In the early morning, the early winter sun rises.
Lin Feng got up early, changed clothes and had dinner with Xu Liuli waiting on him. He said hello to Song Yi and took Chang Taining into the palace.
Lin Feng entered the main hall of the palace. All the civil and military officials of Qi State gathered together, and Tian He had also arrived.
"The envoy of the State of Qin, Lin Feng, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Lin Feng bowed and saluted.
Tian He said: "Lin Feng, I have considered it carefully and agreed to the conditions for Qi and Qin to divide Xia's territory."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Lin Feng flattered.
The two parties reached a unified opinion, signed and sealed it directly, and the matter was settled.
Tian He did not get entangled in negotiating the territory, and said again: "Lin Feng, compared to Qi, Qin is too poor after all, and its development potential is limited. In Qin, it is difficult for you to display your ambitions. "
"If you are willing to come to the State of Qi to serve as an official, I am eagerly looking forward to it. As long as you come to the State of Qi, you can choose from the governors of various places in the State of Qi. If you are willing to serve in the court, we will also let you go to all the ministries of the State of Qi. At least I will grant you the position of minister."
"Your Majesty thinks highly of you, and Lin Feng appreciates it. I am used to being in Qin and have no plans to leave for the time being."
Lin Feng answered with a smile.
"Oh, what a pity."
Tian He looked regretful.
Lin Feng was talented. This was reflected in the past when Lin Feng went on a mission to Qi on behalf of Qin. At that time, Tian He felt that Lin Feng was good.
Nowadays, Tian He thinks so even more.
Tian He changed the topic and said, "Lin Feng, I have another suggestion that you can convey to the Emperor of Qin."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Tian He said: "Not only Qi State has been invaded by Yan State in the north, but also Qin State. In the past, Qin State and Qi State did not border on each other and had no contact. Now, they are bordering on each other. We have contacts. In this case, why not join forces to attack Yan State and destroy Yan State Zuo? I ask the Emperor of Qin to consider this matter carefully."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Tian He was very courageous, he actually dared to take the initiative. You know, attacking the Yan State is very troublesome, because although there are some settled people in the southernmost part of the Yan State, the vast majority of the Yan State are herdsmen, living in pursuit of water and grass. If you want to attack him, if he loses, just withdraw.
Here, on the vast grassland, it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the terrain, and it is not easy to fight.
Qi State has this idea, which is actually a good thing. It at least shows that the two countries will not go to war for the time being.
This is conducive to the development of Qin.
When the Qin State survives for a few more years and its foundation becomes more solid, it will be easier for the Qin State to expand its territory in the future.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty's proposal, I will truthfully convey it to my Emperor, the Emperor of Qin. I am also extremely disgusted with the arrogance and domineering Hu people of Yan State. The barbarians and Hu people often invade the border and are simply bullying our Central Plains land." No one. Therefore, it is excellent for us to unite, and I fully agree."
Tian He nodded and said, "In that case, it's settled."
Lin Feng said: "I'll take my leave."
Tian He nodded.
Lin Feng bowed and took Chang Taining away. After the two of them walked out of the palace, Chang Taining said excitedly: "Master Lin, the Qi State will unite with our Qin State to attack the Yan State. This is the best way to deal with the Yan State." Opportunity."
"The State of Yan often invades our borders and invades the borders of our State of Qin. Even if we are not afraid, these fly-like barbarians from the State of Yan are just annoying. The two countries will unite and deal with these people in one go, and everything will be peaceful."
"you are wrong!"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
Chang Taining was immediately confused.
His face was even more puzzled. Uniting Qi to attack Yan would benefit Qin without causing any harm.
This is an excellent thing.
Why did Lin Feng deny it?
When you faced the Emperor of Qi just now, not only did you agree with a smile, but you also said you would tell him, and you even expressed your approval.
Lin Feng said: "Chang Taining, you, a person from the Ministry of Rites, do not have the authority and foundation to be an official in contact with the outside world. What you have shown to the outside world is that you are an honest gentleman."
"Have you ever heard that a gentleman can bully others? You choose to believe whatever they say."
"This is very bad."
"It is wrong for you to accept whatever others say. There are conditions. This is how you should treat a sincere gentleman and your close friends. However, the contacts and conversations between countries involve the interests of the two countries. Interests, it’s very complicated.”
"The joint attack on the Yan State and my statement are just perfunctory to Tian He. If the two countries really want to jointly send troops, there will be too many wrangling issues. What's more, the Yan State is not in decline, nor can it be done at will. Destroyed."
"Perhaps Tian He's suggestions may also be used to plot against Qin."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and said: "So don't try to speculate on the intentions of the Emperor of Qi with the greatest goodwill. Regarding negotiations and other issues between the two countries, you can never go wrong by considering the problem from the worst perspective at any time."
Chang Taining looked thoughtful after listening.
When he first came to Zi to take charge of the negotiations, he felt that the negotiations should be frank, so he chose to believe what Emperor Tian He said.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, I was greatly inspired.
Lin Feng's words make sense. He is here to be responsible for negotiations and contact with other countries.
Considering the worst, not bad!
This is indeed good.
Chang Taining stopped, clasped his hands, bowed respectfully to Lin Feng, and said solemnly: "The words of the Marquis are like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, waking me up. I didn't expect that I have been so ignorant in these years. Thank you very much, Marquis Lin, for your guidance." .”
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Lin Feng shook his head.
It would be best if Chang Taining could make some changes. The two left the imperial city and returned to the posthouse without any delay, and set off directly.
After all, everything is in place.
Returning to Xianyang this time, there were three carriages. The first carriage was for Lin Feng and Xu Liuli; the second carriage was for Chang Taining and Song Yi; and the third carriage was for Song Yi's books over the years.
In addition, there were also a few followers led by Gao Xiaoyu, all riding horses.
The group left the post house and headed straight out of the city.
As the carriage left the city, Gao Xiaoyu rode beside Lin Feng's carriage. With a hint of seriousness and caution on his face, he said, "Sir, something is wrong. From the time we left the post house to the time we left the city, I found someone following us from behind."
Lin Feng was a little surprised when he heard that someone was following him when he left Linzi.
Is there anyone who wants to harm him?
Could it be that he is from Lin Yuantu?
No, Lin Yuantu doesn't have such ability.
Or are they the remnants of the Xia Kingdom?
Or someone else?
Lin Feng has no direction for the time being, after all, there are too many possibilities. He couldn't figure it out, so for the time being he just kept it the same to deal with all the changes. After all, with his current strength, he is not afraid of facing the Grand Master.
Lin Feng ordered: "Be careful and cheer up the people accompanying you. In addition, go to Song Yi and Chang Taining's carriage. If there is an emergency, protect them immediately. You don't have to worry about me."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu nodded.
The group did not stop, but continued walking along the official road outside the city.
