In the Qi State Posthouse in Yanjing, the courtyard is deep, the pines and cypresses are green, and the cicadas are chirping.
Qian Qianyi sat opposite Wen Jing with a frown on his face.
He was ordered to come here to show that the war situation in Han State was in a draw and that Qi State was in urgent need of sending troops to balance the pressure of the powerful Tang Dynasty, and to send troops together to carve up the powerful Tang Dynasty.
"I don't know if Lord Wen is here..."
"Let's stop chatting and get straight to the point."
Wen Jing looked at Qian Qianyi and spoke straightforwardly.
Although he did not quite believe in the judgments of the adults in the court, Qi State had Su Lu, the two gods of civil and military affairs, the Four Generals of Zhongxing, and the younger generation of generals emerging in endlessly, so Tang State was no match for Han State.
However, several sycophants favored by the Queen Mother obviously took advantage of the Han State and claimed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Defeating the Tang State and conquering the lost territory was a small matter, but carving up the Qin land and opening up the territory was a major event that would shine forever.
He, who was familiar with Han affairs and was the envoy who signed the Luo-Jiang Treaty, had to come.
"Your country is at odds with the Tang Dynasty and wants to ally with our country to attack the powerful Tang Dynasty. I wonder what price your country can pay?"
Wen Jing looked at Qian Qianyi and spoke with certainty.
Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment. This was different from what he had imagined. It was not the envoys of Qi who came to beg him to join the alliance. No matter how bad it was, he was neither humble nor arrogant. They shared the country of Tang. What happened to this grandson? He looked like he was for sale.
appearance.
Qi also has capable people.
A smile appeared on Qian Qianyi's face: "Master Wen, the Queen Mother of your country doesn't think so."
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, his aura instantly dissipated, he leaned back weakly on the chair and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, Mr. Qian, if that's the case, then I won't make any excuses. This is the bottom line of our country, Qi. If your country can accept it, we will sign an agreement and our country of Qi will send troops as soon as possible."
Qian Qianyi picked up the brochure handed over by Wen Jing and said, "What if my court doesn't agree?"
Wen Jing leaned back in his chair and spoke in a low tone:
"Then I turned around and left after hearing this. It's not easy to seek skin from a tiger, let alone a tiger that wants to show its teeth."
Qian Qianyi finished reading the booklet and suddenly said:
"This doesn't work. It's impossible to divide Dongting together. Shangshan is already in the possession of our Han State. If we divide it into three parts, the Tang Dynasty that our Han State has obtained will be divided."
Wen Jing stood up, walked to the door, and finally stopped.
Qian Qianyi smiled and said:
"Master Wen, please excuse me. I believe Master Wen should know what kind of conditions your Queen Mother can accept. Our prince knows it very well."
Wen Jing let out a long sigh:
"I have another copy here, but I only signed it with the prince."
Qian Qianyi showed a knowing smile on his face, stroked his goatee and said, "I don't dare to invite you as I wish."
In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Qing, who had already started to serve as director, was sitting behind the imperial desk, looking at the memorial in his hand.
"Why, did Wen Jing compromise?"
Qian Qianyi, who was below, answered respectfully: "Yes, Wen Jing compromised. He is sensible. Although he is capable, due to the stupidity of those in power in Qi State, his abilities cannot be used. Your Majesty, Wen Jing was trying to leave at that time.
, I almost couldn't hold back and wanted to agree to his conditions, this Wen Jing is a capable minister."
Li Qing nodded: "He wants to see the prince, but I can't agree."
Qian Qianyi was stunned, what's going on? People have already explained that when they meet the prince, they will sign an agreement and send troops to Dongting to attack the Tang Dynasty. Why doesn't your majesty agree?
Xie Ruyu's cheeks sank slightly, "Nowadays, Qi people are from the Tang Dynasty, and they hate the prince for taking a stake. The Tang Dynasty almost succeeded in assassinating the prince. I'm worried that they will follow suit."
Qian Qianyi was stunned, this... seemed to have such hidden worries.
Zhou Ping, the Minister of War next to him, sighed: "Yes, when Eunuch Gao Zhan died in battle, our country lost a great master of martial arts who could guard a small area."
Dong Cheng spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty's concerns are very reasonable. It is better to use the wife of the old general Xiao Cong, the eldest princess of Beiyang, and the imperial guards to jointly protect the prince."
"Not seeing the foreign minister will really hurt the face of His Majesty and the Prince."
Li Qing hesitated for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.
"That's good, we will supplement it with a formal imperial guard. Wen Jing is not allowed to come within three feet of the prince."
…
Su Lu teased Su Yi and met Wen Jing in the imperial garden.
Freshly washed apples were placed on the stone table in the pavilion. A female official stood beside the stone table, looking at the books on the table.
Su Yun lazily watched Su Lu teasing his niece and said to Mrs. Xiao next to him:
"Madam, I heard that you were a famous master in the world in your early years. Are there any hidden masters in our Han country?"
Mrs. Xiao was watching Su Lu teasing the princess with envy, and when she heard this, she said casually:
"There are definitely some, but those who can break through the martial arts masters are all people with a good heart, and it is unlikely that they will become officials."
"Zang Xuan of Xuanfu, Yang Congzhi of Shazhou, Lu Kang of Xiting, and many others are all masters."
"Well, here we are. I can't blame His Majesty for being so careful. This person's skills are not simple."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Wen Jing, who was approaching the pavilion under the guidance of the female officer.
Su Yun stood up and walked towards Su Lu, who was holding Su Yi and chasing the butterfly. Wen Jing was a master. She didn't know how tall he was, but at least he was taller than her.
"Wen Jing has met the prince."
When Wen Jing saw Su Lu, he saluted respectfully and said that before Su Yun came over, he had already reached Su Lu's side.
Su Yun's expression changed, and he stopped, not daring to get closer to Wen Jing. At this distance, he had no confidence in stopping Wen Jing, or in saving his brother.
Su Lu looked at Wen Jing.
"Why, Master Wen wants to kill me?"
Wen Jing's expression was solemn, his hands hung by his sides, and his tone was as calm as ever.
"The prince has a sharp eye. Yes, Wen Jing wants to give the people of Qi a future. If he kills the prince, the Han Dynasty will be in chaos."
Su Lu shook his head, took out a candied fruit from his pocket, and gave Su Yi a lick. Su Yi immediately opened her mouth, as if she still wanted the candied fruit.
Su Lu stretched out his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, let's sit down and talk."
Wen Jing never left Su Lu's side and said with a smile:
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's sit down and talk."
When the two of them arrived at the pavilion, Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to stand on the stone steps of the pavilion with Su Yun, not daring to get too close for fear of getting angry after hearing the scene.
"Our Han country has two gods of civil and military affairs, four generals of Zhongxing, and below there are countless twelve generals, sixty-four captains and so on. What do you think, Mr. Wen, of these people?"
Wen Jing's expression froze slightly, but he still said after a moment:
"Everything is very good. In time, he will definitely become a general in his own right."
Su Lu nodded, "Yes, what I am most gratified about, Su Lu, is that I have trained so many talents. With them, I now dare to sit down and discuss Taoism with you, Grand Master Wen Jing. They were all led by me."
As long as they are here, conquering the Tang Dynasty and exterminating the Qi Dynasty and expelling the Yingte will be inevitable in the future. With or without me, it will not matter."
"On the contrary, it is your country of Qi. If it goes as you wish for Wen Jing, if you kill me with one strike today, and your Majesty attacks Qi in anger, your country will be destroyed when it is established. Will the people of your country of Qi miss you Wen Jing?"
"On this journey, Wen Jing, you have also seen the life of our Han people. If the people of Qi were under my rule, they would also live in peace and health, with sufficient food and clothing. Is it better like this now or under my rule? Wen Jing
What do you think the people of Qi think?"
Wen Jing's expression changed slightly and he pondered for a while.
Su Lu continued:
"You Wen Jing have always loved the people like a son, but you can't even understand these things. I think you don't love the people like a son, but you are just fishing for fame and reputation, and want to be a pedantic piece of infamy in the history books."
