Chapter 182 Sowing discord

After some discussion, the Huai State Office made a decision to use the estrangement strategy to drive a wedge between Wu Qi and the Crown Prince of Wei.

Since you, Wu Qi, are invulnerable, let your own people take action to force you away. However, this strategy requires subtlety over a long period of time. Being too impatient will only lead to flaws and be self-defeating.

After formulating the plan, the spies of Huai State began to implement it. At the same time, Wang Pu also began to recruit the children of the public servants to give them more political courses.

The textbook is also very simple, adapted from the history books of various countries, and also contains the experiences written by the kings of the Huai Kingdom over the past dynasties. In the past, the children of the public family were so well protected that the children of the public family of this generation have not yet grown up.

After Wang Pu discovered this problem, he immediately invited some elders from the academy to teach them.

There are also many talented people in the previous generations in the public office. With the words and deeds of these people, the children of the public office will soon become familiar with the politics of various countries.

After Wei Hou joined forces with Han and Zhao to beat up the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Qin, he did not continue to fight, but began to manage the land of Xihe. After Wei obtained the land of Xihe, Qin was greatly threatened and could only follow the

Luoshui built fortifications.

After experiencing a series of major defeats, the Qin State was temporarily unable to launch an attack and could only recuperate and wait for its national strength to recover before fighting for the land of Xihe.

For a time, there was rare peace between Qin and Wei.

After the Marquis of Wei saw that the State of Wei was rapidly becoming stronger with the help of a large number of talented people, he wanted more talented people to serve the State of Wei. Therefore, after discussing with the Prime Minister and others, he invited the great Confucian Xia Qian to give lectures.

He also personally worshiped Zixia as his teacher and invited him to give lectures in Xihe.

This operation of the Marquis of Wei directly elevated Zixia to a very high position, and he respected Zixia very much. Although the Huai Kingdom gave preferential treatment to these scholars, no Huai Guild ever appointed a great Confucian as the king's teacher. This is

The Pando sect immediately gained the favor of a large number of Confucian disciples.

Even many scholars in the academy went to Wei State, and Wei State suddenly became the center of the cultural inheritance of the Xia Dynasty. Zixia went to Hexi to give lectures, which made Qin, Chu, Zhao and other border states

He has a very high cultural yearning for Wei State.

Even the land of Xihe has become a cultural center.

Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh at the actions of the Marquis of Wei. If the Marquis of Wei had inherited all the land of the Jin Kingdom, Qin and Chu would have been in danger of subjugation.

Zixia's line of Confucianism originally taught Confucianism that could be applied to the world and cultivated talents for local governance. Moreover, the Marquis of Wei also requested that the criteria for recruiting students should not be based on their status. Even if they were poor slaves, as long as they had the ability to learn

You can also come and learn if you are interested.

Since the founding of the country, the Qin people have been called barbarians by the Central Plains countries, and they yearn for the culture of the Central Plains. Chu State is also called barbarians. Zhao State is located on the border and is not much better. These countries are very fond of culture.

It was admiration. This also caused several scholars from various countries to yearn for Hexi, and Wei became their ideal country to serve.

This operation of the Marquis of Wei directly copied the policies of the Huai Kingdom. Since the Marquis of Wei personally went to worship Zixia as his disciple, the status of Xihe Academy was greatly improved. It actually had some rivals with the Huai Kingdom Academy.

ability.

Seeing the behavior of the Marquis of Wei, Wang Pu could not sit still. If the Wei State were allowed to continue to develop, the Wei State would very likely become the next Jin State.

Therefore, Wang Pu began to let Huai Guo spies implement the plan. Because the Marquis of Wei did not care about his family background, he appointed virtuous people to make Wei Guo strong and politically clear. It was basically impossible to make small moves here, but his prince was a lot worse.

.

Although Tai Ziji is not bad, especially his tactical talent is higher than that of his father, he does not have the long-term vision of Wei Hou, and Tai Ziji places more emphasis on family background.

If you use the system to check it, you will find that the prince's military strategy is as high as 91, but his political strategy is only 63 and just passed, and his internal affairs is only 70, let alone the personnel.

The seriously biased Prince Edward would be qualified as a general on the battlefield, but he would be completely incompetent if he were to lead a political party. His vision is short-sighted, and he can only plan for a temporary period, but not for a lifetime.

The spies sent by Wang Pu to the Wei State used various methods to make friends with the nobles of the Wei State. Although most of these nobles lost their rights, these nobles made good friends with the prince.

Through these people, Huai's spies could quietly influence the Wei prince.

One time, the prince held a banquet in his mansion and invited his good friends to come. During the banquet, everyone drank heartily. The guests next to him accidentally said that Wu Junshou was like a god with his troops. In the last battle of Xihe,

The Qin army defeated 50,000 and 200,000, making Wei the best.

When the prince heard about it, he was a little angry. In the battle of Xihe, he personally led the army to break through the Qin army's Xihe defense line and cut off the Qin army's logistics. In this way, when the Qin army fought against Wu Qi, the morale of the army was in chaos, and the whole line collapsed.

He always believed that he was the first hero in the Battle of Xihe. When the Marquis of Wei saw that his son had made great contributions, he was very happy and wanted to give him the first credit. When discussing with the Prime Minister Zhai Huang, he expressed his idea

Said it out.

Zhai Huang knew that the crown prince had made great achievements, but the main achievement in this battle was Wu Qi. After all, it was Wu Qi who showed weakness, induced the Qin army to attack, and resisted the main force of the Qin army. Later, he defeated the Qin army of 200,000 in one battle.

Although Prince Strike made great achievements, it is still not as good as Wu Qi. If Prince Strike is the first meritorious service, it would be unfair to other soldiers.

Zhai Huang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the prince is the future king. I have never heard of the king and his ministers competing for credit. The king comes to reward his ministers for their achievements, but there has never been a case of the king robbing his ministers of their achievements."

"Your Majesty is a wise and benevolent monarch, and I doubt he would make such a mistake."

After hearing this, Marquis Wei thought it made sense and immediately downgraded Prince Strike's contribution to third place.

After Prince Chu learned that his credit had dropped from first to third, he was very unhappy. He felt that Wu Qi had taken away his credit, so he was very disgusted with Wu Qi.

"Nonsense, if the prince hadn't been so wise and powerful, he attacked decisively, broke through Qin's defense line and cut off its logistics, how could the Qin army have been defeated? It was the prince who saved Wu Qi!"

"It's just that your Majesty wanted to commend these officials from civilian backgrounds, so he specifically gave Wu Qi the first merit to appease people's hearts."

What he said touched the heart of the prince, and everyone complimented him one after another, as if the battle of Xihe was really his victory.

"It's a pity that in the Wei Kingdom now, the people only know Wu Qi but not the prince." The man next to him shook his head and sighed.

"It doesn't matter, Wu Qi is also serving the country, so he doesn't care about these false reputations." The prince smiled reluctantly.
