Chapter 111: Entering the Palace and Asking to See
Zhao Sheng looked at Hou Ying, who was leaving, and stopped talking, but finally shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Although he made a promise, Zhao Sheng did not think that what Hou Ying said could be realized one day.
And Zhao Sheng doesn't care about this now, for Zhao Sheng, finding a way to solve the crisis faced by Zhao Guo is the most important thing.
When Zhao Sheng walked out of the hall and was about to continue his journey of dog skin plaster, he received an unexpected piece of information from the subordinates of the Xinling Monarch's Mansion.
Wei Wuji entered the palace.
That's right, after this Xinling Jun left the table in anger and walked out of the gate, he immediately asked people to arrange carriages and horses and enter the palace to ask to see Wei Wangyu.
Wei Wuji, who was sitting on the carriage, walked through the Great Liang City under the escort of many guards, his face flickering in the light of the torches, and the weather was uncertain.
Although he disagreed with Hou Ying's rebellious words of "replacing him", there was one thing that Wei Wuji had to admit.
Wei Wuji's royal brother, Wei Wangyu, is really too short-sighted and too mediocre.
Judging by the standard of a monarch who keeps his success, Wei Wangyu is actually qualified.
But this is the Warring States Period, an era of sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!
Wei Wuji felt that he had to do something, he had to stop Wei Wangyu from making the decision to destroy Zhao by Qin, which would surely be endlessly criticized by future generations, and pull Wei back from that dark possibility!
So Wei Wuji decided to enter the palace immediately.
Wei Wuji's Xinling Mansion was not too far from the palace city of Wei, and half an hour later, Wei Wuji met his brother Wei Wangyu in a side hall of the Wei King's Palace.
When Wei Wangyu appeared in front of Wei Wuji, the expression on the face of this Wei King was actually not very good.
After all, it was already nightfall, and Wei Wangyu was still talking to Longyang Jun Gao Jiqing just now, when he was interrupted by Wei Wuji's audience.
No one would have any good face towards this interrupter when he and his lover were interrupted, especially when he saw Gao Ji's sad expression before Wei Wangyu left, the dissatisfaction with Wei Wuji in his heart rose more and more.
Men understand men better, so when a man like Gao Ji puts on a sad and miserable look, the lethality will be even more terrible than a woman's coquettishness.
But Wei Wuji didn't know about it, in fact, even if he did, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
In Wei Wuji's opinion, the fate of Wei is much more important than the feeling of Wei Wangyu's male pet.
Born as a seven-foot man, he didn't want to serve the king with a three-foot long sword, but he went to learn from that woman's family to compete for favor and flattery, which is ridiculous!
After the two of them finished their salutes, they each sat down.
To Wei Wuji's surprise, Wei Wangyu actually took the initiative to speak.
I saw Wei Wangyu say to Wei Wuji: "Xinling Jun is here, but it's for Changping?" β
Wei Wuji glanced at Wei Wangyu with some surprise and nodded.
In fact, for the Battle of Changping, the two brothers have met a lot more recently than in previous years.
Normally, when Wei Wuji began to mention the matter of Changping, Wei Wangyu's face would show a very unhappy expression, and then there would be an argument between the two, and then the two would break up unhappily.
This kind of drama has been played out many times in the past few months, and it is almost always a routine.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Wangyu took the initiative to mention this matter to surprise Wei Wuji, because few people take the initiative to mention something that makes them very unhappy.
Wei Wangyu seemed to remember something happy, the original haze on his face was instantly swept away, revealing a somewhat smug expression, and smiled at Wei Wuji: "Xinling Jun, today the Qin envoy came to visit the widow again, do you know what the Qin envoy and the widow said?" β
Wei Wuji said: "I don't know. β
Wei Wang Yu laughed, a strange expression flashed on his face, although he paused obviously, but he still spoke: "Xinling Jun can hear the yin affairs of King Zhao, but he can't hear the yin affairs of the widow?" β
Obviously, although several years have passed, that incident still left enough shadows in Wei Wangyu's heart.
Wei Wuji lowered his head slightly: "The minister doesn't dare." β
"Don't dare?" Wei Wang Yu smiled and glanced at Wei Wuji meaningfully: "I can't imagine that there are still things in this world that Xinling Jun dare not do." β
Wei Wuji's head hung even lower.
There was a moment of silence in the side hall.
Although Wei Wuji lowered his head, he could feel that Wei Wangyu's gaze had been wandering around his body.
That gaze seemed a little burning.
What was Wei Wangyu thinking? Wei Wuji didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
After a long time, Wei Wangyu finally spoke again: "The Qin envoy is here with Qin Wangji's words. β
Wei Wuji raised his head and said, "What does Qin Wangji have to say to the king?" β
A smug smile appeared on Wei Wangyu's face again, and he said to Wei Wuji: "The Qin envoy told the widow that if the widow is willing to send troops to join Qin, then Qin Wangji is willing to cut Tao County to Wei. β
Tao Jun, this is the new condition that Qin Wangji made after discussing with Fan Sui and other important ministers of Qin in the Xianyang Palace not long ago.
Now, the envoy of the Qin State conveyed this condition to Wei Wangyu, and then relayed it to Wei Wuji from Wei Wangyu's mouth.
Wei Wuji's body was shocked, and he looked at Wei Wangyu in disbelief: "Tao Jun? β
Wei Wangyu nodded very affirmatively, and the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously rose several angles: "It's Taojun." The Qin envoy has made it clear that as long as the widow is willing to send troops to Qin, the day when the widow sends troops will be the time when Tao County will return to Wei! β
Wei Wuji was stunned.
Qin was actually willing to cede Tao County?
That's Tao County!
The eastern military base of the Qin State, which can effectively clamp down on the two countries of Qi and Chu and divide the Wei State into two halves, the Tao County with a population of more than 200,000 and a degree of wealth no less than any county in the world!
The importance of Tao County to the Qin State may not be enough to say for a while.
But it was such an important county, and it was actually used by Qin Wangji as a condition for sending troops, and it was promised to Wei!
It's reallyβthat's a lot of money.
And even Wei Wuji himself has to admit that compared to the previous Yuan Yong, the condition of Taojun offered by Qin Wangji now is really too sincere.
The condition thrown out by the people of the Qin State was so favorable that the thoughts in Wei Wuji's heart turned a thousand times, but for a while, he couldn't even think of anything to refute.
Wei Wangyu looked at Wei Wuji with interest, and seemed very satisfied with Wei Wuji's shocked expression.
To be honest, Wei Wangyu was really tired of the feeling that Wei Wuji brought to Wei Wangyu every time he consulted him with different opinions.
Every time Wei Wuji spoke out against it, although the expression on his face was indeed respectful, it always gave Wei Wangyu an inexplicable pressure.
The appearance of this expression was as if Wei Wuji was silently telling Wei Wangyu: "The wisdom of the king is not as good as Wuji." And listen to the words of Mowgli, Fang is the right way. β
This feeling made Wei Wangyu very, very unhappy, because it always made Wei Wangyu feel that he was a fool.
No one wants to be seen as a fool.
Obviously, the widow is the king, and the widow is the eldest brother, why do you Wei Wuji like to oppose the opinion of the widow every time, and keep saying that it is for the good of the widow and the good of the Wei country!
As long as you Wei Wuji knows that for the good of Wei State, the widow is the king of Wei State, so you don't know that it is for the good of Wei State?
You must know that fighting a war is not something that you Wei Wuji can decide casually, war requires the mobilization of soldiers and labor, the mobilization of many people, and the need to consume a lot of grain, grass and money in the Wei treasury.
War needs to be harvested, and if you can't get anything from fighting, it will only waste national strength in vain!
Helping Zhao Guo sounds very good, but what can the widow get after consuming national strength to help Zhao Guo?
Nothing!
If you can help Qin to destroy Zhao, you can get Tao County, the Tao County known to the whole world for its rich name.
After having Tao County, the widow will be able to bring the national strength of Wei to a higher level, and will allow Wei to hope to reproduce the prosperity of the past.
You Wei Wuji don't understand these at all!
Wei Wangwei stared at Wei Wuji with blazing eyes.
Wei Wuji's face turned pale and uncertain, and he obviously looked like he was thinking about something.
This made Wei Wangyu's heart secretly refreshed.
The hard work of the widow, you Wei Wuji don't know at all.
Since this is the case, then let the widow teach you a good lesson today, and use the facts to tell you that you Wei Wuji is wrong!
The widow is the right one!
But this kind of darkness in Wei Wangyu's heart only lasted for less than a few minutes.
After a few minutes, Wei Wuji seemed to understand something, and the expression on his face quickly became firm, and he raised his head and refocused his gaze on Wei Wangyu's body.
"The king said this, and Wuji didn't dare to agree."
Wei Wuji's words sounded very affirmative.
The smile on Wei Wangyu's face disappeared in an instant.
