Zilanxuan,
Ying Ziqing was wearing a simple and luxurious black gold robe, her long hair that was originally scattered was tied up high, and her handsome, cold and arrogant face showed no expression.
Yan Lingji stood behind Ying Ziqing, adjusting Ying Ziqing's clothes gently.
"The young master is really heroic today. It's a pity that the slave family can't see the heroic figure of the young master scolding Fang Qiu in the court tonight."
Yan Lingji pouted her mouth and said with some regret.
Ying Ziqing turned around and raised his hand to give her a small headache.
"When did Ling'er learn to flatter?"
"Humph, I didn't. I need to go to bed early tonight so that I can't wait for you, Master."
Ying Ziqing's backhand caused another cerebellar collapse.
…………
Zheng Palace is the main palace where King An of Han handles government affairs. This evening, King Han prepared a state banquet of the highest standard here to receive the Qin envoys.
King Han is sitting on the throne in the center, with famous Korean dishes and fine wines placed in front of him.
The same delicacies are placed in the two columns below.
Korean civil servants and military generals are listed on the left and right sides in sequence.
Sitting first on the right side is naturally Ji Wuye, who is in charge of more than half of South Korea's military power.
He was dressed in bright silver chain mail, with a red cloak hanging behind his back, and his rough and bold face showed relaxation and casualness.
The wine glasses on the table are filled with fine wine.
From time to time, he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. Han Wangan on the throne seemed to turn a blind eye to this, staring at the door with a dull expression.
The person sitting first on the left is not the Prime Minister of South Korea, but the seat reserved for the Qin envoy Ying Ziqing.
The second person on the left has his face lowered and open, and there is no emotion or joy on his wrinkled face.
Facing Ji Wuye's mocking glances from time to time, his open hands on his knees were clenched into fists.
Since Kaifandi has lost the face of King Han, he has been neglecting Kaifandi intentionally or unintentionally recently.
Faced with the displeasure of King Han and the ridicule of his arch-rival Ji Wuye, Kaifeng could only swallow his anger. Even if his property was snatched away by Ji Wuye, he could only remain silent.
He blamed all of this on Qin's envoy Ying Ziqing. Although Ying Ziqing didn't know that Zhang Kaidi had resented him in his heart, even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't care at all.
It is worth mentioning that as a young master who had just returned to the country, Han Fei was allowed to attend the banquet by the King of Han as an exception because of his merits.
Han Fei, who was sitting upright, glanced sideways at the device used to record time, feeling secretly worried in his heart.
It’s already this time, why isn’t Brother Ziqing here yet…
Just when King Han and the ministers were waiting a little impatiently, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded outside the hall:
"The envoy from the State of Qin has arrived——"
Everyone raised their eyes and looked,
A young man wearing a black gold robe, tall and straight, with a stern face slowly walked into the hall.
Looking at Ying Ziqing, who was young but full of aura, Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Interesting guy... No wonder King Qin dared to send such a guy as an envoy to South Korea."
Zhang Kaidi cast a malicious look at Ying Ziqing.
Ying Ziqing ignored the scrutinizing glances from the Korean ministers and walked calmly to the center of the hall.
He cupped his hands and said loudly:
"The envoy of Qin, Ying Ziqing, was ordered by the King of Qin to visit South Korea."
Although Han Wangan was angry that he had lost face in front of Ying Ziqing, he could barely show a smile at this moment.
"Haha, the Qin envoy's visit to South Korea reflects the sworn friendship between you and Qin and Han. I have prepared fine wine and food. Let's sit down and talk."
"Thank you, King Han."
Ying Ziqing calmly sat down at the front seat. Seeing the resentful eyes, Ying Ziqing responded with a faint smile.
"The envoy of Qin was sent to Korea for the trust of the King of Qin at a young age. He is indeed young and promising. I just don't know why the King of Qin sent you here?"
Han Wangan turned to look at Ying Ziqing, who was in the first seat.
Ying Ziqing took a sip of the wine in the bottle and said:
"The King of Qin ordered me to come here this time to express to the King of Han that Qin and South Korea will always be allies. If other countries invade South Korea, I, the Qin Dynasty, will not sit idly by and watch."
Ying Ziqing paused and continued:
"It's just that I should add 30% to the annual tribute that South Korea pays to my country, Qin."
As soon as this statement came out,
King Han and all the Korean ministers could not sit still.
He stood up and pointed at Ying Ziqing angrily:
"You, the Qin State, are really bullying others. We pay a lot of annual tribute every year. What's more, Korea has suffered from severe drought in recent years. If you increase the annual tribute, where will you put our Korean people?"
Han Wangan also looked at Ying Ziqing with a gloomy face, and the other ministers looked at him angrily.
Facing Zhang Kaidi's angry accusations, Ying Ziqing's face still had the same wavering expression.
He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he thought to himself:
"This fish cooked in Qi is more delicious. It seems that the Korean fish still needs to be fried in high fire to taste."
"Qi State..."
Damn the envoy of Qin, this is threatening me that if I don't pay annual tribute, Qin will turn around and form an alliance with Qi, and then attack my country with a sword... Damn it.
Thinking of this, the cowardly Han Wangan gritted his teeth.
He said in a deep voice: "Okay! South Korea is willing to increase the annual tribute by 30% to show the kindness of Qin and Han."
Ying Ziqing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The King of Han is indeed a wise king. He is not like some short-sighted people who say they are for the people of Korea, but in fact they put Korea in dire straits. King Han, his heart is to be punished. .”
Hearing this, Zhang Kai was so angry that he almost burst into anger. He didn't care about King Han's eyes and strode forward to grab Ying Ziqing's collar.
Ying Ziqing did not stop Kaidi's movement, but turned to look at King Han with a disappointed expression on his face and said:
“Is this the Korean way of hospitality?”
King Han overturned the table in front of him and shouted loudly:
"Open the ground! Are you going to rebel?
Someone come!
Take the Prime Minister down to rest! "
Two guards immediately walked out of the hall, grabbing his arms and lifting him down.
King Han took a deep breath after venting his anger at Ying Ziqing's humiliation.
He smiled and said:
"Haha, I made envoy Qin laugh. Please forgive me, envoy Qin."
"It doesn't matter. King Han understands justice and will naturally punish his subordinates severely, right?"
Han Wangan forced out a smile,
"It's natural."
Ji Wuye, who was watching coldly from the side, raised the corners of his mouth in an intriguing arc.
Seeing his mortal enemy being humiliated by the Qin envoy, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart. He even felt comfortable looking at the Qin envoy.
A table of delicacies was placed in front of Han Wangan again.
He said with a big belly:
"There was a little drama, let's move on."
As he spoke, he raised the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Ying Ziqing,
Ying Ziqing also raised his glass and clinked it with Han Wang An Yao.
King Han clapped his hands with a smile, and more than a dozen scantily clad dancers walked into the hall.
Twisting the graceful and enchanting dance...
This world has always been like this, the weak eat the strong, the strong control their destiny, while the weak can only accept their fate...
A deep voice sounded from the depths of Ying Ziqing's sea of consciousness:
"You have been given two fishing opportunities..."
