Xinzheng, the envoy of the Qin State was stationed outside the post house. An inconspicuous vendor shouted, "Buns, buns, freshly baked buns!" No fresh, no money! It's not delicious, don't pay for it! ”

"Hey, how do you sell this bun?" A passer-by seemed attracted by the scent and stopped and asked.

"Two buns for one big buck! No bullying! Guest, you will know if you try it! "The vendors are enthusiastically selling their buns.

While picking up the buns, the passer-by lowered his voice and said, "How is the situation inside?" ”

The vendor also bent down and quickly replied, "One qiē is normal!" ”

"Come on! Get me ten buns. The voices of passers-by suddenly increased.

"Okay! Ten buns, a total of five big bucks! Walk slowly! The stall owner carefully put the large amount of money he received into his pocket and continued to sell it.

In the post house diagonally opposite, Qin Guozong was slowly sipping Xinzheng's tea. A young general in his twenties stood beside him, and not far from his feet was a kneeling "commoner" with a bowed head.

"That's why you failed?" Yingsi put down the teacup and said casually.

The "common people" looked stunned, the person in front of him was a noble who was deeply trusted by the King of Qin, otherwise the king would not have put all the manpower of Hei Bingtai in Korea for his disposal. Thinking of this, the "common people" buried their heads even lower, and said calmly: "The subordinates are incompetent!" I didn't expect Han Xin and them to leak the news! ”

"Don't use the word incompetent, if you are really incompetent, what does the king want you to do? If it's useless, why not die! ”

"Subordinate...... The subordinates have lost their words! ”

"Well, the official is too lazy to bother with you about the past! Have you done what the official gave you? Yingsi picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

"It's all checked! In the past few days, Tian Dan of Qi has visited the post house where the envoys of Zhao and Wei are stationed! Yesterday, he visited South Korea's Prime Minister Zhang Ping, Imperial Historian Zhang Lu, and Taiwei Storm Kite's mansion one after another, and presented no less than 10,000 taels of gold. ”

Yingsi frowned. "Oh?" he asked. They all took it? ”

"It's all received!"

Yingsi nodded, signaling that she understood. "Stand down! Keep an eye on me these days! ”

"Whoa!"

When the "common people" retreated, Yingsi pondered for a moment and said to the young general beside him, "Go!" Let's go to the Qi State Mission! ”

On the other side of Xinzheng, the post house where the Qi delegation was stationed. Prime Minister Tian Dan is trying to figure out the attitudes of various countries. In the past few days, he has successively met Lin Xiangru of Zhao State, Xinlingjun of Wei State, Ju Xin of Yan State, Zhang Ping, "Zhang Lu" and Storm Kite of South Korea. After a series of conversations, a lot of gifts were given, but there were few gains.

Zhao Guo's attitude is very ambiguous, Lin Xiangru said that now Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, is in power and is deeply favored by King Zhao. If Qi wants to form an alliance with Zhao, he should lobby Zhao Sheng first. As for his own attitude. As long as Qi does not use swords and soldiers, Lin Xiangru supports the alliance 100%. Everyone in the world knows that although Zhao Sheng is called a prime minister, King Zhao really favors Lin Xiangru, and his opinion can even influence King Zhao's decision. As for the reckless use of sword soldiers, Lin Xiangru implicitly hoped that Qi would neither go north nor south. In this way, wouldn't the Qi State be unable to expand its territory and only seize the enclave of the Qin State?

It is not surprising that Wei and South Korea expressed that Zhao's opinion was the main one. As for the Yan State, he was willing to reconcile with the Qi State temporarily. In two or three years, there will be no swords and soldiers, and the peace will be maintained. As for later. We'll talk about it later. The state of Chu is his mortal enemy, and to go to see him is to lose the upper hand. The Qin envoy didn't need to pay a visit, in case Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan thought that they wanted to form an alliance with Qin, the alliance that had been hoped for would be completely in vain.

"Prime Minister, Yingsi, the representative of the Qin State's mission, is asking to see you outside!" Just as Tian Dan was worried about how to speed up the alliance, an attendant hurriedly came in. The news was reported.

"Yingsi? What is he doing here? Tian Dan thought in wonder, looked at the sky outside, Tian Dan said: "Let's just say that I am unwell and have rested!" ”

"Whoa!" The squire turned and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Tian Dan suddenly stopped the attendant and said in his heart. It's okay to meet Yingsi! Anyway, it won't take long for the news of Yingsi coming to find him to spread all over Xinzheng. If you don't close the door, you will look stingy, and you will be weak-hearted, so let's see you!

"Go and bring in the guests! I'm waiting in the study! ”

"Whoa!" Although the attendant didn't know why Tian Dan suddenly changed his mind, he still respectfully answered again and turned to go out.

After a while, Yingsi's hearty laughter sounded in the study. "An Pingjun, I've admired you for a long time! Finally get a glimpse of it today! It's not easy! It's not easy! ”

Tian Dan ignored the other meaning of Yingsi's words, smiled apologetically, and said: "Lord Zongzheng came from afar, and Shan should have greeted him in person, but he occasionally felt cold last night, and his body was weak. I'm really sorry for the integrity. ”

Yingsi waved his hand generously and asked with concern, "How is An Pingjun doing now?" Si Zi Xianyang brought a few doctors, and the medical skills were still good. Why don't I send someone to invite them to consult An Pingjun? ”

"Xie Zongzheng's good intentions! Just take a break, don't worry! Tian Dan said with a smile. The implication is that if Yingsi doesn't have anything important, there is no need to bother himself.

Yingsi laughed and said, "I'll just say it!" An Pingjun and I were both born in the army, and we are in good health! Tomorrow is the wedding of King Han, and An Pingjun has to recuperate. When the time comes, without An Pingjun, this ceremony will lose a lot of color. ”

Tian Dan just smiled and nodded.

Ying Si secretly scolded the old fox, but the smile on his face was even brighter, and he said: "An Pingjun, I, Qin and Qi, are on the east and west sides, which should be a godsend!" But now that the four countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan have formed an alliance, it is difficult for our two countries to move an inch whether they are going north or to the Central Plains. For the sake of today's plan, if you want to expand your territory and resist the alliance of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan, only the united side has a glimmer of life. Does An Pingjun think so? ”

Tian Dan finally understood the other party's intention, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "If it is peaceful today, where is the dispute?" Moreover, our Qi country has never had the expectation of expanding its territory to the north and west. For Qi Guo, it is very satisfying to be able to keep the ancestral inheritance. ”

Ying Si smiled disdainfully and asked rhetorically: "If the King of Qi wants to keep the foundation of his ancestors, why should he send troops to the country of Lu and invade the land of Huaisi?" Besides, now that the world is peaceful, it won't be long before the war resumes. At that time, Qi will not have any allies, isn't it pitiful? ”

Although Yingsi exposed his "lie", Tian Dan said without impatience: "The State of Lu was disrespectful when the first king ate Lu, and the State of Chu was the culprit who killed the first king!" Shouldn't these two countries be crusaded against? ”

Regarding Tian Dan's reason, Ying Si was stunned, but on the surface, he said solemnly: "The Chu State is not convinced by the king, and I, the Qin State, are also very annoyed. Since your country intends to take revenge, why don't you ally with my Qin State and fight Chu together? After all, the country of Chu is vast and rich, and with the strength of your country alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to destroy Chu! ”

The hesitation on Tian Dan's face flashed, Ying Si knew very well that the other party was obviously tempted, but he was afraid of annoying Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan. So Ying Si took the opportunity to say: "If Si is not mistaken, the great enmity between your country and Yan is even greater than that of Chu!" Could it be that your country is only willing to conquer the Chu State, so you dare not crusade against the Yan State? An Pingjun thought that on the basis of the marriage and alliance between Yan and Zhao, would Qi be able to join it? Or, if you join, does Qi still have a chance for revenge? ”

Tian Dan suddenly smiled and said, "When will this feud be eliminated?" Today you will fight me, tomorrow I will attack you. For a day, the country will not be destroyed, and the war will not cease for a day. Lord Zongzheng, when did my Qi Kingdom say that it was going to die in its ancestral temple? The capture of Huaisi is just a demonstration of our determination to take revenge! As for whether to take revenge on Yan Guo, there is a ruling from the king! I'm just a courtier, and I can't control the situation! ”

Seeing that Tian Dan politely rejected himself, Yingsi was not disappointed. He just smiled slightly and said: "There is Yan in the north and Chu in the south, and these two countries are the great enemies of Qi. Si only hopes that the Qi State must not annoy Zhao and Wei, otherwise, it will be very dangerous! Of course, if your country wants to strike first and eliminate the threat from the south, you can contact our Qin State at any time. It's not early, and Siquan has retired! ”

Tian Dan, who was full of worries, immediately got up and said politely: "In this way, I will not send it far!" ”

Yingsi left, although he failed to win over Qi all at once, but Yingsi's goal was achieved. Today, Yingsi planted an idea in Tian Dan's heart, and when the right opportunity arises, this idea will grow bigger and bigger, until the Qi State agrees to form an alliance with the Qin State!

Early the next morning, the huge Xinzheng began to be noisy. After going through Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, and invitations, and yesterday following Taichang to worship the heavens, earth, and temples, Han Wangran finally ushered in the big wedding ceremony.

On this day, the entire palace was lit up and the floor was covered with a red carpet. In the Zhaoren Palace, the festival case, the book case, and the treasure case have been furnished, and outside the hall is the king's drive and dependence. Surrounded by ministers and chamberlains, Han Wangran first went to the Kunning Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, to salute, and then turned back to the Zhaoren Hall to read the books and treasures, and ascended to the throne. Later, he sent a mighty welcoming team with Prime Minister Zhang Ping as the main envoy and Zongzheng Han Ze as the deputy envoy to Shanglin Yuan, where the Yan State Mission was stationed.

Shanglin Yuan is dozens of miles in radius, and only such a large place can barely accommodate the Yan Kingdom delegation of no less than three thousand people. The road from the palace to Shanglinyuan was already crowded with tens of thousands of Xinzheng people. They followed the vast procession from afar, wanting to catch a glimpse of the queen. Brilliant red is the only theme color of Xinzheng today, and the people are laughing, as if they are doing a marriage at home.

At the moment, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage. With Ji Miao and Han Wangran toasting three glasses of wine together, the chamberlain will announce the will of the canonization queen to the world, and the ceremony is completed, and Ji Miao, the princess of Yan Kingdom, officially becomes the queen of Korea! Han Wangran announced an amnesty for the world, and the whole country celebrated for three days! (To be continued......)
