Two days later, Hengzi determined the phase authority and control book, in the early dynasty, Hengzi walked into the court, came to the center of the dragon platform and said: "The phase control book drafted by the minister has been completed, please look at it." ”

"Okay, I'll hand it over. King Qi signaled to the chamberlain on the right, and the chamberlain got off the dragon platform, took the silk book from Hengzi's hand, slowly walked back to King Qi's side, and handed the silk book to King Qi.

After King Qi looked at it, he smiled happily: "When the widow saw Heng Keqing's phase control book, Mao Sai suddenly opened, and the widow no longer had any other concerns. ”

"If the king has no other ideas, please immediately issue an order to send Meng Weijun into the palace to dispel his idea of going to Qin. ”

"Okay, the widow will make an order. Come on, spread the widow's will, and ask Meng Weijun to enter the palace quickly. ”

"Honorable. A chamberlain walked into the main hall and said.

As soon as the chamberlain arrived, another chamberlain hurriedly came in from outside the hall and said, "King, the envoy of the Qin State asks to see you." ”

King Qi was stunned when he heard this, the Qin envoy arrived so soon, could it be that he came for Meng Weijun, but fortunately, the widow took the first step. But he thought again, no, Meng Weijun is not a court official now, if Qin Guoru invites him to Qin Weixiang, he doesn't have to come to the court, but he can go directly to where Meng Weijun is, why come to my Qi Palace? No matter what, let him in first, and listen to what Qin envoy says.

"Oh, here is the Qin envoy, then let him in. ”

"The king has summoned the Qin envoy!" the chamberlain said in a loud voice.

Qin envoy was dressed in black and dark red clothes and slowly walked into the court.

"The envoy of the State of Qin, Xing Qi Ji, visited the King of Qi. Yukigi arched his hand.

"The Qin envoy came to the Qi country thousands of miles away, what is the matter?" said the king of Qi as he squinted at Xing Qiji.

"The King of Qin heard that the Qi army had broken the Yan army, and sent a special minister to congratulate the king!"

"Thank you for the kindness of King Qin, my Qi army broke the Yan army, but it was just a fluke to win, King Qin is not like this. ”

"This time the Qi army defeated the Yan army, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Yan country, the Yan country can no longer compete with the Qi country, the king of Qi is powerful in the world, and the king of Qin cannot but send his ministers to congratulate. Among the seven kingdoms in the world, only Qin and Qi are the most powerful, and the king of Qin has long had the intention of being called emperor, but when he thought that Qi was also a big country, he did not dare to call himself emperor without authorization, so he sent his ministers to Qi and asked the king of Qi to also call him emperor, so that the king of Qin was in the west, called the west emperor, and the king of Qi was in the east, called the east emperor, and the two emperors were parallel to the world, so that the world would be peaceful, I don't know what the king of Qi wanted?"

"The matter of being called the emperor is not trivial, I can't make my own decisions for a while, and I will make a decision after the king and his courtiers discuss it. ”

"In that case, when will I hear the good news of King Qi?"

"In three days' time, there will be news, please wait patiently. ”

"Three days is too long, King Qin is still waiting for me to return to my life, I will give an answer tomorrow, King Qi, what do you think?" Qin envoy Xing Qi Ji was a little aggressive.

King Qi was a little unhappy when he heard that the Qin envoy asked for an answer so quickly, but in view of the strength of the Qin State now, he couldn't be offended. It is better to agree to this, and by the way, inquire about the idea that the Qin State wants to invite Meng Weijun to be the prime minister, and make the Qin State send news, the King of Qi thought of this, so he replied: "Tomorrow, tomorrow." However, this king heard that the Qin State wants to invite Meng Weijun Tian Wen as the prime minister, why is there such a thing?"

"Meng Weijun's virtue is famous all over the world, and the king of Qin has long had this intention, this time while he is idle at home, the envoy will take him to Qin by the way. "Luckily, Zigi doesn't hide it.

"Don't bother with this, this king has issued an order to restore Meng Weijun as the prime minister. This king dismissed his phase, but he and this king had some differences of opinion on some trivial matters, and now all misunderstandings have been resolved, and the king is reconciled as before. After hearing this, King Qi quickly dispelled Xing Qi Ji's thoughts.

"So that's the case, then I can only go back to Ming King Qin. ”

"Okay, now please retreat, let's discuss the matter of becoming emperor. ”

"Okay, the envoy will retire. Xing Qiji said and withdrew from the court.

As soon as Qi Ji just withdrew, King Qi said: "Everyone has heard, King Qin asked the widow to be the emperor with him, becoming the second emperor of the east and the west, parallel to the world, you talk about it, what should the widow do?"

"The ambition of the wolf son of Qin is well known to the world, and it is true that he asked the king to call the emperor false, and he wanted the king to accompany him to roast on the stove. A minister with a crown said.

"The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the king and the king of Qin are jointly called emperors, no one will obey anyone, sooner or later there will be a contest, and the strength and weakness will be separated. ”

"Although the Qi State is far away from the Qin State and has not been disturbed by the war for the time being, this war will sooner or later burn to the Qi State. ”

"Now from the perspective of overall strength, the Qi State is not as strong as the Qin State, and the Yan State that has a feud in the north of the Qi State is eyeing the tiger, and once it recovers, it will make a comeback, and the ministers must not offend the Qin State. ”

"Qin's letting Qi join him as emperor is just a foreign strategy, and its real purpose is to make the king of Qi not join forces with other countries to resist Qin. ”

"Now that my Qi State has defeated the Yan State, the country is strong, and the Qin State has also seen this, and the Qin State is also very afraid of the Qi State. ”

"The king of Qin asked the king to be the emperor with him, this is because the king of Qin looks up to my king, and he should follow the will of the king of Qin. ”

"If the king is like the king of Qin, he will be equal to the emperor, and he will be able to divide the world equally in the future. ”

......

After King Qi asked, all kinds of discussions came out one after another. After hearing this, he thought that there were two opinions among the ministers, namely, those who could be called emperors and those who could not be called emperors, but there was still no definite result. King Qi frowned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what you say makes sense, but did the widow respond to King Qin's request and be called the second emperor of the east and west with him?"

"Great King, I don't think the Qin State should be offended, it is better to respond to the title of the Eastern Emperor. ”

"Great King, you must not promise the King of Qin to be the emperor, although the current Zhou Dynasty is an ornament, but it has not completely disappeared, we can't accompany the Qin State to scold the world for injustice. ”

"Great King, we have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not to offend the Qin State, but also not to be scolded for injustice by the vassal states. ”

......

There was another discussion in the court, and their suggestions to the King of Qi, no matter how they said it, were basically these three, and the last one was added compared to the previous one, which made the King of Qi dizzy and uncertain.

But just after talking so much in the court, Hengzi never spoke, just watching how King Qi decided.

Seeing that Heng Zi didn't say a word, King Qi turned his gaze to him and asked, "Heng Keqing, what do you think?"

"The minister thinks that the king promised the Qin State, but did not agree to the Qin State. ”

"What does this mean?" King Qi asked as soon as he heard Hengzi's words.

"Promise the Qin envoy first, let him go back to report first, and explain to the Qin envoy that the king of Qi must be called the emperor after the king of Qin is the emperor, not in front of the king of Qin, this puts the king of Qin in front, and the king of Qin will be happy after hearing it. Then, after the king of Qin was called the emperor, the king never announced that he was the emperor, which was to promise and not agree. After the king of Qin was officially proclaimed emperor, the king of Qi could show the world that he was not an emperor, and unite the princes of the world to negotiate against Qin in the name of supporting the Zhou Dynasty. ”

"You mean, first promised to be the emperor, and then joined forces to resist Qin. ”

"Yes, since ancient times, there has not been such chaos in the world as it is now, the vassal states have their own policies, and even the writing is different, and if this continues, the Chinese nation is in danger of splitting. Sooner or later, the world will be reunified, and the Chinese nation will always be one. Although Qin has the ambition of unifying the world, it is too desperate to do things, and it is unpopular, and the world has called Qin a country of tigers and wolves. The State of Qi is temporarily weaker than the State of Qin, but the State of Qi has the Qilu culture, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the world. For example, when the king of Qin was called the emperor, he ordered all the princes of the world to carry out a crusade, and in the name of the king's authority and justice, the princes of the world had to obey. With the power of the princes of the world, it is not impossible to destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop. At that time, Qi was the only powerful country in the world, which laid a solid foundation for Qi to unify the world. Hengzi gushed out his political opinions.

"Listening to Heng Keqing's words, it's like a dream, the widow doesn't have such ambitions, let alone think about unifying the world, but just wants to keep the Qi country out of the war, so that the people of Qi can live a peaceful life. A few days ago, Su Ji came to Qi and also persuaded the widows to join forces to resist Qin, but the widows refused, and asked everyone to mention the matter of joining forces. King Qi was angry and brushed his hands away.

"The king, the king, these are all the minister's heartfelt words, all for the good of the king of Qi, don't think about it!" Hengzi saw that it touched the bottom line of the king of Qi, but he didn't insist.
