I was engaged in development in the Qin Dynasty

Although there were swords and swords at the banquet, the end was quite satisfactory. These envoys also knew that they would not be able to win Liu Ze over with just such a meal. Besides, there were officials from the state of Qin to accompany them. They really want to woo, and they can't be so explicit, there is a sign on the surface, and the rest should be done secretly.

"Brother Dai, you did something wrong today." Wang Ben was a little angry in his heart, but Dai Chao was invited by him again. If he said something wrong this time, those people would definitely investigate Mian Jihou's background. After Jihou's weakness, coaxing Mian Jihou into the past will be a great loss for Qin.

"I know, I got impatient and wanted to prevaricate, but I accidentally exposed Mian Jihou's background." Dai Chao was also very annoyed, why did he lose his mind all of a sudden.

"Forget it, the matter has already happened. The envoy of Chu State is right. People cannot avoid making mistakes. The important thing is how to remedy it. Now what to do is what to do?" Zhang Yuandao.

"Quick, let's enter the palace and report to His Majesty," Wang Ben said hastily.

"Yes yes yes" Zhang Yuan also seconded.

Zhao Zheng felt a little strange when he heard Wang Ben and the others begging to see him in the palace, but he also saw them. When he heard what they said about the bad things that happened today, he was silent for a while, and said, "Forgive you for your innocence. , Mian Jihou is not from Baiyue, you just remember what happened today, go back."

Wang Ben and the others were a little dazed when they heard the news. When they walked out of the palace, they were still dizzy. What did they hear?Isn't Mian Jihou from Baiyue?Then why did Your Majesty say that he was from Baiyue when he introduced Mian Jihou?Wang Ben and the others suddenly thought of what Mianjihou did in Qin today, whether their king had expected this day, so they simply didn't tell them the real origin of Mianjihou.

"Okay, let's not even think about it, that's good, at least they can't find out what's going on." Zhang Yun was still very generous.

"Yes." Wang Ben nodded.

Rihu Liuze's banquet for the envoys of the six countries was just an episode, it flashed for a while, and then disappeared immediately. It was submerged in the sound of the peace talks between the seven countries, and the conversation between the seven countries was also very unpleasant. Now, not only Zhao Guohe Qin State disliked each other, Zhao State and Chu State confronted each other again, saying that they had formed an alliance. Later, Qin State helped Yan State, but Chu State watched helplessly, regardless of the friendship of the alliance.

The envoys of the Seven Kingdoms started arguing every day. Later, more and more countries joined the debate. Liu Ze really felt sorry for Qin Dianke. He quarreled every day, and he didn't know if his blood pressure would rise. After all, they didn't look particularly young. up.

For this reason, Liu Ze also specially suggested to Zhao Zheng to make more decoctions for these diners to clear away heat and reduce fire, so as not to cause too much controversy and faint, which would be too embarrassing.

As a result, there is an extra decoction in the yamen of the Diankes every day, which is available all day.

The guests knew that Zhao Zheng cared about their health, so they worked harder. Anyway, every time Liu Ze saw them, his face was flushed, he was full of energy, and his fighting power was extremely strong. He didn't look old at all. .

"Don't worry, Diankes usually don't show much, but now they finally have a place to use. Naturally, they are very hardworking, and there will be no problems." Dianke was originally used to receive envoys and vassal princes from other countries. However, vassal kings are generally not allowed to return to Beijing, and envoys from other countries seldom come to other capitals. The position of a Dianke is regarded as an idle yamen, so it is not easy to be promoted. Now that I am finally busy, the opportunity for promotion is coming. Not excited.

"I really don't see how active those punters are," Liu Ze said with discretion.

In this way, a month has passed.

Now it's not just other officials muttering, but also the piankers themselves, after all, busy is busy, but, it's abnormal, is it necessary to talk about something big for a month?Originally, signing this contract is equivalent to not signing it. It was signed before, and Zhao Guo wanted to fight Yan, so he sent troops to fight. Moreover, every time he talked about re-signing the contract, he agreed superficially. When he really wanted to sign, There were problems with each other, which led to the failure of the contract.

There were problems with the signing of several times, and the customers also let go of their relaxed attitude, and dealt with it cautiously. At this time, the seven-nation peace talks changed from the previous excitement, and began to calm down. It seemed that they were afraid of causing trouble for each other. son.

"Is this normal?" Liu Ze has only experienced two peace talks. The last time was last year. In the end, Zhao Guo still started fighting with Yan Guo, and Qin Guo picked up the leak. This is the second time

, It has been more than a month since the formal peace talks, and there is still no result, which makes people panic.

Zhao Zheng shook his head, "It's not normal. Generally, there are very few people who can't negotiate in a month. It is estimated that if the peace talks fail this time, the second peace talks will be held soon."

"Second peace talks? What's the difference? The opinion is still the same." Liu Ze frowned slightly, not knowing the meaning of the second peace talks.

"Of course it is different. There must be other variables in the second peace talks, and these variables can affect the outcome of the peace talks. Sure enough, there is a real problem with the sudden peace talks this time," Zhao Zheng said on his face. There was a sneer.

"Will it be a bad result?" Liu Ze was a little worried.

"It's hard to say," Zhao Zheng said frankly, "If it's just dealing with any one of the six countries, I guarantee that Qin will not lose, but if the six countries join forces, it will be no small deal for Qin. threaten."

"Isn't it, the Six Nationalities joined forces? But, isn't there a rift between Zhao and Chu? Last time Qin helped Yan to deal with Zhao, Chu watched from the sidelines and did not help. Moreover, Zhao and Yan are not Will they unite against the past grievances?" Regarding the attitudes of the envoys of Chu State and Zhao State at the last banquet, they never thought that the two countries would unite.

"Maybe it's just pretending? We deliberately let us be careless."

"Then what do we do now?" Liu Ze asked.

"Wait," Zhao Zheng replied.

"Wait? What are you waiting for?" Liu Ze was a little confused.

"Wait for them to show their feet, wait for their real intentions, this is the state of Qin, I can afford to wait, and the envoys of these other countries can't afford to wait." Zhao Zheng's eyes were dark.

Liu Ze looked at Zhao Zheng worriedly, but at this moment he had no choice but to wait with Zhao Zheng.

As a result, Zhao Zheng and the others didn't have to wait long. As Zhao Zheng said, he could afford to wait here for the state of Qin, and these envoys couldn't afford to wait. The state of Qin is really beheaded, but it’s just that the reputation is not good. At most, it’s just to find a reason to prevaricate. Moreover, if you stay too long, after you go back, someone from your own country will replace your previous position. If the king’s heart is seduced by villains , You can also sue him for being rebellious by the state of Qin, and he will die if he is really wronged.

"What, meeting the kings of the Seven Kingdoms? A trap," Meng Yi said first.

"The purpose of this peace talk is for the peace of the Seven Kingdoms. Now that the envoys can't negotiate properly, it is understandable to ask the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms to talk by themselves. If they refuse to attend, there will only be two impressions in the hearts of the people. Timid and fearful, or the king himself is ambitious and wants to start a war," Li Si analyzed calmly.

"However, if we really meet, we will definitely not be in Qin State. If it is another country, how can we guarantee our safety?" Meng Yi disagrees, it is too dangerous, and safety cannot be guaranteed. What should we do if we are ambushed?And outside, it was much easier to assassinate the king with spies mixed in the team than in the palace.

A proposal for the king to have an interview in person caused an uproar in the state of Qin.

As for the state of Chu, it was not much better, "Uncle, you actually asked me to go to the interview in person, are you crazy? Or do you want to help the younger brother of the widow to sit on the position of king of Chu?".

"What am I doing this for? It's not for our country of Chu. The country of Qin is already very ambitious. Look at them, they got help from the country of Yan, sent troops justifiably, and occupied many places in the country of Zhao. Qin's ambitions are not limited to that , They have always wanted to annex our six countries, and they had some concerns before. After all, occupying the six countries will cost a lot of soldiers, horses, food and grass, but God favored them. They got the talent of Mian Jihou, which brought them high yields Our people have already inquired about sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes is [-] to [-] shi per mu. How many soldiers can be fed with such a yield? By then, all of our six countries will be in danger. King Qin, no matter how bad it is, we have to bring Marquis Mianji to our country of Chu." Li Yuan saw the angry look of King Chu, and he was also very angry. All he did was for the country of Chu.

"Then put the widow in danger?" King Chu said angrily.

"Chu's elite soldiers will be sent to protect you. Don't worry, you will come back safely," Li Yuan promised.

The King of Chu sneered, "Didn't the King of Qin also send the most elite soldiers of the Qin State to protect him? Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Qin State are more brave than our Chu State. , if the widow does not go, if you want to go, you can go by yourself." The king of Chu refused to cooperate.

Work.

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you will lose the hearts of the people and become the laughing stock of the whole world."

"Laugh if you want to laugh. This decision is uncle's own decision, isn't it? When you made the decision, did you ever ask the widow? Since you haven't asked the widow, why should the widow clean up the mess caused by uncle?" Xiong Han said.

Seeing that the king of Chu refused to cooperate, Li Yuan frowned, and then said loudly: "Come here, the king of Chu is sick and can't get up, he must rest. No one is allowed to visit, and it will delay the recovery of the king of Chu."

"Yes." Two guards walked in from the door.

"How dare you?" Xiong Han said angrily.

Li Yuan didn't pay attention to him, but turned around and left. He still couldn't tell the priority. Li Yuan turned his attention to his younger sister's second son, maybe it really should be cultivated by another person.
