"please……"

"please……"

…

As one drink after another drank, the atmosphere between Zhao Wenjun and Zhang Yi gradually became warm.

At this moment, the two people, who were in high spirits, could talk about almost everything, from their first meeting in Anyi City to their trip together in Luoyi City.

From the scenery of various places to the customs of various countries, and even talking about the hottest places, all the princes in the world were criticized by them.

The harmony between the two people ended abruptly because of Zhao Wenjun's next words.

"Although I don't want to admit it, if you count all the princes in the world today, the achievements made by King Wei are indeed the most glorious."

"Perhaps the destiny is really in Wei. I only hope that Zhang Yi can win a high position in the Wei court and live up to your ambition."

After finishing his words, Zhao Wenjun once again raised the wine baron that he had raised countless times and said, "Come, let me drink this baron so that you can be in a high position."

Facing Zhao Wenjun's respect for him, Zhang Yi did not act like that, but sat there silently.

"Originally, I thought that Mr. Zhaowen didn't see the general trend of the world clearly, so he chose to come to see Mr. Zhaowen. Now it seems that I was wrong..."

"Zhao Wenjun, it's not that you didn't see clearly, but you saw it too clearly."

"yes!"

Facing Zhang Yi's somewhat complicated gaze, Zhao Wenjun drank all the wine in his hand, with a rather bitter look on his face.

"I can indeed see clearly, but I just can't understand it all."

"Since King Ping moved eastward, my Zhou family has lost its strength as the lord of the world; after the Battle of Suige, my Zhou family has even lost its majesty as the lord of the world."

"In the following hundreds of years, the princes of various countries conquered each other. My Zhou family seemed to be superior, but in fact it was controlled by the princes in every way."

"Zheng Gong, Qi Hou, Jin Gong, Chu King..."

"Scholars from all over the world have gone to serve the princes one after another. How many of them will come to Luoyi to make suggestions for the emperor and the Zhou Dynasty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank another glass of wine. Zhao Wenjun's tone was full of melancholy, "Zhang Yi, as a close friend, I won't hide anything from you."

"If I were not born in Wang Ji, I would still want to be an official for a country and fulfill my ambition in the Zhou Dynasty."

"But who made my father the Duke of the Zhou Dynasty, and who gave me the task of assisting the Zhou Dynasty at birth?"

Looking at the helpless figure in front of him, Zhang Yi was speechless for a moment.

Being born a prince may be a kind of luck, but in this troubled times when the Zhou Dynasty is declining and the princes are becoming powerful, isn't it another kind of sadness?

The words accumulated in his chest stopped, and the thoughts that appeared in his mind disappeared. Zhang Yi just silently raised the wine cup in his hand.

"Brother Ji, please!"

In sharp contrast to the previous warm relationship, it was the deserted relationship between the two.

No more lofty speeches, only silence and the endless drinking of wine.

I don't know how much time passed, but Zhao Wenjun boarded the carriage again to the capital of Lu State, and the expression on his face gradually returned to calm.

Before leaving, he turned to look at his best friend behind him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I hope Zhang Yi's name can remain in the history of history."

"Zhang Yi, you and I will see you later!"

Looking at the figure gradually disappearing on the horizon, Zhang Yi bowed deeply and could only silently wish his best friend a safe and sound journey.

"Goodbye!"

…

After bidding farewell to his close friend Zhao Wenjun, Zhang Yi rode all the way to Daliang City, where there was also a person waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yi, pays homage to the Prime Minister."

Putting down the slip in his hand, Wei Xianggong Sun Qi's eyes slowly fell on Zhang Yi, "If I guess correctly, you really returned without success this time, right?"

"Exactly, Zhao Wenjun has made up his mind, and Zhang Yi can't convince him with just a few words."

After saying this, Zhang Yi told Gongsun Qi roughly about his conversation with Zhao Wenjun.

After a long time, Gongsun Qi nodded gently, "You know you can't do something, but you do it anyway, Lord Zhaowen..."

"What a pity!" After expressing his regret for Zhaowenjun, Gongsun Qi's eyes returned to Zhang Yi, "Zhaowenjun, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Our top priority in the Wei Dynasty is still the Duke of Song and the two monarchs of Qihou.

superior."

"You went to Qi State last time and successfully persuaded the Marquis of Qi to surrender to our great Wei Dynasty. It was indeed a great achievement."

"Don't worry, I, the Wei Dynasty, always reward you for your merits. When this matter is over, the king will definitely not forget your achievements."

Hearing what Gongsun Qi said, the depression in Zhang Yi's heart dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I would like to thank you, Prime Minister."

"It doesn't have to be like this." He helped Zhang Yi, who was bowing down, to stand up. Gongsun Qi's face was filled with admiration, "Now that the Marquis of Qi has arrived in Puyang, Wei State, I would like to trouble you to meet up with the rhinoceros head. Be sure to make sure

Qi Hou’s trip is going well.”

"Zhang Yi will definitely live up to the great trust of the Prime Minister."

After saying this, Zhang Yi, who came in a hurry, left here in a hurry and turned to the northeast of Weiguo Puyang.

At the same time that Zhang Yi was riding his horse and leaving Daliang City, a waiter appeared in front of Gongsun Qi.

"Report to the Prime Minister, Song Gong asks for an audience."

"Please!"

…

The Duke of Song and the Marquis of Qi are jointly meeting the King of Wei this time. As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately attracted the attention of many knowledgeable people in the world.

A battle between Wei and Qi ended with Wei's overall victory. People of insight in the world had a deeper understanding of Wei's power.

And the court meeting that followed made people of insight in the world foresee that the Wei State might replace the previous dynasty and become the true master of the world, just like the Zhou Dynasty did more than 700 years ago.

This time it is no longer about aspiration for the title of Luoshui, but about becoming a reality step by step.

Especially after the Wei State sent troops to the royal city of Luoyi and expelled the Duke of Western Zhou, people of insight in the world paid more and more attention to the progress of this matter.

Under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes in the world, the day of the meeting finally arrived.

On this day, on the wall of the royal city east of the Xianshui River, red flags were still flying high, but the original Zhou on the flags was replaced by Wei.

Wearing the imperial robe of a prince, Wei Feng was sitting on the throne. At this moment, his left hand was firmly holding the sword at his waist.

Below Wei Feng, the Wei courtiers led by Prime Minister Gongsun Qi were lined up on both sides. They were silently waiting for the time to come.

Wei Feng's eyes slowly swept across the courtiers below, and finally his eyes aligned with Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, who was standing at the front of the courtiers.

Although there was no verbal communication, the two of them had formed a different kind of tacit understanding over the years.

"Woo..."

"Woo..."

"Woo..."

A long horn sounded outside the hall, announcing that the meeting had officially begun.
Chapter completed!
