West Chu's Left Prime Minister's surname was Yan, and his name was Prime Minister Guo. His name was Ziying, and he was also known as Yanzi. He was forty years old. Although his appearance was strange and his body was as short as a ten-year-old child, he was loyal, honest, kind and generous.
I dare to remonstrate with you.
To the minister, can tolerate each other for the country.
To the people, can love the people like children.
One's heart is for the public, regardless of personal gain.
He was resourceful and had no miscalculations.
Proud and chivalrous, without losing the national system.
Even his enemies, although they hated him to the bone, were completely convinced by him.
The ten prime ministers, ten officials, and ten weirdos of the Heaven Roll were all listed on the three lists. (The top ten weirdos of the Heaven Rankings were ranked because of their strange appearance.）The Heaven Rankings had a four-word evaluation of him,'Little cunning, great wisdom, fierce bones, heroic heart.'
After Yang Ying, the Min Emperor of West Shu, succeeded to the throne, Yanzi represented West Chu and went to West Shu to attend the new emperor's inauguration ceremony.
At this moment, Yang Ying had already transformed from a virtuous Crown Prince into a violent and incompetent ruler. Since the West Shu and West Chu were founded 500 years ago, they had been rivals for 200 years.
The country war that lasted for two hundred years not only caused the two countries to waste money and manpower, but also caused countless deaths and injuries. It caused the population of the two countries to plummet and almost shook the foundation of the country. Thus, 300 years ago, the two countries agreed to a 100-year truce to recuperate.
Two hundred years ago, a rebellion broke out in the West Chu, and the country was on the verge of collapse.
West Shu sent more troops and food to help West Chu quell the rebellion in the country.
At this point, the two countries had completely resolved their past grudges and formed an alliance.
In this day and age, the Turkic War God Ashina Fengxian, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Rankings, had single-handedly intimidated the ten kingdoms of the world. Everyone knew that the Heavenly Wolf and the Moon had encroached on the heart of the Central Plains.
Liyang had three saints guarding it, so it could protect itself.
Some of the other countries drank poison to quench their thirst and attached themselves to the Turks.
Or they could form an alliance and stay together to tide over life and death.
The real purpose of Yanzi's trip to West Shu was to represent the West Chu King and the new Emperor Yang Ying to renew the offensive and defensive alliance.
However, Yan Zi did not expect that after arriving in Western Shu, the new emperor, Yang Ying, had been avoiding him. He only arranged for Zuo Lun, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, to receive Yanzi at the Golden Court Posthouse.
It should be known that the Left was the most respected in the Central Plains since ancient times. Yanzi was the Left Prime Minister of West Chu. Although the Minister of Rites was responsible for the diplomatic ceremony, his official position was one rank lower than Yanzi. The Emperor of Shu, Yang Ying, had only sent the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites, the Right Minister, to receive Yanzi. This move was really 'rudeness'.
Not only that, it was said that the fatuous ruler of Western Shu, who had half of his bloodline from the Giant Spirits, publicly declared,""Is there no one in West Chu? He actually let such an ugly person with short legs take the position of Left Minister.”Such a strange person, even if there is a little talent, but also difficult to use.
I would like to see how strong this little one is to be ranked first among the ten officials and ten ministers on the Heaven Roll.
Jun, don't joke!
Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu, said that he would teach Yanzi a lesson, so he must keep his word.
He arranged for people to 'embed' five large glass mirrors on the ceiling of Yan Zi's room.'
There were also dozens of glass mirrors placed in the pavilions and corridors of the Golden Court Posthouse.
Beside the main entrance of the Golden Court Posthouse, there was an exquisite door that was similar in height to Yanzi.
Yanzi had a chronic illness. If the food he ate was not fresh, he would have difficulty breathing. In serious cases, he would even cough and vomit blood.
Yang Ying arranged for the royal chefs in the palace to deliver the 'freshest' delicacies to Yanzi for three meals a day.
For example, vegetables that were still stained with soil and feces, livestock and fish that had just been slaughtered and still had blood and scales on them, rice that had not been shelled, and even ugly dates that had been eaten by insects and rats and were euphemistically called 'non-toxic and harmless'.
With his wisdom and ruthlessness, Yanzi resolved all these 'insults' from the Emperor of Shu.
First of all, Yanzi had his attendants point the dozens of large glass mirrors placed in the pavilions and corridors at the sun in the sky at dawn, noon, and sunset every day.
The dozens of glass mirrors reflected a seven-colored light that shot into the sky in the courtyard of the Golden Court Posthouse. Almost half of the Western Shu Nation's Rising Sun City could see it.
In the streets, it was widely rumored that a virtuous saint had moved into the Golden Court. That was why there was a seven-colored light shining in it every day.
Two hundred years ago, there was an internal strife in West Chu.
At that time, the Prince of Western Shu said to the Emperor of Shu,""West Chu is in chaos. If our Shu doesn't do anything, how would we know that there won't be disobedient people in Shu who will follow the example of Chu? Lips are gone and teeth are cold. How can we not save them with a strip of water?”
In the end, under the strong remonstrance of the Prince of West Shu, the Emperor of Shu agreed to let the Prince of West Shu personally lead the army to help West Chu.
After the chaos of Chu was pacified, the new Emperor of Chu was grateful for the help of the Prince of Western Shu and gave his dragon robe and golden sash to the Prince of Western Shu.
The Prince of Western Shu also gave his crown prince jade belt back to the new Emperor of Chu.
The two's actions were exactly in line with the words of the Prince of Western Shu,'How can you not save him if he is only a strip of water?'
Later, the prince of Western Shu succeeded to the throne and became the famous emperor of Shu. From then on, the alliance between the two countries was also known as the alliance of a strip of water.
On this diplomatic trip to Western Shu, Yanzi requested the Chu Emperor to bring out the jade belt of the Western Shu Crown Prince from the royal family's treasure vault.
After the exquisite door was repaired, Yanzi invited the Crown Prince's jade belt in front of Zuo Lun, the Right Minister of Rites of Western Shu.
Then, he pointed at the exquisite door that was 'similar in height' to him and said,""I know that someone built that short door to mock and humiliate my height. Although I'm not tall, I have tough bones. This is the crown prince jade belt that was given to the new emperor of Chu State when Xing Zong of West Shu was the crown prince. It symbolizes that the two countries are separated by only a strip of water and will always be good neighbors.
"Today, someone built such a small door in the Golden Court Inn. This is not only humiliating me, but also humiliating the king of Chu. There is a saying that goes,'If the king is humiliated, the courtiers will die.' Help me tell the Emperor of Shu that I, Yan Ziying, can leave this small door.
However, I will walk through the small door with this crown prince jade belt in my hand. After I walk out of the small door, I will lay this crown prince jade belt on the stone lion at the door. Then, under its verification, I will use my head to compare with the stone lion to see if the stone of your Shu Kingdom is harder or if my head is harder.
When Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu, found out about this, he was so angry that he smashed three glass cups in front of Zuo Lun, the Right Minister of Rites. He shouted,"Let him hit me, let him hit me. I want to see if it's the stone of my Western Shu or the head of that shorty Yan."'
It was all thanks to Sword King Yang Zhong's kind words that he managed to calm down the 'furious' Emperor of Shu, Yang Ying.
In the end, Yang Ying still pinched her nose and ordered people to re-build the exquisite door.
As for the 'fresh food' sent by Yang Ying, Yanzi didn't use his wisdom or his unyielding attitude to resolve it like before.
Instead, he asked Zuo Lun to thank the Emperor of Shu on his behalf.
Then, she obediently ate all the food in front of Jolon. He even asked his followers to buy many similar 'fresh food' from the market to eat.
As he ate, he said,"The Emperor of Shu is really too hospitable to entertain Yanzi with such fresh food."”
Yanzi laughed as he ate, and laughed as he ate. In the end, he even laughed until his mouth and nose spurted blood. All the attendants he brought knelt in the courtyard of the Golden Court Posthouse without persuading him. However, everyone wore linen clothes, white cloth wrapped around their heads, and a knife pressed against their necks. Once Minister Yan died, they would follow him.
This time, Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu, was completely terrified.
If Yanzi's words of 'better to die than die' were just a threat.
Then this time, he was really going to fight with his life.
Sword King Yang Zhong personally 'carried' the two best imperial physicians in the palace and used the Sword Control Technique to fly to the Golden Court Inn. When he rushed over with the two imperial physicians, Yanzi was already bleeding from all seven orifices and unconscious.
An attendant handed the letter that Yanzi had written to Yang Ying before eating the 'fresh food', to Yang Zhong, the Sword King, and asked him to present it to the Emperor of Shu. Yang Zhong used his flying sword to send the letter to the palace. After the imperial guards checked it and confirmed that there was no poison on it, he presented it to Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu.
Yanzi wrote in the letter that he had resolved the difficulties the Emperor of Shu had made for him twice because he was the envoy of the West Chu Kingdom and represented the King of the West Chu Kingdom. Yanzi can be humiliated, but Xichu cannot be humiliated.
However, he could not do it thrice. He had already angered the Emperor of Shu twice. If he went against the Emperor of Shu a third time, it would definitely affect the alliance between the two countries.
Therefore, he, Yanzi, was willing to give his life to appease the Emperor of Shu's anger. He hoped that after his death, the Emperor of Shu would no longer make things difficult for the other envoys sent by the West Chu.
The Turks were powerful and had the intention of annexing the Central Plains. Only by working together could the two countries resist the Turks.
I hope that the Emperor of Shu will not act rashly at the critical moment of life and death between the two countries. Yanzi is willing to die to appease the anger of the Emperor of Shu and maintain the alliance between the two countries.
Even the ruthless and fatuous Emperor Yang Ying could not help but sigh after reading the letter left by Yanzi."Chu is fortunate to have Yan Zi."
After that, Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu, personally brought the Imperial Advisor, Perfected Shi Xuan, to the Golden Court Posthouse and ordered the Imperial Advisor to use the Heaven Mending Temple's treasure, the Hundred Grass Ruler, to treat Yanzi's life.
He also took out a Golden Lotus of Virtue from the White Horse Temple and three stalks of Seven Treasures Lingzhi from the inner court's secret vault to extend Yanzi's life.
With the power of the Western Shu, Yanzi was finally pulled back from the gates of hell.
After Yanzi woke up, Yang Ying, the Emperor of Shu, stood in front of Yanzi's bed and paid his respects to him. He said," As long as Yanzi is alive, West Shu and West Chu will always be good neighbors.”
