The capital of Wei State, Daliang.

This is an extremely young capital. It has only just been a hundred years since King Hui of Wei moved the capital Daliang in 361 BC.

The name of the city of Daliang may sound a bit unfamiliar, but if we talk about the many names that the city later changed, such as "Chenliu", "Bianjing" or "Kaifeng", many people will probably be very familiar with it.

If you find an old nobleman of Wei in Daliang City and ask him to describe the awesome situation of Wei in the past, then this old nobleman of Wei will definitely tell you that he will not stop for three days and three nights.

As the first overlord country in the Warring States Period, the Wei Kingdom was a coquettish existence. It can be said that it beat the small Qin Kingdom in Guan, kicked the Great Qi Kingdom in the East, rejected the Chu barbarians in the south, swallowed the Di Rong in Zhongshan in the north, and stomped his feet in the Central Plains: "Stand up if you don't agree!" There were dozens or hundreds of vassal states who dared to speak.

At that time, the State of Wei was definitely the leader among the heroes of the Warring States Period, the eldest brother. Even the so-called emperor of the Zhou Dynasty would tremble under the glory of the King of Wei and pray for the protection of the King of Wei.

But that's all over.

After this old nobleman remembers you this glorious history, you can tell him that now your Wei State is just a country trembling in front of the Qin army. The territory in its heyday has shrunk by half, and even the former capital, Anyi, has fallen into the hands of the Qin people. Why are you bragging about here and pretending to be so generous?

If you really say that, congratulations, please be prepared to be beaten by this angry old nobleman and the Wei people passing by nearby.

After a little gossip, it is said that although the Wei State is no longer as grand as before, the century-legged insects died without being stiff. In addition, the Wei State is located in the Central Plains, in Zhang Yi's words, "the land is four flat, the princes are connected to each other, and the limit of unknown mountains and rivers." The water networks around Daliang City are densely covered with shipping, and it is extremely convenient to travel to any country, so this well-connected city is still extremely prosperous today.

It was noon in early August, and the scorching sun was hanging in the middle of the sky. The scorching sun shone down from the cloudless clear sky, making the pedestrians on the road sweat all over.

At the north gate of Daliang, thousands of Wei ceremonial guards were lined up in full spirit, and dozens of Wei officials were standing on both sides of the road in formal clothes, looking as if they were waiting for something.

At the forefront of these ceremonies was an extremely luxurious carriage. On the carriage was a man standing over the age of the year. The man was covered in wide robe, big sleeves, elegant, with sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes, and a crown. He looked very handsome and handsome. He looked like a standard middle-aged successful person in the Warring States Period - and he was also very beautiful.

This noble man is the most handsome, outstanding, wisest and youngest among the famous "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period" - the 36-year-old Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.

As the saying goes, don’t be afraid that others are better than you, just be afraid that others are better than you and are more handsome than you. This Xinling Jun Wei Wuji is the kind of chosen person with IQ at the peak and appearance at the peak.

It is worth mentioning that this Xinlingjun also has a very famous loyal/remember fan. This fan is called Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han who destroyed Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty.

As the son of the former king of Wei, King Zhao of Wei and the younger brother of the current king of Wei, Wei Wuji, the Xinling king, is a well-deserved important official of the Wei State. His status in Wei State is equivalent to his brother-in-law, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, the position in Zhao State, is both of who are important and can easily influence his own king.

Sima Qian once described the role of Xinling Jun in "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Prince Wei" in this way: "At that time, the princes were virtuous and had many guests, so they did not dare to add troops to Wei for more than ten years."

The meaning of this sentence is that because the kings of various countries are afraid of Wei Wuji and think that this person is too powerful, the heroes of the Warring States Period, including Qin, have not sent troops to attack Wei for more than ten years.

With his reputation as a person, Wei Wuji's talent can protect the peace of Wei for more than ten years in a chaotic world like the Warring States Period, which is a small battle every year and a big battle every three or five years.

Although Wei Wuji was not a prime minister of Wei, what he said was often more effective than the prime minister's words.

Such a big man who stomped his feet and trembled three times, of course he would not have to eat enough and do nothing to do when he was full on a hot day. At noon, he ran to the city gate to bask in the sun.

The reason why Wei Wuji appeared here today was to welcome a Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, who was both Wei Wuji's brother-in-law and an envoy of Zhao State, and like Wei Wuji, he also belonged to the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period".

In the hot summer, there were heat waves everywhere in the air. After Wei Wuji sat on the carriage for a while, he also had sweat beads on his cheeks. He turned to look at the officials of the Wei Kingdom who were already sweating all over his body. Wei Wuji called the servants beside him: "Let's go and get the summer soup and drink it together with the officials."

The summer soup was quickly taken. After the officials of Wei State drank this bowl of soup, the heat in their bodies suddenly dissipated a lot. The eyes of Wei Wuji were full of gratitude, and they all thought to themselves: "Mr. Xinling, I am worthy of the name of a wise king!"

After a while, dust and smoke broke out on the road outside the north gate. A convoy of hundreds of people slowly came south from the north road, and the convoy of Zhao's messenger arrived.

Xinling Jun coughed, straightened his body slightly, and ordered: "Everyone, please welcome Pingyuan Jun with me, don't lose your courtesy!"

After a while, the convoy of the envoy of Zhao State arrived, and the Lord of Pingyuan Zhao Sheng also appeared in Wei Wuji's sight.

"Xinling Jun!" Zhao Sheng's cheerful laughter came to Wei Wuji almost at the same time: "I haven't seen him for many years, but Xinling Jun is as charming as before, and it's better to win!"

Wei Wuji smiled slightly and bowed to Zhao Sheng to return the gift: "Pingyuan Jun is now the prime minister of Zhao and is in charge of the power of the country. He is an important official of the country. Wuji is not as good as Pingyuan Jun!"

The two looked at each other and laughed. After a complicated and necessary diplomatic etiquette, their brother-in-law Wei Wuji took his brother-in-law Zhao Sheng, and the two joined hands into the city surrounded by many officials and guards from both countries.

Before Zhao Sheng, officials from Zhao State came to fight and decided the rules. The Wei State will hold a grand court meeting tomorrow. This grand court meeting was just the time when Zhao Sheng officially met the King of Wei. So the two of them walked in the same car and did not go to the palace, but came to Wei Wuji's mansion in Daliang City.

In Wei Wuji's mansion, an extremely sumptuous banquet had been prepared, so Wei Wuji welcomed his brother-in-law here.

Due to the special relationship between the two, the wine was not as reserved and polite as those diplomatic banquets, but rather casual and enjoyable.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Sheng's face began to appear on his face, and his eyes began to become a little confused. He was even more drunk when he spoke. He smiled at Xinlingjun, who was in the upper head, and said, "Wuji, I believe you know my purpose. Zhao State is in danger now, and I hope Wuji and Wei State will help Zhao State to help Zhao State to jointly control the Qin army outside the Shangdang!"

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, his wife is Wei Wuji's only sister of the same mother. Zhao and Wei are all ally with the same affair, so this mission is not enough to be captured?

However, what Zhao Sheng did not expect was that after hearing Zhao Sheng's words, Wei Wuji not only did not agree immediately, but instead showed a wry smile on his face.
