[Friends who like "Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty", please support it by collecting it and sending flowers! 】
You won't be recognized again, right?
How is it possible? Ji Jie is still very confident in his disguise skills. In order to avoid any mistakes, he specially made a more detailed portrayal this morning. Unless the other person lies on his face to look at it, it will be difficult to see the flaws.
He immediately knew the reason. He saw the gatekeeper stretching out a hand, rubbing his thumb, index finger, and middle finger back and forth a few times. This was an obvious move to ask for money.
"Master Soldier, you are really good at joking!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Why do I look like a wanted criminal? Take a closer look!"
While speaking, Wangcheng Gate Officer put a small piece of broken silver into his hand.
The city gate official was very satisfied, waved his hand and said: "You look like a sensible person, how could you be a wanted criminal? Hurry up and enter the city!"
As soon as Ji Jie walked into the city gate, he heard the voice behind him again: Why do I think you look so similar to the person in the portrait? It turns out that the people guarding the city took this opportunity to make money and looked for strange faces to attack.
Human beings usually choose to spend money to eliminate disasters. Of course, those who are unwilling to bleed will be arrested as suspects. Even if they are released without charge in a few days, they will still have to suffer in jail for a few days.
The prosperity of Daliang City is no less than that of Handan. This city is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and is a gathering place for business travelers from various countries. Its commerce is extremely developed.
"I wish I had such a city!" Ji Jie couldn't help but sigh: "Just the tax revenue brought by merchants every month is already very objective, let alone other things. The Wei State can stand firm in troubled times.
Its survival has a lot to do with its huge business income."
The development of commercialization has made all kinds of materials abundant. The first thing Ji Jie did was to purchase more weapons and equipment for the Zhaocheng Guard. Here, various military equipment can be circulated at will without state control.
Feather arrows, crossbows, weapons, shields, armor, and even military cooking stoves and vehicles were all available. He began to make purchases in a big way. In order not to attract the attention of others, he bought some in one store and then immediately changed to another. He was very happy.
It wasn't until he was almost out of pocket that he stopped and went to the wine shop to inquire about Wang Ding's whereabouts.
Liquors are often the most chaotic place in a city, but they are also the place where information circulates the most. He first asked people about the last coalition organized by Zhou Dynasty to resist Qin, and then slowly found out what he wanted to know.
content.
The result was surprising: Wang Ding actually fell into the hands of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji. This important minister of the Wei state who had been demoted for several years now had no real power in his hands. How could he become the master of Wang Ding?
When he inquired further, the drunkards couldn't tell anything useful, so he had to give up temporarily and go to Lord Xinling's mansion.
It is not easy to meet Wei Wuji. Although he is now in the cold in front of the door, there are few carriages and horses, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The official position is gone, but the official power is still there.
After the incident of stealing amulets to save Zhao, Wei Wuji was jealous of King Wei An. In addition to the power in his hands being weakened step by step, the three thousand disciples he had supported also left one by one and switched to others. The few who remained were still
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
Knocking on the door, a stooped old man slowly opened the heavy door a crack and asked: "What do you do for this young master?"
Ji Jie had already thought of a countermeasure and said with a smile: "My name is Ji Jie, and I came here to seek refuge with Lord Xinling. I wonder if your Majesty will be at home?"
The auspicious festival is the homophonic pronunciation of Ji Jie!
The old man stared at Ji Jie's face for a long time before saying: "Young man, my king already has no official title. Why don't you choose to join others at such a young age, such as the popular general Xiao Wei?" Mou, or the new Prime Minister Li Qian!"
Ji Jie shook his head and said seriously: "How can one success or failure determine victory or defeat? I believe that your Majesty will turn around one day, and the incident of stealing the talisman to save Zhao shows your grandeur and extraordinary strategy. How can it be?" How can the mighty warrior Wei Mou be compared with the mediocre Li Qian! Although I have no strategy, I think I have the ability to help you make a comeback."
The old man was moved by this, opened the door completely, and said: "Young man, come in quickly, I will take you to see your Majesty. The world is not ancient, and there are fewer and fewer young people like you with true knowledge and insights!"
The old man thought, regardless of whether you have real ability or not, your unique insights can tell that this is an extraordinary person. If Lord Xinling wants to turn around, he really needs such people.
Wei Wuji was more decadent than Ji Jie had imagined, but after a few words of encouragement from him, he immediately regained his long-lost look.
Who kind of person Ji Jie is, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as someone who is well-read in classics. I just heard him analyze the root cause of Lord Xinling's demotion incessantly, and then gave a strategy on how to make a comeback.
Wei Wuji was convinced, stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Mr. Jijie is not old, but his insights are beyond ordinary people. Wuji has learned a lesson! Please ask Mr. Jijie to live in my house from now on. Wuji will definitely respect him." If you are a distinguished guest, you will definitely be rewarded generously after the event is completed!"
Ji Jie's goal was achieved. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty is polite, I will do my best!"
After successfully breaking into the Xinling Lord's Mansion, Ji Jie was ready to find a suitable opportunity to tell the story about Wang Ding. Just when he was about to talk about it, someone came to report to General Wei Mou asking for an audience.
Ji Jie proposed to avoid it, but Wei Wuji asked him to stay and see Wei Mou together, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Mr. Xinling, you are fine!"
"It's okay, okay, an idle person can't be as proud as a general!"
The two exchanged a few words and sat down separately. Ji Jie stood behind Wei Wuji, five or six meters away from Wei Mou, so there should be no flaws.
"Who is this?" Xiao Wei Mou asked, pointing at Ji Jie.
Wei Wuji smiled and said: "He is my disciple, his name is Ji Jie, and he is also my confidant. If you have anything to say, General, please just say it!"
Through the conversation between the two, Ji Jie learned that Xiao Wei Mou was once a disciple of Wei Wuji. After his recommendation, he served in the army. This man was so sophisticated that he was promoted to the general of Wei Wuzu, the most powerful army in the Wei army.
Later, Xiao Wei Mou gradually broke away from Wei Wuji's control and became the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, controlling hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers.
There is another more important thing. The Wang Ding from the Great Zhou Dynasty first went into the hands of Xiao Wei Mou, and then he personally gave it to Wei Wuji. Why should something with such important symbolic meaning be given to a person who was demoted? Xiao Wei Mou What's the idea? Ji Jie couldn't figure it out, so he had to wait until he left before asking.
"He said he felt sorry for me and wanted to repay me for all the years of cultivation he had given me!" Wei Wuji said.
Ji Jie shook his head and said: "It must not be like this! Wang Ding is not an ordinary thing. No matter who gets it, there are only two choices: first, hide it without anyone noticing and take it as your own. ; Second, dedicate it to the king. Even if he has a high position, he is not qualified to enjoy the king cauldron, let alone give it to others, and he is so blatant, what do you think, your Majesty?"
Wei Wuji took a breath of air and hurriedly asked for advice on how to deal with it.
