Chapter 361: Tongue is like a lotus, the six countries decide (47)
The atmosphere of the Political Affairs Office suddenly condensed. The ice cup used to cool down, but at this time it made people feel cold all over.
Several envoys were about to speak, but Su Ji secretly stopped him. At this moment, he had adapted to the coldness of his body and was happy with it. Therefore, he replied with a more leisurely attitude.
Su Ji replied slowly: "The King of Chu is thinking a little bit. If that's true, Ji Heku brought four envoys to this experience. King Han, King Zhao, King Chu, and King Qi gathered their troops, and it was on the border of Chu."
The words said, but the King of Chu looked shaking. He immediately threw the unruly bones on his body out of the sky, no longer as arrogant as before.
The change in Chu's breath could not escape Su Ji's perception, and he thought to himself: I can finally communicate with people normally. This scorching weather is really uneasy.
There is also an advantage when the weather is hot, that is, both sides want to finish the matter early, and the patience is much worse than the Spring and Autumn seasons.
Su Ji saw the thoughts of King Chu, so he bluntly said that he would first explain the matter of the alliance between the four countries and first talked about the King Chu, and then asked: "What do you think the King of Chu thinks?"
Of course, King Chu Shu didn't care. A few years ago, the Qin State had fallen into nothing, and the six countries had never taken it down. Now, it was like the young Su Ji in front of him who came up with another alliance. Although it sounded good, he felt that it would be easier to win when he went to a blind date with Qin State.
But now these four countries are combined into one, and it is not easy to get along with each other. If he accidentally gets upset, he will send troops to attack before he even goes to Qin, and he may be unable to support him.
Therefore, King Chu did not refuse explicitly, and he dealt with him in a tactful manner in this hot and cold political hall outside.
Su Ji had previously secretly thought that if the Chu State had a time or a day that could be evenly matched with Qin State, it would be necessary to join forces with Chu, but now it seems that the King of Chu has secretly thought about it.
And he stood in opposition to the five countries, which was not something Su Ji wanted to see. Fortunately, he had already prepared before coming.
Su Ji, who had plans in his heart, seemed to be in a hurry. He even raised the wine and waved the King of Chu through several cases, and smiled three times on his face. As the saying goes, he doesn't hit anyone with a smile on his face.
The King of Chu was very comfortable when Su Ji's style was swung, and the boredom brought by midsummer also dissipated.
The two of them were so anxious that the envoys from the four countries were so anxious that they did not interrupt at Su Ji's instructions. The few of them had to drink the muffled wine with their heads and drink the muffled wine.
The incoming messenger was no longer anxious. The light in his eyes lit up. The wine was so delicious when he entered his throat. Could it be the Lanling wine that was famous recently in Chu?
But this harmonious picture suddenly came with bursts of crying.
Everyone looked in the sound and found Su Ji was crying.
The envoys instantly felt that the wine of Jueli was not very fragrant. Not to mention the King of Chu who was in charge of the head, the crying made him feel a little suffocated. Why did the person who was still smiling on his face suddenly start to cry?
The King of Chu asked, "Prime Minister Su Ji, why are you crying?"
Su Ji replied: "I am crying for the future of the Six Kingdoms. As long as I think of the same fate as Ji's hometown, Ji's heart will be very uncomfortable and can no longer bear it."
Su Ji's hometown was in Luoyang, and the documents he visited stated. Therefore, King Chu knew that his hometown was the capital of the ancient Zhou Kingdom. The ancient Zhou Kingdom had already destroyed the country, and the nine ancient tripods disappeared with it.
Now the six kingdoms and Qin still secretly sent people to Luoyang to find the ancient nine tripods. Those who get the nine tripods will win the world. Any country with some ambitions will inevitably obtain the ancient nine tripods.
The nine ancient tripods are one thing, and the ancient Zhou Kingdom is another. The long-destroying family and country are compared to the six kingdoms. How can it not be shocked to the King of Chu?
The King of Chu asked in surprise and suspicion: "Why did Prime Minister Su Ji say this?"
Su Ji's tears were still shed on his face, and he replied: "From the map alone, Chu land is more than 5,000 miles wide. Ji came with all the envoys this time and had a deep understanding of it."
That's right, there is not only no one else to refer to, and I almost got lost. But these words just turned around in their hearts and said to King Chu: "That's true, the state of Chu is so big that we can't finish it even in a few years."
King Hui of Chu had fled everywhere, so he didn't know much about Chu State, or 80% of them. Seeing that a few people did not speak out, he felt less embarrassed and more grateful.
Therefore, he asked very closely: "What does this have to do with what Prime Minister Su Ji said before?"
Su Ji continued: "The State of Chu is not only vast, but also numerous. But when the states heard that there were tens of thousands of soldiers, thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of war horses. Even if they did not work, the state of Chu's food was enough to be used by the State of Chu for more than ten years.
These supplies and soldiers are the solid backing for you to dominate the world by King Chu. However, I see that King Chu has not been very close to the six kingdoms recently, but he has the intention to be close to the tiger, leopard, jackal and wolf. In this way, who in the world still doesn’t obey Qin?”
The implication is that the King of Chu was unwilling to join the five countries, but was preparing to serve Qin. In this way, Qin became an unstoppable force.
Su Ji's words touched the hearts of King Chu. At this moment, the heavens and men in his heart were fighting, and his expression on his face was also unstable. If he rashly relate to Qin, what Su Ji said just now would probably become true, but in this way, the Chu State could no longer dominate.
But after a moment, the King of Chu who had made up his mind, asked, "Isn't it enough to compete with Qin?"
Su Ji stood up and waved to the King of Chu, bowed and said, "This is the reason why Ji had come to Chu. The King of Chu should know that the biggest worry of Qin was not the other countries, but the Chu State.
If the Chu State becomes stronger, Qin State will become weaker; if the Qin State becomes stronger and hot, Chu State will become weaker. Qin and Chu have a tendency to rise and fall one by one, so they cannot coexist.
The King of Chu is willing to form an alliance with the four countries. He Zong will be considered successful. In the future, the King of Chu will be able to be emperor. However, if He Zong fails, Qin will eventually succeed in becoming emperor."
The heart that King Chu waved was very hot in Su Ji. Even if there were ice cups and palace servants fanned, the slowly breeze could not destroy the flame in his heart.
The sparks were like a prairie fire. They instantly rushed to the top of the King of Chu's head.
