Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 67 Proton
Linzi city.

The sky is full of smoke and dust, and the voices of people are noisy.

Under the scorching sun, a continuous stream of merchants flooded into the official roads of Linzi in horse-drawn carriages, and officials rushed to Beicheng on hemp shoes.

Linzi City has lost the prestige of Duke Huan of Qi who looked down upon the heroes like a tiger watching an eagle.

Jixia Academy, which used to be famous in the past, has been monopolized by the Tianshi clan. They are showing off and pretending to be fake, causing the Jixia Academy to become an uproar.

However, the officialdom of Qi State is full of intrigue and smog, and the high-ranking and powerful Qi Wang's favored officials form private parties and seek personal gains for themselves.

And the officials with outstanding strategies were appointed by King Qi as diplomats to go to a country and persuade those in power in the country to implement various self-weakening policies.

This method is tantamount to Han Huiwang's strategy of exhausting the Qin Dynasty, dismissing all capable ministers, leaving behind the glib old fritters to deceive King Qi.

How can the country not perish if it is governed in this way?

However, there are also some honest and honest patriots in the court, mainly Qi Wangjian's eldest son Tian Sheng, trying to unite the Shandong countries and prevent Qin Wang from going east.

Linzi Palace.

Hundreds of officials were displayed in front of the palace.

The special envoy of the State of Chu paid homage to the King of Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone says that the King of Qi is a rare wise king who judges the time and the situation."

"Now the three Jin lands have promised our country to unite to fight against Qin."

"The wise king of Qi is very intelligent, he understands the current affairs, and knows the general situation. He should agree to my king and attack Qin together!"

Qi Wangjian sat on the top of the hall, listening to Xing's sweet words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But Qi Wangjian did not agree immediately, but looked at the prime minister who is good at governing the country, Hou Sheng: "Prime Minister, what is your opinion?"

Hou Sheng's eyes were sharp and he said: "How absurd are the words of Mr. Qi! The country of Qi has a vast land and rich resources, and the products are abundant. Even if Qin Wangzheng has great abilities, he dare not neglect my king."

"What's more, my king has already made an agreement with the King of Qin not to participate in the alliance of the six kingdoms in Shandong, and to share the world with the King of Qin!"

"With such sincerity, how dare the country of Qi neglect it? And the alliance is beneficial to Chu and detrimental to Qi. Why should our country join?"

The three sentences were sharp, and angrily scolded the special envoy of Chu State to open his eyes wide, wishing to slap him.

However, the hand hung in the air for a long time, and the envoy of Chu shouted: "Absurd! Absurd!"

The envoy of Chu snorted coldly, flung his sleeves, and was about to leave when Tian Sheng stopped him.

Tian Sheng grabbed the cuff of the envoy of Chu, and remonstrated with King Qi: "My son dares to say something, please listen to my father."

After receiving the answer, Tian Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Today Qin is no longer a corner of the border, but a country of tigers and wolves."

"What's more, although the current king of Qin is young, he knows how to look far away, and has the heart to handle all kinds of wastes. Only by cooperating with each other can the kingdoms of Shandong not be annexed by Qin."

"Father, we can't have good relations with Qin just because of King Qin's empty words!"

With tears in the corners of Chu's eyes, the envoy again looked at the young man and said calmly, "Finally someone who understands!"

But Hou Sheng smiled indifferently: "A piece of paper?"

"Chu is a piece of paper! Joining forces to resist Qin will only waste Qi's manpower and financial resources, but these will enrich Chu's supplies."

"Four years ago, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin and felt ashamed to occupy it, but the Zhao Kingdom didn't want to return empty-handed, and took away our country's Rao'an."

"Of course it is possible to unite, but can the State of Zhao return the land of Rao'an with both hands?"

Sitting in front of the hall, King Qi's eyes were cold, and he thumped the case angrily: "Rao'an is an important town in Qi State. If Zhao State doesn't change, how can we talk about cooperating?"

Tian Sheng, who was about to defend the envoy of Chu, was suddenly reprimanded by Qi Wangjian: "As the prince of Qi, I don't think too much about it. I think about joining forces to fight against Qin all day long. How can I be decent?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Wangjian showed a fierce face, and scolded: "Put the prince who doesn't know the situation into the prison."

Fortunately, the joint advice of civil and military officials saved Tian Sheng from prison, was stripped of his title, and demoted to Jiaodong.

Tian Sheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Qi Wangjian to drive him out of the capital, and all the officials showed shocked faces.

The envoy of Chu was astonished, he didn't expect Qi Wangjian to be so stupid.

After coming out of the Linzi Palace, the envoy of Chu gasped and muttered, "Fortunately, he didn't form an alliance with the Qi State. Such a foolish king might cause a lot of trouble."

Tian Sheng, on the other hand, was sitting in the carriage feeling sorry for himself. Even the attendants next to him were dejected and could not help but sigh: "The young master has lost his power!"

But the groom disagreed, and persuaded Tian Sheng: "Your Majesty is just showing off to the envoy of Chu to strengthen the determination of Qi and Qin to form an alliance. When the king's anger subsides, he will naturally call you back to the palace."

"Cuckoo!"

Xiao Zhinu jumped into the carriage from the rear of the carriage, and the servant was about to drive away, but was stopped by Tian Sheng.

Looking at the big piercing eyes of the little child, Tian Sheng said with emotion: "Why is this frog so different?"

The servant looked at the little boy with contempt, and said with a sneer, "Even if the frog is so strange, it's just a frog. Could it be that it was sent by another country to make it?"

Hearing this, the little childish slave almost fell, Tian Sheng scolded: "Be quiet! Don't scare it."

During the long-distance travel between the two of them, Xiao Zhinu was by Tian Sheng's side.

This gave the grieving Tian Sheng a little comfort, especially the eyes of the little child, which can always cleanse the soul.

The little child slave also heard Tian Sheng talking to himself from time to time.

Finally, Xiao Zhinu heard a crucial piece of news. In horror, Xiao Zhinu quickly clicked on the system, recorded the conversation between Tian Sheng and the servant, and sent it to Qin Wangzheng who was thousands of miles away.

Zhangtai Palace.

Qin Wangzheng is discussing the law of the king with Han Fei, hoping that Han Fei can make reasonable suggestions.

Suddenly, the mechanical sound of the system came from my mind.

[Ding, the little childish slave sent an email, please check the host. 】

Qin Wangzheng pretended to yawn, Han Fei understood it, and left.

Qin Wangzheng opened the system mailbox.

A photo appeared in front of Qin Wangzheng. Qin Wangzheng's face condensed, and his eyes burst out with a stern look.

In the photo, one person was wearing uniform, and was recognized by Qin Wangzheng at a glance.

It is Tian Sheng, the son of Qi State, who is almost the same age as him.

In the past, Tian Sheng, him, and Crown Prince Dan of Yan State all served as protons in Handan of Zhao State.

After several years, Qin Wangzheng missed him a little.

Back then, the three of them had sworn their own oaths to be wise kings.

But now. Only the lonely king has become the king of a country, intending to expand the territory and conquer the six countries.

And both of them became puppets, manipulated by their respective fathers.

Qin Wangzheng couldn't help feeling: "Things are right and people are wrong!"

Qin Wangzheng turned cold in an instant, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It is precisely because King Yan and King Qi are stupid and listen to slander, that the people with lofty ideals are excluded and expelled, so that the lonely king has the opportunity to take revenge!"

In the two countries of Yan and Qi, the monarch is stupid, it seems that Yao Jia's trip will be very smooth!

Qin Wangzheng gradually restrained his smile, put his eyes on the photo, and observed it carefully.
