Yingdu.

On this day, Zuo Yin Zhao often returned from the envoy Qin State, and after entering the palace to report on his work, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he knew that the senior doctor Jing Shao was already waiting in the mansion.

Seeing this, Shotsune immediately walked towards the middle of the hall.

Before entering the hall, just walking to the door, Zhao Chang saw Jing Shao sitting anxiously in the host and guest seats, seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Doctor!" ”

On the other side, Jing Shao saw Zhao Chang coming in, and immediately showed a smile: "Zuo Yin, you are finally back." ”

Zhao Chang smiled when he heard this, and after sitting on the main seat, he asked Jing Shao strangely: "Doctor, I don't know what happened, I actually bothered the doctor to wait in my house." ”

"Alas!" Jing Shao shook his head and sighed: "It's not for the sake of changing the law, during this time, the six monarchs have frequently sent letters urging me, accusing me of not doing my best, and intending to be treacherous, they muttered that they want to break off friendship with me, this matter is worrying to me." ”

"Huh? Doctor, what is the matter? Zhao Chang frowned and said: "When I visited the Qin State, it was difficult to transmit the news, and I only knew that Liujun and others were training troops in the fiefdom, but I didn't know why Liujun and others were anxious, so that they were about to break off friendship. ”

"Zuo Yin, here's the thing." Jing Shao explained: "Previously, the six monarchs conspired with Zaixia, and the six monarchs mobilized the nobles on the Jianghuai side to recruit the common people to train the army in order to put pressure on the king. At the same time, he was in charge of liaising with the ministers of the court and the central government, and instigated the ministers of Yingdu to exert pressure on the king.

In this way, Yingdu echoed Jianghuai from afar, and in addition, he borrowed the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin, and it was very likely that on the grounds of bad intentions of our Chu State, they combined internal and external forces to put pressure on the king to stop changing the law. ”

When Zhao Chang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yingdu and the locality, both domestic and foreign, jointly put pressure on the king, this is a good idea!" However, why did the six monarchs break off their friendship with the doctor? ”

"Alas! It's hard to put into words. Jing Shao sighed and said, "It's the king who has an accident." ”

"What accident?"

"Originally, according to my prediction with the six monarchs, at the most critical beginning stage of the king's change, as long as the six monarchs make a little noise on the Jianghuai side, it will inevitably cause the king to be furious, and then the king will issue an edict to reprimand and hold them accountable. Next, he will unite with the courtiers to distinguish the six monarchs, and then lead the affairs of the six monarchs to the law change, and finally set off a big wave to extinguish the spark of the law change.

However, to our surprise, before we could act, the king was persuaded to do so. Then, the king didn't bother to ask Jianghuai about the king. ”

Zhao Chang frowned and said, "But that guy Qu Yuan has already seen through your purpose, so he instructed Qu Yuan to persuade the king in advance." ”

Jing Shao shook his head and said, "No, it's that guy who has a different heart." ”

"This..." Zhao Chang was stunned and looked at Jing Shao in disbelief: "How is this possible?" ”

"It should be true." Jing Shao explained the transaction between Qu and the six monarchs, and then sighed: "Because of the king's change of law, the private family of our nobles have more or less fled, and it is reasonable for Qu to be dissatisfied with the change of law because of this.

Besides, as far as I know, that guy not only let his youngest son go to Jianghuai, but also let his second son go to Qi State, although he went under the banner of study tour, but in my opinion, he must have taken refuge in Qi State.

These signs show that Qu Zhi should not be optimistic about changing the law, so he left a way back in advance. ”

"I see." Zhao Chang smiled and nodded, he could understand what he was doing. Moreover, he now knows why Jing Shao is in trouble.

"Therefore, because the king turned a blind eye to the actions of the six monarchs, the doctor could not find an opportunity to unite his ministers to attack the king."

"Exactly." Jing Shao nodded and said, "Originally, there were only six gentlemen and five people who acted, and it didn't affect the overall situation at all. But now there are nearly twenty feudal monarchs acting on the Jianghuai side, and the king, under the persuasion of Qu Zhi, still thinks that the behavior of the six monarchs in the fief is a normal behavior, rather than putting pressure on the king.

In this way, although I have the heart to speak to the king, I also suffer from the lack of excuses. It is precisely because the ministers in the Yingdu have not moved for a long time that the six monarchs think that they have broken the contract and betrayed their promises. ”

Speaking of this, Jing Shao looked at Zhao Chang and said, "Originally, with the strength of my Jing family, it was difficult to shake the king's determination. Now that Zuo Yin has returned, it gives me confidence, with the strength of you and I Zhaojing, the defeat of the joint court division will definitely put great pressure on the king, and the six monarchs and others echo in Jianghuai, they will be able to dissuade the king. ”

When Zhao Chang heard this, he already understood why Jing Shao had not acted for a long time before.

One is that Jing Shao's own status is not enough, and it is difficult to integrate Si Shi and others.

Second, the Jing clan is mostly in the army, and Sima Jing has been closed for many days, resulting in many Jing clan people in a wait-and-see state, relying on Jing Shao alone, the appeal is not enough, and the strength is very reluctant.

The third Jing Shao also wanted to pull the Zhao clan into the water and share the risk of embarrassment with the king, so he waited until now.

However, Jing Shao's mind is exactly what he wants, and it should be him who is always here.

Thinking about it, Zhao Chang nodded: "Since this is the case, then it is natural to respond to the actions of the doctor."

In this way, I just returned to the capital next day, and I plan to set up a banquet tonight, and invite Xianyin Si and Tingli and others to come for a while, I don't know what the doctor thinks. ”

Jing Shao saw that as soon as Zhao Chang spoke, he took the position of the leader over, he knew that his status and prestige were not as good as Zhao Chang, and the contact with the ministers during this period of time also made him know that he could not lead the ministers, and the action against the king still needed Zhao's action, and he said very freely at the moment: "Good." ”

When Zhao Chang heard this, he also smiled and nodded: "Good." ”

At the same time, in the Chu Palace.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen and said, "The widow is looking for Xianqing, but he doesn't want to, but Xianqing took the initiative to enter the palace." I don't know what is important for Xianqing to enter the palace this time? ”

Chen Zhen responded: "King, it's about Qi and Wei, the spies came to report, not long ago the kings of the six countries gathered in Daliang, and the King of Wei sent an envoy for the third time to invite Qi Xiangtian Wen to Wei to serve as the prime minister of Wei with the consent of the King of Qi.

This time, the king of Wei can be said to be full of sincerity, when the envoy of Wei went to Qi, he brought a hundred cars, a thousand gold, several treasures, and even brought a piece of Xiangyin to Qi.

As long as Tian Wen nodded, he could go directly to Wei to serve as the prime minister. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, when the King of Qi had not left Linzi to go to Daliang, the King of Wei had already sent two waves of envoys to Qi to ask Tian Wen to be the prime minister, but unfortunately, Tian Wen did not agree.

Originally, Xiong Huai thought that after King Wei was slapped in the face twice, he would stop, but he didn't want King Wei to be so thick-skinned, and after being rejected twice, he even invited him for the third time, and this third gift was still so rich.

Looking at the thatched house three times, even Zhuge Liang was moved, not to mention the Tian Wen who deceived the world and stole his name!

I think that Tian Wen has been moved by the sincerity of King Wei!

If Tian Wen went to Wei, Kuang Zhang was dead, and Tian Wen went to Wei, then Tian would have no face in Qi. This is a great improvement in the relationship between the Tian clan and the King of Qi.

In this regard, Xiong Huai had to give King Wei a big thumbs up in his heart, King Wei did what he always wanted to do but didn't do, what a god assisted.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai was overjoyed and said: "King Wei's sincerity is so deep, under the condition that King Qi has already expressed that Tian Wen will be able to make his own decision, I think Tian Wen will not refuse King Wei again." ”

"No, the king, Na Tian Wen once again rejected the invitation of the king of Wei." Chen Zhen shook his head and sighed, he was also very sorry in his heart.

"What's the matter, the King of Wei used five cities to exchange Tian Wen for Qi State, and also invited him with a courtesy, Tian Wen is so faceless, isn't he afraid that Qi Wei will turn against him?"

"King!" Chen Zhen explained: "According to the report from the spies, Tian Wen had already moved when King Wei invited him for the third time, but he happened to meet General Qi's son, who was seriously ill and dying.

Therefore, in order to help Tian Jia compete for the position of the chief general of the Qi State, Tian Wen rejected Wei Xiang's invitation.

Moreover, according to the news that we should have received in Wei, although Tian Wenming resigned from Wei Xiang on the surface, he had secretly promised Wei that as long as Tian Jia sat firmly in the position of the chief general of Qi State, then Tian Wen would resign from Qi Xiang and then go to Wei State to serve as Prime Minister. ”

"Is this news true?" Xiong Huai frowned deeply when he heard this, if Tian Jia became the chief general of the Qi State, and then Tian Wen went to the Wei State to serve as the prime minister, in this way, the Tian family's power in the Qi State would become even stronger.

This was extremely detrimental to the plan of dividing the King of Qi and the Tian clan.

"This news should be true." Chen Zhen confirmed: "According to the news of the State of Qi, after being rejected by Tian Wen, the envoy of the State of Wei not only did not become angry, but also praised Tian Wen's loyalty, and even in order to express his respect for Tian Wen, he also directly ceded the five cities prepared before for the exchange of Tian Wen to the State of Qi, and gave the gift to Tian Wen, and then returned to Wei with a hundred empty cars. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

After thinking about it, Xiong Huai's eyes were cold, and then he ordered: "Xianqing, immediately let people make up a nursery rhyme that ridicules Tian Jia for being captured by the Chu State twice, and then immediately spread it to Linzi, Daliang, and the widow wants to ruin Tian Jia's reputation and become the chief general of the Qi State." ”

"Yui."
