Zhao, Han, and Wei all went out of the Jin Kingdom. At the beginning of the division of the three families, the national policy formulated by the Wei State united Han and Zhao to resist the princes. The three worked together to expand externally, and there was little fight between them. Wei Wuhou took advantage of the good situation left by his father and changed the law with Li Kui and Wu Qi, and the national strength of Wei increased greatly. Marquis Wu of Wei took Wu Qi as his general, defeated the Qin State, and took 500 miles of land west of the river. With Le Yang as the general, he borrowed the Zhao State to conquer Zhongshan, the country of the Hu people, in three years. When Wei's national strength increased greatly, it had the tendency to dominate. Treat the Han Zhao brothers, not politely. In order to force Han Zhao to submit to Wei, Pang Juan was first taken as a general and the Zhao State Handan was besieged in the north. Ten years later, Feng Ze became the king, and Nanwei Xinzheng, South Korea.

Zhao Houyu's life was also a constant struggle with the Wei State. In the name of the funeral, the Wei State entangled the Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan and other countries to wait for the opportunity to try Zhao. If the plan fails, it is necessary to change the original strategy. When Wei Pop arrived in Handan, he injured his body because he was not accustomed to the water and soil. After resting for a few days, I heard that Han Hou also came to Zhao Kingdom. So, he ordered the envoy of Wei to send a letter of state and ask to meet Zhao Hou.

Zhao Yong looked at the letter of Wei and put it aside, "Wei Hou is in Handan." Whether the widow sees or does not see. ”

Zhao Bao said: "No." ”

"Your Majesty, my country should expel Wei Poppy Lao'er from the country to show our hatred for Wei State."

"Wei Hou dared to be in Handan, and immediately sent troops to surround the official post."

"Bloody national shame."

"Kill him."

Although Zhao Yong is young, he has his own thoughts. Now the country of Zhao is surrounded by wolves. Wei Hou came to Handan, which was the best time for Zhao and Wei to improve. At the same time, it also opened a window for Zhao Guo. Wei and Zhao are evil, and the people who are happy are vassal states. How can you commit long-term pain because of the momentary speed? Moreover, using this way to wash the national shame, Zhao Yong felt that it was not very glorious, but extremely shameful.

Voices resounded in the hall, and most people believed that Zhao should cut off Wei Pop's request to meet with him and forcibly expel him from the border to show the hatred between Wei and Zhao. Zhao Yong looked around the hall and saw that the ministers rarely spoke, so his eyes fell on Li Dui, "Li Dui, what do you think." ”

Li Dui wanted to remain silent. Now, Zhao Yong asked, he can't do it without speaking. Since the court meeting, he has secretly observed the demeanor of the monarch. The other side watched closely the changes in the court. Li Dui sorted out the information he had gathered and came to a conclusion. The monarch was against the expulsion of Wei Hou.

In the court, every word, every word, if you are not careful, will invite trouble. Li Dui also understood that if he chose to stand on the side of the monarch, he would offend many ministers. If the opinions are tilted in favor of the ministers, the king will not see his own ability, and there will be no future in the future. Li Dui weighed his words and said cautiously step by step: "Your Majesty, this is a friendly signal from the Wei State to us. If we take the liberty of expelling Wei Hou, we will lose a good opportunity to improve relations with Wei. ”

Zhao Yong followed the meaning of his words and asked, "What a good opportunity." ”

"All around our country, dogs and wolves look around. Fighting with the Wei State. It can improve relations with Wei, recuperate, and develop national strength. When the princes change, they will be able to make a name for themselves. ”

Zhao Yong didn't comment on Li Dui's words, and set his eyes on Fei Yi's body, "Da Sima, what do you think?" ”

"Expelling Wei Hou, Wei Zhao will only have deeper grudges. Killed Wei Hou, although it was quick for a while. Wei is bound to raise troops to retaliate, and the war between Zhao and Wei continues, so our country will not be able to recuperate and develop its strength. Junshang, treat Wei Poppy with courtesy. We should take this opportunity to reconcile with Wei. ”

"The Wei people have been bullying me for a long time, how can I treat each other with courtesy." Gongzi Cheng said coldly: "The king does not care about the previous feuds, and treats Wei Hou with courtesy." However, the Wei people are in the Qin and Twilight Chu, and if they intersect with Wei today, tomorrow Wei will have trouble with our country. ”

Fei Yi said: "Everyone in the world knows that the Wei people are towards Qin and Chu. But I never knew that the Qi people also had the Jin Dynasty, and the Qin people also had the Wei Muchu. The matter of diplomatic relations should be changed according to the tense, and it is not a wise move. ”

Gongzi said: "Wei has made friends with my country, and I can't see any sincerity. ”

"Wei Hou is in Handan, this is the greatest sincerity." Fei Yi paused and said: "Your Majesty, treating Wei Hou with courtesy can not only show the atmosphere of the new dynasty of Zhao Guo, but also show the magnanimity of Zhao Guo." ”

As soon as Feiyi's words fell, many people in the temple spoke out against his views.

"Don't quarrel." Zhao Yong spoke out to stop it, "Wei and Zhao are evil, it's not a good thing after all." The Wei State has the intention of improving relations with China. How can our country easily miss the opportunity? ”

Seeing the king's statement, His Royal Highness's ministers bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Your Excellency is wise. ”

Are widows wise? Zhao Yong didn't think he was very wise. However, seeing that no one objected to the decision he made, he did not pursue these two words. So, Zhao Bao, Fei Yi and others were left behind, and the others dispersed.

Zhao Yong asked: "Xiangbang, how are you preparing for the banquet?" ”

Zhao Bao replied: "I have prepared the wine, just waiting for the guests to come." ”

"Xiangbang is hard." Zhao Yong got up, walked down the steps, looked into his eyes, and asked, "It's feasible for the widow to invite Wei Hou to a banquet together." ”

"This..."

Zhao Yong saw that his face was embarrassed and asked, "There is a difficulty." ”

South Korea's envoy Zhao Guo, Zhao Guosili and others were in full swing planning as early as half a month ago. Zhao Yong temporarily added Wei Hou and others, disrupting the original deployment. In fact, it is not too difficult to add a few seats to the original seats. Zhao Bao was worried that Han Hou and Wei Hou were present at the same time, and it was not good for the two to have an argument.

Zhao Bao didn't want to show incompetence in front of this young monarch, so he gritted his teeth, "Minister, go and arrange it." ”

Zhao Yong said to Fei Yi: "Wei Hou, after many days in Handan, the widow neglected him. The widow sent you to the official post to invite Wei Hou to the banquet. ”

"Whoa." After Fei Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left the main hall. Zhao Bao also bowed down and said goodbye and went to plan the banquet.

Wei Wang Poppy, in the name of condolences, waited for the opportunity to figure Zhao. However, he has empty ambitions, but few opportunities. The plot against Zhao Guo failed, but the relationship with Zhao Guo was rigid. In addition to sighing, Wei Poppy's next thing to consider was how to improve relations with Zhao Guo.

After Gongsun Yan returned to China, he apologized and said: "The last general will be humiliated by the mission, please ask the king to surrender." ”

If Zhao fails, it can only be said that people's hearts belong to Zhao, and the will of heaven is so. King Wei sighed: "It's not the general's fault. In fact, the widow misjudged the situation. "Wei Wang Poppy did not punish Gongsun Yan, but also gave him a thousand gold. Gongsun Yanfa Zhao was not successful, he felt guilty and refused to accept it.

After Gongsun Yan returned to China, Hui Shi saw Wei Poppy for a few days, and his forehead was covered with gloomy clouds, and explained: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it. ”

Zhao's moves are all Wei Pop's thoughts. If the plot fails, Wei Poppy can scold others for not doing things well. However, this Wei minister has done a lot for the Wei State. Wei Poppy, although he is old, he is not confused. Whoever dedicates himself to the country, who is a vegetarian meal, he has the bottom in his heart.

Prince Wei's heir said: "Father, how should our country face the next situation. ”

Wei Poppy looked at his son, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Providence is like this, how can a widow go against the sky." ”

The crown prince stared blankly at King Wei Poppy. Although he is good at observing words and feelings, he can't guess his father's intentions here.

Wei Poppy said helplessly: "Wei Xiang, arrange for the widow and send Zhao Guo." ”

When Hui Shi heard this, he was not surprised at all, and saluted: "Oh." ”

The crown prince's heir, who didn't know what his father meant, said anxiously: "Father, my country unites the four kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Chu, and Qin to seek Zhao together. has formed a mortal enmity with Zhao State. Isn't this going to Zhao Kingdom to bring humiliation on yourself? ”

"You know you're humiliating." Wei Poppy wrinkled his brows and said unhappily: "Qi State in the east, Qin State in the west, Han and Chu in the south, which country doesn't want to encroach on our country." If you make enemies with Zhao again, our country will make enemies on all sides, but it will be in danger. ”

The crown prince's heir argued: "The child thinks that our country can improve with the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu, and it is okay if Zhao does not go." ”

When Wei Poppy saw the son in front of him, he only knew that he was humiliated, but he couldn't see that the current situation was not conducive to Wei, so he was so angry that his beard trembled. However, seeing that the child was thinking about humiliation in his heart, he instantly turned his anger into joy. As the saying goes, shame is the only way to be brave. Wei handed it over to him, it's not too bad. Wei Poppy thought to himself? In the future, if his character is restrained, and a few more capable ministers are selected to assist him, there is still hope for the Wei State.

Hui Shi thought that King Wei would scold the unruly son in front of him. He saw a hint of joy hidden in King Wei's eyebrows. Wei Poppy showed a fatherly smile and said gently: "My country and Zhao Guo are out of the same three Jins. Improve with Zhao Guo, and improve with South Korea. Only by turning hostility into war can we unravel the situation that is unfavorable to our country. The trip to Xuzhou, the king of the people, has already lost face. What's the harm in throwing it away again. ”

Wei Poppy acted inconsiderately. But he is living for the ideals that remain in his heart. Hui Shi was very relieved to see that the king was able to calm down and carefully analyze the situation. I am also glad that I have found a king worthy of trusting my life.

The crown prince is young and vigorous, how can he listen to the philosophical words of King Wei. He raised his arrogant head and argued, "Our country is a strong country, and Zhao is a weak country." The strong do not befriend the strong and the strong, but intersect with the weak. It not only humiliates the country, but also makes the princes of the world laugh. My father used to say that the rich do not associate with the poor. Isn't being good friends with Zhao Guo just intersecting with the poor? ”

"Insulting to the country? The widow looks at you because you can't let go of your own face. Wei Pop, his face sank, his face was not kind, he looked at his son who was spoiled and bad, and admonished: "To govern the country, you must see the four sides, listen to the eight directions, and always stay reasonable." How can you ignore the interests of the country for the sake of face. ”

The crown prince wanted to come forward to defend himself. Hui Shi gave him a look. Wei Si is a vigilant and intelligent person, and he immediately woke up. The words that had reached his throat were held back. Wei Pop's eyes were full of sadness, and he said in a sad tone: "The widows were defeated by Qi, and Hexi was defeated by Qin again." Enough face. Widowed, lose face a few more times. Wu'er should bear in mind that he will inherit the throne in the future, and he should revitalize the national strength and revitalize the prestige of the Great Wei. ”

Hui Shi thought about it, and Wei Poppy's words had already revealed that he would let the crown prince inherit the throne.

The crown prince swore an oath: "The child will not forget, the humiliation of the father." On the other day, he will revitalize the national strength and be ashamed of the country. ”

Seeing that his son was quite sensible, Wei Poppy nodded slightly to show his praise, and said to Hui Shi: "Send envoy Zhao Guo, please go and plan." ”

Hui Shi saw that Wei Poppy was much older again, and his heart was also sad, "Minister, go and arrange it immediately." ”

Wei Poppy had said enough, and he felt a little tired, so he held his forehead and said, "Hei'er, you and the widow went to Zhao Country together." It's time for you to go out for a walk and get some experience. In the future, he asked the Minister of State and General Gongsun for advice on how to govern the country. ”

Wei Si understood the meaning of his father's words, faced Hui Shi, and solemnly bowed, "There is Lao Xiangguo." ”

"The prince is serious." Hui Shi returned the salute, thinking in his heart that the king's intention was to decide to entrust the crown prince to him.

Wei Poppy yawned and said tiredly: "If there is no state business, you retreat." ”

The crown prince's heir bowed and withdrew with Hui Shi. Out of the main hall, the crown prince waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Father is old." ”

Hui Shi stopped him from continuing, and comforted him meaningfully: "O prince! In this sentence, you can complain to me. ”

Slandering the king is a taboo for the prince. Fortunately, Wei Xiang reminded him in time, and the crown prince understood, suppressed the conversation, pursed his lips, and thanked: "Thank you, Wei Xiang reminded me." I am talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart. ”

"Prince, what did you say? I, how don't I remember. ”

Seeing that he was clever, the prince pointed at him and smiled.

Hui Shi saw that he couldn't pay attention to the good intentions of King Wei to envoy Zhao Guo, and walked down the steps side by side with him, "Prince, the king's decision to send Zhao Guo is also a helpless move. Who made our Wei kingdom decline day by day? ”

The crown prince stopped and asked, "What does Wei Xiang mean by this?" ”

Hui Shi glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Fan Xun Tongzhi, Han Zhao Alliance." Our country failed to defeat Zhao, not only offended Zhao, but also offended South Korea. Han and Zhao have also suffered great losses from our country. Therefore, the two countries of South Korea and Zhao worked together and united. If there is Zhao in the north of our country, Han in the south, plus the state of Chu, and the state of Qi in the east, and the feud of Qin. The road ahead for our country is too difficult to walk. ”

"Xiangbang means that our country is in the land of four wars. If you are not careful, there will be a hidden danger of destroying the country. The crown prince stared at him dumbfounded, and said, "Our country is an ally with the State of Qi, and the relationship with the State of Chu is also good. Han and Zhao dare to compete with our Wei State. ”

Hui Shi smiled slightly, the crown prince's heir is young after all, and his experience is insufficient!

"Our country can unite the four countries and capture the Zhao State. Zhao can also unite with other countries to destroy our Wei state. In matters of diplomatic relations, interests come first. Guided by the situation, changed by force. The ancestors of Wei, Zhao and Han worked together to destroy Zhibo and carve up the Jin Kingdom. At that time, the three Jin were friends, and the three families made peace internally and fought externally. In the first battle of Hexi, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and it was difficult for the Qin people to break through. The east defeated Qi, and the south controlled Chu. Even, the distant country of Zhongshan has been broken and has become the territory of our country. At that time, Wei Wushu was rampant in the world, and the princes of the world did not dare to compete. Recalling the glorious years of the Wei Kingdom, Hui Shi was quite fascinated. Afterwards, Hui Shi sighed and said, "Sanjin has become an enemy from a friend. Two defeats; In the land west of the river, it was defeated by Qin three times; The state of Chu also weighed on our heads. The glory of Wei Wushu has become a thing of the past, and Wei has today's decline. ”

Hui Shi, sort out the fluctuating emotions and calm his mood, "The State of Qi, the State of Chu and the State of Qin are our friends today. Tomorrow, it may be an enemy fighting to the death. Between countries, if you want to become permanent friends, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”

The crown prince suddenly realized that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies between countries. Because he didn't understand this principle, he almost missed a big thing, and thanked: "Thank you Xiangguo for your advice." Traveling to Zhao State, Wei Xiang worked hard. ”

"I don't dare to say anything about it." Hui Shi looked up at the sky and bowed, "Prince, don't leave it at that." ”

"Wei Xiang, please." The crown prince watched Hui Shi's back fade away. After leaving from Uncle Acne, there are not many people who can be the prime minister in Wei and rely on King Wei Poppy. There is always room for kindness and friendship with others. Even if someone offended him, Wei Shi would not use the power in his hands to suppress it. The courtiers and the common people praised him for his virtue.

The crown prince's heir, looking at the distant back, his eyes turned slowly, "This person can help me." Why worry, the world of Wei is not mine"
