The Queen Mother met with Duan Zigan, and first asked the people, the king, and the society of Wei according to the rules, and Duan Zigan answered them one by one. Then the Queen Mother said: "I heard that Prince Qin is in Wei, what is his appearance?" ”

Duan Zigan didn't expect the Queen Mother to directly enter the topic of the prince here, and suddenly felt difficult to deal with, can't just say that our family is fine, and then say But I'm going to kill your family, right? After hesitating for a moment, Duan Zigan said a little heavily: "If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's question, the minister still didn't dare to speak." Hedong took the two cities of Wei this year, the Yiyi was narrow, the land was small and the people were lost, the two cities were lost, and the ministers were raging, all saying that Qin betrayed the Wei covenant and wanted to be unfavorable to the prince. Minister......"

Before Duan Zigan finished speaking, a scream came from behind the curtain, and the Queen Mother interrupted him sharply, saying, "Desire will not be good for the prince?" Thou shalt ...... Painful for me! I will tell you, the prince, my grandson, the prince of Qin, but there is the slightest damage, the old woman will go to Daliang, looking for the king of Wei...... Painful for me! ”

The Queen Mother's affectionate words frightened the Duan Zi to bow to the ground and dare not raise his head.

The Queen Mother continued: "You are waiting for Qin, and it will be unfavorable for the prince to sue? Will the prince change the two cities? Bah! Qin seized the second city of you, you should fight yourself, line up in battle, carry the banner in a dignified manner, and fight with Qin, it is a big husband! Is it not ashamed to take a small child as a hostage? ”

After the Queen Mother vented, she finally stopped. Duan Zigan trembled and said: "The Queen Mother is angry, and Rong Chen has a word." ”

The Queen Mother reluctantly said: "You say it! ”

Duan Zi said: "The minister is a Han, and he is a Wei minister, inheriting the king's grace, and he has to serve left and right." Qin seized the two cities of Wei, and the righteousness of the alliance of the king wanted to ignore it. Nai is difficult to swallow, and they all discuss the prince who must be responsible. Therefore, the king ordered his ministers to enter Xianyang as soon as possible and sue the king of Qin, so that the prince would be safe and the two countries would be harmonious! ”

The queen mother said: "The king has a heart, he can send it back to the prince, and the two countries will fight again, and fight each other!" ”

Duan Zi said: "The Queen Mother is angry." The ministers are also out, and the king has repeatedly declared his life, Yu Guo, Wei and Qin, and the alliance; In private, the king's sister and the prince belong to the prince, and the prince and the king have brotherhood. If the king orders his ministers, he will never dare to break with the great powers, and he will always form an alliance and swear not to contradict each other. Qin Dan and Wei land, the king has to calm the anger of the public, not only the prince has the peace of Mount Tai, Wei also does not dare to turn his back on Qin, forever for the east protection. The way of Tao will be safe. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The gains and losses of the land are not heard by the old woman." Qin seized Wei City, Wei seized Qin Yi, each with its own ability, and the country is always the same. But the prince, the old woman's heart must not be damaged. Wei Dan and Qin Jue, willing to send it back, are very fortunate! As for Taoyi, it was sealed by the marquis, if Wei Bi wanted, the old woman didn't dare to stop it! ”

Duan Zigan was very helpless. The queen mother licks the calves deeply, and the major national affairs are put aside, who you like to beat, as long as you don't hurt the prince. But I can't do this, the key is that Wei wants to cut down Qin, and if you can't beat it, you can only talk about the prince. Duan Zigan replied: "The Queen Mother loves her children and grandchildren, and she is the same as her parents all over the world." The king also wished that there would be no war. May the Queen Mother be kind to the king, give a little to the city, eliminate the troubles, and form an alliance forever! ”

The Queen Mother said: "Qin is willing to be with Wei Alliance, but the prince is in Wei, and I have not heard of the prince of Wei in Qin." ”

Duan Zi said: "Wang is also willing to be friendly with Qin, and it is difficult for Nai Qin to seize Wei City!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "But if you have this heart, discuss with King Qin, everything can be done." If there is a disorder in the heart, it will be damned. The noble envoy said that the prince married the eldest king's daughter, and the prince and the king, brothers. Honestly! May you always be willful, and do not carry it. ”

Duan Zi said: "The minister must inherit the teaching of the Queen Mother!" ”

The queen mother said: "The prince's matter, the old woman looks forward to the noble envoy. ”

Duan Zi said: "I wish to live up to the teaching of the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "If you want Qin to return to the city, why bother to give up on your children." “

The joke said: "I wish to hear the teachings of the Queen Mother!" “

The Queen Mother said: "In the past, the old woman was the king in advance, and the first king was tired with his hips; Leave it on its body, and the Buddha is heavy, why not? With its less, it is advantageous. The weight of the two cities is not less, and those who want Qin to inherit it without regrets will get its benefits. “

Everyone knows what is going on with the queen mother's example, but when she said these words in the court, everyone present was so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads, and the prince and the princess only blushed. Duan Zigan said embarrassedly: "The minister respectfully understands!" “

The two talked for a while about other unimportant matters and ended the conversation.

After Duan Zigan got up, Prince Chu, who had not spoken, sent him down to the hall, called his entourage, sent them out of the palace gate together, and watched them get in the car and leave.

Seeing Duan Zigan and the others leaving, the Queen Mother called, and a group of female officials immediately came out from behind the screen to support the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother pointed to the princess sitting below and said, "What is the princess like?" ”

The princess saluted and said, "Okay! ”

The Queen Mother said: "There is no one now, you can rest for a while, don't get up in a hurry." Several female officials helped the princess to lie down on her side, soothing her almost numb legs. The Queen Mother said distressedly: "It's all bruised, and it's rubbing!" Several female officers gently helped massage a few times.

The princess said ashamedly: "If you don't have to serve the queen mother, you will make the queen mother tired!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "If it's not etiquette, why don't you go out!" No tires can be moved! ”

Those female officials were all from the past, and they knew how to wait, and after a while, they relieved the numbness of their legs and helped the princess up. Seeing that the princess was fine, the Queen Mother also stood up and said, "Don't move lightly, take a slight step first, and then go after steady!" Watching the princess walk was fine, so I was relieved. When the prince returned from sending the guests, the queen mother personally handed the princess to the prince and said: "Fortunately, there is nothing to do, but I am tired of waiting!" ”

The prince said: "Listening to the lessons of the Queen Mother is also a blessing." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Fortunately, you will wait and return, and take care of the fetal gas." "The crown prince and the princess resigned. The Queen Mother watched them go down the steps, then turned around and went to the back house, and whispered softly: "I treat him as my own son, and I wish he will treat my son as my own son!" ”

During the Empress Dowager's lunch break, King Qin sent someone over to inquire about today's talks. During the meeting, the female officer who was hiding behind the screen took out the written record and handed it to the waiter to take away.

When it was time for dinner, the pedestrians invited the joke to the Zhangtai Palace, which was not far from the Ganquan Palace. Due to the long time since the dynasty has been dispersed, there is no longer a welcoming procession of all Qin ministers at the gate of the palace, and it seems to be deserted compared to when visiting the Queen Mother in the morning. However, the people who greeted him at the palace gate were excellent: Jingyang Jun, Gao Lingjun and An Guojun, and those who sang praises in the court were the marquis. Seeing this lineup, Duan Zigan feels that this trip is worthwhile!

Duan Zigan saw the King of Qin in the main hall, and the King of Qin returned the salute in the seat. Duan Zigan naturally sits on the west seat, the one who sits in the east is the marquis, and there are three gentlemen behind him. Sitting down, the marquis sang and praised: "Feast! ”

As a result, music sounded inside and outside the hall, and the dancers performed single, double, and triple dances in front of the hall. The chef served the tripod, and everyone lined up a full seat, not only nine tripods and seven tripods. Duan Zigan secretly laughed at the Qin people for being barbaric and not understanding etiquette.

The dings are neat, and the music and dance stop. The Marquis stood up and praised: "Wei envoy is Qin Wangshou!" ”

Duan Zigan respectfully raised the knight, avoided the banquet, and said: "Wei Chen Duan Zigan, I would like to obey the orders of our lord for the longevity of Qin Wangshou!" King Qin is eternal, and his longevity is boundless! "Drink on the ground, and bow down again.

The marquis praised again: "The king of Qin is the longevity of the king of Wei!" ”

King Qin said: "An Guojun is a widow!" ”

An Guojun also raised his wine to avoid the seat, saluted to the Wei envoy's seat, and said: "Qin An Guojun, I would like to represent the King of Qin as the King of Wei." Wei Wangshe is Qingning, and the wind and rain are smooth. "Drink on the ground, and bow down again.

The Marquis praised again: "Wei made it the king of Qin!" ”

Duan Zigan had already prepared, and immediately gave "There is a Taiwan in Nanshan": "There is a platform in Nanshan, and there is a Lai in Beishan." Happy only gentleman, the foundation of the state. Happy only gentleman, long life indefinite. There is mulberry in the south mountain, and there is yang in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, the light of the state. Happy only gentleman, long life without borders......"

The Marquis praised: "The King of Qin replied! ”

King Qin said: "I will answer with the paragraph "Nanshan Youtai". ”

And so the music came back. A group of female musicians sang in unison: ......" There are berries in the south mountain, and there are Li in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, the parents of the people. Music is only a gentleman, and the sound of virtue is endless. There is a tree in the south mountain, and there is a tree in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, not longevity. Music is only a gentleman, and the sound of virtue is Mao. There is a wolf in the south mountain, and there is a wolf in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, not yellow. Le only gentleman, after Bao Er. "Singing and dancing at the same time, I sang "Nanshan Youtai" over and over again. In the song and dance, the guest and the host raise their heads and sing frequently.

Gradually, the music changed to Zhou Nan, and the female musicians sang "Zhumu": "There is Zhumu in the south, and Kudzu is tired." Happy only gentleman, blessed with Suizhi. There is a tree in the south, and the kudzu is barren. Happy only gentleman, blessed will be. There is a tree in the south, and the kudzu lingers. Happy only gentleman, blessed to do. ”

Duan Zi got up and bowed: "Qin Wei has a good marriage and a friendship. Yuan and Yi, the ministers of the Yi have no way to govern, fortunately thanks to the rule of Qin, all the people are supported, widows and loneliness, and they all have their home. Wei Shi praised. Dare to love the king to return the wall and Yi, Wei Wei followed his strength, followed behind, and ruled it! ”

King Qin said: "Hou Hou is seventy years old, healthy and disease-free, beautiful!" May the Marquis of Wei wish the king of Wei a long life. ”

Duan Zigan didn't know what he meant, so he had to stand up, stand aside, and accept the blessing on behalf of King Wei.

The marquis said: "I wish the king of Wei, the king is very long, the gold and jade are cheap, and the people are treasures!" ”

The joke said: "Good! ”

King Qin said: "May I wish again!" ”

The marquis said: "I wish the king of Wei, no shame to learn, no evil to ask, the sage is beside him, and the admonition is popular." ”

The joke said: "Good! ”

King Qin said: "May I wish again!" ”

The marquis said: "I wish the king of Wei no offense to the ministers and the people." ”

Duan Zi said: "I heard that the son offended the father, the minister offended the king, and I didn't hear that the king offended the minister." ”

The marquis said: "If a son sins against his father, he can be relieved by his aunt and uncle, and his father can forgive him." If a minister offends the king, he can thank him for his convenience, and the king can forgive him. Xi Ji offended Tang, Su offended King Wu, and this Jun offended his ministers, don't thank you, so far I will not forgive. ”

King Qin said: "May the King of Wei be good at cultivating his way, Suiyuan will come to Huai, not lose his virtue, and the country will be prosperous!" “

The joke said: "The king of Yiyi may have been sorrowful, but he has not heard of the loss of morality!" “

Jingyang Jun said: "The king makes him enter the palace, and the people are expelled by him, not to lose his virtue, how can he be like this?" Duan Zigan was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, and his forehead sweated in a hurry.
