Chapter Seventy-Four: The Monarchs and Ministers of the State of Qi
On the Lu side, the king of Lu received a message from Zigong before Zigong returned to Qufu to know that Wu sent troops to help, so Zigong had not yet entered Qufu City, and the people were already waiting for Zigong's return at the city gate.
Zigong Fang and Qufu boundary, then ushered in the sincere cheers of the people, Zigong saw the people like this, he was excited, entered the city of Qufu, and entered the Lu Palace under the cheers of the people.
On the other hand, Su Dai returned to Linzi City, the capital of Qi State, and did not attract the attention of the people, on the way back, Su Dai was extremely bitter in his heart, seeing that the convoy had entered the city, Su Dai sighed secretly, and then ordered the attendant to order the convoy to go straight to the Qi Palace.
In the palace of Qi, Tian Sui, the king of Qi, was in the Zhanghua Hall and Meng Weijun Tianwen, the general of the army Gongsun Xia, and the general of the cavalry Chen Shu to discuss the matter of Valu, and heard that the inner servant came to say that the envoy of the Su Dynasty had returned, and the King of Qi immediately summoned the Su Dynasty into the palace.
Everyone saw Su Dai enter the palace, quite tired, and his expression was also bitter, everyone knew that the Su Dynasty envoy Wu Guo was afraid that he would not be able to achieve the trust of the King of Qi, Su Dai was a disciple of Meng Weijun, only to see Meng Yanjun Tianwen saw Su Dai enter the palace, so he said, "Su Qing has been tired all the way, running for my Qi country, and this gentleman is quite unbearable in his heart"
Su Dai heard Meng Yanjun's words, and saw that Meng Yanjun did not immediately inquire about the envoy to Wu, and was more sympathetic, Su Dai couldn't help but be moved in his heart, but he also knew that everyone was looking forward to it, so he bowed to the king of Qi and said, "The envoy is entrusted by the king, and I ask my king to punish him."
The ministers heard Su Dai's words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, only to see Qi Wang Tian then heard Su Dai's words, and did not immediately speak, Tian Sui wanted to come to Qi and Wu recently and Wu had no war, Wu attacked the Yue country, Qi did not take advantage of the void to enter, at this moment heard Su Dai's words, his heart couldn't help but give birth to an inexplicable color, and then said, "You will send Wu to the affairs of the country to the widow
Su Dai heard the words of the King of Qi, saw that the King of Qi did not want to get up by himself, and saw that the King of Qi was quite puzzled, so Su Dai brought the things in the palace of Wu that day together.
Waiting for Su to speak, the people in the palace heard that Zigong was actually brought to Lu Guoshu, at this moment Lu is even more dependent on Wu, everyone was relieved, the King of Qi heard the details here, and knew in his heart that this defeat was not the fault of Su Dai, but the King of Qi couldn't help but be angry in his heart, Lu rebelled against Qi, and now he is attached to Wu, and there is a great ridicule of the Tian family for taking the throne, and the King of Wu does not think about the grace of Qi, and he is determined to help Lu, which is really too deceitful.
King Qi's expression changed for a while, and then he said, "Su Qing, please get up, this matter is also known to the widow, it is not your fault, you will retreat."
Su Dai heard the words of the King of Qi, so he got up and confessed, then turned around and left the Zhanghua Palace, and before that, Su Dai glanced at Meng Yanjun again, and saw Meng Yanjun showing a look of comfort, Su Dai was relieved.
When Su Dai came out of the Zhanghua Palace, Tian Sui immediately said angrily, "Wu Guo is so rude, if you can't capture Qufu of Lu State, the widow will never stop."
Seeing the angry appearance of the King of Qi, the three important ministers of His Royal Highness did not speak immediately, and the King of Qi saw that the three of them did not make a sound, so he sighed and said, "How can the widow not know that the Wu State has been leveled now, and there is no more constraints, and my Qi State has been a rebel since the Tian clan replaced the Jiang clan, and the people of the country have not yet been stable. β
The three of His Royal Highness are all ministers of the Tian family, so the king of Qi did not hide his worries, since the Tian family has been in Qi, the Qi family has many moves to leave other countries, so the king of Qi has the intention of forcing the Lu country to re-attach itself to the Qi country, and naturally there is also the intention of embankment the Wu country.
Seeing that the king of Qi was already worried, Meng Weijun Tianwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said again, "The king's words, the subordinates also think so, but the king has ever thought that if my Qi army loses in the battle of Valu, how can my Tian clan explain to the subjects, the Guan clan and the Sima clan have long been disobedient, but I am afraid that they will also take advantage of this to make trouble."
Tian Wen's father and the previous King of Qi are siblings, and Tian's ability to become the official office of Qi is the work of Tian Wen and Tian Sui's grandfather Tian Chen, so Meng Weijun and King Qi are in the same vein, only to see that the King of Qi heard Tian Wen's words, his brows were tightly locked, and after being silent for a long time, he actually showed a decisive look, looked at Tian Wenyan and said" Brother's words, how the widow doesn't know, but the elder brother should know that now the Jin State is three points, the name of the overlord is no longer worthy of the name, and the Chu State is even more under the attack of the Wu State to retreat to the national capital, if my Qi State can not contain the momentum of the Wu State, I am afraid that the next time the countries are aligned, the Wu State will become a new generation of overlords, and my Tian clan's inheritance divine power is already weaker than the other seven countries, if my Qi State is weaker than Wu, why should my Qi State stand among the top eight countries again, so the widow is determined to raise 300,000 troops to waru"
Tian Wen heard Tian Sui's words, and his heart was worried, only to see that he was quite relieved, and said to the king of Qi, "Hearing the king's words, the subordinates can't help but feel comforted in their hearts, thinking that my Tian clan has gone through several generations to replace the Jiang clan in charge of the Qi country, if I can't make my Qi country dominate the countries, how can my Tian descendants face the ancestors, and the ministers have no objection to the matter of Valu."
Tian Sui saw that Tian Wen was actually in favor of raising troops to fight Lu, Tian Wen's words were quite tentative, Tian Sui couldn't help but make up his mind, thinking that Tian Wen was also in mind about the matter of Valu, so he said, "Brother has a plan in his heart, and he is faster than a widow."
Tian Wen saw that the people in the hall were all looking at him, and he did not hide it, so he said, " The subordinate expected that the army of Wu State had just pacified Yuedi, and was already tired, if he wanted to send troops to help Lu, he was afraid that he would have to transfer the troops stationed in Chu, and at this moment Chu State was under the Chunshen monarchy, and there were already soldiers who could fight, if my king could repair the book in Chu State Chunshenjun, when I sent troops to attack Lu, Chunshenjun Yu Yingdu sent troops to attack the Wu army stationed in Chu, and I wanted to come to Chunshenjun will definitely move, so that my Qi and Chu armies can become horns, and Wu Army can not take care of each other at the end, Wu State will definitely be in chaos, this time the troops should be able to capture Lu State in one fell swoop, and be able to reconcile with Chu Stateβ
Tian Sui heard Tian Wen's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he laughed and said, "Brother's words, very comforting to the widow's heart, so that the widow can repair the book in Chunshenjun, just wait for Chunshenjun to reply to the letter, my Qi country will immediately send troops to attack the Lu country"
Gongsun Xia in the palace, Chen Shu heard the words of King Qi and Meng Weijun, and immediately attached himself and arched his hand and said, "The king is wise, and the king is strategizing in the court, and my Qi country will dominate the countries."
The king of Qi was also in his heart at this moment, so he looked at the two and said, "You will immediately return to the army tent and prepare for the war, and this battle should boost the prestige of our Qi country."
When the two heard the words of King Qi, their hearts were also excited, so they said, "Obey the king's order, and the ministers will return to the camp to order troops" and then withdrew from Zhanghua Palace.
Seeing this, Tian Wen also said goodbye to the king of Qi, and the king of Qi saw Tian Wen say goodbye, and then got up and said, "If you are so widowed, you don't leave your brother, if you can capture Ludi this time, your brother should take the first credit."
Tian Wen saw that the king of Qi was like this, so he said, "The king stays, and the subordinates are also the children of the Tian family, so they should be the liver and brain of my Qi country."
After Tian Wen left the Zhanghua Palace, Tian Sui sat down in the palace, and a trace of complexity flashed in his heart, Tian Wen's talent, Tian Sui was not ignorant, but Tian Wen has always been a child of the Tian family, and he is very virtuous in the hearts of Qi people, so Tian Sui has a lot of precautions for Tian Wen, if it is not for Zigong to leave, the position of Qi State Xiangguo will not fall into the hands of Tian Wen, but this time the matter of Valu, Tian Wen made suggestions for Qi State, and did not see that he had any selfishness, which made Tian Sui feel guilty in his heart.
