Speaking of his elder brother, Zhao Zhongbao was displeased: "Don't mention him again, Mr. Duke! There is no such cruel elder brother in the world who holds the power of the world, but drives his brother to a bitter and cold place where birds do not shit. He will not be allowed to return to Beijing for three years? A sworn brother has taken good care of him and recommended him to become a general of the Eighth Division of Zhou. Has the Duke seen such ridiculous things?"

"What happened?" Zhou Gong made a false statement of surprise: "Yan Hou was talking about Ji Duoyou? Why, he has come to Cheng Zhou?"

"Yeah------" Zhao Zhongbao responded depressedly.

At this moment, Uncle Mei brought the wine and dishes and set up a case together. Zhao Zhongbao saw that the table was particularly neat: stewed with elk, stewed meat, big river carp, horde vegetable soup, pounded noodles, a large plate of golden rice balls, and two buckets of cold and sweet fermented glutinous rice. It was both precious and home-cooked, and the Chengzhou and Wangji flavors were all used.

Zhao Zhongbao was deeply moved: "How dare Bao be the one who is so worried about his care?"

"It should be like this." Zhou Gongding laughed and said, "Tonight, Marquis Yan let go of his belly and open his heart. If you have any grievances, you can drink all your worries."

"Okay, then I'm not polite." Zhao Zhongbao opened his conversation: "Mr. Master, have you never been to Yancheng? What the hell is that? It can freeze people's ears and not leave the house for more than half a year, so I can only stay on the kang. When Zhao Bohu stays in such a prosperous place as Haojing, can he understand my suffering? Let him come to Yancheng to try it?

I was so upset that I finally returned to Haojing. Isn’t it okay to stay for a few more days? Isn’t it just that I hurt a few people when I go out of the city? What’s the point? He actually blamed him in public?"

Duke Zhou was surprised: "The official secretary said you were recuperating, but he never thought that there was such a reason in it. That was a bit too much. After all, he was a brother, how could he do such a ruthless move?"

Zhao Zhongbao suddenly felt the whip marks on his back pierced like a needle, and said hatefully: "I just regret that I was born a few years later than him. If it weren't for this-----"

This meal was drank until the rooster crowed. Zhao Zhongbao was very happy and was carried back to the neighboring courtyard by his servant. He couldn't sleep all night, and Duke Zhou was very tired. As soon as he finished sending the guests, he immediately returned to his room and returned to his bed. After a while, heavy snoring sounds filled the quiet back hall.

It was noon the next day when Uncle Mei stood up when she was serving the master. Seeing that Duke Zhou was still a little tired, she felt very distressed: "The Duke is already old, why should he deal with the Duke Yan so hard? He always summoned Zimu's younger brother. Even if their brothers have a gap, I am afraid that they will make up again in the future. I said that it would be better for the master to stay away from him."

"How do you know?" Zhou Gongding stared at him: "The way to win the chess game lies in whether you can quietly lay out the net of heaven and earth when your opponent is ignorant, rather than just trying to catch blindly. What about opponents like Zhao Zimu? Since they know that their brothers are not harmonious, how can I sit and watch this opportunity flow through my eyes?"

At sunset, Zhao Zhongbao invited him back and forth. After a few days, the relationship between the two became very hot. In Zhao Zhongbao's view, although Zhou Gongding was considered his father in both age and age, he was like a kind and easy-going brother, and there was no grudge between them.

A few days passed, and seeing the floods of the river passed, Duke Zhou decided that he could no longer delay and had to return to Haojing. As soon as he left, Zhao Zhongbao also felt that it was boring to continue staying in Shangshe Post Office in Luoyi, so he set off north to Yancheng. Shangshe Post Office Minister sent the two masters away, felt deeply relaxed, and rewarded several servants in succession.

When they left, the willows were swaying, and when they returned, the lotus spitted their stems. As Duke Zhou set up a mission to mediate and returned home, the Great Zhou court fell into a foggy debate.

Other things are trivial matters, such as Ji Hou not caring about the king's envy, his fiancee married before the cold, and Lu State, as an important vassal state of the Ji surname, now despise the royal family, etc., can be ignored. The most serious problem is that Zhao Duke got the exact information, and the Qi Hou Lu Bushan was preparing military and horses, recruiting soldiers, and preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Ji this fall, with ambition to destroy the country.

In this fashion, although there were occasional conquests among the vassal states, there were few wars of destruction of the country by large countries annexing small countries. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, which attached great importance to the inheritance of blood, destroying people and exorcising people was regarded as a despicable act and would attract the world to look at it. The reason why Chu was regarded as a barbarian by the Central Plains countries was not only because it was located in the south, but also because they had no scruples to destroy people, and was regarded as a heretic by the Central Plains princes.

Besides, the Ji State talks about population and land, and is also a medium-sized vassal state that ranks in the Central Plains. If the war really breaks out, the impact on the entire Central Plains region will be unpredictable. In this matter, no matter from the perspective of reason and general trend, the dynasty has no reason to sit idly by. But truth is truth, reality is reality. If you really want to send troops to help Ji State fight against Qi State, then -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rui Liangfu, who was upright, firmly stood in the main war faction this time. He stood before the Chaozhu and talked: "The two countries of Ji and Qi both came out of Taigong, and the countries of the same surname attacked each other, which was a rebellion. The Duke of Qi Lu Bushan had been hiding evil intentions for a long time, and this wind could not be long. Our dynasty should quickly send the eighth division of Zhou to Jicheng, so that Lu Bushan would throw a rat and avoid the disaster, which might prevent the Central Plains from being damaged by war. No matter how late, it would be too late."

Zhou Gongding, who had just rushed back to Haojing, insisted on letting it go. Only those who witnessed the situation of the three kingdoms of Lu Qi Ji had the right to speak. He vigorously described the current prosperity of Qi in the main hall. The prosperity and noisy new capital Linzi is no less than that of the royal capital. What's more, since the great defeat of King Xianyi when he was alive, the eight divisions of Chengzhou have already shown a decline, and it is impossible to compare with the Qi division, which is in an upward trend.

"What's more, once the military is fought, the copper material required will be doubled. Now the 'Golden Way' is the most important part of the country. If it is -----" He stopped talking about the following words, but everyone understood what he meant. The matter of rat Gu is still there, and the country of E has been hiding evil intentions for a long time. How could he not take this opportunity to cut off the royal army's copper material replenishment channel?

How to make a decision when you are constrained everywhere?

If it was a normal moment, the ministers should all look at the Wang Case and wait for the Zhou Emperor to make the final decision. But at this time, the emperor Ji Hu was still in his prime, so everyone could only look at the huge case under the high king's stairs.

According to Zhao Bohu's usual nature, people thought that he would agree with Rui Liangfu's opinion, but it is rare that Zhao Bohu remained silent during the fierce court debate. What happened to Zhao Gong? The ministers looked at each other, and even Ji Hu often looked at each other's case.

According to his original intention, Zhao Bohu naturally agreed with Rui Liangfu. However, his ideals were full, but the reality was very skinny. The Eighth Division of Chengzhou was no longer able to fight again after losing the battle with Qi. This time, Ji Duoyou went to serve as the general of Chengzhou's Eighth Division, and also wanted to use his military management skills to rebuild this royal army into a kingly army that can pacify the Central Plains and be majestic in the world. However, Duoyou has just been in office for less than two months, so he has to give him one or two years!

If the war begins at this time, once it is defeated, the Eighth Division of Chengzhou will have no chance of turning around and will drag down many friends. Therefore, he could only remain silent and finally ended the court meeting with one sentence: "It is of great importance and needs sufficient discussions in the court."

"What should we do with this matter according to the teacher's opinion?" After the sanchao, Ji Hu couldn't wait to ask Rongyi for advice. Since his trip to the sanchao, he admired his new gentleman very much. After each sanchao, he would throw some difficult problems to him and discuss solutions.

Rong Yi smiled slightly: "This matter is not difficult to explain. What Doctor Rui and Duke Zhou said was out of public intention. It was due to the general trend that was not spoken during the stalemate, and it was difficult to weigh and decide. According to my opinion, the best way to do this is to give up the plan to attack Ji and give all parties a chance to breathe. Lu Ji can marry and join forces, so that Qi State has some concerns; and the Eighth Division of Chengzhou can have time to reorganize the military and horses and improve combat power, this is the best strategy."

"Who doesn't know this?" Ji Hu was quite disappointed and said angrily: "But how could the Duke of Qi Lu Bushan give up attacking Ji? Even Duke Zhou did not work. Can he still listen to others?"

"I would like to give it a try." Rong Yi bowed and said.

"You?" Ji Hu was shocked and suspicious: "How can you tell me that Lu Bushan? Gu remembers that you are not familiar with him?"

"King, the king of a country weighs not human favors, but national interests. As long as the king assists the ministers in planning properly, they will make good arrangements, which will force the Duke of Qi to give up the idea of ​​attacking Ji. If the king does not send out a soldier, he can eliminate the war and stop fighting."

Ji Hu was very surprised: "Sir, please tell me, how can I help you if I need the Lone?"

Rong Yi raised his head and firmly advised: "I am willing to follow the king to go to Luoyi, the eastern capital, to mediate the dispute between Qi and Ji, and to examine the achievements of the new army of Chengzhou Eighth Division."

"Oh?" Ji Hu was a little surprised: "What is the profound meaning of this plan sir?"

Facing Ji Hujing's suspicious eyes, Rong Yi bowed his hand and kowtowed and said, "If the king is willing to tour Luoyi in the east, there will be three major benefits. Can the ministers tell you one by one?"

"Sir, it's okay to talk." Ji Huxu asked.

"The first one, the ancients said, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. If the king wants to become a great monarch as Xianwu and King Mu, he just stays in this hall and reads bamboo slips every day, that would not happen. The king is the lord of my temple in Dazhou, so he should know what the temple is.

A temple is a state official tool. It governs officials and governs all people, and regulates laws and regulations to comfort the country. It governs officials and regulates laws and regulations, but does not know the true management of officials, and does not know the country's livelihood planning. What should we do when encountering danger? The Great Zhou ruled all directions. If the king did not go to the Central Plains in person, how could he understand the people's situation and the actual situation of the vassal states?"
