Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

But such a person whose ass should be on the side of Qin Guo actually jumped out on such an important occasion and announced loudly: "Help Zhao Guo, help Zhao Guomiao, the idea of ​​helping Zhao Guo is awesome!"

Surprised? Unexpected?

As soon as Hou Sheng's words came out, the envoy of Qin State Yi Zhuang felt as if he had been hit hard, and his whole body fell from heaven to earth in an instant, his face became completely pale, and he didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Brother Hou Sheng, did you get your lines wrong? That’s not how the script was written!

Only the envoy of Zhao Kingdom, Su Dai, who was sitting on the side, quietly revealed a secret smile that was unknown on his face at this moment.

Before the ministers could recover from the bombshell thrown by Hou Sheng, Qi Wangjian, who was sitting on the first throne in the Golden Luan Hall, suddenly spoke.

"The chief manager's words have won the hearts of the few. In the opinion of the few, this strategy of helping Zhao against Qin is really the best strategy! What do you think?"

If the wave of Housheng just now directly kicked Yi Zhuang from heaven to hell, then the second wave that followed immediately after Qi Wangjian can almost be said to have directly pronounced the result of this debate!

Yi Zhuang, the envoy of the Qin Kingdom, was completely stunned, sitting there like an ice sculpture, and seemed to lose all strength in an instant.

The ministers of the pro-Zhao faction were immediately overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all echoed loudly: "Good advice, Your Majesty!"

As for the ministers of the pro-Qin faction, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't find Bei at all for a while.

What are you doing?Why did Hou Sheng and Qi Wangjian jump out at this time and give the pro-Qin faction a backstab?

These ministers looked at each other, and in the end they all focused their attention on the chief minister Xing Tianyan, hoping that this pro-Qin faction figure could find some way to turn the tide.

At this moment, Tian Yan is so angry in his heart.

At this time, even if Tian Yan is a fool, he can see that there must be a good relationship between Hou Sheng and King Qi Wangjian in advance, otherwise they can sing together like this?

In this case, wouldn't Tian Yan stand on the opposite side of Qi Wangjian?Tell me, this courtier stands on the opposite side of the king, and he can still have good fruit to eat!

To put it bluntly, since Hou Sheng made a plan with the king, but didn't tell Tian Yan in advance, didn't he just want to plot against Tian Yan, making Tian Yan a minister who disobeyed the king, and setting Tian Yan on the fire!

Tian Yan's body was trembling with anger, and there was only one thought in his mind to win, you bastard who sold his teammates!

But at this time, Tian Yan still couldn't get angry. After all, Qi Wangjian had made it clear to support Housheng. If Tian Yan jumped out to refute Housheng, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Qi Wangjian?

Besides, his friendship between Tian Yan and the Qin people is not to the point where he can jump through fire and water for the Qin people.

Therefore, when Qi Wangjian opened his mouth, Tian Yan knew that this matter had already been settled.

No, there may actually be a silver lining.

The only ray of hope lies in the only woman in the hall.

Queen.

Only this authoritative Queen Mother of Qi can have the power to overthrow Qi Wangjian's decision under the current situation.

But will the Queen Mother make a move?

Tian Yan secretly raised his head to glance at the queen, but found that the queen mother of Qi was just sitting there peacefully, looking at her son lovingly, but she didn't even have the slightest intention to speak.

Tian Yan sighed for a long time, stepped out of the line and leaned over, with a respectful tone: "His Majesty, I agree with you!"

After Tian Yan, there was naturally a series of seconding voices.

Everyone is not a fool. Now that the big brothers have surrendered, the younger brothers must not keep up.

After Hou Sheng and Tian Yan, the two leading figures of the pro-Qin faction, turned their backs, a unified decision was quickly formed in the court of Qi State, that is to help Zhao fight against Qin!

Then, under the auspices of the great manager Hou Sheng, Qi Guo quickly reached a consensus with Su Dai, the envoy of Zhao Guo.

Qi State will allocate grain to Zhao State for half a year, but these grains are not free. Zhao State will purchase these grains at a price [-]% higher than the market price. The first batch of grain will be shipped to Zhao State seven days later. It takes about three to four months for the grain to be completely transported.

The next details will naturally be finalized by the members of the Zhao State mission brought by Su Dai and the low-level officials of the Qi State, and it is not the turn of these bigwigs to worry about it.

As for the envoy of the Qin Kingdom, Yu Zhuang, who was sitting in a corner beside the hall, no one cared about him anymore.The diplomacy between countries is like this. Today you are treated like a guest of honor, but tomorrow you may not even be as good as a dog.

After the Great Court Conference ended, Su Dai and Hou Sheng deliberately dawdled for a while, and when the other ministers had finished, they walked out of the Golden Palace side by side.

Hou Sheng seemed to be in a very good mood, and he smiled at Su Dai very affectionately and said, "Su Qing, a group of singers from the Yue Kingdom have just arrived in my house, why don't we get together tonight, how about it?"

Su Dai's face was also full of smiles, he cupped his hands towards Hou Sheng, and said: "Dai has the king's order, since the overall situation has been settled at this moment, then Dai will set off today and return to Handan to return to his order, in order to appease my king, so I can only ask the king Si Li forgives the sin."

After a pause, Su Dai suddenly took out a fist-sized square box from his arms as if by magic, and stuffed it into Hou Sheng's hand without showing any trace.

Hou Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then took the box as quickly as possible, opened the box carefully and took a look, then put the box in his arms with an extremely bright smile on his face, and said, "In that case, Then I wish Su Qing the best of luck."

The two boarded the carriage respectively under His Royal Highness Jin Luan, and bid farewell to each other.

It wasn't until Hou Sheng's carriage disappeared from sight that Su Dai, who was sitting in the carriage, turned around, with a relaxed expression on his face for the first time.

The reason for the sudden 180-degree turn in the attitude of winning later is of course impossible for no reason.

As a matter of fact, long before he went to Zhao as an envoy, Su Dai already knew Qi's political arena very well, and he was even more aware of Hou Sheng's weakness of being greedy for money.

All this is thanks to Su Li, the youngest of the three Sus, who is Su Dai's biological brother who is a guest minister in Qi State!

It is precisely because of Su Li, an internal intelligence channel of Qi State, that Su Dai dared to slap his chest loudly in front of Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao State, and said, "Your Majesty does not need to cede the land of Maiqiu to Qi State. The minister can also make Qi borrow grain and Zhao." Such words.

It is foreseeable that if Su Dai did not save the land of wheat hills for Zhao Guo, then Zhao Dan would probably not agree to the official position of Su Dai Zhao Guoxing.

This fully embodies the truth that as much contribution as there is, there will be as much return.

However, there is actually another point worth mentioning here, that is, in Su Dai's original plan, he planned to directly use more money and treasures than the people of Qin to stun Housheng, so that Housheng would change from a pro-Qin faction to a pro-Qin faction. Pro-Zhao faction.

But later, when Zhao Dan persuaded Du Ping Jun Tian Dan to let Tian Dan participate in this plan, Tian Dan put forward a different view.

After all, Su Li was just a guest official, and had never been the core figure of Qi State, but Tian Dan, the great hero of Qi State Restoration, was not the case.

From the perspective of Tian Dan, who is more familiar with the high-level officials of the Qi State than Su Dai, although Hou Sheng is greedy, he is still a man of principle, at least in terms of using money to do things, he is impeccable.

So if you simply spend money on it, you may not be able to succeed. Even if you can use money to knock down Housheng, you may not be able to convince Qi Wangjian behind Housheng.

Then what should be done?Tian Dan put forward an idea, that is to bribe him with some kind of treasure that Hou Sheng and even Qi Wangjian, two pleasure-seekers, cannot refuse, so that he can succeed in one fell swoop.

Does the State of Zhao have such a treasure?

Have.

And there is only one item, a treasure that Tian Dan nominates to give away.

This treasure was once famous all over the world when it was unearthed. It once made Qin Wangji want to exchange fifteen cities for this treasure. It also made Lin Xiangru, who was just a disciple of Ling Miaoxian, an eunuch of Zhao State, become famous in one fell swoop. Therefore, an idiom called "return to Zhao with perfect jade" was created.

This treasure was later made into the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, which was passed down from generation to generation by the emperors of all dynasties. Looking at the whole of China for 5000 years, it is definitely among the top priceless treasures.

The name of this treasure is of course Heshibi!
