Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cheekiness Is Really Worthless
In Daliang City, Wei Wangying waited for ten days in a row, but the countries that were expected to lead troops to meet the alliance did not even have the slightest news, and on the official road outside Daliang City, there were only a few busy merchants of all kinds, and there was nothing else.
What surprised Wei Wangying even more was the news brought back by the envoys who had been sent to inform the countries.
The envoy to the southern Chu State was directly blocked outside the Yingdu City of the Chu State, and he did not see the King of Chu at all;
And the envoy of Xinzheng replied that Han Wangwu was dedicated to cultivating, and after learning that Wei had conquered Qin, he actually left the government directly and went to the Guangming Peak in Xinzheng City, saying that it was to pray for the righteous teacher of King Wei, and no minister in the Korean court came out to oppose it.
In the Wei Palace in Daliang City, Wei Wang Ying was dressed in a single suit, drinking hot tea in the pavilion in the palace, preparing to cultivate his body and temperament, in order to relieve the depression and irritability in his heart caused by the failure of the countries to go to the appointment on time.
But when he heard the return of the envoys to Chu and South Korea, Wei Wangying was so angry that he almost overturned the case in front of him. The alliance of all countries, Chu and South Korea actually didn't take it seriously, wouldn't it be in front of the people of the world to refute his Wei Wangying's face, his Wei's face?
Waving his hand with an irritated face, those envoys who were kneeling not far away and trembling, at this time, received the will of the King of Wei to let them retire, and suddenly seemed to have been amnestied, and hurriedly retreated one by one.
"It's hateful", as soon as the messenger who came to report left, Wei Wangying, his face was pale, and he scolded angrily.
Thinking that his envoy was blocked outside the city by the king of Chu, Wang Ying of Wei was angry. The envoys who went to other countries represented the Wei State in other countries, and now the barbarians in the south actually insulted their envoys so much, they really didn't take his Wei State in their eyes.
But Wei Wangying can only scold the behavior of the king of Chu, and it is not harmful to the reputation of Chu in the countries.
After all, the state of Chu was originally a barbarian country, and Xiong Tong, the king of Chu, disliked that his title was too small, and actually took the initiative to ask Zhou Tianzi for the title, and Jane despised the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty since the beginning of the dynasty.
But the title is not an ordinary property, but it is destined by God, Zhou has nine tripods, and everything has its own fixed number, how can you want it?
What's even more jaw-dropping is that after the king of Chu couldn't get it, he actually said: "If the king doesn't add me, I will respect myself", and the key countries have no choice. However, the impression of the Chu people being rude, arrogant, and unruly took root in the hearts of the Central Plains countries.
As for Han Wangwu, Wei Wangying didn't know what to say. The countries are fighting each other, such a major matter, you Han Wangwu actually ignore it, where can you go to the top of the light? Thanks to the ancestors of Korea, Zeng Jiang laid a great foundation like the ancestors of Wei.
But even if the situation in South Korea is chaotic and the country's situation is gradually declining, as a descendant of Han Jianzi of the Wise I, you Han Wu must at least work hard for South Korea, at least the posture should be done.
Wei Wangying thought of this, and the little shame he had because he turned his back on Korea suddenly dissipated cleanly, there is such a king in Korea, it is better to let Wei annex Korea, Han Wangwu owns Korea, it is simply a tyrannical thing.
However, therefore, the envoys sent by Wei to the Four Kingdoms with the intention of ally attacking Qin have now failed in two ways, and the only ones left without news are Qi and Zhao.
Originally, Wei Wangying did not expect Qi to participate in the Great Liang Alliance, that is to say, in the Great Liang Alliance, Wei followed Pang Juan's plan to win over Chu, Zhao and Korea.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Chu State and South Korea are clearly unwilling to participate in the Great Liang Alliance, and Wei Wangying suddenly hopes that the Qi State can send people to participate in the Great Liang Alliance.
You must know that if the Qi State did not come to the Huimeng, with his understanding of Zhao Hou, Wei Wang Ying was sure that the old Zhao Hou, who was greedy for interests and did not see rabbits and eagles, would lead his troops back to Zhao even if he was already halfway to Daliang, and would never come to this troubled water.
Isn't that the five-nation alliance that Wei has been planning for a long time and has a huge momentum in the countries will only be Wei at that time? Then he Wei Guo will be embarrassed, he Wei Ying should have been in the limelight above the alliance, wouldn't he be the biggest fool in the world at that time?
If the Qi State can come, even if the countries don't come on time, then he Wei State is not embarrassed, after all, isn't there still the Qi State? Wei Wangying thought of it at this time, so he hurriedly sent someone to pay attention to the envoy of Wei to Qi, and if he returned, he would quickly come to the palace to report.
After another five days, Wei Chen, who had been waiting for an envoy to Qi, finally returned to Daliang City to inform Wei Wangying about the envoy to Qi.
Daliang Palace.
A middle-aged man wearing a Wei court uniform, with a solemn face and a tall face, under the guidance of the palace attendants, soon met the anxious Wei Wangying in the Qinde Palace.
"Minister Moping, meet my king, long live my king."
Looking at Mo Ping, who has a little gray hair in the hall, but has a straight waist and is not humble or silent, even if Wei Wangying sits far away in the hall, he can still feel a kind of righteousness emanating from the inside out.
"It is the duty of the minister to share worries for the country, and the minister is really ashamed of what the king said."
Looking at Mo Ping, who was standing in the hall and refused to take a seat, but instead looked directly at him, Wei Wangying was stunned for a moment, but then he was also relieved.
When a courtier goes to another country, he will wait until the mission is completed to accept the king's favor, which is the courtier's discipline; If the mission fails, not to mention the punishment of the government, the officials with a heavier sense of honor will immediately draw their swords and kill themselves, and there are not a few among the nations.
Now that Mo Ping rejected Wei Wangying's kindness, he was waiting to return to Wei Wangying's inquiry to show that he was worthy of his mission, so Wei Wangying asked in a deep voice: "Doctor Mo, has Qi Guo ever promised the alliance?" ”
"The minister was ordered by the king to go to the envoy of Qi, and the king of Qi was above the court, under the witness of Zou Ji of Qi Xiangguo, and promised me the matter of the alliance of the king of Daliang, and the people of the world will be punished."
When Wei Wangying, who was sitting in the hall, heard this, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Good, good...".
The overjoyed posture of Wei Wangying in the palace made Mo Ping, the minister of Wei under the hall, suddenly look at him in surprise, looking at the surprised eyes cast around, Wei Wangying also knew that he had lost his temper just now, so he pretended to cough and said: "Well, Doctor Mo, the envoy to the Qi State has not disgraced his mission, and the widow is very happy."
Mo Ping in the hall put away the curiosity in his heart, came to the seat prepared for him by Wei Wangying just now, and then thanked him: "Minister, Mo Ping thanks my king."
Now that the King of Qi has agreed to participate in the Great Liang Alliance, Wei Wangying's heart that has been hanging for a few days has finally been relaxed. Since then, even if the Wei State is humiliated by then, isn't there still the Qi State and the King of Qi with him? Thinking of this, Wei Wangying actually wanted to see King Qi's iron-faced face strangely.
Man is really a strange animal, originally Wei did not expect Qi to come, but now more than anyone else wants Qi to come;
Originally, because the countries refused to participate in the Great Liang Alliance, the Wei State lost face in front of the people of the world, but now because of the Qi State, he does not feel ashamed. But no matter what, Wei Wangying's mood is getting better, but it is real, so the atmosphere in the palace is becoming more and more harmonious.
"Doctor Mo, this time I went to the Qi country, but what news did I find?" , the king of Wei in the palace said.
"Qi my king, when the minister left the Qi country, he did hear a strange thing", Mo Ping, the doctor of the Wei State under the hall, got up and replied.
"Oh?" When Wei Wangying heard this, he responded nonchalantly. After all, as long as Qi Guo comes now, then he Wei Wangying will have a heart in his heart, and now there is nothing more important than him Wei Wangying losing face in the countries.
"The minister heard that the king of Qi sent Tian Ji, the minister of the office, to lead the troops to Rao'an, the northern border of the Qi country, and the Maicheng generation guarded it, which seems to be strengthening the northern border of the Qi country."
When Wei Wang Ying heard this, he immediately felt strange, after all, he hadn't heard that Qi was at war with which vassal state? In the north, is it to guard against the poor and remote Yan country? Wei Wangying suddenly thought of it, but then he didn't take it to heart, if Qi Yan started a war and consumed the strength of Qi State, it would be better.
After a while, after Mo Ping, the minister who sent the envoy to the Qi State, retired, Pang Juan, who was listening to the conversation just now, slowly walked out, but Pang Juan's face was very bad, and it was a little scary.
When Wei Wangying saw Pang Juan's face, he immediately comforted: "General, don't worry, now that the Qi State has come to join the alliance, we will still be able to raise troops to attack Qin at that time, and we will not lose the face of our Wei State in other countries."
When Nazhi Pang Juan heard this, his face suddenly became even more ugly, and he knelt on the side and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Wei Ying, who was still very happy in her heart, suddenly stiffened, and said slowly: "General, did you find something from Dr. Mo's remarks just now?" ”
When Pang Juan heard this, he immediately came out and pleaded guilty: "Enlighten my king, I'm afraid that the Qi Kingdom will not come to the alliance?" This time, it is the crime of the minister."
When Wei Wangying in the hall heard this, he looked at Pang Juan who was pleading guilty in the hall, and was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "General, are you lying?" Just now, Doctor Mo clearly said that the King of Qi himself said that the Qi Kingdom would come to participate in the Great Liang Alliance.
General, if you don't believe it, then ask Dr. Mo to say it again in this hall, come here, come quickly", looking at Wei Wangying, who hurriedly dispatched his inner servants, Pang Juan was also ashamed in his heart, of course he knew that if Qi did not come, Wei would be in an embarrassing situation.
So he hurriedly said: "Great King, the King of Qi did agree to come to participate in my Great Liang Alliance, but it is also true that the Qi State will not send troops to join the Alliance."
As soon as Pang Juan's words fell, Wei Wangying in the palace was suddenly very confused, and said in a deep voice with a stiff face: "General, don't joke, otherwise the widow will be punished for the general's crime."
"King, if the Qi Kingdom participates in the alliance, it will be impossible to send Tian Ji to lead troops to defend the northern border at this time."
When Wei Wang Ying heard this, he immediately felt funny, how could a little Tian Ji have a lot to do with whether King Qi participated in the alliance.
Looking at Wei Wangying, who was full of doubts, Pang Juan said: "The current Qi State was established by Jiang on behalf of the original Tian family, and only two generations have passed since then, so the Qi royal family has reused the people of the Tian clan in order to stabilize the government.
Now in the army of Qi, the most famous are the three generals of the three public offices, Tian Ji, Tian Wu, and Tian Jia, and Tian Ji is one of the younger ones and closer to the blood relationship of the Qi royal family, so it is more important to be used by the King of Qi.
The king, if the king of Qi comes to join the alliance, he will definitely send Tian Ji, the henchman of the king of Qi, to lead the army, which can increase the prestige of the king of Qi's side, and secondly, it can also plunder some benefits in the battle of Qin.
Now that Tian Ji is guarding the northern border of Qi State, it means that Qi State has no intention of forming an alliance."
When Wei Wangying heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he covered his chest and shouted: "Oh my God, King Qi is so untrustworthy, it's a big deal for me."
Just when Wei Wangying and Pang Juan were at a loss in the palace, the guards at the door hurriedly came to say: "The envoy sent by Zhou Tianzi has arrived outside the city of Daliang, and Yan has come to preside over the alliance of Daliang advocated by King Wei."
Suddenly, Pang Juan in the hall heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly leaned over in Wei Wangying's ear.
I really want to fall asleep, come to the pillow, Zhou Tianzi sent someone to preside over the alliance, so as the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, how can Wei not let the people of the Zhou royal family preside, as for what kind of situation will be faced at that time, it has nothing to do with Wei.
Therefore, Wei Wangying immediately led the hundred officials in the city, respectfully introduced the envoys of the Son of Heaven into the city of Daliang, and the humble attitude made the envoys of the Zhou Dynasty suddenly praise loudly: Wei Jun is really one of the few ministers of the Zhou family in the troubled times.
