Chapter 68 The fifth quarter is confusing and talented

It has been three days since I arrived in the state of Wei, and Wang Ji has not seen the king of Wei, so I am really annoyed. It is really inexplicable that the declining Wei State dared to treat the special envoy of Daqin so slowly.Among the six countries in Shandong, Wei State has the most tradition of diplomatic mediation, and also attaches the most importance to diplomatic etiquette.There is only one reason, Wei State is the center of civilization in the Central Plains, and it is also the most powerful country in the six Shandong countries. Whenever there is an issue in the world, Wei State will come out to mediate and mediate.The three generations of Wei Wenhou, Wei Wuhou, and Wei Huiwang, Wei Guo is a great state that can determine the world with a word of civil and military balance.Suddenly there are three generations, King Wei Xiang, King Wei Zhao, and King Wei Anli, the state of Wei is not as good as one generation.Especially since King Wei Anli ascended the throne for seven years, Wei State has disappeared from the world without a sound. No matter how many countries are turned upside down, Wei State just keeps silent!Keeping a low profile is fine, Wei is a big country after all, and there is no country that easily provokes and initiates a war.However, if the special envoy of the State of Qin came to make friends with each other, but still ignored it, it would be abnormal.Could it be that Wei Guo really wants to be a country that shrinks its head and does not make alliances like the remaining dozen or so small princes?No, absolutely not!Anyone who understands can see clearly that the current state of Wei has been squeezed between the two great powers of Qin and Zhao. In addition, there is a state of Qi in the east that is trying to revitalize it again. The country is in danger of subjugation!In such a dangerous situation, is Wei Guo really numb to the point of being unconscious?Will not.Wang Ji knew very well that although King Anli of Wei could not be regarded as a heroic monarch, at least he was still a middle-aged man who was not a fool. Besides, there was such a great talent as Wei Wuji, the leader of the four princes of the Warring States Period. The mountains crushed it?Elephants are abnormal, and there must be extraordinary reasons behind them.It is common sense to speculate that the current friendship with Qin State is what Wei State needs to avoid the attack of the three powers. It is impossible for Wei State to ignore the arrival of Qin State's special envoy.If you don't see each other for three days, there must be a secret.

But where is this secret? "Prepare the car! Call on the Prime Minister's Mansion." After thinking for a while, Wang Ji decided to make some noise. The car drove into the quiet and wide Wang Street, turned a corner, and arrived at the carriage and horse farm in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.The current Prime Minister of the Wei Kingdom is named Wei Qi, and he is the son of a powerful royal family.The Three Jins have always had a tradition of the children of the royal family being in power, especially in the Wei state.Since King Wei Hui, most of the prime ministers of the state of Wei have been princes of the royal family, and the most powerful person is the prime minister Wei Ang (Gongzi Ang) during the period of King Wei Hui, and the second is the current Wei Qi.The reason for this is that Wei Qi is the same mother and brother of King Wei Zhao and the uncle of King Wei Anli. It's half a king.As long as the communication is done properly, Wang Ji believes that some falsehoods will be revealed from the mouth of this illustrious prime minister.

According to etiquette, the chariot of the special envoy of a great power can go directly to the gate of the prime minister's mansion, without having to park the chariot in the carriage and racecourse and then walk to the gate of the mansion to report to enter.However, Wang Ji has been walking around the king for a long time, but Wang Ji is thoughtful and well-versed in the preferences of these nobles, so he ordered the driver to drive the car to the horse and horse farm to wait, and he only brought an official with a gift box to the mansion calmly in front of the door. As soon as the gatekeeper heard that he was the special envoy of the State of Qin, he murmured and felt a little uncontrollable. When Wang Ji handed over a small leather bag containing jingle gold coins, the gatekeeper rushed in to report without saying a word.After a while, the gray-haired elder of the prime minister's mansion came out to greet him, and led Wang Ji in graciously.When passing through a whirling bamboo forest, Wang Ji gave another bag of gold coins made by Qin State Shangfang to the elders.The old man asked Wang Ji if he wanted to meet the prime minister in the main hall or in the study.Wang Ji then said that he hadn't submitted the credentials yet, so naturally the study room was ready.The elder of the family said that Jia, a doctor of Chinese medicine, was reporting to the prime minister in his study when he came back from his envoy, so he had to wait for a while.Wang Ji laughed in his heart, oh, Dr. Xu Jia has returned from his envoy to Chu State?The old man laughed in a low voice, where did he come from as an envoy to Chu?It is the state of Qi.oh!Wang Ji suddenly realized that he smiled, but I was also confused. Doctor Zhong is very talented, so he must have returned in triumph.The old man shrugged his nose and shook his head with a disdainful smile, talking angrily, could it be a triumphant return?Maybe something happened, otherwise the old man will guarantee you to see the prime minister immediately.Wang Ji said again and again, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, I don't mind waiting.While talking, the elder led Wang Ji into an unusually elegant small hall, ordered the maid to make tea, said that he would go and have a look, and then walked away.

Just after drinking two cups of green and fragrant Fengze tea, I heard a burst of laughter, how can I take care of such a condescending guest?Then there was the laughter of the elders, the prime minister is busy with state affairs, it was the fault of old age, I have already told the adults.Wang Ji hurriedly stood up and walked to the porch and bowed his hands in the distance. Qin Wang Ji paid a visit to the prime minister.Then he saw a man with a green jade crown and a big red robe striding towards him with gray hair, a red face, a red face and a pot belly, he laughed and cupped his hands, this old man is really rude to neglect the special envoy of a great country!So he came over and took Wang Ji's left hand, and entered the small hall like a spring breeze.

After joking and exchanging a few words of greeting, Wang Ji cupped his hands: "It's my first visit to the prime minister. I don't think it's respectful. I offer you a pair of Lantian jade tools. Please accept it." With a wave of his hand, the official brought over an ancient bronze square box Respectfully placed in front of Wei Qi's case.Wang Ji stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is a finely crafted Lantian jade. I have heard that the Prime Minister is good at jade appreciation, so please comment on it." "Jade Dragon Golden Eye Pendant?" After just one glance, Wei Qi's eyes lit up, and when he held up the jade pendant with the red brocade to look at it repeatedly, he really couldn't put it down.

Peiyu is a long-standing tradition of Chinese clothing.From three generations to the Spring and Autumn Period, it has always been a common custom in the world to carve and polish jade into various ornaments.There are many kinds of jade ornaments of the upper class nobles, and Peiyu has become one of the symbols of status.Even ordinary people often wear simple jade articles such as jade fish, jade tiger, and jade pendants to show auspiciousness.The etiquette of the Warring States period was greatly simplified, and the wearing of jade ornaments was relatively simple.During the Spring and Autumn Period, a group of more than a dozen large long strings of jade pendants hung all over the body is no longer a must for nobles. A single piece of jade pendant has become a daily ornament. Jade swords and so on have become decorative utensils that imply auspiciousness.Although the etiquette of adorning jade has been simplified, jade carving tools have made great progress in the age of iron ware, and the production of jade ware is more refined than that in the Spring and Autumn Period.The large-scale single-piece jade pendant produced by precision craftsmanship has become a rare gem in the world.At that time, the Lantian jade of the Qin State was one of the famous jades in the world, and together with the Hu jade from the Western Regions (that is, Xinjiang Hetian jade in later generations), and the Jing jade from the Chu State, they were called the "Three Jades" by the world.The jade pendant brought by Wang Ji is a large single-piece jade pendant made of Lantian jade and carefully crafted by the jade craftsman of the royal family of the Qin Dynasty——Jade Dragon Golden Eye Pendant!This jade dragon pendant is unusual, the jade material is white and crystal clear, and at first glance it is an extremely rare suet jade; the jade pendant is clearly carved from a single piece of jade, the whole body is nine inches and nine centimeters, and there are thirteen bends together with the dragon head and tail; The magical one, the back of the jade dragon has black dragon-patterned scales, its eyes are red like flames, but its eyeballs are yellow and golden!If the black-scaled fire eyes are a rare talent for jade, then the jade dragon-inlaid gold eyes are the first-class jade-cutting technique in the world of the Warring States Period - jade inlaid with gold.Jade inlaid in gold is already very rare, and gold inlaid in jade is simply unheard of.Even though Wei Qi was well-informed, he was dazzled for a while.

"Good! Good! Good!" Wei Qi said three times in succession, "Innate talents, peerless craftsmanship, and Qin Shangfang's engraving, these three sects are enough to make this treasure immortal! The old man saw it and called it Yulong What does your envoy think of the golden eyes?" "The Prime Minister's eyesight is the best in the world, and his evaluation is of course flawless." Wang Ji hurriedly followed up. "The special envoy treats me like this, how can I repay this old man?" Wei Qi wandered around the hall for a few steps, then turned around suddenly, "The special envoy said it's all right, what can I ask the old man for?"

Wang Ji said with a smile: "It turns out that the King of Qin respected the prime minister for the country. If he wanted to build a good relationship between the two countries, there is nothing wrong with it." "Qin really wants to form an alliance with Wei?" "The Prime Minister clearly observed: Although Qin and Wei are long-standing enemies, time has changed. Zhao and Qi are ambitious and have become a major disaster for the world. At this time, Qin and Wei have no conflicts. If they do not join hands to fight against Zhao and Qi, Qin will be restless and Wei will be in trouble. It's even more imminent."

"It's true." Wei Qi frowned and turned around with his long gray eyebrows, "Not to mention that Zhao Guo has always coveted Wei, even this Qi State, who has just recovered from the catastrophe of destroying the country, is going to deal with it." It’s really unbelievable that I have done a lot of tricks.” "Oh, I remembered." Wang Ji suddenly smiled, "I have also heard that Qi State is going to take back the land of the old Song State that was taken by Wei State. If so, Qin State can help Wei State to resist the Qi army." "No, no, no." Wei Qi waved his hands again and again, "We started a war with Wei, and Qi doesn't have that strength right now. What the old man said, it was Tian Dan, Lord Anping of Qi, who dared to bribe our envoys to be my hands and feet. You are deceiving me that there is no one in Wei!"

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Ji's eyes widened in surprise, "It's unbelievable that Xu Jia, a Chinese doctor, can be bribed by Qi!" "I must be the arm of the old man Jia, who is loyal to the country. How can he be bribed? The one who is bribed must be the master of Jia." Wei Qi turned back and asked in a loud voice, "Old man, what is the name of that scribe?" The elder guarding under the porch immediately replied: "Report to the prime minister: Fan Ju." "A scribe, Prime Minister He Lao is angry." Wang Ji smiled, "Could it be possible that Le Yi killed all the scribes of the Qi State?"

"That's right!" Wei Qi laughed loudly, "It's so rare for the King of Qi to recognize this clerk as a great talent, send Tian Dan's parents to give him ten gold pieces and a carload of wine, and even exchange five cities for this little official, isn't it? Is it a big joke to slip the world?" "Where? How did the prime minister deal with this scribe?" "The old man just found out, but he hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet. Hey, could it be that the special envoy is also interested in this little official?" Suddenly, Wei Qi squeezed his old eyes and smiled mysteriously.Wang Ji laughed loudly: "Let's talk and talk, let's take my leave now." Wei Qi also burst out laughing: "Okay! I will let you meet the King of Wei some other day, and agree that Qin and Wei will be repaired." After some laughing, the old man sent Wang Ji to the gate of the house eagerly.At this time, the gatekeeper had specially invited Wang Jijin's car into the courtyard of the gate, so Wang Ji boarded the car behind the screen wall and drove away from the car door.Back at the post house at dusk, Wang Ji ate some food hastily, then came to the small study, wandering in thought, unable to figure out a clue for a while. Before leaving, King Qin specially had a secret talk with him.Although Wang Ji's official rank is not high and his talents are ordinary, he is an old man who has followed the King of Qin for more than forty years.When Qin Wang's mother and son were hostages in Yan State, Wang Ji was the accompanying manager.According to Qin law, unless he has made great contributions, his family members cannot be ministers.When the King of Qin came to the throne, he was given the official position of a "visitor".The visitor is the official who is in charge of the transmission of the emperor's letter. Strictly speaking, he is just an "official", not an "official".However, since this official is in charge of the affairs of the monarch, he is naturally a secret and important position with real power, and ordinary ministers do not treat him as an official.This visitor has been in power for twenty or thirty years. After the death of the Empress Dowager Xuan, the power of the King of Qin has gradually increased. Although he is not in charge, he can always appoint and dismiss his close officials according to his own wishes.Therefore, five years ago, King Qin specially bestowed the title of Doctor Wang Ji on the pretext of "going through hardships and being loyal and diligent in his work".Chang Shi is in charge of the monarch's affairs in an all-round way, and he was originally a first-class minister with real power.But because the King of Qin has not actually been in power yet, a group of ministers don't pay much attention to the long history at that time and don't care too much about it. Since the King of Qin insisted, Wei Xun, Huayang Lord, Gaoling Lord, Jingyang Lord and other dignified ministers also let go .However, after all, Wang Ji had limited talents, and he was especially bad at major literary affairs. After making a long history, he was still only in charge of specific affairs.Even so, King Qin's trust in him is still immeasurable, but he is depressed and always talks to him from time to time.This time before leaving for the secret talk, King Qin was unusually friendly and serious, but Wang Ji's heart sank as soon as King Qin opened his mouth.The king of Qin said, Wang Ji, what should you do if I let you be the visitor?Wang Ji had a dejected look on his face, the minister is incompetent, so I should let my king handle it.Thinking about it, this remark was extremely inappropriate, but King Qin didn't show any color, instead he laughed, Wang Ji, where did you think?I want to ask you to do a big thing, it's a last resort.Wang Ji hurriedly bowed and touched the ground, the minister is loyal and diligent to serve the king, how dare you treat me as a king?But the king has an order, and the minister will go through fire and water without hesitation!That's it!King Qin helped him up, and entrusted him with a secret plan that made him sigh. This secret plan is to go to the state of Wei as an envoy, secretly looking for famous scholars and great talents to enter Qin.King Qin made it very clear that the person I want must be a great talent who can be a prime minister. Duke Xiao has Shang Yang, King Hui has Zhang Yi, King Wu has Gan Mao, and the Empress Dowager has Wei Yan. I want such talents, you know?At that time, Wang Ji gasped and bowed in fear, I, Wang Mingcha: I am a mediocre person, how can I recognize such a great talent?Mistaking the king's important matter, even if the minister dies, it is not enough to bear it.King Qin laughed, what do you want to bear?Such things are originally the luck of the king and the country, and they are all about seeking with all one's heart. Who can guarantee success?Although you are not a great talent, you will not be jealous of burying a great talent, as long as you investigate carefully.People leave their names, and geese leave their voices.He is a celebrity and a great talent, so how can he not make a sound?In the end, the King of Qin patted Wang Ji on the shoulder earnestly and said, Wang Ji, without the talent of a prime minister, Yingji would never be able to govern himself, you know?It is a great contribution to accomplish this great event!Yingji please.It was this bow that made Wang Ji come to Wei State excitedly. Could it be that the fortune of the Great Qin Dynasty was so prosperous that he heard a talent story when he first arrived in Daliang? The scribe named Fan Ju was appreciated in Qi State, but it was extraordinary.Not to mention the witty and wise Qi Wang Tian Fazhang, and Tian Dan who has competed with the famous general Le Yi for six years. ?Wang Jizong didn't know people, but Tian Fazhang and Tian Dan always knew people. Maybe this Fan Ju could really be a famous scholar who was hidden among the retainers and small officials.Judging by Wei Qi's appearance, this scribe must be dealt with, how will he deal with it?Thinking about it, he would not be executed.As long as this person is there, Wang Ji believes that he can find out.In Daliang, as long as there is money, there are no secrets.On this mission, he not only brought a few treasures of the royal family, but also a secret edict from the King of Qin. He can borrow all kinds of money from the Qin Kingdom Trading Company in Daliang at any time, and he is worried that he can't find anyone he wants to see? However, such things should not be too hasty, otherwise it would be to scare the snake.Today there is a jade dragon with golden eyes, old Wei Qi talked a little too much, and that mysterious smile, it seems to say that if you want this person, the old man will give you in return.But Wang Ji was as clear as a mirror, if he really wanted it, that Fan Ju would not be able to get out of Wei State and would die!Wang Ji has no other talents, and he rarely makes mistakes in trying to figure out the thoughts of such dignitaries who love money and jewelry. This is why King Qin always trusts him: he is meticulous and meticulous in his work, and he never goes halfway.Look at that Wei Qi's demeanor, he is a domineering and powerful figure who can't tolerate others, but there are talents under this kind of person, he can't escape without you, he has to choose another master, hehe, kill you first and then talk!But because of this, Wang Ji could only laugh and go, making Wei Qi feel that he didn't care about such a small person at all.If the scribe was ignored, Wei Qi probably didn't care. "Where is the imperial censor?" After thinking for a long time, Wang Ji finally got a general understanding, and when he walked to the corridor of the study, he gave an order. A young and capable black-clothed civil official came upon hearing the sound. This is an arm specially selected for him by the King of Qin.Wang Ji whispered instructions to him, and the censor hurried away. The next day, Wang Ji left an entourage at the posthouse to wait for news from Wei Qi, but he himself changed into a scholar's uniform and wandered around the market.The state of Wei is the most prosperous in the Central Plains, and the people of the country have always had the style of gathering wine to discuss politics. However, the secrets of the palaces of the royal courts and the latest developments in various countries are freely flowing in the major wines all the time.It has been practiced for more than a hundred years. Whether you are a scholar or a business travel scout from various countries, when you come to Daliang, you must first wander around the famous wine shop to inquire about the latest news.Wang Ji was very familiar with Daliang, so he went straight to the most majestic "Central Plains Deer".This Central Plains Deer was secretly created by the prime minister of the royal family during the period of King Wei Hui, and it has been passed down for three generations. After entering the Central Plains Deer, Wang Ji did not enter the chess room and gambling workshop, which is the most lively place, but there are few talkers; he also did not enter the debate hall, where there is only competition for knowledge, but there is not much news.Wang Ji went straight to the Sanzuo hall and found a corner by the window to sit in. He asked for two princes of Chu State Lanling wine and a cauldron of Fengze elk stew, so he wasted his time.This Sanza hall is the first stop for all those who enter the Central Plains. Except for those who are dedicated to gambling and seeking chess and debates, they usually soak here for half a day to listen to the rumors from all sides, and then make any calculations.Wang Ji never had a playful mind, and when he was investigating things in Shangxin, he naturally chose this place to sit on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, after listening to it for half an hour, it was full of rumors about the struggle between Zhao and Qin, and the Mianchi Huimeng, Lin Xiangru's bravery to defeat the King of Qin, and Zhao's generals and myths were vividly told, and the surroundings were applauded.Wang Ji was tired of hearing it, and was about to pay the bill and leave, but suddenly saw three men in red clothes come in, and they also sat down by the window, which was actually a block away from Wang Ji.Judging by the color of their clothes and bearing, these three people looked like officials of Wei State, so Wang Ji sat down peacefully again.Seeing the three of them seated, they burst out laughing, and after drinking, they started laughing and chatting with each other. "Brother, think about it, besides the gin, what kind of benefits does that kid have?" "In my opinion, the current state of Qi is destitute and impoverished. Ten pieces of gold are already a lot of gold. It is difficult to sell more wealth." "Yes!" The third rough voice clapped the case, "It must be Xu Guan Xu Jue, win over that kid and vote!" "There's gold and jade, but there's ruin in it." The first person sneered, "The boy often underestimates us, but it turns out that he is a slut who can be bought for ten gold. It's really chilling." "Don't you know? That kid lives alone and alone, ten gold can buy two or three women!" The three of them burst out laughing, and then one of them said in a low voice: "Just say, can that kid still live?" "What a ghost! I saw him rolling his eyes and closing his breath, he looks quite scary." "So what if I'm alive?" said that cold voice again, "I can't walk if I have a broken rib, and I can't say if I have a broken tooth. Isn't it a waste?" "It's very pitiful to think about it!" The rough voice continued, "According to me, the three of us will accept this kid as a literary slave, feed him three meals of dog food every day, and let him draft the announcement for me, then The kid is talented, so it’s not a good thing for me to make meritorious deeds?" "Good idea!" One person took the case, "I have to beat him with twenty bamboo lashes every day, that kid looks down on me and my three brothers the least!" "It's not bad." The cold voice laughed, "Just don't let the prime minister know, you have to handle it quietly. Brother Wen first went to the prime minister's mansion to check on the boy's whereabouts, and brother Hu went to his house to see if he was dead or alive. The prime minister is thinking, do you want to track down this kid? If the prime minister wants to pursue him for a capital crime, we will have to bear the pain and give up." "A dignified prime minister, can he hold on to a petty official?" The rough voice disapproved. "But how do you know?" The cold voice was instructive, "The prime minister is always ruthless, but who is still alive when he punishes his subordinates? There is also that Xujia, a poisonous scorpion, whoever bites will die! The prime minister believes that Him, can I provoke you?" "That's right, it has to be reliable as Brother Yi said." "Okay! Listen to Brother Yi." The thick voice laughed and beat the table, "I just train the dog Wennu!" After drinking for a while, the three of them hurried away.Wang Ji was so moved that he immediately went back to the post house and sent six capable officials to Daliang's official residence to inquire about Fan Ju's news.For three days in a row, nothing happened.The official of the prime minister's mansion who was bribed said that that person had long since disappeared, and the prime minister was also inquiring about the whereabouts of this person.After asking almost all the streets and alleys of the houses, no one knows about Fan Ju, which is incredible. At this time, Wei Qi sent officials to inform Wang Ji, and the next day he met with King Wei to negotiate and repair the alliance.Wang Ji had no choice but to put this matter on hold and deal with King Wei with all his strength.After three or four days of deliberation, the text of the covenant was finally finalized. Wang Ji sent a fast-horse envoy to send the covenant back to Xianyang to be sealed by the King of Qin, and he himself waited for an answer in Daliang.At this time, the capable censor returned to the Daliang post house from Linzi, and reported to Wang Jibei the news he had heard from the state of Qi—— In Linzi, the censor found a merchant who often bought Qin iron from the commercial company for the state of Qi through the Qin State Trading Company. Proven, it's true. The special envoy sent by the State of Wei was Xu Jia, a Chinese doctor.Xu Jia had a retainer named Fan Ju. Because Fan Ju was quite talented and was Xu Jia's copywriting arm, Xu Jia invited Fan Ju to be a clerk in the prime minister's mansion, and he was regarded as a government official in name.When Xu Jia arrived in Linzi, he was very arrogant. When he met Tian Dan, the emperor of Anping, he openly laughed at Tian Dan's mansion, which was as simple as a big beam cowshed.Tian Dan just smiled indifferently, he did not rely on the dangers of the mountains and rivers to build a country, and did not rely on the prestige of his family when dealing with politics. Does the Chinese doctor know who said this?Xu Jia scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, so the clerk behind him answered loudly, this is the famous saying of Wu Qi, the general of Wei Guo, that Mr. Anping respects Wei Guo, and Wei Guo should also respect Qi Guo!Tian Dan was very pleased, he bowed to the scribe, your words broke the true meaning of diplomatic relations and Tian Dan's heart, dare you ask your name to be honored?Xu Jia said angrily, he was just a scribe, and it would be impolite for Mr. Anping to make such a noise!Mr. Anping laughed out loud, Tian Dan would certainly admire Mr. Fangcai if the special envoy had seen it.Xu Jia was so angry that he glared at Fan Ju a few times, his face turned pale. When Jin met King Qi, Xu Jia didn't want to take Fan Ju with him anymore, but he was helpless and afraid that he would encounter difficulties, so he deliberately asked Fan Ju to accompany him with a gift box and acted as a waiter.When he arrived outside the palace, he happened to meet Tian Dan again, but Tian Dan ignored Xu Jia, and only bowed to the waiter holding the gift box. The gentleman was originally a famous scholar Fan Ju, Tian Dan was polite.The waiter only smiled faintly, Fan Ju did not dare to be called a celebrity, and he would not reciprocate the courtesy because of state affairs.There was no sign of being flattered.Tian Dan solemnly bowed his hands and said, Mr. Jiu Wen is a great talent and knowledgeable, Tian Dan should choose another day to teach, please spare the time.Fan Ju said, today the envoys are paying homage to the King of Qi, don't talk about politics, don't listen to politics, please forgive me.Tian Dan just smiled, Mr. is indeed a national scholar.Doctor Xu Jia, please. Xu Jia was very dissatisfied with Tian Dan when he thought of talking to him at this moment, and his face turned red. Fan Ju was only a small official accompanying him, and Mr. Anping loved him so much, what did he mean?Tian Dan, on the other hand, said honestly, the middle school officials are poor, and a person's talent does not decrease because of his humble position, nor does it increase because of his high position, how could Tian Dan dare to treat his husband as inferior and ignore him indifferently?Xu Jia was even more angry at Tian Dan for calling him a doctor instead of a special envoy, and entered the palace with a flick of his sleeves. The arrogant Xu Jia didn't know that his mission was mediocre, and when he saw the King of Qi, he asked, how can the Qi State and our great Wei be reconciled?Qi Wang Tian Fazhang laughed out loud, I am on good terms with Wei Guo?The special envoy is really funny!Wei State participated in the war of the Five Kingdoms to destroy Qi. Now that Qi has defeated and restored the country, Wei State himself wants to repair Qi with us. How can Qi become better than Wei?The envoy drank too much.As he spoke, his face darkened.If so, Nasu Jia is still arrogant, he is arrogant and arrogant, the country is poor, how can we talk about the power of victory.Before he finished speaking, he was sternly reprimanded by Tian Dan, asking Jia to be presumptuous!Although my Great Qi is not as rich as it used to be, it has an army of 400,000 today!Xu Jia Jiantian pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was speechless with his eyes wide open. At this time, Fan Ju, who was following Xu Jia, put the gift box on the side case, and bowed his head: "Mr. Anping, this is not a way of diplomatic relations." Tian Dan bowed his hands solemnly: "What do you say to these envoys, sir?" "Fan Ju said: "The interests of the country are not what the envoys say. The way of diplomatic relations is based on the interests of each other, supplemented by the morality of the world. Those who sacrifice interests for morality are corrupt Confucians who govern the country. Those who want to make friends with each other are also isolated. If you want to have a good relationship with each other, you think that the combination of interests and morality is the most important. Qi and Wei are adjacent to each other, and they are both big countries. Qi has the prestige of victory. It must rest in peace and consolidate the foundation. Although the Wei State has not suffered such a catastrophe, but the strong Zhao Rutai is on the top of the north, and the strong Qin is seizing Hanoi in the west. The two strong forces are attacking, and the Wei State has no time to take care of it. At this time, Wei Each of the two great states of Qi puts mutual peace as the top priority. This is the original intention of the envoys to come here to repair the situation. I hope that the king of Qi and Lord Anping will put the interests of the two countries at the top of the list, don’t talk about small gaps, and the overall security is the top priority.” Before Tian Dan opened his mouth, the King of Qi slapped the table and laughed, if there were such envoys, what would the husband say?Tian Dan thought for a moment and then said, Doctor Jia, please reply to the King of Wei and the Prime Minister of Wei Qi.However, Wei Guo had to return the ten cities captured by the Five Kingdoms when they attacked Qi within one year.That stupid Xu Jia just hummed angrily and said that he knew it, so he poked in the hall and stopped talking.King Qi gave Xu Jia a hard look, and then flung his sleeves away. On that night, Xu Jia was hosting a banquet at the posthouse, when a car slammed into the courtyard.Xu Jia was overjoyed and ran out in small steps, thinking that it must be Tian Dan or a high-ranking official of the Qi State who came to visit him.The officials who didn't want to walk in front of the ox cart asked directly, is Mr. Fan Ju there?Fan Ju was invited to drink by Xu Jia as an exception this night, and he came out to answer immediately after hearing the sound, I am Fan Ju, who are you?The person who came came with a long bow, Mr. Anping was in charge of the book, and I was ordered by Mr. Anping to please come over to the mansion for a talk.Fan Ju cupped his hands and said, please reply to Mr. Anping. As an attache of the state envoy, Fan Ju is inconvenient to communicate with each other in private outside of official business. If there is a chance in the future, he should have a long drink.The envoy thought for a while, Mr. Daosheng took care, and then drove away in a cart, but he never said a word to Xu Jia.Xu Jia couldn't hold his breath when he saw it, but he yelled loudly with the smell of alcohol all over his body, what a Fan Ju!Then there was no more to say, and he went to drink alone in a fit of anger. At this point, the matter may be over. After all, Fan Ju saved Xu Jia from the crisis of diplomatic relations again and again. Even though Xu Jia was sour, he would not be as vicious as later.Just when the envoys of the State of Wei left Linzi, the envoys of the King of Qi sent a special palace envoy to drive an ox cart, and specially gave Fan Ju ten yi of gold and twenty barrels of Qi wine. Wang sweeps the couch and waits.Fan Ju replied openly and squarely, that diplomatic relations are proper and envoys are virtuous, even though King Qi respects the virtuous, Fan Ju should strictly abide by the laws of the country and dare not accept rewards from King Qi.After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the ranks of the entourage, and never said a word to anyone in Qi State. "Special envoy Mingcha, this is the story of Fan Ju's whereabouts in Qi, and I have not missed anything."
