Chapter 26: The Overlord of the Past [Two in One](2/2)
The problem is that at that time, not only did the State of Qi drive Lu Ji and his son to Lu like dogs, but later, after Prince Bai ascended the throne, he wrote a letter of state to ask King Lu to return his brother Prince Jiu.
At that time, Lu Ji knew that his son would definitely die when he went to Qi State, so he begged in front of his brother that he would be his sister after all. King Lu was soft-hearted and refused Qi State's request.
After that, Qi and Lu became a little unhappy.
Qi State thinks: What does it mean to protect our country's traitors?
And the King of Lu thought: I am tolerant of you (Prince Bai) because of my face. Do you really treat me as your subordinate?
In addition, with the fact that King Lu had his sister Lu Ji was around him, the King of Lu cut off diplomatic relations with Qi in anger.
Some people may say that the economy of Lu is entirely supported by the Qi people. Did King Lu really dare to cut diplomatic relations with Qi? In fact, Lu is not afraid. After all, in addition to Qi, it is also an ally with Wei. Now, the Wei Kingdom in the west has quickly emerged, especially the "Liangluqu" and "Bolangsha" and other facilities for commercial trade purposes, Lu is not afraid that the Qi people will cut off their economic support.
Of course, in fact, the King of Lu was just angry. After all, Qi and Lu formed an alliance for generations, and he was entrusted by King Lu Xi of Qi on his death. How could he really abandon Qi when Qi was the weakest?
After all, what King Lu wants is the respect of the Qi people. As the overlord of the Central Plains, the Qi people have always been very arrogant. At that time, King Lu Xi of Qi was suppressed, but now that the wise king of Qi is gone, it is inevitable that someone will regard Lu as a vassal state of Qi, just as the Wei people treat the Wei people.
Therefore, at this time, only King Lu Bai of Qi needed to submit a letter of nationality to King Lu in his own name and say a few nice words. King Lu would immediately restore diplomatic relations with Qi.
But the problem is that it is not that easy to make the arrogant Qi people lower their heads.
Even if the Qi King Lu Bai and the five humeral ministers in the hall were willing, Linzi and even the Qi people in the entire Qi State would not agree to this matter.
Therefore, the relationship between Qi and Lu is currently in a state of stalemate. In contrast, Shaokang, the king of Yue who was restored in the past few years, now has a closer relationship with Qi. Recently, Tian Dan's friction with the Chu army on the border between Qi and Chu, among which the "Dongou Army" in the Wu and Yue lands helped him selflessly.
The rise of Wei and the alienation of Lu made Qi gradually lose its position as the hegemon of the Central Plains.
At this critical moment, Song Yun from the Northern Bo Army joined Song County to surrender to Qi...
To be honest, it is obviously nonsense to be unable to talk about it. After all, it is a huge Song land, not much smaller than the entire Qi State.
But the ministers present knew that if the State of Qi intervened in this matter, then the "Qi and Wei Alliance" would end here. The "Qi and Wei friendship" that appeared because of Mr. Wei coming to Linzi, Qi, would most likely be vain.
But on the other hand, are you really watching the Wei Kingdom gradually grow and gradually replace them Qi Kingdom to become the overlord of the Central Plains?
When Wei State truly annexes Song territory, its national strength will be stronger as it is now. At that time, I believe that "Prince Run of Wei" should also ascend the throne as king. He is a more enterprising master than King Zhao Wei of Wei...
『… Maybe, I should have prepared early.”
In addition to Zhao Zhao, Tian Hui, Gao Ju, Bao Shu, and Guan Chong looked at each other tacitly.
