Chapter 54 In the fourth quarter, the great talent and opportunity change Wei Qi

Hanoi was defeated, Zhang Yi did not rest for a while, and immediately went east to Hangu Pass to strike while the iron is hot. At this time, Shandong was deeply terrified, the coalition forces collapsed on their own, and the six kingdoms fell into disputes over mutual accusations.Zhang Yi told King Hui of Qin that he must take this opportunity to destroy the foundation of He Zong in one fell swoop, so as not to revive He Zong!Qin Huiwang only said one sentence: "Qing is the prime minister of the kaifu, but you can do things freely." He also added Zhang Yi's thousand cavalry guards and a special envoy guard of honor to increase Zhang Yi's prestige.Zhang Yi comprehensively weighed the general situation of the six countries, and the first goal was to go straight to Wei State.

The market in Daliang is depressed, and the people of the country are in panic, and the prosperity and prosperity of the past have completely disappeared.During the Warring States Period, people were used to being numb to wars, and it was common for tens of thousands of people to be killed or injured in World War I.Moreover, for the wealthy and powerful Wei State, the loss of 60,000 infantry was not enough to panic the government and the public.But the destruction of Ao Cang was a huge blow to Wei Guo!Eighty-nine tenths of Wei's grain and materials are stored there. Since Li Kui implemented the Ping Tiao Law, Ao Cang has been a treasure house for Wei Guomin to relieve disasters and famines.Today, seventy-eight out of ten of the food and supplies were destroyed by the fire, the entire Aoshan Mountain was surrounded by floods, and all the nearby ferries were destroyed, and the flood flowed to the outside of Daliang City.As a result, the price of goods in the entire Wei country soared tenfold within ten days, and the price of grain increased even more every day, which was unstoppable.The private grain warehouses were simply closed, and they planned to leave the remaining grain at home for the day.Although the government's grain store tried its best to support it, it couldn't hold back the people's rush to buy it. Although it was not closed, it seemed that there was no food to go on the market.Seeing that the north wind was getting stronger and the winter season was approaching, the people of Daliang who had never worried about the shortage of grain and rice, and rarely stored grain, felt panic for the first time.People ran around to collect food debts, and those who owed food did everything possible to hide their debts. More Daliang people left the city and went to the countryside to buy food secretly.All of a sudden, Daliang, the commercial city that made Wei people look down on the world, was so chaotic that everyone lost their space!

King Wei Xiang was so angry that he kept a gloomy face all day long and didn't speak. People depend on food, and the country depends on food.There is no food in the country warehouse, which is more terrible than any disaster.Given the current situation, without millions of grains and rice, it is difficult to solve this catastrophe.However, winter is approaching, where to get so much food in a hurry?Originally, the six countries had a covenant: after the war, the other five countries would repay the military rations and supplies provided by the Wei State, and the Wei State would benefit a lot.But now that the army has been defeated, the coalition forces have dispersed, and even the commander-in-chief Zi Lan has abandoned the army and fled. Su Qin, the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, has quietly returned to the Kingdom of Yan, but who to ask for food in the Five Kingdoms?Even if you want to ask for it, given Wei's current situation, it is very possible for the Five Kingdoms to fall into trouble. Who will accept this account?Borrow food from small and medium vassal states?In the past, they were often bullied by Wei Guo, and they avoided them for fear of being too late. Who can give them help in a timely manner?Having no idea, King Wei Xiang had no choice but to convene a few trusted ministers for a secret discussion. Some people advocated that Lord Xinling be summoned, but King Wei Xiang shook his head again and again.

After discussing in the secret hall for a whole day, no one could come up with a good solution.King Wei Xiang got angry for no reason, and shouted angrily at the table: "Everyone is high-ranked and richly paid. When things come to an end, one of them is useless! Go down!" At this time, Prime Minister Hui Shi suddenly said loudly: "Wei Wang, my minister has idea." "What's the idea? Say it quickly!" King Wei Xiang was extremely impatient. "Attack Luoyang and seize the royal granary!" Everyone in the hall was stunned, but no one responded.Hui Shi said proudly: "On the verge of danger, how can we just wait for destruction?"

Situ said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It's not appropriate to move lightly at this time." King Wei Xiang's eyes wandered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Go, go, idiots are dreaming." He knew in his heart that raising troops at this time is tantamount to picking chestnuts from the fire. Calling all nations to join hands to destroy Wei? When the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom were running around in panic, the palace gate urgently reported: "Qin Guocheng Prime Minister Zhang Yi, please see my king—!" "Zhang Yi?" King Wei Xiang was shocked: "What does he intend to do?"

Hui Shi hurriedly said: "No matter what you want to do? My king can't wait too long." King Wei Xiang suddenly came to his senses and waved his sleeves: "Let's go! Follow me to meet you." After a serious welcome ceremony, Zhang Yi stepped on the thick red carpet and entered Wei Palace side by side with King Wei Xiang.Seeing Zhang Yi followed by two handsome and handsome guards with swords, Hui Shi wanted to say several times that guards with swords cannot enter the palace, but seeing that King Wei Xiang and the minister in charge were unaware of it, he swallowed it back abruptly.After all, Zhang Yi, the evil god, cannot be offended, and if he is provoked, what is the point of raising troops to attack Wei at this time?

For Zhang Yi, King Wei Xiang has been famous for a long time. When he was the prince, he witnessed Zhang Yi's verbal battle with Mencius and was kicked out of the palace by his father.Later, I vaguely heard that Zhang Yi died in Chu State.I didn't want Zhang Yi to appear out of nowhere after Su and Qin joined forces, and as soon as he came out, he was the prime minister of Qin.At the beginning, no one paid any attention to it, they all said that this Wei Guobu's clothes are usually tight.After serving as the Ao Cangling, he became the forefather of the chieftain. He even laughed loudly: "What is Zhang Yi? A downtrodden commoner who asked me to wait for a small official." Unexpectedly, it was exactly This Zhang Yi, determined to make continuous and long-term strategies, shook Chu State in one fell swoop, and then defeated the Allied Forces of the Six Nations.The story of Zhang Yi's surprise attack on Aocang was passed down by the people of the market in Daliang in a very miraculous and terrifying way.The strange thing is that few people scolded Zhang Yi, but they all said that this was God's revenge for King Wei's ignorance!Thinking about it now, if there was Zhang Yi, why would Wei Guo be here?King Wei Xiang couldn't figure it out, such a great talent who turned the world around, how could his father sweep it away like dung?And right under the watchful eyes of Wei Guo's courtiers?Thinking about it carefully, I was on the spot back then, so why did I ever think of dissuading my father?

Today, Zhang Yi is majestic, but the monarch and ministers of the Wei Kingdom are all careful to watch his face.That Mr. Si Tu who laughed at Zhang Yi never dared to meet Zhang Yi face to face.King Wei Xiang felt sour in his heart, and after sitting down, he suddenly fell into a trance. "May I ask the Prime Minister, did you pass through the Kingdom of Wei? Or did you come here on a special trip?" Prime Minister Hui Shi hurriedly intervened. "Zhang Yi was ordered by King Qin to make a special trip to repair Qin and Wei." Zhang Yi was straightforward. The hall was stunned and silent!Although there is no fear of Qin's attack, but I don't know how to deal with this sudden "Qin and Wei repairs"?The old enemy of Qin and Wei, Wei State's diplomatic relations with Qin State, in addition to the continuous siege and military confrontation, how many times have they thought of reconciling with this world-renowned enemy who was first barbarian and then tiger wolf?Even if they were defeated this time, the king and ministers of Wei State were only afraid that Qin State would take advantage of the situation to attack and treat Zhang Yi courteously.Just because it was unimaginable, when Zhang Yi said it at the first glance, the monarch and ministers of Wei State were completely numb.

After a long time, King Wei Xiang said: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, yes, but what are the conditions?" "The king of Wei is a wise man." Zhang Yi said with a calm smile, "We just need to stop participating in the alliance. As a matter of fact, the alliance did not bring any benefits to the Wei state. What it brought was only a catastrophe." disaster." King Wei Xiang sighed: "The king of Qin is very kind, the prime minister is kind, and Wei Si accepts it. It's just that the whole country is panicking now. Let's take it easy to fix things."

"Can the King of Wei tell you where the troubles are for the State of Wei?" "The prime minister's mind is as clear as a mirror. The great famine and famine in the Wei state is imminent. How can we take care of it? Please tell the king of Qin, but just relax." "To survive the famine, how much grain does Wei need?" Zhang Yi just smiled. "Where is Situ?" Wei Xiangwang suddenly said loudly: "Xianzhen, tell the prime minister where your duties are." The ancestor who was hiding behind Hui Shi broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that King Wei wanted to use himself to please Zhang Yi?Heartbroken, he stepped out, and bowed deeply to Zhang Yi: "Mr. Xiaoli, I offended the prime minister in the past, please forgive me." Zhang Yi laughed and supported the prime minister: "Si Tu Serious words, old friends, why should I blame me? The old story between you and me, we will talk about it in another day, but please talk about the state affairs first." Xianyu immediately lost his panic, and said, "There are no millions of grains and rice. It is difficult for Wei to solve the famine." Zhang Yi said generously: "If the two countries are repaired well, the difficulty of Wei will be the difficulty of Qin. Qin will send 1,200,000 hu of grain, how about it?"

"Is this true?" King Wei Xiang cheered up suddenly, and stood up abruptly. Zhang Yi burst out laughing: "Break on your word and get rich, how can Zhang Yi face the world? I will write a book and ask the King of Wei to send a special envoy to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang immediately to see Prime Minister You Liji, and handle the matter of food transportation." King Xiang of Wei bowed deeply to Zhang Yi: "The Prime Minister is very kind, and Wei Si will remember it in his heart." Zhang Yi hurriedly helped King Xiang of Wei and said with a smile, "Zhang Yi is originally from Wei, and his hometown is in trouble, so how can he watch?" King Wei Xiang said loudly to the ministers in the palace: "Show the government and the people: Qin State borrowed food from me to solve our country's difficulties. From then on, Wei and Qin have repaired each other. If anyone talks about collaborating again, he will be killed without mercy!" The courtiers sighed with emotion and nodded their heads in agreement.Prime Minister Hui Shi asked himself to be a special envoy and went to Xianyang immediately.Si Tuxian asked himself to be the minister of supervision and transportation, and hurriedly went to collect the ox carts.All the ministers felt that they had solved their crisis and rushed to do things. For a while, they were extremely efficient, as if they were brought back to life. With the source of grain and rice, King Wei Xiang had the courage to hold a grand banquet called "Two Strong Repairs" at Mingyue Island in the Great Lakes of the Palace that night.The Minister of Rites of the State of Wei gave full play to Daliang's tradition of wealth and ostentation. More than 2,000 wind lanterns were hung all over the waterside trees, the scenery of lakes and mountains, and the sound of elegant songs. flooded country.Zhang Yi was very upset, and by going to the toilet, he stood alone on the bamboo corridor, looking at the sparkling light under the lights, and felt a little dazed. "The prime minister is very interested, here is just the right time to see the night view of the palace." "Oh, it was the king of Wei, and Zhang Yi was about to leave." "Please wait a moment." King Wei Xiang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, would you like to return to the Kingdom of Wei? Do you want to be Prime Minister as well?" Zhang Yi was startled, and quickly smiled and said, "Why did King Wei say that? Zhang Yi is a minister of Qin." "Su Qin can be the prime minister of the six countries, why can't the prime minister also be the prime minister of Wei?" King Wei Xiang was obviously excited about his new appearance, and said urgently: "If this is the case, one can redeem the big mistakes of the father, and the other It is conducive to the long-term repair of Qin and Wei, and kills two birds with one stone." Zhang Yi smiled: "Although the king of Wei has good intentions, I'm afraid Zhang Yi won't have the time." "Don't miss the prime minister's plan." King Wei Xiang said with a smile: "The prime minister only cares about the important affairs of state relations, and doesn't have to stay in Wei State all the time." "Then, this salary mansion?" "This king knows it well." King Wei Xiang suddenly became a little reserved: "Qin's official salary is too low, how can the people of Wei get used to it? This king has set a first-class salary for the prime minister, a mansion, and another mansion in the prime minister's former residence in Anyi; If you have made great achievements, this king will definitely grant the prime minister 20,000 households within a hundred miles, how about that?" "Okay!" Zhang Yi smiled contentedly: "But with rich clothes and good food, Zhang Yi should serve for the King of Wei." "Of course, yes, Zhang Qing is a man of understanding!" King Wei Xiang also smiled contentedly. In the early morning of this day, Zhang Yi was washing and washing, and King Wei Xiang sent a servant to deliver a secret letter.Ying Hua opened it and looked at it, and smiled to himself: "Hey! The king of Wei picked it up. Listen, Zhang Yi, my dear: but stay in Liang for ten days, and receive the seal of the official salary of the prime minister's mansion, and then decide what to do—" Ying Hua Drawn a long tone.Fei Yun, who was arranging the morning tea, said: "Hey, it was like a wilting grass yesterday, and two drops of dew started to shake?" Zhang Yi shook her head and said with a smile: "This is Wei Si. No wonder old Mencius is nagging everywhere, saying that he is not Like a monarch, people can't respect you." Ying Hua said: "How do I return him? Do I have to wait for the prime minister's seal?" Zhang Yi said: "I do what I do, what's the matter with him?" After morning tea, Zhang Yi sent Ying Hua to send a farewell letter to King Wei Xiang, and then set off first.When Ying Hua caught up, Zhang Yi had already left the welcome and see-off pavilion outside the east gate of Daliang.Ying Hua walked beside the carriage, and detailed the surprise and disappointment of King Wei Xiang, saying that Zhang Yi must turn the road and pass through Daliang when returning, and accept the prime minister's seal.Zhang Yi said with a smile: "In the world, there are monarchs like Wei Si and his son who only believe in the power of the salary and official residence. What a pity. It should be a good state of Wei." Ying Hua said: "Is it a pity that you are done? When you come to Qi, say Maybe it’s even more of a pity.” Zhang Yi shook her head and said, “However, Qi’s Tian Bijiang is much more difficult to deal with than Wei Si.” Ying Hua smiled and said, “I think you are the most difficult to deal with.” Zhang Yi couldn’t help but lol. Although the Wei Qi official road is thousands of miles away, the road is smooth and smooth.The official road goes straight to the northeast along the Jishui River Valley, and several small countries along the way have never dared to set up roadblocks on the official road between these two big countries, let alone block the tiger wolf Qin's special envoy convoy.On the contrary, every time they arrive at the border of a small country, there will be envoys who buy wine to greet and see them off at the border, speak some big and useless official words, express that they dare not offend, and so on.Zhang Yi simply dealt with it, rewarding the envoys with a hundred gold and giving the monarch a pair of Lantian jade bis.Although there was a slight delay, it was on the fifth day that he arrived at the section where Jishui entered the sea. After walking southeast along the official road in the Lishui River Valley for half a day, he saw the archery tower of Linzi City in the distance. The forward scout flew to report: "Report to the Prime Minister: There are ministers to welcome you at the Linzi Suburb Pavilion!" As the chariots and horses approached the suburban pavilion, a bronze cart with a six-foot hood came rattling and flying. A man in red clothes, a high crown and a jade pendant jingled, clapping his hands in the distance and saying: "Meng Changjun Tianwen, welcome the prime minister!" The voice fell, He had already jumped out of the car and strode up to meet him. Zhang Yi was a little surprised. As an envoy, Mr. Meng Chang sent out to welcome him, and he obviously still participated in the state affairs. This king of Qi, Tian Bijiang, is really smarter than Wei Si!He also stopped to get out of the car, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard about Meng Changjun's name for a long time, and he is indeed a hero." He clasped four hands, and Meng Changjun laughed loudly: "Being killed by others, you are still a hero? A bear!" Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Who dares to say that Mr. Mengchang is not a hero?" Mr. Mengchang sighed, "Tian Wen had to submit to the Qin army's battle, especially the prime minister's surprise attack on Aocang, which is unimaginable!" Zhang Yi laughed: "Don't dare The merit of greedy heaven is that Sima wrongly strategized and Zhang Yi galloped around." Meng Changjun praised loudly: "Good! The prime minister is magnanimous, and Tian Wen likes such a character! Please get on the chariot, prime minister." As soon as Zhang Yi got into the car, Meng Changjun jumped on the shaft and said to the driver: "Get down, I will drive." The driver looked at Ying Hua who was riding beside the car and did not dare to get out of the car. Ying Hua was about to politely decline Meng Changjun, but Zhang Yi was bold He said with a smile: "Mr. Meng Chang's driving skills are superb. It's rare to have such a sense of elegance, but Zhang Yi is disrespectful." Mr. Meng Chang laughed: "Tian Wen once drove for the prime ministers of six countries, why can't he drive for the prime ministers of two countries?" Zhang Yi said: "Mr. Meng Chang, the news is so fast. Jun Mengchang laughed again: "Nowadays, anyone who doesn't keep an eye on Su Qin and Zhang Yi will feel uneasy!" Before he could say a word, the car started to rattle and flew towards Linzi like lightning. The strategist court meeting was being held in the main hall of the royal palace, and the debate was so lively that it turned red in the face. When he was the crown prince, Tian Bijiang regarded himself as a celebrity, and often went to Jixia Academy under a pseudonym to debate with those celebrities.After becoming a king, one of the most important things for Tian Bijiang was to expand the scale of the academy and invite scholars and celebrities from all over the world to come to the academy to give lectures and study.Every time a celebrity enters the Jixia Academy, all of them will be given six entrances to the mansion above the standard of a doctor, with an annual salary of 5,000 shi.In the period of King Qi Wei, only a master of learning like Mencius could enjoy the six-entry mansion.In King Qi Wei's later years, the Jixia Academy had already withered its talents, but within a few years after Tian Bijiang took the throne, the Jixia Academy revived vigorously.Celebrities who left before, such as Shen Dao, Zou Yan, Chunyu Kun, Tian Pian, Xu Xing, etc. returned, and new celebrities such as Xun Kuang, Jieyu, Huanyuan, Tian Ba, Xu Jie, Zhuang Xin, etc. also came to vote. There are so many talented people in time, there are seventy-six people who enjoy the courtesy of the senior doctor, and there are as many as thousands of students, and King Xuan of Qi has a great literary name. But Tian Bijiang was very strange. He never made officials for these celebrities, but only let them participate in the discussion of state affairs.This is the well-known saying in the world that "there is no cure".Every time there was a major event, King Xuan of Qi summoned those first-class celebrities and masters to discuss it. He and several ministers in charge just listened, neither expressed their views, nor participated in the discussions.It is often arguing all day long, unable to agree on what to do, and in the end, it just breaks up when it breaks up.Lord Mengchang felt strange and asked: "My king Jingri listens to the discussions of celebrities. Why don't they let them serve as rulers? Isn't it better than those mediocre officials?" King Qi Xuan said with a smile: "If you raise three thousand followers, this king will raise them." Don't you have three thousand famous scholars? Why don't Qing's disciples become officials?" Meng Changjun suddenly laughed and said: "I will understand today that Jixia's students are my king's disciples!" King Xuan of Qi laughed. Today's "menke" court meeting is to discuss a big topic: how to deal with Qin after Hanoi's defeat?How to deal with Zhang Yi coming together?Thirty-six famous scholars from various factions discussed for a whole day, but the more they discussed, the more they disagreed, and finally they put on a debate posture, and they quarreled in the hall. A few master-level old celebrities said: Qin Ben's barbarians are weak, so why is it surprising that they suddenly broke out for a few years?Wei State was stronger than Chu State, even South Korea was stronger than South Korea, and Qi State was always strong. Why is Du Du so afraid of Qin State's momentary strength?Want to unite the six countries to fight against Qin?It's completely disturbing the people and the country, it's superfluous!Zou Yan, the order of the old school palace, summed it up in one sentence: "Instead of cooperating and laboring the people, how can we accumulate national power and wait for changes? In less than five years, Qin will fall into chaos and decline. It has been like this since the Warring States period!" The cutting-edge celebrities objected fiercely, saying: The foundation of the Qin State has been established, and its ambition is to destroy the six countries. At the same time, we must reform the law and strengthen the country, so that the country will not be destroyed!Xun Kuang, who was less than 30 years old, was the most straightforward: "Although Qin is an enemy country, it should be the teacher of the six countries. Learning from Qin and resisting Qin is a great strategy for today!" The old celebrities roared with laughter, their sharp sarcasm interspersed with old-fashioned admonitions, and they rushed forward one after another. The cutting-edge people were divided into two factions when they came forward to argue.Tian Ba, a well-known debater, severely reprimanded the theory of "learning from Qin", and believed that "the key to resisting Qin is to do the opposite!" Xun Kuang retorted: "Do the opposite? Could it be you Tian Ba Do you want to restore the kingly way and become a disciple of Mencius?" The old famous scholars also split up in the refutation of Xun Kuang, and the old Legalist famous scholars were so grateful that they "learned from Qin and resisted Qin" and said impassionedly: "The Legalists saved Qin. , why can’t the world be saved? The truth of learning from Qin lies in the rule of law by the legalists, and the best policy!” Therefore, the old and new entanglement, and the disputes between various schools, turned out to be a living school of warring states. King Xuan of Qi listened for a long time, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.He was already tired of these celebrities talking about this and that, and because some people often quoted scriptures, most of what they said was incomprehensible, and it was even more pointless.After listening to it, it is still that Xun Kuang speaks hard and has no scriptures, so "learn from Qin and resist Qin" is also a way.However, so many people opposed the siege of Xun Kuang, and King Xuan of Qi was confused again. Can he be called clever for a strategy that everyone criticizes?As the king of a great country, he cannot balance all parties. After all, is it impossible to carry out? "Report to my king: Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin, has arrived." King Xuan of Qi was in a state of confusion, and when he heard the old servant's report, he stood up and walked out.This situation has happened several times in the past, and the famous people took advantage of the situation to disperse, but when they heard that Zhang Yi had arrived, none of the famous people in Jixia moved. Zhang Yi's ability and demeanor, even a group of cutting-edge men discussed in low voices, guessing the difference between Zhang Yi and Su Qin. At this moment, King Xuan of Qi and Jun Mengchang walked in with a person on the left and right.The man walked in the middle, talking and laughing, wearing a black cloak, a six-inch black jade crown, a beard, and a stalwart figure. A slightly lame left leg made his footsteps a little imperceptible.However, it was precisely this incompleteness that exuded a unique charm of vicissitudes and fortitude in his whole demeanor, and he had an unshakable atmosphere!Not only did the celebrities in Jixia not ridicule at all, but they showed a bit of admiration in their silent gaze. Seeing that the celebrities did not leave, King Xuan of Qi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled as soon as he changed his mind, turned to Zhang Yi and said with a smile: "These are all celebrities from Jixia, and they were discussing the way of scholarship with this king just now." Turning around and shouting Said: "Everyone, this is the famous Prime Minister of Qin State, Zhang Yi!"King Xuan of Qi smiled and said, "Sir, please take a seat." Jun Mengchang let Zhang Yi into the long table on the left hand side of the king's case, and sat on the right hand side of the king's case himself. "Dare to ask the king of Qi, if we want to ask the prime minister for advice, is it possible?" Debater Tian Ba ​​asked loudly. "But it's up to the prime minister." Qi Xuanwang looked at Zhang Yi with a smile. Zhang Yi said: "It's a good fortune to meet you, so it's up to you as a guest." "In Xiatianba, I dare to ask you sir: Qin is bullying the world and is extremely rampant. Doesn't the prime minister think it is against the law of heaven?" Zhang Yi smiled leisurely: "I have heard for a long time that the famous people in Jixia are well-informed, why are they so closed-eyed? At the beginning, those who planned to carve up Qin were the six kingdoms of Shandong; those who surrounded Qin with heavy troops were the six kingdoms of Shandong; merchants blocked Qin The kingdoms are the six kingdoms of Shandong. Today, the six kingdoms of Shandong are still the ones who lock Qin in the vertical direction; the six kingdoms of Shandong are the ones who attack Qin with an army of 480,000. Who is bullying the weak? Who is so rampant? Isn't it obvious?" "In Xiahuanyuan. Qin State vainly wants to rule the world, and Mr. Zhang's eyes for the wolf's ambition. This is what the family learned?!" Zhang Yi laughed: "To rule the world is the ambition of a wolf? It's really a legend! The world is unified and then peaceful, and the world is divided and there is war. But this is the case, all China regards the one who ruled the world as the holy king and hero, who will last forever. With the strange talk of Huanyuan, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Shang Dynasty Tang Zhouwu, isn’t that also a wolf’s ambition? Looking at today, which country does not want to dominate the world? Wei has tried, Chu has tried, and Qi has even tried. Although they all failed, people of insight appreciate their courage. And ambition. Qin is also trying hard now, why is it being reviled? The unification of China is the ancient righteous way, but all people of insight, no matter what they learn, should work hard in time to help the great cause of unification. Zhang Yi is no exception. And take this as the supreme glory! Could it be that the study of Huanyuan is the study of restoration and division only? The study of being able to oppose unification?" In a short while, the two young celebrities who were full of anger returned home, and the hall was stunned and silent for a while.Suddenly, a person said loudly: "I accept this, sir, what do you want to do?" "Qin Qi has repaired well, how can there be others?" "What's the benefit of aligning the country with Qin Xiu?" Zhang Yi teased and said with a smile: "Dare to ask sir, what are the benefits of joining forces with the Six Kingdoms?" "Establish the foundation of our country, protect our country, and Daqi will never perish!" "Sir, what you said is so absurd!" Zhang Yi said seriously, "If unity is the foundation of a country, how can Qin be so strong? When Qi was strong, why did it ever cooperate with others? He didn't think about working hard, but blindly The fate of the country is tied to the chariot of other families, is this the way of Jixia Academy to strengthen the country?" A man in yellow clothes and a high crown shouted angrily: "Xiazhuang Xin. Mr. has been the prime minister of Qin State and then the prime minister of Wei State. He has both ends of the head, and he eats inside and outside. Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh and scold you?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Zhuang Xin is a wonderful person! Mr. is from Chu, but he works in Qi State. Could it be that he is eating at both ends? The six countries are united, and Su Qin wears the seal of the six countries. Isn't it like eating at home? Six ends of the first rat? I Qin State is planning to ask Lord Mengchang to be a chancellor. Could it be that Lord Mengchang also wants to eat the two ends of the first rat? I am in the Warring States period, but I don’t know the affairs of the Warring States period, sir is so chaotic.” When the famous scholars in Jixia were in a state of embarrassment, there was one person who calmly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Xun Kuang. The reform of the Qin State is the right way to strengthen the country and the teacher of the world. Dare to ask, sir: Is the Qin State trying to disrupt the six countries? Seize the opportunity to reform and make yourself the dominant one?" Zhang Yi saw that this man was honest and stable, and that the question was approached in the right way, so he couldn't help but bowed his hands in awe and said: "The key of Lianheng is that the two countries should not invade each other and live together together. Qin will definitely not interfere in the state affairs of its allies. How can they disturb the affairs of the allies? Since ancient times Since then, all those who disrupt the country have been within the Xiaoqiang. I will not disrupt myself. Who will disturb me? I will not destroy myself. Who will destroy me? If you really want to change the law, it is Qin, so what can I do?" "So, sir, aren't you afraid that your allies will compete with Qin?" "Although the world is big, only those who live in Taoism live in it. If you reform the law uprightly and compete with Qin State upright, you will be a heroic state. If you don't have the courage to fight against such an opponent, Qin State will just perish. How can there be any other!" Xun Kuang bowed solemnly: "Qin's magnanimity can tolerate the world, and Qi and Qin are well-established, and Xun Kuang agrees with it!" The hall was stunned!No one would have thought that Xun Kuang would openly agree with Qin Qi's repair, but strangely, no one questioned him anymore.King Xuan of Qi woke up suddenly, laughed and said, "The prime minister is eloquent! He is eloquent! Mr. Mengchang, hold a big banquet to clean up the dust for the prime minister." During the staggering of toasts and cups at this grand banquet, the celebrities in Jixia competed with Zhang Yi one after another, but King Xuan of Qi kept whispering to Lord Mengchang.During the two-hour banquet, Zhang Yi just drank and talked, and entertained whoever came up, and didn't even say a word related to the mission. The next day, King Xuan of Qi formally summoned Zhang Yi, accompanied by Lord Mengchang, and expressed his willingness to make peace with Qin, and asked Zhang Yi to draw up a covenant.Zhang Yi said with a smile: "One east and one west, there is no boundary between the two. If you want to talk about a covenant, there are only three sentences: don't use weapons, don't combine vertically, and don't interfere with internal affairs." Meng Changjun laughed and said: "It's so simple, there are three chapters in the agreement?" Zhang Yidao : "What is simple is easy to do. As long as you keep your promise, these three chapters will be worth thousands of troops." King Xuan of Qi was originally worried that Zhang Yi would coerce Qi State and ask for a lot of money, such as severing diplomatic relations between Qi State and Chu State, the leader of the alliance, attacking Yan State and arresting Su Qin, etc., and Meng Changjun was also prepared to deal with the terms and prepare in case of turning his face.Today’s talk, I don’t think Zhang Yi’s covenant is so simple, there is actually only one sentence: don’t unite with other countries to fight against Qin!In this way, Qi State avoided the biggest embarrassment-offending the Five Kingdoms by being pro-Qin, and it would not offend yesterday's allies for repairing with Qin State.In the long run, Qin State does not interfere in Qi's internal affairs, and Qi State is not suspected of being a vassal at all, and it is still a great country. King Xuan of Qi felt relieved immediately, he laughed and said, "The prime minister is quite generous! How about making a covenant right now?" "Okay! Let's stand now." King Xuan of Qi clapped his hands: "Taishi, come out." A white-haired old minister came out from behind the tall wooden screen, holding two large pieces of parchment in his hands: "My lord, this is the covenant agreed between my king and the prime minister." Then he put the parchment on the On the king's case.King Xuan of Qi glanced at it, and immediately saw the three or five lines of characters clearly, and said with a smile: "Please take a look and decide." Taishi held the parchment in front of Zhang Yi again, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "That's it, King Qi uses the seal." King Xuan of Qi slapped the table and laughed: "Minister Xuan Zhangxi!" The servant let out a long cry, and a middle-aged minister came in holding a copper plate and jade box, put the copper plate on the king's case, and gave a deep sigh to King Xuan of Qi. bow. "Qi Qin Covenant, use the seal." Qi Xuan Wang pointed to the parchment. "I would like to obey the king's order." The minister in charge of the seal bowed deeply to the copper plate and jade box, and shouted loudly: "The official historian recorded: Qi Qin alliance, use the seal to store—!" Then he opened the jade box respectfully, and held out There was a six-inch green jade big seal on one side, holding the turtle button of the big seal with both hands, and solemnly covered it on the parchment, but it was a bright red and dazzling ancient seal script in Zhuwen. "Qi-Qin Covenant, Qin's prime minister uses the seal—!" Zhang Yi stretched out her hand to press the belt around her waist, removed a jade belt hook, and opened a delicate leather box on the jade belt hook, revealing a four-inch copper seal.He grabbed the back and nose button of the seal and dipped it in the ink pad of the jade box of the book case, then lifted it and pressed it on the sheepskin covenant, but it was an ancient seal seal with white text on a red background, which was a stark pair with King Qi Xuan's Zhu Wen seal! "Recorded by the official historian: The Qi-Qin alliance has been concluded—!" The Minister of Seals respectfully presented the agreement to King Xuan of Qi and Zhang Yi each. "Okay!" Qi Xuan Wang looked at the covenant: "This king wants to give the prime minister a high-quality jade and make a printing material, and the prime minister accepts it." The six countries in Shandong value jade seals.King Xuan of Qi meant that Zhang Yi's bronze seal was not worthy of the prime minister's status.But Zhang Yi said with a leisurely smile: "Many Qin people fight immediately, and the jade seal is fragile and fragile, and it has no appearance, but it can't be beaten." Meng Changjun followed up in time: "It's no wonder that Qin State has Lantian jade and doesn't use it, but it's for this reason. It seems that Qin people are still pragmatic." King Xuan of Qi was embarrassed, and laughed again and again: "Okay, sir, you are worthy of the Prime Minister of Qin." Zhang Yi laughed a lot: "If the king of Qi lets Lord Mengchang to serve as the prime minister of Qin, he will also have a prime minister of Qin." "Of course it's a good thing." Qi Xuanwang said with a smile: "It's just that the coalition army has just lost, and Lord Mengchang has to clean up the mess. Once this matter is over, Lord Mengchang can go as promised. What does the prime minister think?" "Okay! Zhang Yi is waiting to work with Mr. Mengchang." Mr. Mengchang laughed, but he didn't say a word. When Zhang Yi returned to the post house, Ying Hua hurried over and handed him a sealed bamboo tube about two inches long and thinner than a little finger.Zhang Yi said with a smile: "You can open it, I can't do this kind of delicate work." Ying Hua said with a smile: "The secret documents of the Black Ice Terrace are sent by Qingying, the lighter the better." Said that the tube head has been sealed with mud Peeling it off, the slender little finger pried open the lid of the tube, and pulled out a very thin white scroll, unfolded it and spread it on the desk, but it turned out to be a square of one foot white silk, with two lines of strange symbols drawn on it!Ying Hua smiled and said, "Hey, what kind of painting is this? It's like Hetu and Luoshu!" Zhang Yi came over and couldn't help laughing and said, "This is an ancient seal in bronze inscriptions. It's amazing how sick it is." Ying Hua said happily: "Okay, in the future, Heibingtai will use this ancient seal in bronze to convey messages, and it won't be easy for idlers to recognize it." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "It's easy to say, but unfortunately few people in the world can write it. You see: 'The matter of swallows is over. Well, after three days on the road, you can go to the country of Yan, and we will all enter Ji. Xili. 'Ah, good, good!" "Have you figured it out? When will we leave?" "Depart tomorrow morning." "Farewell today?" "No need. Just send this thing to Mr. Meng Chang." After Zhang Yi finished speaking, she walked to the desk and wrote a few lines, Ying Hua sealed it up, picked it up and walked out. In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yi's fast horse-drawn carriage left Linzi.The honor guards were originally stationed outside the city, but they were already waiting in line by the official road.At Ying Hua's order, the cavalry put away their banners and spears and turned into an elite light cavalry, guarding Zhang Yi as he hustled northward.Due to the discord between Yan and Qi for many years, business travel has almost been eliminated. After passing the suburban pavilion, there are few cars, horses and pedestrians on the road, but at a glance, it is empty and desolate.At this moment, I saw a person standing in the middle of the road and waving from a distance.The driver eased the bridle, and Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Who is under your feet? What is in charge?" The man cupped his hands and said, "I am Feng Huan, a guest of Lord Mengchang. I have been ordered to invite the prime minister." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Mengchang, where is he?" Feng Huan said "Prime Minister, please follow me." Zhang Yi then ordered the horse team to wait in place, got out of the car and followed Feng Huan into the hill beside the road, but there were many hidden sentries in the woods, which were obviously heavily guarded. In the depths of the dense forest, Lord Mengchang greeted him: "Linzi is inconvenient, so I made a special trip here to wait for the prime minister." "The business is over, why should Mr. Meng Chang be so polite?" "Tian Wen has always despised the red tape, and it is really a last resort." "Mr. Mengchang has something to say to me?" "Exactly." Jun Mengchang nodded, pulled Zhang Yi behind a big tree and said in a low voice: "Two things: one, the state of Qi may change, please pay attention to it. Second, the danger of the son, I will go to the state of Yan , more precautions must be taken." Zhang Yi's heart suddenly sank, and he was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "Meng Changjun is so righteous, Zhang Yi dare not forget each other." Lord Mengchang sighed with emotion: "Hanoi was defeated and the prime minister entered Qi. According to Xun Kuang's words, if there were no these three things, Tian Wen would still be paranoid and hostile to Qin as always. The one who defeated the six countries was not Qin, but the six countries. Tian Wen really hopes that the Qi State will learn from Qin and become friends with Qin, and that the reform will be strong. It is a pity that it is difficult to do it alone, and you have to have both sides. The difficulty here is to be observed, don't laugh at Tian Wen's indecision." Zhang Yi has always been free and easy, but now he feels blocked in his heart, looking at Mr. Mengchang speechless.After a long silence, Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty Mengchang has difficulties, just let Zhang Yi know." "I hope there won't be that day." Mr. Meng Chang said with a smile: "Prime Minister, let's go, forgive Tian Wen for sending him off soon." "There will be a period later." Zhang Yi cupped her hands and strode out of the forest.
