Chapter 57: The Death of a Famous Minister

"What!" When Qin Feng heard this, his face changed greatly. If Uncle Gong kills Wei Ying in this Wei State, then the future of Qin State will be confusing.

King Wei Hui looked at his uncle in surprise, and felt that he must have lost his mind and was crazy because he was so stubbornly entangled in the body of an unknown junior. In an instant, he felt a little pity for this old hero with frost and snow and thin wood, and felt that he couldn't let him down anymore, so he smiled with relief: "Okay, okay, I'll kill him tomorrow, heh." ”

"It's not good, it's not good!" Qin Feng panicked in his heart.

Uncle acne leaned weakly on the mat, tears were in his eyes, and he didn't want to say a word.

King Wei Hui silently walked out of the bedroom, instructed the chamberlain to carry a large copper box, gave 5,000 gold to his uncle and wife, said a word of concern, and left in a light car.

Uncle Gong shook his hand with difficulty, "Wei Ying, please come, quickly." When the maid heard this, she hurried away.

When Wei Ying came to the bedroom, he obviously felt the disappointment and sadness of his uncle and prime minister. But he didn't speak, just stood silently. Uncle Gong let out a long sigh, "Marting, you run away, it's too late." Wei Ying smiled faintly, "Why did you escape?" Where to flee to? Uncle Gong's face flushed, and he gasped for a while, "Marting, for the sake of the country's righteousness, the old man will do his best to recommend you to take on the big responsibility." However, King Wei doesn't need you. The old man persuaded the King of Wei to kill you. Killing you and using you is all for the sake of the country. persuaded you to escape, yes, but friendship. Let's go, let's go—"

"Uncle Prime Minister...... Alas, if a king is like this, what is the use of a courtier? Qin Feng's eyes suddenly moistened, and he could feel the powerlessness of an old minister of the Three Dynasties and his last loyalty to the country.

"Prime Minister, if this is the case, there is no need to escape." Wei Ying didn't have the slightest surprise, let alone leave immediately.

"You? Willing to die in the Wei State? My uncle was shocked.

"Uncle Prime Minister, if King Wei doesn't listen to you and use me, how can he listen to you kill me? He won't take me to heart. Don't be worried. Wei Ying smiled faintly.

Uncle Gong's old eyes were staring at Wei Ying. He obviously felt unexpected, but he suddenly felt that he understood the truth, and it was the same reason, how could he, an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes, not see it thoroughly than the young man in front of him? Great wisdom and talent, how can he be! The old uncle couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Marting, your knowledge is always superior...... I can't see it, I can't see you doing it...... Where will you go? …… You, you're going to let Wei perish, aren't you......"

"Let your Wei Kingdom perish...... If Wei Ying has this lifespan, wouldn't it be easy to destroy you! Qin Feng laughed softly. After listening to Wei Ying's analysis, Qin Feng was not worried that Wei would kill him. He has a mysterious confidence in the legendary figure of the Qin State.

He stretched out his thin hands and grabbed Wei Yan tightly, a glimmer of light in his eyes gradually extinguished, and the old face that was crisscrossed by the ravines gradually stretched out - the old man and uncle were gone, and he left disheartened.

Wei Ying stood silently in front of the couch, cold sorrow welling up in his heart, and big tears rolled down his cheeks. He bowed deeply to Uncle Gong's body, "Uncle Gong, thank you for knowing me so much. But you don't have the power to return to the sky, you can only watch Wei slid into the deep valley. My lord, you are worthy of the Wei State, so you can rest in peace. ”

"My uncle is pitiful." Qin Feng looked at the body of his uncle's acne that was getting cold, and sighed silently, and then gently stepped down from the canopy and took out the theft. Auditor, quietly slipped out.

That night, the white lanterns were hung in the uncle's house, and everyone in the house was mournful in sackcloth filial piety clothes. When the news came out, some people in Anyi City were happy and some were worried, and the Dongxiangchun Polemic Hall was actually crowded, and the all-night debate and interrogation were still full of opinions, and there was no consensus. King Wei Hui rushed to his uncle's mansion that night, dressed in white filial piety clothes, and cried loudly in front of his uncle's spiritual seat. The memorial of the king of Wei alarmed the ministers and officialdom of Anyi, and the high-ranking cars and horses crowded the parking and tethering horse field in front of the prime minister's mansion for a while, and the high-ranking officials and ministers were all dressed in white and wept bitterly.

But there is a rumor in the Dongxiangchun Polemic Hall: only the general Pang Juan did not go to the uncle's mansion to pay respects. The news caused another fierce debate and speculation among the guests of various countries and the scholars of Anyi.

Ten days later, Uncle Acne was ceremoniously buried under the Wuzhen Peak of Lingshan in the south of Anyi City. The lonely peak is the mausoleum, overlooking the salt in the south, and it is almost the same as the Wei Wenhou cemetery. King Wei Hui consulted with his uncle and wife, and in view of the fact that the old prime minister had no children, he decided to appoint a capable cadre in the palace to guard the tomb for three years. When I was carefully choosing, I didn't want the maid to report that someone had asked to guard the tomb. When Mrs. asked, it was Wei Ying, the middle concubine! King Wei Hui smiled with relief, "The old prime minister seems to have talked about this person. Let him go, and it will not be in vain for the old prime minister to appreciate him. ”

On this day, Qin Feng quietly came to the palace early in the morning, and he hesitated for a few days before making this decision, that is, to go to the palace to have a look! This decision was difficult to make, as the palace was heavily guarded, and if discovered, there was probably only one way to use a hot weapon, but that would change history, warp time and space, and no one could have predicted what would happen.

"It's ...... Pang Juan? Qin Feng hid in a corner and saw a figure walking towards the palace from a distance.

Pang Juan hurriedly walked towards the palace.

At this moment, he was both happy and troubled, happy that his uncle had died at the right time, vacating a huge position of power for him. In the Warring States period, although the general was also a high-ranking and independent government, he could not oversee the affairs of the country after all, so that he could not show his outstanding ability as a political state, nor could he make the Wei State complete the great cause under his own comprehensive control. If he can become the prime minister of Wei, he will not only be a great minister, but also reach the peak of the power of celebrities and scholars, and he will enter the prime minister, and achieve the ultimate in both cultural and martial arts.

However, just when he ambitiously refused to participate in the memorial to his uncle in order to show that he was not with the old man, his army chief brought back a rumor from Dong Xiangchun: King Wei's choice for prime minister is undecided, and it will be determined between him and Gongzi!

This surprised him, and he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. On weekdays, he didn't look down on Dong Xiangchun, thinking that it was a place where shallow scholars were vassals and elegant, and repeatedly refused to go to Dong Xiangchun to discuss the general trend of the world and the way to use troops. But he never dared to underestimate the mysterious rumors of Dong Xiangchun, that ghost place has never been groundless, and many key turns have turned Dong Xiangchun's rumors into facts.

Pang Juan once made a righteous and awe-inspiring statement to the King of Wei, asking for the banning of this liquor shop that caused trouble, believing that it was the abyss of Wei State's erosion and corruption, and the best channel for secret envoys of various countries to spy on Wei's secrets. But King Wei Hui laughed, "General, Dongxiangchun has a great foundation and is famous all over the world, and Wenhou and Wuhou are regarded as the pearl of Anyi Wenhua, how can I get it?" ”

Apparently surprised by his idea, even a little displeased. The news of this pesky place now confirmed that the King of Wei had leaked this idea to a cronie, and that someone in the court already knew about it. For a moment, he felt a little sad and angry. Who is Childe? A flashy royal child, except for being proficient in vocal dogs and horses, he does not have any serious skills.

Such a person is also among the candidates for prime minister, which is simply a big joke in the world! But what can be done? He Pang Juan has no foundation in the Wei State, and he doesn't bother to associate with those royal figures who are in the dead place, and the only foundation is his own strength and talent and the merits that have been established. But if you think about it carefully, there is such a thing as ability, it is more than enough to make a living from it, and it may also be promising to make a career with it, but it is the most unreliable thing to rely on it to maneuver around in the officialdom.

Since ancient times, talented people have been buried and sunk, who will theorize? Especially in a country like Wei, which has begun to infiltrate corruption, it seems that it may fall into the abyss at any time if it has to rely on merit to gain more power. For a while, Pang Juan lost confidence in Wei a little, and seemed to have touched something that King Wei didn't notice at once, and he was depressed for a long time.

But can you retreat? Obviously not, to make a contribution is to be indomitable, not to mention that the last hope has not been lost. After a few days of tossing and turning, Pang Juan thought clearly about two points: one is to change his indifference to officialdom in the future and end his isolation like a chicken. The second is to take the initiative to meet the King of Wei and listen to the true thoughts of the King of Wei before making countermeasures.

Early this morning, when he had finished his military affairs, he came to the palace at noon. He knew that it was useless to go early, King Wei was famous for sleeping late and getting up late, and no minister went to the palace early in the morning to see him. Originally, this was also one of the major events that Pang Juan was preparing to persuade King Wei to correct. After a few days of deliberation, Pang Juan not only decided to give up his opinions on such matters, but also decided to learn to accommodate some unwritten aristocratic norms in the court.

The palace of the king of Wei was very large, so large that it occupied almost a quarter of the city of Anyi, and more than two or three times larger than the palace of Zhao and Korea, which was separated from the Jin state at the same time.

The reason why this is so is because the palace of Wei was expanded three times by three generations of monarchs. After Wei Wenhou became a prince, he greatly expanded the original simple palace of his father Wei Huanzi. The accession of Marquis Wu of Wei to the throne increased the national strength, and greatly expanded the palace of Marquis Wen of Wei.

King Wei Hui ascended the throne and became king, and felt that the original palace and the royal name were not matched, so in the second year of his accession, he built a large area of golden and brilliant palace outside the original palace. The three generations of palaces are connected, and they are layered and boundless.

"Tut-tut, this Wei King's Palace is really luxurious." Qin Feng followed Pang Juan's gaze and looked at the Wei Palace, even if it was not the first time he saw it, but he still felt that it was brilliant when he looked at it again.

"I don't know when the Qin Kingdom will be able to have such a palace." Qin Feng thought secretly.
