Chapter 362: Lobbying Unfolding at the Same Time [Two in One]

"PS: What do you say about this book, there are nearly 2,000 book friends who are subscribing, so I'm really embarrassed to cut off, try to finish writing the "Battle of Qi to Destroy the Song Dynasty", which is considered the climax of the node, and in the future, I will return to the full overhead similar to Dawei, I can't control the historical theme, and I'm too tired to write."

———— the following text————

After saying goodbye to Tian Wen, Li Dui and others in front of the palace gate, Meng Zhong took Meng Hu and several guards and walked to the palace again under the leadership of Fei You.

During this period, it was natural to avoid Fat You's complaints about Meng Zhong, which was nothing more than accusing Meng Zhong of ignoring Zhao Wanghe during the banquet.

Hearing those words, Meng Zhong sighed and didn't explain.

Seeing Meng Zhong's sigh, the fat boy wanted to speak again and again, but in the end, he shook his head and didn't say anything more.

After a while, Fei You led Meng Zhong to the palace of the king who had come today, raised his hand and said to Meng Zhong: "The king is waiting in the palace, go." ”

Meng Zhong was silent for a moment, then straightened his clothes and walked into the hall alone.

At this time, in this hall, only King Zhao He is sitting on the throne, and there is only one palace lamp in the hall with a flickering candle, which makes the atmosphere in the hall extremely stagnant.

Looking towards the dim and empty surroundings, Meng Zhong walked straight to where Zhao Wang He was, and then saw Zhao Wang He watching him walk in step by step.

Four-eye handover.

This situation is very similar to the day when he broke off with He En, the king of Zhao, a few years ago.

On that day, it was also in this palace that King He of Zhao expressed his hatred for Lord Zhao's father to him, and categorically rejected Meng Zhong's request.

Taking a slight breath, Meng Zhong bowed his hand and said, "Wei Chen Meng Zhong, meet King Zhao." ”

Hearing King Zhao's title, a little disappointment appeared on King Zhao's face, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "...... After a few years of not seeing, Meng Zhong became more and more powerful. ”

As he spoke, he saw that Meng Zhong still maintained the appearance of bowing, so he said again: "There are only you and me in the palace at the moment, widows...... I just want to ......"

At this point, he paused and said, "Even if it's just tonight, I hope to have a conversation like I did back then." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong slowly straightened up, looked at King Zhao He Banxiang, and suddenly said to himself: "This time the next generation of King Wei came because of Qin Qi's ......."

"I don't want to hear that right now."

Interrupting Meng Zhong's words, Zhao Wanghe shook his head and said, "I just want to talk to Qing...... Have a seat. ”

Meng Zhong lowered his head and took a closer look, only to find that there was a bamboo mat in front of him, he glanced at Zhao Wanghe, and after a little hesitation, sat down cross-legged on the bamboo mat.

Seeing this, Zhao Wanghe nodded slightly, and then said with a little emotion: "I know, Meng Qing is afraid that he still hates me today, and hates me for killing my master father by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui, but why didn't Meng Qing think about it the other way?" Isn't Meng Qing's hatred for me the same hatred I had for my master father at the beginning? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Zhong's increasingly burly physique with some envy, and said with emotion: "In my impression, Meng Qing is both civil and military, and it is the late master father who has high hopes for Meng Qing from the beginning, and if you think about it carefully, I am surprised that I was not jealous of Meng Qing at that time...... It stands to reason that I should be jealous of Meng Qing, after all, my father's expectations for Meng Qing have never been encountered by me, my own son. Like this, I can also understand why Meng Qing hated me so much after the death of my master...... But I have never been jealous of Meng Qing, that's because, although I have never experienced this kind of feeling on the side of the master, I have felt it on the side of the fat side, hehehe, think about it carefully, I can't stand the fat child, you who died early in your biological father, felt the fatherly love on the side of the master father, and I was not valued by the master father because of my frail and sick body since I was a child, but I felt a father-like love on the fat side, but the fat child was neglected since he was a child, and if I think about it carefully, it is really pitiful......"

At this time, the fat young man happened to walk in from outside the hall, and when he heard this, he asked puzzledly, "Poor? Why is it pitiful? ”

Zhao Wanghe and Meng Zhong both looked at the fat child.

"Where's Ah Hu?" Meng Zhong asked.

Fatty You shrugged his shoulders and said, "He hinted that I would treat him well, so I called two palace maids......"

"This guy ......"

Even Meng Zhong gritted his teeth with hatred at the moment, and couldn't help but scold: "What else do you say to protect me......"

Hearing this, Fei You smiled and said, "You are still not at ease in this palace? ”

As he spoke, he casually sat down on the ground, looked at Zhao Wanghe and Meng Zhong, and asked, "How are you talking?" ”

Probably because of the fat and young beside him, Meng Zhong's mood also relaxed a little, and said lightly: "I just said it...... King Zhao felt that he owed you and stole the father-son relationship of the fat phase from your side. ”

"Oh." Hearing this, the fat young suddenly said, "This is not stealing, I have a bad relationship with my father since I was a child, he is too strict, every time he sees me, he has to discipline me, and then every time he returns to Fengyi, I secretly escape, so as not to run into him and be reprimanded by him...... The king said, "I lacked discipline at that time......"

"Huh." Meng Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, he also thinks that this is right, as the son of the dignified Zhao Xiang Feiyi, it is really embarrassing that the fat young man is not able to write and martial arts, but when it comes to the reason, it is indeed that Feiyi was busy with affairs back then, and he had to deal with the affairs of the minister every day, and he also shouldered the responsibility of teaching the prince Zhao He, and neglected to discipline his own son.

"Hey, what do you mean by laughing?"

Hearing Meng Zhong's laughter, Fat Young said dissatisfiedly: "In my opinion, loyalty is also a talent, right, Your Majesty? ”

What else could Zhao Wang say, so he had to nod with a strange expression.

With Fei You on the side, the tense and awkward atmosphere between Zhao Wanghe and Meng Zhong also dissolved.

Immediately, under the questioning of Fei You's generation, Meng Zhong told Zhao Wang He and Fei You about his experience after the Dune Palace Change, from the Battle of Fuyang to returning to Mengyi to get married, and then to defecting to Wei, helping Wei win the Battle of Yique and the Battle of Wanfang, and all the way to the war between Qin and Wei to rescue Song.

Hearing these experiences, Zhao Wanghe and Fei You both felt sighing for Meng Zhong's experience over the years.

"Amazing."

I saw Fatty You patting Meng Zhong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the Jinyang Shou ...... who was once determined."

Hearing this, Meng Zhong's face changed slightly.

At this time, Zhao Wanghe also looked at Fei You a little nervously, and frequently made his eyes, but Fei You shook his head slightly at Zhao Wang He quietly, as if to express that it didn't matter.

Yes, Fei You's testing Meng Zhong's attitude.

Don't think that Fei Youyou can't write or martial arts, just think that he is a full straw bag, in fact, this guy is also very smart, but just like Zhao Wanghe said, this guy has lacked discipline since he was a child, and only knows how to go hunting in the mountains with the clansmen, but this does not mean that Fei You doesn't understand anything, in fact, he also has his cunning and wit that has been mixed in the market all year round.

No, he deliberately said to Meng Zhong: "I once heard my dead father say that the master father had a small talk with my father one day before his death, and he mentioned you during the chat, saying that you will definitely be qualified for the position of Jinyang Shou in ten years, and now look at it, the master father's eyesight is really powerful, only a few years?" If you were fifteen years old at the time, it would have only been five years, and you would have defeated the Qin State twice...... Awesome, amazing. ”

“……”

Meng Zhong glanced at Fatty You and didn't speak, but there was obviously a message in his eyes: What are you doing with this?

Fei You didn't explain, and said to himself: "Think about it again, there was really a gathering of talents around the master father at that time, except for Pang Xuan's temporary whereabouts, like you, as well as Ju Xin, Le Yi, and Zhao Hao, they have all become characters now...... If you still stay in my Zhao country, I really don't know how strong my Zhao country is? ”

『…… Are you hinting at me something?'

Meng Zhong opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask Fat You, but in the end he didn't ask.

Also, it's too late to mention this now, and Wei Wangyun is not thin on him, how could he abandon Wei and go to Zhao? What's more, Zhao Guo's position is now unclear.

After thinking about it, he said, "Let's not mention the past." ”

After that, he looked up at Zhao Wang He and asked, "King Zhao, this time I am representing the Wei State as an envoy to your country, how about hearing my intentions first?" ”

Zhao Wanghe was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Meng Qing said." ”

Seeing this, Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "This matter should start from Wei Ran, the minister of Qin, who sent an envoy to Qi, after the battle of Tancheng, the two armies of Qi and Yan were defeated and retreated, and then Wei Ran went from Tancheng to Linzi of Qi to meet the king of Qi...... Later, we learned that Wei Ran proposed to the King of Qi the 'Qin and Qi Mutual Emperors'......"

"Emperor Qin and Qi Hu?"

At the same time, in the mansion of Fengyang Jun Li Dui, Xue Gongtian Wen also happened to talk to Li Dui, Li Ji and his son about the mutual emperor of Qin and Qi.

Li Ji was not very clear about this, and asked puzzledly: "What is Emperor Qin and Qi?" ”

Tian Wen explained: "That is, to imitate the King of Xuzhou who was the prime minister of our Wei State back then, so that Qin and Qi would recognize each other's thrones, so as to reach a consensus." ”

Hearing this, Li Ji widened his eyes and said in shock: "Doesn't this move treat the Zhou royal family as nothing? ”

The Zhou royal family?

Fengyang Jun Li Dui snorted lightly, turned his head to Tian Wen and said, "I see, no wonder your attitude of Wei suddenly changed drastically...... Come to think of it, originally your Wei State wanted to take this opportunity to remove my phase, who would have thought that Wei Ran would send an envoy to the Qi State, and Qin Qi might have signs of an alliance, so your Wei State panicked......" Speaking of this, he looked Tian Wen up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "In other words, Xue Gong's envoy to my Zhao State this time is most likely to persuade me that Zhao State will fall to your Wei side, right?" Don't deny it, but you even sent Meng Zhong here, you want him to convince the king, right? …… This is really interesting, regardless of the king's side, why does Xue Gong think that you can convince the old man? The old man didn't want to offend King Qi. ”

Hearing Li Dui's words, Tian Wen chuckled and said: "Fengyang Jun, there was once a mountain, there was a tiger and a tiger in the mountain, and they all wanted to compete to be the king of the mountain, but there were still wolves and foxes in the mountains in addition to the two beasts...... Now Wei and Zhao are the strongest wolf foxes among them, do you think Qi and Zhao will let go of these two wolf foxes? Think about it carefully, Fengyang Jun, once the Qi State and the Qin State reach an alliance, the general trend of the entire world will completely change, and at that time, the Zhao State will no longer be important to the Qi State. ”

“……”

Hearing Tian Wen's words, Fengyangjun Li Dui was silent.

It is true that Tian Wen is not wrong, and now Zhao is important to Qi because Qi does not have other powerful allies other than Zhao, so whether it is to annex Song or to fight Qin, Qi needs Zhao as an ally.

And in general, the alliance of Qi and Zhao was mainly for the purpose of uniting against the Qin state.

However, if Qin and Qi did form an alliance, although Qi would not immediately dissolve the alliance with Zhao, Zhao would not necessarily follow in the footsteps of Song and become another country to be annexed by Qi after Song and Yan.

But Xue Gongtian Wen wanted to use this incident to persuade him to change his position and turn his back on Qi and fall to Wei, Li Dui could only say that the other party was thinking too much.

After pondering for a while, Li Dui shook his head and said: "This matter of Emperor Qin and Qi is just a speculation of your Wei State, the old man has not received any relevant news, Xue Gong wants to use this matter to deceive me Zhao State and Qi State to break off diplomatic relations, hehehe......"

Tian Wen smiled faintly when he heard this: "I don't expect your country to sever diplomatic relations with Qi State, I just want to maintain the status quo." ”

"Status quo?"

"Not bad!" Tian Wen nodded and said: "Among the countries, the alliance between Qin and Qi is the most intolerable, and I believe that Fengyangjun also knows the benefits and disadvantages, so there is no need to elaborate too much below." …… If the two countries of Qin and Qi really concluded an alliance under the pretext of mutual emperors, then they would have to be destroyed no matter what, what does Fengyang Jun think? ”

Fengyangjun Li Dui nodded slightly.

Indeed, although he would not give up diplomatic relations with Qi because of Tian Wen's few words, considering his Zhao State and his own interests, he did not want Qin State to conclude an alliance with Qi State, after all, this matter was not a favorable thing for either Zhao State or himself.

Thinking of this, Li Dui nodded and said, "In this matter, the old man will be on Xue Gong's side." ”

Hearing this, Tian Wen was overjoyed, and immediately took out a small book of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Li Dui with both hands.

"This is ......" Li Dui took the bamboo slip and glanced at it a few times, and then raised his eyebrows.

At this time, Tian Wen said with a smile: "I know that the king of Qi used Taoyi as a lure to deceive Fengyangjun to assist Qi in his crusade against Song, causing Fengyangjun to fall into such a situation today...... In fact, whether it is in Xia or the king of our country, there is no malice towards Fengyangjun, except for Zhai Zhang...... Fengyangjun You know, Zhai Zhang has been stationed in Yecheng for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be some friction with your country all year round, not to mention that Fengyangjun was stationed in Zhongmu back then, and he fought against him, it may be for this reason that Zhai Zhang will listen to the deception of the Qin people, and persecute your country together with the Qin people, asking Fengyangjun to give up the position of Zhao Xiang...... In fact, this is not the original intention of our king. No, when the king learned about it, he recalled Zhai Zhang, and he was deeply ashamed of Fengyang Jun, so he let him bring this thing and seal Heyang and Gumi in the world......"

Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ji from the side.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Let King Wei bother......" Li Dui said with a smile.

To be honest, he didn't believe a word about Tian Wenfang's explanation.

Without the instruction of the King of Wei and the acquiescence of Tian Wen, Zhai Zhang dared to unite with Bai Qi of the Qin State to force him to retreat from the position of Zhao Xiang?

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Zhao Wanghe's support for him this time, he Li Dui would not be able to withstand the pressure of Qin and Wei.

But Tian Wen said today, is that Zhai Zhang's obstinate action?

Are you kidding?!

But as the so-called cannibalism has a short mouth and a soft hand, since he has received benefits, of course Li Dui must cooperate with Tian Wen's performance, and he can't be pursued again because of this matter, which is also an unwritten rule.

So he quietly handed the bamboo book in his hand to his son, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old man also believes that this is the arbitrariness of that Zhai Da Sima, so naturally he will not have any prejudices against King Wei and Duke Xue." ”

"Fengyang Jun is noble." Tian Wen smiled and arched his hand.

The two knew each other.

From the side, Li Ji happily read the contents of the bamboo album, and was glad that he had obtained two fiefdoms.

In fact, to tell the truth, Fengyang Jun Li Dui is a lot older, and the reason why he wants Taoyi is nothing more than to leave it to his children and grandchildren, although he failed to get Taoyi this time due to the interference of Qin and Wei, but Wei offered Heyang and Gumi, and in general it is not too much of a loss.

Seeing that Li Dui and Li Ji's father and son were extremely satisfied, Xue Gongtian Wen also let go of a boulder in his heart.

On Li Dui's side, he has already pacified, and the only thing left is Zhao Wanghe's side.

"I don't know how Meng Zhong talked to King Zhao."

While chatting and laughing casually with Li Dui and Li Ji's father and son, Tian Wen secretly thought in his heart.

At the same time, in the main hall of the palace, Meng Zhong had already told Zhao Wang He and Fei Yi about the interests behind Qin Qi Mutual Emperor, and Zhao Wang He frowned frequently.

It was mentioned at the beginning that in view of the fact that the State of Qi had fallen into the trap of Zhao, the father of Zhao had a strong hostility towards the State of Qi, coupled with the civil strife that occurred in the State of Qin, the father of Zhao took the opportunity to interfere in the establishment of the heir of the State of Qin, and successfully forced the State of Qin to compromise with the State of Zhao, and according to the intention of the father of Zhao, he supported the current King of Qin Yingji to ascend the throne, which made the father of Zhao reduce his vigilance against the State of Qin, and instead regarded the State of Qi as the main target, until the State of Qi also submitted to the State of Zhao.

But the king of Zhao is different, he accepts the teachings of Feiyi, there is no prejudice against all countries, and it is purely the way to form an alliance with whoever is beneficial to Zhao - he is a decent monarch.

If you want to say that you have any likes and dislikes for the countries, it can only be said that King He of Zhao now has some good feelings about the Qi State and the Song Kingdom.

The good impression of Qi Guo is very simple, because his main room is the daughter of Qi State, because this woman has been in love for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have a good impression of Qi State; As for the Song Kingdom, it is simpler, because Meng Zhong was born in the Song Kingdom.

The only thing that is a little annoying is probably Wei Guo, and the reason is probably that Wei Guo robbed him of Zhao Guo's Jinyang Shou.

Of course, this is only Zhao Wanghe's personal preference, and he is not a monarch who makes judgments based on personal preference.

Otherwise, he would have taken this opportunity to remove Li Dui as prime minister, Li Dui has controlled the government for several years, and let him be the monarch of Zhao as a puppet, why don't you really care when King Zhao? - He just felt that Li Dui was indeed a talent, and he didn't want Zhao to give in to Qin and Wei, so he supported Li Dui to resist the coercion of Qin and Wei.

It is precisely because of this reason that when Meng Zhong mentioned the harm of Emperor Qin and Qi to the countries of the Central Plains, Zhao Wang He naturally chose to side with Wei.

At this time, Meng Zhong also took out a small bamboo album from his bosom like Xue Gongtian Wen, the content of which was that the king of Wei dedicated Yin Cheng and Ge to Zhao State.

To be honest, for this gift from the Wei State, Zhao Wanghe didn't care at all.

Is there a shortage of land in his Zhao country?

There is no shortage at all!

You must know that from the west to Fushi, north to Yanmen, Daijun, winter solstice Beihai (Bohai), south to the big river, are the land of his Zhao State, in addition to Chu and Qin in the world today, the largest land area is Zhao State, but most of them are not rich.

Compared with the Wei State offering Yin Cheng and Ge Sin, Zhao Wang He hoped to get other offerings.

For example, if he returns the Jin Yang Shou of Zhao State, then Zhao Wang He can also consider considering King Wei's proposal and re-conclude the Three Jin Alliance with Wei and Korea.

Putting aside the small bamboo album without care, Zhao Wang He said lightly: "The heart of the King of Wei, the widow has received it, in the matter of Qin and Qi Emperors, I, Zhao State, will inevitably stand on the side of Wei State, and will never tolerate the alliance between Qin and Qi...... But the alliance of the three jins is still allowed to be considered again. Eventually...... Although Zhao and Wei have the love of the Three Jins, but the Wei State has repeatedly invaded our Zhao State, and now my Zhao State is prosperous and the Wei State is weak, and the King of Wei is looking for the idea of concluding the alliance of the Three Jins, hehe......"

Seeing that Zhao Wang He shook his head and smiled, Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "I think that although Wei and Zhao had contradictions before, considering that the biggest threat at present is the Qin State, I feel that we should unite with each other...... After all, Qin's entry into the Central Plains will inevitably threaten Zhao as well. ”

Zhao Wang He waved his hand and interrupted: "I understand what Meng Qing said, in the matter of fighting against Qin, I, Zhao Guoguo, will give some help to Wei and Han, and at the same time, I will not sit idly by and watch Qin and Qi conclude an alliance, but ...... That's all. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wanghe's attitude was very firm, Meng Zhong also gave up continuing to persuade, anyway, his goal this time was achieved.

At this time, Fei You saw that he was almost finished talking, and suddenly interjected and asked, "Meng Zhong, have you ever thought about going back to Zhao Kingdom?" ”

I have to say that his abrupt words made Meng Zhong and Zhao Wang He stunned.

You must know that Zhao Wanghe has been going around for a long time, and he has not mentioned this matter, he is just testing before and after, and now Fei You suddenly broke this matter, not to mention that Meng Zhong was startled, even Zhao Wang He was a little flustered about this, and gave Fei You a look.

However, Fei You ignored Zhao Wanghe's eyes, and pretended to smile lightly: "Look, now that the monarch has regained power, Li Dui will no longer be a threat from now on, if you can return to the Zhao Kingdom, I think the monarch will definitely reuse you, right, your lord?" ”

"Hmm, hmm, heh......"

Zhao Wang He was vague, said a few words with unknown meaning, and looked at Meng Zhong expectantly despite his gaze.

After all, putting aside their previous friendship, Meng Zhong is also a hot new celebrity, not to mention that King Zhao met Meng Zhong a few years ago and has special feelings for the latter.

It's not a strange special feeling, it's just that in Zhao Wanghe's view, Meng Zhong may be the image of the most satisfied son in Zhao's father's mind, which also explains why Zhao's father treated Meng Zhong like he treated his son back then, just because Meng Zhong has both civil and military skills, which makes Zhao's father the most satisfied.

And this is exactly what Zhao Wang, who has been frail and sick since childhood, does not have.

In addition, Meng Zhong inherited the thoughts and ideas of Zhao's father to a certain extent, so in a sense, Meng Zhong is also the brother of Zhao Wanghe, the one who is not related to each other by blood, but the most satisfying to Zhao's father, and the "brother" that Zhao Wanghe can't reach in his life.

"How?"

Fat Young asked with a pretended to be relaxed.

looked at Fei You, and then at Zhao Wanghe, Meng Zhong opened his mouth several times, but in the end it was just mixed with a wry smile, and shook his head slightly: "It's late, so I won't disturb King Zhao's rest, and I will leave first." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wanghe's eyes flashed with a little disappointment, and he quietly watched Meng Zhong get up and say goodbye, and then walked to the palace gate.

At this time, Zhao Wanghe suddenly had a strong desire in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Meng Qing, are you still hating me because of the matter of the master father?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong's footsteps suddenly stopped.

At this time, the air in the hall seemed to freeze all of a sudden, making King Zhao He secretly swallow his saliva.

But immediately, Meng Zhong continued to walk forward silently, and did not look back until he walked out of the temple gate.

Seeing this, Zhao Wang He let out a long sigh.

Just as he would not forgive Master Zhao and Zhao Zhang back then, sure enough, Meng Zhong would not forgive him either.

On the side, Fei You hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the coming day is long, I think one day, Meng Zhong will finally be considerate of your ...... If you think about it, isn't it good to talk about it? That's a good omen. ”

"I hope so......"

Hearing this, Zhao Wanghe showed a little wry smile on his face, and turned his head to look at the palace gate where Meng Zhong had just left.

Yun Chengjun of Wei State, and Jin Yang Shou of Zhao State......
