Chapter 10 The Queen Mother

Huang Xie asked to see Wei Ran while waiting for the summons of the King of Qin, but Wei Ran quickly made an appointment with Huang Xie. As soon as the two met, they were verbally quarreled. Both said that the other country was treacherous and should bear the responsibility of fighting between the two countries.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Wei Ran pointed to the tripod in front of him and said, "Young master, noble man, bells and food for the tripod. Qin is also remote, tiles and millet are tiles, don't blame me!"

Huang Xie said: "Chu and Qin are both barbarians. They dare not admire Zhou Li. The meat given by Marquis Rang is delicious, and I have never seen it."

Wei Ran said: "When I lived in Chu, I often ate fish and rice, thinking that the food in the world is all fish soup and rice. As for Qin, I knew millet and sheep."

Gongzi Fu said: "As soon as the fish soup is frozen, its shape is like glue, and its taste is still beautiful. If the yam soup is cool, its shape is like glue, and its taste is removed and it will harm people's stomach and intestines."

Huang Xie said, "I taught you my elder brother." He scooped a spoonful of mutton soup himself, savored it carefully, and said, "The fruit is getting colder, and the delicious food is gone!"

Wei Ran said again: "Qin land is half the world, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Four blocks are solid. Hu Ben is a million people, and millet is like hills. After the laws are clear, the soldiers are not happy to die. The lord is strict and clear, and it is about to know how to use martial arts. Those who are in the world will die first. Although I am the prime minister of Qin, the people of Chu do not want Chu to die first. Chu once had a difficult situation with Qin and fought in Hanzhong. The people of Chu were unable to win, and more than 70 people died, so they destroyed Hanzhong. Chu and Qin fought in Lantian, but they also refused. This is the so-called fight between two tigers. Qin and Chu are injuring each other. Han and Wei have completely controlled their descendants, and there is no danger to this. Now Qin and Chu are in the border area and are in a close country. I ask the prince of Chu to enter Qin and ask the daughter of Qin to be the concubine of the king Jizhun, and to be the country of Kun's brother, and will not attack for life."

Huang Xie said: "Chu, there are Qianzhong in the west, Wu County in the east, Xiazhou in the east, Dongting in the south, Cangwu in the north, Xingsai in the north, Xunyang in the north, with a land of more than 5,000 miles, with a million armors and a millet branch for ten years. It is not possible to go down in a short time. No one in the world is stronger than Qin and Chu. Qin and Chu fight, just like two tigers fighting each other, and the wild dogs suffer their disadvantages. It is not done by the wise. The poem says, "Everyone has a beginning, and there is a end." This is a saying that the beginning is easy and the end is difficult. In the past, Zhi's trust in Han and Wei, so he attacked Zhao and attacked Jinyang City, which was better than that. Han, Wei rebelled and killed Zhiboyao under the chiseling platform. If Qin was jealous of Chu's failure and forgot Han, Wei, I am afraid that the disaster of Zhi's family will be seen again."

Wei Ran glanced at the two young masters and said again: "Now Qin and Chu are connected to the border, and they must not rely on Han, but Wei."

Huang Xie said: "If Qin did not borrow a road to Han, Wei would definitely attack Sui Shui's rightland. These are all Guangchuan, large rivers, mountains, forests, valleys, and places that are not eaten. This is because Qin had the name of destroying Chu but had no land. The poem says, "Dawu is far away and does not touch the house." From this point of view, Chu State is a supporter; neighboring countries are enemies. I hope that Marquis Rang will observe it carefully."

The young master said, "There are so many things that Chu has destroyed the country and destroyed the family. Now he is in a panic in Chenxu and is waiting to die. What's the point!"

Huang Xie said: "Chu destroyed the country and destroyed the family, and it was broken several times. Although it lost Yingdu, it gathered more than 100,000 remaining troops, but it still occupied the pass and guarded it, but Qin could not pass. The land of the three Chus is as wide as five thousand miles and armoured by millions. Once it was gathered, it was not a problem to hold on for many years. In the year of Qin and Chu, Wei came out to attack Chu, so Song must be exhausted; Qi people attacked Chu in the south, and Si must be promoted. I am afraid that the situation in the world will change. I am worried that the situation in the world will change.

Nothing is better than being good at Chu. Qin is the dangerous mountain in the east and the profit of Quhe, Han must be the marquis of the Guan. If he is garrisoned with 100,000 troops, the Liang family is disappointed, Xu, Yanling Yingcheng, and Shangcai, Zhaoling did not come and go, so Wei is also the marquis of Guan Nei. The lord of 20,000 cheng in the Guan is pouring land in Qi, and Qi can be taken with his hands. Once Qin passes through two seas, he offers the world, and threatens Yan, Zhao, and directly shake Qi, Chu, and these four countries will be convinced without waiting for pain."

After hearing Huang Xie's discussion, Wei Ran exchanged glances with the second young master. Wei Ran asked him to go to hot food again, and the followers at the stairs also brought out one. Everyone no longer talked about military and national affairs, but just persuaded them to eat and leave with all their fill.

Huang Xie returned to the hall, shut down the idle people, and left only the Mang family and asked about their views on the talks. Mr. Che You said, "I think the meaning of Marquis Rang is not to stumble the prince, but to mention the key to the king."

Huang Xie said: "What the sir said is deeply touched by me. I hope that sir can say it in detail."

Mr. Che You said: "Qin, Chu is injustice, and Han and Wei are in charge of their descendants. This is what Qin is deeply concerned about. If Chu ordered the prince to enter the throne, Qin would be willing to be harmonious. However, there were quite a few people from Qin who wanted to fight and leave Ying and Nanyang."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "I look at his words and are also the same as Mr. Che."

Huang Xie said: "If only the prince is in charge, his affairs will be harmonious! Qin did not use the road to Han, Wei, and Chu troops were enough to take charge of it, and it was not difficult."

Mr. Che You said, "It is not true. The young master should ask what Qin cannot attack. What the young master said, "Qin has the name of destroying Chu but not gaining the land." It is really the right thing to show it."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "As for the 'one year of Qin and Chu, I am afraid that the world will change', it is not so-called, so I can simply summarize it."

Several people discussed overnight and determined various details and techniques of the negotiation. The more they discussed, the more they felt that the summoned Marquis of Rang this time seemed to be conveying some kind of news and guiding them to talk to the King of Qin in a targeted manner.

Two days later, the minister came to convey the king's order and met the Chu envoy tomorrow morning, and the location was in Zhangtai Palace.

Huang Xie checked the goods he brought. In the past few days, except for the ones that were damaged on the way, and used them in the past few days, and gave them to Marquis Rang and the two young masters. There was still a little left. They brought them all, and the books were written into gift lists, and they hid them in their sleeves. That night, they demonstrated the whole process with everyone to ensure that there was no error. Then they discussed various details with the two gentlemen. After a while, the chicken cried.

Huang got up, and under the service of his retainers, he reorganized his crown and belt, put on his court clothes, his jade pendant, his long sword was inserted diagonally, and his long beard was flowing. Although he was over 40 years old, he also had handsome eyebrows and bright eyes and looked at him.

He refused to eat before the court meeting, and only drank some water. He took ten people to walk to Zhangtai Palace. He found the servant who contacted him in front of the palace. The servant guided him to the front of the prince, and stated that he would be guided by the prince. Huang Xie and the prince, who met in Wangyi Palace. This time, the servant was not very intimate in this reunion, and Huang Xie was just polite.

When the court rises, the monarch and ministers enter the court and are arranged on both sides. Prince Xu took Huang Xie and stood at the head of the class. The head of the top was Gongzi Fu. The opposite was Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran. There was a person in his lower head, but Huang Xie didn't recognize him. Huang Xie glanced with his eyes and did not find Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.

There is nothing special about regular affairs. The young master quickly reported: "The young master of Chu was ordered by the king and asked for peace and discussion!"

Huang Xie went out of the line, bowed respectfully, and said in a clear voice: "My ancestors worked together in the past, and the two countries were one, and they were married and joined by Qi. He said: Ye Wan's descendants should not be unfavorable. To this day, 18 generations! My king inherited the legacy of his ancestors, sent his ministers to Qin to reunite with marriage. I would like to express his sincerity with the dependents of the feathered, rhinoceros pearls and tortoiseshells to express his sincerity!" He presented the gift list with both hands. Wei Ran came forward to take it, recruited a servant, and handed it to him. The servant took it and went down quickly.

Wei Ran said: "In the past, Qin and Chu worked together to work together, and the two countries were one, saying: Ye Wanshen, do not be unfavorable for each other. However, Chu repeatedly defeated the alliance, and some launched troops to attack them, or protons returned, and the same came."

Huang Xie said: "The alliance between Qin and Chu has lasted for 18 generations. However, the regrets of Qin and Chu are only two generations. The twists and turns are hard to describe. I only wish to inherit the remaining thoughts of the ancestors, abandon all their regrets and rebuild them so that their descendants will not attack each other for generations."

At this time, the King of Qin in front of the screen said: "Qin and Chu have been married, and Kun's country. Even if there are any regrets, I am willing to release it. I am willing to discuss it with the minister. The Empress Dowager, so the people of Chu heard that Chu had sent an envoy, so I wanted to meet him."

With this sentence, Wei Ran announced the scattered dynasty. All the ministers came out. Only the four bans and the King of Qin remained.

Seeing the ministers disperse, the King of Qin walked off his seat and bowed to Huang Xie and said, "Let's go to see the Empress Dowager with me."

Huang Xie did not expect that he would be treated like this, so he quickly bowed to the ground. The King of Qin asked the servant to take the original gift car that Huang Xie gave to Ganlu Palace, allowing the empress dowager to pick it up. Then he took the five people, without taking the bus, and walked to Ganlu Palace.

They arrived in front of Ganlu Palace, and the car arrived. Wei Ran and others hurriedly ordered the minister in Ganlu Palace to carry the things down and send them to the courtyard.

The King of Qin waited for the ministers to withdraw, entered the back door, and asked loudly: "Woman, are you? The envoy of Chu asked for a meeting!"

Then I heard the door open, and a group of footsteps went straight from the back door to the main hall.

After the footsteps were calm, the King of Qin appeared in front of the steps and bowed, "Please come in and see me."

Wei Ran signaled Huang Xie to go to the hall from the west stairs and to the east stairs with the rest of the people.

Huang Xie came into the door and bowed to the ground, saying, "I am the one of Chu, Huang Xie, I will pay homage to the Queen Mother!"

Huang Xie was surprised by the Queen Mother’s question: “Can Chu Envoy Chu Yin?”

Huang Xie hurriedly changed to Chu Yin and repeated: "I am the one of Chu, Huang Xie, I will pay homage to the Queen Mother!"

When the Empress Dowager heard Chu Yin, she seemed very excited and said, "Serious, good, good! The envoy Chu asked to sit in front of him."

Huang Xie thanked him again and stepped forward to sit down at the western mat. The King of Qin had not sat in and bowed to report: "The Chu envoy received several Chu instruments as rituals, so I would like to serve you!"

The Empress Dowager said: "I entered Qin and did not see Chu things for twenty years. Later Qin entered Wan Deng and then entered Yingdu, and then got a little. However, the Qin people were unable to see Chu weapons."

The King of Qin turned around and said, "And enter the Chu weapon."

The queen mother suddenly shouted: "Wei Ran, Mi Rong and Ru are old, don't be with the queen, and come to the hall to sit down!"

Only then did Huang Xie realize that the person behind Wei Ran was the Huayang Lord Mi Rong. Mi Rong was younger than Wei Ran, but she looked much older. Huang Xie naturally did his homework before entering Qin and knew that Wei Ran and Mi Rong were both the younger brothers of the queen mother, and the age difference was not much. But seeing that the queen mother was old, Wei Ran was in great martial arts and in his prime. Although Mi Rong looked old, she was not like the queen mother, and she had to walk with a cane.
