Chapter 20 Looking for Cheng Nanhuang Sanzhu Tian Qianzi Xiang Wei Jun Phantom Night Terror Du Sanniang Middle and Bottom
85_85155Jing Ke and his entourage were outside Puyang City, and after meeting the mysterious old man, they never encountered other strange things. And the situation of the Qin army's pressure on the border was imminent, and the matter of connivance must not be delayed, so Jing Ke led Gong Rong, Du Sanniang, Thief Sheng, Zhu Hai and others to Wei Daliang non-stop.
After the Wei State was divided into Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Hengzi, and Han Gengzi, the Marquis of Wei served the internal affairs with Li Xian and Wu Qi dominated the military and politics, and for a time it flourished and became the overlord of the Central Plains. It's a pity that later in the Battle of Maling and the Battle of Yique, most of the elites of Wei were wiped out by Sun Bin and Bai Qi, so the country's situation gradually declined. It can really be said that the country has no virtuous ministers, and there are few foreign generals, so that the territory of Wei was compressed to a corner by the Qin State. In addition, since Korea bowed down to the court, Qin's * team was even closer to the area of Yanghao and Zhengcheng of Wei, and if Qin wanted to send troops to attack Wei, it would not even take three days to reach Daliang, the capital of Wei. Therefore, at this time, the Wei State was afraid of Qin like an antelope seen in a tiger, and he did not dare to covet it at all.
Gao Yuanli suggested that Jing Ke should take the lead in Wei, not only because Wei had the advantage in geographical location, but because Wei was actually the most difficult force among the five countries, and only by gnawing this most difficult bone would the other countries take advantage of the situation. But how did Jing Ke know that in this Wei State, there were not a group of virtuous ministers such as Su Li and his gang of sons who fought together, as Gao Yanli said, but there were also a group of greedy villains like Wei Xiang Wei Qi and Zhongda Doctor Xu Jia who advocated attachment to the Qin State.
In fact, for the four of them, Thief Sheng, Zhu Hai, Mao Yun, and Xue Lun, this time they came to Wei State to revisit their old places, but now Xinling Jun is no longer in the office, and he can't help but feel sad in his heart. The reason why they left Wei was because they had lost confidence in the current Wei authorities, and they hated ministers like Xu Jia and Wei Qi for controlling the government and framing Zhongliang, but now they want to follow Jing Ke to Wei to pretend to be their grandson, and they are really unwilling in their hearts. Before, he deliberately chattered all the way, not only because he hated the fatigue of this journey, but because his feelings for Wei seemed to have a thorn in him, and he always poked in his heart.
"Since the envoys of the Yan Kingdom have visited, Su Jia will send people to Wei Xiang, so there is no need to work too hard to mobilize the people. After listening to the waiter's report, Doctor Su Jia didn't care about the visit of Jing Ke and his party, and said coldly. In the eyes of Su Jia today, only Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei, is the real master, so the first thing he thought of was not King Wei Jingyan, but the prime minister Wei Qi.
Since the waiter went to report to Xu Jia, Jing Ke and his party waited for a long time in the Wei State Pavilion, but no one came to greet them.
"I know that the whole Wei country is a snob who forgets his righteousness, regardless of the background of the prince and duke, he ignores the scholars and scholars, and has long advised Juzi not to come here to ask for fun, look, now it has come true. The thief began to mumble again.
"Back then, the Wei family snubbed my son-in-law, so that the son-in-law ended up depressed, and now the situation has reached such a point, but he is still so indifferent and slow, if God does not kill him Wei State, but what will he do?" Mao Yun was also depressed for a long time at this time, so he also complained.
Jing Ke knew that the four guests of Xinling had a lot of complaints about the Wei Dynasty, otherwise they would not give up the glory and wealth to enjoy it, and they were willing to live in the rivers and lakes and be a wanderer. Although he is a great son of the Mo family, he has a lot of ghost ideas on weekdays, but when he encounters this situation, he is also very helpless.
"Don't be angry, Grandpa Thief, you have been tired when you watch you running all the way, and now you can rest in this pavilion, but it is much better than suffering from the fatigue of the journey, and besides, there is plenty of wine and food in this pavilion, and the grain is rich, why not just have a full meal and eat him?"
"What the girl said is reasonable, if he wants to be slow to me, why should I be slow to myself?" After drinking, he took a long sip of wine, but he didn't seem to be happy, and grabbed the melons and fruits in the fruit bowl and broke them casually, and then devoured them.
Zhu Hai and the others were also hungry at this time, and seeing that he was very interested in eating, they couldn't hold it back, so they also walked straight to the table, and also picked up some food and ate together. Only Du Sanniang and Gong Rong are women, after all, and they pay attention to their own appearance, so they did not rush forward together.
While eating and drinking, the thief was interested, so he let go of his voice and shouted: "There is wine today and drunk today, don't let the vicious dog look down on people." Brother Juzi, why don't you have a good time?" Thief Sheng put another pot of liquor into his stomach and shouted at Jing Ke.
Although Jing Ke also likes such a joyful feeling, but now that he is both a great son of the Mo family and an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, how can he not be restrained by some etiquette and rules? So he just wanted to wave his hand to shirk it, when he suddenly heard a person outside the door say with a sense of pride: "Who calls me Wei Chen a vicious dog?"
As soon as Jing Ke heard this, it was expected that the envoys sent by the Wei State to greet him would come to greet him, and he suddenly panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold down the disheveled and disheveled thief, and at the same time squeezed his eyebrows at Zhu Hai and the others, signaling them to pay attention to their behavior.
As the person outside the door spoke, he had already walked into the house, and when he saw Jing Ke and the others, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Su Li, the doctor of the Wei Kingdom, came to greet the guests of the Yan Kingdom. This person is measured in his gestures, and he seems to be very familiar with the etiquette of state guests.
Jing Ke looked at the man's sword eyebrows, and there was a clear air in his eyes, but he was not an ordinary mediocre person, so he immediately got up and said: "Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and a group of people to visit Dr. Su." ”
"Let a few guests wait for a long time, and I hope to forgive me for the inconsiderate greeting of our country. Su Li saw Jing Ke and apologized again and again.
"My family is not only the leader of the Yijian Alliance, but also the general and envoy of the Yan State, and this time he came here to defend against the strong Qin and protect the society, how dare you King Wei be so lazy, and there has been no news for so long, how can it not be annoying?" Seeing that someone finally came to meet him, Fang Cai's resentment naturally rose again, so he used the strength of the wine to shout at Na Su.
"A few guests are angry, and they naturally don't dare to slack off on the big thing of rejecting Qin, but the king of my family has been ill recently, and he has been bedridden for a long time, and he can't speak yet, so everything is temporarily represented by Wei Xiang, and Wei Lian has been busy with government affairs for a few days, so he will be late. Su Li saw that there was a drunken drunken man with a sharp beak in front of him questioning him, so he explained.
"Oh, but King Wei is seriously ill?" Jing Ke was shocked when he heard that King Wei was sick, and then he was desolate, and secretly said to Gao in his heart: Brother Gao, Brother Gao, why didn't you calculate that this branch would be born?
"Exactly, so I hope a few guests will forgive me," Su Li said and saluted Jing Ke and the others again, and then said, "A few of you will go to the palace of King Wei with me for the time being, and Xiang Wei has also known about this and is rushing to the palace." ”
"Then everything will bother Dr. Su. Jing Ke raised his hand to return the salute, and then led the thief Sheng and the others to follow Su Li straight to the palace of King Wei.
In fact, after Nasujia got the servant's report, he didn't inform others, and only went straight to Wei Qi's mansion. And the attendant of the pavilion has not received the envoys of other countries for a long time, knowing that the envoys of the Yan Kingdom must have come this time must be extraordinary, seeing that Su Jia is casual and careless, he is afraid of making a mistake, he originally received the favor of the doctor Su Li, so he also went to Su Li to report it.
Su Li is a generation of famous ministers after Su Qin, and he is also a descendant of the Zongheng family, and Gao gradually left the Wei State as he said at the beginning, and there were a group of courtiers who advocated harmony, which was the group of people headed by Su Li. Su Li originally hated Wei Qi for being in cahoots with Xu Jia and others, and was heavily bribed by the Qin State to murder Wei Wuji, the prince of the Wei Dynasty, who was one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States who was known all over the world. Therefore, on the current dynasty of Wei, due to their different political views and interests, they were categorically divided into two dynasties, one was the main peace faction led by Wei Qi and Xu Jia who advocated dependence on the Qin state, and the other was the main faction led by Su Li who advocated connivance and rejected the main battle of Qin. However, since Wei Wuji was ostracized by Wei Qi and ended up depressed, the main battle faction has been at a disadvantage, and King Wei Jingyu has almost reached the point of obeying Wei Qi's words. Therefore, this time, the Yan State sent a secret envoy to the Wei State, and Su Li was naturally overjoyed, so he wanted to make good use of this opportunity to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the King of Wei Jingyi, hoping to be able to join the Zong.
When Jing Ke and his entourage followed Su Li all the way to the palace of the king of Wei, they saw that outside the palace gate, there was a chariot made of splendid silk weaving standing in it, the axle was pulled by the reins of the horse, and the formation was very magnificent. When Su Li saw the chariot, he knew that Wei Qi had taken the lead again, so he had already begun to think about the wording of the tribute to King Wei in his heart, hoping that the strategy could be achieved in one fell swoop.
"Doctor Su Li is here--" With a long cheer from the palace people, Su Li and the others walked into the bedroom of King Wei Jingyu together. Seeing that Wei Qi, Xu Jia and others were already standing on both sides of King Wei's couch, it seemed that they had already made complete preparations to wait for Su Li, Jing Ke and his party.
"The subordinate Su Li led the envoy of the Yan State to ask the king to play. Su Li came to King Wei's couch and raised his hand to report.
But the king of Wei listened to Su Li's recital, only turned over with difficulty on the couch, and babbled casually, the sound he made was extremely subtle, as if it had been broken by the air, and he couldn't hear what he said at all, as if he had words to say, but he couldn't say it clearly, or he was just confused in a nightmare. However, there is still blood on the face, so it should be fine, and it must be a sign of internal emptiness.
"The king had a recurrence of his old illness last night, lying on his side, and now he is unable to speak, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet the envoy of Yan State at this moment. At this time, Su Jia, who was on the side, saw that Su Li seemed to be confused, so he explained from the side.
"The recurrence of the old disease? Yesterday at noon, the king was fine, and the imperial doctor had already indicated that the king's illness would recover in a few days, so why did he become sick like this again after not seeing him overnight?" Su Li listened to Xu Jia's explanation, and suddenly became more and more suspicious.
Su Jia was suddenly stopped by Su Li's question, and immediately couldn't answer, so he had to secretly squint at Wei Qi, hoping that Wei Qi could speak for him to relieve the siege.
"This happened suddenly, and the prime minister had just learned about it, so he hurriedly entered the palace. Wei Qi, who had been silent at this time, finally spoke, but he didn't even glance at Su Jia, and only used very ordinary words to talk about things, as if he wanted to tell everyone that this was the truth, and there was no room for suspicion.
"Where is the imperial doctor yesterday? Sooner than I came to ask!" Of course, Su Li didn't believe Wei Qi's excuse, because he knew that Wei Qi must have leaked the news from Su Jia when he came this time, so he hurried back to the palace, intending to take the first step and strike first. Therefore, he shouted loudly to pass on the imperial doctor, so as to verify Wei Qi's words.
"These mediocre people in the Tai Hospital can only see the wind and rudder, and say some visible flattery, but now they are helpless, and they are discussing the way to cure in the back hall. At this time, another voice came to mind around the couch, although this voice was heard very clearly, but the tone always sounded extremely cold, and it didn't seem to be like the voice of a living person, "I have ordered these fools to consult the pharmacopoeia, and I will definitely save the life of the king, otherwise none of them will want to leave this palace alive for half a step!"
"Who is this old gentleman?" Jing Ke, who was on the side at this time, heard this person speak very strangely, it seemed to be a little special, for Wei Qi and Xu Jia, he could naturally see the appearance of the official eunuch, but this person was different, so he couldn't help but inquire to Su Li curiously.
"Oh, this is the prince worshiped by the king, erudite and talented, able to distinguish the sun, moon and stars, and talk about heavenly things, known as 'talking about Tianyan', also Mr. Tianyan. Su Li listened to Jing Ke beside him inadvertently ask, so he replied casually, and he was quite respectful of Mr. Tianyan in his words.
"Since Taifu bothered to worry about this matter, then the king's illness will be left to Mr. Tianyan. After Su Li answered Jing Ke's question, he said respectfully to Mr. Tianyan.
"Doctor Su is relieved, the old man will keep an eye on this matter. Tan Tianyan immediately assured Su Li, and there was quite a sharp air between his words, even Wei Qi was not as good as this.
"Since it is not appropriate for the king to receive the envoy of Yan State today, then the prime minister will greet him for the time being, but I don't know how to call a few of them?" Wei Qi saw that Su Dai also agreed with Tan Tianyan's words, so he put aside the matter of King Wei Jingyan's medical treatment for the time being, and then inquired about Jing Ke and his party.
"Oh, in Xia Jing Ke, on the order of King Yan, I came to Wei to discuss and condone Qin's plan. Jing Ke listened to Wei Qi's question, and hurriedly introduced himself
