It has been three or four days since Jia Yi came to the ant tribe, but he has not been summoned by the ant king, nor has there been any information about the summons. He may not be able to return to the termite king. After thinking about it, he still plans to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire. . Accompanied by his servants, he drove to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw that the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed. Jia Yan's chariot stopped in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The servant went to knock on the door, but the doorman opened the door and said, "Who are you? Why did you come to see my Xiangguo Big Ant?" Jia Yi stood up and said, "Jia Yi, the termite tribe's envoy, came to pay homage to Xiangguo Big Ant." , please inform me." Mending replied: "My Prime Minister Yi went to court early in the morning and is not in the house. Si Dian is responsible for your affairs, so you should go to Si Dian." Jia Yi asked: " Where does Si Dian live?" The doorman replied: "Go out of the city to Qingshui River. On the bank of Qingshui River, there is a thatched cottage called Qingfengzhai. You can go there to find Sidian." After Jia Yi thanked him, he drove out of the city and rushed to Qingfengzhai. .
The river water is clear, cherry blossoms are falling, and there is a stone arch bridge in a small bamboo forest. Jia Yi parked the car outside the bamboo forest and asked the servants to wait here. He walked into the bamboo forest and stood on the stone arch bridge. Under the stone arch bridge was a gurgling stream. Walking through the bamboo forest was a cherry blossom forest and a peach blossom forest. , there are several thatched houses under the blooming flowers. Jia Yan stood outside the firewood gate and looked up at it. There was a plaque of Qingfengzhai. There were peach blossoms inside, and there was a poem to it, saying, "I should pity the green moss on the teeth of my shoes, and the small buckle of the firewood leaf has not been opened for a long time. The spring is full of beauty." The garden couldn't be closed, and a branch of red apricot came out of the wall." Seeing that the master insect was not at home, Jia Yan wandered here, waiting for the master insect to come back. As the sun set, the little ant slowly returned. When he saw a chariot parked outside the bamboo forest, he knew that a distinguished guest had come to visit. The little ants walked into the bamboo forest and saw Jia ants standing outside the courtyard wall from a distance, sometimes looking into the courtyard gate. It seemed that they were getting anxious, so they stepped forward and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Jia is here." What's the matter with the subordinate officer?" Jia Yi turned around and saw Xiao Yi standing on one side and said, "Sidian Big Yi, I'm waiting for you to come back. I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Xiao Yi stepped forward and pushed away. Chai Men, standing aside, said: "Please come to the thatched cottage, Mr. Jia, and let's talk together." The little ants entered the thatched cottage first, followed by Jia Ant, and the servant insects stood outside the bamboo forest, still waiting anxiously, and then entered the bamboo forest and stood there. Outside Qingfengzhai, there is a heavy box next to it.
Two ants were sitting in the pavilion. After Jia Yan entered, he saw that it had lived in such poverty. He thought to himself that a small official, big or small, is not like those who hold real power. The high-ranking officials were accompanied by their entourage when they came in and out, and they were even more crowded. However, Qingfengzhai obviously did not catch his eye. Xiao Yi sat aside and watched his face, and said: "The humble house is simple and poorly taken care of." Jia Yi turned around and saw that it was so young, probably in its prime years, and said: "Why don't you follow me? I recommend you to the king to be a high official, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth." Then with a gesture, the servant standing outside Qingfeng Zhai moved in the box of heavy things and placed it in front of Xiao Yi. Jia Yi stood up and stood in front of the box. He opened the box and found some pearl agate inside. He said, "As long as you are willing to do things for me, these precious things are all yours." Xiao Yi looked at the box. Precious thing, looking at Jia Yi's proud expression, asked: "What do you want your subordinates to do for you?" Jia Yan asked: "Your prime minister is Xiao Yi, right?" Xiao Yi replied: " Exactly." Jia Yi said proudly: "It's very simple, just find out the interests and preferences of the noble ant king and his prime minister." Little ant said: "I'm afraid this method won't work. We, the ant tribe, are trying to rectify corruption. Zhifeng, do you want to use this method to bribe the official? The official advises you to stop as soon as possible. If you touch the ant clan's laws, you will be severely punished." Seeing that it was such a small official, Jia Ant looked at the thatched cottage again, Seemingly sarcastic, he said: "Seeing that you are in such embarrassment, don't you want to have a prosperous official career and surpass the little ants of the Prime Minister? As long as you and I cooperate with each other, everything is possible. Don't shut out wealth." The little ant responded: "Master has a disciple. He eats from a basket and drinks from a ladle. He never forgets his aspirations in a back alley, cannot bear his worries, and does not change his joy. If Xianggong Jia has nothing else to do, please come back." When Xiao Yi was about to get up, Jia Yi pulled Xiao Yi and said: "Why are you doing this? Business is not about friendship." Xiao Yi turned around and said sternly: "Believe it or not, I will report your behavior today to the Prime Minister, Big Yi. Let's see how Xiang Guo's big ant is dealt with?" Jia Yi began to give in, and could only explain his purpose of coming, saying: "Sidian, the foreign envoy has been here for many days but has not been summoned by the king. I would like to ask when the king will summon him for discussion. Peace talks." Xiao Yi replied: "Please forgive my humble words. In addition, the king is busy with government affairs, so please wait for the news." Jia Yi's hot face was pressed against his cold buttocks, and he could only return boringly. , staying in the post house honestly, waiting for the ant king's summons.
A few days later, the little ant entered the court, faced the ant king, and said: "Your Majesty, the momentum of the termite envoys has been exhausted. It is time to summon the ant envoys to the court to discuss peace." The ant king faced the ministers and said: " Do you have any objections, ministers?" The swordsmith and the bearded ant stood up and said, "I have no objections." Then the ministers faced the Ant King and said, "I have no objections, my ministers." The Ant King faced outside the palace door and said: "Very good, you can send word to the termite envoy Jia Yi to enter the palace." Then he ordered the eunuch to enter the post house.
When the eunuch entered the post house, the postmaster stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Zhongshe Dayi." The eunuch asked, "Which room does Jiayi, the envoy of the termite tribe, live in?" The postmaster replied, "Is it better for me to bring Dayi with me?" Go ahead." Yi Cheng led the eunuch into Jia Yi's room. The eunuch walked in and said, "Which of you is Jia Yi, the termite tribe's envoy?" Jia Yi ran up to him, knelt down on the ground and said, "The foreign minister is Jia Yan, and the foreign minister is." The eunuch stood and said, "The messenger is Jia Yan." The envoys of the Termite Clan will come to the palace immediately to meet the king." Jia Yi knelt on the ground and said, "Foreign ministers obey the king's holy decree." He got up and followed the eunuch out of the post house and ran towards the Palace of the King of Ants. Standing outside the main hall, waiting for the Ant King's summons. The eunuch came in to pay homage and said: "Your Majesty, the termite envoy Jia Yi is waiting outside the main hall." The ant king raised his head and looked up and said: "The termite envoy is invited to enter the palace." Then there was a call: "The termite envoy is invited to enter." I'll see you in the palace." Jia Yi helped the envoy up, entered the palace hall, and saluted: "Your Majesty." King Ant said: "Foreign minister, you don't need to be polite." Then Jia Yi took out the peace agreement and presented it to King Ant. After taking the peace treaty slip, he looked at Xiang Guoxu Yi and said, "Does Xiang Guo have any opinion on the termite tribe's peace negotiation?" Xiang Guo Xu Yi stood up and said, "What are the conditions for the termite tribe to negotiate peace?" The ant faced the Xiangguo ant, making it unable to speak for a long time and feeling very puzzled. I heard that the Xiangguo ant of the ant clan was just a little ant who had just crowned himself. Looking at this Xiangguo, it didn't look like the legendary Xiangguo. It was nearly half a century old, so it couldn't figure it out, and said at a loss: "Xiangguo, the little ant, is very intelligent. Although he is nearly half a century old, he is still strong and strong, and he still has the same high-spirited and youthful demeanor as when he was in the termite tribe." Jia Jia said. Ant admired the Prime Minister in front of him, but he couldn't help but pretended to be so pretentious that it became a joke. Xiangguo Xuyi also looked confused and said: "The foreign envoys have given you too much praise. I wonder what conditions your termite tribe has for this?" Jiayi said: "Open a border market to facilitate commerce and trade between the two countries and exchange what they have. The two countries will negotiate peace. From then on, we will become brotherly states, non-aggression, help each other, and jointly build peace after the war. Then the ant tribe will withdraw its troops and return the land in the southwest of the termite tribe to us." The ant king faced Sikong Xiaoyi and said: "Little ant tribe Ant, what do you think about the return of the land in the southwest of the termite tribe?" Little Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the land in the southwest was conquered by the soldiers of our tribe with hard work. In addition to returning the land, the above two terms of the peace treaty can be agreed to." Jia Yi looked at Sikong Xiaoyi, and he began to feel confused and a little embarrassed. He wanted to give a good compliment in front of the Prime Minister, so as to win the Prime Minister's respect. What it didn't expect was that the ant clan's prime minister had changed, leaving it speechless and passive. The pangolin refused to accept it and stood up and said: "If you want to return to the land in the southwest, it depends on whether the national power of your termite tribe allows it." Jia Yan looked at the pangolin's pressing pace, making it retreat continuously, even in fear and panic. Looking at the ant king, he shouted: "Your Majesty." The ant king faced the pangolin and said: "General Pangolin, please don't be rude, please retreat." The pangolin then retreated, and Jia Ant was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and even praised "General Pangolin, what a spirit, what a spirit." The Ant King said, "Does the foreign envoy agree with what Sikong said?" Jia Yi could only acquiesce, and after a long time he said, "Your Majesty, the land in the southwest must belong to our termite tribe. Regarding the land, the foreign minister has a compromise method. If this continues, the foreign minister can return his orders to the king when he goes back." The Ant King asked: "What compromise method?" Jia Yi said: "The two countries will send troops to each other to jointly govern the land. Sikong Xiaoyi stood up and said: "We will not give up any land in the southwest. If you want to return the land in the southwest, it means that the two countries will go to war again. We don't want the people of the two countries to be devastated by war again. Please don't say anything." ." Jia Yi once again expressed his acquiescence. The Ant King handed over the peace agreement. Sikong Xiaoyi took it and stepped forward, saying: "Please take this peace agreement back and revise it before we discuss the peace."
Jia Yan returned to the post house. After Jia Yi walked in, he sat at the desk, opened the letter and stated the situation of the peace negotiation with the termites. He called in his servants and said, "Bring this letter to the termites and ask your Majesty to read it and make a decision." It can be seen that, Jia Yan was also helpless, so he put the letter in the box, sealed it with wax, and handed it out. After receiving it, Servant Chong left the inn at night and ran towards the termites.
The next day, the termite king received the letter from Jia Ant, opened the box with a knife, opened the letter and became angry, saying: "It's too much to bully an insect." The house ant stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." The termite king faced the ministers and said: "Whether it is tolerable or not, doesn't the ant tribe want to start a war? Where is General Bai Feng?" General Bai Feng stood up and said, "The general is here." The ants stood up to dissuade them, saying: "Your Majesty, you cannot send troops. A weak country has no diplomacy, so it only waits to take measures until the country becomes stronger and regains the land in the southwest. At this time, it sends troops, the war rekindles, and the people suffer again." The Termite King could only sit down and agree to negotiate peace.
Three days later, the Ant King summoned the termite envoy Jia Yi in the Qianyuan Hall. Jia Yi walked into the hall with the envoy in hand and presented the peace agreement. The eunuch came down and took the peace agreement, placed it on the desk, stamped a large seal on the peace agreement, and handed over letters of credence to each other. The ant king stepped down and held Jia Yi's hand, raised it, and said: "The friendship between the ant tribe and the termite tribe will be beneficial to the people of the two countries. They will open up a border market and trade with each other for mutual benefit." The minister knelt down and looked up, and said: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the ants will live forever." The ant king spread his arms and said, "All your ministers are equal." Then he climbed onto the pedestal, faced the civil and military officials, and said, "May the people of the ants be safe. May you enjoy eternal peace." Then he sat down.
