Qi State's court, in the main hall.
The civil and military officials stood there with serious expressions on their faces, looking at each other with their eyes, nose and nose in mind.
Directly above the main hall.
A young man in his early twenties, wearing a dragon robe and a robe, and a twelve-pointed crown on his head, with a serious appearance, was sitting on the dragon chair.
This person is Tian He, Emperor of Qi.
He ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and it has been more than five years and almost six years now.
Tian He has been on the throne for so many years and has been in charge for more than four years. Although he is diligent, his presence is not strong. Because when Tian He's father died, he left behind two auxiliary ministers.
One of them is Tian Yu, King of Langya of Qi State.
This is the younger brother of the late emperor Tian Feng, the imperial uncle of Tian He, and the current king of Langya. He is nearly fifty years old. The smooth governance of Qi State in these years was due to Tian Yu's coordination. After all, Tian Yu was someone the late emperor relied on in the past.
Now as an auxiliary minister, he worked hard to govern and lived up to the late emperor's high expectations.
The second is Yan Zichu, the prime minister of Qi State, who was also the auxiliary minister left by the late emperor.
Yan Zichu was slightly older than Tian Yu, more than fifty years old. When Yan Zichu was young, he was an old member of the East Palace when the late emperor was the crown prince. When the late emperor came to the throne, Yan Zichu became the late emperor's trusted confidant.
By now, Yan Zichu had become prime minister.
Yan Zichu discussed many court affairs with Tian Yu, mainly relying on Tian Yu's opinions. He was very low-key. Whether it is Tian Yu or Yan Zichu, they are the mainstays of Qi State and can be called the pillars of the sky.
Tian He had a handsome appearance. He turned his eyes to Tian Yu and asked, "Uncle Huang, according to the news from the Jin State, Lin Feng had already promoted the alliance between the Qin State and the Jin State when he was in the Jin State. Let's work together. How should a country choose?”
Tian He has arranged for someone to deliver the message.
Lin Feng is coming soon.
At this time, Tian He asked Tian Yu what he thought so that he could have an idea.
Tian He relies heavily on Tian Yu.
If it were not for his imperial uncle to be in charge of the court, he would have been kicked out of power when his brother Tian Bao rebelled five years ago. Because Tian Yu was in charge, the chaos was calmed down, and everything in Qi State became stable and on track in these years.
Tian Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what choice Qi State should make should not be a predetermined position. It all depends on what Lin Feng says. If it is beneficial to our Qi State, then of course there is no problem. If it is not beneficial to Qi State, Qi will refuse. The interests of the country are the criterion.”
Tian He looked like he had been taught something and said, "What the emperor said is true."
Yan Zichu also stood below.
Hearing what Tian Yu said, he nodded, as if he agreed.
A group of ministers from the imperial court also stood below, and everyone waited quietly. Sun Jiuzhang was also among the crowd. He was the Yushi Zhongcheng. As the person who acted on behalf of the Yushi Dafu on the Yushidai, he was about to become the Yushi Dafu in the future. He was also an important minister of the imperial court.
He thought to himself.
Lin Feng is coming.
His mission was to cause trouble. Although Sun Jiuzhang found this matter strange, he couldn't refuse. Otherwise, how could he explain it to Xie Chong?
Sun Jiuzhang was unwilling to be exposed.
He's not bad now either.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lin Feng wishes to see you."
"Xuan!"
Tian He gave an order.
"Xuan Da Qin's envoy Lin Feng comes to visit."
The chamberlain immediately conveyed the order.
The order was passed on, and soon it reached the ears of Lin Feng who was already waiting outside the hall. Lin Feng straightened his robe and stepped in. The hall was deep and oppressive, but Lin Feng was used to it.
Lin Feng entered the main hall and stood there, cupped his hands and said: "Lin Feng, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Qi."
Tian He said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, I already know your purpose of coming. Why do you want Qi to give up attacking Qin?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Feng.
They were all waiting for Lin Feng to speak.
This is a transaction between interests.
Tian He didn't say anything big, because the interests between countries are maintained.
Lin Feng's expression was as usual, and he said seriously: "There is a huge distance between Qi and Da Qin. If Qi's troops want to attack Da Qin, they must first enter Xia's territory and then attack Da Qin."
"With an order from the Emperor of Xia, Qi would not hesitate to spend endless manpower, material and financial resources. They would rather Qi's soldiers die in battle in a foreign land to make Emperor Li Chongfu of Xia happy. Qi deserves to be the emperor of Xia's What a good son."
Tian He's face suddenly fell, and the whole hall was filled with anger.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Lin Feng's last words stirred up a hornet's nest.
Tian He stared at Lin Feng with sharp eyes and asked, "Lin Feng, aren't you afraid of death?"
Lin Feng's face was calm, without any fear, and he said: "Your Majesty, I, Lin Feng, have an overwhelming hatred for the Xia Kingdom. I want revenge and cannot die, so I am afraid of death. However, what I explained also exists. fact."
"Xia State Emperor Li Chongfu mentioned Qi State to the outside world as the son state."
"Everyone knows what Li Chongfu said and can check it at any time. Originally, I thought that Qi State was full of ambitious people and it was impossible to admit it because the former emperors of Qi State and even the previous kings of Qi State were developing their strength. , to get rid of the constraints of Xia Kingdom."
"Even His Majesty the current Qi State, as well as King Langya and the Prime Minister of Qi State, are all people who are determined to strengthen the Qi State."
"Everyone is united and united, which is admirable."
"But the final result was an order from Li Chongfu of Xia State. Qi State obeyed it and helped Xia State attack Da Qin at the expense of huge manpower and material resources. Under such circumstances, isn't Qi State a good son? ?"
His voice echoed in the hall.
His eyes swept over the civil and military officers, past Tian Yu and Yan Zichu, and finally landed on the emperor Tian He.
After all, Tian He was still young and inexperienced, so when he heard Lin Feng's words, he was a little moved for a moment.
Lin Feng's words make sense.
Li Chong's Mansion sent an envoy, and the whole Qi State agreed to carve up the Qin Dynasty. In fact, Qi is far away from each other, so it is not easy to divide the interests.
Tian He thought for a while, but did not waver in his decision for the time being. He said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, our Qi State has always been independent. In addition, this time Li Chongfu invited Qi State to send troops and signed a treaty. As long as Qi State participates After this battle, Qi State became independent to the east of Xia State, no longer a vassal state of Xia State, and truly on an equal footing with Xia State."
"Hahaha……"
After Lin Feng heard this, he burst into laughter.
Laughter, extremely arrogant.
It looked extremely wanton like this in the main hall.
Lin Feng did this on purpose. The more cautious he was, the more constraints he would have. At this time, he had to be unscrupulous, because he could control the rhythm.
After Lin Feng stopped laughing, he raised his voice again and said: "Although the existence of Qi State was originally a vassal of Xia State, Qi State has been growing continuously in these years. Regardless of whether Xia State admits it or not, Qi State has It is already independent from Xia Kingdom."
"Why do you need a piece of paper to make an agreement?"
"With this agreement, it proves that in your hearts, you actually think that you are a good son of Emperor Xia and the son-emperor of Li Chong's Mansion of Xia Kingdom. That's why you need the approval of Li Chong's Mansion."
"A truly strong person does not need anyone's recognition. A truly powerful country does not rely on the establishment of alliances, but on the strength of the Qi State. Only when the Qi State has enough strength can it have the foundation to gain a foothold. This is also the basis for the establishment of the Qi State. It is the foundation of the world."
After Tian He heard what he said, he was angry, but mostly appreciated.
well said!
Lin Feng's words really spoke to his heart this time.
"Lin Feng, you keep blaming and criticizing like this. No matter what, as long as you can break the Qin Dynasty, Qi will still benefit. What you are doing here now is to prevent the Qin from being attacked. Can you bring Qi to me?" What’s the benefit of coming?”
In the crowd, someone stood up.
The visitor held his head high and said loudly: "I'm Wang Deli, the official speaker at the censor's desk. Please give me some advice from Ambassador Lin."
Everyone looked over.
There was amusement in his eyes.
They were all waiting to watch the show, all waiting to see how Lin Feng would answer.
