Chapter 107: The Guest's Idea (Ten Thousand Rewards)
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, has always been a polite and virtuous corporal, and a virtuous name for impatience and righteousness.
In fact, it was not only Xinlingjun alone, but throughout the Warring States period, there were many nobles who liked to raise scholars, not only to gain a reputation, but also to find many right-hand men.
Among them, the most famous is the so-called Four Gentlemen of the Warring States, Wei Wuji, the King of Xinling, and Zhao Sheng, the King of the Plains, who were present, were among them.
A person like Wei Wuji, when faced with his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng's request for help, of course, could not be indifferent.
After all, Wei Wuji has always been a staunch supporter of Lian Zhao Kangqin.
In fact, in order to implement the strategic policy of Lian Zhao's resistance to Qin, Wei Wuji had entered the palace many times to persuade Wei Wangyu.
But the problem is that under the persuasion of Gao Ji of the Longyang Army and Duan Ganzi, the senior doctor of the Wei State, Wei Wangyu seems to have made up his mind to attack the Zhao State, and does not pay attention to Wei Wuji's advice.
Judging from the information that Wei Wuji received from the close people around Wei Wangyu in the palace, it seems that Wei Wangyu is just waiting for a suitable time to make a move.
Once the situation of the Changping War changed, and after Wei Wangyu confirmed that Zhao would definitely lose to Qin, the king of Wei would order the Wei general Jin to take advantage of the fire and attack Handan City.
The border between Zhao and Wei is the richest southeast plain of Zhao, and Wei has coveted this place as early as the time when the three families were divided.
It's just that although Wei Wuji already knew about such news, he didn't tell Zhao Sheng about it.
After all, this was not good news for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Guo, and on the other hand, Wei Wuji also felt that it was not yet the last moment, so he might be able to persuade Wei Wangyu to change his mind.
It's just that as time passed, Wei Wuji looked at his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng, who haunted his eyes like a dog skin plaster every day, and felt more and more in his heart that this was not a thing.
But Wei Wuji really didn't have any good way to solve this problem himself, so what should he do?
The first way Wei Wuji thought of was, of course, to ask his own doorman, that is, the "scholar" raised by Wei Wuji.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise a soldier and use it for a while. Wei Wuji has raised these disciples for so many years, isn't it just to let them help Wei Wuji solve the problem at this time?
In fact, Wei Wuji's disciples are very powerful, especially in the construction of intelligence networks, thanks to the help of the doormen Tang He and others, the intelligence system in the Xinling Monarch's Mansion can be said to be pervasive, even stronger than the official intelligence system of Wei.
An incident that happened a few years ago can be used as evidence.
At that time, Wei Wuji had just helped Wei Wang Yu to defeat Meng Wenjun Tian Wen, forcing Tian Wen to resign and return to the fiefdom, and the relationship between Wei Wang Yu and Wei Wuji reached the peak of the honeymoon period, and the two brothers often met to discuss state affairs or have fun.
One day, when Wei Wuji was playing chess with Wei Wangyu, someone suddenly hurriedly came to Wei Wangyu and said: "There are a large number of Zhao troops on the border of Zhao and Wei, and it seems that Zhao wants to send troops to attack Wei."
Wei Wangyu was naturally shocked when he heard this, you must know that King Zhao at that time was still Zhao Dan's father Zhao Huiwen Wang, that is a rare existence that can wrestle with Qin Wangji without falling behind, if King Zhao Huiwen really sent troops to attack Wei, then Wei would be in big trouble.
But just when Wei Wangyu was frightened into having no master, Wei Wuji, who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard, was calm and calm, and said to his own brother Guojun: "The king is worry-free, King Zhao is out hunting, not for Kouye." ”
When Wei Wangyu heard this, of course he didn't believe it. The widow is the king of Wei, who has the power of the entire Wei country, and he doesn't know how many capable people he has.
What even the widow is not sure of, you Wei Wuji can know with just a son?
So Wei Wangyu immediately ordered the mobilization of the army, and at the same time sent more scouts to investigate.
As a result, the chickens and dogs jumped for a long time, and the scouts of Wei came to report: "Back to the king, the king of Zhao went out to hunt, not into the court." ”
It's exactly what Wei Wuji just said.
But the problem was that Wei Wuji knew the news several hours earlier than the Wei scouts under Wei Wangyu!
At this moment, Wei Wangyu was really shocked, and hurriedly asked Wei Wuji: "How did Gongzi know?" ”
At this time, Wei Wuji was still very young, and he said very straightforwardly: "Among the ministers' guests, there are those who can get deep into the affairs of King Zhao. ”
At that time, when Wei Wangyu heard this, a cool breath came directly from the soles of his feet to his head.
This Wei Wuji actually made the intelligence network so deep and so developed, and was able to know in advance the every move of King Zhao Huiwen who was far away in Handan, so Wei Wangyu, the monarch who was close at hand and even met with Wei Wuji every day, wouldn't Wei Wuji be able to figure it out clearly how many times he had a night with his concubine, and a few minutes at a time?
It's just horrible!
From this day on, Wei Wangyu made up his mind to start alienating Wei Wuji and supporting his political enemies against Wei Wuji.
Therefore, if a person does not show his talents in front of the leader, then he will definitely not be reused by the leader, but if he shows his talent excessively, to the point that even the leader is afraid of it, it is not a good thing.
The price paid by the young Wei Wuji for this was quite heavy.
Even so, Wei Wuji didn't give up on raising a monk because of this.
On the contrary, as Wei Wuji's fame grew, more and more people came to him, including some capable people.
The reason why Wei Wuji was able to stand in the court of Wei for many years without being seen by the king of Wei was that Wei Wuji's own ability was of course the main factor, but the staff of these disciples he raised also played a great role.
But in the matter of how to persuade Wei Wangyu to change his mind, Wei Wuji's disciples did not have any good way.
After all, Wei Wangyu's distrust of Wei Wuji has almost reached the point where Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, and no matter how reasonable Wei Wuji's words are, they will be discounted by Wei Wangyu's side.
With such a reality, it is too difficult to convince Wei Wangyu.
In the midst of a gloomy atmosphere, an idea was proposed.
"Although we can't solve the king's worries, but with the size of the world and the number of capable people, there must be capable people who can solve the king's worries."
This sentence instantly woke up everyone present, so everyone used their brains to try to recall, racking their brains to think about what kind of person could have the ability to help Xinlingjun solve this trouble.
As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and the disciples of Xinling Jun really found a possible candidate as soon as they totaled it.
This person's name is Hou Ying.
And at today's banquet, in addition to the host Wei Wuji and the distinguished guest Zhao Sheng, another guy who is qualified to attend and eat and drink there is this Hou Ying.
