Diplomat?
Many people began to wonder, who is this diplomat?

However, scholars will understand in their hearts that this must be an envoy.

In other words, Fairy is going to talk about envoys in this issue.

Wuyou had a smile on his face: "There are really many famous diplomats in ancient my country. Let's take a look at some diplomats that I know. Their stories have been passed down to later generations."

"Diplomacy is really important to a country. Over the years, many diplomats are like shining pearls, exuding their brilliance. Their courage, wisdom, loyalty, and integrity have lasted for thousands of years. It’s still influencing future generations.”

"Here, let's talk about the first one. Everyone should be familiar with this one, that is Yan Zi."

Qin Dynasty
"It's him." The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, then thought of Yan Zi's various deeds, and couldn't help but nodded: "He can indeed be called an outstanding diplomat."

Speaking of Yanzi, the First Emperor thought of that very powerful figure in Qin State again, with a smile on his face.

"Yan Zi, whose given name is Ying, whose courtesy name is Zhong, and whose posthumous title is Ping, is customarily called Yan Pingzhong. After the death of his father Yan Ruo, he succeeded him as a high-ranking official in the state of Qi. He served successively as Ling Gong, Zhuang Gong, and Jinggong in three dynasties, and he served as assistant minister for more than fifty years. , famous among the princes for his political foresight and diplomatic ability."

"What did Yan Zi do?"

"Well, let's not talk about how he persuaded people and how frugal he was. Let's just talk about his deeds that are famous for later generations."

"There are also stories about Yan Zi in later generations' textbooks, and many idioms also come from Yan Zi. Let's talk about them one by one. The first thing we will talk about is the story of Yan Zi's mission to Chu."

"One year, Yan Zi was sent as an envoy to the state of Chu. The king of Chu knew that Yan Zi was short and short, and wanted to humiliate him to humiliate the state of Qi. So he had a small hole opened next to the gate and waited until Yan Zi came. When he arrived, he asked Yanzi to enter the city through the small cave."

"And how did Yanzi do it?"

"Ordinary people would be very angry when encountering this kind of thing. They would either turn around and return home, or have a quarrel. But Yanzi was not like this. He was not in a hurry, and smiled and said to the officials of Chu State. The Dog Kingdom used Gou Dong, but now he was on an envoy to the Chu State. How could he use Gou Dong? The Chu State officials had no choice but to open the gate and invite Yan Zi to enter the city."

"The idiom "Nan Ju and Bei Zhi" also comes from Yan Zi. The King of Chu wanted to humiliate the banquet, so he discussed it with the ministers he trusted, and the ministers gave him a way. Yan Zi came, and the King of Chu entertained Yan Zi. At this time, the minister tied up a man and passed by. The King of Chu asked: Who is this? The minister replied: He is from Qi. The King of Chu asked again what crime he committed, and the minister replied that he committed the crime of stealing."

"At this time, Yan Zi was sitting next to him and listened. He responded very quickly and said to the King of Chu: I heard that the oranges in the south of the Yangtze River are big and sweet, but the fruits produced in the north of the Yangtze River are small and bitter. The same trees, but because of the Different water and soil produce different fruits. The people of Qi lived in peace and worked hard in Qi, but why did they start stealing when they arrived in Chu? Could it be that the soil and water of Chu nurtured thieves?"

"This time, King Chu's attempt to humiliate Yan Zi not only failed, but he also brought trouble on himself."

"Well, I have to say that the King of Chu is also idle. He is looking for trouble when he has nothing to do. If he doesn't govern the country well, why is he always thinking about humiliating others?"

"Everyone knows the idiom "Two peaches kill three warriors." It also comes from Yanzi. There were three warriors in Qi who were arrogant and disrespectful of etiquette. The king of Qi wanted to get rid of them. But these three warriors were very brave, so Yanzi thought of them. There is a way to ask the King of Qi to give two peaches to three warriors to provoke internal fighting among them. Sure enough, the three warriors all died fighting for the two peaches. This is the famous "two peaches kill three warriors."

People from all over time and space found it very interesting.

But some people also heard some truth.

There are many smart people in all time and space who cannot afford to study because of poverty. They just don’t have anyone to teach them, and Wuyou’s live broadcasts from time to time have made them understand a lot of things.

Now that they heard Yan Zi's story, they felt more and more enlightened and began to think of strategies.

Interstellar age
While watching the live broadcast, Xinxing people marveled at the wisdom of the ancients. "Yanzi is so smart."

"Yeah, I didn't expect ancient humans to be so smart."

"I always thought that ancient humans were uncivilized and ignorant. Only now do I know their wisdom."

"The story of Yanzi can be written into textbooks so that children can learn it from an early age."

"Well, this is a good idea. I agree to include it in the textbook."

“Many of the stories told by the anchors can be written into textbooks.”

"There are also poems..."

Wuyou remembered that some of the stories about Yan Zi were made into cartoons, so she searched the Internet and played them for everyone to see.

After playing the cartoon, she continued: "The next person is also very powerful. Who is it? It's Zhang Yi."

"When it comes to Zhang Yi, many people put him and Su Qin together. Their combined vertical and horizontal skills are very famous in history. There are some things about the two people recorded in the history books, and they were written as rivals at the same time. , but the Mawangdui Han Dynasty silk script unearthed in 1973 shows that Su Qin was much younger than Zhang Yi. When Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin, Su Qin had not yet entered the political arena."

"One of Zhang Yi's most famous things is to lobby the six countries, break the art of unification and verticalization, and was appreciated by the King of Qin and appointed as the Prime Minister of Qin."

"And Su Qin is also a very powerful diplomat. He lobbied the six countries to unite to deal with Qin. When talking about Su Qin, they will talk about him as the prime minister of the six countries. I feel that his reputation is even greater than Zhang Yi."

"Well, we won't talk about these two in detail. The one we are going to talk about next, his integrity has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and it is still admirable and moving to this day."

"Who is he? He is Su Wu."

"Children today all know the story of Su Wu shepherding sheep. In 100 AD, Su Wu was ordered to go on a mission to the Huns. He was detained and made things difficult for the Huns by the nobles. However, no matter what difficulties he encountered, Su Wu was unyielding. He was detained by the Huns for 19 years and still remained He kept his original intention and wanted to return to the Han Dynasty. At that time, Su Wu was sent to Beihai to shepherd sheep. Seeing that Su Wu was unwilling to surrender, the Shanyu said that if you let the rams give birth, they would let you go back. Su Wu knew that it was impossible, but he still insisted on herding sheep. Even though he had nothing to eat and drink, and ate grass roots and drank snow water, he never gave in for a moment. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the old Su Wu was able to return to his country."

"There was another famous diplomat in the Han Dynasty, and that was Zhang Qian during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

汉朝
"Zhang Qian?"

Liu Che couldn't sit still.

Since being able to be counted by the fairy means that Zhang Qian must be very famous in history, then what achievements has he made?

Zhang Qian had just been sent as an envoy, and Liu Che didn't even know what he could bring back from this mission.

But now, Liu Che knew for sure that Zhang Qian must have succeeded this time, and he must have done something extraordinary.
