Chapter 875: What's Wrong with Worrying About the Future? Have You Forgotten the Great Wish of the Previous Kings of Qi to Unify the World?

Two days later.

Mao Sui pinched his thigh hard to regain consciousness from his tired and lazy mind, and then he bowed his hands and shouted loudly: "Mao Sui, Prime Minister, please see the King of Qi!"

From the Wu Palace, King Jian of Qi's voice sounded much louder and more cheerful than before: "Pass!"

Under the guidance of the guards, Mao Sui stepped into the palace gate, his eyes slightly stunned.

Mao Sui had met Qi Wang Jian. The impression Qi Wang Jian left on Mao Sui was that he was elegant, conservative, gentle and cowardly.

But when we meet again today, although the man sitting on the high platform is still Qi Wangjian, there is no doubt that there is a sharp edge in his eyes, and there is still a bit of youthfulness and heroic appearance around him!

What a hell!

And when his eyes turned to the audience, Mao Sui felt a little relieved again in his eyes.

I saw Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi, still standing with his hands down on the lower right side of the high platform. Sun Ping, the internal historian, Chunyu Hu, the external historian, Hou Xun, the grand master, and others stood in sequence at the starting position of Hou Sheng.

At the bottom left of the high platform, Tian He, the left prime minister, is in the first place. Tian Yu, the doctor of Jimodu, and Kuang Yong, the doctor of Judu, stand beside Tian He.

Tian He's return to court and the appearance of Tian Yu, Kuang Yong and others are enough to show that Qi Wangjian's desperate counterattack was not a cry without an answer, but actually changed the court structure of Qi!

Mao Sui glanced vaguely and quickly at the important ministers of Qi who had visited in the past few days, and Mao Sui bowed his hands and said, "The foreign minister, Prime Minister Bangsui, pays homage to the King of Qi!"

King Jian of Qi smiled warmly and said with his right hand: "Prime Minister Mao, there is no need to be polite."

"Come here, give me a seat!"

Mao Sui bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, King Qi!"

After Mao Sui was the first to take his seat under the high platform, King Jianfang of Qi continued to ask: "Mao Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of the country, but this time he came to Linzi in person."

"I wonder what's important?"

Mao Sui immediately stood up and spoke in a deep voice: "I would like to inform the King of Qi that the foreign minister came to Qi this time because he had a question in his heart. I hope the King of Qi can clear up the foreign minister's doubts."

King Jian of Qi laughed out loud: "Mr. Pingyuan once praised Prime Minister Mao for being smarter than a million soldiers. How can there be any incomprehensible confusion for Prime Minister Mao in this world?"

"Prime Minister Mao can speak frankly, but I will think deeply about it."

Mao Sui asked in a solemn voice: "Now the Qin State is surrounded by enemies, so it is an alliance with the Qi State."

"If Qin is destroyed and Yan is destroyed in the future, how will Qin treat Qi?"

With one word, the smile on Qi Wangjian's face disappeared, and even the ministers in the palace looked at each other in confusion.

How can you tell scary stories in broad daylight?

Hou Sheng stepped out of the queue, smiled and shook his head and said: "Qin is certainly strong, but Dai and Yan are equally strong in military and horse strength."

"Although the Qin State actually destroyed other countries, all the wars in recent years were not initiated by the Qin State."

"The State of Qin is putting more energy into increasing the grain yield per acre, developing things that benefit the people, and making the people of the world full. On the contrary, the countries in the world are not allowing the State of Qin to rest and recuperate!"

"It can be seen that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Dynasty are righteous people who love peace and implement benevolent government!"

"As long as Dai and Yan do not take the initiative to provoke Qin, how can Qin raise troops to destroy Dai and Yan again?"

"What Prime Minister Mao said is really unfounded!"

Kuang Yong heard this and nodded in agreement.

Lord Chang'an is indeed not someone who likes to destroy a country.

After Lord Chang'an accidentally destroyed the Chu Kingdom, I watched with my own eyes as Lord Chang'an visited the people of Chu from door to door and asked the people of Chu to elect a new King of Chu to help the Chu Kingdom recover!

Tian Yu, Tian He and other court officials heard this and their mouths twitched crazily.

Prime Minister, do you call a country that destroyed four countries in just a few years a peace-loving country?

Even Mao Sui, who said that a three-inch house can be worth a million soldiers, was speechless for a few breaths, and then he ridiculed: "It is unfounded to worry about the sky, what is wrong?"

“In the seventh year of Duke Zhuang of Lu (687 BC), meteorites fell like rain on Qi!

"Overnight, the country of Qi was shattered, houses disintegrated, temples collapsed, and all lives were lost!"

"It is unfounded to worry about the sky, but it is because the sky has collapsed!"

"The foreign minister's question today is indeed a groundless question, but it is also because Qin is by no means a peace-loving and benevolent country like the later prime minister said."

Mao Sui turned to Qi Wangjian and said in an extremely serious voice: "Qin already has the power to unify the world, and it has the intention to unify the world even earlier!"

"If we sit back and ignore it, we will be like Qi in the past, destroyed by the collapse of the sky and unable to fight back!"

The Lyrid meteor shower in 687 BC, following the invasion of Qi State by Huaiyi and Song Dynasty, the Qi State earthquake and other natural and man-made disasters, gave Qi State a blow in the head!

Until more than two thousand years later, people can still find dozens of giant meteorites weighing hundreds of tons and a large number of small meteorites in the hometown of Qi State, and they can vaguely see how tragic the impact of meteorites on Qi State in the past.

Taking advantage of Hou Sheng's question, Mao Sui compared the meteorite rain that Qi State faced in the past with the Qin State's military front that Qi State faces today, trying to make Qi Wangjian understand how critical the current situation is.

But before Qi Wangjian could speak, Hou Sheng nodded slightly: "The truth about the collapse of Qi Kingdom's sky is naturally not unknown, and there is no need for Prime Minister Mao to explain it."

Hou Sheng looked at Mao Sui, and his voice became more sarcastic: "In the past, people worried about the sky in vain, what does it have to do with the sky?"

"Even if you worry day and night, you can't stop the falling star at all!"

"Today Prime Minister Mao is worried about Qin. What does it have to do with Qin?"

"Even though Prime Minister Mao is worried day and night, he can't stop the Qin army at all!"

As the Prime Minister of Qi State, it is impossible for Hou Sheng not to have read "Zuo Zhuan", and naturally it is impossible not to know the truth of unfounded worries.

It is true that unfounded worries are tragic stories with good reasons, but are they useful after the unfounded worries?

Today's Mao Sui is just like the people of Qi in the past. No matter how much he worries, it is meaningless!

Mao Sui said in a deep voice: "The words of the prime minister are too much to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, and it can be said to be flattering to Qin!"

"The Qin army is indeed strong, and Qin has the power to unify."

"However, there are still three countries in the world today: Dai, Qi, and Yan."

"As long as the three countries join forces, they will be able to destroy Qin's ambition to unify and give Dai, Qi, and Yan the opportunity to revive!"

Mao Sui looked at King Jian of Qi and asked a deafening question: "It is useless for people in Qi to worry about the sky."

"But how can his Qin country be worthy of claiming to be the sky!!!"

A gleam of light clearly appeared in King Jian of Qi's eyes.

Tian He even clapped his hands and praised: "Great!"

"What Mao Xiang said is very good!"

"Qin is strong, how can it be worthy of heaven!"

Hou Sheng glanced at Tian He coldly and asked in a deep voice: "Can Dai resist the Qin army?"

Mao Sui said firmly: "Foreign ministers dare not speak nonsense."

"Dai alone is indeed incapable of resisting Qin!"

"But if the power of Dai, Qi and Yan is combined, our three countries will surely resist Qin and even defeat Qin!"

Hou Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Since Dai is so confident, it can join forces with Yan to resist Qin together."

"Why do you need to persuade Qi to join forces with Dai and Yan?"

"My great Qi is an ally of Qin. How can we break the alliance for the enemy of our ally!"

Mao Sui felt bitter.

Just drag Yan to attack Qin together?

It would be better for Dai to attack Qin by itself!

Mao Sui looked at King Jian of Qi and said, "I think that although Dai and Yan have been through war for a long time, they are far inferior to Qi in terms of weapons and military strength!"

"I beg Qi to join forces with Dai and Yan for the sake of Qi's country."

"Jointly attack Qin!"

Hou Sheng shouted coldly, "Ridiculous!"

"I have an answer to what Prime Minister Mao asked before."

Hou Sheng also bowed to King Jian of Qi and said, "If Qin destroys Dai and Yan in the future, Qin may not allow our Great Qi to continue to be a kingdom with Qin."

"Yes!"

"Our Great Qi has been on good terms with Qin for many years, and many princes have served in Qin."

"I advise you!"

"If Qin really destroys Dai and Yan, I ask the king to use Qi's country as a gift and ask Qin to allow our Great Qi to be a vassal of Qin!"

Hou Sheng looked at Mao Sui again and said coldly, "But if our Great Qi really dies with Dai and Yan, Yan allied forces, jointly attack Qin. "

"Then the friendship between our Great Qi and Qin will be lost in one day!"

"Our Great Qi will have to face the desperate situation of extinction like Dai and Yan!"

"Therefore, I advise the king to think twice!"

"Hou Xun immediately stepped out and bowed his hands and said: "I think what the prime minister said is very true!"

"If Qin really destroys Dai and Yan, then Qin will have the power of the former Zhou Dynasty."

"Our Great Qi can be a vassal of Zhou, and it can also be a vassal of Qin."

"In order to protect the country, I advise the king to hold back at this critical moment!"

Sun Ping then bowed his hands and said: "Qin was once a vassal of Shang, and then a vassal of Zhou, but now it has regained what Zhou lost!"

"I think that our Great Qi's transformation from a vassal of Zhou to a vassal of Qin is not a compromise, but can also plan for future great undertakings!"

It doesn't matter who you are a vassal to, right?

If the Qin State could really completely replace the Zhou Dynasty, what would be the difference between being a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty and being a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty?

After being incorporated into the Qin State and becoming a new vassal state of the Qin State while trying to preserve the national strength, perhaps the Qi State eight hundred years later could also overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty like the Qin State and establish their own Great Qi Dynasty!

Most of the Qi State's court officials came out one after another, bowing and admonishing around this idea, and for a while, they actually created a great momentum!

But Hou Sheng's heart did not relax at all, but looked to the left side of the high platform with increasing vigilance.

There, except for Tian Yu who could not help but cheer, none of the other important officials spoke up to agree or refute!

It can be seen from this that Mao Sui's offensive is not over yet!

On the high platform, Qi Wangjian was originally quite dissatisfied with capitulationism, and he was extremely disgusted with Hou Sheng who had hollowed out the court.

Therefore, when faced with such a large number of ministers admonishing him, King Jian of Qi's first reaction was not to go with the flow, but to ask in a cold voice: "My dear ministers, do you want to force the emperor to abdicate?"

This sentence put a pause on the entire Wu Palace!

Hou Xun, Sun Ping and other Qi ministers hurriedly bowed: "We have no such intention!"

King Jian of Qi's voice turned deep: "What should my great Qi do? I will make the decision!"

"My dear ministers, there is no need to persuade me!"

Hou Sheng's heart sank, and Hou Xun, Sun Ping and others' brains worked rapidly.

Mao Sui's mouth corners were slightly raised.

Thanks to Hou Sheng, he cooperated with him to guide King Jian of Qi's disgust for capitulationism to the peak!

Without waiting any longer, Mao Sui bowed and asked directly: "May I ask the King of Qi, I have another question, I wonder if the King of Qi can help me solve it?"

Years of cultivation allowed King Jian of Qi to force a smile even when he was angry and said: "Prime Minister Mao, you can speak frankly!"

Mao Sui stood up straight, looked straight at King Jian of Qi, and shouted loudly: "King of Qi!"

"Have you forgotten the great wish of the previous kings of Qi to unify the world!!!"
