What does Su Qin s letter to King Min of Qi mean by asking him to treat each other with the courtesy

The first is to save face, and the second is the implementation of Su Qin's vertical and horizontal strategy. In the letter written by Su Qin to the King of Qi, the content is probably like this, I stayed in the Seven Kingdoms for a period of time, and the king treated me well, but I have no ability, and I have not repaid the kindness of the acquaintance back then, and now I am mixed in the Yan Kingdom is not bad, so that the King of Yan sent 150 carriages to send it, and I want the two big countries of Qi and Yan to reconcile. <>

Your lord, you are a master of the world, even the Duke of Qi Huan can't be compared to you, and I will see myself as Guan Zhong today. O king, if you can appreciate my painstaking efforts, you can receive me with the etiquette of receiving princes. If you disagree, then I can only reduce the number of vehicles that come to visit, up to a maximum of 50.

To be honest, after King Qi saw this letter, he also began to wonder, he had indeed been in Qi Country for a while, but he couldn't eat it, so he could only run to Yan Kingdom. After not seeing this poor boy for a few years, he became Wu Anjun. And the relationship between Qi and Yan has not been good, will there be any problem with losing money this time and directly visiting Qi with the highest specification of 150 carriages?

As the so-called weasel gives New Year's greetings to chickens, it is either a traitor or a thief. And he, Su Qin, turned out to be a common man, even if he was crowned a Wu Anjun in the Yan Kingdom, he was only a doctor, why did he let me use the etiquette of the princes to receive him? You are naturally not a vegetarian, and after thinking about it for a while, you understand what Su Qin means, in fact, Su Qin went to Qi Country this time to show goodwill.

First of all, he gained trust from the king of Hades, and asked them to send 150 carriages to visit the Qi country, which shows that the Yan country attaches great importance to the Qi country. I came to visit this time on behalf of the Yan Kingdom, so you have to use the highest specification to receive me, of course, if the King of Qi looks down on Su Qin, then I will naturally lower the specifications and only send 50 carriages. <>

Su Qin's letter not only saved the face he lost because he was not taken seriously in Qi back then, but also made the two countries of Qi and Yan refriendly, which was also an important part of Su Qin's strategy at that time. Looking at lyricism from our current eyes, it is not difficult for us to see that Su Qin's strategy was so great in this letter back then, and he hid all his purpose through several layers of relationship separation.

Someone wrote a letter from the Yan Kingdom to King Qi Min, and the letter said"I have lived in Qi for many years, and I never thought that this would be a reward. ”。

Today, according to Yan's order, I will join the two countries in 150 vehicles. Although Duke Huan could not find a king, the king was the master of the world. I dare to take Guan Zhong for granted.

Secondly, the task of 150 vehicles is of an unprecedented high standardThe Yan State has always been hostile to the Qi State. Why did it suddenly change so much, as the saying goes, there is no conspiracy, only politeness and traitors or thieves.

Finally, SueQinIt turned out to be just a civilian,Even if Yan Guo awarded him an official title, it was only at the ministerial level. Is it too much to ask him to be courteous to the princes? The king of Qi held his chin and thought for a long time.

The phrase "Please treat your subordinates as if they were princes" never remained in his eyes. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and King Min couldn't help but smile and wanted to understand something.

If you guessed rightThe message behind this letter should be like this, wanting to repay the kindness of King Xian and the king, he persuaded King Yan to be kind to the king and led a huge delegation of 150 cars to visit. For the Qi State, it was of great significance to obtain the friendship of the Yan State at this time. I have made a great contribution to the country of Qi.

How do you express yourself? If you honor me, treat me as a prince. Of course, it's okay if I look down on me.

I'll reduce the size of the task.

Wang Qimin breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to SuQinrequirements,He didn't even think that there was a big conspiracy behind the letter, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was the most daring plot ever conceived, the most elaborate design, the most gigantic pattern, and all the bitter and beautiful tricks were just pediatrics.

is to hope that he can treat himself like a prince, and both of them treat each other with courtesy.

I just don't want the two sides to become enemies, and I hope that the other party can treat themselves like princes.

Both of them were very influential figures at the time, and they were equal, so they asked for the courtesy of the princes.

Both of them are the same bachelors, and King Qi Min must of course treat each other with the courtesy of princes.

Even if it is both friend or foe, they will not kill each other, so treat each other with courtesy.

I hope that we can coexist peacefully, and not become like enemies.

It is to live peacefully, not to live with resentment, and to treat everyone.

This person is still very good, I don't want to have an argument.

I feel that in fact, both of them are the same bachelor, and of course King Qi Min should treat each other with the courtesy of princes.

Su Qin is currying favor!

If I guessed correctly, the message behind this letter should be like this-I, Su Qin, in order to repay the favor of the first king and the king, persuaded the king of Yan to take the initiative to show favor to the king, and led a huge delegation of one hundred and fifty chariots to visit. For Qi Guo, it is of great significance to gain the friendship of Yan Guo at this time. I have made such a great contribution to the Qi country, how can the king have to show something, right?

If the king thinks of me, he treats me as a prince. Of course, it doesn't matter if you look down on me, I'll lower the size of the mission, and whether or not we can achieve the goal of friendship between the two countries is another matter.

It is to receive him with the etiquette and specifications of receiving princes, in order to show his rights and status.

Because Su Qin was afraid that this person would kill him at that time, he said that he would ensure that his life was worry-free through these high-sounding words.

However, I don't know if there was any other conspiracy in the end of this letter, but it can be seen that Su Qin is still a person who knows how to be grateful and attaches great importance to affection.

It means that Su Qin is begging for peace with King Qi Min and currying favor with him, hoping that the two will not become enemies, and will live in peace from now on and treat each other with courtesy, which is the best result.

Su Qin was instructed by King Yan to lead a chariot to the country of Qi, wanting to make friends between Qi and Yan, and Su Qin wanted the king to treat him as a prince. This is the courtesy of the princes.

"Treat each other with the courtesy of the princes" seems to be Su Qin's arrogance on the surface, and he dared to ask King Qi Min to treat him with the same courtesy as he treated the princes, but in fact he was currying favor with King Qi Min. In his letter to King Qi Min, the original meaning was this: In order to repay you, the king, I, Su Qin, specially persuaded the king of Yan to show favor to the king, hoping to attach importance to the friendship between our two countries.

Overall, this is a letter of summation.

The message behind this letter should be like this, wanting to repay the kindness of King Xian and the king, he persuaded King Yan to be kind to the king and led a huge delegation of 150 cars to visit. For the Qi State, it was of great significance to obtain the friendship of the Yan State at this time. I have made a great contribution to the country of Qi.

How do you express yourself? If you honor me, treat me as a prince. Of course, it's okay if I look down on me.

I'll reduce the size of the task.
