Chapter 303: Double Reed Play

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and replied to Meng Ting: "The words on the silk book are recognizable, and they are undoubtedly from Senior Brother Su; The other party is very rusty, but if I am not mistaken, it must be from Miss Meng's handwriting. ”

Meng Ting was happy and said: "It's down, but I don't think Mr. Zhang likes my calligraphy very much." Why don't we give you a change and bring you your brother's old silk book? ”

Su Qin listened to the conversation between Meng Ting and Senior Brother Zhang, and felt that there must be some implicit meaning between the two of them, but one of them was a junior brother and the other was a younger wife, and he trusted them very much, so how could he know the strangeness.

When he heard that Meng Ting was going to change the silk book for Senior Brother Zhang, he thought, "Is this necessary?" The two are not the same, but the old and the new are different. Su Qin thought that Senior Brother Zhang would generously refuse, but unexpectedly, he didn't do that.

Zhang Yi listened to Meng Ting's words, and stopped talking, wandering in her heart, and was undecided. When Meng Ting saw this scene, she understood very well in her heart.

She hurriedly pulled Su Qin to the room of the two, and asked Su Qin to find the old one from her luggage, handed it to Zhang Yi, and retrieved the new silk book that the two had written overnight.

Su Qin was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" Meng Ting chuckled, looked at Su Qin calmly, and said, "The two silk books were written by you and me, half of you and half of me, isn't it good to be a testimony of the friendship between the two?" ”

Su Qin thought that what Meng Ting said was true, and felt that Meng Ting was really careful, and indeed the silk book was very commemorative for him, so he went to Zhang Yi to exchange the silk book back. Zhang Yi did not excuse or politely, and carefully put away the old silk book.

Just when Su Qin and Zhang Yi were exchanging old and new silk books, Chen Xu happened to come to the door, he was anxious to see Qi Wangtian Pijiang, so he cried for more rescuers.

Su Qin came out of Zhang Yi's room, saw Chen Xu at a glance, greeted him, and was secretly happy in his heart: "This Chen Xu is really in a hurry, and he has to urge himself to take him into the palace early in the morning." ”

Sure enough, Chen Xu smiled and said: "Yesterday, Prime Minister Su said, let's go into the palace together to see King Qi today, I don't know how you are prepared, how about we leave immediately?" ”

Su Qin thought to himself: "Chen Xu is direct enough, it seems that he is full of confidence. He thought for a moment: "It's good to take him into the palace at this time, it is not a good thing for King Qi to meet Chen Xu before attending the court meeting." ”

Su Qin made up his mind and replied: "I promised Prime Minister Chen, how dare I forget it casually, let's leave." ”

Su Qin didn't even go back to his own room, turned his head and went back to Zhang Yi's junior brother's room, and invited him into the palace together. Zhang Yi also quickly cleaned up.

Su Qin explained his whereabouts to Meng Ting, and after that, he took a carriage and took Chen Xu and Zhang Yi to Linzi Palace to meet King Qi.

Because Su Qin is the guest secretary of the current Qi State, he explained a few words to the guards of Linzi Palace, and the guards let Su Qin and Chen Xu's carriage into the palace.

After entering the palace, they parked the carriage in the palace, and then, Su Qin, Chen Xu and the other three walked to Shouning Palace. When he arrived in front of the dormitory, he asked the eunuch on duty to make a report, and after a while, the eunuch came out to announce the edict: "King Xuan Suqing and the guests of Wei will meet immediately." ”

Su Qin thought to himself: "The King of Qi has been prepared, otherwise how could he announce the edict so quickly." Su Qin was even more unhurried, he waited to see the excitement of King Qi and Chen Xu.

When Su Qin and the others entered, King Qi was sitting in front of the bed, and a palace maid combed his hair, and he was already wearing a deep coat embroidered with a yellow golden python, which was the formal clothing when he met the ministers.

As soon as Chen Xu entered the palace, he approached five steps forward one after another, faster than the speed of the trot, and did not allow Su Qin to introduce him, he knelt on the ground and reported to the King of Qi: "Chen Xu, the prime minister of the Wei State, needs to meet the king, and Weichen wishes the king good health and longevity." ”

Although King Qi was prepared to meet Chen Xu in his heart, he still thought that he would follow a fixed ritual, and Su Qin would introduce him first, and then he would say a few polite words to Chen Xu. Unexpectedly, Chen Xu got straight to the point, and he eagerly took the initiative to come up and bow down, and introduce himself.

Chen Xu's self-recommendation behavior also surprised Su Qin, and he said in his heart: "Okay, you Chen Xu, I thought you would follow the rules, it turned out to be not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was straightforward when you came up, it seems that I really underestimated your heart." ”

Chen Xu took the initiative this time and deliberately calculated many times, he finally entered the Linzi Palace, and saw Qi Wangtian Bijiang, how could he easily give up the opportunity.

Su Qin was secretly alert to Chen Xu's next move, and he really sweated for King Qi: "Can King Qi handle this difficult Chen Xu?" ”

At the same time, Su Qin also felt a trace of regret: "I knew that Chen needed to have these tricks, shouldn't I have introduced him to King Qi in the first place." ”

When Chen Xu hurried towards King Qi, King Qi was also taken aback, he was originally sitting there steadily, combing his hair by the palace maid, enjoying the comfortable feeling of the palace maid's gentle and small slender hands crossing the hairline. Chen Xu's move made King Qi twist his body to the bed, and the comb in the palace maid's hand fell to the ground.

King Qi squinted at Chen Xu with a look of displeasure, he glanced at Su Qin again, which means: Look at what kind of difficult person you brought me in, how could you be so rude.

Qi Wangtian didn't react for a while, and forgot to call Chen Xu back. Su Qin was in a hurry, and quickly changed the topic, he took Zhang Yi's hand, also took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and saluted, and then introduced King Qi and said: "The king wants to see my junior brother Zhang Yi the day before yesterday, and I will bring him to the palace today." ”

Zhang Yi is also a clever person, and he is also busy learning Chen Xu's rhetoric, and said: "Xiaomin Zhang Yi meets the king, may the king be blessed with the sky, and the jade body will live in good health." ”

Su Qin intervened and introduced his junior brother Zhang Yi to King Qi, just to let him rest down and not have to face Chen Xu directly, so King Qi hurriedly replied to Zhang Yi: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang Yi, Su Qing's family has repeatedly recommended you to the widow, but the widow has been entangled in state affairs, and I only saw it today." ”

Chen Xu originally finished saying the eulogy, and then asked for the military situation of Wei State, and then cried for help. One of the steps that had been arranged was interrupted by the dialogue between Su Qin and the King of Qi.

The King of Qi did not answer him, but how could Chen Xu be reconciled, he interjected urgently again: "Weichen is from the Wei State, the Wei State suffered a great disaster in Anyi, more than 30,000 people were besieged in the city, and they could not be rescued......"

Qi Wangtian Pijiang had already breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he saw that Chen Xu was so persistent, for fear that he would let him talk too much and he would not be able to get off the stage, so he interrupted Chen Xu's words. He replied, "Oh, it's Mr. Chen Xu of Wei." Didn't the widow let Su Qin lead his troops to support the Wei State? Our country is not at peace, and there is nothing the widow can help. ”

When Su Qin heard King Qi's answer, he quickly echoed: "Weichen was ordered by the king yesterday to go to the Linzi Northern Army to inspect the preparations of the soldiers going to Anyi, and the king can rest assured that Weichen will handle this matter properly." ”

King Qi and Su Qin sang and harmonized, just to seal Chen Xu's words.

Chen Xu came to Qi State, and the dignified prime minister of Wei State did not even see the face of the King of Qi, and it was inevitable to be rude to do so in terms of Qi Wang Tian Pijiang; As far as Su Qin is concerned, if Chen needs to see King Qi once and touch a nail, how can he trust himself with all his heart.

Su Qin was undoubtedly also preparing for the command of the future Anyi battle situation, Chen Xu had lost the hope of the most reluctant, and he was not yet able to support him wholeheartedly in the future.

Now that the war situation in Anyi is tight, the armies of Wei and Qi, plus the reinforcements of Zhao, must have a unified command. If any of the armies of the three countries does not obey orders and is not single-minded, it can only be defeated.

Now that Su Qin is the guest secretary of Qi and the prime minister of Zhao, of course there is no problem with the military command of these two countries, but when it comes to Wei, it is not certain. blocked all of Chen Xu's retreats, and he would naturally lead the Wei army and firmly grasp Su Qin, the most powerful straw.

Therefore, the double reed play co-starred by King Qi and Su Qin has its own plans, so Chen must cry according to his intentions.

When Chen Xu heard what the King of Qi said, he thought: "Where do you really support my Wei army, it's just three thousand Qi troops, what can you do if you put it on the battlefield of Anyi?" He didn't do it endlessly, but simply resorted to his usual tragic drama.

I saw tears rolling in Chen Xu's eyes, and said: "The king's kindness, Su Qing has already conveyed it to me, but the king doesn't know that the siege of Anyi in Wei is extremely critical, and a big country like Qi has to send an army to rescue him." ”

King Qi saw that there were tears in Chen Xu's eyes, and said in his heart: "It seems that what Su Qin said is not false at all, this person is really able to cry and cry well, and without saying a few words, the tears will fall." ”

King Qi was used to being informal, and when he saw Chen Xu's sad expression, he laughed instead. I think this person is also a "strange person" I haven't seen before.

Su Qin caught a glimpse of the King of Qi's smile and thought, "The prime minister of the Wei State is crying, but the king of your Qi is laughing, what is going on." Isn't it rumored that the world will criticize it? ”

He saw that the etiquette that should be fulfilled was almost over, and the King of Qi had also met Chen Xu, and Chen Xu had also stated the military situation of the Wei State, and anyone could say it in both cases. Therefore, Su Qin immediately changed the topic again.

Su Qin said: "The Qi army will go to Anyi of Wei tomorrow, and Weichen has one more thing to ask for: Weichen's younger brother Zhang Yi was originally from Wei and is familiar with the terrain of Wei. ”

When King Qi heard Su Qin interject again, he also understood that Su Qin did it on purpose, he avoided Chen Xu's statement, but specifically answered Su Qin's request, and said: "What Su Qing's family said is reasonable, and the widow has also heard that Zhang Yi is a sage in the world and a rare talent. The widow is willing to worship Zhang Yi as the middle doctor of Qi State, I don't know what Mr. Zhang Yi thinks? ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yi bowed to the ground again and thanked him, and said: "Weichen is grateful to the king, thank the king, and wish to repay the king's favor." ”
