Two days later, Qi was in Linzi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the palace, the ministers gathered, each talking about his views on the current day.

This is divided into two factions, with Qi Xiang Zou Ji as the faction advocates recuperation and recuperation, and Qi is rich, but in recent years, it has been strong, and to put it bluntly, Zou Ji still has a lot to do with it.

King Qi Wei was willing to recuperate in peace in the early years, and Zou Ji just showed his talent, that is, Zou Ji was dedicated to the people and to the people of Qi to live and work in peace and contentment, which was loved by the people and the love of King Qi Wei.

The establishment of the Jixia School Palace and the change of the system, many of which are inseparable from Zou Ji. In today's Qi court, many civil officials are Zou Ji's doormen, and some are interested in Zou Ji's person, and would rather be a doorman in Zou Ji's house than enter the court as an official.

Therefore, at this time in the court of Qi State, Xiangguo Zou Ji's words were particularly weighty.

In addition, it is a person with Tian Ji and Sun Bin as the faction. Tian Ji is a famous general of Qi State, although his talent is not as good as Pang Juan and Sun Bin who are competing for talents from various countries, but he can also be regarded as a famous general in the world, at least in the past wars with Yan and Chu, Tian Ji is not lagging behind.

After recuperation, Tian Ji advocated the expansion of the king of Qi In his opinion, the current state of Qi has the strength to compete for hegemony and princes, and at this time it should be feared by other countries, on the other hand, King Qi Wei has always been very interested in the belonging of the Wei state, but the subject country of the Wei State before the Wei State has always paid tribute to the behemoth Wei State of the Central Plains.

But now, the Wei State is no longer as good as it was at the beginning, and the Qi State is a powerful country with Zou Ji working hard inside, and Tian Ji and Pang Juan planning outside.

These days, Tian Ji has been signaling to King Qi Wei with various words, but Zou Ji has been hinting to King Qi Wei that it is fundamental to recuperate and recuperate, and to make the people and the country strong.

The two have their own opinions, and now they have been secretly fighting for three days. On the main seat, King Qi Wei's head had already begun to hurt.

"Your Excellency, Chen Zhen, the envoy of Wei, will meet you." At this moment, a eunuch walked in slowly with his head bowed and bowed his hand.

"Wei envoys? Chen Zhen? King Qi Wei frowned and whispered to himself, "How come the widow has never heard of such a person?" ”

"Back to the king's words." As King Qi Wei's words fell, Tian Ji went to the corner of Yang's mouth, and the two handfuls of beard moved slightly, and took a step forward and bowed his hand: "This person has heard of it slightly, so he put it in Daliang's eyeliner to report, this person is the doctor of Wei, and this year, because he recommended himself in the court to improve the farmland in Hedong with the general of Wei and was reused by King Wei." At present, the army of Zhao State has surrounded Daliang, and Weichen guessed that this person should have moved the rescuers. ”

"Huh?" After listening to Tian Ji's words, King Qi Wei thought for a while, and then waved his hand at the eunuch: "Ask him to come in." ”

"Hustle, Wei envoy Chen Zhen is here."

As the voice slowly dissipated, Chen Zhen walked into the main hall alone, and the front of the main hall bowed to King Qi Wei: "Foreign Minister Chen Zhen, meet King Qi." ”

"Foreign envoys are exempt."

"King Xie Qi."

"I heard that the Zhao and Han coalition armies attacked Wei, and the Zhao army is even closer to Handan, I don't know if your King of Wei is okay now?" With a natural smile in his eyes on his kind face, King Qi Wei asked softly.

"If you return to the king of Qi, everything will be fine with my king." Chen Zhen arched his hand again and replied softly.

"Yes, that's fine." Nodding his head gently, King Qi Wei asked slowly: "In this case, the Wei State is in danger again, why are you not serving your King Wei in the Wei Kingdom, and you are running to the widowed Qi Kingdom?" ”

"King Qi, the foreign ministers are here to invite the King of Qi to send troops on the order of my king to help my Wei country survive this difficulty." Saying that, Chen Zhen had already taken out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said loudly: "This is a secret letter prepared by my prince, and I specially order the foreign ministers to dedicate it to the king of Qi." Zhao took advantage of the emptiness of my Wei State to send troops to attack me, and wanted to swallow my Wei State in one fell swoop, this is an unkind and unrighteous move, in order to lose the righteousness of the world, although my Wei State is empty in the country this year, but my king is determined to fight with Zhao State endlessly, and swear to defend the righteousness of the world. The king of Qi is the king of justice, and everyone in the world can see it, so my king is especially light on the king of Qi to send troops to help him. ”

Just as Chen Zhen finished speaking, King Qi Wei had already read the secret letter sent by King Wei.

Slowly putting the secret letter on the cases of the previous year, King Qi Wei's gaze swept to Chen Zhen again.

But before King Qi Wei could say anything, Zou Ji on the side had already looked Chen Zhen up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "What a King of Wei is for the sake of the righteousness of the world, I don't know where the so-called righteousness came out when your King of Wei sent troops to attack Han!" ”

Zou Ji and Chen Zhen are definitely meeting for the first time, but this is the first time they have met, and Zou Ji's words are already full of unpleasantness.

Obviously, he was reminding King Qi Wei from the standpoint of recuperating the people that he should not arbitrarily raise the army and mobilize the people, and hurt the people with money and money.

Tian Ji on the other side also glanced at Chen Zhen lightly, and said with a cold face: "That's it, putting aside the matter of your King Wei's righteousness, why does my Qi country have to work hard and hurt the people, and spend financial resources and manpower for your Wei country?!" ”

This is one of the few times that the two have a common point of view in the court. But King Qi Wei, who had heard all this clearly and seen it clearly, knew that people here did not think differently.

Zou Ji didn't want to get into trouble, he didn't want to make trouble for himself, he thought wholeheartedly, as long as he was rich and not bullied, he could live with peace of mind.

But in Tian Ji's words, it was obvious that he was asking for benefits.

But at this time, Chen Zhen, as an envoy, could not reply anything, but bowed his hand to King Qi Wei again, bowed his head and pondered: "King Qi, my king Fa Han listened to the bewitchment of Pang Juan's villain, and now that Pang Juan is dead, this matter has passed." As for whether to uphold righteousness, my king's secret letter should have said that he is with the king of Qi, so I still hope that the king of Qi will act righteously and balance the unrighteous Zhao together. ”

"Well, the secret letter of the King of Wei has been strictly understood." At this moment, King Qi Wei's face was already slightly contemplative, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Slowly let out a long sigh, King Qi Wei said to Chen Zhen: "This matter needs to be discussed with all Aiqing before making a decision, so please ask the foreign envoy to rest in the post house for the time being, and wait for tomorrow morning, how about the widow give you an answer?" ”

"The foreign minister is waiting for King Qi's good news."

After a deep bow, Chen Zhen walked out of the main hall under the attention of a group of Qi courtiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have anything to say, tell me."

Seeing Chen Zhen's figure disappear, Zou Ji turned around and bowed his hand slightly to King Qi Wei, with a serious expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Han and Zhao formed an alliance to attack Wei, in fact, it was to take revenge, when the Wei army besieged Han Zhiliang for several months, if it wasn't for my king to send troops to help, I am afraid that Handan is already a Wei person, this time Wei was attacked by Han and Zhao, and the minister thought that this was the King of Wei's own effort, and Zhao only sent 60,000 troops, it can be seen that Zhao is nothing more than an export of evil spirit, and the original intention is not that Chen Zhen said to swallow Wei." Moreover, the Wei State is not really so unbearable at the moment, otherwise, how can the troops defend the Xincheng of South Korea that has just been obtained. Therefore, Weichen thinks that my king must not listen to Chen Zhen's words and confuse right and wrong. ”

"What Aiqing said is not unreasonable," nodded slightly, but after the words fell, King Qi Wei sighed: "Now that the Zhao State has been raised for twelve years, there should be more than 100,000 troops, and this time we will not really swallow the Wei State, otherwise we really can't ignore it." Of course, if Zhao has such strength, not only us, but also Qin, Chu, and even Yan will not sit idly by. This time, King Wei was also to blame. But the reason for King Wei's time is that it is difficult for this king to refuse. At the beginning of the Wei State to attack Zhao, I have sent troops to help, in order to uphold the righteousness of the world, although the King of Wei lost his way first, but in this troubled era how can there be any real justice, but this king does not want to see him Wei State become bigger, the strength of Wei State is recognized as a strong country in the world, relying on the strong to bully the weak, if he really let him get a large piece of land in Zhao State, a few years later, Wei State will not really be proud of the others.

So that time, the widow helped Zhao, and a few months ago, he helped South Korea. But this time, if you don't help Wei State, although Zhao State can't break the beam, but Wei State has already fallen more than ten cities, if these places are obtained by Zhao State, then wouldn't there be one more strong enemy on the edge of my Qi State?! ”

Obviously, in the eyes of King Qi Wei, there is no righteousness, and since the beginning of the three Jin and Warring States periods, the righteousness has long been left out of the clouds by the vassal states, he just doesn't want the Zhao State or any country to be too strong.

At this time, Tian Ji took another step and said: "However, sending troops to help Wei requires labor and wealth to hurt the people, if my king is going to send troops, Weichen thinks that he can put forward conditions to Wei and transfer the control of Wei to my Qi State." This can be regarded as a justifiable solution to my king's heart disease. ”

"Hehe, you want the vassalage of the weak guard?" Listening to Tian Ji's words, King Qi Wei actually laughed, "The widow heard that South Korea sent troops to Wei Yicheng, and Wei asked the weak guards to send troops to help, but then the weak guards did not send troops, do you know why?" ”

"This?" Tian Ji was obviously asked: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

"Zou Xiangguo," King Qi Wei did not answer directly, but turned his gaze to Zou Ji and asked, "Do you know the reason?" ”

"Weichen heard that this matter seems to be related to the Chu people?"

"Yes, no matter how secret the state of Chu is, the ward will not send troops to help the state of Wei. If Duke Wei did not listen, the State of Chu would send troops to defend the country. In fact, whether the Chu State sent troops or not, the current Wei Guo is no longer the meat in his Wei Poppy's mouth. ”

"Then, we can ask Wei for a few cities in return."

Tian Ji, who heard the reason clearly, said eagerly again. But then, it was vetoed by King Qi Wei without thinking about it.

"If so! Why did the King of Wei talk to me about justice? If he wanted to give it, he would directly cede several cities to Zhao Guo, wouldn't this matter be over a long time ago? ”
