The reason why Qi is known as a big country in the East, in addition to its vast territory, is the most praised for its ceremonial splendor and crowning the world.

The title of the state of etiquette is not as simple as saying it casually. This requires a lot of cultural precipitation and the accumulation of years. Be courteous and benevolent. Sometimes, all of these things need a sense of ritual to embody them. And when interacting with other vassal states, the people of Qi will pay special attention to these.

When King Zhao came to Canghai City in person, he naturally wanted to give the highest courtesy. This time, even the faction led by Qi Guoxiang and some generals in the army did not have any objections. Although they support several princes, they have always been in opposition to the forces that support the queen Wuyan. But in the face of such a national event, he did not dare to mix any personal emotions. After all, there is no doubt about the importance of developing good relations with Zhao, and this is the consensus of everyone inside and outside the royal court. No one is stupid enough to buck the trend at this time.

After a series of cumbersome rituals, under the watchful eye of the public, King Qi on the peacock platform raised the wine cup in his hand and saluted King Zhao with an equal attitude. Although their age difference was nearly three rounds, at this moment, Tian Jiang, who had frost on his temples, and Chu Jiangmian, who was in high spirits, were standing as tall. Because one of them is the king of Qi and the other is the king of Zhao!

Chu Jiangmian took the wine cup and drank it all without the slightest hesitation. Seeing his calm expression, many people's eyes showed admiration. Not to mention anything else, just this kind of trust and no suspicion of the people of Qi has won countless admiration.

And the royal court ministers, generals, and princes standing around the Peacock Terrace, although their faces did not show anything, their thoughts in their hearts were different. Especially the faction headed by the Prime Minister of Qi, seeing that King Zhao was so popular with the people of Qi, they couldn't help but glance at each other silently, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In the case of the inaction of the King of Qi himself, which direction will the State of Qi, which was greatly influenced by the Zhao State, go in the future development? Although no one dares to be sure yet, some uneasiness is inevitable.

Ordinary people certainly don't have the long-term view they think. Since King Zhao has brought so much help, of course he is the benefactor of the Qi State. The stronger the relationship, the better. What's more, everyone has already heard that legend. The queen intends to marry Princess Sanssouci to King Zhao, and if this is true, it would be great.

And for Qi Gongzi Tianxian, who was standing on the left side of the peacock platform, his feelings were naturally different from others. Looking at the big scene in front of him, not only did he not have the gratitude and excitement in the hearts of the people of Qi State, but his face was full of gloom.

This eldest son, who has always been secretly supported by Qi Guoxiang and others, can be regarded as a person who has made a little difference among the sons of Qi Wang Tianjiang. Although he has no shortage of problems with eating, drinking and having fun, for some ministers with ulterior motives, supporting him is the best choice.

Among the princes and royal families in the world, the most indispensable thing is the battle of the veil. There are endless battles in the open and in the dark, and all kinds of calculations emerge one after another. Even the Great Zhou royal family is difficult to put an end to, how can there be an exception in the palace of the King of Qi?

In a popular sense, Tian Xi, who is the eldest son, can naturally be qualified as the heir to King Qi. And he has been preparing for this goal for many years. But until now, the King of Qi has never publicly stated that he wants to pass the throne to him. To say that there is no resentment in the heart is false. As long as his status is not established for one day, Gongzi Tian Xian will resent one more day. However, if Tian Xi has a lot of resentment, he only has three points of resentment against King Qi, and the rest is against the queen!

The more the queen was respected and loved by the people of Qi country, the more resentful and dissatisfied Tian Xi became. Because, the queen is not his mother, and she is not the mother of several other princes.

The queen, who only has a daughter of Princess Sanssouci, holds so much power and wealth in her hands, what does she want to do? Tian Xi, like many others, has asked this question thousands of times in his heart. In their perceptions, it was never thought that the queen was doing this for the sake of the common people. This woman is the one who is pictured!

Fortunately, Qi Guoxiang and several important generals in the army supported him. Whatever their purpose is, as long as they have the ability to put themselves on the throne in the future, it will be enough.

If it is said that before today, Gongzi Tianxian consciously still has a lot of confidence and capital, and he can compete with the queen Wuyan's forces at a critical time. But just now, he felt a deep sense of frustration and a serious sense of crisis.

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

Hearing the whispers in his ears, Tian Yi quickly hid the emotions in his heart, and his face returned to calm. Glanced sideways at the person who spoke. That's Shogun Tian Ji. Not daring to slack off at the moment, he hurriedly smiled and said.

"General Tian, I'm just happy for Qi Guo, and I haven't thought much about the rest."

Tian Ji smiled secretly. He had been observing for a long time just now, and the appearance of this boy gritting his teeth was in full view. Not only him, but others around him were already aware of it. How can such a psychological quality become a big deal?!

"Childe, at a time like this, you must be calm! Don't show any dissatisfaction on the outside...... Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to death! Remember, remember! ”

Tian Ji admonished him in an uneasy tone. That said, there is inevitably some unceremonious elements. But it's all for the good of the other party. If it is based on the relationship, Gongzi Tian Xi still calls him an uncle. He was also fully qualified to speak to him like that.

Tian Xi's face changed slightly, but he had to admit that the other party's advice was not untargeted. It's just that the bottom of my heart is indignant after all. The sounds around me were even louder.

"General Tian, how long will we have to endure? The father didn't care about anything all day long, and saw that the power in his hands was transferred to the woman's hands step by step...... If this continues, we really don't have the capital to fight against it! ”

Since there was no one else around, Tian Xi no longer hid his dissatisfaction. General Tian Ji and Qi Guoxiang are both strong supporters of him, and there is no need to hide any thoughts from them. Tian Ji glanced around and saw that everyone was watching the conversation between King Qi and King Zhao, and no one noticed this. He lowered his voice and persuaded him.

"I have discussed with the Prime Minister several times recently, and we all feel that it is not appropriate to act rashly in a short period of time. Childe, you just need to be prepared with peace of mind, it should be your thing, and it will be your ...... after all. ”

"But...... In this situation, how can people be reassured? If you look at the elated appearance of the Lanling monarch and the queen, they completely regard this victory of the Qi Kingdom as their greatest credit! In the future royal court, will there be room for us to speak? Hum! ”

There was a faint anger in Tian Xi's eyes. He had endured it for so many years, and he really didn't want to wait any longer. Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao who was treated with the courtesy of the whole country, looked at least a dozen years younger than him, but he had already achieved such an achievement! Can't you be? He couldn't figure it out, since his father had done nothing himself, why didn't he give up the royal power and give his son a chance to display his talents!

Tian Ji sighed. Childe's mood is understandable, but he is too impatient. If there was a better candidate, they certainly wouldn't have chosen him. But now he has no choice but to bite the bullet and try his best to help him get to the top. It seems that some secrets need to be revealed to him a little.

"Childe, don't be impatient! Maybe...... You don't have to wait too long for this time. ”

What do you mean by that? General Tian ......! ”

"The king is sick, and his life is not long in coming!"

Tian Xian, who heard these words in his ears, suddenly widened his eyes. This is the first time he has known such top-secret information. The bottom of my heart immediately thumped.

"Is this true? If...... That's great! ”

Tian Ji automatically ignored the great rebellion in Childe's words. He just nodded, in the affirmative. Childe Tianxian's eyes radiated a scorching light. However, when he saw the young figure on the peacock platform again, a little haze flashed on his face.

"So, have General Tian and the Minister of State considered it...... What about the disadvantages brought about by King Zhao's entry into Qi? ”

"Childe doesn't need to worry about this! King Zhao's influence on the Qi state was limited. He will leave soon, and if nothing else, Princess Sanssouci will also go with him to the Kingdom of Zhao...... Hehe! What else does Childe have to worry about? ”

"That being said, if the queen's forces get his help in the future, it will be harmful to us after all."

"The so-called one time, that time! Who can say for sure what is to come? As long as Gongzi grasps the opportunity well, when the time comes, he will achieve great things in one fell swoop and take the power of Qi State into his own hands, and the rest will not be worried! ”

"Alas! General Tian, Zhao Guo is too powerful, it is always unsettling! It would be nice if Chu Jiangmian had some accident...... Hehe! ”

Childe Tian Xi smiled coldly, hating that the curse would come true immediately. Tian Ji shook his head disappreciatively. This boy is really whimsical. If you want Chu Jiang to die, how can it be so easy? It is said that he was able to survive several hardships, but they did not have such a strong warrior in their hands.

However, nothing in this world is impossible. The two people who were whispering quietly here never thought that what they just said casually would really happen!

After nearly half an hour, the tedious ceremony on the Peacock Terrace was finally coming to an end. The ceremonial officer of the Qi royal court stepped back, and then, carried out the last item.

The princes of the world, each his own king. All of them are capable of flaunting cultural governance and martial arts. Although the Qi State is not good at martial arts, on such a grand occasion, of course, it is indispensable to show off the elite armament.

The next moment, the army of the chief Ge in armor entered and began to be inspected by the king!
