Chapter 193: Treacherous
On the castle tower of the Emperor Hill. Wei Chenggong, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", was watching the torch area lit by the two prime ministers' teams under the night sky under Yaoyao. Looking at the kings of the two countries who were unscrupulous in their own land, Wei Chenggong's teeth were already clucking.
A short time later, a carriage kicked up a slight cloud of dust and came into his sight.
As the carriage moved from far to near, Wei Chenggong felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat. Not because of fear of anything, but because of anger and anger.
This made his whole breathing heavy.
got out of the carriage, but Wang Mao smiled bitterly. If he could, he would want to flee the kingdom of Defense.
Enter the city gate and ascend the tower.
Wei Chenggong and the other four courtiers had already gathered at the top of the staircase.
"But I can ask clearly, what is the purpose of King Wei's coming? What about King Qi? What are they doing again? Before Wang Mao could pause, Wei Chenggong had already questioned loudly.
Seeing this situation, Wang Mao trembled slightly, and the look on his face was indescribably helpless: "King Wei said that he came here just to invite King Qi to enjoy tea and flowers together, and also asked Weichen to inform the monarch and invite the monarch to participate."
King Wei also said that he didn't see the king go to greet him in person, so he asked the ministers to greet the king's body, whether he didn't go out to greet him because he was unwell.
The road was bumpy, and the minister was unwell, and I hope that the king will forgive me. Retire! ”
When the words fell, Wang Mao didn't care about what Wei Chenggong felt in his heart. He had already turned around and walked down the castle tower in disappointment.
Bumpy road! But it's only a short journey of time, and no matter how bumpy it is, where can it be bumpy?
This king clearly just doesn't want to wade into this troubled water anymore. But then again, who wants to wade into this troubled water?
Just now, people went to investigate the intention of King Wei to come, and no one except Wang Mao went.
Now the intention of King Wei to come is asked.
Invite the king of Qi to come here to enjoy the flowers and tea. No matter how you hear that, it's true.
The flower beds in the palace of the Great Liang Dynasty are also famous. There is no garden in the country, not to mention, even a good place to play can't be found, just such a big place.
There are already a lot of grain producing areas, and the grasslands and woods outside the city of Diqiu are rare in today's patriotic country.
Talking about cherry blossom appreciation, this is obviously a deception.
But even if you know it's a lie, what can you do? You can't just refuse with a big wave, in that case, it's too much. Even with the help of Chu State in the back, Wei Chenggong would not dare to play a big card directly in front of the two kings of Qi and Wei.
However, making up a reason to excuse it, in Wei Chenggong's opinion, it is still okay.
……
In the Xianyang Palace at this time.
Qin Xiaocheng and Shang Ying sat opposite each other on both sides of the same case.
The vast hall is only two monarchs and ministers. The candlelight lingers, and the entire hall is lit up. Déjà vu in everything.
"The day before yesterday, Aiqing didn't speak, I don't know what Aiqing thinks of this matter?" Sit upright. Qin Xiaogong's face looked a little worried.
"What the king said was about the king of Chu forming an alliance with the weak guard?"
"Exactly."
He glanced up at Qin Xiaogong's eager gaze. At this moment, Shang Ying smiled mysteriously, "The minister dares to ask, what does the king think of this matter?" ”
"This ...... The widow really couldn't understand why the king of Chu wanted to form an alliance with the weak guards! Moreover, it is clear that the nations, the weak guards must respond to war, and send troops to help the defense.
In the past two days, the widow has been thinking, you say, will the king of Chu want to use this to lower Wei Gong's wariness of Chu State, so as to easily control Wei Guo and swallow Wei Guo under the noses of the surrounding powers. ”
With the strength of the weak guard. If the Chu State is reinforced, it will definitely not make the Chu State army too hard. If the army of Chu is allowed to repair in its own cities, it is tantamount to handing over its own security to Chu.
At the same time, he also gave his own barriers to the other party. It is not impossible that the army of Chu can complete the control of the weak guards in a very short time.
At present, Wei Chenggong is extremely wary of the Chu State, and it is very likely that he will open the city gate and welcome the Chu army into his own barrier.
Therefore, what Qin Xiaogong said at this time is not impossible, and it is not unlikely.
However, after hearing this, Shang Ying only smiled faintly, "The minister thinks that the king can Chen Bing Wei Realm." It doesn't matter if the state of Chu swallows the country, or if the state is supported by the state of Chu. This has no benefit to my Qin State. ”
The voice that is not big, not small, not hurried, and neither humble nor arrogant slowly spreads.
The moment he put all the words in his ears, Qin Xiaogong woke up like a dream. The whole person was instantly refreshed. The thoughts and worries on his face dissipated in an instant.
Oh, yes! Whether it's Chu or Weiguo. How do these two countries do, the state of Chu swallows the state of Wei, and it is the state of Chu that is strong.
Even if Wei Guo can do something against the sky, it would be good to swallow Chu State. But what do these two have to do with the Qin State?
Shang Ying, this guy who is full of interests and law.
But Qin Xiaogong just likes him. Always be able to get straight to the point in any fluctuation. Instead of talking about the affairs of the nations like other courtiers, and finally talking about it is a headache, and it doesn't make any sense.
"What Aiqing said is extreme, extremely true-" After a short hesitation, Qin Xiaogong instantly became excited, like a scavenger who had picked up a treasure.
Those two deep eyes showed a bright light at this moment.
"Why didn't the widow think of it!" After being excited for a long time, Qin Xiaogong slapped his head violently, and said as if blaming himself: "Wei Guo is a subsidiary of Wei State, and this incident will definitely cause Wei State to be dissatisfied." Ha ha...... Hahaha......"
At the end of the day, all that was left was a cheerful laugh.
"Moreover, the minister heard that when Han Zhao attacked Wei before, the king of Wei wanted to let Wei Gong send troops to help. But somehow, Wei Gong never sent troops. Because of this, King Wei was still very annoyed. Come to think of it, after King Wei thinks about this matter again, his prejudice against Wei Gong will not be less. ”
"If it's really as Aiqing said, then it's really God help me Qin State, God help me Qin State-"
Another excited word blurted out without thinking, and Qin Xiaogong even stood up excitedly.
Historically, the duel between Qin and Wei and Hexi lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, Hexi changed hands several times, but a small part was always occupied by Wei.
When Qin Xiaogong was young. Xianjun personally led an army to fight Wu Qi in Hexi. Later, because of overwork, he died in the military camp in Hexi.
At that time, the young Qin Xiaogong secretly swore that he would recapture Hexi in his lifetime, and he had this evil breath for the first army.
As for the destruction of the Wei State, he didn't think about it for a moment. In addition to revenge, the most important thing is that Wei is the first major obstacle for Qin to go east, so with the help of Shang Yang over the years, Qin Xiaogong has vigorously strengthened Qin State. The other is to find ways to weaken the power of Wei.
To this day, it can be said that his efforts have given him hope. At least the strength of Wei is not as good as before.
But at this time, I don't know where a Wu Ming came out. Although we have not yet seen how talented this person is, at least he is no worse than the famous generals of the nations today in terms of commanding troops. Otherwise, it would have been all taken back by now.
Qin Xiaogong, who was still worried about when to send troops to Hexi, didn't want to see hope today.
Thinking that he almost missed this great opportunity, Qin Xiaogong immediately asked people to present delicious food and wine.
"Aiqing is dedicated to my Qin country, and her hard work is high, and the widow has nothing to repay. Today's widow respects Aiqing again, if it weren't for Aiqing, this opportunity, the widow would have lost! Saying that, Qin Xiaogong had already raised his wine and drank it all.
Shang Ying also followed suit. As a monarch and minister for many years, in the past ten years, the cooperation between the monarchs and ministers of all countries is not as good as the cooperation between Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying.
So there is no need for Shang Ying to be pretentious at this time.
However, as far as Shang Ying's talent is concerned, he naturally knows some of the truths behind it. After drinking the wine, Shang Ying immediately bowed his head and bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "The king has all the opportunities, and occasional mistakes are inevitable. Otherwise, how can we stand on our courtiers? Even if the minister doesn't say anything about today's affairs, if he fights Wei Chu in the future, the king will definitely be aware of it. ”
After these words came out. The two looked at each other again. Then the two laughed merrily.
"Hahahaha...... Haha......"
This martingale, being an official, can be regarded as the extreme. As it will be said later, the leader is always right. Even if it's wrong, a smart clerk can say it's right.
And this Shang Ying, it can be said that he and Qin Xiaogong are a classic cooperation created in the era. Without the two of them, no one would have today's Qin State.
Under this relationship, even if Shang Ying put the credit on himself, Qin Xiaogong would not say anything. But he still put the credit on Qin Xiaogong.
As the saying goes, the real great talent does not need to find ways to add credit to himself. Someone will have something to give him credit.
This night, the two of them were drunk and rested.
……
The other side.
The two sides of the prime minister have gradually entered the topic.
I only heard King Qi Wei smile at King Wei Hui and asked: "Dare to ask King Wei, why is this Duke Wei not here today, and I don't see the courtiers of Wei Guo here, but what other ideas does Duke Wei have?" ”
As soon as these words came out, King Wei Hui was a little depressed, he didn't know what this Duke Wei was doing, as originally said, Wei gave up his protection to Wei Guo, and Qi Guo took over this.
As for how King Qi Wei subdued Wei Guo, this King Wei Hui had not thought about this originally, after all, it was a small problem to subdue Wei Gong with the national strength of Qi State.
But now that people have asked, and Wei Chenggong, as the landlord, should appear here. But Wei Chenggong didn't come out, and the specific reason was that he was targeted by the envoy of Chu State.
As the initiator of Xiangwang, King Wei Hui naturally couldn't ignore this problem. I had to suppress the anger towards Wei Chenggong in my heart, and said with a smile: "Wei Gong has been feeling unwell recently, Wei Pop will arrange for a doctor to go for diagnosis and treatment, and when Wei Gong's condition improves, he will definitely not be absent." ”
After the words fell, King Wei Hui turned his gaze to Chen Zhen on the left, "Chen Aiqing, the doctors have all been arranged, if it is better, go to treat Gong Wei as soon as possible." ”
Wei Chenggong is not sick. Where did the doctor come from to diagnose and treat? These words undoubtedly asked Chen Zhen to go to the Wei Palace to see the situation.
Chen Zhen naturally understood the meaning of King Wei Hui's words. I saw that he bowed his hand to the monarchs and ministers present one by one, and left after saying that he was not accompanied.
At the same time, King Qi Wei pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh! Wei Gong's illness is really not the right time! In this way, I am afraid that the alliance will also be delayed. There are some things, if you can't explain them clearly to Wei Gong in person, I'm afraid that there will be unnecessary mistakes in the future. If Duke Wei thinks that my Qi country is the enemy who is coming, and then asks for help from Wei, wouldn't you and I Qi and Wei make a joke in the kingdom of heaven. ”
This is undoubtedly what he is saying. If he didn't get Wei Chenggong's approval, he Tian Yinqi would not have released Wei Shen, the crown prince of Wei.
And this matter is the first step of this alliance, if King Wei can't do the first step. Then the second step of the phase king. The third step of the covenant is to become an empty talk.
This is obviously putting pressure on King Wei Hui. But this matter was provoked by Wei, if it is really dispersed like this, will Wei be able to gain a foothold among the nations in the future? Where is the WeChat of the big country in the Central Plains?
When he heard this, King Wei Hui's face was faintly gloomy. Being able to make concessions is already something that has broken his bottom line. Although there is no great ability in this life.
But really speaking, he Wei Poppy didn't give in. Now that I think about it, the strength I am holding on to can't really hide the emptiness inside and outside. That's why I picked up and learned to give in.
But that doesn't mean that he will let people step on his face at will.
What no one was resting was that just as King Qi Wei was speaking, Wu Ming quietly said something to a soldier behind him.
Then the soldier turned around and trotted towards the rear of the barracks.
At this time, King Wei Hui was still patient. In the face of King Qi Wei's compelling posture, he could only laugh.
Looking at King Wei Hui's embarrassment, Wu Ming arched his hand again, and said respectfully to King Qi: "King Qi is really worried about this. Qi and Wei were so warm, they thought that Wei Gong would not delay too long due to illness, and as long as his illness improved, he would definitely go out of the city to see each other. This alliance was initiated by our Wei State, so naturally it cannot become a joke in the world. Tonight, the moonlight is beautiful, accompanied by the breeze and the current. You might as well drink to the moon and enjoy a song and dance. Isn't that wonderful? My king has specially prepared for this, and I don't know what King Qi wants. ”
"Yes, yes, yes-" King Wei Hui also hurriedly said, "I don't know if King Qi has Yaxing?" ”
But in fact, King Wei Hui was wondering in his heart. Where did he prepare some music and dance music? Here, I just want to take back the crown prince Wei Shen as soon as possible and sign an alliance with the Qi State as soon as possible.
After hearing it for the first time, King Qi Wei first looked at Wu Ming, smiled blankly, and asked lightly: "Presumably this is the general Wu of the Mingguan countries?" If you are really a young talent, please accept Tian Yinqi's gift. ”
When the words fell, King Qi Wei gave up his hand and bowed deeply to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming immediately returned the salute: "Why did the foreign minister bear such a big gift, the king of Qi is wrong to love." ”
"Hehe, the general doesn't need to be polite," the king of Qi after the ceremony was still smiling happily and naturally, "This king loves to have a heart, and all the great talents in the world must bow when they see it for the first time." ”
