Chapter 176 The widow also wants to be the king of the world
Daliang
The palace of King Wei was very lively. Under the music played by the musicians, the officials carefully looked at the wine cups in front of them. Looking at the King of Wei sitting on the throne, tears filled their eyes. There were many officials sitting in the palace of King Wei, but
Most of them are local officials and are not qualified to sit here. Even entering Daliang requires an order from King Wei, let alone becoming King Wei's guest.
The King of Wei looked at these officials tangledly. Mr. Pingyuan sat next to the King of Wei, raised his wine cup, and frequently drank with the officials. The officials here all have political achievements, some big, some small, and some.
After suppressing the local thieves and reclaiming some farmland, Lord Pingyuan specially called these meritorious officials to Daliang and asked King Wei to entertain them. The officials sat in the palace, naturally very excited.
For people in this era, the greatest reward is not promotion, let alone getting rich, but respect. Being respected by others is the greatest reward. It is probably because of this that one can respect anyone.
Lord Mafu has become a recognized great sage today... And Lord Pingyuan, like Lord Mengchang, is also able to respect others. This banquet between him and King Wei is more precious than a treasure worth thousands of gold.
These officials who were able to attend the banquet regarded this as an honor. As early as when they entered the palace, they made an oath to repay the kindness of King Wei and Lord Pingyuan. The so-called kindness was just a banquet.
While Lord Pingyuan was chatting enthusiastically with these people, King Wei said nothing. He only served in very simple clothes and did not even have a sword. The palace seemed a little empty.
Sure enough, after rewarding all his own things, Lord Pingyuan treated himself as a reward. King Wei felt that he was no different from a dancing girl. In Lord Pingyuan, he was reduced to the point where he had to accompany others to drink.
King Wei took a sip of wine with an expressionless expression. Facing another official who was crying and saying that he wanted to die for him, he put on a professional fake smile and helped him up.
Speaking of which, he now regrets his rashness. He should not have listened to that old man Pang. If he had not kept Lord Pingyuan, he would not have become the prime minister of the Wei State. If he had not become the prime minister of the Wei State, he would
Wouldn't have fallen to where we are now...
The banquet lasted for a long time, and King Wei was exhausted from the tossing. He finally sent away the officials. Lord Pingyuan generously made a promise to them. The Lord had raised a lot of good horses, and later the two or three sons could ride them away.
Horses, the officials came forward to express their gratitude again. King Wei's face twitched, but he still did not speak and gave a fake smile. They were just a few horses...
"Mr. Pingyuan..." King Wei looked at Zhao Sheng who was sitting respectfully in front of him, and said with a smile: "After you became the Prime Minister of Wei State, the officials of Wei State worked together, and in just one year, they achieved great results in all aspects.
It has achieved great results, and I am very grateful to you... However, I am very tired from hosting banquets every day, so please allow me to rest for a while, how about it?"
Zhao Sheng said helplessly: "In this regard, you cannot compare with King Zhao. King Zhao can hold banquets for ten consecutive days without feeling tired. You are only here for a few days. Your Majesty, Ma Fujun said,
Official administration is the basis for governing the country. Now the officials of the Wei State have received your kindness and are willing to serve you with all their strength. This is exactly the way to make the Wei State strong and prosperous."
"haha, yes."
King Wei smiled, "Why don't you harm King Zhao if you have such a good way?"
"Pingyuan Jun, the horses I have are all good horses obtained from Zhao and Qin... Alas, I am not reluctant to part with them, but I only have more than a hundred good horses. I am worried. You
If the division continues like this, the later officials will not be rewarded and will resent you for disrespecting them..."
"Sir, please don't worry. I heard that you have more than a dozen fine carriages and many exquisite boats... By the way, you also have a group of dancing girls..."
King Wei took a breath of air, and then asked with a smile: "Have you ever missed home after being away from Zhao for so long?"
...........
It was impossible to send Pingyuan Jun away. Although King Wei felt heartbroken, Pingyuan Jun's achievements were indelible. In Wei State, Pingyuan Jun used gentle means to rectify the officialdom and recommended his own retainers to serve as officials.
The officials and his disciples were all virtuous people. King Wei himself became poor, but the food in the treasury increased. King Wei also became closer to Lord Pingyuan, just like he treated his own friends.
"I heard that Lord Ma Fu was held hostage by King Han..." King Wei just spoke, and Zhao Sheng shook his head and said disdainfully: "How could King Han hold Lord Ma Fu hostage? I think this is just Fan Ju's plan.
, Even if the King of Han ordered the Koreans to kill Ma Fujun, the Koreans would never do it." Zhao Sheng said, and couldn't help but think of the young man from Zhao State.
At first, his reputation began to spread, and everyone just thought that he was good at fighting. But later, his benevolent and righteous deeds came out one by one, and even Zhao Sheng was alarmed. Zhao Sheng thought that except for Lord Mengchang and Lord Chunshen,
Lord Xinling, in addition to himself, was going to give birth to a gentleman who would be famous all over the world. However, he did not expect that in just a few years, his identity would change and his reputation would even surpass his own.
This is not a new Pingyuan Jun, this is another Xunzi...
What makes people speechless is that this world-famous sage is not yet thirty years old! He is proficient in war and political affairs. It can be said that he is the most outstanding talent that has emerged in Zhao State in recent years. How can such a person be Zhao
Where is She's son? Why not mine? Zhao Sheng thought this, and couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed old. Now Zhao Kuo's reputation has spread throughout the world, even in Wei State, there are always people talking about it
Ma Fujun, his words are full of praise.
King Wei asked: "Then what should we do?"
"Continue to train our soldiers. No matter which country Qin wants to attack, we must help them..."
After sending Pingyuan Jun away, Longyang Jun walked into the palace and sat directly in the arms of King Wei. King Wei hugged him and said tiredly: "Pingyuan Jun... is a capable minister. It's a pity that
Ah, if I can get Lord Ma Fu to come and help me again...how can I not succeed in revitalizing the great cause of the Wei State?" Long Yangjun chuckled and said, "I heard that Lord Ma Fu has no official position in the State of Zhao.
, you can invite him to come to Wei State."
"Doesn't he know how to govern the country? Officials can learn from his knowledge, and perhaps the official system he proposed can be established in the Wei State..." After hearing Long Yangjun's words, the King of Wei was stunned for a moment.
Said: "How can this be done?" Long Yangjun continued: "I heard that the stones on other mountains can be used to carve jade. Now the Qin State has used the stones from Zhao to carve its own jade.
, why can’t we?”
"Learn what is feasible from his theory of governing the country and correct the aspects that are not conducive to Wei. If you want to revitalize Wei, how can you not know this truth?"
The King of Wei thought thoughtfully, smiled, and then said: "Okay, I also want to see this Lord Ma Fu, so I invite him to come to the Kingdom of Wei. If I can keep him in the Kingdom of Wei... Hahaha~~"
King Wei laughed loudly, hugged Long Yangjun in his arms, and said seriously: "Even if I am asked to hold a banquet every day, I will not complain!"
Only then did Lord Longyang remember something, and hurriedly broke away from King Wei's arms, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I almost forgot, there is news from the State of Zhao, saying that Lord Xinling was assassinated in the State of Zhao.
..I don’t know if it’s true or not…I’ve sent someone to find out.” King Wei’s expression changed drastically, he stood up suddenly and said, “What did you say? Assassinated!? This is how Zhao Dan treated him.
..”
Seeing that King Wei became irritable, Lord Longyang stood up in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the people I sent have not heard the accurate news yet... With King Zhao's temperament, Lord Xinling should not
Things like this will happen.”
"Well..." King Wei nodded.
Lying on the bed, King Wei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Just as he fell asleep, a little boy appeared in front of him, crying for his brother. King Wei was awakened again and looked at the sleeping Long Yangjun beside him. King Wei was sitting
On the bed, he covered his forehead with his hands and sighed.
But at this moment, Mr. Xinling was lying on the bed, drunkenly drinking wine, and two beautiful beauties were massaging his body. It was such a happy day. Sure enough, as soon as he was assassinated, King Zhao became angry again.
They couldn't sit still anymore. Although they did not directly punish Zhao Bao and others, they did not dare to kill Wei Wuji's people at will. Those officials who went to various places could also save their lives.
Wei Wuji knew exactly what Zhao Bao wanted to do. After all, there were people from Wei Wuji beside Zhao Bao. What Wei Wuji wanted to do in Zhao State now was to replace the nobles with officials.
The most thorough one is probably the Qin State. Although the nobles of the Qin State are noble because of their status, if they have no talent, they will not hold important official positions. Especially in counties and counties, the nobles are almost non-existent.
.
The ministers in the counties and counties were all capable ministers promoted by the King of Qin. They had sufficient qualifications and the ability to do things. This was a change that took the power of the country away from the hands of the nobles. Wei Wuji left Wei State.
After Zhao Sheng left the State of Zhao, both of them no longer had to hide their talents, as if they had been released from a bondage. When Zhao Sheng was in the State of Zhao, he could only hide his clumsiness because he was afraid that King Zhao would worry too much, showing a look of eagerness for fame at all costs.
.
As for Wei Wuji, he drank and had fun all day long in the Kingdom of Wei. Well, he was not pretending. He was indeed a good drinker. But at first, he drank just to reassure King Wei. Now, Zhao Sheng can put aside his pursuit of fame.
But Wei Wuji couldn't put down the wine cup in his hand.
If Wei Wuji were in the Wei State, he probably would not dare to implement reforms so freely. After all, the nobles in the Wei State are no less than those in the Zhao State, and most of them are close relatives of Wei Wuji. But in the Zhao State, he does not have much scruples
What's more, he was also very interested in the method Zhao Kuo said to save the world. Wei Wuji was lying on the bed, he was never afraid of his enemies, no matter how powerful they were.
However, they also have their own fatal shortcomings. Unlike the nobles in the past, they do not have strong military force and can even fight against the king. Now they just place their hopes on King Zhao and use some villain methods to deal with themselves.
However, he relied on the power of the entire Zhao Kingdom, and the nobles were unstoppable. However, it was a bit troublesome to deal with it. After all, Wei Wuji could not execute them all.
.......
"Wei Wuji must leave the Kingdom of Zhao." Zhao Bao said seriously. This time, he did not set up a banquet. He vaguely felt that Wei Wuji seemed to know the results of their negotiations. He did not dare to call everyone again.
He suspected that someone had betrayed him, so this time, he just called a few of his close friends to the house, and in a hidden room, they discussed the countermeasures against Wei Wuji, or the reform.
"We must deal with Wei Wuji before Ma Fujun returns to Zhao... If Ma Fujun comes back, with Ma Fujun's protection, we will not be able to deal with Wei Wuji..." Someone said, Chang'an Jun looked at them in confusion, he
Some people understand whether this Ma Fujun is a friend or an enemy. If he is an enemy, when these people talk about Ma Fujun, their eyes are full of admiration and they make no secret of their fanatical pursuit of Ma Fujun.
If we call them friends, I heard that this Mr. Ma Fu was a good friend of Wei Wuji and supported the reform.
The same was true for Zhao Bao. He did not hide his respect for Ma Fujun, but he also hated the reform. Zhao Bao narrowed his eyes and whispered his plan...
At this moment, Zhao Kuo also left Korea. He wanted to take the rest of the Zhao soldiers back to Zhao. The King of Han was very reluctant. He really wanted Zhao Kuo to stay with him and ask him for more knowledge.
, Zhang Ping was a little confused. He tried hard to persuade the emperor on weekdays, but the emperor was indifferent. Why did the emperor's changes become so huge after Ma Fujun punched him?
Zhao Kuo had no way to stay in South Korea. Before leaving, he told the King of Han: If anything happens, please follow Zhang Ping's advice, don't act recklessly, and put national affairs first.
The King of Han stood at the gate of Xinzheng, watching Zhao Kuo lead the army to leave. He was unwilling to go back until there was no trace of Zhao Kuo. Zhang Ping stood beside him. This was the first time he saw the king treat a person.
Speaking of such respect, he felt a little sour in his heart, but he quickly dismissed this thought. Ma Fujun saved Han Han, how could he be jealous of him? King Han looked into the distance, sighed, and then asked:
"Zhang Xiang... do you think it is possible for a few people to rule the world?"
Zhang Ping coughed violently. He looked at the ambitious King of Han in surprise, his eyes widened, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "This...I don't know..."
"Then are you willing to help a few people rule the world and end the war?"
........
As soon as Zhao Kuo's army left Korea, it was stopped. To be precise, it was blocked by the enemy.
Several officials from the State of Qin, holding bamboo slips, stopped Zhao Kuo's carriage. Soon, they were brought to Zhao Kuo by Fu Zhao. The Qin officials looked at Zhao Kuo in front of them with reverence and hurriedly took out the bamboo slips.
Asked: "Mr. Ma Fu...there are still a few things we don't understand about the principles of the law..."
The disciples were stunned. If we remember correctly, Qin State and Ma Fujun are at war now, right???
