"Tell me about it!" Di Tu immediately interrupted Situ's endless nonsense.

"Whoa." The old man paused inexplicably for a moment before he began to speak again, "The first monarch is the son of King Li, the brother of King Xuan, and the uncle of King You. The two dynasties were officials and had extensive connections. When the ministers were young, they served left and right, and they also had a lot of contact with the central government and local princes. In the early years of King Xili, Uncle Rui was the secretary of the king, and he was highly respected......"

"Rui Guo?" After listening patiently for a long time, he finally caught the key word and fell into deep thought.

"Exactly. Hou Li Wang has no way and is far away from the virtuous ministers. Xian Rui Bo retired to leisure, and Mu De visited Yingmen, so he became the teacher of the children of the nobles of Beijing. The ancestor was enlightened at that time, and the old ministers followed him, and he was also exposed to rain and dew. At the right time, today's Rui Bo is also a student and has a deep friendship. After the death of Rui Bo, the Rui family retired to their homeland and did not see each other for a long time......"

"Where is Rui Guo?" I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't find any information about this small country.

Situ was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself how the king didn't even know this basic geographical knowledge, so he had to patiently explain: "Rui Kingdom is located at the intersection of Beiluoshui and Weishui, and it is not far from the intersection of Weishui and the river. ”

Digging Tu thought to himself, isn't this the place where the last big bend of the Yellow River in the shape of "several" is located? Although it belonged to the sphere of influence of the Marquis of Wang Jiwei, it was on the very edge of the eastern side. If the wind blows, it is very convenient to run down the Yellow River.

"The place is good, but can people listen to us?"

"With the affection of my classmates when I was young, I am willing to give it a try."

It suddenly dawned on him, no wonder the old man was so complicated just now, it turned out that he wanted to borrow the relationship between his old classmates in elementary school.

"Then how do we convince Wei and Zhou's people?"

"We don't have to come forward, the minister directly asks Rui Bo to come out."

"Oh? Does this work? ”

"First of all, Rui Bo once strongly persuaded King Li to stay away from villains, and accurately predicted the turmoil of the royal family, which can be described as a model for the people of the world at that time. This move is far-reaching, and to this day, from the Son of Heaven down to the princes, they still treat Rui Guo with courtesy. Especially the Wei Hou, who was not yet weak at that time, was young and vigorous, and admired Xian Rui Bo's act of risking death to admonish him, and once raised his arms and shouted to help the momentum. Therefore, Rui Guo came forward and was quite influential. ”

Dig Tu smiled secretly, it turned out that Old Man Wei was also an angry young man when he was young. He remembered the days when Jia Hanqing used to be a keyboard warrior in the basement, and felt that it was similar to Wei Hou's active political discussion.

Situ continued: "Second, it is a tradition that the ancestors of the Rui Kingdom have been officials in the court for hundreds of years. For the move of retreating to the place, Rui Bo has always been obsessed. Therefore, he often has the intention of making a comeback. Although he stayed at home, he maintained correspondence with his ministers and other old friends in the world, and never left the current politics. If you invite him to come out today, I will be very happy. ”

Digging suddenly unexpectedly, Lao Situ, who has never done business, gave a constructive opinion today, but he was inevitably a little drumming in his heart. He asked, "How sure are you?" ”

Situ is a good person, and he naturally hears the sound outside the strings. His sleek old problem relapsed: "The minister just thought about it for a while, and he didn't think about it repeatedly, how dare he be completely sure?" If you think it is feasible, the minister is willing to share your worries, and if you think it is inappropriate, the minister should reflect on himself......"

He also knew that he couldn't ask any letter from the old slippery head, but he privately felt that this method was okay. He thought about it for a moment and decided to make a little ploy to give it a boost.

As the saying goes, "ask for a price all over the sky, pay back the money on the spot", digging tu imitated this trick and said to Sijian Xianke: "You quickly send an envoy to reply to all parties and ask for the address of the meeting to be placed in the capital." ”

Xian Ke was taken aback: "This, on what grounds should this be spoken?" ”

"For no reason." "It's about making all parties feel unacceptable and raising the bottom line in their hearts." After waiting for a while, Rui Bo proposed a compromise plan, and everyone naturally felt that it was better than opening in the capital. ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers praised in unison.

This trick is indeed very clever, and Wei Neizai almost scared when he heard it. If he really chose to be in the capital, Wei Hou Tie would definitely let him follow in the footsteps of Wei Sima and directly pull it out to break his backbone. Therefore, this guy became careless about anything, just begging not to hold a meeting in the capital, and even ignored the legitimate reason for choosing Ho Kyung.

Situ is also powerful, and a handwritten letter can get Rui Bo. Rui Bo is also in the middle of the favor, actively promoting the alliance, and also taking the initiative to use his relationship with other princes to build momentum. For a while, the meeting in Ruicheng seemed to be expected.

Faced with such a situation, Wei Neizai, a waste man, actually breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly came out to support, for fear that Uncle Zheng would insist on choosing the capital!

When I look at it, I am naturally happy in my heart. He pretended to make a major concession and accepted the location "reluctantly".

At this point, after a winter of shuttle diplomacy, the matter of the alliance was finally finalized. Supervised by Ji Yijiu, Zheng Bo and Wei Hou did not bring soldiers and armor, and gathered in Ruicheng in the middle of spring to discuss the world's major affairs.

Although the matter of peace was decided, Di Tu did not sleep peacefully. He carefully studied the map, and always felt that Ruicheng had a lot to do. From the topography point of view, it is not only close to the intersection of Weishui and the Yellow River, but also not far from the confluence of Fenshui and the Yellow River. And the place where the Fenshui flows through is the Fenshui Valley that the Marquis of Jin has just eaten.

I was used to digging up conspiracies and tricks, and I always felt that it was insecure to wait for the meeting honestly, so I couldn't help but keep my hand. He secretly repaired a book, and ordered Xianke to send someone to the Jin Kingdom, asking the Marquis of Jin to take precautions.

At the same time, Wei Guo's ease of submission also made him suspicious. Two years ago, when fighting for the boss of King Qin, Wei Hou pretended to do nothing under the situation of Zheng Guo's superiority, but secretly transferred the Eighth Division to turn things around in one fell swoop. digging and eating a trench to grow a wisdom, I always feel that Wei Hou will secretly make a "big news".

On the last visit of the Wei envoy, Di Tu asked sideways: "Wei Hou has been in good health recently?" ”

"Although the king has a long life, his energy is not inferior to others."

"That's very good." He shook a shot, and then asked, "Can the old man still go to court every day?" ”

The guard envoy was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd: "Er, of course." ”

"Have you ever shown up for the Winter Solstice Fasting Festival?"

"Winter solstice? Doom ......" Faced with this barrage of questions, the guard envoy was a little confused, "Come forward, come forward, of course you have to come forward." ”

Di Tu smiled and said nothing, because Si Jian Xianke had already told him the information about Wei Hou's absence from the Winter Solstice Festival. Although the counterintelligence measures within the Wei Guo court were relatively in place, Xian Ke's spies deduced that Wei Guo had not been in court for more than a month by observing the frequency of the minister's entry into the palace.

What is Wei Hou doing? Is it a sickness or a secret suffocation? Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of grass ropes for ten years, so he naturally preferred to believe in the latter. But what kind of small actions will the old man secretly make?

He didn't think about it for this, and he pulled the strings every day to analyze the intelligence and engage in war games: "If you were Weihou, where would you start?" ”

"The minister is stupid, Wei Hou is so cunning and cunning, where can I guess his thoughts." Xian Ke said humbly, "However, there are only a few related people who can be counted on one hand, so it is better to eliminate them one by one." ”

"Yes." "Our interior has just been rectified, and Wei Hou's claws will not be able to reach in for a while. Uncle Rui, there should be no problem with Situ's relationship. I understand the Marquis of Jin, and I will not make eye contact with Marquis Wei. As for Ji Yijiu, the Son of Heaven, it won't do him any good to take refuge in Weihou? Is there anyone else who can get in the way? ”

"Don't forget, your lord, there is also a son of heaven."

He slapped his thigh, thinking about how to ignore Ji Yuchen.

The recent international situation has dealt a fatal blow to this backup emperor. He saw that he was so active in supporting Ji Yijiu, and he estimated that he had the heart to eat it alive. Such a person obviously has a lot of "common language" with the Wei Hou Society.

So, Xian Ke hurriedly called someone to transfer all the information on Ji Yuchen, who had been ignored. I don't know if I don't check this, but I found that the relevant bamboo slips have been piled up like a hill. The officials of the entire Sijian Mansion poured out of the nest and hurriedly started to dismantle and sort out.

After a busy day, Ji Yuchen's every move gradually became clear.

He and Yu Gonghan are indeed not political materials, and they have been kept in the dark and slept in the whole early stage. It was only when all parties had talked about it that they suddenly woke up. The widows and children of the Zhou Dynasty are the same as before, except for scolding and crying, they will do nothing. Yu Gonghan was anxious, but since he had never cultivated reliable allies, he had no choice but to go to Wei Hou in the end, naively hoping that the "Holy Zhou Zhao" who had been playing tricks on them would come out and administer justice.

However, to the surprise of Dutu, Wei Hou actually refused to meet, and did a great job. Yu Gonghan was also a famous nobleman, but he didn't even let him enter the capital, and he was sent away directly at the city gate.

With Wei Hou's current situation, even if he doesn't want to cooperate with Ji Yuchen, he can't be so insulting?

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Digging Tu couldn't help but blurt out.
