emperor of a dynasty

The palace guard stepped forward to touch Concubine Li's pulse, and shook his head at the King of Chu. After getting the result, the King of Chu was in a trance for a while, and sat down on the ground with his ears buzzing. Even Yan Wuwei didn't know when he left. have no idea.

The next day after seeing King Chu, Minister of Chu Zhang Sui came to the inn where Yan Wuwei lived. When he came, Fang Hua was taking Yan Wuwei to exercise in the courtyard. After Wuwei's wound recovered, he pulled Yan Wuwei to punch every day, but Yan Wuwei had a submissive attitude and cooperated closely, which made Mu Congcong secretly envy Fang Hua for a long time, secretly thinking more than a hundred and eighty If only her husband could follow her in everything.

"Calm down the dantian, breathe evenly, punch..."

Yan Wuwei followed Fang Hua's movements one by one, and seemed quite serious, keeping his eyes on his nose, his nose, his heart, and his ears not listening to outside affairs. She didn't even notice that the servants brought Zhang Sui into the small courtyard.

"Sink, close your fists..."

Zhang Sui was also very savvy, and after explaining the purpose of coming with his subordinates, he stood in the corner of the small courtyard by himself, folded his arms in front of his chest, watched Yan Wuwei learning boxing for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking, and then Seeing Yan Wuwei's posture, he felt that he had finished a set of punches before going forward to salute Yan Wuwei, "Next to Zhang Sui, I met Prime Minister Yan."

Yan Wuwei had just rested when he heard someone calling her. Before he had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he subconsciously turned his head to the side. Seeing that it was Zhang Sui, he raised his eyebrows and said inexplicably, "—Xiangguo?"

"It's me, it's me..." Zhang Sui saluted again, "This old man is here to disturb Prime Minister Yan again, Prime Minister Yan... are you busy?"

"Hey, isn't it because I'm in poor health? The subordinates said they would take me to punch and keep fit." Yan Wuwei said so, then wiped his sweat with the square scarf on his hand, and said to Zhang Sui with a smile, "How is Xiangguo today?" Are you free to come to the station?"

"At the end of many days, I will meet Yan Xiang, and I really want to come here."

Yan Wuwei just smiled. Seeing that it was still early, he turned sideways and discussed with Fang Hua, who was holding his fists on his chest, "Why don't we practice here today? I have a guest here."

Fang Hua was easy to talk to, but he just glanced at Zhang Sui a few more times and said, "Then I'll come and see Miss later."

"OK."

So Fanghua bowed and retired.

After Fang Hua left, Yan Wuwei first invited Zhang Sui to sit down at the stone table, washed his hands, and made tea for Zhang Sui himself. My body is not fully recovered yet, how dare the old man let Xiang Xiang work for me?"

"Where did Xiangguo say that? It's too polite." Yan Wuwei handed the tea to Zhang Sui respectfully after making the tea, and said humbly, "Wuwei can survive in Chu'an until today, all thanks to Among them, Mr. Zhang is doing nothing to help each other, and this cup of tea is for Wuwei to respect Mr. Zhang."

Hearing this, Zhang Sui smiled and sighed, "Mr. Yan is serious."

Zhang Sui took the cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Master Yan, do you know what the old man is talking about today?"

Yan Wuwei smiled lightly, as if he had expected that Zhang Sui would ask her this way, "Of course it's for peace talks between the two countries."

"Oh? Since Prime Minister Yan already knows, then...?"

Yan Wuwei smiled and didn't speak, just making tea, Zhang Sui murmured in his heart when he looked at it lightly and calmly. In addition, he had never dealt with Yan Wuwei much, so he was always calm and calm. Zhang Sui was also unexpectedly a little impatient:

"Yan Xiang?"

Yan Wuwei drank his tea and never mentioned the peace talks, but said, "Xiangguo, I wonder if this tea can be imported by Xiangguo?"

After hearing Yan Wuwei's words, Zhang Sui put his mind on the tea in his hand again, took a sip, and said, "It's slightly astringent in the mouth, but the fragrance lingers—it's good tea."

"Does Xiangguo know where this tea is produced?"

Zhang Sui frowned, "This is difficult for me, I really don't know much about tea ceremony."

Yan Wuwei smiled, "This is the tea produced by Qin Xi."

"Oh? Produced by Qin Xi?" Zhang Sui became interested after hearing this, "But as far as I know, Qin Xi is barren and has little water, and tea is delicate and delicate. How could this tea... come from Qin Xi?"

Yan Wuwei took a sip of his tea and said with a low laugh, "Xiangguo is right. Qinxi is indeed barren and lacks water. Naturally, tea trees cannot grow in such an environment."

"That……"

"Many years ago, a king of Qin traveled to other countries. When the king of other countries received the king of Qin, he used the best tea to entertain him. Qin's land is poor and remote, with a lot of people and little land. How can there be idle fields to grow tea? So that was the first tea that the king of Qin drank." Yan Wuwei said lightly, "tea is the way of the king. Then the king of Qin liked it after drinking it just once, so he asked the king for some tea trees. After returning home, plant them in the land of Qin, so that the people of Qin can also drink tea." Yan Wuwei looked at Zhang Sui and asked, "But does Xiangguo know how that king rejected King Qin?"

"how?"

"He said: 'Your land is poor and far away, dripping water is like oil, and trees are as valuable as gold; the tea seedlings are young and tender, Qin is not my land, give him tea, and the iron trees bloom'." Yan Wuwei said lightly, "He used Compared with the iron tree, if the tea tree comes to Qin, it is impossible for tea to grow on the land of Qin when the iron tree blooms."

Zhang Sui frowned invisibly, thinking that the king really had sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, so he was not afraid to be hated by people who sarcastically satirized the Qin State... Even though he was thinking like this, he was still quite witty, he didn't speak, just listened Yan Wuwei said:

"Whether the speaker intends it or not, the listener has a heart, and these words have become the heart disease of the King of Qin, like a gnat in his throat, and he will not rest for a long time.

Of course, what he is worried about is not that Qin has no tea trees, but what he is worried about is that the Qin land is so barren, how will the children and grandchildren deal with themselves?That is, the king of Qin, who has been working hard since then to expand the land and expand the frontiers. He has lived on the army and horses all his life, and vowed to let tea trees grow on the land of Qin. "

"..."

"Does Xiangguo want to ask, if what Wuwei said is true, why hasn't there been a large-scale tea tree to pick in Qin?"

Zhang Sui coughed lightly, "Master Yan was joking..."

"That's because those lands have been planted with food, feeding the people of the entire Qin State..." Yan Wuwei said leisurely, "Only when the people have food and are full, can the king enjoy a little more. That Qin King After that, his descendants kept in mind the regrets of their ancestors, and spent more than [-] years in the remote Qinxi land boundary, and finally planted a tea tree—does Xiangguo want to know how it was planted?"

"how?"

"Fill soil to build mountains, dig ground to build canals." Yan Wuwei said indifferently, "It's just these simple eight words, but it is so difficult to do it. It took more than [-] years of hard work and hard work by many Qin people. Let the tea trees grow from the Qin land where people joked that "give the tea to the other, and the iron tree will bloom". Don't steal, don't grab, don't occupy the farmland, and don't occupy the fields. Only in this way can there be tea in Xiangguo's cup. "Yan Wuwei filled Zhang Sui's cup with tea, "Even so, it cannot be planted in large quantities. In Qinxi's sixty miles of land, there are only a few acres that can grow tea, and only half of those acres If the most tea can be picked, the other half will be dust to dust, and if the loss is removed in the middle, the finished product will only be three or four hundred catties. Xiangguo might as well guess again, how much of the three or four hundred catties of tea will be able to enter in the end? Palace, made a tribute, poured into my king's cup?"

Zhang Sui thought for a while and said, "A hundred catties?"

Yan Wuwei shook his head.

"half?"

Strictly do nothing to restore it.

"That's...all of it?"

Yan Wuwei smiled, "It's less than ten catties."

"Ten catties?!"

Yan Wuwei explained, "Half of the finished tea will go to the market, and half of it will go to the national treasury. The tea in the treasury will belong to the ministers first, and then the princes and generals. The king of Qin will belong to the last one. Of course, if When the year is bad, maybe the ten catties will not be there.”

"This, this, this..." Zhang Sui said in surprise, "The king of a country...is that so?!"

"First the people and then the ministers, and first the ministers and then the king. Without the people, there would be no ministers, and if there were no ministers, how could there be a king?" Yan Wuwei asked, "Isn't it right?"

Zhang Sui was stopped by Yan Wuwei's question for a while, even though it was true, in the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it be the minister of the king.It has always been the only truth that the monarch comes first and the people come first, how can you dare to say so?

That is, after hearing Yan Wuwei's words, Zhang Sui realized that the "minshui junzhou" in the book he read when he was young really existed in this world. In that country, the king would really love the people as much as he could. son.

In this way, it is no wonder that Qin Guo can have the status it has today.

Seeing that Zhang Sui was silent, Yan Wuwei said again, "The Prime Minister knows that all the other countries laugh at us, that Great Qin is far away and does not join the alliance, but such a Qin State has never greedy for a piece of land or land from other countries.

If tea cannot be grown, the Qin people will buy it at a high price.If you can't afford it, you don't drink it, so you come here.Xiangguo, is that what Wuwei said? "

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sui smiled coldly after hearing this, "Have you never been greedy? Then how should Prime Minister Yan explain Bashu?"

"Bashu?" Yan Wuwei pretended to be surprised and asked back, "Master Zhang doesn't know that Bashu is the territory of our Qin people? This is Qin's internal affairs, and other countries have nothing to do with it."

"You, you, you..." Zhang Sui was furious when he heard this, "Internal affairs?! No one in the world knows that Ba and Shu are governed by the boundary. Yes, Shu and Qin are indeed related, but the ancestors of Ba have lived there for generations. , there is a state of Lu separated from Qin State in the middle, why? Can this also involve your Qin State's internal affairs?"

"Look at Wuwei's memory. When it comes to Ba, Xiangguo may not know that Ba and Qin have been related by marriage more than once. They are still a big family with Qin. The family helps each other. Outsiders can't say anything, right? Besides, Ba Guo asked to come to Qin's court, why? Qin is also wrong?"

Zhang Sui knew in his heart that the matter of Bashu must be taken over by the Qin State, and he could not get any benefits, so he said again, "Hmph, the words are unreasonable, let me ask you: what about the State of Lu? Could it be that the State of Lu also obtained the State of Qin by itself?" Did the court beg Qin to attack him?"

"That's not true." Yan Wuwei tapped the table with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "It's just that Lu Guoyou didn't know Mount Tai, so he helped the Wei State, and Wei State—" Yan Wuwei lowered his voice, "Wei State and Qin State It is a world feud! Why did the former kings and princes die in battle, and why my king was forced to return to the capital to ascend the throne? These kings of Wei knew it well, and so did my king.

The people of Qin never covet people's cities, but if someone invades my Qin city, Xiangguo, what do you think Qin should do?

Is it Shinobu?Yes and?Or war? !

--war!Of course it is war, everyone knows what I Qin Jian is referring to, invincible, invincible!But does Xiangguo think that Qin is really willing to fight with others every day, every year? !No, Qin Guo is not willing, that's why I came to Chu with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and sat here with Xiangguo to discuss important matters between the two countries.

Qin people don't hold grudges, but Qin people don't forget grudges either. If Na Laiguo dared to take advantage of the situation to attack our border and kill our Qin soldiers, he should have the consciousness of subjugating the country today when he made that decision! "

"What?!—Lai Guo is dead?!" Zhang Sui suddenly shouted loudly, horrified, "The people of Qin are detestable! Lai Guo is our vassal state of Chu. If Qin is like this, it is tantamount to declaring war with Chu!"

"Declaration of war?!" With a cold face, Yan Wuwei raised his head to meet Zhang Sui's gaze, and said word by word, "A small country dares to attack Qin, what's behind it, Xiangguo really doesn't know or thinks that I, Qin, won't Know?"

Zhang Sui was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up against the case, and cursed, "Okay, okay, it's so, it's so! No wonder the 30 Qin army wants to suppress my Chu state, no wonder it's so, they want to blackmail my king!

—— Yan Wuwei!King Qin's wolfish ambition is punished by everyone in the world! "
