Because of the conversation between Wei Marquis Wei Feng and Prime Minister Gongsun Qi in Anyi City, the machine of Wei State immediately began to operate at high speed.

The Wei envoys who appeared in the capitals of various countries immediately attracted the attention of the princes, and also brought back a bit of tension in the atmosphere that had returned to calm due to the end of the war.

That is to say, when all the princes in the world were speculating on Wei's intentions, Wei Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi arrived at Handan, the capital of Zhao.

Regarding Gongsun Qi's arrival in Handan this time, Zhao's response was quicker than that of Wei envoy Xu Yan, who had just left Handan not long ago.

Who allowed Gongsun Qi to be the prime minister of the state, while Xu Yan was only a senior official in the state of Wei?

Almost immediately after Wei travelers introduced Gongsun Qi into the tavern, an uninvited guest appeared outside his door.

"Knock knock knock..."

Rhythmic knocking sounded in the building, and not long after, a waiter poked his head out from behind the door.

Looking at the two figures, an old man and a young man, outside the door, a question suddenly appeared on the waiter's face, "Who are you two?"

Hearing the waiter's inquiry, the old figure slowly stepped forward and said, "We heard that Prime Minister Wei had arrived in Handan, so we came here to pay a visit."

Gong and Zhongle had just explained their intentions when they heard a somewhat cheerful laughter coming from the door behind them.

"How can you not see a distinguished guest when you come to visit us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps, and then Gongsun Qi, dressed in red robes, came to the two of them.

"Gongsun Qi, I have met Mr. Zhao, Prime Minister. I failed to go out to greet you. Please don't blame Gongsun Qi for being rude."

"Gong Zhongle (Zhao Yu) has met the Prime Minister of Wei."

After greeting each other, Gong Zhongle looked a little apologetic when he looked at Gongsun Qi, who was obviously a little hasty.

"Prime Minister Wei made serious remarks. It was me and I who came here without permission and disturbed Prime Minister Wei's rest. How dare we talk about blaming him?"

Birds of a feather flock together.

As the prime ministers of Wei and Zhao, Gongsun Qi and Gong Zhongle were naturally talented people, and they became close friends because of each other's talents.

After not seeing each other for many years, they met again. Gongsun Qi and Gong Zhongle had a very congenial conversation.

After a while, Gongsun Qi welcomed Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu into the room with a smile, and with another excuse, the three of them sat down at their respective seats.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Yu's eyes connected with Gong Zhongle's above, and a silent communication was carried out quietly between the two.

Speaking of the purpose of Gong Zhongle's visit today, it was not just to visit an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time, as we had just talked about.

If Gongsun Qi and Gong Zhongle are just ordinary people, then this reason is still possible, but don't forget that these two people are prime ministers of their respective countries, and such reasons are just polite words.

Gongsun Qi, who also understood this, looked at Gong Zhongle who was communicating with his eyes, and asked softly with a smile: "I wonder, Prime Minister Zhao, why did you come today?"

"This is also what I want to ask Prime Minister Wei."

The kind look on his face was still there, but Gong Zhongle's eyes were full of doubts, "Now that the war has just ended, most of the princes in the world are recuperating. I wonder how Prime Minister Wei arrived in Handan at this time?"

Gong Zhongle's eyes changed from doubt to inquiry, while Gongsun Qi, who was sitting opposite, got straight to the point, "I came to Handan this time for only one thing, and that is to invite Zhao, Wei, and South Korea to become kings together."

"Prince Xiang!"

Gongsun Qi revealed the purpose of his trip to Handan, but Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu were shocked.

In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.

In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the authority held by Emperor Zhou in the entire world was almost unshakable by anyone.

Anyone like King Xu Yan of the Xu Kingdom who dared to overstep his bounds and become king would immediately suffer a violent blow from the Zhou royal family.

Although the authority of the Zhou royal family has declined to the extreme over the past hundreds of years, and Chu, Wu, and Yue have all successively claimed the title of king, the princes in the Central Plains have never proposed to claim the title of king.

Now the most powerful state in the world, Wei, proposes the proposal of the Prime Minister of the Three Jin Dynasties. How can Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu not be shocked from the bottom of their hearts?

"Well, it's King Xiang."

Facing the surprised expressions on their faces, Gongsun Qi immediately nodded, "Looking at today's world, if we talk about powerful countries, it's just the state of Chu and our three Jins. I wonder what Prime Minister Zhao and the Young Master think?"

Gongsun Qi's question made Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu on the opposite side fall into thinking. After looking at each other again, they nodded in unison.

If it were before this war, then Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu would have added the state of Chu in their hearts, and on the basis of the three Jins, they would have added Qin and Qi.

However, after a great war, Qin lost most of the land in Guanzhong, and Qi lost all the land north of Jishui. In this way, the two countries lost their qualifications to be on par with Chu and Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Seeing the reactions of Gong Zhongle and Zhao Yu, Gongsun Qi continued: "The Kingdom of Chu already claimed the title of king hundreds of years ago. Even the countries of Yue, Shu, and Ba, which were not as powerful as the Chu Kingdom, also claimed the title of king.

king."

"If the name is not right, the words will not be right. This time our three Jins have a great victory over Chu and Qi. It is time for us to take this opportunity to become the king and show it to the world."

After listening to Gongsun Qi's words, Gong Zhongle was still thinking. Zhao Yu, who had been silent for a long time, stood up excitedly.

"Xiang Wei, what you said is absolutely true. Now is a good opportunity for me, the Prime Minister of the Three Jin Dynasties."

…

"boom……"

In the palace of Yingdu, Chu State, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu slapped the silk book in his hand heavily on the table in front of him, and a loud noise immediately filled the entire hall.

"Okay, okay!"

"Wei, Zhao, and South Korea actually want to be the prime minister!"

Xiong Liangfu's angry roars lingered in the ears of all the courtiers of the Chu Kingdom, making the entire hall so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Among the princes in the world, Chu can be said to have become king relatively early.

In the past, the Chu State followed King Wu to conquer the Shang Dynasty, but was despised because of its remote location and was not even awarded a title.

It was not until King Zhou Cheng succeeded to the throne that Chu was granted the title of Viscount, and was not even qualified to participate in the banquet of Emperor Zhou.

Because of this, the Chu State was angry with the Zhou Dynasty. Not only did the Chu people leave a saying that they were dissatisfied with the Zhou Dynasty, but they also took the lead in arrogating the throne during the Spring and Autumn Period.

In fact, the Chu State did not attach as much importance to the title of king of another country as the Emperor of Zhou did. Otherwise, there would be no kingdoms adjacent to the Chu State such as Wu, Yue, Shu, and Ba.

However, this time the Prime Minister of the Three Jin Dynasties chose to win over Chu Qi, which clearly means that the Three Jin Dynasties ascended to the throne by stepping on the Chu State.

Not only that, Chu State was also dissatisfied with certain countries among the Three Jins becoming kings.

You said that the Wei State is the most powerful country in the world and can naturally be crowned king. The Zhao State defeated Qi State in a great war and is also qualified to be crowned the king.

However, Han, who had no record of success, wanted to be king this time. This made Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, feel angry in his heart that you are someone who can become king like me.

"Please, Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down your anger. How can I calm down my anger?"

Expressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Xiong Liangfu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "The Prime Minister of the Three Jin Dynasties, huh, I wonder if you are welcome to come and have a look?"
