heard of it" Lao Zhu asked in bewilderment.“This Dàlìwán is said to be a powerful elixir that increases strength. I’ve never seen it, but according to my fellow disciples, it was originally called [H...If it were a Qin person...

King Zhou contemplated the feasibility of using Qin's methods against Chu.

From a tiny nation to dominating the Western Rong in just fifty years, and now these strange beings...

In the future, this person could become a major threat. If we can't control him, it would be better to let Qin and Chu fight each other first and take advantage of the situation than to allow him to serve in the Zhou dynasty.

Such eccentrics are generally hard to entice with ordinary possessions. All in all, let's give it a try.

"Two esteemed gentlemen from Qin, who have come to help alleviate the worries of Luoyang City, should be rewarded.... Bring them here....."

.......

You have obtained the secret realm reward. You can choose to summon a random card from the [Weekly] pool, with a rarity no higher than Gold, or decline the reward, with unknown consequences.

"Zhao Cheng" and "Zhao Fengbao" looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, my companions and I have no interest in these material possessions."

King Zhou remained outwardly calm, but a plan was forming in his mind.

"I apologize for the intrusion, this ordinary object is surely unworthy of your attention. Attendant, display the treasures from the inner palace!"

You have obtained a secret realm reward. You can choose to pull one random card from the 【Weekly】 gacha pool, with a maximum rarity of Gold 4-star, or refuse the reward, with unknown consequences.

The two remained unmoved, and drew one card. It was almost enough to compensate for the losses Chu San suffered in three rounds; that wasn't a loss, was it

Moreover, this visit is not without ulterior motives.

This week, the Son of Heaven has neglected his duties and spent his days indulging in frivolous pursuits. He has been busy constructing palaces and amassing wealth, while the people are deeply dissatisfied.

If King Wu saw this, he wouldn't hesitate to crawl out of his grave and show up in person.

In the world, the capable seize power. It is not surprising that feudal lords compete for dominance. Come to think of it, the Zhou dynasty's time is nearing its end.... That spectacle certainly cannot be missed!

Do not be swayed by petty immediate gains.

When the Zhou emperor saw this, he understood most of it.

These two individuals are probably not easy to pacify. And they have already had a falling out with the Chu people... why not secretly guide them in that direction

If Qin and Chu go to war, the Zhou dynasty would benefit greatly by mediating between them.

"Gentlemen...true gentlemen!! Come, I shall offer you both another cup." King Zhou raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp: "Alas, there are not many righteous men like yourselves in the world today. Think of Chu Zhuang..."

You are about to enter the card story event [The King of War Asks for Domination]!

Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, "He's here."

.......

.......

"Report, Your Majesty, the emissary of King Chu Zhuang requests an audience!"

"Not seen, I am..."

"The Chu people have been valiant in their fight against the Rong. Not only have they not received due rewards, but this time they are being obstructed instead. I don't know why" A deep voice suddenly came from outside the palace, sounding full of vigor.

During the Spring and Autumn period, all feudal lords were called "gong," while "wang" was a title exclusive to the King of Zhou.

Only the State of Chu, soon after entering the Spring and Autumn period, began to claim kingship.

King Chu publicly acknowledged the Zhou dynasty as the Son of Heaven and himself as a king. This indicates that he no longer considered the Zhou Emperor to be the undisputed master of all under heaven. However, due to King Chu's power, the Zhou dynasty was forced to adopt appeasement and conciliatory strategies.

Lu Cheng only saw a middle-aged man, wearing a ceremonial robe and walking with the grace of a dragon and tiger, entering the banquet hall.

King Chu of Zhuang's emissary swept his gaze over the assembled crowd.

"What a celebration today! But this victory against the enemy is thanks to my Chu people. Why wasn't I, the King, invited to the feast" The envoy wasn't at all polite...

In this era, those who dare to be envoys are fearless people.

Zhou Tianzi did not know how to answer, and stammered before speaking.

"This...because this is Qin Gong's celebration banquet for defeating the Western Rong!"

Lu Cheng frowned, he could hear the meaning behind those words, but he didn't lash out for now.

"Good, what a Qin who breaks the Xirong! Today I am here to demand an explanation for my king!" The envoy said as he sat down. "Chu troops fought bravely and defeated the Shanrong. The Son of Heaven and the princes should have treated each other with respect. But Qin blocked us at the Luoshui River. My king does not want to fight in the same room, so he has temporarily stopped the army. However, if the Son of Heaven does not give us an explanation, it will be difficult to appease the grievances of the people in Chu land. Then, if things are left unchecked... the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Chu's words carried a heavy threat!

"Alas," Lu Cheng stood up and said, "The emissary of Chu is mistaken. Although the Chu army has made contributions, it has also caused disturbance among the people of Luoyang. Both I and he are only trying to dissuade King Chu, we do not wish to start a large-scale war."

"Humph!"

The scene was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and Emperor Zhou hurriedly got up.

"Alas, alas, enough! The Chu people have accomplished great things. Come here, reward the Chu... "

"Thanks, Your Majesty. I decline any rewards," the envoy said, waving his hand dismissively.

"That... what does King Chu want..." the Son of Heaven asked.

The envoy raised his head and uttered a sentence.

"I love bronze wares, especially cauldrons. I want to cast nine copies of them but don't know the size and weight of Zhou Dynasty cauldrons. Could you tell me"

......

......

!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, all four people were astonished!

What are the dimensions and weight of Zhou Ding

Is this something you can ask

Although King Chu had already been crowned, he still recognized the Son of Heaven outwardly. If the Nine Cauldrons were truly moved to Chu... then things would be very bad!

And this Chu King says it's a fake, who knows what he means

All eyes were on him, and whispers flew through the crowd.... Suddenly, no one dared to speak.

Lu Cheng and Zhao Feng both remained silent. With the plot unfolding like this, they could only observe how this cauldron was tested.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he wanted to be angry, but when he thought of Chu's power, he could only swallow his anger in silence.

This King Chu is truly despicable!

What should I do now

At this moment, someone at the table suddenly rose to their feet and respectfully bowed to the emperor.

"I have something to say!"

The Son of Heaven looked.

Dr. Wang Sunman, this is a very capable person.

"Speak."

The prince gazed around at the courtiers surrounding him, then, after a moment's pause, slowly ascended the steps and whispered in the ear of Emperor Zhou.

"Your Majesty, this King of Chu is not seeking to claim the Mandate of Heaven for himself, but rather to transfer it to Chu. His intentions are malicious, but openly confronting him would be unwise. Regarding this matter of presenting the Tripod, I have a plan."

The Emperor himself knows this is not a question to be answered lightly.......What does the Royal Physician have in mind

He then whispered, "What are your plans"

"This tripod weighs so much, if King Chu Zhuang was truly interested in testing its weight, why not let him try it himself" Wang Sun Man smiled faintly, "The Nine Tripods belong to the world, and only those of great virtue and ability can bear their weight. If King Chu knows his limits and retreats, his face will be lost. But if he truly tries...and forcibly lifts it, he'll surely die! And his death would be his own doing, having nothing to do with us!"

The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up.

Brilliant!

This is quite clever...

The Nine Cauldrons are divine artifacts of humanity, forged in ancient times.

Legend has it that Yu received the gold of the Nine Tribes and cast them into nine tripods.

This is not something an ordinary person can lift. The Son of Heaven used it when he could put forth a fraction of his strength, but as the Emperor himself, he couldn't lift it...

Moreover, the emperor was fond of play. He once, for amusement, had numerous palace attendants and scholars attempt to lift a tripod, but no one was able to lift even one of the nine tripods!

Also, because of the dragon's Qi filling the body, many people died.

Of course this envoy represented King Chu. Then, if King Chu himself asked about the weight of the Ding, shouldn't he have weighed it himself

If King Chu knew when to retreat, then the world would know that King Chu was incompetent.

If he were to raise it, then... Humph.

When King Chu Zhuang died, Chu was thrown into chaos. Then they plotted with Qin and Qi to attack Chu....Things could be very promising!

That's it!

"Tell King Chu that I have agreed to the matter of the tripod. However, this is a serious matter, and the Nine Tripods are not something ordinary people can touch. He must come himself to measure!"

(In history, the King of Chu went to war against the Rong people, his army reaching the Luo River. The minister Wang Sun Man obeyed the emperor's order and offered refreshments to the soldiers. The king of Chu aimed for world domination, so he asked him: How much does a cauldron weigh)

Wang Sunman did not directly answer.

There is a poem:

The rise and fall of a dynasty depend on its virtue, not on its magnificence. Why should the Duke of Chu worry about the weight
