Chapter 64: The Sorrow of the Warring States Period

"Alas! Born in the house of kings, there are also troubles in the house of kings! After talking about the old ancestor King Wei Hui concealing the news of his death, the crown prince Wei Yu sighed.

I saw that his face was sorrowful, and he looked like he was suffering. He picked up his wine glass and invited Peng Yu to drink.

He sat in the middle of the main hall, and Peng Yu sat in the position of the guest secretary on the side. They were in a position that was one step higher than the floor of the hall below.

In the hall below, desks and seats are placed in an orderly manner. It's just that! There were no seats at the moment, all seats were empty.

Today! The crown prince Wei Yu just invited Peng Yu to a banquet. And! Let Peng Yu sit in the position of guest secretary. Visible! is still very polite to Peng Yu. Not only because Peng Yu is his uncle, but also because Peng Yu has just saved his life.

It was at this time! Two heavily armed guards followed the maid who served the food. The two of them, one left and one right, stood on both sides and looked at Peng Yu. Their hands were pressed on their swords, as if they were ready to do anything.

Peng Yu felt that something was wrong, so he quickly put down his wine glass and looked at the two unfamiliar guards vigilantly. And then! Puzzled, he glanced at the crown prince Wei Yu.

That means: you? What do you mean by that?

Since you have to let me enter the Wei Palace, you can treat me like this, isn't it? Still is? You tricked me in to kill me?

"Hello! In order to ensure the safety of the prince, please hand over the sword on your body! One of the guards looked into Peng Yu's eyes and said.

"Sabre?" Peng Yu instinctively responded.

"Sabre! We've discovered a short sword hidden in you! The other guard said in a soothing tone.

"You guys? This is? When Peng Yu heard this, he was suddenly a little angry. Talking! Look towards the crown prince Wei Yuan.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that the guards suddenly broke in for this matter, Prince Wei Yu shouted on the spot.

"Prince! You are the prince! We protect you by the will of the Lord, so we must keep you safe and prevent any accidents from happening! The fierce guard explained.

"Prince! We're just doing things according to the law! The kind-hearted guard also said.

"Stand down!" Prince Wei Wei glared at the two of them and shouted.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, they looked like they would not stop until they reached their goal, so they had to ease their expressions and said: "If I hadn't met my uncle to save me just now, I would have been assassinated by the spies of the Qi State!" Stand down! ”

"Prince!" The fierce guard interrupted, "We are here to protect the prince's safety!" So! We can't compromise on this! All those who are close to the crown prince must be unarmed. ”

"If he kills me! Why wait until now? Kill me on the way! ”

"It's not the same thing! Prince! Things on the road, we don't know, are not in our area of responsibility! This has entered the Wei Palace, and we must act according to the law! ”

"This?" When the prince heard this, he had nothing to say.

Peng Yu sat there and didn't move, looking at the three of them.

He never thought that there would be times when he couldn't be a prince himself. Even in your own palace, you can't have the final say.

"Hand over the sword, we'll keep it for you!" The good-natured guard held out his left hand and begged.

Seeing Peng Yu's ugly face, Prince Wei Yu was so anxious.

Although he is the crown prince and the prince, his father specially arranged a special guard for him in order to ensure the safety of the prince. If the prince had an accident in the Wei Palace, they would be responsible. So! These guards are often very fucked up and don't give him face as a prince and prince.

Seeing that the prince Wei Yu was embarrassed and anxious, Peng Yu didn't want to intensify the conflict, so he had to stretch his hand out of his arms, pick up the hidden short sword, and put it on the desk.

I thought: If I want to kill you, do I still need to bring a hidden weapon? The dagger is just something I carry with me, and I'm used to it.

"It's hard for you! Uncle! Seeing that the guards had taken away Peng Yu's short sword, the prince didn't give him any affection, so he arched his hand towards Peng Yu and said apologetically.

"It's fine!" Peng Yu softened his expression and said with a pretending to be indifferent.

"That's how to be born in the house of kings! People who don't know think it's good, but it turns out not to be good! It's better to be born in a noble family! If you are an ordinary nobleman, you can still survive. Or! Live in luxury. And we! But no! Especially the Prince! Not even more! Drink! ”

Prince Wei Yu picked up the wine glass, signaled, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Peng Yu didn't speak, but also picked up the wine glass and drank not a drop of wine.

"As the crown prince and prince, it is not just as simple as inheriting the title, we want to inherit the Wei State! We must keep the ancestral inheritance from being lost, not the enjoyment of the king. When you truly become a king, you know the weight on your shoulders!

It's easy to be a foolish king, but that's to trade ancestral industry and land! When someone else's hegemony comes, can you not resist? If you don't resist, you have to cede the land! And so on! How much land do you have to cut? I am afraid that before the end of age, the land will be ceded to the light, and it will perish! Alas......"

When it comes to being a prince and a king, this prince has more and more words.

Listened to the words of this prince? Peng Yu suddenly felt sympathy and felt pitiful to be a king and a prince.

"In this era of princes competing for hegemony, everyone is persecuted! I don't know who started it, and I started to fight for hegemony. Outcome! Grievances accumulate deeper and deeper, and once the country becomes rich and powerful, it begins to settle old scores. Others have bullied me, and now that I am strong, I will definitely take revenge.

And also! If you are strong, even if you don't have the ambition to bully others or fight for hegemony, but others are worried that you have, so! It will frame you and drag you into the middle of the war.

Even if you don't have the heart to fight for hegemony, but in the next generation, maybe they think differently from you and have the heart to fight for hegemony. So! In this troubled world, none of us can be on our own. Even if we are ourselves, we can only guarantee that we will not fight for hegemony during our period! But there is no guarantee that future generations will never go to war?

Maybe? This is the zeitgeist! In the face of the trend of the times, we cannot be ourselves! We are all pushed forward by the tide of the times, and we can't change it! At last! The world has entered into endless wars! No one is a winner! No one is the winner in the end, they are just passing by! The tragedy of repeating history ......"

After listening to the words of the crown prince Wei Yu, Peng Yu also felt a lot.

During his life with Dai Zi, he could hear Dai Zi's exclamations almost every day! So! Prince Wei Yu's narration did not bore him. Opposite! He also had to think deeply: What happened to this era? Wouldn't it be impossible not to fight for hegemony?

Don't? The world lives forever in the agony of war, in hatred?

Life? Is that what it looks like?

If that's the case? What else is the meaning of life?
