Ji Mingyue took a deep breath, she knew that the moment she made the choice to become Qi Xiaobai's woman, her fate was already doomed.

She can only follow Qi Xiaobai back to Yingqiu and enter the deep palace of Qi country, if Qi Xiaobai doesn't like her, she may simply put her in the deep palace as a mascot.

Following.

Qi Xiaobai took Ji Mingyue back to Yingqiu, and at the same time, Qi Xiaobai sent the invitation card for the wedding of Qi Xiaobai and Ji Mingyue to the hands of the major princes.

Of course, among the major princes, the two hostile forces of Korea and Qin will not come to attend Qi Xiaobai's wedding, as for Zhao State, Zhao Yong has not yet returned, and is still in internal conflict.

After returning to Yingqiu, Qi Xiaobai summoned Zhao Yong again, he looked at Zhao Yong and asked, "What did King Zhao Wuling think?" ”

"Death, and it will not give in!" Zhao Yong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said again.

Qi Xiaobai clapped his hands: "The strength of the Zhao people, the widow saw it!" ”

"The widow is very admirable, and he would rather die standing than live on his knees!"

"King Zhao Wuling, I hope what you say counts, conclude a blood alliance with my Qi country, and send one of your sons to my Qi country as a proton!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhao Yong and said.

The confrontation between Qi Xiaobai and Zhao Yong, in the end, Qi Xiaobai chose to give in, Zhao Guo could not collapse, and Zhao Guo needed King Zhao Wuling to stabilize the situation.

Once the Zhao State collapses, the Zhao State will become the fish and meat of the Qin State, although the Qi State can win more than half of the Zhao land, but the Qi State will directly face the Qin State.

Recalling the Jin and Chu hegemony of the year, two super strong princes competed with each other for hegemony, and in the end, neither of them defeated anyone, but in the end, they became the surrounding small countries and the stability of several generations.

Qi will never allow what happened to Qi to happen back then, and it will be Qi or Qin that will be lonely in the end, so Qi Xiaobai will not confront Qin before the Qin State declines.

Instead, with the help of Wei, Chu, Zhao, and the three kingdoms to confront the Qin state, weaken the Qin state from it, and at the same time suppress these three states, so that it cannot become strong in the face of the suppression of the strong Qin.

After Zhao Yong heard Qi Xiaobai's words, he was shocked, he didn't expect Qi Xiaobai to agree to his request, he originally wanted to endure it, use the strategy of delaying the army, and promise Qi Xiaobai, so as to return to Zhao State, suppress the civil strife and the Xiongnu, and thus negotiate with Qi State.

Zhao Yong looked at Qi Xiaobai: "I, Zhao Yong, am by no means a person who goes back on his word, my Zhao Yong is from the Zhao family, and I also have the pride of the old Zhao family!" ”

"I am willing to Emperor Qi and sign the covenant first!" Zhao Yong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"So good!" Qi Xiaobai also readily agreed, although the two sides are allies, what Qi Xiaobai gave Zhao Yong was not an equal treaty.

Zhao Yong looked at the covenant, although he knew that it was not an equal covenant, but he could only sign it, who made Zhao weak and Qi strong?

This covenant is the conclusion of a blood alliance between Qi and Zhao, Zhao is an ally of Qi, Zhao is attacked, Qi must attack, and Qi must also participate in the war launched by Qi.

At the same time, the Zhao State must send a hostage to the Qi State, and the Zhao State clan must have a deep blood relationship with Zhao Yong.

And Qi State does not need to send hostages to Zhao State, and at the same time, Zhao State wants to support Zhao Yong to go back to stabilize Zhao State, and after success, Zhao State will give Qi State a five-year return.

This return is 30 million silver, and the grain and grass are 30% of Zhao's annual harvest.

Although this is asking for a return, it is actually asking for tribute from Zhao State, and Zhao State can only agree, Zhao Yong wants to stabilize Zhao State, and he must use the soldiers and horses of Qi State.

What Zhao Yong pursued was only a nominal statement, not to declare to the outside world that Qi was the protectorate of Wei and Chu, and that Wei and Chu were vassal states of Qi.

Zhao Yong's hand slashed with a knife and pressed a bloody handprint, although he signed his name on it with a pen.

When Zhao Yong returned to Handan and stamped the royal power sigil, this covenant was completely completed.

Zhao Yong looked at Qi Xiaobai: "I Zhao Yong is deeply sorry that I can't attend Emperor Qi's wedding, but after I return to China, I will definitely give a heavy gift!" ”

The next day, Qi Xiaobai asked Sun Bin to follow Zhao Yong into Zhao with an army of 200,000 to help Zhao Yong put down the rebellion.

And Qi Xiaobai began to reward those meritorious ministers in the court, and the most meritorious one in this battle with the coalition army was Jiang Ai.

"Jiang Ai, you are the general of my Qi country, and you have the highest military rank in my Qi country, I don't know what reward you want?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Jiang Ai and asked.

"I hope that Your Majesty can pursue my father's military exploits, and at the same time, I hope that Your Majesty can pay homage to my husband as a royal courtier!" Jiang Ai looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Everyone was shocked, Jiang Ai's husband was Qi Zhu, Qi Xiaobai's brother, after he was killed by the Yue people, Qi Xiaobai also buried him.

Occasionally, he would visit this brother and express his tolerance, after all, his brother wanted to kill him many times, and Qi Xiaobai is still worshipping him now, which is enough to see that this is a benevolent heart.

However, Jiang Ai let Qi Xiaobai do the power of the king's ministers, logically speaking, Qi Zhu is immortal, Qi Xiaobai can't be the monarch of Qi State, in general, Qi Xiaobai is Qi Zhu's courtier.

But the ministers were all shocked, and Jiang Ai felt that he was dying. This is a great reward for making war achievements, and this Jiang Ai actually asked for such an impertinent request.

And at this time, a minister who was more friendly with Jiang Ai stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Ai is too meritorious and dizzy, so he made this request to His Majesty, the minister replaced Jiang Ai and asked His Majesty to ask for his guilt, please Your Majesty look at Jiang Ai for the sake of this immortal military exploit, and forgive her!" ”

The Jiang family is a family with a very long history in the Qi country, and there is still a very good interpersonal relationship in the Qi country, although in the Qi court, the Jiang family is no longer what it used to be, but the ancestors of the Jiang family have laid a good foundation for the Jiang family in the Qi court.

Of course, there are forces that are good friends, and there must also be hostile forces that are not good friends, one of the ministers who are not good friends with the Jiang family stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this Jiang Ai is proud of his merits and did not put His Majesty in his eyes, this is an unforgivable crime, but Jiang Ai has made immortal achievements after all, I beg Your Majesty to imprison Jiang Ai in the camp boss, let her reflect well, as a punishment!" ”

Some pleaded for Jiang Ai, and some stumbled Jiang Ai, taking this opportunity to give Jiang Ai a blow.

And the children of the Jiang family all lowered their heads, and some of the children of the Jiang family felt that Jiang Ai's request was really bad, they wanted to make war exploits and return to the Qi court, but Jiang Ai put forward such a request, and they felt that the idea of returning to the Qi court was likely to be hindered.

And Qi Xiaobai on the throne was silent, watching the ministers fight, I quarreled.
