Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 40 How to "Bribe"

Linzi is the base camp of the Momen, so it has a wide network of news and contacts.Ziying ordered Tianji Pavilion to sort out the movements of Zhao Guo's envoys, and then took Xia Ke back to the guest house.

Mo Sect's efficiency is not covered, the latest news of Zhao Guo's envoys has been summarized on Ziying's desktop in the evening.

When the king and queen of Qi State were alive, under their influence, although they treated Qin State more respectfully, they were neither humble nor overbearing, and there were grounds for advancing and retreating.The relationship with the rest of the princes is sincere, and the relationship is relatively harmonious. It can be said that when the queen was alive, Qi belonged to the kind of countries that did not offend both sides and were good at dancing.

However, after the death of the queen, the king of Qi favored the prime minister and the queen won.The king of Qin adopted the advice of Li Siweiliao and others, took advantage of Housheng's weakness of being greedy for money and good goods, sent Yao Jia to bribe Housheng with a lot of money, and slowly won the younger generation to Qin's side.

And Qi Wang Jianben is a person who has no opinion, and it can be said that he has abnormal trust in Hou Sheng.

Under Hou Sheng's slander, Qi Wangjian gave up the policy of uniting with the six countries to fight against Qin, and completely fell to Qin.Sit back and watch the other five countries be wiped out one by one without giving a helping hand.Even a few years ago, Qi Wangjian even went to Xianyang in person to meet Qin Wang Yingzheng.

At this point in the war, Qi State can be said to be the only major country among the countries that has not been affected by the great war and its national strength has been relatively intact. If Qi State rescues Zhao State and even takes the lead in joining forces, then no matter how brave the Qin army is It is difficult to rule the world even if it is good at war.

According to the information provided by Momen, Zhao Guo has noticed the key figure Hou Sheng.This time, he not only brought ten cities, which was an irresistible temptation for the court of Qi State, but also bribed Hou Sheng himself with a thousand gold, a box of treasures, and ten beautiful girls. .

Qin's intelligence department should also have detected Zhao Chaotang's movements. Not long after Zhao's envoy set off, they sent Shangqing Yao Jiadong out of Xianyang. Just yesterday, Yao Jia and his party followed Zhao's footsteps and secretly entered Linzi City.

And he lives in the Dongsheng guest house not far from where Ziying lives.

"Yao Jia's purpose must be the same as mine when he comes here, so he can help." Ziying thought deeply.

"Jiang Ge, a group of more than a dozen people stayed in the Dongsheng Inn yesterday. You go over there and invite a man named Yao Jia, and say that the descendants of Lord Chang'an are invited." Ziying ordered.

"promise!"

According to historical records, Yao Jia should be extremely trusted by Qin Wang and Zhao Zheng, and he entrusted tens of thousands of gold to lobby ministers from various countries, which achieved remarkable results in breaking the trend of alliance.It is reasonable to know the reason for the past events in Tunliu.

Then when you hear your message, you should come to meet.

Sure enough, Xia Ke had just finished serving Ziying for dinner when there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, Mr. Yao is here!"

"Come in, Xia Ke pours a glass of water for Mr. Yao," Ziying ordered.

After Yao Jia came in, he took a fixed look at Ziying, then saluted with both hands, and said, "Yao Jia, I have met His Highness Rao Yangjun!"

"Are you so sure that I am Lord Raoyang?" Ziying asked with a smile.

"Mr. Raoyang has lived in Zhao State for a long time. When he was an envoy to Zhao State in the first year, he once watched him from afar. For the sake of safety, he did not dare to recognize him. Although the time has passed, the appearance of your son has not changed much.

Kuang, although Lord Raoyang has gained a reputation in recent years and has the reputation of a "virtuous monarch", but I can't think of any benefit in falsely using the name of Lord Raoyang.

Everyone in the world knows that Lord Chang'an rebelled against Qin before, but he didn't know what to do.If the son is not Lord Raoyang himself, how dare he contact the next minister of Qin. Yao Jia returned. "When the king heard of Chang'an's death, he was deeply saddened.However, the young master is still in the state of Zhao and dare not speak out.Although the king has not seen the young master, he must check the information of the young master immediately. "

"After the death of my father, Ziying also missed my uncle very much, and wished to see him immediately!" Although Ziying basically didn't feel much about this uncle who hadn't met a few times, he still replied affectionately. After all, Yao Jia is the king of Qin. His confidants, his every word and deed may be reported to Xianyang.

"May I ask Mr. Rao Yang why he has been recruited so far?" Yao Jia asked after some sighs.

"They are all my own people, and I don't gossip too much. I heard that Zhao Guo wanted to exchange ten cities in exchange for Qi to send troops, so he rushed to Laizi. Presumably you came here for this matter. I don't know how Mr. Yao will break it? "Ziying asked immediately.

Ziying was no one else, and Yao Jia immediately replied: "My lord, I don't know that Qi Zhixiang is very greedy in the future, and the king of Qi believed in him, and there were many bribes before. But this time Zhao Guo bribed him with thousands of gold and treasures." Box, Maggie ten people.

I never thought that when Zhao Guo survived and died, he would win after being bribed so much.I came here in a hurry, with only two thousand gold, and nothing else.It is only roughly equal to that of Zhao Guo.

Yu prepared to quietly send him to Housheng's residence tomorrow night. "

"Since the gold you're carrying is equivalent to the gold and jade that Zhao Guo sent, are you sure you can convince him to win?" Ziying immediately heard the loopholes in Yao Jia's plan and asked.

"Jun Rao Yang, I am not sure that I will win after convincing, but I have to try."

Ziying pondered for a while and asked, "Is there an enemy who will win later in the court of Qi State?"

"Yes, Anping Lord Tian Zhen is the younger brother of the current king of Qi. Hou Shengsu is at odds with him, but his status is respected, so there is nothing Hou Sheng can do." After speaking, Yao Jia guessed Ziying's thoughts and then explained: "Mr. Rao Yang doesn't know, Although Lord Anping has a high status, King Jian of Qi trusts the latter, even if he bribes Lord Anping with all the gold, if Housheng disagrees, he still cannot change King Qi's opinion."

"Mr. Yao, if you want to change the method, send someone to give all the gold to Mr. Anping in the name of Zhao Guo, and then let Housheng know about it. So what? At least in terms of gold alone. "Ziying said lightly.

After hearing Ziying's words, Yao Jia became visibly excited: "If Hou Sheng thinks that Zhao Guo only gave him one thousand gold and Tian Zhen two thousand gold, because of his character, he will definitely hold a grudge against him. That's it. First, Mr. Anping proposed to assist Zhao Housheng, and he will definitely refute it!"
