Wang Rong, the king of Zhao, was addicted to alcohol and sex. He not only wanted to enjoy himself, but also handed over government affairs to eunuchs and slandered ministers. It can be said that he was basically a useless person... Li Tianqu thought about it, but Zhao State, which he controlled, still had certain strength. After all, according to historical records, Wang Rong turned to Li Cunxu, and the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Liang Dynasty fought, and Zhao State often sent troops to provide assistance, which could also be used as a restraint.

However, Wang Rong, who was unstable in Liang and Jin (Later Tang), turned completely to Li Cunxu, was not only because of Li Yazi, his diplomatic skills were more mature than his father Li Keyong, but also because Zhu Wen later had the ambition to annex Zhao State. He also found that Wang Rong, who had originally surrendered to him, had close contact with Jin State envoys, so that he could control Weibo Town, so that he sent troops to attack Zhao State on a large scale...

Li Cunxu sent troops to rescue Wang Rong, and Yu Baixiang defeated the Liang army, which laid the foundation for the subordinate relationship between Zhao and Jin in one fell swoop.

So Li Tianqu said that I am not in a hurry to attack Zhao State now, but push Wang Rong to Li Cunxu's lineup. Jin State will still deliberately win over. So how will Zhao State make a choice between Wei and Jin states?

Li Tianqu suddenly thought that Wang Rong is now unintentional to political affairs, and now the power of Zhao State is controlled by his favorite jesters. However, his close ministers are also in opposition to each other. So will there be serious differences on which side they are facing?

What's more, there is Zhang Wenli, who is the adoptive father of Wang Rong and now has changed his name to Wang Deming... According to historical records, the guy took advantage of the internal struggle between his close ministers around King Zhao and suddenly launched a mutiny to kill the master and usurp the throne. Li Tianqu still remembers that when he got along with the thief last time, he could see that he intended to win the support of the Wei Dynasty and his intention to take over the throne... So will the win over Wei and Jin countries also lead to some major events in Zhao State, which will happen ahead of the original trajectory?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wang Rong has been very annoyed recently because he is very impatient. After all, paying tribute to the Wei Dynasty is to maintain a luxurious and destitute life as a king. If there is a strong country and a great dynasty, no one dares to touch me. So if you should pay tribute, you should pay tribute. Anyway, taxes can be fought against the people under my rule. Why should I enjoy it safely?

But Wang Rong also dared not offend Jin State. Now he has no ambition to compete with Li Tianqu and Li Cunxu. Even if possible, Wang Rong did not want to have too much contact with the kings of such great powers... It is enough for me to enjoy the foundation of Zhao State. Every day, I eat and drink, and I am not good at serving countless beauties and beautiful concubines? In my spare time, I will ask Fang Shidao people to refine cauldrons and alchemy to study the ways of immortality... Why do I have to fight and kill?

However, Li Yan, the envoy of Jin's guest province, went to Zhao repeatedly according to the order of Li Cunxu. Although he was very respectful to Wang Rong as his lord's order... Even if it was inconvenient to say it clearly, Li Yan once hinted to Wang Rong that in terms of Zhao's situation, it would be more beneficial to join forces with Jin...

Originally, Wang Rong's current situation was ripe, and he wanted to make any changes. However, he was lazy in governing state affairs and had long entrusted the power to his favorite ministers... And according to his historical deeds, Li Yan, the envoy of Jin State, when he was on his mission to Former Shu, he could immediately determine that the time for the Later Tang to launch a large army to destroy Shu was ripe, and now he had grasped the situation in Zhao, so he put his ideas on the eunuchs and powerful officials around King Zhao...

The state of Zhao ruled Tiantai Mountain (also known as Xishan). Because Emperor Wu of Han established the Queen Mother Temple on the mountain, it was also called Wangmu Mountain. King Zhao Wang Rong built a large-scale museum here, and often went to visit for several months. This time, the reason for him to settle here was to avoid Wei and Jin, who came to test his wishes.

In the extremely luxurious and magnificent palace in the other hall, the table was covered with the best delicacies, and there were singing and dancing entertainment for singers. Wang Rong sat on the table, originally feasting, and occasionally dancing towards the beautiful genius concubines who were dancing in front of him were very happy, but a feminine voice came into his ears:

"King, although my Zhao State had surrendered to the Wei Dynasty before, it was not a long-term solution after all..."

Wang Rong was disappointed when he heard this. He frowned and then looked at him, and his tone was filled with a bit of blame:

"Shi Aiqing, I moved to the Queen Mother Temple in Xishan, originally to seek purity. I was already very upset about the fact that Jin State came to win over. Since you are the lonely confidant, why did you also disturb my interest?"

Around Wang Rong, the two most favored officials were named Li Honggui and the other was Shi Ximeng. Speaking of which, he originally delegated power to let Li Honggui and Li Ai and other generals take charge of Zhao's domestic and foreign affairs, but he favored Shi Ximeng even more.

It is said that Wang Rong took more than a thousand concubines, and his close ministers and bureaucrats had never heard that their king was a good man. However, Wang Rong favored Shi Ximeng, a eunuch, so much that the two of them often slept in the same bed... It really made others unable to understand what secret relationship this relationship has for the king and his ministers.

So when Wang Rong's mentality is like an ostrich burying his head in the sand, he does not want to pay attention to the influence imposed by Wei and Jin, and only cares about the happiness in front of him. However, Shi Ximeng, the most caring confidant who was originally the most caring confidant, would certainly not punish him, but he could not help but feel a little unhappy.

However, after hearing the owner of his family asked with some reproach, Shi Ximeng's mouth, with his eyebrows down, raised a meaningful smile...

Li Yan, the envoy of Jin State, realized that the two most favored officials of Zhao Wang Rong, the two powerful officials who were most favored by Zhao Wang Rong, were becoming increasingly tense in order to compete for favor. However, although Li Honggui's faction had greater power, Zhao Wang favored Shi Ximeng more, so Li Yan had secretly negotiated with him and promised Shi Ximeng:

If you can convince King Zhao Wang Rong to be willing to turn to Jin State. Then with my Jin State supporting you, you will definitely support you in defeating Li Honggui and monopolizing the power in Zhao State.

After all, Shi Ximeng was an eunuch jester who relied on flattery and even became a gang leader warmed his bed. Therefore, compared to Zhao's situation, he was more greedy for power and interests, and only hated that Li Honggui got power earlier and had no excuse to attack and fight against the other party. However, Jin State promised to help him control major affairs at home and abroad, Shi Ximeng was of course very happy and immediately agreed to use it for King Li Cunxu of Jin.

Shi Ximeng had already thought of the words, so he quickly bowed to Wang Rong and said:

"Don't blame me, but I am indeed thinking about you, and even my Zhao State... Even though the Wei Dynasty is more powerful than the Jin State, the king did not see it. Ye State, which was adjacent to our country to the south, has been completely incorporated into the territory of the Wei Dynasty. At that time, Wei Bo was in civil unrest, and the Emperor of Wei sent troops to quickly eliminate the Wei Boya family in the name of assisting the King of Ye, and the King of Ye... At that time, the Wei Bo Jiedushi Luo Shaowei had to submit his subordinates and completely ruined the foundation of the vassal states. I believe that he was forced by the power and had to obey.

What's more, over the years, the Wei Dynasty has opened up its territory and established a large area of ​​territory. This shows that the Emperor of Wei is ambitious and unwilling to let the countries surrender. Whenever he has the chance, he will annex the vassal states. King, now our Zhao State is equivalent to the fat meat that the Wei Dynasty sees. Even if the Emperor of Wei has not yet invaded, he must have been worried about his master's name, but he has been planning how to join our Zhao State...

The king is now the king of a country, and he is the king of Zhao. But if he has always been controlled by the Wei Dynasty, wouldn’t it be too easy to be plotted by the Emperor of Wei? The king is willing to be like the King of Ye Luo Shaowei, but only the Wei Dynasty can handle it, and only receive the title of honor and honor, and lose the foundation of his ancestors?"

After hearing Shi Ximeng's words, Wang Rong was stunned. Then he lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, and suddenly murmured again:

"This... what I'm sorry, it makes sense..."
