Chapter 6: Returning Home (II)
As one of the "Four Great Sons of the World", Xinling Jun is arrogant.
Seeing that his sister sent someone to persuade him, he didn't want to get along with Mao Gong and Xue.
Naturally, I understood that this was the meaning of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.
As the saying goes: the Tao is different, not the same. Since I have such different views from my sister and brother-in-law, then I believe that Lingjun will not stay in your Zhao Kingdom, and I will leave with my guests.
I heard that Xinlingjun was leaving, but Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was frightened.
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji is now in the eyes of the world, but his reputation is very high.
Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, knew that the prestige and appeal of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, were unmatched not only in the Wei State, but also in the Zhao State.
Even if he thinks that Mao Gong and Xue Gong are rubbish, and people think that Lingjun is a treasure, then it is definitely a treasure.
In this regard, don't say that in the Zhao Kingdom, even in the Central Plains countries, no one will question Xinling Jun.
If the world learns that it is Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and forces Xinling Jun away because of this incident, then Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng himself will be disgraced. Zhao will also be in a diplomatic dilemma because of this.
So Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, hurriedly came to the door in person and came to the house of Xinlingjun in Handan.
apologized to Wei Wuji for taking off his hat and tried his best to keep it.
Zhao Sheng bowed to Wei Wuji and said: "Xinlingjun, this is Zhao Sheng's eyes and beads, in Handan for decades, I don't know Mao and Xue Ergong's sages, in the future, I, Zhao Sheng, will definitely learn more from Xinlingjun, please Xinlingjun must stay." ”
Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng's "crisis public relations" finally worked, after all, Pingyuanjun was his brother-in-law, and Wei Wuji didn't want to embarrass his eldest sister and brother-in-law too much because of this matter, so he finally agreed to Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng and still stayed in Zhao State.
But the bad effects of this matter have already been done. In addition, Pingyuan Jun was criticized because of the Battle of Changping and this year's Yan felling. The status of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, in the Zhao State has plummeted since then.
Half of the guests under Zhao Sheng's door of Pingyuan Jun actually left him and switched to Xinling Jun's door. Xinlingjun actually accepted it without any scruples, and those who came did not refuse. Not only the celebrities of the Zhao Kingdom, but also the celebrities of the world began to rush to Xinlingjun first.
As a result, a miraculous thing happened, Xinling Jun, the idle prince of Wei who had no power and no position and lived in Zhao State, his disciples far surpassed Zhao Xiangpingyuanjun, and even surpassed Meng Weijun of Qi State, who had the most monks in the past, and became the most cultivated scholar in the Warring States.
The place where Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, lived in Handan, and thus became a place where scholars from all over the world gathered.
When Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, saw this, his heart was very bitter. After Xinlingjun came to Handan, his reputation among the people in the world has been declining day by day, and now even the corners of the wall are being dug up by Xinlingjun, but what can he do?
In this era, people with lofty ideals in the world are so free-spirited.
If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go.
Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, not only could not retaliate against the doormen who ran away, but also had to send the doormen out of the door.
Finally, I have to say: "The door of my Plains Monarch's Mansion is always open to you, sir." ”
For this year's call of Wei and Zhao corresponding to the Qin State, even the move of cutting down Yan, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling who lived in Zhao, was very disappreciative and sighed.
In a gathering with Mao Gong and Xue Gong, Wei Wuji said to the two:
"Wei and Zhao are really foolish not to guard against the Qin State in the west, but to attack the Yan State. Wei and Zhao Lianyan resisted Qin, and Guozuo could still survive; But like now, even Qin Kangyan, Guozuo will not be guaranteed. ”
The development of things was really as Xin Lingjun expected, and the armies of the five countries of the Central Plains attacked Yan and were defeated by the Yan army.
In any case, the territory of the Qin State did not border the Yan State, and the national strength was strong, although the losses were great, but the Qin State was not in danger of losing the country because of the defeat in this battle.
However, for Wei and Zhao, who Wei Wuji cared about, it would be dangerous to face the powerful Yan State.
After the Great War of Cutting Yan Together, the Yan State completely recovered the inherent territory of Weidi, and for the Wei State, the barrier in the east of Daliang, the capital of the Wei State, was lost, and the Wei State can be said to be extremely embarrassed.
When Wei Wangyu sent someone to Handan to persuade Wei Wuji to return to China to serve, Wei Wuji refused on the spot.
Although Xin Lingjun was anxious about the situation in Wei at this time, he was afraid of Wei Wangyu and did not truly and completely forgive himself. I also felt that I was wearing a guilty body and returned to China without shame.
Therefore, Xinlingjun was reluctant to leave for China.
Xinlingjun is not a person who is afraid of death, if he is afraid of death, in the battle of Handan that year, he will not only take his thousands of guests, but also want to go to Handan City to find the Qin army desperately. fervor
At this time, he was reluctant to return to China, because he did not want to die in vain. I don't want to be labeled as a traitor after I die.
The disciples under Xin Lingjun all had the intention of protecting themselves, and they didn't dare to come out to persuade Xin Lingjun one by one. If Xinlingjun were to be executed after returning to Wei, they would be sinners through the ages.
The news of Wei Wuji's refusal to return to Wei reached the ears of his two "New Year's friends" Mao Gong and Xue Gong in Handan City, and the two came to Wei Wuji's mansion in Handan to visit Xinling Jun.
Wei Wuji was very happy when he heard that Mao Gong and Xue Gong had arrived, and personally welcomed the two into the front hall.
After the three of them sat down, Mao Gong and Xue Gong said directly to Xinling Jun:
"The reason why Gongzi is highly respected in Zhao and even in the world and famous among the princes is because of Gongzi's hometown of Wei. Now, in the face of the threat from the east and west of Yan and Qin, Wei has reached a life-and-death juncture. ”
"His homeland is in danger, and Childe doesn't care about it. If Daliang City, the capital of Wei, is attacked and the Wei State is destroyed, the temple of Wei will no longer be kept, and what face will the prince have to live in the world? ……”
Before Mao Gong and Xue Gong finished speaking, Xin Lingjun's face changed.
Suddenly stood up and shouted to the outside: "Come on, prepare the car, go back to the girder." ”
This is really a word to wake up the people in their dreams, the great talent lost the country, and finally became a rotten wood. Compared to the survival of the Wei State, what is the life and death of my Wei Wuji? No matter, even if Brother Wang hasn't forgiven me, then I can't care so much, return to China, return to China immediately!
The van car that Wei Wuji was riding in was galloping rapidly on the field leading to Daliang in Handan, and the city tower of Daliang in the capital of Wei was near, and Xinlingjun's mood was complicated and inexplicable, as if all the internal organs were tangled together.
He is like an arrow, but he is timid.
Familiar scenery, constantly passing by the car. For example, Ji committed suicide by stealing talismans, Hou Ying said goodbye to himself, Zhu Hai hammered and killed the general Jin Contempt, and the scene five years ago kept passing through Wei Wuji's mind.
It's been five years, and it's been five years since I left you, my homeland.
In the past five years, I have missed you, loved you, resented you, and missed you, but I just couldn't return to your arms. Now that I'm back, I'm finally back, do you remember me, my homeland? Will you still accept me, my brother?
The news of Wei Wuji's return to China spread back to Daliang, and the entire Daliang City suddenly became lively.
Wei Wangyu, Shangqing Zhou Xin, Ling Zhi and other Wei courtiers, as well as the people of Daliang City, poured out of the city.
Many people want to see what this legendary Xinling Jun looks like.
Finally, the van in which Xinlingjun was riding stopped outside the north gate, and Wei Wuji stepped out of the van and set foot on this familiar and unfamiliar land again. The familiar Great Liang Yimen appeared in front of Wei Wuji's eyes.
A strong sourness kept welling up in Wei Wuji's heart, and tears swirled in his eyes.
He quickly lowered his head, not wanting others to discover his gaffe.
When Wei Wuji raised his head again, what he saw was his royal brother, Wei Wangyu, with an increasingly old face and a pair of red and swollen teary eyes.
Wei Wuji has never seen Wei Wangyu like this since he was a child.
"Mowgli......" Wei Wang Yu shouted at Xin Lingjun in a hoarse voice.
Xin Lingjun couldn't hold back any longer, only to feel that the tear duct was stabbed hard, and suddenly, his eyes were blurred and his cheeks were moist.
Two big men, in front of hundreds of officials and ministers and the people of the city, wept like children.
At this moment, in the hearts of the two brothers, what royal power and wealth, what merit is the master, what stealing talismans to save Zhao, what Yecheng seizing the army, all the past grievances and grievances have gone with the wind and are no longer important.
At this moment, they are not the King of Wei and the Prince, they are just a pair of ordinary brothers in the world.
The two brothers quarreled for five years, and now they have finally reconciled.
Five years ago, we were brothers; Five years later, we're still brothers.
Flesh and blood affection, no one can change.
In the second year of Yan Wangkang (253 B.C.), the beginning of October.
Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who had been stranded in Zhao for five years, returned to the Wei capital of Daliang.
