Chapter 43: The Value of Human Life

Gongsun Shu died, but he was not killed in battle, and Mrs. Gongsun, who had lost her son and husband, decisively packed her luggage and asked for help from Prime Minister Wei Cheng after a series of tricks and scolding to no avail, and the 20,000 garrisons under Gongsun Shu were temporarily managed by Li Chong.

Recently, King Zhao always felt that his head was buzzing, and in the morning, Cheng Yi, the imperial historian, was the first to come out and impeach the son of Li Chong, the county guard of Longxi, for murder, and as he spoke, he involved Ying Guang to shield the criminals, and forced the county lieutenant Gongsun Shu to commit suicide unjustly, talking about shocking the world, crying ghosts and gods, like songs and weeping, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and finally proposed that such a frenzied person should die of a car crack to set an example. As soon as the words fell, the old marquis Meng Chongmeng couldn't bear it anymore, and came out by mistake, pointing at Cheng Yi's nose and scolding: "You know a fart!" That Gongsun Shu is flying and domineering, no one in his eyes, sometimes he doesn't even listen to my military orders, and he has been in Lao Tzu's military camp in the past, and he has already been split into eight sections, but fortunately, he has self-knowledge, and he commits suicide in shame, and he can be regarded as a master of Daqin! Besides, a little county lieutenant committed suicide, and you actually wanted to split the commander under my command, Xiao Wei, you say, did you let him do this! ”

Prime Minister Wei Ran came out of the ranks, first bowed to King Zhao, and said: "The country has the law, so it should be done according to the law, not that you can ignore the law by looking at anyone's face, what does the old marquis think?" ”

"Whew!" Meng Wang's beard and hair were all open, and he didn't care that King Zhao was on the stage, rolled up his sleeves, crossed his waist, and shouted at Wei Ran: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, that Gongsun Shu is your person, Li Chong is a civil official, and the whole Longxi makes you unable to run the water, like an iron bucket, now Yingguang is in Longxi, and he is the old man's person, you are clearly taking this opportunity to suppress dissidents!" ”

"Suppressing dissidents? Is Master Hou saying that the prime minister is forming a party for personal gain? Wei Ran smiled gloomily, suddenly became upright, and said loudly: "King, my loyalty to the king can be revealed, and I just do things according to the rules, but the old marquis has blocked him in every way, could it be that there is another hidden secret?" ”

"Fart! In terms of loyalty, when the old man galloped on the battlefield with the first king, you kid still peed and played with mud! Wang, don't pull me! I'm going to beat this kid! ”

The drowsy old marquis Wang Zhen was woken up by Meng Chong's roar, although he didn't hear what was arguing in the Qing Dynasty just now when he wrestled with Zhou Gong, but with the friendship with Lao Meng for many years, this tacit understanding is still there, with hazy sleepy eyes, the saliva at the corner of his mouth didn't have time to wipe it, he stepped forward and grabbed Meng Chong's robe sleeve, and shouted a desolate: "Big brother, dissipate your anger, you can't think about it, sister-in-law is at the age of flowers, you can rest assured, my brother will help you take care of it!" ”

Meng Chong staggered, gave Wang Zhen a head back, his eyes moved, and he glanced at Wei Ran on the opposite side, and gestured: "Over there, over there!" ”

Wang Zhen suddenly realized and shouted at Wei Ran: "Although my sister-in-law is over fifty years old, she is at a good age!" But how can you be more than ten years older than you, Xiao Wei, how can you be so greedy and have such dirty thoughts! After speaking, his face was full of regret, and he didn't know whether to feel sorry for his sister-in-law or for himself.

Poor Wei Ran, his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, he is not afraid of sarcasm of officials, nor is he afraid of the generals' roughness, but he is afraid of this nonsense stupidity, there is no reason to talk about it at all, the best result is that you say yours, he says his, and he dies without a problem.

King Zhao rubbed his forehead with a headache and slammed the table! scolded: "A Hou Ye! A prime minister! What kind of system is it to be so nonsense on top of this hall! With a wave of his hand, he slammed a roll of bamboo slips on the table to the bottom of the hall, and said loudly: "You don't know what kind of color Gongsun Shu is?" It's a fool to be alone! It is clear that Li Yao saw that his mother was humiliated and killed Gongsun Invincible by mistake, and that Gongsun Shu fell off the horse and died! Although he had no way to teach his son, he remembered that he had been on the border for many years, so he was compensated for the death of the war. As for Yingguang, regardless of the reason, if he shields Li Yao, he will be punished for temporarily taking the post of county lieutenant, and he will honestly defend the border in Longxi! ”

Seeing that Wei Ran was still going to speak, King Zhao suddenly said coldly: "Does the prime minister have anything else to say?" ”

Wei Ran was shocked, knowing that King Zhao was already dissatisfied with his hand in the army, although he had the merit of being a dragon, but the Meng family was loyal and good from generation to generation, and was born and died for the previous kings, and the army was in the hands of the Mengshi King was very relieved, he had touched the bottom line of the king, and he could not cross it again.

"Wechen has no objection." Wei Ran was even more respectful than just now, and after the salute was completed, he returned to the team and stood up. The king has closed the coffin, Gongsun Shu, the unlucky bastard, died in vain, and the interests of various groups are fighting for the court and court, and what the king wants is to not only restrain each other, but also unite and stabilize. As long as it can be exchanged for enough benefits, this kind of cheap item is more or less for the major groups, and no one will care about the bitter master who is still waiting in the post house and wants to be treated fairly.

Sure enough, until the scattered dynasty, no one mentioned the changes in Longxi, as if everyone had selectively forgotten this place, out of the main hall, Wei Ran's face was as usual, and he walked side by side with Meng Chong talking and laughing, and the old man Wang Zhen was also smiling and smiling next to him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the major events of human life are so quietly peaceful, even Mrs. Gongsun has no news, no one knows where she went, just like a stone thrown into a deep pool, except for the ripples at the beginning, no one will care about the whereabouts of the stone.

Life has to go on, whether it is Yingguang in Longxi or King Zhao in Xianyang, everyone's requirements are the same, that is, balance. As long as the civilian clique and the military clique can restrain each other, King Zhao can take himself as the center and form a stable triangle with the two cliques. Moreover, at present, King Zhao's focus is on the border of Chu State, the support of the Mengwu army is very timely, and it has helped Chu State stabilize the situation, and the war will end if it drags on for a few more months. As for whether the lieutenant of Longxi County is Ying Guang or Zhao Guang, for King Zhao, it is the same.

Thinking about the harvest of this expedition to the Chu State, King Zhao's mood was a burst of comfort, and the feeling of sitting and reaping the benefits was good. It's just that this good mood didn't last long, and it was ruined by another thing - the envoys of the Yue clan and the Qiang clan have entered Xianyang City, and the request is very simple, the prince of the Qiang clan wants to marry the princess of the Yue clan, and ask the king of Qin to give Yuzhong and Lintao as congratulatory gifts to the Qiang and Yue clans, otherwise the two clans will definitely take it for themselves!
