The moon was in the sky, and the dim moonlight shrouded the entire Daliang City.
When we entered the city, the noisy night market had disappeared. On the huge central street, a lonely carriage was slowly moving towards the end of the street - where the Palace of the Wei Dynasty was located.
In the fog of late night, the sound of "squeaking" ruts echoed with the jingling bells in front of the carriage.
On the street, several patrolling soldiers passed by each other from time to time, but no one dared to come to investigate. Even from afar, they were already standing aside with their hands clasped in fists. Obviously, the bright lantern with the word "Wei" had already penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers.
Who can check it and who can't touch it? Obviously, these low-level people in Daliang City have their own ways to survive.
Of course, Lord Xinling, who was sitting in the carriage, was completely unaware of these things.
"Hurry up!" Lord Xinling's anxious look was clearly visible on his face, and he kept urging the driver: "Hurry up."
"Sit tight, Master!" The strong driver did not answer any more, and quickly used the whip in his hand to faithfully carry out Lord Xinling's instructions.
Then, the tinkling of the bells and the squeaking of the ruts became more and more urgent!
...
"Who broke into the palace?" The guard Hengdao in front of the palace gate stopped the carriage that had gradually stopped.
"My lord!" Lord Xinling jumped out of the carriage with a quick step, took out a palace entry token from his arms, and waved it at the guard in front of him. That was when Lord Xinling was in power, and the King of Wei personally issued the order to enter the palace, but there was no way he could cut it off first and display it later. However, the whole journey to the palace was smooth and unimpeded.
"I've met Mr. Xinling." Several guards greeted him hurriedly.
"I have urgent matters to meet with my king, please inform me as soon as possible." He said and walked towards the palace with the token in hand.
With Lord Xinling's aggressive behavior and the fact that he was holding a palace order, the guards dared not stop him, so they immediately divided into two groups. One hurriedly opened the door for Lord Xinling and led the way, while the other hurriedly asked the eunuchs in the palace to ensure his trust. And go.
...
"My king! My king!"
Not long after, the eunuch's order called softly from outside King Wei's curtain.
"What's bothering me, Wang Qingmeng?" A clear yet powerful voice sounded from inside the curtain.
The eunuch lowered his head slightly and replied: "Jun Xinling came into the palace at night and said that he had urgent matters and needed to meet with my king immediately..."
"Mr. Xinling?" Qingli's voice was obviously confused and a little angry, but she still had no more words. Immediately, inside the curtains, after a brief pause, a rough voice sounded again.
"What's the matter with Mr. Xinling?"
"To report to my king, Lord Xinling did not inform me. He only said that it was an urgent matter and it has been sent to the front hall." The eunuch's order did not add any exaggeration and described Lord Xinling's actions truthfully.
"Well!" Although King Wei felt unhappy (anyone would be unhappy if he was dragged out of his sleep), he still got up, packed up, and hurried to the front hall. From this point of view, King Wei can be regarded as a qualified king, at least he did not delay things because of his own indignation. The gentle tent is warm, the military and national affairs are urgent, and he can still handle them clearly.
But what surprised Lord Xinling was that he saw not only the King of Wei, but also a person he least wanted to see - a man dressed in green clothes that could not hide his pride, a trace of tiredness that could not hide his beauty, and more beautiful than a woman. Adding a bit of fortitude and a bit more softness than a man - Long Yangjun.
Obviously, it was this person who had just answered the question in the curtain.
"I have met my king."
"Um."
"I've met Lord Xinling."
"Long Yangjun."
The three of them greeted each other and sat down in order of priority. The King of Wei naturally sat on the main seat, while Lord Xinling sat on the right hand side of the King of Wei in a dignified manner. Lord Longyang was not surprised either. Then he reached the left hand side where King Wei started.
King Wei was not obsessed with beauty. As soon as he sat down, he asked Lord Xinling about his purpose. Lord Xinling immediately confessed and told how Lian Po came to his house in disguise, how he and Lian Po had an empty relationship, and finally reached a preliminary agreement with Lian Po.
The people around King Wei didn't hear anything about private meetings with foreign ministers, private alliances, or "entering the palace at night to disturb the king", they were all like floating clouds. Even Lord Xinling's talk of trapping Lianpo into Wei fell on deaf ears.
In my mind, only the three golden characters "Hanoi County" shine brightly.
Hanoi County! That is Hanoi County that countless Wei people miss! Hanoi County is known as a beautiful place both inside and outside! Needless to say, there are abundant supplies and a prosperous population. More importantly, this is not only the throat for the Qin army to go eastward, but also the barrier of the main beam of the Wei capital!
Since the Battle of Yique, the gates of the Wei Kingdom have been opened wide (the same is true for Han and Korea, or even worse). The capital of Daliang is always under the attack of the Qin army, just like Anyi back then, but today's Wei country, but there is no place and no national power to move the capital again. Therefore, the only way is to hoard a large number of troops in the capital city to deal with unexpected events at any time.
As a result, the people of Liang Dynasty were forced to join the arms race, and the people's power of the Wei Kingdom, which was already not rich, was greatly weakened.
If Hanoi County can be regained, it will undoubtedly severely cut off the tentacles of the Qin State in the east, and for the Wei State, there will be a qualitative leap in terms of both people's power and national power!
The land of my ancestors is back in my hands. Just thinking about it makes me excited!
My eyes are all red.
"Is what Mr. Xinling said true?" King Wei still couldn't believe the news he heard, and confirmed again: "Hanoi County? You mean you can take Hanoi County back?"
Lord Xinling was obviously speechless. The essence of his strategizing was obviously ignored by the King of Wei in front of him. Lord Xinling really wants to tell the King of Wei: It’s easy to get a thousand armies but it’s hard to find a general, my dear! The Hanoi County is nothing more than sixty cities. With Lian Po here, it can keep the Wei Dynasty safe for at least ten years!
Ten years of peace! How many things can I do? It seems that Shang Yang's reform period only lasted a few years. Whether the Wei Kingdom can return to glory may depend on this person!
It's a pity that Lord Xinling can't say anything, not even the slightest hint of his intention to reform. "If you are not secretive, you will lose your ministers; if your ministers are not secretive, you will lose your virginity." Lord Xinling is still clear about this truth.
Following the wishes of King Wei, Lord Xinling said: "If we plan things properly, there shouldn't be a problem."
"OK!"
"good!"
After receiving a positive reply, the King of Wei immediately blurted out two good words.
"This matter will be entrusted to Lord Xinling with full authority. I must get Hanoi County back for this king." In excitement, King Wei was about to entrust Lord Xinling with an important task.
"No!"
"No!"
Two voices, one from the left and one from the right, stopped King Wei from saying anything, but they shocked King Wei.
Why are the two of them still opposing each other?
