Zhao Dan did it as soon as he said that, and immediately met the visiting prime minister of Qi, Housheng.

If we follow the press releases of later generations, then this meeting should be written like this.

Handan Society, July 20, this morning, the great and wise king, King Zhao Dan, met with the visiting Prime Minister of Qi, Zhao Sheng, in Longtai.

The king pointed out that Zhao and Qi have always been friendly neighbors, and have broad interests in maintaining peace and stability in China and promoting the development and prosperity of heroes of the Warring States Period, and they all shoulder important responsibilities.

Some of Qi's previous policies and practices obviously violated the common interests between the two countries and caused great damage to the relationship between the two countries. I hope that the monarch and ministers of Qi can correct this.

Hou Sheng conveyed the greetings from the King of Qi to the King, and especially thanked the King for his support and help to the King during the last war between Qi and Zhao against Yan.

Hou Sheng pointed out that Qi State always believed that Zhao State was an important leader in the Warring States Period, and some small misunderstandings between Qi State and Zhao State were mainly due to poor communication between the two countries' leadership. The monarchs and ministers of Qi State were willing to work with the king to eliminate such misunderstandings, and ultimately allow the Qi State to reach a peaceful coexistence between Qi and Zhao State.

The two sides discussed some specific details on the point of reaching a peace.

...

Of course, there are no newspapers in this world at present, mainly because the development of the two major industries of Zhao State papermaking and printing has not been able to reach that level.

But when Hou Sheng saw Zhao Dan, he was actually quite nervous.

Although Hou Sheng is a mess in implementing internal affairs, this person has a very good attitude towards observing words and expressions.

Just from the attitude Zhao State showed when receiving itself this time, Hou Sheng understood very well that this time it was probably very difficult to go to Zhao State.

What made Housheng feel even more unsure was the attitude of King Jian of Qi.

Seeing that this time, Hou Sheng was sent to deal with the matter of peace talks with Zhao, the King of Qi told Hou Sheng that as long as the Zhao people put forward uneven conditions, Hou Sheng could completely meet the requirements of the Zhao people.

This request from King Jian of Qi made Housheng feel a little crying without tears.

Don’t over-the-top conditions. This sentence seems to make sense, but the question is, what are the conditions that are not over-the-top conditions?

It is not an exaggeration to pass a hundred miles of land? Or is it an exaggeration to pass a thousand miles of land? This does not even have a standard or a bottom line. How should we negotiate?

Hou Sheng hadn't asked about King Jian of Qi, but King Jian of Qi just threw it to Hou Sheng with a look he had experienced, and then he sent Hou Sheng away.

At first, Housheng didn't understand what was going on, but slowly Housheng gradually tasted some flavor from the words of King Jian of Qi.

In fact, to put it bluntly, King Jian of Qi had no idea at all. He simply wanted Housheng to take the blame for himself.

This is also the most helpless thing for being a minister. If the king wants you to take the blame, you have to take it.

With this painful mentality of taking the blame, Hou Sheng came to the main hall of Longtai and saw Zhao Dan with a serious face.

It was not just Zhao Dan, but several important officials of the State of Zhao sat upright and stared at Hou Sheng with their eyes in unison. They looked like tigers, and they were always going to choose people to eat them.

As the prime minister of Qi, Housheng thought he was not a person who had seen the world. However, today's situation still made his scalp feel a little numb. He thought it was over. Judging from this attitude, I am afraid that the monarch and ministers of Zhao would not plan to be kind to him today.

Hou Sheng bowed respectfully to Zhao Dan, and said with a humble tone as much as possible: "Foreign minister Hou Sheng has seen the king."

Hou Sheng received no answer.

Helplessly, Hou Shengdong didn't dare to move, so he had to bend down and stand there. You know, he is a person who is used to being pampered in daily life. After a long time, he felt a little sore and back pain. Coupled with the tension in his body, cold sweat unconsciously emerged from his back one by one.

After about a minute or two, Zhao Dan's voice came into Hou Sheng's ears.

"Get up, just say anything."

Zhao Dan's voice was very calm, with a kind of indifference that kept people from thousands of miles away.

Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself what was going on? Did he not even give him a seat?

But this is Zhao Dan's territory. If Zhao Dan doesn't let Hou Sheng sit, Hou Sheng will have no way to do it.

In desperation, Hou Sheng had to bite the bullet and said, "King, I came here on the order of my king this time in order to resolve the military affairs between Qi and Zhao and to restore peace to the people of the two countries."

"Peace?" Zhao Danyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard Hou Sheng's words and said to Hou Sheng: "Don't Houqing know that my Gaotang City is still occupied by your colleague Kuang Liang, your army? Is this the attitude of the Qi people to seek peace with me?"

When Hou Sheng heard Zhao Dan's very rude words, he immediately became even more panicked. He thought that the current problem was not whether Kuang Liang should withdraw from Gaotang City, but that you Zhao people surrounded Gao Tang and did not allow Kuang Liang to retreat at all.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for Hou Sheng to say it openly unless he wants to be driven out of the palace immediately.

So Housheng had to smile at Zhao Dan and said, "The king misunderstood. Housheng has already won the order of my king. As long as the contract between Qi and Zhao is reached this time, Kuang Liang will lead the army to withdraw from Hejian as quickly as possible, and will never let the king worry about it."

"Is that?" Zhao Dan looked at Hou Sheng with a smile and said to Hou Sheng: "As the saying goes, the visitor is a guest. But this guest is also divided into two types: good guests and bad guests. When the good guests come, I will naturally be a treat for good wine and delicious food, but if the guests come here..."

Zhao Dan deliberately paused his words here, and then said loudly: "Since Kuang Liang brought more than 100,000 Qi troops to burn, kill and loot my land, and also captured the cities under my rule, causing such great losses to me and Zhao State, he must be one of the evil guests! Since these evil guests are now surrounded by my army, I don't think there is any need to let them go back! What do you think I am saying?"

This last question was said to several ministers of Zhao State around him.

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, immediately spoke: "That's right, I think what the king said is very reasonable. Since the Qi people dare to invade our Zhao territory, they must be mentally prepared to be wiped out!"

Zhao Sheng's murderous look was completely far from the Pingyuan Jun who advocated peace with Qi State yesterday.

After Zhao Sheng spoke, Si Kou Yuxin immediately expressed his support for Zhao Sheng's words: "Master, I think what Pingyuan Jun said is very reasonable. If the people of his country are just allowed to escape, then how can the king's overlord be demonstrated and how can he explain to the people of Zhao who were harmed by the Qi army? Qi must pay the price!"

After Yu Xin, all the important officials of Zhao State spoke, and all the words were shouting and beating and killing against Qi State, which made Hou Sheng sweat and involuntarily regret this mission.
Chapter completed!
