Jin Shang moved his lips, and felt embarrassed to speak, so he coped with it indiscriminately: "This, the details of this relationship between men and women, are the secrets of the boudoir that you know and I know, and others are insignificant." I'd better keep it a secret from them. ”

Zhang Yi seemed to vaguely guess the hidden truth, but she was not sure. Seeing that Jin Shang didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any further. Now, Jin Shang has entered the trap, and he is not in a hurry. The so-called long-line fishing for big fish, some things must be stabilized in order to achieve the best results.

Zhang Yi said: "It's really enjoyable to see Steward Jin today and talk to you. Steward Jin is quick to talk, not hiding or hiding, which makes me very happy. You are happy, and I am not afraid. Today I will temporarily offer a gift of 100 gold, and as a little deposit, if the matter is successful, I will double the treasure, in order to quickly Jin Steward's meaning. ”

After Zhang Yi promised Jin Shang a 100-gold gift, he immediately went out and instructed Zheng Cheng and the others who were waiting outside to take out dozens of large strings of bronze coins from the camphor wood box and ask them to move Jin Shang into the house.

Zhang Yi said to Jin Shangyan: "Although this hundred gold is not the coin of the Chu State, it is not difficult for Steward Jin to find a skilled craftsman, melt it, and then cast it into the money of the Chu State to spend." Our 100 gold is a lot of money, and it's not bad at all. ”

Jin Shang stepped forward, took a string of money, weighed it, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the 'baht money' and 'half tael' of the Qin State are really in line with the balance, and I don't think Prime Minister Zhang will deceive me." As for the copper coins of the Chu State and the other princes in the East, they may not be so name-like. This is also the reason why the coins of the Qin State can be passed in the world. ”

He then nodded at Zhang Yi and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Zhang, this money can also be used in private transactions in the Chu State." Because everyone takes their pounds and pounds exactly the same, it is equivalent to trading in cash. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, because since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the country's weights and measures system has been uniform, and the influence of its coins has been far more than limited to the Qin State itself. The strength of the Qin State lies not only in its powerlessness, but also in its abundant wealth and national strength.

Jin Shang said to Zhang Yi again: "With this money, I am enough to see Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's sincerity. As for how many treasures you will give to Zheng Sleeve in the future, I don't care, I'm afraid that you will still have to spend some in the future. As for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's proposal to meet Zheng Sleeve, I can arrange it as much as I can. ”

He said confidently: "With my relationship with Zheng Sleeve, as long as Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is willing, I can arrange a meeting this afternoon, and it just so happens that during this time, the prince Mi Huai stayed in the palace all day, and he didn't care about returning to the prince's mansion for a long time, so it was a good time to meet." ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, don't worry." I have to rush back to do some other things, so I won't bother Steward Jin. If there are no accidents, I think I'll meet Zheng Sleeve again tomorrow night. What do you think? ”

Jin Shang agreed and replied: "As long as the crown prince Mihuai does not return to the house, there will be no problems tomorrow night." You better come to my house, it's more convenient and safe to meet Miss Zheng Sleeve here. I will try to say as much as possible for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng beforehand. ”

Zhang Yi thanked him: "Then there is Steward Lao Jin, once I successfully meet Zheng Sleeve tomorrow, I will definitely give a second gift." Of course, you can also make it clear to Miss Zheng Sleeve in advance, that the treasures I have prepared for her here are no less than anyone else's. ”

Zhang Yi said, got off the table, and said goodbye to Jin Shang. Jin Shang learned that he had other things to do, and he didn't keep it much. After Zhang Yi returned to the upper house, she hurriedly ate lunch and immediately began to prepare for the evening banquet.

The banquet was scheduled to be held at the end of the day, and as it approached dusk, several of the invited ministers of the Chu State began to arrive at the upper house one after another. Zhang Yi went out to greet him, very enthusiastic. Especially for Ling Yin Zhaoyang and Prince Mi Huai, Zhang Yi was even more smiling, as if she had never had an unhappy past with them before.

Zhaoyang and Mi Huai also don't want to mention the past, now Zhang Yi is the prime minister of Qin, holding heavy power, if this person is not angry, start a war against Chu, I am afraid that Chu will not be peaceful. For example, today, who doesn't know the strength of the Qin army!

Therefore, not only out of happiness with Zhang Yiyan, but also out of interaction with Qin State, Zhaoyang and Mi Huai both seemed very happy, and they didn't see anything unusual at all. Everyone has never forgotten the conflicts of the past, but no one mentioned them, which can be regarded as a kind of "tacit understanding".

There were only four powerful ministers of the Chu State who were invited by Zhang Yi, including Zhaoyang, Mi Huai, Qu Mu and Jingchi. Zhang Yi had given gifts to Zhaoyang, Mi Huai and Jingchi beforehand, but Qu Mu did not give him at all, just because he was really unwilling to make excessive friends with such a bad person.

In addition, Qu Mu is a person who falls on both sides of the wall, and whoever has great power will lean on whomever he goes. If he can convince Mi Huai, Qu Mu will naturally be fine.

Zhang Yi also hesitated for a long time on whether to invite Qu Mu to the banquet. Later, he finally made up his mind to invite this former great enemy to come, because this had a great advantage, that is, it could better show that his hatred for the Chu State had long since disappeared.

Since the most hated people can be forgiven, then compared to Qu Mu, Zhaoyang and others, who seem a little innocent, don't they enjoy Zhang Yi's dinner more at ease? This is a gesture, a signal, to endure the anger of the moment, to do it, and the benefits will be greatly revealed.

Before Qu Mu went to the banquet, he had already asked the prince Mi Huai about Zhang Yi's current status as the prime minister of Qin. When he learned that the prime minister of Qin was actually Zhang Yi, of course he felt a moment of horror and was quite uneasy in his heart. But when he learned that Zhang Yi invited the crown prince Mihuai and Ling Yin Zhaoyang to the banquet, Qu Mu was a little relieved.

When the prime minister of Qin sent someone to send him an invitation, Qu Mu was so happy that he almost jumped up. He was not moved by Zhang Yi's generosity, but saw Zhang Yi's maturity and reason, Qu Mu knew that as the prime minister of Qin, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of governing a country, how could he spoil the relationship between major countries because of his personal feelings.

Qu Mu came to the banquet today, with a little intention of making amends, thinking that after he saw Zhang Yi, he would say more good things, so that Zhang Yi would be relieved, and maybe the unhappiness between the two would be eliminated.

Therefore, when Zhang Yi saw Qu Mu coming, without waiting for Zhang Yi to take the initiative to say hello, Qu Mu took a few steps in a hurry, took the initiative to stretch out his hands, bowed to Zhang Yi and hugged his fists to greet him. When Zhang Yi saw Qu Mu's face, a very uncomfortable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, almost a sense of vomiting, and he forced himself to squeeze out a smile.

Zhang Yi returned the salute with her hand, and wanted to say, "Doctor Qu is okay?" But when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say anything, just "um" and "ah". When he saw Qu Mu, he felt even more hatred that he had always buried deep in his heart. The summer banquet, the performances of Qu Mu and the crown prince Mihuai, and the name of Yin Zhaoyang are fair, which is really vicious in eating people without spitting out bones.

Those powerful people who torture and frame others always think that others will easily forgive them, and they have not personally experienced the sadness and pain of the humiliated, however, for the insulted person, these memories are unforgettable, and they can not be easily forgotten. Just like Wu Zixu, the famous husband of the former grave-digging whip of the Chu State.

Zhang Yi deeply felt the feeling in Wu Xu's heart at this time, it was a kind of hatred that was difficult to resolve, and only by burning the flame of anger to the person who had ruthlessly bullied him, this hatred could be calmed down a little. and Zheng Sleeve, who is about to lure him to meet tomorrow, without the accomplices of this coquettish woman, Zhang Yi would not have been charged with the **** prince's favorite concubine.

Zhang Yi couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, he saw that Qi Huai, Zhaoyang, Qu Mu and others had entered the hall, but he himself felt a sense of discomfort and deliberately fell behind. He took a few deep breaths and stroked his chest with his right hand to steady his mind.

Zhang Yi entered the hall, and then greeted Mi Huai, Zhaoyang and others, saying welcome words such as Peng Sheng and Sansheng Lucky. He sat down in the host's seat reserved for him, and then clapped his hands, and then saw about twenty servants serving the dinner, lined up, serving bear's paws, mackerel, and other delicacies, and pouring clear wine.

Then, according to the usual practice, Zhang Yi first raised a glass to celebrate the birthday of Mihuai and Zhaoyang, and after the ceremony, he then made a speech to show his sincerity in drinking and persuaded everyone to drink a cup together.

At this time, Zheng Cheng, the captain of the Qin State, led a team of Kabuki, a total of more than a dozen men and women, they took advantage of the open space in the lobby to form a temporary stage, blowing, playing and singing, in the center of the semicircle there were two girls with good figures, willow waists, stretched out their long sleeves, threw off the long skirts that dragged the ground, and danced lightly.

Mi Huai has been stuffy in the palace for a long time, and he has been extremely bored when he sees his father's lifeless sick body all day long, but his father can't swallow the breath of the queen, and he is also under the advice of Qu Mu and others, he is dead in the palace, not daring to have the slightest relaxation, lest other princes take advantage of the situation and change the ready-made situation of succession to the throne.

He saw the dancers swaying and heard the moving silk bamboo singing, and his heart inevitably wavered. Qi Huai's eyes looked straight at the waist and face of the girl dancer, and the wine glass in his hand was actually tilted sideways, and the wine flowed onto his robe.

Zhang Yi saw this appearance of Mi Huai, he smiled secretly in his heart, he raised a few glasses of wine, and said to Mi Huai, who was sitting on his left: "Our Qin State sincerely wishes to marry Chu State, this time I specially brought Qin Jun's sister, Princess Yinghan, I hope she can fall in love with the prince and be accepted as the prince's wife." ”
