I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 146 If Heaven wants to take it, it must first give it

Not long after, Yang Tongue also rushed to Zhao Wu's residence.

"I met Zhao Zhongjun. As soon as I came out of the master's house, I saw the general sent someone to call me. I was a step late. I ask the general to forgive me."

Yang Tongue entered the hall and bowed to Zhao Wu first.

"It's okay, doctor Uncle Xiang has been working very hard these days, come, please sit down."

Zhao Wu said softly.

Afterwards, Yang Tong Ji gave birth to Zi again, and Li Ran and Li Ran greeted each other before taking their seats.

After the three of them were seated, Zhao Wu waved his hand, turned away the servants on the left and right, looked at the sheep's tongue and asked:
"It is said that during today's court meeting, Dr. Shu Qi urged our lord to participate in the meeting of Guodi in the hall. It is difficult for Wu Shi to understand what he meant. Unknown uncle Xiang, has he ever learned a thing or two from the respected master?"

Yang Tongue hurriedly said:
"Returning to the general, my master insisted on attending the meeting, but there is indeed something hidden. It's just that you can't say it clearly in the hall."

"The ancients said, 'If the sky wants to take it, it must first give it'. Now that the princes are surrounded by Chu, there is a great tendency to take the king of Chu and replace him. The whole country of Chu has long discussed this."

"And this time at the Guodi meeting, Wang Ziwei commanded the other countries in the capacity of Chu State Commander Yin, and his arrogance is well known to passers-by."

"In the teacher's opinion, since the prince's siege to kill the king is almost a foregone conclusion, why don't our country of Jin push the boat along and help him? At that time, the prince will usurp power and seize the throne, and there will inevitably be chaos in the Chu country. Endless benefits."

"When there are changes in the world, when I advance, I can continue to command other countries to defeat Chu rebels; if I retreat, I can also defend myself and think it is a blessing."

I think back at the Lingtai Palace, in front of all the civil and military men, the female uncle Qi spoke quite pleasantly, such as cultivating one's morality and benevolence to govern the country, and being prepared for danger in times of peace, etc., it was grand and upright, and directly compared the Marquis of Jin with all the people. The courtiers of the Jin Kingdom were stunned for a moment.

But actually?
The saying "While you are sick, kill you" is applicable in any era.

Since you, Wang Ziwei, have long been presumptuous, and this convening of the alliance is just to build momentum, then I will follow the trend, so why not push it?Your country of Chu was in chaos earlier, and you brought your own disasters sooner. Will I be able to sit back and relax after my Jin country?

Behind the high-sounding rhetoric of Uncle Qi, what is hidden is nothing but intriguing schemes.

This has many similarities with the deceitful techniques of later dynasties, and the best among them is Zhu Yuanzhang.

If you connect Zhu Yuanzhang's later state governance methods with his daughter-in-law Qi Zhiyan at this time, it is enough to conclude that Zhu Yuanzhang must have read a lot of these when he was young and fighting.

Hearing this, Li Ran almost couldn't help giving his uncle Qi a thumbs up.

Jiang is still hot and ruthless, and you are still ruthless. I am afraid that only an old woman like Nv Shuqi can think of such a bad move of retreating.

And this is not the classic: God wants to make it disappear, must first make it crazy?
The ancient Greek historian Herodotus, if he knew that in the far east, someone had said the same thing as him a hundred years earlier than him, he probably couldn’t help opening the first Eurasian world in human history. Let's go.

"Well, Doctor Shuqi's words are right, and the old man also admires him from the bottom of his heart."

Even Zhao Wu couldn't help but be moved by the "great wisdom" of his female uncle Qi.

After saying that, he stroked his snow-white beard again, thought carefully for a while, and finally looked at the crowd and said:
"Since that's the case, what do you guys think, what should I do next?"

Now that the Guodi meeting has been decided, what kind of preparations should be made next, and how to plan in advance, these are big problems.

At this moment, Li Ran immediately cupped his hands and said:
"However, I think that Wang Ziwei's convening of the alliance in the capacity of the Minister of the Chu Kingdom this time is just as Doctor Shuqi said, and he can sell him a face. We just need to wait and see what happens, it's okay. "

"It's just that although you have to give this face, you can't give it too much. After all, it's better to keep some of your duties."

As soon as this remark came out, several people in the hall nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Zhao Wu couldn't help but clasped his hands again and said:

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

So, Li Ran continued to nod and said:

"In the final analysis, Wang Ziwei is now the Ling Yin of the Chu State. Although he has long had the heart of arrogance, we can't follow the way. However, I think that the kings of the vassal states will be able to It is not necessary to go there in person, the Marquis of Jin can also summon all the countries with the order of the leader, so that the monarchs of all countries can only send one minister to attend."

"Firstly, this can show the people of the world that Jin has no intention of overstepping the monarch and ministers. Second, it can also be equal to the status of the prince's encirclement, so that he will not dare to make too much trouble in the alliance meeting. .”

After hearing this, Zhao Wu immediately nodded and said:

"Well, what Ziming said is very reasonable."

"Then... Presumably the Shangqing of Zheng Guo who participated in the Guodi meeting this time is the doctor Zichan?"

The person of Zheng Guo attending this alliance meeting is naturally none other than Zichan. Since he has already come here, what else can change?

In fact, this is another meaning of Hanhu.

Hanhu asked Zichan to be an envoy to the state of Jin. Although he had the intention of lobbying the Marquis of Jin to refuse to participate in the alliance meeting, in fact Hanhu knew very well that Chu State is now ordering all countries in the name of the Song alliance agreement. , and it is actually very difficult for Jin to reject him justifiably.

Once the state of Jin can't refuse, the two countries of Jin and Zheng must join the alliance.

As for who Jin would send, he really couldn't control Hanhu.But for Zheng Guo, people like Feng Duan and Si Hei are absolutely not allowed to go.

That's why he sent Zichan to the state of Jin. Even if the lobbying fails, Zichan should go directly to join the alliance.

"General Mingjian, I, Zheng Zhi, have already made it clear before that if the meeting in Guodi cannot be refused, then the overseas Chinese will make the trip on their behalf."

As far as Zichan handed over, it was considered to have accepted Zhao Wu's conjecture.

"Well, that's very good. I have made up my mind this time, and I will definitely come to this meeting in person."

"Although the old man has not asked about political affairs for many years, but now I want to see how capable these juniors of Chu State are, how dare they dare to act presumptuously in front of my Jin State?"

Zhao Wu's remark, although it is obvious that he wants to cheer up this time, but it also has the meaning of protecting Han Qi.

As the next commander of the Chinese army, Han Qi is in the prime of life, in his prime.It stands to reason that Han Qi is the best candidate for this Guodi meeting.Just like the Pingqiu meeting before.

But Zhao Wu insisted on going in person this time, in the euphemistic name of wanting to meet Wang Ziwei for a while, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he disliked Han Qi for being too smooth and not upright.

In the words of later generations, Han Qi is an exquisite egoist.Therefore, if he is allowed to go, it may be difficult to establish the image of a great country.

After all, the matter of the second meeting of the alliance is related to the relationship between the countries and the state of Jin, so if it is not handled properly.That would be tantamount to smashing the century-old signboard of Jin.

Therefore, in this situation, only veterans like Zhao Wu can hold on.
