Chapter 611 The Conversation of Xu Mansion
(I just finished writing it, please subscribe!! Okay, slap!!!)
Although he had already gone to court, Wei Wuji still felt a little bit. The matter of peace talks with Qi mentioned in the court just now may fall on his head.
So, after going to court, Wei Wuji did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to Xu Anhong's mansion.
Xu Anhong did not attend the grand ceremony today. The reason given was that he was sick. Although Wei Wuji's opinion, the old man was indeed old, it is still questionable whether he was really sick.
After all, today's court can be said to be a carnival day for aristocratic families. Instead of going, Xu Anhong's ears are still clearer.
In fact, this is not the first time Wei Wuji has gone to Xu Anhong's house, but in general, he has never been there a few times, so he still feels unfamiliar with the Xu family.
But this was just a strange thing for him. In the eyes of Xu and his maids, Wu Yangjun's arrival was a great event.
So when Wei Wuji had just arrived outside Xu Anhong's mansion, Wei Wuji got off the car and found that the servants and maids of Xu's mansion were already waiting for him respectfully.
At the same time, Xu Anhong's two sons were waiting outside the Xu Mansion. Seeing that Xu Anhong did not come out in person, Wei Wuji knew that the old man might be really sick.
"Greetings to the young master..." Xu Anhong's eldest son took his younger brother and the servants and maids behind him to worship.
Wei Wuji asked them to get up and said, "I heard that General Zhu Guo is sick, I will come and take a look!"
The eldest son of the Xu family was named Xu Xun. After hearing Wei Wuji's words, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern. My father is sick and unable to come out to greet him. Please forgive me!"
Wei Wuji waved his hand and said, "Let's lead the way, I will go in and take a look!"
Then the Xu Xun brothers bowed to lead the way, and the group walked into the mansion, while Zheng Dali was the only one who followed Wei Wuji.
Originally, according to the rules, he wanted to invite Wei Wuji to have tea first, but he was thinking about drinking tea at this time, so Xu Xun took Wei Wuji directly to the inner palace.
When he arrived in Xu Anhong's room, Wei Wuji asked about a strong smell of herbs. At this time, Xu Anhong was supported by a maid and wanted to sit up.
Wei Wuji didn't know that this person wanted to salute him, so he rushed over and said, "Don't get up, the weather is cold outside!"
When Xu Anhong saw Wei Wuji arrive, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Young Master, don't be rude!"
Seeing Xu Anhong's appearance, Wei Wuji couldn't bear it and said, "The old general is sick and lie down. If I am here to ruin my illness, then Wuji will be very guilty!"
After Wei Wuji's words, Xu Anhong lay down honestly.
At this time, under Xu Xun's greeting, a maid brought a chair and was placed behind Wei Wuji.
Then he heard Xu Anhong on the bed say, "Young Master...please sit down!"
Wei Wuji nodded and sat on the chair, but he felt it was difficult to speak when he looked at Xu Anhong.
Xu Anhong asked first: "Young Master, today's court must be very lively!"
Wei Wuji nodded and then said, "The old general is right. Today is indeed very lively. Several people from your Changping Camp have been rewarded!"
Xu Anhong had actually known these things for a long time, so he didn't want to ask more about this, so he listened to him: "What's the matter with the old minister today?"
Wei Wuji sighed and then said, "Young General, can you tell me that a major event is already being discussed in the court today!"
Xu Anhong asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Wuji replied: "The court has already begun discussions to negotiate peace with Qi State!"
Xu Anhong didn't say anything, and outsiders couldn't see what he was thinking. It took a long time to hear him say: "Although Qi and Wu are confronting each other, it has not been carried out between Qi and Wu at this time. It is not certain whether this peace talk can be discussed!"
Of course this is true. Although the Wu Kingdom was invading the border between Qi and Wu, and was eyeing the Xu Kingdom, which was sandwiched between them, the two countries did not fight at this time.
It is also unknown whether Wu will send troops to Xu after this winter, so it is not certain that it will be negotiated with Wei.
After listening to Xu Anhong's analysis, Wei Wuji understood why the peace talks took so long. It turned out that Qi State was not so proactive about it.
It is even said that although Wei State won a great victory against Qi, Wei State, which faces great pressure from Qin and Chu, wanted to withdraw from Qi State.
"The old general's insightful views are so clear, Wuji admires them!" At this time, Wei Wuji couldn't help but sigh, of course, this also has the meaning of flattery.
Immediately, Wei Wuji said again: "But if he really wants to negotiate peace with Qi, then the old general thinks... who will they choose?"
Hearing this question, Xu Anhong looked at Wei Wuji and became stunned, and then he understood what Wei Wuji meant.
Then he heard Xu Anhong say, "Young Master, will they send you there?"
Since Xu Anhong said so directly, Wei Wuji nodded and admitted, because this was his purpose here.
"This matter... we will try our best to stop it!" Xu Anhong had no choice but to say so.
In fact, he had expected this before.
In fact, it is perfect for Wei Wuji to negotiate peace with his current status as a prince.
What's more, his experience of regulating Qi State can be said to be that Wei Wuji knew Qi State better, and it was one of the reasons why he went to negotiate peace.
Thinking of this, Wei Wuji said, "Old General, this matter... I'm afraid I can't escape it!"
Wei Wuji then explained: "Even if the old general helped me to push this matter, there will still be other ways for the aristocratic clans to stop me from returning to Yanshan!"
Speaking of this, Wei Wuji looked around and found that all the servants and maids in the room had been taken out by Xu Xun.
So Wei Wuji continued, "What's more, keeping me is probably the father's intention... I've been so popular recently!"
After being named the throne, Wei Wuji will naturally be refrigerated for a period of time to cool him down.
Immediately, Xu Anhong said, "The old minister admires you for seeing through these..."
"But as the young master said, even if we can stop you from going to peace, there are other difficult things waiting for you... Then you can't let it go!" Xu Anhong said in a deep voice.
It is understandable to shirk it once, but if you shirk it again, you will be criticized, which will be a huge blow to Wei Wuji's reputation.
Seeing that Wei Wuji was in deep thought, Xu Anhong continued, "Since you can't avoid it in the end, it's okay for the young master to go and go for a while!"
The meaning of Xu Anhong's words was a 180-degree turn, which made Wei Wuji unable to understand for a while.
"Elder General... what you said is inconsistent with what you just now!" Wei Wuji said in confusion.
Xu Anhong smiled rarely at this time and said, "Young Master, as you said, this is what the king wants after all, and you can't avoid it in the end!"
"If you can escape peace talks, you can't escape other things, so why not go there!" Xu Anhong said with a faint smile.
In fact, he said that he had helped mediate before, and he could only say that he was testing Wei Wuji, just to see if he could see through the matter. To be honest, when Wei Wuji said that this matter could not be stopped, Xu Anhong was very pleased.
Seeing that Wei Wuji was still suspicious, Xu Anhong continued, "What's more,... you haven't been there yet, so it's great to take this opportunity to meet some people!"
These words undoubtedly helped Wei Wuji to make up his mind, which made him suddenly feel enlightened. It turned out that peace talks could also be used in this way.
"The old general is wise, thank you for your old general!" This time, Wei Wuji stood up and said.
After Xu Anhong said this, Wei Wuji immediately found the direction of his struggle. He also had a lot of fans in Xiangping Camp, and this time he happened to go to harvest.
The reason why Xu Anhong used this to mention Wei Wuji was because he also knew that this young master was quite capable of winning people's hearts.
For example, the Changping Camp under Xu Anhong, Wei Wuji has been away for two years now. People brag about his deeds every day and highly praised him.
At this moment, Xu Anhong smiled and said, "Young Master, these are actually just our inferences. When you go to Qi to discuss peace candidates... it is not necessarily you!"
Perhaps thinking of the previous appearance of the Six Gods, Wei Wuji also laughed at this time, and then said, "Yes, there is nothing left to see now, so we are just talking!"
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.
Amid this laughter, Wei Wuji's confusion and helplessness just now were wiped out, and the disease on Xu Anhong's face also improved a little.
It can be said that the two of them have a win-win situation in this conversation.
