Chapter 78 Loyal ministers and loving fathers
Daliang, Wei State, royal palace.
In the past three years, except for the Qin State launching an attack on Zhao State like a routine every year, there was no war in the world, but such peace was broken.
The Qin army suddenly sent troops to attack Weiguo. This seemed to be Qin attacking Weiguo, but in fact it was Qin who was hitting him in the face of King Wei.
No one in the world knows that although Wei State has a king, he, the King of Wei, is the real master of Wei State. Damn the despicable guest has already come to the door, so what can he, the King of Wei?
King Wei, who was worried about the sudden outbreak of war, couldn't help but cover his cheeks that had been hurt by internal fire recently.
"This face of the king has been beaten by the King of Qin, but the other face cannot be beaten by the King of Qin. Wei State is no longer saved, but the nine cities around Ye City must not be occupied by the King of Qin. Now that Xinling is outside, the only one who can discuss major issues in the country is Sikong. I wonder if you have any good plans?" King Wei asked Wei Yong, who was summoned into the palace.
Wei Yong, this Situ of Wei three years ago and now Lord Sikong, although time has made his wrinkles deeper, time has also made him more energetic.
He had a strong desire for power in the past three years, because he played an increasingly important role in his affairs with Qin, and his status continued to increase in Wei.
The only regret is that the position of the general is still occupied by Xinlingjun, and he can only surrender to the position of Sikong.
"The Qin State should have received news about Xinlingjun when he attacked Wei State. Otherwise, he would not have sent troops to attack Wei State without any major moves for three years. This is a way to shake the mountain and shake the tiger." Wei Yong replied.
"It would be fine if Qin State just knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and Gu would not mind cooperating with the King of Qin, but it would not be possible that the King of Qin would move the mountain away while knocking on the mountain and shook the tiger. For the sake of the nine cities in Ye, Gu asked Sikong to think of a complete plan. After all, when it comes to understanding the King of Qin, Sikong, you should be the first in our Wei State." The King of Wei pulled the chessboard in front of him and said.
"I have a plan to ensure that the nine cities in Ye are safe in the next two years, but it is hard to say what will happen in two years." Wei Yongwei said.
"Two years have passed. As long as you can overcome the current difficulties, let's make plans for the rest." King Wei couldn't help but feel energetic when he heard Wei Yong's answer.
"The little girl is about to marry into Qin." Wei Yong said something that seemed irrelevant.
"I am indeed ashamed of you in this matter." The King of Wei said with a little ashamed.
In the marriage incident three years ago, he could not find a daughter of his age. In the end, Wei Yong took the initiative to share the burden for him and pushed out his only daughter, which solved the problem of the marriage.
But the King of Wei didn't know that he had used the wrong guilt, because even without his reasons, Wei Yong would try his best to marry his daughter into the Qin Palace.
"As a great king and a minister, how can I not be loyal to the king? Not to mention a little girl, or a life of a minister, I should devote myself to my life until I die." Wei Yong replied to the King of Wei with his sincerity that could touch anyone.
"Sikong's loyalty is unbelievable, but what does the matter between the nine cities in Yedi have to do with Ling Nu?" asked the King of Wei.
"The king can confer the little girl as the princess of Yecheng. In this way, if Qin still wants to attack the nine cities in Ye, it is attacking the wife of the King of Qin. I think Meng Ao shouldn't be so unwise." Wei Yong replied.
"Wonderful, Princess Yecheng, why didn't I think that with Princess Yecheng here, the Qin army could only stop." King Wei laughed.
"But this is not a one-time solution. Although it can temporarily solve the crisis, when the little girl married into the Qin Palace, Qin State will be in the name of interfering in Ye. At that time, the situation will be even more chaotic." Wei Yong said conscientiously.
Judging from the current conversation between the King of Wei and Wei Yong, Wei Yong is indeed worthy of the praise of Wei State's pillars. If you can plan to this extent for the King of Wei, you will feel a little embarrassed if you don't say that he is a loyal minister.
But people all have masks. Who can know what the real Wei Yong looks like?
It is not impossible to be a big treacherous and loyal person.
"The Qin army's offensive this time is too sudden. It would be good if there is a buffering time for two years. As for the fact that Qin may use the title of Princess of Yecheng to capture the nine cities in Yecheng, there is no need to worry too much. At that time, we are ready, so how can Qin succeed easily?" King Wei said loudly.
The problem that had troubled him for several days has now been solved, which has made the King of Wei feel much better.
As for the Wei Kingdom, they just want to be blessed, anyway, he is powerless.
Since the problem has been solved, the King of Wei has the intention to play chess, and he brought up the loyal minister of the Wei State in front of him and started a new chess game.
When Wei Yong returned to his Sikong Mansion, it was already dark. If it weren't for the foreign ministers who could not stay in the palace, the King of Wei would really not be willing to leave this confidant.
"Have Xianxian been able to eat?" Wei Yong, who returned to the mansion, asked the butler.
"It has been used." The housekeeper said respectfully.
"I'll go see her." Wei Yong, who was tortured by the King of Wei's chess game for the whole afternoon, was not tired at this time. Compared with physical fatigue, how could he affect his mental excitement?
When he arrived at the courtyard where his daughter lived, Wei Yong knocked on the gate. Wei Xianxian is now nineteen years old. Even if he is a father, he should be a little taboo and cannot enter his daughter's boudoir so casually.
Wei Xianxian heard the knocking sound of the door and knew that it was her father who was here, and only his father could still appear here at this time.
Since she made a marriage contract with the King of Qin three years ago, not only her father Wei Yong, but even the King of Wei has paid attention to her and has also been closely protected. Not to mention being an outsider, even a male servant in the mansion, it is impossible for him to see Wei Xianxian's face again.
"Father, are you doing something?" asked Wei Xianxian, who opened the gate of the courtyard.
Although the nineteen-year-old Wei Xianxian does not have a stunning face, her soft facial features are still an extremely attractive woman.
She is not stunning, but it is unforgettable.
What's more, the nineteen-year-old Wei Xianxian was already very old for the woman's marriage at this time, but it was precisely because of this that Wei Xianxian had a different charm.
"The King of Qin is really a blessed person." Looking at his daughter who was becoming more outstanding in front of him, Wei Yong couldn't help but quip.
Wei Xianxian, who has heard too much about the person in Xianyang in the past three years, is no longer surprised by her father's jokes, because she is not embarrassed, but the faint blush on her cheeks tells others that she is not at all in her heart at this time.
Wei Yong, who is familiar with his daughter's personality, naturally would not expect Wei Xianxian to cooperate with her jokes at this time, so he was not disappointed.
"The king has agreed to sign you as the princess of Yecheng. With this title, I think your life in the Qin Palace will be much better in the future. Although you do not have a father to be a king, you are still a well-deserved princess." Wei Yong looked at his daughter in front of him and said in a gentle voice.
"Father, you?" Wei Xianxian was very surprised. Why did she become the princess of Yecheng?
Although Wei Xianxian was surprised by the sudden engagement that came three years ago, she had no other thoughts. After all, the King of Wei was guaranteed by his father at that time, and she really couldn't resist. Of course, she had no reason to resist.
"Okay, you have a rest, I'm here to tell you about this."
Wei Yong turned around and left, leaving behind the confused Wei Xianxian.
There are nine cities in Ye, and I think Xianxian can gain a foothold in the Qin Palace. Although the Chu princess was genuine, the King of Chu would not give the nine cities in Qin as dowry.
Besides, this matter can help the king. At least in the next two years, the king will no longer worry.
Wei Yong, walking among the paths in the courtyard, thought to himself.
Of course, there is another most important purpose, which he will benefit from. As for the benefits, he cannot tell them to outsiders.
When Wei Yong was approaching the bedroom, he couldn't help but change his direction and walked towards the courtyard not far from the bedroom.
