Wei Wuhou

Chapter 770

(It’s really not easy to code out a chapter!!)
Shangluo, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, ushered in a new morning on the seventh day of September.

The princes and ministers were busy with official duties, or dealing with people, so they were active in the Forbidden City early on.

Even when the news of Wei Wuji's pilgrimage to Shangluo came, the activities of princes and ministers in Shangluo became more frequent.

Because these people also know that Marquis Wei is not a good comer, and if everyone wants to preserve their status and power, they must find a way in advance.

The Shangluo courtiers knew this truth, and Ji Xiao, as the emperor, of course knew it too, but he had no one to turn to for help.

In the sleeping hall, Ji Xiao was a little restless at this moment, and next to him was a servant holding a teacup, looking at the emperor with helpless eyes.

Ji Xiao has been like this for the past few days. This situation started when he learned that Marquis Wei was coming, and it has been five days.

At this time, the voice of the servant came from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Bing asks to see you!"

Hearing the word Xiao Bing, Ji Xiao felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and then saw him sitting back on the throne and said, "Show him in!"

After a while, Xiao Bing, whom Ji Xiaoyi regarded as his confidant, walked in, and paid respects to the emperor after meeting the emperor.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Xiao Bing kowtowed.

Ji Xiao hurriedly called him up, and then asked, "Xiao Qing, where is Marquis Wei now?"

Xiao Bing was sent out by him to inquire about this, so as soon as we met, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

Since he was not called up, Xiao Bing could only kneel on the ground to answer, and only listened to him say: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wei has crossed the river yesterday and set off from Luo County this morning. I think he will be able to go to Shangluo in two days tomorrow!"

Hearing this news, Ji Xiao was a little downcast. In fact, he was like a mirror in his heart, but he needed to use Xiao Bing's mouth to say it.

Thinking of Wei Wuji getting closer and closer, Ji Xiao also felt a little flustered at this time, he was still not ready to meet Wei Wuji.

To be more precise, the current Wei Wuji is no longer a certain person, but represents a military group capable of overthrowing the Zhou family.

What's more, the other party's arrival has no good intentions. In front of the behemoth Wei, the Zhou family is like a petite baby.

"Wei Wuji's trip, I'm afraid he's going to do something wrong!" Ji Xiao sighed while holding his forehead.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was so worried, Xiao Bing also felt heartbroken. The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil!

But as a close minister of the emperor, Xiao Bing certainly couldn't stand on the sidelines, while listening to his suggestions: "Your Majesty, people in Shangluo City are panicking now, you should deal with people's hearts, otherwise you will be in chaos first!"

What Xiao Bing said in his mouth was pointing at the princes and ministers of Shangluo. It was the running of these people that made people in Shangluo panic.

Ji Xiao had actually heard about these things, so he said angrily: "These sons, who have enjoyed the state's favor for generations, did such disloyal things!"

But after cursing such a sentence, he didn't give a reasonable solution, which made Xiao Bing below a little speechless.

So Xiao Bing said: "Your Majesty needs to summon the ministers as soon as possible, and understand the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, so that we can work together... Only then can we deal with the situation of Marquis Wei's visit!"

Ji Xiao nodded and said: "Xiao Qing's words are reasonable, and I will call a group of ministers to meet in the afternoon!"

Indeed, the people in Shangluo City should know that the world still belongs to the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou still belongs to him, Ji Xiao.

After being pointed at by Xiao Bing, Ji Xiao is now very aware of the necessity of uniting with the courtiers, otherwise the Zhou family will not even be able to maintain the last face.

Immediately, Xiao Bing comforted him again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how powerful Wei Hou is, this world is still the world of Great Zhou, and you are the emperor who is ordered by heaven!"

Although Xiao Bing said it simply, Ji Xiao still felt that he had no idea. After all, Great Zhou was in decline, and Wei Guo was the most powerful prince at that time.

Thinking of this, even though she was the emperor, Ji Xiao felt that she was a head short.

Even at this time he asked: "Xiao Qing, what courtesy do you think I should greet Marquis Wei? Do you want to go out of the city to greet him?"

Xiao Bing did not expect the Son of Heaven to have such an idea, but at this moment he had no time to be surprised, and immediately objected: "You must not, Your Majesty... You are the Son of Heaven, how can you condescend to welcome your subjects?"

Ji Xiao was just asking, not really wanting to greet her, and then she heard him say, "In Xiao Qing's opinion, what should I do?"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Bing said, "Your Majesty only treats Marquis Wei with the courtesy of a duke, and he should keep his duty as a courtier!"

Ji Xiao was actually not very happy with Xiao Bing's proposal, because it might offend the Wei people, and it's not worth it just for face.

But the Zhou family has only face left now, so Ji Xiao has to agree to Xiao Bing's request, which is why people can't help themselves in the Jianghu.

After arranging so many things, he just waited for Ji Xiao to go down to implement them, but thinking that Wei Wuji would arrive two days later, he still felt uneasy.

…………

The Son of Heaven is afraid of Marquis Wei, and so is the common people below. If Marquis Wei leads troops to cause chaos, their families will be ruined.

But right now, the countries are not at peace, coupled with the strict management of household registration in this era, there is no large-scale escape in and out of Shangluo.

There are those who are less courageous, and naturally there are those who are more courageous. People like this in Shangluo City usually hang out in wine shops.

As the saying goes, wine is strong and courageous. These people don't have much fear of Wei Wuji, but are more curious, and even have some admiration.

What impressed these people the most was the time when Wei Wuji, who was still a son, represented Wei Guo in the alliance with other countries in Luo.

The young master who subdued the Qi State back then and won the first place in the hunt has already become the monarch of the Great Wei State in just a few years.

And counting Wei Wuji's achievements over the years, it is even more dazzling!

The Xiongnu, the confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty, was defeated twice by Wei Wuji, and even the Xiongnu Shanyu died in his hands.

We must know that the reason why the Zhou royal family declined rapidly at the beginning was not because of the large-scale invasion of the Hu people in the north, which exhausted the elite army of the Zhou royal family, and then lost their ability to suppress the local area.

And in recent days, this monarch, who had only succeeded to the throne for only four years, even defeated the Qin State, which was also a great country in the world, in a great war, chasing death and chasing north to occupy the land of Qin State's two counties.

It can be said that Wei Wuji is the embodiment of courage, courage, and victory, how can this not make people feel admirable.

Of course, these people can have such a perception, and it is also due to the credit of the stick... Of course, they have now been merged into the Fengying Division.

In an unremarkable wine shop in Shangluoxi City, the informants of the Fengying Department mixed in it, observing what was going on inside.

When Marquis Wei was going to Shangluo, security work was the top priority. As the people who entered Shangluo City in advance, they had to pay attention to the situation in the market at all times.

At this moment, someone in the wine shop whispered: "Everyone knows that after two days, Marquis Wei will be on his way to Luo!"

Few people knew about this matter, so Fengyingsi's informant immediately became vigilant, what kind of idea did this person tell this news at this time!
Then, the informant of the Fengying Division is doomed to be disappointed!

Just then the man continued: "Then Marquis Wei is a first-rate legend in the world, my old man must squeeze over to see what it's like when Marquis Wei enters Shangluo!"

Another expression of curiosity, the informant in the restaurant has heard this kind of words countless times.

But just like what the person said just now, the informant from the Fengying Division is also full of expectations for the upcoming monarch.
