Chapter Ninety-One: Confrontation in the Court

"The widow is Zhou Zhao, and he is also the king's courtier, and it is within his duty to respect the king. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and there was no room for it, so in order to prevent King Qin's great cause from being leaderless, he was listed in his position. Then, the old man glanced at the digging tutu beside him, and said meaningfully, "If it is decided today, it is time to return to the king, Uncle Zheng, do you say?" ”

Looking at the expression of the Wei Hou, although it was full of the pride of the bad guys and good deeds, it lacked a momentum. You must know that in the past, the old fox's heart was deeply hidden, and others were very jealous because they couldn't guess his thoughts. Now he wrote his desire directly on his face, which made Dig Tu not in a hurry at all, and even laughed unkindly.

Wei Hou thought that Di Tu would immediately refute, but he saw that the other party was always smiling and silent. Now it was his turn to be furious in his heart, and even the old skin folds on his face were clouded.

Ji Yijiu saw that the two sides were fighting dumb riddles, so he had to round the field and say: "Wei Hou is really high-spirited!" ”

"I'm afraid the world is far from peaceful now." At this time, the Marquis of Jin stood up, "I'm afraid the royal family can't do without the Holy Zhou Zhao!" ”

"The new king has ascended the throne, isn't this too peaceful?" The old man wanted to directly attack the big boss, but he was entangled by the small boss of Jin Hou, and he was very unhappy.

"Taiping?" Marquis Jin sneered, "You are cowering in the pickaxe capital, can you pretend that the enemy does not exist?" The Rong people can run rampant and domineering in the entire Wangji, as if they were in a no-man's land, do you dare to deny this fact? ”

"The recovery of Hojing has dealt a fatal blow to the Rong people. The rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, won't the Son of Heaven solve it? Wei Hou went out and said to himself, "The widow is Zhou Zhao, and he knows that he is still in power with the king, so don't find a reason to hide your greed for Zhou Zhao's position." ”

Wei Hou said it lightly. The Son of Heaven recovered Wangji, but it was not something that could be solved by moving his mouth. First of all, where do the soldiers come from? The Sixth Division of Yin has been lost in the Dog Rong Rebellion, and the Eighth Division has been incorporated by you, and the Son of Heaven has moved east alone, without a single soldier in his hands. Second, where does the money come from? The land of Wangji has fallen, Luoyi is just a lonely city, the royal family's treasury has not been accounted for a long time, and the Feng'an and enthronement ceremonies have cost countless people, what do you let the Son of Heaven take to fight? ”

Wei Hou couldn't imagine that Jin Hou was so aggressive, and he was speechless for a while.

"Why don't you be high-spirited and bright, return the Eighth Division to the Son of Heaven, and set an example for the world?" The Marquis of Jin took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to slap the old fox.

Wei Hou is not a vegetarian either, and after reacting, he quickly changed the topic: "It is said that Zhou Zhao wants Zhu Ji to push him, and he was in a hurry to take on the power back then, and the widow had to take on this important responsibility." Now that everyone is here, we have to listen to the opinions of the audience. ”

"Yes, yes, I have to look at the opinions of the princes surnamed Ji." Ji Yijiu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly sought an alliance, "Especially the Lu State and the Yan State, as the Zhengshuo of Zhou and Zhaogong, they have more say in the 'Holy Zhou Zhao'. ”

So, everyone's eyes turned to where the fat man was, and of course there was an insignificant Yan Qinghou as a foil.

Ji Fuhuang smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "In the past, Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao Kuang supported the royal family, and their merits were like heaven. If someone inherits the mantle, it may not be impossible. ”

Ji Yijiu heard it, why didn't this taste right? His eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, Wei Hou noticed that something was wrong, and he could no longer pretend to close his eyes and recuperate, so he hurriedly cast a warning glance at the fat man. However, Ji Fuhuang still squinted his eyes, not even showing his eyeballs, and no one could see through his thoughts.

Di Tu smiled secretly, knowing that Lu Gong's ambiguous statement was just an introduction. Although the fat man of the chicken thief has sworn an oath, he still can't believe him, this is waiting for Zheng Bo to throw out the "three-point co-rule" first!

So, Di Tu finally stood up: "Since Zhou Zhao's descendants said 'not necessarily', let's return to the main topic that was diverted by Wei Hou." Jin Hou's analysis just now, everyone knows it. Therefore, it is a matter of clarity whether the world still needs the 'Holy Week call'. ”

Then, he cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "If the Marquis of Wei can't bear the heavy responsibility of the 'Holy Zhou Call', then let the widow bear it!" ”

The court was instantly full of people, and no one expected that the digging was so straightforward. All of a sudden, there were those who were abusive, there were supporters, and there were those who shook their heads, and the quarrel was a mess.

"Why are you qualified to be called by the week?" A sharp question broke through the chaotic noise and attracted everyone's attention at once.

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be the representative of the Yu clan on the left. After repeated turmoil, Yu Shifu and Yu Gonghan have lost power one after another, and now the vitality of the Yu family has been greatly damaged, and they actually sent a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"Qualifications are not blown out, let alone shouted by voices, but made by actions. From the time when the widow was the first to issue the call of King Qin, this qualification has been obtained. "Of course, widows don't rely on the credit of the past for a lifetime. As long as he becomes the 'Holy Week Call', the widow will dedicate the land to help the royal family, and the next will unite with the concubines to rule the world. Do you think such an act is qualified? ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Yu's answer, everyone fried the pot again. There is too much information to dig up.

As an old fox among foxes, Wei Hou suddenly saw that this was political bribery. His face was blue, and although he hadn't had a seizure yet, he was actually in turmoil in his heart. He has always been hungry for power, but he fell into the trap of his own thinking mode, and he couldn't imagine that Zheng Bo would be so willing to give up power, let alone why he did it.

Wei Hou looked at Lu Gong and saw the fat man smiling, and then he realized that there must have been a political deal behind it, indicating that Wei Wu's intelligence was derelict in his duties. He looked at the Son of Heaven again, trying to seek support from this ally under his nose. However, Ji Yijiu's gaze was actually a little evasive, and he was afraid that his position was a little shaken.

I thought about it, but I couldn't do anything. Seeing that he was becoming more and more isolated, the old man was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Zheng Boxiu wants to talk nonsense, I'm afraid that he wants to deceive Zhou Zhao's position and then break his promise!" ”

"The heart of the villain is good, and listen to the widow one by one."

Dutu did not show any timidity, and first dug up the corner of Ji Yijiu's wall.

The strategy he used came from the European allusion of "Pepin's dedication of land". When Rome collapsed, the pope, who had lost his patron, was like a candle in the wind. It happened that the Frankish court minister, Pepin the Short, had just usurped the throne and urgently needed to correct his name, so he donated a piece of land to the Pope, laying the prototype of today's Vatican. The Pope reciprocated by not only crowning him, but even helping his son Charlemagne become the first emperor of the Middle Ages, thus ushering in the dual era of pope and emperor.

Although Ji Yijiu is now a Son of Heaven, his situation is very similar to that of the Pope in the early years. Therefore, as long as he is willing to admit and crown the new Zhou Zhao, Dutu is naturally willing to pay his blood: "Although Zheng Guo has not moved eastward for a long time, he has also expanded his land for hundreds of miles, and he has expelled all Yangyu, Quangao, and Yiluo Zhirong. If you move to Luoyi today, it is already a great honor to be neighbors with Zheng. If the widow is called by Zhou, of course, he is obliged to sacrifice the land west of Xuanyuan and Tiger Prison to support the royal family. This is the so-called 'dedication of the land to help the royal family'. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Although these places were originally owned by Zhou Tianzi, in the troubled times, everyone occupied the mountains as kings, not to mention that a lot of land was recovered from the Rong people. Now that he has spit out the meat that has been eaten, it is indeed beyond the imagination of most princes. Even Ji Yijiu was not only moved, but even a little moved.

Digging to make persistent efforts, taking advantage of the situation to continue to buy people's hearts, this time naturally sacrificed the big move of "Frank three points": "In addition, everyone is a relative after King Wen." Therefore, the widow believes that even Zhou Zhao should rule the world with Zhu Ji. It is necessary to let big countries like the Marquis of Jin and the Duke of Lu become Zhou Zhao's assistants, each leading a party to educate, and jointly serve the royal family and the world. This is the so-called 'Ruling the World Together'. ”

As soon as this big pie was painted, except for a few who had a deep hatred, most of the princes began to "turn into fans" for Dutu. Coupled with the effect of the previous parade, the opinion in the court finally turned into the proponents prevailing.

"You must not be deceived by Ji Dutu's rhetoric!" Wei Hou finally lost his temper and shouted hoarsely, "Your Majesty, Duke Lu, Ji Dutu's words must not be believed!" ”

"Wei Hou is rude!" Fat Lu finally waited for the promise, and he was so happy that his mouth almost closed, "As far as few people know, Uncle Zheng is a gentleman who keeps his word. It is an honor for our descendants to have such a person inherit the mantle of Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao. Yanhou, you said yes, right? ”

"That's, that's." Yan Hou, as a supporting role, also played with all his heart.

As soon as these two families spoke, Xing, Cai, Yu, Guan, Cao, Liu and other noodle Ji surnamed Guo rushed up and echoed one after another.

Lu and Yan's defection made Wei Hou almost desperate. He turned to the throne and cast his last hope on the Son of Heaven.
