Chapter 224 Messengers Talk
Wei Kang's heartbeats, and he stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.
My father was king, no, he should have been determined to be the emperor, but Wei Fufeng made concessions.
Lao Shi ran to Guiguan as an observer, and also built a large-scale expansion of the city and stationed a large army.
Could it be that his father is the emperor, the tenth eldest son is the crown prince, and Wei Fufeng is willing to be the crown prince.
Wei Kang guessed something roughly possible based on what he knew, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
"What can I get? If my father is the emperor, I will get the Duke of the Kingdom, Duke of Kang at the lowest level?
No, I have made meritorious and should be awarded the title of hereditary prince. Even if I do not have a real official position, I can open a government office and establish a yamen, and obtain many subordinates and guards, and those subordinates will be supported by the state." Wei Kang was excitedly thinking about good things.
"I understand, I know what to do, that is, support, support Dong Chang to jump out and become the king, and it is better to become emperor now.
My father needs someone to make a fuss, and then the decision to judge the situation is better to be the king or the emperor." Wei Kang came to the conclusion of doing things.
"Hehe, whether it is to be king or emperor, as long as it is established, there must be a court. It is hard to say about other officials. The Minister of the Honglu Temple must be me, and I can't argue with me." Wei Kang was full of confidence and longing for being a high-ranking official.
......
The next day, Wei Kang took his entourage to visit Yuezhou City.
Seeing people coming and going on the streets, it was a prosperous scene, and its popularity was much stronger than that of Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and it was not inferior to Jiangling Prefecture.
Wei Kang knew that the prosperity of Yuezhou was due to the wars in the north, which caused a large number of immigrants to move south.
Before the Anshi Rebellion, although Yuezhou was the capital of the ancient Yue Kingdom, it was not considered a place of wealth and honor in the concept of northerners.
The great immigration of northerners has created rapid prosperity in the southeast region. Yuezhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou and Suzhou are all treasures with varied rivers and lakes, fertile land and rich products.
In contrast, the number of immigrants willing to go to Fujian and Lingnan is far less than the Southeast.
Fujian is mountainous and has few areas suitable for the development of agriculture. In addition, the native Fujian people are xenophobic, which makes the Han people unwilling to go to seek life.
Wei Kang walked casually in the courtyard. He had heard from his subordinates about the situation in Yuezhou. He was just passing the time when he came out to travel. I wonder if Dong Chang would see him.
I guess even if I want to see you, I have to wait for a few days.
I didn't want to wander for a while, but I was suddenly caught by a soldier.
The soldier respectfully said, "Is it Mr. Wei from Jinzhou?"
"That's right." Wei Kang answered calmly.
"Mr. Wei, the young man came to invite him at the order of Lord Wu. Lord Wu is the judge of the governor." The soldier said respectfully.
"Oh, lead the way." Wei Kang responded calmly and followed the soldiers to meet.
The soldiers led the way back to the inn. There were more than a dozen soldiers outside the inn, which made passersby dare not approach. The inn was like a solemn and majestic official office.
Wei Kang walked into the inn calmly. He was able to eat at the entrance, but now he only saw a middle-aged man in the official robe and four armored soldiers.
The middle-aged man in the official robe sat alone on a wooden chair with a national face and an extraordinary demeanor.
Wei Kang stopped at the entrance, raised his lips and smiled, "Mr. Wu."
"Haha, Lord Wei is back." Lord Wu stood up and smiled and returned the favor.
"Mr. Wu, I don't know why I want to meet me?" Wei Kang asked directly.
"Oh, I'm here to ask, what's the point of Lord Wei coming?" Lord Wu looked at Wei Kang and replied.
"I have followed the order of my father, Duke Yu, and came from Yuezhou to get along with the governor of the Yisheng Army.
My father heard that the emperor refused to enthrone the King of Yue, and was very upset for the governor of Yisheng Army. He said that Li Maozhen, the governor of Fengxiang, could be granted the title of king if he was a rebel, but instead he hated the governor of Yisheng Army who was loyal to the court." Wei Kangzhengrong replied.
Lord Wu's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "It turns out that Duke Yu's intention is to speak up."
Wei Kangzheng said, "My father said that the emperor was not kind and had no righteousness, and was loyal and treacherous. He was bullied and humiliated several times by Li Maozhen. He was lost in prestige and was already in a state of surviving.
If the governor of Yishengjun is willing to make friends, no matter what happens in the future, my father will treat each other friendly and will not fight each other."
Lord Wu smiled and said, "I will report to the Lord of Duke Yu's kindness, Lord Wei will wait for the letter."
"It's hard work." Wei Kang smiled and greeted.
Lord Wu smiled and nodded, leaving with his subordinates.
......
After noon, Lord Wu came to the inn again and said bluntly: "My Lord Wei, my master is satisfied with Duke Yu's kindness, but he thinks he lacks sincerity in making friends."
Wei Kang was stunned and said in confusion: "Lack of sincerity? Please tell me clearly."
Lord Wu smiled faintly and said, "My head is very clear about the situation under Duke Yu's rule. The territory is much larger than that of my head, but it is vast and sparsely populated, and internal and external troubles."
Wei Kang frowned and said, "What does Lord Wu mean?"
"Does it mean? It means that Duke Yu's rule cannot withstand the torture, so he is willing to make good friends with my family leader, and my family leader is willing to accept Duke Yu's kindness.
However, Duke Yu needs to show sincerity. As long as Duke Yu is willing to give up Fujian, my head will naturally be willing to be friendly for a long time." Lord Wu said with a smile.
Wei Kang was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lord Wu in disbelief.
Dong Chang actually proposed such unrealistic conditions for getting along and giving up Fujian. He dared to say that he was simply ignorant of it.
Lord Wu said again: "Mr. Wei, Fujian was originally under the rule of the East Jiangnan Road, but it should not belong to Duke Yu.
Fujian is barren, with many mountains and few lands, and is not worthy of the Duke of Yu. It is better to give up the good friends and give up. Then, Lingnan and Fujian are divided into each other and peace for a long time."
Wei Kang shook his head and said calmly: "Even if Fujian is barren and cannot be given up, Lord Wu should not think about it."
Lord Wu's face darkened and said, "The Fujian Observer had already sent someone to my head. My head sent troops to take over, and I don't want to be occupied by you."
If I don’t want to give up, my head will join forces to go west and seize Fujian and Lingnan easily. It will be too late for Duke Yu to regret it."
Wei Kang had a helpless feeling of laughter and crying, and he felt that it was incredible that a person like Dong Chang could become the lord of a vassal state. He was simply a naive child.
"Mr. Wu, you can tell how much military strength my father has. Not to mention the Southern Sichuan Army and the Bashu Army, under the rule of Jinzhou, at least 20,000 troops can go south, 10,000 troops can go south, Guiguan can go south, 20,000 troops, and Lingnan can go to south, plus the military strength of Fujian." Wei Kang was showing his strength.
Lord Wu smiled faintly and said, "Even if there is a military force of 100,000, it will not be enough. The military force of my family head is more than 200,000, and it is easy to get Fujian nearby. The rule of Duke Yu is unstable, so how dare I fight fiercely with my family head."
Wei Kang said calmly: "Okay, even if my father's rule is unstable, is it the rule of the Yisheng Army Jiedushi together?
If your head of your family went west, I don’t believe that Qian Liu, who occupied Hangzhou, would not take advantage of the situation and rebelled against Yuezhou. Qian Liu’s army was not the Yisheng Army.”
Lord Wu's face changed and raised his eyebrows and said, "Qian Liu is my subordinate, so he will naturally send troops to advance to Fujian together."
Wei Kang said unhappily: "Mr. Wu is more realistic than to tell me the truth. My father's friendship is not because he is afraid of the Yisheng Army's advance westward, but because he hopes that the Yisheng Army's Jiedushi can despise the court's independence.
My father also wanted to be independent and dominate the southwest. However, due to the fierce opposition from my uncle, after the Yisheng Army became independent, more feudal states would naturally become independent."
Lord Wu was slightly stunned and said with a slight smile: "It turns out that Duke Yu's so-called friendship is to use my head to stand up."
"Mr. Wu misinterpreted his father's affection for his family, and I felt helpless. Since the governor of Yishengjun can tolerate the emperor's grace and do not want to become a leader, there is no need for his father to achieve his promise of peace." Wei Kang said helplessly.
Lord Wu frowned and then said calmly: "I will go back and report my life, Lord Wei will wait."
Wei Kang raised his politely and watched Lord Wu leave, he knew that Lord Wu was here to bluff. If the army could go west, he would have attacked Fujian so early.
Knowing Dong Chang's bottom line, Wei Kang fell asleep peacefully and waited in good spirits the next morning.
After noon, Lord Wu came and met and smiled, "My Lord Wei, my master is willing to travel to Yu State Bus, but since Duke Yu is willing to be independent in the southwest, it requires sincerity to have a good relationship."
Wei Kang's face darkened and he said calmly: "It is impossible to transfer Fujian. I cannot be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can't be the one who can'
"Oh, Fufeng Hou, then Duke Yu cannot make the decision completely." Lord Wu frowned.
"What should we do? The matter of what we have to do this time, Fufeng Hou knew that my nephew's mind was also focused on the southwest, and he tried to conquer the barbarians in the southwest. The barbarians rebelled against the Impermanence, which really gave us a headache." Wei Kang said, expressing his intent to enter the southeast.
Lord Wu nodded and said, "What I said this time is that I hope that on the basis of good friendship, Duke Yu can send five thousand troops to cheer."
Wei Kang was slightly stunned and said unexpectedly: "Let us send troops? Why?"
Lord Wu smiled faintly and said, "Didn't Lord Wei say it? Qian Liu occupied Hangzhou. My head was indeed worried about Qian Liu's rebellion. In order to prevent trouble, Duke Yu asked Duke Yu to send troops to cheer and shock Qian Liu and dare not rebel."
Wei Kang frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my father is afraid of his uncle's reprimand, and can only promise peace and will never respond to the imperial court's order to attack Zhejiang East."
Lord Wu smiled and said, "Since Duke Yu is concerned about the blame from Prime Minister Wei, you can make some adjustments and send out five thousand secret soldiers to enter eastern Zhejiang, which is nominally affiliated with the Yisheng Army. Our intention is to shock Qian Liu."
"Can an extra five thousand military force shock Qianli?" Wei Kang asked suspiciously.
"Five thousand military forces are to shock the vanguard, and let Qian Liu know the facts of our joint, that is enough." Lord Wu smiled.
Wei Kang thought about it and nodded, "This strategy is feasible, there is no clear evidence. I think even if Qian Liu sues the court, the court cannot accuse him of being punished."
Lord Wu smiled and nodded, saying, "Chang'an is far away from the southeast."
Wei Kang nodded and said, "Okay, I can make the decision on this matter, so I will go and report to my father."
"No hurry, Lord Wei comes in to see my head, it will not be too late to leave tomorrow." Lord Wu smiled.
Wei Kang nodded, raised his head and smiled, "My name is Wei Kang, I don't know the name of the adult?"
"My name is Wu Yao." Lord Wu politely answered.
