Chapter 450: Proposed Substitution
This voice came suddenly, and the king of Wei immediately looked into the palace, but saw the doctor come out of the crowd and bow in the hall.
"The king, as Xiangguo said, the kindness of the two countries of Saito should not be rejected by our Wei State, and we should send ministers to Teng State to serve as Xiangguo. In order to warn the brutal Song State not to fight Teng again. However, regarding the candidate for Teng Xiang, the minister thought that it still needs to be discussed. ”
Hearing Ru'er's objection to Gongzi Ning's appointment as Teng Xiang, Tian Wen immediately spoke: "Doctor Shang, I don't know if you think Gongzi Ning's talent is not enough to serve as Teng Xiang, or is there a better candidate in my Wei Kingdom?" ”
When King Wei heard this, he immediately looked at Ru Er hesitantly.
Gongzi Ning is his favorite son, who has been influenced by Confucianism and is outstanding, how can he be insufficient.
As for the better candidates, in addition to the prince Ning who was loved by King Wei, the better hostage was naturally the crown prince.
But let the crown prince go to the state of Qi as a hostage, whether this is whether the state of Qi has a request for the state of Wei or the state of Wei for the state of Qi, the price paid by the state of Qi is not enough for the prince of the state of Wei to make a sacrifice.
Or is Ru'er opposed to the friendship between Qi and Wei?
Thinking about it, King Wei's eyes suddenly changed.
"Don't dare." Ru Er arched his hand to Tian Wenyi, and then said: "With the talent of the son, it is naturally easy to be a Teng Xiang. It's just that the reason why I say that Gongzi Ning is not suitable is for another reason. ”
As he spoke, Ru Er walked up to Gongzi Ning, the protagonist of the topic, and bowed and said: "Childe, it is not to question Childe's ability to govern the country, but to ask Childe for advice." ”
Gongzi Ning Weiwei had the air of a gentleman, and was not annoyed by Ru'er's objection, but asked calmly: "Doctor Shang, just ask." ”
Ru Er nodded and asked, "If Gongzi serves as Teng Xiang and is attacked by heavy troops from other countries, how will Gongzi respond?" ”
Around Teng, it is either Qi or Song, if the Song State attacks, or even the Chu and Song coalition forces attack, what should I do?
Gongzi Ning opened his mouth and said: "Teng State is weak, surrounded by big countries, if the enemy country attacks, Teng State will definitely not be able to fight, so it can only place the people in the city, and then defend Teng City to wait for reinforcements." ”
Ru Er asked again: "What if the reinforcements are held back by other countries, and the son is trapped in the lonely city, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time?" ”
Gongzi Ning said as a matter of course: "That Gongzi naturally coexisted and died with Tengcheng." ”
Everyone in the hall nodded when they heard this.
Although Gongzi Ning's answer was not brilliant, a coexistence and death expressed the integrity of the prince of Wei.
The food of the king bears the worries of the king, and the king humiliates the ministers to death, which is as it should be.
Ru Er got the answer she wanted from Gongzi Ning's mouth, nodded, and did not continue to ask, but bowed her hand to Gongzi Ning and said, "Gongzi Gaoyi." ”
Saying that, without waiting for Gongzi Ning to return the salute, he returned to the palace again, saluted to King Wei and said: "Great King, this is what the minister is worried about, I am not worried that Gongzi will not be able to govern Teng State, I am only worried that Gongzi will be in danger in Teng State." ”
After speaking, Ru'er's face showed a sad color, and he bowed to the king of Wei: "King, that Tengcheng is still in the confrontation between Qi and Chu, and the danger is in a hurry. The king, the king of Song has already killed Teng Jun, who has spread the name of benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and he doesn't even care about Teng Jun, let alone Teng Xiang. The King of Song is famous..."
Ru'er's words were full of worry, as if he was completely thinking about Gongzi Ning, and the ministers of Wei thought that this was what it should be.
However, Qiu Li, as a Song envoy, heard Ru'er slandering the King of Song in front of the Song envoy, and immediately coughed violently twice, interrupting Ru'er's words.
King Wei heard Ru'er's words, then heard Qiu Li's coughing god, looked at Ru'er, then looked at Qiu Li, and then looked at Gongzi Ning.
Looking at Gongzi Ning's delicate face, King Wei suddenly froze and fell into hesitation.
Gongzi Ning saw that King Wei looked at him hesitantly, and immediately saluted: "Great King, the Teng State is now covered with war clouds, and it is precisely because of this that the support of the Wei State is needed to inspire people. As the son of Wei, the minister can be said to have a very high status in Wei. As long as the minister arrives in Tengdi, it will greatly encourage the resistance of the people of Tengdi. In this way, with the support of Qi and Wei, Teng will be able to firmly resist attacks from anywhere. ”
After a pause, Gongzi Ning spoke again: "Besides, if Wei Guo heard that Teng Guo was dangerous, he replaced the prince of Wei State, and then replaced it with the minister of Wei, if this matter spreads, the minister bears the reputation of cowardice and unfilial piety, and the Wei State and the king bear the name of unkindness, please investigate it carefully." ”
When King Wei heard that Gongzi insisted on going to the country of vine, he couldn't help but feel stiff.
As the saying goes, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, his own son, King Wei still understands, he is very stubborn, and when he says that he will live and die with Teng State, he will definitely do what he says.
If Childe would rather fight to the death than retreat, what would be the consequences.
Thinking of King Song's personality, King Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Speaking of the King of Song, this person, but bold and reckless, when he was young, he was very brave, known as the strength to bend and stretch the iron hook, because he was dissatisfied with the brother of the Song Gong, so he directly raised troops to drive away the elder brother Song Jiacheng, who had been the Song Gong for forty-one years, and became the Song Gong himself.
Later, the countries respected each other's kings, and even Zhongshan Kingdom was called king, but they did not bring the king of Song with them. So, the king of Song was furious, and while the countries were organizing a siege of Qin, he proclaimed himself king. Although the countries were dissatisfied with Song's move, they had to pinch their noses and admit it because they were preparing to attack Qin.
Teng Jun is famous and has a high reputation in Teng State, but King Song has no scruples, not only did not use Teng Jun to buy the hearts of the people, but directly killed him.
For such a Song King who has no taboos and likes all his heart, King Wei really has some worries in his heart.
In the event that the Qi-Wei coalition army was defeated in the battle with the Chu-Song coalition army, and the Song State recaptured Tengcheng, then Ning, the prince of Teng State, might really be cut down by the King of Song to retaliate against the Wei State.
Thinking about it, King Wei's gaze turned from Gongzi Ning to Ru'er, and asked, "Although Tengcheng is dangerous, how can a widow be reluctant to give up his son and replace it with other ministers, this is inappropriate." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gongzi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Wen's face stiffened, and Ru'er, who was watched by King Wei, showed great joy.
This is inappropriate, and it is the voice of King Wei.
The matter of replacing Gongzi Ning with other ministers, King Wei agreed, but he could not use the reason that Teng was dangerous, he King Wei was not a person who was reluctant to have a son.
Ru Er immediately bowed his hand and said: "King, now in the land of Tengxue, hundreds of thousands of Qi Chu troops are fighting against each other, and the war is about to break out. And Qi is our ally, and Chu is also our ally, our Wei State sent a minister to Teng State at this moment, the purpose is to keep Teng State, and the next step is to persuade Qi and Chu to make peace.
Therefore, the minister thought that it was time to send an experienced and veteran minister to serve as Teng Xiang, so as to show the sincerity of our Wei State. ”
