and leave

Before coming back, everyone thought that there would be no way to do good this time, but no one expected to receive such an imperial edict.

Not to mention juniors like Wei Jingrong and Lu Yiqing, but General Wei, who had seen too many turmoil, was stunned after receiving the imperial edict.But he was sober after all, and he didn't really relax because of this imperial decree.

After receiving the imperial decree, General Wei turned his head and said to his son: "Although this imperial decree is a compliment, we have to discuss a charter as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble when the news from Qin State reaches Chang'an." .”

The virtues of Emperor Yankang, when the former chief assistant was alive, the courtiers may not be clear.But now he has really taken over the government for a few years. Although he is still in power because of King Xiang, one can get a glimpse from the occasional decree - he is a cowardly, short-sighted and greedy person.Four years ago, in a great battle in the Northwest, the people under King Xiang were defeated because of greed for food and pay for the Mowei Army, and many of them were killed.At that time, Emperor Yankang took the opportunity to seize a lot of power, but the people in the household department and military department changed, and the Wei family army still failed to get enough food and pay.

Why is this so?Is it because the blood shed by the fallen officials was not red enough?Of course not, it was just because the Wei family army still repelled the Qin State's invasion under such circumstances, so some people felt lucky.

What some people are referring to is Emperor Yankang, in other words, the person who is now greedy for the food and salaries of the Wei family army has already changed from the Xiangwang party to the emperor.

General Wei has guarded the border for many years, but if he can achieve his official position, even if he is not in Chang'an all the year round, he will be somewhat noticeable.Therefore, he knew clearly the ups and downs in Chang'an City, and after seeing the corruption of the imperial court, he completely embarked on the current road.

As a major general, Wei Jingrong naturally knew all these things, so he understood what the other party meant as soon as he heard what General Wei had said.Frowning slightly, his face showed displeasure, and finally he said patiently: "Father, wait a moment, I'll go and worry about everyone's discussion."

Not long after, a lot of people gathered in the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, all of them were generals of the Wei Family Army who had just returned home and were recalled.

The only person outside the barracks is probably Lu Yiqing.However, she was well prepared for this discussion, and the generals of the Wei Family Army did not show any surprise when they saw her coming, but instead greeted her one after another—no way, the entire Wei Family Army was supported by her before that Well, even the most bad-tempered general in the army would not dare to offend this God of Wealth.

A long table was placed in the meeting room, and there were more than ten chairs on the left and right sides, all of whom were the confidantes of General Wei.He didn't exchange greetings when he saw everyone arrived, he just put the imperial decree he had just received on the table, and said straight to the point: "This is the imperial decree sent from Chang'an City. Your Majesty did not send troops to question us privately, but in the imperial decree." What a compliment."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the audience were different.

Some are flat, some are disdainful, and some are silly and happy when they can't figure out the situation.

The plainness and disdain are naturally derived from the disappointment of the emperor and the court over the years, and the smart people have seen through the emperor's greed, so they don't take this imperial decree that has nothing but verbal praise in their eyes.

However, the one who spoke first was still confused about the situation, so he heard a simple and honest voice saying: "Isn't this good? I thought we would come back after winning the battle."

As soon as these words came out, many people looked over speechlessly, and the general who spoke was so frightened that he shut his mouth.

General Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him, tapped twice on the spread imperial decree with his fingertips, and asked: "What do you all think about this imperial decree, you might as well tell them all, so that we can prepare for the future. "

Indistinctly, everyone heard something strange from these words. The smart people looked at each other, and felt that some unspoken things seemed to be completely exposed... Some people were nervous, some were excited, some hesitated, but no one Take the initiative to speak.

Under such circumstances, Wei Jingrong was the most suitable person to answer the conversation. He immediately stood up and said, "Since all the generals have nothing to say, let my nephew say a few words first. This edict came unexpectedly, but To put it bluntly, I am afraid that everyone here understands what kind of person His Majesty is. We must have promised a lot of conditions when we went to the capital of Qin, and the envoys of Qin entered Chang'an to seek peace. I didn't wait for the imperial edict, and the reason why this imperial edict was sent is probably because of the slow news from Chang'an."

Everyone was silent, but most of them agreed by looking at their expressions. After all, everyone knew Emperor Yankang's Pixiu temper.

Wei Jingrong glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Father invited everyone to come to discuss the matter, and the discussion is how to deal with the imperial court's criticism. After all, when the news of our withdrawal came back to Chang'an, the imperial court's bamboo basket was empty. I'm afraid it won't be the attitude it is now."

After speaking, his voice was deliberately depressed by two points, and it fell heavily on the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.After a while, someone finally couldn't bear it and asked, "If that's the case, then what's the major general's plan?"

Wei Jingrong lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, but it seemed that he didn't want to speak again.

At this time, General Wei couldn't take the initiative to say anything, so it seemed that Lu Yiqing was the only one who could help Wei Jingrong speak.Her clear voice sounded: "The emperor is greedy, and all he wants is money. This place in the northwest is so remote, and the Qin State only has a large desert and Gobi grassland, and the Liang State does not need such a land."

The words are so clear that everyone will naturally not understand - if they want to continue to live in peace with the court, what they need to pay is naturally the spoils they got from this trip.But it was the result of everyone's real swords and guns, who would be willing to give up like this? !

Most of the generals were dissatisfied, and some even had a bad temper and immediately slapped the table: "Why?! Our Wei family army hasn't eaten the military rations of the imperial court for many years. This time we finally went to Qin to get some I didn’t even ask the imperial court for a needle or a thread. Why should the brothers finally get some benefits after winning the battle, and send them to that stupid king?!”

These words can be regarded as touching the hearts of everyone, but this man's next sentence pushed Lu Yiqing to the forefront of the storm, and he said: "Now we are all raised by Mr. Lu, and the military supplies for this expedition are also the same. Lu Langjun gave it, even if I really have to hand it over, I would rather Lu Langjun than raise a bunch of moths for that stupid court."

Lu Yiqing's heart trembled when he heard the words, he quickly stood up and refused: "The general is serious. I did this for the Wei family army, but I admire the character of General Wei and respect the character of everyone. If it weren't for the Wei family army back then No one can imagine what Liang Guoguo looks like now." She smiled and said, "Besides, I had an appointment with the Major General back then, and I lost him, so I should keep my promise. "

In a few words, this topic is finally brought over.Lu Yiqing stole a look at the expression of General Wei, who was at the top, but saw his expression was calm, and wondered if he took what he said just now to heart.

In the final analysis, Lu Yiqing's ambitions are not that great, and all she wants is peace and happiness, and she has no desire to fight for power and profit.

Wei Jingrong also sensed something was wrong, thinking that what Lu Yiqing said before was speaking for himself, he felt a little apologetic in his heart.At this time, I didn't want to push Lu Yiqing out to the cusp of the storm anymore, and said to myself: "I know that everyone doesn't want to, and I don't want to either. But no matter whether we have eaten the military rations of the court, we are the subjects of Liang Guo after all. How can you not listen to the edict from the side?"

This reversal seemed helpless, but Lu Yiqing clearly heard the provocation from it.Everyone present can be a high-ranking general, so naturally no one is really stupid, and even those who are really stupid have instincts that are not inferior to those of wild beasts, so naturally they all heard one or two deep meanings at this moment.

The scene suddenly became more silent, and finally General Wei finally said: "The imperial court can't offend you yet, so I called everyone to come here, and I also want to ask you about your plans."

Having said all this, what else can I plan?

Everyone was silent, and when they thought of the hot spoils that had just been distributed to their hands, they felt as if their hearts were bleeding.

After a long time, someone said: "We people still have a salary, so we just give up these things. But what about the spoils for the soldiers below? They went to the grassland to go through life and death, and finally got some things for two days. , do you want them to hand it back?"

If you really want to do this, I'm afraid that the Wei family army will stage a mutiny on the spot.

General Wei naturally had no intention of doing so. He thought for a while and said, "That's not necessary. The Qin State seeks peace, and the benefits agreed in the two countries' credentials must be sent to the treasury in the end. Let's not go through this process, and directly transfer the money Send it to His Majesty..."

In other words, General Wei intends to directly bribe the emperor.Even if Emperor Yankang still has King Xiang as a constraint in the court, he is the rightful emperor after all. If he really wants to expose this matter, it is naturally not difficult, just look at the imperial edict in front of him.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they felt that the blood from their hearts was not dripping so hard—I don't know if anyone noticed that during this time, the Wei family father and son had completely put everyone on the opposite side of the court.

Just as everyone was clutching their hearts and discussing how much money to give to the emperor, Lu Yiqing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pulled Wei Jingrong's sleeve, and the latter moved his head towards it kindly.Then Lu Yiqing said in a low voice: "Young General, when you were negotiating in Qin State, I saw that you were very interested in the colored glaze in Jun Qin's private treasury. Do you think His Majesty will also like colored glaze?"

Lu Yiqing's colored glazes have been sold for three or four years, and after Qin's high-end market was basically saturated, those glazed products began to flow back into Liang.It's just that after several times, even though the price of colored glaze in Qin State has been reduced, Liang State still maintains a high price.

Wei Jingrong didn't even think about it when he heard the words, and said, "Your Majesty loves money, he likes all valuable things."

Lu Yiqing's eyes flickered, and he said, "In that case, then tell me, Major General, how about we send some cars of colored glaze to Chang'an?" Seeing Wei Jingrong's puzzled face after speaking, he explained without waiting for him to ask: "I have a way to earn a batch of colored glaze at a low price. Sending these to Chang'an is definitely more cost-effective than sending real money, and it can also save a lot of money for the generals."

Wei Jingrong didn't doubt her words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he even thought of something more: "It's just right. And since we want to give it away, we can't be unknown, it's best to let everyone who should know know..."

The author has something to say: Wei Jingrong (causing trouble): Liuli is very easy to break, and I don’t know who will feel distressed when the time comes.

Emperor Yankang (covering his heart): It's me, it's me, it's me! ! !
