Zhang Lu said: "Why submit to Wei?"

Huang Xie said: "Why do we need to wear Wei clothes? We can only let the princes know about it!"

Zhang Lu thought for a while and said: "Teach me!"

After Zhang Lu was granted the title of Marquis of Ying, he should build a residence in Xianyang City. The construction of this residence has already begun, and the site chosen is on the former Hu Yang's residence.

After Hu Yang's death, his salary and salary were cut off. His wife and children could not bear the living expenses in Xianyang City, so they dismissed their young concubines and moved to live in Hu Yang's farm. He hired his son-in-law to cultivate the farm. Fortunately, Hu Yang's farm was

Most of the fields were mature, and there were people cultivating them. The rent was paid every year, and life could go on. Zhang Lu, who had been named Prime Minister of Qin and should be a Marquis, saw that Hu Yang's family was living in difficulty, so he asked the King of Qin to spend part of the money to build a mansion for himself.

Come, make compensation for Mrs. Hu Yang, buy the mansion down, and expand it into your own mansion. Now that the mansion is being expanded, Zhang Lu still lives in Zheng Anping's mansion in the abandoned hill outside the city.

Unlike Zhang Lu, who is not in charge of the industry, Zheng Anping is more concerned about making his own fortune. Now his mansion has been expanded according to the standards of the public officials, and the land has been allocated according to the standards of the public officials. The relatives he recruited are farming on the land. His pseudonym is unknown.

Mang Wei and Chen Si have already separated and are living alone. They both want to live in mature fields. They only eat taxes, do not participate in labor, and do not have their own business. Compared with Zheng Anping, their style is much worse! But after marrying a wife, it is also

I hired slaves from the government and lived a good life.

Zhang Lu came out from the Prince of Chu's place and drove back to Zheng Anping's home with Zheng Anping. On the way, Zhang Lu told Zheng Anping his thoughts. After arriving home, he asked Chen Si and Mang Wei to come over and discuss the matter in detail.

After a while, everyone split up and got ready.

After the court dismissed on the second day, Zheng Anping took Zhang Lu home and arranged the arrangements together with Chen Si and Mang Wei. Zhang Lu changed back into the silk robe that Xu Jia had given him yesterday, re-tied his hair crown, and

I drove back to Xianyang. When I arrived at the post house where Xu Jia lived, I asked the post official to see Doctor Xu Jia. The post official did not recognize him as the Prime Minister, but only knew that he was an old friend of Doctor Xu Jia who had visited yesterday. He informed Doctor Xu Jia

Dr. Jia was asked to come out to welcome him. Zhang Lu said: "I report that the master has been able to communicate with the Prime Minister. Now I have prepared chariots and horses to welcome you!"

Xu Jia complained: "Uncle Fan, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm so rude today, why did I get into the prime minister's house!"

Zhang Lu said: "It's not necessary. The doctor can just go there."

Although Xu Jia was shocked, he did not dare to say anything. He only explained a few words to his entourage, and then got into the carriage with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu drove straight to Zheng Anping's mansion in Xiqiu. The carriage left the city and walked along the

The highway goes west. During the years when Zhang Lu went to Hedong to build roads, the Qin State also built roads in the Guanzhong area under the auspices of Internal History. The roads from Xianyang to various counties were the focus. Xu Jia stood on the car.

, not feeling much bumps, he complimented Zhang Lu: "Qin Dao is easy, which is why it is strong."

Zhang Lu said: "Qin's road is easy, so it is easy to manage it. What the doctor has seen is true! I also know that Wei's road is dangerous, so it is better not to control it."

Xu Jia knew that Zhang Lu was using the topic to vent his dissatisfaction, so he did not dare to say anything more, so he could only remain silent. He changed the subject and said: "The wilderness of Qin is neat and orderly, not as messy as the wilderness of Wei."

Zhang Lu still made use of the topic and replied: "The preface of Qin Ye lies in the straightness of governance. The way of Zhou is as straight as a whetstone, and it is as straight as an arrow. The way of Qin is also the same."

The two started a verbal exchange in the car. Xu Jia found that every time he praised Qin in the hope of making the atmosphere more friendly, Zhang Lu would turn it into a disparagement of Wei; and he It was difficult to refute, so I had no choice but to keep quiet, and my mood became increasingly heavy.

The carriage drove for a while, and a tall house appeared in front of it, which looked so outstanding among the fields and farms. Zhang Lu pointed out: "That is the residence of the Prime Minister."

When the carriage arrived in front of the mansion, it did not stop. Instead, it drove directly into the side door and stopped in front of a stable. The two got out of the car, and Zhang Lu said: "Doctor, please wait a moment. I will enter the palace first for the doctor." He went through the side door. Gone.

Xu Jia stayed next to the smelly stables, holding the cart and waiting respectfully. He reminded himself secretly that he must not show any impatience. But he stood until noon and no one paid attention to him. The four horses were also a little impatient. .The servants in the stable came and went, but no one looked at Xujia or spoke to him.

Xu Jia felt that this might be Zhang Lu's punishment for him. If he didn't find a way to get out of his trap, it was possible that he would be stuck here all day! He gritted his teeth, his heart pounded, and he called out to a passing minister. The servant asked: "Uncle Fan doesn't come out, why?"

The servant asked: "Who is Uncle Fan?"

Xu Jia said: "The one who asked me to take me in."

The servant said: "That's Prime Minister Zhang."

Xu Jia pretended to be shocked and said hurriedly: "I would like to see him and guide him."

The servant said: "The doctor was appointed by Prime Minister Zhang. If you wish to see me, you can come in on your own. There is no need to guide you."

Xu Jia said: "No. I don't dare to treat sinners lightly. I would like to treat sinners from my own family." As he said this, he took off his shirt, leaving his spine bare. He also took off his crown and clothes and let his hair spread. When the servant saw this, he had to run to find another person and whispered a few words. The person came over and said, "Why are you here, doctor?"

Jia Fu bowed down in the tunnel and said, "If you dare to ask me to be the prime minister, I will be the one to apologize to you and punish my sins at the door!"

After a while, Mang Lai came to the courtyard and said: "Prime Minister Zhang has invited you, sir, please come to the court!"

Xu Jia took a look and saw that there was nothing he didn't recognize. Isn't this Mang Wei, the third son of the Mangmao family? His eyes immediately went dark and he knew that the pool of water was unfathomable. He tried his best to stay calm and pretended to be confused. He looked like he didn't recognize him and didn't stand up. He put his hands on his knees and lowered his head and crawled from the west courtyard to the front hall. Mang Wei reported to the superior: "The Wei envoy needs to see Dr. Jia!"

Xu Jia didn't wait for Zhang Lu to speak, and Fubai paused and said: "I am guilty of a crime of death and cannot be punished! I didn't expect you to be able to put yourself on the blue clouds. I am guilty of soup and wok. Please stay in the land of raccoon dogs. I will only live or die for you." !”

Zhang Lu did not let Xu Jia go to the hall, but walked out of the hall, came to the steps, and asked: "How many sins have you committed?"

Xu Jia said: "The minister's hair is not as numerous as his sins!"

Zhang Ludao: "You have three sins. The tomb of Sui's ancestor is in Wei, and the Duke thought that Sui had an external attachment to Qi, and hated Sui for Wei Qi. This is one of the sins. Wei Qi humiliated me in the toilet, and the Duke did not stop. It is a crime." The second thing is: He got even drunker and drowned me, how could he endure it? There are three crimes. Having these three crimes, eating his meat is not enough to eliminate the hatred, but he got the deceased and gave him a silk robe, and he still saw his old friend. Love." Xu Jia paused.

Zhang Lu said: "I know your intention as an envoy. If you return well and treat him well, I will report it to the king. Sooner or later, he will surely teach you!" After saying this, he did not let Xu Jia get up, but turned around and went back to the back house.

Xu Jiayu paused and nodded. Mang Wei, who was standing next to him, said: "Doctor, please get up. Zhang Xiang is far away!"

When Xu Jia heard this, he stood up and said, "Does the doctor know me?"

Xu Jia sneered in his heart, I recognized you at the first sight! But he still pretended to be confused, turned around to take a look, and said in shock: "You are not Mang's family..." Mang Wei interrupted him and said

: "I have no name, I met at the gate of the Duke Zheng Anping, and I am assisting Prime Minister Zhang."

Xu Jia suddenly said: "Thanks to the doctor! Mr. Zheng is in Anping, and he is also old. I would like to meet you!"

Mang Wei said: "Doctor Zheng sees that Prime Minister Zhang is in charge of the military affairs, so it is inconvenient to meet him."

Xu Jia looked very regretful and said: "Young Master Wei Xinling heard that Mr. Zheng Qingyun is a master of Taoism, but Uncle Fan also..."

Mang Wei interrupted: "Xiang Zhang, you are not Uncle Fan!"

Xu Jia bowed repeatedly and said: "Death penalty!"

Mangwei led Xu Jia out and pointed to the main road in front of him: "Sir, if you follow this road for ten miles, you will reach Xianyang."

Xu Jia thanked him repeatedly. Mang Wei helped Xu Jia put on his clothes, pulled up his hair a little, put on his crown, and felt that the festival amulet was still there. Then he said goodbye to Mang Wei and walked back to the post. Along the way, Xu Jia continued to express his gratitude.

Call it a fluke, thanks to my quick wit, I was able to avert danger in such a critical situation! Although after all these twists and turns, fortunately, the mission was basically completed. The mission was actually finalized with Zhang Lu two days ago, and the two countries re-established their alliance.

, Wei did not suffer any major losses. This made Xu Jia very satisfied: Although he suffered some personal humiliation, firstly, there was no danger, and secondly, the mission was completed.

The next day, a traveler finally appeared in the post and read out the edict of the King of Qin: "Although Qin and Wei made small mistakes, they did not hide their great virtues. The alliance between Wang and Shen has made us feel sorry for each other!" Xu Jia bowed and thanked him again. The traveler said: "

Three days later, we will have a banquet with the envoys from the princes. I hope the envoys from Wei will come!" Xu Jia was overjoyed and responded one after another.

The scene that day was very grand. Since the Prime Minister's Mansion had not yet been completed, the banquet was held in a side hall of Xianyang Palace. The banquet was hosted by the Shaofu and prepared according to the specifications of the Seven Tripods. The Yuefu band, singing and dancing, continued. Countries in Qin Dynasty

Envoys include, in addition to the princes and disciples of Chu, envoys from Qi, and merchants from other vassal states in the name of envoys.

As soon as Xujia entered the temple, he received special treatment. He was not invited into the temple by passers-by, but was carried into the temple by two criminals! These two criminals had obvious features, with words burned on their faces, and they were tall and strong.

Xu Jia was held up with his toes on the ground. Xu Jia protested loudly and declared that he was an envoy of Wei State. The two prisoners directly clamped his neck, making him breathless and almost suffocated to death. His mind was close to blank.

At this time, he let go again, allowing him to breathe again. This time, Xu Jia was honest and considered himself unlucky, otherwise he believed that the two men might really strangle him to death. For a time, he completely lost confidence in himself: King Qin

Didn't the alliance be allowed? Didn't Qin Prime Minister Zhang Lu lose his temper and nothing happened? In an instant, Xu Jia no longer dared to believe his own judgment. Is Qin going to go back on his word? Or...

Two criminals with marks on their faces carried Xu Jia to the steps of the palace, where there was even a table. The criminals threw Xu Jia onto the table and stood next to Xu Jia with a fierce look. Xu Jia did not dare to resist.

, endured the pain and sat on the banquet. Envoys and merchants from various countries came in one after another, and all the passers-by were led to their respective tables. Just as he was naturally in the hall, the merchants also set up a banquet on the steps, and there was only Xu Jia at the bottom of the steps.
Chapter completed!
