Chapter 40: The Queen's Throne

Li Pingyuan, who does not enter the oil and salt, shows the city government that a politician should have, and the Empress Dowager Jiang is the same, what Li Pingyuan said is good, you told him to surrender now, will he surrender?

Chengguo can send troops, which is to suppress the development of Zhuang Xun, what to say now to surrender to his son-in-law, what treatment to surrender in the past, not to mention the appearance of the emperor's vein, which shows this person's ambition and ambition.

If it is really a disparity in strength or defeated, it is possible to surrender and save his life, but now he has to give up Li Pingyuan and give up the possibility of ascending to the immortal.

No, don't even think about it.

Knowing this, Empress Dowager Jiang also has no fear, and it is okay to make concessions and give benefits, but it is not okay for the lion to open his mouth, and it is necessary to compare any baht in major national affairs.

It is considered another village, and the Zhao side was originally worried that Xia Cheng would unite the two countries and invade the Zhao State together, not to mention the tricky one, but also involve some energy, and now the two sides are naturally infinitely beneficial to the Zhao State.

It's best to keep consuming, and both sides will be consumed in Jizhou without going out, and they will not have the ability to compete for the world, and the energy of the two will be consumed, and finally Zhao Guo can clean up without wasting any energy.

The enemy's enemies and friends, things are prioritized, and the most urgent thing now is to deal with Zhuang Xun, suppress Zhuang Xun, and prevent him from having a chance to unify Jizhou.

Because Zhuang Xun is much trickier than Li Pingyuan, Li Pingyuan may be able to fight, but no one is optimistic, and basically no gods have found any support.

Zhuang Xun is different, Zhuang Xun has the help of the gods, and the currently known ones are Bi Yuewu and the Reincarnation King, I don't know how many more, I don't know if there is a god who is equivalent to the Xuannu.

For example, the gods who caused the earth dragon to turn over, it's hard to say now, except for the Hou Tu Niang who basically doesn't interfere in the world, I really can't think of anyone, the collapse of the stacked passes, the loss of merit, the sea is gone, this is directly changed the situation of the war, and a lot of people died.

To say that there is no support from the gods, and the Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't believe it, how can there be such a coincidence, natural disasters just happened to help Zhuang Xun, or when he ascended the throne, did he really put himself into the heavens?

To be able to win the help of so many gods, then the threat of Zhuang Xun can be imagined, on the contrary, Li Pingyuan's cognition of the emperor's vein is half confused, and he is the only one who is hot-headed.

The gods bet on merit, so many gods bet on Zhuang Xun, naturally they want to reciprocate, and if they don't bet on Li Pingyuan, they will naturally not bring benefits to Li Pingyuan.

Since Zhuang Xun can bring benefits to the gods, there will be more and more gods joining him, and it will become more and more troublesome.

Because the gods' partial gang will make the Xia Kingdom stronger and stronger, the powerful Xia Kingdom will absorb more gods, and then become stronger and stronger, forming a positive cycle.

Since he can see who is more threatening, it is okay to give Li Pingyuan some benefits to let him fight with Zhuang Xun, which is in line with the overall interests and strategic planning of Zhao State.

Although Li Pingyuan also needs to involve Zhuang Xun, prevent Zhuang Xun from developing, and annex Li Pingyuan and him, it can be regarded as having a common goal, but the common goal of this kind of thing is very fragile, and some interests are needed to be stable.

However, the transfer of interests must not be as lenient as the treatment of Zhuang Xun, stealing chickens does not make rice, not only losing the land, but also raising a hungry wolf.

This kind of thing happened once It was already a great blow to Zhao Guo, so that Zhuang Xun grew up, no matter how invincible Zhao Guo was, he couldn't consume it like this.

The result of such an empty consumption of national strength is to weaken oneself, and the infinite expansion of the consumed national strength will only eat back on the country in the end, and Empress Dowager Jiang understands these truths.

So he didn't take Li Pingyuan's words, and the two sides fell into a short silence, and at the same time, because Zhao Guo could give in to his interests, he also hoped that Li Pingyuan and Zhuang Xun would fight.

So after the two sides were silent for a while, it was Empress Dowager Jiang who spoke first: "What help does the Taishi want from the Zhao State?" ”

"Two points, the first is to stop supporting the Chengguo clan led by King Qinghe, and the second is to provide a certain response, and when he is at war, he will force Zhuang Xun to make a move, making it difficult for him to deal with it."

Li Pingyuan currently has two goals, one is to suppress Zhuang Xun, and the other is to usurp the throne of Chengguo.

Originally, if Zhuang Xun didn't come back and Xia didn't come to attack Yu, then Li Pingyuan should now be the clan of Chengguo to start a war and compete for the royal power of Chengguo.

But he couldn't watch Zhuang Xun swallow Yu Guo, so what if he seized the royal power of Chengguo, it was nothing more than surrendering to Zhuang Xun.

He is a general not a god general, the opponent is twice as strong as his own, and after the tempering of the new law, he attacks steadily and steadily, with the quality of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Xia State are stronger than the Cheng State, because the Cheng State has the habit of talking, and the people's martial virtue is not prosperous.

He was struggling with whether to continue, Zhuang Xun came to Chengguo by himself, which made Li Pingyuan, who didn't know what to do, make up his mind to copy what happened to Zhuang Xun in Zhao State, and planned to blackmail Zhuang Xun to kill Xia Guo.

Reprinted, even escaped reproduction, Zhuang Xun escaped, at this time Liang Zi was knotted, and he could only go one way to the dark, it was impossible to pull down his face at this time to reconcile with Zhuang Xun, even if he was sincere, Zhuang Xun would not believe it.

In order to send troops to the Yu Kingdom, he ceded a lot of power to the King of Qinghe, and he had to find it back from other places, otherwise Chengguo would solve the King of Qinghe or the King of Qinghe would solve him.

King Qinghe is backed by Zhao State, and it can be seen from the fact that King Qinghe withdrew from the northwest of Youguo at that time, so he can't allow King Qinghe to continue to rely on, but he helped Zhao State suppress Zhuang Xun who caused them to lose their adulthood.

There must be a battle between the road to power and the king of Qinghe, and he has the confidence to have the means to deal with the king of Qinghe, but when he deals with the king of Qinghe, Zhuang Xun takes advantage of the chaos to attack him, and he is difficult to parry, and he must get the support of the rest of the Zhao country to contain Zhuang Xun.

It can be said that he has been waiting for Zhao Guo's attention for a long time, after all, Zhao Guo and himself have common interests in this matter, and he is the best partner of Zhao Guo now.

Seek skin with the tiger to see who is the tiger, Zhuang Xun did it, and sought the seven ways given by Zhao Guo, Li Pingyuan also wants to do it, there is no forever friend, the price is right, and it is not impossible to be friends with Zhao Guo.

Besides, his request is not excessive, not to mention very conservative, the first thing, give up supporting the Chengguo clan, supporting him This is the basis of cooperation, and the second Zhao State cannot sit back and watch Zhuang Xun sweep away Chengguo, unify Jizhou, and help cover Li Pingyuan.

Empress Dowager Jiang hesitated, because Li Pingyuan's two requirements were quite reasonable, and there was no lion opening his mouth, so she was moved, and there was no room for price reduction.

She can't let Qinghe Wang Liping make a big fight, and finally let Zhuang Xun pick up the leaks, the second condition is necessary.

And the first condition, Zhao Guo and King Qinghe have a hidden alliance, she wants to give up or not, and instead supports Li Pingyuan to integrate the power of the country as soon as possible to counter the Xia State who is like a patient who has recovered.

As time passes, the recovered Xia Guo will become more and more powerful, and supporting King Qinghe may not be able to beat Li Pingyuan, and it is easy to lose both sides and lose Zhuang Xun, so it seems to be a good choice to support Li Pingyuan instead, but she is also afraid that Zhuang Xun will reappear.

They were liars on the first day of junior high school, Zhuang Xun was a thief on fifteen, and the seven lands were handed over to Zhuang Xun at almost no price, and it was nothing to support Li Pingyuan, but if it was also a trick on Zhao Guo, then Zhao Guo would not have so much face to lose.

also said that Zhuang Xun was capricious, and Zhao Guo's appearance of betraying the covenant was not even more capricious? Thinking about the allies and objects of Zhao State, it seems that the results are not very good, only Zhuang Xun, who runs fast, takes advantage.

Of course, everyone knows that the effect of the covenant is like this, it is not as good as toilet paper, after all, the national interest, who cares what covenant you have and whether it is a covenant or not, you can only keep it if you have a covenant of interests, and don't think about it without a covenant of interests.

Now that Zhao and Li Pingyuan's interests are aligned, their covenant looks useful, and only God knows how long it will work.

"These two conditions can be agreed, and the information of King Qinghe can be immediately given to the Taishi to help the Taishi obtain the kingdom, but how to ensure that the Taishi will turn against Zhuang Xun? After all, he is the son-in-law of the Taishi. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang asked rhetorically, the reason why Zhuang Xun was able to be brought out of the rescue team that saved King Cheng before was because the intelligence of King Qinghe and the intelligence of Zhao Guo were shared, and the action to save King Cheng also had part of Zhao Guo's participation.

Therefore, Zhao Guo has a lot of news about King Qinghe and King Cheng, and now it is a bargaining chip to help Li Pingyuan better usurp Chengguo, provided that the relationship between Li Pingyuan and Zhuang Xun is broken.

Zhuang Xun deceived all Zhao Guo alone, it was because he was not there, if Li Pingyuan deceived himself, and finally Weng played a play, Zhao Guo would really lose face.

"Mrs. Jiang, you all know that I have placed Zhuang under house arrest and asked him, what do you think we can do with it? What other tricks can be played. ”

Li Pingyuan said well that the current relationship between Zhuang Xun and him is only limited to leaving each other's lives and ensuring their wealth, which can be regarded as the last dignity of Weng's son-in-law.

The surplus part is only antagonism and hostility, and I hope that the other side will collapse immediately, so that I can receive the other party's power and territory.

Zhuang Xun was able to write this letter, not because he couldn't swallow such a big Yu country, and he was afraid that he would be picked up, so he chose the most stable path.

The kindness of aiding Jiannan at the beginning has disappeared with this house arrest, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are enemies now.

"I can't say, maybe you are working with the Mengren, Zhuang Xun's deception is unparalleled in the world, and the Taishi must make some moves."

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, Zhuang Xun has become a hypocrite with super high acting skills in the heart of the Empress Dowager Jiang, and now no matter what Zhuang Xun says, the Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't believe it.

It's just that Zhuang Xun has never proclaimed that he is a gentleman, all praise is superficial, and he has always felt that this is the right way to behave, so he did it.

It's like this to do good things by saving people, and it's also like doing bad things, and he doesn't care if it's a good thing to be judged by outsiders.

He felt that saving people was worthy of his conscience and did it, and he felt that he humiliated Lu Bumingshuang and did it, he was incapable of doing the bad things he thought was right before, so he was just a good person in the eyes of others.

But he has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, and he feels that his moral level is not very high, and he always remembers to repay his grievances if he has a grudge, and he is not the kind of person who repays his grievances with virtue.

Just looking at the appearance, Mrs. Jiang thinks it is not strange that she has only barely touched part of the core now.

"Make some moves? What kind of action does Mrs. Jiang think can show my break with Zhuang Xun? ”

This is not enough, what else to do, Li Pingyuan can't think of it, after all, forcing Zhuang Xun to retreat is the biggest action.

"Zhuang Xun can dominate the Xia Kingdom, relying on three forces to maintain his rule, the first is his virtuous wife, who controls all affairs in the country, military and political affairs, so Zhuang Xun left the Xia Kingdom to travel in the mountains and rivers, and there is no chaos in the court."

After saying that, Empress Dowager Jiang was a little envious, probably thinking that King Zhao carelessly let Zhuang Xun go, and she was not worried, on the contrary, Siqin Mi could control the overall situation and let Zhuang Xun run around with peace of mind.

Even if Zhuang Xun went to Zhao State, turned into a country, and returned to Jiannan, the whole city seemed to be in order, the implementation of the new law, and the promotion of officials were more smooth, after all, there was no step for Zhuang Xun to see.

"The second and third is the friends accumulated by Ling Nu and Zhuang Xun, who control the military power, especially Princess Li, who has the power to carry the Ding, crisscrossing the territory, and is famous all over the world, suppressing a large number of family rebellions, and integrating the elite of the army, so that Zhuang Xun does not have to worry about internal rebellion and external attack."

Empress Dowager Jiang also felt envious, because immortals could not use spells, the innate class of mortals was considered the strongest combat power in the Ming Face, that is, the so-called invincible bravery, there were few in the Zhao Kingdom, and there were two of Zhuang Xun's subordinates.

He Heng is really a pity here, when she went to Chengguo, someone told her that He Heng was born and broke through when he was besieged by robbers who escorted Shoushan Yu.

However, at that time, I thought that as long as Zhuang Xun was encircled, He Heng would return to Zhao Guo with Zhuang Xun sooner or later, and specially reminded Si Qinmi, don't ignore it, now that I think about it, I will miss a talent.

Not to mention Li Ruxi, she really suspected that there was a fierce beast under the skin of a human being, how could a mortal be so strong and be able to support the release of true qi for so long.

"Is it to make the little girl rebel? It's absolutely impossible, the little girl has her own thoughts, and besides, the married daughter, the water spilled, how can there be any reason to take it back. ”

Li Pingyuan is an old fox, and when he heard Empress Dowager Jiang's analysis, he immediately made a patch, which was equivalent to refusal.

Besides, he competes for dominance in the world, he doesn't want to harm his own daughter, or the daughter entrusted by his friend, and puts his son-in-law under house arrest, he has successfully seized the world, and he can make Li Ruxi's family worry about food and clothing, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with being hostile to his son-in-law, and his son-in-law doesn't think his senses are important.

But let his daughter betray Zhuang Xun and defect, tear up her daughter's feelings like that, and let her daughter be separated from her beloved, so there is no way to heal the torn feelings, and the unification of the world will not be able to make up for it, and even if he persuades him to vote, Li Ruxi will listen to it, and Li Ruxi will most likely not listen.

"It doesn't mean that, Princess Li can see that she likes Zhuang Xun, there is no need to be such a wicked person, the Taishi can be a good father."

"For example, Zhuang Xun ascended the throne and became the emperor, does the queen of the harem have to be Wei Lanzhi?"

A smile finally appeared on Mrs. Jiang's cold face.

The medical insurance is used normally, I will go to see my eyes tomorrow, I may ask for leave, and I can update it as much as possible
