Linzi City.

The King of Qi sat on the top, his face relaxed.

Since Mengchangjun and Tian Wen were driven away, although Qi State has experienced some purges and small-scale civil strife, all of them have passed.

From now on, the Qi Kingdom will be the King of Qi himself!

This relaxed feeling was clearly reflected when the King of Qi spoke: "Now the King of Qin sent Wei Ran to me, wanting to give me the title of Eastern Emperor to me, so that Qi and Qin would become emperor together. Zhao State also sent an envoy Qiu Ye, hoping to persuade me to attack Qin together. Both the two and the three sons said, how should we make a decision?"

As soon as the problem arises, the palace is a little quiet.

The matter of becoming an emperor is quite sensitive.

The King of Qi waited for a while, and saw that no one spoke, he couldn't help but frown and looked at Xiangbang Lu Li: "Beiping Hou, tell me."

Lu Li was a Duke of Qi, but he once became an official in Qin, served as the young master of Qin and the Hou of Beiping. He had a deep understanding of Qin.

Lu Li seemed confident and stood up and said, "This matter is mainly based on the fact that the king wants to dominate for a long time, or just seek a temporary false reputation."

King Qi said: "How do you say this?"

Lu Li said: "The reason why the King of Qin ordered Wei Ran to come and give the title of Eastern Emperor is really because the King of Qin respects the Great Qi and the King enough? No. The King of Qin's move is just to lure the King of Emperors to make the Great Qi resent the princes in the world by luring the King of Qin to be emperor. Just like King Hui of Wei after the Fengze meeting, he was attacked by the princes. This is a poisonous plan, and the King must not be deceived by Qin."

When the King of Qi heard this, he fell into thinking.

The meeting of Ze was decades ago when the grandfather of the King of Qi, King Wei of Qi, was alive.

At that time, the Wei Kingdom was still the overlord who was powerful in the world. At that time, no one of the princes except Chu Kingdom dared to be king.

As a result, King Hui of Wei was arrogant and summoned more than a dozen princes of all sizes to hold a meeting of Fengze. The first one to claim to be King Xia, angered other countries and was attacked by Qi and Chu.

With the help of military advisor Sun Bin, the general of Qi, Tian Ji, killed the general of Wei, Pang Juan and the prince Wei Shen in the subsequent Battle of Maling, and wiped out all the main force of Wei Wuzhu.

From then on, the hegemony of Wei declined, and Qi stepped on the Wei State to take over and became the hegemony to this day.

With the lessons of King Hui of Wei, King Qi naturally figured it out quickly.

The name of the Eastern Emperor is like the name of the Xia King of King Hui of Wei back then, and it is poisonous.

"Then the Beiping Hou thinks that I should directly reject the title of Eastern Emperor of Qin?" said the King of Qi.

Lu Li shook his head decisively and said, "No, the king should accept it."

King Qi: "???"

You said that the emperor's name is poisonous, so I still have to accept it?

Lu Li smiled and said, "King, since the King of Qin wants to plot against the King, why don't the King just use a plan?"

When the King of Qi heard this, he immediately became interested: "How can I use my plan to make a plan?"

Lu Li said seriously: "Now that Qin and Qi have become emperors, the other princes in the world will definitely worry about it, and regard the Great Qi and Qin as a major problem. Qin has natural dangers with Hangu Pass and Wu Pass, and it is difficult for the princes to conquer, so the Great Qi will become the target of being attacked.

But what if the king soon canceled the imperial title after accepting the imperial title?"

The King of Qi was obviously stunned: "Accept, and then cancel the imperial title? Why did I do this?"

Lu Li said: "Accepting the title of emperor is to make both countries a disaster for the princes in the world. After accepting it, the princes will naturally understand that the Great Qi did not have the intention to become emperor, but Qin State will be all hostile to the princes because of this.

I have heard that Qin State has been ready to attack Hedong County, Wei State. Hedong is adjacent to Jinyang County and Shangdang County of Zhao State, and Zhao State will definitely not be indifferent to this.

In addition to the fact that the king was elected as emperor, it would be easy for the king to persuade Zhao to fight against the Qin army.

At that time, the Great Qi was sitting on the verge of Qin and Zhao, and could take the opportunity to attack Song State. Isn’t that great!”

After hearing this, King Qi realized it.

To proclaim himself emperor first and then cancel the emperor's title seems like a joke, but in the eyes of other princes, it is actually equivalent to Qi's surrender to the princes in the world.

Qin and Qi became emperor, and Qi took the lead in surrendering. Then the hostile gazes of the princes fell on Qin?

This plan...is amazing.

Moreover, Qi and Zhao had just married, and their relationship looked very good. Zhao State now sent envoys to attack Qin. All this was tailor-made for this strategy.

The ideal situation is that Qin and Zhao both fought and suffered losses, and each lost the strength to challenge Qi. Then Qi took the opportunity to annex Song and the national strength was further improved.

By that time, Qi would really command the world, and no one dared not to obey.

King Qi was furious and smiled at Lu Li, saying, "Beijing Hou has made a great plan. I have decided, so let's do it!"

...

Half a month later, Xianyang.

"So, King Qi has accepted the title of Eastern Emperor and has become emperor with me?"

After hearing the news, King Yingji of Qin was in a good mood and looked at Wei Ran, who was sitting in the lower head.

"Marquis Rang's plan is indeed wonderful. The people of Qi have entered my lord!"

Wei Ran also smiled when she heard this.

Although he was temporarily dismissed from prime minister, Wei Ran's status was here and still played an important role in the Qin political arena.

In order to return to the position, it is necessary to make some achievements. Qin Qi's plan to become emperor was Wei Ran's efforts.

Wei Ran said: "King, since the King of Qi has been deceived, Qi will definitely send troops to Song next. The king only needs to send envoys to Zhao and Wei, so that the two countries can join forces with Song to resist Qi's attack."

The King of Qin smiled and nodded, but suddenly said, "But the King of Qi is also a very scheming person. If the King of Qi insists on waiting for me to send troops before he will attack Song State, what if he can do?"

Wei Ran smiled and said, "In the battle of Yique, Han and Wei were already devastated, and their main elites were completely lost, which was far inferior to Song. If the king sent troops, he would have to worry about Zhao. But Zhao might not necessarily send troops in the first place. Secondly, even if Zhao sent troops to aid Wei, would Qin still be afraid of Zhao? With the ability of General Bai Qi, he might not only take Hedong, but also take advantage of the situation to capture Shangdang of Zhao."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qin finally felt relieved and made a decision: "Okay. Since that's the case, let Bai Qili prepare for his troops and attack Hedong next spring!"

After the meeting, Wei Ran sat on the carriage, thinking about something.

After several months of investigation, Wei Ran also understood that it was not Niu Jian who defeated him in the Battle of Shangjun, but actually a surrendered general named Le Yi.

"Is the confidant promoted by the King of Zhao?" Wei Ran sneered: "I heard that King Zhao is quite talented and is a future wise king of Zhao. From this Le Yi alone, King Zhao has such skills to know people."

However, Wei Ran is not a person who can admit defeat so easily.

Wei Ran even looked forward to Zhao's troops to resist the Qin's offensive again.

Zhao State assisted Hedong, and it is very likely that as before, he would send cavalry south to attack Qin State Shangjun.

At that time, I guess Le Yi will appear again, right?

"Le Yi, Le Yi, I am looking forward to fighting you again!"
