Chapter 309: Meng Weijun went to Qin as the prime minister
"Qin Guo, it's okay if I don't go." The doorman Gongsun Hong heard what Gongzi said happily, but he still saw the unwillingness hidden in Gongzi's heart. It is the dream of all men to worship the prime minister.
Gongsun Hong saluted and said: "What the Qin people are, we are also hearsay. Seeing is believing, hearing is false. If the Qin people were not as rumored, Gongzi would have lost a chance to pay homage to the prime minister. Why don't you ask me to go to Qin and meet the King of Qin. Childe decided whether to go to Qin or not. ”
Tian Wen thought for a while and replied, "Mr. Lao has worked hard. ”
Gongsun Hong saluted and said, "Son, I will leave immediately." ”
"Someone, prepare a car for Mr." Tian Wen shouted: "Sir is for me, I went west to Qin State, and the journey was tiring. Thanks, you. ”
"Childe, retire." After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After Gongzi Fu left, he returned to the mansion, and his face became more and more ugly.
The attendant Ren Huan asked, "When Gongzi came back from visiting Jing Guojun, he seemed to be a different person." Childe, is something wrong? ”
Gongzifu's face became more and more ugly, "I went to visit Jing Guojun and got some news." ”
Ren Huan asked, "Childe, what's the news?" ”
"Before leaving for Qi, the king gave me a letter of state and asked me to visit Jingguo Jun." Gongzi Fu glanced up at the sky, and said: "Jing Guojun deliberately read out the content of the national letter in front of me. I never thought that the king would invite Jing Guojun to Qin as the prime minister. ”
Ren Huan asked, "Isn't Qin Xiang left to Yan Jun, the king's uncle?" Your Majesty, why did you invite Jing Guojun to be the prime minister? ”
"The king's actions also make me wonder." Gongzi Fu thought about it for a while, and said: "Mother has always wanted Uncle Wei Ran to be Qin Xiang. But my uncle is here, who dares to do it. Although my uncle does not handle government affairs in the court, my uncle's connections and prestige are unmatched by anyone. The king's invitation to Jing Guojun to enter Qin as the prime minister is enough to show that his uncle's time is short. ”
"Yan Jun is fighting on the battlefield, his body is tough, how can he run out of time." Ren Huan asked, "Is Childe's inference wrong?" ”
Gongzi Fu said: "Mother is still afraid of her uncle and doesn't dare to let her uncle be the prime minister." How dare the king let someone else take his uncle's place? The king must have received news that his uncle's time was short, and he was planning as soon as possible. ”
Ren Huan questioned: "Even if Gongzi's inference is correct, Yan Jun's time is short. Qin Xiang should be served by Qin people, or meritorious people. How could the King of Qin invite a person with a foreign surname and have no military merits. ”
"How can I not know the purpose of the king's invitation to a foreign person. King Qin wanted to use Jing Guojun's hand to suppress his mother's power and consolidate his position. Gongzi Fu sneered: "The king, is no longer the king we are familiar with." The king made a clever and clean move. Let me enter Qi as a hostage first, and stay away from the Qin State. Then let Jing Guojun be the prime minister to balance the situation of the Qin dynasty. If my mother offends Jing Guojun, King Qi will offend me. For the sake of my safety, my mother will not offend Qi people. ”
Ren Huan was shocked: "How could the king be so kind to the prince and the queen mother." ”
Gongzi Fu's eyes were dark, and there were hidden tears, "Mother said that it is the most ruthless king's family." The king can sacrifice anything for the sake of power. ”
Ren Huan took a breath of cold air, "Isn't it dangerous for Gongzi to be in Qi Country." ”
Gongzi Fu said in his heart: "I always thought I knew the eldest brother. Actually, I didn't know him at all. He didn't want me to go back, I wanted to go back. My life is up to me. ”
Ren Huan saw that Gongzi didn't speak, and asked, "Gongzi, will Jing Guojun go to my country as a minister?" ”
Gongzi Fu pondered for a moment, and said: "Jing Guojun is definitely not greedy for vanity, and he has nothing to show for it. The king had already planned it. Even if Jing Guojun doesn't want to go, I'm afraid he has to go. ”
"Jing Guojun is the cousin of King Qi and has a noble status. How can the king be his lord? ”
"This is the trick of kings." Gongzi Fu said: "The king knows what he is most afraid of as a monarch. I went to visit Jing Guojun, and the fact that the king invited him to Qin as a minister had already spread in the Qi country. When King Qi heard the news, he would not be at ease. ”
"Childe, King Qi is not a master of confusion. How can you not understand that this is the king's strategy? ”
"It's not that King Qi doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to understand. The king of Qi is young and vigorous, and he will make the mistakes that kings are easy to make. ”
"I don't understand what Childe said."
"This is the most taboo thing for kings. The king of Qi learned that the prestige of Jingguo Jun was higher than his own, in order to consolidate his power and status. King Qi, what will you do. Gongzi Fu's eyes were a little sympathetic to Jing Guojun's situation, "Even if Jing Guojun doesn't want to go to Qin. The king of Qi would force him to go to Qin on the grounds that Qi and Qin were on good terms. Jing Guojun, like me, is a poor person who can't help himself. ”
Ren Huan said in a panic: "Childe, what should we do next." ”
Gongzi Fu smiled at the corner of his lips, "King Qin invited Jing Guojun as the prime minister, and we will plan and return to Qin." ”
Ren Huan shook his head and said, "The king does not hesitate to offend the queen mother and let the prince come out as a hostage." How can the prince leave Qi and return to the country? Not to mention that the king will not agree, and the king of Qi will not agree. ”
"I'm sure of this." Gongzi Fu's eyes were clear and his tone was firm, "Jing Guojun help me, and we will return to Qin in less than ten days." ”
……
At this time, King Qi was watching the singing and dancing in the palace, and he was in a good mood. Suddenly, a eunuch came and whispered, "Your Majesty, Qin Proton has visited Jing Guojun. The king of Qin invited Jing Guojun to Qin as the prime minister. ”
The wine bottle that King Qi held in his hand fell to the ground and shouted, "What did you say." ”
The eunuch was so frightened that he threw himself on his knees. The singer was also frightened by the king's sudden anger.
King Qi was not in the mood to watch the song and dance, and shouted, "Go down." ”
The singer and the eunuch trembled and quickly retreated.
Tian He saw that the king was still smiling one second ago, and the next second he broke out in a thunderous rage, and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you angry?" ”
King Qi said in an unkind tone: "Qin Proton actually visited Jing Guojun. ”
"After the death of Jing Guo Jun Tian Poppy, his son Tian Wen inherited all the property, fiefs and titles of Jing Guo Jun." Tian He asked, "What's wrong with Qin Proton visiting Jing Guojun." ”
"There are many gentlemen and heirs in Jingguo. even let the abandoned son inherit the family business. King Qi's laughter was full of indifference, "The abandoned son doesn't know what means he used to change Jing Guojun. And won the trust and favor of Jing Guojun. The outcast not only changed his fate, but also stood out. Isn't the fate of life predestined? ”
Tian Yang has been fighting outside all the year round, and he doesn't know who the abandoned son in the mouth of King Qi is talking about. Of course, Jing Guojun is the former Qi Prime Minister Tian Poppy, and Tian Yang knows it. Tian Yang saw that the king was full of hatred for Jing Guojun's son, and asked in a low voice: "Da Sima, who is the abandoned son that the king is talking about." ”
"Jingguo Gentleman's Tian Wen." Tian He lowered his voice and said: "Jingguo has many heirs, and there are more than forty sons. Gongziwen was born to Jing Guojun's concubine. Since Gongziwen was born on the fifth day of May, he will harm his parents when he grows up. Jing Guojun asked his concubine to throw away this son born in May. However, the concubine raised Gongziwen behind Jing Guojun's back and recognized her father. ”
Jing Guojun is really ruthless, because the child was born in May, he abandoned him. Tiger poison does not eat children, Jing Guojun's move, how can he be a big husband. Tian Yang Xingwu was born, so he naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and sneered: "Jing Guojun has already discarded the child, why do you still recognize him and accept him." This is not Jing Guojun's style. ”
"Tian Wen recognized his father and used his wisdom to convince his father." Tian He said: "After Jing Guojun came into contact with Tian Wen, he changed his attitude towards Tian Wen, and then valued him and let him preside over housekeeping. Tian Wen's fame then spread to the vassal states. All the vassal states sent people to ask Jingguo Jun to establish Tian Wen as the prince. After Jing Guojun's death, Tian Wen inherited everything from his father. ”
Tian Wen was able to change his fate from an abandoned son to the head of the family. In this way, Tian Wen is also a smart and talented person. Tian Yang looked at the king and said, "Why is the king so hostile to Tian Wen. ”
Tian Wen was recognized and respected by Jing Guojun. He was also favored by the kings. The first king often compared the king to Tian Wen. Of course, the king was angry in his heart. Tian He glanced at Wang Shang, and said: "Tian Wen loves the virtuous, does not regard the other party's status as high or low, noble or low, and attracts people's hearts, has a far-reaching reputation, and there are many visitors. The people all call Tian Wen virtuous. In the king's heart, he was naturally unhappy. ”
"The king is jealous that Tian Wen's prestige is higher than him." Tian Yang said: "The king is too stingy. ”
Tian He glared at the other party, "Be cautious." ”
King Qi said angrily: "The king of Qin invited the abandoned son to be the prime minister, this is not to say that the abandoned son has the ability to be the prime minister. King Qin's move does not mean that the widow does not have the ability to recognize people. ”
When the people saw that the king was angry, they did not dare to provoke him.
King Qi remembered that when his father was alive, he loved his abandoned son far more than himself. Looking back, Jing Guo Juntian's credit also surpassed that of his father. The princes of the Central Plains only know Jing Guojun, but not the king of Qi. The existence of Jing Guojun seriously threatened the status of his father.
King Qi's field must not allow the prestige of Jing Guojun's son to surpass his own, and then threaten his position. King Qi succeeded to the throne for less than a year. His prestige was not enough, and his position was unstable. He was also thinking about how to suppress Tian Wen and then establish his prestige.
King Qi thought to himself: "The Qin people want to invite him as a minister, why don't he agree." Tian Wen's entry into Qin can not only eliminate the hidden dangers around him. At the same time, it can establish its own prestige. Why not. ”
King Qi asked, "King Qin invited Jing Guojun as his minister, everyone, what do you think?" ”
Seeing the change in King Qi's tone, everyone said cautiously: "Obey the king's will." ”
"The king of Qin invited Jing Guojun to be the prime minister, although the widow was reluctant. But it can't prevent Jing Guojun from becoming famous among the princes. King Qi said with a smile: "Jing Guojun went to Qin as the prime minister, which is also to promote further friendship between Qin and Qi." ”
The crowd said in unison, "What the king has said is very true. ”
Seeing that the ministers were meaningless, the King of Qi laughed and said, "Tomorrow, King Jing Guo will be summoned, and the widow will send him as an envoy to the Qin State." ”
Tian Wen was drinking in the mansion, and suddenly saw the doorman Feng Tan returning, and raised the bottle and said: "Feng Chen, it's just right, you can drink a bottle with me." ”
Feng Tan asked, "Why is Childe so happy?" ”
Tian Wen said with a smile: "My wisdom has spread all over the princes, and the King of Qin has also learned of my wisdom. Wouldn't I be happy to invite me to Qin as a prime minister? ”
Feng Tan laughed loudly, "Childe didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, but he was drinking here." ”
A guest shouted: "Feng Chen, the son invites you to drink, eat meat, and adopt your mother." How can you curse your son like this, what is your intention? ”
Feng Tan let out another long laugh, "If it weren't for the fact that Gongzi invited me to drink wine and eat meat, I would have paid for my adoptive mother." Childe is alive or dead, how can I take it to heart. Childe is delicious and delicious, and entertains me. Childe is in trouble, how can I not say it. ”
Tian Wen looked left and right, looked at him in a daze, and asked, "What's so difficult for me?" ”
Feng Tan saw that Tian Wen's catastrophe was coming, but he didn't know, and said coldly: "The King of Qin's invitation to his son to Qin as the prime minister has already spread throughout the Qi country. This was the beginning of the catastrophe. ”
Tian Wen said with a smile: "King Qin invited me to be the prime minister, which shows that I am virtuous. How could it be a catastrophe. ”
Feng Tan asked lightly: "There can only be one person in the Qi Kingdom who is virtuous, and this person is the king." The kingdom of Qi is the king, and the greater the reputation of the prince, the more threatening the king's position. Isn't that the beginning of a disaster? ”
Tian Wen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Gongzi is virtuous, and everyone in Qin knows it. Does the king not know? Feng Tan smiled: "Definitely! Indeed, the king fears thy prestige. Today, it is a gratifying thing for the King of Qin to invite his son as his prime minister. As everyone knows, King Qin pushed his son into the fire pit. ”
When Tian Wen heard this, he sobered up a little and asked, "What should I do?" ”
"The king of Qin invited his son to Qin as the prime minister, what will the king think? King Qin's actions will only make the king even more jealous of you. Feng Tan asked: "Didn't the prince forget the tragedy of the famous general Tian Ji and the military advisor Sun Bin, who had great military achievements, but ended up in the tragedy?" ”
Tian Wen is a smart person, so he naturally understands that he is a master of high merit. Tian Wen's face turned pale, and he kept listening to a few mouthfuls of spittle, and asked, "Sir, what should I do." ”
"So far, Childe has only one choice." Feng Chen met the other party's eyes, "Go to the Qin Kingdom." The son can have today, all of which are Jing Guojun's kindness. If Childe wants to gain a foothold, why not promote his good name. ”
"Go to the Qin Kingdom?" Tian Wen was silent for a while, "Qin Guo is a tiger and wolf, how can I come back if I go." ”
"The king of Qin invited his son to Qin as his minister, but if the prince sternly refused. There is still room for maneuver in this matter. But Childe did not refuse. When the king learns this, he will not let you go? If Gongzi doesn't go to Qin, Qi won't be able to stay. ”
"There is really no room for relaxation in this matter."
"The king is jealous of the wisdom of his son. If Gongzi doesn't leave, he won't be able to gain a foothold in the Qi country. Feng Tan deliberately paused, and then said: "The prince went to the Qin State to avoid trouble and dispel the king's suspicions. At the same time, it is also to establish its own good name. ”
Tian Wen pondered a little, and said helplessly: "Although I don't want to go to Qin State, I can't help but go." All right! As Mr. said, I will go to Qin as the prime minister. ”
