"Although this horse is good, but Chunshen has been suffering from dysentery all year round, so it is useless for me to keep it. It is used to pack some luggage and bury his talents. If you like it, it's better to give it to you as a gift. Instead, use all of your abilities to show off its excellent potential. " When Chun Shen saw that he was still in love with Ma Dong, he knew that Ma Dong must have fallen in love with Ma Dong's taste, so he took the opportunity to give Ma Dong a gift as well.
Although Ma Ma Dong had long enjoyed it all, he still pretended to be courteous and said, "How can I be embarrassed about this. Later on I will have to accept Brother Chun Shen's precious gift. Why do you ask me to return it?"
"Hehe, Brother Sheng, you and I have been friends for so long, how could this little brother of mine care so much? How would you dare to let Brother Sheng have something to repay you? " Although Chun Shen had something he needed to trouble himself with, he knew that taking a step back was the best strategy in this situation.
Although Chunshen spoke in such an obscure manner, but since he was already well versed in the way of government affairs, how could he not understand the meaning behind Chunshen's words? Then, he pointed his index finger at Chun Shen and said, "Brother Chunshen, you gave me so many treasures for no reason, and you really didn't ask for anything important?"
Chun Shen knew what Lu Sheng was thinking from his actions, so he could only stop hiding it. He bowed towards Lu Sheng and said, "Chun Shen's thoughts naturally cannot be hidden from Brother Sheng's Fiery Eyes of Truth. I do have a presumptuous request for Brother Sheng to put in some effort."
"Hahaha!" When Huan Sheng heard Chun Shen's words, he immediately raised his head and laughed, "If my guess is correct, then it must be because of the matter of persuading the Qi King to cooperate, right?"
"Since Brother Sheng knows everything, then Chunshen's actions can be considered as adding oil to the fire. I'll be ridiculing Brother Sheng." Seeing that everything had been made clear, Chun Shen also spoke towards the back in embarrassment.
"Hey, Brother Chunshen, since we are friends, your difficulty is the difficulty of my later victory. My later victory will naturally do its best to solve this difficult problem. "Even though the Qi King refused to agree to the agreement made by the late emperor, but after so many years of fighting in this position, it shouldn't be a problem for him to think of a way to resolve this issue." After that, victory was guaranteed with confidence.
"Oh? What good plan does your future brother have to change the mind of the Qi King? " When Chun Shen heard these words, he asked Chun Shen with great curiosity.
"Has Brother Chunshen heard of the matter of Zheng Zhuang Gong digging up the earth for his mother?" When Sheng saw Chun Shen's curiosity, he intentionally hinted at him.
"Zheng Zhuang Gong dug up the Earth Mother? How could I not know about this matter? "When Chun Shen heard his question, he froze for a moment. However, he quickly came to his senses and said," Could it be that today, I will be the one to take the test, Uncle Ying?
"Exactly." Without waiting for Chun Shen to finish speaking, Sheng nodded and admitted with a smile.
"Aiyaya, this is indeed a rare good plan. How wonderful." When Chun Shen understood the latter part of the sentence, he shouted out repeatedly while clapping his hands.
"Hehe, Brother Chun Shen, just wait for my good news." As he spoke, he stroked his goatee and said with confidence.
When Chun Shen heard these words, he immediately felt a lot more at ease. He also praised the latter and laughed out loud as he understood the meaning behind his words.
On this day, the Qi King, in accordance with his usual practice, had finished discussing the kung fu process with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He then gave the order to retreat and rest. However, just as he took a few steps to the back of the hall, he heard someone salute him and say, "Your Majesty, please stay here for a moment. This old man has something to inform Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty can listen to a few of my words."
Upon hearing these words, the Qi King felt that they sounded familiar. Turning around, he saw a man with a steady gait like a dragon's bell. This man was none other than the Prime Minister of the Qi Kingdom, his favorite subject, Qin Wentian.
"What's the matter with the later couple? Why didn't they report it to the oligarchs when they were in the imperial court? Why did they preach it to the oligarchs after the assembly was over?" The Qi King asked as he looked at Hou Sheng's serious expression.
"Brilliant King, this matter concerns the King's reputation. This old official felt that it would be inconvenient to report this matter to the court, which is why he delayed reporting it to the King." Still unperturbed, Lu Sheng calmly described the situation to the Qi King.
"Oh? Since that's the case, that's fine. Since there's no one around here to listen, we might as well speak frankly if there's anything we need to say later on. " Seeing his expression, the Qi King immediately promised him.
"Great King — —" Xia Sheng was not in a hurry to report, and only glanced at the two palace eunuchs on either side of the Qi King, before deliberately swallowing the words that were about to reach his mouth.
At first, the Qi King looked strangely at the two palace servants beside him, and then he understood what was going on. He immediately sent the two of them back to the inner palace, "The two of you, return to the inner palace first."
"Okay." The two palace maids accepted the imperial decree, then departed.
"Now that we have something to say, we can speak frankly, right?" After the two palace servants left, the Qi King purposefully spoke towards the back.
"Thank you for your faith, Great King." Seeing that Qi Wang had withdrawn his attendants, he quickly bowed and said, "The reason why this matter is of such great importance is only because it concerns Ambassador Chun Shenjun of Chu."
"It's Chun Shenjun again. Could it be that he's trying to convince me to reject Qin Yun with the alliance of the five countries?" When the Qi King heard Chun Shenjun's words, he immediately felt annoyed. He said impatiently, "If you came for this matter, then please go back later. The late emperor has already imposed a ban on this. The few of you will not break his rules for this."
"Please calm down, my great king. I am the late king, and I will not persuade him to do such a thing as going against the orders of the previous king. I hope my great king will understand." Seeing the Qi King's impatience, Xia Sheng immediately explained to him.
"Oh? However, my successor clearly mentioned that this matter is related to Envoy Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun's purpose in coming to our Qi Kingdom was to persuade the oligarchs to reject the Qin. Since my successor did not want to persuade the oligarchs to reject the Qin, why did he come? " Although the Qi King had heard his words, he was still skeptical.
"In this world, only Qin Qiang and the six nations are weak. If the six nations cannot become one, they will be gradually consumed by the powerful Qin. Today, Han and Zhao are good examples. I believe the King is well aware of this situation."
"Naturally, the oligarchs know the benefits of the Acupoint Charging Alliance, that's why they took the initiative to establish an alliance with the Chu Country. But now, it's not only the Chu Country that wants to form the alliance, it's also the life and death enemies of our Qi Country. How can we allow the oligarchs to ignore the hatred of our ancestors and cultivate Qin Jin with their enemies?" To talk about the country of Qin, which is far from our reach, the irreconcilable nation of Yan should be rejected instead. The Lord Prime Minister must be well aware of this, so why are you trying to persuade us again today? " Before Qi Wang could finish what he wanted to say, he interrupted him anxiously. His tone was filled with anger.
As for later victories, ever since he took up the post of prime minister of the Qi Kingdom, Qi Wang had listened to everything he said. He had never felt so disobedient before, but today, Qi Wang had almost turned against him. Because, as a favored subject, if he angered the lord, then his good days would come to an end.
However, when he thought of the many treasures and horses that Chunshen had given him last night, he mustered up his courage again and continued to persuade King Qi, "Calm down, my lord. However, when he thought of the many treasures and horses that Chunshen had given him last night, he mustered up his courage again and continued to persuade King Qi," My lord, I do not mean it this way.
"There is no need to go against the late king's last wishes, and you can also join the Ju Zong Alliance. How can there be such a perfect thing in the world? Then, how about you teach me how to do it? " After hearing Hou Sheng's words, the Qi King asked about the latter with a look of disbelief.
"Does the King know about the matter of Zheng Zhuang Gong digging up the earth for his mother?" Victory then
"Zheng Zhuang Gong dug up the Earth Mother? "Later on, I heard that Uncle Zheng's mother, the Jiang Clan, had colluded with the Zhuang Mansion's emperor to seize power and usurp power while he was still in the Zhou Dynasty. Yet, she fell into the trap of the manor lord and Gongzi Lu, and was imprisoned by the manor lord in Yingying's place?" Upon hearing this question, the Qi King recounted it slowly using his previous knowledge.
"That's right," Seeing that the Qi King had already said half of the matter, the latter continued to carry on with his speech, "At that time, Zhuang Gong swore to everyone that he would never see the Jiang clan again unless it was the Yellow Springs, because he resented the fact that his biological mother favored his younger brother and wanted to seize the throne. Even though she had the intention to go back on her word, she could not go back on her word. Thus, she could only endure the pain of mutual longing all day long. After that, it was fortunate that Uncle Ying had heard of this matter, so he dug a tunnel from Zheng to Zhuang Jianyan, then let him meet with his birth mother, the Jiang Clan. In this way, they could be considered to have met, and did not violate their previous oaths. This has granted Master Zhuang's heart of loyalty and filial piety, and has also protected his dignity as the king of the kingdom. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Upon hearing these words, the Qi King was still puzzled. "Could it be that you want us to follow Master Zhuang's example by bringing up the issue of how mediocre our ancestors were?" he asked.
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, this old subject has already understood the profoundness of your words. If Your Majesty is willing to follow the lead of Master Zhuang, then this old subject is willing to be your examination uncle." Seeing that the Qi King understood his intention, he immediately revealed his intentions to the Qi King.
Although the Qi King was tempted by this action, he still did not understand, "Can you explain your plan in detail to me later? I am still a little confused."
"Yes," When Hou Sheng heard what the Qi King had said, he immediately bowed down, "The King is unwilling to go against the will of the previous King, but also does not want to miss the opportunity to cooperate and reject Qin. This old subject believes that the King should not personally step forward to join the Acropolis Alliance, and may let the old subject join the Alliance in the name of the Prime Minister. At that time, the King only needs to hand over the military authority to the old official, and I can ignore it.
"Good, good, good plan!" When Qi Wang heard this, he was overjoyed. He cheered and put his hand on Zhang ShengLi's shoulder and complimented, "As expected, you are worthy of being called the Prime Minister of the Da Qi Kingdom, a lucky star of the Da Qi Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. You have done everything you could for our Da Qi Kingdom. This is the best that can happen in the future." After winning, King Meng Qi's praise made him heave a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that he would offend the Qi King because of this, but now, he had a whole new level of respect for him. Facing this Qi King, whose face was filled with satisfaction and a smile, Xia Sheng felt increasingly that his position of being above everyone else under him was unshakable.
