In the thirty-fourth year of King Wei's reign, this was the most painful year for Wei. In this year, the king of the Wei people and the beliefs of the Wei people left this world one after another. Everyone in the beam was crying,
In mourning for their king, Lord Longyang stood blankly in front of King Wei's bed, looking dull and saying nothing. King Wei's life was very complicated. A long time ago, he and Lord Xinling were very close friends.
A pair of good brothers.
He protected his brother at all times, and Lord Xinling respected his brother even more.
After the King of Wei ascended the throne, he named his younger brother Xinling Lord. At the same time, he thought about how to revitalize the Wei State, attack Yan and save Zhao, seize the land east of Hedong, and attack all the land of Tao Wei. He also added troops to Qi, privately pacified the capital of Lu, and attacked Han.
Extubation is better than Qixia... The king of Wei put his mind on the war, and achieved many victories, so that the princes did not dare to despise the state of Wei. When Lord Xinling grew up, his reputation increased day by day, and his followers
There are countless people who often compare him to the King of Wei.
In terms of bravery, intelligence, and courage, the King of Wei seems to be inferior to his younger brother. When this kind of statement becomes more and more popular, when the ministers respect Lord Xinling more than they respect him as the King of Wei, when the King of Wei grows up as his younger brother.
After feeling inferior in front of him, King Wei wanted to prove his power and became even more powerful. He began to become irritable and constantly challenged the powerful Qin State to prove his talents. However, successive failures made King Wei red.
Blinded.
He has lost his patience and wants to see results in the shortest possible time. He has lost his mind. As long as it is proposed by Lord Xinling, he will definitely reject it. Even if it is correct, he must prove that he
He is more powerful than his younger brother and more suitable to be the king of Wei. In the eyes of Long Yangjun, the once powerful, humorous, gentle, and ambitious King of Wei disappeared, replaced by a jealous and
A monster kneaded by low self-esteem.
But Lord Long Yang still loved him as always.
Just as King Wei always loved him and Lord Xinling... Lord Longyang knew that King Wei had been living in tangles. When Lord Xinling rushed to Zhao, he always woke up at night.
Then he told Lord Longyang that he dreamed that Lord Xinling was bullied... If Lord Xinling had been more mediocre, or if King Wei had been more outstanding, maybe they would have been the two brothers talked about by everyone and continue to fight for the country of Wei.
Strive for strength.
Xinlingjun is like a child who has not grown up. He expresses his dissatisfaction with his brother through the things he hates most, alcoholism, and accuses his brother of his behavior. Perhaps, he has been waiting for his brother to behave like he did when he was a child.
He took the wine bag from his hand, then scolded him and told him not to drink anymore. Unfortunately, they could not reconcile until the end of their lives. Before the death of King Wei, when he heard about his brother's death,
According to the news, he was almost crazy.
Self-blame, regret, pain, and despair, he fell into a sea of pain at the last moment of his life and died immediately.
When Long Yangjun shed tears and raised his head to look at the sky, he seemed to see his elder brother holding his younger brother's hand, walking away into the distance talking and laughing.
For Long Yangjun, all the happy years are over, and his life is frozen at this moment. That night, he picked up the dagger countless times, but finally put it down. It's not that he didn't dare,
He just remembered the instructions given by King Wei before his death to protect Wei State. There are not many talents in Wei State today. After the death of Lord Xinling, the only person left who can take charge of affairs in the country is Lord Long Yang.
people.
If Lord Long Yang leaves at this moment, the Wei State will definitely fall into chaos. The son Zeng who should inherit the throne is still in Qin State at this moment.
Lord Longyang endured the severe pain, arranged the funeral of King Wei, and sent people to the Kingdom of Wei to ask the prince to return to the Kingdom of Wei and inherit the throne.
But in Lord Xinling's mansion, it was extremely joyful at the moment. The guests were sitting in the courtyard. They were laughing, drinking wine, and joking, as if Lord Xinling was still sitting among them, and they had free time.
After taking the position of Lord Xinling, they all toasted to Lord Xinling. Most of them had tears on their faces, but they were still smiling. This strange situation lasted for more than ten days, and everyone in Wei was stunned. Xinling
Lord Ling passed away, but his followers were drinking and having fun??
Different from the sad atmosphere in Daliang, the atmosphere here has always been so happy. Under such joy, it is difficult for people to even think that Lord Xinling has left.

Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion
Lu Buwei looked at the Wei envoy in front of him. The Wei envoy was wearing plain clothes and his eyes were red and swollen. He had obviously been crying all the way. After paying homage to Lu Buwei, he informed him of the death of King Wei and explained the purpose of his visit.
, he wanted to take Young Master Zeng back. Lu Buwei sighed, and then said: "Please show your condolences. I will send someone to Wei to mourn. Wei Jun is a wise king that I admire..."
Lu Buwei talked a lot of nonsense, but did not mention the matter of Gong Zeng. The messenger mentioned it again, and Lu Buwei said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to report Gong Zeng and let him go back and inherit the throne." Listen.
After hearing Lu Buwei's words, the envoy felt at ease. What he had been worried about before was that the Qin State would not let people go. Of course, it is very common for a hostage to return to inherit the throne. There are very few people who refuse to let a hostage go back to the country.
However, the Qin State was famous for its treachery. The Wei people did not dare to guess what they could do if they could seize the king of another country while taking advantage of the alliance.
After appeasing the envoy, Lu Buwei asked the warriors to take him to rest, and then he called those who served Gong Zeng. After the warriors who were ordered to protect Gong Zeng appeared in front of him, Lu Buwei asked:
"What kind of person is Master Zeng? What does he do in his daily life? Has he ever said anything?" A warrior replied: "Prime Minister, Master Zeng is a timid person and never dares to argue with others..."
"Prime Minister, Young Master Zeng studies with the king in Wu Chengjun's school on weekdays. The rest of the time, he sits in the mansion and does nothing..."
"Prime Minister, Young Master Zeng is silent and rarely talks. He never says much."
When Lu Buwei heard this, he shook his head and said helplessly: "Wu Chengjun... Why does he always train these monarchs of other countries?" For Lu Buwei, the princes of other countries should naturally be as stupid as possible.
Everyone hates King Han, and they all hate Hou Sheng, Guo Kai, but Lu Buwei likes them very much. They hope that other countries can have more such kings. It is best that the kings of all countries are virtuous kings like King Han. Finally,
Fortunately, their ministers are all wise men like Hou Sheng Guo Kai.
As for the Qin State, it only needs a few more ordinary people like King Zhaoxiang and Lord Wu Cheng.
And Gongzi Zeng studied with Wu Chengjun, which made Lu Buwei a little afraid. He thought for a long time, and finally decided to release Gongzi Zeng and return to Wei State. If Gongzi Zeng could not go back, it would have no impact on Wei State. The King of Wei not only had one more Gongzi Zeng
Son, on the other hand, this young master Zeng's usual timidity does not seem to be disguised. Even if he deliberately hides his cowardice, it will have no impact on the long-standing weak Wei State, unless he can
Take Wu Chengjun back with you.
When Prince Zeng was having dinner with the King of Qin and others, a warrior found him and told him the news of his father's death.
Young Master Zeng was stunned. He was a little at a loss. He looked at everyone blankly and let his tears fall. Seeing his appearance, King Qin stood up helplessly and said, "My condolences." Qi, who was sitting next to him, stood up helplessly.
, Dan and others also expressed their condolences one after another. Young Master Zeng did not speak. He lowered his head and wiped away his tears. Only then did the warrior say: "Please be prepared and return to the Kingdom of Wei."
"Go home..." Gongzi Zeng said, but his face became increasingly sad, but did he still have a home?
In order for Gongzi Zeng to return to Wei in time to inherit the throne, the warriors did not give him much time. Both Zheng and Qi were somewhat reluctant to leave Gongzi Zeng. During these days, they spent all day
At the same time, their feelings for each other are also very deep... Qin Wangzheng gave Zeng a short sword, which Qin Wangzheng got when he was young. He liked the sword very much, and Qi Ze gave him a dagger.
In the "Ma Fu Shu" annotated by Han Fei, Dan had little financial resources and was so anxious that he finally gave him a crown.
After thanking his friends, he went to the classroom to say goodbye to Zhao Kuo.
"Alas..." After hearing the bad news, Zhao Kuo looked at Zeng in front of him and stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears. Zhao Kuo said to him seriously: "People always have to leave, but we can't always leave.
Immersed in pain, we must continue to live with the ideals of our ancestors and pass them on to the next generation. This is the meaning of life... After you go back and inherit the throne, you must treat your people well and do not let down the high expectations of your ancestors.
..We must implement benevolent and righteous policies..."
"Teacher..." Zeng couldn't help crying.
"Okay, don't be sad. Although your father has left, you still have Father Zhong in the country. You won't feel lonely. Your Father Zhong, he is a very powerful person... Go back, you are Wei Guo
The king, I want to be a wise king... Let the people of Wei live a good life... I want to be a strong and good man, a good king..." Zhao Kuo said for a long time, this
Then he gave him the books he had annotated.
Zhao Kuo knew his disciples well. Among his disciples, Zeng was the one with the lowest self-esteem. Probably because he left home to be a hostage at a young age, Zeng became very timid, inferior, and even a little arrogant.
Zhao Kuo often encouraged him. Zhao Kuo never regarded him as a prince, but as his own student, constantly helping him. Now that this student was about to leave, Zhao Kuo felt a little reluctant to leave him.
Zeng said goodbye to everyone, got on the carriage, and set off towards the Kingdom of Wei.
Sitting on the carriage, the new king of the Wei people wiped away his tears. He stared in the direction of Wei and looked at the gifts on the carriage. He said nothing and the warriors did not dare to disturb him. He was sitting in the carriage.
I read the horse service book. When the carriage passed through Qin and South Korea and arrived at the border of Wei, I could see a group of people waiting here from a distance. Wei Zeng hurriedly asked the warriors to slow down.
Lord Longyang stood here with his ministers, waiting for Wei Zeng's arrival. When Wei Zeng got off the carriage and came to them, Lord Longyang was the first to bend down and salute. The other ministers all bowed to see Wei Zeng.
He was a little uneasy at first and was stunned for a moment, then he quickly returned the greeting. Long Yangjun looked at the young King Wei. The appearance of King Wei was more similar to Lord Xinling. He stood in front of Lord Long Yang, and Lord Long Yang looked at him.
It seemed like I saw Lord Xinling in his youth.
Wei Zeng looked around and asked, "Where is Father Zhong? Why didn't he come?"
The corners of Long Yangjun's mouth trembled and he was speechless.
............
After Lord Xinling passed away, Lian Po had no friends in Wei. He returned to his mansion, but he was hesitating in his heart whether to leave Wei. In Wei, he no longer had any worries, and even
There is no reason to stay. If he leaves, where should he go? To Chu? Lian Po smiled bitterly. He didn't even know a word of Chu language, and the language of Chu was so difficult to learn. He went to Chu to do it by himself.
what?
Lian Po sat in the courtyard purchased by Lord Xinling for him, waiting alone.
He wanted to leave the Chu State, but he didn't want to leave the Zhao State too far. He had been a Zhao person all his life and was used to it.
King Zhao's envoy came once, and Lian Po also showed him his bravery. He should have gone back a long time ago, right? King Zhao also probably knows his situation, and they will send someone to let me go back soon.
Lian Po sat in the courtyard, thinking about this all day long. Time passed day by day, and some time passed before the envoy visited him, but Lian Po still did not wait for the envoy from Zhao.
Lian Po stared in the direction of the door. He rarely went out these days. Most of the time, he sat here, waiting for the messenger from King Zhao. He became a little lethargic and always felt sleepy.
, Wanting to sleep, Lian Po was very surprised. On weekdays, he never slept during the day. Even if he stayed up late to fight, he would not feel sleepy. Has he become so weak after just one year after leaving the military camp?
Lian Po always recalled the past, the wars he had experienced, and his friends.
He remembered the arrogant Zhao She. Zhao She valued his soldiers very much, but despised the ministers of the same dynasty. Therefore, Zhao She always quarreled with Tian Dan, and the two quarreled fiercely. After Le Yi came to Zhao,
Basically, they stopped talking about war and just sat in the mansion reading the Art of War all day. The debate between myself, Zhao She, Tian Dan, and Le Yi was really interesting. Unfortunately, no one recorded that debate.
Come down.
It would be great if Han Fei was still here... Hahaha, if only I, Wei Wuji, Zhao Kuo, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Zhao She, and Li Mu could sit together, plus Bai Qi, Meng Ao, and
Jingyang, Pang Nuan and the others, how wonderful it would be if they all debate together.
Well...why hasn't King Zhao's envoy arrived yet?
Lian Po lowered his head in a daze, sleepiness completely occupying his mind. Lian Po breathed slowly, his head drooped, and his eyes slowly closed.
"General!"
A sudden exclamation made Lian Po wake up suddenly. Lian Po's eyes widened. Was it the envoy from the State of Zhao?
At some point, warriors stood around Lian Po. Unfortunately, these warriors were all from Wei. And right in the middle of these warriors stood a young man. The young man looked at Lian Po with respect.
Suddenly he came to greet him, and Lian Po struggled to get up and returned the salute to him. The young man said: "I know the reputation of General Lian Po, so I came to invite you to be the general of Wei and command all the armies of Wei. Please don't
decline!"
Lian Po was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
