Linzi.

This giant city near the sea is close to Zishui and is easily accessible by water. Merchants come and go, extremely prosperous.

Linzi is the royal capital of Qi and a military town. In the past, Le Yi fought Qi and connected seventy-two cities. The wealth accumulated by Tian Qi for several generations was looted, and the country has declined greatly since then.

After decades of development, the former decaying state of Qi has returned to its former prosperity.

The palace is continuous, and the palace is vast.

It was late at night, but the king of Qi, who had passed the year of not being confused, could not sleep, put on his clothes, walked out of the palace, looked at Linzi at night, and thought deeply.

Outside the royal city, the houses are lined up one after another; On the waterfront in the distance, night fires flicker.

There is an indescribable tranquility in Linzi in the middle of the night, and its wealth can be seen in every bit.

Although the territory of Qi is not as vast as that of Qin, it is located in a plain and densely populated, and the population size of a county is far greater than that of ordinary counties in Qin.

"Your Majesty, the wind is cold at night, and I am afraid that it will hurt the king's body."

The chamberlain reminded him, but King Qi didn't bother to pay attention.

The state of Qi adopted the five-capital system, concentrating the military resources of the whole country in the five capitals. As for the other cities, these five capitals are the core. This is also the year that even if Le Yi captured the seventy-two cities of Qi State, and even captured Linzi, the capital of Qi State, Qi State was almost destroyed, and Tian Dan was still able to rely on the city of Jimo to turn the tables, and soon restored the territory of Qi State.

Because Jimo and Ju are the two of the five capitals, there are a lot of grain, grass, armaments, and elite troops in them.

As long as these two cities are not captured, Qi will not be considered a dead country.

It's just that, even so, the restored Qi State is no longer comparable to the former Qi State, and it is no longer the Qi State that once merged with the Qin State.

King Qi looked at the distant scenery and sighed slightly.

"Guoan Minle, why does the king sigh?"

King Qi looked at the original figure and smiled lightly.

"Is Sangkook here?"

Hou Sheng is the younger brother of the King of Qi and the minister of Qi, who came on the orders of the king, but he was not close, but he asked.

"The minister has seen the king!"

King Qi waved his hand, signaling that Hou Sheng did not need to be polite.

"The country of Qi is peaceful, the people are rich, Confucianism is prosperous, the armaments are sufficient, and there is no sign of decay, why did the king sigh just now?"

King Qi smiled, looked at the starry sky at night, and sighed a little.

"The country of Qi is still the country of Qi back then, but this world is no longer the world of the year."

"Can the king be worried about the state of the nations lately?"

King Qi shook his head and sighed slightly.

"From the beginning of Meng Weijun to the end of Chun Shenjun, an era has finally passed. Lü Buwei was expelled, and Chun Shenjun was assassinated, but the national situation of Qin and Chu was different, one side was thriving, while the other side was sinking day by day. ”

King Qi understood very well what this meant.

Chu and Zhao were the most important forces to balance the Qin state. The rise and fall of the nation's power will affect the trend of the world.

Once the change of power exceeds the fulcrum of the balance, then the trend of the world will be overturned.

"Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lock it up."

For more than 20 years, the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Handan, and the Battle of the Five Kingdoms have changed the situation of the countries and maintained the balance of forces in various countries.

Once it changes, it is unexpected that the Qi country will no longer be able to close itself off as it has been in the past few decades.

Hou Sheng listened to King Qi's words and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, the territory of the Qin State borders my Qi State."

After speaking, Hou Sheng looked at King Qi, cautiously, and asked softly.

"What does the king think?"

"If Qin has the power to dominate the world and the heart to dominate the world, then my Qi country will not be spared; But if one of the two is missing, then our Qi country must take action to change the overturning situation, or we can continue to be content in a corner and wait for the opportunity. ”

At this time, the state of King Qi, Hou Sheng was somewhat familiar, that was what it looked like when making major decisions.

"What does the king want?"

"Whether there is the power to dominate the world or not, within ten years, you can see it. As for whether he has the heart to dominate the world, it depends on the current King of Qin. ”

"The king means to send a fine work?"

King Qi turned his head, and in the night, a pair of eyes were bright.

"I'm going to go to Xianyang in person to see what kind of person King Qin is today?"

King Qi's words made Hou Sheng startled, and cold sweat came out. He knelt on the cold stone slab, but the cold air coming from his knees was not as cold as his heart.

"The king shoulders the Great Qi Sheji, this goes to Xianyang, not to mention thousands of miles, once it is lost, the Sheji will be overturned."

For the six kingdoms of Shandong, the state of Qin has a depressing tradition. In the past, the matter of King Chu Huai was the black history of the Qin State, which was taboo by the Six Kingdoms.

"This matter is related to the safety of the Qi country, the survival of the Tian family, the widow must go and see the situation in Guanzhong at this time."

Hou Sheng knelt on the ground and persuaded him, but King Qi still had no intention of changing his mind.

"Uncle, you don't understand, this day is about to change. In the new era, what Qi should consider may not be the rise and fall, not the original ruins into fertile soil, but how to survive? ”

Hou Sheng was anxious at this time, his back was covered with sweat, and in a hurry, he said something that should not be said.

"But even so, what if the king really got that answer?"

King Qi's eyes looked at it, and Hou Sheng knew that he was speechless, and lowered his head.

"If Qin finally dominates the world, and the Qi State dies, it will still be secondary, and how will the Tian clan survive?"

King Qi's words were full of deep meaning. Then, the topic changed.

"I heard that Hanyangjun of the Qin State sent an envoy to the Yan State?"

"Yes, it's just in the Yan Kingdom, but he is nowhere to be seen."

"Interesting, let Tian Jiao find out, where is this Hanyangjun?"

"Obey the king!"

............

Wei Palace.

Wei Yu glanced at the Empress Dowager Le Ling and bowed.

"If Qin really destroys the six kingdoms and dominates the world. So what about the Wei State? ”

Empress Dowager Le Ling sat back down, her face solemn, and she said slowly.

"If the world surnamed Ji dies, will the next era be the world of the surname Ying?"

To a certain extent, this is something that the princes of the six kingdoms of Shandong want to know. In the next era, the old nobility is abandoned, and the new nobility will rise again.

For the princes of the world, the death of the country is still second, and the death of the temple is the most terrifying.

Will Great Qin be like the Great Zhou in the past, and divide the princes from all walks of life?

Wei Yi smiled, but did not speak. Empress Dowager Le Ling lowered her head, remembering what he had just said, and seemed to understand something.

"You just said that you would contact Zhao first, and then persuade Qin to attack Zhao. Then this matter will be handed over. This trip to the Qin State to help the mourning family see, what is the current state of the Qin State? ”

"No!"

Wei Yu saluted, but gave up his hand again.

"It's just that before I go to Qin, I want to go to the land of Yan Zhao first!"

"Why?"

"There's a guy there, and I'm somewhat interested."

"Mo is not Hanyang-kun?"

"The Queen Mother Mingjian."

"Go ahead!"

Empress Dowager Le Ling waved her hand and closed her eyes. And Wei Yu slowly withdrew from the temple.
