Chapter 42
Li Shiqi pretended to be embarrassed and sighed silently.
Lu Jia took the words and said, "The King of Qin has also seen that the world was divided into thirty-six counties during the time of the First Emperor, but now the King of Qin can only rely on natural dangers to refuse to defend the pass. People's hearts have been lost, and the general trend is over."
"If not, how could Pei Gong march all the way? Qin has lost its deer and the whole world is chasing it away. Great Qin has only one breath left and is just holding on for dear life." Li Shiqi nodded.
A disdainful smile tugged at the corner of Ziying's lips. He was worthy of being Liu Bang's two lobbyists. They sang and cooperated very well. The two first described Da Qin as a dead game. Following the routine of conquering people's hearts, they probably gave him some hope.
.
Li Shiqineng persuaded Qi to surrender during the Chu-Han conflict, Lu Jia was able to send an envoy to South Vietnam, and asked Zhao Tuo, who had an army of 500,000, to declare himself a vassal to the Han. No one was easy to deal with.
If Ziying hadn't known that there were Qin people who rebelled against the Han when Liu Bang was the king of Hanzhong, they would have thought that people's hearts were gone.
The First Emperor indeed wasted people and money, but Liu Bang advocated self-cultivation and recuperation, and the world would be stable.
All the people in the world need is a chance to rest. If Fusu succeeds to the throne, everything will be fine. Unfortunately, the problem has not been resolved for various reasons, which gives the six royal families a chance to counterattack.
And Zhao Gao, who caused Fusu not to succeed, was also from the Zhao Kingdom among the Six Kingdoms!
The people of the Six Kingdoms caused Qin to lose its support, and now the people of the Six Kingdoms are blaming Da Qin. Da Qin will not accept this loss.
Ziying secretly thought, don't you want to convince me? Then I will cooperate with you.
Ziying deliberately said angrily, "Even if I have some remaining energy, I still have to fight to the death. Is it possible that the people of Great Qin will end up like Julu?"
Li Shiqi leaned forward to show his closeness to Zi Ying, "The King of Qin need not be so desperate. Pei Gong's virtue has reached the gate of Lan Pass now. As long as the King of Qin is willing to open and close the door, I guarantee with my head on my neck that I will never commit any crime with Qin Minqiu."
"
"If there is anyone under Pei Gong who refuses to listen, I can stop him with my life. I can even let King Qin enjoy wealth forever." Lu Jia said sincerely.
Enjoy eternal wealth?
Ziying couldn't help but laugh out loud. Liu Bang had given Ziying to a small official to take care of him. Officials in ancient times were different. The big ones were officials and the small ones were officials. What kind of wealth could Ziying enjoy when being looked after by a small official?
He wasn't killed by Xiang Yu.
As for Qiu Wubu, any intelligent monarch would do this in order to win over people's hearts. Nobles from other countries are accustomed to being noble, but Liu Bang became a benevolent monarch who is rare to meet.
"Do you two have anything else to say?" Ziying said with a sneer.
"Isn't the King of Qin satisfied with this?" Li Shiqi frowned in confusion. If this was the case, Ziying would not be able to understand the situation of the country.
"Well, I am not satisfied." Ziying teased.
Lu Jia thought deeply, "The King of Qin should know that as soon as Xianyang is defeated, Qin will never be king again. This is the greatest courtesy that Pei Gong can give."
"No, no, no." Ziying said with a smile, "There is one more courtesy I haven't told you."
"What kind of courtesy?" Li Shiqi asked anxiously.
"It's very simple. You go back and persuade Liu Bang's scattered troops to retreat, and then persuade King Huai of Chu to remove Xiang Yu's military power. He will also go home and continue to herd cattle. After Da Qin took back the thirty-six counties in the world, he promised to be diligent and loving.
It can also ensure that you and Pei Gong will enjoy wealth forever, how about this?" Ziying looked into Li Shiqi's eyes and said.
"Ziying, you are dreaming!" Li Shiqi stood up from the ground angrily.
"Dreaming? Why are you dreaming?" Ziying pretended to be puzzled, "Don't you want to appease the people of the world? I can do it too. You want to reward me with glory and wealth, and I will reciprocate. What's wrong with that?"
"You...you are simply..." Li Shiqi's wrinkled face trembled.
Lu Jiaduan stayed in his original position and said calmly, "Mr. Li, calm down. King Qin just doesn't want to surrender. Don't get so angry about it."
Li Shiqi calmed down and sat down slowly.
Ziying stood up and walked in front of the two of them, "So what do you mean by that, you don't agree? You don't want to talk about the people's support anymore? You don't want to talk about glory and wealth anymore?"
Li Shiqi glared at Ziying and remained silent.
Ziying sneered, "Oh, you are right about one thing. If Qin loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away. You are obviously here to chase Qin's deer. For the sake of high-ranking officials, marquises, and future generations, don't involve any common people."
On the common people.”
Ziying walked around Li Shiqi and Lu Jia, "Since Qin's deer has been lost, I have to find it with my own hands. You outsiders, if you come to interfere now, you are a thief, you are a thief, you are a thief."
You villain. I disdain the idea of living together in the same room! If you don’t leave, don’t blame the elite soldiers under my command for being ruthless.”
Li Shiqi's kneeling body was rising and falling, and Lu Jia had no other words to say except sitting upright.
"Are you two waiting for me to drive you away in person?!" Ziying shouted.
Bang bang bang...
Applause came from outside the gate, and a bearded man wearing armor walked leisurely from outside the gate.
"What the King of Qin said is so good, I all admire you." The big man sat on the east side, "I hope the king can understand it more clearly. Even if they are thieves, they are villains. Your Majesty, the Deer King of Qin,
There is no way to find it now."
"So Aiqing really rebelled?!" Ziying said angrily.
"No, no, no." The big man shook his finger, "I am not interested in the deer of Qin, but those who chase deer must pay a price, and this is what I want. If the price of Pei Gong is high, I will turn on and off, Your Majesty
If the price is high, I will guard the pass. If you are looking for a deer, why don't you give Yu Guan some benefits?"
"That's it." Ziying sneered, "It turns out that Aiqing wants to threaten her own dignity!"
The big man chuckled and said, "Bring it here and let the king see the price of Pei Gong."
Six gatekeepers came from outside, carrying heavy wooden boxes in pairs, and stacked them in the center of the gate building. When the boxes were opened, they contained either gold, silver, jewelry, or white-walled jade.
Ziying secretly laughed, Liu Bang had spent enough money on this last step. At the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang only gave Xiang Yu a pair of white walls and Fan Zeng a pair of jade buckets. It turned out that all his family wealth was spent here.
