"Speaking of Lord Longyang, father, what do you plan to do with him?"
"We need to deal with it quickly while King Wei of Wei is still on the throne. I'm afraid its value will drop sharply when someone else takes the throne."
The State of Wei could not stop the war because of Lord Longyang, even if he was a favorite of King Wei of Wei, so the State of Qin did not negotiate terms with Lord Longyang before the war started.
Now that the war has come to an end, we can negotiate terms with Lord Long Yang. As long as we don't go too far, Wei will probably accept it.
In addition to Lord Longyang being the favored minister of King Wei of Wei, the capable ministers of Wei, the now famous Wei Wuji, and the beloved disciple of the great general of Wei, Dianqing, all owed Lord Longyang a great favor.
If the apprentice can escape death, as the master, the general of the Wei State must receive favors, and Lord Long Yang has good connections in the Wei State and is quite popular.
"My father plans to exchange Lord Longyang for some resources. As long as he doesn't ask for land and cities, Wei will probably agree."
"Aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Although Lord Long Yang is quite talented, he can't be called a tiger. Wei Wuji is, so what if we let him go?"
"The state of Wei has been mostly decayed from top to bottom. Not to mention Lord Long Yang, even Wei Wuji and Wei Yu can't change it."
"Even if they have the heart to reform and the courage to cut off their wrists, Qin will not give them time to rise!"
Listening to Ying Zichu's confident and domineering words, a smile appeared on Cheng Qiao's face. His father was not confused, he was very wise.
Yes, by the end of the Warring States Period, even if the six Shandong countries had strong men who had the courage and determination to reform at all costs, the Qin State would not give them time to rise. Once they found out which one had improved, an overwhelming blow would follow.
Therefore, Han Fei's reform will not succeed. This is a realistic condition that does not depend on human will.
Even if Quicksand defeats Ye Mu, what can it do?
Qin's attack will soon follow, destroying all achievements. The gap between South Korea and Qin is too big. Even if Liusha fights desperately, it will only cause a little trouble for Qin.
Just like the dialogue between Li Si and Yan Lingji: Han Fei is making waves, and Li Si is chasing the waves, but the wind and waves are fleeting, and only by chasing the waves can the still water run deep.
If Li Si could not listen to Zhao Gao's lies, but value his own power too much and refuse to let go at all, it would not be difficult for him to retire after being successful under Fusu, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism.
Of course, Han Fei's spirit of doing something for the safety of his family and country, knowing that he cannot do anything, is really admirable, just like those heroes who sacrificed their lives and died generously in the most dangerous times, and sacrificed their own family to take care of everyone.
.
Knowing that you can't do something but doing it is sometimes foolish, but sometimes it is extremely great!
"What the father said is true, but this Lord Longyang is still a genius in swordsmanship and is only half a step away from becoming a master. The boy thinks that his martial arts should be abolished."
"It's all a trivial matter, as long as it doesn't damage Lord Long Yang's appearance and doesn't kill him."
"What exactly does your father want to exchange for?"
"The Wei State is located in the Central Plains, connected in all directions, and rich in products, mainly for copper and iron, gold and silver, silk, sulfur, saltpeter, leather, ceramics, and ribs."
"Cheng'er, do you have any ideas?"
"My child thinks we should also add various craftsmen and various collections of books."
Ying Zichu thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
"How about we wait until Wei Wuji is removed from power before starting this matter?"
"Can."
Lord Long Yang had a great influence on King Wei of Wei. Although he did not affect King Wei's decision in history, his butterfly had already affected the course of history. Just in case, Lord Long Yang could not be allowed to return early.
After talking about business, the father and son chatted for a while. When Ying Zichu started to yawn, Cheng Qiao and Ying Zheng left.
Cheng Qiao followed Ying Zheng to Zhilan Palace and sat there for a while before returning to his bedroom.
"Zhong Qian."
"My slave is here."
"Give this piece of paper to Zhan Ri and ask him to take people to deal with it as soon as possible. Keep it confidential."
"Here."
There were three things written on the note. The first thing was to use Wei spies to drive a wedge between King Wei and Wei Yu, and spread rumors among the seven kingdoms; the second thing was to ask Ji Ri to personally destroy Lord Long Yang's martial arts; The three things were to coerce and lure Wei Zeng, prompting him to kill Wei Wuji when the opportunity came.
As the son of the Qin State, the prince of the Qin State, and the leader of the net, Cheng Qiao, who has three identities, will naturally not do three things that are more shady than the last. He must maintain his noble identity and keep room for maneuver.
If something happens in the future, he will not know anything about it. Everything is done by the people who made the trap. He, a kid, is completely deceived.
Regardless of whether other people believe it or not, with this excuse, he can be made incorruptible and pure as jade!
There are some things that can be done but cannot be said, and there are some things that can be said but cannot be done. The knowledge here is very deep and ordinary people cannot grasp it.
…
Half a month passed quietly. With the combination of yin and yang in the Qin State, and the mixed methods of light and dark, Wei Wuji wanted to be the King of Wei, and was more suitable to be the King of Wei. Rumors such as King Wei was incompetent and should abdicate in favor of a worthy person, etc. were widely spread among the Seven Kingdoms. spread.
It can be said that in the world of the Seven Kingdoms, except for the diligent farmer uncle who turned his face to the loess and turned his back to the sky, everyone else who was a little better informed had heard about it.
Even most of the peasant uncles in Wei State have heard about it, and everyone from other walks of life is aware of it.
For such a large-scale rumor, anyone with a little bit of brains would know that there are forces secretly fueling the situation, and Qin is naturally the first suspect.
In fact, in addition to the Qin State who is doing its best to fuel the situation, the forces that are not against Wei Wuji are also pushing forward. No one can be liked by everyone, and Wei Wuji is no exception. There are many political opponents of Wei Wuji in the Wei State.
Without it, carnivores are despicable. Because Wei Wuji’s actions have harmed their interests, for their own benefit, the powerful officials don’t care what will happen if Wei Wuji steps down...
It would be better to die so that their benefits can be recovered.
Faced with such a critical situation, Wei Wuji naturally could not remain indifferent and immediately began to deal with it.
On the one hand, Wei Wuji mobilized his own power and connections to investigate and suppress the rumors. On the other hand, he went to see King Wei to tell himself, analyze the conspiracy behind the rumors, express his loyalty, play the emotional card, etc. It can be said that he tried his best.
However, the scary thing about rumors is that once they arise, no matter whether you respond positively or negatively, the forces promoting the rumors have strategies to make you unable to speak out about your suffering.
Wei Wuji's method of dealing with rumors has been interpreted as a guilty conscience. As the saying goes, the pure will become pure, and the dirty will become dirty. If you don't have a guilty conscience, why are you fighting with all your strength?
If Wei Wuji ignores it, it can be interpreted as acquiescence and dare not respond directly.
Anyway, there is something to be said for everything, so what does it mean to inflict a crime without saying anything?
That’s it!
The best way to deal with rumors is to cover them with a more powerful rumor, but Wei Wuji did not realize it.
No matter how powerful the rumors are, the most important thing is to see what Wei Wangyu thinks, otherwise it will be in vain.
Wei Wangyu was not stupid, and he saw something was wrong, but facing Wei Wuji, who made Wei State and even the world "only know that Wei State has Wei Wuji but not the king of Wei", the pressure was really great.
In this situation, even many wise men would have a hard time refraining from taking action. The only difference lies in the extent to which they handle it...
King Yu of Wei had doubts and couldn't make up his mind, so he began to consult privately with his chamberlains and ministers.
The chamberlain accepted the bribe from Qin, and although his words were vague, they hinted that Wei Yu wanted to reduce Wei Wuji's official position for the sake of the throne for himself and his descendants.
The officials who had accepted the bribes were much smarter than the servants, so they directly resorted to complimenting and killing him, and tried their best to say good things to Wei Wuji.
There is a shadow of a snare in this. The reason why the servants are not allowed to use the method of flattery and killing, but to stand on the side of the King of Wei, is to make those servants more trusted by the King of Wei, which is good for the Qin State.
Eunuchs lack a lot of desires, their concept of family and country is extremely weak, and their cultural level is extremely limited. If you have breasts, you are a mother, so it is much easier to bribe than a minister.
Naturally, the connections around Wei Wuji and the powerful officials who had a favorable impression of Wei Wuji spoke favorably for Wei Wuji.
When King Wei saw it, all the hair on his body stood on end, and his spine felt chilly. He was completely shocked!
Huh, basically in the entire court, except for his close confidants, most of the courtiers were speaking for his younger brother, and even some of his confidants were also helping to speak.
It seems that the rumor that "we only know that there is Wei Wuji but not the king of Wei" is not groundless, but is real.
If you let this younger brother stay in the court and continue to develop, maybe one day you will open your eyes and he will become a deposed king.
Therefore, within two days, Wei Wangyu found an excuse to give Wei Wuji's actual position in the court to someone else, and did not even do any superficial things such as increasing the fiefdom, rewarding him with money, or granting him a false title.
After Wei Wuji narrowly escaped death, he led the Allied Forces of the Five Nations to fight the Qin Army without stopping. After the success, he didn't catch anything. Everything he had caught was lost. He was scolded and had to shut up and think about his mistakes.
Although he did not kill anyone, the attitude shown by Wei Wangyu still chilled Wei Wuji. He was basically discouraged and began to indulge in sensuality...
Wei Wuji knew that as long as his brother was still on the throne, he would not be able to hold real power and contribute to the country.
The reason why Wei Wuji was not completely disheartened was because he had weak expectations for the next generation of King Wei.
Although Wei Wuji knew that he was deceiving himself, he still deceived himself. At least there was a faint hope in the "boring" sensuality.
Wei Wuji's experience aroused the sympathy of most people in the Wei state. When the news reached Han, Zhao, Yan, and Qi Chu, countless people were moved with emotion. Many people in the Qin state were also very emotional, but more people were happy.
He is a hero and I am a enemy. King Wei has done well. If the six countries do more of this, it will be easier for Qin to unify the world.
King Wei of Wei had been paying attention to domestic developments, and the chamberlain who was dealing with Qin's bribes even added fuel to the fire by speaking out about the domestic public opinion, making Wei Yu even more and more angry!
Since his prestige cannot be compared to that of Wei Wuji, and his prestige has dropped again after this incident, why not just break the pot and throw it away? If he can't compare in prestige and power, then he can't compare with him in power?
Let Wei Wuji and everyone in the Wei Kingdom know who is the real person in charge of the Wei Kingdom. No matter how outstanding your achievements are and how high your prestige is, no one can resist whoever he wants to deal with in the Wei Kingdom!
Therefore, King Wei of Wei issued an edict to Wei Wuji's residence, severely reprimanded Wei Wuji, and ordered Wei Wuji to retreat and reflect on his past mistakes. Without his edict, he was not allowed to leave the residence, let alone the state of Wei, otherwise he would be punished with treason!
This heavy blow directly wiped out the last faint hope in Wei Wuji's heart. He was completely discouraged and completely addicted to sex, food, gambling...
In the anime, after Wei Yong's death, Wei Wuji took a break and regained control of Wei Wuzu. Although he didn't hold back for a long time, he still worked hard again. However, in this time and space, Cheng Qiao probably won't give Wei Wuji a break. Opportunity
For the Qin State, Wei Yong was a talented person who was very suitable for mastering the military soldiers of Wei, so it was necessary to vigorously cultivate him.
…
Another half month later, when the world's public opinion about Wei Wuji gradually subsided, Qin State sent envoys to Wei State to discuss the exchange of Long Yangjun.
The State of Wei received the envoys of the State of Qin in a friendly manner, but it was a little tougher than before. After all, it dampened the spirit of the State of Qin, which is still very frustrating.
After hearing the Qin envoy's request, Wei Wangyu was a little moved, but he did not agree immediately.
Although the Qin State did not want the land and the city, the lion was still asking for it. Although Wei Wangyu wanted to exchange for Longyang Lord, he did not want to pay such a high price, so he wanted to show off the Qin envoys to lower the price.
After that, Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, the great general of the Wei State, the Chief of Thousands Dianqing, and the dignitaries who were friends with Lord Longyang all wrote to Lord Longyang to plead for mercy and tell Lord Longyang's past achievements.
King Wei of Wei thought of Lord Long Yang's past achievements, including the fact that he was able to dampen Qin's spirit this time and get back most of the lost land and cities. Lord Long Yang also had a share of the credit.
Although Wei Yu was very afraid of Wei Wuji, his younger brother, he had to admit Wei Wuji's ability in his heart. Without his younger brother to lead the army, he might not have been able to achieve the results he achieved today.
Thinking again of Long Yangjun's charming appearance, his skin that was whiter and smoother than a woman's, all the wonderful things about his body, his gentle and considerate service, he thought that as long as the Qin envoys gave him face, he would just relax a little. The thought of saying yes.
Aren't they just some humble craftsmen, some supplies, and some collections of books?
The envoys of the State of Qin were not ignorant. They noticed that King Wei had loosened his tone a little, so he tentatively reduced the amount a little in order to save his face.
If they can't reach an agreement, they can still reduce it. As long as it is no less than the bottom line drawn by Ying Zichu, the mission will be considered a success and the credit will not go away.
However, what King Wei wanted was face and a step up the ladder, and he did not care about humble craftsmen or a collection of books that could be copied. Although there were a lot of supplies, the overall value was not unacceptable compared to Long Yangjun.
The envoy of the State of Qin did not expect that Wei Wangyu actually agreed directly, and he was going crazy with joy. This is almost twice the bottom line. Not to mention doubling the credit, half the original base is not too much, right?
So, the Qin envoy happily agreed and praised King Wei for his magnanimity. Wei was worthy of being a great country in the Central Plains, with abundant resources, rich products, and a prosperous country and a strong people!
The person who flattered was an envoy of the State of Qin, which made King Wei of Wei feel very happy. He generously gave the envoy of the State of Qin a royal banquet at the Wei State's palace, and also rewarded two Wei state singers.
The Zhao girls are good at dancing, and the Wei girls are good at singing, which are famous all over the world.
The envoys of the State of Qin happily accepted the offer and said, "If you don't eat it, you won't get it for free. If you don't take it, you won't get it for free. All you have to do is report it when you return home."
Well... I heard that Lord Longyang was captured by a trap under Lord Chang'an. He benefited from this and sent a Wei singer singer back to express his gratitude.
…
Cheng Qiao still didn't know that the envoy of the Qin State planned to send him a singing girl from the Wei State, and was receiving a report from the Emperor of Chang'an outside the palace.
"Well done, I will mark your great achievement."
All three things have been accomplished by Hidden Sun, and Wei Zeng has agreed to cooperate.
This Wei Zeng is the king of Wei who said in the Nine Songs of Heaven that Wei had Wei Yong in literature and generals in military affairs. Even if he faced the powerful Qin, he had nothing to fear. He was relatively thin and tall, and he was the penultimate king of Wei.
The last king was named Wei Jia, the son of Wei Zeng. He only reigned for two or three years before the Qin State destroyed the Wei State.
Speaking of which, Wei Zeng is Honglian's uncle, his queen is Honglian's aunt, and Queen Mother Leling is Honglian's aunt. The reason why she is called grandma is because it is more intimate. After all, Queen Mother Leling and Honglian's mother are biological sisters.
Empress Dowager Leling was the queen of Wei Yu, and the biological mother of Wei Zeng. She was the legitimate son, but not the eldest son.
Queen Mother Leling had more than one son, Wei Zeng, and was not very close to Queen Mother Leling. However, after Wei Zeng's career as a prostitute ended, she suddenly emerged and won the favor of Wei Yu, and obtained the right to inherit. She reigned for about fourteen years.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Wei Zeng wants to see you."
Zhanri lowered his head slightly and bowed his hands.
"see me?"
"No need, tell him that I will meet him when the time is right."
"Um……"
Cheng Qiao pondered for a moment and felt that such a blunt refusal was not appropriate. After all, he was cooperating with the current situation, so he should give him some benefits to appease his heart.
"When you leave, ask Zhong Qian to go to Dianke Mansion in person with my name card and ask them to give Wei Zeng adequate treatment."
The proton's treatment was good at first, but as the hatred between countries deepened, it became worse and worse. Now, it is a blessing to be able to not be insulted, bullied, and have enough food and clothing.
According to the original regulations, the princes of the royal family are given the full treatment. It can only be said that everything is included in the dream...
"Here!"
