The next day, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace one after another, one by one with anxious faces, in a hurry, the king of Xuan ascended to the dynasty, there must be a big event, no need to guess, it must be the imperial court in Xiqi to suffer a defeat, which is undoubtedly worse for the entire big business.

It is necessary to know that the country is in an eventful autumn, the king of the Xuan pampered Daji, ignored the government and politics, and the border passes were full of wars.

For the civil and military, being an official in today's Yin Shang is quite precarious.

The officials marched to the nine halls, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the majestic atmosphere in the palace made everyone's hearts tighten, and they were busy waiting in the courtroom. No matter how mediocre the king is, he is also a high son of heaven, who has absolute power over life and death over hundreds of officials, and those who dare to disagree with the king will be dry bones in the grave.

A lesson from the past, hundreds of officials dare not take it as a warning.

After a while, the maid of the palace opened the screen like a peacock, and the king of Xuan came to the main hall, his steps were a little light, his eye sockets were sunken, and he ascended to the golden throne that represented the imperial power.

He is a mortal body, but he is secretly messing with the three demons all day long, even if he is strong and strong, and consumes tonic medicine every day, but his vitality is gradually disappearing, if he is not controlled, he is afraid that he will not be far from death.

"Ordered the ministers to step forward. ”

The civil and military officials hurriedly marched to the front of the palace, and Zhang Qian came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is an envoy from Xiqi who wants to see him." ”

All the officials were shocked, Xiqi's envoy came to sing, but something big happened.

The king said, "Take people to the main hall." ”

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, San Yisheng walked up to the hall calmly, ignoring the hatred in the eyes of the civil and military officials, and stepped forward to pay respects: "Ministers San Yisheng, meet Your Majesty!"

King Xuan glanced at him and asked, "San Yisheng, why did you come to the palace?"

San Yisheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered by the king of my family to send a letter to Your Majesty, and reconcile with the imperial court, Xiqi will always serve Your Majesty as the monarch's father, and every year to the imperial court to supply 500,000 stones, gold and silver 10,000 taels, 1,000 silk horses, and 100 beauties to show sincerity." ”

King Su sneered: "Ji Fa is a big deal, but the imperial court has lost countless people, horses, money and food in Xiqi, how can these things be written off." The key is that Ji Fa has a heart of disobedience, if he is not arrested and questioned, where is the majesty of me and the court!"

San Yisheng explained: "Your Majesty, my king has always been loyal to Your Majesty, and has never thought of betrayal. ”

"The joke is ridiculous. If you are sincere to me, why do you accept traitors privately, and oppose the court three or four times, if there are a few more such loyal ministers in the world, I am afraid that my country will have changed hands long ago. ”

San Yisheng said: "If it is not my king's intention to accept traitors and offend the king's face, this matter involves a cause and effect, please let me speak slowly." "Those who are in the official in Xiqi know that the three people who King Xuan wants to ask for the crime are King Wu, Huang Feihu and Jiang Ziya.

The king said in a deep voice: "You say, I want to listen carefully, what Ji Fa did is no different from rebellion, is it all forced to do it." "If it weren't for Zhang Qian explaining to himself that he had a strong relationship, King Su would have let him drag San Yisheng down and cut him down. Ji Fa's subordinates, even if they are not chaotic ministers and thieves, have no sincerity for the court.

"When the old King Wen was alive, every time he came to pay tribute, Huang Feihu took care of him, and the king of my family, as a son of man, repaid his father's kindness, so he had to offend the holy face and accept Huang Feihu, just for filial piety. ”

The king of Xuan muttered: "This matter is excusable, I don't care about Ji Fa. Then I ask you, why Ji Fa has repeatedly fought with the imperial court, and what is his intention!"

San Yisheng had already thought of what to deal with in his womb, and he said without lying: "Your Majesty, every time the imperial court sends soldiers and horses to come, my king sent people before the war, and bluntly said that the heart of His Majesty can be seen in the sky, the sun and the moon can be expressed, and there has never been a heart of disobedience, but I don't know why, I have been misunderstood, all the soldiers are a bunch of rough people who have no law, no better trained than the imperial army, they can't be angry, so they fought with the imperial court, and this fight is out of control." ”

The king did not speak, looked at Wenwu, and Weizi came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what this person said is really full of words, where is there a king in this world who is coerced by his subordinates." ”

San Yisheng retorted: "Your Highness Weizi, don't you hear that the general will be disaffected by the order of the monarch outside. ”

Weizi was stunned, if he was able to argue, he would only be afraid of Zhang Qian as the leader. King Su glanced at the hundred officials and asked Zhang Qian: "Aiqing, what do you think of what San Yisheng said?" ”

Zhang Qian sighed in his heart, and said insincerely: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what San Yisheng said is not unreasonable. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military voices were discussed, and the king snorted and said: "San Yisheng, I estimate and believe you, your request to surrender, I accept it, go back and tell Ji Fa, if you find that he has different intentions for me, you will use the power of the country to crusade against me, and you will not die!"

San Yisheng's heart froze, and he hurriedly said, "The minister has an order." ”

Although this king is obsessed with women, but the majesty is still there, looking at its momentum, there is still the appearance of the king in the world, it seems that the king is invited to surrender, although he is forced to be helpless, but he is not wise.

The king of Su spoke, and the prime minister also spoke for San Yisheng, even though the civil and military forces were full of doubts, but they did not dare to stand up against it at this time, for fear of angering the king of Zhou. There are a few confused officials who will say in unison: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

......

The court meeting dispersed, and all the civil and military forces withdrew from the Nine Halls, Weizi glanced at Zhang Qian, and walked away with a displeased face. In his opinion, Zhang Qian must have accepted the benefits of San Yisheng, otherwise he would never speak for him.

"Prime Minister Zhang, thank you for speaking for me just now. ”

San Yisheng bowed his hand to express his gratitude, things went very smoothly, obviously Zhang Qian went to see the king last night, and he must have said something good for himself, and the king accepted Xiqi's invitation to surrender. Just like back then, the reason why King Wen was willing to release King Wen was the credit of Fei You's two ministers.

Zhang Qian shook his head and said, "I also think about the court, so I can't do it." ”

Last night, in order to get rid of the king, he racked his brains, all the king cared about was his king's face, and he was all for the sake of the country, so he agreed to strike the army and make peace. After all, if he fought with Xiqi endlessly, Ji Fa would certainly not be able to bear the loss, and the imperial court would not be able to bear the consumption caused by the war.

Not in his position, not in his position.

After sitting on the position of prime minister, Zhang Qian counted the country's money and grain income, and found that the treasury was empty, and it had become a trend of making ends meet. At that time, the situation will be even more precarious than it is now.

In recent years, the country has fought one after another, and the king of Zhou has built a large number of buildings, built a deer platform, a wine pond and a meat forest, and squandered it wantonly, squandering the savings of two generations of kings for decades, regardless of the consequences.

San Yisheng said: "Prime Minister Zhang, you and I are loyal to our own country and our own king, and your mood is very understandable. "The king is tyrannical and moody, if Zhang Qian is just a minister, then as long as he pleases the king, his prime minister must be extremely easy, but unfortunately he is not, the difficulty is very great, a little careless, the face will be a catastrophe.

Zhang Qian said coldly: "No need, you go back and tell Ji Fa that his strategy of delaying the army is not unnoticed, but it is not necessary to make a fuss." If he is still restless and guards himself and tries to take business instead, Zhang Qian will not hesitate to die, and he will also persuade His Majesty to crusade against the whole country!"

This was said very politely, the threat was obvious, San Yisheng's face was solemn, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Qian, a civil official, would have such courage and foresight, and with him and Deng Jiugong here, it would be a huge threat to Xiqi.
