Chapter 131: All for the throne

Envoy to Qin?

Not to mention how much time it will take to get there, it will take almost the same time to come back, and how long should you stay when you arrive in Qin.

This time, not only did he go to break off diplomatic relations, but he also wanted to kill as many fierce generals as possible from the Qin people.

Is the Jin Kingdom so strong?

In the past two years, Lu Wu has been in a state of endowment for more than half of the time.

Before, it was just a small village and there wasn't much to do, and the endowment was an opportunity to fight for the rise.

Now that he has acquired a large fief, he is at a stage where it will take a lot of time to build a fief.

As a lord who has not been in a fief for a long time, he naturally has nothing to say when he goes out to collect taxes, and on the premise of not leaving, who will put down what he should do and run away?

Lu Wu felt that he had now entered a stable period, and he should devote more energy to the construction of the fiefdom, and he did not need new credit for the time being.

"Yes, I have been granted a fief for more than a year, and I have never had the opportunity to build a fief." Lü Wu said very seriously: "More time had to go on the expedition, so that my fiefdom was not built. ”

Wei Xiang was stunned.

Lu Wu needed to express his meaning clearly, so naturally he no longer chewed on the words, and said: "If you don't build a fief, your subjects won't be able to see the responsibility that a lord should have." I only have a five-year transition period, and it is already difficult to develop into a force that should be paid without borrowing external forces in five years. It's been more than a year now. ”

Wei Xiang understood.

Indeed, no matter how many achievements Lu Wu has made, they have achieved it in a very short period of time.

What he should do now is to build his own fiefdom, how can he run around?

Besides, next year will definitely be to fight with Qin Guo.

The nobles located in the northwestern frontier of the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be recruited.

It means that Lu Wu will not have much time to stay in the fiefdom next year.

It can even be said that no one knows how far the war with the Qin State will be fought and how long it will last.

Wei Xiang looked at Lu Wu very apologetically, saluted solemnly, and said, "That's the case. ”

Lu Wu returned the salute and said: "If you need Wu to go, Wu will not refuse." ”

It's strange, there is no fierce general brother in the Jin Kingdom?

If you want to kill the prestige of the Qin State, you can choose other fierce generals who need to make meritorious contributions!

Lü Wu had already made up his mind that he should stay and build his fiefdom rather than seek new credit.

This is definitely not because he is afraid that he will not be able to come back if he goes to the Qin State, it is completely because he has not yet digested the benefits brought by his credit.

"As Wu said, the family is the most important!" Wei Xiang didn't look like he was saying the opposite, and said apologetically: "If necessary, I will look for you." ”

Fortunately, Wei Xiang was a feudal Spring and Autumn man, and the most important thing was to recognize and build his own fiefdom.

In other generations, they will think that it is right to give up their small family to take care of everyone.

Of course, if people who think this way, if they really do it themselves, they will naturally be able to shout justifiably.

If you can't do it yourself, but you can only say beautiful things, then "hehe".

Lu Wu relaxed when he saw Wei Xiang's approval.

The two entered into a moment of small talk.

After sending Wei Xiang away, Lu Wu remembered what kind of historical event this was.

This is the "Book of Absolute Qin" incident!

The background of the story, Lu Wu experienced it firsthand.

After the Qin State formulated the national policy of going east, it deceived the Jin State many times.

Last year, Jin Jun and Qin Jun met ally.

According to the original history, Qin Jun actually did not cross the river.

The two monarchs came to an alliance across the river, and the envoys of both sides talked back and forth, and after a rough negotiation, they left separately.

However, Qin Jun, who had returned, immediately tore up the covenant and sent a large number of envoys to the nations, inviting them to attack the Jin kingdom together.

The nations rejected Qin's invitation to join the alliance, and only Bai Zhai responded.

Historically, Bai Zhai and Qin sent troops together, and then were defeated by the Jin State, so that the Jin State was furious, and the Jin Jun sent an envoy to the Qin State to break off diplomatic relations.

In Lü Wu's personal experience, only Bai Zhai invaded the Jin State very strongly, and the Qin army stayed in his own territory without moving.

"Wei Xiang went to Qin State, what else happened after the incident of the "Book of Absolute Qin"?" Lu Wu was thinking very hard, but he didn't have the slightest impression. He said secretly: "In history, it is a sure thing that Wei Xiang will return to China safely, and there is no need to worry about his safety......

Next, Lu Wu put aside all the miscellaneous thoughts, just as he told Wei Xiang, he needed to devote all his energy to the construction of the fiefdom.

And on the twelfth day after Wei Xiang left, a team from the Wei clan came.

They sent one hundred and twenty cartloads of various grains, and the reason given was that Wei Xiang wanted to apologize.

Speaking seriously, Wei Xiang should indeed apologize.

Lu Wucai obtained the fief, and most of the time he did not preside over the construction of the fief, which seemed to outsiders to have seriously affected the rise of the old Lu family.

This time, Wei Xiang knew in advance that he would be an envoy to Qin, so he came to invite Lu Wu to envoy to Qin.

That was Wei Xiang's own idea, not an order from the monarch, let alone a task given by the rest of the "Qing".

For his own convenience, regardless of Lu Wu's need to build a fief, it is completely unreasonable to be reasonable.

Wei Xiang should not be resentful of Lu Wu's refusal, and even praise Lu Wu for having a sense of feudal lordship, and it has become a matter of course to express his apology.

If Wei Xiang didn't say anything at all, no one would dare to make friends with him in the future.

In fact, no one will like a person who cares about the feelings of others at every turn, let alone submit it to friends.

Lu Wu thought about it for a while, selected a set of armor, and ordered someone to send it to Wei Xiang.

He needed to test the Wei family a little further before he could decide where the family would go next.

That set of armor is copper armor, and the difference from the last time Wei Xiang got it is that the new copper armor is fish scale armor.

The last time Lu Wu gave Wei Xiang was a zha armor style.

It's just a set of armor, which can fully withstand the one hundred and twenty carts of grain sent by Wei Xiang's order, and even far more than in terms of value.

The retainers of the old Lu family also carried a bundle of letters written by Lu Wu himself, mainly to tell Wei Xiang that he didn't care about those things, and Wei Xiang, as a close friend, didn't have to feel too much guilt.

In addition, the old Lu family has achieved new results, and they want to share the joy with Wei Xiang for the first time.

Wei Xiang, who was in the "Lu" land, received armor, and it happened that Lu Qi and some juniors of the Wei family were also present.

"Xiao Wu is away all the year round, you shouldn't go to invite." Lu Qi is Wei Qi, and he is also one of Lu Wu's fathers-in-law, he looked at Wei Xiang with a little reproach, and said: "This time, Xiao Wu ordered someone to send armor, so that people can learn the cause and effect, how can the Wei family win the trust of others?" ”

Don't impose on others because of your own needs, and use that as a basis to determine whether you are domineering or not.

Wei is in need of a good reputation now, and has been working hard to create a persona.

They helped many small and medium-sized nobles, and the rise of Lü Wu was just the right thing to prove the success of the Wei clan, and both sides benefited quite a lot.

Lu Qi thought that he couldn't spoil the image created by Wei, and blamed his own son.

The title of Lü Qi is only because of the relationship between the fief, he and Lü Wu do not have the same surname, so there is no same surname and no marriage.

If Lu Qi dies one day, whether it is a family tree or a historical name, he will only call Wei Qi, not Lu Qi.

In addition, Lü Wu had already obtained a new fief, and if he was lucky enough to be recorded in history, he would use "Yin Wu" instead of Lü Wu, and would specifically indicate that he was surnamed Lin.

Wei Jie's attention was all on the armor, and he said in surprise: "This armor skill surpasses me Wei's?" ”

That set of armor had been worn on the cross, revealing the whole structure.

Layers of fish scales were repeatedly covered, giving the armor full defensive power.

The overall layout looks very simple and neat.

Simplicity is both beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

They paid the most attention to the matching of some joints, and found that the wider armor pieces were matched with leather.

In addition, the two pages of copper on the front chest are very conspicuous, and at first glance they are designed to protect the vital points.

In order to increase the beauty, there is a fox fur on the neck part, and you can see from the plush that it is the best color without careful identification.

Again, the armor was covered with some colored satin and catkins, and a bright red cape.

The inside of the armor has a leather structure, so it won't scratch after wearing it.

Wei Xiang's mind was not on the armor, he had obtained a set of bronze armor from Lu Wu before, and he had already studied it thoroughly.

And Lu Qi turned his attention to the armor at this time, and went over to check it himself, and came to the conclusion that it was consistent with Wei Jie, and the old Lu family's technology really surpassed Wei's.

Wei Jiang said with a strange expression: "I haven't seen Wuzi give armor to my uncle......"

Lu Qi is Wei Jiang's uncle.

At present, two families have obtained armor from Lü Wu.

The head of the Zhi family, Zhi Gang, is a robbery.

Then there is Wei Xiang.

Lu Qi glared at Wei Jiang, he felt that this was the choice that Lu Wu knew how to be.

If you give your father-in-law's armor, shouldn't you give it all?

After all, only sending one old man seems to be very unbelievable.

If you send it all, Lu Qi feels that the old Lu family is not rich to this extent.

Wei Xiang came back to his senses, took a closer look at the armor, and said, "This is a gift from Wu to my uncle." ”

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, and found that the style of the armor was relatively large, which was not so suitable for Wei Xiang's body, so he sighed low and said, "Xiao Wu has a heart." ”

Lu Wu had already given Wei Xiang a set of armor before, so there was no need to send another set.

Looking at the size of the armor, as well as the degree of gorgeousness, it is obvious that you need enough status to wear it.

These smart people thought about it seriously and felt that Lu Wu's gift of this set of armor contained a lot of deep meaning.

"Wu congratulates me Wei with this." Wei Xiang said with an extremely complicated mentality: "This time Xiang sent an envoy to the Qin State, and his return will definitely make my Wei clan go further ......."

What's further?

It's one step away from the throne!

They have been working for this goal for decades, and they have only recently seen the light of day.

What the Wei family is missing now is not the strength of the family, but the recognition of the "Qing".

Of course, the more credit the merrier.

At the same time, the Wei family also needs more prestige, which makes people feel that Wei's acquisition of the throne is a kind of public expectation.

In order to gain prestige, or the kind of famous countries, Wei Xiang learned that he was going to envoy to Qin, and racked his brains to conceive articles.

At present, he already has some eyebrows, and he only needs to work hard to write an article that is famous to the world, and it is also an article about the war of the Jin State against the Qin State.

Wei Jie was very depressed, and said, "The skills have surpassed my family!" ”

yes, everybody knows that.

Lu Wu wore armor with strong defensive strength on several expeditions, and no one was blind, so he didn't need Wei Jie to remind him.

So what?

Once Wei took a stand, they believed that Lü Wu would know what to do.

It's just that compared with Wei's struggle to become a "Qing", some things can be put aside for the time being.
