No hegemony will be strong forever. The sun and the moon rotate and alternate endlessly. After the glory, it will usher in decline.
In the eleventh year of the Battle of Xiapi, in the autumn of the thirty-sixth year after Wang Sheng came to the throne, Wang Sheng passed away in Huai Palace.
Two cloud cranes descended from the sky, danced sadly, and then left again.
His posthumous title is Duke Wu Zhao.
Being strong and straightforward is called Wu; being powerful and powerful against enemies is called Wu; expanding the territory and opening a seal is called Wu; bringing peace to the people is called Wu; conquering the world is called Wu; being wise and not killing is called Wu; being graceful and graceful is called Zhao; showing virtue and working hard is called Zhao; The voice heard from afar is called Zhao; the majestic and respectful person is called Zhao.
[Wang Sheng passed away. He was the second son of destiny in the history of Huai Kingdom. Heaven and earth mourned him. He ended the overlord rule of Qi State, swallowed Wu, destroyed Zhongli, and merged with Tan. The princes of the world looked up to him and established a school. , had a huge impact on history, and now we start to count his lifetime achievements. You have obtained a lot of luck points, and you have obtained the heavenly item - the Hall of Heroes. 】
[Heaven Level·Hall of Heroes: After use, a Hall of Heroes can be manifested in the cave world. After the death of the Wang family’s descendants, their souls will return to the Hall of Heroes to sleep. At the same time, the outstanding members of the clan will also enter the Hall of Heroes after death. . 】
In the cave world, in a valley, a solemn building appeared here, it was the Hall of Heroes.
Zijue woke up from his deep sleep, his heart moved slightly, and he appeared in the Hall of Heroes.
At this time, a row of lifelike stone statues had appeared in the Hall of Heroes, the first of which was his son, Wang Zhao. Although Wang Zhao's talent attributes are not very good, under Zijue's words and deeds, he did very well.
As the first son of destiny in the Wang family, Wang Lin. His statue is in the fifth place, and Wang Sheng, as the second son of the Wang family, is in the ninth place. In addition to the statues of the public family, some outstanding members of the public family will also appear here.
For example, Xu Mao, the capable minister who assisted Wang Sheng and created the hegemony of Huai Kingdom, has already left before Wang Sheng. After looking at the Hall of Heroes, Zijue turned and left.
Wang Sheng's death made everyone in the world breathe a sigh of relief. The Huai Kingdom's overwhelming momentum made many princes breathless, fearing that when they opened their eyes that morning, the Huai Kingdom's army would already be at the door.
Now that Wang Sheng has passed away, without this powerful leader who can dominate the world, although the Huai Kingdom is still very strong, it no longer has the momentum to dominate the world.
Wang Sheng passed away and his legitimate son Yong came to the throne. It may be that Wang Sheng's birth consumed too much of the handsome spirit of the Huaiguo family, and his legitimate sons were all mediocre people.
Fortunately, there are still some talented people in the clan. With the help of these people, although the Huai Kingdom no longer has the ability to dominate the world, it is still a top power.
However, after Wang Sheng passed away, the Marquis of Qi was still alive, and the Marquis of Qi who was terminated by the Huai Kingdom as the overlord of the princes was still alive.
Without Wang Sheng's suppression, the monarchs and ministers of Qi State had been dormant for more than ten years and then prospered again. However, because of the previous defeat by Huai, Qi Hou and Guan Zhong had a tacit understanding and did not mention the conquest of Huai again.
After Wang Sheng's death, Qi began to dominate again. It's just that this time Qi Hou's dominance has lost the prestige of commanding the world like last time.
This time, the Marquis of Qi was more cautious. Wei Guo had participated in the conquest of Huai State before, but his strength was greatly damaged, and he was actually attacked and destroyed by Yi Di. When the Marquis of Qi learned about it, he immediately commanded the army to rescue Wei Guo. After the army defeated the Yi Di, the Wei Kingdom's land was restored. However, because the Wei Kingdom was defeated by the Yi Di, its strength was greatly reduced and it was unable to deal with the Yi Di on its own.
So the Marquis of Qi helped Wei Guo reestablish the capital at Chuqiu on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The situation of Wei State was similar to that of Xing State, but Xing State was not captured. The Marquis of Qi invited Song Gong and Cao Hou, and the three countries sent troops to defeat Yi Di and save Xing State. However, Xing State's strength was also declining, and with the help of Qi Hou, it moved its capital closer to Qi State.
With the help of the Marquis of Qi, the Central Plains countries are also recovering their strength.
Seeing that the strength of the vassal states in the Central Plains had recovered, the Huai State was also a little worried. Wang Yong asked his ministers for advice, and Gongyang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, although Qi State is prosperous, it cannot last long. Three of the five heroes of Qi State have died, but But we haven’t found anyone who can take over. How can such a hegemony last forever?”
"According to my observation, the Marquis of Qi likes luxury and enjoyment.
Guan Zhong could control fine wine and delicious food when he was alive, but once Guan Zhong died of illness, the state of Qi would also decline. "
"The more important point is that the Marquis of Qi once agreed to five prohibitions when he dominated the world. One was not to change the established prince and not to take concubines as wives. But this Marquis of Qi did not do it." Gongyang Shuo explained with a smile. .
"The Marquis of Qi did not replace his wives with concubines, but all his wives were wives. There was no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the sons he gave birth to had no inferiority. Moreover, the Marquis of Qi has not established a prince yet, which is a disaster. Tao!"
Gongyang Shuo explained.
Wang Yong thought about it and felt that what Gongyang Shuo said made sense. But he was still worried about Qi Hou, so he called in several managers from the intelligence network controlled by the office to give Qi Hou a push.
So he asked people to find out the information about Qi State and prepare to see what could be done.
"Your Majesty, I know a chef whose delicacies are highly praised by everyone who has tasted them. How about recommending him to the Marquis of Qi?"
"What is this man's character like?" Wang Yong asked.
"He loves wealth and honor, but forgets his righteousness when he sees profit."
"This is the perfect time to recommend it to the Marquis of Qi!" Wang Yong stroked his hand.
"By the way, take a recipe from the palace and give it to that person, and then find an opportunity to send him to Qi!"
"Here!"
After Wang Yong gave the order, Huaiguo's intelligence network quickly found the cook Yiya. It's just that these spies didn't tell him anything in order to avoid being suspected.
Instead, he pretended to be a food-hungry guest and paid Yi Ya to cook. After Yi Ya made the delicious food, these people started to taste it.
After eating a few bites, everyone greatly appreciated Yi Ya's cooking skills. One of them saw that the fire was almost done, so he said: "Since the food you cook is so delicious, why don't you open a shop in Linzi? Linzi is rich. , you will definitely make a fortune if you go there.”
"Linzi is good, but I'm worried that my cooking skills are not good enough..." Yi Ya felt a little moved.
"Haha, what's so difficult about this? I've been traveling around in business and got a recipe. If you can learn this recipe, no one in Linzi can be as good at cooking as you!" The man said and put a recipe into his hands. Give the recipe to Yi Ya.
After Yi Ya looked through it, he immediately felt like he had found a treasure.
"Are you really going to give me such a precious recipe?" Yi Ya asked excitedly.
"Of course, since you tasted such delicious food today, I'll give you the recipe!" the man said with a smile.
After Yi Ya got the recipe, his cooking skills improved again, so he came to Linzi, Qi State with confidence and opened a restaurant.
