I was a gentleman in ancient times

On the second day of the banquet, Xun Qi handed over the letter of state to the king of Yue, and went back to the post house to wait for news.As for how their monarchs and ministers discuss it, it's up to them.

When the King of Yue received the letter of credence, he thought it was just an ordinary exchange between the two countries, and if it was not good, it was whether Qin State wanted to marry them again.

However, when he opened it, he was trembling with anger at the content of the document.

"Hurry up, immediately call a court meeting and discuss matters with all the ministers." Yue Guojun ordered impatiently.

Xu Man wondered what was written on the document sent by the envoy of Qin State.Qin State had some unreasonable demands on Yue State's monarch, which made the king so angry.

This kind of diplomatic document between the two countries was directly presented to the monarch, and only the monarch had the right to open it. Xu Man naturally didn't know what was going on.It is really unusual for the king to summon all the ministers to the court at this hour with such a distraught look.Xu Man didn't know the situation clearly, so he didn't dare to speak rashly, he could only be suspicious in his heart.

Xu Man sent the order down, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's the matter? Are there any treasonous and inhumane words in the documents of the State of Qin? Is this what made Your Majesty furious?"

"Hmph! It's just a small state of Qin. What kind of nonsense has happened. It is said that Suicheng and Yecheng are the territory of the Qin state. It is simply unreasonable to ask the widow to return the land of the city to the Qin state!" Kneaded into a ball, still said angrily.

After speaking, he was a little dizzy and couldn't stand upright. Xu Man quickly helped him to sit down.

Xu Man was dumbfounded by the words of Lord Yue, how could such a thing happen?Is Qin Guo too naive?Do you think it is theirs to send an envoy to casually say which city belongs to them?With nothing to prove, why let the city go?

Above the court, the documents were circulated by all the ministers for reading.Everyone looked at me and looked at you, and for a while they didn't know what to say.

It has been a long time since Lord Yue lost his temper, how could he have expected such a terrible thing to happen. "Children Qin Zhan, arrogant and conceited. The last time I got married for the sake of the Queen Mother, he didn't know what was good and bad, and directly gave the Queen of Yue to someone else. It's just that I didn't ask him for an explanation. Now that he is making progress, he actually If the widow were to cede Suicheng and Yecheng, who would give him such a big face?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. If the State of Qin doesn't take our State of Yue seriously, how can we let him go? In my opinion, King Qin should be taught a lesson."

As soon as this remark came out, some people nodded in agreement, while others frowned to express their disapproval.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we should find out the situation. After all, the relationship between Qinyue and Qinyue is extraordinary. They often help each other. If the two countries turn against each other for some unknown reason, I'm afraid it will only make the relatives hurt and the enemies happy."

"Master Zhou is right, why don't we invite the envoys of the Qin State to ask for clarification?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the King of Yue thought about it and thought it was the same, so he sent someone to invite Xun Qi.

Xun Qi knew this would happen a long time ago, and was mentally prepared for it.Regardless of the visitor's urgency, he took a long time to freshen up before entering the palace with them.

The King of Yue and all the ministers got impatient for a long time before they saw Xun Qi's figure, "Xun Qi, the envoy of the State of Qin, has seen the King of Yue."

The king of Yue wanted to get angry, but thinking of Xun Qi's identity, he suppressed his anger.Even if he didn't care about Qin's face, he had to look at Bei's face, who told them Yue Guo really couldn't provoke Bei Guo.

Not only could the monarch of Yue not get angry, he also politely gave Xun Qi a seat.Xun Qi was not polite either, he knelt down and asked, "The Qin document I brought has been presented to the monarch, not only the monarch asked me to come here today, did you have an answer?"

"Er..." Yue Guojun didn't know how to reply for a while.

While hesitating, Hu Zhuo came out and said: "The matter is very important, we haven't discussed the result yet."

Xun Qi nodded, "Since that's the case, even though your monarchs and ministers discussed it, I didn't rush to rush for an immediate result. I have never been to the King's Capital of Yue, and I am planning to wander around."

Hu Zhuo paused, how could the impatient minister hold back.He opened his mouth and asked: "Since Prince Qi is an envoy of Qin State to Yue State, does Prince Qi know the contents of Qin State's documents?"

Xun Qi rubbed his chin, "Well, I know a little bit about it. When I came out, I was entrusted by the Prime Minister of the State of Qin to go back to the two places in Suicheng and Yecheng that were occupied by the State of Yue."

Everyone was in an uproar, it turned out that Qin Guo was really whimsical.

"It's ridiculous! Suicheng and Yecheng have always been the territory of our Yue Kingdom. Everyone in the world knows this. Is it what your Qin Kingdom said?"

"King Qin has a lot of face? He said that the two places of Suicheng and Yecheng belong to him. Could it be that they belong to them? Just talking about it, the old man can also say that King Qin belongs to our country of Yue."

"King of Qin, a yellow-mouthed kid, in terms of seniority, we should call the monarch of Yue the grandfather. Since we are elders, we don't care about him. Prince Qi, you go back and tell King Qin not to make trouble for no reason."

"Hahaha! Yes, yes, it's just childish words. We have a lot of adults from the Yue Kingdom, so it's really not appropriate to argue with him."

Everyone laughed loudly, calling themselves elders, and treating Qin Zhanzhen as an ignorant younger nephew.There is no sarcasm in the words.

Listening to everyone's words, Xun Qi smiled calmly without any embarrassment.It's sad, sad, that this group of people can't recognize reality clearly.Just wait, it won't be long before you all will be crying and begging Qin Zhan to take it easy.

Hu Zhuo stroked his beard triumphantly, and looked at Xun Qi, "I don't know what Prince Qi, who is the envoy of Qin, has to say?"

Xun Qi smiled, "What can I say? As an outsider, I really don't understand the grievances and grievances between the ancestors of Qin and Yue, and it's not easy for me to comment. I'm just entrusted by others to be loyal. This is just to convey the request of King Qin, and let the Yue Kingdom return the two cities."

"This matter is absolutely impossible, I'm afraid Prince Qi will make a trip in vain." Hu Zhuo said decisively.

"How did Master Hu know that it was impossible?" Xun Qi asked with a smile.

Isn't this obvious?Take a look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and look at the monarch of the Yue Kingdom. Who would agree to this matter?

"It seems that you all don't believe that Suicheng and Yecheng are the land of Qin State that King Qin said? But there are no absolutes in the world, so how do you know that this is not true?" Xun Qi said seriously.

"A joke! Suicheng and Yecheng belonged to the Yue Kingdom when the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom first created it. Let the history be clear, right? Otherwise, there is no need to make people laugh.”

Xun Qi frowned, "You can't say that, but I have seen the evidence with my own eyes."

The Lord of Yue snorted coldly, "Prince Qi, I think you are the son of King Bei, not from Qin, so I don't blame you. You go back and tell King Qin, let him take care of himself and guard his ancestral property safely. Otherwise , I don’t mind teaching him a lesson for his elder.”

Xun Qi blinked, "This... the king's words are wrong, and the king of Qin also produced evidence, which is not nonsense. I also brought it here. If you don't believe it, the king can read it."

Xun Qi's swearing made such a vow, which made the monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom a little confused.The King of Yue also wanted to see what evidence Xun Qi had, so he waved his hand and asked someone to present the booklet in Xun Qi's hand.

In the third year of King Xiang of Qin, the daughter of the Queen of Qin married the King of Yue. At that time, the two cities of Sui and Ye were used as dowry...

The King of Yue is baffled, isn't this nonsense?If this happened, how could he, as a king, not know?

"The king of Qin accidentally saw this from the sealed document of the royal family. It is true after all. The cause and effect of the year, month and day are clear. If not, how could it be recorded? Of course, this is just a copied copy. , the real bamboo slips are still in the Palace of the King of Qin. If your majesty wants to see the real bamboo slips, you can also send envoys to check their authenticity.” Xun Qi explained one by one according to Wei Su’s explanation.

The cause and effect, the years, months and days were all completed by Wei Su.He also saw it with his own eyes. If someone doesn't know the truth, he might believe it just by reading this document.

Xun Qi's words, coupled with the look shown in this document, made the Yue King a little suspicious.After passing the brochure, all the ministers read it one by one, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

This matter will not be able to come to fruition for a while, the king of Yue can only let Xun Qi go down first, it is still unknown whether this matter is true or not.Besides, even if it was true, so what? Could it be that his own city was given up with just one word? He, the king, has not lost his mind yet.

Xun Qi smiled, and resigned in a good manner.He was not in a hurry, he just stayed in the post house, wandering around when he was very bored, he really didn't take his status as an envoy seriously.Regardless of the outcome of the discussions on this matter by the courtiers of the Yue Kingdom, it really seemed that they came here for fun.

Occasionally, I went to drink in the wine house in the south of the city. The shopkeeper of the wine house was very enthusiastic about this noble son who spent a lot of money.Of course, anyone would like a generous Zhu'er, almost responding to every request.

After wandering around like this for more than half a month, Xun Qi already knew everything well.He once again felt the greatness of Mr. Wei's layout. He never expected that Wei Su had already thought of today a few years ago.The pawns are buried and hidden, but they can play a role at critical moments.

From this point of view, not only the Yue State, but also other vassal states in the world have long been deployed by Weisu, and it is only waiting for the time.Take the world as the chessboard, and the people in the world as the chess pieces, such a chess game, such chess players.Xun Qi couldn't think of anything other than fear and deep worship.

In this life, you must never be an enemy of Wei Su in order to save yourself. It seems that my decision is extremely correct.Thinking that Bei State will always face Wei Su in the future, Xun Qi couldn't help but worry about Bei State's future.However, what does Beiguo have to do with him now?At that time, the only way to get Qin Zhan and Mr. Wei to treat Bei's royal family well?

This is not the time to think about these things, Xun Qi still has to complete his task in order to live up to the entrustment of his husband.

Now that the time has come and everything has been arranged, Xun Qi asked someone to inform him that he would meet the King of Yue.

Lord Yue is a little irritable these days, because of this matter, he can't even appreciate beauties properly.He asked people to search for the royal family's documents, but after searching for several days, they couldn't find any mention of Suicheng and Yecheng.Therefore, he was even more certain that nothing would happen, and even if it did, he would never admit it.

When he heard Xun Qi's request for an audience, Lord Yue thought about it, and wanted to settle the matter sooner, so he sent him back to Qin, and agreed to Xun Qi's audience.

Xun Qi paid a visit to the king of Yue and directly explained his intention. "It's been so long, I don't know if the king of Yue has negotiated and come up with any results?"

The King of Yue waved his hand, "There is only one result if we discuss this matter or not. Suicheng and Yecheng belong to the State of Yue, and it is impossible to give in."

Xun Qi frowned slightly when he heard the words, "I waited for more than half a month, but I didn't expect the king to give me such an answer, which makes it difficult for me to explain to King Qin when I go back."

Lord Yue snorted coldly, "You shouldn't have come, if it wasn't for the fact that you are the prince of Bei, the widow would have dragged you out and beheaded you after receiving the letter of credence, how could he treat you kindly?" The meaning is that it is already a gift to him, don't know what is good or bad. "

And Xun Qi obviously didn't want to accept the kindness of the King of Yue, and shook his head, "So, the King of Yue doesn't want to return the two cities?"

"Our king's words are already very clear, so why should Wang Ziqi ask questions knowingly?" Someone couldn't help but replied.

"It's a pity to say such a thing. It is clear that the matter can be resolved through peaceful negotiation, but you have to resort to military force." Xun Qi sighed: "Tsk tsk, it's a pity, the country of Yue is about to die. I don't know if the country of Qin can send troops. How about keeping these two cities?"

Xun Qi's words attracted all the officials to whisper and discuss.Lord Yue's face was already darkened, "What do you mean by that?"

Xun Qi smiled, "Don't you guys know? The King of Qin has made two preparations. One is that if it can be discussed, then everything is easy to talk about. But if the king and ministers of the Yue Kingdom are not willing, the King of Qin has sent a large army to station at the border of the Yue Kingdom. Dao Huo Huo is only waiting for the result from Yue Guojun."

"What!" Hearing the words, Yue Guojun was trembling with anger, almost out of breath, "Qin Zhan, a yellow-mouthed kid, is too deceitful. Does he really think that the widows are afraid of him?"

Yue Guojun was so angry that he became dizzy. Seeing this, Xu Man who was beside him hurried forward to comfort his back. "Your Majesty calm down, your body is critical."

The courtiers below also consoled one after another, "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, don't listen to children's crazy words, take care of yourself..."

There was a mess in the hall for a while.
