"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
As Sun Qi spoke, he subconsciously looked at the Qin generals on his left and right, looking suddenly alert.
Knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, Xiao Yuan did not explain. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "How about we end today's matter here and discuss it later?"
"This, Your Highness..." Sun Qi was puzzled.
Xiao Yuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then waved his hand and said sternly: "General, please go back first, please take it seriously. I, the king, don't want to see anything happen to you."
This, what does King Qin mean?
Monk Sun Qi Zhanger was confused. It was impossible to say that King Qin wanted to harm him.
He frowned secretly, it could be seen that Xiao Yuan had issued an order to expel the guests, and could only bow before leaving.
What Xiao Yuan meant was that he was referring to the Huan Kingdom Court.
The situation in Huan Kingdom was very complicated.
Xiang Ge and other hereditary dignitaries have deep interests among themselves, and it is impossible to let Sun Qi continue like this.
During the battle, Sun Qi brought benefits to Huan State, and King Huan needed him.
But now that the war is over, that situation has to be discussed differently.
Huandu, Chaoyi Hall.
Minister Guo Kai came out and said: "Your Majesty, now Liang Kingdom has been destroyed and the war is over, but Sun Qi is still holding troops outside. His intentions are suspicious."
Guo Kai is a member of Xiang Ge's party.
If Sun Qi was to be impeached, Xiang Ge couldn't stand up on his own, because that would easily be said to be jealous of the virtuous and capable, which would not be very effective.
After hearing this, King Huan also became slightly nervous: "What do you mean, Mr. Guo?"
Guo Kaidao: "Has the king forgotten that Sun Qi refused to accept the king's order before? He dares to be so disobedient. The first time, there will definitely be a second time!"
"Furthermore, according to detailed reports, he had had wine and conviviality with the King of Qin many times on the Yanzhou battlefield. The two of them were very close. More importantly, our army could obviously seize Liangdu first, but Sun Qi generously gave it to King Qin, probably because there was some secret agreement between the two..."
"Wei Chen heard that the reason Sun Qi is still stationing troops outside is because he is discussing something with the King of Qin."
"The King of Qin wants to use the name of the Emperor to grant him the title of king, and support his troops in the eastern border of Liang Kingdom to support himself."
"What!?" Upon hearing this, King Huan's eyes widened immediately.
Huan Xiang Qiu Rong quickly stood up, looked at Guo Kaida and said, "Is there any conclusive evidence for what Mr. Guo said?"
"This..." Guo Kai hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The authenticity of this matter has yet to be confirmed, but as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, Prime Minister."
"Hmph!" Qiu Rong sneered and said unceremoniously: "If this is not true, Mr. Guo is just stirring up trouble in front of the king! He is falsely accusing me of being loyal!"
"This, this, this." Hearing this, Guo Kai panicked and quickly explained to King Huan: "Your Majesty, I am just worried about military affairs and want to share the worries of Your Majesty. This is definitely not what the Prime Minister said."
"Okay, okay." King Huan waved his hand and said, "Master Guo has always been loyal, so the Prime Minister's words should not be too biased."
"This, yes." The king said so, Qiu Rong could only respond.
At this time, another minister stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether what Mr. Guo said is true or not, Sun Qi must be suspected of this. In the opinion of the humble minister, now that the war is over, he should be ordered to... Return to the capital quickly and return the military talisman."
"As for Qin Huan's affairs after the war, it is not up to him as a general. It should be sent by the royal court to contact the King of Qin on behalf of the king."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately received the message: "Yes, Sun Qi did not hesitate to abandon his wife in order to become a general! But Wei Chen heard that his wife was well-educated and could not afford to eat when he was poor. When I was young, I followed him around and sewed clothes for him under the lamp, but he didn't hesitate and drove him away!"
"Such a woman is so virtuous. It shows that Sun Qi is actually a ruthless and ungrateful person. He is willing to give up everything for fame and fortune. If the King of Qin allows him huge profits, he will definitely be bribed."
After listening to what all the ministers said, King Huan immediately panicked and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, we must not let Sun Qi have military power now, hurry up! Pass the king's order and let him return to the capital immediately!"
In fact, from a heart point of view, King Huan was a bit complicated towards Sun Qi.
On the one hand, he thinks this is a talent.
On the one hand, he felt that Sun Qi was scary and he couldn't control him at all.
If a king feels that he cannot control his subordinates, the consequences can be imagined.
This is also related to King Huan's own character and abilities.
He is not a man of great talent or strategy.
When Qiu Rong saw this, he moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.
After King Huan said this, he looked at him again: "In addition, the Prime Minister will immediately go to contact King Qin on behalf of my king to discuss the post-war matters."
"Ah?" Qiu Rong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, bowed his hands and said, "Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order."
After the court meeting here, because it was a major event, Qiu Rong did not dare to delay, so he hurried to Yanzhou with the envoy's guard of honor.
A few days later, Huan Jun camped.
Qiu Rong came here not only as an envoy on behalf of King Huan, but also as an envoy to King Sun Qi.
Unfolding the letter written by King Huan, Sun Qi didn't say much after reading it. He nodded and said, "I will lead the army back to the capital immediately. Prime Minister Lao will be the one to negotiate with Qin Huan."
As he spoke, he added: "When dealing with the King of Qin, unlike the monarchs of other countries, clever words are meaningless. The Prime Minister should point out the role of our Huan army on the battlefield, and use this as an excuse to insist on it."
Hearing this, Qiu Rong nodded in agreement: "What the general said is absolutely true. I will go all out, but on your side, after returning to the capital..."
At this point, he also showed a hesitation in speaking.
"What does Prime Minister mean?" Sun Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Haha, it's nothing. Anyway, be careful." Qiu Rong could only say this.
Even though Sun Qi had no political acumen, he also reacted at this time and couldn't help but ask: "The prime minister is referring to the ministers in the court, right?"
"As long as the general understands, there are many things that the truth cannot control, alas!" Qiu Rong sighed.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me. I just have a clear conscience and am not afraid of what anyone will say." Sun Qi said without caring.
Qiu Rong secretly shook his head.
If you are dedicated to fighting for Huan Guo, that is your problem.
It doesn’t mean there aren’t villains behind.
But these things are useless even if they are explained clearly. In the entire Huan Dynasty court, the only one who can say something for Sun Qi is probably Qiu Rong. This is because of his mentor's face, so his usual strength is not at all Even though he was a big man, he didn't reach the point where he had to protect his grandson.
