The days gradually returned to the past, and on this day, Yuwen You entered the palace to meet Emperor Qi to discuss the alliance between the two countries.

"Yuwenyou greets the emperor."

Yuwen You took a robe and knelt down on one knee, today's Yu Wenyou was pretending to meet Emperor Qi, and in the eyes of outsiders, he naturally felt that he was so serious.

"Let's be flat."

Emperor Qi's generosity made the atmosphere less serious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuwen Yougong Boxing.

Yu Wenyou and Emperor Qi discussed cooperation, but Emperor Qi did not clearly state his intentions.

The next day, above the court, Emperor Qi asked the ministers.

"Zhao Qi has formed an alliance, what do Zhong Aiqing think?"

At this time, Xiao Quan, the right minister of Qi State, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is more secure to protect his life, and now Wei and Lu are stationing troops on the border of Zhao State, and the two countries may not know when to start a war, and the Zhao State in the middle will definitely be affected by those two countries, if there is really a war, the entire Zhao State will also be in turmoil, and millions of people will become refugees wandering around. Zhao Guo came to form an alliance this time, and in the opinion of the ministers, he wanted to borrow our hands to protect their interests. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Qi stroked his beard and thought for a while, then pointed at Zhong Qin.

"Liu Qi, you have been by King Yong's side for the longest time, according to your understanding, what do you think?"

Zhong Qin stepped forward generously.

"The minister thinks that there should be an alliance."

Emperor Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Why? ”

"The minister thinks that although Zhao will be involved in the war of Weilu, but Zhao is located in the south of the Yangtze River, many goods are not available here, and the whole country is extremely rich, if we agree to this alliance, and let them buy their goods to our country every year, and apply tariffs on these goods, and benefit from it?"

Qi Huang nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Seeing Emperor Qi's reaction like this, Xiao Quan's face changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, by all means, Liu Qi is a businessman, he only knows how to earn those things outside his body, and he doesn't know how to deal with state affairs."

As soon as Emperor Qi heard this, coupled with the fact that Zhong Qin was still very young, he felt that she had no experience in governing state affairs. I felt that what Xiao Quan said was a little right.

At this time, Zhong Qin stepped forward again.

"Prime minister, don't underestimate these things outside your body, these things are as small as the clothes you wear, the meals you eat on weekdays, all kinds of official taxes, weapons used by soldiers, and so on, which are used to govern the country."

Xiao Quan was choked by Zhong Qin at this time, and he couldn't speak for a long time, his face was suffocated.

Emperor Qi nodded again after hearing this.

"Lord Liu, what if Zhao Guo asks for help? What should we do if our soldiers go to make protective shields for Zhao Guo and are killed or wounded? ”

Zhong Qin chuckled.

"Simple. Of course, there is a way to get the best of both worlds without spending a single soldier and not letting Zhao suffer from war. ”

Zhong Qin's trickery aroused the interest of Emperor Qi, and Emperor Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is a good way for Lord Liu, tell me about it."

"Back to the emperor, we only need to add an article to the alliance covenant, as long as the territory of our alliance is disturbed by the war, we will immediately send troops to help. The power of our Qi country is also known to be immeasurable, and no matter how reckless he and Lu are, they will not add two more enemies to themselves. At that time, the two countries will really go to war, and we only need to send some shrimp soldiers and crab generals to station around the territory of Zhao State and demonstrate it. ”

Emperor Qi nodded with satisfaction.

Xiao Quan was angry, Emperor Qi had always agreed with the words of a small servant of the Ministry of Rites who was so much younger than himself, but he did not agree with himself, and his official authority in the court would definitely be reduced a lot in the future, so he stepped forward again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's still impossible."

He glanced at some officials who were usually close to him, and several officials stepped forward together to agree with Xiao Quan's opinion.

Zhong Qin frowned slightly, and at this time Qi Xi took another step forward.

"Father, the son thinks that what Lord Liu said is very reasonable, if we form an alliance with Zhao State, we can indeed gain a lot of benefits from it."

After speaking, many officials followed suit and agreed with Zhong Qin.

Emperor Qi twisted his eyebrows, many people agreed with Xiao Quan and many people agreed with Zhong Qin's opinion, and looked at Qi Yan again.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Zhong Qin was a little flustered, after all, he politely rejected Qi Yan a few days ago, and Qi Yan's face didn't look good at that time, and he felt that Qi Yan would not be biased towards his own opinion.

"Father, the sons think that what Lord Liu said is reasonable, and Zhao Guo should not refuse what Lord Liu just said about tariffs and covenants, after all, it is also beneficial to them."

Zhong Qin never expected Qi Yan to help him speak, but he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Okay, then do what the Ministry of Rites waiter Lord Liu said, do the other ministers still have something to discuss?"

After Emperor Qi finished speaking, no one squeaked for a long time.

"Then that's it for today, retreat."

The people retreated and walked out of the temple.

At this time, several unknown officials came over to taunt Xiao Quan, the right minister.

"Lord Youxiang really ate up the deflated willow chime today, not only did her daughter fail to wronged others, but she was also bullied by this hairy boy."

Xiao Quan glared at them angrily.

A few people were too frightened to speak, and hurriedly left.

Hum! Why would the emperor agree with Liu Qi, he is just a hairy boy, and there is also the fact that Nian'er was bullied by him before, the old man must want him to look good!

Xiao Quan returned home with a blue face.

On the other side, Zhong Qin naturally wanted to thank Qi Yan after receiving Qi Yan's help at the same time.

"Thank you two highnesses for your help today."

Zhong Qin bowed his fist respectfully and thanked the two of them.

"You're welcome, Lord Liu, your method today is really good."

Qi Xi squinted and replied, the corners of Zhong Qin's mouth rose slightly.

"Where is it, it still can't compare to the contribution of the two highnesses to the Qi country."

Who knew that Qi Yan said to Zhong Qin in a strange manner: "Lord Liu is really polite, we just expressed our opinions today, and we may have to trouble Lord Liu some trivial things in the future."

Zhong Qin couldn't tell whether Qi Yan meant good or bad, so he just smiled and nodded in response.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

After that, Zhong Qin left, and Qi Yan glanced at Zhong Qin strangely when he left.

Emperor Qi also formed an alliance with Qi as stated in the court, and Yu Wenyou remained in Qi as an envoy.

The next day, Zhong Qin was called by Yu Wenyou again.

"I really thanked Lord Liu yesterday."

Zhong Qin replied expressionlessly.

"Where, I'm just telling the truth."

"Huh." Yu Wenyou was amused by Zhong Qin's serious appearance again.

"Lord Liu, I remember that the emperor asked you to decide whether I stay in Qi Country or not, right? Or can't you bear me? ”

Yuwen You smiled evilly.

"I, I'm afraid that I will send another person I don't know, and I won't be able to entertain him, which will provoke and provoke bad relations between the two countries."
