"I can't leave just yet!"
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "If Linzi doesn't get into chaos, I'm afraid Hou Sheng won't bow his head!"
"Besides, I also hope that Linzi will be in chaos!"
"Sir, it's too dangerous!"
Yao Jia disagreed with this.
In his opinion, Zhao Shu's safety comes first.
He didn't want what happened in Handan, Zhao State, to happen again.
"When I was weak in Handan, I almost died..."
"Don't worry, Sir, I will act according to the opportunity!" Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, then solemnly said to Yao Jia: "As soon as I see that something cannot be done, I will leave Linzi immediately!"
"Now that our great Qin warriors are at the border, Qi State does not dare to mess around!"
Seeing that Zhao Shu Tiexin stayed, Yao Jia did not dissuade him. He knew in his heart that this man was also a stubborn person and would not waver once he made a decision.
Moreover, Zhao Shu's power and status were beyond his control.
After thinking about this, Yao Jia turned to Zhao Shu and said: "Master, when we enter Linzi this time, please cooperate with me!"
"Compared to making diplomatic relations, Young Master is better at war!"
"It's natural!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded and said in a calm tone: "I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and I have always advocated leaving professional matters to professionals!"
"This time I join Qi, I just want to see the splendor of Jixia Academy!"
"It's a pity that Jixia Academy has become a thing of the past..."
"There is no more scholars arguing, no more loud reading, only the smell of copper is left!"
........
Linzi Palace.
Hou Sheng walked into the main hall, looked respectfully at King Qi Jian, and said, "I have seen your Majesty, Hou Sheng!"
"The Prime Minister is here!"
A smile appeared on Qi Wangjian's face, and he said to Hou Sheng, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After thanking and saluting, Hou Sheng sat aside and said, "Your Majesty, the State of Qi is pressing forward step by step. I have received the news. This time, General Wang Jian will be the chief general, and Gongzi Shu and Li Mu will be the deputy generals!"
"The intention is to destroy them all in one fell swoop and complete the unification of the Central Plains!"
"At the same time, the exiled clans of other countries are making a lot of noise and want to form a large army to fight against Qin together with my army!"
.......
Hearing this, Qi Wangjian fell silent.
Qi Wangjian, who was somewhat weak in character, couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while. He had been in the royal palace since the Queen's death.
The whole court of Qi State was handed over to Hou Sheng.
This made Hou Sheng the most powerful prime minister in the history of Qi State.
Similarly, Qi Wangjian was extremely unfamiliar with government affairs.
After the mourning of King Jian of Qi, Hou Sheng launched a large-scale construction project, and beauties, alchemists, elixirs, songs and dances were almost everywhere around King Jian of Qi.
From then on, King Jian of Qi was obsessed with it.
Then win and take control.
Of course, Hou Sheng knew clearly that his foundation in Qi was the Queen and King Jian of Qi.
When the queen of the king dies, his foundation in Qi is King Jian of Qi.
As long as King Jian of Qi is alive, he will be the false king of Qi and the most powerful official in Qi. But if King Jian of Qi dies, he will be swallowed up by the resentment between the government and the public of Qi.
This is also the reason why Hou Sheng has always respected Qi Wangjian very much and will let Qi Wangjian know about anything.
"Prime Minister, what do you think I, Da Qi, will do right now?"
After thinking for a long time, Qi Wangjian still couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he couldn't help but put the problem back to Hou Sheng.
"Your Majesty, the current situation in Linzi is delicate!"
Hou Sheng took a sip of tea and said to King Jian of Qi: "The people of Qi have been grudges for a long time, and the exile of the family has added fuel to the fire. Even if the Queen Mother is still alive, I'm afraid it will not help!"
After a long silence, King Jian of Qi said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, I, Da Qi, have been friends with Da Qin since Duke Xiang, and almost never set foot in the Central Plains!"
"Since I succeeded to the throne, I can say that I have respected Great Qin as a superior state and served Great Qin as a minister. Could it be that Great Qin wants to betray our Qi State?"
Hearing this, Hou Sheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!"
"We, Da Qi, are not involved in the Central Plains. We are seeking self-security. Naturally, this is what Da Qin wants. Da Qi is doing it for self-protection, not for Qin!"
"Now that the world has entered the Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin has the power to unify the world, and he is determined to win!"
"Your Majesty, we have no other choice, either fight to the death or surrender!"
At this moment, Qi Wangjian took a sip of wine and said in a low tone: "Prime Minister, if I, Da Qi, fight to the death and unite with these exiled families, can I stop Da Qin?"
"I want an accurate word?"
"It's hard!"
A glint appeared in Hou Sheng's eyes, and he said word by word to King Qi Jian: "Almost impossible!"
"Although Da Qi is strong and prosperous, it is not as good as the previous Qin State!"
"What's more, the current Great Qin has annexed various countries, and both its national and military power have reached an unprecedented height!"
"Juye's army now only has 200,000 troops. Our Daqi army has not experienced war for decades, and its armaments are lax. Even though some changes have been made this year, the results have been minimal!"
"The warriors of Great Qin have been fighting every year for the past ten years. They have defeated all the invincible opponents in the world!"
"The most important thing is that now all the famous generals in the world are in Da Qin. Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Gongzi Shu are the victorious generals. If the three of them join forces, there will be no rivals in the world!"
"If we fight to the death, we will only be destroyed a year or two later!"
"But, when the time comes, we will have no extra choice!"
At this point, Hou Sheng changed the subject and turned to King Qi Jian, saying: "Your Majesty is the King of our Great Qi. How to choose depends on Your Majesty's decision!"
Hearing this, King Qi's face turned pale, and after a long while he said, "I am going to the ancestral temple. I will leave the specific matters to the Prime Minister to discuss with the envoys from Qin!"
"I believe that the envoy from Qin has arrived in Linzi!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Hou Sheng watched Qi Wangjian leave. A flash of light flashed deep in his eyes. He realized that he had underestimated this king all along.
Obviously, this king also has his own hidden power.
As soon as he thought of this, Hou Sheng couldn't help but feel no happiness at all. Instead, the fear buried deep in his heart grew again.
Especially now that the world's exiled families are pouring into Linzi like a tide, suddenly pushing him to the forefront.
Although, Daqi's treasury is full.
His treasury was also full.
At the same time, he felt confused about his future and had a clearer understanding of Qi's situation.
He knew in his heart that back then, the crazy Qi people could cut the King of Qi into pieces with a thousand cuts, but now he might not be able to cut himself into pieces with a thousand cuts.
As for the Qi State, it either perished due to civil strife caused by the refugees, or it perished due to the elites of the Qin Dynasty.
He has always been tied to Qi State. If he finds a new way, he will inevitably be destroyed along with Qi State.
The thoughts in my heart were turning, and Hou Sheng's thoughts became more determined.
