Chapter 54 Chapter 9 Please Immortal

Having said that, in terms of knowing the overall situation, it has indeed always been Yao Jia's weakness.Disregarding the overall situation has always been Yao Jia's strong point.Why did Yao Jia choose vertical and horizontal lobbying as a career?Just unwilling to be poor, just to live a good life.He was afraid of poverty, and he did not have the state of Yan Hui. "A sack of food, a ladle of drink, in the back alleys, people are unbearable, and they will never change their happiness." He admits that in his career, for the sake of In order to maintain his reputation, in order to succeed in the negotiation, he did often make his own claims, even against the client's wishes, and used the pretext of "being outside, the king's order will not be accepted".But now, his weakness is exposed in front of Qin Guo.Qin Wang Yingzheng did not immediately appoint him, and now Li Si reiterated his warning to him, because he was not at ease about his behavior in this aspect.

Li Si also said, "Although Qin is independent and strong, diplomacy is still necessary and indispensable. Blindly using force to show off one's strength is not the act of a wise man. In diplomacy, our principles must be firm, and we must also have a sense of purpose." Realize all permitted and necessary flexibility in principle. The principle comes from the king, and the flexibility depends on the envoy. For the envoy, there is a degree of freedom, but it must be within the scope allowed by the king." Li Si's voice was sonorous and eloquent.Only a person in power can have such confidence that every word he utters sounds irresistible.

Yao Jia looked at Li Si and became confused for a moment.In his eyes, the images of Li Si and Ying Zheng overlapped indistinctly and could not be clearly distinguished.Yao Jia has always been pretentious, thinking that he is the elite of human beings, and he can deal with the monarchs of the six countries with ease, and even despise them when he has time.But in front of Li Si, he couldn't resist.Through Li Si, he knew his limitations for the first time.He understood that he and Li Si were not on the same level when it came to looking at issues.The difference between the two is the difference between great wisdom and small cleverness, the difference between great strategy and small trickery.He also realized that as long as Li Si was around, the No. 2 position beside Ying Zheng would not be taken away by others.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless No. 2 figures.Among them, not many have been recited for future generations.And these No. 2 figures who have been recited by later generations can be roughly divided into two types, one is the founding type, and the other is the ruling type.Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, etc. belong to the founding type, the so-called kingmaker.Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, etc. belong to the governance type.And Li Si's official career experience shows that he is the only one who has the best of both worlds. Li Si continued, "For Qin, war is the continuation of politics. Diplomacy is the continuation of war. This is the highest principle of Qin's diplomacy at present. In other words, what we need is such an envoy, who is equivalent to Qin's envoy. The representative stationed in the six countries has full power to deal with diplomatic affairs. When Qin's unification battle comes, he must ensure that, except for the attacked country, the rest of the princes will stand by and not send troops to rescue. Here, Qin When he is attacking, he wants to tell those countries that have not been attacked that Qin is fighting well and is justified, and that the fight is for your own good, to weaken his will and calm his mind. Of course, it is conceivable that this is not a good life Do it, even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi are resurrected, they may not be able to do it. We have been looking for such a person. Mr. Bi will be the one who can take on this important task."

Li Si said again, "The King of Qin has favored you for a long time, and he is afraid that you may not agree, so he voluntarily takes on the job. Li Si is entrusted by the King of Qin, so he first seeks the same with you. From now on, all foreign affairs of Qin State will be listened to by you. In the future The world is mixed, the four seas are peaceful, under the open sky, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, is it the king's minister. The art of vertical and horizontal, if you don't attack, you will perish. The history books will also record it like this. The art of vertical and horizontal was first created by Duan Muci. Su Qin and Zhang Yi made it big, but Mr. ended it.

If you can live up to your mission and help Qin win the world, your achievements will be comparable to those of the generals who conquered the city and destroyed the country. The world will never forget it, and the king of Qin will never forget it.Just imagine, an unprecedented empire, an immortal feat, and sir, is the brightest part of it! " After listening to what Li Si said, Yao Jia's once poor heart was instantly filled with noble passion. Li Si toasted again, and said, "Tomorrow the royal court meeting is about the unification of the four kingdoms. I hope to see you attend."

Yao Jia said, "Yao Jia has a problem, so he has to confess it first. As you know, Yao Jia is a courtier of Zhao State, and cannot enter Zhao State's borders. Can't enter a country of people, how can he be the king of people?" Li Si laughed, and told the truth about Zhao Guo's expulsion of Yao Jia.Yao Jia was shocked when he heard this, and Li Si said again, "Although Mr. has been wronged, this twists and turns shows that the king loves Mr. Mr. As for the matter of Zhao State, Mr. can rest assured. Li Si can guarantee that once Mr. Let Zhao, the king of Zhao will go to the suburbs to welcome him, and come to the house to ask questions. Moreover, let Li Si make a fool of himself first, and from tomorrow on, Li Si will be envious of Mr.

Why did King Zhao slap himself in the face and want to welcome Yao Jia's visit in person?And why did Li Si envy him, Yao Jia?It seemed that Li Si didn't want to solve these two suspense for Yao Jia for the time being.Yao Jia thought to himself, at present, it seems that a good fate is calling him, as long as he nods in agreement.In the invitation letter to him, Wei Liao had offered him a lot of conditions on behalf of Ying Zheng. However, although the conditions in that letter were good, they were not to the point where Li Si could envy him.Originally, Yao Jia was already desperate, so as long as he could keep the conditions in the letter, not be bargained down, and the original salary would be discounted, he would be satisfied.Could it be that the terms that Ying Zheng is about to offer him are much higher than what was promised in the letter?

On the other hand, does he really want to tie his personal fate to Qin's chariot?The alliance of the four kingdoms was originally the crystallization of his painstaking efforts. Now, is he willing to destroy the cause he created with his own hands?Should he attend tomorrow's court meeting?Even in attendance, should he nod? Yao Jia was full of thoughts, and returned to Wei Liao's place in a daze. It was as late as three o'clock in the night, and Wei Liao went to sleep early, his breath was thunderous, and there was no answer to knocking on the door.Yuyao Jia was alone, leaning on his stick to listen to the wind on the unfamiliar streets of Xianyang.
