Volume 8 Chapter 119 The Royal Family Gathering (1)
In this era, the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and the Seven Kingdoms is nothing more than the struggle of the royal family.
A long-term war fought by various vassal states for dominance. Death or extinction, the royal family itself will not be affected much.
In particular, after each major war, the Imperial Family would hold regular meetings to discuss some policy guidelines.
A society, from a slave society to a feudal society, everyone is groping, and the royal family does not understand. Only by listening to the opinions of each royal family and seeing what the other party is doing can we formulate a national policy for the land under their rule.
The Beigong Sword Debate held by Zhongnan Mountain, many young royal families came.
The ranking is also very particular, and there is no one sitting in the main seat. Even the prince of Chu did not sit in that position, but sat at the bottom.
Who sits in what position mainly depends on the comprehensive strength of each country, and whoever exceeds the rules will be condemned by the old men of the royal family when he goes back. Looking at the whole country, when the Qin State is the leader, the main position is naturally reserved for Yingzheng.
He doesn't fight about this, just sits at his table and sipes his wine. frequently drank with Yan Dan opposite, and glanced at the bottom two positions from time to time, because there were two people arguing.
Those two were none other than Zhao Qian and Zhao Jia.
The annexation of Zhao by Qin was originally a strategy formulated by Zhao Qian and Ying Zheng behind the scenes, although Zhao Qian was not the king of Zhao, but no royal family dared to underestimate him. None of those who can become kings are simple people. The conspiracy between Zhao Qian and Ying Zheng deceived everyone into it, and bloodlessly disintegrated Zhao Jia's forces in exchange for the stability of Zhao Qian's royal family.
Zhao Jia had a bad time, first being driven out of Handan by Zhao Qian, and then being chased and killed by inexplicable assassins. Especially the demon Mo Wu'an, it seems that he has been staring at him, wherever Zhao Jia goes, Mo Wu'an will chase him.
In Zhao Jia's heart, there is always a subconscious, that is, the devil was born, which is the famous hall made by Yingzheng and Zhao Qian. It's just that there is no real evidence, so he can't say anything about it, and others won't believe it.
There is no way, in order to survive, Zhao Jia can only occupy one place and become king in Daicheng. He didn't even dare to go to Yanmen Pass, because Li Mu was gone, and those guards would only listen to Zhao Qian's orders, not the orders of him, the acting king who established himself as the king. To put it bluntly, Zhao Qian is indeed the king of Zhao State, and Zhao Jia's current king is just a fake king.
The royal families of all countries would not recognize Zhao Jia's status, and even King Yan did not dare to admit it under the threat of Yingzheng. Only Yan Dan reached a preliminary alliance with him, this alliance is very unreliable, everything must be hidden in private, and it cannot be put on the table, so as not to give the royal family a tongue, and Yingzheng will use this to attack Yan State.
Zhao Qian and Zhao Jia both wanted each other to die. Especially the purpose of this visit, they are all ready to marry Su Xi. Su Xi is a native of Beigong, a woman, whoever can win it will affect many people in the Zhao army.
Zhao Qian sneered: "As we all know, the dispute in the Central Plains is only a dispute within our royal family. Yingzheng's eldest brother is strong, and if he loses, he must admit it, and don't bring trouble to his royal family. ”
"Everyone also saw that the king of Qin occupied a place and did not massacre the city. All the royal temples are still preserved, the wealth is not lost, and the old people in the family are praised. I just want to ask Zhao Jiagongzi, where did you get the courage to dare to violate the oath of your ancestors and ancestors and claim the throne without authorization. You are king, and there is a respected royal family who nods? ”
Zhao Jia sneered: "The battle of the royal family is also the battle of territory. Now no one has come out to speak for me, it's just that they don't see what I'm capable of. In time, I will let everyone see it, and then there will be people who agree. ”
"It's better than you, the former King of Zhao, Handan can obviously hold it, but you conspire with Yingzheng to give up the great rivers and mountains, which is not something that a king can do. Now you still have the face to talk about me, how dare you confront me? ”
Zhao Qian laughed and said, "I appeared here to tell everyone the fact that you are not as good as me. ”
"When you competed for the crown prince, you lost to me; Handan was besieged, and you fled timidly without permission, without any responsibility. You are not even an opponent of me, how can you be the opponent of Brother Yingzheng? ”
"This is a royal gathering, and I can say some things too. Young Master Yan Dan, King Yan didn't dare to ally with Zhao Jia, but you secretly supported him with money and food, is Yan really so rich? Don't think that no one knows about this matter, I just left a little affection for everyone, and didn't say it to Brother Yingzheng. ”
"What kind of place is Daicheng? It is an important town in the north second only to Yanmen Pass. All military deployments were only for the northern Huns, not for the Central Plains. How can such an important piece of land be without my people? You have to think clearly, if Zhao Jia borrows the hands of the Huns and opens the gateway to the first line of the Great Wall, if the result is, you will not end well. ”
Hearing this, all the royal families looked over, and Hou Sheng was moved, and opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. On this occasion, it would be very good to have his place, how could he interject casually.
Hou Sheng doesn't say, but someone says.
He frowned and said, "Prince Yan, is there such a thing?" How can the dispute between the royal family lead to foreign races? Have we all forgotten the Dog Rong Rebellion back then? ”
Yan Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, please ask the King of Chu to wait for me to ask." ”
Yan Dan said to Zhao Qian: "Zhao Qiangongzi, can this matter be evidenced?" ”
Zhao Qian said affirmatively: "Of course, you are close to Zhao Jia, you can send some cronies to Daicheng." There was a Hun cavalry there, numbering about three thousand. ”
Yan Dan asked Zhao Jia, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Zhao Jia didn't expect Zhao Qian to even know this, in front of the royal family, he couldn't talk nonsense. After sorting out his thoughts, he said slowly: "This is indeed the case. ”
"There is a famine in my Zhao country, and the supply of money and food is not available, and the countries will not do business with me, I can only do business with the grassland people."
Zhao Qian sneered: "Is it just business? Do you need 3,000 cavalry to do business? ”
He said coldly: "I don't believe it either, three thousand cavalry, the armor and equipment needed are not small, where did you get so much money?" I understand, your money and food should be provided by Prince Yan. Conspiring with foreign clans is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger, and I don't want to be contaminated with this bad luck. Prince Yan, I don't care how Zhao Jia makes trouble, but I need an explanation from you. ”
Yan Dan said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, King Chu, I know how to do it." ”
This news dealt a big blow to Yan Dan, and it has always been a taboo for the royal family to join foreign clans to participate in disputes in the Central Plains. If you don't do anything wrong in this matter, it is very likely that the agreements reached with the nations will immediately become a piece of waste paper, and if you don't do it well, you will be attacked by the nations together.
As for the personal grievances of Zhao Qian and Zhao Jia, they are no longer in their consideration.
Yan Dan whispered to a close attendant beside him, then closed his eyes and waited for Yingzheng's arrival. Some things can be done in private, and you can't get too close to Zhao Jia in public, and you still need to have some face between the royal family.
Sending a close attendant is to ask Zhao Jia about this matter, no matter what, the three thousand Huns must be expelled from the Central Plains, otherwise, Yan Dan will also be in big trouble.
Zhao Qian and Zhao Jia stopped arguing, and each talked to someone who was familiar with each other......
It didn't take long for Yingzheng to come with Zhongli, Ice Girl, Anjou, and Lilac......
