Chapter 1060: Success in the East and Success in the West (Fifty-Three)

At this time, Wu Qi was the one who danced the most happily in Jicheng. After giving away a large sum of gold, silver and jewels and getting promises from many people, he did not stop and continued to jump up and down in Jicheng to support the return of Wei State. Working hard and benefiting from lofty national policies, many academics gathered in Jicheng, most of whom taught at Jicheng Comprehensive University. Unlike the Qin State who only respected Li Confucian academics, in the Han State, although it was Jiang Jiaquan's The academic school occupies the mainstream, but other schools can coexist with it. For example, Xun Xiu was originally an academic master and had many academic conflicts with Jiang Jiaquan, but this did not prevent him from becoming the Minister of Rites of the Han Dynasty, while Jicheng Comprehensive The university is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

This is where Wu Qi came from. He was looking for these academic masters. He very much hoped that these influential figures on the mainland could speak for them. Wu Qi himself had profound academic attainments, so he could naturally communicate with these people. Talk easily and go together.

After a hard day's work, Wu Qi returned to his residence completely exhausted. Instead of going to rest immediately, Wu Qi immediately went to see the King of Wei.

"Your Majesty, my wife went to see Princess Han today. How is the situation?"

"When Madam met Princess Han, she cried and complained about her homesickness, which made Princess Han burst into tears. Most of her words expressed deep sympathy, but when it came to specific matters, Princess Han was vague in her words. I'm afraid She doesn't understand political affairs, so it's really hard for her to be of much help." Wei Wang said.

"That's enough!" Wu Qi beamed with joy, "We can publicize Princess Han's attitude to everyone, saying that Princess Han also intends to let the king return to the country."

"But Princess Han didn't say that!" King Wei spread his hands and said in embarrassment, "We can't make something out of nothing, right?"

"No, we don't need to say it clearly. We just want to say that Princess Han is very sympathetic to our current situation and even shed tears for it. As for the rest, let the listeners use their own imagination!" Wu Qi smiled slyly: "Your Majesty, I have now contacted more than a dozen high councilors. They are all representatives of the high councilors stationed in Jicheng, a prosperous land of Han Dynasty. With their support, I can successfully launch the proposal in the great council."

"So, can we expect a return date?" King Wei said happily.

"Of course, not only these senior members, I have also contacted some other people these days. These people are all academics and have many supporters on the mainland. When the time comes, they can speak out together. It will put a certain amount of pressure on the Han Dynasty Government Hall and the King of Han. The King of Han wants to be a famous king through the ages. This is a shackle, and we can easily take advantage of this." Wu Qi said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chief Assistant!" King Wei said sincerely.

"Your Majesty said seriously, this is my duty." Wu Qi bowed and said, "Originally I wanted to contact Wu Yong, but unfortunately he was in Ye Zhen's army and couldn't help himself, so I had to put this matter aside for the time being. After the king returns to the country, we will try to get these 30,000 new troops back."

"What the chief assistant said is that we can only stop now and not really anger the King of Han. The army is too sensitive now, so it is better not to get involved and wait until later to take advantage of it." King Wei nodded. "Wu Yong is young and promising. There should be a group of useful people in the new army!"

Wu Qi smiled and said: "That's natural. Although the Han army officers account for the majority of the new army and the army was trained by them, why are there so few loyal and righteous people among our Wei people?"

"How wonderful!" King Wei clapped his hands and said with a smile. "When I return to the country, you will be the chief assistant, and Wu Yong will be the Taiwei. You, father and son, will assist me in both civil and military affairs. This will surely become a good story in history."

"Thank you for your attention, Your Majesty!" Wu Qi bowed.

Seeing that things had taken shape, the two of them relaxed and chatted a few words about the new things in Jicheng. Everything here was extremely new to them. King Wei listened as if it was new, and as Wu Qi said , he wanted to find out the secret of the rise of the Han State from these new things. Gao Yuan founded the Han State, and it only took ten years. For a country, ten years is simply not worth it. Mention, you must know that Qin’s current power is due to the hard work of several generations.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu, the King of Qi and Mr. Tian are here to visit!" While the two were chatting lively, people from outside trotted in and reported to them that guests were coming.

"King Qi, Tian Yuanyuan, what are they here for?" Wu Qi frowned. Qi has been officially included in the territory of Han. Wu Qi doesn't have a good impression of these two people. "Your Majesty, I'm going to see you. Forget it after seeing them."

"No, although the King of Qi has passed away, he was still the leader of a country in the past, and he was much more powerful than our Wei State. Now that he is here, how can I avoid seeing him because of his emotions and reasons?" King Wei stood up and said, "Let's go, Wu Qi, let's welcome him together."

The two former kings sat face to face with wry smiles on their faces. However, the Grand Master Tian Yuanyuan and the Chief Minister of Wei Wu Qi, who were accompanying them below, stared at each other with big eyes. The Grand Master Tian had a joking look on his face. However, Wu Qi's face was full of disdain.

What Wu Qi disdains is that Qi is such a powerful country, much stronger than Wei, but after Tian Dan, there is no successor. The two brothers kill each other, and in the end Han takes advantage without any effort, and Mr. Tian was looking at a joke. Wu Qi was jumping up and down for a while, thinking he had a plan, but he didn't want everything to be under the control of others. He and King Qi came not willingly, but because of Cao Tianci Forced to come.

The reason is very simple. The two of them came here just to make King Wei die and return to his country.

"I should have come to visit the king a long time ago, but I have been too busy these days, so I didn't come until just before departure. Please don't blame me, the king!" King Qi looked at King Wei and said with a smile.

"Let's go? Where are you going, Your Majesty?" King Wei asked in surprise.

"Thanks to the generosity of the King of Han, I built a village on the bank of Dayan Lake for me. There was a chaos a while ago and there was a war there, so I delayed it. Now that Li Xin has been defeated and Dayan Lake has returned to calm, I am ready to Let's set off. It's getting hotter today. I heard that my village is located by the Dayan Lake, which is the best place to escape the summer heat. I want to arrive early. Your Majesty, I've already gone to the throne. I'm just an ordinary citizen of the Han Kingdom, so the king can just call me Jiang Zhe!" King Qi said with a smile.

"Jiang Zhe!" After hearing this, King Wei couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, "are you really leaving like this?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Jiang Zhe nodded repeatedly: "Go to Dayan Lake to run horses, go fishing, and plant flowers and crops when you have nothing to do. At dusk, you will have fun with your grandchildren, but it is also a big step in life." Pleasure.”

King Wei let out a long sigh and lowered his head, but he didn't know what to say to comfort King Qi who was in trouble. It seemed that his own situation was not much better than that of King Qi.

"Is Mr. Tian also planning to go to Dayan Lake?" Wu Qi on the side said: "We will be returning to the country soon. If you two get tired of staying by the Dayan Lake, you might as well come to Daliang as a guest. My king will definitely welcome you. to."

Tian Yuanyuan smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much, Prime Minister Wu. Of course I will go. My father is old and living alone by the Dayan Lake, he is inevitably lonely. This time, I am going with my whole family." , no matter what, I want my father to live a happy old age."

"In that case, I don't have much to say." Wu Qi coldly picked up the tea cup and made a gesture of seeing off guests.

Tian Yuanyuan laughed, as if he didn't notice Wu Qi's indifference, "Wu Xiang, before I came to your place today, I saw something. I've thought about it over and over again, but I'm afraid that these things are still related to you. .”

"What happened?" Wu Qi was slightly surprised.

"Today, Prime Minister Wu went to Jicheng Comprehensive University to visit the academic masters. No wonder he didn't know something. Today, the Supervisory Council of the Han Kingdom brought more than a dozen members into the Supervisory Council at one go. Mr. Wu may also know , although this senior councilor has no real power in the Han Kingdom, he is a person who can really influence the government. The Supervisory Yuan Cao Tianci actually arrested so many people in one breath, he must have some solid handle. , otherwise you will definitely not dare to mess around." Tian Yuanyuan looked at Wu Qi, whose face was gradually turning pale, with pleasure, "It seems that these people have just been visited by Prime Minister Wu, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I've been visiting a lot of people these days!" Wu Qi raised his neck.

"It's not good, it's not good!" King Qi Jiang Zhe on one side seemed to be resolving the siege, but in fact he was hammering home the truth: "Our current status and position are really embarrassing. In the country of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that we are most worried about it. It was because we were entangled with their ministers or these high councilors, so after I arrived at Jicheng, I could not go out of the main gate or the second gate, so all the affairs were left to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites of the Han Kingdom. Your Majesty, I am not saying too much. After Han Qiao lived in Xianyang for three years, he died under mysterious circumstances. As soon as Han Qiao died, all his family members were driven out. The former golden branches and jade leaves were all living on the streets. It took less than a year. , but there is no one left. Two days ago, I heard from an official in the Han Dynasty that King Yan Ji Ling is also dead. Do you know who killed Ji Ling?"

Listening to Jiang Zhe's words, King Wei felt like the hairs all over his body were standing on end. "Who, who killed him?"

"Tan Feng." Tian Yuanyuan said on the side: "The King of Qin asked Tan Feng to kill Ji Ling. The Ji family of Yan State was extinct. Zhou Yu and Tan Feng were promoted to generals at the same time, and Meng Tian stayed in Qin. The army of more than 100,000 people on the border of Chu was divided into two and put under the command of these two people."

The King of Qi sighed: "Although the King of Han is benevolent and righteous, he has not committed any mass killings since his uprising, but we ourselves must understand that we must not bring trouble upon ourselves. Your Majesty now understands why I went to Dayan Lake to do the work." It’s an apartment, right?”

Listening to the obvious meaning in King Qi's words, King Wei's teeth began to chatter involuntarily. (To be continued)
