At this time, the Jin Kingdom.

Ji Rong, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were on the courtiers.

To be precise, the quarrelsome courtiers.

Among them, the main one that attracted his attention was the courtier Su Dai.

Su Dai is the eldest brother of Su Zhuo, another minister of the Jin State, this Su Zhuo was in the process of the rise of the Jin Kingdom, trying his best to assist the first emperor, more precisely, it should be the first emperor of the first emperor, because it is already the matter of the above two generations.

At that time, Su Zhuo used the method of winning together and breaking through one by one in the surrounding countries, so that the Jin State could save the day every time it was besieged by various countries, and he was a person who had achieved a great cause.

Therefore, Su Dai and his younger brother Su Li saw that Su Zhuo had become famous because of his assistance to the first emperor, and they admired Su Zhuo very much, and they also wanted to become a person like Su Zhuo, so the two studied the way of diplomatic relations diligently, often went in and out of the Dahonglu Temple, wrote the doctrine of diplomatic relations, and also accepted a large group of disciples.

The problem lies here, in order to help the Jin State for benefits, he went to the Wei State to carry out activities, and because he was favored by the Wei Emperor and was hated by the Wei nobles, the Wei nobles sent people to murder him.

After Su Zhuo's death, all the things that he destroyed Wei for the benefit of Jin were leaked, and the Emperor of Wei was very angry when he learned of this situation, and he was angry with Jin, at that time it happened that several large countries wanted to implement a strategy of encirclement of Jin, and the hegemony of Jin was still unstable, and even Chu responded from afar in the south.

The Emperor of the Jin State was very worried about this.

After Su Zhuo's death, Su Dai wanted to inherit Su Zhuo's old business, so he went to see the Emperor of Jin and presented the Jin Emperor with a strategy to break through the siege, and the first emperor of Jin adopted his strategy, and Su Dai stayed in Jin after that.

When Su Zhuo was in the Jin Kingdom, he married the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, and after Su Dai arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he also interacted with him, and the two were very friendly.

At that time, the prime minister had great political ambitions, and he was not satisfied with the status of the prime minister, but also wanted to further seize power, and in order to achieve his political goals, he sent Su Dai to Wei to serve the prince of Jin who was a hostage there, waiting for an opportunity to seek political benefits for himself.

Su Dai took advantage of the opportunity to report back to the Jin State and hinted that the Jin State should fully trust the courtiers, thus helping the prime minister gain more power.

Later, the first emperor of the Jin State was instigated by some people to let the prime minister regify on his behalf, and handed over all the power to handle the state affairs to the prime minister.

Wei and its allies took this opportunity to attack the Jin State and harass the border, and the second year after the death of the prime minister of the Jin State, the first emperor of the Jin State at that time also died, and the courtiers jointly supported the crown prince to inherit the throne, which was the real overlord of the Jin State and the father of the current emperor Ji Rong.

Because Su Dai had a certain relationship with the civil strife in the Jin State, he did not dare to return to the Jin State, so he and his younger brother Su Li joined the Wei State, and the Emperor of Wei treated them very friendly.

Once, Su Dai passed by Ruan Guo, and Ruan Guo helped Jin Guo capture him.

When the Emperor of Wei heard that Ruan had captured Su Dai, he sent an envoy to Jin to persuade the first emperor of Jin to release Su Dai, and Su Dai went to Dong again, and the Dong Emperor was very friendly to him.

The Wei State united several small countries and wanted to attack the Dong State, the Dong State was in danger, and Su Dai, who was in the Dong State at that time, wanted to help the Dong State relieve the crisis, so he wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Jin State, in which he said:

"The Jin State is located among the great powers with 10,000 military chariots, but it sent hostages to the Wei State, with a low reputation and low power, and dedicated a large number of troops to help the Wei State attack the Dong State, the people are tired, and the property is consumed, even if the Dong State is breached, it can only make the enemy stronger and stronger and mutilate their own country, these three aspects are the biggest mistakes of the Jin State. Yet His Majesty continued to do so. If Sheng Guo is allowed to annex them, it will double the power of Sheng Guo. Then it became a big problem for the Jin Kingdom. A powerful Wei State, the Jin State is still like a wolf and cannot support it, and now that a powerful Sheng State has descended on the Jin State, this scourge must be great. ”

"Now if Your Majesty wants to turn the scourge into auspiciousness and the failure into success, it is better to encourage the countries to make friends with the Wei State, send envoys to the Dali royal family to form an alliance, and publicize the strategy of attacking the Ruan State, the Jin State and the Sheng State cannot get benefits but must do so, now if you don't contact, the Wei State may shake the hegemony of the Jin State, and the princes all support the Wei State and you do not allow it, which will cause the hegemony to be shaken, so that your reputation will be humble."

The emperor of the Jin State read Su Dai's letter and thought that Su Dai's opinion was very reasonable, and said to the people around him: "The first emperor used to be kind to the Su family, and later left the Jin Kingdom because of the civil strife Su Dai's brothers. If the Jin State wants to take revenge on the Wei State, it must be helped by the Su brothers. As a result, the Jin Emperor adopted Su Dai's suggestion and no longer helped Wei to attack Sheng.

Yang Mu sat on the main seat, wiped his hands, looked at the table for a moment, and found that what he was eating today was hot pot, all kinds of meat and vegetables, plus some spicy red soup base, which made people very appetizing when they looked at it.

Eating hot pot on a snowy day is indeed very delicious.

This hot pot, of course, is also his masterpiece, for these vegetables, he also specially started to prepare many years early, built an ice cellar, specially used to store vegetables, plus some vegetables from the winter, made up these side dishes.

Yang Mu directly picked up the chopsticks and ate them, anyway, he was the biggest in this harem, and there was nothing to pay attention to, so he picked up a few pieces of mutton and started eating.

The six disciples of the Holy Maiden Peak had never seen this way of eating, seeing that Yang Mu was eating with relish, he didn't know how to put down the chopsticks, and he was wondering if he should also put the chopsticks in and pick up a piece to taste it?

However, this is the place where His Majesty the Emperor puts chopsticks, and it would be disrespectful if he also put chopsticks himself!

The queen had eaten it a few times, and she was used to it, so she took the lead in picking up a few pieces of vegetables and threw them inside, signaling them to move their chopsticks as well.

"Concubine Xi has arrived—"

Outside the door, a sound came, and it turned out that Miaoxi had arrived.

Yang Mu raised his head and looked out through the papier-mâché window, twenty palace maids, twenty eunuchs, retinue sedan chairmen, etc., all of them were furnished and decorated, and there was a big battle, which could be described as the etiquette standard for regular concubines.

What's the wind blowing today?

Yang Mu is a little weird, Miao Xi can be said to be an alternative in the harem, since she was trained, she is not as unruly as before

"Concubines see Your Majesty, see Queen." As soon as Miao Xi entered the door, she knelt down and bowed.

After that, King Yan Zhao recalled Su Dai back to the Jin Kingdom and treated Su Dai favorably. King Yan Zhao discussed with his Su Dai about a plan to conquer Wei, and Su Dai helped King Yan Zhao formulate a strategy against Wei. Some time later, the Jin state united with the princes to attack the Wei state, and won a complete victory, inflicting heavy losses on the Wei state.
