Chapter 744 Lobbying the countries (four thousand words in two chapters)
Linzi, the capital of Qi State.
For King Jian of Qi, his free time after the war was definitely a great enjoyment for him, and it was a heavenly time.
During this period, the king of Qi was drunk and dreaming every day. Except for women, they were women, almost all the important things were handed over to his Xiangbang Housheng.
To be honest, because the mother of King Jian of Qi, the Queen of the Queen, just passed away, according to the ancestral system, King Jian of Qi should have to keep mourning for the Queen of the Queen of the King of the Queen of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the
But the problem is that since the death of the Queen, no one in the entire Qi State can make any advice or influence on Qi Wang Jian's behavior.
Therefore, King Jian of Qi did not pay any attention to the rules that he could not get close to women. He was having a great time with the beauties in his palace and only enjoyed the beauty of this gentle place.
Until this day, Hou Sheng suddenly appeared in front of King Jian of Qi and reported to King Jian of Qi: "King, there is an envoy from Zhao who is asking for a visit outside."
King Jian of Qi, who was enjoying the beauty's shoulders and pounding his back, opened a gap in his eyes lazily, looked at Hou Sheng, and then said to Hou Sheng: "Houqing, haven't I already said it? Let me leave this kind of thing to you. After receiving it, I will report it to me."
Hou Sheng hesitated for a moment and said to King Jian of Qi: "King, then Zhao State is the overlord of the world after all. If the king does not meet the envoys of Zhao State in person, if it angers the people of Zhao State, it would be a loss."
King Jian of Qi frowned and muttered a few words in his mouth, obviously very unhappy with such things.
But in the end, King Jian of Qi stood up and said to Hou Sheng: "Since that's the case, then I will go and meet this envoy."
A moment later, King Jian of Qi met an envoy from Zhao State in the palace.
The disturbed King Jian of Qi was not in a good mood, so he was not very good when he spoke: "What did King Zhao order you to come?"
The envoy of Zhao State was a lord from the Zhao State's Great Administration Department. He was about forty years old and looked quite calm. After seeing Wang Jian of Qi, he saluted first, and then he spoke out his purpose: "Do you know about Duan Ganzi's rebellion in Wei State?"
King Jian of Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his face was a little confused.
To be honest, he has been addicted to alcohol and sex for a while, and has never paid attention to external affairs.
Now, King Jian of Qi doesn’t even know that there are small-scale snow disasters in many places in Qi State, and he has never heard of Duan Ganzi’s rebellion in Wei State.
When Hou Sheng saw what King Jian of Qi looked like, he immediately realized that it was time for him to need him.
So Hou Sheng hurriedly spoke to King Jian of Qi, "King, it was a few days ago that Duan Ganzi, the minister of Wei State, suddenly rebelled, poisoned the King of Wei in public, and held the crown prince of Wei to succeed to the throne. Now the power in the entire Wei State has fallen into Duan Ganzi's hands."
"What?" King Jian of Qi showed a look of surprise on his face. He glared at Hou Sheng fiercely and said to Hou Sheng: "Why don't you report such a big thing to me in advance?"
Hou Sheng was stunned and thought to himself that he had already reported it to you, but you were only concerned about enjoying the woman and didn't listen to my words at all.
King Jian of Qi looked at Hou Sheng's expression and suddenly seemed to understand something. So he coughed awkwardly, straightened his face, and said to the envoy of Zhao in front of him: "I already know about this. Does King Zhao want me to send troops with him to attack Duan Ganzi?"
The envoy of Zhao nodded and praised to King Jian of Qi: "The king is indeed wise. This time my king ordered me to come, hoping that the king could send troops to help Zhao eliminate Duan Ganzi and give Wei a bright world."
King Jian of Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the envoy of Zhao in front of him with some malicious intentions and said, "When did you King Zhao become so kind? You actually want to kill this rebellious minister for the people of Wei?"
The envoy of Zhao raised his chest and raised his head to King Jian of Qi and replied, "The king doesn't know anything. Since Zhao is the overlord of the world and my king is the leader of the alliance of the Seven Kingdoms, he naturally has to stand up for this matter. Otherwise, if the ministers of various countries come up and follow this rebellious behavior, it will not be good news for any king."
When King Jian of Qi heard this, he said nothing. After pondering for a while, he turned his gaze to Housheng and asked Housheng: "How should I deal with this matter?"
Hou Sheng said hurriedly: "Return to the king, I think Duan Ganzi dares to rebel and kill the monarch, which is indeed a great crime. We must send troops to wipe out!"
In fact, from Hou Sheng’s heart, this rebellion or not has nothing to do with Hou Sheng’s money.
But who is Housheng? Housheng has always been known for being good at welcoming kings. Understanding the psychology of King Jian of Qi is Housheng's strength.
In the past, although King Jian of Qi was addicted to enjoying the past period, he repeatedly showed in front of Hou Sheng that he did not want to continue fighting foreign wars from now on. He only needed to live a good life in Qi. However, Hou Sheng knew more about the Duan Ganzi rebellion, but it was different from other foreign wars.
The difference between this matter is that Duan Ganzi's identity is a minister, and this behavior is a violation of the following.
As we all know, the Tian family where King Jian of Qi is located was originally just a big family from the State of Chen to Qi. However, after hundreds of years of development, the Tian family finally became stronger and usurped the throne of the original Lu Qi State. This is the so-called Tian family's generation of Qi.
Since the Tian family started with the rebellion, they were naturally very worried that other ministers in Qi would imitate such behavior.
Therefore, King Jian of Qi must have hated Duan Ganzi, who commits regicide, and is extremely hated.
Since King Jian of Qi hated this behavior very much, Hou Sheng certainly had to support sending troops to attack Wei State.
Sure enough, King Jian of Qi nodded vigorously and praised Hou Sheng: "Houqing knows what I mean. The envoy went back to tell you the king, and said that I agreed. As long as I send troops at that time, I will be the one I will do."
The envoy of Zhao State received this reply and naturally left with great satisfaction.
After the envoy of Zhao State left, King Jian of Qi laughed and said to Hou Sheng in front of him: "Houqing, do you think how many troops should I send this time?"
Hou Sheng thought for a while, then said to King Jian of Qi: "King, this time I heard that Zhao State may send many envoys to join forces with the countries of the mainland to attack Duan Ganzi."
King Jian of Qi sneered and suddenly said, "Why do I think that King Zhao is a drunkard? I don't want to drink?"
Hou Sheng nodded and spoke to King Jian of Qi, saying, "Don't worry, even if the people of Zhao have any intentions, have they sent troops? At that time, the people of Zhao will never escape the surveillance of our army."
King Jian of Qi nodded and said, "This is true. Let's do it. Then, let Kuang Liang take 20,000 soldiers to go there. Anyway, the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and it will be next spring. OK, if nothing happens, don't bother me anymore!"
After saying this, King Jian of Qi stood up and walked towards his harem with great enthusiasm.
There are still many beautiful and charming places, which makes King Jian of Qi and the beauty wait for his visit.
Chu State, Yingdu.
At this moment, the palace of Yingdu, Chu State was filled with joy.
The reason for this is of course because of the news just came from their enemy, Wei.
King Yuan of Chu sat in the upper head, smiling at the many ministers of Chu in the lower head, saying, "You are the invader of Wei, this invader of Wei is indeed not blessed by God. There was an internal strife at such a critical moment! From this point of view, my Great Chu will definitely win this time!"
Of course, there is a reason why King Yuan of Chu was so optimistic.
You should know that the Chu and Wei are still in war, but because it is winter now, under the power of ice and snow, both sides have to temporarily reach a truce.
It can be foreseen that as long as the ice and snow melt in the spring of the coming year, the war will surely break out on the battlefield on the front line of the Huaihe River again.
At such a very critical juncture, there was an internal strife in Wei State, and it also caused the direct death of Wei State's king, King Wei. How could this not make the people of Chu State be happy?
What made the people of Chu even hurriedly happy was still behind. A palace attendant hurriedly appeared in front of King Yuan of Chu and reported to King Yuan of Chu: "King, there is an envoy of Zhao who asked for a visit."
King Yuan of Chu was excited when he heard this and immediately said, "Where is the envoy of Zhao State? Please come up quickly!"
King Yuan of Chu had a very good attitude towards the envoy of Zhao, because Chu now had a desire for Zhao, hoping to help Chu recover the territory occupied by Wei through the power of Zhao.
A moment later, an envoy from Zhao State appeared in front of King Yuan of Chu: "The foreign minister has seen the king."
King Yuan of Chu nodded with satisfaction and asked directly: "Tell me quickly, King Zhao sent you here to see me. Do you want to join forces with me to attack Wei State?"
The envoy was stunned for a moment, and then said to King Yuan of Chu: What the king is talking about is good, and my king does have this idea. And not only that, my king has sent envoys to all other countries, hoping to jointly attack Duan Ganzi!"
When King Yuan of Chu heard this, he burst into laughter happily.
The more countries attack Wei State, the more good it is for Chu State.
The messenger then spoke, "My king sent his ministers to come, but in fact there is another thing to tell the king."
King Yuan of Chu said curiously: "What exactly is it?"
The messenger paused and then said, "Please ask the king to retreat."
King Yuan of Chu was curious and didn't know what medicine the envoy of Zhao was selling in the gourd, so he shut down the ministers on the left and right according to what the envoy of Zhao said. Then he couldn't wait to ask the envoy, "Tell me quickly, what kind of good news is it?"
The envoy smiled slightly, then lowered his voice and said to King Yuan of Chu: "Your Majesty, I am not invisible. This time, although my king claimed to be trying to attack Duan Ganzi, his real purpose was to completely destroy the State of Wei."
"What?" King Yuan of Chu shook his body suddenly, and two shimmers suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Does King Zhao want to destroy the State of Wei? That's really... great!"
King Yuan of Chu rubbed his hands excitedly, and suddenly hesitated that he thought of something again, saying, "But if this is the case, will other countries not rescue Wei?"
The envoy shook his head and smiled at King Yuan of Chu, saying, "No. Please don't worry, your king, my king has arranged everything. As long as the king can keep it secret, it will be a foregone conclusion to destroy Wei."
King Yuan of Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, slapped the table fiercely, and said to the envoy of Zhao in front of him: "Okay, since that's the case, then you go back and tell the king of the Your family that he could return all the land that Wei State had taken back from me in the past two years, then I will only follow this matter!"
Yan State, Jidu.
Empress Dowager Yan sat in the upper head, and Lejian sat on the right side of the lower head. Opposite the Lejian was the envoy of Zhao who was talking endlessly.
The envoy of Zhao State said, ""That Duan Ganzi committed the murder of the superiors and killed the king, which was a great crime. As the leader of the world's alliance, Zhao State naturally could not sit idly by and do nothing. Now our king is preparing to invite the princes of the world to jointly attack Duan Ganzi of the Wei State, so he ordered his ministers to invite Yan State to join this anti-rebellion operation to express his determination to not tolerate such subordinates."
Empress Dowager Yan was silent for a while and did not speak immediately, but took a look at the music room first.
I saw meditating for a while during music, shook my head slightly at Empress Dowager Yan.
So Empress Dowager Yan spoke to the envoy of Zhao in front of him and said, "This matter is very important. Please ask the envoy to go back and rest first. The old woman needs to discuss with the ministers before making a decision."
After sending off the envoy of Zhao State, Empress Dowager Yan spoke to Lejian and said, ""June Chang, what do you think about this matter?"
Lejian thought for a while and said, "Empress Dowager, I always feel that something strange seems to be revealed in this matter."
Queen Mother Yan smiled and said, "The old woman also thinks that something is wrong. It seems that the old woman's brother can no longer hold back and wants to expand Zhao State again by the name of attacking Duan Ganzi."
Lejian thought for a while, nodded and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is reasonable, probably what King Zhao thought."
Empress Dowager Yan asked Lejian again: "Since that's the case, then should Yan State be mixed with this matter between the kings of Chang?"
Lejian thought for a while and said, "Return to the Empress Dowager, Zhao is now the overlord of the world. King Zhao sent an envoy. If he rejected Zhao, it would probably make King Zhao a little dissatisfied. Why not let me lead 10,000 elite troops south and show them to the people of Zhao. Anyway, the real main battle should be completed by Zhao and Chu, and it will not hurt our Yan army at any time."
Empress Dowager Yan pondered for a while and agreed to the view of music.
"Since that's the case, then Yan State will participate in this attack on Wei."
