Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Chapter 1 The idea of ​​the diners (Wan rewards plus more)

Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, has always been known as a corporal who is courteous and virtuous, eager for justice and righteous.

In fact, Lord Xinling was not the only one. During the entire Warring States period, many nobles liked to support scholars. Not only could they gain a reputation, but they could also find many right-hand men.

Among them, the so-called Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period are the most famous. Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, and Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan who were present were all one of them.

It is impossible for a person like Wei Wuji to remain indifferent when faced with his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng's request for help.

After all, Wei Wuji has always been a staunch supporter of Lian Zhao Kangqin.

In fact, in order to implement the strategic policy of Lian Zhao Kangqin, Wei Wuji has gone to the palace many times to persuade Wei Wangyu.

But the problem is that Wei Wangyu seems to have made up his mind to attack Zhao State under the persuasion of Longyang Army Gao Ji and Wei State Doctor Duan Ganzi, and he ignored Wei Wuji's persuasion.

According to the information that Wei Wuji got from the people close to Wei Wangyu in the palace, Wei Wangyu seemed to be just waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Once the battle situation in Changping changes, and Wei Wangyu confirms that Zhao State will lose to Qin State, the king of Wei State will order Wei State General Jin Bi to take advantage of the fire and attack Handan City.

The border between Zhao State and Wei State is the most affluent southeast plain in Zhao State. Wei State had coveted this area as early as when the three families divided into Jin.

It's just that although Wei Wuji already knew the news, he didn't tell Zhao Sheng about it.

After all, this is not good news for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Guo, and on the other hand, Wei Wuji also feels that the last moment is not yet reached, so maybe he can persuade Wei Wangyu to change his mind.

It's just that as time passed, Wei Wuji looked at his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng who appeared in front of his eyes like a dog's skin plaster every day, and felt more and more in his heart that this was nothing serious.

But Wei Wuji himself really has no good way to solve this problem, so what should he do?

The first way Wei Wuji thought of was, of course, to ask his disciples, the "scholars" raised by Wei Wuji.

As the saying goes, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.Wei Wuji has kept these diners for so many years, isn't it just to let them help Wei Wuji solve the problem at this time?

In fact, Wei Wuji's disciples are very powerful, especially in building an intelligence network. Thanks to the help of disciple Tang Qie and others, the intelligence system in Lord Xinling's Mansion can be said to be pervasive, even compared to Wei's official intelligence system. Even stronger.

An incident that happened a few years ago can be used as evidence.

At that time, Wei Wuji had just helped Wei Wangyu defeat Mengchang Juntian, forcing Tian to resign and return to the fief. The relationship between Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji reached the peak of the honeymoon period. The two brothers often met to discuss state affairs or have fun.

One day when Wei Wuji was playing chess with Wei Wangyu, someone came to Wei Wangyu in a hurry and reported: "There are a large number of Zhao troops on the border between Zhao and Wei. It seems that Zhao Guo wants to send troops to attack Wei Guo."

Wei Wangyu was naturally shocked when he heard this. You must know that Zhao Wang was Zhao Dan's father Zhao Huiwang at that time. If King Hui really sent troops to attack Wei, Wei would be in great trouble.

But when Wei Wangyu was scared to death, Wei Wuji, who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard, was calm and composed, and said to his own brother, the monarch, "Your Majesty is worry-free, King Zhao went out for a trip, and he must be a bandit."

When Wei Wangyu heard this, of course he didn't believe it.The widow is the king of Wei, who possesses the power of the entire Wei state, and he does not know how many capable men he has.

You Wei Wuji, a mere son, can know things that even the widows are not sure about?

So Wei Wangyu immediately ordered the mobilization of the army, and at the same time sent more scouts to investigate.

As a result, chickens and dogs danced for a long time, and the scouts of Wei State came to report: "Return to the king, King Zhao is out on a trip, and he is not a bandit."

It is exactly the same as what Wei Wuji just said.

But the problem is that Wei Wuji knew the news several hours earlier than the Wei Guo scouts under Wei Wangyu!

At this moment, Wei Wangyu was really shocked, and hurriedly asked Wei Wuji: "How did you know, my lord?"

At this time, Wei Wuji was still very young, so he said very frankly: "Among the servants of the ministers, there are those who can win the affairs of the King of Zhao. What the King of Zhao did, the guests always repay the minister. Therefore, the matter of Zhao Wangyou, the minister has already done it a few days ago." I know."

When Wei Wangyu heard this, a chill came directly from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

This Wei Wuji actually made the intelligence network so deep and developed that he could know the every move of Zhao Huiwang who is far away in Handan in advance. Then Wei Wangyu, the monarch who is so close and even meets Wei Wuji every day, wouldn't it be a night? How many times have you had sex with my concubine, and Wei Wuji figured it out for a few minutes each time?

This is simply too scary!

From this day on, Wei Wangyu made up his mind, began to alienate Wei Wuji, and supported political enemies to fight against Wei Wuji.

Therefore, if a person does not show his talents in front of the leaders, he will definitely not be reused by the leaders, but if he shows his talents so much that even the leaders are afraid, that is not a good thing.

The price the young Wei Wuji paid for this was quite heavy.

Even so, Wei Wuji did not give up raising scholars because of this.

On the contrary, as Wei Wuji's fame grew, more and more people came to join him because of his reputation, and there were many capable people among them.

The reason why Wei Wuji was able to stand in the court of Wei State for many years without Wei Wangyu not wanting to see him was that Wei Wuji's own ability was of course the main factor, but the retainers and staff he raised also played a big role.

But when it comes to how to persuade Wei Wangyu to change his mind, Wei Wuji's disciples have no good solution.

After all, Wei Wangyu's distrust of Wei Wuji has almost reached the point where Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone. No matter how reasonable Wei Wuji's words are, they will be given a big discount on Wei Wangyu's side.

With such a realistic situation, it is really difficult to convince Wei Wangyu.

In the midst of a gloomy atmosphere, someone came up with an idea.

"Although we can't relieve Your Majesty's worries, since the world is so big and there are so many capable people, there must be capable people who can relieve Your Majesty's worries."

This sentence instantly awakened everyone present, so everyone used their brains to try to remember, racking their brains to think of what kind of person could have this ability to help Mr. Xinling solve this trouble.

As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood with high flames, Lord Xinling's disciples really found a possible candidate after summing up.

This person's name is Hou Ying.

And at today's banquet, besides the host Wei Wuji and distinguished guest Zhao Sheng, the other guy who was qualified to attend and ate and drank there was precisely this Hou Ying.

Chapter 1 The Pretentious Hermit

At this moment, the white-haired, thin, shabby old man sitting on the left side of the head of the great hall, with a somewhat unrestrained look, was Hou Ying.

This Hou Ying is a hermit.

Wang Kangju once said in his anti-Zhaoyin poem: "The small hermit hides in the mausoleum, and the big hermit hides in the morning market."

Hou Ying is such a wonderful person hidden in the court market.

There are eight gates in Daliang City, and Hou Ying acts as a prisoner in one of the gates called "Yimen". This prisoner is responsible for leading a team to check out people, carriages, goods, etc. Position, to put it bluntly, is a janitor.

The 70-year-old Hou Ying has just gotten into such a position as a janitor. It can be said that his life in this life is quite unsatisfactory.

In fact, Hou Ying's family background can be described as penniless.

But although Hou Ying is poor, his reputation is not small. When he was young, he was the idol of the rangers in Daliang City. When he was old, he turned into a behind-the-scenes think tank. I have taught many of these younger disciples, and the disciples have benefited a lot.

Generally speaking, this Hou Ying is a bit similar to the classic white-bearded grandfather who is a must-have in fantasy novels.

It is precisely because of this that when Wei Wuji's disciples have nothing to do about the predicament Wei Wuji is facing now, many disciples think of Hou Ying, and then recommend Hou Ying to Wei Wuji.
