In the face of family interests, he could only put aside his hatred temporarily.

However, he never expected that not only did he fail to force the emperor to abdicate, but he was instead beaten badly by King Li. He was in a state of panic the whole time afterwards and could only wait for the storm to pass.

As a result, before he had even calmed down, Zhao Qi came again and shamelessly proposed to divide the Li among the three families. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and spoke with a bit of anger: "It is indeed too early to mention the division of the three families today, but it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future. At the event, Ying Wuji deduced the evolution nine times and succeeded six times in total. You two family heads know best how deep the Wei and Han are. If you don't want to cooperate with me, are you ready to sit and wait for death?"

Wei Huan snorted coldly, "Oh? Does Lord Pingling represent the Li family, or the Zhou royal family? If civil strife really breaks out in the Li Kingdom, which of these two families would dare to intervene?"

Zhao Qi's face looked a little gloomy.

Because no one dared to take action.

Although he had received a lot of resources from the Li family, the Li family's way of survival was to divide into internal factions, with each family investing in a different family. He was just one of their many investments.

When chaos breaks out in the Kingdom of Li, anyone could join the war except the Li family.

Han Zhe smiled faintly: "Please don't hurt the harmony between the two of you. Since Lord Pingling dares to bring up this matter, it means that there must be a countermeasure. Lord Pingling, don't you think so?"

Zhao Qi's expression eased a little, "Of course, I just told you about the law of blood. Do you know who controls this law?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Huan and Han Zhe's eyebrows jumped.

Both of them were well-versed in history books. If there was anyone who could manipulate the laws of blood, it could only be...

Zhao Qi snorted coldly: "When the Zhou Dynasty unified, the Zhou emperor divided the world into fiefdoms. Many kings were ministers of the Zhou royal court. Before that, most of them were impoverished nobles, and their bloodlines had long been declining. But after being enfeoffed as kings, which family did not produce many talented people?"

Han Zhe was surprised and asked, "The one who controls the bloodline is Emperor Zhou?"

Wei Huan's eyes also became much more serious. In fact, he really wanted to ask, if the Zhou emperor could really control the laws of blood, why did the Zhou royal family decline to this extent?

In the past, when the Zhou emperor was the ruler of the nine provinces, his authority over the feudal states was unparalleled.

But given the pitiful amount of land that the Zhou royal domain had now, what could the Zhou emperor use to establish a kingdom?

Even if we forcibly mark out a piece of land to seal it off, who in the world would recognize it?

And blood revived?

Are you dreaming?

But think about it, if Zhao Qi dared to say so, he must be sure of it.

"It's a bit exaggerated to say that he can control the laws, but Emperor Zhou is indeed the only one who can use the laws of blood."

Zhao Qi snorted coldly: "Although the Wei and Han families are extremely powerful in the Li Kingdom and their family talents are not much inferior to those of the Zhao clan, ask yourself, how do the current Wei and Han compare to the heyday of the Ji clan?"

Neither of them answered.

Of course it is far inferior.

Not to mention Wei and Han, even if the entire world were added together, there would not be as many strong men as when King Wu conquered King Zhou.

Zhao Qi stood up, supported himself on the table with both hands, and leaned forward slightly: "Emperor Zhou has a way to revive blood!"

Hearing this, both of them were startled. If the original bloodline could really be revived, why would the two families have to look at the Zhao family's face? As long as they found a reasonable reason, they could just establish a country.

But they did not show any unusual color on the surface.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

If reviving bloodline was really that simple, the Emperor of Zhou would have restored the Zhou Dynasty long ago. Why would he send a fool like Zhao Qi to negotiate with the two of them?

Wei Huan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me! What is the method!"

Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's very simple! The union of clans!"

"Combined clan?"

Wei Huan and Han Zhe couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhao Qi nodded: "Yes! Now, there are only three countries with the surname Ji, namely Wu, Yan and Yan. But there are still many Ji families, among which Wei and Han are the most. If the ancestry can be united, the Ji bloodline will surely be revived instantly, and it will not be a problem to crush Ying, Zhao, Mi, Tian and Jiang."

Wei Huan snorted coldly: "Isn't it too simple to revive the bloodline just by nominally uniting the clan?"

Zhao Qi shook his head: "Of course not! Since we want to unite the clans, then all clan members must obey the orders of the clan head. Each branch family must send their legitimate son to serve in the Zhou royal capital, and the legitimate son who will inherit the small clan in the future will have his marriage appointed by the clan head. Of course, there is another important condition that needs to be met, which I will talk about later."

Wei Huan's expression became colder.

The legitimate son goes to the Zhou royal capital to serve as a vassal, and the future head of the family will have his marriage arranged by the clan leader.

Isn't this still being a subject?

The only difference is that the current Majesty’s surname is Zhao, and the future Majesty’s surname will be Ji, and their bloodline will be stronger?

Han Zhe's face didn't look particularly good either.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi quickly added: "Of course, if there really is a day of unification, the Zhou emperor will not interfere too much in the affairs of the various families. Just inform the Zhou emperor after the decision is made. At that time, as long as you still respect the Zhou emperor as the common leader, you can be the monarch with peace of mind."

The two men then relaxed their expressions a little.

But Wei Huan snorted again: "If you really want to revive your bloodline to what Pingling Jun said, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on Wei and Han alone? Although Wu Yan is weak, it's better than being a minister of another family. Yan has completed the reform. Although it is not as good as Gan, it is not a weak country. I'm afraid the face of the Zhou emperor is not that big!"

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Wei Yushi. In Li Tu, I, Zhao Qi, will persuade you two. In other countries, there will naturally be others to persuade the future monarchs. Wu has always been weak, and Yan was also seriously injured after the war with Gan. There is no need to say more about these two countries. Although Yan is a little difficult to deal with, there are also capable ministers to mediate."
