Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 To make a fortune, you have to rent out the prime minister
Back to reality, it took Zhang Beichen a while to adapt.
After a few months.
It has been almost three years since the Qin State Reform.
After three years of reforms, Qin State liberated a large amount of productive forces, almost got rid of famine, and its military strength also greatly increased.
At this time, the surrounding Rongdi tribes did not dare to invade.
Ying Yiren has already begun to fight the idea of Yiqu country.
But if you want to conquer the Yiqu country, you must have the surrounding countries such as Wei, Zhao, South Korea, and Yan not intervene. This is absolutely impossible.
Ying Yiren tentatively sent a message to Wei Yao: “King Wei, the Yiqu country seems to be not very peaceful recently? I heard that the tribute paid by the king of Yiqu to the Wei country this year has been reduced by half compared to previous years.”
Wei Yao saw what she was thinking at a glance, and said, “You want to attack Yiqu? Yiqu is now a vassal state of our Wei State!”
“Hehe, Yiqu Kingdom was a vassal state of Qin before. This king of Yiqu has a lot of ambitions, so be careful to bite you back someday!” Ying Yiren provoked.
“Wife Yiren, if you want to fight Yiqu, just say so, don’t beat around the bush like this!” Wei Yao found that teasing Ying Yiren is also a good pleasure.
Ying Yiren: “How many times have I told you, don’t call me wife!”
She knew that Wei Yao had learned these words from Zhang Beichen.
Wei Yao: “Okay, Yi Ren’s wife.”
Ying Yiren’s face was full of black lines. She was too lazy to continue arguing with Wei Yao on this issue, so she simply said: “Sooner or later, the widows of the Yiqu country will be wiped out. What do you think?”
Wei Yao said: “It’s very simple, the land of Yiqu will be divided in half by this king, and let Zhang Beichen come to Wei for a year.”
“Your request is too much, I can’t agree to it!” Ying Yiren said.
Wei Yao: “It doesn’t seem to be up to you. As long as the king doesn’t agree, how can the Qin State defeat the Yiqu State? Besides, can you suppress King Han, King Zhao, and King Yan?”
Ying Yiren knows very well that if she joins forces with Wei Yao to carve up Yiqu country, the other countries will not say anything, because Yiqu country was once a vassal state of Qin and Wei, and it is on the sidelines.
But if Qin Guo wants to fight on his own, several queens may not be able to resist coming up to share a piece of the pie, and the situation may get out of control by then.
Ying Yiren: “It’s okay to divide it in half, but it’s impossible for Zhang Beichen’s matter!”
How could she not know Wei Yao? If Zhang Beichen lived in Wei State for a year, Wei Yao could have a second child!
Wei Yao: “Then there’s nothing to talk about?”
Ying Yiren: “There is no discussion.”
The discussion ended without a problem, and both sides knew very well that this matter would have to be carried out sooner or later, just waiting for the two countries to be strong and strong.
…
“Look, the king of Qin is too stingy. I just want you to come here, but she still doesn’t agree.” Wei Yao sent Zhang Beichen a screenshot of the chat with Ying Yiren.
Zhang Beichen: “…”
He explained: “Qin is busy with affairs, and the minister can’t leave.”
Wei Yao: “Are you really unable to leave?”
Zhang Beichen: “Yes.”
Wei Yao: “What about this? (Picture: Swimsuit photo.
In the photo, Wei Yao is wearing a stylish swimsuit designed by herself, standing in her private bath, showing her plump figure at a glance.
Zhang Beichen: “Ahem, Your Majesty, am I that kind of person?”
Wei Yao: “I have designed several sets. What JK, white silk, and uniforms are you talking about? Do you want to see them?”
Zhang Beichen: “Hurry up!”
Wei Yao: “Hee hee, no!”
Zhang Beichen: “…”
…
Yan Guo.
After the simulation was over, Yan Qingwu carried out some reforms to Yan State, but the effect was not obvious yet.
The biggest problem is Mr. Na’an.
After the simulation, Yan Qingwu already knew how to deal with An Guojun, and the assassin she sent successfully sneaked into An Guojun’s mansion.
It’s just that the assassin’s ability is obviously not as good as that of Zhang Beichen, and he hasn’t succeeded yet.
“Could it be that this king wants to invite Zhang Beichen over like Wei Yao, Han Mengshu, and Zhao Yun?” As soon as this idea appeared, it took root in Yan Qingwu’s mind.
She didn’t have a good relationship with King Qin before, and now she is asked to beg Yiren, she feels that she can’t save face.
Yan Qingwu tossed and turned for several days, and finally opened the chat box, looking for Ying Yiren.
Yan Qingwu: “King Qin, I think there is something that I need to discuss with you.”
Ying Yiren came up and asked, “You want to rent Zhang Beichen?”
Yan Qingwu said in surprise: “How do you know?”
Ying Yiren: “Hehe, I have already thought about it a long time ago. When will you say this. I didn’t expect it, Yan Qingwu, didn’t you look down on Zhang Beichen before?”
Yan Qingwu was a little embarrassed, and said, “It was all a misunderstanding.”
Ying Yiren: “Okay, the widow knows. Tell me, your conditions.”
Yan Qingwu thought for a while, and said: “This king needs Zhang Beichen to settle some domestic affairs. After the matter is completed, this king is willing to return the three cities of Qin.”
Before, several countries invaded and occupied a lot of territory of Qin State, especially Wei State occupied the most, and Yan State occupied relatively less.
Ying Yiren is really helpless now, Zhang Beichen is so popular, every queen wants to abduct him.
I don’t have to agree, but the conditions they put forward are too tempting.
“One month, I only give you one month!” Ying Yiren said, “After one month, Zhang Beichen must return to Qin.”
Yan Qingwu immediately said: “Okay. This king keeps his promise!”
…
Ying Yiren called Zhang Beichen and explained his intention of sending him to Yan.
“Zhang Beichen, you’re worth three cities in a month. I’d rather rent you out, so that after a few years, the world will belong to my widows, and there will be no more wars!” Ying Yiren teased and said jealously .
“If your lord and the other queens agree, I’m willing to die for your lord’s great cause!” Zhang Beichen said.
“You have a good idea!” Ying Yiren snorted softly, “In short, I will return to China in a month. I will send someone to take over Chengchi and you!”
“I will definitely fulfill my mission!” Zhang Beichen said.
…
Before Zhang Beichen traveled, he contacted Yan Qingwu and asked her what she thought.
Yan Qingwu said: “This king has been preparing for an assassin in Mr. An’s mansion for a long time. It’s just that he has never been able to find the real Mr. An. He is more cunning than in the simulation. Even his substitute doesn’t know where he is. Ben The king needs you to lead the snake out of its hole!”
Zhang Beichen thought for a while, and said: “Mr. An is now recruiting troops and buying horses, and wants to become king on his own. What he needs most now is foreign aid and recognition!”
“I just need to contact him as the prime minister of Qin. He will naturally show up for such an important matter. King Yan will be able to order people to do it then!”
Yan Qingwu: “Okay, let’s do this!”
…
Before his trip, Zhang Beichen deliberately released the news that the King of Qin wanted to send himself to Yan, and hated the city occupied by Yan.
At the same time, Qin State also sent troops to exert pressure on the border.
Under this background, Zhang Beichen’s envoy attracted worldwide attention.
The Queen of the Seven Kingdoms naturally knows what’s going on after many simulations. But no one said anything.
This has become a tacit understanding between them. When dealing with domestic issues, no other queen will intervene. This also prevents others from influencing you when you do things yourself.
…
An Guojun’s residence.
An Guojun naturally also learned the news.
“The King of Qin wants to ask the King of Yan for the city?” An Guojun thought about it, and there were also retainers from the Qin State in his mansion.
He has also heard about the situation of the Qin State. He heard that the King of Qin appointed Zhang Beichen to reform the law, and the Qin State quickly became stronger. Now the surrounding countries dare not invade.
“Now my strength is still much worse than that of King Yan. The former minister of King Yan is still loyal to Yan Qingwu. Zhao Guo’s attitude towards me is also unclear. If I can get help from Qin State, it’s okay.”
For An Guojun, he doesn’t care about the few cities of Qin State before, as long as Qin State can support him, why not return them to Qin State?
He will get more!
Therefore, An Guojun immediately found the doormen and asked about countermeasures.
“Everyone, I heard that Zhang Beichen, the prime minister of Qin State, is going to send an envoy to Yan State to discuss with the king of Yan the city before Qin State. I want to get the support of Qin State, and discuss with Zhang Beichen. Who can do it?”
Immediately someone among the disciples said: “Master, I have a solution!”
“Say!” An Guojun looked at him.
Men Ke said: “We can pretend to be the envoys of King Yan to meet Qin Minister Zhang Beichen and bring him to Andi. Next, we only need to state our interests to him and promise to make great profits. He will naturally agree to form an alliance with the lord.”
An Guojun thought about it, and said: “It is possible. I just need to have people try my best to prevent King Yan from returning the city of Qin in the court, and then King Qin will definitely still favor me!”
“Okay, let’s do this!”
…
Zhang Beichen and the mission met the envoys received by Yan State at the border of Yan State, and took them to Jicheng.
Because of several simulations and “survival in the wilderness”, Zhang Beichen is very familiar with the map of Yan Kingdom.
He knew that these were not the envoys of King Yan, so he pretended not to know, and followed the greeters all the way to Andi.
At this time, the envoys of the Qin State who were traveling together realized something was wrong: “This does not seem to be Jicheng!”
Someone laughed and said, “Of course this is not Jicheng, but Ancheng. This is the fiefdom of Lord An!”
“What?” The envoys were shocked. They had also heard about the disagreement between An Guojun and King Yan.
“Prime Minister, let’s leave quickly. King Yan and Mr. An are at odds. If she finds out that we have come to Andi, she will return in vain to ask for the city!” Qin envoys didn’t know, so they hurriedly told Zhang Beichen said.
“Master Qin, don’t worry!” A voice came, and the envoy who greeted them said: “Mr. An has told us that he appreciates Prime Minister Qin very much and has always wanted to see Prime Minister Qin. It is our servant’s idea to make such a bad move. Please don’t worry about it, Prime Minister Qin.”
“Prime Minister Qin is here, let’s meet at the mansion. Don’t worry, we will never release the news that Qin’s envoy came to Andi!”
In fact, An Guojun planned to release the news as soon as Zhang Beichen left, so that King Yan would not like Zhang Beichen.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that Zhang Beichen had already “colluded” with King Yan and was planning to plot against him.
Zhang Beichen sized up the envoy in front of him. This envoy had a deep breath and a calm manner, and it was very likely that he was An Guojun himself.
But he was not sure, so he said: “You are right, we are here, so let’s meet up. I have heard about An Guojun’s reputation, so I just happened to visit once or twice.”
“Great, I’ll take you to the mansion right away!” An Guojun’s envoy took them to An Guojun’s mansion.
Just as Zhang Beichen arrived at the door, he saw a man in Chinese clothes running out barefoot.
He said ecstatically: “Master Qin is here? I am looking forward to it!”
Another servant ran over with his shoes and said, “Master, you haven’t put on your shoes yet!”
An Guojun smiled awkwardly, and said: “Oh, I was too happy to hear the news of Qin Xiang’s arrival. I lost my etiquette for a while. Please don’t care about Qin Xiang.”
“I’ve heard that An Guojun is a gentleman of the Yan Kingdom. I saw him today, and it’s true!” Zhang Beichen made false claims with him.
He knew very well in his heart that the acting guy in front of him must be a counterfeit.
“President Qin, come in quickly. Today I am going to host a banquet, so go and prepare it!” An Guojun grabbed Zhang Beichen’s arm, looking familiar.
Zhang Beichen lived in An Guojun’s mansion for a few days, they talked day and night, An Guojun was extremely enthusiastic and generous.
At this time, Zhang Beichen was basically sure that the real An Guojun was the emissary who greeted him earlier. Because every important occasion, he is there!
Today, after drinking.
Zhang Beichen deliberately said: “I have been bothering you in the mansion for several days, and I have a mission on my body, so I can’t stay any longer. Tomorrow, I will leave and go to Jicheng. I am grateful for your hospitality these few days. In the future If An Guojun has the opportunity to go to King Qin, Zhang will definitely treat him with courtesy!”
An Guojun saw him say this, he suddenly sighed, and said: “I also want to go to Qin, but why… hey!”
“Is there anything bothering you?” Zhang Beichen asked deliberately.
An Guojun hesitated for a moment, but still told the situation: “Brother Zhang, you should also know about my affairs. I don’t agree with the current King Yan. King Yan is a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh. He always wants to get rid of me!”
“I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to go to Qin again, but I will die here!”
Zhang Beichen frowned and said, “Is King Yan so cruel?”
An Guojun began to complain, and Zhang Beichen also said sympathetically: “Your heart is for the country of Yan, and the king of Yan still treats you like this, it is really chilling!”
An Guojun took the opportunity to say: “Brother Zhang, you and I met once, would you like to save me?”
Zhang Beichen asked: “How to save each other?”
An Guojun took the opportunity and said: “Brother Zhang, please persuade the King of Qin to help me. If I attack the city, I am not only willing to return all the cities of Qin, but also three more cities as a gift!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Beichen said, “If this is the case, I think King Qin will be happy to see it happen!”
“Then it’s a deal!” An Guojun was overjoyed, the two wrote blank checks to each other, and then got drunk.
After drinking, Zhang Beichen returned to the room to rest drunk.
As soon as he closed the door, there was a flash of a knife, and someone tried to kill him.
“Ah!” Zhang Beichen screamed in the room, and then shouted: “There are assassins, come here, save me!”
“There are assassins!” The guards outside heard and rushed over.
“What? Zhang Beichen was assassinated?” An Guojun was anxious when he heard the news, “It must be someone from King Yan. They are afraid that I will form an alliance with Qin and assassinate Zhang Beichen. No, Zhang Beichen must be protected!”
