Chapter 91: The Imperial Palace (9)

On the post road leading to various countries, teams of Zhao cavalry with red flags on their backs galloped with all their hearts, but they were struggling with the horse whip, without any concern for the endurance of the war horses under their crotch. They carried red flags symbolizing envoys, and carried letters written by their Lord's Father to the monarchs of various countries. They ran without stopping and rushed to the capitals of various countries.

Soon, the cavalry of Zhao State spread the meaning of the Lord's Father all over the world. Zhao Yong's letter was simple and clear, and he told them without hesitation that I, Zhao Yong, would go all out in Xin Palace and invite the kings and princes of various countries to meet.

Although it is an invitation, it is undoubtedly coercion. You should know that inviting the king and crown prince of a country to come to your accompanying city, this is a kind of bullying the weak and bullying people with power. Zhao, who has always been in a low-key manner, has now announced his high-profile comeback to the world with an extremely tough attitude, and has participated in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

In the thousand-year-old Chengzhou, the ancient capital Luoyi, the long bells and drums sounded, and the heavy city gate in the palace slowly opened. The messenger of Zhao held high the edict of his master's father and rode his horse all the way, as if he was entering a nobody. The emperor of Zhou Ji Yan trembled slightly with his hands. He took the edict from the arrogant envoy of Zhao, and said with a pale face. "Please tell the master's father that I will not go to congratulate you because I am ill. Now I will order the Dazai to go on my behalf. I hope the master's father will forgive me."

In Daliang, in Xinzheng, the King of Wei and King Han suddenly discovered that just when they were still swaying between Qi and Qin's battle for hegemony, their old brother Zhao had become so powerful at some point. He drove the Sanhu in the north and Zhongshan in the south. In more than ten years, the territory and population nearly doubled, leaving Wei and Han far behind. In order to fight against the encroachment of the powerful Qin, the two kings of Wei and Han had to take the King of Qi as the main force and let him drive him to fight for hegemony with Qin. But now they have an extra choice. Zhao's strong comeback has allowed the two countries to re-examine the world pattern. The simple two-pole battle for hegemony has become Qin, Qi and Zhao each occupy one side. Qi is no longer the only country they can rely on.

After all, compared to his greedy King of Qi, the State of Zhao, which was also the Three Jins, was easier to accept both emotionally and bloodily. When Wei Wenhou dominated the Central Plains, it was the banner of closely uniting the Three Jins that the strong state of Jin was repeated that the strength of Jin was forcibly suppressing Qi, Qin and Chu. Therefore, Zhao Yong sent a letter to invite him, and Wang Si of Wei and Wang Cang of Han did not resist too much. His weak mentality over the years had already made them lose the pride of a great country, so they were invited to meet with the prince.

Needless to say, Yan State was very happy after learning that Zhao Yong had agreed to mediate for Yan State, so he handed over the state affairs to Su Qin and others, and immediately set off to meet the prince of Yan. Song and Lu Wei State declined in small power, and was unable to protect him day and night due to the aggressiveness of Qi, Wei and Chu, so he naturally cursed Zhao State. After receiving the letter, they all took the prince to make an appointment. Because the Chu State was too far away and did not border with Zhao State, they were naturally not afraid of Zhao State's strength. In addition, although Chu State was defeated by Qi, Qin State and its national strength declined greatly, it was still a large land and the largest and most populous country. The King of Chu was naturally unwilling to surrender his identity to worship Zhao State, so he just sent the imperial court Doujie to serve on his behalf on behalf of Zhao State, and congratulated him like his father.

The Qin people's condemnation of Zhao State was so embarrassing that Lou Yan, who was the prime minister of Qin, was extremely embarrassed. On the one hand, he was a Zhao person, and his father used his power to suppress the appointment of Qin State; on the other hand, he was the prime minister of Qin State, and Yu Gong had to start from the interests of Qin State. In the past, Qin and Zhao had a good relationship, but his situation was better. Now the relationship between Qin and Zhao has become a little subtle, which makes it difficult for him to deal with himself. So he simply shut up and said nothing in the court.

Lou Yan's abnormal behavior naturally could not escape the eyes of Queen Mother Mi, who was standing high on the seat, looked at Lou Yan and asked with a smile. "People Lou didn't say a word today, I think what kind of high opinion is there in my heart. Why not tell me about it?"

Lou Yan was busy and calmed down and bowed slightly, but his heart was filled with awesomeness.

Although this woman over forty years old is still as beautiful as a flower, her eyes are full of charm, but her mind is firm and her methods are sophisticated that even Lou Yan, who has been a politician for a long time, is naturally inferior to that. Queen Mother Mi’s real name is Mi Bazi, and she is the daughter of the Duke of Chu and the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin. King Wu died suddenly after holding a cauldron. Because she was young and had no queen, several of his brothers fought for the position of King Qin. In the end, Ying Ji, who was supported by Zhao Yong, won. With the support of his mother and uncle Wei Ran, he ascended the throne of Qin. Mi Bazi became the queen mother and began to rule the court.

Now Empress Dowager Mi controls the state affairs of Qin, and takes the pretext of the young Qin King, and takes over the state affairs. She relies on his brothers Wei Ran and Mi Rong. They use these two to control the state affairs, undermine the King of Qin, and firmly control the entire Qin Kingdom. Zhao Yong's original intention of suppressing Lu's slow entry into Qin was to gain more benefits for Zhao State, but under the power of Queen Mi, he struggled. Although he was a prime minister, he had no power. He was restrained and ruthless in his actions.
