I was a gentleman in ancient times

If Ji Kai dared to take on this task, he had a certain degree of certainty.Since the letter sent by Yan Liu asked him to recommend Hu Zhuo, then this Hu Zhuo must have something to do with it.That being the case, presumably their goals are the same, and this matter is much easier to handle.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he took a chance and went to the wine shop again.After flirting with the wine girl, he went into the private room again, waiting for Yan Liu to come to him with peace of mind.

He had just conveyed the news that he wanted to see Yan Liu, and someone would definitely report to Yan Liu.After waiting for two cups of tea, I saw Yan Liu walking in from the usual place.

Ji Kai poured him a glass of wine, and before anyone sat down, he hurriedly asked, "Is Hu Zhuo one of us?"

Yan Liu sat down, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why did we help him?" Ji Kai was puzzled, because of him, he almost lost his life.

"Although he is not one of us, he is better than being obedient and able to act according to our wishes."

Ji Kai pondered, "You mean, Hu Zhuo is just like Xu Man today, and our people can influence his decision."

Yan Liu didn't mean to hide anything, "Although Qi Yuan is down now, his line of veterans are still dead but not stiff. His qualifications and prestige are enough to push Hu Zhuo up. If we help him Subdue the people of Qi Yuan's lineage, and when the time comes, Xu Man, Hu Zhuo, and the court of Yue Kingdom will all be in our hands."

When Ji Kai heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "That's great, in this way, Yue Kingdom will sooner or later be in his pocket."

"So, now you should understand how to do it?" Yan Liu said with a smile.

Ji Kai nodded, "Understood." He repeated the conversation with Xu Man, and then said: "Xu Man wants to win over Hu Zhuo, do you think there is any way to fool him?"

It is absolutely impossible for the two of them to join forces, but fooling Xu Man will make him let his guard down on the surface, and his position will be more stable.

"Okay, I will find a way to at least cover up this problem." Yan Liu said.

Xie was relieved, and the two toasted and drank together.

Although Xu Man listened to Ji Kai's suggestion, he still couldn't make up his mind, so the selection of the doctor fell into his hands and was suppressed by him.As long as your majesty doesn't ask about these things, it's fine to hold back for a while.

However, just when he thought the king would ignore it, Lord Yue actually mentioned it to him. "The position of the superior doctor has been vacated. Has the courtier discussed who can fill it? Why has there been no movement?"

Xu Man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down to apologize, "Your Majesty, my servant has been training a new batch of dancers for the King these past few days, so I didn't notice this matter, so my servant will go to ask about it."

Yue Guojun was expressionless, staring at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, which made him tremble uncontrollably.The cold sweat on his back soaked his underwear.

Lord Yue touched his face, his cold fingers crawled over like wriggling bugs, making him nauseous.But he endured it, looked affectionately at the King of Yue, with guilt all over his face, "It's the servant who neglected his duty, only thinking of pleasing the king, and forgot about the government, the servant should distinguish the priorities."

"I know that Qing has always been considerate of you, and you have worked hard to choose beauties and rare treasures for me. Get up, let's forget it this time." Lord Yue's cold voice sounded.

Xu Man's heart trembled, knowing that the king was warning him about his presumptuous assertion.Maybe it's because his face hasn't made the king tired of looking at him yet, or maybe he hasn't touched the bottom line yet, so this time he escaped a catastrophe.

He finally understood what Ji Kai meant, and he had a decision in his heart.

What Ji Kai said makes sense, after all, he is a member of the palace.If it is true that the hand is stretched too far, and the position of the doctor is assigned to the hand, it is hard to say whether the monarch will have doubts in his heart.

Although the king of Yue is licentious and immoral, he is not confused.If it really gets to the root and threatens his power, so what if he is deeply trusted by the king?It would be foolish and naive to believe that the monarch's favor will last forever.

He has been in the palace for so many years, and he climbed up from the bottom step by step?What kind haven't you seen?Flowers do not have a hundred days of redness, and people do not have a thousand days of happiness.What is the purpose of trying to control power by oneself?Isn't it just to keep your position in the future?

There is also the fate of Qi Yuan, the deadly enemy. Looking back now, the reasons behind it are also hair-raising.

Qi Yuan belongs to the Qingliu faction. Over the years, his reputation has become more and more important. What he said, the courtiers flattered and followed suit. Compared with the king's words, they are still more effective.The king may feel the threat faintly, so he can't help but confront Qi Yuan everywhere.Moreover, whenever he was against him, the king would always support him behind his back.

I am very afraid that Qi Yuan can have today, I am afraid that there is also the arrangement of Yue Guojun.Otherwise, with just a few words of indignation, how could he lose his life because of it.

Now that Qi Yuan has taken it down, the so-called cunning rabbit is dead.If I don't restrain myself, I guess I will step into Qi Yuan's footsteps in the next step.

Thinking of Xu Man here, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Ji Kai, it was him who helped him escape.

Since he couldn't drag it any longer, Xu Man simply followed Ji Kai's words and recommended Hu Zhuo to the king.Lord Yue was really satisfied when he saw the name, and even praised Xu Man approvingly, rewarding him with many things.

Xu Man heaved a sigh of relief, this matter has been revealed.

This day when he went out of the palace, he was stopped by someone, and when his servants asked him, it turned out that it was a man named Yan Liu, who said he was Hu Zhuo's disciple, and he came here specially to thank Master Xu on Hu Zhuo's behalf.

Xu Man squinted his eyes. It was because Hu Zhuo was inconvenient to come forward, so he sent his disciples to thank him for his recommendation?It seems that the matter he entrusted to Ji Kai has already taken shape.To be able to send a disciple to thank him today means that this person still has hope of being wooed.

However, it was obviously not the right time for a discussion. Xu Man just asked people to accept the gift and accepted the thank you gift without meeting anyone.At this time, it is better to be cautious, if the king finds out that he has been hooked up in private, it will be bad for the king to feel pimples in his heart.

Don't be in a hurry to win over for a while, let Ji open up the contact first, take your time, and your wish will always come true.

Xun Qi's team was already very close to the King of Yue at this time, but only two or three days away.The courtiers of the Yue Kingdom had a discussion last time, but they didn't come up with any results. Instead, the court was shaken by Qi Yuan's incident.

Now the person who finally became a doctor has been selected, but Hu Zhuo has just taken office, and he has not learned many things yet.In addition, Hu Zhuo is a good old man and a muddleheaded person, after all, he has no opinions.Therefore, the affairs of the envoys of the Qin State were delayed and delayed, and now seeing that the envoys were about to arrive, they hurriedly discussed a set of reception plans and got ready.

Xun Qi already knew about the court affairs of the Yue Kingdom.He didn't expect that because of Wei Su's foresight, he had arranged for spies to infiltrate the court of Yue Kingdom a few years ago.Now it is even more able to control the situation in the court.

He might have been a little worried before he came, but now, he's not worried at all.Everything has been arranged by Mr. Wei, so there is no need for him to worry.

In the court hall of the Yue Kingdom, all the ministers were still arguing.

"The State of Yue and the State of Qin already have the right to marry and have an alliance of brothers. The State of Qin sent envoys here, we just need to greet them according to the rules." A minister suggested.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Does Mr. Liu know the identity of the envoy this time?"

Lord Liu frowned and said: "It's just an envoy, what else can he have?" Obviously he didn't know very well.

"Master Liu doesn't know that the envoy who came this time is not an ordinary person. He is the brother of the king of Bei, the prince Qi of Bei."

There was an uproar from those who didn't know the truth, "Bei State? Did I hear correctly? Is it the Bei State that is the largest country in the world?"

"Besides this Bei country, how many other Bei countries are there in this world?"

"Has Bei State formed an alliance with Qin State? Why haven't you heard about it? Also, Qin State's envoy, why did you send King Bei's son here? Isn't Prince Qi the envoy you have betrayed?" Someone asked. Baffling, thought it was impossible.

In the past, a country sent envoys and also sent princes. This is because the power of the two countries is relatively equal, and the princes are sent as envoys only when there are important things.

But what's the situation now?How could it be possible that the prince of the world's largest country was sent as an envoy of Qin to their small country of Yue?

For a while, they wondered if they had heard the wrong news.

Everyone asked one after another, but the man swore, "I also thought I had heard the wrong news. But now I can be sure that the news will never be wrong."

"What exactly is the prince of Bei coming here for? What's his purpose? Why was he sent by Qin again?" Everyone speculated.

"Since the great prince is here as an envoy, no matter what the purpose is, we should raise the standard of reception and not wait for it."

"What I'm talking about is that since it's Prince Qi, we should look at Bei Guo behind him. If we don't entertain Bei Guo well and offend Bei Guo, Bei Guo is not a small country like me to provoke."

After discussing and discussing, Xun Qi finally saw a welcome ceremony that looked like nothing else.

A group of ministers led by Hu Zhuo, a senior official of the Yue Kingdom, was a little confused, and it turned out to be Qi, the prince of the Bei Kingdom.

"As an envoy of the Qin State this time, Qi didn't expect to be greeted by a doctor in person. I really dare not be a minister." Xun Qi said modestly.

Hu Zhuo stepped forward with a smile, "It turned out that it was Prince Qi who came here. When I received the news, I thought I had heard it wrong. Prince Qi Neng came to our country of Yue. I will welcome you from afar, so I invite Prince Qi to blame. "

"What's the point? I'm just entrusted by others to be loyal to others." Xun Qi didn't deny his identity, and he still had to rely on this identity to escape.

After all, the status of Prince Bei, a small country of Yue, no one dared to do anything to him.He didn't break up with Brother Wang, and others only thought that he went to Qin to get married and would return to Bei sooner or later.

As for the conflict between Xun Huang and Xun Qi, even the courtiers of Bei State didn't know about it, let alone other people.Xun Huang concealed the real reason for Xun Qi's departure, and still maintained a brotherly and respectful attitude towards the outside world.Xun Qi also firmly believed that Xun Wei would never speak out, after all, he helped him ascend the throne, and it can be said that without his own words, there would be no King of Bei today.Does he dare to speak out and make everyone in the world scold him as an ungrateful person?

Xun Huang's temperament, he is the clearest, but it's just hypocrisy, he can never get rid of his mask of a benevolent gentleman.

After listening to his water-tight words, everyone had guesses in their hearts, and what they couldn't figure out before could make sense.I heard that Prince Qi went to Qin to marry the younger sister of Wei Su, the Prime Minister of Qin. Come to think of it, the condition is that he should come to Yue as an envoy?

No matter what the inside story is, Qin Guo's move is really confusing.Logically speaking, Qin State and Yue State have good relations, and if there is any matter between the two countries, it only needs to go to the document to explain it clearly.There is really no need to send envoys here, and even send other princes here.

A group of people were polite, and it was impossible to ask him the purpose of coming here at this time.Only by submitting the certificate of credence and having it read by the monarch can we know the reason of the matter.

"The envoys are also invited to go to the post house to rest for a while. Later, our monarch will prepare a reception banquet for the envoys. At that time, the old man will send people to pick up the envoys and go to the palace." Hu Zhuo will arrange and say, " If the envoy needs anything, just ask, and the old man will let someone do it."

Xun Qi thanked him, and accepted Hu Zhuo's arrangement graciously.But he couldn't help laughing, he was being so polite now, after he explained his intentions in the future, I'm afraid their attitude would be quite different.It's interesting.
