Wei Wuhou

Chapter 809 The Daily Life of the Two Monarchs

On the eighth day of April in the tenth year of Marquis Wei, Qilu border area.

The Qi army has been stationed here for more than three days, but the monarch still has no idea of ​​directly entering the Lu country, so the Qi army can only continue to wait here.

It is normal for the low-level military officials and soldiers to be confused, but the generals who followed Tian Yuwen did not know the king's plan.

I have doubts in my heart, but as a courtier, I can't ask the monarch directly, so these generals of the Qi army can only hold back their doubts.

At this time, the monarch Tian Yuwen was standing on the high slope, staring at the distant fields in a daze.

Standing next to him was Tian Yuwen's close minister Zhang Hao, who was specially inquiring and delivering news for him.

"The widow left Linzi, those people didn't make any small moves, right?" Tian Yuwen asked calmly.

Zhang Hao replied respectfully: "Report to your lord, everything is normal, and the major families have not done anything suspicious!"

Although Tian Yuwen has reconciled with the family now, and has made the Zhuge family's prostitute the wife of the emperor, but he still cannot fully trust the family.

Afterwards, Tian Yuwen asked again: "I heard that Wei Wuji also went to the front line, where is he now?"

Zhang Hao was well prepared for his work, so he heard him say, "According to reports from Fei Ma, Marquis Wei is currently stationed in Suizhou, the county town of Longjiang!"

Tian Yuwen and Wei Wuji met each other more than ten years ago. Thinking of this now, Tian Yuwen has to sigh with emotion that time flies.

To be honest, when facing Wei Wuji head-on, Tian Yuwen still felt that he lacked confidence, not only because of Wei's strength, but also because of Wei Wuji.

"Okay, go down, and pay close attention to what the army says!" Tian Yuwen said to Zhang Hao.

Of course Tian Yuwen knew the confusion of the generals in the army, but he couldn't explain it to the generals.

The reason why he stood still was because Tian Yuwen himself was not ready for war, and it was difficult for him to gather courage in the face of Wei Jun.

What's more, such a large scale of war requires Tian Yuwen's careful consideration. How should we fight it?Or how can you not fight.

"Negotiating a peace...but I don't know if it's feasible? Our country of Qi is not ready yet!" Tian Yuwen said slowly.

Thinking of peace talks, Tian Yuwen thought of Qin State a few years ago. When the army of Wei State invaded, they also tried to negotiate peace, but in the end Qin State was defeated by Wei State.

Therefore, Tian Yuwen was very hesitant about his own thoughts, he didn't know whether his decision would be useful.

Moreover, could Wei Guo agree to negotiate a peace?This is also very important, and Tian Yuwen is also not confident about it.

Wei Wuji spent six years recuperating and attacking Wei State, will they give up?What does the Qi State do to make people give up?
However, Tian Yuwen couldn't find anyone to discuss these issues. His confidantes were either lacking in ability, or they were helping him to keep an eye on the state affairs in Linzi.

He has to think about it!
But anyone who knows Tian Yuwen will know that the so-called thinking of the king is just to give himself time to accept it.

…………

On April [-]th, the fourth day after Wei Wuji arrived in Longjiang, he was inspecting an official warehouse in Suizhou, the county city, accompanied by Zhou Bin, the governor of Longjiang County.

After coming to Longjiang from Wu'an, Wei Wuji still had to deal with a lot of official business every day, so this kind of inspection was quite rare.

A group of officials surrounded Wei Wuji, following Wei Wuji's footsteps, ready to listen to instructions at any time.

At this time, Wei Wuji was 31 years old, and he looked a lot more mature, and his two beards set off his majesty.

Pointing to the mountains of grain, Wei Wuji turned his head and said to the officials: "Food is the most important thing for the people, especially for wars. Food and grass are of great importance. You should be safe!"

All the ministers lowered their hands and replied, "I will obey the order!"

Then, Wei Wuji asked again: "Where is the county lieutenant?"

At this time, a military officer in armor took a step out of the crowd, and said: "The minister is here!"

"There is a large amount of food and grass in Suizhou City, so I entrust you with the responsibility of guarding it. Don't let me down!" Wei Wuji said slowly.

The Longjiang County lieutenant immediately knelt down and said: "I will be heartbroken to repay the king's high hopes!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and then let this person stand up, and then the group of people continued to walk forward.

And these officials in Longjiang County have to continue to bow their waists to listen to the instructions. In fact, this posture is quite tiring.

They are far away in Longjiang and have no chance to participate in the court meeting. These people now know how it feels for the central officials to go to court.

After inspecting this place, the only one who was able to accompany Wei Wuji in the end was Zhou Bin, the governor of the county.

Following Wei Wuji with Zheng Dali, Zhou Bin was also under a lot of pressure at this time, and the aura of the monarch alone made him feel so.

Just walking behind like this, Wei Wuji suddenly said: "Zhou Qing, how long have you been in Longjiang?"

Zhou Bin held his breath and said calmly: "Report to Your Majesty, I have been in charge of Longjiang for seven years!"

It is not uncommon in the officialdom of the Wei state to be a county guard for seven years and not be able to be promoted to the position of Jiuqing.

Then Wei Wuji said: "Longjiang and Qi are separated by a river, are the people who govern Longjiang the same as the people of Qilu?"

Hearing that the monarch tested him, Zhou Bin thought for a while and then replied: "Governor, although Longjiang and Qilu are only separated by a big river, the folk customs of the two places are different, and Qilu and Qilu are also different!"

Afterwards, Zhou Bin introduced the differences to Wei Wuji in detail, and Wei Wuji nodded repeatedly.

He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhou Bin's insight to be so profound, which surprised him.

After Zhou Bin finished his answer, the scene was silent for a while. The monarch's silence made him feel flustered. Could it be that his answer was not careful enough?

Although he has been a veteran of more than 20 years, Zhou Bin faced Wei Wuji at this time, but he was as terrified as those small officials when they met the county guard.

It took Wei Wuji a long time to say: "Zhou Qing has profound insights and is indeed a pillar of talent!"

"If the widow uses you to rule Qilu, I don't know if you would dare to take on such a big task?" Wei Wuji asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Bin once thought that he had heard it wrong, and the monarch actually asked him to rule Qilu.

You know, when the monarch asks a person like this, it means that he will be reused, and Zhou Bin can't believe it.

This is the treatment that only the confidants of the monarch have. How can he, Zhou Binhe De, be favored by the monarch? Is it because of the remarks just now?
But at this time, Zhou Bin couldn't help thinking too much, so he bowed and replied: "Your Majesty wishes, and I only obey my orders!"

Wei Wuji laughed, he likes this kind of courtier who is both capable and obedient, and Zhou Bin is undoubtedly this kind of person.

In Wei Wuji's view, he deserves to be called a talent in the position of county governor, who has such a deep understanding of the people under his rule and the people of neighboring countries.

Wei Wuji then said, "Qilu hasn't been captured yet, so you just agreed?"

Zhou Bin's face turned serious, and then he said: "Your Majesty is attacking Qilu with the might of the sky, how can these two countries stop it?"

At this time, Zhou Bin had another thing in Wei Wuji's heart, that is, he could talk.

Then Wei Wuji chatted with Zhou Bin again and asked him about his governance philosophy and experience in governing Longjiang. The two monarchs and ministers had a very happy chat.

And at this moment, Zheng Dali came to Wei Wuji, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi has sent an envoy to Longjiang, saying that he is negotiating important matters with Your Majesty!"

The conversation between Wei Wuji and Zhou Bin could not help but stop, while Wei Wuji fell into deep thought.

Have something important to discuss?Tian Yuwen doesn't want to negotiate a peace, does he?Wei Wuji thought so.
