Huang Xie rushed to the roadside pavilion to observe before Yu Qing, the envoy of Zhao, arrived in Zhengcheng. Sure enough, we saw envoys from Zhao coming. Huang Xie had never heard of Yu Qing before, so he was observing him carefully. But Yu Qing actually looked over here and pointed here, causing the Korean envoys to look back. The two sides are not far apart, and although the voices are hard to hear, the movements and shapes can be distinguished one by one. The Han envoy probably recognized them as the Chu envoys and ignored them. He just led the Zhao envoys to the city where they were staying.
After watching envoy Zhao leave, Huang Xie asked everyone to pack their things and go to envoy Qin's place together. When he arrived at the city gate, Huang Xie explained his identity, and the guard reported in. After a while, he came out and said: "Jing Yangjun respectfully invites the prince of Chu and his left disciple."
Huang Xie and the prince entered the city, but their entourage and guards were blocked outside the city. Huang Xie had no choice but to ask them to wait outside the door. A doctor brought the two people into the main palace, walked through the courtyard, and directly entered the hall without announcing anything. Both Jing Yangjun and Hu Yang were present in the hall. They just knelt down and crossed their hands to greet him, indicating that they should sit down in the guest seats opposite. The prince and Huang Xie bowed respectfully to the two of them and sat down across from each other in a polite manner.
Almost without wasting any words, Jingyang Jun asked directly: "The prince is in vain, he must be taught something!"
Huang Xie said: "The prince heard that Zhao sent Yu Qing to come. However, Chu and Yu Qing have never heard of it. Qin and Zhao are brothers; and Chu are relatives. The prince wants to pay homage to Qin!"
Lord Jingyang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Huang Xie to raise such a topic. He felt that it was difficult for him to cope, so he looked at Hu Yang. Hu Yang replied cautiously: "If the prince wants to visit the envoy of Zhao, please come to the east."
Huang Xie said: "The prince's worship of Yu Qing is not for military and national affairs, but to consolidate the good relationship between Chu and Jin, and to pay homage to the minister. If you enter according to Han, there may be inconvenience. I entrust it to Qin."
Hu Yang nodded silently. Lord Jingyang went outside and ordered a public official to pay homage to the envoy from Zhao and wait for him. The envoy from Qin and the envoy from Chu paid their respects together.
When Lord Jingyang sat back on his seat, Huang Xie paid his respects and said, "I follow my king's teachings and wear ten strands of beads and ten stones of water chestnuts. I would like to offer them to the Queen Mother. She will be there the day after tomorrow."
Lord Jingyang said: "Why is the king so troublesome?"
Huang Xie said: "I report to the king that the Queen Mother loves her homeland deeply and wants to get water chestnuts and pendants to comfort her heart. Our king did not dare to make a mistake, so he urgently ordered Yin to supervise the affairs day and night. Fortunately, it was done. The king took a bath and fasted, then worshiped. hair."
Lord Jingyang said: "The king of Chu has given me such a favor, and I and my mother are deeply impressed by it!"
Huang Xie said: "If you wear a pearl, you should put it in a box, line it with light silk, and wrap it with silk yarn. If you wear it with ten stones, you will need two boats. If you use a car to enter the Qin Dynasty, the road is far away and the mountains are dangerous, and it will be inconvenient to carry it. Please use a boat to enter. Qin, can it be obtained?"
Hu Yang said: "The road has a huge gap and can be entered into Luo via the river. From Luo to Hangu, the water is rapid and the shoals are dangerous, so it is impossible to cross. After leaving Hangu, one has to enter the Wei River and then reach Xianyang."
Huang Xie said: "I am a young man who enters Qin, and I don't know the way. I dare to ask the master for guidance, which one is appropriate."
Hu Yang said: "According to what I see, if the number is only ten stones, it can be carried by a husband. There are merchants in Zheng who are familiar with Qin, and they may be consulted."
Huang Xiefu bowed and said, "I am so stupid, but fortunately it was Hu Qing who enlightened me!"
When the discussion between the two was lively, the official who had gone to Zhao's residence to make an appointment for a meeting came back and reported: "Zhao knows that Qin and Chu are worshiping together. If he refuses to say goodbye, he will wait for you respectfully!"
Huang Xie said: "When Zhao arrived for the first time, he found that there was no work and chaos!"
Dr. Gong said: "There may be some work, but there will be no chaos."
Huang Xie looked at Lord Jingyang, who said, "Since you agreed, let's go."
The four of them stood up. The prince and Huang Xie were still the same people as before, while Lord Jingyang and Hu Yang prepared a car and ordered a hundred Qin soldiers to go with them. There were no chariots on the Chu side, and the prince and Huang Xie were on foot. There were only ten Chu soldiers, and they were inconspicuous among the Qin soldiers. Soon, the news that the Qin envoy visited the Zhao envoy spread in the market.
Yu Qing did not sit in front of the hall and wait like Lord Jingyang did, but stood at the city gate early to wait. From a distance, I saw that there was only one car arriving, and I was wondering: Wasn't it said that there were envoys from the two countries? Coming in the same car? When he was doubtful, the car stopped ten feet away. Two people jumped out of the car. One of them stood still holding the car. Two more people walked out from behind the car, and the three of them walked over together. When he arrived ten steps away from Yu Qing, Huang Xie stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "Jingyang Junfu, the envoy of Qin, and Prince Wan, the envoy of Chu, would like to pay homage to Yu Qing, the envoy of Zhao!"
Yu Qing had no one else, so he could only respond by himself: "Your Majesty, your guest, the Yu family, would like to greet Qin's envoy Jingyang Junfu and Chu's envoy Prince Wan! I have come to Zheng according to the king's order to offer sacrifices to the king of Han."
Huang Xie said: "I have all been ordered by the king to offer sacrifices, and I am fortunate to meet Yu Qing."
Yu Qing said: "I invite Lord Jingyang and the Crown Prince to enter the city."
There was no problem for the five people to enter the city, but when Qin soldiers entered the city, they were blocked by Zhao soldiers. Hu Yang led the carriage and just walked in. A Zhao soldier came over to take over the carriage. Hu Yang said: "I would like to invite Qin soldiers to enter the city!"
Yu Qing stood up after hearing the words and looked at Hu Yang. Hu Yang also stared at Yu Qing, and the two sides were actually facing each other. Qin soldiers wanted to enter by force, but Zhao soldiers were not willing to show weakness and firmly blocked the door. Seeing that the Qin soldiers seemed to be trying to break in, the guard took out a horn and blew it loudly. In an instant, the Zhao soldiers who were scattered among the houses rushed out and gathered in front of the square. The leading officer immediately saw that the Qin people were going to attack the city gate, and immediately ordered to "close the city." The Zhao soldiers on both sides quickly pushed up the city gate and bolted it, regardless of their own people outside the city gate; others went up to the tower; several people came over and surrounded the Qin envoy and the Chu envoy. Without waiting, other city gates were quickly closed.
The development of the situation completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including Hu Yang and Yu Qing. Huang Xie stood aside and said to Lord Jingyang, "I hope you will come to the city to appease the people."
The officer looked at Yu Qing, and Yu Qing nodded. Lord Jingyang went up to the city and said, "Just retreat, we will leave immediately!"
Yu Qing shouted: "Open the city gate and ask for help!"
The city gate opened, and a dozen Zhao soldiers walked out around the four people, then quickly retreated into the city and closed the city gate. Hu Yang's eyes were filled with fire, but he didn't say anything further. He only said to Huang Xie: "It is a crime for me to disgrace my mission!"
Huang Xie said: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Hu Yang stopped explaining, jumped into the car with Lord Jingyang, and said, "I'll meet you later!" He ignored Huang Xie at all and drove away, leaving the Chu people in a dilemma.
In order to prevent accidents, Huang Xie took everyone out and took an arrow away. He stayed alone under the city and shouted to the city: "Huang Xie, the disciple of Chu Zuo, would like to pay homage to Yu Qing, the envoy of Zhao!"
After a while, Yu Qing in the city replied: "I dare not insult Duke Huang and come to see him. I hope that Duke Huang will return soon. I should go and see him!"
Huang Xie said: "I have been ordered by the Crown Prince of Chu, so please see me!"
Yu Qing replied: "Since I have been ordered by the Crown Prince of Chu, I dare not resign." After saying this, the city gate opened wide and Yu Qing came out. After the two met with courtesy, Huang Xie introduced the Prince of Chu, and also met with Yu Qing with courtesy. Yu Qing was surprised when he saw that the two Chu people were able to meet each other politely. He bowed the two people into the city gate, then entered the palace and climbed up the stairs to enter the hall. After the two sides sat down and finished the ceremony, Yu Qing asked, "How can you, the two gentlemen, be the same as the people of Qin?"
Huang Xie said: "When I heard that Yu Qing was coming, I was very envious of him. I couldn't see it. Because I miss Qin and Zhao, we are brothers, so I asked you to introduce him. I didn't want to risk raising troops! It's a crime to rest."
Yu Qing said: "I met Mr. Huang, how could I get such a bad name and hear about it from Mr. Huang?"
Huang Xie said: "This morning, I and the prince were sitting in the pavilion together, watching Yu Qing's grace and beauty. They were fascinated!"
Yu Qing said: "When I entered Zheng, I also saw someone standing in the pavilion, and unexpectedly it was the prince and Huang Gong!" The three of them laughed. Yu Qing ordered the fruit wine to be served. A Zhao soldier brought an urn, and the three of them each held three urns and presented a plate of dried fruits and a cup of wine. The urn was placed in the middle of the table, and then they left. The three of them each took a sip of wine and talked happily.
While they were chatting for a few words, someone outside the door reported: "Please see Han Prime Minister Han Ping." The three of them had to stop and came out.
When Han Ping saw Yu Qing coming out, he was about to confront him, but suddenly he saw the prince of Chu Chen and Huang Xie were also there, so he had to change his face and said: "Yu Qing has just arrived, how can he fight with Qin!...The prince and Huang Gong are also here?"
Huang Xie said: "When I heard that the envoy from Zhao was arriving, I didn't dare to follow him, so I asked to meet him."
Han Ping said: "The soldiers of Qin and Zhao are fighting under the city. Does Huang Gong know about it?"
Huang Xie said: "This all started from my ministers. I asked you to see Yu Qing, but I didn't get his door. I thought of the country of Qin and Zhao brothers, so I went to ask for your introduction. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an enemy country. - It's the crime of all ministers!"
Han Ping said: "Fortunately, it was solved, otherwise..."
Yu Qing said: "Prime Minister Han, please come into the mansion to talk!"
When Han Ping heard that the envoys of Zhao and Qin were quarreling, he almost wanted to fight with each other, so he hurriedly attracted a thousand Korean soldiers. Only when he got closer did he realize that there was no dispute, so he quickly and quietly sent back the Han soldiers he had brought with him, and came to see Yu Qing alone. After a few ascends, the prince and Huang Xie sat under Han Ping's shoulders. After a few words, Han Ping asked: "How can we fight with Qin?"
Yu Qing replied: "The envoy of Qin asked for an audience, and the ministers greeted him outside the city. They were all courteous. This is the proof of Huang Gong. As soon as the envoy entered, the soldiers of Qin also wanted to enter, so I stopped them. The envoy of Qin could not calm down, so he rose up. dispute!"
Huang Xie praised Yu Qing in his heart. In a few words, he made the complicated matter clear and clear, and completely abdicated his own responsibility.
Han Ping said with a tone of complaint: "Qin has been bullying for more than a day, who dares to take it! Now that we are in power, patience is the best in everything! If there is a dispute, it will be difficult for me!"
Yu Qing said: "I don't dare to fight against Han. If you are Zhao, your head can be cut off, but your anger cannot be bent."
Han Ping said: "Confucius said, a small impatience will mess up a big plan. I hope Yu Qing will look into it!"
Yu Qing was silent for a moment and said: "This is my fault. If Qin asks to see you, it's fine if he refuses immediately!" Han Ping had no choice but to ask Zhao Wangan and Zhao Difeng as usual. Yu Qing answered one by one. Speaking of the Zhao land, Yu Qing said: "In the former case, there was a heavy rain in front of the mountain, and the Zhang River swelled and entered the river. The river overflowed and was flooded. Although it did not cause a disaster, the road was blocked. Wang Bei's officials were not able to get out, and both the prince and Pingyuan Jun were unable to get there. He was left to control the water. He was ordered to serve as a sacrifice to Zheng, but he had no choice but to do so. It is a crime to disrespect the King of Han!"
Han Ping said: "King Zhao Hui assisted in the sacrifice, and the city is virtuous, so I don't dare to complain. Zhao Zhizhi was in dire straits, and the king of Han asked him, are the people okay, are the soldiers okay, and is the king okay?"
Yu Qing said: "I humiliate the king and ask! I return to the king. Although Zhao is in dire straits, the people are fine. If the king is fine, the king is fine!"
