"Dear guest, please come this way."

The waiter's figure was in front, and his voice was full of humility. The envoy from Hanzhong Juhou was led to the door of Prime Minister Gongsun Qi's study.

"Please sir, please stay here for a moment while I go and report back to the Prime Minister."

The waiter was so polite and he asked for something, so naturally the envoy of Marquis Ju would not refuse at all.

"It's time to work."

The figure of the waiter disappeared from sight, and soon followed a sound of footsteps approaching from far away, before returning to the envoy of Marquis Ju.

"Dear guests, please come in. The Prime Minister is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you."

After thanking the waiter again, the envoy of Marquis Ju was finally able to enter the study in front of him.

His eyes glanced around subconsciously, but the room in front of him did not leave any special impression on the envoy of Marquis Ju.

There are no gorgeous decorations or exquisite utensils. The only thing that can make people take a second look is the large number of slippers.

Looking over the surrounding slippers, the envoy of Juhou finally saw the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Qi, who was sitting there after several cases.

At this moment, Gongsun Qi seemed to know nothing about the arrival of Juhou's envoy, and was still reading the scroll in his hand with concentration.

It wasn't until Juhou's envoy stood not far ahead for a while that Gongsun Qi seemed to belatedly aware that someone was approaching.

He raised his head to look at the person who came, quickly put down the slip in his hand, and said in a more apologetic voice, "I was too slow to wait. I didn't notice the distinguished guest arriving."

"The Prime Minister is from the Wei State and is busy with government affairs, so how can he be called indifferent."

The envoy of Juhou knew very well what kind of distinguished status the old man in front of him held in the Wei court.

The conversation with him was naturally mixed with more caution, "It is really a blessing for me and Zhu Guo that Xiang Guo can take the time to see me."

"Hahaha……"

After a burst of hearty laughter, Gongsun Qi raised his right hand and said loudly: "Okay, envoy, please take your seat quickly."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

After Ju Hou's envoy settled down after making his plans, he immediately met Gongsun Qi's smiling gaze.

"I wonder what the envoy's intention is when he comes to Anyi?"

Gongsun Qi was so straightforward that the envoy from Marquis Ju thought for a moment and immediately stated the purpose of his trip.

"Xiang Guo, I am here this time to help our country of Ju and Wei to reconcile."

"Ju Guo and Wei Dynasty?"

After listening to the explanation given by the envoy of Juhou, Gongsun Qi's face immediately flashed with confusion.

"If I remember correctly, the current Marquis of Ju is granted by the King of Shu, and the State of Ju is also under the rule of the State of Shu. How about..."

"Don't hide anything from the Prime Minister..."

Facing the questions raised by Gongsun Qi, the envoy from Juhou immediately began to answer.

From the relationship between Ju and Shu, to the gradually deteriorating relationship between Juhou and the current prince of Shu, to Juhou’s friendly attitude towards Wei.

After explaining everything, Juhou's envoy immediately said: "If the Wei Dynasty does not give up, our country of Ju is willing to follow the example of Qin and Zhao and regard the Wei Dynasty as the suzerain."

"If the Wei Dynasty can help me seize the throne of King of Shu, the whole land of Hanzhong and the Kingdom of Ju will be dedicated to the Wei Dynasty."

After listening to the conditions given by the envoy of Marquis Ju, Gongsun Qi immediately fell into silence, as if he was weighing the balance in his mind.

…

"What the State of Zhao said, you haven't given an answer to the envoy of Marquis Ju?" In the palace of Anyi, Wei Feng, the king of Wei, asked softly with a thoughtful look on his face after listening to Gongsun Qi's introduction.

"Exactly." Faced with Wei Feng's question, Gongsun Qi immediately responded: "I only said that the matter is of great importance and must be left to the King of Wei to decide."

After receiving a reply from his Prime Minister, Wei Feng quickly turned his eyes to the other side, "Prince, what do you think?"

"My son thinks that I, the great Wei Dynasty, should support the prince of Shu." Facing Wei Feng's gaze, the prince Wei Shen directly expressed his attitude.

"Tell me why."

"Here."

After bowing slightly and saluting, Wei Shen immediately said loudly: "First, Crown Prince Du and Empress Du are the kings of Shu, Zhengshuo. I, the Great Wei, support his legitimate name."

"Secondly, the Shu Kingdom wants to donate the land of Hanzhong in exchange for reconciliation with the Wei Dynasty. Our army of the Wei Dynasty can seize the land of Hanzhong without any bloodshed."

"Thirdly, the Kingdom of Shu is willing to accept me, the Great Wei, as its suzerain. Through this, my Great Wei can cut off one of the wings of the Chu Kingdom, and even get a boost."

After explaining the benefits of Wei supporting the prince of Shu, Wei Shen began to push back.

"If we, the Great Wei, support Ju Hou, we will immediately become enemies with the prince, and the Shu Kingdom may completely fall to the Chu Kingdom."

"Even if we, the Wei Dynasty, send troops to help Marquis Ju ascend the throne of Chu King, it is still uncertain whether we can acquire the land of Hanzhong, and our Wei Dynasty will suffer casualties."

"To subjugate the enemy without fighting, the prince's words are quite reasonable."

After listening to his son's analysis, Wei Feng also believed that this was indeed the best choice for Wei.

Even though Du Jiameng, the Marquis of Ju, offered almost the same conditions, the current monarch of Shu is still King Dushan of Shu, the father of Crown Prince Du.

This reason alone has tilted the balance a little towards the prince, and this is something that Wei needs to consider.

"Report..."

Just as Wei Feng was thinking about it and was about to make a decision, a report came to the front of the three people along with a burst of footsteps.

After receiving a silk letter from the palace servant who came to report, Wei Feng's eyes kept wandering upward, and the decision he was about to make slowly converged during this period.

After a while, Wei Feng handed the silk book to the prince and prime minister on the side, and the expression in his eyes began to become serious.

"Xiangguo, Prince, let's take a look."

"oh!"
