Chapter 127 Excuses
In the 19th year of King Yushou, autumn.

The country of Wei was hit by a drought, and after the drought of the whole summer, the crops in the fields were not harvested. When the people had no food to eat, some grain merchants in the country who had accumulated a large amount of grain maliciously raised the price of grain. It has become a sky-high price, and the rulers of Weiguo not only did not allocate funds to borrow grain to help the people tide over the difficulties, but even did not have any control over the malicious driving up of grain prices by grain merchants.

As a result, disaster victims were everywhere in the country, and countless people died of starvation. The corpses that can be seen everywhere on the roadside are shocking.

Under such circumstances, Shen Guo, Jin Guo, and Chen Guo, which are bordered by the west, north, and east sides of the Wei State, jointly declared that the Duke of Wei had paid the tribute to the emperor late this year, and that Wei Guo disrespected the emperor as an excuse. At the same time, troops were sent to attack Weiguo.

Nowadays, everyone in the mainland knows that with the continuous compression of the king's land and the decline of economic strength, the Yu Dynasty's national power and military power have declined significantly. In contrast, the vassal states are becoming stronger and stronger.

Under such circumstances, the majesty of the emperor is naturally getting worse day by day, and it has long since lost the scenery it had when the Yu Dynasty was first established.

The power of the Son of Heaven declined, and all the vassal states no longer respected the Son of Heaven. Almost all countries were late in paying tribute.The three kingdoms of Shen, Jin, and Chen used this as an excuse to attack the state of Wei. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just an excuse.

Don't say that Weiguo suffered a severe drought this year, causing heavy casualties and national power to decline greatly.Even without this drought, Duke Wei's incompetence and militarism would have turned this former hegemony into a piece of fat that everyone could bite at will, and it could not withstand the attacks of neighboring countries at all.

And Weiguo's fertile land rich in iron ore has long been coveted by neighboring countries, and this year's drought has only advanced the time for their invasion.

In the living room of the main hall of the Fengming Hall in the palace complex of the Duke of Wei.

Mrs. Xiao was sitting in the main seat, and Wei Ying was sitting in the first seat below her. At this time, the two were sitting opposite each other, both of them were full of unresolved worries.

Mrs. Xiao called Wei Ying over and explained her intentions. She wanted to send her to the Xiao family in Zhangdi, and then asked the Xiao family to try to send her abroad to avoid the war.

Hearing this, Wei Ying shook her head firmly and said, "Mother, at the moment of life and death for the country of Wei, my daughter can't leave, and she will never leave!"

"Stupid girl." Mrs. Xiao sighed softly: "Yiwei Kingdom's current appearance is absolutely unable to withstand the attacks of Shen, Jin, and Chen. You, a girl, can't help you at all. Ying'er, If you don't leave now, a few days later, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

Wei Ying looked at Mrs. Xiao steadfastly, and although her brows were full of worry, she said firmly: "Mother is right, with the strength of our country of Wei, we can't resist the attack of the Three Kingdoms, but we can't give up on this, and let them Do anything reckless on the land of our country! We can also ask other countries to send troops to help us, whether it is gifts or land, as long as we send a discerning person to other countries, we will be able to tide over the difficulties after successfully asking for help !"

"Ying'er." Mrs. Xiao's voice was extremely soft, and she sounded very powerless, and said: "We Weiguo, where can we find a discerning person?"

Wei Ying froze for a moment, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and a layer of helpless haze shrouded it.

That's right, the imperial court of Wei State is full of treacherous villains of Ji Tongfang's lineage, capable people with lofty ideals in the country have no possibility of promotion, and hate the smoky atmosphere of the entire imperial court, they have already gone to other countries to develop.

In the entire Weiguo, where can I find a useful person?
