Chapter 185: Climb the high platform

Outside Pinglu City, a high platform built specifically for the alliance stood quietly. Under the high platform stood groups of soldiers from various countries wearing armor.

"Woo..."

Along with a long trumpet sound, the eyes of these soldiers from various countries were full of solemnity, and their right hands tightly grasped the halberds in their hands.

Just as the actions of these soldiers added a sense of solemnity to the entire alliance venue, several figures wearing princely robes slowly appeared under the high platform.

They are the protagonists of today's alliance of princes, and they are also indispensable characters on the stage of the world's turbulent gathering.

Zhao State is located in the north, Qin State comes from the west, Chu State dominates the south, Qi State is on the coast of the East China Sea, and Wei State and South Korea are located in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, which are talked about by future generations, have reached six of them today, except for the Yan State, which has always had little contact with the outside world.

Coupled with the fact that the Song Dynasty also made a mark on the stage of the Warring States Period, today's gathering of princes can truly be regarded as a gathering of heroes.

Of course, how could such an important occasion be missing the Zhou royal family, which was actually insignificant but full of symbolic significance?

The young figure standing under the high platform at this moment is none other than the envoy sent by the Zhou royal family this time, Duke Ji Gen of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Looking at this familiar figure in his field of vision, Wei Feng, who was walking in front of the princes, had a smile on his face.

"It turns out that an old friend has arrived." After he gently stepped forward and bowed, Wei Feng said, "I haven't seen him for several years, but the Duke of Eastern Zhou is even more elegant than before."

"The Marquis of Wei is overly praised, but compared with me, I am far inferior to the Marquis of Wei."

"In the past year, the Marquis of Wei has led the Wei State to win consecutive battles on the battlefield, and his reputation can be said to be spread throughout the world."

After some soft praises, Ji Gen immediately whispered the reason for his visit, "This time, I have been ordered by the emperor to congratulate the Marquis of Wei."

Although he said he was here to congratulate Wei Feng, the look of reluctance in Ji Gen's eyes still showed his true thoughts at the moment.

In fact, as a Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, how could Ji Gen be sincerely willing to come and congratulate Wei, the current overlord of the world?

We must know that every time the overlord of the world becomes stronger, Emperor Zhou, the current co-owner of the world, will become weaker. This is definitely not what Ji Gen, who represents the interests of the Zhou royal family, wants to see.

But what if there are all sorts of reluctances in my heart?

The current situation in the world and the strength of the Zhou royal family did not allow Ji Gen to make any other choice.

If one is not careful, what awaits the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty may be the front line of the Wei army, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty may even change its master.

After all, just a few years ago, Wei, Zhao and South Korea united to push Ji Gen to the throne of the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Since you can push him up, you can naturally pull him down.

Some people may say that the Zhou royal family could have remained silent and used silence to express its attitude toward the princes of Wei.

This is indeed a choice, but it is an extremely wrong choice.

Even if some situations are not good for you, you have to not be present, because only when you are present can you be qualified to participate.

If such an important occasion fails to come once or twice, the princes may still remember the existence of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty;

If he fails to come three, four or even more times, then the princes will intentionally or unintentionally forget about the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty who is located in the royal territory on the north bank of Luoshui River.

After hundreds of years of decline, the strength of the Zhou emperor has long been different from what it was back then;

The division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty several decades ago even reduced the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty. If the Zhou Dynasty is gradually forgotten by the princes, the Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed soon.

In the original time and space, why the last Zhou emperor wanted to recruit troops to conquer Qin even at the risk of high debts was because he had undoubtedly seen the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty before his eyes.

Again, there are some things that you can’t just not do if you don’t want to do them. The situation is stronger than the person.

Let us return our gaze to the high platform of the alliance. Listening to the conversation between Ji Gen and Wei Feng, who are the envoys of Emperor Zhou, the expressions on the faces of the princes behind him are different.

The faces of the three kings of Lu, Song, and Wei were filled with joy, while the faces of the two kings of Zhao and South Korea were filled with envy.

As for Qi and Qin, who were Wei's rivals in this battle, and Chu, who was vaguely at odds with Wei, the expressions on the faces of these three princes were somewhat meaningful.

Although the authority of the Emperor Zhou can be said to have been greatly reduced, he is still the nominal overlord after all.

At this moment, under the high platform outside Pinglu City, Ji Gen, who was the envoy of Emperor Zhou, personally expressed his congratulations to the Marquis of Wei.

Watching the scenes happening in their sight, the posthumous titles slowly appeared in the minds of King Chu, Duke Qin and Duke Qi.

Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Xiang of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu...

They have all made alliances with the princes many times, they have all been praised by the emperor, and they have all been the overlords of the world.

If you think about it carefully, the reputation of the Wei Marquis Wei Feng in front of you is not far behind the above three.

Looking quietly at the figure in front of him who was talking to Ji Gen, Xiong Liangfu, Ying Shixi and Tian Wu looked at each other, and a touch of fear appeared in the eyes of the three people.

The conversation between Wei Feng and Ji Gen continued for a long time. It was not until two smiles appeared on their faces that Wei Feng returned to the ranks of the princes.

"The alliance ceremony begins..."

"Woo..."

A few breaths later, accompanied by a loud shout from Duke Ji Gen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the long sound of the trumpet sounded again, Wei Feng led a group of princes behind him and walked slowly towards the high platform in front of him.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Wei Feng's pace was still as steady as before, but it was a little more vigorous than before.

Every step he takes feels like a prehistoric beast stepping forward, and his figure is full of majesty.

When the last steps slowly climbed up the stairs to the highest level of the platform, Wei Feng's figure moved quickly, but his eyes suddenly looked down.

First, the princes following behind him came into his sight, then there were groups of elites from various countries wearing various colored armors, and then there was an endless plain.

A burst of heroic spirit emerged in his chest, a firm look appeared in Wei Feng's eyes, and his hands were clasped together tightly at this moment.

In the past battles, he has led the Wei State to defeat the four powerful countries in the world: Zhao State, South Korea, Qi State, and Qin State.

The earth eases.

Compared with the previous life in my memory, the current situation in the world has undergone almost earth-shaking changes.

The road ahead is long, where can Wei go, and whether it can escape the fate of decline in its previous life.

The answers to all questions must be decided by Wei Feng, the chariot driver of Wei State.

Slowly letting go of his hands, a look of confidence flashed in his eyes, and Wei Feng strode towards the center of the high platform with his head held high.
