Chapter 167: Scheming
"Your Highness, don't dwell too much on this matter, stabilizing the country as soon as possible is the right way, now that the king is in charge, only His Royal Highness can stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the political situation." Wei Yi pinched his beard and persuaded Tian Jian.
Now that the Qi King Tian Fazhang is dead, and the Qi State has suffered such a huge change, what Tian Jian has to do now is not to worry about whether Bai Qi will die, but how to stabilize the Qi government and the opposition and achieve real centralization.
Tian Jian bit his lower lip, a little sad, and saluted Wei Yi and said: "This time our army has such a great victory, thanks to the merits of General Meng Yu, when the palace succeeds to the throne, it will definitely announce the spirit of the previous king, canonize you and other meritorious heroes." ”
This is a naked co-optation of Wei Yi and Meng Ao, now Tian Jian's foundation is not very stable, at least not as good as Anping Jun Tian Dan's prestige in Qi State, and Meng Ao and Wei Yi are enveloped, and then given to Gao Jue to divide the power of Qi State, so that he Tian Jian has no worries.
Only when the court presents the competition of several forces, this is the real way to be a king.
As a princeling, Meng Ao must have followed Tian Jian with all his heart, but Wei Yi was a little free from Tian Jian's group, and Tian Jian's words were a temptation to show his intentions.
If Wei Yi refuses, then...
Wei Yi smiled lightly, saluted Tian Jian and said, "The minister is willing to be loyal to the king!" ”
Your Majesty! Tian Jian is now the king, although the current orthodox king is Tian Fazhang, but Tian Fazhang is dead, as the crown prince of Qi, Tian Jian is undoubtedly the king of Qi, unless his younger brother does not know whether to fight with him for the throne.
But this is impossible, Tian Jiao is only ten years old now, and he is not the eldest son, and he has no rights, how can he argue with him.
And this kind of obvious king is not something that others can call at will, because Tian Jian has not yet announced Taimiao and ascended the throne as king, and now his orthodox identity is Prince Qi!
But Wei Yi now called Tian Jian, and Wang Shang thought that he was subservient to Tian Jian, and Tian Jian was the king he was loyal to, and Wang was not a title, but also a choice to stand in line.
The corners of Tian Jian's mouth showed a smile of relief, looked at Wei Yi and Meng Ao and said, "This palace is still the prince, not the king. My father has not been buried yet, and this palace, as the eldest son of my father, how can I..."
Although Tian Jian did not say the latter sentence, Wei Yi, the old oil man, smiled slightly after hearing it, this prince is a king's talent worthy of his own counseling, and his heart is no longer weaker than the monarchs of other countries, and he can't see that he is a young man who has not reached the crown at all.
"Your Highness, now that Bai Qi's 30,000 soldiers and horses have been annihilated by our army, Tao County still needs to be cautious, and he should send a message as soon as he arrives to inform An Pingjun that he will destroy the Qin army and the Wei army in a battle. But An Pingjun is old now, if it is because of physical reasons, he will lose a big one because of a small one.
According to the minister's wishes, General Meng should be the deputy general to help An Pingjun jointly attack the coalition forces of the two countries. Wei Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was subdued, and he sincerely suggested to Tian Jian.
These words sound like words of concern for An Pingjun and Tao Jun, but if you think about it, this is to divide the rights of An Pingjun!
Although An Pingjun is old, he has not yet reached the level where he can't even command the army!
And let Meng Ao go as a deputy general, this is to support a famous general of the Qi State, to weaken An Pingjun's huge influence in the army.
After all, although the country of Qi is big, it is not the era of famous generals twenty years ago, at that time, Tian Ji, Sun Bin, Sima Sui Tho, and Kuang Zhang were all famous generals, the god of war, and now there is only one famous general in Qi State, Tian Dan, not to mention that Tian Dan is already old.
Meng Ao, who was beside him, showed a grateful face, glanced at Wei Yi, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to go to Tao County as soon as possible to help An Pingjun lead the war!" ”
Tian Jian's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, although what Wei Yi said was exactly what he wanted, but when Wei Yi opened his mouth, the meaning was different, if Meng Ao was in the upper position, I am afraid that there would be a suspicion that he would not go!
Now Meng Ao has the record of annihilating Bai Qi's 30,000 light cavalry, this fame is enough to make him famous in the world, after all, Bai Qi is the world's top general, even if this has water, but it can also explain Meng Ao's military talent.
"Hongu means... Mr. Wei is right, An Pingjun is now old and difficult to use troops for a long time, and the palace wants to stabilize the Qi country, it is best for General Meng to go, but Wei Qing next to me is also good, otherwise General Meng and Wei Qing will jointly lead the 50,000 Qi troops of Pinglu to the battlefield together. Tian Jian glanced at Meng Ao and said lightly.
Wei Qing, who was next to him, suddenly got off his horse and knelt down to Tian Jian: "The minister will definitely not live up to His Highness's expectations!" ”
As a person who entered the sixth rate of the prince at the same time as Meng Ao, Wei Qing was a little jealous of Meng Ao, and the prince let Meng Ao go in the battle of Taoyi last year, and this time the siege and annihilation of the Qin army was led by Meng Ao.
Why are they all subordinate officials of the crown prince, and Meng Ao is favored by His Royal Highness alone? And isn't he Wei Qing as good as Meng Ao?
Of course, Tian Jian also has a consideration, yes, Meng Ao, you are good, but if you are only reused, can others be convinced? What's more, when Wei Qing and Tian Jian were in Chen Ying, Chu State, the relationship between the two was also extremely close.
Meng Ao was a little stunned for a moment, but when he swept Tian Jian's eyes at him, a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from his back, he was too eager for quick success, this is a taboo for a courtier, "General Hewei will definitely return triumphantly." ”
"Very good, what does Mr. Wei think?" Tian Jian smiled faintly.
"This?" The corners of Wei Yi's mouth barely put a smile on him, the prince adopted his advice, but he added Wei Qing, this is a vigilance against him!
Wenchen and military generals should keep a certain distance!
In the Warring States Period, the distinction between Wenchen and military generals became more and more apparent, not like in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wenchen and military generals were all one person.
The foundation of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru's harmony is also based on the fact that they don't look at each other correctly, if they are all wearing a pair of pants, King Zhao Huiwen will be in a hurry, and no emperor can stand his own generals and civil officials.
"Your Royal Highness has a degree of reward and a clear use of people, this time there must be something to think about, Wei Yi is not afraid to make suggestions." Wei Yi said.
Tian Jian let out an "um", turned his head to look at Meng Ao and Wei Qing and said, "This palace is holding a banquet in the palace, looking forward to the triumphant return of the two generals. ”
"The ministers will never live up to His Highness's expectations!" The two glanced at each other and said respectfully.
You must know that Tian Jian mobilized 50,000 troops from Pingludu, plus 150,000 soldiers and horses in Taoyi, that is, a full 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there is absolutely no reason to be invincible in this battle.
"Okay, this palace is looking forward to the victory of the two of you." A smile appeared on Tian Jian's face.
