Chapter 26: The Wind Rises (2)
Slimming, of course, is very important.
However, when Wei Kai entered Xinzheng and saw that the commoners of Xinzheng had almost reached the point of eating with their sons, he felt that it was necessary to explain to King Han that when self-cultivation reached a peaceful world, don't forget to Qi and govern the country. After all, you have to have dreams, but at least you have to eat before you can talk about the future.
Wei Kai looked at King Han in front of him, and immediately got up and saluted: "Bright Ding Chengkun, meet King Han."
Looking at Wei Kai who saluted, Han Wu was also looking at Wei Kai, yesterday he heard his close servant Han Yang tell about last night's events, Wei Kai's words and actions made Han Wang very surprised, so he came to Han Yang's mansion to meet Wei Kai. Now looking at Wei Kai although he is a young man, but he has a basis for advancing and retreating, thinking of yesterday's events, King Han feels that Wei Kai must be a brave and resourceful young man, especially what Wei Kai said: "Bright Sect Chengkun" is really in line with King Han's mind.
During the Warring States period, the doctrine of the Five Virtues flourished. Every nation received instructions from Haotian to obey the will of heaven to shepherd one side. And the instructions obtained are also called virtue, and the yin and yang family is called natural virtue, for example, the Zhou Dynasty is the fire virtue, the banner and clothing are all red, and the Jin and Zhou virtues are also red. Wei thought that he inherited the mandate of heaven from the Jin Dynasty, so he was still red, and Korea was weak, but he was not willing to submit to Wei, so he maverickly launched Mude, which was still green. The Five Elements Theory believes that wood makes fire, wood is warm, fire lurks in it, and wood is drilled to make fire.
Now, Korea was almost destroyed by Wei, and King Han felt that God must be punishing Korea's virtue for not being worthy of carrying the mandate of heaven. Therefore, King Han ordered the whole country to live a hard life, and use his sincerity to accumulate wood virtue, which will definitely be able to strengthen the wood and get the fire, and turn it into stubbornness. Just heard Wei Kai say: "Bright Top", King Han suddenly realized. The prosperity of plants and trees is based on the gift of God, and it is also sunshine, and now South Korea's Mude is actually suppressed by the fire virtue of Wei, it must be not enough virtue, that is, "insufficient sunshine", isn't Guangming Ding what South Korea needs now? Isn't that exactly what the dark South Korea is yearning for? King Han suddenly felt that Wei Kai was sent by God to help South Korea, and looked at Wei Kai with watery eyes.
Wei Kai also noticed the sudden change of King Han, but when the king wants to recruit courtiers, he usually does this, and the one who is best at this is Uncle Liu Huang, whom Wei Kai read in his previous life, Wei Kai didn't care. Of course, Wei Kai didn't know what King Han was thinking, and even if he knew, Wei Kai could only say: Sick and rushed to the doctor, Wei Kai was ready to disturb the six countries of Shandong, how could he be a good person to help South Korea, but Cheng Kun is indeed a bad person.
King Han also noticed his unnaturalness, so he let Wei Kai sit at the table, and said gently: "Xianqing, do you have any suggestions?" After Wei Kai heard this, he didn't hesitate, and said: "I heard that King Han followed King Yue's example, and he has the ambition to lie down and taste his courage?" ”
After hearing this, King Han was even more moved and said: "Everyone in the world says that I, Han Wu and Wei Meng, lost power and humiliated the country, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Han family, but I don't know that I, Han Wu, endure humiliation, and Xianqing knows me." ”
When Wei Kai heard this, he raised his head and smiled, then sighed and said, "King Han, don't pretend to be a mediocre person."
When Han Yang next to him heard this, he immediately shouted: "Cheng Kun is bold", and then he wanted to draw his sword and kill Wei Kai.
When King Han heard this, he was also stunned, and then looked at Han Yang who was about to draw his sword, and said angrily: "Han Yang, you are rude, hurry up and apologize to Mr. and retreat." Han Yang looked at Han Wangwu who got up to defend Wei Kai, and was very angry in his heart, but the king couldn't do anything, so he got up and apologized, and then retreated.
Han Wu looked at Han Yang who was leaving, then turned his head to Wei Kai and said, "Han Yang, rough people too." Mr. Wang, don't be surprised", and personally poured Wei Kai a glass of wine. Wei Kai looked at the respectful King Han, and could only say in his heart: I'm sorry, I don't have a choice now. Then he said earnestly: "King Han only knows King Yue's forbearance and humiliation, but does he know that King Yue shares weal and woe with the people?" Although the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty lost the land west of Luoshui, they gained the virtues of the princes all over the world? ”
When Han Wangwu heard what Wei Kai said, he just raised his hand to toast Wei Kai and suddenly stopped in mid-air, then put it on the table and said, "Sir, Han Wu wears coarse cloth clothes, eats simple food, and leads everyone to cultivate the land in the palace, isn't this still sharing weal and woe with the people?" ”
Wei Kai smiled: "King Han, the reason why you wear coarse cloth clothes, eat simple food, and lead everyone to cultivate the land in the palace is because you want to cultivate noble morals. Those fine food, gorgeous clothes, fertile land, don't exist because you don't enjoy them".
"But for ordinary people, food, clothing, shelter and transportation are not always sufficient. You are now forcing the people to live a life of hardship, and the people are toiling day by day, but they are not enjoying their fruits. The delicious minced meat can be seen but not enjoyed by the people, but the tempting taste is constantly recalled in their minds. So what's the point of the people's hard work? King Han, aren't you rejecting the people's desire for a happy life and the road to a prosperous and powerful country? ”
Looking at King Han who lowered his head and pondered, Wei Kai felt that he should add a dose of fierce medicine, so he said: "Now that the people are dying for the country, but the widow is suffering, the Korean treasury is full, although King Han, you are diligent and thrifty, but your virtue cannot be passed on to the people, so that they can feel the favor of King Han, how can they move the heavens?" How can we unite the people and avenge the country? You can't let the people of South Korea deceive themselves because the current conditions are not good, so isn't it a joke that you can't understand the hardships of humiliation? ”
King Han was silent for a while, looked at Wei Kai, and then said slowly, "Sir, what can I do?" ”
Wei Kai smiled and said: "There must be an official who deceived King Han so that King Han's kindness could not be conveyed." After hearing this, King Han immediately sent someone to kill the officials who supervised the money and grain in Xinzheng, opened a warehouse to release grain, and gave relief to the people, and a few days later, the disputed Xinzheng gradually quieted down, and the people chanted the benevolence of King Han, and King Han was more convinced of Wei Kai. However, this is Wei Kai's first step.
"King, Xinzheng City is slowly recovering now. Today, before the minister came to the palace, he also ate a bowl of noodles on the side of the road, and it was still the original taste", as soon as he entered the palace, Han Yang told Han Wangwu about the changes in Xinzheng today.
Han Wangwu was handling the chapter in the government affairs hall of the Han Palace at this time, and when he heard Han Yang's words, he also raised his head, and a slight smile appeared on his serious face, and said, "It's all up to Mr. Chengkun." Yes, King Han had already regarded Wei Kai as a god, because King Han found that since that meeting with Wei Kai in Han Yang's mansion, he suddenly felt refreshed and energetic, and a little talk had such a great effect. When Wei Kai heard it, he could only say that the masochist had a good life for two days, which was really pitiful.
Han Yang originally had a certain prejudice against Wei Kai, but now the changes in Xinzheng, especially the changes in King Han, are inseparable from Wei Kai, so the original hostility has gradually turned into admiration, after all, talented people have a strange temper, and they also agree with what King Han said.
After a while, an attendant came to tell Mr. Chengkun to ask to see him. When King Han heard this, he was instantly very happy. At that time, in the Han Yang Mansion, King Han was persuaded by Wei Kai's remarks, and immediately decided to hire Wei Kai as the secretary of South Korea and give him a land mansion. However, how could Wei Kai agree, so he resigned. King Han couldn't persuade him, so he begged Wei Kai to stay in Xinzheng for a few days, and in the past few days, King Han was extremely respectful to Wei Kai, and greeted him in the morning and evening.
Now, when King Han heard from his chamberlain, Wei Kai took the initiative to ask to see him, and he was overjoyed, thinking that Wei Kai had changed his mind, so he hurriedly prepared to go out to greet him. Just about to stand up, Wei Kai has already entered the government affairs room of South Korea, Wei Kai saw Queen Han When Wang Han just saw Wei Kai, he saw Wei Kai prepare all the luggage bags, King Han was in a hurry, Mr. Cheng Kun was the bright top sent by God to South Korea, so he choked up and said to Wei Kai: "Sir, Han Wu thinks that he is not rude to you, why does Mr. have to leave Korea?" ”
After Wei Kai heard this, he pretended to frown, and then he was slightly ashamed, and sighed: "Han Jun treats Cheng Kun without any rudeness, Cheng Kun is very grateful."
After hearing this, King Han pointed to Wei Kai's salute, and hurriedly said, "Why did that gentleman leave my Korea?" ”
Wei Kai shook his head and said, "Hey, it's because of this that Cheng Kun is leaving South Korea." If people have no foresight, they will have near-term worries. The biggest crisis in South Korea now is in the Wei Palace, not at home."
When Han Yang heard it, he couldn't help but say, "Didn't Wei just form an alliance with my South Korea..... but his voice became quieter and quieter. When Wei Kai heard this, he laughed, pointed at Han Yang, and said to King Han: "King Han, you see that even the upright General Han Yang has begun to tell lies, hahaha."
When King Han heard this, his heart ached, although he made Han Wangwu feel ashamed to form an alliance with Wei again, but Han Wangwu still had certain illusions about this alliance, maybe ........
Wei Kai saw King Han's gloomy expression and said: "This time, Cheng Kun left Korea to go to Qi State, and he must promote an alliance between Korea and Qi State to repay King Han's kindness." ”
After hearing this, King Han said uncertainly: "Qi State? Is it credible? ”
Wei Kai looked at the confusion on Han Wangwu's face, knowing that King Han still hated King Qi's previous immobility, and said with a smile: "Han Jun, Korea did not form an alliance with Qi before, so Qi hesitated, which is also understandable. However, if Korea and Qi form an alliance, if Qi does not send troops to help Korea resist Wei, then the king of Qi will lose his trust in the countries, and how can he dominate the countries. Now that Qi and Wei are competing for hegemony, for the Qi people, if they can form an alliance with Korea, they can not only strengthen the power of their own side, but also destroy the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty and weaken the Wei State, why not do it? ”。
After hearing this, King Han glanced at Wei Kai, lowered his head and walked back and forth for two steps, and then said, "But ........."
Wei Kai didn't wait for King Han to finish speaking, then looked at King Han and said loudly: "South Korea is still worried about Wei? Han Jun, don't forget, Wei has just broken through the capital of South Korea and killed many Korean people, and Han and Wei are no longer together."
"This hatred of Korea will not be forgotten, and neither will the Wei people. Whenever Wei wanted to crusade against other countries, wasn't the King of Wei afraid of a sneak attack by the Korean army? Therefore, when Wei invades other countries, he must first attack Han. Now Korea does not wait for Wei to suffer a great defeat in Hexi and lose its power, and does not form an alliance with the great powers. South Korea is weak, and the next time will be when South Korea will perish." After Wei Kai finished speaking, he took out the prepared mourning clothes and put them on, and after bowing to Han Wang Wu three times, he said: "Cheng Kun can't bear to see King Han next time, Han Jun is a slave of Wei. Now that the king of Han has made up his mind, Cheng Kun will die first, and explore the way for Han Jun on the Huangquan Road to repay the favor of the king of Han. As he spoke, he was about to snatch the sword of the guard next to him and swear to himself.
When Han Jun saw it, he hurriedly hugged Wei Kai and cried: "Mr. treats me like this to South Korea, how can I let Mr. die in vain." Now that Wei Ying is unjust, don't blame me for being unkind, and I, Mr. Han, will form an alliance with the Qi State."
After Wei Kai heard this, he knelt on the ground: "Han Jun is wise."
Outside the gate of Xinzheng City, Han Wangwu looked at Wei Kai who had left, his heart was like a knife, his own minister of the world actually left like this, so he hated Wei even more. However, thinking of Wei Kai's instructions when he left, "Internet talents, change the law to strengthen the country", Han Wangwu had another motivation in his heart, and he must reorganize South Korea. As for the back, King Han set up a bright top to recruit talents like Yang Xiao and Xie Xun, and Wei Kai said that he would not carry such a pot.
In any case, Wei Kai's strategy of borrowing Han Mengqi was basically successful.
