Chapter 717 Attitude of Proclaiming the Kingdom
After hearing what he said, the King of Chu chuckled and said, "Is the messenger retreating to advance?"
Jiang Yi said: "No, no, no, these Qin merchants are really not worth mentioning to me, but my king will definitely be angry, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Qin army will not cross the Yangtze River."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not." Jiang Yi said: "I just want to remind Your Highness not to become a pawn in the hands of others."
Hearing this, the King of Chu's eyes trembled.
Jiang Yi continued: "Your Highness can tell that there are three disadvantages in this matter for the State of Chu."
"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully." The King of Chu looked very interested.
Jiang Yi said: "First, this matter will definitely cause panic among other merchants. There is no doubt that Chu State will also make the population a reality, making businessmen in other countries feel that there is a great risk in doing business in Chu."
"Secondly, Your Highness will also break his trust in the world because the nations communicate with each other and have relevant treaties."
"Third, my king will be furious about it, and the anger of the Qin people will be concentrated on the State of Chu, which is what some people want to see the most."
"What are the benefits of these Qin merchants being arrested in Chu? They cannot threaten Qin and cannot bring any benefits to Chu. What they can only bring is the impact on Chu."
"Your Highness is a wise king, a wise king. How could such a small matter that is not profitable and causes many disadvantages?"
"So I will suggest that your highness might as well kill them, and kill them, things will be easier, right?"
He said so much in one breath, pointing out that the State of Chu had no benefit in this matter, and the disadvantages immediately emerged.
After hearing this, the King of Chu first turned his eyes, then chuckled and said, "Hehe, the messenger is good at speaking. I already know what I said today. Let's stop here. Let's go to the posthouse to rest first."
Jiang Yi was not in a hurry and immediately bowed and bowed: "I believe your highness has made a decision. In this way, I will take my leave."
After he left, the ministers of Chu State in the hall also began to discuss. Immediately afterwards, someone came out and said, "The King, the Qin envoy Jiang Yi, was an eloquent person. Today, he was so clever. If he wanted to use his tongue to make his country release people, it would be so easy."
"But what he said is indeed the case, isn't it?" King Chu asked back.
"This..." the minister concluded.
The King of Chu smiled again and said, "Forget it, I didn't plan to do anything about these Qin merchants in this matter. Jiang Yi said it well, killing them is useless, and detaining them is of no benefit. Anyway, our goal has been achieved. Since the King of Qin sent an envoy, let it go with the flow."
"Then, the seized goods..." another minister asked tentatively.
"Give it back to them, otherwise, it will really make people feel detrimental, and I said that my Chu State is a country of robbers." The King of Chu waved his hand indifferently, and after that, he also walked off the throne.
His purpose is indeed not to this, but to express his attitude towards Qin to the other countries.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yi's arrival is just a formality.
The next day, the King of Chu issued an order, and a group of Qin merchants were also released on the spot.
Where did Qin envoy stay?
More than a dozen businessmen were bowing to Jiang Yi and thanking him endlessly.
The latter glanced at everyone and asked casually: "Where are you from?"
"In Xialiyang people, they have been in contact with Qin and Chu all year round..."
"The merchants in Xiabeiling have always been law-abiding. I didn't expect that the State of Chu would be so rude..."
"Yes, thanks to you this time, otherwise, we don't know when we will be locked up..."
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Everyone is all my Qin Shang, so the king will not sit idly by. Okay, it is not suitable for Chu to stay for a long time now. You all return to China as soon as possible..."
At the same time, Lingguo.
After the Qin Shang incident, the King of Chu sent envoys to the spirit, and at this time, the Chu envoys were also lobbying in the court.
He said straight to the point: "Since the barbaric Qin plundered the emperor, the empire was in danger, the royal family was shamed, and the Qin king's ambition was obvious, and he successively annexed Jinliang and other places, threatening the countries around the world."
"This is a barbaric robber. Cai Yan, the minister of Liang Kingdom, once said that if all countries sit and watch Qin come out from the east and do not want to join forces to plot against Qin, they will not be destroyed by Qin, but by themselves."
"Now, my king is willing to make another plan to unite with the weak Qin, and strive to lock the barbarian Qin people back into Shanyuguan. I just don't know if Lingguo supports it."
As he said that, he said: "In addition, in order to clarify his position, my king has begun to launch a series of attacks on the Qin Shang in Chu, demonstrating his determination to be incompatible with the barbaric Qin!"
After hearing what he said, Ling King looked up and smiled, saying, "Okay! Since the brother of Chu is so determined, how can I not support me? Don't worry, Lingguo will immediately cut off commercial relations with Qin!"
The arrival of the Chu envoy was exactly the same as the King of Spirit. He directly expressed his attitude. The Chu envoy was also happy and immediately bent down: "Your Highness is wise and powerful, and the nations are united. This time, you will be weak in Qin and you will be successful!"
The matter of Chu's detention of Qin Shang was just resolved, and Lingguo immediately issued an order to expel Qin Shang, directly tore up a series of treaties signed with Qin and cut off the mutual communication between Qin Ling's business.
Next is Huan Kingdom.
The Chu envoy was here without much talk. He only pointed out the purpose of the visit. King Huan immediately agreed and even said excitedly in the court hall:
"Okay, okay! All the nations are finally willing to do it! It should have been a long time since the Qin King thought of him, and he was in trouble and imprisoned the emperor in the palace. He was even more ambitious and wanted to annex the world! This time, the alliance of all the nations must drive him back to Shanyuguan!"
Huan Ling agreed, let alone Wu, he was the first to respond to Chu.
For a time, Wu, Chu, Huan Ling, and Qin Shang from the four countries began to be driven out of the country.
One or two, this will not have any effect on Qin, but if the four countries cut off commercial exchanges at the same time, it would be a big problem.
This had a serious impact on the business of Qin, especially the blow to Shu Jin.
In a time of great struggle, if a vassal state develops too strongly, it will definitely be attacked by a joint attack from all nations. This is nothing strange.
The four countries did not engage in trade with Qin, but they could still interact with each other, so the influence was not great.
But Qin will undoubtedly lose a major economic pillar.
The countries have obvious purpose, which is to first attack Qin in commercial terms and weaken Qin's national strength.
In the Qin Palace, Liu Yuzhi, Shangguan Wenruo and other important officials were standing respectfully below, and Xiao Yuan was also paced back and forth.
Of course he was not in a good mood, and he frowned even more.
