Chapter 56: Diplomatic Wrangling

Wei Hou trembled with anger, and his hands on crutches became tighter and tighter, and he couldn't wait to press his head into the floor tiles. He wants to scold others, but he doesn't know who to scold for a while, so he can't scold himself and suffer himself, right?

At this moment, the old man randomly caught a glimpse of Wei Sima. The other party was startled and quickly lowered his head into the dust. But it was too late, and when Wei Hou saw his cowardice, like a cannon battle lit in an instant, he threw the crutch over with the power of thunder.

"You shit, a great defeat has caused such an embarrassment to the widow! Aren't you a soft bone willing to ask for peace for Uncle Zheng? Well, the widow will break your backbone! "Anyway, he brutally let the guards drag him down for execution.

Poor Wei Sima has been beaten to the point of bleeding from the abduction. He covered the wound on his forehead and said not a word of begging for mercy. I don't know if I was frightened, or if I wanted to leave a little last dignity for myself.

The ministers were also shocked by this sudden change, and they all fell silent. Even Sheng Sima, who had always liked to squeeze Wei Sima, did not dare to speak. In their eyes, Jun Shang was the politician who talked and laughed and had a good demeanor as depicted in the poem "Qi Ao". However, perhaps because most of his life was too smooth, he will now transform into an irritable and irritable devil due to the setbacks of his later years.

After Wei Hou vented his anger, his body seemed to be hollowed out. A wave of dizziness hit, and the attendants hurriedly helped him to the couch.

Wei Neizai was shocked and anxious to step forward, but he just leaned out half of his body and hesitated. In the end, he plucked up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, at this critical juncture, the defense of the country depends on you, and nothing is as important as your body!" ”

Wei Hou slowed down for a while, and said weakly: "Neizai, you assist Gongzi Ji Yang to supervise the country, and take a top first." ”

"This ......" Neizai and everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect the master to suddenly have such an idea. After a while, he cautiously asked, "Then~ How do you think you should deal with the current situation?" ”

"See for yourself, even if you can't stop the general trend, don't be led by the nose by the digging child."

The honest and fearful Neizai feels a great responsibility, where can he dare to make his own decisions. However, Wei Hou didn't allow him to ask any more, and directly waved his hand to let everyone leave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the birds and beasts scattered. But Wei Neizai remembered Wei Sima's fate, and he really didn't dare to undertake such a dangerous task. Although it is said that Ji Yang is in charge of the country, but after all, he is the prince, and if something really goes wrong, the board still has to hit Shoufu's ass. He had no choice but to cry and mourn, and lay there wailing: "Your Majesty......"

Wei Hou was extremely disappointed, and helplessly held up: "Can't you share the worries of the widow?" ”

"How can a minister dare to take on such a heavy responsibility?"

"Don't worry, the widow won't give up. I just want to recharge my energy for a while, and only when it is critical will I have the strength to come out and subdue the extrusion. ”

"But ......"

"Are you a waste like that Sima?" The old man was angry again, "Your clan is blessed by the Patriotic Office, if you can't even do this little thing, just go and become a wild man in the field with your whole family!" ”

Wei Neizai saw that his master was so angry that he coughed violently, for fear that he would make a ruthless move, so he didn't dare to talk anymore, and turned around and retreated.

As soon as he left the palace gate, the saint Sima who had been running fast before suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Neizai, congratulations to Neizai, now that he is in power, it is really like the sun!" ”

"You ......" Wei Neizai was furious, "If you are envious, then I will go to the Emperor Ming and fully recommend you to be this pillar!" ”

"How dare you, how dare you, I won't make trouble with you. You'd better hurry up and find that precious boy on the king. With that, he laughed and walked away.

When Neizai heard this, he became even more sad, it turned out that this so-called "baby boy" Ji Yang was also a strange one.

Wei Hou Jihe has lived for more than half a century, and his children and grandchildren are full. Probably due to hereditary habits, he is also like his father, who is used to loving the young. This Ji Yang is the old man in his old age, and he is naturally spoiled by the old man. However, when Ji He was favored back then, he was only rewarded with money, and the political monarchy was still snatched by killing his brother. When it was his turn to be the youngest son, he simply became the prince directly, and the money and politics were in place.

From such an experience, it can be seen that Ji Yang is destined to be a gentleman. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but he doesn't know anything about political affairs. When Nei Zai ran to convey his intentions, this guy hummed softly. And then, there's really no then.

Poor Wei Neizai was very helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and go on his own.

He pondered Wei Hou's instructions repeatedly, that is, the sentence "Even if you can't stop the general trend, don't be led by the nose of the digging child". Judging from the first half of the sentence, the master probably has to accept mediation. However, the second half of the sentence suggests that he has to find a way to cause some trouble for the excavator.

But Wei Guo doesn't have many chips in his hand now, so what trouble can he create?

Wei Neizai couldn't sleep and eat, and he became more and more anxious at home, beating and scolding his wife, children, and subordinates at every turn to vent his anger. Once, the youngest son was not convinced, and he dared to reply that his father was unreasonable. He shouted angrily: "This is my home, I am Tianli, I have the final say!" ”

This suddenly roared and did not matter, but it unexpectedly brought inspiration. Why not take advantage of the home advantage to bring the three parties to Ho Jing to talk? This is equivalent to the "home" of the country, and the armed forces and ministers are their own people, so they can naturally put pressure on the opponent. Besides, if the meeting place can be placed in front of Wei Hou's eyes, he will no longer be able to hide, and the pressure on Neizai will be much less.

However, how can we convince Zhou and Zheng Laihaojing? Wei Neizai's eyes rolled, and he thought about it.

After the pressure of the princes' public opinion, Wei Guo finally expressed his position. In the mouths of the envoys sent from all walks of life, in addition to agreeing to talks, they also warmly invited all parties to come to Hojing for consultations. The reason is also high-sounding. After all, this is still the nominal national capital, and it is certainly more convincing for the Son of Heaven to preside over an international conference here.

Ji Yijiu's home stadium is in a corner, which is not a good choice in the first place, so he is still interested in this proposal. Wei Neejae seized on this point and focused on lobbying. The envoy followed the instructions before departure, and made vague hints at the banquet with the strength of wine. He said that although Wei Hou had already completed the renovation of the temple, he had never dared to hold a Feng'an ceremony, feeling that he was not qualified to invite back the spiritual position of his ancestors.

When Shenhou heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. If you can take the opportunity to promote this matter this time, it will be a perfect opportunity to declare that your side is the Son of Heaven. So, my grandfather had to give his grandson a look. In this way, Ji Yijiu was quickly dealt with by Wei Neizai and took the lead in supporting the opening of the alliance meeting in Hojing.

As a result, Zheng Guo's side fell into passivity, and the court began to argue.

Suo Qiu said: "Hojing is completely within the deterrent range of the Holy Sixth Division, and even if we lead the army there, it will be a drop in the bucket. You must not enter the tiger's mouth! ”

Jing Sheng felt that it was okay to go: "The main alliance of the Son of Heaven is located in the capital, and it is also consistent with our idea of trying to elevate Ji Yijiu's status. As for the marquis, in front of the eyes of the princes of the world, how dare he do something treacherous? ”

"Wei Hou is a villain, and the king has to guard against it."

"Weiguo is a great country, after Kang Gong, how dare he risk the disapproval of the world? Even if he is old and confused, the courtiers of the country will not allow the king to do such a discrediting thing. ”

Not surprisingly, the next controversy between the two naturally slipped into the demeanor of a great country, aristocratic etiquette and religion, etc., which shows how stubborn the ideological imprint of class origin is on people.

Digging Tu searched carefully in his mind for a long time, and confirmed that the first time he used a trick at the alliance meeting in the Spring and Autumn Period was more than a hundred years later. The protagonist is still Song Xianggong in that wrong era. He regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, and held meetings without troops, but was deceived by the Chu people and arrested on the spot. At that time, the Chu people were still embarrassed to do this kind of thing because they claimed to be barbarians, and they were despised by the Chinese princes for another one or two hundred years. From this point of view, the current Wei Hou should not do anything indiscriminate.

However, after all, he was a person more than 2,000 years later, and he was influenced by "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" since he was a child. In the eyes of the Spring and Autumn aristocracy, the "three indiscriminate methods" are all "tricks and clever schemes" in the mouths of later generations. Therefore, let him go to Weihou's lair for a meeting in a bright and bright manner, and there will always be a lingering shadow in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to agree, and he muttered to himself, "It's better to choose a place in the middle." ”

When the ministers heard this, they stopped arguing, but they could not give a good suggestion for a while. The court suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, Situ Bofu, who had always been a panacea and couldn't do business, stood up. He straightened his clothes, supported Eguan, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. If you don't talk about it, you feel that it's a pity, and if you say it, you're afraid that it will be inappropriate. Think about it......"
