Chapter 176: The widow also wants to be the king of the world

Beam

The palace of King Wei is very lively, under the music played by the musicians, the officials carefully looked at the wine cup in front of them, looked at the King of Wei sitting on the upper seat, tears in their eyes, there are many officials sitting in the palace of King Wei, but most of them are local officials, they are not qualified to sit here, even to enter the Liang need to get the order of the King of Wei, let alone become the guest of the King of Wei.

King Wei looked at these officials in a tangled manner, and Pingyuan Jun sat beside King Wei, raised his wine cup, and frequently drank with those officials. These officials here are all political achievements, some big and some small, some suppressed the local thieves, some reclaimed some arable land, Pingyuan Jun specially called these meritorious officials to Daliang, let the King of Wei to entertain them, the officials sat in the palace, naturally they were particularly excited.

For people in this era, the greatest reward is not promotion, let alone wealth, but respect. Being able to get the respect of people who are respected by others is the greatest reward, and it is probably because of this that Ma Fujun, who can respect anyone, has become a recognized sage today... And Pingyuan Jun, like Meng Weijun, can also respect others, and this banquet between him and King Wei is more precious than a treasure worth a thousand gold.

These officials who were able to come to the banquet regarded this as a special honor, and as early as when they entered the palace, they made an oath that they must repay the kindness of King Wei and Pingyuan Jun, and the so-called kindness was just a banquet. Just when Pingyuan Jun was chatting with these people enthusiastically, King Wei didn't say a word, he was just dressed very poorly, and he didn't even wear a sword, and the palace looked a little empty.

Sure enough, after rewarding all his things, Pingyuanjun also regarded himself as a reward, and King Wei felt that he was no different from a dancing girl, and in Pingyuanjun, he was reduced to the point of having to accompany others to drink... King Wei took a sip of wine with an expressionless face, and in the face of another official who was crying and crying to die for himself, he put on a professional smirk and helped him up.

Speaking of which, he now regrets his sloppiness at the beginning, he shouldn't have listened to that old man Pang, if he didn't leave Pingyuan Jun, he wouldn't have become the prime minister of Wei, if he hadn't become the prime minister of Wei, he wouldn't have fallen to where he is now...

The banquet lasted for a long time, the King of Wei was exhausted by the toss, and finally sent away these officials, the king of Pingyuan generously made a promise to them, the king raised a lot of good horses, and later the second and third sons could ride away one, the officials stepped forward to express their gratitude again, the king of Wei's face twitched, but still did not speak, gave a smirk, just a few horses...

"Pingyuan Jun...", King Wei looked at Zhao Sheng, who was sitting respectfully in front of him, and said with a smile: "After you served as the Minister of Wei, the officials of Wei worked together, but in just one year, great results have been achieved in all aspects, and the widow is very grateful to you.... It's just that the widow has a feast every day, which is too tired, please allow the widow to rest for a while, how about it? ”

Zhao Sheng said helplessly: "At this point, you can't compare with King Zhao, King Zhao can set up a banquet for ten days in a row, and you won't feel tired, you are only a few days, Shangjun, Ma Fujun said, the rule of officials is the foundation of governing the country, and now the officials of Wei have received your kindness and are willing to serve you with all their might, which is exactly the way to make Wei strong and prosperous." ”

"Hehe... Oh, yes. ”

King Wei smiled, there is such a good way, why don't you go and harm King Zhao?

"Pingyuan Jun, those horses of the widow are all good horses from Zhao and Qin... Alas, the widow is not reluctant, but the widow's good horses are only more than a hundred, and the widow is worried that if you continue to divide it like this, the later officials will not be rewarded, and they will resent you for disrespecting them..."

"Don't worry, my lord, I heard that you have more than a dozen fine carriages and many beautiful boats... By the way, you also have a group of dancers..."

King Wei gasped, and asked with a smile, "After leaving Zhao State for so long, have you ever felt homesick?" ”

..........

It is impossible to send Pingyuan Jun away, although the King of Wei feels heartache, but Pingyuan Jun's achievements are indelible, Pingyuan Jun is in Wei, through gentle means to rectify the rule of officials, and recommended his own disciples to serve as officials, these of his doormen are all sages, Wei Wang himself has become poor, but the grain in the treasury has increased. King Wei also treated Pingyuan Jun more and more closely, as if he were his friend.

"The widow heard that Ma Fujun was held hostage by King Han...", as soon as King Wei spoke, Zhao Sheng shook his head and said disdainfully: "How can King Han hold Ma Fujun hostage?" I think this is just Fan Ju's strategy, that is, the king of Han ordered the Han people to kill Ma Fujun, and the Han people will never do it. Zhao Sheng said, and couldn't help but think of the young man from Zhao State.

At first, his reputation began to spread, and everyone just thought that he could fight well, but later, the deeds of his benevolence and righteousness came out one by one, and even Zhao Sheng was shocked, Zhao Sheng also thought that in addition to Meng Weijun, Chun Shenjun, Xinling Jun, and himself, there was another gentleman who was famous all over the world, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, he would become famous, and his fame was even above himself.

Where is this a new Plains Jun, this is another Xunzi...

And what makes people speechless is that this world-famous sage is not yet thirty years old! He is proficient in warfare and political affairs, and it can be said that he is the most outstanding talent that has emerged in Zhao Guo over the years, how can such a person be Zhao Hao's son? Why not mine? Zhao Sheng thought so, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was really old. Now Zhao Kuo's reputation has spread all over the world, even in Wei, there are always people talking about Ma Fujun, and the words are full of praise.

King Wei asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"Continue to train the soldiers, no matter which country the Qin State wants to attack, we will help them..."

After sending off Pingyuanjun, Longyangjun walked into the palace and sat directly in the arms of King Wei, who put his arms around him and said a little tiredly: "Pingyuanjun... It's a capable minister, but it's a pity, if you can get Ma Fujun to come to help... How could the great cause of the widow not succeed in revitalizing the Wei State? Long Yangjun chuckled, and he said, "I heard that Ma Fujun does not have an official position in Zhao State, you can invite him to come to Wei State." ”

"Doesn't he know how to govern the country? can let the officials learn his knowledge, and maybe the official system he proposed can also be established in the Wei State...", hearing Long Yangjun's words, the King of Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How can this be done? Long Yangjun continued: "I heard that the stones on other mountains can be used to polish jade, and now the stones of Zhao State and Qin State have been used to carve their own jade, why can't we?" ”

"Borrowing from the feasibility of his statecraft doctrine and correcting the aspects that are unfavorable to the Wei State, how can you not know such a truth if you want to revitalize the Wei State?"

The King of Wei thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Okay, the widow also wants to see this Ma Fu Jun, so he invites him to come to the Wei State, if you can keep him in the Wei State... Hahaha~~", King Wei laughed, hugged Long Yangjun in his arms, and said seriously: "Even if you let the widow set up a banquet every day, the widow has no complaints!" ”

Long Yangjun remembered something at this time, hurriedly broke free from King Wei's arms, and said seriously: "Shangjun, I almost forgot, there was news from Zhao State, saying that Xinlingjun was assassinated in Zhao State... I don't know if it's true or not... I've already sent someone to inquire. King Wei's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, and said, "What did you say?" Assassination!? That's how Zhao Dan treats..."

Seeing that King Wei was irritable, Long Yangjun hurriedly got up and said, "Shangjun, don't worry, the people I sent have not heard the accurate news yet... With King Zhao's temperament, Xinling Jun should not encounter such a situation. ”

"Hmm...", King Wei nodded.

Lying on the bed, King Wei tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and just fell asleep, a little boy appeared in front of him, crying for his brother. King Wei was awakened again, looking at the sleeping Long Yangjun beside him, King Wei sat on the bed, covered his forehead with his hands, and sighed.

At this moment, Xinlingjun is lying on the bed, drunkenly drinking wine, and two beautiful beauties are helping him massage his body. Sure enough, as soon as he was assassinated like this, King Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, although he didn't directly punish Zhao Bao and the others, but they didn't dare to kill Wei Wuji's people at will, and those officials who went to various places could also save their lives.

What Zhao Bao wants to do, Wei Wuji is clear, after all, by Zhao Bao's side, there are Wei Wuji's people. What Wei Wuji has to do now in Zhao State is to replace the nobles with officials, this practice, the most thorough, probably the Qin State, although the nobles of the Qin State will also be honored because of their status, but if they have no talent, they will not hold important official positions, especially in the counties, nobles almost do not exist.

The ministers in the counties were all capable ministers promoted by the King of Qin, with sufficient qualifications and the ability to do things, which was a kind of change and took away the power of the country from the hands of the nobles. Wei Wuji left the Wei State, and Zhao Sheng left the Zhao State, and neither of them had to hide their talents anymore, as if they had untied a bondage. Zhao Sheng was in Zhao State, because he was afraid that King Zhao would worry too much, so he could only hide his clumsiness, revealing an unscrupulous appearance of longing for fame.

And Wei Wuji, drinking and having fun all day long in Wei State, well, this is not pretending, he is indeed a good wine, but at the beginning, he drank just to make King Wei feel at ease, and now, Zhao Sheng can let go of his pursuit of fame, but Wei Wuji can't let go of the wine cup in his hand.

If Wei Wuji was in Wei State, he probably wouldn't dare to implement the law change so freely, after all, the nobles of Wei State are no less than those of Zhao State, and most of them are close relatives of Wei Wuji, but in Zhao State, he doesn't have much scruples, not to mention, he is also very interested in the way Zhao Kuo said to save the world. Wei Wuji lay on his bed, he was never afraid of his enemies, no matter how strong they were.

However, they also have their own fatal shortcomings, they are not like the nobles in the past, they have strong force, and they can even fight against the king, and now they are just pinning their hopes on the body of King Zhao, using some villainous methods to deal with themselves, but they are relying on the power of the entire Zhao country, and the nobles are unstoppable. It's just that it's a bit troublesome to deal with, after all, Wei Wuji can't put them all to death.

.......

"Wei Wuji must leave the Zhao Kingdom." , Zhao Bao said seriously. This time, he didn't set up a banquet, he vaguely felt that Wei Wuji seemed to know the result of their negotiations, he didn't dare to call all the people again, he suspected that someone had betrayed him, so this time, he just called a few of his relatives to the mansion, in the hidden room, to discuss the countermeasures against Wei Wuji, or against the change.

"Before Ma Fujun returns to Zhao State, Wei Wuji must be dealt with... If Ma Fujun comes back, with Ma Fujun's protection, we won't be able to deal with Wei Wuji...", someone said, Chang'an Jun looked at them in confusion, he somewhat understood, whether this Ma Fujun was a friend or an enemy, if it was an enemy, when these people talked about Ma Fujun, their eyes were full of admiration, and they did not hide their fanatical admiration for Ma Fujun.

If it is said to be a friend, I heard that this Ma Fujun is also a friend of Wei Wuji, and he is still a supporter of changing the law.

The same is true for Zhao Bao, he does not hide his respect for Ma Fujun, but he also hates the change very much, Zhao Bao squinted his eyes and whispered his plan....

And at this moment, Zhao Kuo also left South Korea, he wanted to take the rest of the Zhao soldiers and return to Zhao State, King Han was very reluctant, he really wanted Zhao Kuo to continue to stay by his side, and asked him for more knowledge, Zhang Ping was a little confused, he tried hard to persuade on weekdays, Shangjun was indifferent, why did Ma Fujun come to punch, Shangjun's change was so huge?

Zhao Kuo had no way to continue to stay in South Korea, and before leaving, he told King Han: If there is anything, please follow Zhang Ping's advice, don't act recklessly, and put state affairs first.

King Han stood at the gate of Xinzheng, watching Zhao Kuo lead the army away, until he couldn't see Zhao Kuo's trace, he didn't want to go back, Zhang Ping stood by his side, he saw Shangjun so respectful of a person for the first time, speaking of which, his heart was also a little sour, however, he quickly expelled this thought, Ma Fujun saved Korea, how could he be jealous of him? King Han looked into the distance, sighed, and asked, "Zhang Xiang... You say, is it possible for a widow to reign in the world? ”

Zhang Ping coughed violently, he looked at the ambitious King Han in surprise, his eyes widened, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "This... I don't know..."

"Then are you willing to help the widow to end the war?"

........

As soon as Zhao Kuo's army left South Korea, it was stopped, to be precise, blocked by the enemy.

Several officials of the Qin State, holding bamboo slips, stopped Zhao Kuo's carriage, and soon, they were brought to Zhao Kuo by Zhao Fu, Qin officials looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him with reverence, hurriedly took out the bamboo slips, and asked: "Ma Fujun... There are still a few things we don't understand about the principles of the Fa..."

The disciples were dumbfounded, if we remember correctly, now the Qin State and Ma Fujun are in a state of war???
