Chapter 99 Da Chaoxin Palace 17

Looking at the man in front of him, although Tian Wen still had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, and he did not return the gift. He just squinted at him with a funny smile.

There are only ten people who can be called kings in the world. Now Zhongshan has been destroyed. In addition to the emperor of Zhou in Luoyi, there are only the Lord of the Seven Heroes and the King of Song. Therefore, although Tian Wen has never seen Ji's position, he has long guessed his identity. He can be tied with his master father and King Han, King of Wei. Who else is there besides the position of King Ji of Yan?

I have to say that this Ji's professional appearance is really good. Her face is like a crown of jade. When she stands there, she immediately compares the king of Wei and the king of Han. Only the heroic Zhao Yong can surpass him in temperament. Although Tian Wen was arrogant and disdained to make friends with Ji, he also looked at him a few more times.

Tian Wen looked at Ji's job and couldn't help thinking of a past in the State of Yan.

When Ji Zhi just succeeded to the throne of King Yan, he took over the State of Yan, which was dilapidated by the chaos of his son. He was determined to make the State of Yan strong and determined to set up a "recruitment list of talents" to govern the country. However, because the State of Yan is in the north corner and far away from the Central Plains, it has not been known to the scholars of the Central Plains, so it has been on the list of recruiting talents for more than a year, but the reaction is mediocre. Only sporadic scholars come to vote, which makes Ji's post very distressed.

Later, Guo Huai, an old minister of the State of Yan, offered a plan to Ji and told him a story. It is said that in ancient times, because a monarch loved famous horses, he heard that there was a precious horse in the distance for sale at the price of a thousand gold, so he asked his courtiers to take a thousand gold to buy horses. Unexpectedly, when the waitress arrived, Qianlima had died of illness. The waitress didn't want to return empty-handed, so he bought half of the gold horse bones and took it back to the capital. The king was furious when he saw it, but the courtier said calmly, "If you hear that you are willing to use a lot of money to buy the horse bones of a thousand-mile horse, are you afraid that no one will send the living thousand-mile horse to your door?"

Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, I heard that the king loved the horse so much, and there was an endless stream of people coming from all directions to offer horses. In less than a year, the king has got several thousand-mile horses.

After listening to this story, Ji Zhi thought hard and immediately understood his meaning. He immediately worshipped Guo Huai as a teacher, saluted his disciples, and built an exquisite house for him to live in. He also sent people to build a "golden platform" with gold in the palace, and sent people to play music on the stage every day to express their thirst for talents. In this way, when the sages around the world heard that the State of Yan sincerely admired talents, they came to each other one after another. The State of Yan was full of talents for a while and was able to rule it.

When Tian Wen first heard about this, he regarded it as a joke. In his opinion, the country of Yan is poor and the people are weak. He should think about how to survive in peace, but it is really ridiculous to learn from other countries to change laws and strengthen themselves.

But now, ten years have passed, Yan has not only recovered its original vitality, but also has the courage and strength to provoke. Although it failed in the end, its strength cannot be underestimated. It seems that this king of Yan should not only be in vain, but indeed a doer.

Thinking of this, Tian Wen bowed slightly and replied lightly, "Thanks to the King of Yan, the minister is really frightened."

Ji's face was full of smiles. He came forward with a smile and held Tian Wen's hand and said with a smile, "Why should Meng Changjun be humble? Who in the world doesn't know your high righteousness and is famous for his virtue. Everyone knows that the prosperity of the State of Qi is all due to Meng Changjun. The king of Qi can get Meng Changjun as the prime minister, and he is really envious of others. If the king of Qi is willing to cut off his love, I am willing to exchange 20 cities for the king to come to the State of Yan as the prime minister.

As soon as he said this, Tian Wen couldn't help but frown. The king of Yan seemed to praise his virtue, but in fact, he deliberately belittled the king of Qi and raised himself. You should know that not all his cronies in the delegation of the State of Qi are his cronies, and there are also many favorite ministers of the king of Qi. If this word reaches the ears of the field of the king of Qi, it will inevitably cause him unhappiness.

He hummed unhappily and coldly below; "If you need a city, I, the State of Qi, will send troops to get it. You don't need to give it to the King of Yan so politely. I'm afraid that the king of Yan will be reluctant to give up these cities and come to other countries for help.

Tian Wen's words were extremely mean, and the sarcasm in his words could not be more obvious. All the people in the State of Yan changed their color when they heard it. Prince Lezi couldn't help jumping out and pointed to Tian Wen and shouted, "Bullshit, do you think our Yan Congress is afraid of you, the State of Qi?"

Tian Wen raised his head, and his nostrils said proudly to the sky; "If you are not afraid, how dare you fight? Even if the country is destroyed by death, it is better than this poor appearance of wagging its tail and begging for surrender.

"You..." Ji Lezi was so young and vigorous that he couldn't stand Tian Wen's deliberate excitement. In anger, he even pulled out his sword and pointed it at him. Naturally, the people of Qi were not willing to show weakness. They drew their swords one after another and held each other with the warriors of the State of Yan. The atmosphere suddenly drew their swords.

"Presumptuous!"

At this time, a low roar sounded, and Zhao Yong, who had been watching coldly, finally stopped. He raised his hand with a grim face. A large number of Zhao Jun with halberd quickly stepped forward to separate the missions of the two countries, turned around and raised the halberd in two rows. Qi Qi and Yan warriors with swords were forced back a few steps. The king of Wei and the king of Han led the crowd to avoid it from afar, looking gloating.

Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Don't forget that since this is the palace of our State of Zhao, we must abide by the laws of our State of Zhao. You are all my distinguished guests, and I don't want to see any unhappiness that happens here. If someone dares to openly damage the face of the State of Zhao under the eyes of my widow, no matter who is, he will never forgive him. Even if it causes a war, I will bear the consequences.

When the scene was deadlocked, Yan Wangji was the first to react. First, she smiled "haha" and waved to her subordinates to put away the sword. Immediately, he apologized to Zhao Yong and said, "It's all my fault that I'm not strict, which embarrassed Brother Zhao, the landlord. I'm here to apologize first."

Since the Yan people have put away their weapons, Tian Wen naturally did not insist on the truth, so he also motioned his subordinates to withdraw their swords and retreat. They didn't say much. They just looked at Zhao Yong calmly and said, "The Lord forgive me. The State of Qi and the State of Yan are already in the war, and they have losses to each other. The people of the two countries are naturally not small when they are angry, so that they let the Lord My father laughed.

Zhao Yong looked at Tian Wendao with a smile; "As Meng Changjun said, Qi Yan fought, and both countries suffered losses. Why don't you let me have a lot of things to do and be a good person who is smooth and take this opportunity to mediate. Qi Yan will go back to China and calm down. What do you think?

Although he asked Xiang Ji and Tian Wen, Zhao Yong had been looking at Tian Wen, and his intention was self-evident. Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Ji Zhi nodded and said, "What the master said is very true that the State of Yan is willing to accept the mediation of the State of Zhao and strike and truce."

Tian Wen was slightly angry and snorted coldly, "Yan attacked our country by treachery when the allied forces of Qi, Wei and Han attacked Qin. Now it is invincible but wants to calm down. Father, since you are a modem, you should act impartially. Do you think there is such a reason in the world?

Ji Zhi stood up and bowed deeply to Tian Wen and said, "Yan Guo did make a mistake first. I misheard the words of the villain, and for a moment, I made such a big mistake. In order to show the sincerity of my apology to the State of Yan, I am willing to give up the nine cities of Liao, Yi, Gu, Liyang, Qishang, Leyi, Town, Shouqiu and Ju'an to the State of Qi to apologize.

Zhao Yong nodded, looked at Tian Wen, and said in a low voice, "Meng Changjun, the king of Yan has shown the sincerity to apologize. I don't know if the State of Qi is willing to accept it?"

Tian Wen clenched his teeth and was furious in his heart. Ji Zhi's so-called cession and peace-seeking, there is no sincerity to apologize at all. The nine cities he promised to cede have now been occupied by the State of Qi. It's not a big deal to compensate others for what you have lost. What made Tian Wen even more angry was that the State of Qi went deep into the territory of Yan and occupied more than 20 cities, but Ji Zhi said that he would give up nine, which meant that he wanted the State of Qi to return more than a dozen cities that had been occupied.

You should know that spitting out the fat that has reached your mouth is far more uncomfortable than not eating it. And this is exactly what Zhao Yong wants Qi to do.

Under the pressure of anger in his heart, Tian Wen gritted his teeth and sneered, "Master, as the lord of the State of Zhao, you also have to take care of the attack between the State of Qi and the State of Yan. Isn't it too much to be in charge?"

Zhao Yong was not angry, but said with a "haha" smile; "Meng Changjun's words are bad. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi was not only the lord of the State of Qi, but he had to take care of the affairs of the world. Even the fact that King Mu of Zhou drowned in Chu hundreds of years ago had to lead the army to the State of Chu to ask. Do you want to talk about it? How can I care about it?" ( PS:: Duke Huan of Qi led a coalition of princes to fight against the State of Chu. One of the charges given to the State of Chu was that King Mu of Zhou drowned and died in the land of Chu during the southern patrol)

Saying that Zhao Yong snorted coldly here, he looked up and said proudly, "I, Zhao Yong, don't care about anything. It's not your turn to Tian Wen to agree or not. If you don't accept my mediation, just go back to prepare for the army.

"To borrow your words, what I Zhao Yong want to take. If you are not sure, I'll do it myself."

As soon as Zhao Yong said this, Tian Wen calmed down and knew that Zhao Yong's threat was not false. If the Zhao army suddenly joins the battle to cut off the retreat of the Qi army, the Qi army has almost no chance of winning. Even if it can save the main force and return to the country, it will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover within a few years.

The reason why Zhao Yong hasn't done this is that on the one hand, he doesn't want to force the State of Qi to the position of a sworn enemy. After all, although Qi Zhao borders the border, there is no direct conflict of interest, and they have been living peacefully for decades. On the other hand, Zhao Yong knows that it is not difficult to defeat the State of Qi, but it is undoubtedly a fantasy to annex the huge State of Qi. After all, the State of Qi has experienced the hegemony of King Wei and King Xuan II. Now the national strength is strong, and it is absolutely impossible for the State of Zhao to annex the State of Qi alone.

Although he had retreated in his heart, Tian Wen still looked at the king of Wei and the king of Han reluctantly and said, "I don't know what the two kings think?"

The king of Wei and Han Wangcang looked at each other, and the king of Wei first said, "There is some truth in what my master father said. The swords and soldiers are in the end. It's better for Qi and Yan to stop the truce."

Han Wangcang also nodded and said, "It's the same for me."

Tian Wen sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that the era of Wei and Han against Wei Yingnuo in the State of Qi was gone forever. He stared at Tian Fazhang with interest and said, "Prince, what do you think?"

Tian Fazhang came to his senses and quickly waved his hand, "It's all according to what you want, Meng Changjun. I don't have any problem."

Although he was a little unwilling, Tian Wen had to nod and said, "Okay, on behalf of the King of Qi, I will first agree to the mediation of the master father and report it to the king after returning to China."
