Chapter 129: The Meaning of Xinling-kun
Seeing that her mother did not cooperate and was unwilling to go, Peng Yu and Peng Zhou had no choice. Right now! The only way is to act at the opportunity and wait for Wei Ran's people to arrive.
So! Peng Yu and Peng Zhou never mentioned the matter of leaving. The family has a lot to say about this topic aside.
As a mother, being able to see her son naturally has countless things to ask. There are many words, how many times have they been repeated. But she didn't think it at all, and continued to ask.
Hu asked Peng Yu for a while, Peng Zhou for a while, and then about Princess Ye and her grandson and granddaughter.
When she learned that Princess Ye had given birth to four grandsons and a granddaughter, she laughed with joy on the spot. It's a pity that there is nothing memorable on his body, and there is no jade. Otherwise! She will be like the nobles, every grandson will give jade.
Nobles generally give away jade, jewelry, etc.
After asking about Princess Ye's side, she asked her daughter Peng Eel's family about it.
In fact! She knows something about Peng Eel's side. Because! Peng Eel married to Qin as a princess of Wei, and Wei and Qin were married. So! The two sides are going to exchange messages.
For example! When the envoys came and went with each other, the king of Wei and the king of Qin would deliberately mention it, indicating that they cared about the princess and son-in-law, and then asked the envoy to bring the news back.
For example! When the envoys of Wei went to Qin to do business, the king of Wei would give an explanation and ask the envoys to inquire about the news of the princess and greet the princess. Or! Bring some small gifts and let King Qin pass them on. And what about the Qin State! After the envoy came, he would also take the initiative to mention the matter of the princess of Wei. Or! Give some gifts, saying that they were ordered by the princess of Wei.
In fact! It's all diplomatic etiquette.
When relations between the two countries are reconciled, news will be exchanged. Once the war started, there was no such etiquette again. Even! will also find a reason to put the married princess into the "cold palace", in order to show his own attitude.
After asking about Peng Eel, Hu asked about Peng Zhou. Hearing that Wei Ran was going to marry her daughter to Peng Zhou, she immediately objected. I don't think it's good, it's not that I'm climbing, it's being controlled.
Imagine! You are Wei Ran's son-in-law, can you not do things for your father-in-law?
"Wei Xiang's family has no daughters of the right age, even if there is, I am against it! We are ordinary people, we can't climb up to others! Didn't Zhou'er say that she was going to seclusion? Then you go to seclusion! In your seclusion, find a girl from a poor family. And then! Live your life steadily! ”
"Mother! I listen to my mother! Peng Zhou agreed.
In fact! What about Peng Zhou's idea?
If you marry Wei Ran's daughter or become the son-in-law of King Qin, then! You're in big trouble. If you are the son-in-law of Wei Ran or King Qin, can you fight without leading troops?
King Qin wants to unify the world, can you not do things for your father-in-law?
So! There is no need for Hu Shi to remind him, he will also find a way to resign!
Time passed imperceptibly, and it was dawn.
The Hu mother and son talked for a night, and they didn't finish their words, and they didn't feel sleepy at all. Didn't stop until it was time for breakfast. After washing up, go to the restaurant for breakfast.
King Wei, as usual, went to the court after breakfast to deal with state affairs.
The court hall of Wei is inside the Wei Palace, but there is a door that opens to the outside.
The court side is almost an independent courtyard, and in addition to the gate facing outside, there is only one door leading to the inner palace inside. Other words! If you want to attack the inner palace from the court, it is impossible. As soon as they close the door, they cut you off from the inside.
Because there are often foreign envoys or envoys of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty in the court, it belongs to the foreign unit. Facing south in the direction of the hall, a large area recessed in the wall of the Wei Palace, with a wide square in front of it where carriages could be parked. Then there are the steps up to which there is a platform, behind which there are several steps, and behind it is a palace.
The palace in front is not the court hall of the Wei State, but the window to the outside. All visitors and civil and military courtiers had to pass through the palace and enter the backyard. The palace in the backyard is the real court.
And then later! It is a high wall. Inside the wall, is the real Wei Palace.
After dealing with the court, the king of Wei returned with Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling. The two of them didn't go anywhere else, and went straight to the study.
"I'm going to release them!" After taking his seat, King Wei said impatiently.
"Release? Who to put? Xinling Jun Wei Wuji didn't understand for a while, and asked suspiciously.
"Hu Shi!"
"Hu?"
"Peng Yu's mother-in-law, Hu Shi!" King Wei was afraid that Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, did not understand, so he said carefully.
"You're going to let her go? Brother Wang! You? When Xin Lingjun heard this, he didn't understand it on the spot.
"What? You disagree? ”
"Me?" Xinling Jun Wei Wuji hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, please give me a reason?" You? Didn't you say? Did the Hu family voluntarily stay in the Wei Palace? She doesn't want to go herself, why do you let her go? ”
Wei Wuji thought to himself: It's up to you to let people go or not! What am I? I'm just a courtier! No! I'm just a nosyman! Can you listen to me if I don't let it go?
"Brother Wang, I figured it out! King Qin or Wei Ran are going to attack our Wei State, what else does he care about you, Peng Yu? Isn't it? Peng Yu was just a chess piece in front of King Qin or Wei Ran. What is he? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"So! King Qin or Wei Ran asked him to bring troops to attack us, can he still do it? Disobey orders? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"Brother Wang, I think so! Although I didn't deliberately want to take Hu Shi as a hostage, but this hostage was given to me by him Peng Yu? Isn't it? Right now! They want to take Hu away! I feel like I'm just satisfying them! Otherwise! And say that I took their mother hostage? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"I'll just be a favor! Let their mothers go! Don't be a hostage! I'm so interesting, do he Peng Yu and Peng Zhou brothers still have trouble with me? Isn't it? If I don't let them go, they may resent me! Isn't it? Right now! I'm determined! Let go! ”
"This?"
"If this hostage is of little use, why should I keep her! Let her go! King Wei said, looking at Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, hoping to get the support of the other party.
"Brother Wang! This one? I think! Let's respect Hu's opinion! If you deliberately let people go, wouldn't it be too good? Wei Wuji thought for a moment and said.
In fact! In his heart, he didn't want to let go!
Anyway! With a hostage in hand, the Qin State will have something taboo. After all! Peng Yu is a talent. If you offend this talent, then why bother??
And that's why! Since Peng Yu became famous in the Qin State, the Qin State has not done anything to the Wei State.
So! If you let the hostages go, isn't that the same as: let others have no care?
