Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Troubles of Xinlingjun
When the sunset in winter was still a short distance from the horizon, the gong of martial law sounded in the city of Daliang, and after a while, a horn came from inside the city gate, and a group of small birds resting on the city gate tower were frightened and flew away, hovering in the air for a while and then disappeared.
As soon as martial law was imposed, the streets and shops were suddenly in chaos, and at this moment, a troop of cavalry galloped out of the city, and from time to time drove the people who stood in the way.
The sky gradually darkened, the wind blew gently, the round slightly yellowish moon hung in the treetops, a few stars blinked in the sky, and a team of Wei soldiers gathered a team of firewood under the trees, sat on the ground around the fire, and cursed from time to time.
"How long have you been waiting? Are the Zhao people all dead, and not a single figure is gone. A soldier added a piece of firewood to the fire and scolded: "It's okay to stay outside the city for the night, and it's really hateful that we are waiting here." ”
A veteran ruffian next to him laughed with a smile on his face: "Roast your fire!" The king sent us here to make a show, maybe the Zhao people are really dead, haven't you heard, Wei Mu and other bandits have been active on the border recently, if they really robbed the Zhao people's family sending team, but they made a windfall, I heard that the daughter of Pingyuan Jun is very beautiful and ....... ”
"Don't make any noise!" The leader of the warrior's team stopped his subordinates from whining, "Since Zhao Ren said that he would arrive tonight, he will definitely be able to ......." As soon as the words of the team leader fell, the cavalry guarding in front came with the news that the Zhao people had arrived.
Zhao Kuo's dowry convoy and Tao Di's brigade were in Huangchi, Huangchi was not far from the Wei capital Liang, Zhao Kuo sent an envoy to inform the King of Wei, no matter what the attitude of the King of Wei was towards this marriage, it was impossible to tear his face with Zhao Guo, and the danger was temporarily lifted.
Arrived near Daliang, Zhao Ren's brigade was arranged to go to the nearby military camp to station, after dawn Zhao Kuo took Zhao Zhen and the dowry convoy from the suspension bridge to cross the moat to the front of Daliang City, Zhao Kuo saw the Warring States Capital City for the first time except Handan, and couldn't help but look carefully.
The city of Daliang is connected, like a miracle that rises from the ground is located in the mountains and rivers, the city is built according to the topography, the two moats are like two water dragons to protect the city, and the strong moats and gates are built near the city gates, so that the Daliang City looks solid.
Zhao Kuo saw a horse in front of the city gate, and immediately sat a man in a brocade robe, about thirty years old, dignified, a noble atmosphere from him, looking at Zhao Kuo with a smile, after being introduced by others, Zhao Kuo learned that he was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, and also the brother-in-law of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, after a period of greetings, Zhao Kuo followed Xinling Jun into Daliang City.
Zhao Kuo and Zhao Zhen lived in different courtyards of Xinling Jun's Mansion, although Zhao Zhen and Xinlingjun have no blood relationship, but there is still a bond of in-law, so before getting married, it is natural to live in Xinling Jun's Mansion, and Xinlingjun's arrangement is also very thoughtful, Zhao Kuo chose a bright courtyard, and dialed four beautiful maids to listen to the call.
Zhao Kuo waited for Xinlingjun's reception after freshening up, just now he patronized Daliang City but ignored Xinlingjun, for Xinlingjun, who was the highest-rated among the four princes of the Warring States, Zhao Kuo wanted to be close to him, and he had a bit of a taste of chasing stars, who made Xinlingjun so famous!
Xin Lingjun was receiving Dai Jin at this time, Dai Jin handed over the wordless letter to Xin Lingjun, he wanted to see how Xin Lingjun would react when he saw the strange letter, what disappointed Dai Jin was that Xin Lingjun looked at the letter very seriously, lit the fire candle and baked it for a while, and dense words suddenly appeared on the paper, which made Dai Jin stupid for a long time, he didn't expect that there was such a hidden method in the world.
After reading it, Xin Lingjun burned the letter to ashes and said: "This journey has been hard, you go to the account office now to withdraw fifty gold and return to Handan immediately, tell Pingyuanjun, just say that everything is under the control of this king, and let him act according to the plan." ”
Dai Jin didn't understand, he didn't know what tricks Pingyuanjun and Xinlingjun were playing, but this time he was able to come to Daliang safely and complete Pingyuanjun's mission, which was enough, and he got up and said: "Dai Jin entrusted by the king will definitely do it, and I will return to Handan as soon as I say goodbye to Miss Miss." Dai Jin did not forget the short-term alliance with Zhao Zhen, and he must tell Zhao Zhen about the process of Xinlingjun reading the letter.
Xinlingjun let Dai Jin leave and thought for a while, got up and came to a secluded courtyard, in the courtyard, an old man who was over the age of sixteen was cleaning the courtyard, and saw Xinlingjun coming, and said, "Why is the gentleman here?" ”
Xinlingjun said respectfully: "Wuji has something I don't understand, and I hope the old gentleman will teach me." "The person who can get such good treatment from Xinling Jun is not others, but the first strategist Hou Ying in Xinling Jun's mansion, that is, the person who wrote in Li Baixia's guest line 'Holding the Persuasion Hou Win', he was originally a small gate official at the east gate of Daliang City, and the combination of Xinling Jun is completely a true portrayal of Bole meeting Maxima.
Hou Ying put down the broom and invited Xinling Jun into the room, and said, "If you have any doubts, you might as well come and let the old man listen, maybe there will be a solution." ”
Xinlingjun sighed and said: "Mr. should know how I came to be a feudal king, after the king ascended the throne, in order to contain Meng Weijun, who was in Wei at that time, he had to seal me as Xinlingjun, three years ago, Qin general Bai Qi attacked Wei, Meng Yanjun recommended Mang Mao as the commander, resulting in the defeat of the Wei army, was beheaded by Bai Qi more than 130,000, Meng Yanjun was therefore dismissed by the king and returned to Qi, and most of Meng Yanjun's disciples in Wei came to me, which also directly led to the king's suspicion of me, and now I have become a thorn in the king's eye, I'm afraid that the end will not be as good as Meng Weijun! (Signed works, please indicate if illegally reprinted)
"It is the general trend for the king to replace Meng Weijun, but unfortunately the king does not have the capacity to accommodate people, otherwise the one who unifies the three Jin Dynasty must be the Wei State, does the king want to replace the king of Wei or want to protect himself?" Hou Ying didn't play sloppy with Xin Lingjun and asked the most critical question.
This question made Xinlingjun think for a while, and said: "Wuji only wants to protect himself now, this time I am trying to promote the marriage of Gongzi Chang and Pingyuanjun, just to form a solid offensive and defensive alliance of interests, as long as Wuji has Gongzi Chang inside and Pingyuan Jun outside, the king will have no choice but to do anything." Xin Lingjun didn't hide anything from Hou Ying.
"Does the king have the heart to get rid of the king?" Hou Ying asked.
Xinling Jun shook his head and said: "Although the king does not have the heart to remove me, but Wuji does not want to live in obscurity. ”
Hou Ying took out a blank piece of paper, wrote on the paper and said: "What the king relies on is the position of the king, there are three thousand guests, and the princes in the royal family are the king's heads; The king relied on the inheritance of the unification and the power of the army, and the combination of the two would be the luck of the Wei State, and the dispersion of the two would be the misfortune of the Wei State, and then ....... ”
Xinlingjun didn't expect Hou Ying to say this, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. misunderstood, Wuji has no intention of rebellion......." ”
Xin Lingjun's words couldn't go on, because Hou Ying put the paper in front of him, and the words on the paper left him speechless.
