After hearing this, Kong Ming was a little confused and asked, "What are you planning to do?" Yu Yi smiled mysteriously. The time was not ripe for this matter, so he should wait for a while.
Just as the two were about to continue discussing the future direction of the country's development, soldiers suddenly came in to report, saying that Zhang Wen and Deng Zhi from Soochow had entered Xichuan to pay tribute. Yuyi gathered the civil and military forces in Danqi and asked Deng Zhi and Zhang Wen to enter together.
Zhang Wen thought he was successful, so he walked to the center of the hall with his head raised and his chest high. When he saw Yu Yi, he saluted him. Yu Yi rewarded Jin Dun and asked Zhang Wen to sit on the left side of the hall. They set up a banquet to entertain him. Yu Yi did not have too much at the banquet. His words were just the courtesy of a landlord, and his first impression of Zhang Wen was not good. However, Kong Ming had told him not to be too hasty about the alliance, so he could only deal with these red tapes reluctantly.
After the banquet was over, everyone sent Zhang Wen to Guanyi to rest. On the second day, Kong Ming set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Wen. Kong Ming said to Zhang Wen: "When the late emperor was here, the relationship with Soochow was not good. Now the new emperor, Although he is one of the sworn members of Taoyuan, he is far-sighted and admires the King of Wu very much. He is ready to put aside the old grudges, form an alliance forever, and attack Wei together. I hope that the doctor will convey this meaning when he returns."
Zhang Wen nodded, indicating that he understood. Halfway through the wine, Zhang Wen suddenly burst into laughter, with a certain arrogance in his expression.
One day later, Yuyi gave the gold and silk to Zhang Wen, held a banquet at the postal pavilion in the south of the city, and then ordered the officials to send it out. Kongming kept urging him to drink, and while he was drinking, suddenly a man came in drunkenly, standing proudly. Yi, when he saw an empty seat, he sat there without permission. Zhang Wen felt very strange and asked Kong Ming, "Who is he?"
He replied: "The surname is Qin, the given name is Mi, and the courtesy name is Ziyuan. He is currently a bachelor of Yizhou."
After hearing this, Zhang Wen laughed and said: "You are a bachelor, but I don't know if he has real knowledge in his chest."
Qin Mi looked very serious and said: "A three-foot-long child in Shu is going to school, let alone me?"
Zhang Wen said: "Then what content are you studying?"
He replied: "From astronomy to geography, there are three religions and nine streams, hundreds of schools of thought, everything is understood; the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, the scriptures of sages, everything is understood."
Zhang Wen deliberately tried to stir up his energy and said with a smile: "Since you are boasting about Haikou, let me ask you, is there a reason for this?"
He replied: "There is a head."
Zhang Wen said: "Where?"
He replied: "In the West, it is said in the "Poetry" that the head is in the West. According to this, isn't the head in the West?"
Zhang Wen asked again: "Does the sky have ears?"
He replied: "The sky is too high, so my hearing is a bit poor. It is said in "Poetry" that the crane's cry is heard by the sky. If the sky has no ears, how can it be heard?"
Zhang Wen asked again: "Is the sky enough?"
He replied: "There must be. The "Poetry" says that walking is very difficult. If there are no feet, how can you walk?"
Zhang Wen asked again: "Does the sky have a name?"
He replied: "Why doesn't he have a name? His surname is Yu."
Zhang Wen said: "How do you know this? Did you get it from "Poetry"?"
He replied: "The emperor's surname is Yu, so I know that the emperor's surname is Yu."
Zhang Wen asked again: "Does the sun rise in the east?"
He replied: "Although it is born in the east, it lands in the west."
Although Qin Mi drank a lot of wine and was almost drunk, his thoughts were very clear and his answers were fluent. All the guests were surprised. All Zhang Wen's questions were answered. There were no words for a while. At this time, Qin Mi asked in turn : "Since Sir is a famous scholar in Soochow, I asked about the major events in the world, so he must know the principles of heaven. In the past, chaos was divided, yin and yang were divided, light and clear things floated to the top and became the sky, and heavy and turbid things fell down. That is the ground. When Gonggong was defeated, he hit Buzhou Mountain with his head, causing the sky pillar to break and a gap to form in the earth. The sky tilted to the northwest and the earth sank to the southeast. Since the sky is made of light and clear things that can float up , why is it tilting towards the northwest? What are the so-called objects other than Qingqing? Please enlighten me, sir."
After hearing this, Zhang Wen was shocked and speechless. He avoided the table and thanked him: "I didn't expect that the heroes in Shu are so powerful. Some of the theories just made me enlightened."
Kong Ming was afraid that Zhang Wen would be ashamed and affect the relationship between the two parties, so he used kind words to persuade him, saying: "The conversations during the dinner were all joking. I think you know the principles of peace and stability, so don't pay attention to some small talk." !”
Zhang Wen thanked Zhang Wen, and Kong Ming asked Deng Zhi to go to Wu State to pay tribute and go back with Zhang Wen. So the two said goodbye to Yu Yi and Kong Ming and walked to Soochow.
This wonderful conversation was fully participated by Yu Yi. Yu Yi just smiled secretly in his heart. He is gifted with yin and yang, and Pangu created the world. These are all contents in myths. In fact, the sky is the universe. In the end, all those clear and floating things are Atmosphere, the so-called Tianzhu is broken, it should mean that the heavenly palace where the gods live is in the sky, so it will tilt. In the end, it is a paradox, and there is definitely no value for debate.
After the two left, Yu Yi said to Kong Ming: "Today's debate was very exciting. I think Qin Mi is pretty good. He can be trained as a diplomat and teacher. The Prime Minister must pay more attention to discover more people like Qin Mi." A talent like Mi.”
When the King of Wu saw that Zhang Wen had not returned from Western Shu for a long time, he gathered civil and military officials to discuss the matter. Suddenly, a close official announced: "Shu sent Deng Zhi and Zhang Wen back to answer the question."
Sun Quan summoned him, and Zhang Wen knelt down in front of the palace, saying that the new emperors Yu Yi and Kong Ming were of good virtue and hoped to form an alliance with Wu Yong. He also specially sent Deng Zhi to return the gift. Sun Quan was very happy and set up a banquet. Come and be entertained.
During this period, Sun Quan asked Deng Zhi: "If Soochow and Shu wipe out Wei together, wouldn't it be great when the world is at peace and the two masters can govern the country together?"
Deng Zhi replied: "Heaven does not have two times, and the people do not have two masters. After Wei is destroyed, we still don't know who the destiny will be. But as a king, you must cultivate virtue, and as a minister, Do your duty faithfully, and then the war will disappear."
After hearing this, Sun Quan laughed and said, "I like how sincere you are!" So he rewarded Deng Zhi heavily and asked him to return to Western Shu. From then on, the relationship between Wu and Western Shu became better.
This matter was soon discovered by Xizuo, and he quickly reported it to the Central Plains. When the leader of Wei, Cao Pi, learned about it, he was very angry and said angrily: "If Shu and Wu are in alliance, they will definitely attack the Central Plains together. Why don't I go first?" Send troops and horses to attack." So the civil and military officials gathered together to discuss attacking Soochow. By this time, Grand Sima Cao Ren and Taiwei Jia Xu had already passed away.
