When Hou Sheng heard Qi Wangjian's words, he was stunned at first, and his heart was slightly nervous. Now there are only Qi countries left in the Six Kingdoms, and Hou Sheng naturally understands that the current Qi State cannot stop the Qin State at all, so he has the idea of emulating Li Yuan in his heart, but he does not want to set up another Qi king, but wants to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender.

Hou Sheng did not rush to answer Qi Wangjian's question, but secretly scanned the situation in the hall with his residual vision, he was worried that Qi Wangjian knew his thoughts, so he specially called him to come, and ambushed the knife and axe hand in the hall, as long as he exposed his true intentions, he would smash the cup and kill him.

Looking at Hou Sheng's vigilant appearance, Qi Wangjian was not in a hurry. He already knew from Ying Zheng's mouth that Hou Sheng had the idea of surrendering, so he recruited Hou Sheng and wanted Hou Sheng to help him balance the main battle faction in the country. Regarding Hou Sheng's vigilance, Qi Wangjian said that he could understand, after all, no one would believe that his monarch wanted to surrender before the enemy attacked, and if this matter was said, he, the king of Qi, would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

After learning that Hou Sheng had the idea of surrendering, Qi Wangjian had other thoughts in his heart, surrender was doomed, but it was not impossible to let his evaluation in the history books after his death not be so unbearable.

Hou Sheng looked around and found that there were no ambushes around, and when he came, he also noticed that there were no guards outside the palace, so it can be said that he was absolutely safe.

"The king has already gone to the Qin State, what do you think of the comparison between the Qi State and the Qin State?" Hou Sheng asked tentatively.

"It's far better than when King Qin Zhaoxiang was alive, he once wanted to be called the two emperors of the East and the West with the Qi State, and at that time the Qi State was at the peak of its integrity. Since then, the state of Qin has become stronger and stronger, while the state of Qi has become weaker and weaker. Qi Wangjian said.

Hearing Qi Wangjian's calmness towards Qi Guo, Hou Sheng also had some confidence in his heart and continued

"What does the king think of the people of Qi?"

"A good man!" Qi Wangjian said.

Seeing that Qi Wangjian was as weak and bullying as ever, Hou Sheng's heart finally had confidence.

"The next words of the great king's ministers are great disrespect, and I ask the king to forgive my great disrespect." Hou Sheng said.

"You say, 'The widow forgives you for your great disrespect.'" Qi Wangjian looked at Hou Sheng who was hooked and said.

"Now the world Qin has gone to six points, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the country can levy millions of people who can fight well at any time, and it is a fierce general, not to mention Wu Anjun, Li Mu, Wang Jian and other famous generals, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Yang Duanhe and other generals are definitely not what my Qi country can contend with. Since the Jiang family lost the hearts of the people, to the prince of my Tian family obeyed the people's will, was elected by the people to govern the Qi country, and was named the Marquis of Qi by Zhou Tianzi, the people of the Qi country are loyal to the clan.

Now the Qi country is facing a strong enemy, war, the Qi country will be defeated, the people are displaced, and they are suffering from the war, I don't know how many people of my Qi country will die in vain. If we surrender without a fight, the Qi country will also die, but the people of our Qi country will not be invaded by the war, and the land of our Qi country will not be trampled by the Qin army's iron cavalry. The blood of my Qi royal family will not be broken.

My Tian clan Qi country was established in accordance with the will of the people and elected by the people. Now the people of Qi are also unwilling to fight against Qin, and please rest assured that the king will gain or lose personally and protect the people of Qi! Hou Sheng began to burst into tears as he spoke.

Seeing Hou Sheng like this, Qi Wangjian thought that this matter was done, but he still said on the surface

"The prime minister also knows what the widow said, but how can my Qi country surrender without a fight? What's more, did the DPRK and Chinese officials agree to surrender? Will the clan be able to accept it? ”

Hearing Qi Wangjian's answer, Hou Sheng understood that Qi Wangjian had accepted his opinion in his heart, but he was a little hesitant because of the court and the clan, but this was normal, if Qi Wangjian decisively agreed, it would make people feel strange.

"As long as the king is willing, the minister can unify the wishes of the courtiers and the clan for the king. The surrender is not that our Qi State succumbed to the obscenity of the Qin State, but that the king had the virtue of a good life and could not bear to see the people of Qi suffer from the war. Hou Sheng said righteously.

"Then it's troublesome for the prime minister, and the widow is waiting for the news of the prime minister." Qi Wangjian said.

"Leave everything to the minister." Hou Sheng said.

Qi Wangjian nodded, and a smile appeared on Hou Sheng's face. Neither Qi Wangjian nor Hou Sheng noticed that an attendant outside the palace was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

The door of the main hall opened, and after Hou Sheng walked out, the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to help Hou Sheng put on his shoes. After sending Hou Sheng out of the palace, the chamberlain headed in the direction of the clan.

"I have important information, let me go to see Gongzi Zhan." The chamberlain said to the guard at the door.

"Follow me."

The guards took the chamberlain to find Gongzi Zhan.

"Meet the prince, the king summoned Hou Sheng." The chamberlain said.

"What did they say?" Tian Zhan asked.

Hou Sheng proposed to the king to surrender to Qin, but the king was worried that the court and the clan would not agree, so he did not agree. Hou Sheng then agreed to help the king unify the opinions of the courtiers and the clan, and the king seemed to agree with Hou Sheng's idea of surrendering. The chamberlain said.

"Damn the victory! Treacherous and misleading the country! Tian Zhan scolded angrily.

The chamberlain hunched over and did not dare to reply.

"Go get your reward." Tian Zhan said.

"Thank you, Childe."

After the waiter left happily, Tian Zhan slammed his fist on the table, his eyes full of anger.

"How can my Qi country surrender without a fight? Treacherous and misguided country! Tian Zhan said sadly, "The ancestors of the Tian family, you see, the current monarch of the Qi State is weak, and the power is controlled by traitors. My Qi kingdom is about to perish. ”

Tian Zhan, as one of the few main battle factions in the clan, has never been treated by the people of the clan, and it is precisely because of this that Tian Zhan's sense of existence is not strong, which gives him many opportunities to develop his strength. Because by chance, he found Zhang Liang's traces, and he originally wanted to use the cooperation between Zhang Liang and Xiong Qi to help the puppet Chu State capture the Chu State, so as to reach the Qi-Chu Alliance, so as to deal with the Qi State.

But before he could wait for Xiong Qi's reply, the puppet Chu State was destroyed by the Qin State, and he could only turn to Zhang Liang to cooperate.

"Maybe I should do it first." Tian Zhan said.

Because of frequent contact with the Zhang family, the people of the clan became even more disgusted with him, the main battle faction. casually found an excuse to drive him, the main battle faction, to Xue Cheng. In Xue Cheng, Tian Zhan met the Xue Cheng County Commander, who was also the main battle faction. So with the help of the Mo family's anti-Qin faction, Tian Zhan secretly controlled several cities near Xuecheng, and secretly trained a group of troops in Xuecheng. This army was intended to be used by him to kill Hou Sheng and control the court of Qi State.

Yesterday, Zhang Liang wrote to him, saying that he was going to set off an uprising in Daliang and wanted him to support. He hasn't replied yet, but now it seems that he can't give Zhang Liang support, but Zhang Liang can give him support. Zhang Liang was involved in the Qin army in Dongjun, he launched the Qing monarch side in the Qi State, so as to take charge of the Qi State, and continued to let Zhang Liang launch uprisings in various parts of the Qin State when the time came, and he relied on the help of the Mo family to train a new army in the Qi State, and when the time came, he attacked the Qin State together with the uprisings in various parts of the Qin State.

Thinking of this, although Tian Zhan didn't have much chance of winning in his heart, this was his last game, and if he won, he would become the future king of Qi State, and in overthrowing Qin State, he would be the most prominent person in the world in the future. If you lose, you're just dead. If he didn't fight, he would die.

After making a decision in his heart, Tian Zhan wrote to Zhang Liang, hoping to get Zhang Liang's help, and at the same time asked him to write a letter to Xuecheng County Order, preparing to let him find an opportunity to go south to help him kill Hou Sheng and control the Qi court.

After receiving a large number of letters from his own guests, Ziyou knew that the time was ripe, so he set off for Daliang. In order to cover up his whereabouts, Ziyou went alone, and the ink crow Bai Feng, as well as Concubine Yan, Shao Siming, Snow Girl, Startling Salamander and Flame Spirit Ji were all left in Xianyang by Ziyou, creating a sign that he was still in Xianyang.

By the time Ziyou arrived in Daliang, the imperial historian sent by Yingzheng had already arrested a group of people, who were not only Ziyou's disciples, but also some of the official positions left by the old Wei State.

After entering Daliang City, Ziyou directly entered the local Dingxiang Building and found the person in charge of Daliang Luowang. After seeing Ziyou's arrival, the person in charge of the beam was also surprised.

"Meet the sir." The person in charge of the beam saluted and said.

"Well, I'm coming to you to ask if anything has happened to you lately?" Ziyou asked.

"Recently, there have been a large number of Jianghu people in Daliang, these people have complex identities, we can't screen them one by one, but most of them are Jianghu rangers. Recently, Yushi investigated and arrested people in Dongjun, and many people were sent to Daliang's prison, and Luo Wang suspected that these people might be the disciples of the arrested people, or people who came to see the excitement. The person in charge of the beam said.

"Is there any news from Zhang Er?" Ziyou asked.

The person in charge of the beam was stunned, Zhang Er was Ziyou's doorman, he knew it, and he had heard about the recent abolition of Ziyou, and all the reasons were because of Ziyou's door. Now Ziyou asked him about the news of Zhang Er, and he couldn't figure out how to answer.

"Tell me the truth." Ziyou said.

"The net did not specifically target Zhang Er's surveillance. It's just that recently there has been news in Daliang City that Zhang Er is sick and has not seen visitors for the time being. Many of the knights or scholars who came to visit Zhang Er and wanted to become his disciples all returned in a huff, or stayed in Daliang. The news of Zhang Er's illness also came out from them. The person in charge of the beam said.

"Well, any other news? All over East County? Ziyou asked.

"Now the imperial history is investigating cases in various places, and there is quite chaos in various places, but with the protection of the Yulin Army, no one has hurt the imperial history." The person in charge of the girder said. Because Yingzheng used the imperial history this time to prepare to solve this matter openly, he did not wipe and meddle in this matter by doing dirty work like Luo Wang, and continued to investigate the anti-Qin forces in secret.

"Well, stand down." Ziyou said.

"No!"

After the person in charge of the beam left, Ziyou decided to meet Zhang Er. Although Ziyou didn't know what role Zhang Er played in this matter, he let Zhang Er manage these doormen, and if Zhang Er's loyalty to him wavered, it would be difficult for his doormen to say whether they were loyal to him or not.

Night.

Zhang Er was writing something in his study when suddenly the door opened. Zhang Er's heart tightened, then he drew his saber and looked cautiously towards the door.

"The warriors are easy to move, and the frightened birds are uneasy. Will Zhang Er also have a time when he is afraid of doing something wrong? Ziyou's voice sounded behind Zhang Er.

After Zhang Er turned his head and saw Ziyou, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Ahh How could you come to me, sir! Zhang Er said in surprise.

"What? Aren't you welcome? Ziyou asked rhetorically.

"How dare you, it is my honor that my husband can come to me, but I am not prepared for your sudden arrival, and please don't be angry." Zhang Er said.

"You don't need these false gifts." Ziyou said, "After I arrived at Daliang, I heard that you were sick, so I thought about coming to see you." But I see that your health is very good, and it is not as serious as it is said from the outside. ”

"Thank you Mr. for your concern, I'm not sick, but there have been a lot of knights and scholars who have come to the door recently, and I don't want to see them, so I sent them away in the name of illness." Zhang Er arched his hand and said.

"Hmm."

Ziyou nodded and didn't speak again, but looked at the half-written letter on the table. Seeing Ziyou read his letter, Zhang Er suddenly became nervous, because this letter was written by him to one of Ziyou's doormen, and there was naturally nothing to write and communicate between doormen, but this doorman and Zhang Liang colluded.

"This doorman named Weilin, why don't I have an impression?" Ziyou looked at the beginning of the letter and said.

"Welling is just a nobody, and Mr. naturally doesn't know his name. He is now the county lieutenant of Sanyang. Zhang Er said.

"I see, what do you mean when you say in this letter that you should not have a deep relationship with thieves?" Ziyou looked up at Zhang Er.

The quilt Ziyou stared, and Zhang Er suddenly felt a huge pressure. Looking at Zi You's indifferent gaze, Zhang Er knew the situation in Dongjun and his lord was already very clear, and the news of himself and Zhang Liang was likely to be known by Zi You.

"I'm ashamed of my ears, sir!" Zhang Er knelt on the ground and bowed his head to Ziyou and said.

"Do you know how to be ashamed of me? Tell me why? Ziyou sat down and said indifferently.

Zhang Er is ashamed of his trust in Mr. When the thief Zhang Liang found me, I should have notified the government to arrest him as soon as possible. It should not be blessed because of the selfishness in his heart, and he should not secretly take in the powerful people left by the old Wei State. Zhang Er knelt on the ground and said.

Hearing Zhang Er's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Ziyou's eyes, he didn't expect Zhang Er to do so many things behind his back. Originally, he just thought that Zhang Er was hiding what his disciples had done, but he didn't expect Zhang Er to collude with Zhang Liang and the anti-Qin forces in secret.

"Isn't the current Qin State bad? The people of Dongjun are better off than when they lived in Wei, right? When you took Xinlingjun's disciples to be loyal to me, you said that Xinlingjun's greatest wish was two, one of which was to regain the style of Wei and let Wei have the strength to dominate the world. The second is to let the people of Wei have no worries about food and clothing. The first wish, Xinlingjun, has lost hope because of the betrayal of his royal brother. So he wanted to see the second one, and I promised to make the second one.

Now although the people of Dongjun cannot say that they have no worries about food and clothing, they can also meet the needs of food and clothing. Why do you have an anti-heart in your heart? Ziyou asked. Ziyou didn't really care much about Zhang Er's betrayal, one of which was because Zhang Er and Chen Yu in history took refuge with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of Qin, and they were supporting the descendants of the Zhao royal family and restoring King Zhao. In the end, he helped Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu, and it can be said that Zhang Er in history has never been loyal to the Qin State from beginning to end.

The second is that in Ziyou's view, he and Zhang Er belong to a cooperative relationship, Ziyou promised to let the people of Wei have enough food and clothing first, and Zhang Er led Xinlingjun's disciples to join him.

"Okay, but Zhang Er is highly respected and trusted by Xinling Jun, but when Wei was in danger, he betrayed his mother country, and Zhang Er felt guilty. So when he found out the old nobles of Wei who had fled, he chose to shield them and wanted to give them a way out. When Zhang Liang heard about this, he thought that I also had an anti-Qin heart in my heart, so he wanted to win me over.

But I didn't say yes, and he was stationed in the village near Daliang. I was worried that his contact with me had been exposed, so I helped him cover his tracks. Zhang Er said.

Looking at Zhang Er, a cold light flashed in Ziyou's eyes, but then it returned to normal.

"Zhang Er, you are also a celebrity, how could you do such a brainless thing?" Ziyou sighed.

"It's me who is confused. Mr. Zhang Er is ashamed. Zhang Er cried.

"Tell me about the doorman. Who colluded with Zhang Liang? Ziyou asked.

Zhang Er still carefully explained the affairs of the Dongjun disciples to Ziyou. Although the quality of Xinlingjun's disciples is the highest among the four princes of the Warring States, they are not all upright people. After offering the merits of the Wei State, Ying Zheng rewarded them, because there were not enough officials in the Qin State, and they were all Ziyou's disciples, so Ying Zheng let them temporarily manage the place.

These doormen have been doormen for half their lives, and suddenly they have become officials with real power, and their hearts are still inflated. At the beginning, Dongjun was in the process of recovery, and they did not dare to go too far, nor did they dare to accumulate wealth and power. As East County recovered, it developed rapidly. Ying Zheng also began to send officials trained by the Qin State to replace them. So they used the name of Ziyou, and most of the Dongjun was controlled by their fellow customers, so they began to collect money.

After they had the money, they began to recruit doormen, and they themselves became addicted to the king. And the people who took refuge in Zhang Liang at first took refuge in the Qin State because of the general trend and the profit, so they were willing to take refuge, and then they were used to holding real power, but they were suddenly replaced, and their hearts were unbalanced, so they were taken advantage of by Zhang Liang.

After they colluded with Zhang Liang, they began to accumulate wealth more obviously to provide money and manpower for Zhang Liang's anti-Qin cause.

"You're just going to watch them go wrong and help them hide it from me?" Ziyou asked.

"Yes." Zhang Er said.

Ziyou looked at Zhang Er and didn't know what to say for a while.
