Chapter 1: The Troubled Warring States
318 BC.
This year happened to be the second year after the death of the former male lord King Wei Hui, and at this time, King Wei Hui also left a big mess for his son Wei Hei.
The Qi in the east, under the leadership of the young and vigorous Qi King Tian Bijiang, inherited the power of his father and became more and more powerful.
The state of Chu in the south also recuperated after many years of recuperation at this time, and under the governance of the Chu king Xiong Huai in the early stage, it rose at the same time as Qi and Qin, and shared the hegemony of Wei, especially in the battle of Xiangling a few years ago, it defeated tens of thousands of elites of Wei.
Not to mention the Qin State in the west, under the governance of the three generations of Ming monarchs of Xiangong, Xiaogong, and Huiwang and the Shang Dynasty reforms, it not only seriously weakened the former eastern overlord of Wei, but also occupied a large amount of territory west of the Great Wei River and Shangjun, and its ambitions to develop eastward became more and more inflated.
Zhao Yong, the reigning king of Zhao at this time, is also a young and vigorous generation of male lord martial arts king Zhao Yong, in this war-torn era, naturally he is not willing to live as a guest.
South Korea has been famous for casting strong bows and crossbows for a hundred years, especially after Shen Bu harms the strong army, the combat effectiveness of Korea's soldiers has been greatly improved, and Han Weihou also took advantage of the weakening of the neighboring Wei State when it was besieged from all sides, and other five countries that were not called kings were called kings, and changed his honorific title to King Han Xuan, as if he also had the heart to compete for hegemony with the princes, but he encountered the rise of Qin and became a stumbling block to Qin's eastward expansion.
Yan Guo also met the lord of mediocrity Yan Wang Hao this year, this person does not want to govern the country well, but he is bent on Zen to give up his position, so Yan Guo has been in a miasma for a while.
And our protagonist is from the modern era, and suddenly becomes the ambitious, to turn the tide, ready to carry out the revival of the Great Wei, the unification of the Wei Xiang King Wei heir.
At this time, it has been half a year since the death of Wei Huiwang, Wei Gang.
On this day, Wei Si also summoned Sun Yan, the prince of Xiangguo, and Hui Shi, an important minister, to urgently discuss a major event of 'five kingdoms to attack Qin' in a side hall.
Sun Yan, the prince of Xiangguo, was also full of confidence at this time, pointing to a map of the countries in front of Wei Si, and said a lot of nonsense:
"This time, as long as our Five Kingdoms and Yiqu join forces to attack Qin successfully, our Great Wei State can not only carve up the territory of Qin State, but also revive the former hegemony of our Great Wei!"
After listening to this, Hui Shi said very skeptically:
"Brother Rhinoceros, do you think the other four countries are credible? Yiqu is a barbarian state, will they really help us? ”
Gongsun Yan smiled lightly:
"Brother Hui Shi, you are too worried, my rhino head is now the seal of the five kingdoms of Wei, Yan, Zhao, Han, and Chu, and the other four kingdoms are now extremely trusting of my rhino head, especially King Han!"
After speaking, he took out the seal of the four countries from his bosom and gave Wei Si and Hui Shi a careful look at them one by one.
Hui Shi stretched out his thumb and praised Gongsun Yan:
"The rhino head brother is really very human, and he can actually wear the seal of the five countries, it is really a good life to make my brother envious!"
Wei Si naturally had already expected that the Five Kingdoms Expedition to Qin proposed by Xiangguo Gongsun Yan would inevitably fail, but because he had just entered the body of Wei Si two months ago, and the matter of the Five Kingdoms United Nations Conquering Qin this time could not be changed, so it was not good to oppose Xiangguo Gongsun Yan, so he asked:
"Rhino is born first, do you think this time the Five Kingdoms are sure to attack Qin?"
Gongsun Yan replied very categorically:
"Of course it is feasible, the strategy of these five countries to attack Qin was pushed by you, King Han and Emperor Zhao, listening to my king's words, does it mean to retreat?"
Wei Si hurriedly said:
"Of course not!"
Gongsun Yan continued:
"When the first king was leaving, he expelled Zhang Yi, just to prepare for the attack on Qin, and now that the first king has unfortunately left, my king should uphold the will of the first king, regain the majesty of my Great Wei, and revive the hegemony of my Great Wei, so as to live up to the high hopes of the first king!"
Wei Si thought in his heart:
"Does this Gongsun Yan understand that he is kidnapping me? However, I know that this joint attack on Qin is a failed battle in history, but now that there is no way back, it seems that I can only go to Hangu Pass in person to see if there is a turnaround! ”
He replied:
"Since the rhino was born with such determination, then this king must firmly support your great cause of destroying Qin, sir."
Gongsun Yan said with great satisfaction:
"Okay, as long as there is the firm support of my king, my Gongsun Yan will definitely die for the sake of the alliance and the revival of my Great Wei Dynasty!"
Wei Si walked over and patted Gongsun Yan on the shoulder:
"It's hard for you to give birth to you first!"
Gongsun Yan looked at Wei Si and then at Hui Shi next to him, and said:
"Okay, since my king's attitude is firm, the minister will retire first, and the minister will have to rush to Handu Xinzheng tomorrow to meet King Han!"
Wei Si nodded:
"Well, rhinos are born first. You've worked hard, so rest early! ”
After the rhino head left, Wei Si immediately asked Hui Shi:
"Huigong, what do you think of the Five Kingdoms' invasion of Qin this time?"
Hui Shi smiled:
"I have a friend Zhaoyang, who is now the prime minister of Chu, and I have recently written a letter with it privately, and from what I know from it, the state of Chu seems to have made up its mind to join forces with our four countries to defeat Qin this time, and there is still Yiqu in the belly of Qin, a country allied with us, so I also think that the five kingdoms will definitely succeed in this attack on Qin, and when the time comes, it will weaken the state of Qin and regain the land of Shangjun in Hexi, which was lost by my Great Wei in the past."
Wei Si had to say silently in his heart:
"Hui Shi, you are too inconsistent, just now you were still questioning the rhino first, and now you actually agree with the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin!"
Hui Shi saw that Wei Si seemed to be thinking, so he asked:
"My king, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Hui Shi ask, Wei Si immediately came back to his senses and said:
"This king has been worried about everything recently, and he didn't rest well last night, so he was a little distracted just now."
Hui Shi nodded:
"Oh...... Then my king must pay attention to his body, the entire Great Wei Kingdom will have to rely on my king in the future! ”
Wei Si replied:
"Huigong, you also have to take care of your body!"
Hui Shi nodded:
"Okay, the minister knows!"
Then he turned around and said:
"The minister has to go back to rest!"
After Wei Si waited for Hui Shi to leave, he took a long breath:
"It's really too difficult to be the King of Wei, every morning at dawn, I have to get up to meet the ministers, and after the court meeting, I have to review countless books and briefs, and meet these courtiers!"
At this time, a eunuch walked in, saluted Wei Si, and said:
"My king, the queen specially asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to the palace to rest tonight? The queen said that you haven't been back to the palace for two months, so let the servants ask me the king! ”
Wei Si replied:
"No need, you let the queen rest early in the evening, just say that this king has been troubled a lot recently, and when this king is done, he will go back to the palace to accompany the queen."
After the eunuch left, Wei Si sighed again:
"Although this queen Wei Ji looks like a fairy, but after all, I am not really Wei Si, and this Wei Si has already died, and I only occupy its body, if I am with Wei Ji, who is familiar with Wei Si, then I will not expose myself?"
So now Wei Si is deliberately avoiding the queen and all the harem women before Wei Si, and naturally he doesn't want to see them, and for the past two months, he has slept in the study of this side hall almost every day.
Thinking of this, Wei Si shook his sleeves and hurriedly returned to the study on the side.
At this time, Zhang Xiao, the little eunuch who was serving Wei Si, was wiping the desk inside.
As soon as Wei Si walked in, Zhang Xiao hurriedly helped Wei Si to take a seat.
This Zhang Xiao is only fifteen years old, he is honest, he used to clean in the harem, and his characteristic is that he has a big nose, so he is now taken by Wei Si, so he gave it a new name 'Big Nose'.
And the two eunuchs who served Wei Si before have already been transferred to other places by the current Wei Si with an excuse, and the reason is naturally because they don't want the two of them to find out that they are not really Wei Si.
At this time, Wei Si was concentrating on checking the slips presented by officials from various places today, and when he suddenly raised his eyes, he saw that Zhang Xiao had already stepped out of the door with one foot, so he asked:
"Big Nose, why are you going?"
Zhang Xiao hurriedly turned around and replied:
"My king, aren't you going to leave for Michi in two months? So didn't I listen to you and inform the queen for you? ”
魏嗣 says:
"That's it! Then you go, by the way, send the pastries that Wei Guo brought over yesterday to the queen, and she must love to eat the things sent by her mother's family. ”
Zhang Xiao nodded:
"Yes, my king!"
Then he said:
"My king, you are so good to the queen, if I am not mistaken, this is the tenth time in a month that I have given the queen her favorite food."
After saying that, Zhang Xiao hurried out.
Wei Si looked at the bamboo slips piled up on the table and on the ground and muttered to himself:
"These bamboo slips are almost all self-recommended bamboo books by those bachelors, but most of them are empty talk and have no practical use, just like what Zheng Ning wrote!"
Then I picked up the bamboo book and read it:
"If you want to revive the hegemony of our Great Wei in the past, we must first recuperate, make friends with the countries of the Quartet, and don't participate in those vertical or horizontal alliances, so that we can revive our Great Wei."
Wei Si threw away the bamboo slip and spat on it:
"This is called Zheng Ning, aren't you exactly the theory of the death of the Lu State? Even if my Great Wei wants to befriend the neighboring countries, who in the surrounding countries is really good friends with my Great Wei now? I think of Qin as a matter of urgency, and I want to devour my Great Wei land everywhere, so I, the King of Wei, must now try my best to clean up Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, first! ”
