The strongest Marquis in history

Li Hongzhong said: "Thank you King Qi for reminding me."

He didn't stay any longer, got up and left.Li Hongzhong returned to the front of the team, and when Li Yannian saw Li Hongzhong came back, he hurriedly said, "Grandfather, how is the situation?"

Li Hongzhong said: "Wang Qi does not accept the peace request."

Li Yannian's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "Grandfather, grandson will not accept the peace proposal if this matter is left on his shoulders. Qi State has destroyed Chu State and Wei State, and the general trend has been achieved. How could he accept the peace proposal?" ? No one wants to do this!"

Li Hongzhong said: "Let's go, let's go back to Chang'an."

Li Yannian said: "The grandson will not go back."

Li Hongzhong said: "Why, are you planning to stay with Wang Qi in advance to make a relationship?"

Li Yannian said: "No."

Li Hongzhong asked: "What are you going to do?"

Li Yannian said: "Grandfather failed to seek peace this time, maybe the little emperor will blame you. So now, my grandson wants to make amends, so I will further implement what my grandfather said. Now, we are going all out to work for the Great Zhou and make a grand Loyal minister, establish the reputation of the Li family."

"This time, my grandson went directly to see Wang Zongxi, the Marquis of Zhenbei. The soldiers and horses on this route were in Yanzhou, and they were also going to the Sili area. Once Suner saw Wang Zongxi, the Marquis of Zhenbei, he would lobby the Marquis of Zhenbei to persuade Wang Zongxi strange."

"Of course, my grandson thinks this is actually very difficult, or even impossible."

"After all, according to the information we have received, the Marquis of Zhenbei is obedient to Wang Qi's words. However, with this step, grandfather can return to the court, and he will be able to do business."

Li Yannian said: "If the emperor asks, he has no hope."

Li Hongzhong's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is a good suggestion. You are young and physically strong, so go and come back quickly."

"Yes!"

Li Yannian got on his horse and left quickly.

Li Hongzhong took the carriage and ordered to set off to return. After all, the Great Zhou could no longer stop Wang Qi's attack.The demise of Da Zhou is already an established fact, and even he can predict that once he returns to the court, the news of Wang Qi's rejection of Da Zhou's peace proposal will spread, and countless people in the ruling and opposition parties will panic and start to contact each other in private. Wang Qi.

This is human nature.

Li Hongzhong can't control so much. When the disaster comes, everyone can only sweep the snow before the disaster.

Chapter 771 Conditional Exchange

After Li Hongzhong's army left, Wang Qi's army continued on their way.

This road has already begun to go west to Hulao Pass. When Wang Qi's army arrived at Hulao Pass, the garrison generals at Hulao Pass directly opened the gate and surrendered without resisting or resisting at all.

The imperial court never sent any troops, and the guarding generals were few in strength, so they couldn't stop Wang Qi's army at all.

The army continued on its way, getting closer and closer to Luoyang.

All the people in the Zixia Mountain in the army feel sorry for each other.In the past, Zixia Mountain was the leader of the Taoist sect, and they were well-known in the Taoist sect.But now that they have surrendered to Wang Qi, many people are a little panicked.

Although Wang Qi accepts it, the problem is that there is an enmity between Zixia Mountain and Sanqing Temple.

The Three Purities Concept is also the state religion of Qi State.

Once the Sanqing Temple is aimed at Zixia Mountain, it will be extremely detrimental to Zixia Mountain.After discussing this matter several times, Pu Yuanxiao, Zeng Hong, and Han Jingbai were a little hesitant. Now that they are approaching Luoyang, Pu Yuanxiao, Zeng Hong, and Han Jingbai must resolve this matter after discussing it.

Only in this way can they take the initiative to resign and return to Zixia Mountain when they return to Luoyang.

Otherwise, no one would dare to leave in this situation.

In the evening, when the army stopped to rest after dinner, Pu Yuanxiao went straight to find Qi Changsheng with the hope of the whole Sanqing Temple.He arrived at Qi Changsheng's resting place, saluted and said, "Guanzhu Qi!"

Qi Changsheng smiled and said, "Sect Master Pu is looking for the poor, what's the matter?"

Pu Yuanxiao sat down and said, "Master Qi, this visit of the poor Taoist is related to the enmity between my Zixia Mountain and Sanqing Temple. In the past, Yang Sanqian, the suzerain of my previous generation of Zixia Mountain, killed Those who have entered Zixia Mountain."

"This incident, when I think about it carefully, is indeed my Zixia Mountain's fault."

"I'm here now to apologize for this matter. In addition, regarding the parties involved in this matter, I, Zixia Mountain, will also ask Yang Sanqian to come to Sanqing Temple to apologize in person."

Pu Yuanxiao is very humble at the moment.

After all, at the moment, Zixia Mountain is in a bad situation.

As soon as Qi Changsheng heard it, he immediately understood, because Sanqing Temple chose Wang Qi, and he was the first to follow Wang Qi.At this point, Pu Yuanxiao came to seek peace to prevent Zixia Mountain from being targeted.

Qi Changsheng was thinking about how to deal with it, and he had to deal with it properly.And here at Zixia Mountain, what should be used should still be used.

Qi Changsheng pondered in his heart.

He thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "Sect Master Pu, I am aware of the hatred between Zixia Mountain and Sanqing Temple. Although there is a reason for Yang Sanqian, it is also because of the conspiracy of the Great Zen Temple. If it wasn't for the influence of the Great Zen Temple, it wouldn't have developed to the point of murder."

Pu Yuanxiao was relieved when he heard it.

When he was discussing matters with Zeng Hong and Han Jingbai earlier, Zeng Hong and Han Jingbai had talked about Yang Sanqian in the past. It wasn't that Yang Sanqian really wanted to kill someone, but was calculated by the people of the Great Chan Temple.

He hadn't even said this matter yet, but Qi Changsheng was the first to say it.

Pu Yuanxiao quickly said: "Guanzhu Qi is really a wise man, but no matter what, I, Zixia Mountain, have an unshirkable responsibility. We are willing to apologize for this matter."

Qi Changsheng said: "Zixia Mountain is willing to apologize, and I accept it. In addition, if Zixia Mountain wants to let the past things be written off, then there must be conditions."

Pu Yuanxiao suddenly had expectations in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Guanzhu Qi, please tell me, I will never refuse as long as I can fulfill the conditions of Zixia Mountain."

Qi Changsheng said: "The unification of the Qi State is imminent, and the Qi State will establish a Zongmen Management Bureau to manage the sects in the world. As for Zixia Mountain, we will fully obey the imperial court's arrangement and assist me in completing this matter."

When Pu Yuanxiao heard this, his brows raised in surprise, he didn't expect this to happen.

He is not an idiot, as soon as he changed his mind, he understood the intention of the imperial court to manage the world's sects, which was to recruit the world's warriors and bring this power into his control.

Pu Yuanxiao knew better that in this way, the people from Zixia Mountain would become court eagles.

But the biggest advantage is to become a person under Wang Qi's command.After all, relying on the Sanqing Temple is equivalent to relying on Wang Qi.Especially with the help of Qi Changsheng, all the crises in Zixia Mountain were also resolved.

Even, can benefit from it.

After Pu Yuanxiao thought it over, he immediately said, "Guanzhu Qi, I agree."

Qi Changsheng said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you can relax. In addition, regarding the matter of Yang Sanqian threatening His Highness, I will personally go to see His Highness and make peace with His Highness. At that time, His Highness will not embarrass Zixia Mountain."

Pu Yuanxiao said: "Thank you, Guanzhu Qi."

In the final analysis, Wang Qi's place is the most important thing.

If the Sanqing Temple had no Wang Qi's support, Zixia Mountain would not be afraid at all. Pu Yuanxiao came to apologize to Qi Changsheng. In essence, he was actually apologizing to Wang Qi and asking for Wang Qi's forgiveness.

Qi Changsheng said: "From now on, we will serve King Qi together, so there is no need to thank you."

Pu Yuanxiao got up immediately and said goodbye.

Qi Changsheng thought about it for a while, and after he roughly figured it out, he got up and went to where Wang Qi was.When he saw Wang Qi, Qi Changsheng didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point about Zixiashan's apology, and also said that he took the initiative to resolve the matter.

After explaining the general situation, Qi Changsheng said: "Your Highness, because of the matter of the Zongmen Administration Bureau. With the help of Zixia Mountain, then this matter, even if there are difficulties, can be pushed forward. So now, Pindao directly agrees, Let Zixia Mountain assist Poor Dao."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Guan Qi made a decision. As for Yang Sanqian, it's nothing to worry about. You can handle things according to your own discretion."

Qi Changsheng said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Wang Qidao: "It's not too far away from the unification of the world. It's a good suggestion for you to think more about the Zongmen Administration now. You should continue to advance this matter."

"Yes!"

Qi Changsheng nodded again.

Wang Qidao: "Speaking of Zixia Mountain, there is one more matter now, and that is the Dachan Temple. Now the Dachan Temple has been withdrawn from the mountain, and the mountain is directly closed to the outside world. Although it is an apology, Zhuge Feng promised not to pursue it. Zongmen Administration Bureau, what are you planning to do with this matter?"

Qi Changsheng said: "Once the Zongmen Administration Bureau is established, Pindao will personally visit the mountain and ask the Dachan Temple to cooperate with the Zongmen Administration Bureau. If Wuxuan cooperates, he will allow the Dachan Temple to preach on the mountain. If the Dachan Temple insists on not obeying the arrangement , the only way is to destroy the Great Zen Temple. It is imperative to implement the system of Zongmen Administration, and whoever resists is a sinner."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "That's the reason. It's good if you are prepared for this. But you must pay attention to the method. If you can lobby, you should try your best to avoid conflicts."

Qi Changsheng said: "Pindao, remember His Highness's instruction."

Wang Qi told Qi Changsheng some things to pay attention to, and Qi Changsheng left.

After all, there are still many things to come.

Chapter 772 Rejection

On the official road leading from Yanzhou to Hulao Pass, there is a team on their way quickly.

This team was obviously led by Yang Shanjun and Xiao Qingzhi.The two met Li Sheng in Yanzhou, and after completely defeating Cao Xuan, the army swept all over the country. At Zhuge Feng's suggestion, Li Sheng led his troops south to Yuzhou and swept all over Yuzhou.

The team led by Yang Shanjun and Xiao Qingzhi continued towards Da Zhou, preparing to join Wang Qi.

On the way, the army got the news that Wang Qi defeated Xu Huanshan, and Wang Qi had already gone to Dazhou.

When the army first arrived at Hulao Pass, there was a soldier who went straight to Wang Zongxi's side and reported, "Marquis of Zhenbei, someone from the front army asked to see him and said he came from Chang'an."

Wang Zongxi is also in the army, and he came along with the army.Wang Zongxi was a little surprised when he heard it, and nodded and said, "Bring me here."

"Yes!"

The soldiers went directly to deliver the order.

Not long after, Li Yannian was brought over.He looked confident, and when he saw Wang Zongxi, he was not timid at all, and he saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm Li Yannian, and I pay my respects to the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Wang Zongxi had a serious expression on his sharp-edged face, and said, "Li Yannian, why did you come to see Benhou? If Benhou remembers correctly, you and I should have never seen each other before."

Li Yannian said: "My next Li Yannian is the grandson of Li Hongzhong, Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Wang Zongxi understood at once.

It is Li Hongzhong's grandson, this identity is not simple.

Wang Zongxi's expression was indifferent, and he asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Yannian said: "I'm coming down, I beg the Marquis of Zhenbei. For the sake of serving the Great Zhou in the past, I ask the Marquis of Zhenbei to persuade the King of Qi to stop the war. His Majesty has already said that he recognizes the status of Qi and recognizes the status of Qi." The king proclaims himself emperor."

"In addition, Qi State occupies Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou of Chu State. The land of Kyushu is all owned by Qi State."

"With such a huge territory, the strength of the Qi State has never been stronger. I implore Zhenbei Hou to persuade the King of Qi to leave a glimmer of hope and give Da Zhou a sliver of sustenance."

While speaking, Li Yannian knelt down and kowtowed.

After Wang Zongxi finished listening, surprise flashed across his eyes.

He knew that Wang Qi's current strength was strong, but he hadn't thought about it. After hearing Li Yannian's words, he suddenly realized that Qi's current strength already occupied nine states in the world, which is really not easy.

Dominating the world is no longer a problem.

It's just a matter of time, and even this time is very short.Because the army led by Wang Qi had already passed the Hulao Pass, entered the Sili area, and was about to approach Chang'an City.

Wang Zongxi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This Marquis, I can't persuade the King of Qi. He is the son of Ben Marquis and the Lord of Qi. Let Ben Marquis let him live up to the expectations of all the people of Qi State for his own selfish thoughts. impossible."

Li Yannian said again: "I implore the Marquis of Zhenbei, considering the support of the late emperor and the helplessness of His Majesty today, please ask the Marquis of Zhenbei to suspend the war. Your Majesty does not ask much, as long as you have a seat. It’s not that hard to do.”

Wang Zongxi's eyes became sharper, and he said, "You mean the late emperor's great kindness in supporting you? If Zhao Zhen in the past had wanted to support this Marquis, he would not have counted on Ben Hou's wife and caused her to die early."

"What kindness does he have? The reason why this Marquis is still Marquis of Zhenbei is because the royal family has been the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations, so he is still Marquis of Zhenbei, not because he has any relationship with Zhao Zhen."

He was extremely resentful towards Zhao Zhen.

It's just that the Wang family has been Zhou Chen for generations, so he still has this concept.

Li Yannian's face froze for a moment, he didn't expect that such a relationship existed.The old emperor killed Wang Zongxi's woman, which is equivalent to killing Wang Qi's mother, and the relationship between the two parties was at odds.

Li Yannian changed his mind and said again: "Marquis of Zhenbei, Your Majesty is willing to be a minister to the King of Qi. As long as the King of Qi allows His Majesty to govern himself in the Sili area, then Da Zhou is willing to attach himself to the State of Qi."

"impossible!"

Wang Zongxi shook his head again and answered.

Wang Zongxi knew a little about his son.It is obvious that Qi State can be wiped out, but it is impossible for Wang Qi to leave behind hidden dangers.

Wang Zongxi will not make things difficult for his son.

Therefore, he decisively refused.

Li Yannian was disappointed in his heart, but he was not as angry as he wanted to be.He just came to ask Wang Zongxi for help, he just wanted another way, that's all.

Li Yannian got up and said: "Forget it, since the Marquis of Zhenbei is unwilling, I will not force you. Now, I will return to Guanzhong and report the news to His Majesty."

Wang Zongxi said: "Li Yannian, I have a few words of advice for you."

Li Yannian said: "Marquis of Zhenbei, please tell me."

Wang Zongxi said in a deep voice: "The Li family in Chang'an, it's time to make a choice. At this time, the Li family still has a chance to choose. Once the city is broken, the Li family will have no chance. The Li family wants to sell, the problem Yes, the current state of Qi will not give the Li family a chance to sell, you can tell your grandfather Li Hongzhong about this."

Li Yannian said: "Remember Zhenbeihou's teachings."
