Listening to the conversation between Zhao Zhihai and Zhu Lihua like a dumb riddle, Gu Daoyuan, who was thinking for a long time, suddenly understood after looking left and right for a few breaths.

It's just that he looked at Zhao Zhihai with a shocked look in his eyes and asked, "Could it be that those South Vietnamese people want to support Zhao Xi to ascend to the throne and turn their heads to support Qi Chunxi?" ”

Zhao Zhihai nodded lightly after hearing this, and then said slowly: "In my opinion, the possibility of this incident happening is very high.

But as for why they kept this matter a secret, I'm afraid it's probably to block the mouths of the nobles in the world.

After all, they are now in Wangji, how could the Son of Heaven allow Zhao Xi of the Chu State to be the prince of the country?

Therefore, this time, the Chu State handed over the soldiers and horses to the Son of Heaven, and I think the biggest reason is that Mi Chunxi wants to make a tacit deal with the Son of Heaven with this.

The state of Chu helped the Son of Heaven regain his prestige, while the Son of Heaven, who owed a great favor to the next heaven, agreed with the future proposal of the Chu State to appoint Zhao Xi as the prince of the country.

So if you look at that Mi Chunjia's obedient appearance now, it must be that he already knows that if he is no longer obedient, he will lose his only value, so he will desperately protect himself under the hanging of his life. ”

"However, I heard that there are still two sons of the Duke of Xiang County, won't they raise objections?" Gu Daoyuan wondered.

"Master Gu, Mi Chunjia can live until now, I think Mi Chunxi and Zhao Xi don't plan to kill him, which is enough to show that Mi Chunxi and Zhao Xi don't take Mi Chunjia in their eyes at all, and they are even more confident about Zhao Xi as the prince of the country.

You see, even Mi Chunjia can't be the monarch of the country, and Mi Chunxi is also fearless, so how can the two little sons in a corner of peace sit on the public seat. ”

Seeing that Gu Daoyuan still had a confused look, he immediately opened his mouth and explained to Gu Daoyuan.

And after Gu Daoyuan listened to Zhu Lihua's words, he immediately understood, so he shook his head and sighed and stopped talking.

Zhao Zhihai saw Gu Daoyuan's expression in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, he knew that Gu Daoyuan had been in the center for a long time, and he had long been familiar with this kind of game of power dumping between public offices, but he was not as fast as Zhu Lihua understood.

In the final analysis, the reason is that Gu Daoyuan attaches too much importance to clan etiquette, and he can't get rid of the shackles of etiquette when thinking about problems, so he naturally didn't expect this kind of "big rebellion" to happen.

In fact, in the invasion of the Rong people in the world today, the patriarchal ritual system for hundreds of years has begun to slowly collapse, and if you want to say that this kind of thing that deviates from the patriarchal ritual system appears, then the Qin State is much more than the Chu State.

It's just that the matter of Chu happened in the clan, so it was shocking.

Just as the three of them were talking, the toasts and greetings between the people in the cabinet seemed to have come to an end.

Zhao Zhihai, who had been observing everything all the time, smiled slightly, took Gu Daoyuan and Zhu Lihua to pick up the wine bottles on the table, and toasted Sangu and the host of the banquet respectively.

A false etiquette is naturally carried out impeccable from beginning to end, because both Zhao Zhihai and Gu Daoyuan are extremely familiar with such etiquette, and they have experienced such occasions again and again for decades, so every word and deed will seem to be at ease.

As the sound of the Chu Qin playing in the pavilion came to an abrupt end, the dancers in the pavilion retreated one after another, everyone drank the wine in the bottle, and the noisy voices gradually faded, and all the people raised their heads and looked solemnly at Mi Chunxi, who had just stood up.

"Lord Sangu, listed as the adults of the vassal states.

The junior Mi Chunxi invites you to come here to get drunk today

Weng Ge discussed the meeting, firstly, to express gratitude and repay you for your support to my Chu State over the years. The second is to discuss with you how to resist the Rong people.

You also know that Chunxi led an army of 500,000 troops north to resist the Rong people this time, and he has used all the soldiers and horses, so Chunxi told you unabashedly that these 500,000 soldiers and horses are the last force that Da Zhou can mobilize.

Now the soldiers and horses of the Qin State are deployed in Hedong County, the soldiers and horses of the Qi State are in the Yin of the Yellow Water, and the army of the Shu State is guarding against the Rong army in the north of Qinshan and Hanshui.

Therefore, to counterattack the Rong people, only I, the soldiers of the Chu State, can move.

Six months ago, Chunxi received an order from the Son of Heaven to lead the army to the king. At that time, Chunxi knew that the situation had reached the last moment of my Great Zhou, and my Chu State could not sit idly by and wait for its own destruction.

So after discussing with my second brother, I decided to send troops north to King Qin, and at the same time, we transported millions of loads of grain and grass in advance to help various countries resist the Rong army.

In a few days, it will be time to join the alliance, and the Son of Heaven will make the final decision on how we will send troops and how to fight, so today Chunxi hopes that everyone can speak freely and jointly negotiate a charter for the Son of Heaven to refer to.

If you are interested, please tell us in person, and Chunxi will listen to the teachings. ”

After Mi Chunxi finished speaking, he sat down after bowing to Sangu.

It was just that she had just sat down when she heard a sudden buzz in the silent pavilion.

After a few breaths, I saw Xiao Wenkao, the Zhengqing of Qi State, immediately get up, salute everyone in the cabinet slightly, and then say:

"Princess Mi led the army north, which is really a blessing in the world, and Xiao will not tell a lie.

This time I came to Wangji, Xiao was ordered by my lord to ask the princess to send troops to help me collect my homeland in the north.

But before talking about this, Xiao still has a few words to say and a few questions to ask.

These days, the four princesses are closed, and the reason and the princess's difficulties Xiao all know.

The situation in this world is no longer a matter of one country and one family, so it must be very difficult for the princess to be caught in it.

But the princess should not favor one over the other, and should not treat the princes of the nations equally.

It shouldn't have been when no one was gone, but he just invited Zhao Zhihai to enter the mansion several times to discuss.

This made Xiao a little puzzled, and hoped that the princess could explain a thing or two.

My Qi country is now in an extremely dangerous situation, so Xiao Mou spoke recklessly in a hurry, and asked the princess to understand Xiao's difficulties. ”

Xiao Wenkao's voice fell, and before he could sit down, several exclamations erupted almost simultaneously from all over the pavilion.

Obviously, Xiao Wenkao's words resonated with many people, and also made some people who only knew that Princess Mi had met Zhao Zhihai alone at this time showed a look of surprise and dissatisfaction.

Mi Chunxi closed the door to thank the guests, and anyone can figure out the reason. But Zhao Zhihai not only met with Mi Chunxi, but also met twice, the secret behind this matter must be very important.

How could the crowd not be amazed?

But seeing that Mi Chunxi's face still did not change, she slowly got up and said:

"Lord Xiao is serious, except for meeting with Lord Zhao twice these days, Chunxi has never seen the rest of the visitors equally, and he really didn't mean to target Lord Xiao. Please forgive me. ”

Xiao Wenkao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said with a gloomy face: "Since the princess also admitted to meeting Lord Zhao, then why do you want to."

Keep us out.

Could it be that there is any secret agreement between your country and the Qin state? In this world, it is not only his Qin State that is fighting against the Rong people, but also if the Qin State can promise the things of the Chu State, my Qi State can also agree. So please also ask the princess to think twice. ”

After Xiao Wenkao finished speaking, everyone in the cabinet looked at Zhao Zhihai, who was also a little stunned at the moment.

Although Zhao Zhihai didn't understand why the fourth princess would admit in public that she had met with her, she knew that something was wrong just by looking at the current situation.

At this moment, it seems that everyone will run into a wall with Mi Chunxi, and the anger formed is aimed at themselves.

Just when Zhao Zhihai was a little embarrassed, Qi Chunxi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Chunxi didn't see everyone because Chunxi had already said that my Chu army went north to King Qin to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, in order to avoid making the world laugh at the inconsistency of words and deeds, Chunxi refused to see guests.

But Lord Zhao came to see me in my mansion, but it was not to discuss matters related to reinforcements, so naturally it was not the reason for Chunxi's thanksgiving. I don't know if Lord Xiao is satisfied with this explanation. ”

Xiao Wenkao frowned when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "The difference between the four princesses, when the enemy is at this moment, who will go to the princess's mansion to discuss other things at this time." Although the fourth princess is young and promising, she can't say anything to deceive me.

My Qi State does need reinforcements from the Chu State at this moment, but if the Fourth Princess and the Qin State people reach an agreement, then what's the point of us people gathering here today to discuss. ”

Everyone in the cabinet was shocked when they heard this, and they all thought deeply of Xiao Wenkao's words, so they all looked at the protagonists of this matter with apprehension, Mi Chunxi and Zhao Zhihai.

But at this moment, only a few people such as Mi Chunxi and Zhao Zhihai understood the true meaning of Xiao Wenkao's sudden attack.

Xiao Wenkao seemed to announce the meeting between Mi Chunxi and Zhao Zhihai to the public, and his words offended Mi Chunxi, not to mention, but also offended Qin Guo.

But it was precisely because of this that the secret agreement between the two could not become a reality as planned, and even Qi Chunxi could not express his support for the Qin State.

Once she expressed her support for the Qin State, then she confirmed the secret agreement between Qin and Chu in advance, which greatly reduced the image of Mi Chunxi, and made the fact that the Chu State originally announced the king of the world a big joke.

I have to say that Xiao Wenkao's hand is not unskillful.

However, just as Xiao Wenkao sat down triumphantly, ready to let Xiangbang Tian Dong begin to tell the analysis of the situation in Qi that he had prepared, and the strategy of asking Chu to send reinforcements north to help Qi regain the land north of Huangshui. Qi Chunxi stood up with a smile on his face, with a slight ruddy color, and said aloud to everyone in the pavilion:

"Master Xiao raised an objection, if Chun Xi doesn't explain it to everyone, it will definitely make the seniors misunderstand. Although it is true that this matter is just a private matter of Chun-hee.

Originally, Chunxi was reluctant to appeal to the public, but since this matter had estranged the seniors and adults and affected the anti-war plan, Chunxi had to speak out. ”

When Qi Chunxi said this, her face turned shy. This princess, who has always been a heroic female general in everyone's minds, suddenly changed to a shy daughter.

This made all the nobles and ministers in the cabinet who were watching the change in Mi Chunxi suddenly feel a little strange in their hearts.

And everyone suddenly felt that this matter might be as Mi Chunxi said, and her meeting with Zhao Zhihai was just to deal with some private matters.
