Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In short, after such a series of things happened, the king and ministers of Wei State were already very resistant to saving Zhao State.

If it weren't for Wei Wuji's desperate admonition, Wei Wangyu might have torn up the covenant with Zhao at this moment, and he was even going to take advantage of the fire to march into Zhao.

When Wei Wuji said this, he spread his hands helplessly, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, in your opinion, what should be the solution to this situation?"

When this sentence was asked, Zhao Sheng was also stopped by the question.

Zhao Sheng can also be regarded as a relatively self-aware person, knowing that he is not as good as Wei Wuji in terms of talent.

So the idea in Zhao Sheng's heart when he came to Wei State this time is actually very simple, that is to hug the thigh of his brother-in-law Xinling Lord Wei Wuji tightly, let him go to the front, and wave the flag behind him.

After all, Zhao Sheng's official wife is the sister born to Wei Wuji's mother, and the relationship between the siblings is very good. Zhao Sheng believes that Wei Wuji's brother-in-law will not lose the chain at such a critical moment, let alone cheat himself.

But now that Wei Wuji has said that this matter is difficult, what else can he do?

Zhao Sheng was stunned for a while, and finally he could only let out a helpless wry smile.

"Since that's the case, let's wait until I meet the King of Wei tomorrow, and then we can have a good breakup with him."

Chapter 36 Lord Pingyuan talks about King Wei (1)

In the early morning of the next day, the carriage carrying Mr. Pingyuan slowly drove into Daliang Palace under the guard of Wei soldiers.

As the most powerful prince when the three families divided Jin, Wei State has always regarded itself as the successor of Jin State.The state of Jin is a royal family of the Zhou Dynasty with the surname of Ji, and the country was founded on the virtue of fire and advocated red. Therefore, the state of Wei also admired red. Red bricks and tiles, red palaces and red walls can be seen everywhere in the palace city of Wei state, which can be called a red world.

But this so-called successor of the Jin Kingdom is actually very nonsense. After all, in the eyes of other vassal states in the world, this Jin Kingdom was usurped by you, Han, Zhao and Wei. What qualifications does your Wei Kingdom have to be called the successor of the Jin Kingdom?

This kind of behavior of Wei State is as nonsense as the European Germanic barbarians invaded the Western Roman Empire, established a nondescript "Holy Roman Empire" after destroying the Western Roman Empire, and then called themselves the heirs of Rome.

Of course, in this world, whoever has the strongest fist is the boss after all. In view of the fact that Wei State became the number one leader in the Warring States Period after Li Kui's reform in the early Warring States period, although the princes could not understand Wei State's behavior, this dislike The habit is limited to being unaccustomed to it, and the red color of Wei State has remained to this day.

In the center of the palace city of Wei State, which is composed of this red palace group, there is a 18-meter high platform with 120 three steps in total, and a magnificent red palace is built on the high platform. The Liang Palace where the National Congress was held.

Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng dressed in formal attire, stepped out of the carriage with a serious face, and walked into the Liang Palace accompanied by officials from the state of Wei who greeted him.

The Grand Court Conference is an occasion for discussing major national affairs, so there are two rows of ministers sitting neatly in the Liang Palace at this moment. When Zhao Sheng walked in, countless eyes fell on him in an instant. .

However, as the Xiangbang of the Zhao Kingdom, this situation is naturally not a problem for Zhao Sheng. I saw him walking forward unhurriedly, and bowed to the person at the top of the center: "Zhao Chen, Zhao Sheng, see Over the king!"

This is Wei Wangyu, the current monarch of Wei State. This Wei Wangyu is much older than his younger brother Pingyuan Lord. He is now in his 40s, although he does look a bit like Xinling Lord. similarities, but the expression of the whole person is rather gloomy, and his complexion is a little pale, looking like an excessive indulgence.

As the saying goes, the nine sons of a dragon are different. This sentence has been fully verified by Wei Wangyu and Xinling Lord Wei Wuji. One is a pure passerby and the other is a handsome guy.

Looking at Wei Wangyu's appearance, Zhao Sheng felt a little funny in his heart.Excessive sexual indulgence is actually not a problem for a king, but the problem is that the object of Wei Wangyu's excessive sexual indulgence is not the wives in the Wei King's palace, but a man.

Yes, man.

This male favorite of King Yu of Wei is Gao Ji who was named Lord Longyang of Wei State.

The idiom "Longyang is good" comes from this.

Of course Wei Wangyu didn't know that Zhao Sheng was full of complaints. The king of Wei State who had been on the throne for more than ten years calmly nodded to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, please sit down."

Zhao Sheng straightened up, went to the seat beside him and sat down.

Immediately after Zhao Sheng took his seat, a Minister of Wei State who was in charge of diplomacy asked, "I don't know why Mr. Pingyuan is here?"

The reason why Zhao Sheng came here, of course, the king and ministers of Wei Guo knew clearly, this sentence is actually a diplomatic rhetoric, what it really means is Zhao Sheng, you can start.

Zhao Sheng's body was slightly straight. At this time, as Zhao Guoxiangbang, he had to face the difficulties no matter whether he was sure in his heart or not.

So Zhao Sheng coughed, and said, "Today's victory to Daliang is really the battle of Changping. The husband of Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, is greedy and greedy for profit and has no faith, and does not know etiquette, justice and virtue. Also. Wei’s hometown of Hexi, the old capital of Anyi, all fell to Qin, which shows that Qin’s troubles are also in Wei.”

"Now that Qin is attacking the Shangdang, my king ordered Lian Po to send troops and reject them at Changping. Qin's all-powerful army is concentrated in Changping, and there is no time for him to take care of him. This is a good opportunity for Wei to take revenge! If Wei sends out an army to encircle the Qin people, Then the Qin army will definitely be defeated, and the day of Hexi's recovery is at hand!"

What Zhao Sheng said means that Qin is a country that is greedy like a tiger and a wolf, and has no regard for propriety, justice, and shame. This is the consensus of the world.

As far as Wei State is concerned, the Hexi land of your Wei State was taken away by Qin State, and even Anyi, the old capital of Wei State, fell. This shows the harm Qin State did to Wei State.

But now it’s all right, because the Qin people want to compete for the Shangdang, they have concentrated all the troops in Changping to confront Lian Po of our Zhao country. As long as you send troops to copy the back of the Qin people at this time, then the Qin people will undoubtedly lose.Once Qin is defeated, the time for you Wei to recover the land will naturally come!

It has to be said that no matter how Zhao Sheng is Zhao Guo's Xiangbang, and he has so many disciples under him, there are indeed a few people who can advise him, so what he said is indeed on the point.

No matter for any patriotic Wei people, the fall of the land of Hexi and the old capital of Anyi is definitely a shame and a shame, because that is the beginning of Wei's turn from prosperity to decline.

It is precisely because of the blows of Qi State in the east and Qin State in the west that Wei State has changed from being a leader in the Warring States Period to a second-rate country now.

This gap is like changing from the former Soviet Union to Russia. Even though dozens or even nearly a hundred years have passed, the Wei people have not forgotten the glory of the year.

Although it is said that the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling directed by Sun Bin, the ghostly military officer of Qi State, were the decisive battles that completely overthrew the overlord Wei State, but in the hearts of the people of Wei State, Qin State is actually more hateful than Qi State.

Because what Qi State owed to Wei State has already been recovered by Wei State while the Five Kingdoms were attacking Qi State, and Wei State even made some money after careful calculation.But what Qin State took away from Wei State, did not take back any of it.

You must know that what Qin State took away from Wei State was a full half of Wei State's land in its heyday!

Not only that, Qin State even sent troops to Wei State because of the uneven distribution of spoils when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, and forcibly took away a rich land called Taojun from Wei State.

After losing Tao Jun, the territory of Wei State, which was originally completely connected, was once again separated into two disjointed halves.

For the Wei people, this can be said to be a new hatred that has not been revenged.

But what about Wei Guo?No matter how angry and unwilling they are, the monarchs and subjects of Wei State and the people must admit helplessly that Wei State is no longer the invincible Wei State, and Qin State is no longer the little shou who was randomly manipulated by Wei State back then. Instead, it has become a behemoth that Wei Guo can't deal with at all.

But Zhao Sheng's words today gave Wei Guojun and ministers a hope.

Yes, it is indeed impossible for the State of Wei to single out the State of Qin, but what if another State of Zhao is added?

It is well known in the world that Qin and Zhao confronted Changping. If Wei Guo took the opportunity to send troops, would it be possible to stab the people of Qin and get something back from the people of Qin?

For a while, including Wei Wangyu, the minds of the monarchs and ministers of Wei State in the hall began to become a little more active.

But at this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"The words of Mr. Pingyuan are so absurd!"

Chapter 37 Lord Pingyuan talks about King Wei (2)

As soon as the words were spoken, the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Wei who had been prepared in the hall did not seem very surprised, but turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice, wanting to see which Wei it was. The Minister of State was the first to jump out to refute Mr. Pingyuan, the Xiangbang of Zhao Guo.

I saw that the Minister of Wei State who spoke was about forty years old. Although he was not wearing armor, his body was still as straight as a soldier, and his small eyes were shining brightly. It was Duan Gan, the senior official of Wei State. son.

When they saw that it was Duan Ganzi who was speaking, many ministers of Wei State present, especially the ministers of the main combat faction, showed somewhat disapproving expressions on their faces, and a few people showed their disdain very clearly. There were a few hums on his face.

Why is this so?Because this Duan Ganzi is an out-and-out pro-Qin faction and peace-seeking faction in Wei State.

Thirteen years ago, in 13 B.C., which was the fourth year of Wei Wangyu's accession to the throne, Wei Ran and Bai Qi, who were then prime ministers of Qin State, led the army of Qin State to aid South Korea, which was attacked by Zhao and Wei. The beheading of 273 Wei soldiers dealt a heavy blow to Wei.

After the Battle of Huayang, the allied forces of Qin and South Korea took advantage of the victory to pursue and conquered the three cities of Juan County, Caiyang, and Changshe in succession, and surrounded Daliang, the capital of Wei.
