Chapter Seventy-Five: Wei Hou lost his temper
Rui Envoy recognized Ji Yuchen's head, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. But he quickly restrained it again, and pretended to be calm and said: "Marquis Jin, you dare to commit a crime, it is really a great rebellion!" ”
"What did the Marquis of Jin do 'on'?" Ji Yijiu spoke, "The widow in front of you now is the only 'Shang' in the world. The Marquis of Jin not only did not commit the widow, but also cleared the rebellious ministers and thieves for the widow! ”
"You ......" Rui Envoy didn't expect that the Marquis of Jin would dare to kill a Son of Heaven, and he was a little helpless, "At Uncle Zheng's wedding banquet, everyone has obviously discussed it, and the Zhuji Conference is the way for the Son of Heaven to take the throne." How can you go back on your word? ”
"Hmph, what if you can't open the Zhuji Conference?" Shenhou sneered, "Except for the only son of the first king, who else do you plan to serve as the Son of Heaven?" ”
This sentence really poked at Rui's weakness. Ji Yuchen, the son of heaven who took advantage of the chaos, only barely maintained his influence due to the need for wrestling with all parties. Once he died, in this era of paying attention to fame and etiquette everywhere, there was no one who could put forward a candidate to compete with Ji Yijiu. At least on the issue of the Son of Heaven, the Zhuji Conference is destined to be just a formality.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Rui Envoy can't help but be cautious. He can confront the Marquis of Jin, but it is not suitable to confront Ji Yijiu, so he saw that the wind made the rudder change his title: "Your Majesty, Rui Bo has always advocated inheritance according to the law of etiquette, and he definitely has no intention of offending you." It's just that this Marquis of Jin acted too much and rampaged in the realm of Rui. It's tolerable, it's unbearable! Since the king is on the throne, he should administer justice. ”
Ji Yijiu saw that Rui Envoy was still aware of current affairs, so he softened his attitude: "Rui Bo's heart is understood by few people. It's just that the Marquis of Jin did this, or for the sake of the overall situation, not for you, and I hope that Rui Guo will understand. When he talks about meritorious deeds and rewards, the widow will not forget Ruibo. ”
The Marquis of Jin took advantage of the situation and got off the donkey, and then apologized and said: "Please tell Rui Bo that the widow knows that he is guilty of the crime, and sincerely apologizes to him." Please ask him to focus on the overall situation for the time being, and quickly persuade Wei Hou to come and meet the Son of Heaven. ”
Rui Envoy touched a soft nail, and there was no better way for a while, so he played a round and prepared to withdraw: "The minister will go back and tell you." It is hoped that the Marquis of Jin will take the friendship of his brothers and princes as the most important thing and withdraw as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, the Marquis of Jin, the Marquis of Shen, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They have been busy all night, so they dare to rest. However, Rui Envoy went away, but there was no news. Until the next morning, the dugs had arrived, and they still did not hear back.
As soon as they met, the Marquis of Jin couldn't help but worship Zheng Bolai from the bottom of his heart: "You are really Jiang Ziya's reincarnation!" To be honest, although the widow chooses to trust you, he has no bottom in his heart about this dangerous trick you made. So from the moment we came ashore, we kept our strings on our feet, ready to retreat at any time. As a result, when I went to Ruicheng, the Wei Hou you predicted was caught off guard, Ji Yuchen was captured, and the Holy Sixth Division returned to Ho Jing, all of which came true, so that the widow really didn't know what language to use to praise you. ”
"The key is the courage of the Marquis of Jin." Dutu said modestly, "The flood drifting is full of dangers, I am afraid that you are the first person in the past!" ”
"Without your serial boat and penny support, it won't work to be bold."
"Haha, let's stop lifting each other up, let's talk about how the situation is now." Dig to bring the conversation back to the right track.
Shenhou said happily: "We have corrected Ji Yuchen, a traitor, on the spot, and are waiting for Wei Hou and Rui Bo to ask for guilt!" ”
"What?" Digging could barely believe his ears, "You're going to kill someone?" Don't you find fault with each other? ”
"It's okay." The Marquis of Jin felt that the digging reaction was too radical, "According to the widow, it is quite horizontal not to kill Ji Yuchen's Narui envoy, but if he kills, he will be cowardly, and he will honestly go back to his life." Besides, Ji Yuchen was already in a bad position, and you and I both supported the current king, and it was justified to kill him early. ”
"Rui Bo will be cowardly, but Wei Hou will not be cowardly!" The digging is in a hurry.
With Zheng Bo's prestige as a god now, the Marquis of Jin had to pay attention to his judgment, but he was still a little unconvinced. He snorted: "As soon as Ji Yuchen dies, the position of the king will be irreplaceable. If Wei Hou still drills the tip of the bull's horns, he will not be happy with the Son of Heaven, and he will be the enemy of the whole world. ”
"So what? Don't forget that he is now the 'Holy Zhou Zhao' on an equal footing with Zhou Tianzi. Dutu shook his head, remembering the record of the Marquis of Jin killing the king in ancient history, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that God is destined for you Marquis Jin to kill Ji Yuchen." ”
Where did the Marquis of Jin know this fatalistic allusion, and he was a little confused when he heard this. Du Tu smiled and comforted everyone: "Kill it, kill it." The widow just thinks that Wei Hou will not give up and will definitely ask the teacher to ask for guilt. Fortunately, the Holy Sixth Division will arrive the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and we only need to guard against Rui Jun for the time being. As soon as Ji Jiang's convoy arrives tomorrow, everyone will immediately retreat east along the Yellow River. ”
The fears of digging are not unfounded. What Ji Yuchen's death means, Wei Hou knows better than anyone else.
When King Qin's great cause was first established, Wei Hou's strength reached its peak. From the perspective of hard power, he has two armies, the Holy Sixth Division and the Guard Division, which are unmatched in the world. From the perspective of soft power, relying on the method of provoking the Son of Heaven to compete for the throne, the power of Sheng Zhouzhao is unique in the world, and no one can check and balance. It's a pity that the prosperity is extremely declining, and the old man who got a little carried away tried to eat Uncle Zheng in one bite, but he stumbled. After the defeat of the Five Nations Alliance, his hard power was not much stronger than Zheng Shi. Therefore, Wei Hou turned to use soft power to suppress the digging at the peace conference, and delusionally wanted to defend the country for generations to monopolize the position of Zhou Zhao.
Now, with the death of the king and the confluence of Shen and Zheng, Wei Hou suddenly lost control of Zhou Tianzi. Everyone can see that if he doesn't struggle anymore, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his position as Zhou Zhao.
So, Wei Hou fought this old bone and strongly persuaded Rui Bo to attack the Jin army: "Rui Bo, Rui Bo, these thieves even dare to kill the Son of Heaven, why don't you do it?" ”
Out of the same consideration as Rui Envoy, Rui Bo didn't dare to tear his face with the only remaining emperor: "According to the widow's opinion, it is better to ask the king to come forward to administer justice first." ”
"So quickly changed his name to the king? Rui Bo, do you still want to be shameless? Are you really going to let them sit on your neck to and pee, and you still scold and fight back? Wei Hou threw out all the vulgar words he could say in his life, and he didn't want the image of an aristocrat at all.
"You're confused, aren't you?" Rui Bo was shocked by Wei Hou's gaffe, where did he understand the anxiety in people's hearts.
"The widow is not confused, it is you who are dizzy......"
Rui Bo saw that the old man was crazy, and he didn't want to deal with it anymore. He saw that Wei Hou's old life was afraid that he was going to carry it, so he hurriedly ordered: "Come on, Wei Hou is unwell, hurry back to the post house." ”
Poor Wei Hou, scolding all the way, coughed so much that he was about to break his breath when he arrived at the post house. Seeing this, Wei Neizai hurriedly poured tea and water, stroked his palms and patted his back, and then pulled him back from the ghost gate.
"Your Majesty, why bother playing with them? Let's get out. ”
The old man glared at him fiercely, and directly diverted the topic and asked, "When will the Holy Sixth Master arrive?" ”
"The minister can't wait to urge three times a day. If you also learn from the Marquis of Jin and drift in danger, the vanguard should be about to arrive. ”
Wei Neizai's estimate was good, and at noon that day, on the edge of Weishui on the south side of Ruicheng, there were indeed soldiers landing. It's a pity that St. Sima hurriedly recruited the ship, and there was no guidance on the clever plan of the chain boat and the penny. As a result, the vanguard of these 1,000 men ventured down the river in loose boats of varying sizes, and more than half of them were broken.
Therefore, when this group of remnants of the defeated soldiers who had no combat effectiveness reported for duty, Wei Hou knew that the hope of the strange soldiers to take the Marquis of Jin by surprise was about to be frustrated, and he almost turned his back in anger.
However, the actual effect of this emergency measure has exceeded expectations. It turned out that almost at the same time that the Holy Sixth Division landed on the shore, the wreckage of a large number of damaged warships had drifted to the Jin army camp five miles to the east. The soldiers of the Jin army had just experienced the drift of life and death, and immediately realized what was going on, and quickly reported to the military tent.
This new situation came as no surprise to all. Marquis Jin muttered to himself, "This old fox can learn fast enough. ”
"Not really." Shenhou followed the trend and stepped on it, "It's an old treacherous and cunning." ”
After the two of them sang and cursed for a while, they found that they had been frowning and not speaking. Only then did the Marquis of Jin realize the seriousness of the problem: "Uncle Zheng, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Do you know what that means?" Digging Tu raised his head, paused for a while, and then said solemnly, "It means that the Holy Sixth Master will not wait for the day after tomorrow, but will arrive soon!" ”
The Marquis of Jin gasped: "The Holy Sixth Master is here, won't the widow become an egg hitting a stone?" ”
"Then get out of the way!" Shenhou was anxious.
"No way!" Di Tu immediately refused, "Ji Jiang hasn't come yet." ”
"When is it, you still think about your wife." Shenhou jumped to his feet, "If you lose your life, you will have nothing." ”
"That's your own daughter!" Digging Tu's eyes widened angrily, he couldn't imagine that Shenhou was so ruthless and unrighteous.
