Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

If nothing else, let's just talk about Lin Xiangru, the Boss of the Commoner School. Let's see how much Lin Xiangru has contributed to Zhao Guoli. His current title is just like Yu Xin's Shangqing, and he probably has no chance in this life.

This shows how difficult it is to become a king.

It is precisely because this difficulty is so great that Yu Xin's contribution to the title of king must be large enough.

This trip to Chu State is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Yu Xin to make contributions.

And not only that, this time Zhao Dan obviously also understood Yu Xin's shortcomings, so Zhao Dan specially sent a helper for Yu Xin.

Yu Xin's eyes slowly moved sideways, and finally landed on a carriage beside him.

In this carriage sat a middle-aged man with a calm expression, plain clothes and an ordinary face.This middle-aged man is so inconspicuous that if you throw him on the streets of Handan, he will be able to blend in perfectly in almost a second without attracting anyone's attention, which can be called 100% Pure passerby.

But such an ordinary man can sit alone in a carriage and beside Yu Xin, the leader of the mission, which is obviously a bit unusual.

Yu Xin bowed his hands to the man with a solemn face: "This time I am going to Chu as an envoy, but I have to rely a lot on Mr. Mao's ability."

This unremarkable man was the helper Zhao Dan begged for Yu Xin from Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng's mansion, Mao Sui, one of the thousands of guests in Zhao Sheng's mansion.

To be honest, Yu Xin was somewhat disapproving of this Mao Sui before.But during so many days of missions, Yu Xin and Mao Sui chatted and found that this person is also a talented person, especially good at talking and arguing.

Although it is far inferior to Yu Xin in terms of knowledge reserve, Mao Sui can often rely on his unique set of debating skills to talk back and forth with Yu Xin in verbal disputes, and even often gain the upper hand.

After many in-depth talks with Mao Sui, Yu Xin finally realized why Zhao Dan specially sent Mao Sui to his side.Obviously, Mao Sui was here to fill in Yu Xin's rhetorical flaws.

After understanding this point, Yu Xin not only admired his own great king Zhao Dan, but also respected Mao Sui, and even allowed Mao Sui to enjoy the same treatment as Yu Xin himself, which was equivalent to the deputy envoy of the mission. Mao Sui's carriage was one of the most upscale among the missions.

After Mao Sui heard Yu Xin's words, he also bowed to Yu Xin in the carriage: "Master Yu, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you return successfully."

This mission to Chu State is an opportunity for Yu Xin, so why not for Mao Sui?Compared with Yu Xin, who is now famous and in a high position, Mao Sui, who is now just an unknown entrant in the Pingyuan Palace, obviously has a stronger desire to make meritorious deeds.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

Although it has been scornfully called "Chu Barbarian" by the Central Plains countries, after all, Chu State is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and the most basic etiquette is still there.The corresponding guard of honor has already been set up at the gate of the city, and the diplomatic officials of Chu State have also been in place.

After a brief welcoming ceremony, the Chu diplomat who was in charge of entertaining suddenly threw a small bomb that surprised Yu Xin: "Master Yu, my king and ministers are already waiting in the palace, so please come in." Palace."

Yu Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, although it was only two hours before dawn, but according to the usual practice, should you send me to the post house first, let me rest for a day or two before calling again?

Such a way of doing things was really done by Chu people who did not take the usual path.

But for Yu Xin, it doesn't matter. It would be nice to see the King of Chu earlier and talk about things earlier.

So Yu Xin smiled slightly, and said to the official of Chu State in front of him: "In this case, then I will trouble you to lead the way."

Chapter 42 Yu Messenger Chu (3)

Under the leadership of the diplomatic officials of Chu State, Yu Xin quickly entered Chencheng.

Just as Yu Xin sighed when he was outside the city, the scale of this Chencheng, not to mention Handan, a first-rate city in the Warring States Period, even a second-rate one might be somewhat inferior.

The scale of the city is not large, and there are not too many people coming and going in the city. It seems that there are only tens of thousands of people living in it.

Yu Xin sighed secretly in his heart while sitting in the carriage for a sightseeing tour. He never imagined that the Chu Kingdom, which was on the verge of annexing the world a few decades ago, would become what it is now just because of two generations of stupid kings.

In this world ruled by man, the harm of a fatuous monarch to the country is really too great.

As Yu Xin sighed, the convoy drove past Chencheng's Guocheng, and entered the palace city from the north gate.

After entering the palace city, what appeared in front of Yu Xin was a group of yellow palaces.

Since the ancestors of the Chu people can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor, the Chu people naturally regard themselves as the heirs of the Yellow Emperor.From the perspective of the five elements, the Yellow Emperor belongs to Tude, and the color of Tude is yellow, so yellow naturally became the main color in the palace of Chu State.

It wasn't until after entering Miyagi that Yu Xin felt for the first time the background of Chu State as one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and one of the former overlords among these palaces full of massiness and majesty.

After a while, Yu Xin's carriage stopped in front of the most magnificent palace.

The diplomat of Chu State appeared again: "Master Yu, this is the Phoenix Palace. My king and his ministers are already waiting in the palace. Please go ahead."

Yu Xin nodded, got out of the carriage, walked up the steps in front of him towards the Phoenix Palace.

After a while, Yu Xin entered the main hall of Feng Palace.Sure enough, as the Chu State diplomat said, hundreds of Chu State monarchs and ministers gathered together, waiting for his arrival.

Yu Xin subconsciously set his sights on the top of the hall, where sat a man wearing a crown and a fine attire, who was just thirty years old, with a Chinese character face, and looked quite square. The man you want, this is the current king of Chu, King Yuan of Chu Kaolie.

Yu Xin didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed to Chu Wang Yuan: "Zhao Chen Yuxin, I have met the king."

Chu Wangyuan nodded calmly, and nothing could be heard in his voice: "There is no need to be polite, please get up."

Yu Xin stood up and took a seat prepared for him.

As soon as Yu Xin took his seat, a minister of Chu State said, "I don't know why Qing Yu came here?"

If the other two envoys of the Zhao State, Su Dai and Zhao Sheng, were here, they would definitely think: "I have seen this scene before."

Well, the Warring States period has been a fixed diplomatic routine for hundreds of years.

Yu Qing coughed lightly, knowing that it was time for her to speak.

"I believe that coming here this time is actually a matter of Zhao and Chu uniting to resist the strong Qin."

"Husband Qin, a gluttonous gangster, first captured Guanzhong, then occupied Bashu, and then seized the Hexi land of Wei State, and even deceived Chu State with Zhang Yixiao's little guy. His desire to covet other countries is almost limitless. It is really hateful!"

"Today, the people of Zhao and the people of Qin are fighting in the land of Changping. The stalemate is desperate. If we get the help of the country of Chu, the people of Qin will be defeated. In this way, Zhao can win the party, and Chu can regain the capital of Ying. Both parties can benefit. I wonder what the king thinks?"

After Yu Xin's eloquent remarks, although the words were quite general, they basically explained what he wanted to say.

Then Yu Xin turned his attention to the king of Chu, Yuan, waiting for the king of Chu's answer.

But before Chu Wangyuan made any reaction, a voice sounded immediately.

"Yu Qing's words are absurd!"

Yu Xin turned his head and saw that the speaker was a minister of the Chu State who was at least fifty years old with a square face, a large forehead, a beard under his jaw, and gray temples.

It is worth mentioning that the seat of this Minister of the Chu State is the closest to King Yuan of Chu, and at the same time, he is at the head of the ministers of the Chu State.

Yu Xin took a deep breath and stared at the minister of Chu State: "I don't know what advice Chunshen Jun has?"

That's right, the one who jumped out to refute Yu Xin was Chunshenjun Huang Xie, the current number one official of the Chu Kingdom, among the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period".

Huang Xie is now the Ling Yin of the Chu State, and the Chu State does not have a Prime Minister. The position of Ling Yin holds the power equivalent to the Prime Minister of other countries, so this Chunshen Lord Huang Xie can also be regarded as the Prime Minister of Chu .

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the position of Yin Zhi in the state of Chu has been monopolized by the Zhao, Jing, and Qu clans. Huang Xie was able to break this monopoly mainly because he made great efforts to support Chu Wangyuan. , so he also won the trust of Chu Wangyuan, and he can be called Chu Wangyuan's right-hand man.

Seeing that Huang Xie was not in a hurry, he first saluted the leader of the Chu King Yuan, and then said: "In my opinion, the Qin State is now in full swing, the Qin King Ji is very powerful, and there are millions of soldiers. It is difficult for all countries."

"On the other hand, my great Chu, the country is now in decline, and it is time to recuperate and try to make a comeback. At this time, you must not use weapons rashly. It is also appropriate to be friendly with Qin. How can you help Zhao attack Qin? If you help Zhao, it will be in vain. What can I do if I lead the Qin army again?"
