Chapter 151: Stalemate with Ying Xi (2)

  However, Song Chu didn't quite understand what kind of mood Jing Ke was in when he assassinated Qin Shi Huang. If it were true that he hated Qin Shi Huang to the bone, why would he have spared his life? But if he didn't hate him, then why would he have pursued him personally and not even given him a chance to survive?

  It's hard to guess what you're thinking, but for the first time, Song Chuyi felt this way about Ying Zou.

  News from Bashu won't arrive for the time being, but Ying Ji also handed over the affairs of Sanjin to Song Chuyi, so she was still busy and couldn't open her interlocking doors. Messages from all sides came one after another, and she spent three or four hours every day just analyzing these messages.

  She finally chose a light and subtle method - spreading the news that Zhao used tricks to alienate Han and Wei.

  The diplomatic relations between Zhao and Wei have long been far from what they used to be, with small-scale wars breaking out every now and then over the past decade or so, with Wei always ending up on the losing side. Now that Zhao is weakened by internal strife, all it takes is a sufficiently plausible pretext for the King of Wei to seize this golden opportunity. As for whether the reason is genuine or not, no one will care about its authenticity.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a light and easy reason was given. Although it seems like a small matter, it took Song Chu Yi a lot of effort to clear Qin Guo's name.

  Wars between countries are naturally not easy to launch, but although both business and politics emphasize the word "profit", in this era of survival of the fittest, politics is much more cruel.

  Wei and Zhao may have had a poor relationship, but they were allies for many years. However, now that things have changed, even if the ruler and ministers of Wei can see through the cracks, they immediately turned against each other.

  Less than half a month after Song Zhongyi's news had spread, the Wei State's great army had already arrived at the border of Zhao.

  After receiving the news, Qin Guo began to secretly prepare for war under the command of Ya-Wen.

  Jing Jian spent two periods of time searching for Zhang Yi and finally got news - Zhang Yi left after staying in Qin State for three months. He entered Qi half a month ago and was appreciated by the King of Qi.

  It was the same in the previous life, and Song Chu was not surprised at all by this result. On the other hand, Ying Zuo was somewhat unexpected. In those years, King Qi was over 20 years old and could keep up with those old and cunning monarchs without falling behind. It can be imagined that his means were not weak. Moreover, he reused Sun Bin, who was abandoned by King Wei, and dared to entrust him with all his trust. This kind of courage and self-confidence is really hard for ordinary people to achieve. Therefore, at the beginning, Ying Zuo didn't take it seriously when he heard about Zhang Yi from Song Chu's mouth. But he knew well about King Qi's ability to identify and use talents, so he also paid attention to Zhang Yi.

  Inside Xianyang Palace.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, for the fifth time, he sought an audience with Emperor Wu Zong. However, he was stopped outside the palace and Wu Shan said in a low voice, "Please return, Mr. Shi under the pillar, the emperor is not available at the moment."

  "Trouble you to report again, this matter is a top priority for the Qin state, other things can be put aside." Song Chu said.

  Wu Shan shrunk his neck and shook his head resolutely, "No. Don't make it difficult for me, sir."

  At first, Wu Shan had a good impression of Song Chuyi. So he helped out the first two times and reported back, but as a result, his days were spent in misery, and he didn't dare to offend him again.

  Wu Shan entered the palace. The scorching sun beat down, and Song Chuoyi stood for a while before she was drenched in sweat. She looked up at the dazzling sun, gritted her teeth, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty! I have an urgent matter of utmost importance to report, concerning the foundation of Great Qin, it cannot be delayed, Your Majesty!"

  He started a lengthy and eloquent lecture outside, with every sentence hitting the sore spot.

  The Imperial Palace.

  Wu Shan stood beside the hall, looking at the young man in black robes on one side and listening to Song Chuyi's advice outside, unknowingly sweating on both temples, but seeing that the cold and stern profile still had a focused expression, he slightly let out a breath.

  "Shut him up and bring him in." A cold voice echoed through the empty hall.

  "Yes." Wu Shan immediately jogged out of the hall.

  In an instant, Wu Shan led Song Chuyi into the palace.

  "Sit." Wu Xi faintly spat out a word, continuing to lower his head and read the memorial. Song Chu Yi found a position, kneeling and sitting on a nearby couch, looking at him.

  Time ticks away bit by bit, one is engrossed in reading a simple melody, another stares at the handsome man with eyes fixed on him.

  Wu Shan stood beside Ying Yu's side, secretly wiping his sweat: Five days in a row! When can he finally say something serious?! Wu Shan looked at Song Chu, who was doing nothing, and thought to himself, The emperor is at least reviewing the memorials, but this historian can sit idly by like this, really has an extraordinary temperament!

  This is Wu Shan's more tactful idea, if it were directly said, it would be: Song Chu Er's face is so thick that even the whole Da Qin might not find a second one! Others don't even bother to pay attention to her, yet she can still sit here so calmly!

  At the beginning of the first day, Song Chuyi had already said everything about her interests and relationships. On the second day, she repeated it again. However, Emperor Xianzong only focused on reviewing memorials with his head down and ignored her. These two days made Song Chuyi feel that there was no point in saying more, so she began to focus on admiring the handsome man, waiting for him to be free to continue advising him.

  "Your Majesty." Song Chu immediately seized the opportunity to speak as soon as he saw Emperor Yingzong finish reading the memorial.

  Rubbed his temples and responded faintly.

  "We can't delay!" Song Chu said succinctly.

  He frowned and stared at her for a long time before saying, "You can go."

  Song didn't know why Ying suddenly changed his mind, anyway it was impossible for her to be moved by him. Whatever the reason, as long as she could achieve her goal, she didn't think much about it and simply responded with a "yes".

  "This is a national book, for use in case of emergency." Yíng Zhōu handed over a volume of silk books on the case to Wǔ Shān.

  Wu Shan held up the national letter and handed it over to Song Chu with both hands.

  "Thank you, sir!" Song Chu was overjoyed and took the silk letter, then stood up to bid farewell and returned to prepare for his immediate departure to Bashu.

  She thought that Bashu was the foundation for achieving hegemony, and if she could take it down, the day when Qin would plot against the Central Plains would not be far away. This is the original intention of Song Chu's "Extinction Theory", so she is particularly concerned about this matter, and even the wars on the sides of Wei and Zhao are not very important to her.

  Because he believed that Emperor Taizong of Song was a ruler who could distinguish right from wrong, therefore, on the first day of the new year, he came to offer his advice every day after the morning court session.

  Wiped out. The leave application didn't get sent out after all. I have no face to show my fellow villagers now. In the past few days, there were too many things on my mind and my body couldn't hold up, it collapsed. All sorts of illnesses, tumors, repeated colds, cervical spondylosis... Recently, I've been recuperating and can't often go online, but I guarantee that I absolutely won't flood or abandon the story, thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through thick and thin.

  The plan is to finish writing by the end of December, but the story has just begun, and I have to write a lot of words every day... pressure...

  Additionally, remind those who stay in front of the computer all the time to pay attention to rest and exercise, don't be like a disposable tissue. Life only happens once, health is the most important thing.
