"The king of Yue held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Huiji Mountain, canonized the ministers, announced the restoration of the Yue country to the world, and submitted the credentials to various countries. This is a letter sent by the Yue Kingdom. Zhao Kuo put Yue's national letter on the table.

You don't need to read it, everyone also knows what is written in the national letter, which is nothing more than the origin of the Yue Kingdom, the glorious history of the Yue Kingdom, the Taoguang Yang Obscurity of the Yue Kingdom, the banditry behavior of the Chu State, and the legitimacy of the restoration of the Yue Kingdom, etc.

But legitimacy is not up to the Yue Kingdom, it was the Zhou Dynasty that had the final say, and now it is the Central Plains countries that have the final say.

The reason why the Yue State wants to announce to the world is to get the recognition of all countries in the world, after all, for the Yue State itself, it has always refused to admit that it was destroyed by the Chu State.

But if Vietnam wants to play with other countries, it must be recognized by other countries. It's like the three families are divided, they have to be canonized by the Zhou Dynasty, and if the Zhou Dynasty is not canonized, Han Zhaowei can only play by himself at home.

Later, when he became the king, the Zhou Dynasty was not qualified enough, so the king of Xuzhou and the king of the five kingdoms, you admit that I am the king, and I also recognize you as the king.

In this way, everyone is the king, and the force has risen a notch, and he is on an equal footing with King Zhou. In this way, the king of Huanzhou was swept to the corner.

"How many troops did the Yue country raise?" Lu Zhonglian immediately asked. He said on the front foot that Yue Guo would not return to the country immediately, and on the back foot, Yue Guo announced the return of the country, which was simply a slap in the face.

"There was no army, just the announcement of the resumption of the country." Zhao Kuo shook his head.

"The Vietnamese country has capable people to help!" Lu Zhonglian was convinced, he really didn't expect Yue Guo to do this before.

only announced the restoration of the country, but did not send troops to restore the homeland of the country. If the state of Chu chooses to turn a blind eye, its prestige will be greatly hit, and the morale of the state of Yue will be greatly increased.

If the Chu State chooses to destroy the Yue State, the land in Ouyue is full of mountains and forests, which is particularly difficult to fight, not to mention, if you lose, you will lose the army, and you will not get any benefits if you win.

"The most disgusting thing is that now the Yue State is still in the deep mountains and old forests, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and it can send troops to attack the Chu State at any time. Even if the state of Chu did not destroy the state of Yue, it had to deploy heavy troops to defend it in Jiangdong. Wei Wuji said with a smile, he had already imagined how beautiful the expressions of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were.

"In that case, I, Zhao Guocheng, do not recognize Yue Guo?" Zhao Kuo looked around and asked.

"Admit it." Wei Wuji said without hesitation.

"First, our Zhao country has good relations with Vietnam, and it is not appropriate to damage the relations between the two countries at this time. Second, the state of Chu is strong, and weakening some of it is good for my Zhao state. ”

"The minister thinks that the legitimacy of the country should not be recognized." At this time, Lin Xiangru stood up and disagreed.

"It's true that my Zhao State is friendly with Yue State, but my Zhao State is also friendly with Chu State. Acknowledging the Yue State is tantamount to offending the Chu State. The state of Chu is strong, and the state of Yue is weak. Now I, Zhao, will inevitably offend a country, why should I offend a strong country, but befriend a weak country? ”

"Second, what Xinling Jun said is good, the Chu State is strong and should be weakened. But at this time, my Zhao State and Chu State are still allies, and they can secretly support Yue Guo and weaken Chu State, but they cannot really stand up to support Yue State. "Huh

"Third, although the Yue State secretly has dealings with the Qin State, the distance between the two countries is far away, the transportation is blocked, and the only one who can rely on it is my Zhao State. Even if I, Zhao Guo, do not recognize Yue Guo, Yue Guo has no choice. But the state of Chu is different, the state of Chu is strong, once it turns against my Zhao country and allies with the state of Qin, it will be difficult for my country of Zhao to resist. When everyone heard this, they nodded frequently.

Even if Chu is a threat to Zhao, as long as the two countries are still allies, no matter how Zhao cheats Chu behind his back, he must be on the side of Chu on the surface.

It's something of principle. On the other hand, Yue Guo is not an ally of Zhao State, and second, he is not the younger brother of Zhao State, and he has not even paid tribute.

The relationship between the two countries is only mutually beneficial, and the needs of the Vietnamese for the Zhao are far greater than the needs of the Zhao for the Vietnamese countries.

Zhao Guo could give up Yue Guo at any time, but Yue Guo did not dare to give up Zhao State. Huh

"The state of Chu has been bent on developing towards the Central Plains over the years, and its huge strength has caused great pressure on the states of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi, and the existence of the state of Yue can shift the attention of the state of Chu from the north to the south and reduce the pressure on the four states. Even if I Zhao Guo does not admit it, the three kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi will also recognize Yue Guo, so it is better to push the boat with the water. Wei Wuji said.

In fact, not only the Chu State worked hard to develop in the Central Plains, but other countries were also like this, Zhao, Qin, Wei, and Han moved their capitals to the Central Plains, and Yan also established their lower capitals in the south.

Who is called the richest in the Central Plains, one piece of land is worth dozens of other places. Normal people would not give up a piece of rich land to grab a wild land.

"It's not so much to put pressure on the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi, but rather to put pressure on the Wei state. I'm afraid that Xinlingjun's purpose is not for the Zhao State, but to share the pressure for the Wei State. Lin Xiangru said coldly.

The eyes that everyone looked at Wei Wuji suddenly changed a little. As we all know, Wei Wuji is a native of Wei, and he is the younger brother of King Wei, but he is the prime minister of Zhao State, and one person is above ten thousand people, and it is impossible to say that other people have no ideas.

Everyone is not a saint, as long as they are here to be officials, it is impossible to really ignore fame and fortune at all.

Those who don't value it have already run home to farm, who will mix with officialdom. If Wei Wuji is eliminated, the imperial court will be able to have an extra position, and everyone may be able to take a small step up, and Lin Xiangru, an old minister of the three dynasties, will also be able to take advantage of the situation to become the first person under King Zhao.

Thinking of this, everyone who was originally looking at Wei Wuji turned their heads to look at Lin Xiangru, hoping that Lin Xiangru would be able to take advantage of the situation to bring Wei Wuji down.

Without Wei Wuji, the 'Wei faction' in the Zhao court will have no support, and when the time comes, everyone will join forces to push the 'Wei faction' out of the court.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Lin Xiangru knew that everyone was wrong. They all thought that by killing Wei Wuji, they would be able to go further, but they didn't know that as long as the relationship between Zhao and Wei did not break down, Wei Wuji's position would be as stable as Mount Tai.

To put it bluntly, Wei Wuji's position as Xiangguo is not only because of his own ability, but also part of it is for the King of Wei, indicating that Zhao will not do anything to Wei, so that Wei can rest assured.

If Wei Wuji falls, it will be equivalent to giving Wei a signal: Lao Tzu is going to attack you. It is impossible for Zhao Guo to do this.

Lin Xiangru was indeed a little unhappy at first about Wei Wuji above him, after all, he had made outstanding contributions to Zhao Guo and worked hard, which was not comparable to Wei Wuji, an outsider.

However, Lin Xiangru is very recognized of Wei Wuji's ability, if he were to be himself, he would not be able to do better than Wei Wuji.

The reason why Lin Xiangru stood up against Wei Wuji was not to oppose it for the sake of opposition, but to really think that Zhao State should not offend Chu State because of Yue Guo.
