Chapter 36: Dazai's Loss of Power (Part II)
At the time when Yiguo Dazai and the military adviser were out of peace, something big happened to the capital of the Qi Kingdom.
After Zhao Kun was beaten by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Liu, and Qi, Xiping sent a marriage proposal messenger to the country of Qi, proposing to marry Princess Ziyan, the eighth daughter of the Son of Heaven, for the third prince.
This is the usual means of easing relations between countries, when this era, the situation is chaotic, the two sides fought the day before the blood flowed like a river, but in a blink of an eye can be called in-laws, but this marriage relationship has been very fragile, its role is only a temporary show of goodwill, the most pitiful is the daughter of the family, but in this era of the country, which king will care about his daughter,
The arrival of the envoy of Xiping made the Son of Heaven and the ministers very troubled, and it was indeed offended to send troops to attack Zhao Kun, but Xiping was strong after all, and now people took the initiative to show favor regardless of their previous suspicions, if they did not agree on their side, it would be a complete break, and they would resolutely fall to the side of Zhao and Liuguo, will there be good fruits to eat,
Liuguo was almost wiped out by Xiping not long ago, and Zhao Guo just took a breath, it is difficult to say whether he can rise on this, after all, there are still many uncertain factors on the side of Kangguo, Yi Guo, and Shunguo, once the wind and clouds suddenly change, Zhao Guo itself is difficult to protect, especially the baby horse of the country of Ren Yi**, how to toss this master next is too nerve-wracking, when Yi Guo was still a small country with only four or five cities, he turned his hand over for the clouds and jumped up and down for the rain, stirring up the world into a bloody storm, Now there are almost forty cities in Yi State, no less than 60,000 soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses are out-and-out elite soldiers, all crawling out of the pile of dead, their strength can not be underestimated by anyone, plus there are two subject countries of Xiangguo and Qi State that are rich in fine iron as backup, and what is even more terrifying is that I heard that they have recently formed an unbreakable alliance with the fierce Fanbang, hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves and the unpredictable strategy of the magical military division, once this master falls ......out with Zhao Guo, the consequences are unimaginable, and then Zhao Guo may be busy,
What makes people uneasy is Kang Guo, can Ju Ran and his gang become a climate, Mo Ju is not a fuel-efficient lamp, once Mo Ju regains military power, his first thing must be to attack Zhao State, encroach on its land, his own side has taken advantage of Mo Ju's loss of power has gone a little far, and then go down with Zhao State, Mo Ju is estimated that he will not spare Qi Guo, and none of the ministers would think of becoming a scapegoat for the Son of Heaven and dying under the butcher's knife of Mo Ju's punishment, so they are silent about the pro-Zhao Yuankang's proposals,
In this situation, the position of the country is still swaying, it is a clever plan to curry favor with many parties, this is the result of the final discussion of the ministers, and the Son of Heaven also agrees with this, fortunately, the country is not as light as a feather now, after this period of development strength has been greatly enhanced, even if it is married to Xiping, Zhao and Liuguo only dare not ask for guilt even if they are unhappy in their hearts,
After the decision is made, it is natural to treat the Xiping envoys well, the Son of Heaven and all of them are respectful to him, this name is called Da Pi envoys are inevitably a little fluttering, nearly a hundred years ago the court has no previous sacredness, the Son of Heaven has no dignity in the past, Da Pi himself has the mentality of a big country to envoy a small country, at this moment to see the Son of Heaven are respectful to him, arrogant and arrogant,
On the send-off banquet, the monarchs and ministers of the country of Qiguo congratulated one after another, and they drank unscrupulously until they were drunk, and there were several acts of disrespect, which caused the monarchs and ministers of the country to be secretly unhappy, and they were completely unconscious of being drunk, and finally they were dressed in front of the Son of Heaven, and pointed at the Son of Heaven to reprimand him for his ungrateful sneak attack on Zhao Kun and caused Xiping to lose his troops, and everyone was extremely embarrassed,
Although the Son of Heaven has lost the world, he is still the co-lord of the world after all, and even the monarchs of various countries have to make some superficial articles, and the basic etiquette still has to be exquisite, this Da Pi Tai is also presumptuous, if this matter is spread out where to put the face of the Son of Heaven, where to put the face of the courtiers of the country, even if he is drunk, the crime is unforgivable, but to really punish him for this crime is undoubtedly to destroy the marriage plan, a few generals have secretly gritted their teeth and gurgle, a few Wenchen hurriedly want to pull him down, Da Pi has already fainted, pushed everyone away and walked over to pat the Son of Heaven on the shoulder with his hand, but the Son of Heaven frowned and got up and retreated,
The five princes with a grumpy temperament on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and they were angry and drew their swords.
The king humiliated the ministers to death, although it was a bad plan to kill Da Pi, but the civil and military ministers were not good at blaming the five princes, but they tried their best to defend it, and the matter had come to this point The Son of Heaven had to accept his fate, and he buried Da Pi, sent the envoys to send the spirit back to the country, and at the same time explained the cause of his death to the king of Xiping, trying to save the situation.
However, the king of Xiping is even more arrogant to the country of Qi, he was already holding back a belly of fire because of the matter of the knife in the back of the country, and was persuaded by the ministers to carry out this marriage plan, and now the envoy was actually killed by the country, he was angry like thunder, and his self-righteous temperament came up again, and he recognized that it was the country of Qi that he was determined to join forces with Zhao and Liuguo to fight against Xiping, and he did not listen to the envoy's defense at all, and scolded endlessly.
Although this envoy of the country is an old and dignified, but he is a loyal person, and he can't stop accompanying good words at first, but listening to the words of King Xiping insulting the Son of Heaven, where can he still lose his courtiers, and put life and death in a-for-tat reprimand for not keeping the courtiers' courtesies.
King Xiping was angry, his face turned red and no one listened to it, and the warrior in front of the palace directly killed the envoy of the Son of Heaven with the staff of the court.
Things to this point completely deviated from the original wishes of the two countries, Zhao and Liuguo secretly rejoiced, and tried their best to provoke it, and soon the situation developed to the point of fighting each other, the king of Xiping sent 50,000 troops to surround the capital, and the Son of Heaven had no choice but to send envoys to ask for help from various countries.
Zhao Guo has his own plans, this section of the Qi State is expanding too fast, and if it continues like this, it will become a problem for the henchmen, just take this opportunity to let Xiping and Qi Guo consume a lot of strength, the capital is the strongest city in the world, and it is difficult to capture it for a while, so it is just a hypocrisy to deal with it, and it is said that the letter Fanbang wants to invade the Central Plains again, and only sent some old and weak soldiers to meet the situation, and pretended to test a few times before camping far away to defend themselves,
Staying in the country because of their own weakness, they really hope that Zhao, Liu, and Qian will sincerely help each other in order to survive, seeing that Zhao Guo does not contribute they are really anxious, the military division Qiao Hai took 15,000 troops to the rescue, but was stopped by the Xiping army to move forward, Xiping military division Weng Liang has seen the mind of Zhao Guo clearly, so most of the troops are used to deal with Qiao Hai, the army has suffered two defeats in a row, and has to retreat,
Weng Liang was reluctant to attack the capital in his heart, and it was against the sky to attack the Son of Heaven, as the commander of the army, he would be despised by the world, not to mention that the loss of attacking such a strong city as the capital must be huge, so at first he was just bluffing, and the war drums were beating loudly all day long, but in fact, he didn't really fight, and then he couldn't bear the urging of King Xiping three times and five times, so he had to gradually step up the offensive.
The Son of Heaven was extremely disappointed in Zhao Guo, and after scolding, he had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from Kang Guo, who had not moved.
