Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

092

Two days later, Lord Xinling persuaded Wei Wangyu to formally summon the Qin envoy.

The atmosphere in Wei Tingzhong has never been so awkward as it is today.

No woman has ever entered the Wei court as a courtier, so that everyone from the King of Wei to the eunuchs did not know how to deal with the current situation.

In particular, Xia Yangjun, who was visiting as an envoy, was quite different from the rumors.

When Xia Yangjun first married Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, he was trapped in Handan together with the current Qin Wangzheng.After the siege of Handan was lifted, he did not leave, but stayed to protect Qin Wangzheng, who had not yet been protoned.

She not only successfully escorted the young Qin Wangzheng back to the country, but also promoted various reforms in the Qin country, and later eradicated the queen mother's party.All the way from the daughter of an ordinary scholar's family, she sat in the position of the monarch and teacher, and had her own fiefdom.

Qin and Wei are adjacent, and Lu Buwei started his business in Wei, and the case of Zhao Weizhen was introduced to Daliang early.

Even the king of Wei could not help but have a presupposition in his heart: a woman who can achieve such achievements should be an unscrupulous and vicious femme fatale.

But the real Xia Yangjun is completely different from the image in people's minds.

She stepped into the Wei Palace gracefully, dressed in a formal black and black court dress made by the Qin Dynasty, saluted as a gentleman, and looked dignified and beautiful when she raised her head, and she was surprisingly young.

"I have seen King Wei and Lord Xinling."

Zhao Weizhen graciously accepted all the gazes of Wei Tingshang and spoke frankly.

After saluting, she kept smiling, and turned to look at the middle-aged nobleman who was the first person under the throne: "A few days ago, Meng Kai visited Mr. Xinling, and Mr. Xinling said he was missing something, so why don't you see him today?"

There is some irony and teasing in the words.

Mr. Xinling was not polite either, he retorted on the spot: "I didn't see you before, but I don't know what capacity to meet, so I just didn't see you."

"I am the envoy of Qin, so Mr. Xinling will naturally meet me as a receptionist for the envoy of Qin." Zhao Weizhen asked without hesitation, "Why not?"

Seeing that the two had the intention of arguing at the Wei court, they completely put the king of Wei aside.

Wei Wangyu couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He was annoyed that Zhao Weizhen ignored his existence on the spot, and even more annoyed that she regarded Lord Xinling more than herself—maybe the latter accounted for more in King Wei's heart.

"Since you are the envoy of Qin, then you are here for the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Wei Wangyu said angrily: "Let's stop talking about what is there and what is not. It is still an important state affairs."

Zhao Weizhen nodded in agreement.

"The king of Wei is straightforward, and Meng Wei admires it." She smiled and said, "Then Meng Wei is not polite anymore. May I ask if the king of Wei has prepared the letter of credence?"

Wei Wang was taken aback: "What credential?"

Zhao Weizhen was straightforward: "Naturally, it is the letter of credence to cede territory and seek peace."

King Wei: "..."

After the weird silence, King Wei suddenly sat up straight.

"When did the widow say that he would cede the land and seek peace?!"

This time, Wei Wangyu was not only secretly annoyed, but when he mentioned the word "cedement", his tone was extremely heavy, and there was clearly a hint of anger on his face.

Zhao Weizhen pretended to be puzzled and tilted his head.

"Qin attacked Wei to take land." Zhao Weizhen took it for granted, "The king of Wei doesn't intend to cede land, so why talk about peace?"

King Wei... King Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Even though there were many wars in various vassal states, there were indeed so few pieces of land in order to win.But has there ever been an envoy who came to another country and opened his mouth to ask the king to cede the land?

Such arrogance, this is a clear grab!

"This is Wei Ting, how dare you say such a thing?" Wei Wang was both surprised and angry: "Is this the etiquette of Qin's envoys?"

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing.

She said indifferently: "Since the Wei people regard Meng Kai as a woman rather than a gentleman, then Meng Wei doesn't have to be a gentleman. The countries in the Central Plains regard Qin as a country of tigers and wolves, so Qin envoys don't need to do any formalities. Qin and Wei two countries Since Duke Xiao of Qin, he has been fighting for that little bit of land, if it wasn't for taking land and sending troops to fight, would the two countries be playing tricks?"

At the end, Zhao Weizhen stopped smiling and said his words with a clang.

"If the king of Wei wants to seek peace, he will cede the land himself. If he does not cede the land, he will fight. It is nothing more than me, Meng Wei, coming here for nothing. Today, I will take the scroll city and kill [-] of your Wei soldiers. If you continue to advance eastward tomorrow, you can behead your Wei soldiers. [-], [-], when the time comes, the city and the land will still be lost, but the loss of King Wei is not as simple as a few pieces of land!"

Zhao Weizhen spoke confidently and fluently. The more she spoke, the more startled Wei Wang became.

Not because she opened her mouth in surprise, but——

How consistent is this bandit logic with that of King Qin Zhao of the past!

Wei Wangyu has been in power for more than 20 years, and for more than [-] years, he has been worried about the movements of King Qin Zhao.Qin and Wei often go to war. Even if there is no war, if Qin goes to attack other countries, the king of Qin will specially send envoys to threaten him, telling the king of Wei not to send troops to help.

He had long been frightened by King Qin Zhao's rogue and robber style, and it was not until his death that Wei Wangyu heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before Qin Guo, who had recuperated for several years, became tough again.

All the courtiers of his state of Qin came to Wei Ting to make fun of him!

"You, you..."

Recalling the past years, Wei Wangyu couldn't help muttering: "Such a style is actually the same as Qin Wangji."

"The news about King Wei is too ill-informed."

Zhao Weizhen seems to be mocking, like reminding: "The king of Qin is in power now."

King Wei looked over in surprise, "How much land does King Qin want?"

That's it, why did you go early?

Zhao Weizhen didn't think there was any problem with being a dominator in Wei Ting at all.

She has to be tough, even tougher than men, in order to withstand the scene of one person fighting against the whole court.

And Zhao Weizhen really has nothing to fear: You are the ones who say that the country of tigers and wolves is shameless, and you are the ones who say that women do not know what to do when they go to court!Then isn't this a reason for Zhao Weizhen to extort and extort money from identity to gender?

She is a woman, not a gentleman, if you want to discuss it with a gentleman's etiquette, then you go to the gentleman and talk to her.

"Please ask the king of Wei to write a letter of state."

Zhao Weizhen said loudly: "Cede to Qin State the twenty cities bordering Qin in the southwest of Puyang and other places."

Wei Wangyu: "..."

Twenty cities!

As soon as she opened her mouth, there were a total of twenty cities!

Before the king of Wei could respond, Lord Xinling immediately came out in a rage.

He stepped forward and even drew the sword from his waist.The unsheathed bronze sword exposed a three-inch blade, reflecting a cold light in Wei Ting.

"You dare to say that." Lord Xinling gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of the bloody nature of the Wei people, and I will kill you on the spot, so that you can't walk out of the threshold of this palace!"

Zhao Weizhen glanced at Lord Xinling's saber, not only did not show timidity, but laughed out loud.

Probably hundreds of years ago, the unscrupulous laughter of women has never been heard in this palace.

"Mr. Xinling wants to be a hero, then come!"

Zhao Weizhen directly opened his hands.

"Just please think about it before you do it, my lord. The wrath of a common man will only bleed for five steps*, and Meng Kai will die. But if you kill the envoy of Qin and the teacher of the king of Qin, is your lord willing to bear the wrath of the king of Qin?"

Today, Zhao Weizhen is the villain, she will definitely be it!

"Your majesty is so quick to give yourself a reputation for maintaining dignity, have you ever thought about the consequences it will bring to the Wei country?" Not only must she be arrogant, but she also did not forget to use every stitch to sow discord: "Today Meng Wei died in the Here, it is nothing more than giving Qin an excuse to attack Wei, and then your Wei State will lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles*, even if your country is finally destroyed, so what?!"

Mr. Xinling: "You—"

He pointed at Zhao Weizhen, the anger in his chest was victorious, but there was also a sense of powerlessness slowly rising.

The powerlessness lies in that Zhao Weizhen is right.

By killing her, the matter can indeed be resolved, but Lord Xinling and even the State of Wei cannot afford the aftermath!

In the past, when Zhao Weizhen was still working as the wife of a restaurant in Handan, Mr. Pingyuan did not dare to touch her easily due to the relationship between Qin and Zhao.Now she is Xia Yangjun, a life is so much more important than back then, how can she just kill it?

Moreover, Qin State can ask for it casually, but Wei State cannot refuse it outright.

They can't fight, and they can't fight anymore.

Today's Qin State is strong and powerful, and its soldiers are fierce, even worse than in the past.As Zhao Weizhen said, if you don't give it, you won't give it. She made a trip for nothing, but the Qin army stationed in Juancheng can continue to move eastward, and can snatch the land that should have been peacefully ceded at any time.

"I knew today."

Lord Xinling squeezed out a cruel sentence from between his teeth: "You shouldn't have been allowed to walk out of Handan alive back then!"

Zhao Weizhen laughed: "It's a pity that Mr. Xinling doesn't have the ability to predict the future. If you have it, how can you live in Handan for ten years?"

Her one sentence was nominally to criticize Lord Xinling, but it made Wei Wangyu change his face on the spot.

Lord Xinling stole amulets to save Zhao, and the Wei army returned to Wei, but Lord Xinling stayed in Zhao.

Both he and the king of Wei knew very well: stealing military talismans is a serious crime, if he had gone back at that time, Lord Xinling was doomed to die.

Now Zhao Weizhen mentioned the past in front of the two brothers, not only to slap them in the face, but also to remind King Wei of what happened back then.

"okay!"

Wei Wangyu was afraid that Lord Xinling would really kill Zhao Weizhen in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly said, "Take your sword back, it will make everyone dizzy."

Lord Xinling: "..."

He took a deep breath and had to return the unsheathed sharp blade.

"Puyang can't give it."

When the King of Wei spoke, he was afraid and at the same time he couldn't help but feel pain: "As for the cession of the twenty cities to the west and south, let the widows consider it."

Only then did Zhao Weizhen lower his arms and smile again.

She was born with the appearance of a girl from the Northland, and her smile was extremely bright, even a little beaming.It seemed that the dispute just now didn't involve life and death, and she didn't come here for state affairs, and her conversation was like entertaining guests in a wine shop.

"It's still King Wei who understands righteousness."

Zhao Weizhen smiled and said: "For the sake of the people, don't see swords and swords, don't hurt people and die. If you are so benevolent, the people of Wei will thank the king. Although Puyang is not allowed to follow my king's wishes, Meng Wei is willing to bear the responsibility for the dereliction of duty for the king of Wei." guilt."

King Wei laughed a few times: "Do I still have to thank you, my widow?"

Zhao Weizhen hurriedly saluted: "The ministers dare not."

"Go down, I want to discuss this matter with my minister Haosheng."

The king of Wei waved his hand, and said to drive people away: "Please also ask Mr. Xia Yang to go back to the post house to rest, and we will inform you after the result of the discussion."

"Yes."

Threats and persuasion, um, mainly threats, Zhao Weizhen's purpose of coming is clear, and the goal has been achieved, and the rest depends on how Wei Wang and Wei Chen operate.

She didn't stay too long to be annoying, and after getting the approval, she saluted again and turned to leave.

King Wei stared at Zhao Weizhen's back disappearing into Wei Ting in a daze, feeling like a dream.

He originally thought that after the death of King Qin Zhao, the state of Qin lost two monarchs in a row. The new monarch is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, so he can give Wei the hope of respite.

Unexpectedly...

This state of Qin is even more aggressive than in previous years.

"Even women dare to use it." Wei Wang said to himself: "No wonder Qin is getting more and more powerful now."

"Brother Wang!"

Lord Xinling hastened to warn: "Don't build up other people's ambitions in Wei Ting."

"Then what do you say the widow will do?!"

Unexpectedly, Lord Xinling's words would completely anger Wei Wangyu.

The arrogant anger of the Qin envoy just now is completely aroused now.The king of Wei was incapable and furious: "Is it impossible for the widow to really send Wei Zu to sacrifice the sword of Qin State?!"

Lord Xinling: "..."

He wasn't angry when he saw Mr. Xia Yang, but he got angry in front of his own people.

King Wei blamed Lord Xinling so angrily, he felt extremely chilled.

…………

……

As for how Wei Ting discussed after leaving, it has nothing to do with Zhao Weizhen.

She walked out of Wei Palace easily, and Wei Xing prepared the carriage early.

Seeing Zhao Weizhen coming out, Wei Xing hurried forward and asked, "Madam, how are you?"

Only then did Zhao Weizhen raise his head and took out his handkerchief, wiping the tiny sweat that oozed from his temples.

This is Zhao Weizhen's first business trip to perform official duties!

"It's not bad," she said with satisfaction, "Thank you, Doctor Liu Xiang!"

Wei Xing: "Huh? Who is Liu Xiang??"

Naturally, the person who organized and compiled "Warring States Policy", Liu Xiangleo of the Western Han Dynasty.

The wrath of the people and the wrath of the emperor mentioned in Wei Tingshang is the story of Tang Ju meeting the King of Qin and persuading him in "Warring States Policy Wei Policy Four".According to the research of historians, this story should be a literary play, and it did not actually happen.

But when Zhao Weizhen said it, he found that the threat of the original text was indeed quite deterrent, and it easily achieved her original intention of not giving in to Wei Ting.

Speak harshly first, and if you really want to cede the land afterwards, you can discuss it carefully.Zhao Weizhen didn't really want the twenty cities - as she said, if you don't give it, Qin can still fight.

sooner or later.

Compared with negotiating peace, she cared more about the relationship between Lord Xinling and Wei Wangyu.

Wei Wangyu was afraid that Qin would fight again, so he asked three times and four times, and invited Lord Xinling back from Handan.

But just a few words are enough to make Zhao Weizhen understand that Wei Wangyu is still very afraid of Lord Xinling.

"Let the caravan come faster." Zhao Weizhen said, "Just wait for the ten thousand taels of gold."

"Yes."

Wei Xing nodded: "I'm going to ask about the situation, and..."

"what?"

"Just got the news." Wei Xing lowered his voice: "Zhao Wang () Dan passed away, madam, Crown Prince Yan has just ascended the throne."

Zhao Weizhen was taken aback.

Wei Xing: "Madam?"

She took a deep breath: "Great!!!"

Wei Xing: "..."

He couldn't bear to look directly at him and said, "Ma'am, pay attention!"

That's enough to pay attention to!

If it wasn't for people in Daliang, or outside, Zhao Weizhen would have to set off firecrackers and dance on the spot to celebrate.

King Zhao Xiaocheng is dead!

Prince Yan is in power, and it will not be far from the end of the disaster for him and his son in Zhao Guo!Is there anything more joyful than having an enemy like a pig in power?

Moreover, after he took office, the first thing he did was to change generals before the battle, which created a rift between Le Cheng and General Lian Po, which caused General Lian Po to leave Zhao.

Zhao Weizhen was so excited: "Hurry up, send someone to Fanyang to inquire about old General Lianpo!"
