Qin envoy Gan Cong coughed slightly. Although he was facing the illustrious King of Chu, he still seemed a little reserved, neither humble nor arrogant -
"After the death of the previous king, Gongzi Ji has been welcomed back to the Qin Dynasty. He ascended the throne in Xianyang the day before yesterday, so he sent envoys to inform other countries."
"Therefore, foreign ministers came to Chu."
"The State of Chu is a good neighbor of our Great Qin State. Now that our new King of Great Qin has ascended the throne, I hope that the King of Chu can continue to have good relations with the State of Qin..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As Gan Cong talked, he felt less and less confident the more he spoke.
Why is it so quiet in this room?
At least give me some reaction!
'puff! 'In the quiet political hall, a splashing sound was particularly harsh!
"Old Lingyin! Old Lingyin!"
"Here comes someone!"
"Quick! Where is the imperial doctor?"
The political palace is in chaos!
I saw Zhaoju holding on to the red paint pillar, slowly slumping to the ground, his chest bulged, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out!
Everyone, including King Chu, was shocked!
Zhaoju is old and cannot withstand such excitement.
Xiong Wu's conscience felt pity and he felt that he had sinned deeply, so he called for the imperial doctor very loudly.
Qin envoy Gan Cong stood there, everyone was stunned.
What's going on?
Can anyone explain to me what is going on!
At this point, it seemed that those high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric could no longer be continued. Gan Cong looked at the King of Chu and said calmly: "Well... my king said that the Qin and Chu family are willing to form an alliance with the Chu State!"
After that, Gan Cong looked around and found that no one was interested in paying attention to him. They were all running around in a panic.
Blanch!
When have we, the people of Great Qin, ever suffered this kind of injustice?
Gan Cong was angry, flicked his sleeves, and walked away...
…
A few days later.
Zhaoju was also treated in time, and he was rescued, but his body and bones were still a little weak.
Thinking of the chariot and armor that he lost to Xiong Wuliang, Zhao Ju felt so angry that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Just thinking about it for a moment, Zhaoju has the urge to spurt blood again!
It's just that he really can't figure out why Xiong Wuliang can be sure that Ying Ji will take the throne?
Could it be that he has a secret intelligence channel from Qin?
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how Xiong Wuliang hit the nail on the head again without any theoretical support.
Blanch!
Xiong Wuliang, you are so insidious!
From now on, I and you will be inseparable!
"Lord Ling Yin, the king invites you to come into the palace to discuss the policy towards Qin..." The servant at the door came in to report, very frightened.
Everyone knows that Zhaoju is not in a good mood right now.
Yes, after all, you lost the precious chariot passed down from your ancestors, and yet you still get the ancient armor passed down from your ancestors by being mean-spirited. This is so annoying!
These two things are regarded as life by Zhaoju.
It is the merit and honor of our ancestors!
Zhaoju: "Okay, prepare the car..."
As soon as he finished saying the word "complete chariot", Zhaoju thought of the bronze chariot he had lost, and felt depressed again.
Blanch! It hurts so much, it really hurts!
…
At the entrance of the palace, Zhaoju was helped out of the car.
Suddenly I heard the familiar sound of cars.
Looking back, I happened to see Xiong Wuliang sitting on the bronze chariot that Zhaoju was very familiar with, with a smile as bright as a pen.
After seeing Zhaoju, Xiong Wuliang quickly jumped out of the car and asked with concern: "Ling Yin, are you feeling well?"
Zhaoju forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit blood, glanced at Xiong Wuliang coldly, and did not answer.
Xiong Wuliang scratched his head.
Why does this old guy still hold a grudge?
It was a fair bet, but if you lose, you look like this. It seems that you are not aristocratic, brother.
Xiong Wuliang took a quick look and found that Zhaoju's car today was a brand new car. The umbrella handle and cover were made of bronze, the body of white pear wood, and the base and wheels were made of bronze.
The overall pattern looks fine and complicated. Although it is not as good as the old car behind me, it is still quite stylish.
Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Ju walked side by side to the palace, looking for something to say: "Master Ling Yin's new car is pretty good."
Zhaoju suddenly stopped and said angrily: "Xiong Wuliang, don't go too far!"
"I will take revenge for this sooner or later!"
"Don't think that idiot Qu Yuan can protect you!"
"Sooner or later, I will make him lose his reputation and seek death! As for you, you will have the same fate!"
Zhaoju was really angry.
Normally, this old Ling Yin always showed his emotions and anger, and had the demeanor of an aristocratic minister, but today he started to curse.
It's all Xiong Wuliang's fault, it's so irritating!
As long as Zhaoju sees Xiong Wuliang's disgusting face, he can't calm down the turmoil in his heart!
Xiong Wuliang coughed dryly: "I just lost a car, that's all."
"Why should you be so angry if you can't take it with you in life or death?"
"If you really can't bear it -"
"Shall I lend you a car for two days?"
…
In the political palace, King Chu and Qu Yuan had been waiting for a long time.
"Lord Yin and Lord Qu Yang are here..." the chamberlain at the door announced loudly.
King Chu Huai and Qu Yuan looked towards the door.
Two completely different people came in.
One has a playful smile, the other has an angry face...
One has a rosy face, the other has a pale face...
The most important thing is that Xiong Wuliang walked in by himself, and Zhaoju was carried in by the chamberlain while lying on a stretcher...
Just now, Zhaoju was so angry at Xiong Wuliang...
King Huai of Chu quickly stood up and said with concern: "Zhao Ju, you're not feeling well yet, so don't come here!"
"I really admire you for taking such great care of the country!"
Zhaoju, who was on the hospital bed, raised a finger tremblingly and pointed at Xiong Wuliang...
King Chu looked at Xiong Wuliang and said loudly: "Look! Zhaoju is like this, and he still wants you to learn from him!"
"Mi Liang, you must follow Ling Yin's example in everything, and don't let Ling Yin down!"
Xiong Wuliang cupped his hands and suppressed a smile: "I obey the king's orders and have been taught..."
Zhaoju:......
King Chu Huai returned to his seat and coughed majestically——
"Now the new king of Qin has ascended the throne——"
"Sent an alliance application to our great Chu."
"Should we continue the previous idea of joining forces to resist Qin, or should we choose to form an alliance with Qin and expand our power eastward?"
"I also ask you ministers to clear up my doubts."
King Huai of Chu had already been persuaded by Xiong Wuliang and Qu Yuan and became a staunch anti-Qin faction.
But now that Ying Ji came to the throne, King Chu Huai hesitated.
During the Warring States Period, bloodline was still highly valued, and alliances such as marriage were still very binding.
King Ying Ji of Qin is half of the Chu bloodline, and he is considered a close relative of King Huai of Chu.
After this person takes the throne, he will inevitably reuse a series of ministers who are pro-Chu. By then, it seems natural that Qin and Chu will have a good alliance.
Although the King of Chu was beaten by Qu Yuan and Xiong Wuliang in turn before, and he was determined to avenge the Danyang War, he couldn't help but hesitate at this time.
If Qin really has such a die-hard ally, it would be a good choice for Qin and Chu to join forces and fight east together.
Vertical or horizontal?
