Chapter 149: The Meaning of the Marquis of Wei
After a while, the dusty Wang Sun Man walked in from outside the hall and bowed down to the tunnel, "The minister Sun Man greets my king!" ”
This is more than half a year later Wang Sunman saw the king again, and there are too many things that have happened in this half a year, you must know that the last time Wang Sunman left, although he was also in Luoyang to say goodbye, although he also met again in Luoyang at this time, but at this time it is not that time, the royal family has become the real master of Luoyang.

Zhou Bian hurriedly helped him up, "Doctor Man has worked hard, and it is difficult for you, I have been left in the north for so long." ”
After the two of them sat down again, in Zhou Bian's expectant gaze, Wang Sunman spoke, "My lord, this is because the Marquis of Wei wants to exalt his authority to me, so he left me in the army and marched north. After the defeat of Korea in Wusui, the Marquis of Wei waved his army north, first stalemate with the Zhao army in Huaidi, and then launched an offensive soon after, defeating the Zhao army in Huaidi. At this time, his subordinates were in the army, and they saw the combat power of the Wei army, and they were really the heroes of the world! ”
"Oh, what the hell is a male method?" I haven't had the opportunity to take a closer look at the combat power of the Wei army, and Zhou Bian is also very curious.
"The soldiers in the Wei army are all tall, with a sword in their left hand and a crossbow in their right hand, and a crossbow on their backs, these equipment on an ordinary soldier's body plus armor weigh more than thirty pounds, but the Wei soldiers can run for several miles to launch a fierce attack, and they are really worthy of being the world-famous Wei warriors. The Wei army fought, the discipline was strict, the front was erected with a big shield when the formation, the rear was attacked with a bow and crossbow, after three rounds of arrows, the trumpet sounded, the whole army threw away the big shield and rushed forward together, not afraid of death, the momentum was snatched, and the Zhao army was cowardly, and before the Wei army rushed to the front, the front was already a little chaotic, and the general decisive battle, the Wei army was a charge, and then rushed the Zhao army and won a big victory. Wang Sunman frowned, and seemed to have returned to the battlefield where the sound of fighting continued.
"Oh. Wei is known for its strong soldiers, so I think it's the case every time we fight, right? Zhou Bian asked with concern.
"Exactly, this is what the Marquis of Wei boasted to me, saying that the Wei army is a strong soldier in the world, and the battle in front of the battle is invincible."
That's good, Zhou Bian took a breath, just the strength of the army, Zhou Bian is not afraid, according to Wang Sunman said, the way the Wei army fights is to first line up and then charge, too single, if it is the enemy in the future, just a little trick, you can break it, not to be afraid.
"However, Wei Hou was very arrogant and made some requests, at the beginning, Wei Hou still mentioned it to me very vaguely, but later he said it directly. And listening to the meaning of the Marquis of Wei, he will soon send an envoy to Luoyang, and may mention it to the king in person. Wang Sunman said with some slush
"What? You just say it. Zhou Bian frowned, it was not expected to be a good thing.
"He wants the king to give him the title of uncle." Wang Sunman gritted his teeth and said.
"Uncle Fang, what is it?" Zhou Bian was a little puzzled.
"Uncle Fang is the chief of the princes, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, commanding the world, in the past, Duke Wen of Jin was named Uncle Fang by King Xiang." Wang Sunman explained.
It turned out to be what the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period did, Qi Huan and Jin Wen Kai, replacing the royal power with hegemony, which is a certain benefit for the development of the whole China, and can concentrate on doing big things, such as Qi Huan Gong driving away the dog Rong, Jin Wen Gong defeated the Chu army, but for the orthodox Zhou royal family in the world, it is not a good thing. Therefore, Wei Houti is obscure, and what Wang Sunman said is also swallowed.
However, Zhou Bian smiled, "If he Wei Guo feels that he has strength, then it is not impossible for my royal family to make him Uncle Fang." ”
"Huh?" Wang Sunman couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he thought that the king's temper and child's temper couldn't stand such humiliation, but he didn't think that the king was even more free and easy than himself.
"When Doctor Man came back, did you notice any changes in my Luoyang City?" Before Wang Sunman could speak, Zhou Bian asked with a smile.
"Oh, the king doesn't mention it, I also want to ask, this is about to be a cold winter, why are you in such a hurry to repair the city wall?"
"It's not because of South Korea." Saying that, Zhou Bian told the rumors in South Korea and his own speculation in the recent period.
Hearing this, Wang Sun nodded and shook his head from time to time. "Alas, my royal family is too weak after all, and it is in the middle of the two great powers of Han and Wei." Saying that, Wang Sunman suddenly remembered something, and covered his mouth and said, "Isn't Wang Mo Xu in the name of Uncle Fang and wants to use the Wei State to balance Korea?" ”
Using the mutual checks and balances between the vassal states to secretly strengthen the royal family, this is the national policy determined by Zhou Bian after he ascended the throne, so Wang Sunman immediately thought of this, and Zhou Bian nodded at Wang Sunman with satisfaction. In Zhou Bian's view, development is the last word, what kind of uncle, princes, and chiefs, they are all false names, throw a false name out, but you can get a period of peaceful development, this business is a good deal.
However, Wang Sun Manyu was still shaking his head, "Great King, when Duke Wen of Jin defeated the Chu State, he helped the royal family rebuild the royal city and pacify the chaos in the royal family, obviously towards the royal family. Although the Wei State is strong now, I don't know what its intentions are for the royal family, if it is just to use this name to seek his own selfish interests of the Wei State, it is really better not to seal it. ”
Seeing that the king's face had not changed, obviously not accepting his opinion, Wang Sunman had no choice but to step forward, cover his mouth with his hand, and whisper, "King, then Wei Hou may have different intentions. ”
"What alien heart?" Zhou Bian was puzzled.
"He wants to be king himself."
Zhou Bian was taken aback when he heard this, could it be that the history should have come to the end, if I remember correctly, this generation of Wei Hou is King Wei Hui, the one who took the lead in calling the king, and since then the princes have all been called kings, because this is a turning point, so Zhou Bian remembers it more clearly.
However, the Marquis of Wei said that he was not the king, and he had nothing to do with himself, because in history, the Zhou royal family was destroyed by the Qin State, not the Wei State, even if the Marquis of Wei was called the king, his main contradiction was still with the Qin State, and the relationship with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Qi was not good, and the siege of Wei to save Zhao should happen soon, so the fall of Wei should also be in sight.
But people in the royal family will definitely not think so, the sky and the earth are big, and the face is the biggest, so it is no wonder that Wang Sunman is so dissatisfied with Wei Hou, and even consciously divided it into the ranks of enemies, in the eyes of the courtiers, everything who claims to be the king in vain is the enemy of the royal family.
After thinking about this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but wonder again, "Doctor Man, how can you see this?" Could it be that Wei Hou boasted about it, or did he say that he leaked his mouth? ”
Wang Sunman shook his head, "It's not that this is not, but there are ministers under Wei Hou, saying that Wei Hou is powerful and can be called king." However, Wei Hou shook his head and vetoed. ”
"You see all this, they said it to your face?" It is important whether you hear it or hear it in person.
"Well, yes, the ministers saw it in their eyes, and the ministers wanted to accuse, but they were stopped by Wei Hou. Alas, I thought that I could win over Wei Hou to fight Han Hou, but Wei Hou had different intentions, and the ministers were really incompetent. "When Zhou Bian first ascended the throne, it was Wang Sunman who proposed to join Wei to fight Han, and what he saw and heard in Wei this time hit him very hard.
Zhou Bian thought for a moment after persuading for a while, "There are two possibilities, first, Marquis Wei is too arrogant and really wants to be the king, so he doesn't take my royal family in his eyes at all, and he doesn't avoid your face." Second, Wei Hou is persecuting my royal family by advancing and retreating, which probably means that if you don't seal my uncle, I will simply call the king. Which one do you think is possible? ”
"No matter which possibility, it is not good for my royal family, if Wei can force my royal family to make him Uncle Fang, what about Qi and Zhao? Isn't it the same way? And what about South Korea, which is right next to us? In the case that Wei does not have an absolute advantage, he is named Uncle Fang, but I am afraid that it will arouse the dissent of other countries. Wang Sunman was obviously prejudiced against the Wei State, but soon changed his words, "The king doesn't have to worry about Korea, if South Korea really wants to attack Luoyang, it won't be this year, because South Korea is newly defeated, and it will be a cold winter soon, which is not conducive to sending troops, so it will be next year, during this time, we can go to negotiate with Han Hou, whether it is condemnation or interest exchange, as long as it can delay time, or make Han Hou no longer have the idea of coming out for the son's class." In addition, it really doesn't work, we also have a way, we can cut off the name of Han Hou's division at once, make his division nameless, and then move Qi Wei a little, and then force him to retreat. ”
"What's the method?" Zhou Bian was also curious, why didn't he think of it.
"The son of the late Zhou Dynasty, Gongzhi, has the king forgotten?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, this king gave a separate courtyard in the palace for his grandparents and grandchildren to live in, and he is very honest. Oh, I understand what you mean, you mean that since Han Hou came in the name of recovering the country for the Duke of Zhou, it is better for us to restore the country for him first, and make the Gongzhi the Duke of Zhou, and Luoyang is still in our hands, so that Han Hou will be nameless. Right? Zhou Bian said and thought of what Wang Sunman was referring to, and couldn't help clapping his hands excitedly. This is a good way, it is really the leader of the people, the young master Bai Guiningyue and the others did not think of it, but Wang Sun Man thought of it as soon as he came back.
Seeing that the king understood quickly, Wang Sunman also nodded again and again, "But the king, it has been less than half a year since the royal family returned to Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang are unstable. Why don't you send someone to find out Han Hou's tone first, if the king is not full of talent, then I will send an envoy to South Korea? ”
"The king you said also knows that it's just that Doctor Man has just come back from Hebei, and he wants to go to the east again, isn't he tired? How the king is willing to give up, let's choose another person. ”
"Now all the doctors are busy, only I just came back and don't have anything to do, let me go, the journey is by car, and I don't want to go, Your Majesty is fine." Wang Sunman said resolutely.
Zhou Bian thought about it, it was true that the young master and others were busy, and the rest of the idlers were not at ease, and only Wang Sun was full, so Zhou Bian nodded.
Wang Sunman was overjoyed and made a big salute, "Thank you to my king, Man, I will live up to the king's order." ”
"But don't worry, you just come back, let's rest for two days before leaving, and there are hidden people in Zheng Dunei, and this king will find someone to tell you in the past two days, and if you need it in the future, you can ask for help, but this is a secret." Zhou Bian refers to secret agents such as Liu Qiu who are hidden in the city of Zhengdu, and they may be able to come in handy if necessary, and Wang Sunman is not an outsider, his loyalty is reliable, and he is not afraid of him leaking out.
And seeing that the king trusted him so much, Wang Sunman kowtowed again.
After sending Wang Sunman away, Zhou Bian stretched his waist, it seems that these political affairs are not difficult to solve, and it is still necessary to use more people. It is said that talent is the key, and sure enough, now all kinds of talents under his command are basically available, if he can't make a big career, it would be ashamed.
Thinking that Zhou Bian was busy with the work at hand again, he replied to the ministers' recitals. Alas, they are all heavy bamboo slips, and I don't know how the paper is going to be carried out by Shen Bulaw. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a guard report from him, "The king, Dr. Shen came to worship, saying that there is something important to offer to the king." ”
Shen Bufa is here, isn't it made of paper? Zhou Bian dropped the bamboo slip in his hand, got up and ran out, and shouted, "Announce him in!" ”
