In history, the king of Qi, the last monarch of Qi during the Warring States Period, although he buried the great country of Qi in his hands, objectively speaking, it is also the situation of the times. To some extent, it is also a non-war crime. Therefore, even if he is an out-and-out dead country, he is not a mediocre and incompetent king.

As for the current second prince Tian Jian, even if he has not yet ascended the throne and become king, his knowledge and talent are very limited compared with the historical King of Qi. At least he can say one, two, three on the question of "why the Qi State should not participate in the alliance", and he can also say it quite reasonably, which proves that he is a politician and a monarch of the Warring States Period, generally speaking, he is still qualified.

It's a pity. This criterion of eligibility is subject to change as the flow of history progresses. Thinking that King Wu of Zhou invaded merchants and established Zhou, there were 800 princes in the world. Later, the Zhou dynasty moved eastward, and the world began to enter the chūn autumn era when the princes fought against each other. After that, the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han were divided, and the world entered the Warring States Period. After about two hundred years of the law of the jungle, today, there are only seven kingdoms left, including Qin, Chuqi, Zhao, Wei, and Han Yan.

In this fierce and vast historical cháo, even if you just want to be a king, it is a hundred times more difficult than before the Zhou family moved eastward hundreds of years ago. Especially when your opponent is Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Thousand Autumns, if you want to be the king of the guard, you also need heroic talents.

The second prince is obviously not a hero. Even if he had some talents, his eyes could only be limited to the Warring States Period, which was forever stalemate and entangled among the princes, but he could never imagine that there was really someone who could sweep away the other six countries and unify the world. Therefore, the standards of the Warring States Period are basically qualified, and it is actually logical that he will end up in defeat against Qin Shi Huang, who surpassed the times.

But then again, Chen Sheng himself is not from Qi State, and he doesn't even belong to this era at all. Whether the Qi State destroys the country or not has nothing to do with itself. What's more, as the secret envoy of the Black Ice Terrace of the Qin State, the worse the second prince's talent and short-sightedness, the more advantageous he is to carry out the task of assassinating the envoy of the Zhao State. Of course, Chen Sheng would not be kind enough to analyze the various changes in the situation for the second prince after that, and try to persuade him to support Hezong so idle.

Linzi City is formed by two large and small cities surrounded by each other. The big city is the main city, and the common people living in the city are mainly inhabited. The small city is a sub-city, not only with various yamen official offices, but also gathered the mansions of all the ministers and ministers of Qi State. As for the Palace of the King of Qi, it is located in a large area of land to the north of the sub-city. While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the palace. The second prince took the lead in getting out of the carriage, smiled cautiously, and led Chen Sheng towards Huan Gongtai.

Huan Gongtai is a magnificent complex of buildings inside the palace. The builder was the Duke of Qi Huan, the head of the Five Tyrants of the Chūn Autumn Dynasty. Back then, Duke Qi Huan loved to feast guests here and summon the ministers. Therefore, this building is called Huan Gongtai.

The platform itself is very special, and its shape is about the same as that of a pyramid. There are two layers on the top of the platform, the east, west and north triangles are steep, the south side is slightly gentle, and more than 100 stone steps have been built. The roof of the platform is surrounded by a low wall of gray bricks. In the middle of the top of the platform, there is a square platform that is about five feet high, and the table top is paved with patterned square bricks, which is elegant and luxurious.

The whole high platform is about 15 meters high, and when you climb the high platform, you can overlook the wide and flat square between the Huan Gong Platform and the Jinluan Palace. Every New Year or major festival, climb the high platform, review the square of the 10,000 armies cāo performance, when the true ambition is complacent, unexpectedly there will be a "10,000 armies in hand, I have the country" pride and victory. Therefore, even if there is no military parade in normal times, King Qi Xiang still likes to stay here to live.

Hearing that the secret envoy of the Black Ice Terrace of the Qin State had arrived, the King of Qi hurriedly greeted him in person. Chen Sheng raised his eyes and looked intently at this king of a country. I saw that his hair and beard were already snow-white, and his face was full of age spots. It is short and stocky, and the jīng god is not necessarily very strong. It is feared that he will leave at any time and return to the West. It is no wonder that the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting more and more fiercely for the position of prince recently. Because they are dad, there is not much at all.

Originally, foreign envoys met the monarch of Qi and bowed according to the ceremony. But in this life, Chen Sheng only knelt to the sky and knelt down to his parents, and when he first started to apprentice, he knelt down and bowed three times to the Hongmen Patriarch Zhishan Patriarch. In addition, there is no one in the world who can make him willing to kneel down. King Qi is no exception. Therefore, at this moment, Chen Sheng faced King Qi, but he just clenched his fists and said hello lightly, that's all.

Chen Sheng's behavior was originally a great faux pas. However, when King Qi was young, he suffered a change in breaking the country, and after becoming king, he was suppressed by the prime minister Tian Dan, who was too strong to be stronger, for a long time. Over the decades, all the edges and corners in the xìng lattice have been smoothed out. What's more, the king of Qi has always pursued the national policy of "being cautious of Qin", Chen Sheng, as the envoy of Qin, the largest country in the world, and came on behalf of the prince of Qin, even if he was a little rude, King Qi did not care, and immediately arranged a banquet in the Dianjiang Hall under the Huan Gongtai to welcome the secret envoy of Qin.

Of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Qin State was the strongest, followed by the Chu State, and the third was the Qi State. As the king of Qi, his clothes and food naturally have the first-class enjoyment in the world. Even though this banquet was only held on an impromptu basis, and there was not much time to prepare in advance, it was a little hasty, but with the background of the emperor's house, this reception banquet was still properly arranged, and its pomp and circumstance were still terrifying even from Chen Sheng's 21st century vision. What is Zhong Ming Ding Food? What you see in front of you is the living bell ringing dingding.

In the banquet hall, there is a group of bronze chimes that are brilliant in gold, and their presence alone is already imposing. Its appearance is curved ruler-shaped, and the huge bracket of the copper-wood mixed structure is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The nineteen bells on the top layer are the smallest in size and are called "amber bells"; The middle layer of twelve pieces is medium in volume, and it is called "Win Si Clock"; The twenty-three chimes on the lowest floor are the "unveiling bells", which are also the largest.

Each bell body is engraved with an inscription in the wrong gold seal style, and when you hit the front and side sides of each bell, you can play two tones of victory and fall respectively. Its voice is loud and clear, melodious and beautiful. The so-called "three rì around the beam" is definitely not an exaggeration.

In addition, there are other different instruments such as qin, zheng, se, sheng, drum, etc., and there are dozens of musicians in total. This pomp alone, what is the richest man in modern times, what celebrities and the like, there is no way to compare with others.
