When Wei Guofu wanted to leave the palace, no one dared to stop him.
After Wei Xiang Zisang was assassinated, it would be meaningless for the senior official Tu Su to stay in the court. Since he could not realize his ambition, he had no choice but to leave Wei and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living an idyllic life with mountains and rivers. There is no conflict in the world, what a pleasant thing it is! Tu Su stood in front of the cases, put his official seal on them, put on civilian clothes and walked out, looking back at the hall of the Tufu, waiting for it to turn around. Wei Guofu Chong stood behind it, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Queen Mother." Wei Guofu Chong stood in front of Tu Su and said: "Master, please get up." The superior Tu Su then stood up. Wei Guofu looked at Tu Su and said: "Tu Qing is leaving Wei." Tu Su said: "Exactly, the king will not listen to any advice from his ministers. After thinking about it, there is no need for your ministers anymore. I am still standing here. What's the point of being above the court? It's better to resign and return to the fields." Wei Guofu Chong stood in front of Tu Su, his eyes fell on Tu Su, and said: "It is better to hide in troubled times and to rule the world. It would be better if you meet a wise king. That's it." Tu Su looked at Wei Guofu Chong, kowtowed and said, "Queen Mother." Wei Guofu Chong said, "Tu Qing is leaving the Wei State, what can the Ai family say? The Ai family has a letter from the Prime Minister to A letter from you, Tu Qing had better read this letter before deciding whether to leave the Wei Kingdom." After saying that, he walked into the hall of the Tu Mansion and placed the letters on several cases. Tu Su then followed up, stood in front of several cases, picked up the letter with one hand and opened it. Wei Guofu Chong sat aside and said: "The Prime Minister knew that he would not be able to return to Hexi. He knew that he would be assassinated by the Chong with ulterior motives, but he still went and was loyal to the Wei State for the last time. This letter was written by the Prime Minister before he left. Yes, I entrust the entire Wei State to Tu Qing." Then he stood up and saluted: "Tu Qing, the Wei State entrusts you to me." Tu Su looked at the letter written by Prime Minister Zisang and was deeply moved and knelt down. He kowtowed and said, "Okay, Queen Mother. I promise you that by staying in the Wei Kingdom, I will live up to the great trust of the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister and the late king." Fu Chong of the State of Wei walked up and stood in front of Tu Su and said, "Thank you, thank you very much."
General Wang Cuo sent the coffin of Wei Prime Minister Zisang to Daliang, the capital of Wei. The old master came forward to dissuade him and said: "Your Majesty, Qin General Wang Cuo has escorted the coffin of the Prime Minister to the main beam of the Wei capital. This Wang Cuo is a general of the Qin State." The king of Wei asked: "Old Master's Do you have a plan in mind?" The old master stepped forward with his staff and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zisang is a sinner of our Wei Kingdom. Your Majesty should send troops to kill him and prevent Prime Minister Zisang's coffin from entering the city." Behind the curtain, Wei Guofu couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked out and stood in the court hall, saying: "If the two armies are fighting, we will not kill the envoys, let alone Qin General escorting the Prime Minister's coffin into our Wei capital." King Wei suddenly Shocked, he immediately knelt down and said: "Mother." The old master and the courtiers all knelt down and said: "Queen Mother." Wei Guofu said: "Prince, you said you have grown up, can you tell who is loyal? Who is the traitor? They instigated you to offend the Qin State and deceive you into being young and inexperienced in order to profit from it." Then he faced these ministers and said: "You all get up."
King Wei then sat in front of several cases. Under the pressure of Wei Guofu, he did not dare to speak and could only lower his head. The old master looked up and said: "Queen Mother, your Majesty is the king of our Kingdom of Wei. It seems a little inappropriate for the Queen Mother to do this." The noble officials behind him began to encourage, saying: "You are not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. Please step back, Your Majesty." Living in the harem." Wei Guofu Chong just smiled and said: "Old Master, you used the king's hand to assassinate the Prime Minister. Now that you have succeeded, you should be happy." The old Master said directly: "The Prime Minister is Wei. If the country's sinful insect is not eliminated, it will be punished by nature. It deserves its punishment." Wei Guofu's insect sneered and said, "Old Master, you are such a loyal minister! I'm sure the old Master's assassination of the Prime Minister was for personal gain. You Secretly cultivating one's own strength above the court, forming cliques for personal gain, what does this mean? Is it for our country, Wei? Now that Qin has invaded our country of Hexi, can the old master go to Hexi to retreat from the enemy?" The old master immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty." Wei Guofu Chong stood on the court and faced the old master and said: "The Prime Minister knew that going to Hexi was a dead end, and he knew that the Qin State was trying to alienate people. I knew that your old master would instigate the king to assassinate the prime minister on his way back to Wei, but he went anyway, repelling the strong Qin in Hexi, for the sake of the king, and for the sake of the Wei State to be loyal to the king for the last time. Old master, you formed a clique for personal gain, could the prime minister just Is there no reason to kill you? Remember that you are a veteran of the three dynasties and have served me loyally for three generations of the kings of Wei State. You have toiled hard even without merit. The Prime Minister reformed the law in Wei State, established laws and regulations, and enforced the law impartially. He never used the law for personal gain or discussed strategies. You old man The Grand Master has never been the opponent of the Prime Minister." The old Grand Master kept kowtowing and said: "I am ashamed, I deserve to die for my crime." Wei Guofu said: "The Grand Master is old and has lost his beloved son. The Grand Master should treat him as such. This is a warning. I will do my best to assist the king and make suggestions for our country, Wei. Why did you do this little thing?" Wei Guofu Chong looked at the King of Wei who was sitting behind him and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister assists the late king. In the Wei Kingdom, It is only through the reform that we are as powerful as we are today. Your Majesty, you should take your civil and military ministers to see off the Prime Minister and see him off on his final journey."
The King of Wei and his ministers of civil and military affairs left Daliang, the capital of Wei, and personally protected the spirit of the prime minister. When they entered Daliang, the capital of Wei, the people wept in the streets and bid farewell to the prime minister Zisang. The King of Wei built a mausoleum for Zi Sang, erected a monument and wrote an epitaph, affirming Zi Sang's achievements in Wei, and named Zi Sang the Lord of Changting.
When the old master returned to his residence, he sighed all day long and closed the door without seeing any officials. Standing alone in the garden, the cold wind came again, and the weather gradually started to get colder. The old master stood on the stone steps, looking at the garden or looking around. The vegetation is withering, as if there is a sense of desolation. When it was walking down the stone steps, it accidentally slipped and the wooden stick flew out and rolled down the stone steps. Once it fell, it never got up again. Lying on the ground covered with fallen leaves. The turbulent wind blew up the fallen leaves, gradually covering its body. Wei Guofu put himself under house arrest in the harem and was not allowed to leave the palace gate without permission.
The Qin army reorganized their troops and horses in Hexi, strengthened their troops, forged ahead, and attacked Anyi. Soon Anyi was captured and advanced towards Daliang, the capital of Wei. The so-called Wei soldiers were completely wiped out by the Qin army in Anyi, and Wei soldiers withdrew from the stage of history at this time.
The military information quickly spread to Daliang, the capital of Wei, making the people in the city panic. The King of Wei sat in the court hall and faced the ministers of civil and military affairs and said: "The Qin army attacked our Anyi, Anyi fell, and the army in Anyi was completely wiped out. Is our Wei Kingdom really about to perish?" Then he stood up and said. "My lords, tell me, who can retreat from the Qin army? Who~?" A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is advancing towards the main beam of our capital, Wei. Our country of Wei is in danger." The king of Wei sat in front of several cases and said: "I know this. How can I retreat from the Qin army?" The minister said: "Now Qin is strong and Wei is weak. The only way to do this is to sue for peace from Qin and cede the land of Hexi and the important town of Anyi to Qin." Qin." King Wei said anxiously: "As long as Qin can retreat, I will agree to anything." Then he sent envoys to the Qin army camp.
The Wei envoy entered the Qin army's camp. Standing on both sides were Qin's generals. The Wei envoy looked at these mighty generals and shrank back, almost afraid. The generals standing on both sides roared, making him startled. His legs became weak. He knelt down and looked at Qin Xiang Fa Zhang, who was sitting in front of several cases, and said: "Prime Minister." Qin Xiang Fa Zhang said: " Are you an envoy from the State of Wei?" The envoy from Wei replied, "Exactly." Fazhang, the prime minister of Qin, asked, "Why did the envoy from Wei come to our camp of the Qin army?" The envoy from Wei replied, "To seek peace." Fazhang, the prime minister of Qin, sneered. Said: "Seek peace, then your Wei State seeks peace on peace terms?" The envoy of Wei raised his eyes to Qin Prime Minister Fazhang and said: "We, the State of Wei, are willing to offer the land of Hexi and the important town of Anyi." After saying this, he presented the map of the land of Hexi. and a map of the important town of Anyi. Qin Xiang Fa Zhang looked at the map held up by the envoy of Wei and said, "Send it up." The envoy of Wei respectfully presented it and placed it on top of the cases before Qin Xiang Fa Zhang. Qin Prime Minister Fazhang opened the scroll, and then the Wei envoy stepped back and stood. Fazhang, the Prime Minister of Qin, looked at the map and said, "Your King of Wei had known that this would happen, so why did he do it in the first place?" Wei made Qin retreat by ceding territory.
Night falls, and there are sparse stars in the night sky. The King of Wei stood outside the palace door of Wei Guofu Chong with a lantern, and saw that the door of the palace was closed tightly. King Wei stood outside the door and called: "Queen, Queen, please open the door." King Wei stood outside the door for a long time, then sat on the stone steps and put the lantern aside. The King of Wei looked up at the faint stars in the night sky and said: "Mother, I know you don't want to see me. I want to tell you that Qin has withdrawn its troops, but Wei is weak and Qin is strong. Only 200,000 troops are left. Anyi's army has been wiped out, and our Wei State has no soldiers. I really don't know how to govern this country?" At this time, the door of the palace opened, and an attendant walked out of the palace. King Wei stood up and walked up and asked: "Queen Mother, it is willing to see me." The attendant replied: "The Queen Mother does not want to see any insects. This is the letter the Queen Mother gave you. Your Majesty will understand it at a glance." King Wei immediately accepted it. I passed the slip and found out that these were the last words of Prime Minister Zi Sang. Appointing the senior official Tu Su as prime minister would enable Wei to protect itself. After reading this slip, King Wei looked into the palace and said: "Mother, my son knows what to do." At this time, Prime Minister Zisang's last words were like a beacon in the fog, providing a bright light for him. After pointing out the direction, King Wei left happily.
The next day, King Wei drove to Tufu to visit the doctor Tu Su. Tu Su, the senior doctor, went out to greet him and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Wei got out of the car and stood in front of Tu Su, the senior doctor. He helped Tu Su up with both hands and said, "Please stand down." After that, King Wei said again, "I was a widow before. Chong is too young, headstrong, and does not defend his loyalty and treachery. Your Majesty has been wronged. The Qin State attacked me in Hexi, and I Chong destroyed the Great Wall, causing the Qin army to advance straight in. It is my fault." Tu Su looked at the standing officer. The King of Wei in front of him has finally grown up, and he is so happy! He said: "Your Majesty, correct your mistakes when you know they are wrong. There is no greater good." Then he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it is my fault that I did not dissuade Your Majesty in time." King Wei said: "How can I blame you? Please forgive me. Get flat."
The senior doctor Tu Su stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please!" The senior doctor Tu Su stood aside and invited King Wei into his mansion. King Wei walked into the butcher's house and knelt down in front of several cases. Tusu, the senior official, knelt down and sat aside. He stood up and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty." King Wei stood up and kowtowed in return. Then he said, "I misunderstood the words of a treacherous person. As a result, the entire army was annihilated in Anyi, and our Wei State was forced to cede Hexi and its important town of Anyi to the Qin State to seek peace. I hope Tu Qing will not postpone your appointment as the prime minister of our country." Tu Su, the senior official, said: "How can I be able to take on the position of prime minister? I hope the king will choose someone else." The king of Wei stood up and walked forward, kowtow. He bowed and said: "Qing Tu, do you want to live up to the last words of the former prime minister? Are you not willing to assist the widow? Is our country really hopeless? Is our country really going to die? Are you dead?" The doctor stood up, walked up, knelt down and bowed three times, and said, "Your Majesty." The King of Wei begged again, "I still ask you to serve as Prime Minister. I, Wei, are in trouble, so Tu Qing should not postpone it any longer. Tu Su, the senior official, raised his eyes and said, "Okay, I am willing to take up the post of prime minister." The king of Wei worshiped Tu Su, the senior official, as his prime minister.
In the court hall, the King of Wei sat in front of several cases and said to the civil and military ministers who were standing in the hall: "The doctor Tu Su controlled the water in Ye, so that the people in Ye had enough food and clothing. The former prime minister went to Hexi, and the doctor Tu Su controlled the floods in Ye. I am very relieved that you will serve as the acting prime minister to provide support for the army ahead and prepare food and grass to defeat the Qin army in Hexi. I am willing to worship the doctor Tu Su as your prime minister. All the ministers should work together with the prime minister to govern the Wei state."
