618. Chapter 618 A Gathering of Heroes
Su Qin was about to explain to Chen Ying, but before he could speak, Chen Zhen spoke first, and he said, "Why should you care about a dinner, brother? It is normal for the Zhao clan to hold a banquet to entertain envoys from all countries. After all, the Eastern princes gathered in Handan of Zhao, which gave Zhao enough face. It is also a matter of their duty to hold a banquet to thank him."
Su Qin turned his head and looked at Chen Zhen, feeling something strange. It was too rare for Chen Zhen to speak according to his own wishes. Su Qin felt something was wrong, but he couldn't understand the hidden truth. He thought to himself: "Is Chen Zhen greedy for a sumptuous meal at Zhao State's banquet? Is this impossible?" He couldn't help but shook his head slightly, unbelievable.
But no matter what, Chen Zhen persuaded Chen to attend the royal dinner, which was a great thing. Su Qin then followed the situation and advised Chen Xu: "Brother Chen, don't refuse, it's just a meal. Brother Chen might as well treat it as a dinner. Anyway, you will eat it, but you have changed the place."
Chen Zhen and Su Qin advised each other, and of course Chen Huo quickly figured it out. He nodded and nodded.
Su Qin also wanted to visit Tian Cheng, the envoy of Qi, so he bowed to say goodbye to Chen Xu and Chen Zhen, and said, "You brothers have a detailed chat. I have other official duties. I will come to visit again if I have time."
Chen Hui replied: "Ji Zi is busy with you, I don't need you to worry too much. Our friends for many years, I will never care about your courtesy or not."
Su Qin was grateful and bowed again, then left the No. 1 courtyard. He went to the second best courtyard next to where the delegation of Qi lived.
Tian Cheng, the leader of the Qi State mission, was closing his eyes in the house to rest. The delegation rushed to Handan overnight yesterday and arrived in Handan early in the morning. Tian Cheng did not sleep well along the way, so he was recuperating at this time. Su Qin arrived at the yard No. 2 and heard that Tian Cheng was resting. He was a little hesitant and was inconvenient to disturb him.
So under the window where Tian Cheng was staying, Su Qin asked Tian Cheng's side to send a message to Tian Cheng, asking him to bring five important members of the Qi delegation to attend the Zhao clan dinner tomorrow.
While he was talking, Tian Cheng heard the movement outside the house. He leaned out of the house and said to Su Qin: "Su Qing invites you, why don't you talk in the house?"
Su Qin replied with a smile: "I was worried that I would disturb Tian Qing's cultivation, so I didn't report it. I didn't expect Tian Qing to wake up."
Tian Cheng smiled and made a gesture, and let Su Qin go to the room. After the two of them sat down, Su Qin told Tian Cheng about the dinner. Tian Cheng also asked about the situation of the King of Qi Tian Pijiang. Su Qin said: "He is playing in my private residence, and his thoughts are probably not at all on business."
Tian Cheng laughed, and the two chatted for a few more times. Su Qin said goodbye. He had been going to the Prime Minister's Office to handle official duties early in the morning, but he didn't expect that this busyness was already noon.
He came out of the upper house and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion this time. He thought he could calm down for a while. However, shortly after he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he received a report again. It turned out that the upper house was again welcomed by Yan and Han missions, so Su Qin had to hurry to the upper house again.
He was the nominal minister of the six kingdoms and the head of the joint assembly. When the various princes and missions arrived, he was of course responsible for greeting and greetings as soon as possible. But the busyness of the horse was unstoppable.
Fortunately, the envoys led by Yan State and the Han Mission were both old acquaintances of Su Qin. The envoys of Yan State were Le Xuan, the general of Yan State who participated in the Battle of Mianchi, while the envoys of Han State were Shen Zhi, who had dealt with many dealings.
Because Shen Zhi was committed to persuade Su Qin to save Han, and he had already taken the post of a doctor, after the victory of the Mianchihui Battle, Han Gu simply rewarded him as the prime minister of South Korea for his merits.
Su Qin was very happy when he saw his old friends. He talked about his farewell experience with everyone, and later he specially informed the Zhao clan clan dinner one by one. Le Xuan and Shen Zhi were both guests and agreed to it.
Su Qin had received the delegations of various princes. It was already afternoon, and the sun was already in the west. He said goodbye to everyone, dragged his tired steps, got on his carriage, and rushed back to the Peach Garden.
When he arrived at the door of Taohua Garden, he happened to meet Zhou Shao, drunkenly, and led a dozen guards to patrol the park. When Su Qin saw Zhou Shao, he was worried that he would accompany King Tian Pijiang of Qi, so he asked immediately:
"How about you accompanying King Qi at noon? He is quite satisfied with our reception?"
Zhou Shao said with a wide tongue and a proud look on his face: "Prime Minister, don't worry, there is nothing that I, Zhou Shao, can't do. Isn't it just to accompany King Qi to make him happy? If you don't believe it, go ask King Qi, he will be so happy that he can't even tell the difference between the south, south, west and north."
Seeing that Zhou Shao was so confident, but Zhou Shao obviously exaggerated after drinking. He half-believed and half-doubted, and asked, "Where is the King of Qi now? He must have had a rest."
Zhou Shao smiled and said, "The King of Qi is full of energy. He is probably still drinking and dancing at this moment. He is not watching singing and dancing, he is simply dancing with a crazy demon."
Su Qin said "Huh" and asked Zhou Shao in detail in a strange way about the situation of entertaining Tian Pijiang. It turned out that Zhou Shao didn't know what to do at first, so he couldn't let go of his hands and feet. Later, after drinking three glasses of wine, the wine strengthened his courage, Zhou Shao simply ignored it.
Originally, he watched the dance slightly elegantly, but later, Zhou Shao felt unsatisfied and enthusiastically invited Tian Pijiang to dance with the dancers. Now it was as good as Tian Pijiang's wishes. He danced endlessly, and he could see his dancing figure in almost every song and dance.
Unfortunately, his dance was not good-looking, but he was willing to dance and liked it. Others also took into account his identity and no one dissuaded him. Zhou Shao had gotten up to accompany him to make a fuss, but later, he was so tired that he couldn't help him. However, the King of Qi was not tired at all.
Later, Zhou Shao thought about the alert tasks he had undertaken, stood up and said goodbye to King Qi, and led his men to patrol the garden. King Qi himself was immersed in singing and dancing in Su Qin's backyard.
