Chapter 97 The Palace of Letters of the Great Dynasty (15)

If you want to use one word to describe Tian Wen’s mood at this moment, it is probably not enough to just "anger". He felt more that his proud self-esteem was severely humiliated, which made Tian Wen, who was cautious and arrogant, unbearable in any case.

Although Mengchangjun was famous all over the world for his hospitality and respect for the wise and inferior people, and even refused to give in to friends with some low-class people, this was still a means of gaining fame. Tian Wen, who had a low-class family, knew very well what those people at the bottom were thinking. If noble people were willing to give them even a little respect, many people would be willing to repay their lives as a price. [bsp;    The scholar died for his confidant, and the women were to please him. There were many righteous men in poor families, and the rules of the game in this world were like this.

Therefore, there are generally two types of superiors. One is domineering and arrogant, making the people afraid; the other is humble and polite, and the polite and polite are supported by the people. Tian Wen, as Mengchangjun, is undoubtedly the best among the latter.

He was not ashamed of making friends with the untouchables. On the contrary, his deliberate apology and surrender could show his nobility even more, and people in the world would praise his virtues.

Therefore, Mengchangjun raised 3,000 scholars, and many talented people in the world were desperate. It was precisely through the talents and abilities of these disciples that Tian Wen was able to be powerful in Qi State and rule the world with hegemony. No prince dared to refuse to follow. Even if Tian Wen was in a dangerous place when he was in Qin State, he could rely on his strange people to escape from heaven by using the method of "chicken crowing and dog robbery".

However, these tricks that cannot be used to the scene will be at a loss once they face power. For example, this time, Zhao's father used his power to suppress people, and relied on the elite Zhao army to forcefully intervene in the war in Qiyan, and even forced Tian Wen to court. Even though Tian Wen had 3,000 diners, he was at a loss for a while. After asking for instructions from King Qi Tian Di, he swallowed his anger and left the army, and went south to meet with the late prince Tian Fazhang in Hejian, and went to Xindu to pay homage to Zhao's father.

Qi State borders Zhao State. Tian Fazhang first went to Qi State and then entered Zhao State. He had local Qi and Zhao State guards all the way, so he naturally didn't have to worry about his own safety. Therefore, Qi State's mission also traveled lightly and simplified everything, and slowly drove along the post road connecting Linzi and Xindu.

When they arrived ten miles away from Xindu, the Qi delegation stopped where they were.

The curtain of a carriage in the middle of the team was swept open, and a young boy's face came out. Tian Fazhang squinted his eyes and looked around. He listened to the sound of horse hooves slowly approaching behind the carriage, and asked without looking back, "Mengchangjun, what's the point of stopping?"

Tian Wen urged the horse to move forward slowly, and strangled the horse's reins beside Tian Fazhang, and smiled, "The prince doesn't know anything. It's not far from Xindu City. There is the beacon tower of Zhao's army in the distance. I believe that Master Zhao's father will soon know the news of our arrival."

Tian Fazhang showed a confused look on his face and said with a strange look on his head, "Then why haven't we entered the city yet? I've been exhausted after rushing to the road these days. It's like finding a place to take a good bath and have a nap."

Tian Wen showed a sneer on his lips and said, "The prince is calm and restless. Now is not the best time for us to enter the city. Our great country of Qi is not used for the small country of Han and Wei. Although the king did not come in person, the weight of the prince and ministers is enough to let Zhao Yong go out to welcome him. If we enter the city in a hurry, we will lose the prestige of Qi and let the people of Zhao underestimate our country of Qi."

Tian Wen's eyes and ears were everywhere, so although he had not arrived, he had already learned that Zhao Yong had personally come out to welcome King Wei and King Han, so he felt arrogant in his heart. He deliberately did not enter the city directly, but instead stopped the convoy and waited for Zhao's response.

Tian Fazhang said "Oh", nodded without understanding, looked up at the scorching sun with high sun, blinked his eyes, shook his head helplessly, put down the door curtain and retracted his head back to the carriage.

I waited for an hour. The sun was high. Although it was hot, the weather was extremely hot. Under the sun, everyone was sweating profusely. They kept wiping the sweat on their foreheads on the horse's back. They poked their heads and looked pitifully at the road in the distance. From time to time, their eyes passed by Mengchangjun who was still calm.

Even Tian Wen gradually couldn't hold back his anger, and his persistence couldn't help but sway. In an hour, according to the Zhao army's fast horses, they had been traveling back and forth twice. However, the Zhao people have not moved yet, and they have not even sent a messenger to communicate. Tian Wen began to be unable to see what Zhao Yong was thinking. Is Qi's attitude really insignificant to him?

Just when Tian Wen was about to lose his temper, he heard someone shouting in surprise: "The Zhao people are here."

Tian Wen was excited and quickly straightened his back on the horse's back, asking the person who was holding an umbrella for him to hide in the sun. Seeing that the team beside him was a little messy, Tian Wen browed with some displeasure. The guards beside him understood and shouted quickly, and the team became a little compact.

There was a team of Zhao cavalry, with about hundreds of people, and they did not pose a banner. Seeing that the Qi delegation did not slow down, they rode their horses and galloped towards the Qi people. Seeing the Zhao general who was leading the Zhao army, Tian Wen couldn't help but gloomy. He closed his mouth and said nothing, but looked coldly at the Zhao general who was walking towards him.

"Zhao Xin, the commander of the Yulin of Zhao State, please see Mengchangjun." Zhao Xin stepped forward and bowed his fists. He saw a person coming out of the carriage. Seeing his outfit, he guessed that he must be Tian Fazhang, the prince of Qi, so he bowed again. "See the prince, I will be ordered to welcome the lord, and I hope to forgive him."

Tian Wen did not return the gift, but just looked at Zhao Xin with anger and blurted out, "Where is Zhao Yong, why didn't he come?"

"Bold." Before Zhao Xin could reply, a angrily shouted behind him. Li Wei had already urged him to come forward, his sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he pointed at Tian Wen and shouted in a rage. "You dare to call your father's name directly, and you should be punished for death."

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Yulin behind him had already drawn his sword in his hand, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared. On the other hand, most of the Qi people, who were not weaker than the Zhao army, showed fear on their faces. After a while, they remembered their responsibilities and quickly drew their swords to protect the prince and Mengchangjun.

Tian Wen has seen strong winds and waves, and he still looked at Zhao Xin and said coldly, "Emperor Zhao, I just want to ask you, does this action represent the meaning of Zhao State?"

Zhao Xin met with his eyes, but his eyes did not dodge, but raised his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat. Li Wei and others understood, waved their swords into the sheath, and took a step back with their horses in a neat and consistent manner. The exquisite equestrians opened their eyes.

"Your Majesty forgives your crime. Most of these subordinates are unruly men in the army. They do not understand any etiquette. If you have any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing that Zhao Xin was so light and a few words were so light that he covered up such a bad diplomatic conflict. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and wanted to speak, but Tian Fazhang stole the conversation.

Tian Fazhang jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and stepped forward and said, "Haha, this is just a small misunderstanding. Our great country of Qi, why is there no such a bright mind? Zhao Duwei was overly worried."

As the prince of Qi, Tian Fazhang has a high status. Although Zhao Xin is arrogant, he never dared to ask the prince to talk to the prince of Qi on the horse. Seeing him walking to the horse, he hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said, "What the prince said is that Qi and Zhao were originally harmonious and friendly, and this is just a small misunderstanding."

Tian Fazhang laughed, patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder with a smile, and then turned around and raised his eyebrows at his subordinates, "I said it was a misunderstanding, why don't you put away your weapons?"

When all the generals heard this, they all looked at Mengchangjun. Seeing that he nodded slightly, they took back the weapon in his hand.
