Pingyuanjun stayed in Luoyang for five days before leaving. He loaded all the goods on the ship, and the two hundred cars carried only a small amount of baggage and grain, and crossed the river and took the dry road, from the Taihang Road, to Handan. Pingyuan Jun claimed to take the waterway, but in fact, he was mixed in the car, and went to Handan by light car, and there was no publicity along the way, but it was a journey by water, and he stayed in the pavilion with great fanfare. Every time I get off the boat and rest, there are always gods from all walks of life who meet openly and secretly.

Pingyuan Jun walked on the Yellow River for ten days before turning into Zhangshui, which was regarded as entering the territory of Zhao, and the ministers and nobles sent by King Zhao to greet him were already waiting at the mouth of the Zhangshui River. After a routine ceremony, Hirahara-kun was invited to a large ship dedicated to the royal family, escorted by warships in front and behind. Ships carrying goods followed.

Pingyuanjun talked with those ministers and nobles on the boat to learn about the situation in Handan in the past six months, and paid special attention to the situation of Gongzi Yiren. A minister said: "Lü Buwei entered Xianyang to lobby, and the stranger actually had to enter Mrs. Huayang's door, and the prince and Mrs. Huayang were generously gifted, with Lü Buwei as the master." Now the palace of the prince of Qin is majestic, and it is a view of Handan City. ”

Pingyuanjun shook his head and said, "Definitely! Qin Jue is the first to make military exploits, although nobles and relatives can't go outside. Qin and Zhao competed, and the alien entered the quality with his body, and he made great contributions to Zhao Yuan. Could it be that the Lu clan did it! ”

After Pingyuanjun finished speaking, the compliments in the audience were everywhere, and they all praised Pingyuanjun for his unique insight and profound thoughts. Pingyuan Jun said: "Gou to Handan, when you meet with your son!" ”

A minister on the side asked: "Qin has served the king to go out of Xianyang, should the king also return the son?" ”

Pingyuan Jun's face sank suddenly, and he said: "The ministers live in Xianyang, and they have a lot of kindness from the King of Qin; How many sons are in Handan! The frightened minister turned pale and bowed his head and said nothing.

A minister hurriedly came out to change the topic and said: "Tomorrow morning, we will meet you outside Handan City, and the son will also be with you!" ”

Pingyuanjun's face turned slightly pale, and said: "Gongzi Gou Zhi, I would like to see you." ”

The minister immediately went out and conveyed Hirahara-kun's instructions to the passers-by outside the cabin. Pedestrians immediately boarded a small boat and hurried to Handan.

Change boats from Zhangshui to enter the water, and rest in Yiyang City. There is the palace of King Zhao in Yiyang City, and Pingyuan Jun will rest here for one night and set off into Handan tomorrow.

After dinner, someone came to report that Qin Gongzi sent his Fu Lü Buwei to meet him. Pingyuan Jun himself naturally disappeared, and sent his retainers to contact Lü Buwei on his behalf.

The retainers met Lü Buwei inside the gate of the palace, and the two saluted each other. Lu Buwei said: "The king is fortunate to summon the prince to see, the son is afraid of being rude, and he ordered the ministers to consult him!" ”

The retainer said: "The king feels the virtue of the king of Qin, and he is willing to meet with the son, without him." The two finalized the time and etiquette for meeting tomorrow. Lu Buwei said: "The son is fortunate to be loved by Mrs. Huayang, and he received it under his knees, so he changed his name to Zi Chu to show Chu Ye!" Now the king's order is right. Since the day, the son's name is Chu, and he is not a stranger, so don't make a mistake! ”

The retainer was a little surprised, and said, "The minister should report to the king." If something happens suddenly, don't blame it! ”

Lü Buwei said: "When the king's order first arrived, something happened suddenly, may the king not be guilty!" ”

The matter was settled, and the two resigned. The retainers entered the palace to pay a visit, and the events of tomorrow were clarified one by one, and explained that Gongzi Yiren had changed his name to "Zichu". Pingyuanjun was a little surprised, and said to himself: "Change your name to Zi Chu, change your name to Zi Chu......, wonderful people, wonderful people!" ”

The next day, before dawn, the ministers and nobles who greeted Pingyuan Jun outside Yiyang City arrived one after another. Since Yiyang is not far from Handan, there are more people who come this time, and many people want to take this opportunity to get in touch with Pingyuan Jun, who is in power and opposition. A branch of the talisman was sent into the city, except for a few people, the plain king did not even let them enter the city. They also waited in a queue outside the city. Among the people who were allowed to enter Yiyang City, Gongzi Yiren, now called Zichu, was one of them.

After Lü Buwei met with Pingyuan Jun's retainers, he immediately went home to prepare. Zi Chu naturally knew the severity and stayed awake all night, and together with the concubine, his entourage, and Lu Buwei, he carefully studied the details of the audience. Pedestrians came before dawn to urge them to get up. Zichu prepared the car, only took the two of them, Fu Xiang and Lu Buwei, took a car, led the way by pedestrians in front, called to open the city gate, and drove from Handan City to Yiyang. At this time, it was the beginning of the Qin calendar, and the climate was hot, so everyone generally went out early and returned home for a lunch break after the sun rose.

The morning breeze was blowing, and it was cool, and the heat of the night was swept away, and Zichu felt refreshed. Now, he is no longer dressed obscenely when he first arrived in Handan, he is dressed in black, his skirt sleeves fluttering in the wind, high-sounding, with a sword at his waist, and his spirit is flying. In the middle, he drove the car with a solemn expression. Lu Buwei on the right side of the car also changed the color of the Qin people's clothes, wearing a black robe. At that time, after the reform of Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry and archery, the clothing styles were more mixed, some wore Hu clothes, some wore dark clothes, and the colors were also varied, Zichu and a car of people were all black, which was naturally eye-catching.

Arriving at the foot of Yiyang City, there were already many noble relatives of Zhao Guo lined up outside the city. Pedestrians took Zichu to the city gate, and pedestrians presented festival charms. When he was young, a retainer greeted him and said respectfully: "Zhao Pingyuan Jun Gongzi Sheng respectfully invites Qin Gongzi Chu!" ”

Zi Chu and the three of them were all relieved to see that the person who came had changed their names. The prime minister stepped forward and said, "Prince Qin and Prince Chu respectfully pay a greeting to the Plains King!" ”

The minister and Zichu followed the retainers into the city, and the pedestrians took Lü Buwei to park the car on a horse stone outside the palace gate, and waited outside the gate with Lü Buwei. Although the pedestrian was conscientious in his duties, he was obviously very hostile to the Qin people, and ignored Lü Buwei, who took the initiative to talk to him several times, and he only had a simple answer, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Lü Buwei had no choice but to give up his efforts and close his eyes in the car.

Zi Chu and Fu Xiang entered the palace with the retainers, and were taken into a side hall by the retainers, and Pingyuan Jun greeted each other in front of the steps.

Zi Chu saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, and it seemed that he was the only one who entered the palace to meet him this time, so he couldn't help but get nervous. What happened to Pingyuan Jun in Qin is clear to himself: the King of Qin rudely detained him and threatened King Zhao to kill Wei Qi, who defected to Pingyuan Jun, causing Zhao and Pingyuan Jun to lose face with the princes. It is also possible to finally come back from the Qin State and take the opportunity to take revenge on yourself. But seeing Pingyuanjun personally greet him in front of the steps, he didn't seem to have malicious intent.

Unable to think about it, Zi Chu stepped forward to salute him, and said, "Zi Chu respectfully sees Pingyuan Jun." The king is from Xianyang, and he should be like a father! ”

Pingyuan Jun also politely replied: "Subordinate to Xianyang, the King of Qin is favored, and Wen Gongzi is despised by the Zhao people in Handan, and he is very unfair." The son is as good as his father, and the king of Qin is like his father. ”

The prime minister said: "Qin Zhao is one, the quality of the king is in Yanye, and the king is returned to King Wu, and he does not dare to forget it!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Yes, I and my son can be described as a world friendship!" "Go down the stairs with your son, enter the hall with the same steps, and sit down left and right.

Pingyuan Jun said: "The head of the year is out of Handan, the son Fang Zhi, Qin Zhao is in Wu'an, and he is unknown to advance or retreat." As for Xianyang, the king treats him like a pro, and he is kind. Wu'an soldiers, the people live in peace, and the power of the sons is also. The son of Fuwen is famous in Handan on the outside, and he is favored on Huayang on the inside, and he is a sage who is self-attained. ”

Zi Chu saw that Pingyuan Jun did not speak ill of each other, and also said respectfully: "In the past, I entered Handan, and I always cherished relatives, and every time I worried about Zhao people, I donated hills and ravines. And even then, for the first time, he won the love of Zhao Gongzi, and he was very happy; Regain the good fortune of King Zhao and get a high portal. Now the monarch and the prince are allied in the river, Qin and Zhao are harmonious, and the world is good, not only the luck of the two countries, but also the luck of the world! ”

Unexpectedly, Pingyuanjun's face sank, and he said, "Childe's words are bad!" Qin Zhao is harmonious, the world is good forever, only the luck of the two countries, not the luck of the world! Who? Win from Xianyang to Handan, every prince wants Zhao and Qin to fight, Zhao and Qin to fight, he will help, and the trend of unity and indulgence will become a success! ”

Zi Chu hesitated a little and asked, "Who wants Qin and Zhao to fight?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The head of it, Gai Chuye." Wei and Han, in and out; And Yan and Qi are also secretly connected. ”

Zi Chu said: "This is all about two tigers fighting, one dead and one injured." May you keep your ears up and don't listen! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Shenggu knows the danger of his intentions!" Zhao and Qin are fighting, and all the princes of the world want to take advantage of their disadvantages, not Zhao is in danger, Qin is also in danger! ”

Zi Chu said: "Jun Yan is also. The ministers live in Handan, and the king and his father have repeatedly said that they should befriend Zhu Zhao and marry forever! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "It is also the wish of Yisheng." However, the Zhao people love the land, and the former is also married, and the six cities are allowed to make peace, and there are complaints in the court. Now it has been decided, and the Zhao people all think that there is no matter of the six cities, and the victory is also a success. May Qin suspend the cutting of the six cities, and Rong Sheng slowly said that his ministers can also! ”

Zi Chu took a long breath, organized his language a little, and said: "The dispute between Qin and Zhao was also caused by the bullying of the six cities, so there was a disaster of Changping and fighting. If there is no entry of the six cities, how can the dispute stop! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Six cities, King Zhao has many people, and he must be sacrificed." However, the minister is not satisfied, and he is willing to slow down and obey it. ”

Zi Chu said: "I will see the resumption of fighting." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "May the prince declare his will to the king, and do not let the princes' plans succeed, and the alliance of brothers will be defeated." Qin and Zhao competed, its benefits were in the princes, and its losses were in the two countries. The benefits of the six cities are small, and the benefits of gaining power are great. Qin and Zhao Meng, Chen in the south, Zheng in the east, all of them are also capital. Qin attacked it in the south, Zhao attacked it in the north, and the world was not enough to serve. Why do you think of the six cities? ”

Zi Chu said: "Offer six cities to peace, Zhao Zhinuo also." Today's words are still in my ears, and I want to eat myself, although I don't do it, I am a gentleman! It is up to the word. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "If Qin must claim the six cities, Zhao Chen will refuse, the war will rise, and then the princes will benefit." May the prince investigate it in detail and speak kindly to the king! ”

Zi Chu said: "The minister should report to the king." The minister said that when he entered Xianyang, the Qin envoy would go to Handan, Suocheng would not succeed, the Qin army would come, and he was afraid that Handan would be a mound and the countryside would be a ruin! The body of the minister is not to be said! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The king and the prince love the prince very much, and the words of the prince will be accepted, and the friendship between Qin and Zhao will be forever." ”
