Plan

When the king of Zheng State asked him for help, it was really miserable. But with such a large population and such a large territory, how could Zheng State live in such misery?

Duke Qi understood what Luo Yu wanted to say. The reason why the king of Zheng was so miserable was because the land owned by Zheng Guogong was not much. Most of the land belonged to the Gong and Qing clans who were drifting away from the government.

in hand.

So no matter how powerful Zheng Guo is, what does it have to do with the public office?

Naturally, the official offices of the Qi State are not so miserable, but the power of the Qing clan in the Qi State is also very great, especially the power of the Tian family. In some respects, it has exceeded the official offices.

His expression changed several times in a short period of time, clearly revealing his inner emotions.

He is moody and angry, has no government, no opinion, and easily accepts the opinions of others. He is a rather mediocre monarch. In a short period of time, Luo Yu has confirmed all the evaluations of Lu Jing by the Luo Kingdom intelligence agency.

Lu Jing finally understood that Luo Yu was not simply on a diplomatic mission this time, but had come with important matters.

I'm afraid it's another major event that requires the Ji Jiang Alliance to take action!

So he sat upright and said: "Prince, your words are really enlightening and make Gu Ru wake up from his dream.

The two countries have had diplomatic relations for five hundred years. Is there anything we cannot say directly?

Please also teach me!"

Seeing that Lu Jing had corrected his attitude, he was not as resistant as before.

Luo Yu then said in a persuasive manner: "Qi Gong, when I was in Luo State, I once heard that the Tian family used public property to show kindness to the public and the people of the country.

He lent it out in big buckets, but allowed the countrymen to pay back in small buckets, as long as they used their own family assets.

To harm the country's strength and increase one's own reputation is a thief who steals the country.

The thief who stole the hook belt must be killed. Don't you feel hatred for this kind of thief who steals your country?"

In just a few words, Lu Jing seemed to have seen the scene of his being expelled. He sighed and said: "Prince, what you said is really reasonable.

But although Mr. Tian has no great virtues, he has done small favors to the clan and the people of the country. He has not done anything that exceeds the rules. How can Gu do it?

The late monarch once said that the Gongshi is a prince canonized by the Emperor of Zhou, and the Gongshi is protected by the army, which is enough to ensure safety. It is enough to just wait for the Tian family's power to weaken."

After so many years of struggle, the power of the public office has become inferior to that of the Tian family, especially since the Tian family has joined forces with other Qing clans to jointly support the public office.

Fortunately, the office still has an army and the identity of the king, so I'm not too anxious.

As the saying goes, the Tian family cannot always be strong. When he declines, it will be the time for the public office to regain power.

"What you thought of, wouldn't Tian Chang not think of it?"

Luo Yu said with a worried face: "Qi Gong, Tian Chang must have told you that Qi State should be hostile to Luo State now."

Lu Jing was truly surprised this time, "Prince, where did you learn about this?"

Luo Yu sighed and said: "Qi Gong, Tian Chang did not attack the weak Ju State, but attacked the powerful Luo State. This is the essence of Duanmuzi, and he wants to plot against you.

The city of Ju is small, probably not as tall as the ladders of Qi. The population of Ju is very small, and it is probably not as large as the army of Qi. The people of Ju are so poor that they cannot even wear clothes. How can they still have strong armor?

?

For Tian Chang, such a country was too difficult to attack, so he gave up.

The cities of the Luo Kingdom are tall and large, the people of the Luo Kingdom are strong and powerful, and the armors of the Luo Kingdom are piled up in the warehouses, and there is no end to them.

Only such a country can allow Tian Chang to win, so he made you and Luo country hostile!"

These words that went against common sense made Lu Jing's already unclear mind even more confused. However, out of his trust and affection for Luo Yu, he quickly asked: "Prince, I really can't understand what you are saying."

.

The state of Ju is weak but difficult to attack, while the state of Luo is strong but capable of victory. Isn't this completely different from what ordinary people think?"

Luo Yu asked: "Qi Gong, in the Jin Kingdom, there is a hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt every day.

There are two mountains in front of him, one with chickens and the other with tigers. Which mountain do you think he often goes to?"

"Of course it's a mountain with chickens."

Luo Yu said: "Yes, so he can always get prey.

But a powerful warrior told him that tigers will come down the mountain to eat people and snatch chickens that have been beaten, so they must be killed first. He is willing to help. Do you think he will agree?"

"Yes, because he is afraid that tigers will come down the mountain to eat people."

Luo Yu sighed: "Yes, the warrior does not think that the two of them can defeat the tiger.

He just wanted to occupy the Orion's property, but he couldn't defeat the Orion, so he had to use the power of the tiger to achieve his goal.

When the two of them reached the mountain with the tiger, the warrior abandoned him, followed the retreat route they had already found, went down the mountain, returned home and seized the Orion's property and wife."

Lu Jing had already understood what Luo Yu wanted to say. With Luo Yu's language skills and charm, such a mellow narration was really too immersive.

Just listen to Luo Yu say again: "For Tian Chang, attacking a weak country will only strengthen the strength of Qi. He is not Otsuka Zai, and the reputation of opening up new territories will not fall on him. Is this right for him?

Are there any benefits?

How difficult it is to be able to defeat but not be able to defeat!

Your confusion is that you don't understand who is your enemy and who is your ally.

You don’t know who brings Qi’s current main worries, whether they are abroad or at home.

Who do you think is Qi's biggest worry? Who is its biggest enemy?"

Lu Jing could no longer speak, he was just hesitating.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yu knew that he had succeeded, so he said earnestly: "Qi Gong.

The Dongyi people have been wiped out, and Tian Chang tells you that Luo is a worry and enemy of Qi.

But is this really the case?

The Luo State has never cared about the Qi State's land. It's too late to be friendly with such a country, but instead provokes him. Is this rational?

Your ministers have formulated a strategy for you to become an enemy of the Luo Kingdom, because for them, you are the biggest worry!

They want to ensure their power in the country, so weakening the power of the public office is the most important, so they encourage you to become an enemy of the Luo Kingdom.

Think about it, if you become enemies with the Luo Kingdom, you will first lose an ally that has been with you for more than five hundred years.

In this way, Qi's government will lose its greatest support. If an accident occurs to the government's army, which country do you want to flee to?

Because the An clan went on a foreign expedition, all their troops were lost in the war, and they were eventually suppressed and excluded by other great clans, and disappeared silently.

They will definitely drive Qi's army to fight against Luo, and then directly betray the Qi government's army just like they abandoned the An family.

It has only been a few years, have you forgotten such a painful lesson? The willow tree planted by Dr. An Ning in the past is still looking at you in front of the palace gate!"

Luo Yu's words were so emotional that he directly broke through Lu Jing's defense. He seemed to have seen himself in prison, saw the Qi State's office being killed like a dog by Doctor Qing, and saw his queen.

People were starved to death in the palace.

He burst into tears and begged: "Prince!

What you said is so reasonable, it's like a basin of cold water poured directly on my head. I have been deceived by Tian Chang and other traitorous officials for a long time, and I have never been so clear-headed as now. What should I do?

How to avoid this situation?

Please also save the Lu family for the sake of the five-hundred-year blood alliance between Qi and Luo.

Gu is willing to swear in the name of King Haotian Su to continue the friendship between Ji and Jiang forever.

Whether it is attacking the Chu State or respecting the royal family, whenever the Luo State is in need, the Qi State is willing to use all the strength of the country to help!"

Luo Yu's words were so reasonable. They were several levels higher than Tian Chang's lies that day. You didn't even need to think about them at all. The logic behind them was interlocking.

Even if Luo Yu didn't have such a high charm, I'm afraid Qi Gong would believe it directly.

If the Qing clan had usurped the throne, replaced the royal family, or even had the Emperor of Zhou officially ennoble the princes, Lu Jing would probably have to kneel down to Luo Yu.

But even in this situation, Lu Jing felt extremely scared. With the dignity of a duke, he was begging for mercy from Luo Yu, a marquis and prince.

Luo Yu felt at ease and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Qi. Yu is here to save the Qi State. You only need to do this to stabilize the country. Although the losses are a bit heavy, you can stabilize the Qi State."

century."

Luo Yu began to discuss the strategy that he had thought up for a long time with Qi Gong Lu Jing bit by bit. Both parties put all the resources they could invest into each other and gradually enriched Luo Yu's plan.

In fact, it was Luo Yu who was saying that Qi Gong invested everything he had in order to restore the power of Qi Gong's office.

The more the two discussed, the more excited Duke Qi became and said: "Prince, you not only have the most beautiful appearance in the world, but also have superhuman talents.

I really don’t know what kind of flattering words I should use to praise you, Qi will always stand by Luo’s side until the end of destiny.”

Luo Yu raised her palms and said with a smile: "Bang Zhou's destiny is eternal, and the friendship between the Luo family and the Lu family is eternal. We are only willing to work together to defend the Emperor Zhou. This will live up to the glory of our ancestors."

Duke Qi clapped his hands and said: "I swear in the name of King Haotiansu that the Lu family of Qi will always support the Emperor of Zhou. I wish Zhou's destiny to last forever!"

…

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was an era of drastic changes. During the transition from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, due to the structural shortcomings of the feudal system itself and the erosion of time, the monarchy of the countries inevitably moved down to the hands of the officials.

But Luo State is different. Not only does the Gongshi still control the power, but it can even assist its allies. As a result, Qi State survived and the Ji Jiang Alliance continued.

The Zhou royal family continued to maintain the dignity of the emperor without being strengthened or weakened. - "The Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
