Lian Po looked at Wei Wuji with a smile. Back then, even Qin Wangji was made disgraced by Lin Xiangru. How should Wei Wuji respond?
Wei Wuji was silent for a long time and did not speak. Just when everyone thought he had given up, Wei Wuji raised his head and said: "The Prime Minister Zuo is right. The Chu State exerts the greatest pressure on the Wei State, but does this pressure pose a threat to the Wei State? No.
.No matter how weak Wei is, it has never been defeated by Chu on the frontal battlefield."
"But the power of the Chu State will threaten the status of our Zhao State. Today, King Xiong Wan of Chu selects talents and works hard to govern. The Chu State's national strength is increasing day by day. Today, with our Zhao State as the leader, it is possible for us to compete with our Zhao State in the future.
The country is the enemy.”
"When the time comes, Han Wei Qi, who is currently surrounding our Zhao State, may turn to Chu State as the leader of the alliance. Does the Left Minister want to see that day?"
Zhao Kuo sat on it and watched the two people arguing quietly.
"Mr. Xinling's words are wrong. Let's not say that this day will never come. Even if it does come, it will be because of the incompetence of our ministers in Zhao State and the weakening of our national power, not because of the strength of Chu State."
"Secondly, whether or not the legitimacy of the Yue State is recognized will have no impact on the weakening of the Chu State. Even if it is not recognized, our Zhao State can still weaken the Chu State through the Yue State. On the contrary, recognizing the legitimacy of the Yue State will only offend the Chu State.
, without any benefit.”
"Third, Zhao's biggest enemy is not Chu, but Qin. We, Zhao, must unite with Chu, or at least make Chu neutral, instead of pushing Chu to Qin's side."
Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice.
Wei Wuji fell into silence again.
In fact, Lin Xiangru was right.
Unlike Lin Xiangru who only considered Zhao, Wei Wuji was not only thinking about Zhao, but also Wei.
One is the country that gave birth to him and raised him, and the other is the country that trusts and uses him. He cannot let go of either country.
Reason told him that since he was already in Zhao State, he should give up everything he had with Wei State, but emotion prevented him from doing this. After all, he was only a human being.
As long as we are human, we have an emotional side.
"What do other people think?" Zhao Kuo did not let the two of them continue to argue, but looked at the others.
Suddenly, the court was divided into two waves. One wave stood with Lin Xiangru and believed that the legitimacy of the Yue State could not be recognized. The other wave stood with Wei Wuji and believed that the legitimacy of the Yue State should be recognized.
Of course, there are more who lower their heads and say nothing.
"What do you think of Xunzi?" Zhao Kuo saw that Xunzi remained silent and directly called his name.
"I think what both of you said is reasonable. In fact, whether you admit it or not, the Yue Kingdom is still there, and it doesn't make any difference." Xunzi said.
"Where is General Lian Po?" Zhao Kuo sighed, and Xunzi also started to play tricks.
Xunzi said that he was a little unjust, and he really felt that what both of them said was reasonable.
"Your Majesty, I will only lead the troops to fight. I will not understand these things." Lian Po said loudly.
"I have made my decision and declare to the world that our Zhao State will not recognize the Yue State and will fully support the Chu State in destroying the rebels." After saying this, Zhao Kuo stood up and walked towards the harem without looking back.
The quarrel over such a trivial matter lasted for so long, thanks to the fact that both Lin Xiangru and Wei Wuji were rational people. If they had been irrational and talked in a foggy way, I don't know what kind of quarrel it would have been.
"The king hasn't said how many soldiers he has, so why did he leave?" Meng Wu walked out of the hall and said strangely.
"The soldiers you sent out are to support the Chu State in exterminating the rebels, not to help the Chu State in exterminating the rebels. Those are rebel bandits from the Chu State. What does it have to do with our Zhao State?" Meng Ao slapped his son on the back of the head.
He said angrily.
"Isn't that just doing nothing?" Meng Wu said.
"Since the State of Yue is not recognized, the rebel bandits are Chu's internal affairs. The State of Chu can invite other countries to attack the State of Yue, but it is impossible to invite other countries to suppress the bandits for itself. It cannot afford to lose this person." Le Yi passed by and smiled.
said.
"The Yue Kingdom has taken action. Let's see how the Chu Kingdom responds." Tian Dan said.
"What would you do if it were you?" Le Yi asked.
"It's simple. The Yue Kingdom has declared its restoration and morale is at a high level at this time. As long as..." Tian Dan said in a low voice.
"You are still insidious." Le Yi praised.
"Don't tell me you didn't expect it." Tian Dan glanced disdainfully at Le Yi, who had disguised himself as a white lotus. They were both from a thousand-year-old chat room. They were playing foxes, and no one knew who was who.
Everyone who comes to this position is full of evil, and good people have long been crushed into scum.
Back in the harem, Zhao Kuo summoned Liu Ping and asked, "Is there any news from other countries?"
"Not yet. The four countries of Han, Wei, Qi and Yan should be waiting for news from Zhao." Liu Ping shook his head.
After all, Zhao is also the nominal eldest brother of the Four Kingdoms. The younger brother must wait for the big brother to announce it and see what the big brother says before following up.
"Send a message to the five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Qi, Yan, and Wei, asking them to announce their recognition of the restoration of the Yue Kingdom and send people to inform the Yue Kingdom of this matter." Zhao Kuo said.
After hearing this, Liu Ping suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo, his face full of surprise at such an operation, and he quickly said, "No."
"Well, go ahead." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
…
If the restoration of the Yue Kingdom caused turmoil in other parts of the world, then it caused huge waves in the Chu State. The people were talking a lot, and the palace was having constant discussions every day, all discussing how to deal with the Yue Kingdom.
"What news has come from various countries?" King Chu Wan sat on the throne, supported his head with his right hand, and asked with force.
If we want to say who is the hardest working monarch in the world today, King Wan of Chu is definitely number one.
During the day, he had to govern the country and the army, and he had to face the hordes of Chu nobles. At night, he had to face a large group of concubines.
These are the beauties Huang Xie selected from all over Chu State and even other countries. There are all kinds of beauties.
Normal men like beautiful women, and King Chu also likes them. After all, he is not the Brokeback Mountain King of Wei.
Besides, even King Wei of Brokeback Mountain also likes beautiful women. He likes both men and women, and he doesn't just like men.
But although beauties are good, no one can stand seeing so many of them every day.
Even if the body can tolerate it, the kidneys cannot.
King Chu is almost blind now, and his legs are shaking a little when he walks.
"The State of Zhao announced that it will not recognize the State of Yue, and all other countries will recognize the State of Yue." Huang Xie took a step forward, cupped his hands and said.
"Oh." King Chu nodded expressionlessly. Except for Zhao, the other countries did not exceed his expectations. "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you think Chu should do? To fight or not to fight?"
"We must fight. If we don't fight, we won't be able to establish our prestige. That's just the Qin State. If even the small Yue State dares to provoke us in front of Chu State, how can our Chu State stand on the world." Huang Xie said immediately.
