Chapter 55 Section 1

The next day, Yingzheng convened a court meeting to discuss strategies to deal with the four-nation alliance.Those who are qualified to participate in court discussions are all high-ranking officials of Qin State.However, to the surprise of these ministers who joined the association, there was a strange face among them, so they asked each other, but they couldn't tell the origin of that person. Yes, Yao Jia still decided to come.Although he is not included in the official establishment of the Qin State, as Ying Zheng's special guest, he is naturally qualified to attend the court meeting.It was the first time for Yao Jia to participate in the court meeting, he looked around, good guy, the scale is really not small, counting himself, there are a total of 60 representatives, and what he saw in the hall was dark and overwhelming.

Yingzheng looked down at the ministers and asked, "The four countries are one, and the Qin Dynasty will be plotted. The widows will be subdued inside, and the common people will be left outside. What can we do?" Yingzheng's words fell, and the officials could not answer.When the truth comes out, who is the most popular and charismatic in the court can be most prominent at this time.Every minister is voting with his eyes, voting for the most important and most reliable person, and he is ready to follow his lead. Who are the ministers looking forward to?Li Si is also. Li Si's face was watery, motionless as a mountain, and he ignored the many expectant eyes.

Ying Zheng was displeased, and asked again in a deep voice, "The four kingdoms are one, what can we do? All the princes, there is no one who can share the worries of the widows?" Seeing Ying Zheng getting angry, all the officials showed fear, and looked at Li Si more eagerly. Seeing that everyone was only looking at Li Si and no one cared about him, Yao Jia sneered in his heart, got up abruptly, and said in a loud voice, "Yao Jia is willing to go on an envoy to the four countries, so he will stop his plan and put his troops in peace." Even the people in the forest don't realize it, it's strange to have a single tree and all the people.When Yao Jia stood up this time, he was indeed outstanding and independent, earning a lot of attention.So the officials were astonished, Li Si smiled, and Wei Liao fell asleep.

His Royal Highness Ying Zheng held Yao Jia's hand and said, "We are waiting for your words." Yao Jia finally understood why Li Si wanted to say that he envied him.Because of Ying Zheng's generosity in return for him, I dare not even dream of him.Ying Zheng not only gave him a hundred chariots and a thousand catties of gold, but also personally put on the king's clothes, crown and sword for him in front of the officials.Yao Jia stood before Yingzheng, wearing a full set of outfits worthy of a king, trembling and feverish all over.The unbearable glory made him feel so happy that he was about to die.

For an envoy, this kind of favor has never been given since ancient times, and it will never be seen again in future generations.All the officials changed their expressions, thinking that Ying Zheng must have a problem with his judgment.As everyone knows, Ying Zheng has his own far-reaching considerations for acting in this scene. First of all, Ying Zheng wants to perform for Yao Jia.I think that Yao Jia was just a bad boy in Daliang City back then, and later he became a minister of Zhao Kingdom, and he was also very suspicious and unsatisfactory, but now he can stand on the palace of the strongest kingdom in the world, wearing the clothes of the king, the crown The crown of the king and the sword of the king, for the ministers, their favor has reached the extreme that cannot be added.Not only Li Si, but even Lao Ai and Lu Buwei had never enjoyed this kind of favor.In the more than six hundred years since the founding of the Qin State, Yao Jia was the only one.Ying Zheng did this before everyone else, and under the witness of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he pushed Yao Jia to the pinnacle of honor.Tears welled up in Yao Jia's eyes, for this moment, even if he died for it in the future, he could have no regrets.

Secondly, Ying Zheng has to act for others.Who are the others?One is the domestic ministers, and the other is the monarchs and ministers of the six countries. Although Yao Jia has accumulated certain experience and qualifications in Zhao State, Yao Jia can only be regarded as a novice in Qin State, and he is easily rejected and despised by his colleagues.And the quickest way to establish Yao Jia's prestige and convince everyone is to give him extra courtesy.Later, when Liu Bang wanted to promote Han Xin from an unknown soldier to a general in the army, in order to convince him, he also followed this method, specially choosing a good day, fasting, setting up a mandala, and worshiping Han Xin with rituals, so the whole army was shocked. , Mo dare to resist it.Later, during the reign of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, the old man Wang Sheng was above the court, in front of the emperor and all the ministers, and ordered Zhang Shizhi to kneel and tie his socks for him, which made Zhang Shizhi's reputation skyrocket.

The scene of Yingzheng was also played for the six countries, especially for the Zhao country.In modern diplomacy, if country A sends an ambassador to country B, it needs to obtain the approval of country B in advance. If country B does not like the ambassador, it can completely refuse the appointment.During the Warring States Period, it was probably the same.Didn't your country of Zhao expel Yao Jia and not allow him to enter the country again?Now, if Yao Jia puts on this royal uniform and goes to Zhao as an envoy, it will almost be like me, Ying Zheng, coming in person.Let me ask, do you, Zhao Guo, dare to reject me, Ying, from the door?

Besides, Yao Jia has a heavy responsibility on his mission this time, so there is no room for loss.At that time, envoys were able to enjoy diplomatic immunity, and even if they committed a crime, they would be expelled from the country, and they would not be killed in other countries.It was not uncommon for envoys at that time to be imprisoned or even killed.With Yao Jia's equipment, it was equivalent to holding a gold medal for avoiding death. Even if he did something unbecoming to his envoy status in the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms would not be able to take his life. Yao Jia felt Ying Zheng's painstaking efforts.In this strange country, he experienced collective warmth and care for the first time.The affection of the green leaves for the roots arose strongly in his heart.

Yao Jia came to bid farewell to Li Si.Li Si personally greeted him in front of the mansion and congratulated him again and again.After exchanging pleasantries, Yao Jia asked, "Yao Jia is going, can Ting Wei give you something to say?" Li Si smiled and said nothing. Yao Jia said, "Yao Jia's law of unifying the four kingdoms may not be the same as Tingwei's. I would like to hear Tingwei's meaning first. Choose the meat before sending out, and hit the target first. This is what Tingwei personally taught that day." Li Si laughed and thought, Yao Jia is indeed a smart person, knowing the general situation.

Pick the meat first, hit the target first, was the hunting term at that time.The meaning is roughly: when hunting, first point out a certain place on the body of the animal, and then shoot the arrow, and the shot can be counted as accurate.Yao Jia borrowed it as a tactful expression of his intention to ask Li Si for instructions on his work.It can't help but remind people that many swingers nowadays like to borrow baseball terms to describe the progress of courting girls, and divide them into hitting first base, hitting second base, hitting third base, hitting a home run, and so on.You may ask, what happens after the home run is hit?Ha ha, then it's time to start a new game.

After Li Si laughed, he said solemnly, "King Zhao is very happy. When he came to Xianyang to buy wine last year, the king had a meeting with him, and he had already made preparations for today. Mr. Zhao, as long as this is the case, Zhao is nothing to worry about. Zhao is not Worrying, unite and break down." Yao Jia was overjoyed and said, "Tingwei's plan is even higher than Yao Jia's." Li Si handed Yao Jia another list, and said solemnly, "This is Qin's top secret, and the only ones who know it are the king and Li Si. On the list, all the ministers who have been bribed from the six kingdoms can be used as internal aids. Sir, Go, you can't return until after a year, everything outside of Qin is in the hands of the king. Mister trekking to love yourself, please encourage him!"
