Chapter 31 King Qin Succeeds to the Throne Wei Kai is demoted
Hearing the news of King Qin's death, Wei Xingxing was still a little sad, after all, King Qin was also very kind to Wei Kai, and he was a very kind old man. In addition, the scene of the hero's twilight always brings tears to the eyes of onlookers.
As for Gongsun Acne's death, Wei Xingxing did not have a trace of turmoil. It's not that Wei Kai is hard-hearted, but what Wei Kai suffered in Anyi was not caused by Gongsun Acne's weakness?
When burying Uncle Wei, Wei Kai had already decided to say goodbye to the past. What is the remark that Wei Guo is here, and the family is here, Wei Kai doesn't want to listen to it anymore. If Gongsun Acne was really dedicated to the country, why did he do everything possible to drive out the then general Wu Qi?
The words of politicians are always so nice that people start dreaming with tears in their eyes.
Looking at Aoi curled up in his arms and sleeping soundly beside him, Wei Kai felt that everything might be just right.
But maybe it was Wei Kai's teasing, and the sleeping Aoi soon woke up. Looking at Aoi who woke up and still held himself and buried his head in his arms, yesterday's events were so beautiful and so crazy.
However, happiness was always short-lived, and soon Wei Kai received a summons from the King of Qin. Wei Kai, as a guest secretary, is actually mostly a favor, and he doesn't need to go to the Hajj from time to time, but mostly as a doctor, and uses it to ask questions about politics and strategies. However, this time is different, this is the first edict of the new monarch.
Riding in the carriage, Wei Kai entered the Qin Palace, which was covered with white curtains. This summoning can be regarded as Wei Kai's official entry into the political arena of the Qin State, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier.
"Minister Wei Kai sees my king, my king is ten thousand years", looking at Yingqu Liang sitting on the throne, Wei Kai immediately saluted.
Ying Quliang looked at Wei Kai who was kneeling in the hall, remembered his father's words, looked at Wei Kai carefully, and said after a while: "Mr. Wei Kai, please get up."
After Wei Kai got up, Hei Bo, who had been waiting for a long time, took the edict and said to Wei Kai: "Lord Keqing, the first monarch has an edict left for you." When Wei Kai heard this, he quickly knelt down again.
"Today, Wei Kai is the guest secretary of my Qin State, and he can use many people, and he is a widow who edicts Wei Kai to be Chen Cangling, and he shows his talents. I hope that Wei Kai will live up to his talents and live up to Jun's grace."
When Hei Bo finished reading the edict, the ministers in the palace were all surprised.
Chen Cangling? This official position is the first time the ministers of the Qin State have heard of it. However, even if it is a new county, who is Wei Kai? That's Xinjun's henchman. Not to mention how the new monarch is pampered, the battle of Shaoliang made everyone in the palace have to admire this young man.
Now he actually let Wei Kai, a great talent, serve as Chen Cangling, isn't this a big talent and a little use? Suddenly, the ministers in the palace whispered, and there was a noise in the court, which was out of control. You must know that Xinjun's other confidant, Jing Jian, is now serving as the internal history, and he is a high-ranking official in charge of the country's finances.
At this time, Ying Qian, who had a violent personality on the side, looked at the noisy court, and said loudly: "What is the noise, the court is not a market at this time." If you dare to be presumptuous and disturb the court, don't blame the sword in my hand", then pulled out the sword, and cut off the desk in front of him with a sword, and suddenly the court was quiet.
However, Wei Kai, who was kneeling in the hall, seemed to have heard of it a long time ago, and his face remained unchanged to take over the edict of the ancestor in Hei Bo's hand, which made the ministers above the court strange, including the new monarch Yingquliang sitting on the throne.
Yingquliang also knew that his monarch had left an edict for Wei Kai, and thought it was a will to reward and encourage.
You must know that the actual position of the Qin State has long been divided between the Qin royal family and the Shi family, and the appointment of Wei Kai to the real position means that someone will lose his official position, which is extremely unfavorable to the Qin State that has just been seriously injured. Therefore, Wei Kaicai was only awarded the position of guest secretary, but this is also the highest honor, which shows the importance that the first king attached to Wei Kai.
I thought it was a testament and reward, but I didn't expect it to be like this, but now seeing that Wei Kai seemed to know the will of the former king in advance, Ying Quliang was very confused in his heart.
Without waiting for the ministers to discuss again, Hei Bo took out the second edict.
"Grant Chen Cang Decree Wei Kai, Chen Cang's domestic affairs, no matter how big or small, Chen Cang Decree can be decided in one word, and others are not allowed to intervene. Whoever violates this order shall be beheaded, and will not avoid the princely family."
As soon as this decree came out, the court set off a lot of discussions, so that the things discussed in the court became boring in the future.
After the next dynasty, the ministers of the family in the palace looked at Wei Kai, who was standing quietly on the side with two edicts, and pointed.
"Alas, isn't this the king of the ripping earth?" After looking at Wei Kai, a minister of the clan sighed.
"What about rippling? Is there anyone else there in Chencang? Hey hey"
"Yes, these untouchables have long since fled, hahaha"
Listening to the ridicule between the clans, Wei Kai didn't care, so he left the Qin Palace directly, returned to the mansion, and began to prepare for Chen Cang's trip.
Chencang is located in the southwest of Yongcheng, the old capital of Qin, and is more than 150 miles away from Yongcheng. Usually, Chen Cang is just a code name, after all, the Qin people are poor, but they are also treated harshly by the clan, and the people have fled, and there are often no people in remote places.
During the day, there were fireworks floating out of the village, and the next day all the farmers in the village fled, which often happened in Qin, especially in Chencang, on the border between Qin and Shu.
So much so that the peasants who did not have time to escape were captured by the local clans, shackled, and reduced to slavery.
Wei Kai had heard of these things, both in the history books of his previous life and in the records of the Qin State. However, what surprised Wei Kai the most was the second will of King Qin.
Recalling that "matters in Chencang's territory, no matter how big or small, Chencang's order can be decided in one word", Wei Kai sighed, this is to let Wei Kai change the law in Chencang, but Wei Kai ......... Alas.
As for the first will, Wei Kai had already had the corresponding awareness. As a courtier, he participated in the succession of the monarch without authorization, and it was already the mercy of the previous Qin kings not to kill.
The reason why Wei Kai discussed the change with Ying Quliang was to open his mind and let him have a clear understanding of the situation in various countries, so as to increase the weight in the heart of the former king Yingshixi.
However, the sentence "those who are capable use more" shows the warning of the first king to Wei Kai. It is true that the affairs of the royal family are not for the courtiers to participate in without authorization, although Yingquliang is indeed suitable for succeeding the king of Qin.
I'm afraid I also have the meaning of being afraid of Wei Kai, after all, Yingquliang admires Wei Kai very much, I am still too anxious, Wei Kai patted his head and thought in his heart.
In the next few days, Wei Kai was busy handing over the Chen Cang Order with the Qin State Mansion, not only to explore the current situation of Chen Cang, but also to study and sort out the matters that should be paid attention to in the officialdom. Aoi was at home, so she sorted out the housekeeping as Mrs. Wei Kai and bought some necessities at the same time.
Looking at Aoi, who has been busy in the past few days, Wei Kai patted his head, he and Kui are now in Yingqu Liang Mansion, and everything is done by the servants of the mansion, so much so that he actually forgot to recruit servants and guards.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Wei Kai came to Liyang City, a place to buy and sell people. The commercial trade in Liyang City is not developed, but the place where human trafficking is very lively, after all, in the slave society, the slave owners are the most profitable is human trafficking.
Looking at the people around him who were like animals and imprisoned in cages, Wei Kai seemed to be in a world, and his body instinctively rejected everything outside, but he endured it vividly.
The housekeeper on the side, looking at the disgust in Wei Kai's eyes, hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Sir, it's all low-grade here, and the good ones are in there."
Watching the housekeeper look at the people in the cage like a commodity, looking at the outstretched hands in the cages, and listening to their cries for help such as "Master, buy me", Wei Xingzhong felt pain, but now the situation is like this, how sad and angry Wei Xingzhong is, what is it?
In troubled times, this is the case, killing all the people in the world is the best among the people
Where wealth gathers, the human imagination is more open. As soon as he entered the main meeting place of human trafficking, Wei Kai seemed to have returned to the Wei State Gathering Hall, but the difference was that the former sold human beings, and the latter sold knowledge.
Separated by a door, the poverty and luxury inside are extremely desired, and the fragrance of wine hides the heinous sins outside. Looking at the flowers and plants wandering around, the extravagant and exquisite decorations, even in the Wei Palace, not to mention the Qin Palace, which has always been dominated by simplicity.
However, a sudden noise interrupted Wei Kai's thoughts, and following the sound, Wei Kai saw several servants beating up a few men in strange costumes, and a few servants next to him were pulling out a few women.
"Stop fighting.... Aru ......"
"I don't... put...."
Seeing that Wei Kai noticed the chaos over there, the butler hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, these are slaves of the Wu clan, with strange personalities, rudeness, and often injuring their masters, so they are not suitable to be slaves."
However, Wei Kai didn't seem to hear what he said, so he walked straight over and said, "I bought these people."
The servant who was beating the man on the ground looked at Wei Kai who was wearing luxurious clothes beside him. Hurriedly said: "This nobleman, these are witch slaves, worthless. Although the witch is a good woman, but in bed, I'm afraid that the nobles can't stand it", after speaking, looking at Wei Kai's young face, she smiled lewdly.
One of the servants stretched out his hand and patted Wei Kai on the shoulder, looked at the women in the group of slaves in strange costumes, and said with a smile: "Nobleman, let me tell you, if you use medicine, the small one is accurate, and the noble person can ......be refreshed."
Before his hand touched Wei Kai, the person was gently pulled by Wei Kai and was thrown out. The servants next to him hurriedly stepped forward when they saw this, but suddenly there was a coquettish shout: "Stand down", and those fierce servants instantly turned into rats and stood aside obediently.
At this time, I saw that in the crowd, out of the crowd came out a man wearing white patterned clothes, with a cyan belt around his waist, a slender figure, and a tall chest, and walked out slowly, looking at Wei Kai and laughing: "This nobleman, these pickled servants don't have long eyes, and they disturb your good deeds." Upstairs, we have a beautiful woman, waiting for you to taste it."
Wei Kai looked at the woman in front of him who thought she had a delicate face, and thought that as soon as she finished beating the dog, the owner came out, tilted her head and said, "The best beauty is in front of you, why do you want to go upstairs?" As soon as these words came out, the people around them all stepped back in fear and looked at Wei Kai with sympathetic eyes.
Wei Kai looked at the vicious gaze in the eyes of the woman in front of him, thinking that he didn't expect to make a joke, and it was estimated that he had met someone who was against the scales, so he changed the topic and pointed to the group of aliens: "How do these people sell?" ”
The woman in red was really angry in her heart, she had served as the chief housekeeper for more than ten years, and she was most disgusted by others mocking her like this, not to mention that she was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old person today, so she smiled and said: "Ten gold, you can take it all."
When I heard it around, ten gold, this is not a small amount, and it is still to buy these lowly witch clans, this is a bloody deal.
Wei Kai looked at the few people who fell to the ground and said, "Do you have anyone else?" ”
Those who had already been trembling with fear by the brutal servant just now looked at Wei Kai in horror at this time, unable to say a word.
Wei Kai asked several times, but there was no response, and he was a little impatient in his heart. Then a little boy said, "And my sister and their ........."
When Wei Kai heard this, he thought to himself, just now he heard those servants talk about the "wonderful use" of the witch, and now he didn't find a young woman in this group, so he turned around and said to the woman in red with a smile: "This master, it seems that there are still some people missing, right?" ”
When the woman in red heard this, she picked up the abacus in her hand, and after it snapped, she sneered at Wei Kai and said, "Now I need twenty gold."
Wei Kai didn't seem to hear what the woman said, and when he saw that the young woman who had already been taken away was now released, he asked the housekeeper to take them back to the house.
"This nobleman, now that the person has taken it away, should the money be .......?"
Before he finished speaking, a large bag of gold was thrown to the red-clothed steward, Wei Kai tilted his head at the steward and smiled: "The rest is what I will reward you, today's service is great", and also left the venue.
Looking at Wei Kai, who was walking away, the woman in red's face turned blue in an instant, and her little hands were dragged to death.
Wei Kai, who returned to the house, saw that Aoi was directing the servants to cook and boil water for the group of people he had bought, so he went up and hugged Aoi from behind and said, "Just let the servants be busy." Aoi was also frightened, looked at Wei Kai who was holding him, and replied happily: "Wei Lang, entrust these to me, and the slave will be done."
Looking at Aoi with a serious face, Wei Kai couldn't say anything, so he told her not to be respectful in everything and take care of herself. Now, Wei Kai had more important things to do, so he came to the place where the group of witches who had been brought back lived.
The child's laughter can be heard from afar, and after a short period of comfort, the child can always quickly adapt to the new environment and be the first to rejuvenate. However, seeing Wei Kai coming, the child who was still playing just now ran into the house in an instant, and strangers are always the natural enemies of children.
When he came to the house, Wei Kai looked at the people who had already been waiting for him, and he was not afraid, and after pouring himself a glass of water, he said, "Can you tell me this master, who are you?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a majestic man, who said in a heavy voice: "We thank you for your help, but we will not be a slave to you, we will naturally leave after a rest."
"........ Underworld"
"Don't want us to submit to you"
Wei Kai looked at the noisy crowd and said with a smile: "Leave? When you leave this house, a slave hunter will take you back. What will you rely on to get out next time? Leaning on the ground and howling? Or by women? This time, I'm glad that the unlucky owner of me is willing to buy you."
The people who were noisy just now were speechless for a moment, but their eyes staring at Wei Kai were full of anger.
Looking at the people who didn't speak, Wei Kai opened his cup of water and said, "Take a good rest, I will leave Liyang in a few days, and you may be able to leave then."
Along the way, Wei Kai felt strange about the patterns on the clothes on these people's bodies, because this was exactly the same as the pattern on the box where Uncle Wei left his own sword, and he wanted to ask clearly, but I am afraid that it will have to wait until later.
Yucheng Wei's family doesn't seem to be that simple. Wei Xingxing kept thinking that it was a pity that Wei Kai's father died early, and Uncle Wei didn't have time to tell himself in detail, so he was tragically ......., and only Wei Kai slowly discovered these things.
In the slave hall, the woman in red listened to her subordinates' secret reports about Wei Kai, and said with a smile: "I said that this nobleman, how can he have such great power", and after the subordinates retreated, a delicate face instantly turned blue, and said hatefully: "Wei Kai, if you don't kill your arrogance, who in the world will dare to obey my grandson in the future."
