Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 92 The situation in the world, live in Zhaocheng and the world rests
The soft light fell into the room through the window grilles, and shone on the horizontal figure. The black hair was like a waterfall, and there seemed to be no blemish on the skin. Luo Yu raised his hand to stroke the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. sigh.

People always get old, but my wife seems to be an exception. After decades, she is still like this. If her health is not deteriorating, I really think that the world will last forever.

Xi Shi sat up and gently leaned against Luo Yu's arms. Luo Yu hugged her frail and boneless body, and her heart inexplicably settled down. , keep his name forever."

Luo Yu bowed her head and smiled lightly: "My beloved is always so comforting as a husband, you are really a virtuous woman."

Now Luo Yu has a heavy burden on her shoulders. It is very difficult to maintain a stable alliance, especially to lead the alliance and balance the interests of the allies.

After Chong'er passed away and the new Jin Duke Shuang ascended the throne, the ministers arranged for him to pay tribute to Emperor Zhou and contact allies such as Luo.

But Duke Shuang of Jin said: "The state of Jin has millions of people and hundreds of thousands of armors. The former king commanded the world based on this, so he should be proud of the former king and form an alliance with the princes."

The officials of the Jin State advised and said: "My lord, the former king can dominate the world, but the national power of the Jin State is only one, and the Chu State is extremely powerful. How can it dominate the world?

No matter how strong Jin was, hadn't it been defeated by Qin Chu?
The ancestors and the Son of Heaven were inseparable, but the Son of Heaven would always agree to whatever the Emperor asked for.

The first king was able to get the support of the state of Luo, so he didn't need to use one country to fight against the four countries of Qin, Chu, Qi and Wu.

Since you came to the throne, you have not paid tribute to the emperor. Is this what the clan of the surname Ji should do?
The first monarch's mother's family was born in Qi State, but they are estranged from Qi State. Do you still want to do this?
The Luo Kingdom has prestige in the world, and if you want to become the overlord, you have to get the blessing of King Haotian, but you want to get rid of the Luo Kingdom and seek hegemony yourself.

Have you forgotten that after the defeat of the former ruler Yiluo, in Luo Palace..."

Speaking of this, the other person hastily pulled it back, Jin Gong Shuang's face was already a little unsightly, but these are all veterans, he couldn't ignore it, so he said coldly: "I will pay tribute to the emperor according to your wishes, and pay tribute to the emperor. Qi Luowu issued a letter of alliance."

Jin Gong Shuang walked away in anger. The officials walked out of the hall, and one of them sighed: "Zhao Qing, why did you mention that matter? The public office has always been deeply ashamed."

Zhao Qing smiled slightly and said: "A good monarch is one who feels shame but can bear it. Is it true that Luo State should always be suppressed by Jin State?
Jin is the real overlord. "

Everyone was silent, and no one refuted. They didn't want to destroy the Jinluo Alliance, but just wanted to dominate the alliance. If the Jin State has been lowering the Luo State, how can they raise their heads as ministers?
The problems of Qi State are completely different from those of Jin State. The new Duke of Qi is named Lu Qie, and unlike Jin Duke Shuang, he wants to make some achievements.

For him, it can only be said that he is worthy of being a descendant of Duke Huan of Qi and the son of Lu Jing, who likes fine wine, beautiful women, and pleasure just like his ancestors.

However, Duke Huan of Qi had Guan Zhong, a famous figure through the ages, to manage the country of Qi, while Lu Qie's father left him a Qi country where more than half of the Qing clan had been killed, and the remaining Qing clan and the government were separated from each other.

When Lu Qie just came to the throne, he still wanted to cheer up, but although the state of Qi was not as strict as the state of Jin, it still dared not let them control the power.

He originally wanted to use the Qing clan, which was not a threat now, but he didn't expect that these Qing clan said "willing to die for the king", but the reality is that one by one is immobile.

No matter what he asked, there were only a few words back and forth.

"The ruler of the country has the talent of heaven, is wise and martial, has the talent of Wengong Zhongxiang, and the ministers bow their heads and obey orders."

"Your servants are nothing but lowly weeds. You are the bright moon in the sky. It is ridiculous that weeds compete for the brightness of the bright moon."

The most terrifying thing in politics is not confrontation, but non-violent non-cooperation, which is the state of Qi now.

Lu Qie was not the kind of tough person. When he saw the ministers flirting with each other and enjoying themselves every day, he followed suit, so the whole country of Qi fell into a state of intoxication.

However, it is very strange that Qi's political situation, which has always been unstable, has become inexplicably harmonious, which is really a funny scene.

Only the state of Wu is relatively normal. After tearing off a large piece of land from the state of Chu, Qingji, Sun Wujun and his ministers put all their energy into it, pouring countless resources into it, and wanted to develop it into the land of the state of Wu. The core territory increases the population of Wu State, increases food production, and has no time to look outside.

This is the current status of Luo Yu's three most important allies, and they are all bad.

However, under Luo Yu's wrist, after several years of training, the three kingdoms of Jin, Qi and Wu in this state are more closely united around the Luo Kingdom, especially the three countries do not trust each other and only trust the Luo Kingdom. This gave Luo Kingdom a lot of room for maneuver.

The State of Jin restrains the most important Weihan channel from the east of Qin State, and the State of Jin also joins hands with State of Wu to contain State of Chu from the north and east. The Hu people who want to go south will monitor the two states of Song and Chen in the south.

Chen Guo had already been wiped out by Wu Guo who had returned to his division, but during the Yingshui peace talks, Chu State proposed to restore the country for Chen Guo, and finally the Ji-Jiang Alliance retreated.

But Chen Guo became more and more difficult in the Central Plains, until Song Guo, who had always been hostile, suddenly stood together with Chen Guo, which made Luo Yu more wary of the two countries.

The power of Zheng Guo is completely in the hands of the Qing family. One day, he provokes Ying Guo, and the next day he bullies Chen Guo.

After the son of Qin State returned to the middle school, he advised the king of Qin State: "The three countries in the Central Plains, Jin, Qi, and Luo, have an area of ​​three thousand miles and a population of 800 million. This is not comparable to Qin State.

Luo Yu, the prince of the Luo Kingdom, has the ability to unite the princes to work together, which is not something Qin can destroy.

In the past, the strategy proposed by the great Shu Chang Yili, I thought it was the only one Qin could follow. There was an eight hundred li Weihe Plain in Guanzhong. If it could be fully developed, it would be enough to accumulate a population of tens of millions.

There are countless scholars in Luo Guoxue Palace, among them there are as many talents as there are stars in the sky, and they can be recruited with high-ranking officials and nobles, so that Qin State can prosper.

You can also contact Chu State to open up Bashu. After Luo Taiziyu passes away, the Ji Jiang alliance will be uneasy. "

The king and ministers of the Qin State took it seriously, and since then closed the road to the west of Hangu Pass, and developed the country with peace of mind.

In the state of Chu, it is now known as the co-governance of King Xiang. The contemporary King of Chu was greatly influenced when he was young. He not only married the daughter of the Xiang family, but also vigorously promoted the children of the Xiang family to be officials. Such a high position as Yin was also handed over to Xiang.

He is very lucky, the current Xiang family is at a time when talents are coming out in large numbers, coupled with a large number of classics, it can mass-produce middle and low-level officials, and has experienced the generation of Xiang Ci, it is the time when the family tradition is the most upright, and it is the ambition to be loyal to the king .

As soon as these descendants of the Xiang family became official, they carried out major reforms in the state of Chu to strengthen the royal power of the state of Chu. Qu Jingzhao, a public family, spit out the benefits of swallowing for me.

These Xiang's children are so talented and loyal that the king of Chu always misses Xiangci, so he made a statue of Xiangci in Yingdu of Chu State, which made Xiang's loyalty to him even more.

Xiang Zi, who served as Ling Yin, also offered the king of Chu a plan for the relationship between the countries, "Your Majesty, the Zhou family and the world depend on the three kingdoms of Jin, Luo and Qi.

Among these three kingdoms, Luo State is still the patriarch of the minister's family, and the minister is not boasting that Su Wang is the most noble, even above the Haotian of the Zhou people, so don't try to attack Luo State.

The best way is to dismember his alliance. I don't believe that Jin Luoqi's alliance is unbreakable.

From today onwards, the state of Chu can marry Jin and Qi, send beautiful jade and beauties to them continuously, and can also bribe the officials of the state of Jin to marry them.

The states of Jin and Luo are all countries with the surname of Ji, and they cannot be relatives of each other by marriage. This is a great opportunity for Chu.

After such a marriage, after a hundred years, can Jin Qi still have one heart with Luo Guo? "

"Will Luo Guo agree to it? What if they get in the way?"

Xiangzi said confidently: "Luohou always puts peace and stability first, and doesn't like to use weapons rashly.

The Chu State married the Jin State. Although this plan is ingenious, it will take a long time to see results.

For Luo Guo, it is better to act like this than to start a new war, so he will definitely not forcefully stop it, at most it is just to persuade Jinjun.

The failure of Chu State in the past was because it always interfered with the Central Plains by force.

In contemporary Luo Houyu, one word is all about Qi, and one word is about Jin. If such a person is forced to be an enemy, the result will be that the Central Plains will have all the troops, and by then the Chu State will be devastated.

That being the case, if you don't wait until Luo Houyu dies, you are still young and you can afford it, Your Majesty. "

The king of Chu thought that this was a good statement, so the state of Chu changed its strategic direction. Instead of presenting soldiers, it began to marry the countries of the Central Plains.

……

The art of vertical and horizontal, once angry, the princes will be afraid, but if they live in peace, the world will rest.

Thinking about Lord Luo Yi, Ding Qi, Yu Yan, Shuo Jin, Subduing Wu, Qu Qin, and Zhen Chu, living in Zhaocheng and the world is safe, all countries intersect with each other and do not raise troops, the prosperity of vertical and horizontal is never more than this.

The ancestor of vertical and horizontal is included in the preface to show its value. ——"Warring States Policy Preface"
