating for advancement and bending for stretching. King Xiong Shang of Chu is not unintelligent!

Moreover, the king of Chu already suspected the true truth of the matter from the report of Zhaoyang Qihuai afterwards, he had seen Zhang Yi and his people, and he didn't believe that such a scholar who looked like Geng Jie would do a stupid thing of stealing chickens and dogs.

He thought at the time: "Zhang Yi doesn't need to do bad things, because his brilliant future in the Chu State is just around the corner, how can he destroy his future because he is greedy for small gains?" As for the indecent crown princess, if it is true, it is just a drunken impulse, and there is no real adultery. ”

The king of Chu understands the temperament of the magnates of Chu very well, and even he can't be offended casually by a king, let alone a person from another country like Zhang Yi.

The king of Chu was also deeply disappointed in his crown prince, but he was too old and might die one day, and he would change the prince at this time, but he was afraid of domestic chaos behind him, so he endured it.

On that day, when the court asked the prince whether he was against welcoming Su Qin into the country, he was actually really angry in his heart, if the prince objected on the spot, it would show that he didn't take himself seriously, and he was very likely to immediately order to take away his crown prince. However, Qu Mu's illness disrupted the court, and the matter was over.

Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, sighed at the way out of the Chu State in the future, there was a strong Qin outside, and there were old nobles who were not fighting inside, and they were repeatedly hindered, and they were frequently stupefied, and the future was uncertain. Who in the Chu State could know that he had tried to win over Su Qin and join the Hezhong, which was really so that the Chu State could still maintain a relatively stable external environment under the condition of domestic politics.

Su Qin obviously didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Chu State, and he lacked interest, what he wanted was the external support of the Chu State for the Hezong Alliance, and no matter how the nobles fought and consumed inside, it would not affect the overall situation of the Hezong.

As a result, Su Qin lacked a personal perception of what happened to his junior brother Zhang Yi, unlike Zhang Yi, who hated the magnates of Chu State, hated his chest, and was bent on revenge.

"The son is not me, and I know that I don't know the joy of fish?" It was during this period that a small official in charge of the lacquer tree garden in the state of Chu said this earth-shattering sentence.
