Chapter 100 The Grand Dynasty Letter Palace (18)

After the Nine Kingdoms arrived, Zhao He, King of Zhao, also led the ministers in the court to Xin Palace. That night, the powerful Xin Palace meeting was held under the illumination of hundreds of bonfires.

The master father Zhao Yong and Zhao He were on the platform, and the noble relatives of the nine kings and the envoys of the Zhou emperor took their seats in order according to their identities. The identities of Wei, King Wei, King Han Cang, and King Yan Ji Zhi were the most respected, so they were ranked alongside the master father and King Zhao, and briefly ranked below to show their guests. The subsequent ones were Tian Fazhang, the prince of Qi, the king of Qin Jingyang, the prince of Wei, the prince of Han, the prince of Han, the prince of Song, the prince of Lu, and the prince of Wei, the prince of Wei, the prince of Song, the prince of Lu, and the prince of Wei, the prince of Wei, the prince of Qi, the prince of Qi, the prince of Qin, the prince of Qin, the prince of Chu, the prince of Chu, and other important ministers of Zhao State; finally, ordinary ministers such as Li Dui and Zhao He were also included.

The towering and vast palace of the Great Dynasty. The emperor presents a gift to the emperor.

Since the Rong Di entered Hao and the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the world fell apart, and the princes fought on their own. First, Qi Huan dominated the world, and then Jin Wen. Chu Zhuang followed the example of hegemony, and they all took the title of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, and ordered the princes to be honored. The three families divided the Jin Dynasty. After the Tian family replaced Qi, Wei Wenhou first achieved the hegemony of the Central Plains, and carried the Three Jins to suppress the Great Chu in the south, forced the East to strengthen Qi, and the West to force Qin into a desperate situation. After the recession of the Wei State's hegemony, King Wei of Qi continued to dominate the Central Plains. The successor King Xuan and King Hui of Qin fought for the hegemony with the advantages of the east and west, and ordered the Three Jins Chu and Yan to attack each other.

However, Zhao, which had emerged from a new army, took advantage of the exhaustion of Qi and the Qin country to exert its strength. After annexing Zhongshan, it threatened all countries to come to court with strong troops. Even with the mighty Qi and the domineering Qin, it had to bow its head to come to court.

Since the establishment of the State of Jin, the power of Zhao State has risen and fallen several times, but the overall decline has been severe. Under the pressure of various countries and the Hu people, they have continuously damaged the land and cede land. When Zhao Yong took over, the Zhao State, which was once the first clan of Jin State, became the last country among the seven heroes. The power of the country was not as strong as that of the recession of hegemony. It was only alongside Han Yan, and was even bullied by the small country of Zhongshan. After Zhao Yong ascended the throne, he learned his lessons and made up his mind to work hard to govern. It took nearly 30 years to build a powerful Kingdom of Zhao State.

In Zhao Yong's hands, Zhao State merged with the Three Hus in the north and swallowed Zhongshan in the south. The territory doubled and the population increased by 30%. Relying on Hu's uniforms and cavalry, the Zhao army was the first among the Central Plains countries to abandon the heavy chariots and infantry combat methods. The light cavalry brought powerful strength to Zhao State that made the princes of various countries afraid. Now Zhao State has 50,000 cavalry, hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, connected with the Three Jins, relying on Yan State in the north, bullying the strong Qi in the east, and suppressing the Jin Qin in the west, and has achieved a great cause of dominance. Although it has not achieved dominance, it is no different from dominance.

With the help of the Great Chaoxin Palace, Zhao State's national power also reached its peak in the hands of Zhao Yong.

Although it was dark, the huge bonfire made the entire Xingong lights brightly, just like daytime. More than 3,000 kings and nobles from all countries sat in the meeting, each drinking and talking. The beautiful maids carried wine and food plates, and walked between the tables like flowers and butterflies. The musicians on both sides played sonatas to cheer the banquet. In the open space in the center, the graceful dancers danced with music and sword moves, accompanied by sword moves, and looked at the ponytails.

The charming eyes were intoxicating. The Zhao girl was passionate and the people were close to Hu Feng, so she was already known for her boldness. In addition, her short Hu clothes outlined the exquisite curves on these dancers, which made the relatives who were used to the long-sleeved singing and dancing in the Central Plains feel fresh and kept applauding. Even Zhao Xin, who was about to stand on duty, took the time to grab some fine wine and barbecue, and found a corner where no one was chewing, and looked at such a grand occasion with interest.

Zhao Yong, who was lying across the platform, was confused with his drunken eyes. His squinting eyes were already a little drunk, but his mouth was still filled with fine wine and nectar. His head was resting on the maid's soft chest, but his thoughts had already flown beyond thousands of mountains and rivers.

The Hebei Plain, the grassland outside the border, the sunset in the long river, and the lonely smoke in the desert, he has been constantly patrolling every inch of the territory of Zhao for the past thirty years, and his majestic and majestic figure has been left on every inch of land.

His strong heart is like a never-tired wandering Kun, constantly pursuing and thinking, the mountains and rivers are at their feet, and the earth is in their hearts. What Zhao Yong wants to achieve is a great achievement that is unprecedented and has no future generations, and he wants to make him the only voice in the whole world.

At this moment, his dream was almost come true. He believed that in less than twenty years, Zhao State would be able to annex the powerful Qin under his plan, and then sweep the world, achieving great achievements that all the kings later feared and dared not compare with it.

And all this must be, and it can only be done by him Zhao Yong!

If wine is not drunk, everyone will be drunk by themselves. What he is drunk is not wine, but his heart.

At this moment, he was really drunk even though he could not fall.

Unfortunately, a sound of drums and trumpets interrupted his dream. Zhao Yong struggled to sit up from the couch, opened his drunken eyes and looked at the flags in the distance. Then he vaguely remembered that this was a ceremony he deliberately arranged, allowing the messenger of the Emperor Zhou emperor to appear in the end and praise his great achievements.

Although various countries have successively become kings, the once noble "king" of Zhou Emperor has become worthless. However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and at least the nominal co-lord of various countries. It is far more appropriate for him to praise him than his own ministers to brag about himself.

Zhao Yong held Zhao He's hand aside, held him and greeted him with a smile, and the crowd followed him out.

When Zhou Taizai xx, who was on the carriage, saw that the master's father and King Zhao came out in person, got out of the car and walked up to greet him and salute him. Zhao Yong smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he would continue the ceremony according to the Zhou ritual.

The elderly Chao Yi climbed onto the huge high platform built in the center with the help of the guards. He first recited the emperor's edict of the Zhou emperor. The content was nothing more than praising Zhao Yong's achievements. There were many flattering words and boasting words, without any style of the emperor. It was really irritating. However, Chao Yi did not know it and still shook his head and finished reading a large article. Then he took out a scepter from his sleeve and shouted with a sharp voice. "According to the emperor's edict, the power of Zhao State to conquer the power to conquer the country, to the sea in the east, to the river in the west, to Muling in the south, to Wudi in the north, to the princes of the world can actually conquer it."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar. Even Zhao Yong was stunned. He did not expect that the Zhou emperor would suddenly grant him the right to conquer the princes. You should know that since King Wu of Zhou established the country, only Jiang Taigong had obtained the power to conquer the princes when he was granted the title of Qi, and he could conquer the princes for the emperor who were disrespectful to the Zhou family. This also became a political weapon used by Duke Huan of Qi when he was dominant. In everything, he could use the emperor's orders to command the princes. After the Tian family replaced Qi, the privilege of Qi was naturally abolished.

But now the Emperor of Zhou inexplicably granted the right to conquer the princes to the emerging Zhao State again, which is really puzzling. Even Zhao Yong himself never thought that the Emperor of Zhou would be so generous.

But this is a good thing after all, and it is a great thing. From then on, the State of Zhao can conquer various countries with justification, at least gaining a moral high. Zhao Yong didn't wait to think too much, and was about to come to the stage to receive the reward, but Chao Yi said shrillly again, "Please ask King Zhao to come to the stage to receive the title."
