Thirty years ago, the state of Qi was too strong and aroused the jealousy of the princes. So with Yan as the leader, the five countries sent troops to attack Qi. The coalition army was fierce, and even more than 70 cities were lost, and even the national capital Linzi was lost. At that time, Tian Dan was just a small official in Linzi. In the midst of the chaos, he led his people to flee east and took refuge in Jimo.

Due to fate, Tian Dan became a conscript general and presided over the defense of the city. He persevered for five whole years, and he always had to keep the city intact. Zuihou seized the opportunity to set up a fire bull formation, defeated the Yan army and restored the Qi country. Tian Dan found the son of the former monarch Qi Xiang and helped the crown prince ascend the throne, which is the current monarch Qi Xiang Wang. With such great achievements, Tian Dan was named Anping Jun, and served as the prime minister of Qi until today.

At this moment, in the palace of King Qi, Chen Sheng put his hands behind his back and looked intently at this legendary figure who has been praised through the ages in Chinese history. I saw that the person in front of me was about fifty or sixty years old. The body is thin, the bridge of the nose is high, and it has a beak like an eagle. However, because the cheekbones on both sides of the raised are well coordinated, not only does it not have the feeling of being alone, but it also gives people a plump and compelling momentum. Coupled with the sharp eyes that are hidden under the thick eyebrows, it is impressive at first sight. The more Chen Sheng looked, the more he felt that under the fame, there was indeed no vain.

On the contrary, Tian Sheng, the great prince of Qi next to Tian Dan, has almost no sense of existence at all. It seems that because of his long-term indulgence in alcohol, he is pale and depressed. Although he is in his prime, at first glance, he seems to be more listless than his father, King Qi Xiang. Tian Dan actually supported this leprosy ghost-like prince to take over the throne, which really makes people doubt his motives.

Chen Sheng was looking at Tian Dan, and Tian Dan was also looking at Chen Sheng. He snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze on Chen Sheng, and said to King Qi in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty, yesterday the dog Tian Bangyan said that he was walking in the downtown area and suddenly encountered a bandit attack. Not only were all the accompanying samurai killed, but even Bian Dongshan was killed by the murderers. I heard that this murderer was later taken away by the second prince and was able to get away with it. Minister, may I ask, does the king know about this? ”

The second prince and Tian Dan had a deep grudge, so they were not polite, and said loudly: "Prime Minister, don't reverse black and white and talk nonsense. At that time, there were thousands of people in the downtown area who was right and who was wrong. Xiao Wang took away not a murderer, but a righteous man! ”

Tian Dan said lightly: "It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter, it is only my internal affairs of Daqi, and I can not mention it for the time being." The old minister entered the palace today, but he didn't want to be held responsible. You must know that Bian Dongshan is a disciple of the Sword Saint, a rare supreme swordsman in the world. That murderer can actually kill Bian Dongshan, how can such a powerful person be unknown? And in the territory of my Great Qi Country, how can there be such a person? Therefore, the old minister suspected that this person was a spy sent by the Qin State! Let the king see it. ”

Tian Dan spoke, hitting the nail on the head, pointing to the key point. The second prince and the king of Qi were shocked at the same time. The second prince forcibly calmed down, softened his tone and reluctantly smiled: "What kind of spy is there?" The prime minister is also too suspicious. Yesterday in the downtown area, Xiao Wang had already made it clear. This Chen Sheng Yishi is the commander of the imperial guards who desperately protected our family and escaped from Linzi, and the descendant of Uncle Tian Guang. There is a jade pendant left behind in that year as evidence, and it cannot be faked. ”

Tian Dan sneered: "What Tian Guang? Why didn't Lao Chen remember this person? Besides, even if the jade pendant is real, it is difficult to guarantee that the person is also real. In today's world, what can't be faked? Your Majesty, it is an extraordinary period now, and the dragons and snakes in Linzi City are mixed and chaotic. As the prime minister of the Great Qi, the old minister has the responsibility to maintain order in the city and severely punish lawlessness. Please order the king to take down the cunning thief who was swindling and deceitful, and then put him into the prison for torture, and the evidence of this person's being a spy will definitely be tried. ”

Tian Dan was aggressive, the second prince was intimidated by his accumulation, and there was a ghost in his heart who couldn't be justified, so he couldn't speak for a while. Chen Sheng folded his hands behind his back and proudly watched this farce. The so-called drunkard does not mean to drink, Tian Dan pointed the finger at Chen Sheng on the surface, but the actual purpose was only to force King Qi to take a stand.

If the king of Qi openly expressed his opposition to the alliance, then the two countries of Qi and Qin were neither at war nor hostile, so even if Chen Sheng publicly stated that he was the envoy of Qin, what would it matter? But if the King of Qi turns to support Hezong, then Tian Dan has achieved his goal, and where Chen Sheng, the so-called spy, goes, this Minister of Qi will never care.

King Qi's personality is biased towards weakness. Even if he was obviously inclined to form an alliance with the Qin State in his heart and take a coximous strategy, he was unwilling to openly tear his face with Tian Dan. He coughed twice and said, "Chen Sheng is the descendant of Tian Guang, the commander of the imperial guards around the widow back then. There is no doubt that this matter is certain, and the widow can personally guarantee it, and the prime minister does not need to doubt it anymore. As for yesterday's uproar, it was just a misunderstanding. The prime minister is looking at the widow's face, don't pursue it anymore. ”

As soon as King Qi opened his mouth, he took all the responsibilities, and Tian Dan was not good at persecuting too much. Although Bian Dongshan's death made him very heartbroken, but people can't be resurrected after death, Tian Dan is an absolute pragmatist, and he won't publicly turn his face for a dead person and King Qi.

He sighed secretly and arched his hand: "Since the king said that he was a misunderstanding, then for the time being, he should be misunderstood." But the king, there are a lot of spies in the Qin State in the city now, and it is always necessary to guard against it. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, the matter of forming an alliance with the Zhao State Entente to resist Qin cannot be delayed any longer. Let the king make a decision as soon as possible. ”

King Qi Xiang looked very unhappy, frowned and said: "The matter of indulgence, the widow has thought about it carefully. Since the Zhao people have been the Plains King, their talents have withered, and they are no longer as prosperous as when they were King Zhao Wuling. If there are no outstanding talents, even if they cooperate with the four countries of Wei, Han, Chuwei and Wei, it will be difficult to become a climate after all. If I get entangled with it, there will definitely be a hundred harms and no benefits. Therefore, it is not feasible. ”

Tian Dan shook his head and retorted: "The king's words are wrong, and this is not right. When it comes to talents, Zhao Guo has always produced talents. Although it is not in stock for a while, as long as it eases its breath, it will be able to break through the Hangu Pass and go straight to Xianyang. So if we can join, it will definitely be very beneficial. Please enlighten the king. ”

The eldest prince next to him interjected: "Father, the prime minister is right." Since the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao has always been a great power in the world. Not to mention from afar, in recent decades, Lian Po, Li Mu, Lecheng, etc. can all be called famous generals in the world. And the Pang Xuan in front of him has also successfully lobbied the four countries to join the alliance, how can it be said that there is no one? ”

The second prince joined the battle group, shook his head and said, "Brother Wang is wrong. Li Mu was stationed in northern Xinjiang for a long time to deal with the Xiongnu, and it was difficult to separate. Lian Po and Le Cheng have both left Zhao again. In the past, the Zhao State had two wealthy people, Guo Zong and Wu Shi Lu, but now Wu Shi Lu has been forced to death by King Zhao, and the Wu family followed Xiang Shaolong to the west into the Qin State. Guo Zong went to the state of Chu. It can be seen that even Zhao Guo himself knew that the building was about to collapse, so they all found their own ways to jump out of the shipwreck. Knowing that it was a ship that was about to sink, he still had to step on it again? Isn't that too unwise? ”
