The capital of Wei, the Great Liang.

It is a very young capital, and it has only been 100 years since King Wei Hui moved his capital to Daliang in 361 BC.

The name of the city may sound unfamiliar, but when it comes to the many names that the city has changed since then, such as "Chenliu", "Bianjing" or "Kaifeng", many people must be very familiar with it.

If you find an old nobleman of Wei in Daliang City and ask him to describe the awesome situation of Wei back then, then this old nobleman of Wei will definitely be able to talk to you for three days and three nights without stopping.

As the first overlord country in the Warring States Period, the Wei State of that year was the existence of gray cowhide coaxing, it can be said that it was a fist to the small Qin State in Guanzhong, kicked the Great Qi State in the East, rejected the Jianghuai Chu barbarians in the south, swallowed Zhongshan Zhu Dirong in the north, and stood in the Central Plains and stomped his feet: "Stand up if you are not convinced!" "Dozens or hundreds of vassal states, not one dares to speak.

At that time, the Wei State was definitely the first-class leader among the heroes of the Warring States, the big brother. Even the so-called Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty trembled in the light of the King of Wei and prayed for the protection of the King of Wei.

But that's all in the past.

After this old nobleman has given you a memory of this glorious history, you can tell him that now your Wei State is just a country trembling in front of the soldiers of the Qin State, and the territory in its heyday has shrunk by half to the top, and even the former capital Anyi has fallen into the hands of the Qin people.

If you really say that, congratulations, please be prepared to be beaten up by this angry old nobleman and the Wei people passing by nearby.

Without further ado, it is said that although the Wei State is no longer as prosperous as the invincible opponent in the world at this moment, after all, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Wei State is located in the Central Plains, in Zhang Yi's words, it is "the land is flat, the princes are all spoken, and the nameless mountains and rivers are limited." "Daliang City is surrounded by a dense water network and developed shipping, which is extremely convenient to travel to any country, so this well-connected city is still extremely prosperous today.

It was noon in early August, and the scorching summer sun hung high in the middle of the sky, and the scorching sun was spilling down from the cloudless clear sky, making everyone sweat on the road.

At the north gate of Daliang, thousands of Wei honor guards lined up in high spirits, and dozens of Wei officials lined up on both sides of the road in formal attire, looking as if they were waiting for something.

And at the front of these honor guards is a very luxurious carriage, on the carriage sits a man who is over the age of standing, I saw this man with a wide robe and large sleeves, a graceful demeanor, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a crown, very handsome and chic, at first glance it looks like the standard middle-aged successful person in the Warring States period - and it is especially the kind with a high appearance.

This aristocratic man is the most handsome, outstanding, and virtuous of the famous "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States", and at the same time the youngest one - the thirty-six-year-old Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid that others are better than you, you are afraid that others are not only better than you, but also more handsome than you. This Xinling Jun Wei Wuji belongs to the kind of chosen person who stands at the peak of IQ and appearance.

It is worth mentioning that this Xinlingjun also has a very famous die-hard brain/residual fan, this fan is called Liu Bang, the Han Gaozu Liu Bang who eliminated Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty.

As the son of the former monarch of Wei Zhao, and the younger brother of the current monarch Wei Wangyu (reading fish), Xinling Jun Wei Wuji is a well-deserved important minister of Wei, and his status in Wei is equivalent to the status of his brother-in-law Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng in Zhao.

Sima Qian once described the role of Xinling Jun in "Historical Records: The Biography of the Prince of Wei": "When it was, the princes were virtuous and virtuous, and they did not dare to increase their troops to seek Wei for more than ten years. ”

The meaning of this sentence is that because the monarchs of various countries were jealous of Wei Wuji and felt that this person was too powerful, the Warring States Princes, including the Qin State, did not send troops to attack the Wei State for more than ten years.

In the name of one person, in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, where there was a small battle every year and a big battle in three or five years, Wei Wuji's talent can be seen to keep the peace of Wei for more than ten years.

Although Wei Wuji is not the Xiangbang of Wei, the words he said are often more effective than Xiangbang's words.

Such a big man who stamped his feet and had to tremble three times in the Wei Kingdom, of course, he would not be full, he had nothing to do, and he came to the city gate at noon with a guard of honor on a hot day to bask in the sun.

The reason why Wei Wuji appeared here today was to welcome Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch who was not only Wei Wuji's brother-in-law, but also the envoy of the Zhao State, and a member of the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States" like Wei Wuji.

In the scorching summer, the air was full of compelling heat waves, Wei Wuji on the carriage sat for a while and beads of sweat appeared on his cheeks, turned his head to look at the Wei officials who were already sweating profusely behind him, Wei Wuji called the attendants around him: "Let's go and get the summer soup and share it with the officials." ”

The summer soup was quickly taken, and after the officials of Wei State drank this bowl of soup, the heat in their bodies suddenly dissipated a lot, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Wei Wuji, and they all thought in their hearts: "Xinling Jun, worthy of the name of Xianjun!" ”

After a while, dust and smoke rose from the road outside the north gate, and a convoy of hundreds of people slowly came south from the main road to the north, and the convoy of envoys from Zhao State arrived.

Xinlingjun coughed, straightened up slightly, and ordered: "Everyone, come with me to greet Pingyuanjun, don't lose your courtesy!" ”

After a while, the convoy of the envoys of the Zhao State arrived, and Zhao Sheng, the Plain Monarch, also appeared in Wei Wuji's sight.

"Xinling-kun!" Zhao Sheng's hearty laughter reached Wei Wuji's ears almost at the same time: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Xinlingjun is as beautiful as ever, it's better to win!" ”

Wei Wuji smiled slightly, and bowed back to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuan Jun is now the prime minister of Zhao State, the authority of the country, and the important minister of the country, Wuji is not as good as Pingyuan Jun!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after some tedious but necessary diplomatic etiquette, the brother-in-law Wei Wuji took his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng, and the two entered the city hand in hand, surrounded by many officials and guards of the two countries.

Before Zhao Sheng, officials of Zhao State had already come to fight and set up a charter, and tomorrow Wei State would hold a great court meeting, and this time the court meeting was the time when Zhao Sheng officially met with Wei Wangyu. So the two of them traveled in the same car and did not go to the palace, but came to Wei Wuji's mansion in Daliang City.

In Wei Wuji's mansion, a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared, and Wei Wuji was here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for his brother-in-law.

Because of the special relationship between the two, this meal was not as formal and polite as those diplomatic banquets, but rather casual and enjoyable.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Sheng's face began to appear obvious red, his eyes began to be a little blurry, and he spoke with a little bit of alcohol, only to see him smile at the head of Xinlingjun: "Wuji, my intention, I must know it." Now that Zhao is in danger, I hope that Wuji and Wei will help Zhao and fight together to defeat the Qin army outside the party! ”

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, his wife is Wei Wuji's only half-sister, and Zhao and Wei are still allies of the same spirit, so this trip of his own envoy is not hand-to-hand?

However, what Zhao Sheng didn't expect was that Wei Wuji not only did not agree immediately after hearing Zhao Sheng's words, but also showed a wry smile on his face.

"Pingyuan-kun, this matter... I'm afraid it's quite difficult. ”
