1380. Hanging the people

The princes who watched Han Zhao's sudden attack on Wei were all very shocked, after all, no one thought that after the battle between Qin and Jin, Jin would fall into a civil war.

Qi country, Yingqiu.

Wan Hao Buzheng sent an envoy to Yingqiu and prepared a big gift, hoping that Qi would not intervene in this war, for Wan Hao Buzheng, what they were most worried about was Qi Guo's involvement.

Wan Hao didn't think that the Qi State would come to help the Wei State, and he didn't want the Qi State to help Han Zhao to attack their Wei State, once this happened, then Wei might cease to exist.

The envoy he sent was a Zhongqing in the court, and a Confucian scholar named Zhou Jian, who was also a Confucian scholar in their Hexi Province.

Wan Hao didn't just want some of the old ministers of the court to come to the Qi country, but after looking at the current court, because Wei Wuji was under house arrest, many people resigned one after another, and those who stayed in the court were people from their faction.

The people of their faction are a group of people, Wan Hao doesn't know it well, but now the important positions in the court have been occupied by their people, and he only selects from these people, and he is taller among the short ones, and finally chooses this Confucian named Zhou Jian.

Although the level of this Zhou Jian is not very high, and Wan Hao knows it, he has a lot of trust and expectations for Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian looked at Qi Xiaobai and gave Qi Xiaobai a courtesy: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qi Empire!" ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian: "If you say polite words, you will give me no excuses!" ”

"Wei Ben is the fief of my Great Qi Empire, and he Wei Ying dares to be the emperor, this is simply contempt for my Great Qi Empire!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian coldly.

At the beginning, Wei Ying came to Yingqiu to meet Qi Xiaobai as the emperor and called himself the vassal king of Great Qi, of course, both of them also knew that this was only a nominal thing, and Wei Ying could do whatever he wanted to do when he returned to Wei.

But nominally, it was also Wei Ying who was a courtier of the Qi State, and after Wei Ying returned to Wei, under the instigation of Wei Wuji, he established the Jin State and called the emperor.

But in this regard, Qi Xiaobai was helpless, after all, he did not plan to send troops to attack Jin, because at that time, the Jin State had just been established, and if the Qi State sent troops to attack Jin, even if it won, I am afraid it would be difficult to annex the Jin State, so I will give up at this time.

Qi has the intention to intervene in Wei's affairs, but it is not possible to go in like this, he needs to stand on the moral high ground, and he must be justified in sending troops, even if his purpose is to invade and occupy Wei, but he wants to justifiably attack Wei and let the world know that it is not that he has no intention of fighting Wei, but because of some things.

Zhou Jian was stunned, he didn't expect Qi Guoguo to say something so early, he wanted to give Qi Xiaobai some gifts and let Qi Xiaobai watch from the wall, but looking at it, he understood that Qi Xiaobai would definitely not watch from the wall easily.

Of course, at this time, he had to play his role, and when he just wanted to say something, Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said: "Wei Xing's rebellion against the ministers, my empire must punish it!" ”

"Otherwise, how can my Great Qi Empire still stand in the world?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said.

Your Wei State is the courtier of my Qi State, your monarch is our vassal king, you openly established the Jin State, openly proclaimed the emperor, what is this regard as my Great Qi Emperor?

Isn't this a rebellion? How can my Great Qi Empire endure this breath, so I must send troops.

In Qi Xiaobai's words, they sent troops this time in the name of sending troops to quell the rebellion, who is the traitor? It's Wei Jun. E-book bar

Although the family surnamed Wei has occupied it for many years, and although the Wei State calls you a monarch and considers itself a courtier, the Qi State has never really touched there.

But what Qi occupies is a reputation, which has not been touched before, but it does not mean that it will not be involved in the future, and Wei Ying also admitted at the beginning, Wei Naiqi's ministers, now that you are the emperor, you are still on an equal footing with the emperor of Daqi, from the perspective of an emperor, this is not a traitor, what is this?

Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said, "Don't say anything else, I will let your monarch know what it means to hang the people!" ”

"What is it called, Great Qi Empire!"

Zhou Jian was stunned, he didn't expect that Qi Xiaobai didn't have the slightest right to speak to him, this crime of hanging the people was a word that the emperor said when he crusaded against the princes.

And Qi Xiaobai is now the emperor, and he is the emperor who inherits the Great Zhou orthodoxy, in his eyes, Wei is a prince, and he is also a prince who submits to his banner, and now he is called the emperor, he has a reason to crusade.

Originally, Qi Xiaobai wanted to use the text to beg the thief, but thinking that Wei was also a prince and a monarch, Qi Xiaobai said the crime of hanging the people.

"Hang the people and fight the crime, and put down the rebellion against Wei!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said.

"Tell Wei Si and let him see the imperial army of our army, of course, if he surrenders the whole country and comes to me to confess his guilt, I am still willing to give him a way to live!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said.

Zhou Jian looked at Qi Xiaobai and was silent for a while, Qi Xiaobai was on the emperor's throne at this time, drinking tea and looking at Zhou Jian with both eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to send troops to my Great Wei?" Zhou Jian looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked again.

"The little Wei land, the vassal king of Qi, also dares to be called the Great Wei?" Zhang Tianshang on the side stood up and looked at Zhou Jian and said.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Jian and said: "I give Wei Si three days to think about it, I will send and send troops to attack Wei, if Wei Si is willing to surrender the whole country, hand over Wei's jade seal, and bow down to my Great Qi Empire!" ”

"I'm willing to help take revenge on Zhao and Han Erguo!"

After Zhou Jian heard Qi Xiaobai's words, he laughed and said, "Help me Wei take revenge on Zhao Han?" ”

"The Great Qi Empire is planning to conquer the Central Plains and unify Kyushu!" Zhou Jian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Qi Xiaobai did not deny that Qi now has enough troops, strategic resources are sufficient, and there is no war in the north, and the outside is peaceful.

Moreover, at this time, the opponents of Qi, Qin and Jin, were already crippled, and the only one who could really compete with Qi was Chu, and Chu had always implemented a policy of appeasement against Qi.

It can be said that it has fueled the ambitions of the Qi State, and the Chu State has many opportunities to block the development of the Qi State, but because the Chu State is bent on chasing the Central Plains, it ignores the suppression of this emerging country that has risen in the east, the Qi State.

After the death of King Huai of Chu, the King of Chu was young, and there was no one among the princes who could really control the entire Chu State, Wu Qi's reform failed, and the Chu State fell into a dark stage of a vacuum during this period.

And this stage is also the best stage for the development of the Qi State, because the Chu State fell into the dark stage period, the Qi State gradually became bigger and expanded its power, and when the Chu State Huang Xie was in power, the Qi State had become a great climate.
