369. Chapter 369 Real power and false name

Halfway through the banquet, everyone drank a lot of wine. The hall was full of wine. When the crowd was full of wine, Ji Bian took advantage of the excitement and suggested to Su Qin: "Have Prime Minister Su thought of being a high-ranking official in my Zhou Dynasty? If Prime Minister Su was interested, I could completely appoint you as a prince."

Su Qin was surprised when he heard Ji Bian's words of reward. He had no preparation for this matter before. Even though he was resourceful and meticulous, he felt that it was difficult to make a decision temporarily. What an attractive promise was a vassal in the past!

Su Qin quickly remembered the fate of powerful ministers who were once rewarded by the Zhou emperor in history. People like Guan Zhong were like Guan Zhong. Because Guan Zhong quelled civil strife for the Zhou family, he was treated with the courtesy of the princes. As a result, Guan Zhong did not get any substantial benefits, but instead made the true lord Duke Huan of Qi aggravated suspicion.

This is obviously a deal that is not worth the effort. It sounds like the title of the Zhou royal family is beautiful, but it is worthless when it is put into practice. Instead, it has been criticized by the world, saying that it has ulterior motives. What's more, the Zhou royal family is declining now, and title is harmful and useless.

Thinking of this, Su Qin smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness. I was the prime minister of the six kingdoms. I received the honor of others and should relieve my worries. I have obtained the title of princes from you, where will my lord be placed?"

Su Qin was not very polite. Ji Bian turned red when he heard this. He knew that the only thing he could do to tempt people was not very effective. But Ji Bian still didn't give up. He thought: "If you don't like a name, I'll try something else."

Ji Bian quickly regained his calm expression. He said "Hmm" and continued: "It turns out that Prime Minister Su is so loyal, very precious and admirable. But you and I are both from Luoyang. I am also very moved by you for glory for us Luoyang. I am also very moved and I want to reward you."

Su Qin was drinking with his followers, but when he heard Ji Bian's recitation, he said to himself: "What's wrong with the emperor of Zhou this time? Today he seems particularly generous. Did he ask me for help?"

Su Qin was kind-hearted, and he replied calmly: "From the perspective of fellow villagers, I am very moved. We still have some regional origins. What is the reward for?"

Ji Bian thought for a while, and was cruel and took off a jade pendant from his body, and ordered the eunuch around him to hand it over to Su Qin. Su Qin took it and found that the jade pendant was crystal clear, the size of a child's palm, and a hint of green dimness appeared in the white luster. It was indeed a peerless treasure.

Ji Bian introduced to Su Qin: "This jade pendant was passed down by my ancestors. According to the instructions of the previous king, it was a treasure worn by Zhou Gong, the founding hero, and later gave it to King Cheng, and advised him to learn from jade and always pay attention to self-cultivation and virtue."

After hearing Ji Bian's introduction, Su Qin almost jumped up from the seat. If what Ji Bian said was true, then the value of this jade pendant would be extraordinary.

What a virtuous man, Duke Zhou was carrying his young nephew, King Cheng of Zhou, and met the princes in the south, took charge of the government affairs, quelled the rebellion of the Shang Dynasty and built Luoyang City. After King Cheng of Zhou grew up, he returned to power to his nephew and retired successfully.

Such characters are great heroes praised and admired by everyone. The treasures he wore are very precious in themselves, and the story of admonishing him to become a king is even more strange!

Su Qin held the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't let it go. Ning Jun and others around him also heard Ji Bian's introduction. Everyone couldn't help but stretched their necks and stared at the jade pendant in Su Qin's hand. Who doesn't love the supreme treasure, who doesn't want to take it for themselves, and there are very few who can avoid it.

Seeing that the Zhou Gong jade pendant he had given up aroused Su Qin's interest, Ji Bian gritted his teeth and held on. Ji Bian also had some hope for this move.

He sighed, pretended to be sad, and said, "Although the precious jade pendant is still there, the Zhou royal family no longer has the peak of the time. It's a pity, a pity!"

Ji Bian handed over the most precious treasure to Su Qin, and Su Qin was naturally felt by Ji Bian's sincerity. As a fellow villager, Su Qin felt that he should help Ji Bian.

Su Qin asked, "I kept sighing when the king kept sighing. I wonder if you have any difficulties. Can I help you?"

Since receiving the favor of Ji Bian's jade pendant, Su Qin's tone has relaxed and respectfully called him "King".

When Ji Bian found out that there was a man, his eyes lit up. He quickly said, "It is God's blessing to me that I can get the support of Prime Minister Su. If I can get the support of the Union Alliance led by Prime Minister Su, I will have hope of revitalization."

Su Qin replied: "I wonder how the king wants our Union Alliance to support you?"

Ji Bian looked at Su Qin, paused, made up his mind, and said, "My title of Emperor is becoming increasingly empty, and it is still a name but not a real thing. It just so happens that Prime Minister Su's alliance of your Union and Zong is also in need of a Union and Zong? If you can get the title of Union and Zong, combined with my Emperor's name, it will be legitimate and strengthen the Union and Zong."

When Su Qin heard Ji Bian's words, he was surprised and ridiculous. What he was surprised was that Emperor Zhou had a disgusting attitude towards the position of He Zongchang. This position was obviously a real position with supreme power, and it was not comparable to that of Emperor Zhou's name.

Ji Bian wanted to use the title of the emperor to take over the position of the chief minister, and from then on he could order the princes of the East to enjoy the glory and majesty of his emperor again. Ji Bian's many scheming and deep scheming really surprised Su Qin. This person seemed to be no fool with a living bag.

Su Qin felt ridiculous that Emperor Zhou did not measure his own value. Why should he take on the position of Hezong? Could it be that he only relies on sweet words and a jade pendant handed down by his ancestors? This is too underestimated the strength and wisdom of the rising stars.

Su Qin's face darkened and he replied coldly: "We just want to get an edict from you that we have to issue, indicating that you have to give it to the Union Alliance, and you have to give it to it if you don't give it to it. If you don't issue an edict, the Eastern princes will find you and your position as the emperor will not be guaranteed."

Su Qin's name was changed back to "you", and he was too lazy to call him "king". After he discovered Ji Bian's unpredictable intentions, he certainly no longer polite to him.

He then said, "As for the position of Hezong Chief, who can command the world and command thousands of troops, this position is crucial, so you should give up on this. I still have to do it myself, so I can't give in." Su Qin waved his hand and asked the eunuch to return the jade pendants on several tables to Ji Bian.

Ji Bian found that Su Qin's voice turned angry. He was frightened and hurriedly defended himself: "How dare I command the world? I just want to add the title of Emperor and the title of Hezong to be more conducive to the Hezong alliance. His heart can be seen."

Su Qin looked at Ji Bian coldly and thought to himself: "You found that you didn't cheat on the position of Chief of He Zong, but instead angered me, so you changed your words."

However, Ji Bian's statement reminded Su Qin that he had been considering how to stabilize the Hezong Alliance. Now what Ji Bian said about the position of "Hezong Chief" is a good way. Can you justify the Hezong Kingdom that joins the alliance by yourself?

Su Qinxin said: "Ji Bian's wrong thoughts have opened up my mind, very good, very good!"

Ji Bian impressed Su Qin with Duke Zhou's jade pendant, but unexpectedly it did not work at all. He almost caused trouble for himself, and he was also deflated.

Su Qin had a new plan. He stared at Ji Bian intently and laughed spontaneously: "You Ji Bian should be your puppet emperor. Looking at today, the new master is no longer your Zhou emperor, but a leader named "Su Qin".

Seeing that he had never deceived Su Qin any longer, Ji Bian couldn't help but feel guilty and thought: "I'd better be honest and stop causing trouble. Treat Su Qin well. Chun impressed him as a fellow villager. He was not so disgusted with me, and I also lost a lot of trouble."

Ji Bian had made up his mind, so he let go of his hands and feet and sat on par with Su Qin. The two and three hundred people were on the main hall of the Zhou Palace, completely ignoring the Zhou Dynasty's etiquette and partying all night. Now the temple of the Zhou emperor has also become an ordinary large room where common people share and enjoy it.

Su Qin returned to the official house west of the palace where he was staying very late. He entered Luoyang City from dusk and had not had time to visit his father and brothers, so the next day, he endured the slight discomfort in his body, got up early in the morning and ordered his subordinates to prepare a car and go back to the Su family's mansion.

When the Emperor Zhou heard that Su Qin was going back to his house, he specially sent a ceremonial guard from the palace. More than 500 guards holding flags and swords and halberds were walking forward in a mighty way. Su Qin's carriage followed behind the ceremonial guard, and behind him were hundreds of followers of the six countries' delegations.

There are more than five miles from the palace to the Su family's mansion, but due to the many ceremonial guards and too many accompanying people, the leading people have arrived at the Su family, and the team at the end has just set off, almost the entire road is full of Su Qin's accompanying people.

On the street market in Luoyang, there were more and more people gathering, with the crowds of people coming and going, and it was very lively. Su Qin was sitting in the car when he heard someone shouting outside: "Ji Zi from the Su family, are you the people in the car? Come out and let everyone take a look."

With the sparse shouts, the people around them began to make a fuss, and gradually formed a loud sound that resounded throughout the street market in Luoyang.

Su Qin could sit calmly in the carriage at first, and as the sound became louder and louder, deafening, he felt embarrassed. So Su Qin lifted up the curtain of the carriage, came out of the carriage, stood at the front of the carriage, bowed to the fellow villagers on both sides of the street. Halfway through the banquet, everyone drank a lot of wine, and the whole hall was filled with wine, while the whole hall was filled with wine, Ji Bian took advantage of the excitement and suggested to Su Qin: "Have Prime Minister Su thought of being a high-ranking official in my Zhou Dynasty? If Prime Minister Su was interested, I could completely appoint you as a prince."
