Chapter 75
"Mr. Wang, what wind blows you, a distinguished guest?" Hou Sheng said in surprise when he saw Wang Ao's face, saying, "Mr. Wang, you are really. If you want to come to Linzi, you won't tell me. I'll go to Changting to greet you."
Hou Sheng was white and fat, and he had a graceful and luxurious aura on his body. He was not tall and was quite big. If he didn't know his background, he would definitely regard him as a rich local rich man. He would not have thought that he was the prime minister of Qi and the uncle of the King of Qi.
Friends who are familiar with history know that Hou Sheng was a famous treacherous minister in the late Qi State. The reason why he was able to become the prime minister was not because he had extraordinary talents, but because he was the uncle of King Jian of Qi and the younger brother of the queen of the female hero.
There are two most famous women in the history of Qi. One is the legendary ugly woman, Zhonglichun, Wuyan, who was extremely ugly, was able to become a queen and manage the harem in a submissive way. It was extremely rare and made a wonderful fate.
Another famous woman is the mother of King Jian of Qi. Le Yi attacked Qi, and Qi was destroyed. The prince fled to the queen and became a servant.
By chance, the eldest lady at that time and later the queen saw Fazhang, she was very surprised by his appearance. She was very surprised that a strange person actually came to be a servant. Something was definitely wrong, so she summoned Fazhang to ask questions.
Fazhang dared not tell the truth. He lied a lot. The queen knew that he had a difficult time, so she didn't ask questions. She just sent someone to give him delicious food and drinks, and treated him with special preferential treatment. After a long time, the two developed feelings for each other, and had a private lifelong relationship, and they got married before they got married.
After Tian Dan restored the country, Fazhang ascended the throne, and the queen naturally became the queen. The queen was very brave and politically capable. The dilapidated Qi State was able to recover, which made Qin State afraid. She made great contributions.
At that time, the Prime Minister of Qin, Fan Sui, wanted to test her, and sent someone to send Yu Lianhuan to solve the problem. The queen ordered someone to smash Yu Lianhuan in front of Qin's envoy and told Qin's envoy that you should go back and tell the King of Qin that I have already solved the problem.
After learning about it, Fan Sui lamented that there were people in Qi State and should not be neglected. He further strengthened his strategy of getting along with far and near.
King Jian of Qi had no political talent, and everything was ruled by the king and queen. It was okay for the queen to be there, but the problem arose. King Jian of Qi lost his backbone and handed over the state affairs to Queen because of the relationship between the king and queen.
Housheng was an extremely greedy person, and the King of Qin sent someone to bribe him. When he heard the arrival of the popular king Ao in the eyes of the King of Qin, he would not be surprised.
Wang Ao smiled slightly and replied, "The Prime Minister is troubled by state affairs, Wang Ao dares not disturb the Prime Minister."
"Come on, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly." Hou Sheng held Wang Ao's hand, pressed Wang Ao on Jindun, and said, "Sir, you miss me so much." After looking at it for a while, he said, "I haven't seen you for many days.
Mr. Wang is even more energetic, I am happy for you."
Wang Ao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern." After finishing the polite words, he went straight to the point and said, "Wang Ao is here to come to give gifts to the Prime Minister at the order of my king." He took out the gift list from his arms and handed it to Housheng, and said, "Please check it out."
Hou Sheng glanced at the gift list quickly. His eyes were smiling with only a small gap and kept saying, "The king is very kind, and the foreign ministers are grateful. How can I receive such a heavy gift?"
He felt one hundred and twenty satisfied and wanted to accept it, but he just said some polite words. Wang Ao was as clear as a mirror and said, "The Prime Minister did his best to do his best for me, Daqin. The King was very satisfied. He often said that it would be great if everyone was like the Prime Minister."
This is a lie. The King of Qin would not praise Hou Sheng as a villain. Wang Ao was a lobbyist and just said casually, but Hou Sheng was so happy that he almost jumped up. If he was a rooster, he would definitely jump onto the beam and cried, saying, "Thank you, Wang."
Wang Ao changed his mind and said, "However, the king said, just don't know how loyal the Prime Minister is to the Qin Dynasty now."
Hou Sheng suddenly fell from extreme excitement to the abyss, and he was filled with joy and said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, you know that I am loyal to Daqin, and I can express the light of heaven."
Wang Ao said lightly: "Is that so? The king asked me to ask you, Qi State sent troops to help Zhao, is there any such thing?"
Hou Sheng's face turned pale and he said, "Mr. Wang, this is the case, but I told the king that Qin State only destroys Zhao, and it is not related to our Qi State's territory, so there is no need to send troops.
But Gongsun Bian was unchanging, and he was so frank that he was so frank that he was talking about the court officials, saying that Zhao was a lips and Qi was a tooth, and that Zhao would destroy Qi, and that if Zhao did not help Zhao now, it would be too late for Qi to regret it.
"I didn't believe it at first, but if you think about it carefully, what they said makes sense. It is obvious that Qin destroyed Zhao, how could he not deal with our Qi?
Mr. Wang, you are a wise man. Do you think this is the case? I dare not accept this gift. Please give back to the king. The foreign minister thanked the king.
It can be seen that he was indeed in a dilemma. Wang Ao smiled and said, "It's okay to accept the Prime Minister. The king sent me to Qi for this matter. Wang Ao came here to stop Qi from sending troops, but in fact he saved the Prime Minister."
This sentence is a bit mysterious, Hou Sheng couldn't figure it out and asked, "Mr. Wang, how do you say this?"
Wang Ao stood up and walked: "This is an obvious thing. Tell me, even if Qi sends troops, can it stop Qin from destroying Zhao?"
The result was clear, and Hou Sheng replied without thinking, "No.
Now Zhao State has no more than half of its territory and is no match for the Qin Dynasty at all. Even if Qi State sends troops, it is impossible to defeat the Qin Dynasty. At most, Zhao State will last for a while.
Wang Ao pointed at Hou Sheng and asked: "The Prime Minister understands the ending, why do you still bring disaster to yourself?"
Hou Sheng looked puzzled and said, "Mr. Wang, I don't quite understand what you said."
Wang Ao pointed out Mijin and said, "The State of Qi sent troops at this time and only brought blame to the Qin Dynasty. Qi and Qin had been in trouble for decades, which was a matter that the King of Qin did not want to see.
You know the custom of the Qin Dynasty. If anyone provoked the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty would not let it go. Wang Ao boldly speculated that if Qi sent troops to help Zhao, then the next target of Qin would definitely be Qi. Prime Minister, do you think Qi can withstand the power of Qin?
"No! The demise of Qi is just around the corner.
By then, for Qi, the Prime Minister was the prime minister who destroyed the country, and was criticized by treacherous officials of the country, and thousands of people were criticized by them. The Prime Minister had many enemies in the country. If they took advantage of the situation, what would happen? For the Qin Dynasty, you took the money from the Qin Dynasty but did not do good things for the Qin Dynasty. You turned from a meritorious official to a sinner. Will the King of Qin not kill you? It’s a pity that a great meritorious official.
"A sigh, regretful, and the performance was performed for Hou Sheng to watch.
No need to think that the Qi State would definitely have the consequences of this when it sends troops. Hou Sheng was so scared that his legs trembled, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Why am I so useless? I haven't seen through this layer. Mr. Wang, wait, I will go to see the king now and ask the king not to send troops.
The army had not set off yet, and it was still too late to go now, and it would be too late to go later. "I turned around and ran away.
