Chapter 70: The Conspiracy to Defeat Qin (3)
Three days later, the official office of Anyi City, which had been quiet, suddenly became lively.
As soon as the gate of Anyi was opened, countless cavalry carrying the banner of "urgent" on their backs started from the official office, da-da-da-da, galloped towards the city gate, and then swarmed out, scattered to the counties, and drove away.
Wang Ying of Wei, who had not convened a dynasty for several months, suddenly ordered the Ministry of Wei to summon the principal officials of Wei, together with the princes and ministers, to convene a great court meeting in the Shunde Hall of Wei on the fifteenth day of this month, that is, five days later.
Originally, the Great Dynasty Meeting would be held once a month in the Wei State.
It's just that recently, because Wei Wangying is behind the scenes, the original court meeting has become a formality. As a result, most of the government affairs of the state were handled by the ministers of the Wei state, in their respective offices, together with the secretaries and supervisors of the Wei cabinet.
At first, the hundred officials still had a lot of complaints, after all, the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties were diligent in government affairs, how can they be like Wei Wangying is now doing nothing, and be a monarch who only knows pleasure. What's more, in the world, there is also a Qi State that faintly threatens the Wei State, and it is eyeing him by his side.
However, after a period of time, the ministers of the Wei court not only did not continue to complain, but praised the rule of Wei Wangying's vertical arch, saying that the holy king was in the court, and he was subject to the virtue of Haotian, and the balance of the world was in line with the general trend of yin and yang.
After all, once the king does nothing, then the power in the hands of the ministers will gradually increase, which should be what the ministers who strive for power want to see.
But now that the King of Wei suddenly convened a court meeting, and recalled it together with the county magistrates, it looked like something big was going to happen in the court.
Immediately, those ministers who secretly rejoiced because of Wei Wangying's decentralization of power and were bent on flies and dogs were flustered, for fear that Wei Wangying would start to settle accounts after the autumn.
So the ministers of Wei, who are usually high-minded, are like cunning and greedy businessmen at this time, secretly contacting each other, walking around, trying to wipe their horses and feet, and waiting for the convening of the great court meeting with anxiety.
And at home, the fox was suspicious for a few days, but the tossing and turning Gongzi Wei was different, and after learning that Wei Wangying held a court meeting, he breathed a sigh of relief. Because he knew that his mean and unkind brother had finally made a decision in the past few days, and the final result was exactly what he expected.
Knock knock..., the great court meeting of the Wei State began in the bell and drum.
After a few days of hard work by the officials, the officials from all over the country finally arrived at Anyi on time, and at this time, they waited in two neat columns outside the Wei Palace, and then slowly walked towards the Shunde Hall in the solemn bell.
"King Wei arrives".
"My king is ten thousand years, Wei is ten thousand years", the Shunde hall has already been crowded with Wei ministers wearing different colors of court clothes, at this time I saw Wei Wang Ying holding up the honor guard behind him, his face was serious, Long Wei Yan Yan walked over, looking majestic, suddenly held his breath, and quickly knelt down and said loudly.
"Zhongqing is flat", Wei Wangying climbed on the steps of the hall, solemnly collected his wide sleeves, and then turned to look at the ministers in the hall and said in a deep voice, the appearance of the tiger made the ministers in the palace suddenly feel frightened.
You must know that in the past, Wei Wangying has always been an approachable style, and the court of Wei is also a faction of monarchs and ministers who are in harmony, like a fish in water. It was like today, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was so cold that people felt frightened.
Now not only is the guard of honor held high, but the palace has already been arranged with a large number of armor, holding a sharp sword, looking at the palace ministers of the palace with a bad face, the ministers in the palace are suddenly panicked and at a loss.
Gongzi Wei was also very confused at this time, originally thought that Wei Wangying would be angry in the court for Gongsun Acne, but seeing the solemn appearance in the palace now, he suddenly couldn't make up his mind in his heart.
So just as he was about to go out to play and spy on the mind of Wei Wangying, who was sitting in the palace, several imperial histories who knew the imperial history platform came out one after another at this time, impeaching the local ministers for deceiving Wei Ting, colluding with each other, and plotting against each other.
After listening to what the imperial history of the hall said, Gongzi Wei suddenly became more and more puzzled in his heart.
You must know that the affairs of the country have almost passed through the hands of his son-in-law recently. If there had been a rebellion by a local official, he would have seen the official document of impeachment a long time ago, instead of being ignorant of it now.
Immediately gestured to Guo Wei, the imperial historian not far away, but unfortunately Guo Wei didn't seem to notice it at all, looking like he was wandering out of the world, which made Gongzi Wei suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.
Before Gongzi Wei could think about it further, he heard Wei Wangying's inquiry about him in the palace, so he hurriedly came out to play.
I only heard Wei Wangying, who was sitting on the throne, pointed to a few imperial histories in the hall, and asked Gongzi calmly: "Lord Shangshu, I have been dealing with major affairs in the country recently, do you know what the imperial history played?" ”
When Gongzi heard the faint reproach in King Wei's words, he immediately panicked.
After all, I really don't know about this, and at the same time, I wonder Wei Wangying, shouldn't I discuss the treason of Gongsun Acne today? Why does it seem to be faintly pointing the finger at him now, and I don't know how to answer for a while.
But as the ministers in the palace gradually stared at him, Gongzi suddenly became more and more frightened, his hands and feet were numb, and cold sweat broke out on his back, so he could only tremble and say: "Tell my king, the minister doesn't know."
"Haha, as an auxiliary minister, I have the responsibility of surveying the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Now that there are ministers in the country who are wrongdoing, you don't know a word about the ministers, what do you say you are doing all day? Wei Wangying suddenly slapped the case table in front of him and reprimanded loudly.
When Gongzi heard this, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly confessed.
After all, the current situation was not at all what he had expected before the previous dynasty, and listening to the meaning of King Wei, it was clear that he was already dissatisfied with himself. Could it be that the King of Wei had already found out that he had betrayed him? Childe couldn't help but think in his heart.
But if this is the case, Gongzi Wei thought that with his understanding of his brother Wang, he should have been arrested and killed by the guards around King Wei a long time ago, where could he live in the world for one more second.
What's more, now in this public, Wei Wangying will not tear this relationship apart. Otherwise, he is telling everyone that he has been a loyal servant of Wei Wangying for more than ten years, and now he is openly rebelling against him.
Isn't he Wei Wangying the biggest joke in the world? Then the face of the world's wise monarch that he Wei Wang Ying has always maintained, won't he be destroyed by his own hands? After all, even the people who have followed him for more than ten years are unconvinced, so how can they convince all the people in the world?
"The prince is arrogant and arrogant, dereliction of duty, and violates the king's grace. From now on, he will be removed from the position of the secretary of the military department, and he will be in a claustrophobic mansion for a month, and he will not be allowed to go out", the prince in the palace is still pleading guilty, and Wei Wangying said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the palace suddenly took a big breath, and their faces couldn't be believed.
You must know that the recent momentum of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China is the most ferocious, and the DPRK is almost full of his henchmen.
Originally, the ministers thought that Gongzi Wei would take over the position of Xiangguo, which had been vacant since the death of Gongsun Acne. After all, everyone in the court knew that Gongzi Wei was the favored minister of Wei Wangying, otherwise he would not be the general of the defeated army and the position of the secretary of the army.
But now I didn't think about it, the prince who was still powerful yesterday lost his position as Shangshu in an instant, was claustrophobic at home by King Wei, and fell into hell.
Hearing this, Gongzi's head was also completely stunned at this time, and he couldn't believe it at all, why did things develop into what they are today? His son was actually removed from the position of Shangshu?
When he was about to look around for allies and intercede for himself, he saw Pang Juan staring at him with a slight smile, and suddenly panicked, and heard Wei Wangying say loudly: "Gongsun has been in the position of Shangshu for a long time, which can be described as a high degree of hard work.
Originally, the government should be more generous, but the current military department is unstable, and the people in the DPRK and China are panicking. The widow specially recruited Mr. Gongsun and Mr. as the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, coordinated the size of the affairs, and added 1,000 stones.
When there are good talents, we will decide on the matter of the Minister of War". As soon as the words fell, he saw Gongsun and was full of energy, wearing Shangshu court clothes and entering the Shunde Palace, facing the King of Wei and bowing respectfully: "Minister, thank me for the king's grace."
Then the monarch and the ministers encouraged each other, and the prince who was kneeling in the hall suddenly lost his soul and did not move.
It turned out that Wei Wangying, who originally learned from Gongzi Wei that Gongsun Acne might be treason and was furious in his heart, slowly regained his composure under the conditioning of An Sheng Tang from the imperial doctor in the palace.
When I recalled what Gongzi Wei said again, I was also very puzzled in my heart, I didn't know whether it was true or false, but what Gongzi Wei said was reasonable, but Wei Wangying was also very clear about what her husband and grandson were like, so Wei Wangying was very upset in her heart.
As the saying goes, there are many stars in the sky and bright nights, and there are many trees on the ground that are forests.
Although Wei Wangying was greedy for pleasure, he was not a fool to the extreme, so he sent someone overnight to invite the general Pang Juan to come and solve his doubts.
You must know that Pang Juan is out of the Ghost Valley faction, and he has the posture of heaven. When Gongsun Acne was not dead, Pang Juan and Gongsun Acne had always been his right-hand men of Wei Wangying.
Of course, the reason why Gongsun Acne was reused was because he had been a Xiangguo for nearly 20 years before Wei Ying became the king of Wei, which can be said to have won the hearts of the military and people of Wei, otherwise, Wei Wangying was really unbearable, and this old Xiangguo, who was always working against him, was sent away early.
But Pang Juan is different, he is a general personally promoted by Wei Wangying, and it can be said that he is deeply favored by Wei Wangying. Whether it is talent or style, Wei Wangying likes it, after all, they all respect people who attack foreign countries and thus dominate the world.
Pang Juan, who was summoned late at night, suddenly looked embarrassed after hearing what King Wei said.
It's not that Pang Juan is also distressed because of Gongsun Acne's treason, but he is thinking about Gongzi's original intention to make a statement to King Wei. As for the truth or falsehood of Gongsun Acne's treason, Pang Juan doesn't believe it, but he won't say it either.
"My lord, what Lord Shangshu said, the minister doesn't know whether it's true or false. Now the most important thing is to maintain the dignity of our Wei State and maintain the face of the king.
Since Wei Kai is now in the Qin State, as long as we arrest Wei Kai, isn't it up to us to decide whether the truth or falsehood of the matter is true? ”
Wei Wangying suddenly said with an ugly face: "The general also thinks that the old man and grandson are treasonous? ”
When Pang Juan heard this, he smiled and said, "Didn't the king already have a conclusion in his heart? Why bother asking the last general".
After hearing this, Wei Wangying suddenly sighed, and his face eased. If you want to say that Gongsun Acne betrayed him, he really can't believe it, even if Gongsun Acne really betrayed him, he Wei Wang Ying will not admit it, this is his basic face as the King of Wei.
However, Wei Kai is really hateful as a thief, as a person in the office, he actually helped the Qin State and counterattacked his mother country, and once the rumors about her husband Sun Hexi collaborating with the enemy spread, because of this Wei Kai, the entire Wei State, including his Wei Wangying, became very embarrassed.
So, Wei Wangying turned around, walked in front of Pang Juan, and said with a serious expression: "General, there is already a countermeasure?" ”。
"Qi my king, since the last defeat of Han, the last general has been thinking about it for a long time, and found that if my Great Wei wants to compete for hegemony in the six kingdoms of Shandong, the Qin State must be attacked first."
When Wei Wangying heard this, his face showed an expression of approval, but in fact, he still despised the Qin State very much in his heart. After all, the Qin State was just some barbarians with rudimentary farm tools, how could they be the opponents of his Great Wei soldiers who were equipped with strong bows and crossbows and armor.
comforted Pang Juan and said: "Alas, the general is not to blame for the benefits of the last attack on South Korea, and the strength of South Korea has long been exhausted by our army.
The land that he Han Wu still occupies now is just a piece of fat that my Wei State can easily take, but it is only because of the hateful Qi State."
When Pang Juan heard this, he continued: "My king is exactly like this, and my Wei State will first attack the Qin State.
South Korea has long been allied with Zhao in the Three Jin Dynasty, and it is also allied with Qi in the distance.
And the Qin State has lived in the West for a long time, the country is closed, and has nothing to do with the Central Plains countries, but has been repeatedly rejected by the six countries of Shandong, and the Wei State has invaded Qin, so there is no need to worry about other countries saving Qin.
At the same time, the people of Qin are poor and weak, the army is mostly old and weak, and the national strength is also the weakest of the seven countries today.
And if we don't destroy Qin, when our Great Wei elite soldiers and other countries are fighting on the big river, if the Qin people attack the whole country, our country is empty, and Anyi City is close to the big river, the situation will be very critical."
When Wei Wangying heard this, he changed his opinion of the Qin State in his heart. Alas, the Qin State is a piece of chicken ribs for the Wei State, and it is a pity to abandon it, and the food is tasteless. So he looked at the battle intent on his face, and said with a smile: "General, there is already a strategy to cut down Qin?" ”。
As soon as the words fell, Pang Juan's expression suddenly perked, and he said loudly: "Enlighten my king, there will be a plan to drive the wolf and devour the tiger in the end...".
