In the battle on the outskirts of Beijing, the coalition forces were defeated. When the news reached Haojing, the old man Wei was so angry, he was so anxious that he smashed things and scolded people, he had never lost his grace so much. People who are almost eighty years old are still angry and fainted.

According to historical records, Wei Hou's life limit has probably not yet arrived. So after he closed the ghost door and turned around, he returned the yang in a leisurely manner.

When Wei Sima returned, the old man was still recuperating in bed, so he had to report to the sickbed with a few key ministers. He was born in a family of military attachés who have been generals for generations, and he is upright by nature, so he naturally has the aristocratic habit of "keeping promises". Therefore, after 1510 explained the process of the war, in addition to sincerely pleading guilty, he still did not forget to persuade peace for Dutu.

Wei Hou closed his eyes, too lazy to take care of this waste wood.

The so-called peers are enemies, and Sima of the "Holy Sixth Division" next to him was the first to attack and severely criticized: "Uncle Zheng is such a hypocritical style, can't Master Sima see it?" ”

"The minister also looked at Uncle Zheng like this. However, when he spoke to me face to face, he was reasonable, well-founded, and sincere, not pretentious! ”

"You're scared, aren't you? He boasted about the enemy. ”

"You ......" Wei Sima was humiliated, and he had a routine with him at the beginning to squeeze Song Sima, which was really unpleasant.

"Don't get entangled in such meaningless things as Zheng Bo's character, our next countermeasures are the focus." Wei Neizai saw that Wei Hou was still reluctant to speak, so he hurriedly came out to extinguish the fire, "According to the minister's opinion, now that Zheng Guo is in trouble and Jin Guo is following suit, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it." It was now easy for them to attack the defense of the country, which was thousands of miles away. Even if Zheng Bo and the Marquis of Jin had no such intention, if the two former allies turned against the monarch at the same time, the temporarily subdued countries of Zhou and Qin in the West and Qi and Lu in the East would inevitably rebound. When the time comes, the authority of the Holy Week Calling will only collapse in fear. Therefore, it is not a good idea for us to negotiate peace. ”

"The difference between what Najae said. It is precisely because of the urgency of the situation that we need to quickly subdue Zheng and Jin to stabilize the situation! "Saint Sima was anxious to perform, and took the initiative to ask for an attack, "The Holy Sixth Division is composed of the elite of the world, and its combat power exceeds that of any prince's army. The minister is willing to lead the troops out of the customs, first Zheng and then Jin, to relieve the danger of defending the country! ”

"We are in the west, Wei Guo is in the east, and Zheng and Jin are sandwiched in between. If you send troops now, you will inevitably be ambushed by them halfway. This battle is not something that Saint Sima can win if he wants to! ”

"This harmony is not something that can be negotiated by Nezai! Now that our side is defeated, what can we use as a bargaining chip in negotiations? "Sheng Sima is still not convinced," Zheng Bo used one country to fight against the alliance of princes, although he won by luck, he must also be exhausted. Therefore, his hypocrisy is a delaying tactic, and after delaying time, he will double the counteroffensive and count, and he will not give up until he destroys our country. According to the minister, Zheng Bo's heart for peace must be insincere......"

"cough~cough~cough~" Suddenly, the old man who had been standing on the bed returned his soul, and reluctantly sat up with the support of all the attendants. He took a sip of warm water, tried to moisten his dry throat, and said faintly: "Zheng Bo's heart for peace must be sincere. ”

Wei Hou's age is nothing in modern times, but in ancient times, it was an existence at the level of "Renrui". He has been in charge of the defense of the country for more than half a century, and he is older than all the ministers in front of him, so his prestige is extremely high. Therefore, as soon as he spoke, Neizai and Sima Zhizhi no longer argued, but only dared to kneel down honestly and listen.

"Do you remember how the widow's 'Holy Week Call' came about?"

Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to respond.

"Don't forget, the system of 'Holy Week Call' was designed by Zheng Bo. If it weren't for the outnumbered knife to snatch love, he would have sat in this position of his dreams a long time ago. Therefore, his ambition is not to attack the country at all, but to regain Zhou Zhao's position. ”

"His ambition is so great, then the king should destroy him as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."

"As St. Sima said, this man is not a thing of the pool. Although he endured the pain of promoting the widow to the position of Zhou Zhao, he has been accumulating strength, and once he gets the opportunity, he will definitely make a big move, and he will never stop until the ultimate goal is achieved. This is also the reason why the widow repeatedly provoked trouble with forced marriage, until he met him in battle. The purpose behind it is to take advantage of Zheng Guo's fledgling wings and completely cripple him. ”

"In that case, let's send troops!" Saint Sima seemed to see the opportunity to make meritorious service again, and his eyes were bright.

Wei Hou shook his head and denied his opinion.

Saint Sima was puzzled and couldn't figure out why. I saw Jun Shang slanting at Wei Sima on the side, and said in a hateful tone: "It's not appropriate to send troops now, it's not because the battle on the outskirts of Beijing was lost too badly!" ”

Wei Sima shrunk his neck and knelt even lower.

As soon as Old Man Wei became angry, his chest began to feel uncomfortable again. For the sake of this old life, he had to desperately suppress the anger in his heart, and said solemnly: "Just now, Neizai has analyzed the danger of sending troops. Now that the Wei Division has collapsed, if something goes wrong with the Holy Sixth Division, the widow will have no capital at all. ”

"Since the king thinks that the current advantages are in the hands of Zheng Bo, why do you still think that he will sincerely negotiate peace?"

After a cough, Wei Hou took another sip of water. He eased his breath and said slowly: "You, you know that when you fight, your understanding is too low. The reason for what the widow has just said is that Uncle Zheng regards Zhou Zhao more seriously than anything else. ”

Saint Sima's face was dazed, and he looked stupid like rotten wood that could not be carved.

Wei Neizai saw that Jun Shang was too lazy to explain, so he couldn't help but interject: "If Wei Guo collapses, the Zhou Zhao system will also collapse." Therefore, in order to keep his hard work, Zheng Bo will not dare to push us too hard, and it is reasonable to negotiate peace. ”

"How can it be so mysterious as you say?" Seeing that Neizai wanted to educate him, Sheng Sima was naturally very unhappy, "He wants to be a saint Zhou Zhao, just win the opponent." What kind of ability do people who are afraid of this and that have the ability to command the world? ”

"If this matter can only rely on war, then why did the king go to great lengths to restore the temple, build the army, and cast the tripod? If you rely on King Qin's military merits alone, at most you can only be a powerful minister under the Son of Heaven. Don't forget that Holy Zhou is not a subordinate of the Son of Heaven, but an equal to the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the opportunity to establish a weekly call system is not something that exists. ”

In order to show his cleverness, Wei Neizai became more and more energetic, "If it weren't for the fact that Inurong broke through the capital three years ago, causing the royal family to split and the heroes to compete for the king, this kind of opportunity second only to the change of dynasty would never have appeared." After this moment, it is impossible for the princes of all walks of life to tolerate the recurrence of such a system. ”

"It's all your obscenity!" Sheng Sima was still unconvinced, "No matter at any time, as long as you have enough strength, you can establish the system you want!" ”

"This is not an empty judgment! Not to mention far away, if you think about the riot of the people of the country 70 years ago, King Zhou Li fled, what a lot of turmoil it was. Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao replaced the Son of Heaven for 14 years, and their status couldn't be higher, and in the end, they still had to obediently return their power. Why? It was because the succession of the Son of Heaven was not chaotic at that time, and the national capital Hojing was still in the hands of the royal family, so Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao only dared to take custody for the time being. ”

Seeing that St. Sima was silent, Wei Neizai triumphantly continued to "popularize science": "In contrast, in this turmoil, not only did the fall of the capital lead to a great decline in the power of the royal family, but also there were disputes over the succession of the throne, so that the monarch had the opportunity to reach the height of sharing the four seas and eight wildernesses with the Son of Heaven. This opportunity is really rare in a century, so once the Zhou Zhao system that Wei and Zheng fought so hard to build caused the credibility of the Zhou Zhao system, it would fall into a complete lose-lose situation. ”

"According to what you say, let's hold the life and death of the Zhou Zhao system, won't Uncle Zheng never dare to do anything to us?"

Wei Hou saw that Sheng Sima was like a boiled duck - still with a hard mouth, and he really hated that iron could not become steel, so he had to come out again and teach a lesson: "Do you think that Zheng Bo's wisdom is as shallow as yours? Don't look at this person's young age, but he is very smart. Two or three years ago, he may have been a little immature, and the widow could still suppress it in the battle of Zhou Zhao. Now that he is in the process of breaking through the coalition forces, I am afraid that he has grown into a very difficult opponent. ”

The old man stared at the purple smoke rising from the incense burner, and sighed faintly in a woman-like tone: "Uncle Zheng is afraid that he has already found a way to break the situation. ”
