Chapter 210: Hidden Clouds and Rain

Early the next morning, Wu Ming returned to Daliang with two entourages. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But in order to contain the Qin army, Sima Cuo was left behind in Hexi.

It was early in the morning of the third day. It is inevitable that there will be another celebration in the court of Wei State!

Although Hexi lost two more cities. But capturing the Qin general Sima Cuo alive was enough to make King Wei Hui excited. Of course, if Shang Ying could be captured alive, King Wei Hui should be awakened by laughter even when he was dreaming.

It was under the leadership of Shang Ying that the Qin State captured Hexi. How can King Wei Hui's hatred for Shang Ying be ordinary?

However, this matter only lasted for a while in the Wei court.

Then King Wei Hui announced two unexpected things.

From now on, Wei Shen will be the dynasty of Wei State, and King Wei Hui will abdicate and hear the testimony, as long as it is not too big, Wei Shen will be in charge of the court.

The other thing is to exempt Gongzi Wei from all responsibility, and make him command the 10,000 defenders of Daliang, practice all year round, and be responsible for the safety of Daliang City! Responsible for smoothing out internal discord.

On the other hand, in the words of King Wei Hui, he didn't want Sun Bin to surround Wei to save Zhao again, and he didn't want to continue to repeat the mistakes of the past.

These two incidents once caused quite a stir in the Wei State.

Wei Shen is in power! The king of Xiang.

This point made Wu Ming a little speechless! Historically, the king of Wei Xiang was named Wei Hei, and he ascended the throne in 318 BC.

People have changed, and the time is five years earlier. I don't know what Wei Si would think if he knew the original history?

But Wu Ming didn't bother to think about it so much. Judging from the memory of the owner of this body in his previous life, Wei Shen is a good son, knowledgeable and courteous, and very approachable.

Therefore, Wu Ming was not disgusted by Wei Shen's accession to the throne, but felt that he was much better than King Wei Hui.

After the two major events were announced, it was some rewards for Wu Ming.

It's just that this should have been something from the treasury, but it became something that Wu Ming brought back from Diqiu.

Although the defense of the country is weak, the wealth is not bad. If all these things are converted into gold, it will cost more than 2,000 gold!

One gold is basically enough for an ordinary person to eat and drink for a lifetime! Two thousand gold, put in ordinary people's homes, that is absolutely astronomical.

History is in the army, so much gold, enough to consume an army of 50,000 for three or five years. This is definitely an asset that should not be underestimated.

King Wei Hui directly waved his hand and rewarded Wu Ming with all of them, leaving nothing in the palace.

Because two major events have been announced in the court today, the rest of the things have been put on hold, and there are no courtiers to say anything. The early dynasty soon dispersed.

The next day, in the court. After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

Wu Ming took a step directly and said: "The king, the minister knows a businessman, named Ling Tianxue, quite talented, this time the king, the dancing girl of the Fengyue Tower, makes the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State also fascinated!" In terms of accumulating wealth, this person's means can be compared to Xiangguo Baigui back then. Therefore, the minister thought that he could be made an official. ”

In this era, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce were generally observed. After all, food is the foundation of a country, and many times, people are hungry.

Therefore, the land can only be state-owned. The position of the merchant has always been suppressed, otherwise, chaos is likely to arise.

And all countries abide by the same principle! Those who are officials are not allowed to do business.

Of course, there are exceptions to this! For example, Song Guo. In this small country, which has no diplomatic relations and does not have much territory, but regards itself very highly, the monarch takes advantage of the contradictions of interests between major countries to seek stability. It also encouraged the Chinese people to trade with the distant Western Qin.

The richest Dingtao in the Song Kingdom is because there are many merchants and it is the sect of business travel in the world, so the Song Kingdom is rich in the world. Let the nations covet.

But Wei is different. As a great power, the monarch considers the absoluteness of status and rule. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the will of the people. Food can be said to be the foundation of the people's will, so many places prohibit businessmen from touching it.

As soon as Wu Ming's words came out, he was undoubtedly challenging the international practice of valuing agriculture and suppressing business! Needless to say, as soon as the matter was raised, it was looked at by many courtiers. In their eyes, it is simply not feasible to let businessmen rise.

In the soft discussion of the ministers, Wei Shen coughed lightly, calmed down, and then replied casually: "Aiqing's words, the widow understands it, but this person is involved in business, and there has never been a businessman as an official in the court!" Therefore, this matter needs to be carefully considered. It's not too late to discuss it later. ”

The other courtiers hadn't said a word yet, but Wei Shen directly said it to death.

Having said that, Wu Ming naturally didn't want to continue to say anything. I had to give my hand and answer: "The minister respectfully obeys the king's orders." ”

"Hmmm! In this way, the widow should talk to Aiqing about another thing! After nodding slightly, Wei Shen stared at Wu Ming: "Listening to what the monarch's father said, Aiqing and her sister have a marriage contract, this matter is the monarch's father's heart, and the widow wants to share the worries of the monarch's father, so he went to the Jing Palace yesterday." My sister also appreciates the general. I have a good impression, why don't you choose an auspicious day for the widow, how about the marriage between Aiqing and her sister first? ”

When the words fell, Wei Shen leaned his whole body back, opened his mouth and yawned.

Hearing this, Wu Ming's heart was filled with a wry smile, King Wei Hui had urged this matter before, but for the two parties to this marriage, neither of them was very willing!

Princess Mei has someone else in her heart. And Wu Ming, influenced by the thoughts of later generations, he will not be able to live with any beauty at will!

In this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, if it is a woman from an ordinary family, it is just that, women will marry chickens and dogs, and most of them know how to take care of housework and be diligent.

But this time it's a princess! When it comes to the aristocracy, there will be something different. Where is the princess comparable to ordinary women.

Two people who are not tempted have different identities, and when they are combined, the result is naturally unhappy.

King Xiang welcomed back Wei Shen, this is also a matter of King Wei Hui's heart! Therefore, Wu Ming advocated Xiangwang in advance. On the one hand, it satisfies King Wei Hui's heart, and on the other hand, it can make him not always think about his marriage.

But now it's good. Wei Shenying is back. The first problem I faced was marriage.

Looking up at Wei Shen on the throne, I don't know what kind of good treatment this lord has received in the Qi country, not only is he not emaciated, but he also looks fatter.

But Wu Ming always felt that Wei Shen at this time was different from Wei Shen in his memory, his cultivation and demeanor, and even his human spirit were much worse.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Ming finally couldn't come up with any more reasons to shirk, so he could only give his hand again: "Minister, I am willing to obey the will of the king." ”

"That being said, the widow personally went to the Taimiao Temple in the afternoon to ask for a fortune, and chose an auspicious day to arrange the marriage for Aiqing and his sister."

"Minister, thank you for your love." Bowing again, Wu Ming thanked him. When the words fell, Wu Ming stepped back and entered the queue of ministers.

Wei Shen actually directly vetoed his proposal, which Wu Ming did not expect. At first, Wu Ming only thought that he needed to argue with some important ministers in the court. But now it seems that Wei Shen has become the biggest problem.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything important?" Xu is finalized the matter of Wu Ming and Princess Mei, and Wei Shen, who was in a happy mood, took a breath and asked casually.

The ministers all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Wu Mingben has some other things, but Wei Shen seems to be in a bad mood today, and these things are all related to the Wei court, and the ideological dispute is relatively large, so he is afraid that the possibility of rejection will be very great. So Wu Ming didn't say anything more.

"If there's nothing to do, that's the end of today's court meeting—"

"Retreat—"

……

Accompanied by the celebration of the Wei State.

After Wu Mingsheng's capture of Sima Cuo reached the Qi State, King Qi Wei praised in front of Zou Ji: "Hey~ This person is really a great talent in governing the army, the national strength of Wei was lost by Pang Juan, I don't want to take just a year, although the land west of the river has not been recovered, but Wei has a strong army, and his talent should be above Pang Juan!" However, this person is blunt in his use of soldiers, and he does not have much strategy, and there is still a gap compared to his grandson. Compared with General Tian Ji, Dao is much stronger~ This person, you should be on guard——"

Fame is chasing Pang Juan! King Qi Wei even bluntly belittled his proud general Tian Ji to reflect Wu Ming's goodness, which shows that King Qi Wei has a fancy for Wu Ming.

……

Qin, Xianyang Palace.

The news of Sima Cuo's capture first reached Shang Ying's ears, after all, he is the real general of the Qin State today, and Sima Cuo can be said to be carried by Shang Ying.

After learning the news of Sima Cuo, Shang Ying was only stunned! He didn't mean to blame Sima for being wrong, and at the same time, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and met Qin Xiaogong directly.

When Qin Xiaogong saw the report presented by Shang Ying, his brows suddenly twisted into eight characters.

"This~ The two armies are evenly matched, but General Sima was captured!" When he said this, Qin Xiaogong was somewhat annoyed and regretful.

The Linjin Pass City was about to be broken, but at the last moment, Wu Ming came back.

"Your Majesty-" Shang Ying knew what Qin Xiaogong was thinking at this time, Sima Cao's carelessness Qin Xiaogong didn't care much, what he cared about most was just Hexi.

Arching his hand slightly, Shang Ying said lightly: "Has the gentleman seen anything else from this report?" ”

Perhaps in order to pull Qin Xiaogong's mind back, Shang Ying deliberately sold a pass.

Sure enough, at this moment, Qin Xiaogong picked up the report and read it roughly. But after reading it, Qin Xiaogong shook his head for a while, "The strength of the widow is really not as good as Aiqing!" I don't know what Aiqing saw from it? ”

"Your Excellency, Martingale saw the special city defense equipment, and saw the more bloody Wei State foot soldiers!

Dare to ask your lord, in the battle of Hexi a year ago, our army was like a bamboo, captured the Great Wall, and the army approached Linjin Pass. At that time, if it weren't for the Wei general Wu Ming, Hexi would have returned to our Qin State.

Martingale still remembers that a year ago, the Wei State had no strong soldiers and no unscrupulous generals, and the morale was low, and the people of Hexi were even more discouraged. However, in just one year, although Wei had no grain in stock, it never recovered its national strength. But today's army is far away, comparable to that of day.

Moreover, as the report says, the rolling wood with iron thorns is another gate above the city gate! These things are unheard of in the countries today, but the Wei State has them within a year, and they all have something to do with Wu Ming! ”

Hearing Shang Ying say this, Qin Xiaogong immediately understood something, but he didn't understand anything!

"Aiqing is saying that this son is a great talent in the world? However, the widow ordered the five doctors to go to Wei Zhaolan, but this person didn't have the intention of going to Qin-" After thinking about it, Qin Xiaogong still didn't fully understand what Shang Ying meant, so he had to frown and ask: "Could it be that Aiqing has a good plan to inform the widow?" ”

Hearing this, Shang Ying vetoed it, and said solemnly: "What Martingale said, this person is a person who is bad for the affairs of my Qin State, and he can't be used by me, so he should try to get rid of him." In the past, Wu Qi relied on his military forces to shock the world, and judging from the city defense, this person would never lose to Wu Qi. If you don't get rid of it, it will be a disaster. In addition, the meaning of martingale, my Qin State should also encourage the transformation of subjects, such as the military soldiers of Wei, such as the siege of Chu, decades ago, if my Qin State preemptive-"

There's no need to go on at this point. Shang Ying's intentions are already very obvious. recognized the strength of the enemy country and revealed the weakness of the Qin state today.

It's just that Shang Ying praised Wu Ming for being comparable to a generation of soldiers Wu Qi, which made Qin Xiaogong a little sideways-

……

Chu State, Yingdu.

"Since the matter has come to this, according to the widow's opinion, this matter will be forgotten——!" Looking at Jin Shang in front of him, who wanted to speak and stopped, King Chu Wei waved his hand and said a little helplessly.

Obviously, in the face of Wei putting the vassal power of the weak guard in the hands of the Qi State, the psychology of King Chu Wei retreated again. To put it bluntly, today's King of Chu doesn't have much hegemonic heart!

On the lower left, Jin Shang quietly lowered his head and thought for a moment, and after a while, he straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although this matter has changed, it will not affect my Chu country's great policy!" ”

"The State of Qi is not the State of Wei, and the King of Qi is not the arrogant person of the King of Wei! The widow is willing to hear the details, and the policy of my Chu country, how can it not be affected? ”

As soon as he heard this article, Jin Shang knew that there was still a play, otherwise, the king of Chu would directly wave his hand helplessly, just saying that there is no need to mention this matter in the future!

The next moment, Jin Shang, who had some confidence in his heart, said more and more seriously: "Qi and Zhao and Yan are feuds, if my king is because of the weak guard and Qi are at odds, the minister asserts that Zhao and Yan will definitely not stand idly by, my king may be able to order the world, and form an alliance with Zhao and Yan, on the grounds that the king of Qi does not respect the number of courtesies, form an alliance to attack Qi——"

"Vazi?" Hearing Jin Shang's words, King Chu Wei was first taken aback. Then thoughtfully.

Seeing this situation, Jin Shang knew that King Chu Wei had listened to it, and since he had already listened to it, Jin Shang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and continued to warm up: "There was a Qi State sending troops to stop Zhao from attacking Wei before, if it wasn't for the Qi State sending troops, Zhao State might be able to cut a piece of fat on Wei's body!" It was Tian Ji and Sun Bin who led the troops into the Wei realm, and finally made Zhao Guo's bamboo basket draw water, and it cost the country all the strength! Yan Guo has been under the control of Qi for many years, and this time they will join forces to attack Qi, and Zhao and Yan Dang will not refuse.

Although Wei signed an alliance with Qi not long ago, there was Qin in the west, and Qin and Qi had always been fighting against each other, so when the Three Kingdoms invaded Qi, Qin categorically would not let Wei have the ability to aid Qi, and Qi would be isolated and helpless. The matter that the minister said before used the weak guard as a military camp and sent troops from it to jointly destroy Wei became the destruction of Qi after this transformation.

In terms of wealth and financial resources, Qi is much stronger than Wei, and the three kingdoms are divided, and my Chu can still be defended. ”
