Chapter 53 Chapter 11 The Death of King Qin Wu

When Zhang Yi returned to Xianyang, he found that the air was not right.For him who has been around for a long time, this is also expected. Once the emperor and the courtiers, it's no big deal.But the next few things that happened could not but arouse his vigilance. The first thing is that Wei Zhang, the hero of the Battle of Danyang, was originally from Wei, and was recommended by Zhang Yi to Qin Huiwang. He has always been regarded as his accomplice. The second thing is that Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi's old enemy for many years, actually left South Korea's prime minister and came to Qin again.Although King Wu of Qin hasn't appointed him any position yet, this person can already enter and leave the palace freely, which is no small matter.

The third thing is that Gan Mao was originally from the state of Chu. After being introduced by Zhang Yi and Chi Liji, he was reused by King Qin Hui. He had a good relationship with him on weekdays, but now he began to deliberately avoid Zhang Yi. Of course, Gan Mao was still very polite when he saw Zhang Yi, but whenever Zhang Yi wanted to say something to him, he laughed and said, "Today's weather is really nice!" What is it?The clear clouds are overcast, and the wind and rain are coming! There are various indications that if Zhang Yi continues to stay in Qin, he is likely to follow in the footsteps of Shang Yang.

But where can you go if you leave Qin? Looking around the world, Zhang Yi offended all the princes who could offend him—King Xuan of Qi and King Huai of Chu hated him deeply; King Wei Xiang and King Han Xiang (King Han Xuan died in 312 B.C. King Han Xiang) dared to be angry with him but did not dare to speak; King Zhao Wuling was so hot-tempered that he didn't like him at all; King Yanzhao had nothing to do with him, but given the current situation of Yan, he probably didn't want to cause any trouble. Zhang Yi was not afraid of offending the princes.In the past twenty years, he has entered and exited the courts of various countries with a perfect tongue, told stories, told stories, and often danced on the tip of a knife, which was extremely dangerous.However, he has never felt afraid, because he knows that as long as King Qin is behind him, there will be nothing wrong with him.

But this time, even King Qin was not on his side.He was like the fox who once led the tiger among the beasts, suddenly found that the tiger was looking at him fiercely, and couldn't help but feel chills. Apparently the tiger is still considering whether to eat him or not.However, once the tiger made up his mind, he would have nowhere to escape—even if he could escape from the tiger's mouth, how could the beasts he had teased let him go? He had to find a way out for himself before King Qin Wu attacked him. One day, he said to King Wu of Qin: "I have served the Qin State for many years, and now I am too old to run for the King, but I still want to play a little bit for the Qin State. I wonder if the King can approve it?"

King Qin Wu said nonchalantly, "Speak." Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has the ambition to command the world. I admire you very much. But to command the world, you need both powerful force and the right time. If all the countries in the east are in peace, and your majesty hastily If you leave the army, I am afraid that it will cause the public anger of the princes, and then Tian Wen, Su Qin and others will take advantage of the situation and raise the banner of unity, which will be very harmful to our country. On the contrary, if the eastern countries kill each other, you will have a chance. Cheng, the teacher is famous."

Qin Wuwang nodded slightly, signaling Zhang Yi to continue talking. "Now, the king of Qi hates me very much because I broke up the alliance between Qi and Chu. Wherever I am, he will definitely launch an army to conquer. I hereby beg the king to send this old bone of mine to the state of Wei to lure me. The State of Qi came to attack the State of Wei. When Qi and Wei were at war, the king could send troops out of Hangu, pretending to attack Sanchuan, South Korea, but he did not have to attack. To produce the map of Jiuding and the world, this is the great cause of being king." After all, we are back to the topic of "holding the emperor to order the princes".

Although Qin Wuwang hated Zhang Yi, he couldn't help but feel excited after hearing these words.The biggest difference between him and King Qin Hui is that he made no secret of his desire for power and glory.In other words, King Hui of Qin may still be somewhat in awe of Emperor Zhou, but King Wu of Qin only regards Emperor Zhou as a licensed product. If he could, he would dare to risk the world and carry Jiuding back to Xianyang. Qin Wuwang even suddenly felt that Zhang Yi was not so annoying.If Zhang Yi is sent to Wei State, it can trigger Qi State to attack Wei State, which can be regarded as waste utilization, which is better than killing him.

After all, it is a bit unreasonable to kill the important officials of the former king as soon as he came to power. Thinking of this level, Qin Wuwang said: "Then it will be hard for you." Zhang Yi quickly bowed down and took the order. King Wu of Qin said again: "Since you are going to Wei State on behalf of Qin State, you can't be too shabby. How about this, I will appoint Wei Zhang as your deputy, and I will give you 30 leather chariots. Don't let Wei Wang look down on us." King Qin Wu was secretly proud of himself: This is really killing two birds with one stone, and even Wei Zhang was sent away.

Zhang Yi was waiting for this sentence. "Represent Qin".As long as he wears this hat on his head, he will not be afraid to travel all over the world, and he is even more familiar with the road in Wei State, so it's no problem. In this way, Zhang Yi, as the resident representative of the State of Qin in the State of Wei, came to Daliang, the capital of Wei, in a splendid manner. When King Xuan of Qi got the news, he sent troops to attack Wei. King Wei Xiang was afraid.Zhang Yi was very calm, and he said to King Wei Xiang: "With me here, you don't have to worry. I can make Qi retreat without a single soldier."

Zhang Yi sent his retainer Feng Xi to go to the state of Qi pretending to be a member of the state of Chu, and said to King Xuan: "Everyone in the world knows that the king hates Zhang Yi, but now Zhang Yi has been driven to the state of Wei by the king of Qin, but you are trying to make him regain the trust of the king of Qin. How can you do this?" Treating him preferentially is really incomprehensible." King Qi Xuan said: "Nonsense, wherever Zhang Yi is, I will send troops to fight there. How can I let him gain the trust of King Qin?" Feng Xi said: "You don't know. When Zhang Yi left Qin, he had an agreement with the King of Qin..." So he relayed what Zhang Yi had said to King Wu of Qin to King Xuan of Qi, and then said, "The king will send troops to attack Wei, is in the arms of the King of Qin. When the King of Qin is happy, he may call Zhang Yi back to the country again. Doesn’t this make him regain the trust of the King of Qin?”

King Qi Xuan slapped his head: "Fortunately, you reminded me that I almost fell for Zhang Yi." King Wei Xiang didn't know what tricks Zhang Yi used, but he only knew that Qi State really retreated under Zhang Yi's persuasion. He couldn't help admiring Zhang Yi, so he appointed him as the prime minister. A year later, Zhang Yi died in the state of Wei at an unknown age. Wei Zhang has no records since then, and he does not know where he ends up.
