After the first of the year.
Zhao Shu cultivated his character at home and prepared for the destruction of Wei. He didn't know much about Wei, most of which were concentrated in the period of King Wei Hui.
That long-lived king witnessed the arrogance of the Wei State and also witnessed the gradual decline of the Wei State.
It also witnessed the rise of Qin Xiaogong and Qin Huiwen.
Cong Shang Jun Wei Yang and Zhang Zi Zhang Yi both came from the Wei State. It can be said that the word "Hui" is a shame for the Wei State, but it is just right for the Qin State.
Historically, the demise of the Wei State did not cause much trouble. If the Wei State was compared to a person, it would almost be the end of his life.
These days, Zhao Shu has read almost all the files of the Qin royal family on Wei, and he can't help but be filled with emotion.
The kings of the Wei Kingdom can all be regarded as representatives of longevity. From Wei Wenhou to Wei Wangji, there have been eight kings.
One hundred and seventy-eight years!
Among them, Wei Wenhou reigned for fifty years and Wei Huiwang reigned for fifty-one years.
And these two people were also the ones who started the rise of Wei and the decline of Wei.
The era of Wei Wenhou was the founding era of the Wei Kingdom's prosperity, while the era of Wei Hui King was the era of Wei's continuous defeats starting from that time.
The Wei State's trend of external generosity and internal taboos squeezed out the great talents of the Wei State one by one. Even the great talents of the royal family could not be driven away and were shelved in the cabinet.
Wu Qi was suppressed in disguise, so that Wu Qi went to Chu, turned a blind eye to Shang Yang, and entered Qin with a request for talents.
His open defiance of Zhang Yi made him the biggest contributor to Ying Si's ascension to the throne. His jealousy and persecution of Fan Ju made him boldly enter the Qin Dynasty and put forward the strategy of making friends far away and attacking closely.
He brutally destroyed Sun Bin and allowed him to join the Qi Dynasty, annihilating the elite Wei soldiers and general Pang Juan in one battle. He turned a deaf ear to Wei Liaozi and allowed him to provide the Qin king with a strategy to unify and destroy the country.
As Le Yi and other famous generals were allowed to leave later, Wei no longer had any great talents.
A country has been repeating a terrible mistake for nearly two hundred years, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
Nine out of ten great talents in the Warring States Period came from Wei.
In a time of great strife, talents are the most valuable, but the Wei State expelled the talents one by one, which sowed the seeds of Wei's demise.
After drinking the old rice wine in one gulp, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of emotion. In his opinion, if the Wei State could reuse its talents, the Wei State would be the most capable and best-equipped country to unify the world.
However, because of King Wei's arrogance, the good situation was ruined in one day.
Now, it has been reduced to a small country and is in constant panic.
.......
"Young Master, the king has summoned you, go to Zhangtai Palace immediately!" Zhao Gao's voice came, alarming Zhao Shu.
"good!"
Nodding, Zhao Shu walked out of the study and faced Zhao Gao, saying: "Order Zhao, if there is anything you need to do first, I will go on my own."
"promise."
Zhao Gao nodded, explained to Zhao Shu, and said: "The king summoned the general and others, and I came to the prince's house first."
"Sir, I will go ahead and take my leave!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Shu ordered Tie Qi, "Tie Qi, deliver the Zhao Mansion Order for me!"
"Sir, there is no need to..."
Watching Zhao Gao leave, a flash of light flashed across Zhao Shu's eyes. He knew in his heart that March had passed and it was the time for spring plowing.
At this time, if Qin Wangzheng summoned him, it would definitely be a matter of destroying Wei.
This winter has made everyone in the Qin Dynasty impatient. Similarly, Qin Wangzheng can't wait any longer.
Although the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Han have been destroyed, there are still two great kingdoms in the world, Qi and Chu. For Great Qin, the pressure is great.
After all, the land of Chu is vast, has a large population, Qin and Chu are feuding, and there are generals such as Xiang Yan. Once the war starts, it will be a hard and deadly battle to destroy Zhao.
Similarly, Qi State is not willing to give in too much. Although there has been no war in Qi for a long time and its military equipment is lax, Qi State is close to the coast. These areas have been recuperating and are extremely prosperous.
Once such a big country wakes up, it can organize hundreds of thousands of troops in a hurry. The Qin government and the public do not dare to wait for it.
The monarchs and ministers of Qin could not give Qi too much time, so the destruction of Wei must be carried out within a short period of time.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhao Shu turned to the elder on the side and said: "Get ready to drive the chariot and enter the palace immediately!"
"promise."
Half an hour later, Zhao Shu arrived at Zhangtai Palace. At this moment, the only people in Zhangtai Palace were Chief Shi Li Si, Prime Minister Wang Wan, and Guo Wei Wei Liao.
"The general will pay homage to the king. The king has been here for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty has been around for ten thousand years——!" Zhao Shu walked into Zhangtai Palace and immediately saluted the king of Qin.
Since Qin Wangzheng confided his feelings to him, Zhao Shu paid more attention to etiquette and was more respectful when facing Qin Wangzheng.
"No need to be polite, sit down!"
"General, thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking him, Zhao Shu just turned to Li Si and others and said, "Shu has met you all!"
"I've seen the young master before!" Everyone returned the salute. After all, Zhao Shu had saluted them, so naturally they were not ignorant.
After a group of people exchanged greetings with each other, General Wang Jian and others rushed to Zhangtai Palace and saluted King Qin.
"The last generals are waiting to pay homage to the king. The king has been here for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty has been for ten thousand years——!" With Wang Jian as the leader, all the generals saluted one after another.
"My dear friends, you don't need to be polite, sit down!" Qin Wangzheng smiled and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
"I will wait and thank you, Your Majesty!"
Compared with civil servants, military generals are more cautious, especially under the leadership of Wang Jian. They all know that in recent years, they have made great achievements in the war to destroy the country, and the civil servants above the court are extremely dissatisfied with them.
At this time, it is natural to keep a low profile and not let the civil servants catch the attack.
Everyone greeted each other and sat down. Zhao Gao directed the servants to serve tea to everyone one by one, and then left Zhangtai Palace.
After sitting down, Wang Jian spoke first and said, "Your Majesty has summoned the generals and others. What are your orders?"
He is the Great General of the Qin Dynasty, the leader of all the generals. Since Wei Liao arrived early, he was the only one who could speak.
Because he saw that Zhao Shu didn't want to speak at all, as if he was in love with the tea.
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng smiled heartily, his domineering gaze passed over everyone, and then he spoke: "It is now the time when spring is blooming, and the warriors of Great Qin and all of you have also rested for many days."
"I plan to raise an army to destroy Wei. I wonder if the generals and dear ministers have any advice for me?"
Qin Wangzheng opened his mouth to set the tone of today's court meeting, then looked at the ministers with a smile and said nothing.
As a king, you only need to be decisive when decisions need to be made, and have an ear when discussing.
In this aspect, Qin Wangzheng did a good job, but at this moment, Qin Wangzheng's eyes were always on Zhao Shu and Fusu.
Of course, it was less about Zhao Shu and more about Fu Su. There was a hint of expectation hidden deep in the bags under his eyes.
