Du Tu was about to argue, but Wei Hou laughed: "Marquis Jin is serious." ”

In fact, when the digging was endless just now, Old Man Wei was already moved. Although he is politically sophisticated and ambitious, he is limited by the times, and he really only thinks of the trilogy of Qinwang's routine of "countering rebellion, welcoming the king, and being a secretary" just summarized. So when he heard the idea of setting up a separate central government and sitting on an equal footing with the Zhou royal family, he felt quite refreshed, and had to secretly look at the young Zheng Bo.

Since Wei Hou is now sitting in the position of the leader of the alliance, he naturally wants to obtain this status.

Wei Hou persuaded Jin Hou: "What Uncle Zheng said is very true. I miss the Kanto princesses, who have been alienated from the royal family for a long time. The dispute between the DPRK and China is chaotic, and we are like spectators. can't stop it, but to deal with the aftermath of the chaos, you really have to think of a long-term plan. ”

This sentence is to the pain point, the royal family ignores the Kwantung princes but is busy with their own civil strife, which has indeed made the Marquis of Jin dissatisfied. For a person with little ambition like him, if it weren't for morality, who would want to wipe his ass for the royal family's own troubles? Thinking of this, he didn't think that this idea was too much of a rebellion.

Jin Hou nodded silently, and Wei Hou and Zheng Bo immediately smiled. Although the two opponents actually have their own ghosts, they have reached a high degree of agreement at the moment.

Di Tu excitedly proposed: "This time the alliance leader is not an ordinary alliance leader, different from the secretary in the court, and also different from the uncle in the opposition, he should have a new name." ”

"It makes sense." Wei Hou excitedly twisted the sparse beard on his chin.

"I waited for the public election of the alliance leader this time, which is really to save the Zhou royal family from the turmoil and assist the Zhou royal family for thousands of generations. And those who can do this are the former Duke of Zhou, Zhao Gong Fu Cheng, and then the Duke of Zhou, Zhao Public and Administration. How about the name of the alliance leader to intercept the words Zhou and Zhao, plus the meaning of the reincarnation of the saint, and combine them into 'Holy Zhou Zhao'? ”

"Wonderful!" Wei Hou's little eyes were shining, and he gave out a heartfelt admiration, but he didn't know that this was a plagiarism of Qin Shi Huang's creativity. Qin Shi Huang intercepted three emperors and five emperors to name the emperor, he intercepted Zhou Gongzhao and named Zhou Zhao, in order to bring a bit of European flavor, but also deliberately added a "saint" word.

The Marquis of Jin, who had been beside him, couldn't help but interrupt the two monarchs who were dreaming of "Holy Zhou Zhao": "Our plan is like this, is it possible to get Zhou Tianzi's consent?" If he calls on the princes of the world to oppose it, the leader of this alliance will not be right, and his words will not be right. ”

"Isn't it right now, both sides are arguing to be the Son of Heaven." Dutu and Wei Hou looked at each other slyly and laughed, which made the second monk of Jin Marquis and Zhangji confused. After a long time, this upright boy reacted, whoever admits the "Holy Zhou Zhao" is Zhou Tianzi! He shook his head helplessly, sighing that the scheming of the old and young in front of him was really unfathomable.

In this way, in an eerie and pleasant atmosphere, the alliance meeting was successfully concluded. They drafted an official document and distributed it throughout Wanggi and Kanto, and sent a copy to the two emperors. The text requires Zhou Tianzi to canonize the leader of King Qin's alliance as "Holy Zhou Zhao", and hold the three major powers of the dispute between the Ding Dynasty, the rebellion of the princes, and the war against the barbarians.

In his view, if this system is successfully realized, it will be very close to the political system of the early Middle Ages in Europe. The succession of "Holy Zhou Zhao" was publicly promoted by the princes surnamed Ji, independent of the imperial court, and was enough to check and balance the Zhou royal family. But nominally, the Holy Zhou Zhao still needs the legal canonization of Zhou Tianzi, and he can't do whatever he wants. Zhou Tianzi and Holy Zhou Zhao are actually the relationship between the pope and the emperor in Europe. From the perspective of European practice, this dual political relationship is conducive to achieving a balance of power among the princes, and thus laying the foundation for the great cause of digging and preventing the unification of the nations. After taking this step, Di Tu can be said to be satisfied, and it can be regarded as a preliminary framework for the emperor-Zhou Zhao system. After King Qin, he waited for an opportunity to strengthen the royal family and build a political framework of the Pope-Son of Heaven line.

Next, just wait for the time to reverse the blood alliance, and he will be the first "Holy Week Call".

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xianzhu sent all the spies to the north to monitor their every move. Seeing that the day of the oath is getting closer and closer, there is no movement in the country. But the more there is no movement, the more suspicious it becomes. In addition to Xian Zhu's optimistic ridicule of Wei Hou every day, Nei Zai, Sima and other ministers all felt faintly uneasy.

He was immersed in the joy that his plan had succeeded, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But as time went by, he slowly calmed down. He recalled the various manifestations of Wei Hou's political sophistication, and he really did not look like a person waiting to be exposed. But Xianzhu's information should also be true, after all, there are so many eyeliners to look at.

He pondered to erase it, and couldn't help but lose confidence in his heart, and said to himself: "In addition to the domestic army, does Weihou have other soldiers and horses?" ”

This question is not tight, but it wakes up Lord Neizai on the side. He suddenly remembered something, and said in a lost voice: "Yes! ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Neizai hurriedly asked the chief of the hundred rooms to withdraw manpower from the northern Weiguo and send it to Chengzhou Luoyi in the west, which is now Luoyang. He explained: "Luoyi may have royal soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Di Tu also recalled the records of the military system of the Zhou Dynasty in ancient books. There were two capitals in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi was stationed in Zong Zhou Haojing, and Wang Liushi defended Wangji, and Cheng Zhou Luoyi was guarded by Cheng Eighth Division to deter the Kwantung princes.

"When Xianjun led the troops to quell the rebellion with King Zhou You, the incident happened suddenly, so Wang Liu's division was exhausted, and the Chengba Division, which was far away in the eastern part of the country, did not have time to move. After the destruction of the pickaxe capital, the Sima Mansion, which was in charge of the soldiers and horses, was killed, and the Eighth Division was actually in a state of leaderlessness. ”

"After so long, the Eighth Division is still there?" Master Sima asked.

"It is said that after the news came from the west, the two sides of the Son of Heaven competed to seize control of the Eighth Division, which led to civil strife in the Eighth Division, some of which were scattered to Wangji, and the rest were already collapsed." Nezai said helplessly, "Since we are focused on the interior of the Northern Border Guardian and ignore the intelligence of Luoyi, the specific situation is not clear. I'm just afraid ......"

"Afraid of what?" The digging protrusion was already pale.

"I'm afraid that Wei Hou will take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos to incorporate the Eighth Division. If the Eighth Division has been dispersed to the point where there is not much left, then there is no need to worry, if the main force of the Eighth Division is still there, then we will not be able to turn the tables. ”

Lord Sima questioned: "The Eighth Division is the army of the royal family, without the authorization of the Son of Heaven, how can the Marquis of Wei have the power to transfer?" Those generals had a high status in the court, and it was not so easy to obey the command of an ordinary prince. ”

"For the Sixth Division, Wei Hou is very ordinary, but for the Eighth Division, Wei Hou is not ordinary!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you forgotten the origin of the Eighth Division and the Patriotic Nation?" Nei Zai sighed, "Back then, the Duke of Zhou assisted Cheng Wang to quell the rebellion of the three eunuchs. After that, Uncle Xikang was enshrined in the old capital of the Shang Dynasty, and established the Yin Eighth Division to firmly guard the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. This Uncle Kang is the ancestor of Wei Hou, Chaoge is the capital of Wei Guo, and Yin Eighth Division is the predecessor of Cheng Eighth Division. ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands. It is precisely because of this historical relationship that Wei Guo and the Cheng Eighth Division have inextricable practices in terms of military system and personnel, and it would not be surprising if Wei Hou could incorporate them. Moreover, Luoyi is only two or three hundred miles away from the capital, and it is all a flat river, so it is easy to pull the Eighth Division over.

The enthusiasm of digging to be called by Zhou suddenly became cold again.

Just when Zheng Guojun and his ministers were nervous, the guards suddenly came to report that there was an abnormality in the Weiguo Barracks in the west of the city!
