Prince Wei of Chu Lingyin had just become the leader of the alliance. Although he had no experience in handling similar international disputes, he could still follow the example.
What did the Marquis of Jin do at the Pingqiu meeting? Let's do it now!
After all, your Jin country has more experience than us in being the leader of the alliance. Just follow your routine, that's for sure.
Wu Ju's idea can be said to be very appropriate, so that other countries will not have any objections, nor will they feel too wronged to Ju State. Anyway, the lessons from the past are there. If you say that Chu State cannot do this, then we will have something to say.
The prince gathered around and thought, well, it is indeed a good idea.
So he immediately turned his head and looked at the Lord of Ju in the audience and said:
"Sir, please don't worry. Since our country of Chu has been appointed as the leader of the alliance today, we will definitely make the decision for you."
Afterwards, Wang Ziwei immediately faced everyone and shouted loudly:
"Where is the Lord of Lu!"
The next moment, Wang Ziwei's expression suddenly darkened.
When Shusun Bao heard the sound, he didn't dare to respond. He immediately stood up and walked out of the queue, bowing towards the prince to salute him.
"You, the State of Lu, pretend to be a state of etiquette, but now you are openly breaking your oath and attacking neighboring countries! What else do you have to say?"
This is just like when the Marquis of Jin interrogated Ji Sunsu, the routine was the same.
I will first ask the question clearly, then I will convict you, and finally deal with you. Anyway, I will make you docile, so that the ministers of the country will have nothing to say.
Shu Sunbao's head was still buzzing at this time. How could he know what was going on?
When he left Lu, everything was fine, and the country was calm. But as soon as he got here, Ju State directly dealt with him like this. What can you do if you ask him?
"Alliance Leader Mingjian, this...this...Bao Shi really doesn't know what is going on..."
The difference between Shusunbao and Jisunsu was revealed at this moment.
At that time, Ji Sunsu was accused of invading Ju and Zhu, and he shamelessly wanted to refute the accusation, and he also shamelessly tried to reduce the big issue to trivial matters in the name of local fighting.
His cunning and cunning nature can be seen at a glance.
If Shusun Bao also has this nature, then at this moment he only needs to refute it on the grounds that all these are false accusations by the Lord of Ju, and ask the leader of the alliance to personally send someone to assist in the investigation.
After all, your Ju State is just talking about this kind of thing. You said that Lu State attacked your Ju State and occupied your city. Who saw it? Guo and Ju want to go far away, and it will take dozens of days to go back and forth, even if they work hard. You said that our Lu country beat you "during the alliance meeting". Isn't this clearly a lie?
It's a pity that Shusun Bao has always been a decent person, but he has no determination to think of something like rogue. Secondly, he could not have thought of so many things in a moment of desperation.
So his answer of "I don't know anything" gave Wang Ziwei a huge room for development.
A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. This has been the case since ancient times.
Li Ran felt bad. Uncle Sunbao might be in trouble now.
Sure enough, when the prince heard what he said, he was furious and said:
"Hmph! As the high minister of the State of Lu, you actually don't know anything about sending troops to capture other countries' cities?! It's obviously just sophistry!"
"My Majesty Yin has also heard that you have already made mistakes in the Pingqiu meeting before. How long has it been just now? Are you from Lu State so bold and reckless again?! My Majesty Yin is the one who convened the alliance this time. The oath, can you, the Lu State, completely forget it even if you turn around?!"
"That's unreasonable! Do you, the Lu State, take our leader, the Chu State, seriously?"
You said you don't know what's going on, so now you can't help me say whatever you want?
Wang Ziwei snorted coldly, his displeasure evident in his expression.
Shusun Bao also knew that what happened today might be difficult to resolve, so he had no choice but to bow down and say:
"Your Majesty, our leader, since the meeting in Pingqiu, our country of Lu has always abided by the covenant and has never exceeded even half a step. What the people of Ju said is true..."
He never refuted Ju's false accusations, because he knew in his heart that it was impossible to talk nonsense about international disputes like this.
The only thing that can be explained is that someone from the Lu Kingdom really did this and deliberately harmed him.
After standing here for a long time, he finally figured this out. But how could he say such a thing?
At first, Shu Sunbao knew that it would be useless to talk about it. If he didn't talk about it, it would not solve the actual problem, and it would only make people in other countries laugh. Secondly, he is the Shangqing of the Lu State after all, and his every move represents the image of the Lu State. Whenever he said something unfavorable to the Lu State on such occasions, his reputation in the Lu State would come to an end.
It is said that family scandals should not be publicized, so how could his uncle Sun Bao publicize the internal strife in his country everywhere?
"snort!"
"The Lu State is treacherous and daring, it is really abominable!"
"Come on, capture Shusun Bao and escort him back to Yingdu!"
At this point, there was no need to continue the discussion, so Wang Ziwei had people take down Shusun Bao.
Just like when the Marquis of Jin took Ji Sunsu into custody at the Pingqiu meeting.
And all the ministers from various countries present, whether Zhao Wu or Zichan, could only remain silent.
Because at the beginning, they also saw clearly that this was what the Marquis of Jin did.
Since the Marquis of Jin did this in the first place, they never spoke out. So now that Chu State is doing this, how can they speak out against it?
Doesn't this become a double standard?
So, Shu Sunbao was taken away by the Chu guards.
The prince gathered around the audience to see that all the ministers from different countries had no objections to this, and he felt even more arrogant.
This is the first time he has exercised his power as leader of the alliance, and it is also the first time he has punished a minister other than himself from the Chu Kingdom! What kind of experience is this?
It’s so cool, isn’t it?
Moreover, who could have imagined that it would be so smooth and easy?
"Haha, I, Wang Ziwei, am indeed a man with destiny! Sooner or later, this whole world will be my, Xiong Wei's! Just wait and see!"
At this moment, he is no longer satisfied with being the leader of the alliance. He now dreams of becoming the master of the world!
The nine princes unite to rule the world!
This is his ultimate life ideal of Wang Ziwei!
"What is Duke Huan of Qi?"
"At that time, he won't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
He had been shocked by Li Ran's talk about Duke Huan of Qi before, but at this moment, he was so swollen that he couldn't even look down on Duke Huan of Qi.
It only takes a short month for desire to spread from the moment it is born.
In this month, Wang Ziwei's desire has gradually developed from thinking about how to usurp power naturally to how to rule the world!
Even the Emperor Qin Shihuang of later generations would probably give him a thumbs up when he saw it.
Who can compare to this ambition?
As a result, the Guo Di Association's alliance came to an end under the pressure of his prince Wei.
No one expected that this alliance meeting would directly allow Wang Ziwei to truly exercise the authority of the alliance leader. And Wang Ziwei seemed to have truly become the leader of the Central Plains Alliance.
Originally it was just a play, everyone just played their respective roles. What now? This fake show is really done!
In this way, will the Chu State become the leader of the world?
Li Ran raised his head and looked at Wang Ziwei on the high platform, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
For Wang Ziwei, everything seemed to be going too smoothly. But for him, Li Ran, the twists and turns of this alliance have just begun.
Shusun Bao must not be brought back to the Chu State by the prince, because in the current Lu State, Shusun Bao is the veritable central axis!
"Ji Sun Yiru, I didn't expect that we would have to fight again."
Li Ran silently recited Ji Sun Yiru's name in his heart, and suddenly felt a desire to kill again.
