After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 139
After that, Qi State immediately received a protest from Lu State, and the second wave of envoys was also on their way.

After receiving this news, Gao Zhang felt a little strange in his heart. Why is Yang Hu's attitude so firm this time?His political acumen made him realize that there might be other reasons behind this incident.

But now this matter is getting bigger and bigger, Gao Zhang has detained Mengdi for a while, but he is very calm, he should eat and drink, and he also knows that Guoxia's daughter Zisu practices swords It didn't seem like he was in a hurry at all.

This was also beyond Gao Zhang's expectation. He immediately realized that this Mengdi was more difficult to deal with than he imagined. After thinking twice, he still decided to adopt Guoxia's opinion.

Let him go to meet Qi Hou, but before that, he needs to have a good talk with Meng Di, at least he needs to know what this guy is thinking in his heart.

So Mengdi finally waited for the interview he had been looking forward to for a long time, but he was very surprised at the place where he was interviewed, it was actually in the study, although this is a bit unreasonable, but it also means that there is something wrong with Gao Zhang talk to yourself.

After entering the study, Gao Zhang still had a smile on his face. After the two parties sat down, he asked.

"Recently, I have been busy with official business, so I kept Mengzi waiting for a long time. Last time I missed something because of drinking, and I haven't asked Mengzi why I came to Qi this time?"

This is typical of pretending to be confused, but Meng Di didn't care, just smiled softly.

"The purpose of Meng's visit this time is not important, the important thing is whether Qi can take advantage of this opportunity to dominate."

He came straight to the point when he came up, which made Gao Zhang feel a little uncomfortable, and he frowned.

"What does Mengzi mean by that?"

"The meaning is very simple. If the Qi State wants to dominate, at least not in the past few years. Fan Xianzi is no ordinary person. Now I wonder if Zheng State and Qi State are ready to form an alliance? You must be hesitating."

Hearing this, Gao Zhang's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes and snorted.

"If you have something to say, Meng Zi, please speak up, the old man doesn't like to play tricks on you."

Hearing this, Meng Di sat up straight and spoke confidently.

"Okay, I don't like going around. As long as Fan Xianzi still has the ability to govern, then the chance of Qi's hegemony is not great, unless Qi wants to fight Jin continuously like Chu. There will be no possibility for the country to seek hegemony again.”

"Gao Xiangguo has been in power in Qi State for many years. He should understand a truth. If there is a foreign aggression, in order to protect himself, the people in the country will definitely try their best to drive out the foreign enemy. If there is no foreign enemy, then there must be a worry about Xiao Qiang."

"The strength of the Jin State is still there. If the Qi State fights with the Jin State at this time, it is equivalent to doing Fan Xianzi a big favor. It will make the Jin State's six ministers work together to foreign countries. Will the Qi State have a chance then?"

Gao Zhang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly. He had to admit that what Meng Di said was very reasonable. The best way at this time is to watch the state of Jin fall apart and weaken rapidly.

When the state of Jin is out of breath, give them a fatal blow, so that the state of Qi can dominate the world with the least cost. Because of understanding this, Gao Zhang looked at Meng Di with a bit of fear .

This Meng Di is so young, with such vision and insights, his future is sure to be limitless.

Sensing Gao Zhang's gaze, Meng Di smiled slightly and said pointedly.

"Qi State has been stable for too long. Although some families are in chaos, the overall strength has not been damaged. Under this situation, if Gao Xiangguo wants to let Qi State dominate, he must first achieve no internal control. Worry, and make friends with the princes."

"When Duke Huan of Qi ruled the hegemony, the Battle of Long Spoon broke out with the State of Lu. Although Lu State won, he was convinced by Duke Huan of Qi's hegemony. Why? follow."

"However, the state of Jin has been dominant for a hundred years, and now it does not behave like a big country. They are betrayed because they have broken their trust with the princes. Therefore, whether the state of Lu is allied with the state of Qi is not the state of Lu, but the state of Qi. , because Qi is strong and Lu is weak."

In these words, Gao Zhang didn't care about the big truths, he clearly felt that Mengdi only emphasized three words, that is, inner peace, which made his heart skip a beat.

Now the government of Qi State is in the hands of the Guo family and the Gao family. Although the Tian family is next in line and behaves very obediently, but because they often do favors to others, they have quite good relations with those small and medium families in the Qi country.

This is a potential threat to Gao Zhang, especially during this period of time, how could he not be clear about Tian's actions at all, it is obvious that there must be something between Tian's and Meng Di secret.

Now hearing what Mengdi said again, Gao Zhang's first reaction was that the Tian family had a conspiracy, and after a moment of silence, he asked.

"I don't know what the internal worries Mengzi mentioned just now refer to?"

"Gao Xiangguo is the ruler of Qi State. Why do you ask Meng about this matter? Back then when Duke Huan of Qi ruled hegemony, he made great efforts to govern and reformed. This made Qi State free from internal worries. Does Gao Xiangguo think so?"

There are some things that need to be stopped. If you say it too clearly, it is equivalent to handing over your handle to the other party. Meng Di is not that stupid. If Gao Zhang can't think of what the internal troubles are, it means that Gao Zhang has It is not suitable to be the ruler of Qi.

There was a moment of silence in the study, Gao Zhang's face was uncertain, and he said this after a long time.

"Mengzi, you should be ready in the past two days. Marquis Qi will summon you into the palace at any time. The old man feels unwell today, so I won't send you far away. I hope Mengzi will go well all the way."

Meng Di knew that he had regained his freedom as soon as he heard it, and stood up to salute, while Gao Zhang just stood up and returned the salute without moving his footsteps.

When Mengdi left the study room, Gao Zhang walked to the window and watched his figure circle around the zigzag corridor and disappear, his face showed a dignified look. Gao Zhang was able to rule in Qi for so many years. Nature has its advantages.

From the conversation just now, he has keenly felt that Mengdi is revealing a message to him, that is to be careful of Mrs. Tian, ​​which makes him very curious. If the relationship between Mengdi and Mrs. Tian There is a connection between words.

Why did Mengdi remind himself at this time?
