Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Qin Gong's mouth twitched, seeing that their mother really thought that his brother's house was a witch of unknown origin, couldn't help laughing, "Mother, there are no witches, don't believe everything you hear."

"Then what are you talking about the rumors." The old lady waved all the maids back, watching her son who was not in a hurry but also laughed, and keenly realized that things might be different from what she heard.

Qin Gong shook his head with a smile, got up and went to the old lady to explain Wei Ji's background. Now the state of Qin is not in a safe place. He and Gong Ziqian are juniors, and they are always reluctant to do things in front of the old ministers. At these times, we need to The elders are out.

The old lady has a very high status in the state of Qin. When Duke Xian returned to the country to take the throne, in order to stabilize the domestic turmoil, he deliberately married the daughter of the most entrenched family in the old family. If not, a son who has been in exile for many years would want to succeed to the throne smoothly Easier said than done?

Duke Xian was the son of Duke Ling, but he was only ten years old when Duke Ling died. His throne was taken away by Duke Jian when he was young, and Duke Xian began his 29-year exile in Wei.

The state of Wei occupied most of the wealth of the state of Jin at the time. At that time, Marquis Wen of Wei used Li Kui, Wu Qi, Ximen Bao and others to carry out reforms in the country, emphasizing agriculture and strengthening the army. The prelude to the Central Plains.

However, the state of Qin is not only weak in national strength and unstable in power, but also the monarch does not want to be aggressive and seeks comfort. Even the abolition of the monarch is decided by a few officials. In a few years, all Hexi, which had been occupied by Qin State as early as Mu Gong's time, was returned to Wei State.

Duke Xiang lived in Wei State for 29 years. After returning to Qin State, he saw the decline of Qin State and was deeply stimulated. At that time, Qin State was only left with the Weihe Plain to the east of Longshan Mountain, west of Luoshui River, and north of Qinling Mountains. The land was small and surrounded by enemies. He was beaten to the point of almost subjugation several times.

The ancestor Mu Gong dominated Xirong, but the descendants fell to this point. After seeing the strength of the Wei State, Xian Gong naturally couldn't bear the further decline of the Qin State. Every year he goes to war with the state of Wei.

Duke Xian has been in power for 23 years, and Duke Qin is still poor, but he has stopped the pace of continued decline dangerously. If the civil strife continues, within ten years, the coveted Wei State will be able to carve up the Qin land together with Xirong and Beidi do.

The old lady and Mr. Xian have gone through the most difficult period together. The old family can disobey Zhao Quliang's orders, but they definitely dare not annoy the old lady. Just like now, if you want to trip up the young master, the rumors will arrive first without going anywhere. her ears.

Young Master Qian mentioned Wei Ji when he first brought sweet potatoes back, and the old lady had some impressions of the two teenagers that the eldest son picked up by accident, and she never thought that just taking them into the mansion would be spread like this, "Ridiculous! It's just too ridiculous!"

"Mr. Ji is very good. Only Xiao Jia will go out occasionally. They can make up such a play without even seeing anyone. It can be seen that they came here on purpose." Qin Gong said coldly, no matter how strong the opposition was. , Qin should change and still have to change.

Sticking to those old patriarchal rules, when will they become as strong as the Shandong kingdoms?

When reforms become the general trend, sticking to the rules is killing yourself. Qin cannot afford another civil strife, nor can it withstand another round of wars in Wei. Only reforms can strengthen the country, and Wei is the best example.

The old lady frowned, thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Go and find out the source of the rumors first, and see that they are about to attack Xirong again. At this time, they will ruin the reputation of the boss. Are they trying to make the soldiers rebel?"

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go check it out right away." Qin Gong's eyes were a bit cold, it's true that he just succeeded to the throne, but it doesn't mean that those old things really can't be dealt with.

If there is no breaking, the reform will inevitably affect the interests of the old people. They don't even think about it. Only when Qin becomes stronger can they gain greater benefits. If even the country is gone, what's the point of sticking to that little thing?

Back then, Marquis Wen of Wei had Li Kui, when would he be able to have a great talent like Li Kui in Qin?

Duke Qin sighed in a low voice. It is difficult to be a king, and it is even more difficult to be the king of Qin. The country is surrounded by enemies.

Shandong scholars disliked the poverty of Qin, and even merchants seldom came here, let alone those wealthy scholars.

So...why did Young Master Ji come to Qin in the winter?

Want to know, still want to know.

"Boss doesn't know about this yet. Talk to him later and suppress his violent temper. Even if you want to deal with those people, you can't let him go." The old lady was very worried about the eldest son's temper, and told him several times. Then he said, "If the identity of Young Master Ji cannot be revealed, then continue to live with him, and let the servants keep their mouths shut, and don't scare people by listening to the wind or the rain."

Qin Gong nodded in response, seeing their mother's expression eased, she squeezed the muscles on her arms and couldn't help complaining, "I thought my mother wanted Ji'er to move to Liyang Palace, these days my brother sent me All the food was thought up by that child, mother didn’t see it, but now that elder brother sees the food, he doesn’t even want his own brother.”

It wasn't that he said that if the elder brother continued to eat like this, there might not be a horse that could move him in the next spring.

"There are people coming and going here, so it's good to leave your elder brother there." The old lady shook her head, feeling that the youngest son seemed to have something to say, so she looked him up and down several times, and then she understood Asked, "Are you greedy for the food made by that child?"

"Mother, I was just talking about big brother, don't pull me." Qin Gong's face froze, and he was about to get up and go out angrily, "The cook has already given orders, the noodles for lunch today taste very good, big brother The child who sent too many things to you will also remember, this is specially reserved for you."

The old lady sat up straight in surprise, "Boss mentioned that the young man of Wei State in the mansion is well-behaved, and now even you say the same, since he is the son of Wei State, why did he come all the way to Qin State?"

The state of Wei respects the state of Wei, and Qin and Wei are feuds. If there is anything in the state of Wei, the first to go to the state of Wei should be the state of Wei, not their poor place.

"I originally thought that the problem was in Duke Wei's office. Later, when the spies came back and talked about Duke Wei's reaction, it didn't seem to be the case. The child kept it secret, so I didn't ask much about it." Duke Qin said simply. A few words, although he is also very curious, but it is not good to go out of his way to expose other people's scars.

It is enough to be sure that it will not be harmful to Qin, and it will not be too late to investigate other things when the time is right.

"If that's the case, then don't ask any more questions." The old lady sighed in a low voice. She is old and has experienced many things. If it wasn't for a major problem that cannot be solved, the pampered son would never leave his homeland. .

In Liyang Palace, the mother and son waved away the crowd and talked, while in the eldest son's mansion, the misty atmosphere was still hot.

Wei Ji was full after eating a bowl, and then he wrapped his cloak tightly and leaned against the railing beside him with a smile. He thought that after seeing Gongziqian's appetite, he had prepared so many dishes that would be enough for the three of them. It is even more amazing when people truly let go.

Xiao Jia was shocked when he saw Xiao Ding who had seen the bottom, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He probably knew why Qin was so poor.

Everyone is so edible, Qin must be poor.

"What are you looking at me for?" Gongziqian put down his chopsticks contentedly, stretched out his hand in front of Xiaojia's eyes, and then said nonchalantly, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, it's not good to eat only a little bit for a meal like your son's, and eat less As long as they don’t grow tall, if they don’t grow tall, they won’t even be accepted in the military barracks.”

"My son doesn't need to go to the battlefield. He is just young, and he will definitely grow taller in a few years." Xiaojia murmured softly, not noticing that the smile on their son's face gradually stiffened, thinking of Qin Wei who had been fighting for more than 20 years. He couldn't stop asking, "Young Master, can I beat the Wei people on the battlefield?"

"Enough." Young Master Qian gave a two-word evaluation in a serious manner, and was about to say something more when he suddenly realized, "Do you want to go to the battlefield to fight the Wei people?"

It's normal for a Qin person to want to beat a Wei person. Why does this kid have such an idea?
