Chapter 642 Lifting a tripod to weigh the world! Part 1
Chapter 642 Lift the cauldron and the world will weigh it! (Part 1)
If they are from Qin.
King Zhou was thinking about the feasibility of using Qin to control Chu.
From a small country to dominating Xirong in just fifty years, there are still strangers like this in front of us
As time goes by, it will be a serious problem for him. If he cannot be won over and allowed to come to the Zhou Dynasty to serve as an official, why not let Qin and Chu fight first and profit from it?
It is generally difficult to win over strangers like this with ordinary wealth. In short, let’s try it first.
"Two Qin scholars, this time you help Luoyi share the worries, and you should reward them."
You have received a secret reward. You can draw a random card from the card pool [week] that does not exceed the gold level, or refuse the reward. The consequences are unknown.
"Zhao Cheng" and "Zhao Fengfeng" looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, we are not interested in these external things."
King Zhou remained calm on the surface, but he had a plan in mind.
"This is so rude. This ordinary object cannot be seen by two people. Come, show me the treasures of the palace!"
Doctor Wang Sunman, this is a capable man.
Emperor Zhou didn't know how to answer, so he spoke hesitantly.
"The people of Chu have made great achievements in conquering the army. Not only were they not treated with courtesy, but they were blocked this time. I don't know why?" Suddenly, a rich voice came from outside the palace, which sounded full of energy.
"Report, Your Majesty, the envoy of King Zhuang of Chu wants to see you!"
So he asked quietly: "What's the plan?"
"snort!"
"Okay, Qin defeated Xirong. Today I am going to ask for an explanation for my king!" The envoy sat down and said: "The Chu army fought bloody battles and defeated the Shanrong. The emperor and the princes should have treated each other with courtesy, but the Qin people stopped me.
It's like Luoshui. My king doesn't want to fight with the same clan, so I will stop the army for now. But if the emperor doesn't give an explanation, it will be difficult to quell the resentment of the people in Chu. When the time comes, if we can't restrain it, the consequences will be disastrous!"
!!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
This is not something that ordinary people can lift. The Emperor of Zhou could use some strength, but as an emperor, he could not lift it himself.
Moreover, the emperor is very playful. Just for fun, he once ordered several palace people and strangers to lift a cauldron, but no one could lift even one of the nine cauldrons!
The envoy of King Chuzhuang glanced at everyone present.
Once King Zhuang of Chu dies, the Chu land will be in chaos. If Qin and Qi are encouraged to attack Chu, there will be great potential!
Great idea!
The envoy raised his head and spoke.
What to do now?
At this time, someone at the table suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor.
The King of Chu publicly called the Zhou family the emperor and himself the king. This showed that at least he no longer considered the Zhou emperor to be the common master of the world. However, the Zhou family was forced by his power and had no choice but to adopt a conciliatory and gentle strategy.
Only the Chu State, not long after entering the Spring and Autumn Period, called itself the king.
Moreover, the King of Chu said it was an imitation, who knows what he meant?
Everyone present was whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, but no one answered.
This week, the emperor will not do any serious business, but will spend his days collecting wind and building palaces, and the people will be filled with resentment.
Lu Cheng only saw a middle-aged man, wearing a hat and a formal dress, walking into the banquet.
"This" Emperor Zhou didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to order his servants to add a guest seat and invite the envoys into the palace.
"I have something to say!"
In the world, those who are capable live there, and it is not surprising that the princes are competing for hegemony. When the number of Zhou Qi is approaching, the spectacle cannot be ignored!
Don't be swayed by the petty gains in front of you.
The Chu envoy’s words were very threatening!
Many people died because of the dragon energy filling their bodies.
Of course, this envoy represents the King of Chu. So the King of Chu asked himself how heavy the tripod was and asked him to weigh it himself. Should he lift it or not?
If the King of Chu retreats when he realizes the difficulty, everyone in the world will know that the King of Chu has not done so!
This King of Chu is truly abominable!
"Your Majesty, this King of Chu is not seeking the throne, but is trying to transfer his destiny to the Chu Kingdom. He has bad intentions. But on the surface, we cannot fall out with Chu. I have a plan for this matter."
You have received a secret reward, and you can draw a random card from the card pool [week] with no more than 4 gold stars, or refuse the reward, the consequences are unknown.
Lu Cheng and Zhao Fengfeng didn't say anything. The plot has been pushed to this point. Let's see what the question is about this tripod.
Wang Sunman looked around, then slowly walked up the steps, and whispered to the Emperor Zhou.
"It's a lively day today, but the victory of defeating the enemy belongs to me, the Chu people. Why didn't you invite my king to the celebration banquet?" The envoy was not polite at all.
In this era, those who dare to send envoys are those who are not afraid of death.
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he wanted to get angry, but thinking about the power of Chu State, he could only swallow it secretly.
"speak."
Emperor Zhou took a look.
This is a very clever plan.
Jiuding is a humanistic artifact that was created in ancient times.
"How much does this tripod weigh? If King Chuzhuang wants to weigh it, why not let him try it himself?" Wang Sunman smiled and said: "Nine tripods are in the world. It is difficult for anyone who is not a great virtuous and powerful person to bear its weight. If King Chu knows that it is difficult and retreats, then
His face is disgraced. If he really tries to lift him by force, he will definitely die! And his death was brought about by himself and has nothing to do with us!"
"This is because this is the celebration banquet for Duke Qin to defeat Xirong!"
It is said that Yu collected the gold from Jiu Mu and cast it into the Jiuding.
You are about to enter the card plot event [Zhuang King’s Ascension]!
Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he came.
"Thank you, Emperor. No need, my king doesn't want any reward." The envoy waved his hand.
"Sigh." Lu Cheng stood up and said, "The Chu envoy's words are wrong. Although the Chu army has made great achievements, it will disturb the people of Luoyang. The two of us are just trying to dissuade the King of Chu, and we don't want to start a big war."
I'm afraid these two people can't be easily won over, and they are already at odds with the Chu people. It's better to guide them in that direction secretly.
If Qin and Chu fight, the Zhou family will mediate between them, and the benefits will be huge!
Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder at the scene, Emperor Zhou stood up quickly.
"Righteous men. True righteous men! Come here, let me toast you two again." King Zhou picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Oh, it's a pity that there are not many righteous men like you two in the world. I miss Chuzhuang."
"Alas, alas, that's it, that's it! People of Chu have meritorious service. Come and reward Chu."
When Emperor Zhou saw this, he understood most of it.
If he lifts it, then... hum.
"The king likes gold and iron objects, Xiding, and wants to cast nine imitations. I wonder how big and heavy the Zhou Ding is?"
"If you don't see it, please correct me"
What is the size and weight of Zhou Ding?
Can this be asked?
Although the king of Chu has already proclaimed himself the king, he still recognizes the emperor as the emperor to the outside world. But if Jiuding is really moved to Chu, it will be difficult to say!
Everyone among the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period was called Duke, and Wang was the title reserved exclusively for the Emperor of Zhou.
Zhou Tianzi's eyes lit up.
The Emperor himself knows that this question cannot be answered casually. What does Doctor Wang have in mind?
Lu Cheng frowned, how could he not understand the meaning, but there was no attack for the time being.
The two of them were still unmoved, so they just drew this card and could barely make up for Chu Chu's three-round consumption. Wasn't that a loss?
Besides, there is no deep meaning in coming here this time.
When King Wu saw this, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he crawled out of the tomb and came to the field with a special move.
"What does the King of Chu want?" Emperor Zhou asked.
Just do it!
"You go back and tell King Chu that the matter of measuring the tripod is agreed. However, the matter is so big that no ordinary person can touch the tripod. He has to do the measurement himself!"
(Historically, when the King of Chu attacked the army and reached Luoshui, the official Wang Sunman was ordered by the emperor to work hard. The King of Chu wanted to conquer the world, so he asked: How heavy is the tripod?
Wang Sunman did not answer directly.
There is a poem that says:
Jiu Mu's gold melted into an image, and he fainted and went to chaos.
The rise and fall depend on virtue and not on cauldron. Why did Chuzi bother to ask about the importance of matters (Author: Zhou Tan).)
