Wei Wuhou

Chapter 746 Invited by Xiao Ziji

(Everyone, I stayed up all night to write a chapter, please subscribe, let's comment and interact!!)

On April 23 in the fourth year of Marquis Wei, Wu'an.

It was already the eighth day after Jinyang was captured, and it was on this day that the news was brought to Wu'an by Pegasus, and at the same time, the head of Lord Tang came along.

When he learned that Jinyang had been captured, Wei Wuji quickly summoned important officials Yu Yongming Palace to discuss matters, and he was the first to share the news with them.

There were five important ministers called by Wei Wuji to Yongming Hall, namely Prime Minister Guo Liangdong, Tingwei Zhao Yu, and Yushi doctor Zhang Yu.The generals are Xu Anhong and Gao Chengde.

After Chen Wanyun was sent to Yanshan, Gao Chengde, who was seriously ill, moved back to Wu'an, and he arrived only three days ago.

And this veteran who was ill hadn't rested for two days after returning home, before he was called to the palace by Wei Wuji to discuss matters. I have to say that this was a bit cruel.

So as a way to make up for his mistakes, Wei Wuji gave Gao Chengde a seat in the Yongming Hall, which made Gao Chengde a little panicked.

"Gentlemen, just now I got Zheng Chang Memorial, Jinyang City has been captured... Tang Bo's head was also sent to Wu'an!" On the throne, Wei Wuji picked up a silk book and said to the people below.

This is news of a great victory, so everyone present bowed and said: "Great victory ahead, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Wei Wuji had a smile on his face, and then said: "It's also thanks to the help of all of you, the soldiers in front are fighting with their lives!"

Afterwards, there was a burst of praise, and Wei Wuji was a little flattered by the senior officials below, which made the atmosphere in the hall look harmonious.

Compared with the sensual pleasures of silk and bamboo in the harem, this kind of conquest of foreign wars can satisfy Wei Wuji more, so today is the happiest day for him in three years.

But after laughing, Wei Wuji also said objectively: "Although Tang's troops are sent down, we should also understand that Tang's army is weak and incompetent... Defeating them is expected!"

At this moment, Xu Anhong and Gao Chengde really admired the young monarch by keeping a clear head and explaining in time.

This is the achievement of destroying the country. It was only 12 years after Zhaohou ascended the throne that he defeated the Chen country. This successor took down the Tang country in only three years. He is entitled to be proud!
But Wei Wuji is not proud... Many people know that they can win without being arrogant, but how many people can do it?So Wei Wuji is worthy of admiration.

At this time, Prime Minister Guo Liangdong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, how can the Tang Kingdom be weak against our great Wei Tianbing!"

The prime minister stood up to speak, and Tingwei and Doctor Yushi also stood up and said some beautiful words, and the meaning in the words was closely following Wei Wuji's thoughts.

It can be said that Wei Wuji's training of the aristocratic family in the past few years has been very effective. These people have already learned to move closer to the will of the monarchy.

Civil officials can only talk nonsense in battle, but at this time Xu Anhong asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the memorial has mentioned, what is the current situation in Qin?"

Wei Wuji read Zheng Chang's memorial carefully, so he replied: "According to Zheng Chang, on the day when Jinyang was captured on April [-]th, Qin's army rushed to the bank of the Ming River, but they could only look at the ocean and sigh. Already!"

Under the natural danger of the Ming River, it is unrealistic for Qin's army to cross the river, unless they are willing to risk Wei's attack on them halfway.

Qin Guo was able to send a large army to take a great risk. How could they take a greater risk to cross the river to fight the Wei army when Jinyang had already fallen!

Thinking of this, the sitting Gao Chengde said: "Your Majesty, in this way... our army's war in the Tang Kingdom should come to an end, but I don't know how long this confrontation will last!"

After taking Jinyang City, although the Qin State could not attack the east of the Ming River, it was also impossible for the Wei army to attack the west of the Ming River. The two armies could only face each other across the Ming River.

I have to say that the veteran has a strategic vision, and with just a few words, he has launched the general trend between Qin and Wei, and Wei Wuji can't help but admire him.

Wei Wuji said with a smile: "The old general has been shouting to tell his old age... Now it seems that the strategy in his chest is still the same as before!"

To be praised by the monarch, no matter whether you can afford it or not, you have to be humble a few times.

Then I heard Gao Chengde say: "I have lived for many years to have this insight, but I am not as wise and ambitious as Jun Shang Zao. After three years of succession, I have already destroyed the country!"

Wei Wuji waved his hand, no matter how high the position these people are, and what meritorious service they have made... In the end, they are still ministers, and ministers must submit to the monarch, so flattering is not surprising.

At this time, Wei Wuji smiled and said: "Everyone, just now the widow said that Tang Bo's head was sent to Wu'an together, do you know who sent it here?"

Who would have guessed that, with so many people in the Xiguan camp, it is possible to send anyone!

Then I heard Xu Anhong say: "I don't know, please show me!"

Wei Wuji didn't say it clearly, but looked back at Yu Zhong who was beside him, and the latter naturally understood.

Then Yu Zhong shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuan...Xiao Zi...Ji, see you!"

Just as Qin and Qi are duchies, Wei is a marquis, Tang, Chen, Song, Lu and Zheng are uncles, and small countries as third-rate small countries are viscount countries.

And Xiao Ji, the king of the country of Xiao, is called Xiao Zi, so in the state of Wei, he is called Xiao Ziji, which means Xiao Ji, the viscount of the country of Xiao.

Outside the main hall, Xiao Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, stood a little weak on his legs, but after hearing the servant's shout, his whole body became excited.

Xiao Ji knew that the time had come to decide his own life and death, and everything depended on the reward or punishment of the monarch in the palace, and the punishment was death.

After stepping into the main hall with his head down, Xiao Ji didn't even see how many people were in the hall, so he directly saluted and said, "Xiao Ziji pays homage to Marquis Wei!"

Xiao Ji came to pay homage, and knelt down directly to Wei Wuji. Although he was very humiliated in his heart at this time, his face looked very natural.

Of course, Xiao Ji's face is still full of fear and uneasiness at this time, it's not pretending, fear is also filling his heart now.

On the throne, Wei Wuji looked down at Xiao Ji for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that someone will kill you if you betray Great Wei?"

A secret passage came...Xiao Ji had thought about these issues for a long time, so he replied: "The guilty minister dare not argue, I just ask you to treat me, Xiao Guogong, for the sake of the guilty minister who killed Tang Bo." room!"

As soon as Wei Wuji heard this, he knew that although this person said that he only needed to treat Xiao Guo's office well, in fact, what he cared about most was his own life and death, and the other party must still think that he had a chance.

So Wei Wuji was unmoved, and continued to ask: "First you rebelled against Wei and returned to Qin, and now you rebelled against Qin and returned to Wei... Do you think that the widow will let you, a capricious person?"

Xiao Ji couldn't help spying in his heart at this moment, although this Wei Guoguo is young, he is not easy to deal with... He doesn't follow his routine at all.

So when it came to the second question, Xiao Ji didn't intend to play tricks. Who knew if Wei Wuji would give him a third chance.

Then I heard Xiao Ji say: "The sinner knows that his crime is serious, and he is willing to surrender the title of the country to forgive his crime... I also hope that the king will forgive him, Xiao Guo will follow the king's side closely in the future, and punish the ministers who are not!"

The title of descending country...Xiao Guo is already the title of Viscount, and if he is demoted again, he will become the lowest level of baron. There has been no such nobleman since a hundred years ago, and Xiao Guo has become the only fourth-class country in the world!

No... Wei Wuji suddenly thought that if Xiao Guo was demoted to baron, then Xiao Guo would essentially exist in name only!

Wei Wuji suddenly understood what Xiao Ji meant, he was planning to give up his power and preserve his wealth in the name of baron!
Wei Wuji was right in guessing this point. After seeing the collapse of countries like Chen Guo, Tang Guo, and Xu Guo, Xiao Ji decided to withdraw from the game of feudal lords.

Retaining the nominal existence of the Xiao Kingdom, retaining the name of the baron princes...Compared with those extinct Guozuo Xiaoji, I think it is very cost-effective, and this is also worthy of the ancestors under the nine springs.

When big countries are vying for supremacy, these small countries are destined to be destroyed. Xiao Ji has seen through all this at this time, so he didn't feel much reluctance after saying these things.

But at this time, Wei Wuji thought more. What Xiao Ji said was to confer the title of Xiao Guo in the name of Wei Guo, which meant that he was allowed to exercise the power of the emperor!
You must know that only the Emperor Zhou of Shangluo has the right to promote and dismiss the nobles of other countries!
Prime Minister Guo Liangdong also thought of this very quickly, so he listened to him and said: "Your Majesty, since Xiao Zi's confession is sincere...and he has made great achievements in killing Tang Bo, I beg your Majesty to spare his life and grant his request!"

After Guo Liangdong, Tingwei and Doctor Yushi, who are human beings, also thought of that level, so they soon stood up and seconded.

Immediately, Xu Anhong and Xu Anhong also seconded their words, and it was rare for a group of important ministers to reach a consensus.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ji couldn't help but relax most of his nervousness!
So he raised his head slightly, and carefully looked at the young monarch on the throne, everything depends on the other party's final decision!
After a long time, Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "This discussion is of great importance, and I still need to think about it... Let's make a decision in three days!"

Afterwards, Wei Wuji announced the end of this summoning, which made Xiao Ji's heart suspend after he had just relaxed, and the road ahead seemed to be so confused.
