Hou is outside the Chui Gong Hall... Fortunately, Your Majesty, he is young and strong, and he recovered from his minor illness quickly..."

Listening to Tang Ju and Fan Ying drunkenly talking about Wei Wang Zhao Run's daily life, Han Wangran listened with great interest. While they regarded him as a confidant, he was secretly worried: Zhao Run was so talented and so diligent, how could Han Ran catch up with him?

It was a pity that Tang Ju and Fan Ying didn't seem to drink much, and they soon became so drunk that they could no longer talk normally. Therefore, Han Wangran, who was a little regretful, could only ask someone to send Tang Ju and Fan Ying back to the post house.

.

Of course, he would not have thought that Tang Ju and Fan Ying, who seemed to be very drunk, immediately sobered up and smiled at each other when there was no one else around after returning to the post house.

.

They were quite proud that they could get them drunk even with Korean drinks? Don't these Koreans know that the first test for him as an official in the Ministry of Rites of the State of Wei was his drinking capacity?

You can't even drink as well as others, but you still want to join the Ministry of Rites and be sent as an envoy to other countries?

After looking at each other and laughing, Tang Ju said to Fan Ying in a low voice: "Most of the things your Majesty ordered have been implemented. Now it's time to say goodbye."

"One more thing to go." Fan Ying nodded and said, "Tomorrow you and I will meet with King Han again, and then you and I..."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words into Tang Ju's ear, and Tang Ju nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Tang Ju and Fan Ying went to Jigong again to ask for an audience with Han Wangran.

Han Wangran had a rest last night, which is no wonder. After all, he had been diligently handling government affairs for two days and one night. Even though Han Wangran was strong, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

But maybe he was stimulated by Wei Wang Zhao Run's diligent deeds, so Han Wangran got up early to deal with government affairs after only sleeping for less than three hours.

Not to mention, because of the firm belief in his heart to "catch up with Zhao Run and surpass Wei Guo", Han Wangran was still in high spirits even though he only slept for less than three hours.

After a while, Tang Ju and Fan Ying were summoned by Han Wangran.

After seeing King Han, Tang Ju said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, King Han, we must leave today."

At this time, Han Wangran was still trying to get more information about Wei Wang Zhao Run from these two people, but he was not willing to let them go easily. So he smiled and said, "Why are the two envoys so anxious to return home?

Although Jicheng is not as prosperous as Daliang, it still has scenery that Daliang has never seen before.

Furthermore, Jicheng's unique "chestnut wine" is a treasure that nourishes qi, strengthens the spleen, and strengthens the stomach and intestines. I am not boasting. Most of the chestnut wines in the world come from Korea, and Yuyang chestnut wine is even more famous.

A treasure among wines. It’s rare for these two distinguished envoys to come to our Jidu, so don’t miss it.”

After hearing this, Tang Ju and Fan Ying showed a look of yearning on their faces.

It cannot be denied that Han Wangran is not boasting. Yuyang chestnut wine is really a rare treasure among wines. It is not that it is delicious, but that this wine is indeed good for qi, spleen and stomach. Therefore, Wei Guo

The chambermaid often went to Bolangsha Port City to purchase this wine and prepare it for Zhao Run and the concubines in the harem.

Compared with Shangdang wine, the price of Yuyang chestnut wine is not low. Although Tang Ju and Fan Ying, as officials of the Ministry of Rites, could not afford it, drinking it every day was indeed difficult to support financially.

However, in the end, Tang Ju and Fan Ying politely rejected Han Wangran's kindness.

Seeing that the two of them were determined to leave, Han Wangran couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "The two envoys are eager to return home, do they have something important to do?"

"It's nothing important." Tang Ju shook his head and explained, "It's just that the domestic court's regulations have been stricter recently, and we don't dare to abolish public affairs for personal reasons."

Fan Ying, who was standing by, said with a smile: "My Majesty is also so diligent, how can we, the ministers, be lazy?"

After hearing this, Han Wangran nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "Since the two of you have decided to go, I will not try to persuade you to stay. Let's do it this way. Today, I held a banquet to see you off. You two drank this meal.

How about we start the journey again after drinking?"

"Forget it, forget it."

Tang Ju and Fan Ying waved their hands repeatedly, looking frightened, as if they were afraid because they were so drunk yesterday.

Seeing this, King Han did not force himself, so he nodded and allowed Tang Ju and Fan Ying to leave Jicheng and return to Wei.

Looking at the departing figures of Tang Ju and Fan Ying, Han Wangran couldn't help but murmured: "What goes above and below will lead to results..."

In his opinion, it was precisely because Wei King Zhao Run was so diligent that the ministers of Wei State would also abide by their duties, and in this way, the country would become stronger and stronger.

This is really not good news for South Korea.

After sitting for a while, Han Wangran suddenly ordered: "Ma Kuo, tell someone to announce that General Bao Yuan, Han Chao, and Zhao Zhuo will enter the palace."

"yes!"

Ma Kuo clasped his fists and retreated.

About half an hour later, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo arrived at Ji Palace.

After bowing to Han Wangran, Han Chao asked: "I wonder why the king called you?"

Han Wangran said: "I have also summoned General Baoyuan. When the general arrives, I will talk to you in detail."

Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo nodded.

After about an hour of burning incense, the Korean general Bao Yuan came to the side hall and saluted Han Wangran with clasped fists.

After inviting Bao Yuan to sit down in a seat on one side of the palace, Han Wangran took a look at Bao Yuan, Ma Kuo, Han Chao, and Zhao Zhuo in the palace to see what the Wei envoys Tang Ju and Fan Ying had come to Jicheng for.

I said it once - mainly to Bao Yuan, so that the general would not be confused.

"The State of Wei intends to organize a national alliance in Daliang?"

After hearing this, Bao Yuan frowned slightly.

As if he had guessed Bao Yuan's thoughts, Han Wangran calmly analyzed: "General, don't worry too much. This time Wei is hosting the alliance, it has nothing to do with us, Korea. In the final analysis, Zhao Run just wants to show off his force and use it."

All the countries in the Central Plains surrendered to him, at least in name."

After a pause, he continued: "I would like to ask the general for this matter."

After hearing this, Bao Yuan immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes!... But I don't know when the general will set off?"

"There's no rush."

Han Wangran waved his hand and said: "According to what the two Wei envoys said, the date of the alliance meeting will be after the beginning of the next spring. However, considering the inconvenience of traveling from Jidu to Daliang, the general will leave as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Bao Yuan nodded.

"This time I am going to Daliang of the State of Wei, the two beloved ministers Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo are accompanying the general." Han Wangran pointed to Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, and then told them: "When I go to Daliang, I have three things to ask you.

1. Try to negotiate with Qin’s envoys, try your best to persuade them, and end the war between Qin and Korea. If Qin asks for benefits, the three of you will discuss it on your own. But if Qin is greedy, then drop the matter...

Although the war with Qin has hindered our country's development, Korea will not be reduced to the point of compromising with the border barbarians."

Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo nodded and kept this matter in mind. After all, General Bao Yuan did not know how to negotiate, so in the end this matter would have to fall on them.

"Second, try to find out the current status of the Wei State and its actions in the next few years." Han Wangran looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Although we, the Republic of Korea, were defeated miserably in this battle between Wei and South Korea, we are not discouraged. Thinking from the distance.

At that time, the Wei State was defeated by our country, lost its Shangdang, and its three rivers were stolen by Yin Rong. However, King Zhao Si of Wei knew his shame and became brave. He worked hard for more than 20 years and finally defeated our country in Zhao Run's generation...Since

Wei can grow from weak to strong, and so can I, Korea!"

After a pause, he continued: "In order to defeat the Wei State, conspiracies and tricks are just heresy. The key lies in whether we, Korea, can break through and stand up again, and catch up with the Wei State in terms of national strength... The Wei State is currently vigorously building up.

Domestically, when you go to Wei State, you need to pay attention. If you know of any decrees that apply to our country, keep them in mind, so that our country can follow the example of Wei State and not be left far behind by Wei State."

Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo nodded.

Compared with negotiating with Qin's envoys, this matter is the most important thing.

"As for the third thing, that is to find a way to form an alliance with Wei... Since we can't defeat this behemoth for the time being, we should try to become his ally. In short, as long as our country is not involved, we might as well give in and let it go for the time being.

"Follow it and wait for the future!" Han Wangran said sternly.

After hearing this last paragraph, everyone in the hall felt a little uncomfortable.

I think back then, he was the largest country in South Korea, suppressed Wei in the southwest, and competed with Qi in the southeast. He seemed to be the leading power in the Central Plains.

But now it has fallen to this point, and can only humblely show its favor to Wei in exchange for precious opportunities to develop itself.

But no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how uncomfortable he is, there is nothing he can do. Now South Korea can only hide its capabilities and bide its time, curb all the sharp edges that will arouse Wei's vigilance, focus on developing itself, and quietly wait for the opportunity to defeat Wei.

Two days later, South Korea sent General Bao Yuan as an envoy, and Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo as deputy envoys, and embarked on a journey to Daliang, the capital of Wei Dynasty.
