Chapter 39 Cold reception in the third quarter

Let's say Li Si left for Korea.The accompanying convoy stretches for several miles, and the cars, horses, gold and silk are innumerable.At the same time, Mengwu conscripted soldiers from the Eastern Commandery to parade at the border of Han and Wei, echoing each other from a distance, and marching for Li Sizhuang. Qiang Qin came to visit, and the envoy was Li Si, the most trusted official of Yingzheng. The South Korean side naturally did not dare to be sloppy.Han Xiangzhang stepped forward and led the ministers of South Korea to welcome Li Si and his party in the suburbs of Xinzheng, the capital city, thirty miles away.

As far as South Korea was concerned, what they were waiting for was not the army of Qin, but Li Si, the envoy, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.It seems that Han Fei's report to Qin has still had an effect.But on the other hand, Mengwu made a big fuss about the soldiers of the Eastern Commandery, showing off his might on the border, but he was suspected of supporting Li Si's trip.The subtext is, South Korea, you have to be careful, our state of Qin is going to be courteous before soldiers.Li Sizhi didn't come here to bargain with you, his request must be met, otherwise, we will meet in battle!

Li Si got out of the car and talked to the Korean reception group, but his eyes wandered among the crowd.He was searching for a face, a face that haunted him. Yes, he was searching for Han Fei, his lost brother, and his only confidant.However, Li Si was disappointed, Han Fei did not come to greet him.Li Si was quite disappointed by this. He hadn't seen him for ten years, and he came from a long way, so Han Fei refused to come to see him. Not seeing Han Fei made Li Si frustrated.Li Si was annoyed by not seeing King Han.Regardless of the strong lineup of the Korean reception team, the scene was lively and harmonious, and it seemed that the guests and hosts had a good time.But in Li Si's view, he was still mercilessly coldly received by South Korea.This reception was like a banquet, without Han Wang as the main dish, the grade and specification would be significantly worse.

Zhang Rang's next words made Li Si even more angry.Zhang Rang said, "The King of Han is sick and cannot come in person. I am deeply sorry. Please go to the post house to rest temporarily. When King Han is in good health, he will be summoned." That is to say, King Han not only did not come to the suburbs to welcome him, Even when he will be able to meet Li Si is still unknown. That night, Zhang Rang held a banquet to welcome Li Si.The Fifth Chancellor of the Jang Clan is the most prominent noble family in Korea.Zhang Rang, the younger brother of Zhang Ping, and the uncle of Zhang Liang.As a powerful minister, Zhang Rang was on Qin's list of bribes.In the past few years, Qin Guo secretly invested a lot of public relations expenses on him.When Li Si came to Korea this time, he naturally offered Zhang Rang a generous gift as a bribe.

During the banquet, there will be delicious food and wine, and women will sing and dance.Zhang Rang courteously accompanied him, and he must make Li Si feel welcome.However, Li Si was absent-minded and rarely smiled.He didn't come on vacation, he always had a bad feeling, the King of Han didn't greet him, and he didn't even say when he would be able to meet him, there must be something tricky about it. There were many people during the day, so Li Si suppressed his anger and did not attack it.There were few people at the dinner party, so Li Si went straight to the point and asked Zhang Rangdao, "Dare to ask the prime minister, is the King of Han really sick? Or did he miss Li Si on purpose?"

Under normal circumstances, Li Si's questioning like this is arrogant and disrespectful.This is openly questioning South Korea's credibility and insulting South Korea's decency.However, Li Siben is a tough person, or in other words, he can grasp the heat and measure of toughness.Second, the strength of Qin and South Korea is very different.A weak country has no diplomacy, and it is destined to be difficult to have both face and body. Therefore, in the face of Li Si's questioning, Zhang Rang could only explain with a smile, "King Han is indeed ill, otherwise he would not dare to neglect your noble minister."

Li Sidao, "It will take half a day at most for Li Si to meet the King of Han, and the matter will be over. Although King Han is sick, please see him by force. I hope the prime minister will convey it on his behalf, and it will be lucky not to make Li Si wait for a long time." Zhang Rang sighed: "Your ministers don't know something. Today's king is different from the previous king. The previous king valued the old ministers, but the current king loves the new nobles. Now Han Fei is in charge of affairs, and the king of Han relies on Han Fei for all matters of the country, and does not ask me. Although Zhang I want to convey it to your noble minister, but I am afraid that the King of Han will not listen to it. This is the first time your noble minister visits our country, and he is happy to let Zhang Mou do his best as a landlord."

Zhang Rang practiced Tai Chi, but Li Si had no choice.Amid suspicion and anxiety, the dinner ended hastily.
