The Prime Minister must have been kind to him, appreciated his talent, and recommended him to the king several times. This was the only right thing that Xiang Guo did, so he was still grateful to Xiang Guo. Xia Yi, who was next to him, said: "Go to a tailor to sew the body and head of the Prime Minister, and bury the whole body properly." Where is your heart?" Jia Yi stood up and said: "Beheading the Prime Minister is for the public, and burying the Prime Minister with a lavish burial is for private purposes. Public is public, private is private. Whether you are an insect or an official, you must distinguish between public and private." This sentence said: "Yes, let's do it now."
Later, the house ants walked out of the execution ground, got into the car, and drove to the palace to meet the termite king. The house ant entered the main hall and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." The termite king said: "My dear, there is no need to be polite. Get up and answer." The house ant stood up and said, "I have something to ask of you." The termite king turned his gaze to the house ant and said "If you have anything to do with me, dear, just tell me." Jia Yi raised his eyes and said, "Please, Your Majesty, give the Prime Minister a good burial." The Termite King knew that Jia Yi and the Prime Minister were at odds with each other, even though they were respectful to the Prime Minister on the surface. Respectfully, but the deep hatred in my heart cannot be forgotten. Find an opportunity to get rid of it. But there was something unusual today, which made the Termite King puzzled. He said: "The Prime Minister's crime is so heinous, why does Aiqing intercede for him?" The ant explained: "If it weren't for the Prime Minister's recommendation, I wouldn't be able to reach this position. If you don't get the king's attention, you can't get out of trouble. The prime minister is kind to his ministers. Although the prime minister slandered and said to get rid of his husband, the prime minister is dead and there is no hatred towards him. In the early years, the prime minister was loyal to the king. Geng Geng worked hard for the king. Although he climbed to the pinnacle of power, his selfish desires were inflated, he formed cliques to seize power, and he was corrupt and perverted the law. Regardless of these things for the time being, it must be the prime minister who was personally appointed by the king. There is hard work even if there is no credit. The prime minister can be buried well. It shows the king's benevolent heart and is supported by all the people, which is beneficial and harmless to our termite tribe." The termite king's heart was touched and said: "I know that I love you, my father is loyal to my country, and I am an orphan. Well, I will give you a good burial. "The termite king was silent for a long time, and then said: "Our termite tribe launched a war against the ant tribe. In this conquest of the ant tribe, our termite tribe lost all its elites. What do you think this should be done?" The house ant said: " Seek peace." The termite king was suspicious and asked: "Why?" The house ant said: "Sir has repeatedly advised the king not to launch a war against the ants. The king listened to the slanderous words of the Prime Minister. What is the result of launching a war? Waging a war will only consume the national strength of the two countries. If another country takes advantage of the situation, then our termite tribe will be in danger. The termites and ants are neighbors, and they are lips and teeth of each other. Your Majesty should understand the truth. Seeking peace can bring peace to the people. Rest and recuperate, mutual benefit. When the late king was alive, he and the ant tribe formed a brotherly state. The Qin army was afraid of him, so he deceived him into the termite palace to kill the late king, forcing the relationship between the termite tribe and the ant tribe to break, which gave the enemy an opportunity. , Your Majesty, you should think twice and weigh the pros and cons." The Termite King also thought about this matter again and again, and said: "Ai Qing's words are reasonable, who should be sent as an envoy to the ant tribe?" The house ant stood up and said: "I am willing to send an envoy to the ant tribe. clan." The termite king stood up and said: "Okay, then you will be the envoy to the ant clan to establish friendship with each other."
On this day, the termites recaptured the Grand Canyon without spending a single soldier. They named Yishi ants as generals and stationed heavy troops in the Grand Canyon. The next day, Jianyi drove west and stopped in front of the graves of Baizhen and Yunqi. The house ant steps out of the car, and the ant stands behind it. The house ant stood in front of the tomb and said: "Sir, the prime minister is dead and the great revenge has been avenged. You can rest in peace. This disciple is going to the ant tribe to negotiate peace with the ant king and make peace with the two countries. The people can rest and recuperate. This is not you. What do you want to see? This disciple will uphold your husband’s last wish, develop the people’s livelihood, rectify the government and implement reforms, and strengthen the country and the army. If your husband has a soul in heaven, please bless me for the success of this reform.” He walked to Yunqi’s tomb and said : "Junior brother, you and I grew up together. You and I have been orphans abandoned by our parents since we were young. Mr. Xin adopted us and taught us to read, read, and understand some principles. You and I are as close as brothers. It is because I feel sorry for you. Your injustice. After being able to get justice, the king named him a loyal and righteous minister, and he named you a public minister." Then he took out his official credentials from his arms and burned them.
Accompanied by all his disciples, the husband ant stood behind the house ant. The house ant knelt in front of the husband ant and called out: "Master's wife." The husband ant had sharp eyes and slapped the house ant on the face, which hurt the house ant's heart. Jia Yi cried bitterly and said: "Master's wife." Fu Yi lectured: "Jia Yan, in order to achieve your own goals, you did not hesitate to sacrifice Yun Qi's life. You are as close as brothers. How could you do this? That moment The sword stabbed down and stung my heart. At that moment, did you ever think that it was your junior brother? You are ruthless and unrighteous. What is the difference between you and those little ants?" The house ant cried very sadly and said: " Master Wife, I know that I am wrong. I know that I am wrong." The husband ant also had tears in his eyes and said: "You are all my children, how can you not make me feel heartbroken?" The house ant looked up at the face that had experienced vicissitudes of life, and threw himself into his arms. In the middle, he said: "Master's wife." The husband ant comforted him and said: "My child." The house ant looked up at it and said: "Master's wife, this disciple is leaving the ant clan. Instead of connecting the two countries, I can't serve my master's wife. I'm sorry. The disciple is unfilial." The husband ant consoled him and said: "The man has ambitions in all directions, go ahead, the journey will be high and the water will be long. Take care of your body." The house ant retreated, knelt down and bowed with his eyes open, and said: "Master's wife." Then he turned around, got on the carriage and entered the shed, stuck his head out of the window and waved. Xia Yi sat in front of the carport and drove away. Travel to the Grand Canyon. General Yi Shiyan looked away from the city and saw a carriage appearing between the mountains, running towards here, leading his troops out of the city and standing outside the city gate. The carriage stopped here, and Jiayi got out of the car with the envoy and called out: "General Yishiyi." General Yishiyi ordered the soldiers to give way and said: "Prime Minister, please enter the city." Jiayi cupped his hands and said: " Thank you, General." Then he got on the carriage and ran into the Grand Canyon.
The ant king sat in the main hall, and the eunuch stood up and said: "It is announced that the termite tribe's envoy has entered the palace." Then it was announced: "It is announced that the termite tribe's envoy has entered the palace." The civil and military officials looked out of the hall, and the ants helped the envoy to cross the hall. Climb the stone steps, enter the main hall, and kowtow: "The envoys of the termites clan bow to the king." The ant king looked at the ants in his highness' eyes and said, "Why are the envoys from the termites clan doing this?" The ants raised their heads and said He uttered two words and said: "Seek peace." The ant king said: "You, the termite king, have betrayed your trust many times and broken your promises. How can you ask the ants to trust your termite clan?" The house ant explained: "My king It is the fault of our termite tribe for mistakenly listening to the slanderous words of the former prime minister and sending troops to the ant tribe, which ruined lives. Now my king understands the righteousness and kills the former prime minister. He is willing to return the occupied lands of Yi and Que to show his sincerity in this peace negotiation. ." The ant king glanced at him and said, "What will happen to your termite clan if we don't negotiate for peace?" The ant king said: "The king still wants to fight, so our termite clan will unite the generals and the people with one heart and the same hatred of the enemy, and fight to the death. If this continues, we will fight to the death." What benefit will it bring to the country? If this continues, it will only consume the national strength of the two countries. If another country takes advantage of the chaos to attack, then you and I will be tired of coping, or it will be too late to think of negotiating peace. The truth is that the lips are cold and the teeth are cold, the foreign minister thought Your Majesty should understand." At this time, the Ant King was speechless and had no idea in his mind. He looked at the ministers with an embarrassed look on his face or some confusion in his eyes. His Highness's ministers were also at a loss and did not know how to respond to these words of the foreign envoy. The Ant King then faced the Prime Minister, Little Ant, who stood up and said: "Now the strategic advantage has shifted to the Ant Tribe. In the battle of Qingshui River, your elite Termite Tribe's army of 1.8 million was lost. Now your Termite Tribe is a frightened bird, and every plant and plant is under attack." . If a large army attacks your capital at this time, how will you deal with it? You will not have any chance to breathe. How can the army and the people be united and share the same hatred of the enemy. My king is benevolent and righteous, so as not to ruin the lives of the people and sympathize with the sufferings of the people, that is why we stopped the army. Outside. The envoy needs to return to his country, and the kings of the two countries will make an alliance at the Grand Canyon on the border between the two countries."
The house ants and the little ants looked at each other and competed with each other, neither giving in to the other. In the court, they are at loggerheads, but in private they are good friends who have not seen each other for many years. When the little ant had nowhere to go, Xin Youbai took the old ant under his wing and stayed in the house for a few days. During this period, they met a lot and formed a deep friendship. In the face of national justice, they did not compromise with each other and each was his own master.
After the dynasty was over, Xiao Yi returned to his Prime Minister's Mansion. When House Ant left, he came to visit Xiao Yi. The doorman came in and announced, "Master Prime Minister, the foreign envoy is here to visit." Xiao Yi stood up and said, "Please come soon." In the end, he went out of the house to greet him, and said excitedly: "Jia Yi." Jia Yi stood at the Outside the door of the mansion, he said: "Little ant." The little ant stepped forward, held its hand, and said, "Let's go into the house together and have a good talk." The house ant then entered, and the little ant turned around, Said: "Please sit down." The house ant bowed and kowtowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the prime minister, big ant." The little ant said: "You and I are both prime ministers, why are you so polite? Sit down! Sit down!" The house ant sat cross-legged on the table. Before that, the little ant then sat down and told the ant standing next to him: "Go and make some wine, green plum wine." The house ant looked at it and teased: "You! You have such a sharp mouth." Little ant He said: "To each other, to each other, when I was in Bai Lao's Mansion, I knew that you have great literary talents, which I can't match." These words are so sweet. It is not easy to get such praise from Xiao Yi, So he shouted: "You are the same, your talent is not inferior to mine." Then the ants put up the wine vessels, and smoke was rising. They poured the wine into the wine barons and drank from each other. Xiao Yi put down the wine baron and said: "Jia Yi, the reconciliation between the two countries this time is a blessing for the people of the two countries. You and I are both close ministers of the king. We work for the king and each is his own master. The two kings will make an alliance in the canyon. , sign a peace treaty." Jia Yi said: "For the sake of reconciliation between the two countries, my king will definitely arrive as scheduled." After thinking deeply, Xiao Yi slowly said: "Okay, just keep the promise." Jia Yi stood up and said: "Tomorrow I will return to my country and persuade my king to honor his promise and make an alliance in the valley." Then I withdrew. The next day, the house ants got on the bus and returned to the termite colony.
