The King of Fortune

Chapter 240 Playing a Play
As soon as he returned to Daying, Han Rong learned that there was an envoy from Xiqi, and he had been waiting for half a day. He pondered for a while, and then asked Han Sheng to invite the envoy into his tent.

"My minister, San Yisheng, has seen the national teacher."

San Yisheng greeted Han Rong, waited for a long time, and finally saw Han Rong, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.Han Sheng saw that the two had something important to discuss, so he voluntarily withdrew from the tent.

Han Rong took a look at San Yisheng. He had a quick glance at the palace before, and he had some impressions of this man, so he said, "It turns out that he is Ji Fa's capable minister. He sent you to see this commander, but he figured it out."

Ji Fa is not a puppet at the mercy of others. From the fact that he secretly surrendered to the court without telling Jiang Ziya, it is not difficult to see that he is very assertive, but because of Jiang Ziya's identity, he is more docile.

Guang Chengzi and Master Du'er died on the battlefield one after another, how could Ji Fa not be afraid, once he was afraid, he would consider the court's request.

Han Rong is certainly interested in Xiqi City, but he hopes to see the relationship between Chanjiao and Xiqi disintegrated, although he knows that this situation is unlikely to happen.

San Yisheng said: "The national teacher must have misunderstood. My king sent me here, and I am willing to settle the suspicion with the imperial court, and we will be good together. I hope that the national teacher will withdraw the army for the sake of the people. It is also a blessing in the world."

Han Rong said, "As long as Ji Fa is willing to hand over Xiqi City, everything is negotiable. If he refuses to hand over, the soldiers will attack and everything will be destroyed."

San Yisheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "National teacher, don't worry, my king has agreed to the court's request and is willing to hand over Xiqi City."

After finishing speaking, he took out Ji Fa's rewritten begging letter, Han Rong took it over, read it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's so good, when will you hand it over to the city?"

San Yisheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "After three days, hand over to the city on time."

Han Rong's attitude is so tough. It seems that Jiang Ziya is right. He is bound to win the city of Xiqi. If the king's original intention is followed, it is very likely that he will be angered and bring disaster to Xiqi.
Han Rong glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Jiang Ziya, he also agreed to hand over Xiqi City."

Xiqi City is the foundation of Ji Zhou. If Jiang Ziya wants to behead a general and become a god, he has to rely on the power of the Ji family. It makes no sense to agree to this request.

San Yisheng said: "Jiang Ziya has made contributions to Xiqi, but he is just a courtier. The most important thing for a courtier is to keep his own place. The national teacher is a smart person, so there is no need for a courtier to say more."

"It's a good time to keep yourself safe. Three days later, the commander-in-chief will take someone to take over Xiqi City."

"That's it, the task of the next official is completed, and I will leave."

Watching San Yisheng leave, Han Rong's brows were tightly frowned. He did not believe that Yuanshi Tianzun would make Ji Fa lose Xiqi City and affect Jiang Ziya's plan to attack Zhou in the east.But Ji Fa even sent the begging letter, and made an agreement with himself to hand over the city in three days. No kidding, he would definitely not play with himself.

So here comes the question, how Ji Fa persuaded Jiang Ziya and reached an agreement with Chanjiao, Han Rong really couldn't figure it out.

……

Just as San Yisheng went to the palace to report to Ji Fa, the servant said that Jiang Ziya asked to see him, and Ji Fa's impression of him improved, so he was invited in.

"The old minister has seen the king."

Jiang Ziya bowed and saluted.

Ji Fa said: "Father Xiang, you came just in time. The doctor just came back from seeing Han Rong, and three days later, he handed over to Xiqi City. The relocation of the people is a huge project, involving complicated tasks, and the father and the doctor need to be responsible together. It is."

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xiqi City alone, and the people are the foundation of the country, so Ji Fa will naturally not give it to Han Rong, so in the next three days, everyone will be moved out of Xiqi City, not even a single animal will be left behind. To Han Rong.

Jiang Ziya said, "Forgive me for not agreeing, the old minister came this time to bid farewell to the king, please allow the old minister to resign and go back to seclusion."

San Yisheng looked confused, it was hard to believe that Jiang Ziya said this.Ji Fa was dumbfounded, and lost his voice: "Father Xiang, what are you talking about? You are still in good health. Why do you want to resign and go back to seclusion?"

Jiang Ziya said sincerely: "When the old king was dying, he asked the old minister to assist the king and govern Xiqi. Now a few years have passed, and instead of expanding an inch of land, Xiqi will lose the city of Xiqi. The old minister is ashamed and shameless. This prime minister."

Ji Fa persuaded: "You can't blame Xiangfu for this. Yin Shang Qi is not exhausted, so the success fell short."

"Although the energy of the Yin and Shang Dynasties has not been exhausted, it is because of the inability of the old minister that he was repeatedly defeated by Han Rong. The old minister has made up his mind to go, and I hope the king will make it happen."

Jiang Ziya's expression of determination made Ji Fa's face darken, and he said in a deep voice, "Father Xiang, you are so lonely in your heart that you handed over Xiqi City."

In this year, Jiang Ziya lost troops and generals in the battlefield one after another. Ji Fa blamed Jiang Ziya in his heart, but he never thought of abolishing his prime minister.Now that Jiang Ziya took the initiative to mention it, Ji Fa felt very uncomfortable.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly said: "The king is the king, and the old minister is the minister. How dare you question the decision of the king. Besides, the king's move is for the sake of the overall situation. Although the old minister is old, he understands the painstaking efforts of the king."

Ji Fa glanced at him, and said earnestly: "Since it is as scriptures, Xiangfu should stay. Without Xiqi City, we in Xiqi suffered heavy losses. Those Rongdi are a pack of vicious wolves, and they will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to take revenge. An orphan needs a father to help him."

Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, even if there are no veterans around, relying on the Dafu and Zhou Gongdan is enough to help your Majesty stabilize the situation."

San Yisheng who was on the side persuaded: "Prime Minister Jiang, you have been favored by the late king and the great king. At this moment, how can you stand still and disregard Xiqi's safety."

Jiang Ziya suddenly knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, it is the old minister who is sorry for you and betrayed your trust in the old minister. Only in the next life can I repay your kindness."

There was no way, in order to convince Han Rong that this bitter scene had to go on, and for this reason, Jiang Ziya went all out.

Ji Fa was expressionless, and stared at Jiang Ziya for a long while, before saying: "Since Xiangfu has decided to go, then I won't keep Gu, go to the doctor, and you will send Xiangfu off for Gu."

After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the side hall. He no longer wanted to see Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya's expression moved, and he sighed, how much he wanted to tell Ji Fa that his real intention was to hold back after all.Ran Deng said that the less people know about this plan, the better.

San Yisheng said: "Prime Minister Jiang, you have gone too far this time, the officials don't know what to say about you."

Jiang Ziya said: "Doctor, please persuade the king. The old minister is not here. In the future, the military affairs of Xiqi will depend on the doctor to advise the king."

San Yisheng nodded, and said: "Prime Minister Jiang, don't worry, this is a matter for a subordinate official. It's just that you have a place to go after resigning from office."

Jiang Ziya was startled for a moment, and then he said that he wanted to go back to the Weishui River for fishing. San Yisheng didn't speak, and walked out of the hall with Jiang Ziya, but both of them walked with heavy footsteps.
