Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 142 Which is more important, the system or the wise emperor?
There has never been an undefeated life in this world, and no one can live forever in this world. Heroes and heroes will eventually turn into dead bones in the grave.

In the 28th year of Ji Ni, King Qi passed away in Linzi, with the posthumous title of "Xuan", and was known as King Xuan of Qi in history.

This is the first vassal king to die. With his passing, the group of famous officials who created the prosperity of Qi State began to wither one after another.

A strange undercurrent began to flow in the land of Zhuxia. In this land, since the Luo Kingdom retired and a group of countries with similar strengths coexisted, there has been an unspoken rule, that is, the existence of superpowers is not allowed.

The Chu State is the strongest, and the six countries will attack Chu one after another. The Wei State is the strongest, and the other countries will jointly weaken the Wei State. Now that the Qi State is the strongest, many people with insight know that it is time to weaken the Qi State.

The talented people in Qi Kingdom naturally also know that the group of virtuous ministers in the past foresaw this danger, so they chose to win over and divide the countries.

But with the passing of that group of virtuous ministers, Qi State did not completely abolish the system of Shiqing Shilu, which led to the difference in the level of this group of monarchs and ministers.

These people have always lived in the best environment in the country of Qi, so they naturally have an indelible arrogance in their hearts, and they can't help but become arrogant when facing other countries.

In the past, the six countries all ruled in Qi, because Qi was in full swing, and the six countries were not of the same mind. Qi had just defeated Wei and needed to consolidate the newly acquired land. The curtain fell.

But as long as there is no unification, the fierce war will never end.

Especially when Zhao Wei was forced to bow his head to the Qi State, how could he not have resentment in his heart?
Even South Korea, surrounded by such a behemoth as Qi, Han Hou would wake up from time to time in his midnight dream.

Yan State, Jicheng.

After more than [-] years of hard work, the current Yan State has sufficient food and grain, and has basically reached the peak that Yan State can achieve.

The group of young heroes in the past are now middle-aged.

The Marquis of Yan said with emotion: "The prosperity of the country of Yan is due to the contributions of all the talented people. Breaking down the East Hu and expanding the land for thousands of miles is a real achievement created by the country of Yan alone.

Gu heard that King Qi also extorted violently in the country, and the nobles of Qi State didn't like him, and he was arrogant towards South Korea, as if he wanted to annex South Korea's Song land.

He even wanted to change places with Luo Guo and get Luo Guo's enclave in Song Dynasty.

Now may be the time to deal with Qi. "

Yan Xiangle Yi mused: "It is indeed time to deal with Qi, but relying on Yan alone is not enough to fight against Qi, please also contact the other five countries and join forces to attack Qi."

Marquis Yan frowned and said: "Han Zhao is afraid of Qi, Marquis of Wei is stupid, he hangs out in the harem all day long, he has no ambition at all, Qin and Wei have been at war, will he participate in the attack on Qi?

Among the five countries, only the Chu State sent troops, because Chu State wanted to annex the land of Wu and Yue. "

Le Yi smiled and said: "My lord, if a person likes gold and silver, he should use gold and silver to please him, not beauty.

Marquis Wei sent beautiful women to him because of his lust, and Han Zhao was afraid of Qi, so he wanted to use Qi to merge with the land to coerce them.

Among the Seven Kingdoms today, Qin, Chu, Qi are kings, and you want to be king, so don’t the kings of Zhao, Wei, and Han not want to be kings?

In the past, when all the kings of the country were all fifth-class princes, they didn't realize it. Now three are kings and four are lords, and there is a difference between high and low.

If you and the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han recognize each other's throne, the four kingdoms can be united tightly.

The State of Qi is definitely dissatisfied with the Three Jins claiming the title of king, and will launch a crusade. Will the Three Jins remove the title of king?
Naturally not.

Then gathering the strength of the five countries of Yan, Chu, Zhao, Wei and Han is enough to overthrow Qi, and the five countries will unite. Does Qin dare not participate in the union?

Then I am afraid that Qin State will end up like Qi State. "

As expected by Le Yi, the monarchs of the Three Jin Dynasties could not refuse the proposal of being king at all. Even if some courtiers persuaded them, they just said, "When King Xuan of Qi returns to the funeral, it is honorable to bury him with royal rites." matter."

The kings of the four countries really angered Qi, especially South Korea, who also became king, and was regarded as a betrayal by Qi.

Qi Wang An said angrily in Linzi: "Han Hou is a subject of the widow, his virtue is shallow, and he cannot be recognized by the heavens, but he presides over the throne. Isn't this a traitor and traitor?

In the old days when the state of Chu usurped and claimed the title of king, Duke Luo Wen attacked it, causing the state of Chu to lose the title of king. Now that Marquis Han is the king, the widow should attack him, so that he can know that those who have no virtue but claim the title of king will descend from Haotian. punish. "

The officials of Qi State were also filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, if there was no Qi State, South Korea would have disappeared into the world like hundreds of vassal states in the past, but now it has betrayed Qi State. I am willing to lead troops to fight for you. Conquer Korea."

The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State have long coveted the land of South Korea. Just being a minister can no longer satisfy the excuse of the nobles of the Qi State. They hope that South Korea will be completely merged into the Qi State like Wu State. Now that South Korea has given such a good excuse, it is naturally to be used.

Little did he know that Qi State's actions hit the heart of Yan State's monarch and ministers, and Yan Wangping laughed directly: "The King of Qi actually directly reprimanded the King of Han. Hasn't he heard the story of the frightened bird?"

I don’t know if King Qi has heard of it, but King Han is frightened, and the throne is not yet warm, so he quickly contacted Zhao Weiyan and the Three Kingdoms.

He made a promise when he was the king, but it can't be counted at this critical moment. Fortunately, Yan Zhao's promise still counts, which made King Han feel at ease for the time being.

Yingdu.

The old King Chu finally waited until the princes of the Central Plains joined forces to attack Qi. He came to the tomb of the long-gone Xiang Shi and said with a smile: "Xiang Qing, the joint attack you said has begun. It will fall into the hands of Chu State.

It's a pity that you won't see this day, but I will send your descendants to be the generals of the joint command, leading a team of Chu soldiers. "

Qin State, Xianyang.

King Qin's face was a bit serious, "The five countries of Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han and Chu attacked Qi. On the surface, this is an invitation to Qin to join the alliance, but in fact it is a threat. If they do not follow now, I am afraid that the next step of the five countries will be to attack Qin together."

Wei Yang frowned deeply, attacking Qi State had no effect on Qin State, but how to attack was a very important matter.

He pondered for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, it has always been an iron law to unite the weak against the strong. If Qi is defeated, who will be the strongest country?"

King Qin said with a gloomy face, "Of course it's Qin!"

Qin State occupies Bashu, Chu State can only deploy heavy troops at the important pass of Bashu, Qin State is equally serious to Wei State, and even repeatedly invades the land of Hedong. snatch.

Wei Yang said in a deep voice: "In this case, even if you want to participate in this joint venture, you must restrain your edge, and don't let the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Yan become afraid of Qin."

The sudden unification of the six countries shocked the Qi State. In the past, only the Chu State had experienced such a blow. The King of Qi asked with some doubts about his life: "Masters, Qi State is just attacking South Korea. Why did Qin Chu, Zhao Wei, Yan Wu The country wants to fight together?

The two countries of Qin and Qi respect the East and the West, the two countries of Qi and Chu signed a peace treaty, and the two countries of Qi and Yan have been good-neighborly and friendly for many years. How could they suddenly become enemies all over the world? "

It's no wonder that King Qi was so flustered. A little carelessness in the alliance of the six countries would lead to the end of the country's subjugation. Although Qi's territory is large, it is long and narrow from north to south, with a large area of ​​plains.

Unlike the state of Chu, which is extremely deep, and unlike the state of Zhao, which has the danger of mountains and rivers that can be used as a barrier, it can hold back the coalition forces.

"Your Majesty, it must be that the six kingdoms saw the strength of Qi and feared it. That's why today's calamity happened. The most important thing now is to defend the country and wait for the right time to destroy the alliance. Otherwise, Qi's society may be overthrown. .”

Luo country.

When the news of the alliance of the six kingdoms reached Luo, Luo Ce and Luo Li were playing chess. Luo Li was taken aback, frowned and then stretched out, "Sure enough."

Luo Ce smiled and said, "Li'er, what do you think of this alliance? Will the Qi Nationality be destroyed?"

Luo Li shook his head and said: "Impossible, among the six countries in the alliance, only Yan and Han are sincere.

Chu State is for the land of Wu State, while Zhao State and Wei State are for self-protection.

Qin State is so far away from Qi State, even if it gets the land, the final outcome will be like the land of Huaisi, which cannot really enhance the strength of Qin State.

The only winners in this battle are Korea and Yan. This is not what the other four countries want to see, but the decline of Qi is certain.

Afterwards, the Qi State may never have the chance to return to its current strength. A war like plowing the land will cause the Qi State to encounter devastating damage. "

Luo Li directly made a conclusion for Qi. The current situation in Zhuxia is different from hundreds of years ago. Once it declines, other countries will never give it another chance.

Wei Guo was besieged immediately with a slight hint of decadence. Until now, his hegemony had basically declined, and he was about to fall into a group with Zhao and Han for warmth.

Luo Ce asked: "Then it seems that the country of Qi has no destiny, where will the favor of the heavens fall?"

Luo Li said directly: "Which country produces more wise monarchs, whoever gets the favor of heaven.

Throughout the 800 years of Bangzhou, countless vassal states have ups and downs, but those with wise monarchs will prosper, but those with stupid monarchs will decline.

No matter how good the system is, it still needs people to implement it. In the past when the king was fierce, the power of the royal family was so strong that they were not exhausted all at once.

The son thought that the Qin State might have obtained the destiny, because the Qin State was the most overbearing country, but seeing the prosperity of the Qi State, he became suspicious of the overbearing.

Can the so-called system really match the ability of a wise monarch and a virtuous minister?

Even Chu, the only country where the reform failed, if there are ten consecutive generations of heroes, is there no possibility of unifying the world? "

Lotze didn't speak because he didn't know the answer to the question either.

The armies of the six countries approached the city.
