The following summer.

The princes arrived in Luoyi and worshiped the emperor. The Zhou royal family, which was originally regarded as nothing and was insulted to say that your mother was a maid, was once again tributed by the princes because of the rise of the Mo family.

However, the princes had already exhausted the emperor's authority, and now the temporary tribute is obviously not enough to bring the world back.

King Xi of Zhou could not have known that if the rise of the Mo family had given him value in exploitation, his funeral would have become the most tragic of the Zhou emperors. It was a pity that the princes would point their noses at the nose and call the bitch.

At this moment, he was immersed in the pleasure of the princes coming to the court.

He understood that he was just an image of god, but at least he was still needed now.

He was not qualified to participate in everything the princes had to discuss.

In the battle of Xihe, Qin soldiers came to Hangu. If they wanted to work together to fight against the Mo family, the matter of Xihe would have to be resolved.

When the Yanhou came, he looked confused about the dangers faced by the princes of the Central Plains. Yan did not want to work hard, nor did he want to work with Zhao to attack Gaoliu. Yan was also a small country, weak and powerless. Even Zhongshan felt that Yan was easy to bully, and Yan did not want to wade into the muddy waters.

Wei Ji had been unable to recover after he was seriously ill. The one who sent him to see the emperor was Prince Yu. This was another extremely difficult situation. Prince Yu stayed in Anyi. If Prince Yu gave up on Xihe, then once Wei Ji died of illness, Prince Yu would have to cause chaos.

South Korea and the Mo family made peace alone, and took in many vassal princes and fleeing princes of Chu. After rebelling against Mo, whether to support the restoration of Chu or swallow up part of the land of Chu, this is also the funeral that the princes of various countries are worried about.

The Mo family naturally would not come to pay homage to the Zhou emperor, because the Mo family believed that the king's land under the world was wrong, and the land should belong to the people of the world, and the emperor just secretly occupied the land that should belong to the people of the world, which was not in line with the morality of the Mo family.

This time, Zhongshan Kingdom also came to pay tribute to him, hoping to get the title of king and ask for the title of marquis, but asked the princes to be an alliance and asked Zhao State not to continue to conquer.

Zhao State believed that more land and benefits were needed. After all, even if Zhao State sent troops, it would not be able to obtain the land on Si and Chu State. It was even more impossible to create an enclave thousands of miles apart. Zhao State wanted Yecheng and Fanyang to improve the situation where Handan City was under the surveillance of the important towns of Wei State.

These problems could not be solved by the Emperor Zhou.

He is now just the hegemonic leader of the Xia vassal system, but not the secular power leader. His existence only gives the legal principles of rule by the princes, but it is impossible to order the princes.

The envoys of princes from various countries gathered in Luoyi, and for each other's interests, they went back and forth, tried each other, formed secret alliances, and rebelled openly.

But this kind of situation of going back and forth requires strength to support it to balance it, and requires general trend feedback to reach the negotiation.

The biggest ones on the card are Qin and Zhao.

Qin said that if the Xihe issue cannot be solved, then Qin would not send troops to fight with the Mo family. At worst, it would be possible to close the door and use Weiluo as a pond, Huashan as a city, and Qinling as a fort, and watch the princes disappear.

Although Qin will also die, Qin will definitely be the last one.

Therefore, Qin State attacked Hangu Pass, but also required all the land west of the Yellow River and south of the water. Otherwise, Qin State would transfer the troops from Shangluo to the north, make peace with the Mo family, and continue to attack Wei.

Mr. Wei argued with reason and said that Xihe was obtained by the Marquis Wen. If he sent Xihe out, he would be unfilial. Moreover, he was not Weihou, and Weihou was Wei Ji. As a son, he could not let his father bear the infamy of being unfilial.

Qin State told Mr. Wei seriously that it was meaningless to say that these righteousness and filial piety were meaningless, and they only said that they were real and profitable.

If you, Wei, have the ability to defend Xihe, then you will not come to see me, Qin people today; if you, Wei, can defeat the Mo family, which has deep resentment with Wei, then I think that if you, Xihe, will be with these words, and you will definitely leave.

However, you can't do it, so you are not qualified to bargain. Either, cut the Western border to Hangu; or, Qin State withdraws from this alliance.

After the Qin and Wei had huge differences on the Xihe issue, Qin immediately informed Qi and South Korea.

When Qi and South Korea heard this, they became anxious.

Wei is already a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. However, with Han Qi, the country of Qi, faces great threat from the Mo family. If Wei does not cut off the Xihe River and Qin does not send troops, how can you fight this battle?

Now the Mo family has soldiered in Wancheng, occupying Luyang, more than a hundred miles away from Han Capital, and the elite troops can arrive in a few days. Without the Qin army, there is no one on the western front to stop the Mo family. At that time, South Korea will face a great threat.

Qi State directly released the wind. If your young master did not sign this peace agreement, then we would support your young master. Wei Ji's son is not the only one. If you don't sell the country, someone will rush to sell the country.

Not only will we sign this, but Qi will also need to return to Linqiu and Chengyang in the future. If Wei does not agree, Qi will also withdraw from this alliance, make peace with the Mo family, unite with Han, Zhao and Qin, and become Wei first to avenge the Three Jins' attack on Qi.

That night, Mr. Wei slowly covered the bed with his face and cried loudly.

Endless grievances, helplessness, and humiliation all fell on him.

During the reign of Wenhou, everyone came to pay homage.

At that time, the Duke of Qi was trembling and tied his hands to confess his guilt; Zhao and Han all followed Wei's words and met with ministers; Chu people gave tens of thousands of heads to cede Daliang in a battle, and ceded Daliang in order to seek peace; Zheng was furious and knelt down and licked Wei in a bid to seek Han's resistance; Qin lost the Xihe in a battle, and cried and begged Wei not to continue moving west...

In just thirty years, the foundation laid by Wenhou became like this.

Being attacked on all sides, and being attacked on all sides.

The hegemony of the past reflects the humiliation of today.

The young master cried bitterly and cursed: "What princes and the elected people are all birds of a feather! How can a weak country have diplomacy?"

He knew that the princes were now full of fear of the Mo family, but what could he do?

The princes had other ways to go, and at worst they could make peace with the Mo family and divide the Wei Kingdom first while the Wei Kingdom was weak.

But what other way does he have?

If you don’t sign, the princes will attack Wei, and their younger brother may also be sponsored by the princes. If you don’t sign, the younger brother will sign.

If you sign, you can still be a prince and perhaps you will have the opportunity to work hard to make a new future.

If you don’t sign, what can you do? Even if your younger brother doesn’t sign, can’t the princes call him?

The blood of Wei State has dried up.

In the Battle of Zhao Jichengquan, Wei lost allies and prestige; in the Battle of Zheng, Wei lost elite troops in the Central Plains field war; in the Battle of Xihe, Wei Wuzhang was almost destroyed...

The more failures, the more ruthless the domestic exploitation will be, the more intense the people's emotions will be, the easier it will be for the Mohist morality to spread, and the Wei State can no longer hold on.

Wei Jiyi couldn't afford to get sick, but he was frightened by the battle of Xihe. His head was crooked and his eyes were slanted. I'm afraid he was unlucky.

Domestic aristocratic forces have their own thoughts and have their own ulterior motives, what can he do?

He cried hard, but his confidant looked at his son and said nothing for a long time.

After a while, the crying paused, and his confidant said, "Young Master, Qin Qihan is afraid of Mo. Now the situation is clear, even the people in the market can see clearly. If they do not join forces to fight against Mo, then they will be afraid of death and all the princes will become common people. Since this is the case, how can Qin Qihan not fight?"

"It's better not to ignore it. Since they dare to leave with their sleeves, why can't the young master? If he advances as retreats, he may cut off less land and towns."

"Even, the young master can talk about it. If the forced force is too much, the young master can make an act of joining the Mo family to intimidate the princes..."

Young Master Hu thought his confidant had some amazing plans, but he didn't want to hear such nonsense and scolded: "Silly!"

"Now I am against Mo, I think it is the consensus of the princes and princes in the world. If I leave with my sleeves, I will have someone who is willing to sell the Xihe River to rebel against Mo."

"Wei has no soldiers, and the princes do not rely on the soldiers of Wei. They only rely on the Wei State to be able to send people and food. If Wei still has soldiers, why would this happen?"

"The Mo family is not a prince. If the Mo family is Chu, I can say today that if you force me too much, I will go to Chu. But the Mo family is not a state of Chu, nor a prince. I can still be a marquis of Wei when I go to Chu. But if I throw myself into Mo, I am just a commoner. How can the princes be frightened by these words?"

"Besides, if I throw myself into the ink, I will be killed by my brothers and gentlemen once. There are many people who can be the Marquis of Wei, and I am not the only one."

"You have to figure out that Wei is a country of Wei, not a country of people. If I claim to be Wei to Mo, it would be a country of rebel against Wei's nobles and would definitely die."

His confidant said: "Since the young master has already understood that the country is not a country of people, why not rely on the power of people to dominate?"

"As for today, although the general trend is not determined, there is no difference between Wei."

"The Mo family is victorious, and the Wei family is all common people. The princes are victorious, and the matter of dividing Jin is close to us. Will the princes keep blind dates and not attacking Wei?"

"So, whether the princes win or the Mo family wins, the result is the same for the young master. The young master thinks that he can really work hard to govern Goujian's affairs?"

Prince Yu was silent. He understood that all countries are undergoing drastic changes now, and the pattern and scale of war change every few years. Wei is surrounded by enemies, and there are even the aggressive actions of Wenhou in the past. In fact, it may not be possible to imitate Goujian to slept with firewood and taste gall.

The confidant said again: "If the young master surrenders to Mo and uses the power of the Mo family to promote war-weary people and eager for pacification, it may not be impossible to accomplish anything."

"For example, although Song Gong was named a commoner, he was still frugal and frugal. His disciples and grandchildren could also enter the best school in Si. Although they could not be the lord of a country, the world would be determined in the future and would be a large family in a county."

"Besides, the young master raised troops and claimed to be beneficial to the people. The Mo family praised such people. Even if the young master would not let him take over the Wei territory, his descendants would be rich. Since they are equal, the riches of the young master may not be able to achieve great things again."

The young master was slightly moved in his heart, but then shook his head and said, "If you do this, you can only do it, not say it. Therefore, you cannot intimidate the princes and reduce their pressure. This is something that you have to do. What I want is not to do, but to say it."

"How can we make the princes nervous and no longer ask for more land!"

"What you just said cannot be spread out."
