Outside the Shu Palace.
Yi Ji straightened his clothes, took four square steps, and walked steadily into the living room of Prince Shu's Mansion.
After entering the door, there were murderous soldiers standing on both sides, holding weapons. The moment Yi Ji stepped into the door, all the soldiers' cold eyes revealing murderous intent were focused on him.
An invisible pressure was overwhelming.
This was a warning to him, showing the majesty and bravery of the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom. If the two countries went to war, no matter how powerful the Jing State was, it would have to pay a heavy price to destroy the Shu Kingdom.
Yi Ji was startled when he suddenly saw such a scene. He immediately reacted, smiled calmly, and walked towards the main hall with confident steps.
The eyes of the soldiers on both sides did not leave from the beginning to the end.
Enter the hall.
Yi Ji walked to five steps in front of Liu Zhang's case and bowed respectfully: "Envoy of the State of Jing, Yi Ji, pays homage to the King of Shu!"
Zhang Yu's voice was sharp: "When you see my king, do you dare to kneel down and worship me?"
Yi Ji sneered: "I am not a minister of Shu, and the king is not my lord, why do I have to bow? Besides, I am here on behalf of King Jing and have already given the gift. According to the rank and title, does the King of Shu and everyone else have to return the gift to me, otherwise? Are you being rude to me, Jingguo, and despising King Jing?"
This hat was so big that Prince Jing was immediately moved out.
Zhang Yu didn't dare to answer. If he did, it would be disrespectful to Prince Jing. He didn't dare to offend Prince Jing, but if he didn't answer, his momentum would be suppressed, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
Zhang Song immediately laughed: "Hahaha! Ji Bo said something serious, let me introduce it to you," pointing at Zhang Yu, "This is Chang Yu. He has been an official for a long time and pays more attention to etiquette, so I have to say something just right. Please don't forgive me. .”
Yi Ji slightly bowed his waist to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Changshi, disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. Ji respects Chang Shi's emphasis on etiquette, but also advises Chang Shi to pay attention to propriety. I represent Prince Jing." He bit the word "Wang" hard and signaled with sharp eyes.
Arching the waist is polite and soft.
The sharp accent is powerful and hard.
Yi Ji's soft and hard words combined, leaving Chang Yu speechless, but he had to return the salute. As a result, Yi Ji stood up and straightened his back, and Chang Yu hesitantly lowered his head and saluted.
In the middle of the ceremony, Yi Ji turned around and faced the King of Shu directly, leaving him standing there.
Yi Ji no longer went to see Chang Yu, but said to Liu Zhang: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by King Jing to permanently establish a good relationship between Qin and Jin with the Kingdom of Shu. We can trade with each other and make the people happy. My king said, King Shu He is a benevolent person in this world and a wise master of all peoples. For the sake of the people of the two countries, the King of Shu will not refuse this good thing that benefits the people."
"Um...this..."
Yi Ji's rainbow fart made Liu Zhang, who wanted to refuse, unable to speak. He turned his attention to Zhang Song for help, hoping that he would come forward quickly.
Zhang Song immediately responded: "King Jing has a keen eye and knows that our Lord is a wise man. Since he is a wise man, he must be an all-round talent. He must consider not only the lives of the people, but also the safety of all the people. Therefore, he opened an official career." It is not impossible to enter Sichuan, but at key points, small roads can be opened to allow business travelers to pass by to ensure the safety of our Shu land."
Liu Zhang's worries turned into joy: "What Zi Qiao said is very good. This is a strategy that has the best of both worlds. I'm sure Prince Jing will not refuse to agree!"
Yi Ji laughed heartily: "Ziqiao's words are wonderful. Such a strategy that has the best of both worlds. How can I, the king, disagree? It's just a pity! What a pity!" As he said this, his face showed great pity. His expression was astonishing.
Liu Zhang and Zhang Song's eyes met.
I had no idea what Yi Ji was regretting and couldn't help but become curious.
Liu Zhang asked in confusion: "Why did Uncle Ji say such pity?"
Yi Ji lamented: "In the previous battle of Hanzhong, the Jing-Shu coalition attacked Hanzhong. After Hanzhong was captured, all the land was captured by our army. The King of Shu worked hard but could not gain an inch of land. So when I came, King Jing said to me, if The King of Shu agreed to open the official road, so he divided the land of Longxi into the King of Shu, firstly to show the friendship between Jing and Shu, and secondly to appease the Shu army in the battle of Hanzhong."
"Is this true?"
Liu Zhang's face was full of disbelief, and he stared at Yi Jiwen with scorching eyes in surprise.
Yi Ji puffed up his chest and said confidently: "How can there be any lie in what Prince Jing said personally? If you don't believe it, your Majesty can send a letter to Chang'an to prove this statement."
"oops!"
Liu Zhang clapped his hands excitedly, "I can't believe what King Jing said, hahaha. In that case, it's not a bad idea to open a way into Sichuan, but King Jing must guarantee not to attack Shu. Our two places will always be friends of Qin and Jin."
"Of course," Yi Ji said, "my king is willing to sign a non-aggression treaty with the king of Shu, and we also want to be each other's allies. If any of the princes in the world dare to attack Shu, King Jing will send troops to help him. If anyone attacks Jing, , the King of Shu must also give his fullest help."
"well!"
Liu Zhang applauded the case: "If this is true, if Jing is in trouble, Shu will definitely help and will never refuse, hahaha!"
Yiji also laughed.
Zhang Song frowned and stared at Yi Ji, but didn't see any clues. He thought about it carefully. It was too good to trade an official road for the land in Longxi. Such a huge temptation to work part-time could not be refused. Ah, but why does Prince Jing have such a good heart?
Could it be that he was showing mercy?
At this time, Yi Ji took out two signing documents that had been drafted a long time ago: "Your Majesty, the first one is the treaty for building a road into Sichuan, and the second one is the Jingshu Friendship Treaty. Please take a look at it."
"oh!"
Liu Zhang had never seen this kind of contract-based signing document. He received it with great interest. He flipped through it and read it. On the first page, he saw a line that read: "The official road enters Sichuan, and King Jing's land in Longxi is returned to Shu." All of the king. '
Liu Zhang burst out laughing when he saw this line of words, and did not see the small line at the bottom: The final right of interpretation belongs to Prince Jing.
Liu Zhang was very satisfied after reading it.
He passed the signing document to Zhang Song. Zhang Song read it carefully. The content was very clear. He only glanced at the small words at the bottom and didn't pay much attention to it.
Later, all the ministers in Shu looked at it and found that there was no problem.
Yi Ji said: "My king said that this contract is in the spirit of fairness, justice and openness. All the requirements are written on it and will never be denied. Please rest assured, your king."
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Prince Jing is really generous. In this case, I don't have to be a petty person. All the princes have circulated this book. Do you have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads. The words on the paper were clearly written in black and white, and there was no doubt.
"good!"
Liu Zhang said, "In that case, let's sign and seal it. From now on, Jing and Shu will be as close as one family." He picked up the pen, signed and sealed it.
Seeing Liu Zhang's signature and seal, Yi Ji's face showed a smile.
A sentence that Zhang Xiu had muttered came to mind: "Society is very simple, but people are complicated." At this moment, Yi Ji understood this sentence deeply.
Liu Zhang and Shu Chen fell into Zhang Xiu's routine without knowing it.
