For a dignified Korean king, he seems a bit shabby.

Not long after, Ma Kuo, Han Chao, and Zhao Zhuo led Tang Ju and Fan Ying to the side hall, which was Han Wangran's current study and the place where government affairs were handled.

When entering this side hall, Tang Ju and Fan Ying noticed that there were many eunuchs and minor officials coming in and out carrying memorials and other objects, and they felt a slight shiver in their hearts.

In fact, before this trip, the new king, Zhao Run, had already revealed when he summoned them that King Han was a very diligent king. When they met today, it turned out to be true.

"Your Majesty, the two Wei envoys have arrived."

For the time being, Tang Ju and Fan Ying are invited to stay outside the palace, while Ma Kuo takes the lead and goes into the palace to report.

It can be seen that after reviewing the memorial for a long time, Han Wangran looked quite tired. After rubbing his forehead and temples with his fingers, he nodded and said, "Please invite the two Wei envoys into the palace."

"yes!"

Ma Kuo clasped his fists and retreated. After exiting the palace, he said to Tang Ju and Fan Ying: "Two distinguished envoys, please!"

Tang Ju and Fan Ying nodded. After looking at each other, they straightened their clothes and walked into the hall one after another. They raised their hands to greet Han Wangran in the hall: "Wei ministers Tang Ju and Fan Ying, pay your respects to Han Wangran."

His Majesty the King!"

"You two envoys are very polite." Han Wangran smiled slightly and raised his hand to invite Tang Ju. Fan Ying took a seat on the east side of the hall.

Ma Kuo, Han Chao, and Zhao Zhuo went to the seats on the west side and sat down on their own.

After they sat down with each other, Han Wangran asked with a smile: "As far as I know, in late August last year, your country's Young Master Run inherited the orthodoxy. Unfortunately, I only learned about it in the middle of this year and couldn't send you a congratulatory gift in time. I hope you can

It’s better that the new king doesn’t look strange.”

"His Majesty the King of Han is serious."

Tang Ju and Fan Ying smiled and said.

It is strange to say that although Wei and Han have fought life and death over the years, Han Wangran and Wei Wang Zhao Run have no sign of any life-and-death hatred at all. Even Han Chao, Zhao Zhuo, Ma Kuo and others

, and can also chat and laugh happily with Tang Ju and Fan Ying.

Even Han Wangran openly told his ministers that he respected "King Zhao Run of Wei" in front of his ministers, and made him his lifelong confidant. Tang Ju and Fan Ying were secretly dumbfounded: they had never imagined that Han Wangran would be the same as their Wei king.

A new king actually has such a deep friendship.

"Speaking of which, after taking the throne, the new monarch will be extremely busy every day, right?"

Han Wangran asked casually with a bit of self-mockery.

"..."

Tang Ju and Fan Ying looked at each other calmly, and then the latter said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I, the contemporary king of the Wei Dynasty, can be said to be the most diligent monarch in the history. The cock crows every day.

When you get up, the moon disappears, and you are dedicated to government affairs, you will make the national power of Wei Dynasty stronger day by day."

"..."

Han Wangran opened his mouth, and a dignified look gradually appeared in his originally indifferent eyes.

After a while, he smiled and said, "I never expected that my dear friend is so diligent..."

He was forcing a smile, but he was worried at the moment.

He originally hoped that Zhao Run would be proud and complacent after defeating South Korea, so that South Korea would have a chance to catch up. However, according to the two Wei envoys Tang Ju and Fan Ying, Zhao Run was actually so diligent and not proud at all.

mean.

Unconsciously, Han Wangran's ears seemed to echo the latter's words when he and Zhao Run parted ways: I won't give you a chance!

At this time, Tang Ju also secretly paid attention to Han Wangran's face. Seeing that the latter's face was a little ugly, he added: "Our Majesty once said that the wiseness of the king is closely related to the country. If the king is idle, the country will rise or fall; if the king is idle, the country will rise or fall.

If you are ignorant, the country will be destroyed... Our Majesty tries to take this as a warning and does not dare to slack off, after all..."

He glanced around the hall and suddenly stopped speaking, but he believed everyone present could understand what he meant.

It has to be said that the words of Tang Ju and Fan Ying aroused violent emotions among Han Wangran, Ma Kuo, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo.

However, compared to Han Wangran's seriousness, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo were a little confused.

Because based on their understanding of Wei Wang Zhao Run, the latter does not seem to be such a diligent person - the image of Wei Wang Zhao Run in their minds is more like the kind of overlord who gives orders to the king. They cannot imagine that image.

The scene of Zhao Run immersed in government affairs every day.

"This is a great thing to say, and you are worthy of being my best friend."

Han Wangran forced out a smile, and praised with a dry smile: "With such a wise and heroic leader, I believe that no one in the Central Plains can shake your country... It is gratifying."

Having said this, he rolled his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "I wonder what your country is doing this year?"

"this……"

Tang Ju and Fan Ying looked at each other, smiled and said, "It's not a big deal."

"Oh?" Ma Kuo interrupted with a smile: "Moving the capital to Sanchuan Luocheng is not a big deal? Laying track carriages across the country is not a big deal?"

"As expected, South Korea has sent many agents to watch every move of Wei Wei..."

After looking at each other, Tang Ju and Fan Ying deliberately showed some ugly expressions.

Seeing this, Han Wangran immediately scolded Ma Kuo calmly: "General Ma Kuo is too reckless."

In fact, through the detailed operations and spies lurking in Wei State, Han Wangran also learned about some of Wei State's actions early on, and was secretly relieved about it.

After all, no matter whether the Wei State decides to move the capital to Luocheng or lays rail carriages across the country, this is a long-term and large-scale project. The more manpower and material resources the Wei State invests in this area, the more it proves that they will not intervene at will.

The war between Korea and Qin - this is enough!

But at this time, Fan Ying frowned and stared at Ma Kuo reluctantly and asked: "General, how did you know about the "rail carriage"? Could it be that your country actually sent a spy to the Wei Dynasty?"

"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

Han Chao immediately defended himself and said: "This matter was reported back to the country by our merchants. According to those merchants, your country's rail carriages are quite convenient... The king of our country is the master of the Holy Ming. How can he be like Han Hu and Han Wu?"

Are you going to destroy the current harmony between Han and Wei?"

From the side, Zhao Zhuo also immediately answered the conversation, praising the convenience of the rail carriage, intending to change the subject, and finally put the matter aside.

After chatting for a while, Han Wangran finally asked Tang Ju and Fan Ying about the purpose of their visit.

"...I wonder why the two distinguished envoys came here today?"

After hearing this, Tang Ju glanced at Fan Ying, raised his hands and said, "Reporting to His Majesty the King of Han, I am here to form an alliance."

The so-called alliance, which is a meeting between kings or representatives of various countries, is usually an alliance of several weak countries to resist the invasion of big powers, but sometimes it is also used by big powers to coerce other countries, as a means of showing off their strength and status.

"... Wei Guo, can't you wait to exercise your power as the "Hegemon of the Central Plains"?"

Han Wangran frowned slightly.

The so-called "Hegemon of the Central Plains" is by no means just a false name. Under normal circumstances, as long as other Central Plains countries respond to the overlord's call, the overlord can attack a certain country at a very small cost.

For example, if Zhao Run is dissatisfied with South Korea, he can use any excuse to call on other countries in the Central Plains to attack South Korea. If a country is unwilling to follow Wei, it will immediately be included in South Korea's team.

For now, Qin, Chu, and Wei will basically respond to Wei's call, and Qi and Lu may not dare to disobey Wei. Therefore, if Wei attacks South Korea in the name of the overlord of the Central Plains, South Korea

There is really no way to resist, and I can only taste defeat again.

Of course, this refers to normal circumstances, and in fact, the countries in the Central Plains may not necessarily work together.

"I wonder which country your country wants to attack?"

Han Wangran asked nervously: "Could it be Qi?"

After hearing this, Tang Ju immediately explained: "His Majesty the King of Han has misunderstood. We, the Wei Dynasty, do not intend to conquer any country. In fact, our Majesty feels that this melee that has affected the entire Central Plains has continued into the third year.

It has caused great trouble to the people all over the world. Therefore, our Majesty hopes to call on all countries to restrain each other and end this war..."

"..."

Han Wangran opened his mouth, and then secretly despised Zhao Run in his heart: This guy is so shameless!

However, this does not conflict with his interests in South Korea, and is even beneficial.

After thinking about it, Han Wangran asked with a smile: "I wonder if your country can deal with it and persuade Qin to stop the war with our country?"

Tang Ju shook his head and said, "I can't decide on this matter. When the time comes, your envoys will have to negotiate with the Qin envoys themselves."

Han Wangran was stunned for a moment, and finally realized: Wei State only provided an opportunity for their envoys to communicate and negotiate with each other.

Thinking about it more carefully, Han Wangran immediately understood Zhao Run's real purpose: this guy just wanted to use this matter to completely confirm the fact that Wei State was the overlord of the Central Plains.

Well, if all the countries in the world responded to Wei's so-called call and sent important ministers to Wei, wouldn't this be a disguised confirmation of Wei's status as the overlord of the Central Plains?

In Han Wangran's view, Zhao Run was just showing off his strength and intimidating other countries, and any other appeals or appeals were all nonsense!

But even though he knew this, the situation was stronger than the person, and it was not tolerated that King Han would not bow his head.

"Good!...I am willing to send people to Daliang to form an alliance."

That night, Han Wangran could not sleep. The words of Tang Ju and Fan Ying praising Zhao Run's diligence repeatedly echoed in his mind.

"... Zhao Run is so diligent, wouldn't it mean that I, Korea, will always take revenge? No! I have to cheer up! ... Since Zhao Run is diligent and solid, then I must be even more diligent than him!"
