Chapter 185: Nothing Happens
"General, since you're not here for love, why bother?! Although Rui Mei is a princess, to put it bluntly, where is not a little woman. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" looked at Wu Ming in a daze, Rui Mei said slowly, "Since the general is ruthless in his heart, the little woman also has others in her heart." Father Jun is like this, just wants the general to be loyal to the Wei State. What the general did was nothing more than to reassure his father. But what about the little girl......"
With that, the voice slowly dissipated.
A gust of wind blew and lifted the strand of hair around Ruimei's ear. She smiled blankly, "Hehe, the little woman can see these things clearly, doesn't the general really understand?" β
"Wu Ming, I already know it......"
β¦β¦
That night, it was already very late when Wu Ming returned to the mansion.
But just as he was about to enter the bedroom to rest, he suddenly heard the sound of someone using weapons in the backyard.
Walking along the bluestone ground, Wu Ming saw through the dim moonlight. What I saw was that the son who had been in tears like rain, but was still holding on.
After watching quietly for a while, Wu Ming left silently.
It was early the next morning.
When the pilgrimage meeting had just begun. The ministers were already shouting in the hall, "Hustle, the envoy of the State of Chu is here." β
As the voice slowly dissipated. The hall began to think of the loud footsteps of the envoy of the State of Chu. The figure looked haughty.
"Foreign Minister Jin Shang has seen Wei Hou."
The voice revealed arrogance, indescribable arrogance. As the strongest country today, the envoy of the Chu State, maybe he can do the same in the court of any country.
It's just today.
Wei Hou. A foreign minister called the king of Wei Hui, who had already called the king, Wei Hou? This kind of stiff face slapping method, such an obvious face slapping scene, all the courtiers present at the moment of washing were all angry.
Many courtiers have begun to point fingers at Jin Shang, but no one dares to stand up and accuse.
After the ceremony, without waiting for King Wei Hui to say anything, Jin Shang had already stood up straight and looked at King Wei Hui.
"Bold." With a loud shout, he stood up with wide eyes, "The foreign envoy is so unreasonable and despises the majesty of my king. β
The ministers of Wei were terrified. But Jin Shang didn't look back, and there was a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Wu Ming on the side just stood quietly, not saying anything, not doing anything, not even the slightest fluctuation.
Perhaps it was a mistake to choose Wei. But since he chose to stay, he wouldn't leave easily.
It's just that this court matter, whether he understands it or not, will not be involved too much. Provided, of course, that it doesn't involve what he cares about.
Jun ordered that it is okay to lead troops to fight. However, he will not be too involved in the dispute above the court.
And Jin Shang said so at this time, strictly speaking, there is not much of a problem. Wei Poppy is king, but no major power recognizes it. Because of this, Wei Poppy has been fighting in the east and west for more than ten years.
The state of Chu was the first to claim the title of king and king of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the division of the three families, none of the Central Plains countries can compete with the national strength of the Chu State. Therefore, the king of Chu did not recognize the throne of Wei, so it is reasonable for Jin Shang to say this from the perspective of the Chu people.
"Wei Hou is angry." Ignoring Chen Zhen, Jin Shang bowed his hand again to King Wei Hui, "Wei Hou is the king, let's not talk about you Zhou Tianzi, even the Song Kingdom has never agreed, respect Wei as the king." Therefore, the foreign minister is not unreasonable. β
Naked provocation. Moreover, he despised the authority of King Wei Hui in front of all the courtiers of Wei in the court of Wei. And it's so direct.
On the main throne, King Wei Hui's face was already pale. However, at this time, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart, and just asked coldly: "The foreign envoy is here, I don't know what is going on?" β
"Without it." Slightly arching his hand, Jin Shang was not afraid in the face of this Wei court, and said word by word: "My king has agreed with Duke Wei." From today on, the country is willing to respect my Chu country as the king. The foreign minister came here, just to talk to Wei Hou, and the matter of defending the country will not be done by Wei Hou in the future. β
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of silence in the entire court.
Then, King Wei Hui slapped the cases in front of him with one hand, and pointed at Jin Shang with the other hand, and immediately shouted, "Presumptuous, Wei Guo is a vassal state under the command of this king, and your Chu State should not deceive people too much." β
Beneath that distorted countenance was unspeakable anger.
Above the entire court, it was inevitable that there would be silence again. No one spoke, maybe they didn't know what to say, but maybe they didn't dare to say it.
But the silence was only for a moment, and after a while, Jin Shang clapped his hands with a smile.
As the hall sounded, there were two crisp sounds. Two attendants slowly walked in from the outside carrying a large box.
Looking at the struggling appearance of the two eight-foot men, the contents of this box are definitely not light.
"Hehe," Jin Shang waved his hand, motioned to the two entourages to open the box, and then smiled at King Wei Hui and said, "My king also knows that Wei Hou's care for Duke Wei in recent years has broken his heart. No, I specially asked the foreign minister to bring something here. In addition, there is also a letter of alliance repaired by Chu and Wei. β
As he spoke, Jin Shang had already presented the letter of alliance. But at this time, Jin Shang's words and deeds still revealed the arrogance of an upper-class power.
It seems that this covenant will definitely be signed by King Wei Hui. The subordination of the country, he will also give it.
But just when the ministers presented the letter of alliance to King Wei Hui. He didn't even look at it, and immediately threw the letter of alliance at Jin Shang's feet.
"It's really a great shame, a great shame...... "King Wei Hui trembled, and the tone in his mouth had unconsciously changed sharply, "You Chu State monarchs, don't bully people too much-"
"Wei Hou is so angry, but is it because there is less gold? If Wei Hou really lacked gold, there were some in the foreign minister's house, which could be given to Wei Hou. Jin Shang was still unhurried and sneered.
"Come on, blast out this box and this villain who doesn't know the height of the skyβ"
At this moment, King Wei Hui was completely angry. As a king, he can consider not fighting with Chu for the sake of Wei.
However, a person, even the best person, is angry. At this moment, Jin Shang had already touched the bottom line of King Wei Hui's heart. If it was ten years ago, I was afraid that it would not be impossible to kill this Jin Shang directly.
The four soldiers who heard the sound rushed into the hall at great speed, lifted the box, and strode towards the outside of the hall with Jin Shang.
But from the moment Jin Shang saw King Wei Hui's anger, Jin Shang's whole person had already begun to laugh wildly. It was a contemptuous voice.
"Retreat from the dynasty......" King Wei Hui, who was full of anger, shouted angrily and walked away.
β¦β¦
In the back garden of the palace in the afternoon.
King Wei Hui, Wu Ming, and Chen Zhen gathered together again.
"This Jin Shang, as well as the King of Chu. It's really too deceitfulβ" King Wei Hui still had a look of resentment on his face.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Zhen raised his head cautiously, with a cautious look: "This Chu State has indeed gone too far. But don't get angry, you are in a hurry. β
"The widow is just angry with his Jin Shang's face. If this person had spoken tactfully, the widow might have really signed that covenant. But look at the way he looksβ"
"The Chu people have always been arrogant and unreasonable. and the Qin people in the mountains and fields are all incomplete people. How can it be compared with my Wei State? The king is fooled by the body. β
After a few conversations, King Wei Hui's anger really went down a lot.
About half an hour later, King Wei Hui, stroked his handful of white beard, and said in one breath: "What Aiqing said is true." The matter has come to this point, the two Aiqing may wish to talk about what to do next. Wu Aiqing, in the past few days, you have not spoken. What do you think, let's talk about it. β
"A general. Leading troops to fight is considered acceptable, and the affairs of the court, especially the affairs of the countries, the ministers dare not speak falsely. β
β¦β¦
Gently cold Xiangguo Fuzhong.
Gongsun Yan and Hui Shi sat across a chessboard carved from a boulder.
After stretching out his hand to put down a chess piece, Gongsun Yan said lightly: "I heard that the general and the doctor were summoned into the palace by the king again. Have you ever heard of this? β
"I've heard of it." Hui Shi also put down a son and slowly replied.
"Then, adults don't want to, will there be any changes in this?"
As soon as these words came out, Hui Shi's body stiffened at first.
Outside the window, a strong gust of wind blew off the leaves of the trees that were reluctant to leave the body. Reflects a kind of desolation.
It seems that Hui Shi is unwilling to leave the Wei State. But since he opposed Wu Ming's massive expansion of the army at the beginning, he was wrong.
It's a wrong step. Things got to this dayβ
Shaking his head helplessly, a desolate smile appeared on the corner of Hui Shi's mouth, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Hui Shi is just a fallen leaf that is almost yellow." Huh-"
β¦β¦
In the court.
Chen Zhen looked at King Wei Hui, who had finally been calmed down by himself. cautiously said his opinion: "Your Majesty, the power of the Chu State today can be said to be the strongest among the countries, so the minister thinks that it is not easy to fight with the Chu State at the moment, and the current situation should be based on recuperation." β
"What Aiqing said, the widow also understands. If it weren't for Jin Shang's face today, the widow would have really fulfilled this covenant. In this way, I Wei Guodong Anqi, North Anzhao. The state of Chu in the south settled down again. South Korea simply does not have the strength to challenge our Wei State any longer. In this way, I can concentrate on dealing with the Qin State. This matter between the nations is understood by all the people, butβ"
When the words reached this point, King Wei Hui couldn't speak anymore. But Wu Ming and Chen Zhen also knew what he wanted to express.
So hesitant. It's just that I can't swallow this bad breath. But looking at the development of the Wei State, which point of defeat in these years has nothing to do with the mood of King Wei Hui.
Sometimes, you understand the truth of lying on the side, but not everyone will do it. This may be another reason for the constant strife among the nations.
At this moment, Chen Zhen once again arched his hand and comforted: "Your Majesty, take this step back, and I can also get the overall situation." β
That voice echoed in King Wei Hui's ears for a long time and could not be dissipated.
Time passed silently. After a period of silence, King Wei Hui still couldn't say a concrete result after all.
"It's better to tolerate the widow, think again......"
Even if you have suffered a loss, even if you know that you can't be strong at this time. But some people just forget the pain when the scar is healed, and they can forget the pain again and again.
That night, King Wei Hui, accompanied by his ministers, left the palace in a chariot and horse of an ordinary rich and noble family, and went straight to the general's mansion.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he faintly heard the sound of martial arts training coming from the backyard. King Wei Hui, who originally thought that Wu Ming was practicing martial arts, walked over quietly.
But it wasn't until he entered the door of the courtyard that King Wei Hui found out that the person was Gongzi.
After a while, Wu Ming had already received a notice from the servant and hurried over.
"Weichen, I've seen the king." Standing on the side, Wu Ming bowed and arched.
This remark not only alarmed King Wei Hui, but also alarmed Gongzi Wei, who was practicing martial arts with his only son inside.
Gongzi Wei, who was already sweating profusely, also walked over slowly at this time, knelt down in front of King Wei Hui and said, "Wei'er greets the monarch's father." β
Although he was extremely tired at this time, his expression and approach were full of respect.
"It's good to know that the widow is your father-" From his father's point of view, King Wei Hui glanced at Gongzi helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, he turned to Wu Ming and said: "Aiqing can educate this son without remembering his previous suspicions, but it is really a blessing for this rebel, Aiqing doesn't have to have any scruples about him, teach him how to be a man." β
"The gentleman said seriously, this time the work did not bring any trouble to Weichen, these are just self-taught by the son. It has nothing to do with Wechen,"
From the first day he came to this mansion, Wu Ming hadn't spoken much to Gongzi, let alone taught him anything. So Wu Ming has always told the truth and went straight.
But just after Wu Ming finished speaking, Gongzi Wei immediately said: "What the general taught, the son will never forget, please rest assured that the son will definitely learn from the general wholeheartedly." β
A touch of moonlight illuminated the resolute expression of Childe.
King Wei Hui only glanced at it lightly, and then turned to Wu Ming and said, "That's it, tonight I was looking for Aiqing to have something to discuss, but I mistook this rebel for Aiqing." β
Hearing this, Wu Ming stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please." β
In the fiery red room set off by the candle flames, King Wei Hui and Wu Ming sat across several cases.
However, when he opened his mouth, the words that originally came to his mouth were taken back, and he changed his words: "I don't know if Aiqing and Ruimei have been chatting happily recently?" β
"Thank you for your concern, Princess Ruimei is versatile and beautiful like a flower. I'm afraid that the minister is not worthy of the princess. β
"Haha, what is Aiqing talking about. If you like it, why not get it? After an embarrassed laugh, King Wei Hui's heart was also a little bottom, at least Wu Ming didn't refuse directly, "Don't hide it from Aiqing, for this matter, the widow also thought about it for a long time before taking the idea." Since Aiqing also thinks it is appropriate, the two of you will talk more when you have time, the widow has already joined the guards of the Jing Palace, if Aiqing goes, it can be his own home. β
"Weichen, thank you for your love."
"Aiqing doesn't need to be so polite." Looking at Wu Ming with a smile, King Wei Hui said a little helplessly: "But the current matter of Chu State is in a dilemma. I'm not afraid of Aiqing's blame, but in my heart, I really can't bear it! β
