In April, the border of Yuelu, on the banks of the Yishui River.

The army was stationed, and the Yue Wang Phong met the "princes" here.

Such a thing as the Huimeng was a grand event in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it required at least Zhou Tianzi to send people to participate, and the princes of the Huimeng must at least be a non-vassal state.

But the current Yue Kingdom is no longer the one in the era of Qi Huan Gong that made Guan Zhong and Qi Huan afraid of backstabbing "The country of the world, Mo is stronger than Yue." Today, the widow wants to move north and leave the branches, and he is afraid that the more people will come, so there is a way to "Yue Guo".

The big countries disdain to participate and do not admit it, but the small countries in the Surabaya basin want to participate.

Small as Ni and Xue, but around a hundred miles. As big as the Fei State, nominally it is still a vassal state of the Lu State, and it is the product of the encroachment of the Ji Sun family, and the Lu State obtained that the Lu Hou could listen to the government and acquiesced to the establishment of the Ji Sun State, but this "country" is nominally like the "Xiao State" of the Song State, not a feudal state of Zhou Tianzi, but a vassal state of the Marquis State.

The Yue Kingdom now has completely lost the strength to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains in the Goujian era, so it can only play this kind of small alliance.

At that time, in order to truly "watch the politics of China" in order to become a hegemon, Wu Yue was in the identity of "Wu Gong" and "Yue Gong" when he was in the General League, and he demoted himself by one level to think that the name of the alliance hegemony was justified.

But now Yue Wang Peng can only be called "Yue Wang", and it seems that his level is higher than that of "Yue Gong", but in fact, he is telling the world that Yue Guo has no strength to dominate under the Zhou Tianzi system, and can only live the addiction of being the king in the Surabaya Valley.

The name on the head is not called casually. The king of Chu is derived from the theocratic sacrificial title of Chu State, which is different from the king of the Central Plains. And Wu Yue, the two southeastern powers, the two most prosperous overlords are trying to find ways to turn themselves into "duke", because the alliance of the duke will be attended by the great powers such as Qi and Jin, while the alliance of the self-proclaimed king will only be participated by Ni, Zou, Fei, these hundred miles or vassal states.

Inside the military tent, Yue Wang was angry, and smashed an extremely beautiful crystal cup on the desk to the ground.

The shape of this crystal cup is extremely beautiful, if you see it appropriately, you must exclaim that this is clearly a glass.

Even if the Yue Kingdom has already moved its capital to Langya on the border between Lianyungang and Linyi in later generations, even if there is the largest natural crystal mine in the world near Lianyungang, even if the crystal polishing technology of the small vassal states that were destroyed by the Yue Kingdom is extremely superb, such a crystal cup with excellent color and shape is still expensive.

The crystal cup that was slammed to the ground by King Yue turned into pieces, which shows the anger of King Yue.

Dafu Temple looked at the crystal fragments on the ground, knowing what King Yue was angry about at this time, and also knowing how angry King Yue was now.

During the Warring States period, there was a poem that said: Deng Kunlun eats jade, lives with heaven and earth, and shines with the sun and the moon. This jade is crystal, but also known as the fairy thing, the nobles of the Yue country are buried with crystal, the king of Yue is angry and smashed the cup, extremely angry, the doctor temple area knows that it is precisely because of the news that came a few days ago.

Originally, it was planned to meet the small countries in the Surabaya basin in April, but Yue Wang Peng had been preparing for this matter for a year.

The Yue-Jin Alliance, together against Chu Qi, just fought the Qi State with the Sanjin a few years ago, and obtained the two cities of Jianyang and Juling and thousands of slaves.

The Mo family helped Teng to restore the country, and Yue Wang Fei was worried that Qi would make moves in the back, so in addition to sending envoys to Qi to question last year, he also sent people to Wei State.

Now that Wei and Chu are facing each other in Daliang, Qi has made it clear that they will support Chu, and Jin also hopes that Yue will make some moves in the east of Chu.

However, the Yue State was not prepared to provoke the Chu State, but decided to maintain the last hegemony in the Surabaya Valley, and Wei Si approved the idea of Yue Wang Phong after thinking about it, so that the Qi State could be contained.

For this reason, Wei has stepped forward to make Qi abide by the contract signed a few years ago and dismantle the Great Wall, and said that if Qi does not comply, once the Chu State is defeated, it will immediately be held accountable for Qi's crime of not abiding by the covenant.

Everyone knows that the restoration of Teng State was carried out by the Mo family, but Wei Si didn't want to provoke the Mo family at this juncture, at least after defeating Chu State, so he could only come forward to intimidate Qi State as the greatest support for Yue State.

The Yue State expanded in Surabaya, and the Qi State was like a man's back. If the Yue State fully retreats from Surabaya to the south, the expansion space of the Qi State will come out at once, and the Qi State is a potential power, and Weiss has to guard against it. Even the current Qi State is still very powerful, if it weren't for the Tian clan's civil strife, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat Qi.

Mixed with the variables of the Surabaya basin such as the Mo family, Weiss could only secretly support the Yue State's desire to conquer the restored Teng State.

From the era of Goujian's literature, there are different opinions on whether the Yue Kingdom went north to the Central Plains or developed the Yangtze River estuary. There has been internal instability, and Weiss does not want the Yue State to fully retreat to the Yangtze River Estuary Strategic Contraction, in which case the Qi State will expand.

After receiving diplomatic support from Wei, Yue Wang Peng sent an envoy to Qi to inquire about the restoration of Tian's Teng State.

The envoy to the country of Qi was the Dafu Temple District. Qi was a defeated country, and was forced to ally with Yue Hui before, but since Hu Feizi of the Mo family went to Linzi through Langya, Qi is building a city wall north of Langya, and greatly expanding the southern capital Jucheng.

Jucheng was originally the fief of Xiang Ziniu, the rebellion of Xiang Ziniu and Gongsun Hui has been completely quelled, Xiang Ziniu died, and Jucheng, one of the five capitals of Qi State, fell into the hands of Tian He, seriously threatening the safety of Langya of Yue Kingdom.

Hu Feizi showed some of the Mo family's fortification equipment and gunpowder weapons in Langya, when Zhu Gou was in the Yue Kingdom, he had the heart to recruit Mozi, and the two sides were considered "acquaintances" before they turned their faces, and what Yue Wang Fei was worried about was that the restoration of Teng was conspired by the Mo family and Qi State.

After the temple area arrived in Qi country, he symbolically visited the Marquis of Qi, and went to visit the Tian family, and wanted to ask about it during the banquet, but Tian was vague, and he used an old thing to remind Yue Guo, which made the envoy of Yue Guo very embarrassed.

The normal envoy reception, what music to play, and which song in the "Book of Songs" are all well documented, but after the envoy of the king of Yue arrived in Qi, before the Tian family entertained, he first asked Yishi to sing "Yu Wuzheng".

The song "Rain Wuzheng" can't be sung casually, it is full of frustration, and it is a song of exhortation.

Then Tian He chanted the singer's sentence "Hu is not afraid, not afraid of the sky" several times, and sighed: "Hu is not afraid, not afraid of the sky? Etiquette is to the sky, the way of heaven is also, and the anti-heaven is inevitable! ”

The temple didn't know how to answer, and Tian He said: "In the past, when the Duke of Yi fell, Cao was forced to make a pilgrimage, on the grounds that Cao Guo violated etiquette, so he had to be punished, and he could even be destroyed. ”

Ji Wenzi once said with emotion that a gentleman does not abuse the young and cheap, and is afraid of the sky. In Zhou Song, he said: 'The power of fearing the sky is protected at the time. 'If you are not afraid of the sky, how can you protect it?' Take the country with chaos, pay tribute to guard, hesitate to end, act rudely, and be able to do it! ”

"Do you know about Duke Yi?"

The face of the temple changed suddenly, and he never expected Tian He to use this allusion, and he used this allusion at the banquet, and he was both angry and uneasy.

Yue Guo destroyed Teng State back then, and it was for the same reason as Qi Yigong's conquest of Cao State, asking Teng Guo, "Why are you rude?" ”

The chaos in the Yue Kingdom in the past few years is similar to the Qi Kingdom in the years after the death of Duke Qi Huan: brothers killed each other and killed their fathers.

In the end, Tian He asked the temple district if he knew the fate of Jiang Qi Yigong, which completely showed Qi Guo's attitude.

When Duke Qi Huan was starved to death, his five sons competed, and Duke Yi picked up a leak and became the Marquis of Qi for a total of four years.

The only war with the outside world was to crusade against the Cao State, and then it was "cursed" by the people of the Lu State on the grounds of "not being afraid of the sky", just like a prophecy saying that "the Marquis of Qi is inevitable", that is, the Marquis of Qi violated the Emperor of Heaven by doing so, and he is afraid that he will be killed in the future.

Sure enough.

Although the lives of the nobles are chaotic, and there are endless incidents such as killing their fathers and sleeping with their daughters-in-law, the cause of Qi Yigong's death can stand out in these disgusting aristocratic lives.

When Qi Yigong was a son, he had a grudge with a doctor, and later did the first thing he did as a monarch, so he opened the grave of the resentful doctor and cut off the corpse to vent his anger...... And then magically let the son of the foot breaker be his personal guard.

He was also a good wife, and he endured it for thirty years before he climbed to the throne of the king, and when he was older, he knew that the woman was good, so he slept with a wife named Yan Zhi.

This kind of thing is also normal in aristocratic circles, when Chen Linggong and Yixing's father slept with Xia Ji, and joked with each other that Xia Ji's son must be the other party's kind like each other, and they were happy. Since Yan Zhi has the merit of dedicating his wife, he also made Yan Zhi his own guard.

Two guards, one was whipped by his father and his leg was broken, and the other was slept with by his wife, he was also a skilled man, and he actually lived for four years.

As a result, in the fourth year, when a few people went to the hot springs, the son of the broken foot and the person who took the wife joked and became anxious, and the son of the broken foot scolded Yan Zhi and said I will play with you, why are you anxious? Your wife was slept with, and she didn't see your eyes. Yan Zhi scolded back, "I'm just my wife was asleep, and you didn't have to worry about your father's grave......

The more the two of them talked, the more angry they became, so they killed Duke Yi.

This is in line with Ji Sunzi's sentence "If you are not afraid of the sky, how can you protect it?" Take the country with chaos, serve with courtesy, fear never end, do more rudeness, and be able to carry on" like a curse-like prophecy.

Tian He's words have actually been said very clearly, Zhu Gou of Yue Guo killed his father and took the throne, and he destroyed Teng Guo with rude and Yue reasons, and now he still wants to take revenge? Prepare early!

Although Tian refused to admit that Teng's restoration was related to Qi, this attitude also showed Tian's support for Teng's restoration.

Qi is a big country, Yue and Jin formed an alliance, and took advantage of the opportunity of Tian's civil strife to defeat Qi, but now the situation is different, and Tian knows the power of the Mo family's city defense technique.

Hu Feizi also lobbied and told that if the Mo family used the means to garrison Jucheng, the Qi State would no longer have the humiliation of the Jianyang Giant Tomb, and he and the ancestors of the Tian family were of the same clan, and they were relatives of the Tian family of the Qi State, and it was easy to see the head of the Tian family.

The insult a few years ago was the humiliation of Qi Hou surnamed Jiang. And now, if the Jianyang Giant Tomb can be recaptured, it will be the Tian family that will be glorified.

The external situation has changed, the internal situation has also changed, and the temple area is no longer the doctor of the Yue Kingdom who accompanied the King of Yue in Qufu a few years ago when he smiled and watched Qihou Luhou drive for the King of Yue......
