Chapter 173 The person holding the pole

Just when Zhao, Han, Qi, Qin and other princes arrived in Pinglu one after another, Wei Hou Wei Feng had also arrived from the capital city of Anyi to Daliang, an important town in the eastern part of Wei State.

For the city of Daliang, Wei Feng did not feel unfamiliar at all. On the contrary, he was very familiar with it.

After all, in addition to living in Anyi for more than thirty years in his previous life, Wei Feng often lived in Daliang, a more well-known capital, for the remaining forty years.

In Daliang, Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, had a highlight moment when he accepted the audience of twelve princes including Lu and Song;

In Daliang, Wei Feng, who was the Marquis of Wei, also experienced the helplessness of gradually ending his life. He saw his Wei State gradually become a second-rate country in the Warring States Period from the most powerful country in the world.

All in all, when it comes to Wei Feng, the third monarch of the Wei Kingdom, Daliang may be more familiar to people than Anyi.

Even the great Confucian Mencius and his disciples who later arrived in the Wei Kingdom called King Hui of Wei King Hui of Liang in the book "Mencius". This is enough to show that Daliang had a different significance to Wei Feng in his previous life.

Although the resurrected Wei Feng has temporarily given up his original eastward strategy, it is unlikely that the Wei State today will move its capital from Anyi to Daliang like in the previous life;

However, when he returned to his old place in his previous life, when scenes of familiar scenery came into view, Wei Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

With this sigh for his past life and Daliang, Wei Feng's life here has felt a different kind of comfort in the past few months.

It feels as if a galloping horse has arrived at its own grassland, a nimble fish has jumped into the vast river and sea, and a soaring eagle is overlooking the earth beneath its feet.

For example, at this moment, Wei Hou Wei Feng, who had already finished handling the somewhat busy government affairs, sat alone by the bank of a lake that was neither too big nor too small.

The fishing rod he held in his hand and the way he looked forward from time to time made the people standing by the side have some doubts. Can Wei Hou gain something today?

But just when the eunuch standing by was doubtful, the fishing rod in Wei Feng's hand moved slightly.

After noticing this scene, the eunuch immediately stepped forward slowly and lowered his voice to remind: "Your Majesty, you have taken the bait."

"I know."

Listening to the reminder ringing in his ears, he also felt the force coming from his hand, but the expression on Wei Feng's face did not change too drastically because of the fish taking the bait.

There was a bit of solemnity in his eyes as he looked forward, and his hands holding the fishing rod gradually gained strength. Wei Feng, who seemed relaxed just now, was now in a serious state.

Wei Feng, who was well versed in fishing, did not immediately retract the thrown fishing line. Feeling the considerable force coming from the fishing rod, he chose to relax a little.

After a while, when he felt that the force coming from the fishing rod had weakened, he increased his backward force a little more.

When strong, it becomes loose, when weak, it tightens. Wei Feng just used the fishing rod in his hand to engage in a repeated game with the fish under the lake in front of him.

This was a contest of strength, but also a game of wisdom. When the winner was announced a moment later, all the suspense turned into a cheer.

"Your Majesty, look, it's a big fish."

Looking at the not-so-small fish in front of him, and hearing the excited cheers from the eunuchs in his ears, Wei Feng gently put down the fishing rod in his hand.

"Yes, it's a big fish." After complimenting him, Wei Feng looked at the eunuch holding the big fish and said with a smile: "Send this big fish to the kitchen, and I will eat it today."

"Here."

After receiving the order from Wei Feng, the eunuch immediately put the big fish in his arms into the water-filled wooden bucket that had been prepared aside, and then quickly disappeared from Wei Feng's sight while carrying the wooden bucket.

.

When Wei Feng turned around and sat back down in his original position, a report sounded in his ears.

"I would like to report to your Majesty, Prime Minister, and Sima to see you."

At the same time as the eunuch's report sounded, the fishing rod in Wei Feng's hand was thrown out again, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Please."

"Here."

So after a few breaths, Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo and Sima Gongsun Qi followed the eunuch's footsteps and saw Wei Feng who was fishing by the lake.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Cuo, I would like to pay my respects to you."

"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."

"You two don't need to be polite." After giving a slight gesture of support, Wei Feng's eyes swept over the two prepared fishing positions beside him, "Sit down and let's go fishing with the others."

Facing the invitation proposed by Wei Feng, Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi looked at each other, and then bowed forward together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the two voices finished speaking, and each took a seat next to Wei Feng, the two of them quickly swung their fishing rods towards the lake in front of them.

From the very familiar actions of the two people, it is not difficult to see that this is not the first time that the three of them have been like this.

When the fishhook slowly fell under the water's surface, and when the ripples on the water's surface gradually dissipated, Gongshu Cuo withdrew his gaze from the front.

At the same time, a voice of report faintly emerged among the three of them, "Your Majesty Qi, the kings of Zhao, South Korea, Qin, and Qi have all arrived at Pinglu."

"The only princes who have not arrived yet are your Majesty and the King of Chu who is still on the way to the south."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's words, Wei Feng stared at the water in front of him and nodded gently.

Wei Feng was not surprised at the delay of King Chu's arrival, or it could be said that he had expected this from the beginning.

The king of Chu who was dissatisfied with the Zhou Dynasty was the first among the princes in the world to claim the title of king. King Zhuang of Chu who came to the Zhou Dynasty once left a legend about his aspiration for the throne. The main theme of the entire Spring and Autumn Period was the century-long struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.

.

The Chu State located in the south has a powerful force that is not weaker than that of the northern princes. As the king of the Chu State, the King of Chu has his own pride. This is why the Chu King Xiong Liangfu will choose to slow down this time.

As for whether Chu King Xiong Liangfu's late arrival was intentional or unintentional, Wei Feng laughed it off and soon turned his attention to the princes who had already arrived.

"What do the princes who have arrived think of this Pinglu meeting?"

"Your Majesty, the plans of the Lu, Song, and Wei families who arrived first can be said to be very clear. They clearly want to cut off a piece of flesh from the Qi State."

"As for our allies of Wei, South Korea and Zhao, I think their goals this time are different. South Korea should be interested in the territory of Qin in the west, while Zhao is more interested in Qi in the east.

.”

After analyzing the countries that were Wei's allies this time, Gongshu Cuo's words quickly turned to the other two countries that had already arrived.

"Qin State and Qi State..."

After a pause in his words, a coldness suddenly appeared on Gongshu Cuo's face, and his voice of report could not help but lowered a bit.

"The day before yesterday, Qi Gong invited Qin Gong to the Qi camp. It is still unknown what the specific discussions were."
