Chapter VIII The Great Liang of the Wei State

"General Baili, please get up!" Wei Jinyan jumped off the carriage, walked over quickly to help up the general who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at the general Baili in front of him, the two of them were silent for a long time and their eyes were wet, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and the heroic and mighty general Baili in his impression had gray temples.

Chu Xiaoyang was slightly surprised, he always felt that Wei Jinyan's identity was extraordinary, he must be either rich or expensive, he might be the queen of a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that he would be the prince of a dignified country.

"The general is old." Wei Jin said.

"Yes, the minister is old, I haven't seen you for seven years, and the Third Highness has grown up."

"The general has divided me, the general used to call me Jinyan, but now why has he changed his words, the general still calls me Jinyan."

"I don't dare. The minister has prepared an inn for the three highnesses to rest, and the three highnesses please come with me. ”

Baili Zhang's words are not divided with Wei Jin, to be precise, he has scruples, the current king of Wei is critically ill, the position of the prince has not been established, and the establishment of the prince as the prince has been a tradition that has been followed, but the eldest prince of the prince died in the battle with Zhao a few years ago, according to the tradition, the second prince should inherit the position of the prince, but the second prince has mediocre qualifications and is a wine bag and rice bag, the monarch of Wei is extremely disappointed by this, and the ministers in the court are speculating that the king of Wei intends to set up the third prince Wei Jinyan as the prince.

It's just that these three highnesses have not been in the court for many years, and have been practicing with their teachers in the mountains, and after so many years, I don't know what this virtue and character are, and whether he is talented enough to support him to inherit the position of the prince. The ministers in the court are panicked, the old king has not been in the court for a month, all the chapters are handled by the left prime minister Bai Jian alone, it can be described as a monstrous power, fortunately the good name of the left prime minister Bai Jian has already spread all over the world, saying that this virtuous and loyal minister, should be the left prime minister of Wei Bai Jian, so that those who want to spread rumors that the left prime minister Bai Jian wants to usurp the throne shut up.

Legend has it that the previous king of Wei was bent on pursuing the metaphysics of Taoism, the pursuit of seclusion, in his heart Bai Jian has eloquence and strategy, quite a powerful demeanor of governing the world, he learned from the three emperors and five emperors of Yao Shun Chan, wanted to give the throne of Wei to Bai Jian, and planned to write a holy decree to announce the world, the world was in an uproar, all said that Wei was destined to die soon, such absurd monarchs are going to harm the country sooner or later, and everyone in the world is looking at what Bai Jian does, just like watching a good show. Bai Jian said at the time, the king wants me to bear the infamy of usurping power, so that the minister is despised by the people of the world, if the king refuses to take back this holy decree, then the minister can only show his loyalty when he dies, to die to thank the world, in the severe winter of heavy snowfall, he simply knelt outside the palace for three days, the king of Wei was moved, withdrew his will, and devoted himself to governing the country in the next ten years, and gave birth to a prince, in the eleventh year completely secluded into the world, not paying attention to the troubles of the world.

At that time, Bai Jian was already the prime minister of Zuo, he wholeheartedly assisted the little prince to ascend the throne, assisted the king to govern the country, and now thirty years have passed, Bai Jian has already been gray and gray over sixty years old, he has the intention of returning to his hometown, but he did not expect that this Wei King in the prime of life could not afford to be ill, and he had to stay for the sake of the stability of the court. This Bai Jian can be said to be the great benefactor of the Wei State, if there is no Bai Jian, maybe there will not be the prosperity and wealth of the Wei State today, if Bai Jian has the intention of rebellion, he can be in this Wei King when he was young, colluded with the courtiers against the Wei family, but he did not do this, and now he is also a person who is about to enter the ground, no one believes that he will do this usurpation and rebellion. Bai Jian is the great benefactor of the Wei royal family, if there are idiots who don't have long eyes and say that this Bai Jian intends to rebel, it is better to say that Zhou Gongdan is a traitor, which makes people feel ridiculous and stupid.

"How did General Baili know that I was back in Beijing this time?"

Baili camphor was shocked when he heard this.

"Has the Third Highness ever received a letter from the king?"

"Never!"

"The Third Highness didn't know that the king suddenly fell seriously ill a month ago, and he had already secretly sent a message to the Third Highness to return to Beijing. The king was worried about the safety of His Highness, so he specially sent a minister to receive His Highness. If Your Highness does not receive the letter, I am afraid that the letter has been robbed by the gangsters. Thinking of this Baili camphor, he instantly felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly grabbed Wei Jinyan's arm, and looked at it carefully all over his body.

"Has the Third Highness encountered any accidents on the road? Has Your Highness ever been injured? ”

Although the second prince is said to be a mixed wine bag and rice bag, but there is the queen behind it, the mother of the second prince is the queen of the Wei country, and those ministers who tend to be inflammatory, are also willing to assist a puppet king, and now the only people in the court who can inherit the throne are the second prince Wei Jinyu and the third prince Wei Jinyan, who was originally the prince, died on the battlefield a few years ago, so it is inevitable that there will be worries about those with bad intentions harming Wei Jinyan.

"The general can rest assured that Jinyan is fine and has not been injured. By the way, I forgot to introduce it to the general, so come and meet the general. ”

Chu Xiaoyang, who was sitting in the carriage and eavesdropping on the speech, heard the words, jumped off the carriage, and walked over quickly.

"Senior brother, this is General Baili who taught me martial arts when I was a child. General, this is my fellow disciple who studied in the mountains with me, Chu Xiaoyang. ”

"Junior, Chu Xiaoyang, meet General Baili!"

"Baili Zhang has seen Gongzi, and Gongzi Chu can be described as a talent, a young hero."

"The general has won the prize!" Chu Xiaoyang returned the salute with a fist.

"The minister has already prepared an inn for His Royal Highness and Prince Chu to rest, and the Third Highness Prince Chu invites the minister to come."

The two stayed in the inn for two days, and then set off for Daliang, the capital of Wei, Wei Jinyan invited Chu Xiaoyang to go to Daliang to play, and Chu Xiaoyang was also happy to see this famous city in the world.

Daliang is worthy of being a famous city in the world, this capital is very lively, full of flowers, even this person looks energetic. Chu Xiaoyang has been practicing in the mountains for seven years, pulling Baili camphor around like a hillbilly and asking. What is this, what is that, and what is it keeps asking, Wei Jinyan is tired of listening to it, and he doesn't know how this Baili camphor feels.

Passing by the princess's mansion on this day, Wei Jinyan wanted to rush back to his father's side earlier, but he didn't know what his condition was now, but he was robbed by the people of the princess's mansion halfway. Wei Jinyan didn't think about it, and he was not in a hurry for this night, so he simply turned around and went to the princess's mansion.

The only princess of the dynasty was born to the same mother as the third highness, and the king of Wei favored the only princess, and the mansion given was the same area as the prince's mansion at that time, which shows the position of the princess in the heart of the king of Wei. It's a pity that the princess of Wei was widowed early, his husband died on the battlefield with the prince, in the battle with Zhao, Wei can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and Zhao did not take much advantage, in this Warring States Zhao and Wei are equal in strength, and Qin is a rising star, Qi is far eastern, South Ming has fallen in which war thirteen years ago, North Ming is slightly weaker, but it is also much stronger than small countries such as Zhongshan.

When the princess Wei Jinyu was waiting outside the mansion early, the little slave Ke'er on the side was also looking forward to the direction of the road, and she also wanted to see what the third highness of the Wei State looked like now.

"Mother, who are we waiting for?" The soft and cute little county lord was obediently held in the hands of the princess.

"Waiting for your uncle!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was wearing a golden hairpin and a gorgeous Luo skirt, was graceful and luxurious, she was noble and magnificent, holding the four- or five-year-old little county lord in her hand, she answered the words of the little county lord, and looked at the little county lord's eyes full of spoiling.

"Second uncle? Xiao Jin'er didn't like him. The little county lord pouted with an unhappy face.

"No, it's your third uncle!"

"Third uncle? Does Xiao Jin'er have a third uncle? ”

"Yes, third uncle, she is my mother's own brother!"

"Does the third uncle look as good-looking as his mother?"

"Silly boy, of course your third uncle is good-looking, when he was young, he looked better than his mother, and his mother hasn't seen your third uncle for many years, and I don't know what he looks like now."

"Xiao Jin'er also wants to see the third uncle, but why hasn't he come yet, Xiao Jin'er is tired of standing!"

"Then Xiao Jin'er, do you want to go back to the house to rest first?" Wei Jinyu squatted down and petted Xiao Jin'er's face.

"No, Xiao Jin'er wants to accompany her mother and wait for her uncle, Xiao Jin'er is not tired at all." Xiao Jin'er obediently rubbed Wei Jinyu's palm with her little face.

As he spoke, he saw the carriage rumbling coming, and Baili Zhang, who was riding on the horse, turned over and dismounted, strode and knelt on one knee.

"Minister, Baili Camphor has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"General, please get up!" Wei Jinyu hurriedly helped up Baili Zhang.

Wei Jinyu looked up and saw a young and handsome boy getting out of the carriage, a good silver satin on his body showed his luxury, holding a jade fan in his hand, carrying a sword at his waist, and the blood-red jade pendant was just right to hang on his waist, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, sharp edges and corners, a handsome and extraordinary elegant son. Behind him was a white-robed boy, who was also dignified, but quite heroic.

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Shang Wei Jinyu still recognized his younger brother at a glance, and the two sisters and brothers exchanged pleasantries, both with tears in their eyes.

Xiao Jinyan'er was a little scared, and kept hiding behind the princess, her little hands tightly grasping the princess's sleeve. But he couldn't stop being curious, and poked his head to look at the person who came.

"Hey, this little doll is really cute, why don't you hide and dare not see people." Chu Xiaoyang said with a smile.

"This child is a little scared, which makes Chu Gongzi smile, this is my child, I rely on me to call her Xiao Jin'er. Come, Xiao Jin'er call uncle well! ”

Xiao Jin'er was well-behaved, and obediently shouted hello uncle, this soft and glutinous words melted everyone's hearts, thinking that Xiao Jin'er was too likable.

"Isn't Xiao Jin'er going to see her uncle? This is Uncle! The princess pushed Xiao Jin'er in front of Wei Jinyan.

"This, sister, this is your child?" Wei Jinyan hesitated a little, remembering that when he went to the mountains to practice, his sister was not married.

"Yes, this is my child, her name is Shangguan Jin'er. Xiao Jin'er, call your uncle! ”

"Hello uncle!"

"Hahaha, I'm also an uncle!" Wei Jinyan happily hugged Xiao Jin'er.

"My mother really didn't lie to Xiao Jin'er, and my uncle really looks better than my mother. Xiao Jin'er likes the third uncle! ”

"Xiao Jin'er's mouth is so sweet, what a likable child." Wei Jinyan said with a smile.

"I think you're tired too, so I've already asked someone to prepare lunch, so I'll eat with me when I enter the house."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Chu Xiaoyang thanked Her Royal Highness the princess first!" Chu Xiaoyang bowed down.

"Master Chu must not see outsiders, you are the junior brother of the same sect as Jinyan, that is also my younger brother, don't treat yourself as an outsider."

"Sister Mo Li Xiaoyang, I know him best, he just said a few polite words, he is a big-tailed wolf, this cheeky is thick-skinned! Hahaha......"

"Hey, Wei Jinyan, you kid, don't dismantle my platform......"

"Look, you see, this is revealed again......"

The group talked and laughed and entered the princess's mansion.
