Chapter 2 Seeking to see Xiangguo
The world is such a wonderful thing, and people tend to think about it, plan what to do, how to do it, prepare all kinds of plans, think a lot, and feel sorry. However, when we really face things, we suddenly find that it may be best for us to do nothing, which may be that the plan cannot catch up with the change.
Wei Kai is in this state now. When the sky was slightly bright, Uncle Wei came to inform him that someone had come to Xiangguofu to pick him up and go to Xiangguofu. In the carriage of Xiangguo's mansion, Wei Kai felt that it was really amazing, and he suddenly felt very funny about what he had considered last night. I came to Anyi this time, in the name of visiting the third uncle, to maintain the relationship between my branch and the sect. After all, since the death of his father, the Yucheng Wei clan has severed contact with the Anyi Honzong. But he understands that the Wei clan is now struggling in Yucheng, and the Wei clan, who once commanded the clans in Yucheng, is now about to fall down and everyone will push it. If it weren't for the jealousy of the power of the Xiangguo Mansion in Anyi, the local clan in Yucheng would have plundered the Wei family's business as early as the death of Wei Kai's father and Wei Kai's coma (which almost ended at the beginning). As an alien clan, although Wei Kai's ancestors rebelled against the clan, without the support of their own clan, it would be impossible for them to claim hegemony in Yucheng, a place with many slave owners. If it is said that the Wei State has bullied the countries for hundreds of years, then the Wei family has dominated Yucheng to this day. At the beginning, the ancestors of Wei Kai came to Yucheng to start their ancestral business, and the king of Wei helped to suppress the patriarchy, which inevitably had the inner meaning of letting the descendants of the Wei royal family shepherd the Quartet, suppress the local tyrants, and consolidate the Wei regime.
Yucheng, during the Jin Dynasty, was still the vassal state of Zhou Tianzi - Yu State. According to legend, King Keyin of Zhou Wu, after asking Taibo Zhongyong, got Zhou Zhang. Zhou Zhang has been Jun Wu, so he sealed it. It is the seal of Zhou Zhang's brother Yu Zhong in the north of Zhou, so the summer market is for Yu Zhong. When Jin Xiangong was expanding abroad, every time he attacked the state of Yu, the state of Yu always helped the state of Yu to resist the Jin army. The two countries formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly fight against the Jin State, forming a horn trend. Jin Dafu Xun Xi offered a false way to cut down Yu, the Jin State then destroyed the two countries, the Duke of Yu went out to Luoyang, the capital of Zhou, the Duke of Yu was captured, and the country of Yi was a county, so he built Yu City, and two cities in the north.
At this time, Wei Kai thought of the cold lips and teeth, and the good horse and sword that bribed Yu Gong, but he didn't expect it at all.
suddenly found that he was the same as Gong Yu, who went abroad to go to Zhou, and was seeking the support of the clan. Thinking that his ancestors had dealings with Anyi Honzong before, they were limited to letters, and there was no tribute. When I visited Sanbo this time, I couldn't help but have the meaning of recognizing the sect, and I didn't know how the ancestor of the royal family who had been on the road to the blue thread didn't know how to feel.
In addition, in Wei Kai's view, if he asks to see his third uncle, Yu Li, he should take a bath, and then respectfully throw himself into the table, and then wait for the summons; Yu Fa, he only has a hereditary local official position, and the third uncle is the minister of the dynasty, so he should also take the initiative to meet him as a subordinate official. Unexpectedly, this third uncle took the initiative to come to the door and disrupt his plans. Thinking of the embarrassment at this time, Wei Kai had even less good feelings for the Yucheng clan, and was even more disgusted with the current image of land annexation in the Wei State.
No matter how far Wei Kai wandered the world, the bumpy carriage stopped after a while. "The head of the Wei family, the prime minister is invited." Wei Kai only heard the voice of the old servant of Xiangguo who greeted him outside the carriage. Wei Kai suddenly brightened. After getting out of the car steadily, I suddenly found that I was not in front of Xiangguo's Mansion, but in an inn that looked ordinary. The old servant didn't care about Wei Kai's puzzled gaze, "The head of the Wei family, the Xiangguo is invited", this sentence came out of his mouth again, without a superfluous expression.
This inn is no different from the ordinary from the outside, if there is a characteristic, it is large, almost occupying a street where Wei Kai is now. Following the waiter, Wei Kai felt that he was going around in circles, and he felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
After a while, he saw a man standing in the middle of the temple in the distance. From afar, Wei Kai could feel an oncoming pressure, which was the momentum exuded by the general who had only been in battle for a long time. Suddenly, Wei Kai thought that the old servant who greeted him should be an old soldier who had fought bloodily for this country, or to be precise, a military soldier. This is the pillar stone of Hexi, the old Xiangguo who assisted the two generations of Wei Hou, and the famous general of the Wei State today-Gongsun Acne? The warrior is the glory of the Wei people, with his own title, he can be killed but not humiliated, and his ancestors also relied on the warrior system to create the foundation of the Wei clan in Yucheng.
"The head of the Wei family, meet Lord Xiangguo", Wei Kai immediately kowtowed.
After a long while, the Xiangguo Dada, who had already sat in front of the hall, said: "Wei family, after the Gong family." The fathers have made great contributions to the country, and there is no need to be formal." Wei Kai got up and sat in the lower left position below the main seat. got up and sat upright, and immediately saluted Gongsun Acne, saying: "Yucheng is the land of Wei, and it should have the obligation to be loyal to the country.
"Hahaha, martingale, what you and I discussed yesterday, how about now?" , Gongsun said to the young man dressed as a scholar sitting on the right side at this time.
"The head of the Wei family has the style of his ancestors, which is different from the people of the ordinary family, and it is indeed unexpected in Martingale. It's Martingale Menglang." The man, known as Martingale, raised his glass to Wei Kai and apologized, and then drank it. But Wei Kai didn't hear what Wei Ying said clearly. It's just an instinctive response, this is the first official aristocratic activity that the soul has passed through, and fortunately, the original owner of this body is the noble young master of Yunwen Yunwu.
Martingale, Wei Ying, the Legalist genius who led the Qin State to carry out the Shang Dynasty reform, created the Qin State's cultivation and warfare system, and achieved the future Shang monarch of the immortal foundation. Wei Kai's mind was spinning rapidly, and the first historical figure he met was actually Wei Ying. God, do you want to be his younger brother, and then go to the Qin State to get rid of it, but it seems that he was wiped out by the clan. Then I tried to accept him as my younger brother, forget it, this unrealistic idea. Wei Kai looked straight at Wei Ying, cranky, and motionless.
Wei Ying also felt strange at this time, he was a descendant of Wei Guo, and he only came to Wei from Wei last year to seek officials, and served his grandson as a teacher, and served as a concubine. He has never intersected with the Wei clan in Yucheng, and looking at Wei Kai's appearance, he clearly knows himself. So, he bowed and said, "Martingale, is there anything wrong with it?" If so, please forgive Wei Ying's sins", and apologize for drinking again.
At this time, Wei Kai came back to his senses, and secretly felt guilty for his recklessness. Thinking of the purpose of this trip, the current situation of the Yucheng Wei family, and what he is doing now. "Xiangguo, hard work is high, and the pillar stone of Wei is also. I see that his brother Wei is a little older than me, but he stands on the side of Xiangguo, which can be said to be very relied on by Xiangguo, and he must be talented. Wei Kaicai was shallow in learning, and he thought it was surprising, so Meng Lang made amends to Xiangguo and Brother Wei. After speaking, he changed to Gongsun Acne, and Wei Ying saluted separately, and then drank to apologize.
"Hahahaha, martingale, it's indeed a big material. You Wei clan, after the Gong family, don't be presumptuous", Gongsun Yan also noticed Wei Kai's expression when he saw Martingale just now, and was about to ask, when he heard Wei Kai's words. I only felt that it was a word of admiration between my son and nephew, so I didn't take it to heart.
"Wei asked to see me, what's the matter?" Gongsun asked after laughing a few times. "The Yu family, the Huang family, the Chen family, deceive my clan and insult my Wei family. After the Wei clan was a prince, he couldn't bear the difficulty of the people of Yucheng being attacked by the clan, so he came to Anyi to ask Xiangguo to uphold justice", Wei Kai heard Gongsun Acne's words, immediately got up and sorted out his clothes, walked to the hall to pay a big salute to Gongsun Acne, and cried.
Hearing what Wei Kai said, Gongsun acne sneered in his heart, the Gongzu was bullied? Under the whole world, the rate is not the king's land; Under the whole world, the rate is not the king's minister. The Gong clan is the most powerful group of people in this country, and there are countless people who suffer from it in the local area. I also thought that the Wei clan in Yucheng was the same branch as the main sect, and although there were correspondences, they were limited to correspondence. Moreover, this intermittent interaction was limited to friendly exchanges in the name of the two families, and there was no other communication. The meaning of Yucheng Wei's independence from their ancestors is self-evident. Wei Kai is now so eager to see himself, it can be seen that the danger of the Wei clan in Yucheng is so urgent.
"The clan is so bold now, and dares to bully the clan, don't you remember the clan order and the law of the country?" , Gongsun acne patted the case table in front of him and scolded, "Don't panic in the Wei family, tomorrow I will play the king, the king has always been diligent and loving the government, sympathetic to the family, and will uphold justice for the Wei family, reduce the anger of thunder, and deter Xiaoxiao." At this time, after hearing this, Wei Ying frowned, coughed slightly, and signaled his division commander to calm down.
Gongsun Acne also calmed down when he heard Wei Ying's hint at this time. I thought of my original intention of entertaining myself as a junior here. The danger of the Wei clan in Yucheng, if it is the worry of the Yu Huang Chen clan, with the bloodline of the Gong clan, the local clans will not dare to be presumptuous. But this time, the persecution is so urgent, and the danger of the situation is still related to the competition between several forces in the Anyi country. This time, the persecution of Yucheng Wei came to him, the Xiangguo, and Wei was just a victim at the right time. This is a warning to his grandson acne.
If it is an ordinary force, Gongsun Acne waves his hand, and he will make the barker's head bleed, like a dog with a broken spine, kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy. But this time it was different, and it was also a crisis for his grandson.
The person behind the scenes is the current general Pang Juan, and what is even more terrifying is that Prince Shen is also involved. A few earth dogs in Yucheng had the courage to overstep the clan.
In the final analysis, it was Gongsun Acne who had been in the country for too long and stood in the way of others. My husband's uncle, since the Marquis of Wei Wu, has changed to Xiangguo, assisting two generations of Marquis Wei, and it has been 40 years now.
But my husband and uncle can't give in, the battle between the clans has always been your life and my death, and one step back can be in danger of extinction. In addition, the old uncle felt that the Wei State needed him, and the current Wei Hou adopted the strategy of attacking, changing the strategy of combining the three Jin Dynasty adopted during the period of the Marquis of Wen and Wu, and taking the road of military hegemony. However, the old uncle believes that the four sides should be adopted to come to the court, with diplomacy as the mainstay, supplemented by attack, taking land near and taking advantage of the situation from afar, accumulating national strength, maintaining the current situation of hegemony without hegemony, and at the same time further changing the law to strengthen the country, so as to wait for the world to change, and then strive for hegemony in the world. After all, Wei is in the land of four wars, and if it wins, it will be fine; If you don't win, you will attract jackals from all directions, and Wei will not be a country.
The current Marquis of Wei is too anxious, eager to attack the city and plunder the land, and wants to recreate the glory of his ancestors and prove his virtuous ability. Therefore, Wei Hou has become more and more dislike for his old uncle recently, but it is just because of the identity of the auxiliary minister recognized by Wu Hou to balance the forces of the government and the opposition. However, the strategy of conquest is indeed respected by Pang Juan, and only when a warrior has military merits can he have rights and status, and the prince is just to accumulate prestige and stabilize the position of the prince.
"But you can't let it, if you give way to Hexian, you don't have to force Wu Qi to go in the first place...... Ay; If they do not let it, the government and the opposition will inevitably fall into the competition of forces from all sides, and the government and the opposition will be unstable, and the country will be unstable, and it will be worthy of the ancestors. But the clan must not help you." Thinking of this, Gongsun Acne was tired, not only old, but also tired. Of course, Wei Kai didn't know all this.
"Virtuous nephew, let's do it today, I promise to worry about the Wei family. Marting, treat my virtuous nephew well, and when I go to court tomorrow, I will give him an answer." After speaking, without waiting for Wei Ying, Wei Kai saluted and left directly.
