Chapter 753: The Troubled Monarchs and Ministers of the Qi Kingdom (First Update)

What Kuang Liang didn't know was that his letter had caused a lot of trouble to the Qi Wangjian and Housheng Junchen in Linzi.

You must know that during this period of time, Qi Wangjian was completely addicted to Gentle Township, so he handed over all the affairs of Qi to Hou Sheng.

And Hou Sheng is also a very unreliable person, in order to maintain Qi Wangjian's trust in himself, so Hou Sheng is also a mind to either follow Qi Wangjian's side every day, or take Qi Wangjian to enjoy together, where is there air to manage the government affairs of these tired people?

Therefore, in fact, the five officials of the Qi State who are now in charge of handling affairs are the five major officials of the Qi State under the victory of the Xiangbang.

The four great officials of the Qi State who were in charge of these affairs (Da Situ Kuangliang led the troops outside) did not dare to slack off after seeing this letter, and immediately went to find Hou Sheng.

As a result, Hou Sheng did not leave the palace in the palace that day, so it was not until the next day that the letter reached Hou Sheng's hands.

After Hou Sheng saw this letter, he was immediately startled, and the whole person couldn't care about the fatigue of just a night with Qi Wangjian, so he got into the carriage and hurried to the palace city of Linzi, and forcibly asked the palace people to call Qi Wangjian, who was still asleep.

When Qi Wangjian rubbed his eyes and appeared in front of Hou Sheng in his nightgown, the king of Qi still had obvious bloodshot in his eyes, and his tone was very unkind when he spoke: "Houqing, what kind of thing can make you so eager to come to see the widow?" ”

Looking at Wang Jian's attitude full of getting up, he knew that if Hou Sheng couldn't give a satisfactory answer, then a vicious reprimand would definitely not be able to run.

Hou Sheng showed a wry smile on his face, and said to Qi Wangjian in front of him: "The king is not a minister who deliberately wants to disturb the king's rest, but this matter is very urgent, and the minister has to do it." ”

As he spoke, Hou Sheng handed the letter in his hand to Qi Wangjian's hand respectfully.

Qi Wangjian saw Hou Sheng's words, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, he still suppressed his anger, took the letter in Hou Sheng's hand and read it carefully.

Looking at it, the anger on Qi Wangjian's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn face.

After reading this letter, Qi Wangjian couldn't help but say to Hou Sheng: "Hou Qing should have read this letter, right?" ”

Hou Sheng nodded and said with a wry smile: "The minister is because he has read this letter and knows what is written on the letter, so he entered the palace for the first time to ask to see the king, hoping to make the king make a decision." ”

Qi Wangjian nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Hou Sheng's answer, so he continued to ask Hou Sheng: "In that case, does Hou Qing think that Kuang Liang's judgment in the letter is true?" ”

Hou Sheng pretended to think for a while, and then said to Qi Wangjian: "King, the minister thinks that Kuang Liang has always been very calm, and he should not have the courage to lie to the king. ”

Of course, Hou Sheng chose to believe in Kuang Liang, because Kuang Liang actually wore a pair of pants with Hou Sheng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Hou Sheng is a person.

If it weren't for Kuang Liang's consistent victory over the years, then Kuang Liang would have been removed from his post a long time ago after losing so many battles, how could he still be the commander of the Qi army this time as the great Situ of the Qi State?

After hearing Hou Sheng's answer, Qi Wangjian frowned deeply, and after a long while, he said with a worried face: "I didn't expect King Zhao to be so bold and want to directly annex Wei at the risk of the world's disapproval. This is really something that the widow has never thought about for a long time. ”

Hou Sheng nodded and said: "King, if the Wei State is destroyed, then the entire Warring States situation will be turned upside down, and the minister thinks that the king must deal with this." ”

Qi Wangjian nodded and said, "Then Houqing will talk about it first, what kind of response should the widow make?" ”

After all, Qi Wangjian's mind was completely on women for a while, so he really couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Besides, the monarch is supposed to make decisions, and if the monarch has to find a way to solve everything, then what is the use of so many ministers?

Hou Sheng thought for a while, and then continued to say to Qi Wangjian: "That's the case, the minister thinks that the king should quickly contact the kings of other countries and tell them the fact found in the letter. Then unite the princes to jointly oppose Zhao's unreasonable annexation of Wei! ”

Qi Wangjian pondered for a while, and slowly said, "Houqing, in fact, it may be too late to make this plan at this time. ”

Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but open his mouth and say to Qi Wangjian: "Why did the king say this? ”

Qi Wangjian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao still understands this person, he has always planned and then acted, and his people are good at combining vertical and horizontal, even if he wants to destroy the Wei State, I am afraid that King Zhao will not eat alone, but will choose to find other countries as helpers." ”

Hou Sheng nodded, somewhat understood what Qi Wangjian meant, and said, "So the king will think that this time Zhao will look for Chu as a helper?" ”

Qi Wangjian nodded and said: "That's right, the widow thinks that the truth of the matter should be like this, after all, the war between the Chu State and the Wei State has not ended yet, and it is impossible for the people of the Chu State to let go of such an opportunity." Moreover, the widow also felt that maybe not only the Chu State, but even South Korea had already joined the side of the Zhao State. ”

After Hou Sheng heard Qi Wangjian's words, his whole face couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and he subconsciously raised his voice: "Even South Korea has already joined Zhao Guo's side?" In this case, the Wei State may be really dangerous! ”

You must know that in Hou Sheng's prediction in advance, if it was only Zhao who wanted to destroy Wei, it would actually be very difficult, because other countries would not agree to Zhao's attempt to destroy Wei so easily.

But now that Zhao Guo has actually pulled in the two countries of Chu and South Korea as helpers, then things will be completely different.

The power of Zhao is stronger, and the power of opposition is weaker, and it is undoubtedly much more difficult to oppose Zhao State.

Qi Wangjian rubbed his eyes, his whole face showed a tired look, he let out a long sigh, and said, "This is what the widow is worried about. If you think about it, if Korea and Chu have really been co-opted by Zhao, then if the widows want to prevent Zhao from annexing Wei, they can only unite Qin and Yan. In this case, the odds are really not good. ”

Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "Great King, although the Zhao State is strong, if it can really gather the strength of the four countries of Qi, Qin, Yan and Wei, it will not be able to fight with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Chu!" ”

The reason why Hou Sheng is so resolutely opposed to Zhao Guo is, of course, not because of his attribute of worrying about the country and the people, but because during this period of time, the envoy from Duan Ganzi of Wei State gave Hou Sheng a large amount of treasures and money, and bribed Hou Sheng to find a way to keep Duan Ganzi.

The premise of keeping Duan Ganzi is, of course, to keep the Wei State.

Qi Wangjian looked at Hou Sheng with a resolute face, smiled slightly bitterly, and said: "Hou Qing, Hou Qing, don't forget King Zhao's dispatch this time, it was in the name of eliminating the rebellious ministers and thieves Duan Ganzi. In the hearts of the people of the world, this King Zhao occupies the great righteousness, if the widow takes action to stop him, then won't the widow become an unrighteous person who helps Duan Ganzi? ”

Hou Sheng frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, when is this, you, the king, still pay attention to these things?

Righteousness and injustice have always been used to deceive the people, why are you also the king of a country, and you still believe this?

The righteousness of the Zhou Dynasty is heavy enough, but so what? Zhou Tianzi is now living a miserable life than any feudal monarch of the Warring States, is there even a little bit of the majesty of the ancestors?

When Zhao really annexes Wei, I see what you, the king who keeps talking about righteousness, will do!

Qi Wangjian sensed something from the strange look on Hou Sheng's face, coughed a little embarrassed, and said, "What's more, even if the widow sends envoys to Yan and Qin now, the distance will be a problem." ”

There are no cell phone radios these days, and notifications like this must only be able to rely on the four legs of a horse.

If it is Yan Guo, it is easy to say, after all, Yan Country is a neighbor of Qi State, and it will take about ten days to go back and forth.

But if it was the Qin State, it would be too far.

Spread out the map of the Warring States and see that the Qi State is located in the easternmost part of the Seven Heroes, and the Qin State is located in the westernmost part, and it will take at least a month just to come and go.

If you send the best riders to deliver the news, in fact, this time can be shortened a lot, but the problem is that this kind of national event will definitely not work if you don't send a messenger with enough weight, but the messengers with enough weight are all pampered ministers of the Qi State on weekdays, and it is impossible to do it like those eight-hundred-mile fast horse knights who travel day and night, changing horses without changing people.

Qi Wangjian sighed and said, "Hou Qingru think about it, how many things has Zhao Guo been able to do in this month?" I'm afraid that by that time, the Wei State has been completely annexed by the Zhao State! ”

Hou Sheng took a deep breath, thinking of the twelve glittering night pearls that Duan Ganzi specially sent to send, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "King, no matter what, this time we must not let the Zhao State annex the Wei State, otherwise the Qi State will be in danger!" ”

Qi Wangjian was stunned when he heard this, looked at Hou Sheng with some surprise, and said to Hou Sheng: "Why does Hou Qing ...... So determined? ”

Qi Wangjian is really a little strange, after experiencing several failures, Qi Wangjian does not like to be involved in the struggle for hegemony from the bottom of his heart, after all, it is annoying enough to be afraid of every war.

In fact, even Qi Wangjian himself didn't know that he was a super good man who hadn't fought for decades in another time and space.

This can only be said that after the butterfly effect that someone crossed, Qi Wangjian's character who actually didn't like to make trouble slowly "brought the monarch of Qi back on track".

Hou Sheng's eyes flickered slightly after hearing Qi Wangjian's question, but no matter what, it was definitely impossible for Hou Sheng to tell Qi Wangjian about it.

Therefore, Hou Sheng could only say to Qi Wangjian: "Great King, please think about it, if the Wei State is destroyed, will the Zhao State stop the pace of further expansion?" No, it won't. At that time, does the king think that the Zhao State will take the Qi State as the next target? ”

Qi Wangjian's body suddenly couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

Not to mention, such a possibility...... It really doesn't seem small.

Qi Wang Jian laughed dryly and said, "After all, the Wei State is one of the seven warring states, even if the widow does not make a move, it should not be destroyed so easily...... Right? ”

Qi Wangjian was very unconfident when he spoke.

Hou Sheng stared at Qi Wangjian with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "No, the king should know very well in his heart that if there is no help from other countries this time, the Wei State will definitely perish!" ”

Saying that, Hou Sheng stood up directly, pulled the hem, and knelt down on one knee: "The minister asks the king to save the Wei country this time for the sake of tens of millions of people in the Qi country!" ”

Qi Wangjian looked at Hou Sheng, and many complicated expressions flashed on his face.

After a long time, Qi Wang Jiancai sighed faintly.

"That's it, you should immediately select and transfer people, and use the fastest speed to envoy Qin and Yan to the two countries. I just want ...... It's still too late. ”

Hou Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The king is wise! ”
