Chapter 37 Wei has Xinling, Zhao has Chang'an
"Heroic son, cultivation name, corporal Lixian, the people of the country are praised, Wei has Xinling, Zhao has Chang'an?"
On the last day of February, at the Longtai of Zhao Wanggong, Zhao Wangdan pondered this sentence and felt more and more wrong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiangbang, is this putting Chang'anjun and Wei Gongzi Wuji together?"
Wei Gongzi Wuji, the youngest son of King Wei Zhao and the younger brother of Wei Wangyu, was named "Xinling Jun".
This prince was a benevolent corporal, and made friends with them humbly and politely, regardless of whether the other party was virtuous or unscrupulous, and never treated the scholars with his own noble status. So inside and outside Wei, the scholars within a radius of thousands of miles all rushed to join him, and the number of diners under his door reached 3,000. The rise of Xinlingjun coincided with the weak period of Wei after the defeat in the Battle of Huayang, because of his fame, many disciples, and friendly relations with the rulers of Qi, Chu, Zhao, and Han.
King Zhao frowned, recalling that when Xinling Jun came to Handan to visit Pingyuan Jun a few years ago, he had a relationship with him, which was a beautiful son who made people feel like a spring breeze, and then thought about his younger brother who was spoiled by his mother, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously:
"Xinling Jun is a well-known virtuous son in the world, is the widow's younger brother worthy of being as famous as him!?"
"The king can't underestimate Chang'anjun......" Zhao Mu, a fortunate minister dressed in a glamorous purple robe, leaned over and whispered softly.
"As far as the minister knows, since he deceived Master Zuo's approval, Chang'an Jun has not been idle at all. He first ran to Purple Mountain, visited Ma Fujun, and immediately after returning to the streets and alleys of Handan, he recruited rangers, encouraged them to be heroes for the country and the people, and then went to Pingyuanjun's mansion, and Mr. Gongsun Long refuted and made a draw. ”
These last two things made Chang'anjun famous in the circle of Handan's nine-stream and ten-rate families and rangers, but Zhao Wangdan was more concerned about his younger brother going to see Zhao Hao, and immediately asked: "He went to visit Ma Fujun?" So what's going on? ”
Zhao Mu said: "Externally, it is said that he wants Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, to escort him to the Qi country, but in fact, the things on the mountain are from the mouths of the two of them, not the ears of the three of them, what did they say, hey, who knows......"
"You mean, Ma Fujun ...... him?"
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan's face was uncertain, Zhao Mu also knew that Ma Fujun, one of the Four Pillars Kingdom, was slandered by himself, and the enemy he was currently going to help King Zhao defeat was only Chang'an Jun, so he hurriedly added: "Of course, Ma Fujun is the confidant of the former king, and he is naturally loyal to the king. ”
Zhao Wangdan snorted coldly: "What's the matter?" It's not that I have great ambitions, relying on the favor of the queen mother, and I feel unfair about being the king! This son, I let him endure him, but he became unscrupulous, but the distinction between the monarch and the minister has been decided, and now he is going to Qi to be a hostage, he should die, right? ”
Zhao Mu said: "Maybe Chang'anjun is so famous because he wants to emulate someone?" ”
"Emulate whom?" King Zhao was puzzled.
Zhao Mu chewed his tongue and said, "He's imitating Xinling Jun!" Lin Xiangbang had already seen it, so he said these words to remind the king. ”
"Remind me?"
After Zhao Mu invited King Zhao to sit down, he told him such a story.
"That was three years ago, Xinling Jun and King Wei went to Yecheng to inspect the area, the two of them were playing Liubo chess, and they didn't want the northern Zhangshui border to be in flames, and an alarm came that my Zhao State sent troops to invade Wei and would enter the border."
Zhao Wangdan was a little puzzled: "Three years ago? I, Zhao, have never sent troops to attack Wei. ”
Zhao Mu smiled: "This is natural, the king and listen to the minister." ”
At that time, the king of Wei was shocked, immediately put down the chess pieces, and was about to convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures. However, Xin Lingjun dissuaded the king of Wei and said that this was just a hunting for the king of Zhao, not an invasion of the border. He continued to play chess with King Wei, as if nothing had happened, but King Wei was frightened, his mind was not focused on playing chess, and he retreated in defeat after defeat. ”
"After a while, another border general came from the north and said that it was just King Zhao hunting, not invading the border. King Wei was shocked when he heard this, and asked Xin Lingjun how he knew in advance? Xin Lingjun replied, "One of my diners is in Handan, serving by the side of King Zhao, and if King Zhao makes any move, he will immediately report me, so I know about it......"
After saying this, Zhao Mu spread his hands and said: "Later, someone from the first king's office was deposed, and that person was secretly loyal to Xinling Jun. The king was mixed into the court as a high-ranking official by the disciples of the prince of the neighboring country, which is naturally a bad thing for the Zhao State, but is this a fortunate thing for the King of Wei? ”
Zhao Wangdan gritted his teeth: "If the widow is the king of Wei, he will definitely be unpleasant to eat and can't sleep at night, who is the king?" This Xinling Monarch is simply unfathomable, and it is more terrifying than the beacon invaded by the neighboring countries......"
"Then does the king want to have a son like Xinling Jun by his side?"
Zhao Wangdan clenched his fists and said, "I don't want to!" ”
Zhao Mu said with a smile: "However, it is good if the other generation is dedicated to being a happy son, but once he has ambitions, he will set up the court and become the traitorous ministers and tyrants of Qi Mengjun and Zhao Fengyangjun back then, and then he can follow the example of Han and Yan, the sons of Song, and do the thing of abolishing the establishment and replacing them!" ”
"King, now Lin Xiangbang is tied with Zhao Chang'anjun and Wei Xinlingjun, which is reminding the king, you must guard against it!"
"The widow knows, of course the widow knows."
King Zhao got up and paced in the house: "Originally, I wanted to send Chang'anjun to the Qi Kingdom as a hostage, didn't it just so that he could not threaten the throne of the widow, who would have thought that this son was good at taking advantage of the situation to fish for fame, but he made his reputation rise day by day, and I couldn't help it......"
He pressed his temples in distress and sighed: "Fortunately, he is going to Qi State, after many years, I don't know if he can come back, even if he returns safely, by then the widow will be familiar with the court and control the Zhao State in his hands, even if he is famous and famous outside, attracting the world's sideways, he can't shake the widow in the slightest!" ”
King Zhao's confidence came from the letter sent from the Great Liang of Wei the day before yesterday.
"Yu Xin has accepted the widow's invitation and is coming to Handan, I will definitely use him again." King Zhao's face was overjoyed, as long as the mastermind came to assist him, he would be able to speed up the rectification of the dynasty and start a new policy.
"Congratulations to the King!"
Zhao Mu Weiwei knew in his heart that as long as Yu Xin came, his position in the Zhao Wang faction would be second, but this was also a helpless thing, although Yu Xin was a poor man, he was indeed a talent for governing the country.
"But despite this, I still hope that Chang'anjun will go, the sooner the better, the farther the better!"
Zhao Wangdan raised his head and looked at the moonlight outside the window, looking forward to coming sooner tomorrow, Chang'an Jun, his younger brother who is getting more and more difficult to deal with day by day, get out of here!
……
"Lin Xiangbang put me alongside Xinlingjun?"
Chang Anjun's residence, after learning about this from Miao Xian's mouth, Mingyue was a little flattered.
Xinlingjun is in his thirties and has been looking forward to it for more than ten years, but Mingyue is only fifteen years old and is beginning to appear. But think about it, there are indeed many similarities between what he did and Wei Guoxin Lingjun.
They are all the younger brothers of King Zhao Wei, and there is a mediocre elder brother, who initially gained fame, and they all started from the market:
A few years ago, Xin Lingjun heard that there was a poor hermit named Hou Huan in the Great Liang Yimen of Wei State, so he wanted to recruit this person and personally run the royal car, that Hou Ying deliberately neglected Xin Lingjun twice, observed his attitude, but found that he was not only angry, but also the more respectful his attitude, the more harmonious the color, and when he arrived at home, he welcomed Hou Huan as a guest. Through this incident, everyone felt that Xinlingjun was a generous person who could treat scholars with humility, and they came to him one after another, and Wei Wuji's reputation became known to the world.
Now he Chang'anjun also recruited ten rangers for hunger marketing, and shouted the slogan of "the great man of chivalry for the country and the people", to build momentum for himself, although the current people who came to take refuge have been politely rejected, but his Chang'anjun's reputation has already risen, and even Lin Xiangru can't help but look sideways, thinking that he is enough to be tied with Xinlingjun...... Although the two have different methods, they have the same tricks.
Mingyue was full of spirit for a while, and secretly thought in her heart: "Xinling Jun, Wei Wuji, the most virtuous person among the four princes of the Warring States...... Li Bai's poem is well written, 'Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward.' will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. Save Zhao with a golden hammer, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in the autumn, Xuanhe Daliang City'. Xinlingjun, you are a famous son among the sons, the best among the heroes, you can attack Qin together and suppress Qin for more than ten years, but it's a pity that after I come to this era, I'm afraid you won't be able to dominate the scene! ”
However, Miao Xian, who came to inform him of this, was not optimistic at all, but said: "What Chang Anjun has done these days, the old servants have seen it in their eyes, Zuo Shigong, Pingyuan Jun, Mr. Gongsun Long, Lin Xiangbang, everywhere Chang Anjun went, there was a lot of praise, but the old servant had a sentence in his heart to tell Chang Anjun." ”
Mingyue woke up suddenly and said humbly: "I wish to listen to the teachings of the eunuch." ”
Miao Xian glanced at him and said earnestly: "This fame is not as prosperous as possible...... Although Xinlingjun has also been praised by the people of the world, the king of Wei is afraid of his virtuous ability and does not dare to let Xinlingjun participate in national affairs, so Xinlingjun is still just an idle son, and the power in his hands is much inferior to that of Pingyuan Jun in our country......"
Mingyue knew that this was to persuade him to keep his head in obscurity, and even learn from Pingyuan Jun from time to time to be confused, so he said: "The kid is young, lacks the guidance of the teacher, and acts recklessly, thank you for the eunuch order!" ”
Miao Xian saw that Chang Anjun seemed to accept his suggestion, so he patted his forehead and said with a smile: "The old servant is also confused, obviously he came to invite Chang Anjun to come over on the order of the Queen Mother, but now he has forgotten about the business!" ”
Mingyue is a little strange, he just had a meal with the Empress Dowager Zhao in the afternoon, and now the Empress Dowager calls him again, what is the so-called matter?
Miao Xian didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously: "Childe knew in the past." ”
……
"Mother, aren't you feeling unwell?"
As soon as she arrived at the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhao in Fengtai, Mingyue hurriedly walked inside, the Empress Dowager Zhao was not in good health, if she remembered correctly, her regency did not last for a few years, and now if you want to say that the month of going to Qi to Handan still has any nostalgia and worries, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhao, who has been regarded by him as his biological mother.
"You kid, what are you worried about, the old woman is fine."
Empress Dowager Zhao was supported by two palace maids with good faces, and she didn't look bad, but her face was a little haggard, and her son was about to go out, but she could only force a smile and take care of everything for him, so as to disperse the sorrow of parting.
But Touch Long is right, even if he loves him and protects him, he will grow up one day.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhao laughed, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious.
"Mingyue, come here."
Greeted Mingyue cordially, took his hand, Empress Dowager Zhao asked him to sit on the couch, and said: "The baggage and guards to be brought have been arranged, and now, only the people who go to Linzi to wait for you have not been determined, a few days ago you said that you have something to do, and you have not come for a long time, here tonight, this matter must be decided, otherwise I don't worry about you going far!" ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Mingyue agreed or not, she clapped her palms, and for a while, more than 20 young maids wearing silk threads walked out from behind the screen, bowed in front of Mingyue, and said softly:
"The concubine has seen Chang'anjun!"
