Chapter 795 The arms race has begun! King Jian of Qi joined Qin as a minister?
Although Xu Qiong was madly slandering in her heart, she could only surrender her face again: "My lord, you are incompetent!"
"Please punish me, your Majesty!"
The King of Yan was pleased Forcibly suppressing the irritability and anger in his heart, he asked in a deep voice: "I will allocate ten thousand prisoners, thirty thousand cattle, sheep, and hogs each, and ten thousand stones each of grain to you."
"Can I be the master of ceremony?" Dayan seeks a blessing like the city of Handan? ”
Xu Qiong still shook his head: "The heart of heaven and earth is unpredictable."
"I think that if the king personally sacrifices with heavy gifts, the thick soil will be more likely to be happy!"
"But even if the soil is thick and the heart is happy, it may not be as blessed as the city of Handan!"
Even though King Yan was very determined, he arranged the most lavish sacrifice in the history of the Yan Kingdom. .
But Xu Qiong still had no confidence.
After all, Xu Qiong has been the priest of the Yan Kingdom for so many years and has read countless ancient books left by the sages and predecessors, but Xu Qiong has never seen any record of blessings such as the Hellfire surrounding the city.
Even the most boastful vision of the blessings of heaven and earth in the classics, its scene is inferior to that of the underworld fire surrounding the city!
May I be blessed with thick soil like the city of Handan in Yan State?
My lord, do you think I am Lord Changan of Qin? !
Yan Wangxi's last hope failed, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Since the heaven and the earth are unreliable, can I, the Great Yan, use my human power to forge the vision of blessing?!"
Xu Qiong looked at Yan Wangxi in disbelief: "Your Majesty, what did you say?!"
Yan Wangxi's voice was a little lower: "Is there any way to create a creature like the underworld fire with human power? A vision like the city?"
"I don't want it to be the same as the city surrounded by fire, I just want it to be as shocking as the city surrounded by fire!"
"Then, from Aiqing declares that this is a blessing from heaven! "
"In this way, people in the world will know that although Qin is rich in soil, I, Yan, are even more blessed by heaven!"
Since heaven, earth and gods are unreliable, let us use our hands to create miracles!
Although this miracle is fake, it can still unite the people of Yan and inspire people.
However, King Yan Xi’s thoughts made Xu Qiong suddenly stand up and asked in silence: “Your Majesty, you want to deceive the heavens?!”
The king of Yan said solemnly: “I am not deceiving the heavens. , but I am just borrowing a little favor from heaven.”
“When I, Yan, expand my territory and I realize my ancestors’ will, heaven will forgive me!”
The officiant is Xu Qiong.
The executor is Xu Qiong.
The person who claims this is a blessing from heaven is Xu Qiong!
If Heaven is really angry because of this, then at worst, Xu Qiong will be killed as a sacrifice to Heaven, which will calm Heaven’s anger!
So King Yan was not panicked at all.
Xu Qiong shook his head repeatedly and said without hesitation: "To deceive the sky is to deceive the sky, it cannot be argued with!"
"As a minister of ceremony, I will never accept the act of deceiving the sky, let alone the king's intention to deceive the sky. .”
“We have different opinions and we don’t want to work together!”
“Please resign, my minister!” Just go!
King Yan's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Xu Qiong, the Master of Ceremonies!"
"Stop for me!"
However, Xu Qiong had no intention of stopping.
Xu Qiong knew that Ying Chengyu, who could call the wind, rain, and earth dragons, provided Qin with a huge advantage on the battlefield.
In the Yan State, predicting celestial phenomena and communicating with the heaven and earth were Xu Qiong's responsibilities.
If Qin and Yan go to war again, Xu Qiong is likely to be sent to the battlefield by King Yan Xi to curb Ying Chengyu's witchcraft.
But does Xu Qiong herself not know whether Xu Qiong can communicate with heaven and earth?
Li Gui is most afraid of meeting Li Kui, and liars are most afraid of meeting a real person.
Finally found a reason to resign with confidence, Xu Qiong is stupid to stay!
Seeing Xu Qiong walk out of the imperial study without looking back, King Yan overturned the bamboo slips piled on the table to the ground and shouted angrily: "You are a rebel! You are all rebels!"
< br>
"If heaven and earth do not help me, Yan, I, Yan, will help myself!"
"What is wrong with my strategy?!"
"The rebellious minister Xu Qiong is unwilling to help me, and I will do it myself." You can find someone else to help you!"
Ji Guang picked up the bamboo slips and returned them to King Yan Xi's desk one by one, sighing softly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit impulsive."
< br>Yan Dan's death was insignificant to Yan Wangxi, but the negative thorn sacrifice was a huge blow to Yan Wangxi.
Ever since that sacrificial ceremony, King Yan became obviously more irritable and eager for quick success.
Even the most praiseworthy attitude of admitting mistakes in the past has become less positive.
Yan Wangxi suddenly looked at Ju Guang and said, "Ai Qing, don't you support me?"
Ju Guang reminded softly: "I think that Xu Sili may help the king to deceive the sky. There may be no way to help the king deceive the heavens.”
“But no matter whether Xu Sili has any way to deceive the heavens, Xu Sili will only say that he doesn’t have it.”
"Only because the royal power is inherited by the emperor, and the power of the emperor is inherited by heaven and earth!"
"If the king acts to deceive heaven, the king's throne will also be questioned!"
>"Your Majesty, please believe in my country, Dayan, and believe that I, Dayan, can win the trust of heaven and earth!"
The idea of King Yan Xi is very good, but there is no possibility of it being realized.
If Tian can be deceived, then the legal basis of all the princes will be shaken!
Once someone really helps Yan Wangxi do such a crazy thing, the first person who wants to kill him must be Yan Wangxi himself!
Under Juguang's persuasion, King Yan finally calmed down a little, and then said in a deep voice: "Prime minister, please give me the order!"
"I, the great Yan, would like to beg the world with great courtesy. The wizards and alchemists entered Yan to sacrifice heaven and earth for our great Yan!”
Following the orders of Yan Wang Xi and Dai Wang Jia, an arms race oriented by superstition began.
It begins!
Since it is an arms race oriented by superstition, how could Qi, the country with the most abundant alchemists, fall behind?
As early as when Dai Wangjia and Yan Wangxi were still recruiting witches and alchemists, more than a thousand alchemists had already poured into Linzi City. Wu Palace.
Hou Sheng stood in the distance of a pavilion, quietly watching Qi Wangjian chatting happily with several alchemists.
After the alchemists left, Hou Sheng walked to the pavilion and shouted in a deep voice: "Meet the king!"
Qi Wangjian looked back and said with a smile as if he had just seen Hou Sheng: "How come uncle has no time to enter the palace today?"
Hou Sheng did not answer Qi Wangjian's question, but looked directly at Qi Wangjian and asked. "Why did the king suddenly become interested in the foreign warriors?"
Qi Wangjian did not hide it, and sighed with emotion: "Not only can Lord Qin Chang'an summon the earth dragon to help in the battle, but he can also ask for thick soil to intercept the underworld's invitation. The ancestors of the Qin Dynasty watched the ceremony at the head of Handan City. "
"I am so fascinated that I wish I could see it!"
"It's a pity that Lord Qin Chang'an can't come to Qi, so I can only do more. Ask the alchemist to understand your longing.”
Hou Sheng pointed to the essence of the problem and asked in a deep voice: "I think that your Majesty is not just fascinated by Qin Chang'an's actions in Handan City."
"He also wants to imitate Qin Chang'an and win the favor of heaven and earth." ?”
Qi Wangjian nodded calmly: “What my uncle said is true.”
“I want to gather alchemists from all directions, assisted by the shamans in the court, and I will personally sacrifice to heaven and earth!” >
“If I can seek blessings from heaven and earth, I will be a great blessing to all the people!”
Hou Sheng sighed softly and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, how many sacrifices are there from all the countries in the world?"
"Has any country or person ever been as favored by heaven and earth as Lord Chang'an of Qin?"
>
"As far as I know, there is only one person, Lord Chang'an of Qin!"
"I ask the king not to have such an idea!"
Qi Wangjian smiled: "What my uncle said Words, few people know.”
"If my sacrifice can bring blessings from heaven and earth, then my heart will be very happy."
"If my sacrifice cannot bring blessings from heaven and earth, as long as it can bring joy to heaven and earth and show our sincerity, it will be fine." That's enough!"
Hou Sheng said without mercy: "If the king really thinks so, I will support the king."
"But I think that the king is really doing this. Competing with Lord Qin Chang'an for the favor of heaven and earth."
"If word of this sacrifice spreads, the State of Qin will also think that the king is competing with Lord Qin Chang'an for the favor of heaven and earth!"
The smile on Qi Wangjian's face slowly dissipated: "As the king of Qi, I must sacrifice to the heaven and earth according to the etiquette of my Da Qi within the territory of my Da Qi."
"No?"
Hou Sheng said decisively: "If the king offers sacrifices to heaven and earth as in previous years, of course it is possible."
"But if the king suddenly offers sacrifices on a large scale after Lord Qin Chang'an asked for the soil to be poured down on Handan City to bless him, of course it is not possible. ! ”
“Otherwise, we may surprise our allies!”
King Jian of Qi's voice was filled with anger: "As the king of Qi, I have to sacrifice to heaven and earth to see the face of Qin?!" Be favored by heaven and earth..."
Before Qi Wangjian could finish speaking, Hou Sheng interrupted Qi Wangjian rudely: "Even if I, Da Qi, can be blessed by heaven and earth, even if the king can be favored by heaven and earth. , I am afraid that it will be difficult to surpass the preference of Qin Changan Lord by heaven and earth."
"Since both the king and Qin Changan Lord are favored by heaven and earth, if Qin Qi goes to war, what chance does the king think that Qi Qi will win? !”
Qi Wangjian’s longing was instantly extinguished by Hou Sheng!
The decline of Qi cannot be saved by a wizard who is favored by heaven and earth.
Qin’s prosperity was not created because of a shaman who was favored by heaven and earth.
Even if King Jian of Qi can get the favor of heaven and earth, so what?
Qi Wangjian clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists and said bitterly: "Are we just going to watch Qin enjoy the exclusive favor of heaven and earth, or even inherit the destiny of heaven?!"
Hou Sheng sighed softly and bowed his hands: "My lord, please come to Qin again and ask me to be your minister!"
"Now Qin has destroyed Zhao, and now only Dai, Yan, and Qi are left in the world."
"Dai is the descendant of Zhao. It has been exhausted after suffering heavy losses. Yan has no virtue and incompetence, and it is really difficult. Resist Qin. "
"If you ask me to serve as a minister while Dai and Yan are still alive, you may still have a place in Qin."
"But if you hesitate. , I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to be a minister even if I am willing to do so in the future.”
Qi Wang Jian clenched his fists in his sleeves, shook his head bitterly, and said, “I know what Xiangbang said is wrong! Virtual.”
"But as the king of Qi, how can I ask to be a minister of Qin?"
"If I ask to be a minister of Qin, how can I have the face to face our ancestors of Qi in a hundred years!"
< br>Hou Sheng looked at King Qi Jianda sincerely: "Your Majesty!"
"In recent years, heaven and earth have repeatedly blessed Qin, and the thick soil has treated Qin Changan Lord so kindly!"
>"This is enough to show that destiny lies with Qin!"
"Your Majesty's invitation to serve as a minister of Qin is indeed an act of God's will. Even if our ancestors in Da Qi knew about it, they would definitely not blame the Majesty!"
Beside King Jian of Qi, all the eunuchs, maids, and eunuchs gathered together. He cupped his hands and shouted:
"I would like to advise you, your Majesty!"
Seeing that the eunuch who helped him explore the situation outside the palace was cupping his hands and shouting, Qi Wangjian's pupils suddenly shrank.
Even Qi Wangjian, who thought he was a loyal minister, defected to Housheng at some point!
So, does he still have a choice?
After Qi Wangjian was silent for a long time, he finally laughed at himself: "King of Qi? King of Qi~"
"Prepare the guard of honor for the king of Qi."
"I, my dear, come in Qin is a minister!"
Seeing that Qi Wangjian finally made this decision, Hou Sheng almost cried with joy: "Your Majesty is wise!"
