Chapter 681: Mediation (Fourth Update)
Three days later, the royal palace.
Zhao Dangao sat at the top, looking at the four monarchs sitting on both sides of the bottom, and he was a little proud in his heart.
Wei Wangyu, Qi Wangjian, Han Wangran, Chu Wangyuan, the four monarchs of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, are now all sitting under Zhao Dan.
What's more, since Zhao Dan is the leader of the alliance, these monarchs have to salute Zhao Dan.
Thinking of the unhappy expression on Wei Wangyu's face when he saluted him just now, Zhao Dan's heart felt very happy.
When he saw that you were not happy, the widow was happy.
Of course, this is not because Zhao Dan is stingy, but because Zhao Dan only received the information secretly sent by Lu Buwei not long ago, that is, an alliance has been secretly formed between the Qin State and the Wei State!
Speaking of which, LΓΌ Buwei's news was also delayed for several months.
According to Hu Yiwei, in fact, Hu Yiwei's spies in Xianyang had already received the news, but due to the unprecedentedly stronger crackdown and investigation of the spies of other countries within the Qin State in recent times, it took several months for Hu Yiwei's spies in the Zhao State to find an opportunity to hand over the information.
But fortunately, although this information was a few months late, it still solved Zhao Dan's big problem.
Zhao Dan coughed and said unhurriedly: "I called you here today, firstly, because you are all allies of the widow, and I hope that in the future, you can also work together under the leadership of the widow, so that the people of this world can live and work in peace and contentment, and let your people be happy and healthy!" β
A whole bunch of sprinkled with it, in general, is some nonsense and clichΓ©s that are not nutritious.
This is also a matter of no way, after all, everyone is a ruler, there should be a memorial arch or to stand up, don't you see a few historians sitting behind?
After a long while, Zhao Dan finally finished saying these words and began to get to the point.
"I believe that all the kings should also understand that the reason why you are gathered today is to contact and contact you; Second, I also want to mediate the war between Wei and Chu. β
As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, the faces of several monarchs present changed in unison.
Everyone is not stupid, the so-called contact relationship is not to let everyone recognize you Zhao Guo as a big brother and give you Zhao Guo a little brother?
Can this be endured?
Yes......
Of course I can bear it!
After hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, isn't everyone coming over like this?
The ancestors can be instigated, why can't the younger generations be instigated?
So this second point is actually the focus of the monarchs.
It is not without examples of mediating wars between two countries.
Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, the Jin State and the Chu State fought back and forth for hundreds of years, and finally they were a little unbearable, so under the mediation of other countries led by the Song State, it was agreed that the two countries would share hegemony (in fact, the Jin State was the head and the Chu State was secondary), which was known as the "Meeting of the Soldiers".
With the example of this meeting of soldiers in the past, it is naturally not surprising that Zhao Dan's mediation is not surprising.
After Wei Wangyuan heard Zhao Dan's words, he squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Chu Wangyuan, who was sitting opposite, and found that Chu Wangyuan happened to be looking at Wei Wangyu himself with a bad face.
Looking at Chu Wangyuan's unhappy face, Wei Wangyuan's heart was a little not calm.
Regarding the recent diplomatic activities of Chu and Zhao, Wei Wangyu is naturally clear in his heart.
Not long ago, it was the prince of Chu who went to ask King Zhao, and now it is the king of Chu who goes to ask King Zhao, this father and son of Chu are really a virtue.
Just when Wei Wangyu was secretly complaining in his heart, Zhao Dan was already in a hurry to speak.
"Come on, let's ask the King of Chu to talk about this request."
Chu Wangyuan had obviously learned about Zhao Dan's arrangement a long time ago, and as soon as Zhao Dan's voice fell, Chu Wangyuan immediately spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Wei suddenly raised an unrighteous army to attack Chu, took away a large area of land in Chu, and plunged the widowed Chu into war in many places, and the people were struggling to make a living, which really made the widow sigh all night and could not sleep peacefully. Fortunately, the widow knew that King Zhao, as the overlord of the world, had always acted impartially, so he took the liberty to ask King Zhao to ask King Zhao to stop King Wei's evil deeds and return Chu to justice! β
Chu Wangyuan's words were impassioned and full of grief and indignation, and he had obviously been thinking about it for a long time in his heart.
Hearing this, Wei Wangyu snorted coldly and said, "King Chu, it is common for all countries in the world to conquer each other. Since the state of Chu of Ru was defeated by the army of the outnumbered on the battlefield, it was naturally like this. Why should thou behave like such a child in the presence of all the kings of the world? β
Wei Wangyu's words also did not give Chu Wangyuan any face, and directly went back.
But this is also very normal, after all, now Chu Wangyuan is clearly coming for Wei Wangyu, as a monarch, where is Wei Wangyu willing to admit in front of these other kings? Not to mention that there is a historian behind him.
Chu Wangyuan also snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Why, the army under the command of King Ru of Wei is burning, killing and looting in the territory of the widow, can the widow still say that you can't say you?" β
Wei Wangyu wanted to say that in these years, whose troops did not burn, kill, and loot in the enemy country? Otherwise, how did you Chu Wangyuan think that he will eat the enemy? But after thinking about it, I finally didn't say it.
The two of them looked at each other fiercely in the air, and there seemed to be some kind of invisible spark and thunder and lightning in the air.
Zhao Dan looked at this situation, and he was also a little funny in his heart, so he coughed at the moment and said slowly: "Okay, the two kings, if you quarrel like this, you can't solve the problem, so it's better to negotiate well." β
Chu Wangyuan and Wei Wangyu snorted at the same time and closed their mouths at the same time.
Zhao Dan said: "King Chu, since the widow has responded to your request to act as a mediator between you and the King of Wei, then the conditions of these two parties naturally need to be understood. The king of Chu will tell me, what kind of conditions do you need to be able to cease war with the king of Wei? β
Although it is said that as early as two months ago, Wei and Chu had begun to contact and carry out armistice talks, but for some reason, this armistice talks have not yet been concluded today.
Since the negotiations have not ended, Wei and Chu are still at war.
Otherwise, Zhao Dan would not have the qualifications for this mediation.
The battle is over, what are you going to mediate?
Chu Wang Yuan immediately spoke: "King Zhao, the widow's request is very simple, as long as the Wei army withdraws from all the occupied Chu territory, then the widow will not pursue Wei's offense to Chu, and sign a contract to cease war with Wei!" β
