Chapter 826: Wei State's Actions
On the side of Chang'an of Tang Kingdom, it was festive, ready to wait for the New Year.
The capital of Wei is here, but it is also celebrating the New Year.
Wei is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with suitable weather, high grain yield, and a large population.
There are more people on Xudu's side than in Chang'an City.
The New Year here is naturally much more lively. r>
However, at this time, there were also some disputes in the court of Wei.
On this day, there was a heavy snowfall in Xudu, and the snow was blowing one after another, as if to cover the entire capital.
There is no warm kang or anything in the main hall of Wei State, so it is surprisingly cold in winter, and Wei Cao is old, and many times he does not particularly want to go to court.
But today, he came early.
A few days ago, the ministers proposed to establish a prince, after all, now that he is older, and all the princes are gradually coming of age, it is really inappropriate not to establish a prince.
Of course, the most important point is that now Wei Cao gradually feels that Sima Yi's strength is a little terrifying, in case he really goes, and the court has not set up a prince, he is only afraid that the country of Wei will be very unfavorable.
Therefore, he must set up a crown prince as soon as possible to consolidate the country of Wei.
It's just that he can't make up his mind about his princes. Wei Cao has 200,000 princes, which can be said to be the one with the most princes among the Chinese countries, and among these 25 princes, there are three sons, Chen Siwang Wei Zhi, and the eldest son Wei Pi's talent is also good, and even, in addition to talent, the eldest son
It also has the ability to govern the country.
But his favorite is still the smartest, known as the strategic seventh son Wei Chong, when this Wei Chong was young, he used a boat to weigh the weight of an elephant, in their Wei country, but it is said to be a beautiful talk.
Of course, other princes are also capable, such as the fourth son Wei Xiong, he is very strong and strong, not weaker than those fierce generals around him.
These princes, which one has their own abilities, so it is difficult for him to choose the crown prince.
And this morning, he has to make his final decision through some observations.
For the sake of Wei, even if he doesn't want to get up, he has to get up.
Wei Cao waited in the main hall early, and after the ministers came in one after another, they all hurriedly shook off the snow on their bodies, today's snow is really big, and they suspect that when they go back, many carriages may have to go hard.
"Holy Lord, on the way here, the minister found that many people on the side of the road froze to death, this matter, the minister thought that it should be dealt with as soon as possible, and come up with a countermeasure."
Jia Xu, the prime minister of Wei, stood up, and Wei Cao nodded: "Although there are many people in Wei, they are all my Wei people, and they should be allowed to survive in winter, princes, do you have any good ways to avoid this matter?" ”
Wei Cao suddenly asked the prince, obviously to test these people, the ministers in the court are very smart, after hearing this, they don't talk much, and give the opportunity to a few princes in the court. Wei Pi, as the eldest prince, was the first to stand up: "Father, the sons and daughters think that when these people are sent to serve in labor, as long as they are willing to go, the court of our Wei State will provide them with food and clothes to avoid the cold winter, so that they have not only done things for our Wei State, but also survived.
It's a win-win-win- After Wei Pi finished speaking, Wei Cao didn't say much, just showed a light smile, at this time, Wei Zhi stood up and said: "Father, the son thinks that the reason why many people freeze to death is actually because they have lost some of their ability to work and live in poverty>
Therefore, Erchen felt that he should follow the example of the Tang State and build welfare homes in my Wei State, so that these people who are not able to survive the winter can survive the winter safely. ”
Wei Zhi obviously disagreed with Wei Pi's point of view, and among the crown princes in the court, it was basically between the two of them, and after the two of them finished saying this, the other princes began to stand in line. Wei Xiong said: "Father, the son thinks that the eldest brother is right, those people, naturally through their own labor, in exchange for the ability to survive, the reason why my Wei country is strong, is precisely because of this, if the court is to raise those people in vain, how much grain and grass will be consumed in my Wei country, it is better to use these grain and grass to raise soldiers and strengthen my Wei country." ”
"Father, the son also thinks that what the eldest brother said makes sense."
At this time, Wei Chong stood up: "Father, the son thinks that the third brother is right, those people have lost the ability to work, how to let them work again, since my Wei State wants to let them spend the winter, I should not seek anything from them, so it is merciful." ”
The princes said that there are those who support Wei Pi and those who support Wei Zhi, but relatively speaking, there are more people who support Wei Pi.
Wei Pi is indeed not as talented as Wei Zhi, but relatively speaking, he is a person with high emotional intelligence, and he has a good relationship with his younger brother and the ministers of the DPRK and China on weekdays.
Once a person is arrogant, he will naturally be alienated by others, even if Wei Zhi is very benevolent, sometimes it will suddenly make people feel that it is difficult to approach.
Everyone said this, Wei Cao didn't interrupt them, he just thought about it for a while, and then said, "This matter will be discussed later." ”
At this time, a military general stood up: "Shengshang, the minister got the news that the Han State and the Tang State are ready to join forces to destroy the Chu State, should we Wei State do something?" ”
Hearing that the Tang State and the Han State were going to join forces to destroy Chu, some people in the Wei State were stunned for a moment, because none of them thought that anyone would dare to destroy Chu, that was the overlord of Chu, not easy to provoke.
But, just because the Chu State attacked the Chang'an City of the Tang State, the Tang State was going to destroy the Chu State, and the Tang State was too capricious, right?
Everyone was shocked, but soon, everyone still focused on Wei's side.
Wei Cao even asked, "Princes, what do you think of my Wei Kingdom?" Wei Pi was still the first to stand up and said: "Father, the state of Chu is very powerful, although it was once defeated by the Tang state in Chang'an City, but the Tang state and the Han state want to destroy the state of Chu, but it is not easy, the sons think that as long as the state of Tang moves, they will fall into a protracted war with the state of Chu, and this just gave me."
The opportunity for us to annex the Chen State, as long as the Chen State is annexed, it will be much easier to fight the Tang State in the future. ”
After Wei Pi finished speaking, Wei Xiong immediately echoed: "Father, what the eldest brother said is right, as long as the Tang State and the Chu State fall into a protracted war, even if there is a Su family army here, as long as my Wei State is determined to fight and destroy the Chen State, there is no problem at all." "Father, the son also thought that he should send troops to destroy the Chen State, and he could no longer let the Tang State develop and grow like this."
