Chapter 068: Winning People's Hearts
ββ
A heavily guarded building in the castle.γγ lxiaoshuoγ
Wang Di, Huayangjun, and Meng Wei lived in the heavily guarded pavilion, and after the three were defeated and captured, they were escorted to Chaoge, although they were prisoners, Wei Zheng gave them super-standard favor, except for restricting their freedom, everything else was responsive.
Ten days later, Wei Ran received a reply from King Yingji of Qin: he agreed that Wei Zheng would exchange Fengling and Hangu Pass for Meng Fu and all his family members.
At this time, Meng Fu sat quietly on the bed in his house, motionless and silent, became a prisoner and was escorted to Chaoge.
It's just that after coming to Chaoge for so long, Meng Fu found that there was no change all the time, there was no freedom, there were attendants in the building, and the wine and meat were not pulled down, and different styles of food were changed every day.
But even so, being under house arrest for a long time in a room and being restricted in freedom, it is tasteless to be served with delicacies from the mountains and seas every day.
At this time, Meng Fu heard a knock on the door, and was surprised, he estimated the time and found that it was far from the time of the meal, and he did not make any special requests, and when he was a little curious, he responded: "Please come in-"
The door valve croaked his teeth, Meng Fu was still motionless on the bed, and suddenly a "husband" voice came into his ears, Meng Fu was like an electric shock, a pair of thick ink eyes suddenly opened, and a long-standing but extremely familiar figure appeared in his sight.
"Ma'am?" Meng Fu was shocked, and stood up excitedly in an instant, and saw a young man standing next to his wife who was about to perform a crown salute, and once again couldn't help but say in surprise: "Wu'er?!! β
Meng Fu's wife came with joy and tears, the family hugged each other, laughter and crying mixed with each other, and after a long time, Meng Fu said: "Why did you come to the court?" β
Meng Fu's wife wiped her tears from her face and stabilized her emotions before she spoke: "It's King Qin, he let us come to the Central Plains." β
"What's going on?" Meng Fu was full of doubts in his heart.
At this moment, a person appeared, and Meng Fu hurriedly greeted him when he saw it: "Marquis!" Sin will be deceived to meet the prime minister! β
Wei Ran stopped and shook his head slightly, and said, "Family reunion, happy event, hehe!" β
Meng Fu was even more puzzled: "Prime Minister, this ......" He stopped his words, and pointed to his wife and children, and the doubts in his heart obviously did not subside. Looking at Wei Ran's inquiring gaze again, the latter sighed and said, "General Meng, I will tell the general what happened." It's like this......"
For a long time, Meng Fu stood stunned, unable to let go for a long time, with a long sigh showing bitterness and loss, and sighed: "Meng Fu is still an outsider in the eyes of King Qin, hehe......"
Hearing that Meng Fu called him "King of Qin" instead of "my king" and not "king", he knew that he was cold, Wei Ran wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't know what to do for a long time, so he had to say: "General, don't go to your heart, my king also feels helpless......"
"Meng Fu doesn't dare, he is a general of the defeated army, and he can return to Qin with one person who can get Hangu Pass and Fengling for the King of Qin and return to Qin, which can be regarded as a meritorious service."
Wei Ran felt ashamed of Qin Guo and didn't want to stay any longer, so he took his leave after being polite.
"The general stays, don't leave it at that." Wei Ran turned back to Meng Fu and said, "I hope that in the future, you and I will not meet on the battlefield." β
As soon as he gave up his hand, Wei Ran didn't look back, and disappeared from Meng Fu's sight in a moment, and before he could sigh, he saw that the people who were originally guarding him in this pavilion had retreated, and Meng Ran immediately remembered Wei Ran's words, and walked back to the house in small steps: "Madam, you and Wu'er are temporarily living in the pavilion, and I will go to the palace to meet King Wei immediately." β
Panlong Palace.
Wei Zheng was approving the chapter, and at this time, the old chamberlain in the palace stepped forward to report: "King Qiyu, Qi people ask to see!" β
"Let him in!" Wei Zheng said without raising his head, the old chamberlain took the order, and was immediately stopped by Wei Zheng after walking two steps: "Slow-"
The old chamberlain hurriedly came back and asked, "What does the king command?" β
Wei Zheng thought about it for a while and muttered: "It's too rude, let's go and greet it in person, this is the way to treat the virtuous." Finally, he put down the music in his hand, got up and tidied up his clothes, and felt that it was okay and walked out of the hall.
Meng Fu, who was waiting outside the palace, had mixed tastes in his heart, he was originally a Qi person, from the west of Qi to Qin to serve the current Qin king, the official is the king, he is a guest in Qin, but he is loyal to Qin, and he thought that he would take root in Qin. But I still didn't expect that the King of Qin would not hesitate to abandon himself because of Hangu Pass and Fengling, and Meng Fu thought that he was not worth the two places of Hangu Pass and Fengling, and King Qin deserved it in one move, but even so, King Qin's unhesitation finally made him feel cold.
On the other hand, Wei Zheng and Meng Fu also think that they are a defeated general, how can they be? King Wei favored himself without hesitation at the expense of Hangu Pass and Fengling, which made him sincerely afraid, and it was impossible not to be moved.
King Qin, King Wei, the two monarchs' completely different actions made Meng Fu feel embarrassed, no wonder the world's talents are flocking to defend the country, no wonder King Wei's ministers are like clouds, fierce generals are like rain, all of them are reasonable.
Just when he sighed, Wei Zheng came, Meng Fu was surprised, he never thought that he would let the king of a country come out to greet him in person, such attention made him very moved and at the same time, the panic in his heart increased again, not that he was afraid of Wei Zheng, he was afraid of it.
"Qi people are unleashed, meet King Wei!"
"The general is exempt." Wei Zheng smiled and strode over, and immediately pulled the other party's arm and said, "Go!" The general entered the palace with the widows, hehe......"
King Wei was thirsty for talent, and it was indeed worthy of his reputation, and Meng Wei was emotional, and at the same time, he entered the Panlong Hall with Wei Zheng. To enter the hall, Wei Zheng stretched out his hand and signaled: "General, please take a seat!" β
"King Wei is serious, if King Wei doesn't sit down first, how dare he trespass!" Meng Fu repeatedly excused himself, and he was flattered by such a grand courtesy treatment.
Wei Zheng laughed twice and then came to the main seat and sat down, Meng Fu dared to take a seat, and suddenly said to the king: "How can you be in the next place?" When he was so gracious to King Wei, he was terrified. β
"The general can stand it!" Wei Zheng laughed loudly, at this time, several maids entered one after another, serving wine and delicacies, Wei Zheng drank himself, and said: "The battle of Hangu Pass, the general's prestige will be passed on to the ears of the widow, like thunder, the general personally led the Qin army and our coalition army to fight a bloody battle, so that our coalition army has suffered a lot, I heard the military report from the front line that if General Meng is replaced by Wang Ji, the soldiers of our coalition army can lose at least 10,000 yuan, which shows that the general is really a member of the tiger general." β
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
"The mind of the king is as broad as the sea, and he is ashamed!" Meng Fu was embarrassed, but he didn't care about Wei Zheng, and he didn't feel angry because he took the blood of the guards in his hands, which made him respect him by three points.
"The widow loves the talent, so he did not hesitate to take the Qin State of a tiger general, ashamed of the widow's talent, the widow's mind is not what the general said, on the contrary, the widow is narrow-minded, and wants to see the world to the talent under my command."
"King Wei laughed......"
"Come, the general will drink this lord with me!" Wei Zheng laughed and said with the bottle in his hand. Meng Fu also hurriedly invited the bottle to salute, and the wine poured into his throat, Wei Zheng's face suddenly became a little ruddy, and then he said again: "Although the widow sincerely invites the general to enter the Wei Zuo Kingdom, he does not hesitate to take it from the hands of the King of Qin. However, the king is relieved, whether to go or stay is all up to General Meng's arbitrary decision, the widow will never be strong, whether he goes to the Qi country, the Zhao country, or the Yan country, even if the general misses the Qin country and wants to enter the Western Qin, the widow will never stop the slightest bit, and the king has no jokes! β
Wei Zheng said it very firmly, and Meng Wei also believed it very much, but ......
At this moment, Meng Fu had to smile bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: King Wei, you are a corporal of courtesy, treat me so kindly, if I leave, I am afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at me for being arrogant and arrogant. Even if I am blinded by the disdainful gaze of the world, but I do not have the courage to brush my sleeves away, as the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention that you treat me like a countryman? I have been deceived and only a national soldier has repaid it.
"King Wei's high righteous order is ......embarrassed," Meng Fu replied with his hand, and immediately got up and bowed to Wei Zheng, "I am not talented in Xia, I am afraid that I will lose the king's grace, but Meng Wei is willing to serve the king with his life." β
At the end, Meng Fu flicked his sleeve robe and knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister, Meng Fu, meet my king!" β
Wei Zheng hurriedly got up and walked over and personally helped him up, dragging a long voice and saying happily: "General...... No need to be polite~~! As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Internal History Order, Xuan Zhao-"
With a look of surprise, Meng Fu saw that Nei Shi Ling came with an edict, "Meng Fu received the edict-"
Wei Zheng returned to his seat and looked at Meng Fu with a smile on one knee and gave up his hand.
"Qing entered the king of Weizuo, I was very happy to hear it, and I was specially promoted to the captain of the school, and he was promoted to ten levels in a row, and he was knighted to the pillar of the country; Sixty servants, a thousand gold, and ten thousand horses of cloth! β
"Minister, thank my king!!"
Meng Fu kowtowed to thank him, got up again and took the edict, at this moment his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, unexpected surprises came one after another in a short period of time, he did not expect that just face the king to be loyal to the order to be worshiped as the captain general, this is not a false position, the position of the captain is a military general with real power, can be in charge of 30,000 soldiers.
Jue to the national pillar, the national pillar of the country, the pillar of the country.
This made him realize that Wei Zheng was sincere, honest with each other, and truly regarded himself as the pillar of the country.
Wei Zheng knew that from this moment on, he had not only recovered his people, but also recovered his heart, not only got a tiger general, but also removed one or even several pillars from the building of the Qin State, which was equivalent to weakening the Qin State again, weakening the other and strengthening himself, and the mood could be described as hearty.
