Chapter 35: Wei Wuji's Suffering
When Zhao Sheng heard Wei Wuji's words, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did Wuji say this!" ”
Zhao Sheng knew that his brother-in-law Wei Wuji was a very staunch pro-Zhao faction in the Wei political arena, and he had always advocated Lian Zhao to resist Qin, if even Wei Wuji said that this matter was a little troublesome, then this matter would be really very troublesome.
Wei Wuji was silent, and it wasn't until Zhao Sheng asked again and again that Wei Wuji waved back and sighed: "The Plains Monarch is in the phase of Zhao State, and he has a high and powerful position, but he doesn't know Wuji's difficulties!" ”
What was the difficulty of this famous Xinling monarch, Wei Wuji, that he seemed so embarrassed when facing his brother-in-law?
This matter has to start with Wei Wuji's father, the heir of the previous generation of Wei monarchs, King Wei Zhao.
King Wei Zhao had many sons, but in the end, only two people were included in the list of heirs by King Wei Zhao, the eldest son Gongzi Yu was more stable, and the younger son Gongzi Wuji was more intelligent.
After some entanglement, King Wei Zhao, who knew that his time was short, felt that Wei Wuji was still young after all, so he finally appointed his eldest son Gongzi Yu as the crown prince. After the death of King Wei Zhao, Gongzi Yu succeeded to the throne, which is the current Wei monarch Wei Wangyu.
When the king of Wei succeeded to the throne at the beginning, the Xiangbang of Wei was the oldest Meng Weijun Tianwen among the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States".
Meng Weijun Tianwen, although he is extremely famous in later generations, should even belong to the most famous one among the four gentlemen of the Warring States in later generations. But if the patriotic spirit of future generations looks at him, he should be able to give him the title of "Wang Jingwei of Qi State".
Tian Wen is the grandson of King Qi Wei, the royal family of Qi, and once the prime minister of Qi. Later, due to a disagreement with the then monarch of Qi State, Tian Wen resigned from the Qi State and left Wei.
As a result, Tian Wen held a grudge against his cousin King Qi, and after the destruction of the Song Dynasty by Qi caused public anger, Tian Wen, who was then the prime minister of Wei, actively contacted the other four countries and formed a powerful "Five Kingdoms to Conquer Qi".
The five countries are together, and militarily led by the famous Yan general Le Yi, and the reason why the Five Nations Alliance can be established is that Tian Wen is also a great contributor in diplomacy.
The Five Kingdoms Invasion of Qi led to the decline of Qi's last hegemony, and even Qi was almost destroyed by Yan because of this, relying on the immortal genius Anping Juntian Shan to successfully restore the country.
And all this is just because of Tian Wen's hatred for his cousin Qi Wang Tiandi.
Relying only on his own hatred, regardless of his identity as a Qi royal family, he did not hesitate to let his motherland Qi fall into an embattled and desperate situation, Meng Weijun Tianwen's title of "Wang Jingwei of Qi State" can be said to be well-deserved.
For such a person, Wei Wangyu, the new monarch of Wei who is very suspicious, is obviously very uneasy.
You Tian Wen went crazy and even killed your cousin, and your motherland was destroyed, so one day my Wei Wangyu made you unhappy, do you Tian Wen also want to make me Wei like this again?
So in order to restrain Tian Wen, who was still the prime minister of Wei at that time, Wei Wangyu thought about it and decided to support his younger brother Wei Wuji.
So Wei Wangyu named Wei Wuji as the king of Xinling, and at the same time used Wei Wuji a lot, letting Wei Wuji go to fight with Tian Wen for power.
Wei Wuji, who was just an adult at the time, did not live up to his brother's expectations, he successfully gained a firm foothold in the Wei political arena in just a few years with his outstanding talents, developed a large number of ministers as his own power, and finally succeeded in overthrowing Tian Wen, forcing Tian Wen to hand over the Wei Xiangyin and return to the fiefdom.
After returning to the fiefdom, Tian Wen died soon after being depressed, and after Tian Wen's death, Qi and Wei immediately joined forces to raze Tian Wen's fiefdom and beheaded Tian Wen's family.
It stands to reason that things have developed to this point, and the big devil Meng Weijun has also been brought down, so the next thing should be a happy ending for brothers, friends and brothers, and the monarchs and ministers of Wei to make Wei rise again, right?
But no.
When Tian Wen was still in control of the power of Wei, because he had a common enemy, Wei Wangyu trusted Wei Wuji very much, but after Tian Wen's death, Wei Wangyu's suspicion was committed again.
If Wei Wangyu trusts his younger brother enough, then Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji are likely to be like the brothers Zhao Huiwen and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.
Because Tian Wen was overthrown, those guys who were originally attached to Tian Wen changed their faces and defected to Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, Wei Wuji both in prestige and power instantly rose to a big level, although he was not named Xiangbang, but his actual power was more than that of Xiangbang.
So in Wei Wangyu's heart, his younger brother Wei Wuji became the second Tian Wen, and became another object that needed to be suppressed.
In the following years, Wei Wuji's life was very unhappy. The distrust of the monarch put the Xinling monarch under a lot of pressure, and many of the powers that originally belonged to him (such as military power) were also withdrawn, and the ministers of Wei Wuji's faction in the entire Wei political scene were constantly purged, and now at least half of the Wei ministers are Wei Wuji's political enemies.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much Wei Wuji wanted to resist Qin, but due to the suspicion of the King of Wei and the opposition of his political enemies, this matter was actually very difficult to do.
In fact, at the beginning of the Battle of Changping, things were not so bad. Wei Wuji, relying on his influence and the alliance between Wei and Zhao, once moved Wei Wangyu and asked Wei Wangyu to plan to send the general Jin Contempt to lead an army to aid Zhao.
But what Wei Wuji never expected was that just when Jin was about to send troops, news came from the Qin State that Zhao Wangdan, the monarch of Zhao State, had sent Zheng Zhu as a peace envoy and had arrived in Xianyang!
After hearing the news, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State instantly felt that they were being put together.
You Zhao Guo are going to make peace with Qin State, and you still come to me Wei State to move rescue troops? When I'm a Wei person, I'm stupid X, isn't it, when I'm a Wei person, I'm a good one?
So the angry monarchs and ministers of Wei immediately formed a resolution to save Zhao? I, Wei sent a soldier to save you, and Zhao Guo counted me as losing!
Wei Wuji was also quite speechless when he heard the news, maybe this is the so-called pig teammate.
This is why when Zhao Dan sent someone to borrow grain later, Wei Guo refused directly without thinking about it.
In short, after such a series of events, the monarchs and ministers of Wei were already very resistant to saving Zhao.
If it weren't for Wei Wuji's desperate advice, maybe Wei Wangyu would have torn up the alliance with Zhao at this moment, and he would even be ready to take advantage of the fire to rob and march into Zhao.
When Wei Wuji said this, he spread his hands a little helplessly, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, in your opinion, what should be the solution to this game?" ”
When this sentence came out, Zhao Sheng was also asked.
Zhao Sheng is also a relatively self-aware person, and he knows that his talent is not as good as Wei Wuji.
So this time Zhao Sheng's idea in Wei was actually very simple, that is, to hug the thigh of his brother-in-law Xinling Jun Wei Wuji tightly, let the brother-in-law charge into battle, and just wave the flag and shout behind him.
After all, Zhao Sheng's wife is the sister born to Wei Wuji's mother, and the relationship between the sister and brother is very good.
But now that Wei Wuji has said that this matter is difficult to do, what else can he do?
Zhao Sheng was stunned for a long time, and finally could only let out a helpless wry smile.
"That being the case, let's wait for me to meet King Wei tomorrow, and then talk to him about it."
