Qi State, Yingqiu, Cabinet.

At this time, the state of Qi was in a cabinet meeting, the dispute between Chu and Chu was over, and the princes formed alliances with each other and calculated with each other.

The empire seems to be at peace, but as long as there is a trace of fire, it will definitely ignite the entire empire and cause the whole empire to break out into war again.

At this time, the princes were discussing how to expand some territories for their own countries, so as to fulfill their long-cherished wish of generations, dominate the empire, or replace the Zhou and complete the great cause of unifying the empire.

Qi Xiaobai sat on the chair and looked at the fold in his hand: "Master Li, do you mean that we will directly attack the Song Kingdom?" ”

This Lord Li is Li Shaoyang, with the official rank of Zhongqing, and he is also the Li family in the Qi family.

Li Shaoyang stood up and said: "That's right, my Qi country soldiers are strong and strong, as long as General Kuang Zhang leads 50,000 iron cavalry, within a month, I will definitely be able to level the Song State and make the Song State the territory of my Qi country!" ”

And at this time, Uncle Bao stood up and said: "Lord Li, what you said is that within a month, you can indeed set foot in the Song Kingdom, but what about after you set foot in the Song Kingdom?" Do you want the five Western countries to unite and attack our country together? ”

"Wei and Qin are allies of my Qi State, even if there are princes who want to attack my Qi State, it will only be Zhao State, Chu State, and South Korea!" Li Shaoyang looked at Uncle Bao and said.

"Jokes, allies between countries can also be believed? It is true that Wei is my ally, but once my Qi State annexed the Song State and bordered the Wei State, will this Wei State not go to Zhao State, and Chu State will unite to resist my Qi State? Uncle Bao looked at Li Shaoyang and said.

Bao Shuya believes that once the Qi State attacks the Song State, then for the Wei State, the biggest threat is the Qi State, and after the annexation of the Song State, the Zhao State and the Chu State will also feel the threat of the Qi State, and they will inevitably unite with the Wei State to resist the Qi State!

"Your Majesty, you have the ambition to swallow the Song Dynasty, according to your intentions, your majesty, you can only give up this great ambition?" Li Shaoyang snorted and looked at Uncle Bao.

"The people of the family are a group of incompetent people!" Uncle Bao scolded angrily.

In the cabinet, there are two factions, one is the nobleman who is from the doorman, the other is the family who enters the cabinet with the help of the family, and the other is the neutral faction from the aristocracy.

Doormen, ordinary people, they are attached to Zhang Tianshang, because Zhang Tianshang and they have the same background and identity, which has an indescribable sense of intimacy.

And the family was born, that is, with Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong was not a famous family in Qi before, but he was also a big family in Zoucheng, and after Guan Zhong became a prime minister, this housekeeper naturally became the leader of the family.

On the other hand, the neutral faction is a nobleman, but they are all down-and-out nobles, or they are from a poor family, although they wear the hat of nobility and have the status of nobles, they live in poverty.

This group of people are all nobles from other places, and the people of their family revitalize the family for them, with their money, let them come to Yingqiu, study, because they are all nobles, so it is easy for them to huddle together for warmth, and after they arrive at Yingqiu, they visit the major scholars.

However, the general scholars don't look down on them, because they are down-and-out nobles, but they don't give up, they take the revival of the family as their own responsibility, and they also know their heavy responsibility, so they are extremely hardworking.

Therefore, many of them have capable people, who have entered the Jixia School Palace, and the social connections of their ancestors in the family, when they have the ability and connections, they have entered the cabinet.

But this group of people, although they entered the cabinet, they could only be cruel to this factional fight, so they did not dare to step into a faction at will, and the people of the nobility looked down on their group of down-and-out nobles, and those who were born in ordinary people were proud of themselves, thinking that the nobles were incompetent.

Therefore, this group of down-and-out nobles was very helpless, so they gradually became neutral, and it was not easy to be neutral in the Qi cabinet, where factions were fighting strongly, so they hugged their fists and became the third faction.

This faction is headed by Tian Dan, and Tian Dan's Tian family is also a big family in the Qi Kingdom, but Tian Dan believes that the Tian family is actually a down-and-out nobleman.

And he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between Zhang Tianshang and Guan Zhong, but how could it be easy to save his life if he wanted to know it?

So he also wants to form a faction, and this third faction is formed in this situation.

Normally, this faction will not be involved in fights, but occasionally it will be involved, after all, the cabinet is for them to speak freely and give advice to the Qi country, if you have been neutral and do not speak, what qualifications do you have to stay in the cabinet?

Uncle Bao's words made the family members furious, and at this time Zhou Ke stood up and said: "As far as the concubine is concerned, it is simply ridiculous, is it that in the entire Qi country, only your concubine is a scholar and a talented person?" The rest of the people, don't they study? ”

Qi Xiaobai clapped his hands: "I asked you to discuss the matter of the Song Dynasty, why did you pull this up for me?" ”

Qi Xiaobai was a little displeased, there were many things in the cabinet meeting, and this group of people would make noise in this kind of place, which was Qi Xiaobai's most helpless.

At this time, Tian Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a clever plan, I can cut down the Song Dynasty, and I don't have to worry about attacking the countries!" ”

Qi Xiaobai is very fond of Tian Ji, although this person loves money, but he is really able to do things, and most of them are more useful than the cabinet group.

"Tanaka Qing, please speak, if it is feasible, this king will definitely reward you with a thousand gold!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and said.

"Your Majesty, as long as we provoke a war between Zhao and Wei, and we support Wei and seize Song?" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Once the Zhao State and the Wei State go to war, and we fight the Song State, will they still take care of it?" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"It's just that after they're done, won't they have to target us again?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and said.

"Your Majesty, Zhao will attack Wei, Wei will be defeated, Qi as the leader of the alliance will support Wei, we will help him, swallow Song, what can he say?" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

With Tian Ji's meaning, Zhao will attack Wei, this Wei will definitely suffer heavy losses, and when the time comes, when Qi supports Wei, swallow Song, and when the time comes, swallow Song and Wei to fight against Zhao.

"The State of Zhao and the State of Chu are allied, and we intervene, will this State of Chu also ......" Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and said.

"The State of Chu is indeed an unstable factor, but they are recuperating at this time, if they intervene, they will give up this opportunity to recuperate and restore their national strength!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"I, Tian Ji, personally think that the Chu State will not let go of this excellent opportunity to recuperate, once they give up, it will be difficult for them to recover their national strength, even if they have caused losses to our Qi State, their Chu State will only be more tattered!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
