Chapter 95 Zhang Wang Waiting (2 in 1)(1/2)
Two days later, Cheng Qiao took some time to go to the mansion outside the palace to summon Zhi Ri.
"Greetings to your Majesty."
Wearing a bronze mask, Zhanri strode into the main hall and bowed respectfully.
"Sit." Cheng Qiao opened his eyes and said casually.
"Thank you, sir."
He walked to the table on the right and knelt down in a dignified manner.
"I called you here this time because the plan against Wei Wuji can be launched."
"Immediately send people with heavy sums of money to the Kingdom of Wei to bribe the favored servants around the King of Wei and the dignitaries who have no dealings with Wei Wuji, so that they can find a way to bring Wei Wuji to the Kingdom of Qin to watch the King's brother's coronation ceremony."
"Here, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
"There are some powerful people in the six countries who are hard-pressed but not soft-spoken. Can you let your subordinates act according to the circumstances and teach those powerful people a lesson if necessary?"
"But bribery is just a means. The important thing is to achieve the goal. You are allowed to use any means."
As long as he can achieve his goal, Cheng Qiao doesn't mind using some dirty tricks on Wei's powerful people. Those powerful people don't have anything good to offer.
"Thank you, sir."
If you don't tie your hands and feet, some things will be easy to operate.
If you don't drink the toast, you will be given a fine drink. Whether it is the servants or the dignitaries, they are all flying under the buttocks. It is not difficult to hold the handle. If there is no handle, just create the handle, such as the fact of liaison with the Qin State.
"Your Majesty, do you have any main targets?"
Hearing this, Cheng Qiao recalled someone in Tianjiu and said in a deep voice: "Wei Yong, the Grand Commander of the State of Wei."
"This person is mainly in charge of civil construction, water conservancy projects, and is a remote clan member of the Wei royal family. He should not be short of money..."
"I allow you to promise him to eliminate some political enemies for him. You can decide the specific details when the time comes."
"The only thing is, you are not allowed to suffer losses. I never do business at a loss."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Luo Sheng will never suffer losses."
"After it is confirmed that Wei Wuji will come to Qin, notify Wei Zeng and let him prepare. If he needs anything, try to satisfy him."
"Here."
"One third of the money will come out of the net, and the other two thirds will be collected from the Shaofu with my order."
Cheng Qiao nodded slightly, he still believed in his ability to hide the sun. With a wave of his hand, an oval token with a jade background and gold inlaid flew out from his sleeve, and slowly fell to the table like a feather.
Zie Ri was secretly shocked. His Majesty's strength has become more and more unfathomable. This control of power can be said to be at its peak!
"My subordinates will do it immediately."
Zhan Ri didn't wait for the token to land on the table, so he caught it with both hands, stood up, bent over, and bowed his hands.
"Let's go together, I am going back to the palace."
"It's my honor."
"You don't have to be so humble. We have known each other for so long. You should understand my temper."
It’s impossible not to be humble at all. I’m afraid that one day I’ll offend you and explode my heart…
"My subordinates have offended their Majesty before and are guilty. This is one of my ways of atonement."
Cheng Qiao was slightly surprised and secretly thought to himself, he can talk, young man.
"It's up to you."
Zhanri's strength in front of Cheng Qiao has been lowered. He has no choice but to lower his strength and be more humble if he doesn't want to die. But in front of many people, his strength is still as high as ever.
…
Cheng Qiao attaches great importance to Wei Wuji, and Zhenri also attaches great importance to Wei Wuji. First, because Cheng Qiao attaches great importance to him, and secondly, because Zhenri also participated in the attack.
From Zhanri's perspective, Wei Wuji was not only a very capable person, but also a very charismatic person, as evidenced by the fact that his followers risked their lives for him.
Out of concern for Wei Wuji, Zhanri personally came to Daliang City of Wei State to operate.
The servants, dignitaries, and officials in the Kingdom of Wei who could have influence on the King of Wei have already been caught in the net. All it takes is to pick out a group of people who are greedy and selfish.
A person like Lord Long Yang who serves the King of Wei and the State of Wei wholeheartedly, no matter how influential he is to the King of Wei, the trap will never come to his door.
Zhanri understands human nature very well and has a very ruthless eye when selecting people to bribe. With money being the only way, there will be no one who disagrees with him once he comes to him.
Even Wei Yong, the important official of the Wei State, Sikong, fell under the condition that he was paid a lot of money and snares to eliminate two political enemies.
With one month left before the three-month national mourning, the Qin State began to send out invitations, inviting the six countries to send envoys to attend the enthronement ceremony of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng's coronation ceremony was scheduled for February 4, 243 BC, which was the day of the beginning of spring when all things revived, which represented beginning, warmth, growth, and good luck.
The time for sending invitations, the time for the countries to respond, and the time for sending people to Xianyang were all sufficient to ensure that the envoys from the six countries arrived on time.
The enthronement of a new king is a major event in any country. People from other countries will usually be invited to watch the ceremony. Regardless of whether they come or not, they must be notified.
Kings from other countries generally do not refuse to send envoys to observe the ceremony. In addition to etiquette issues, this is also an opportunity to get to know the new king. You will definitely learn more when you come to the royal capital than in your own country.
Having a general understanding of the new king will also facilitate various countries to make various decisions.
After receiving the invitation from Qin, Wei began to discuss who should be sent to Xianyang to observe the ceremony.
There is a wide range of choices available for this kind of thing. Important ministers of the imperial court can do it, important clan disciples can do it, and idle clan disciples can do it. It all depends on what King Wei wants.
Therefore, the Wei Dynasty meeting was noisy and no unity was achieved for a while. Until a courtier recommended Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, as an envoy, the Wei Dynasty meeting fell into silence for an instant, and then became even more noisy.
There were those who were supportive, those who were opposed, some who were fishing in troubled waters, and some who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. They were so noisy that the old King Wei, who was not young, felt his head hurt.
The general meeting follows the procedures, and the small meeting makes decisions. If there are too many people, it is difficult to unify the opinions. The public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified.
King Wei didn't pay attention for a while and decided to put it aside for the time being, preparing to consult his confidants and important officials in private before making a decision.
The first person King Wei of Wei consulted was Lord Long Yang. Although Lord Long Yang's martial arts had been abolished, his beauty was still the same, so he was still favored.
Lord Longyang was of course firmly opposed to it. Let Lord Xinling enter the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?
After separating from Long Yangjun, Wei Yu asked his close confidants for their opinions.
The answer given by the confidant's servant was quite artistic. He did not answer the question directly at all. He only said that King Wei of Wei would do everything himself, but he handed over a piece of news in the evening.
The news is that when the content of the court meeting spread, more than half of the officials in the court opposed Wei Wuji's mission to Qin, and the people basically all opposed it.
Wei Yu was in a very bad mood after reading the news. He had no intention of having fun with Lord Long Yang anymore.
The next day, Wei Yu summoned his close ministers respectively. Basically, his close ministers supported Wei Wuji's mission, which gave Wei Yu some comfort.
However, when he summoned the important ministers who were not his confidants, more than half of them were against Wei Wuji's mission to Qin. Especially the outspoken words and clear attitude of the general of Wei made Wei Yu feel a thorn in his heart.
When Wei Yong, the chief minister of Wei State, was summoned, Wei Yong clearly expressed his support for Wei Wuji's mission to Qin and listed the reasons for his support in detail.
Wei Yong said that the Qin State would never dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill other countries' envoys, otherwise its bad reputation would be completely ruined.
Even the envoys were not spared. Who in the six countries would dare to play with him in the future?
Regardless of the feud between Qin and Zhao, the State of Qin has never killed envoys of the State of Zhao. Those who hold objections are completely over-concerned.
At the end, there is a subtle hint that those who hold opposing views have shady selfish motives.
Finally, he said that Wei Wuji's mission to the Qin State could demonstrate the capabilities of the Wei State, promote the power of the Qin State, and the world, so that the Qin State and the people of the world would not dare to underestimate the Wei State, let alone you, the king.
The meaning was that. Wei Wangyu felt that what Wei Yong said was reasonable and well-founded, and with the thorn in his heart, he made up his mind to send Wei Wuji as an envoy to Qin.
If you don't let me, then I will let you know that I am the master of Wei State, not Wei Wuji!
After Wei Yong left, Wei Yu immediately issued an edict, and the edict also cited the reasons given by Wei Yong.
After issuing the edict, Wei Yu thought for a while alone and found that he would not suffer any loss if Wei Wuji was sent as an envoy to Qin...
If Wei Wuji had not died, he would have allowed Wei Wuji, who had severely damaged the Qin army, to go to the Qin State to show off his power. This would have shown the strength of the Wei State, and might have made the Qin State watch Zhao and South Korea, and less likely to attack the Wei State.
There is a feud and a weak persimmon. Isn't it more appropriate to pinch them both than to pinch Wei?
It would be better if Wei Wuji died in the hands of the Qin State. He would not have to bear the infamy and would have eliminated a serious threat to the throne for himself and his successors.
With Wei Wuji's identity, status, and reputation, Wei Wangyu really didn't dare to kill Wei Wuji. Removing his official position and making him idle was the limit. He had to find a replacement from somewhere to block a little bit of Youyou's mouth, and he definitely didn't dare to get a title.
move.
If the Qin State kills Wei Wuji, it will definitely become a public outrage in the world. By then, the countries will be more closely connected. Maybe the Qi State will also join the anti-Qin camp. By then, won’t the Wei State be safer?
When the time comes, when one side is in trouble, all parties will support it, and it doesn't seem to matter whether Wei Wuji is there or not.
Wei Yu came to his senses and happily ordered his servants to drive him out of the palace.
He was going to Long Yangjun's mansion to have a good time.
Wei Yu arrived at Longyang Jun's Mansion, and the edict also arrived at Xinling Jun's Mansion, and the official king's order was issued.
Wei Wuji had to obey the imperial edict whether he wanted to or not, unless he wanted to give up everything in Wei and wander around the world.
It didn't take long for everyone who had opposing opinions to know about it. They felt helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
They are all ministers, they only have the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.
To be continued...
