Cai Ze, expelled by the State of Zhao, fled to the State of Wei in Korea. On the way, the cooking utensils were robbed. At this time, he heard that Zheng Anping and Wang Ji, who had been appointed by Ying Hou, had committed serious crimes and that Ying Hou's situation was very bad, so he went west to the Qin State.
Cai Ze wanted to see the King of Qin, and he released words to stimulate Ying Hou and said: "Cai Ze, a native of the Yan kingdom, is a rare wise and eloquent person in the world, and he is a great talent, and if he sees the King of Qin, the King of Qin will definitely take away Ying Hou's seal and appoint him as Qin Xiang." ”
After Ying Hou heard this, he sent someone to summon Cai Ze.
When Cai Ze came to see Ying Hou, he just made a gesture, and Ying Hou was not happy, and when he saw cai Ze so arrogant and rude, he was even more angry, so he rebuked Cai Ze and said, "I heard that Mr. Cai Ze wants to replace my phase, is there such a thing?" ”
Cai Ze said: "Yes. ”
Ying Hou said, "Please tell me, how are you going to replace me?" ”
