Facts have proved that the most urgent thing is not Yan Zhao or Lu Guo who came for profit, but Ji Zhou, who is facing "survival and decline".

The young Ji Zhou Tianzi had not completely abandoned the dignity of the Ji surname like his royal father, and put on an extremely flattering posture to curry favor with the Qin State in exchange for a place to stay.

However, for the sake of Ji Zhou Sheji's survival, the young Ji Zhou Tianzi still decided to move the capital north proposed by Shiqing Cai Ze and seconded by Situ Zhao Lei.

Tomorrow is the matter of the Luoshui Alliance, but the Qin State has not informed Ji Zhou, who is the friendship of the landlord, for a long time.

If the Qin State does not come, the Ji Zhou Dynasty is more urgent than the Qin State monarchs and ministers, and they are afraid that if the Qin people don't make a sound, they will annex Ji Zhou Wangji, and they will not have time to make any reaction.

After all, the gap in national strength between the two is still too big!

After Lin Yuyan sent someone to send back the Lu State Mission, it was already almost twilight.

Lin Yuyan was also interested in resigning the matter of the rest of the princes' discussions on the Luoshui Society tomorrow and then making a final conclusion, but he was told that Ji Zhou Situ Zhao Lei was waiting outside the mansion, no matter what he said, this Ji Zhou Situ would never leave, and he was bound to meet Qin Gongzi Yingyan.

It is also to understand Ji Zhou's uneasy mind now, this time, in order to prevent Ji Zhou Wangji from taking the lead in the Luoshui Alliance, Lin Yuyan did not take the initiative to invite Ji Zhou Tianzi to join the Alliance.

Zhang Lu, who knew Lin Yuyan's intentions, also suggested that Cai Ze, an old friend who wanted to defect to the East Palace of Qin, advise the Ji Zhou royal family to move the capital north.

The affairs of the Luoshui Alliance have been organized by many sons of the Qin State in Luoyi, but the Ji Zhou Dynasty, as the lord of Wangji, has not received any notice.

Even if Ji Zhou had already expressed his willingness to move the capital north to the Qin State, but did not get an official reply from the Qin State, I am afraid that he would not be at ease for a moment!

After thinking about it, Lin Yuyan finally sent someone to introduce Ji Zhou, Situ Zhao Lei, and Cai Ze, who has now been worshiped by Ji Zhou Tianzi as Shangqing, into the hall.

The lights were already rising all around, and Lin Yuyan's face was also a little tired, but he still fought hard to deal with Ji Zhou's side.

Zhao Lei has been dealing with Qin for nearly ten years, and when the three Jin soldiers besieged Ji Zhou Wangji, Zhao Lei was the son of Ji Zhou Tiantian [Fu Qin to contain Han Zhao Wei], and made an exception to make Qin State [Duke's Country].

But what Zhao Lei didn't expect was that the speed at which the tiger of the Qin State rose seemed to be too fast, almost visible to the naked eye, that is, it had grown from a small country in Lingnan, which was conservative and panicked, to a giant in Henan today.

And the Qin State actually beat the male tigers who used to dominate the world such as the Qi State and the Wei State to the ground, gasping and licking their wounds!

"If this is the case with such a flourish...... How nice it would be to appear in Ji Zhou! ”

Every time he slept until the middle of the night, Zhao Ti couldn't help but think like this.

Seeing Lin Yuyan, Zhao Lei also had to hide the negative emotions on his face deeply.

After bowing to Lin Yuyan, Zhao Leifang was neither humble nor arrogant, but with a hint of helplessness, he said: "I heard that the Qin State is going to hold an alliance in Wangji tomorrow, and the Son of Heaven sent a foreign minister to ask Qin Gongzi, do you need the Son of Heaven?" ”

A piece of rotten and smelly broken meat that was put in Ji Zhoutai's temple is naturally nothing rare.

But the name of this piece of meat is [胙], the meaning is completely different, in another sense, this is not the Ji Zhou royal family's deliberate currying favor with the Qin State.

Qin Guo's response was Zhang Lu, and his old friend Cai Ze had already confirmed his eyes.

learned the general attitude of the Ji Zhou royal family from Cai Ze, and immediately replied to Zhao Lei with a smile: "This is the alliance of the Qin State, why do you need the gift of the King of Zhou?" ”

Listening to Qin Guoyi's ministers and ministers all say this, Zhao Lei's heart was as complicated as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

But Zhao Lei is not a young man with strong blood after all, and Ji Zhoujiangshan, who has maintained the ups and downs for so many years, has worn away all the edges and corners of Zhao Lei's heart.

When Zhao Lei heard that the ministers of Qin no longer called "Zhou Tianzi", but called the [King of Zhou] who forced Zhou Tianzi to surrender his title to the king of Wei, Zhao Lei knew everything.

However, Zhao Lei still remembered the unreliable old friendship with the Qin State in his heart.

Immediately bypassing the unkind Zhang Lu, Zhao Lei looked directly at Lin Yuyan and said: "Gongzi Yan, the Qin State wants to meet in Luoyi, this is the land of Wangji, even if you don't act according to Ji Zhou's old etiquette, it is reasonable, Qin Guo should inform the Ji Zhou royal family that it is ......."

Listening to Zhao Lei's almost complaining words, Lin Yuyan also raised his head and replied: "Zhao Situ is wrong, my Great Qin is not the Luoyi Alliance...... It's the Luoshui Alliance. ”

Zhao Lei frowned, really puzzled what the difference was......

Zhang Lu on the side also explained: "The land of the Qin alliance is held in the area of the Guishi clan in the southeast of Luoyi, although this place is close to Luoshui, but it is an out-and-out Chenggao land, which is in the territory of Great Qin, not Ji Zhou Wangji. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Lei did hear that the Qin State had built some buildings along the Luoshui area of the Wu Clan.

But this world now knows that the Qin State is good at building cities and gates, and Zhao Lei didn't think much about it at that time, who could have expected that the Qin State would actually meet here!

Zhao Lei was originally lacking in confidence, but this time he was even more unconfident after some "burial" by the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State.

However, Cai Ze, who had been silent behind him, avoided the impasse in the negotiations between them, and also took the initiative to speak: "King Zhou is willing to meet the Luoshui Alliance of Qin State." ”

When Zhao Lei heard Cai Ze's words, he also turned his head and looked at Cai Ze with a complicated expression, but he didn't have the courage to scold him in the slightest.

Cai Ze said this, at this time, this place undoubtedly represents the "softness" of the Ji Zhou royal family towards the Qin State.

Zhao Lei let out a long sigh in his heart, and finally gave his hand to Lin Yuyan to approve the matter.

When Zhang Lu saw this scene, he also pretended to be relaxed and said: "The alliance between the Qin State and Luoshui was originally hoped that all the princes of the world would come to the alliance, and the King of Zhou was interested, and the Qin State was naturally very happy!" ”

Zhao Lei's expression seemed to be tired all of a sudden, and after bowing to Lin Yuyan and Zhang Lu, he retreated to the side weakly, and handed over the follow-up negotiations with Qin Guo to Cai Ze behind him.

Cai Ze stepped forward and said straightforwardly: "Some time ago, there were many dangers in Wangji, all of which were signs that Luoyi might be difficult to be Ji Zhou's Wang Ji again, a few days ago, Ji Zhou Xingguan watched the sky at night, and also found that the providence warned Ji Zhou to follow the example of King Ping at that time and move north to Wangji, Qin is Ji Zhou's southern neighbor, so Zhou Tianzi also sent foreign ministers to inform Qin State. ”

Such a big thing is no longer something that Zhang Lujie Donggong Keqing can manage from the open, and the reason why Ji Zhou wants to move Wang Ji is because Qin Zhou knows it.

Therefore, Zhang Lu also stepped back in response, and Lin Yuyan came forward to deal with this matter.

"Oh?" Lin Yuyan pretended not to know, and immediately asked, "Where does King Zhou want to move the capital?" ”

Cai Ze replied: "Hundreds of miles north of Luoyi, Gaodu! ”

"Where's Luoyi?" Lin Yuyan did not hide the importance that Qin attached to Luoyi.

"Wangji is bounded by the Great River, divided into two, and the south of the Great River, including Luoyi and Nangong, is still under the rule of Ji Zhou."

The center of gravity of Ji Zhou Wangji is concentrated in Luoyi and Nangong south of the big river, and Heyang in the north is much more depressed.

When the Ji Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyi, there were nearly 100,000 households around Luoyi, which was enough to maintain the foundation of the Ji Zhou Dynasty's rule.

But within hundreds of years, because of the ups and downs of Lao Qin, Rong Di, who was originally blocked in Longxi, also coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains and broke into the Central Plains.

In particular, the Luoyi area, which is the heart of the Central Plains, is entrenched in Yiluo, Henan, Pingyin, Yiyang and more than 100 Rong tribes of the Lu family.

For a hundred years, these Rong tribes were like bloodsuckers adsorbed on the body of the Ji Zhou royal family, draining the blood of the Ji Zhou royal family alive.

There were once 100,000 households in Wangji to ten years ago, but only 30,000 households remained, and then Qi Wei successively merged Luoyi, and the people of Wangji fled south to Lingnan, and now there are only more than 5,000 households in Wangji.

With such a scale, it is no more than a second- or third-rate weak country in the Central Plains, if it weren't for the glory of the Son of Heaven who had the princes of the world before, I am afraid that he would have been gnawed by the ambitious overlord of the Central Plains to the point that there were no bones left.

There are no more than 10,000 soldiers, in fact, anyone can see clearly that the two countries of Qin and Wei, which are sandwiched between the north and south of Ji Zhou Wangji, will fight to the death for the overlord of the Central Plains tomorrow, and how can the Ji Zhou royal family on the cusp of the storm sleep peacefully!

Lin Yuyan is not a person who doesn't care about eating, and immediately said: "King Renhui of Zhou, when King Ping moved eastward, he gave Haojing to Lao Qin, and my old Qin people also blocked the Longxi Rong people from entering the Central Plains for a hundred years!" Now that he has been awarded Luoyi, he will also defend the southern border for the Central Plains, educate the Southern Barbarians, and do his best to worry about the safety of my Xia people! ”

"Since the king of Zhou intends to move to Gaodu, he must have thought it well, and my Qin State is no longer admonishing......" Lin Yuyan paused, and then responded to the "acquaintance" of the Zhou royal family, and said: "There is no merit, move Wangji, work hard and move the people, I don't know where the Zhou royal family can have the help of the Qin State, it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Zhou Tianzi also has three requests for the Qin State." Cai Ze glanced at Zhao Lei, and the latter didn't have any big reaction, and immediately replied with a firm gaze: "Borrow grain, borrow soldiers, and based on the necessary cattle and horse herds after Wang Ji moved to Gaodu, as well as the advanced agricultural tools and grains of the Qin State. ”

"This ......" Lin Yuyan didn't agree easily, if he reached a deal with Ji Zhou so easily, I am afraid that this sin and stigma that is disregarded by the world will fall on the heads of Qin Guo and himself.

After weighing it repeatedly, Lin Yuyan also glanced at the sky outside the hall, which was already full of stars, and immediately glanced at Zhang Lu and secretly signaled.

Zhang Lu comprehended, and immediately stood up, pretending to advise Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, the relocation of the capital of the King of Zhou is a major event after all, and the Gaodu is the hometown of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Good!" Lin Yuyan nodded, and immediately said: "This is the best, just do it!" ”

Seeing this, Cai Ze was expressionless, he couldn't see the slightest emotion, he didn't know if this person was angry or surprised, but after he finished speaking, he stood behind Zhao Lei and was silent.

No matter what you say about this matter at the moment, it can be regarded as a phased dust, Zhao Lei still took into account this as the last thin side of Ji Zhou Chenqing, and before Lin Yuyan issued an expulsion order, he proposed to leave.
