Chapter 91 Great Dynasty Xin Palace 9

On the post road to various countries, a team of Zhao cavalry with red flags galloped to their heart's content, but they beat the whips hard, and did not care about the endurance of the horses. They carried the red flag symbolizing the envoy, carried the letter written by the master to the monarchs of various countries, and kept galloping all the way to the capitals of all countries.

Soon, the cavalry of the State of Zhao spread the meaning of the master all over the world. Zhao Yong's letter was simple and clear, but only a few words, and told them rudely. I, Zhao Yong, will invite kings and princes of all countries to meet in the world.

Although it is an invitation, there is no doubt about coercion. You should know that inviting the kings and crown princes of a country to come to your own city, which itself is a kind of bullying and oppressing people. The State of Zhao, which has been in a low profile outside the war between the countries, has now announced its high-profile comeback to the world with a tough attitude. In this regard, he participated in the competition for the hegemony of the Central Plains.

Thousands of years into a week, the ancient capital of Luoyi, the long bells and drums sounded, the heavy gate in the palace slowly pushed open, and the messenger of the State of Zhao held high the edict of his father and rode all the way, as if entering no one's land. Zhou Tianzi Ji Yan's hands trembled slightly. He received the imperial edict from the arrogant messenger of the State of Zhao. He said with a pale face, "Please tell the master father that I will not go to congratulate him because of my health. Now I will order Dazai to go instead of the widow. I hope the master will forgive me.

In Daliang, in Xinzheng, the King of Wei and the King of Han suddenly found out that when they were still wavering between Qi and Qin hegemony, their old brother Zhao Guo had become so powerful. In the past ten years, the country and population have nearly doubled, leaving Wei and Han behind. In order to fight against the encroachment of Qianqin, the second king of Wei and Han had to take the king of Qi as the master and let him drive him to compete for hegemony with the State of Qin. But now they have one more choice. The strong comeback of the State of Zhao has made the two countries re-examine the pattern of the world. The simple polar hegemony has become the side of Qin, Qi and Zhao, and the State of Qi is no longer the only country they can rely on.

After all, compared with the greedy King of Qi, the State of Zhao, who is also in the Three Jin Dynasties, is more likely to be accepted by the State of Wei and South Korea both emotionally and by blood. When Wei Wenhou dominated the Central Plains, it was with the banner of close unity between the Three Jin and the Jin Dynasties, repeating the strong force of the State of Jin to suppress Qi Qin and Chu. Therefore, Zhao Yong's letter came to invite him. Wei Wangsi and Han Wangcang did not resist too much. Their weak mentality over the years had already made them lose the pride of the great power, so they were invited to take the prince to Xindu to meet.

Needless to say, the State of Yan. After learning that Zhao Yong promised to interve for the State of Yan, the king of Yan was overjoyed, so he handed over the state affairs to Su Qin and others, and immediately went to Xindu to meet Prince Yan. The State of Song and Lu Wei was in decline, and the aggressiveness of the Qi, Wei, Chu and other countries was unpreserving day and night. Naturally, they were more abusing the State of Zhao. After receiving the letter, they all took the prince to the appointment. Because the State of Chu is too far away from the State of Zhao, it is naturally not afraid of the strength of the State of Zhao. In addition, although the State of Chu was defeated by Qi and Qin, and its national strength was greatly weakened, it was still the largest and most populous country among the seven heroes. Naturally, the king of Chu refused to surrender his identity to worship Zhao Yong, so he only sent Yin Doujie to send an envoy to the State of Zhao on his behalf, like his father's congratulations.

In Linzi Palace, the field of the king of Qi, who received Zhao Yong's letter, jumped like thunder. He threw the letter to the ground fiercely and roared in the trembling of the palace people for a long time. Finally, he reluctantly picked up the letter. Although he is impatient, he is not a fool. Now the army of the State of Zhao has approached the river and gathered at the border of Qi and Zhao. Once he joins the occupation, it will inevitably cut off the retreat of the army of the State of Qi that goes deep into Yan. At this time, Zhao Xin sent him to invite him to Xindu. There is no doubt that he is forced by force. If he refuses, the next moment is very likely to be The army waved.

The gradually strong field of the State of Zhao over the years is also clear in my heart. It is just that because the State of Zhao has been living in peace with the surrounding countries, and only a great war against the Hu people and Zhongshan countries. Therefore, over time, the fields have not taken the threat of the State of Zhao into mind, but only focused on the west to compete for hegemony with the State of Qin.

The reason why he previously agreed to allow the State of Zhao to annex Zhongshan was that, on the one hand, he had no time to look north because he was fighting fiercely with the State of Qin in Hanguguan. On the other hand, he had been coveting the anointed land of the State of Song for a long time. If he wanted to put aside Chu and Wei alone, he needed the tacit permission of the State of Zhao to annex the State of Song. On the other hand, that is, The field originally thought that according to the former strength of Zhongshan, how could it be delayed for a year and a half? Even if Zhao could win, it would inevitably hurt its vitality. It would take a long time to digest Zhongshan to supplement the national strength.

But he never thought that Zhongshan would be so bad, and he didn't expect that Zhao would be so strong. In less than a month, the State of Zhongshan, which has been tenaciously established for more than 200 years, has turned into dust and completely integrated into the State of Zhao. Instead of the loss of national strength because of the protracted war, the State of Zhao's morale was greatly boosted because of the annexation of his confidant, and the great martial arts made the princes afraid.

At this time, the field had to pay attention to the State of Zhao, an emerging military power, and found that its strong strength was no longer the enemy of the State of Qi. It's just that Tiandi has long been used to the identity of the hegemon. Now how can he bow his head to the State of Zhao? So he made a trick. Mingli promised to take the prince to the appointment, but a few days later, he sent an envoy to Zhao Yong to report that he had a recurrence of his old disease and could not go. He just sent the prince Tian Fazhang to go on his behalf.

The only erratic attitude among the nine countries is the State of Qin. When the envoy of the State of Zhao rushed to the State of Qin with his father's letter, Xianyang was furious about it. Since the change of Shang Yang, the State of Qin, which quickly became strong, has changed its poverty in those years and constantly encroached on the territory of the three countries of Wei, Han and Chu to Kanto to strengthen its national strength. After more than 30 years of expansion, King Huiwen and King Wu has become a strong country. Although the national strength is not rich, the State of Qi is not rich, its military strength has been completed. The country left behind. Although the State of Qin fell into civil strife after the violent death of King Wu and China's strength declined, it was also one of the largest countries in the world. Zhao Yong sent an envoy to the king of Qin to attend the appointment, which was undoubtedly an insult to the pride of the Qin people.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the ministers in the DPRK wrote against it one after another. They were generous and passionately in the court, asking the Empress Dowager and the King of Qin to categorically reject the unreasonable demands of the State of Zhao. Some radicals asked to send troops to attack Hedong in the State of Zhao as a warning and let the State of Zhao put away their constering for the State of Qin.

The Qin people have been denounced by the State of Zhao, so that Lou Huan, who is the prime minister of Qin, is extremely embarrassed. On the one hand, he was from Zhao, and his father pressed the appointment of the State of Qin with momentum; on the other hand, he was the prime minister of the State of Qin, and Yu Gong had to start from the interests of the State of Qin. In the past, Qin and Zhao were good friends, and his situation was better. Now Qin and Zhao's relationship has become a little delicate, which makes it difficult for him to deal with himself. So he simply shut up and said nothing in the court.

Lou Xuan's abnormal behavior naturally can't escape the eyes of the Empress Dowager Mi, who is sitting high. Her eyes moved slightly. She looked at Lou Xu and asked with a smile: "The Lou Xiang hasn't said a word today. I think there must be any high opinion in my heart. You might as well talk to me."

Lou slowly restrained his mind and bowed slightly to salute, but his heart was awe-inspiring.

Although this woman over 40 years old is still as beautiful as a flower, with all kinds of amorous feelings between her eyebrows and eyes, her heart is strong and her means are old and spicy. Even if she has been a politician for a long time, she is naturally not as good as Lou Jian. The real name of the Empress Dowager Mi is Mi Bazi. She is the daughter of the Duke of Chu and the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin. After King Wu died violently, because he was young and had no queen, several of his brothers fought for the throne of Qin. In the end, he won the victory, who was supported by Zhao Yong, and ascended to the throne of Qin with the support of his mother and uncle Wei Ran. As a result, Mi Bazi also became the empress dowager and began to claim it in the court.

Now the Empress Dowager Mi is in charge of the state affairs of the State of Qin, replacing him in handling state affairs on the grounds that the King of Qin is young, and uses his brothers Wei Ran and Mi Rong to control the government, hold the King of Qin in vain, and firmly control the whole State of Qin in her hands. Zhao Yong's strong pressure to make the building slowly enter Qin was originally intended to win more benefits for the State of Zhao, but he was struggling under the strength of the Empress Dowager Mi. Although he was a prime minister, he did not have the power, and his actions were restrained and excused everywhere.

In the past year, Lou Huan has already learned the power of this woman, so he did not dare to be careless about her questions. He pondered for a while before saying, "Empress dowager, with all due respect, Qin Zhao is a country of brothers and rely on each other. Now that the Lord's father is in the Xin Palace, it's better for us, the State of Qin, to cooperate with it and strengthen its momentum. It's about allies. Isn't it good to attack the State of Qi together?
