Chapter 145 If God wants to take it, he must give it to him first
Not long after, Yang Tongue also arrived at Zhao Wu's house.
"I met Zhao Zhongjun. As soon as I came out of my master's house, I saw the general sent someone to call him. He came a step late. Please forgive me, general."
When Yang Tongue entered the hall, he bowed to Zhao Wu first.
"It doesn't matter,
Uncle Xiang, doctor, has been working very hard these days. Come on, please sit down."
Zhao Wu said with a gentle expression.
Then, Yang Yanzhi met Zi Chan again, and Li Ran and Li Ran took their seats after greeting each other.
After the three of them sat down, Zhao Wu waved his hand,
He dismissed the servants left and right,
Looking at the sheep's tongue, he asked:
"It is said that there will be a meeting in court today.
Doctor Shu Qi strongly advised our lord in the palace that he should attend this meeting in Guodi, but Wu Shi found it hard to understand what he meant. I wonder if Shu Xiang had any inside information from his respected master?"
Yang Tongue said hurriedly:
"Going back to the general, my master insisted on attending the meeting. In fact, there is a hidden secret. It's just that it can't be said clearly in the main hall."
"The ancients said, 'Heaven wants to take it, but it must first give it to him.' Now that the princes are surrounding Chu, they are likely to take the king of Chu and replace him. There has been discussion about this for a long time in the Chu country."
"And in this meeting in Guodi, Wang Ziwei is ordering all the countries as the commander of the Chu Kingdom. His arrogance is already known to everyone on the road."
"In the opinion of the teacher, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the prince will siege and kill the king, so why don't we, the Jin State, go along with the trend and help him? When the prince siege usurps power and seizes the throne, there will inevitably be chaos in the Chu country, which can be said to be unique to our Central Plains countries.
Endless benefits.”
"When there is a change in the world, I can advance and give orders to all the countries.
If you attack Chu, you can retreat; if you retreat, you can maintain your own strength and consider it a blessing."
I remember that back in Lingtai Palace, my uncle Qi spoke very nicely in front of all the civil and military officials, about cultivating one's morality and benevolence to govern the country, and being prepared for danger in times of peace, etc., in a grand and upright manner, which made the Marquis of Jin and the others
The Jin court officials were stunned for a while.
But what about actually?
The saying "Kill you while you are sick" is applicable in any era.
Since you, Prince Wei, have long been arrogant and have convened an alliance this time just to build momentum, then I will go with the trend and why not push you? Your Chu country was in chaos earlier and you will bring disaster on yourself as soon as possible. Our Jin country
Will I be able to sit back and relax in the future?
Behind Uncle Qi's high-sounding rhetoric, what is hidden is nothing more than intrigues and intrigues.
This has many similarities with the deceitful techniques of later dynasties, and the best among them is
It must be Zhu Yuanzhang.
If we connect Zhu Yuanzhang's later governance methods with the words of his female uncle Qi at this time,
It is enough to conclude that Zhu Yuanzhang must have read a lot of these when he was young and fighting.
Li Ran heard the sound,
I almost couldn't help but give my uncle Qi a thumbs up.
You are still as old as you are old, you are as ruthless as you are ruthless. I am afraid that only an old Yin person like Nv Shuqi can think of such a harmful move of retreating in order to advance.
And isn’t this a classic: If God wants to make it die, he must first make it crazy?
If Herodotus, the historian of ancient Greece, had known that in the far east, someone had said the same thing as him a hundred years before him, he would probably not be able to help but start the first Eurasian war in human history.
Let’s travel.
"Well, Dr. Shuqi hit the nail on the head, and I sincerely admire him."
Even if it was Zhao Wu, he couldn't help but sigh at the "great wisdom" of his female uncle Qi.
After saying this, he stroked his beard, which was already white, and thought about it carefully. Finally, he looked at the crowd and said:
"In that case, what do you think we should do next?"
Now that the meeting in Guodi has been decided, what kind of preparations should be made next and how to plan in advance are all big questions.
At this moment, Li Ran immediately raised his hands and said:
"I think that because Wang Ziwei convened the alliance this time as the commander of the Chu Kingdom, he could just do what Dr. Shu Qi said and give him face. We just need to wait and see what happens, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"
"It's just that although you have to give this face, you can't give it too much. After all, it's better to keep some responsibilities."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall nodded slightly.
After Zhao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but cupped his hands and said:
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
So, Li Ran continued to nod and said:
"In the final analysis, Wang Ziwei is just the commander of the Chu Kingdom. Although he has long had the intention to be arrogant, we cannot go along with it. However, I think that this time the Guo alliance will be held, the princes of the vassal states will be able to
It is not necessary to go in person, the Marquis of Jin can just summon all the countries with the order of the leader of the alliance, and ask the kings of each country to send only one minister to attend."
"On the one hand, this can show the world that the whole Jin Kingdom has no intention of overstepping its rulers and ministers. Secondly, it can also be equal to the status of the prince surrounding his commander, so that he will not dare to make too many mistakes in the alliance meeting.
.”
After Zhao Wu heard this, he nodded immediately and said:
"Well, what Ziming said is very reasonable."
"Then...presumably the minister who participated in the meeting of Guodi in Zheng Guo this time must be Dr. Zichan, right?"
The person from Zheng Guo attending this alliance meeting is naturally none other than Zichan. Since he is already here, what else can change?
In fact, this is also another meaning of Hanhu.
Han Hu asked his son to be an envoy to the Jin State. Although he had the intention of lobbying the Marquis of Jin to refuse to participate in the alliance, Han Hu actually knew very well that the Chu State was now ordering other countries in the name of the Song Alliance.
, and it is actually difficult for the Jin State to reject him justifiably.
Once Jin cannot refuse, then Jin and Zheng will definitely join the alliance.
As for who the Jin State would send, Han Hu really couldn't control it. But for the Zheng State, people like Feng Duan and Si Hei were absolutely not allowed to go.
So he sent Zichan to the Jin State. Even if the lobbying failed, Zichan should go directly to participate in the alliance.
"General, it is clear to me that I, Zheng Zhi, have made it clear before that if the meeting in Guodi cannot be refused, then I will let the overseas Chinese make the trip on my behalf."
Zichan handed it over, which was regarded as accepting Zhao Wu's guess.
"Well, that's very good. I have also made up my mind this time. I will definitely come in person for this alliance meeting."
"Although I have not been involved in political affairs for many years, now I want to see how capable these young people from Chu State are, and how dare they act so arrogantly in front of our Jin State?"
Although Zhao Wu's words clearly meant that he wanted to cheer up, he also meant to protect Han Qi.
As the next commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, Han Qi is young and in his prime. It stands to reason that Han Qi is the best candidate for this meeting in Guodi. Just like the previous meeting at Pingqiu.
But Zhao Wu was determined to go there in person this time. He said that he wanted to meet Wang Ziwei for a while, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he disliked Han Qi for being too tactful and not impartial enough.
In the words of later generations, Han Qi is an exquisite egoist. Therefore, if he is allowed to go, it may be difficult to establish the image of a great country.
After all, the matter of the second alliance is related to the relationship between various countries and the Jin State. Therefore, if it is not handled properly, it will be tantamount to destroying the century-old brand of the Jin State.
Therefore, in this situation, only veterans like Zhao Wu can control it now.
