Chapter 96 The moon is bright tonight
What should Zhou Shi do?
Emperor Ji Bian's question rang in his ears, and the expression on Grand Master Jile's face became more and more serious.
After pondering for a long time, he heard Ji Le analyze in a deep voice to Ji Bian: "Qi Emperor, today's Zhou Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it used to be."
"If you rashly stand against the powerful Sanjin, it is like using a fragile jade to collide with a hard stone. This is undoubtedly a very unwise thing."
After explaining the huge strength gap between the Zhou Dynasty and the Three Jin Dynasties, Ji Le immediately bowed forward and slowly expressed his suggestions.
"Since there is no way to prevent the three Jin Dynasties from intervening in this change of kingship in the Western Zhou Dynasty, I think that the emperor might as well take the initiative to let Gongzi Gen succeed to the position of Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty."
"What does Grand Master mean by this?" Facing Ji Le's suggestion, Ji Bian's heart was filled with confusion. "The interference of the three Jin Dynasties in the domestic chaos of the Western Zhou Dynasty is an act of disrespect. Even if I, the Zhou Dynasty, cannot express my objection,
, and we shouldn’t support this move.”
"If it is true what the Grand Master said, how will the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty view Yu, and how will the princes of the world view me?"
Facing Ji Bian's questions, Ji Le felt helpless in her heart.
If the Zhou Dynasty was still as powerful as it was hundreds of years ago, facing the behavior of the Three Jin Dynasties, he would definitely imitate the Duke of Zhou in the past and lead the royal army loyal to the Zhou Dynasty to march eastward to attack the Three Jin Dynasties.
But now that the Zhou Dynasty already exists, its former glory is long gone, and the royal masters who guarded the Zhou Dynasty have also disappeared in the long river of history.
Ji Le's suggestion was indeed the best choice out of desperation.
"Which of the two evils is the lesser of two evils, this is already the best choice for my Zhou family to face the current situation." Looking at the Emperor Ji Bian in front of him, Ji Le's eyes were full of solemnity, "If the Emperor doesn't take the initiative to propose
If Gongzigen is allowed to inherit the throne of the Western Zhou Kingdom, the original Western Zhou Kingdom will most likely be split into two."
"At that time, discord will inevitably arise between the two countries that are originally hostile to each other. This will give the three Jins an opportunity to continue to intervene in the Zhou Dynasty."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to abandon the eldest son Gongzi Chao and change the title of Gongzi Chao to the Duke of Western Zhou. This can also preserve the strength of the Western Zhou Kingdom."
After listening to Ji Le's explanation, most of Ji Bian's doubts had dissipated, but the displeasure on his face had not disappeared.
I don't know how much time passed before Ji Bian slowly loosened his clenched hands and let out the pent-up energy in his chest with deep weakness.
"Don't worry, Grand Master, I understand."
…
On one side, the Emperor Ji Bian and the Grand Master Jile were discussing how to deal with the Three Jin Dynasties. On the other side, the chariot of Wei Marquis Wei Feng had already passed through Zhi Guanxing under the escort of a group of elite Wei troops.
Feeling the constant bumps coming from underneath him, Wei Feng, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the side curtains of the carriage and his eyes slowly fell on the vast sky.
"Someone is coming!"
"exist."
Following Wei Feng's order, a majestic war horse appeared in his field of vision the next moment, along with a Wei army general.
Looking at the red figure in the field of vision, Wei Feng asked the other party in a deep voice, "How long are we from Wencheng?"
"Your Majesty, according to the current marching speed of our army, we will be able to reach Wencheng in a few hours."
After listening to the general's words, Wei Feng nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "Order the soldiers to speed up and try to reach Wencheng before dark. The soldiers have been working hard for so many days. Tonight
Have a good rest in Wencheng.”
"Here."
After a few breaths, watching the Wei general disappear from sight, Wei Feng slowly lowered the side curtain in his hand.
In this way, under Wei Feng's order and the attraction of having a good rest, this Wei army's march speed accelerated a bit, and finally they achieved their goal of reaching Wencheng before dark.
When night gradually fell on the earth, when the soldiers of the Wei army who had been running all the way fell into a sweet dream, Wei Feng stood in the backyard of a mansion in Wen City, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky.
The moonlight tonight looks so bright, falling between the buildings in Wencheng, as if covering the earth with a white veil.
His eyes were silently watching the beauty in his field of vision, but a faint smile appeared in Wei Feng's eyes.
In this extremely quiet atmosphere, along with a clear sound of footsteps, a figure appeared behind Wei Feng.
Wei Feng did not look back at the visitor, but quietly watched the bright moon in the sky while asking in a deep voice: "Sima, why are you not asleep yet?"
At this moment, the figure that appeared behind Wei Feng was none other than Gongsun Qi, the Sima of Wei State who was following him on this trip.
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, but I can't sleep." Looking at Wei Feng in front of him, Gongsun Qi asked in a deep voice: "I am also curious about why the king is not asleep yet?"
When Wei Feng heard Gongsun Qi's words behind him, the smile on his face became brighter, and then he slowly turned around and looked at him.
When Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi's eyes connected, both of them saw their own smiling faces in their respective gazes.
Turning around again and looking at the bright moon in the sky, Wei Feng said with some emotion: "The moonlight is just right tonight. I wonder if we can see such beauty in the future?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that this bright moon will always shine on the earth and in the hearts of everyone in the Wei Kingdom."
"No matter where you are or what the situation is, as long as you can see this bright moon, your heart will return to your hometown, to the place where people can relax their body and mind."
Facing the question asked by Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi gave the most sincere answer in his heart with a smile on his face.
After he finished speaking, Wei Feng responded with an equally bright smile.
…
After a night's rest, Wei Feng and the army guarding him were on the road again, heading towards Chengzhou City where the Emperor of Zhou was located on the south bank of the river.
After another day's march, Wei Feng and his party finally arrived at their destination, where Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, and Jile, the Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty, who were much closer, had been waiting for a long time.
A few more days passed, and with the loud noise of chariot wheels, a large banner with the word Zhao appeared outside the Chengzhou King's City.
At this point, the three kings of Wei, Zhao, and South Korea have arrived one after another. This grand drama, which is called meeting the Emperor of Zhou, but actually determines the fate of the Western Zhou Kingdom, has finally begun slowly.
In the main hall of Chengzhou Royal City, Grand Master Jile, who was standing at the front of the Zhou family ministers, slowly walked to the aisle and bowed solemnly to the Emperor Ji Bian above.
"The three kings, the Emperor Qi, the Marquis of Wei, the Marquis of Zhao, and the Marquis of Han, are already outside the palace waiting for the Emperor's summons."
After hearing Ji Le's report, Ji Bian, who was dressed in the imperial robes, nodded slightly and immediately appeared in the hall with a somewhat majestic voice.
"The fact that the three monarchs took the trouble to come to the Zhou Dynasty shows their respect for my Zhou Dynasty." After Wei Feng, Zhao Zhong, and Han Ruoshan expressed their approval on the surface, Ji Bian listened seriously.
He said in a loud voice: "Let the three kings come to the palace."
