Chapter 113 The Emperor and the Minister and Father and Daughter (monthly ticket 100
"Your Majesty?" Ying Zheng's answer obviously did not completely reassure Meng Ao.
"General, it won't take too long, it only takes three years." Ying Zheng said.
Three years? Three years later, it will be the seventh year of the Qin Dynasty. Twenty years old? The age of crowning? Getting married? Pro-government?
Thinking of all the things at this time, Meng Ao felt completely at ease. He found that even after living for so long, Ying Zheng was still not able to calm down.
Three years later, it's very stable and good.
"In this way, I will feel at ease." Meng Ao said.
"General, please take good care of your health for the time being. There will definitely be a war involving the seven countries in the next three years. How can such a war be without the presence of the General," Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the alliance?" Meng Ao said solemnly.
"The six countries are not all mediocre. How can they not see the current crisis? If it were not for this year's locust plague, next year might be the year of war. However, because of this year's locust plague that has affected the four countries, they do not have enough resources.
Strength initiates war." Ying Zhengdao.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. This year has already been the case. Next year, if the countries in Shandong can recover from this locust plague, they will have the power to launch a war the year after." After Ying Zheng's reminder, Meng Ao immediately thought of it.
understand the concepts in it.
"General, there are some things that need to be considered. The war in the next year is not only a war, but also a test. A war that can truly see the strength of our Qin generals. In that war, use all your strength.
Our Qin army, no general can stay out of it," Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, I am determined to live up to the king's expectations, and the king has truly found a general who is good at fighting." Meng Ao said.
Meng Ao knew that he had not been in the position of general for a long time. After all, he was too old. If it were not for Ying Zheng, he would have been ready to remove his armor and return to the field.
And now, Meng Ao has another reason to persist, so how can a war sweeping the world miss him. Treating that war as the final battle of his life, his life's war career can be considered completely complete.
Already.
While the monarchs and ministers of Xianyang Palace were having a conversation, the same scene was happening in the Palace of Wei thousands of miles away.
"Sikong, I heard that you are planning to send your daughter to Qin?" King Zeng of Wei, who had just succeeded to the throne, asked suspiciously to Wei Yong who had fulfilled his mission.
"Report to your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Wei Yong replied without hesitation.
The speed of Wei Yong's reply and the decisiveness of his attitude made Wei Wangzeng think of a sentence in a daze: A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried.
But, is Wei Yong a gentleman?
"I want to hear Sikong's explanation." King Wei said, suppressing the suspicion in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this matter originated from Lu Buwei, Prime Minister of Qin." Wei Yong said calmly.
"Lu Buwei?"
"Yes, it is precisely because of Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei is worried that there are too many people from Chu in the Prince's Palace, and wants to balance the power of the Chu State in the Qin Palace, so he needs to add other countries besides Qin and Chu in the Qin Palace.
People." Wei Yong explained.
"Gu can understand the reason for what Sikong said, but why is it Sikong's daughter and not the princess of my Wei Kingdom?" Wei Wangzeng asked.
For the marriage between the two countries, the princess is the most suitable candidate. Only when there is no one of the right age among the direct bloodline of the royal family, the side branch of the royal family will be considered, and the Wei Yong lineage is the side branch of the Wei royal family.
But now in the Wei palace, there are more than one or two, whether it is King Wei's adult sister or the daughter who is about to become an adult. Even if they want to marry with Qin, it should be those princesses, not Wei Yong's daughter.
Although Wei Wangzeng knew that even if something like that really happened, he might not be willing to do it, but whether he wanted to or not was his own business, but what Wei Yong did exceeded this limit.
"Because Lu Buwei wanted to win over me. He knew that I only had one daughter at his knees. He took it for granted that as long as he had his daughter in his hands, he would be able to do things for Qin. But..." Wei Yong paused at this point.
Come down.
"But what?" Wei Wangzeng asked.
"However, Lu Buwei is an old and cunning person after all. Of course, his actions cannot be that simple. He knows that even if I will not serve the Qin State because of this, the king will definitely doubt me after this incident. In this way, I can't do it again.
Now that I have served the King, no matter whether I serve the State of Qin in the future or cannot serve the King in the future, for Lu Buwei, it will be a sure-profit deal." Wei Yong said righteously.
"But, this has nothing to do with whether Sikong promised to Qin, right?" Wei Wangzeng did not say that he was so easily fooled.
"Yes, everything can't be hidden from the king, and I do have my own difficulties. However, our Wei State has the Qin army pressing down on the border, and Lu Buwei is pressing hard against me. How dare I delay the important events of our Wei State because of my little daughter's happiness or not. Therefore,
I have no choice but to agree to Lu Buwei." Wei Yong said seriously.
Wei Wangzeng remained silent, apparently thinking about the truth or falsehood of Wei Yong's words.
"Your Majesty, if the State of Wei can put down the dignity of the king and negotiate peace with the State of Qin, it doesn't matter if I abandon a daughter." Wei Yong stated calmly.
And Wei Wangzeng finally felt a little moved.
"Besides, Lu Buwei really thought that he could make me serve Qin in this way. He was underestimating me. What is his daughter before the country? Lu Buwei also underestimated the king. How could the king do anything to me because of this clumsy strategy?
Suspicion." Wei Yong said and looked at Wei Wangzeng with burning eyes.
This is a man who sincerely seeks the country. Of course, Wei Wangzeng will never admit that Wei Yong's words speak to his heart, and he feels a little bit elated because of Wei Yong's praise.
"Sikong is suffering, but Gu is not suffering. If everyone in the Wei State can understand the painstaking efforts of Gu and Sikong, why can't we work together to stand firm in this panic and troubled world? However, those people only
For the sake of his own reputation, he would disregard the interests of the country and instead ridicule our short-sightedness. It is really ridiculous." Wei Wangzeng said with emotional resonance.
Gu and Wei Sikong are the same, they both carry a heavy load for the sake of this country. Wei Wangzeng said to himself in his heart.
Not only did Wei Wangzeng successfully survive the crisis, but he also took advantage of the situation to gain a good impression. Wei Yong left the Wei Palace and returned to his residence with satisfaction.
However, Wei Yong did not return to his study room where he liked to stay, but came to the courtyard where his daughter lived.
"Father." A woman who was over twenty years old appeared in front of Wei Yong. This age is already quite old for a woman who is not yet married. She is Wei Yong's only daughter, and her name is Wei Yong.
Slim.
Wei Yong looked at the daughter in front of him, slightly disappointed. Although Wei Xianxian had good looks, she was just good. The gentle-looking Wei Xianxian could only be regarded as a beauty, but that was all. And the beauty, Qin Palace
There is no shortage of it.
Fortunately, although Wei Xianxian's appearance is not too outstanding, she already has a gentle and gentle temperament. Wei Yong, who has also been through the teenage stage, knows very well what a gentle elder sister who is several years older can do to a person.
What an attraction it has for young people.
"Well, you will be going to Qin soon, did you know?" Wei Yong said.
"My daughter has heard some rumors." Wei Xianxian replied without sadness or joy.
"Well, you won't be able to stay at home for too long, so be prepared." Wei Yong rarely showed a kind smile belonging to his father.
