Chapter 32: Guarding (II)
At the end of March, Wei gathered a large army on the border between Wei and Wei, and did not hide it from the world.
After the news was transmitted back to the capital of the country, Diqiu (now Puyang, Henan), it frightened the monarch of the country.
Hurriedly brought his younger brother Wei Nan to discuss countermeasures.
"My brother, now that the Wei Wangyu has asked the Wei army to gather at the border of our country, it seems that he wants to conquer my country, how should I deal with it?" Wei Gongqi asked his younger brother Wei Nan.
Wei Nan thought for a moment, bowed down and said to Wei Wangyu:
"Your Excellency, last time the State of Wei sent an envoy to defend the country and asked the State of Wei to go to the capital of the State of Wei, the Great Lord, but the Lord refused politely. The younger brother thought that this time the Wei army pressed the border, it must be because of this incident that annoyed Wei Wangyu. ”
"However, this time the Wei army has gathered a large army on the border of our country, and the king does not need to be anxious. My country is now the vassal state of Yan State, and the strength of Yan State is beyond the imagination of the world, which is what my brother has seen. ”
"Your Majesty, on the one hand, I can send an envoy to Yan State to inform the Yan State court of this matter. Let Yan Wang Kang inform Wei Guo and let him not offend my country. ”
"On the other hand, you can summon the envoy of Wei in Diqiu and ask him to tell Wei Wangyu that I have no intention of offending Wei when I defend the country. If Wei Wangyu has any requirements for me to defend the country, I will do it if I can defend the country. ”
After listening to the words of his younger brother Wei Nan, he thought about it, and there was no other way.
I had to say to Wei Nan's family: "What my brother said is extremely true, so let's do it according to this!" ”
As a small country among the great powers, the defense of the country can be said to have tried its best to avoid the covetousness of the great powers.
Take the "title" of Wei Guojun as an example, in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Wei Jun's title was "Gong".
At a time when the kings of all countries in the world have claimed to be kings, Wei Guo has degraded himself to the title of "Hou".
In the eyes of the monarch and the prince of the country, I am like this, and if you bully me to defend the country again, you can't say anything.
The envoy of Wei in Diqiu, after being summoned by Wei Gongqi, immediately sent someone back to Daliang, the capital of Wei, and reported it to Wei Wangyu.
The distance between the Great Liang of the capital of Wei and the Emperor Hill of the capital of Wei is very close, and if you are fast, it will take less than two days.
After reading the documents of the Wei Gong period, Wei Wangyu discussed the matter with Shangqing Zhou Xin and Ling Zhi.
"Zhou Qing, Ling Qing, it seems that Wei Guo is afraid of my Wei State, and my army has not yet been gathered, so this Wei Gong period will personally write a document to ask the widow for mercy. Look at this matter, how should I deal with it? ”
Zhou Xin pondered for a moment and said to Wei Wangyu:
"Great King, if my Wei State wants to occupy the Wei Kingdom, I must make all the countries in the world have nothing to say. Especially now that Wei is a vassal state of Yan State, my Wei State cannot offend Yan State too much. ”
"In the opinion of the ministers, now the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom must be afraid of my Wei State to defend the country. My king can give the Wei Guojun Wei Gong a chance to come to the capital of my Wei State. ”
"As long as the monarch of the Wei Kingdom comes to my Liang, my Wei State can still implement the strategy of the original ministers, and let the Wei Gong period send the Wei State to my Wei State. All my king needs to do is give the monarch a nominal fief. ”
"After Duke Wei came to my Wei State Liang, my king can ask him to sign the agreement and allow my Wei State to get Wei Land. In this way, it can be said that it is justified. The countries of the world have nothing to say to me, Wei. Even the Yan State is helpless against my Wei State. ”
"If he is not willing to come to my Wei country, he will despise my king. If my king doesn't crusade against the country, where is the face of my Wei country? Your Majesty, what the ministers have seen, please enlighten the king. ”
After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Shangqing Lingzhi bowed down to Wei Wangyu and said, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." ”
Wei Wangyu laughed out loud and said to Shangqing Zhou Xin and Ling Zhi:
"Just deal with the matter of defending the country according to Zhou Qing's policy! Immediately send an envoy to the Emperor Hill, the capital of the country, and let the emperor of the country come to my beam. Tell this Wei Gong period that as long as he is willing to come to my Wei State, the widow can not crusade against Wei Guo. ”
Shangqing Zhou Xin and Ling Zhi bowed down to answer: "No." ”
After receiving the letter from Wei Wangyu, Wei Gongji, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom, said to his younger brother Wei Nan:
"My brother, now Wei Wangyu has sent a letter to me to Daliang, what can I do?"
After Wei Nan read the documents sent by Wei Wangyu, he didn't have any good plans to deal with this matter.
After thinking about it, he had to say to Wei Gongqi: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have to go to the Great Liang of Wei State." The younger brother thought that as long as the king went up to the beam and calmed the anger of Wei Wangyu, I should be able to defend the country without worry, and there is Yan Guo behind my defense. ”
Wei Gongqi nodded, and said to his younger brother Wei Nan:
"My brother, in this case, I will go to the Great Liang of Wei to see what Wei Wangyu wants to do!"
Wei Gongqi replied to the envoy sent by Wei, saying that he was willing to go to Daliang, the capital of Wei, to discuss the affairs of the two countries with Wei Wangyu.
After delaying until early May, Wei Gongqi saw that he couldn't drag it out, so he took a car to Daliang, the capital of Wei.
When Wei Wangyu saw that Wei Gongji came to Daliang, he set up a banquet to entertain Wei Guojun and his party.
At the end of the banquet, Wei Wangyu finally showed his "fangs" and asked people to put the documents prepared in advance and let the waiters put them on the case table of the Wei Gong period of the monarch of the country and let him sign it.
And said to Wei Gongqi: "Wei Jun, today, the world of great controversy. The defense of the country is based on my Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Chu, and I am afraid that I will not be able to die well. Why don't Wei Jun dedicate Wei Di to my Wei State, the widow will treat Wei Jun well, can you? ”
When Wei Gongzhi looked at the content of the document, he let himself take the initiative to dedicate the territory of Wei to Wei, and Wei Gongzhi's hands trembled. After listening to Wei Wangyu's words again, he was even more sweaty.
Wei Gongqi said angrily to Wei Wangyu:
"Great King, although my Wei Kingdom is small, like Wei State, I was made a prince by the Son of Heaven. Over the years, my Weiguo can be said to have a lot of respect for Wei. As long as it is the request of the Wei State, I will abide by it, so why should the king force people too much? ”
After Wei Wangyu heard the words of the Wei Gong Period, he was furious:
"You have been defending the country for so many years, and you have been able to survive because of the care of my Wei State. Now that the Son of Heaven is dead, you actually sent someone to take the initiative to become the vassal state of Yan State. If you do this, where will you put my Wei Kingdom? ”
"Wei Gongqi, the widow knows that you underestimate my Wei State in your heart. I think that my Wei royal family is a marginal small sect with the surname Ji, and your Weiguo and Yan royal families are both authentic with the surname Ji, and they are not worthy of your allegiance to defend the country. ”
"Today, the widow told you that you have to sign this treaty if you want to, and you have to sign it if you don't want to. Otherwise, today will be the day of your death. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Wangyu pointed to the silk documents on the case of the Wei Gong period, and continued to say in the Wei Gong period:
"Wei Gongji, this matter is just a gesture for you. As long as you sign and press your handprint, you can live a life. ”
At this time, the monarch of the country already knew that this matter was difficult to be good.
Straightened out the crown on his head, shook his head at Wei Wangyu, and said slowly:
"The sin of the ages, this gentleman can't sign."
Wei Wangyu looked at Wei Gongqi and said to him: "Sign, you can live; If you don't sign, you will die. Do you sign, or don't sign? ”
Wei Gongqi shook his head again at Wei Wangyu and said, "This gentleman doesn't sign." ”
Seeing this, Wei Wangyu was very angry and shouted: "Come on, take this person down to the widow." ”
Several palace guards in the hall poured into the hall and surrounded the Wei Gongji.
Wei Wangyu pointed to Wei Gongqi and said: "Gongqi Lao'er, the widow asked you one last time, do you sign this word or not?" ”
Wei Guojun Wei Gongqi laughed a few times, spat at Wei Wangyu, and said loudly:
"A despicable country, a shameless king, this monarch does not sign."
Wei Wangyu was really angry, and roared loudly:
"Pull this person out to this king, cut it down, and order Jin Sui to lead the army to attack the country."
Shangqing Zhou Xin hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade: "King, don't!" ”
Wei Wangyu waved his hand at the palace guards, not listening to Shangqing Zhou Xin's dissuasion.
The first year of Yan Wang Kang (254 B.C.), May.
During the reign of Wei Gong, the forty-second monarch of the Wei Dynasty, he was killed when he went to Daliang to meet the king of Wei.
Subsequently, Jin Sui led 100,000 Wei troops to attack the country.
Wei Jun's younger brother Wei Nan, with the national seal, fled to Yan in a hurry.
The defense of the country was destroyed.
