Linzi, Miyagi.

The singing is melodious and the dancing is graceful.

Qi Wangjian sat on the top, with a slight flush on his cheeks, and his eyes stared at the dancing girl in front of him for a moment.

The vivid and graceful body looming behind the light gauze dance clothes made Qi Wangjian involuntarily feel a dry mouth, and subconsciously drank the wine in front of him.

But the strange thing is that after Qi Wangjian drank this glass of wine, the feeling of dry mouth did not disappear, but became more intense.

Qi Wangjian exhaled a long breath, and even the breath he exhaled had an obvious scorching breath.

It seemed that it was time to end this banquet, Qi Wangjian shook his head and thought a little drunk.

At the end of this feast, it was an indescribably wonderful night.

Qi Wangjian's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he seemed to see those indescribable lingering situations, that joyful feeling...

"The king, the king?"

A very inopportune call instantly pulled Qi Wangjian's thoughts back, and his body shook violently, only to realize that Hou Sheng had appeared in front of him at some point.

Qi Wangjian smiled, looked at Hou Sheng without the slightest embarrassment and said, "Hou Qing, why is there no music?" That's it, so that the musicians dispersed, and the widow went back to the palace to sleep. ”

Hou Sheng smiled bitterly, and the expression on his face was a little not good-looking: "The king, the queen mother is here." ”

"What?" Qi Wang Jian was taken aback, and then he found that his mother, the Empress Dowager of Qi State, was standing at the bottom of the main hall and looking at him, and her face did not look good.

Qi Wangjian subconsciously stood up, and said with a smile on his face while facing the queen: "Queen Mother, why is it suddenly in the middle of the night... Ouch! ”

Qi Wangjian's feet slipped and fell all fours, which made the surrounding palace people exclaim, and hurriedly came up to help Qi Wangjian up.

After King Qi finally sat down, the queen's cold voice sounded: "You can go down." ”

In just a few breaths, all the palace people present disappeared cleanly, leaving only Qi Wangjian, Queen Jun and Hou Sheng present.

The queen glared at Hou Sheng's unsuccessful brother fiercely: "It's not going down yet!" Don't let the king indulge in such pleasures henceforth! ”

Hou Sheng smiled wryly, and immediately walked away with oil on the soles of his feet.

After experiencing such a fright, coupled with the big fall just now, Qi Wangjian's drinking spirit suddenly woke up more than half.

The young monarch of Qi looked at his mother, smiled a little embarrassedly, and wanted to defend himself: "Queen Mother, actually..."

"The king doesn't need to say much." The queen interrupted Qi Wangjian's words and said, "Let's sit down first." ”

Qi Wangjian didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully let the queen to the top, and sat down at the bottom.

This kind of action undoubtedly made the queen's expression look better, and her tone became softer: "Does the king know why the old woman came late at night? ”

Qi Wang Jian smiled and said, "The queen mother, few people know. In the future, we must reduce pleasures and be more diligent in government. ”

The queen glanced at Qi Wangjian deeply, and after a while, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"King, the country of Qi is going to die today! Not only does the king not know, but he is still enjoying himself here, and the old woman is really ashamed of the previous king! ”

Qi Wangjian immediately panicked when he heard this.

What kind of person this queen mother is, of course Qi Wangjian knows very well.

The queen has always been known for her virtuous name.

This virtuous person does not refer to the virtuous person who is "virtuous in running the family", but refers to the virtuous person who is "virtuous in governing the country"!

If the queen can say so solemnly that "the country of Qi will die", then it means that the crisis faced by the country of Qi must not be small!

Therefore, the king of Qi asked the question: "Queen Mother, what is the matter?" ”

The queen looked at Qi Wangjian fixedly: "The king really doesn't know what's going on?" ”

Qi Wangjian was full of doubts, and finally shook his head: "The widow really doesn't know. ”

The queen couldn't help but shake her head, the disappointment on her face was overflowing, making Qi Wangjian both puzzled and a little ashamed, and he didn't understand what the situation was at all.

The queen didn't let Qi Wangjian doubt for too long.

I saw the queen speak: "Does the king know the alliance of the three jins?" ”

Qi Wangjian suddenly realized, patted his thigh and said, "What did the queen mother say about this?" Please rest assured, the widow has long known that Zhao Wang Dan is the one who decided to make the alliance of the Three Jins, not against the widow and the Qi country, but to go west to destroy Qin! ”

The queen shook her head and said, "The king may have thought about this matter too simply. ”

Qi Wangjian learned to be obedient this time, closed his mouth and waited for the queen's next words.

The queen said: "Presumably, the king knows that today, it is Qin and Zhao who are fighting each other. ”

Qi Wangjian nodded.

The queen said: "In the opinion of the king, if Qin and Zhao fight, if they must win a victory, how can it be beneficial to the Qi country?" ”

Qi Wangjian thought for a while and said, "Qin's defeat of Zhao Sheng should be beneficial to the Qi State." ”

In Qi Wangjian's view, the Qin State has been a Western Heavenly Tyrant for decades since Qin Wangji ascended the throne, and such a country is of course something that anyone must fear.

Zhao Guo, after all, there is no foundation and heritage, and the rise is not difficult to deal with.

But what Qi Wangjian didn't expect was that when the queen was faced with this answer, she actually chose to deny.

"The words of the king are fallacious."

Qi Wangjian was puzzled: "Why? ”

The queen said: "Qin State, Qi Zhiyuan is also worried; Zhao Guoze, Qi Zhi is also worried. Although Qin was strong, it could not seize a single piece of land from the country. Zhao Ruoqiang, the destruction of the Qi State is imminent! Isn't the loss of the land between the rivers a precedent? ”

Only then did Qi Wangjian understand.

In fact, it is a geographical problem.

The states of Qin and Qi did not border, but the states of Zhao did border the states of Qi.

This determined one thing, that is, it was impossible for the Qin State to have any thoughts about the land of the Qi State, but the Zhao State was just the opposite.

Which country has taken the most land from the nascent Qi since the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi? The answer is Zhao Guo.

Zhao State, under the leadership of the great general Lian Po, took away almost the entire Hejian Land of Qi State.

Qi Wangjian seemed to understand something, looked at the queen and said, "Does the queen mother mean that she hopes that the widow will fight against Zhao?" ”

The queen said, "That's what the old woman meant. ”

Qi Wangjian let out a long breath and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, the envoy of the Qin State is now in Linzi, and the widow will summon him into the palace tomorrow and make an alliance with the Qin State!" ”

The queen nodded, and suddenly said, "How many gentlemen are there in the Jixia School Palace?" ”

A trace of embarrassed anger flashed on Qi Wangjian's face, but in the end he said: "Except for Huang Laoxue, all of them have gone to Zhao Yin." ”

The queen snorted coldly, and a hint of chill also flashed on her noble and beautiful face: "A group of people who tend to be inflammatory! The king must remember that when the country of Qi becomes rich and strong in the future, such people will no longer be used! ”

Qi Wangjian nodded and said, "No." ”

After saying this, the queen stood up: "It is getting late, so please rest early, my lord." After speaking, he didn't stop, and walked straight to the outside of the main hall.

Qi Wangjian watched the figure of his queen mother gradually disappear into the darkness outside the hall, and only after a long time did he sigh softly.

"How difficult it is to be the king of a country! Widow... Alas! ”
