Chapter 132: Succession (1)
At dawn on the second day, Liang Wei sat in the study, waiting for the guest who had just been reported, he was a little nervous, raised his hand and took a sip of tea, heard a movement at the door, and walked in from outside the door, it was his grandfather's younger brother, Liang Bing, the head of the Liang State clan.
Liang Bing has a typical appearance of a man from Liang Guo, tall and thin, with eagle eyebrows and deep eye sockets, the difference is that he has a pair of powerful arms, Liang Wei has almost died under these hands countless times. He is the best trainer in Liang Guo, which means that there can be today's Liang Wei, and Liang Bing is the initiator.
Liang Bing refused to salute, Liang Wei was a little restless, but he still endured the fear in his heart, since he was seventeen years old and could defeat Liang Bing, the fear in his heart became weaker and weaker. The country of Liang is a country with a strong shogunate, and the person who can make Liang Bing bow his head must be convinced by him, the strongest person in this dynasty.
"It's snowing outside, it's rare that my uncle will go out, it seems that something is going on?" Liang Wei wanted to stand up, but Liang Bing stretched out a gesture to stop him, and then sat on the chair on the side, "Since His Highness asked so, then the king said bluntly, His Highness should send a new successor to the clan." ”
"Uncle is talking about Bi'er?" Liang Wei's eyes were a little wandering, his only son Liang Bi was just five years old.
"This king is really old, I can't afford to wait any longer, and when I finish training, Your Highness, this king will obey the will of heaven and go to see your grandfather." Liang Bing was the youngest brother of Emperor Liang Guo, but he had a bad fate.
At the beginning of the Liang State, there was a custom of sending the inheritor to the ancestral hall for training, and in Liang Bing's generation, the Yongdi of the Liang State sent the two sons of the first and the second son, the eldest son Liang Qing, the first emperor of the Liang State, and the younger son Liang Bing. I thought that Emperor Yongdi had other plans, but I didn't expect that this little son was sent in just to give his eldest brother a tool to practice his hands.
Liang Bing in order to survive, can only desperately practice every day, and finally on the day of his eldest brother's departure, he was still brought to the front of the eldest brother, Liang Qing finally did not bear to kill him, but gave him away, the patriarch of the clan at that time, over time, Liang Qing died on the battlefield, and Liang Bing became the new patriarch, he trained the first successor, that is, Liang Wei, the emperor who was about to bring the Liang country to its peak.
Now, Liang Bing is 61 years old, he has no confidence to wait a few more years, he needs to train a successor, so he is here today.
"Uncle, Bi'er..."Although Liang Wei has a hard heart, but thinking of the hardships he has endured, a five-year-old child is afraid that he will be tossed to death in just ten days.
"When you came to me, you were only nine years old. Liang Wei, are you afraid, your son, will be as ambitious as you? Liang Bing hit the nail on the head and pierced Liang Wei's deepest concerns.
"Uncle, Bi'er, I really feel sorry for him, why don't you wait until he is nine years old?" Liang Wei did not deny it, and naturally did not admit it.
"I don't know you yet?" Liang Bing asked.
"When he reaches the age of nine, I will personally deliver him to yours." Liang Wei strongly assured.
"Then he was going to be taken away from his mother now. There are many defeated mothers, and this king doesn't want to have another one, crying to find his mother's soft eggs. The person Liang Bing said was naturally Liang Wei, and when he was tortured in the dungeon, he would naturally think of his mother, that beautiful, but unblessed woman. When he was in the most pain, imagining that she could be by his side, Liang Wei's face was not good-looking, but Liang Bing didn't care, the clan of Liang Guo only supported the strongest person they recognized. So Liang Wei never used, doubting their loyalty.
"Uncle, I'm in the prime of life now, in addition to the reason for your age, you are so anxious to cultivate Bi'er, but do you have other considerations?"
"Your grandfather, when he was hacked to death under the horse, was also in his prime, and if you look at your wound again, I am afraid that it will be a little later to be rescued, and you will have to go to see your grandfather before me. Liang Wei, even if you are afraid of growth, but you can't, stop growth. This is for the good of our Liang Guo. Liang Bing stretched out his hand and picked up the tea cup in his hand, Liang Guo's tea cup is always heavy, because the weather is cold, if it is not made like this, the tea will soon be cold, and even freeze. Liang Bing took a sip of warm tea and frowned, "This tea is really delicious." ”
"Looking at my uncle's expression, it doesn't seem like that." Liang Wei also took a sip of tea, unlike Dasheng's tea, Liang Guo's tea always has a stronger bitter taste.
"Your father won't last long, so what's next for you?" Liang Bing came here for a total of two things, and after completing one, he naturally wanted to ask the other.
"As long as there is an uncle, if you want to come to this hall, you will be able to ascend the throne smoothly." Liang Weizhi didn't care about these things.
"You don't have to worry. But when you leave, you promise that you will do it, where is the achievement? Liang Bing's tone was impatient, in fact, this was a disguised pressure on Liang Wei.
"If you want to recapture Yanzhou, you must take Tongzhou, the main hall is already mobilizing people, and after ten days, Tongzhou must be taken."
"Tongzhou was originally under your control, and now you are just sending troops from one pocket to another, which is not a big achievement. What this king and the others want to see is that your royal flag is planted on the wall of Yanzhou. ”
"I didn't bring back the defense map this time, but after seeing the defense map. I've gained a lot. Liang Wei told Liang Bing about his thoughts, "We just look at it from the outside, and we can also see how strict the Great Sage is with Yanzhou." If we take Yanzhou by force, although it is not impossible, it will definitely be a great loss of vitality, and we will not be able to continue to go south as soon as we come out. Leaving one Yanzhou empty is not even enough for the soldiers and money and food that we have to pay for this time. Therefore, this hall, I don't want to take Yanzhou for the time being, I want to take Tongzhou first, and then take Yunzhou and Hanzhou, I want to take Yanzhou without spending a single soldier. ”
"You want to besiege the city?" Liang Bing's eyebrows frowned, this siege since ancient times, it is said that it does not cost a soldier and a clan, in fact, it is the people in the city who suffer the most, water and food are cut off, but in a few months, no matter how big the city is, it will definitely collapse, and there will even be a tragedy of people eating people and eating children. In the end, this city is likely to become an empty city, and it will not be able to recover for more than ten years.
"Yes" Liang Wei nodded, "Yanzhou is a place without a line of weakness, there are fences under the water that connects the canals, and people can't get in, but because of these fences, I can cut off the water from the upstream, and the three states are enclosed together, and I can take Yanzhou as a birthday gift for my father." "Emperor Liang's longevity festival is in November, and now it is the beginning of January, it seems that Liang Wei plans to take Yanzhou in ten months.
"Yanzhou used to be the land of my Liang, and those people were also the people of our Liang country, if it was encircled, it would be corpses all over the field, so this king really can't see that you are a father who will feel sorry for his children."
"Uncle, back then, if Uncle Xin had approached the dungeon of the clan, what would have been the situation?" Liang Xin is Liang Bing's only son, and he was supposed to send him into the clan, but even Liang Bing relented in the end.
Liang Wei continued: "Uncle is not also a father who feels sorry for his children. ”
Liang Bing's treatment of Liang Wei can be described as ruthless, Liang Wei feels that he may have expectations to become, a qualified successor, maybe in addition to this, there is also hatred for his grandfather and his father.
"It's stronger when it's stronger, isn't this what my uncle taught me? And those people, if they really regarded themselves as the people of our Great Liang, they would have already carried a pot of food to welcome the king. Why lock the door and not let us in? Liang Wei was a little leisurely and even a little sleepy when he said this.
"You're really frivolous, deciding the life and death of others at will. There is no difference from before. ”
"I killed just to end his suffering as soon as possible."
"If he is not God, nor is he himself, how do you know that his life will be miserable after that?" Liang Bing and Liang Wei both referred to other things in and out of their words, in fact, they were talking about a person who was killed by Liang Wei.
"That's because whoever meets me has to live in pain. Isn't this what my uncle taught me? Liang Wei sneered, and his eyebrows were full of indifference.
"What made you change your mind? You didn't plan to do that. Liang Bing still remembered that Liang Wei was going to Dasheng and had other plans.
"I will persecute a man, and I will force this man to submit to me, and I will persecute this man, and I will bring another person to me. I must get one of them. Liang Wei narrowed his eyes, and the cold light came out, full of frost.
"Do you think it's a child's play?" Liang Bing's mood remained unchanged, but his mood couldn't be very happy anyway.
"If I have to say it, it's better to say that this is a game, a game for her to recognize who is strong. Uncle, you know, I've never lost. In addition to the cold gaze, Liang Wei also brought a trace of expectation.
Liang Bing asked a little confused, "Yes, is it a woman?" ”
"Woman, well, a very beautiful woman. It's just that this woman is a chain that can trap the beast, she has been ruthless, and she has restrained another beast, you say that as long as I hold this chain in my hand, wouldn't it be a win? ”
"What if the beast is just a pretend?"
"No, I can see it very clearly."
The beast in Liang Wei's mouth was naturally Rong Ying, and Rong Ying straightened up from his head, looked at the half-written recital at hand, frowned, he actually fell asleep. The last few words of the fold were written a little sloppily, and it was too late for the time to transcribe a copy of the book, so he didn't plan to write it, and reached out to close it, and he repeatedly considered the twist and turn in the middle of the night, anyway, today's will will come down, and it was too late for him to hand it in now.
Rong Ying stretched a little tiredly, opened the door, and it was snowing outside.
His gaze was indifferent, there was no fanatical atmosphere, and his misty eyes still couldn't see the focus.
"Lord Wang. It's almost time. The attendant came in through the door, still steaming hot water in his hand.
"How is Your Majesty's spirit today?" Rong Ying asked as she wiped her face with a hot handkerchief.
"Your Majesty is staying alone in the Qiangong Palace today, and I feel a little unwell when I get up early, as if I am infected with the wind and cold. When the news was delivered, it was passed to the imperial doctor, and it should be having breakfast at this time. "Rong Ying's character, naturally, put his own spy in front of His Majesty's eyes early in the morning, so that such a subtle place can be observed, it seems that his spy is very powerful.
"There are a lot of things going on today, so I have to ask Your Majesty to take good care of your body. What about the crescent moon? How is she in Jiangfu? Rong Ying put down the handkerchief in her hand and felt that she was a lot more energetic.
"The county lord of the crescent moon entered the Jiang Mansion early yesterday morning, and ate dinner with General Jiang, and after about half a moment, Jiang Feng, the son of General Jiang, also entered, and the three of them talked for half an hour, and General Jiang sat for a while before leaving, it seems that the county lord is in the Jiang Mansion, which is not bad."
"Will the will come down today?"
"Yes, there are three wills related to His Highness, the Lord of the Crescent Moon today. The first is naturally the marriage and your will, the second is the marquis edict, and the last is also a marriage edict. The attendant also reported all the information he had gathered to Rong Ying.
Rong Ying nodded, "If that's the case, if that's the case..."
Rong Ying repeated it twice, without saying what she really thought in her heart, and then said to the attendant, "Hasn't Liang Guo's side reacted yet?" ”
"As far as the minions know, no." The squire replied in the affirmative.
"It shouldn't be" Rong Ying knew him far better than Liang Wei thought, but Liang Wei was a very proud person, so he couldn't see Rong Ying's intentions clearly.
"However, I heard that the crown prince of Liang has returned to Liang State, and the first thing he did after returning was to reorganize the army, and secretly contacted the guards of Tongzhou.
Rong Ying nodded, it seemed that he was right. Liang Wei was really thinking, he wanted to tie himself up with an iron chain, so why didn't he plan it, no one would talk about the strategy, and the fastest way to win himself was to make the opponent think that he had grabbed his handle, and now his handle was put under Liang Wei's nose, really, God helped him.
Xinyue yawned, turned over and poured the brocade into her arms, at first she couldn't sleep with insomnia, but she didn't expect that as soon as Fei'er left last night, she was so sleepy that her eyelids fought, thinking that it was because of the excessive use of her brain during the day.
At this time, she still wanted to lie in bed again, but Feng'er had already walked in with hot water, "Girl, get up quickly, in half an hour, the messenger should arrive, let's go to the room prepared for us by Mrs. Chen earlier." "Feng'er is talking about the good things that Xinyue explained yesterday, but I didn't expect that the people who knew these things would not be able to get out of bed today.
"I don't have to answer the order, and it's not me who pays homage to the prime minister, how can I actively do anything?" The new moon has some self-abandonment, hiding in the brocade quilt and refusing to come out.
