The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Ying Quliang, the Qin court official, looked at the ministers below and said,"My lords, the envoys from all countries have arrived. When will Qin start offering sacrifices?" The official below stood up and said,"Your Majesty, tomorrow is a good day. You can sacrifice to your ancestors!""Okay, then we will sacrifice tomorrow and inform the envoys from various countries to arrive tomorrow!" Ying Quliang said.

In the evening, Wei Shen and others were sorting out the intelligence and maps obtained from Qin. Wei Shen on the side asked:"His Royal Highness, should we implement the general's plan tomorrow?" Wei Shen's eyes showed a cold light and said:"After the funeral is over, we will buy out the Qin market!"——yes!

Early the next morning, envoys from various countries went to Qin's palace, and Wei Shen and Pang Ying also went there. After arriving at the palace gate, Wei Shen and others got out of the car and saw that envoys from various countries had arrived in advance.

Wei Shen saw that the envoys of the three kingdoms of Song, Wei, and Lu were together. It seemed that these three small countries could only feel safe if they were united. The envoys of Qi State stood together with the envoys of Ba State and Yue State, the envoys of South Korea and the envoys of Zhao State stood together, and the envoys of Chu State and the envoys of the Emperor did not join any party and stood alone.

When the Korean envoy Han Wenruo saw Wei Shen and others, he quickly greeted:"The envoys of Wei are here!" Wei Shen and others walked over after hearing this. Han Wenruo saluted and said:"Your Majesty, Han Wenruo has seen Wei. Envoy."

Wei Shen also saluted and said:"Prince Wei Shen has met your Majesty!" When Han Wenruo and Zhao Ji, the envoy of the State of Zhao, heard that the State of Wei had sent the Crown Prince as an envoy, they hurriedly saluted again:"Your Majesty! I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wei!"

Wei Shen said with a smile:"We, Zhao, Wei and Han, are one family, so why should we be so polite? If there is a war in any of the three countries in the future, we will all have to deal with it together!" Han Wenruo said,"What the Crown Prince said That is, but if South Korea wants to develop now, there is no way to expand!"

Wei Shen approached Han Wenruo and whispered:"We, the State of Wei, support South Korea's annexation of the Western Zhou State, and we, the State of Wei, are willing to give the land of Shangluo to South Korea!"

When Han Wenruo heard this, he quickly asked:"Is what the prince said true?" Wei Shen laughed and said:"How could I, the prince, deceive the high officials of South Korea? This land of Shangluo was specially ordered by Qin, my father, to Give it to South Korea!" Han Wenruo was very excited when he heard that. The land of Shangluo was 200 miles, plus the 100 miles of Western Zhou Kingdom. South Korea would get 300 miles of land without much effort. Han Wenruo quickly handed over his hand and said:"Thank you very much. Your Highness the Crown Prince of Wei, I would like to thank the State of Wei on behalf of South Korea!"

Then, Wei Shen said to Zhao Ji:"We, the State of Wei, support the State of Zhao in attacking the State of Zhongshan, and are willing to send troops to attack the State of Zhongshan with the State of Zhao!" The State of Zhongshan has always been After hearing this, Zhao Ji held up his hands and said,"Prince Gao Yi of Wei, on behalf of Zhao State, I would like to thank Wei State!"

Tian Zhuo secretly looked at the three Jins and saw them talking and laughing, and felt a little in his heart. Confused, what are they talking about? Is it about our Qi country? Si Ke, the Yue envoy on the side, saw that Tian Zhuo was absent-minded, so he asked:"Is there anything on your mind, Mr. Tian Zhuo?" When Tian Zhuo heard this, he quickly said:"Oh, no, I was just curious about what Sanjin and the others were talking about. What?"

Finally, a minister of the Qin State came out when the palace door opened and said:"I am the official of the Qin State. Please come in, envoys!" Then, the envoys from various countries entered the palace gate and went to the Qin State Hall. Wei Shen Wada Zhuo seems to be getting more serious. Both want to go faster than the other and both want to surpass the other! The emperor's envoys were walking in the front, behind them were the envoys from Qi and Wei, and behind the Wei envoys were the envoys from South Korea and Zhao!

After entering the court, the formations were clearly divided. The envoys of the three kingdoms of Qi, Ba, and Yue stood together, the envoys of the four kingdoms of Wei, Korea, Zhao, and Chu stood together, the three kingdoms of Song, Lu, and Wei stood together, and the envoy of the Emperor stood alone. middle. When Ying Quliang saw that all the envoys from various countries had arrived, he quickly said:"The envoys from all over the world have come to express condolences to our Qin State. I hope that we can be friendly to each other in the future."

The emperor's envoy said:"Qin Gong, the emperor is very grateful to Qin. The emperor was very saddened by the news that Duke Xian had passed away. The emperor was very pleased with the fact that Duke Xian had led his troops to defeat Wei in the Battle of Shimen and beheaded 60,000 of Wei's leaders. He was very pleased with the behavior of Duke Xian in protecting the emperor. In this regard, the emperor gave a special gift I give you a jade ax and a bronze tripod, and allow Duke Qin to conquer all the vassal states in the world!"

After hearing this, all the ministers of the Qin State were very excited in their hearts. You must know that the State of Qin has finally been recognized by the emperor. Now If Qin attacks another country, it doesn’t need a reason, and it can be fought! Ying Quliang was very happy after hearing this. He stood up quickly and said,"Wei minister, thank you for the gift of the emperor!"

After hearing this, Wei Shen on the side knew that the emperor's envoy came to cause trouble for him in Wei State, so he also stepped forward and said,"Wei The Crown Prince has met Qin Gong! The Marquis of Wei was very sad about the death of Duke Xian. Although our Wei State annihilated Qin’s 300,000 troops in the Battle of Shaoliang, our Wei State expressed our deep regret for this. Now our Wei State is willing to fight with Qin State. The country was reconciled again, and the good times of Qin and Jin were restored! I specially returned the sword of General Qin that was captured during the Battle of Shaoliang to Qin! And we, the State of Wei, also brought the armor of General Zhang Yu of Qin. It's a pity that we didn't find the body!"

Ying Quliang, who was above, became more and more angry as he listened, and even now he drew his sword and killed Wei Shen! But Ying Quliang still suppressed his anger, sighed, and said:"Then thank you, Prince Wei, for returning the sword and armor to Qin!" The eyes of all the ministers in the Qin court were full of joy. Staring at Wei Shen and others angrily, after hearing this, Zhang Yuan's son Zhang Yuan tightly grasped the sword at his waist, wishing to kill him now to avenge his father!

Later, the Korean envoy also stepped forward and said:"I, the Marquis of Han, heard that Duke Xian died and was very sad, so I gave him a piece of jade as a special gift!" The envoy from Zhao also stepped forward and said,"I, Marquis Zhao, heard that Duke Xian died. I am very sad, so I will give you a BMW as a special gift!" The Chu envoy also stepped forward and said,"King Chu was very sad when he heard that Duke Xian died, so he specially gave a pair of jade pei as a gift!"

When Tian Zhuo saw Wei Guo, Zhao The State of Chu, Korea, and the State of Chu, who specially wanted to conquer the State of Qin, also stepped forward and said:"The envoys of the State of Qi paid homage to the Duke of Qin. The Duke of Qi was very sad when he heard that Duke Xian had passed away. He came here to give a pair of jade bis to him specially. , ten bright pearls, two jade beads! And our Qi State also brought a good thing to Qin State. I heard that Duke Qin liked swords. After our Qi State defeated Chu State in the Battle of Huaisi, we also captured Chu State. The sword of a general of our country, by the order of my Duke Qi, I will give this sword to Duke Qin!" After hearing this, the Chu envoy gritted his teeth and stared at Tian Zhuo with anger, wishing to eat him alive! After Wei Shen saw it, he understood and said:"Mr. Qin, this time when I come from Wei, I want to give something to Duke Qin. This object is a jade pendant that Duke Kang of Qi gave to me, Marquis Wen of Wei. I specially gave it to Duke Qin."

Tian Zhuo When I heard this, I was very angry. You know, Qi Kanggong never gave Wei Wenhou a gift at all. The whole world only knew that Wei Wenhou captured Qi Kanggong. If you think about it, you will know that the so-called jade pendant was just snatched by Wei Wenhou.! This is obviously Wei Shen deliberately bringing out the saddest part of Qi State. The envoys of Han, Zhao and Chu all looked at Tian Zhuo, the envoy of Qi, and smiled secretly. Tian Zhuo also stared at Wei Shen with resentment and wished he could kill Wei Shen!

Ying Quliang saw that the situation below was tense, and he quickly said:"My envoys, since you are all here, you can eat and drink well in Qin with peace of mind! There is no need to talk about the past!" The doctor Qianlong on the side also quickly advised:"Everyone, since you are here to mourn, let's go to the memorial hall to offer sacrifices now!"——good!

After the sacrifice, Wei Shen and others returned to the post house. Pang Ying asked:"Your Highness, can we implement the plan now?" Wei Shen nodded and said,"It can be implemented."——yes.

In the study room of Qin's palace

, Ying Quliang looked at Qianlong and others, sighed and said:"Everyone, this time in the court, the Wei State regrets humiliating our Qin State, and also regrets humiliating the Qi State. We, the Qin State, What should we do in the future? How can we avenge the shame of Shaoliang?"

Qianlong thought for a while and said:"Your Majesty, our Qin State is really tired now, because we lost nearly three soldiers in the battle of Shaoliang. With an army of 100,000, Qin will no longer be able to fight in the past ten years. The best thing now is to develop production with peace of mind."

Ying Qian said:"Xian brother, although we are unable to wage war against Wei, we can You can attack the State of Ju. The State of Ju is weak but the country is also rich. Isn't it good to seize the State of Ju and strengthen our State of Qin?" After hearing this, Ying Quliang felt that what Ying Qian said was very right and said:"Then follow what my brother said. , our Qin State will attack the State of Ju from now on, and after annexing the land of Ju, we will wait for our State of Qin to recover before attacking the State of Wei, so as to avenge our previous humiliation!" Then Ying Quliang said to Qianlong:"Sir, the country is at home. Your development depends on the help of doctors!"——Yes!

Wei Shen and others came to the slave market of Qin State and saw that there were so many slaves in the slave market of Qin State! Wei Shen walked up to a slave vendor and asked,"How much does a slave cost?"

Seeing that Wei Shen wanted to buy a slave, the vendor quickly complimented him and said,"A male slave costs three cloth coins, and a female slave costs three cloth coins. All you need for a little slave is a piece of linen!" After hearing this, Wei Shen felt that the price was not too expensive and said,"I bought all of you slaves!"

When the vendor heard that Wei Shen wanted to buy them all, he said,"Sir, If you want to buy them all, the price will be as high as one gold. You must know that I have more than 300 male slaves and more than 100 female slaves here. What are you doing to buy so many slaves?" Wei Shen deliberately said angrily:"I have money to buy so many slaves, what do you care about? Just sell them to me!""——good! good!
