When Meng Ben, who had returned to Qi, was "discovered" by the people of Qin, he naturally became one of the three strong men around King Qin. Moreover, compared with Wu and Ren Contempt, Meng Ben was slightly honest and had greater strength, which obviously made King Qin closer and became King Qin's assistant. No one thought that he would be the biggest chess piece that Zhao Guo had placed next to Qin Guo.

Not long after Meng Ben entered the Qin state, the Qin state launched a rebellion in Chenzhuang, the Xiangguo of Shu, and killed the Marquis of Shu. The king of Qin was furious that this kind of thing had happened just after he succeeded to the throne, and ordered the left minister Gan Mao to send troops to quell the rebellion. At the same time, Qin Wangdang also agreed to make an alliance with the king of Zhao, and the two monarchs met in Yin and Jin, which can be regarded as a temporary peace agreement between the two countries. And due to the alliance between Yan and Zhao, as well as Qin's confrontation with Qi in the Battle of Pushui, Yan also joined this alliance. The Triple Alliance of Qin, Zhao and Yan was formally formed.

The affairs of the Qin State can finally come to an end, and Zhao Yong and the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao State all feel that a mature monarch should recuperate and communicate with other countries in the coming days. And this is also what Zhao Guo wants to see. It's just that the ending is something they didn't expect.

In any case, Zhao Yong could finally draw his eyes back from the Qin State back to the Central Plains and the Zhao State, after all, for the Zhao State, this is the fundamental one. This time, Zhao Yong set his eyes under his nose.

In the past, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, which became a famous event in history. As a result, the powerful Jin State was divided by the Han, Zhao, and Wei families, and became Korea, Zhao, and Wei, and the era of wars among the princes began.

At the beginning, perhaps none of the three families thought that when history entered this stage, the original style of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette would turn into bloody and barbaric slaughter, and the war between countries was far from the original form of peace after you came and went, but an outright war of annexation. At this time, whoever is strong is qualified to annex others, or be annexed by others.

It is precisely because of being in such an ecological environment that the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, who originally relied on the Jin State and felt extremely powerful, began to be powerless when faced with the rise of the Qin State and the strength of the Qi State. Originally, one chopstick was easy to break, and three chopsticks were tied together, so it was not easy to break, which was a simple truth, but at this time, no matter who it was, it was necessary to inherit the mantle of the Jin State and become the spokesperson of the Jin State. This inevitably plunged the three into infighting.

In the early days of the three families, Wei Wuhou and Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi to change the law and take the lead in becoming stronger, whether it was Korea or Zhao, they had to respectfully dare not cause more trouble, and the main energy of Wei was also put on competing for hegemony with the rising Qin State, forgetting their two neighbors. And these two neighbors also began to form an alliance in secret.

After Wei lost the battle with Qin for supremacy, the fertile land he owned became the object of competition between the two countries. The two countries began to spare no effort to friction and fight with Wei. At the same time, the state of Chu in the south also began to move north to the Central Plains, and the state of Wei became the first obstacle in front of the state of Chu. For a time, the status of Wei was in jeopardy, and there were even many times when the country was in danger of annihilation. If it weren't for the strength of Wei Wushu, I'm afraid that the Wei State at this moment might not be much stronger than the Yan State.

Another important reason why Wei was able to survive was its relationship with Qin. King Wei Hui relied on his trust in Pang Juan to create the prosperity of Wei, but it was also the conceit and fighting on all sides of King Wei Hui that created the situation of Wei making enemies on all sides. There was no way, in order to survive, Wei could only start looking for new allies, while Qin, for its own interests in the Central Plains, also began to look for partners, and the two hit it off and became sympathetic allies. Although a lot of unpleasant things happened during the period, there was no substantial change in the relationship after practice.

But now, King Huiwen of Qin has died, and it is unknown how the new King of Qin will handle his relationship with Wei. Moreover, the Qin State has just gone through a major war with the Chu State, and its vitality has been affected to a certain extent, and the Qi State, the Chu State and the Song State have always coveted the land of the Wei State, and more importantly, Korea has also completely become an ally of the Zhao State, and the Yan State is also immersed in its own dream of recovering the country, and has no time to care about anything else. This made Zhao Yong see an opportunity.

This opportunity, to be precise, was sent to Zhao by Wei Guo himself.

The Battle of Pushui made Wei aware of a problem. That is the Wei State entrenched in the northeast of the Wei State, although it can be used as a buffer between the Wei State and the Qi State, but this land sandwiched between the Yellow River and Pushui, if it can be controlled by the Wei State, the Wei State will be able to carry out sufficient defense against the Qi State. At least if Qi attacked Wei by defending the country, he would still have time to defend.

With this in mind, the heir of the prince of Wei finally agreed to Chengling Jun, who had always coveted the defense of the country, and he would be responsible for organizing the army to attack Pingyang and other places that defended the country.

In the face of Wei's anger, Wei Guo obviously could not bear it, and soon, two cities, including Pingyang, were declared to be Wei territory, and the Wei army was like a bamboo, under the leadership of Cheng Lingjun, marching towards the capital of Wei Guo.

When the monarch of Wei Guo was panicking, he sent a doctor to persuade Wei to withdraw his troops. Ru Er persuaded Cheng Lingjun to give up attacking Weiguo, and on the other hand, he told King Wei that Cheng Lingjun accepted bribes from Weiguo and would definitely persuade King Wei to give up attacking Weiguo. Sure enough, Cheng Lingjun came to persuade the King of Wei to give up the attack, and was relieved of his military power by the King of Wei, and the Wei State also withdrew its troops from the Wei State.

This series of events was originally normal, but coincidentally, Cheng Lingjun's biggest ally in Wei, Xiang Bang Tian Xu, was also severely reprimanded by the King of Wei for this incident, which made him panicked, and he actually returned to the underworld because of this and died in office.

Tian Xu's death was so sudden that the King of Wei couldn't find his replacement for a while. But in the eyes of other princes, there is actually no shortage of people who can replace Tian Xu, and at least three people are enough to serve as them.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

When the female official came out of the inner hall with a crying newborn baby, Zhao Yong and the other concubines hurriedly greeted her.

"Congratulations to the king, the lady has given birth to a son."

When everyone heard that Meng Yao gave birth to a baby boy, their expressions were different.

Han Qian is the one with the most natural expression, she is considered to have no desires in the entire Zhao Palace, and Zhao Yong has never disliked her because she gave birth to a princess, but has taken good care of her.

I don't know why, Han Yan and Han Qian, two Korean princesses, are very weak. Before Han Yan came to Zhao State, her physique was very poor, if it weren't for Bian Que being retained by Zhao Yong in Zhao State until now, I'm afraid she would have died early. And since Mrs. Jun died, the entire harem of Zhao Kingdom needed her to manage it, and Han Qian assisted as a deputy, which barely supported it.

Because Han Yan had Zhao Zhang, Zhao Yong also respected her, so she didn't mention her children anymore, and after Han Qian gave birth to Peng Peng, her health was not as good as before, and Zhao Yong naturally did not force her to continue to give birth. As a result, the work of passing on the family line fell on the princesses of Chu and Meng Yao. And Han Yan, after obtaining Zhao Yong's consent, added several concubines and wives to the harem of Zhao to add heirs to the Zhao royal family.

Of course, Han Yan knew about the existence of Yin Hou, Wen Ji and others, and also knew that Zhao Yong had a deep affection for these women. However, she could also see that at least for now, Zhao Yong would not bring them into Zhao Guo's harem. This shows that Zhao Yong still respects Han Yan very much. And with the Queen of Yin and the others, she will turn a blind eye, as long as Zhao Yong doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, she can pretend not to know.

In this way, the only focus worthy of her attention is Mi Xi and Meng Yao.

Mi Xi married from Chu Guoyuan, although her identity is not as noble as her status as a real princess, but the alliance between Zhao and Chu also means how important Mi Xi's identity is, if this girl can give birth to one or two sons, he will probably be a big threat to Han Yan in the future, which made Han Yan not hesitate to play a good show with Wu Guang, and arranged Meng Yao to take the opportunity to arrange Mi Xi's around, which can be regarded as arranging the next chess piece.

However, I don't know if it's the dry weather in the north, and this princess is used to the humid Chu State, since she came to the Zhao Kingdom, she only smiled for a period of time when she had just finished marrying Zhao Yong, and then she became depressed. In front of Zhao Yong, if she can still force a smile, more often than not, she looks sad.

As the pace of further reform of Zhao Guo became faster and faster, Zhao Yong became more and more busy, and many things needed her, even Han Yan was rarely able to see him a few times, let alone other women. In this way, Mi Xi, who has a different accent from Han Yan and them, is becoming more and more isolated, and you may even often forget that there is also a princess of Chu in the palace of King Zhao. Even if Zhao Yong's love for her is higher than that of Meng Yao, she still has no signs of giving birth, but Meng Yao took the lead in giving birth to a baby boy.

"Whether it's a son or a princess, the widow doesn't care. Preferably a pair of siblings! "It's naturally good to have children, which also makes the busy and anxious Zhao Yong find a trace of fun.

"It's better for the king to give the prince a name."

Zhao Yong wandered around the hall with the baby boy in his arms, the candles in the court were burning, and a burst of candles burst out from time to time, he looked up at the sky, that is, around the hour, it seemed to be very early from dawn.

Suddenly, he thought of a poem, smiled and walked among the people, and said: "When I, Zhao Guo, am forging ahead and fighting hard, this son was born, just to help the widow share the burden." "Poetry" has clouds: how is the night? The night is not young. At this time, the sky has not yet dawned, just in response to this scene, this son, let's name Zhao He! ”
