Chapter 239: The Location of the Prime Minister

King Qi married Zhong Wuyan as his wife and established him as the queen, which not only caused an uproar in the Qi country, but also caused a shock in the whole world!

After a kingdom, she is the wife of the princes, and within a kingdom, the power is second only to the princes. And its status is even directly equal to that of the princes!

Such a noble and prominent position, most of the time, is by marriage between one country and another, and directly held by the princess of another country! And such a princess must not only have deep power behind her, but also be white and beautiful, and be able to be favored by the princes.

Zhong Wuyan, the world's first ugly girl, from what point can she meet this requirement? In terms of background, she is an ordinary woman in the country of Qi; In terms of appearance, not to mention compared with Xia Yingchun, the concubine of King Qi, it is an existence that can't marry in the countryside at the age of forty! Of course, there are many princes in the world who have strange sexual orientations, such as the wonderful Wei Linggong who even looked down on Nanzi, the stunning princess of the Song Kingdom, in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But what prince liked a rough village woman with an ugly appearance, a tiger's back, and skin as black as coal, who could kill the enemy on the battlefield? At least openly admit that he is lustful and likes beautiful women, Qi Wangtian Pijiang, definitely does not have such a heavy taste!

Then the only possibility is obvious: King Qi has lofty ambitions, takes a fancy to Zhong Wuyan's talent, and is willing to bear the pressure of marrying an ugly wife!

This only explanation has made the whole world look at the current King of Qi with admiration! Originally, since the king of Qi ascended the throne, he has been immersed in a kind of hustle and bustle, and everyone in the world thinks that this king is just a second ancestor who likes to be lively and loves vanity, but now it seems that this king is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface!

Dai Yan in Taoqiu felt this especially strongly! When he was in Linzi, he had a relationship with Tian Pijiang, who was still the prince of Qi at that time. The feeling that Tian Pijiang gave him was indeed a person who liked to be lively and vanity, and he was no different from some of the rich second generations that Dai Yan saw in later generations!

Such a person relies on Zu Meng, and his talent is not high, in Dai Yan's opinion, as long as they give enough face, they should be very easy to fool! However, after getting the news that he was marrying Zhong Wuyan, Dai Yan couldn't help but think of the king's exploits in history: inheriting the hegemony of King Qi Wei and keeping the Qi Kingdom strong. Can he do this, is he really an ordinary king?

He also remembered several celebrities who took the initiative to marry ugly wives in later generations, Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying, Zhu Yuanzhang married Queen Bigfoot, the wives of these two celebrities, at least in the eyes of the people at the time, were definitely not beauties, but Zhuge Liang and Zhu Yuanzhang were able to leave a resounding name in history!

Thinking of this, Dai Yan no longer dared to underestimate this King of Qi who married an ugly wife! For Qi Guo, he also began to regain a trace of awe!

And those who have the same idea as Dai Yan are also Zhao Yong, who is in Zhao State. For Zhao Yong and even the entire Zhao State, Zhong Wuyan's blow to the Zhao Army hit Zhao Guo, which not only made the magnates of Zhao Guodongfu feel hot and painful, but also made the high-level of Zhao Guo worried!

Especially when Zhong Wuyan became the king of Qi, this worry was even deeper. Those magnates of the Zhao State who were originally thinking of competing with the Qi State near Jishui all extinguished this kind of thinking at this moment.

Once this kind of thinking was eliminated, the entire Zhao State began to give up the idea of competing for leadership in the alliance formed by the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, and Zhao Yong no longer competed for the position of the chief of the Five Kingdoms!

Without the obstruction of the Zhao State, the matter of the prime minister of the five kingdoms will be negotiated in a rough way, and now only Gongsun Yan and the princes of various countries need to negotiate, and everyone will discuss a specific location of the prime minister, and the meeting of the prime minister will be held perfectly, and the alliance will be concluded, then the prime minister of the five kingdoms will be officially completed!

The news of the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms reached Taoqiu, which made Dai Yan start to think about something else!

He wanted the alliance of the five kings to be held in Taoqiu!

Dai Yan from later generations knew very well that if a city wants to develop economically, it is far from enough to rely on agriculture and industry alone. We also need to continue to increase our influence! The increase of the city's influence will drive the development of other industries in the city, making the city more and more prosperous!

In later generations, Geneva, a small city located in Switzerland, a small landlocked country in Europe, had a population of only a few hundred thousand, but it was extremely well-known in the whole world. Isn't it because the city is home to many international organizations around the world that this small inland city has become an international city?

With such an influence, Geneva's tertiary industries, such as tourism and finance, have developed rapidly, and the development of this tertiary industry has eventually led to the development of the entire city!

As the owner of Taoqiu, Dai Yan's positioning of Taoqiu is an international city in the world! Today's Taoqiu is a purely commercial city, located between several large countries, if Taoqiu loses the goods of the surrounding countries, even if Taoqiu does not immediately become a dead city, the entire city will immediately weaken is inevitable!

Of course, in today's era, there is no real international organization in the whole world. If Taughu is to reach the status of Geneva in later generations, of course, it will have to adapt to the rules of this era. In Dai Yan's view, the best way is to make Taoqiu the seat of the alliance of various countries. Use this method to continuously enhance the influence of Taoqiu, so that Taoqiu will eventually become an international city!

If you really want to talk about it, Tao Qiu still has an advantage in this regard!

Historically, the Song Kingdom has always been the place where countries choose to meet and alliance! During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Kwaiqiu Alliance, which laid the hegemony of Qi Henggong, chose the location of the Alliance, Kwaiqiu, which was on the land of the Song Kingdom!

Later, when Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, the vast number of small and medium-sized countries located between Jin and Chu were all miserable because of the war for hegemony. Therefore, Hua Yuan, the ruler of the Song State, mediated between it, advocated an alliance between the soldiers, and convened the Jin and Chu states to hold an alliance meeting in Suiyang, the capital of the Song State, and suggested that the two countries divide the hegemony equally. In the end, a total of powerful doctors from fourteen countries participated in the alliance, and this time the alliance divided the hegemony of Jin and Chu equally, determined the order of the world, and brought nearly 50 years of peace to the world!

After the alliance of the soldiers, although the Song State was still a weak country, the world also saw the powerful influence of the Song State!

For Dai Yan, although this time the meeting of the five kings and the conclusion of the five countries may not have the same influence on the situation of the entire world as the alliance of the soldiers, but this kind of grand event that marks the complete collapse of Zhou Tianzi's status is definitely more influential than the alliance of the soldiers from the perspective of the entire history!

Today, Taoqiu is a neutral city recognized by the three surrounding powers, and no one will say anything when the alliance is held here. Moreover, Taoqiu is located in the center of commercial trade of various countries, and the transportation is developed, which can also make it more convenient for countries to arrive!

After Dai Yan had such a plan, he immediately launched the relationship with Taoqiu, sent people to various countries to lobby, and asked all countries to set the location of the meeting of the prime minister in Taoqiu!

Dai Yan sent people to various countries to lobby, and he didn't do it indiscriminately! The focus of lobbying is naturally Zhao State, followed by Wei State and Zhongshan State.

Zhao Guo was an ally of Tao Qiu, and when he heard that his brother-in-law wanted Tao Qiu to be the location of the meeting of the prime minister, Zhao Yong agreed without thinking about it! For him, this kind of thing is just a favor, and the location of the meeting of the kings can be placed anywhere!

And after Zhao Guo gave a positive reply, Dai Yan asked the businessman to bribe Sun Yan, the prince of Wei, with a lot of money. Gongsun Yan originally wanted to set the location of the meeting of the Xiangwang in Weiguo, but for the sake of the face of the Taoqiu merchants giving money, he persuaded the King of Wei to agree to Taoqiu as the location of the Xiangwang!

As for Zhongshan Kingdom, Dai Yan just asked people to re-contact Princess Zhongshan, who had given birth in Taoqiu Hospital, and let Princess Zhongshan blow the following pillow wind slightly, and described the wealth and prosperity of Taoqiu to King Zhongshan, and King Zhongshan agreed to set the location of King Xiang in Taoqiu!

Among the remaining two countries, the Yan State has always been a soy sauce existence, and their status in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period is actually not much better than that of the Qin State, which is despised by the people of the world! Moreover, they are not very familiar with the entire Central Plains, and they know that the Song Kingdom is often used as the location of the alliance, and this time the point is also in the Song Kingdom, so they agreed!

South Korea is the only one who opposes this! Between Korea and Taoqiu, because of the competition of iron tools, the relationship was originally very poor. When the news came that Tao Qiu had opened another iron-making plant in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, the Koreans hated Tao Qiu even more!

Any action that can increase the interests of Tao Qiu, South Korea is not happy! However, in this matter, South Korea cannot call the shots! Not to mention that South Korea is under increasing pressure today, it can only rely on the two major backers behind it, Wei and Zhao, with the consent of Wei and Zhao, how dare South Korea, which has been a "small victim" since its founding, really say no?

Therefore, the location of the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms was so easily set in Taoqiu!
