"Sister..." At this time, Ji Yun didn't know what he should say, so he had to stand beside Ji Cai and accompany her, pulling her arm, and calling her from time to time to show that he had been by her side. But Ji Cai hadn't asked her sister for a long time for help, just squatting in the corner of the wall sobbing, wiping tears, and muttering something in her mouth. Perhaps, letting such a girl who is just in her prime suddenly penetrate her unbearable future is a cruel and irreversible thing.

When she thought that she was about to stay away from this home that she had lived for eighteen years and went to a small country she had never been to as a wife for the old man, she felt hopeless, as if her life as "Ji Cai" was about to end. This little girl could not think of how she would live in a foreign country. The huge uncertainty of the future surrounded her like a shadow. Being at the center of the storm, it was related to her second half of her life, Ji Cai herself had no right to make decisions on the whole matter. No wonder she was so sad.

The powerless sobs lingered on the beams of the house, and in the back garden, peach blossoms fell with the wind.

Ji Yun saw it and shook his head in vain, thinking: If he was his sister, that would be fine. For some reason, Ji Bian's two daughters seemed to have their minds turned upside down. Her sister Ji Cai likes to make trouble and ignorant like a child. Although her sister Ji Yun looks young, she has more things to consider than anyone else.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ji Yun was the eldest princess, she would be sad for a few minutes when she received the news that she wanted to marry her far away to Yan State, and then she would immediately devote her energy to future preparations, and even time to cushion her emotions. She is one of the very few people who apply the "game theory" worldview, that is, she can regard everything in life as a tool that can help her achieve her goal. Not to mention Yan State, as long as she thinks it is beneficial to revitalize the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be fine to let her marry into Qin State or Wei State...

Unfortunately, God seemed to have made arrangements long ago. She was born a few years later than Ji Cai, so she could only watch from the side and couldn't help.

I can't do anything about my destiny, so I can only wait with the flow. This feeling is really heartbreaking...

———

King Xian of Zhou did not let them stand in the court anymore, but led the two envoys to a hall that looked like they were specially prepared for such negotiations. Although the marriage partner had already been decided, no matter how they said that they had proposed to the marriage, they still had to entertain them.

Chen Zhen was not surprised to see Qin envoy Cheng Liji here, but just smiled coldly at him without even calling. Qin and Wei are two great powers with a horn-shaped force. Since it is a strategy that Wei can come up with, Qin has no reason to think of it. In other words... The princess of Zhou is a part of the competition between the two countries. Whoever wins Ji Cai is equivalent to taking the lead in this competition. This kind of transaction is good for both parties - they have gained the reputation of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou has obtained the funds and political prestige they injected, and perhaps they can survive for a while.

The envoys on both sides are undoubtedly smart people, otherwise they would not stand here on behalf of their respective countries. As mortal enemies, they have almost figured out the other party's weight clearly, and they even know each other better than their relatives and friends. As for the others in this conversation... King Xian of Zhou was just a decoration from the beginning, and failed to be as good as the two: a bare commander who had nothing but reputation, was like a paper tiger, and could only scare those who had no knowledge or were stupid enough.

people.

The only variable... is the Ping'an Hou, the Yin clan who stood beside King Xian of Zhou.

Both of them had a brief contact with the Yin clan, so they first dig out the problem of the color of his eyes (in the Warring States Period, many strange people emerged, and the red eyes of the Yin clan were not "special" outstanding physical characteristics, but the common people with little knowledge could not understand it). This guy gave people a strange feeling. Facing the two giants of Qin and Wei, he still looked like he didn't care about anything, his face was cold, and he could not impress him with money, power, and beauty. It seemed like... it was like... it was like he was not a human at all, and the currency and national situation of human beings had nothing to do with him. The reason why he stood here was just because he thought, not for some dirty or noble purpose.

Let’s talk a little more, whoever gets the recognition of the Yin clan first will win.

"Yin Shangqing, I have a word." After understanding the relationship between China, Celiji simply stopped talking to King Xian of Zhou and spoke directly to the Yin clan, "I believe you have heard of it too... Just a few years ago, Wei Jing (the name of King Hui of Wei, the second word pronounced ying                                                                                                                                                                                                                          �

The Yin clan glanced at Doctor Celi, then turned his gaze to the distance without saying a word.

"Haha, Doctor Celi... It would be boring to say this." Chen Zhen was also a good fighter with others. He smiled slightly and said, "If it weren't for the great-grandfather Gongsun Yang of your country who was slandering his lips and talking in front of Wei Jun and offering all his slander, how could Wei Jun do such a ruthless thing? If it were your Qin State Gongsun Yang, you have to say something, it is because of your Qin State's ill-behavior, why blame me on Wei again?"

It's a blessing that Gongsun Yang was not here, so he dared to say this. If Shang Yang was here, Chen Zhen would probably be torn to the spot by him, with chest tightness and shortness of breath, and could not get off the bed for three and a half days... (I have also said in the previous article that Shang Yang's eloquence is not ordinary)

"If Wei Ying hadn't had a bad intention, how could he have changed his mind just because of Shang Jun's words? In the final analysis, this is a proof that your Wei Kingdom is unwilling to be given by others! It is conceivable what kind of treatment Princess Ji would be treated when she married you!"

"Is that so? Then how good is your Qin State? At the Mengjin meeting, although the words and deeds of the King of Wei were a little inappropriate, the essence of the parliament was a grand event to pay tribute to the emperor. If I remember correctly... Qin Xiaogong did not come, right? He dared not even pay tribute to the emperor, which shows that he did not take the emperor of Zhou seriously at all. The Qin people were brave and fighting. What would happen if Princess Ji married in this country?"

"Mengjin's meeting was planned by your King of Wei. There is no conspiracy. Qin Xiaogong naturally cannot go..."

...

For most of the day, the two of them were talking about local tea, fighting each other, and fighting back and forth. Qin Xiaogong and Wei Hui had a grudge against their father, and the national hatred and family hatred were stacked together, and there was too much black material to spray each other. The original topic of marriage was getting worse and worse by them, and the conflicts were also getting worse and worse. But for some reason, the Yin clan did not mediate or try to bring the topic back on track, but kept watching coldly, and from time to time, he curled his lips contemptuously, as if watching an extremely ridiculous performance.

Seeing this scene, King Xian of Zhou was so nervous: a discerning person could understand at a glance that the conflict between Qin and Wei had already reached the point where water and fire were incompatible. If he pleased one of them, he would inevitably offend the other. What's more,

The subordinates planned to marry Cai'er to Yan State, which would be equivalent to offending the two major countries at the same time. Although the Yin clan said that it would be enough to hand over everything to him, how could he continue his plan under such circumstances? Could it be that he would directly tell these two people that "due to some inconvenient reasons, Your Majesty decided to marry Princess Ji to Duke Wen of Yan"...? This is too hasty!

After hearing this for a while, the Yin clan yawned and waved his hand and said, "You two stop and listen to me first... Due to some inconvenient reasons, Your Majesty beat Princess Ji who wanted to marry Princess Ji to Duke Wen of Yan from the very beginning. The princes of the two countries... I'm afraid they won't be able to wait, so please go back."

"..." King Xian of Zhou shrugged with laughter and cry, thinking that he was really a clever plan... The situation became like this, and he simply gave up and stopped worrying, and let the Yin clan continue to show it. Once he accepted this setting, it would be quite pleasant to sit aside and watch the show...

When Chen Zhen and Celiji heard this, they immediately stopped tearing each other and looked at each other, with their faces full of expressions of "You are teasing me?". This is the proposal of Qin and Wei! It can almost be said that they are the two strongest major countries today! The worst plan they had made was that King Xian of Zhou finally married Ji Cai to another country of them, but they never expected that the Yin clan had this trick. After doing this, the two of them were extremely embarrassed: after a long time of trouble, they didn't want to marry their daughter to you, and you even posted it on your own, saying that, promise, promise, that, what is it that is not a shame...

"Reasons that are inconvenient to explain..." Celiji's smile became a little stiff. He turned around and looked at the Yin clan, with a bit of threatening and fierce look in his tone. "I dare to ask Ping An Hou, what is the reason that makes you so afraid that you can't even say it? Since Emperor Zhou had a long-term judgment on the marriage and hiring, why did Ping An Hou invite me and the other two into the palace? Isn't it better to just sue me...?"

"Hmph, Brother Celi... We are fighting hard, but we don't expect the emperor to make a decision on this matter. After a few moments, outsiders saw a good show." At this time, Chen Zhen was good at changing the throne with Celiji and immediately formed an alliance with Celiji to fight the Yin clan. "If I remember correctly... Duke Wen of Yan is nearly 70 years old this year and is very old. The emperor is willing to marry Princess Ji there... Humph, it's really unexpected. It's better to say that ordinary fathers wouldn't think so? Could it be... Lord Ping'an Hou advised the emperor of this kind of slander? He told her to give up the two princes of the great kingdom who were proposing to marry her, and ran to a distant small country to be a wife for an old man in his seventies?"

"It has nothing to do with you who the princess marry, and it shouldn't be up to you. If the two think that Princess Ji is just a symbol of your national strength, then it would be a big mistake. She is a living person, and His Majesty and I think that it is best for her to marry into Yan State and stay away from disputes." The Yin clan faced the pressure brought by two major powers, but he did not mess at all. His waist was straight and his eyes were full of spirit, as if he had seen big scenes. "Your power factions in your country are so complex and the party struggles are serious... I don't think that you have to say more, you know in your heart. Princess Ji Cai is innocent and married to you... She is so simple when she can't let go."

"Hmph..." Chen Zhen snorted coldly in secret. The words of the Yin clan already expressed his own position. It is impossible to hope that such a person can let go. Since that's the case... he can only start with others!

"Your Majesty..." Chen Zhen turned around, held his fists and bowed, "Do you think so too?"
