Qingji walked out of the carriage with Yingxiang, stood on the wheel and looked ahead, only to see two armies tightly crowded on the road, some cars had already driven into the fields on both sides of the road, the wheels were stuck in the slush and could not move, and many soldiers were pushing and scolding each other.
Yingxiang put his hand on the canopy and watched with great interest, and asked, "Which way is the prince's men and horses ahead?"
The general replied: "I haven't inquired yet, but looking at the flags, it seems to be the state of Chu and the state of Lu." ” At this time, Ah Qiu walked over quickly, clasped his fists and said: "The king, Uncle Qin, the last general has just inquired and understood, and it is the honor guard of King Chu and Duke Lu who has a dispute ahead. ” Qingji was surprised: "Lu Chu and the two countries, why do they have trouble with each other?"
The armies of Qin and Wu were also escorting the front and back, so Qingji and Yingxiang were still some distance away from the two sides crowded together in front of them, and they couldn't directly understand what was happening.
Ah Qiu Fang had already stepped forward to inquire and understand, and hurriedly said: "Back to the king, the honor guards of the kings of Chu and Lu rushed to this intersection together, because the road is congested, only the princes of the road are allowed to pass, and one of the princes must be polite to the road.
The Lu people said that the monarch of the state of Lu was a first-class duke with a noble status, while the monarch of the state of Chu was only a viscount and should be avoided on the side of the road.
But the Chu people say that Chu is a powerful country in the world, with Qianzhong and Wujun in the west, Xiazhou and Haiyang in the east, and Dongting and Cangwu in the south.
In the north, there are the fortress of Fencheng and Xunyang, the territory is vast, and it is the crown of the princes.
When King Cheng was on the throne, he had already abolished the viscount and called the prince, and Zhou Tianzi was helpless, and he had to give him flesh, and wanted Chu to fight in the south of Yiyue, without invading China, and recognized the hegemony of Chu, so the title of King of Chu was higher than that of Duke Lu, and he asked Duke Lu to give way to the side.
The people of Duke Lu said that the Chu people usurped the title of king, and only recognized the viscount of Zhou Tianzi, and did not recognize the self-proclaimed prince of the Chu people.
The two sides refused to give in to each other, and they quarreled and blocked the road. ” Among the many states in the world of Zongzhou, the state of Lu is the clan gang surnamed Ji, and the princes look at the country.
The monarch of the state of Lu is a first-class duke, and the monarch of the state of Chu is only a viscount, so it stands to reason that the state of Chu should indeed give way.
If Zhou Tianzi could still control the princes of the world, the state of Chu would never dare to be so presumptuous, at that time, the monarch of the state of Chu participated in the princes' conference, and he was not even qualified to enter the hall, so he could only mix with the servants, help bundle firewood, and take care of the stove.
If he dared to transgress the etiquette system, he would have been taken back by Zhou Tianzi, abolished his title, and collected his territory.
However, who dares to treat the state of Chu like this now The state of Lu may not have had the courage to have a grudge with the state of Chu, but the king of Chu was young and his prestige was not high.
And because of the Wu State and the two internal ministers successively, the national strength has been greatly reduced, and now the princes are in the Huangchi Alliance, and the public name is the edict of the Emperor of Zhou.
And Lu is the country that is the most dedicated to Zhou, up to the Duke of Lu, down to the secretary, whether it is a major event of the country, or a small section of exchanges, never forget the law of the Duke of Zhou, the ancestors of the king's teachings.
If he made way for the viscount of Chu this time, it would be a matter of losing the face of Lu and an extremely serious faux pas, so even if Lu Gongji Song was hard-headed, he would have to fight with Chu State.
It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Chu State suffered a big loss at the hands of the Wu State, it is still not a country that the princes of the world can despise, can Lu Gongji and Song please it Although Qin and Wu were not necessarily very close to Chu, they were both allies in the south after all, and they had always been rejected by the princes of the Central Plains.
Ji Xiangpi said with a smile: "Duke Lu is a first-class duke, and I, Qin Guo, am the earl, it seems that I am not qualified to come forward to dissuade it, the first sunny day after the snow, the scenery is just right, why don't you and I build a fire here, while enjoying the snow scene, while playing chess and drinking, how about they divide the upper and lower dignity."
Qingji laughed and said: "My ancestor Tai Bo of Wu was posthumously named an earl after his death, and the founding monarch Zhang was named a viscount, and his status was even more humble.
Ah Qiu, make a fire and cook wine, set up a chessboard, and wait for the widow and Uncle Qin to play a few games first. ” So the two teams of Qin and Wu stopped, the two armies in front were noisy, insulting each other in the dialects of Chu and Lu, and the armies of Qin and Wu were stationed in the same place, seeing that it was already noon, they buried pots and cooked in the wasteland on both sides of the road, lit fires, collected firewood, and had personal soldiers and guards, holding snow and boiling it in the reeds, and scalding wine for the king.
Qingji and Yingxiang rolled up the curtain and sat cross-legged in the car, playing chess and drinking at the same time.
Qin Bo's chess is not good, Qingji's level is also limited, the two stinky chess baskets played two games, and then lost interest, looking up, the two sides in front of him have gradually developed from a verbal conflict to a physical conflict, Yingxiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Ha, I'm going to have fun watching it soon." ” But after a while, the sound of the quarrel between the two sides became smaller and smaller, and then the two sides separated, and the honor guard of the king of Chu walked away, but the Lu army retreated to the side.
Qingji and Yingxiang looked at each other, and disdain flashed on their faces at the same time.
The Chu army marched through the road in a mighty way, and it was not until they were far away that the Lu army set off later.
Ying Xiang sighed: "This Lu Gong is really bearable.
If Lu is willing to maintain the royal road and persevere, Chu will not be able to do anything, if Chu will raise troops, Lu will get the sympathy and support of the Central Plains princes.
Unfortunately, he was still cowardly. ” Qingji said with a smile: "In the past, when he was the king of Chuzhuang, he dared to openly ask the Son of Heaven about Jiuding, and now how can he look at the royal etiquette system in his eyes, but Lu Guo either does not fight, and has already argued, there is no such anticlimactic reason, there may be unknown reasons, and when we get to Huangchi, we might as well send someone to inquire." ” "That's what I said" Qin Bo smiled, and said: "Now it's your turn and me, the road ahead is narrow, only one army is allowed to pass, which of us comes first and who comes last."
Qingji smiled and said humbly: "Uncle Qin is Qingji's brother-in-law, so Uncle Qin should go first." ” Yingxiang laughed, but a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes Qingji returned to his car, Yingxiang said goodbye and led the army in front, and Qingji led Wu Jun Shi Shiran to Huangchi after him.
Huangchi has now stationed more than 10 large and small princes, according to the number of troops dispatched by each country, the Song State has delineated the territory required by each country in advance, planted a flag to identify, and sent envoys to lead the way, the princes of various countries arrived, and their own envoys introduced their places.
When Qingji arrived, I saw that some princes were encamped.
The states of Chu and Lu, who were still fighting on the road just now, were setting up large and small marching tents in their respective camps, and some soldiers were digging pits and burying stoves to cook rice and boil water.
Qingji had just settled down in the place designated for Wu State, and the gate was set up, and the monarch of the State of Yi came to visit.
The name of the country is unknown, it is a small country in the Huaisi Valley, it has always been attached to the state of Wu, and now that the king of Wu has arrived, the younger brother will of course come to meet the leading brother.
Qingji didn't put up a fight, and immediately warmly received the monarch of the state of Yi, because the big tent has not yet been tied, the two stood in the gate and talked for a while, and after a while, some small monarchs of the south attached to the state of Wu rushed to see, and the monarch of the country of Yi saw this and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The same program is also being staged in the camps of other princes, and whichever country has a large power and a huge territory, the more junior brothers it has.
The princes with stronger national power will not run to visit other princes at this time, and they still have to hold the necessary shelves.
Even the newly established princes such as the Zhi clan, the Fan clan, and the Zhongxing clan, who were deeply favored by the Qi State, would not visit each other when their camps had not yet been set up.
After Qingji met with the younger brothers of Wu Guo, the camp was also set up.
Qingji marched all the way and rarely bathed, his subordinates cooked soup with new snow, Qingji entered the tent to bathe, changed into a light robe, and walked out of the back tent refreshed, Ah Qiu stepped forward and said: "King, the last general has already inquired."
Only then did Chu Lu argue, and the Marquis of Qi, who was passing by another road, had already gotten the news, so he sent the doctor Tian Qi to persuade Lu Jun to give way to Chu, which resolved the entanglement. ” "Oh, the country of Qi is really driven by Tian Qi."
Qingji sat down on the couch, groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Then it's no wonder, when today's big country is only Qi Chu, no matter how hard Ji Song's bones are, he doesn't dare to offend the two superpowers of Qi and Chu at the same time, but Ji Song doesn't have such a broad mind, Tian Qi is pressed by the momentum, and Ji Song must be resentful of him in his heart." ” Ah Qiu grinned and said: "What does it matter, even if Ji Song hates him to death, he can't help Qi Guo." ” Qing Ji smiled and said, "That's what I said."
However, it may not be a good thing for Qi people to be so eager for quick success and offend neighboring countries.
It's just that it's not there yet.

By the way, has Yingcia arrived?"
"It's been a day since Queen Dongyi arrived, and they were arranged next to Xun Guo."
"Got it, you go and settle the three sergeants."
Thinking that he would be able to see Cheng Bi after a long absence tonight, Qingji was excited in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand.
Ah Qiu retreated, but Zuo Bingwei Chujie hurriedly walked in and said, "King, someone has sent a secret letter to ask the king to open it himself." ” "Oh" Qingji took it, looked at it over and over again, didn't see any signs on it, and hurriedly asked: "Did the person who came say who sent it?"
"Nope."
The secret letter is written in silk cloth, soft and there can never be any mechanism, Qingji opened it easily, only to see only a line of beautiful seal characters inside, but it was written "Makeup of a thousand gold body, pay with Lang."
Go and take care of it, don't be a concubine, but you have to be a person, and your wish is enough. ” At that time, the word Yiren did not only refer to a woman's surname, who did the Yiren refer to in this brainless sentence, Qingji knew it in his heart when he saw it, and he couldn't help but look at the silk book and start a fool.
Cai Jie stood opposite and saw the king Wangxin pondering, he didn't know whether to quietly retreat or continue to wait there, hesitated for a while, Fang asked softly: "The king" Qingji raised his head and asked with a somewhat strange expression: "Song Guo is not, Wei Guo is not, uh" "Hmm" "Is it Mrs.
Jun Nanzi who came to defend the country?"
"I don't know."
"Well, you stand down and call the Ear and Eye Division to see you."
After a while, the leader of the Ear and Eye Division, who had already rushed to the Song State first, appeared in front of Qingji and asked him, and sure enough, it was not the monarch Ji Yuan who participated in the alliance this time, but the monarch's wife Nanzi.
The alliance of princes should be attended by the king of a country, and the defense of the country is no exception.
It is said that at that time, Mrs.
Jun's wife Nanzi was in her mother's home of Song Kingdom, and Wei Hou Ji Yuan led his troops to the meeting, but suddenly fell seriously ill halfway through the journey and was forced to return to the capital for treatment.
So he hurriedly authorized Mrs.
Jun Nanzi to supervise the country and go to the meeting of Huangchi on her behalf.
This time, the meeting of Huangchi has a great difference from the previous princes' alliance, that is, there are two women participating in the alliance.
One is Nanzi, the wife of Wei Guojun, and the other is naturally Queen Yingchan'er of Dongyi.
Tian Qi just wants to put the Marquis of Qi as the overlord of the world, so as to strengthen his power, no matter whether it is a hen or a rooster, so there is no doubt about the participation of the two women in politics, and the Qi State has no opinion, and the other princes are naturally too lazy to ask for themselves.
Qingji nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Is Wei Hou really seriously ill?"
The leader of the Ear and Eye Division said with a sad face: "After the Marquis of Wei returned to the capital, he was treated in the palace, except for the people close to him and the imperial doctor in the palace, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not see him.
The subordinates couldn't get close to the center, so they really couldn't get the exact news, but the minister sent someone to buy the palace guards, and got a news that the water flowing from the drainage ditch of the Weihou's dormitory was often mixed with some medicinal residue. ” Qingji nodded thoughtfully At night, the noise of the day was gone, and the whole land fell silent.
The gate of Wu Guoyingpan opened, and dozens of guards escorted a carriage out of the gate.
The sky was dark, the stars reflected the snow, and the earth was shrouded in a vastness that seemed unreal.
The wind was whistling, and a piece of snow foam was rolled up from time to time, seeping into the stalk of people's necks, and quickly turning into water marks, cool and refreshing to the heart and spleen.
The carriage drove out of the Wu military camp, turned to the right, bypassed the camp of Lu State and continued forward, driving towards the camp of Wei Guo.
At the same time, a carriage, guarded by more than 100 samurai, was passing in front of the Weiguo camp and was walking towards this side.
The guards in front of them held two lanterns aloft in their hands, one with a big "Qi" character written on it, and the other lantern with a big "Tian" character written on it.
In the warm carriage, there were two men dressed in fox furs and crowns.
The one on the left has a serene expression and elegant demeanor, but his eyes are like electricity, and he is not angry and arrogant.
The one on the right is like a hook, burly like a tiger, with a crown hanging down from the crown on his head, which is different from the dress of the princes of the Central Plains.
In this car are Tian Qi, the secretary of Qi State, and Ji Chun, the monarch of Beiyan State.
After King Wu of Zhou won the world, he sealed the land of Beiyan to Zhaogong.
Zhao Gong led a large number of Zhou Dynasty nobles to Beiyan, and established the Northern Yan State with the local Shang Dynasty ministers and natives.
After the founding of the Yan State, there was little contact with various parts of the Central Plains, so it was rarely mentioned in the Central Plains.
Since the Yan State is often invaded by the Hu people further north, it can only gain a foothold by relying on the support of the Qi State, so it has always been a vassal of Qi, and this time the Qi State intends to compete for the hegemony of the world, this little brother naturally wants to rush to cheer for the eldest brother.
Tian Qi sat in the car and smiled: "Looking at today, there is really no half of them who can compete with my Qi country."
The southern princes may be reluctant to compete for hegemony in our Qi country, but it is difficult to find a force that can compete with our Qi country.
The territory of Chu is vast and it is the crown of all countries, but in recent decades, there has been no peace in Chu State, and now the king of Chu is still a child, and there is no hope of hegemony.
As for the Qin State, although it is also considered strong among the princes, it is still not comparable to the national strength of the Chu State.
Moreover, the Qin State lives far away in the west, and the barbarism is even worse than that of the Chu State, how can the barbarians who have not been educated by the Zhou rites become the chief of the Fang Bo princes of our sect and the Zhou world" Ji Chun said with a smile: "What Doctor Tian said is true, but although the widow is in the north, he has also heard that the East China Sea is jealous, and his courage is unstoppable, and now he seems to have the trend of the southeast overlord."
The king of Chu was young, and Qin Bosu was not valued by the princes of the Central Plains, if they knew that there was no hope of hegemony and worked together to praise Qingji, I am afraid that the southern princes would have responded. ” Tian Qi smiled coldly and said proudly: "The country of Wu has always been barren, and the national strength is difficult to support the repeated wars of the state of Wu.
Since Qingji's crusade against Lu, and now to swallow up the Yue Kingdom, the suzerain's dominance is in the east and the west is occupying Chu, although they have all achieved victory, but what one thing should not use troops and do not spend money to use the national strength of Wu, it should have been unable to support it a long time ago.

Today, Wu Shi arrived, the old man secretly saw that the soldiers were indeed very shabby, although the Wu people had the intention of self-obscurity, in fact, it was not a fact, their family was about to be hollowed out, and what else to fight for domination in the world I heard that the state of Chu repeatedly asked Wu for the property that Lu had plundered, but Wu blindly shirked it, and only said that it was burned by his husband, and I think that the Wu people must have hidden the wealth of the Chu people and used it as military expenses for successive wars.
Hey, the Chu people in this joint may not be unexpected, but they don't want to start another war with the Wu State, and this dumb person can't do it if he doesn't eat it.
However, in this way, the Chu people have no mustard for the Wu people.
This time, Wu helped Chu to hoe and not only make Yin Fei Wuji, but also took the opportunity to cut off the territory east of Qianshan from Chu State, and the Chu people were even more uncomfortable."
Ji Chun said: "That's what I said, but when it comes to the question of who is in charge of the world, I am afraid that the Chu people know that they are unable to compete for the position of the overlord of the world, and in the end they will still have to support the Wu State." ” Tian Qi smiled, and said thoughtfully: "The Wu people rushed to the meeting so shabbyly, which has already shown the world that they have no intention of fighting for hegemony.
Besides, the king of Chu is young, and he is still a half-old child, not as calculating as adults, and he is very easy to deal with. ” Ji Chun said: "I heard that the state of Chu is now governed by Zixi, and the queen mother is in charge of the country, and the king of Chu has not yet been in charge of the country, so he may not be able to be the master." ” Tian Qi smiled and said: "Woman, what do you know, then Meng Huan is also a figure among women, and she can take advantage of Fei Wuji's presence to lead the troops outside, decisively mutiny, and regain the royal power."
She can not hesitate to cede the territory of Qianshan in exchange for the help of the Wu people, cut off the cancer in her heart, and make a decision immediately, which can be called a woman.
However, after all, the woman is short-sighted, if she really has great wisdom, she should be arbitrary, and take over the power of the Chu State, and until the king of Chu grows up to be honest and benevolent, she should not let a child interfere in state affairs.
But she loves her son very much, and always hopes that her son will become a big man as soon as possible.
Such an important alliance of princes was about to send her son to show up, thinking that she could let her son show his strength in front of the princes, which was a big miscalculation for her.
Presumably, before the king of Chu traveled, the Empress Dowager Meng Huan of Chu had already told him how to do and how to speak, all of which were taught to the king of Chu in one go.
Hehe, but children have one of the biggest benefits.
That's what he hates, and he won't hide it in his heart; What he likes, he will definitely show.
And the surname is impulsive and reckless.
The Wu people took so many benefits from the Chu people, and the little Chu king must have hated Qing Ji deeply.
The old man and Yan Hou went to visit together, give this little guy enough face, and then give him some benefits, who do you say he will stand on Hahaha, don't hide it from you, now it is said that Chu and Lu are fighting, and the old man has sold a big face to the king of Chu, how can this little boy not know the truth of Entu As long as the princes are at the meeting, the king of Chu has made a public commitment as a prince all the way, and it can no longer be changed.
Since ancient times, there has been no joke, even if you are the son of Zhou Tianzi, because of a joke, you have to seal out a Jin country.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager Chu dared to use the young age of the King of Chu as an excuse to withdraw the promise of the King of Chu."
Ji Chun said with a smile: "What Dr.
Tian said is reasonable. ” At this moment, the samurai in front shouted, "Who is ahead?"
With the sound, the carriage also stopped.
There were also samurai on the other side who shouted and asked, Tian Qi lifted the sedan curtain, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
At this time, the samurai on both sides had finished reporting, and a samurai replied in a loud voice: "Doctor Qiqitian, the opposite side is the king of Wu." ” "Oh" Tian Qi rolled his eyes and said busily: "Give way, please ask His Royal Highness King Wu to come over." ” The warrior agreed, and the carriage drove to the side of the road.
The car on the opposite side came, stopped when he got close, lifted the sedan curtain, sat upright in the car, and smiled here: "It turned out to be Dr.
Qi Guotian, who has been looking up for a long time." ” "Don't dare to mention it to the king."
Ji Chun, who was next to Tian Qi, had already leaned back and sat against the back of the chair.
Tian Qi arched his hand and smiled: "I don't know where the king is going."
Qingji smiled and said: "It is rare to see such a snow scene in Wuguo, after the heavy snowfall, the world is vast, everything is smashed, the weather is thousands, and the people have a sense of it, it is to take a car at night, watch the snow and enjoy the moon." ” Tonight the sky is full of stars, but there is no moon, Qingji doesn't blink when he lies, Tian Qi's face does not change, and he said: "The king is really good Yaxing, then the foreign minister will not bother the king, and take his leave." ” Qingji smiled, lowered the sedan curtain, and continued to move forward.
Ji Chun sat up and said hurriedly: "Qingjiu night walking, it is not for some bullshit to enjoy the snow and the moon."
What is there to see about snow, the widow sees snow every day in Jicheng, and his eyes are almost blind.
He must be going to meet someone. ” Tian Qi smiled: "That's nature."
The princes are arriving one after another.
Let's invite the princes of the world, the time calculation is just right, they don't have time to send envoys to each other in advance to discuss the action, so naturally they have to wait until Huangchi to contact again. ” Ji Chun's expression tightened: "But who is Qingji going to meet, and what are you going to discuss, didn't you say that he has no intention of being the overlord?"
Tian Qi was about to answer, when he heard the warrior outside the car shout again: "Who is there in front?"
End of the book:
