When they learned that the Qin people had penetrated deep into Yicheng, the ministers of Wei were helpless, and finally they had to take the prince as a hostage and force Qin to withdraw their troops. The envoy must not only be able to speak well, but also be in a high position, and be able to deal with it on the spot when necessary, and not use it to ask for instructions. Everyone thought of the joke! But Duan Zigan excused himself and said that in the two peace talks in Kaifeng and Huayang, he was the one who lost power and humiliated the country, and his image in Wei was very bad; Now that he is sending an envoy to the Qin State, I am afraid that he will have to make a lot of concessions in order to achieve his goal; In the end, I am afraid that it will reach the point where "everyone in the country can be killed".

Wei Qi said: "The conclusion of the peace discussion is also under the orders of the king, how can it be a crime!" Or stuff the mouths of the people, or settle the feelings of the masses, but if there are one or two disrespectful words, they will be followed by a high lord, and I hope that the paragraph will be observed! ”

Xinling Jun said: "This trip is not for peace, but for the retreat from Qin, which is the so-called folding and rushing bottles, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and what the husband is doing!" ”

Duan Zigan heard what Xinlingjun said, and he knew that it was not good, so he turned Xinlingjun into an army and asked: "The minister has nothing to do, I wish the prince to teach him!" ”

Xinling Jun said: "The prince is seen in Daliang, and this Qin country is also important." With the prince in Daliang, the Qin people have to retreat? Where is the crown prince? ”

Duan Zi said: "Prince Qin's entry into Daliang Ye, Baotao and Xianyang exchanges, will not harm Wei Ye." Now I will retreat from the army, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince it! If the Qin people don't retreat, can Wang Qi cook the prince? ”

Hearing that Duan Zigan was obviously speaking to the Qin people, Xin Lingjun couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and said: "This is the Qin Ye who wants the joke to move with words." Why do you say it's lonely? ”

Duan Zi said: "Whoever says it to others, he must first say it to himself." If you have been served, you will be convinced. If the minister thinks of Qin as a minister, the minister will be unable to do it, so he will ask the prince to teach the minister! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Wei Zi should not harm the prince, he will move his ears!" The joke can be said that the king of Wei is angry, which will not be conducive to the prince, and the joke tries his best to protect it. Now in Xianyang, I hope that Qin will temporarily retire his troops and welcome back the prince, and in the future! ”

Duan Zi said: "The friendship between countries lies in faith." Wei didn't dare to be rude to the prince, and this person knew it. They will be threatened, and they will suffer. ”

Xinling Jun said: "May the paragraph be difficult!" ”

Duan Zigan replied: "The minister will enter Xianyang, and he will visit the prince?" ”

Xinling Jun said: "It is a must-visit." If you get a word from the prince, you will win a lot of jokes. ”

Duan Zi said: "If the prince doesn't say anything about himself, what will he do?" The minister must say that the king will not be conducive to the prince, and I hope that the prince will apply to the king of Qin, retreat to the east of the river, and take the whole head! ”

Wei Qi said: "How can this be reasonable! The joke is another story. ”

Duan Zi said: "The minister or Yan, the minister will go to Xianyang, and he is willing to use the prince's words to move the King of Qin!" ”

Xinlingjun said: "I dare not say this. Duan Zi is Wei retreating from Qin, and I hope Duan Zi is good at planning. ”

Duan Zi said: "Yi Shou sees that he is in Yiye, and he is not pulled out by Qin Zhan, so why is he responsible?" The king sent an envoy into the rebellion, and he was beaten by the slander, which was not the crime of Qin. His words and words are both in Wei, not in Qin, how can the ministers deal with them? ”

Xinling Jun was so angry that he trembled, and shouted: "The lonely joke moves Qin with words, and the joke's words repeatedly turn back on Qin, what does it mean?" ”

Duan Zi said: "Those who move with words, words must be reasonable, words must be emotional, in Wei also benefited, in Qin also got its merits, mutual utilitarianism, it may not be expected." What's more, what is the benefit of Wei Mengqi? The minister didn't get the excuse, because he didn't dare to go! ”

Wei Qi said: "If you read the paragraph in detail, you will get something later." Childe or consult Mr. Zhu, and there will be some justice. Please be the opposite of the joke, in order to get it! ”

Xin Lingjun found that he was angry, and he was very uneasy, and bowed down and said: "Dare to ask the joke to think of Wei, you will get it!" Lonely but gained, must be offered! Wei Qi and Duan Zi resigned.

Xinlingjun invited some guests to come to the house to discuss, and asked them to suggest what words to say to Yu Qin. Doctor Zhongyue said: "A gentleman's words, if you can't believe it, the quality is useless." Forgiveness and courtesy, although there is no quality, who can do it? If you say that the prince is the prince, he will not enter. ”

Xinling Jun said: "I would like to hear Mr. Rum's words." ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Fu Qinzhi and Wei, the alliance is also. Wei Yi was not governed, and Qin ruled it, and Wei felt its virtue. Today, Wei does not dare to work hard for Qin, and is willing to use good ministers to govern his city. I would like to give you money and food, and I think I am grateful! ”

Xinling Jun said: "If you redeem it with money and food, how much should you worship?" ”

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Yes, Nanyang will also be the capital of Nanyang, and the money and grain merchants will gather in Yan. and they will be overdone, but they will be redeemed. ”

Xinling Jun said: "It's still impossible to get it, and it's too much!" ”

Mr. Zhongyue said: "And in other words, the prince lies in Liang Ye, Liang may not be prepared, I hope the prince will say, my king will not dare to resign!" ”

Xin Lingjun said: "Mr. said very good words, I will say it in the paragraph." ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "May the king not say anything. With the argument of the joke, there is no way to say anything! But the king has nothing to get along, but with the prince as a word, it is a word. If you use money, food, and land as an excuse, the prince and his assistant will also be able to move his heart! ”

Xinlingjun said: "It's because I don't know what I see, and I'm stingy with my property." Mr. thanked him for the paragraph: I don't know what I said, what I said is not true, and his words are not advisable. Now that I know it, I don't dare to say it again, I want to hear it in the joke! "Mr. Zhongyue took the order and went to the Wei Prime Minister's Mansion. When he returned from a young time, he said: "Duan Zi Xie Gongzi, his mind is reckless, and he doesn't know what to do. Xin Lingjun was relieved.

Duan Zigan visited Prince Qin first to inquire whether the prince's life in Liang was okay and what his needs were. The prince said that he was satisfied with everything and did not ask for anything else. Duan Zigan explained that he would make use of Xianyang, because Qin quietly occupied the two cities of Wei's Yuan and Yi. He will go to Xianyang and ask Wei why he was attacked. The prince only pushed and didn't know, but only assured that Qin definitely did not betray the alliance. Duan Zigan asked the prince what words he wanted to bring to the king of Qin, and the prince just said nothing.

With the prince's statement, Duan Zigan has a bottom in his heart. After some solemn temple speeches and sermons, Duan Zigan led twenty cars to set off for Xianyang. This was the first time that Wei sent an envoy to visit Qin since the Battle of Huayang.

After entering Hangu Pass, Duan Zigan verified the festival symbol, and Hangu Wei immediately flew to Xianyang, and at the same time arranged for Duan Zigan and his party to rest in the pavilion.

At the same time, the news of Wei's envoy Duan Zigan's envoy to Qin quickly spread throughout the five countries of Shandong, and countless sentinels rushed to Xianyang either explicitly or covertly.

As early as when Duan Zigan was on the road, Qin Ting received information that the Wei envoy was coming, and the news he got from the Qin prince was that Duan Zigan would ask for Yuan and Yi in the future.

The Marquis smiled coldly and said, "Let's look at what it's worth." ”

A few days later, Hangu Pass reported urgently, Wei made Duan Zigan enter Hangu, there were 20 cars, all of which belonged to rice, meat, bamboo, wood, and brocade. The marquis ordered to leave the car in Hangu and only send the envoys to Xianyang.

Ten official ships dressed up in majestic and majestic costumes, planted with the flag of the Wei State, came to Xianyang on the Wei River, and were escorted by Qin troops on both sides, marching on a daily journey. Every time they pass through a county, they are greeted and sent off by county officials, and a team of guards is organized. Five days later, the boat entered Xianyang Weishuijin, and the pawn led a group of pedestrians to meet him at Jinkou, and on both sides were bands organized by Yuefu. Xianyang Ling also organized a welcome procession, which was crowded and powerful.

The ship is close to the mouth of Jin, Duan Zigan stands on the bow of the ship early, and the entourage is standing in the bow and stern. All the boatmen rowed together, the boat was like flying, sweeping over the river, and the wind of the Wei State was blown up, waving in the wind, whirring. When the boat arrives at Jinkou, the cable is gathered on the shore, the gangplank is set up, and the band beats the urn, and it becomes a rhythm. A group of female voices sang: "Pick the mushroom, the basket of the basket." The gentleman comes to the court, why should he give it? Although there is nothing to give, the road car rides the horse. And what to give? Xuangon and Xuan. Immediately, a group of male voices sang: "Boiling Threshold Spring, Words and Celery." When a gentleman comes to the court, he looks at his words. Its sound is loud and loud. Carry the horse, the gentleman. Amid the sound of drums, Duan Zigan stepped off the boat and greeted the pawn with a salute.

At this time, a guest behind him asked: "Wei Zhi entered Qin, and the alliance hired each other, and if it was not the princes who saw the Son of Heaven, why should they play "Picking Mushrooms"?" Indecent also. ”

A pedestrian behind the pawn replied: "The former prince entered Qin Ye with heavy ears, Qin Bofu "Picking Shu", and the son bowed." Now the king of Qin is also respected by his uncle; Duanzi, the foreign minister is also, inferior to the son. Played with "Picking Mushrooms", it is also obvious! ”

Wei Guobin obviously didn't expect that his provocative words would lead to a merciless counterattack, so he was speechless and had to retreat with a salute. Duan Zigan hurriedly changed the topic and praised: "I have heard that Zhou's gift is all in Lu, not Qin Guanzhi!" ”

The pawn said: "Qindi, the hometown of Zhou, so there are many Zhou Le." May the joy of the world be viewed, not alone. Duan Zigan was embarrassed when he heard this.

In the sound of the elegant music of "Cai Shu", the entire Wei delegation landed on the south bank of Weishui. The diner introduced the distinguished guests who came to greet him today: Prince Wan of Chu and Huang Xie of Chu Zuotu. Duan Zigan asked, "Prince He has been hostage to Qin for a long time?" ”

Prince Chu said: "If you don't follow the king's order, you don't dare to leave without permission!" ”

The pawn said: "The prince has lived in Qin for a long time, and the queen mother is very happy, and she returns to him with the princess." Today may be a child! ”

The joke said: "Prince Gule, I don't want to return!" ”

Huang Xie said: "The minister heard that Prince Qin has been in Wei for a long time, Wei is not very polite, what?" ”

Duan Zigan said: "The prince lives in Liangye, and there are hundreds of guards, all of whom live in the pavilion." I can't help but go in and out, and the doctor asks from time to time. But there is a shortage, and the preparation does not dare to endure the time. Why is it rude? ”

Huang Xie said: "The prince has lived in Daliang for more than a year, and the inner curtain has been open for a long time, and the king of Wei has nothing to give?" ”

The joke said: "The left disciple doesn't know anything! The crown prince is newly established, and the first king is the princess to hold the broom, and the prince and the king of Wei are brothers. ”

Huang Xie said: "Although Wei Nu entered, the inner curtain was still empty, and this Liang and his brother were disloyal. ”

The pawn said: "The prince is a young man, and now he is in Liang, but he has three servants, all of whom are old women." It's not Wei's fault. ”

Huang Xie said: "When the prince entered Qin, there was no servant. And the king gave the king's daughter, and the concubines and concubines, and the genus of women's music, the king's grace is vast! Is the prince so good? ”

Duan Zigan saw that Huang Xie was determined to save face, so he had to retreat and said: "I am not thoughtful, and I am so careless!" Huang Xie just gave up.

In the midst of drum music and the singing of "Cai Shu", the Wei envoys boarded the three-ride leather cart and slowly came to the pavilion, and the rest of the people followed behind the car. Since the gifts were all left in Hangu, the mission consisted of only a hundred people, either with swords or halberds, like an army, caught in the middle of the road by Qin Shimin.
