Chapter 122 Zhao Qi Gaotang Alliance
In this era, alliances are very common.
However, it is very rare to take your wife to join us.
Zhao He is on the way to the alliance.
Zhao He sat above the king's carriage, his face was very gentle.
"Queen, are you tired?"
The one sitting next to Zhao He was naturally the Queen of Zhao, who was as young as Zhao He.
It seemed that he was not very comfortable with this public concern in public. The queen lowered her head slightly, and two whispers visible to the naked eye appeared on her cheeks.
"Little, little boy is fine, thank you for your concern."
Zhao He smiled and pointed to the surging river in front of him: "Queen, after crossing this river, it will be your territory of Qi."
The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "The little boy thinks that the king's words are inappropriate."
Zhao He was a little surprised: "Where is inappropriate?"
The queen mustered up the courage, looked up at Zhao He, and whispered: "The place under her feet is the place of Zhao where the little boy belongs."
Zhao He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"What the queen said is very true!"
King Qi was moving very quickly.
When he learned that Zhao State suddenly sent troops to attack Yiqu, the overjoyed King Qi immediately sent Su Qin to Handan, hoping to join the alliance with Zhao State.
In the early days of the Warring States Period, there was a widely circulated saying.
This sentence is called "The Three Jin Dynasties are united and the world is invincible."
In the early Warring States Period, the three Jin dynasties, which had just split up, were still quite close.
Headed by Wei, ruled by Wei Wenhou Weis, Han and Zhao, as their younger brothers, the Three Jins repeatedly attacked, facing Qi in the east, Qin in the west, and Chu in the south, both achieved major victories.
As a result, the Wei State also laid a foundation for nearly a hundred years of hegemony.
But after the death of Wenhou, Wei Wuhou began to get into evil with Han and Zhao. King Hui of Wei completely turned against him because of the throne, allowing Qi, ruled by King Wei of Qi in the east, to take advantage of the situation. He fought a battle of Guiling to siege Wei to save Zhao, and a battle of Maling to relied on the war between Wei and Han.
After winning the two battles, the Wei State betrayed their relatives and their general Pang Juan died in battle. The national strength declined greatly in internal and external difficulties and became a second-rate country.
Qi State officially stepped on the body of the overlord of Wei State and became a new generation of overlords.
It is coincidental that the State of Wei began to dominate the country from Wei Wenhou, and then experienced the decline of Wei Wuhou to King Hui of Wei, which happened to be the last three generations.
The State of Qi began to dominate King Wei of Qi, and then went through King Xuan of Qi to the current King of Qi, which happened to be the third generation!
One of the important reasons why Wei went from being invincible in the world to being knocked down was that it lost the support of Han and Zhao, who were also the Three Jins.
When the Three Jins reunited, even the State of Qi, as the hegemony of the world, must be treated with caution.
At this moment, the queen's words came to Zhao He's ears: "Does the king need the little boy to do something this time?"
Zhao He withdrew his thoughts and smiled at the queen, "Queen, this time you just take it as you go back to your parents' home and just relax. You don't need to worry about other things, I will naturally solve them."
Zhao He really doesn't need the queen to do anything, he just wants to take his wife to see his father-in-law.
After all, Qi now needs to make a good match for Zhao, and it is not Zhao who begs Qi!
In this era, unless there are extremely major changes in political marriages like the queen, it will never be possible to return to her parents' home in her life.
As a modern person, Zhao He thinks this is indeed a bit inhumane.
As for some objections that are not etiquette, it is not without them, but Zhao He waved his hand and said that he farted.
The most important thing is to be happy with your wife.
Why do I need to explain to you and other slaps in my life?
As for free love...
I looked at the beautiful face of the queen in front of me, savored the pleasant private life of the past, and then thought about what the queen had just said.
Zhao He thinks that it is good to arrange a marriage!
Under the escort of 10,000 troops led by Le Yi, Zhao He's king's chariot crossed two Yellow Rivers, crossed Hejiandi, and came to Gaotang City among the five capitals of Qi.
Here, King Tiandi of Qi had been waiting for many ministers of Qi State.
When the father-in-law and son-in-law met, both of them had smiles like spring breeze on their faces.
"King of Qi!" Zhao He led the ministers of Zhao State to salute to King Qi.
"King of Zhao!" King Qi led all the ministers of Qi to return the favor to Zhao He.
Zhao He stood up straight and then bowed again: "Zhao He has met his uncle."
The uncle is the father-in-law.
The King of Qi was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, received Zhao He's gift, and then stepped forward and helped Zhao He up with his own hands.
"The son-in-law doesn't have to be too polite. Let's go and follow me."
That night, an extremely grand and warm welcome dinner was held in the palace in Gaotang City.
Zhao He and King Qi delivered speeches in public.
Zhao He believes that at present, both Zhao and Qi are in an important historical stage of national development. Under the current circumstances, the two sides should deepen their relationship, which is not only to safeguard the interests of Zhao and Qi, but also to defend the basic Chinese morality and safeguard the security of all vassal states in China.
The King of Qi believed that Zhao and Qi were friendly allies, and it could be seen in the struggle between the joint fight against the hegemonic countries such as Wei and Chu that the friendship between the two countries was a long history. Nowadays, the international situation is changing, and the alliance between countries is very frequent. Qi and Zhao, as in-laws, must be closely linked together.
Zhao He pointed out that the King of Qi was my uncle. In this regard, Qi and Zhao were one family. The family should not speak two families. The state of Qi believed that the territorial demand of the State of Song was very reasonable and legitimate. The state of Qi's conquest of Song represented the morality of China and was in line with the rules of the framework of the princes of China. Zhao was willing to support Qi's act of attacking Song.
The King of Qi expressed his strong agreement with Zhao He's opinion.
The King of Qi believed that the saying "A family should not speak two families" by King Zhao was really deeply loved by me. For many years, Qi, as the eldest brother, has been leading the Zhao State forward. Now Zhao State knows how to repay the eldest brother, which makes the eldest brother very happy. After all, the Queen Zhao is my daughter. I believe that it is very appropriate to give the Queen Zhao seven Hejian cities to the Queen as a raising town, and it is also the responsibility I should fulfill as a father.
Zhao He highly praised the decision of King Qi and stated on the spot that the ally relations between Qi and Zhao were unbreakable and indestructible, and would not be affected by the tricks and rumors imposed by certain countries in the West or the South.
Under the witness of the congregation, Zhao He and King Qi signed a covenant in public and made a bloody alliance.
Under the steps, Xinqi touched Fei Yi gently and whispered: "The king is getting more and more calm now."
Fei Yi smiled and nodded slightly.
