Chapter 87: Lord Sangzai

Under the report of the spies, the matter is clear!

That's it! The King of Wei invited Xinyi to go to Daliang to see the King of Wei, which should be the idea of the white guards. Not to invite him to be a guest, nor to invite him to discuss national affairs, but! I want to frame him!

King Wei, under the bewitchment of the white guard, may have believed the words of the white guard. So! And he sent an envoy.

OK! Things have been reversed! Bai Guard's framing of others failed, but he was abolished by Peng Yu.

Good! My son-in-law is a cow fork!

Xinyi was happy in his heart and applauded. It's true! Kudos to son-in-law.

I didn't dare to go to Daliang before, but now Xinyi has the confidence and courage to go. But! Soldiers still have to be brought, just in case!

has not been in contact, suddenly came and went, who knows what conspiracy is behind the other party? Without the traitorous villain of Bai Guard, you can't just think that King Wei is very wise! Imagine! Will there be a traitorous villain stage next to a wise king?

Even without Peng Yu's reversal victory, Xinyi would have gone to Daliang to meet the King of Wei. As a courtier, if the king of Wei wants to summon you, you have to go, you must go. Otherwise! The trouble is great. King Wei will misunderstand you and will have all kinds of speculations about you.

Regardless of whether the King of Wei has good intentions or conspiracy, as a "foreign minister", he can lead troops, just in case, which is the practice of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But! Soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter the capital, and could only be stationed at a certain distance outside the city.

And then! Stay in the barracks until the king sends for you.

Whether the king has good intentions or a conspiracy, at this moment! War is on the verge of breaking out. If the king's side had no conspiracy and good intentions, the foreign ministers he had invited might have taken advantage of the opportunity to rebel. So! War is on the verge of breaking out.

In the past, the Xinyi family was involved in the state affairs of the Wei State, and they were the real prime ministers of the Wei State.

But since King Wei Hui moved the capital to Daliang and came, considering that Xinyi's power was too great, it was so close to Daliang City. So! began to find ways to weaken the power of Xinyi and alienate the relationship with Xinyi.

When Princess Ye's grandfather arrived, he basically did not participate in the affairs of the Wei State. The ministers of the Wei State really became foreign ministers and did not live in the capital of the city.

Originally! As a prime minister, he has to go to court every day and discuss state affairs with the king. But during the reign of King Wei Hui, people deliberately alienated you, sending you out for such a thing today, and sending you out for such a thing tomorrow, and as a result, Xiangzai became a "foreign minister".

Appearance! That is, the sabi who deals with external affairs. In modern language, it is also equivalent to the position of diplomat and foreign minister. But! It has more powers than the Minister of Foreign Affairs and is able to take charge of some affairs independently.

Because King Wei Hui intends to clean you up, weaken your power, and alienate you, so! No matter how you handle things, even if you handle things perfectly, people are not satisfied, what can you do? People just find a reason and let you go home and rest.

Gradually! Xinyi moved out of Daliang City and returned to live in his fiefdom and city. At last! completely severed relations with the King of Wei on the side of the Great Liang. Of course! It's just a power overhead.

On the surface! If there is something, someone still has to be sent to ask, sometimes it is "cut first and then played". I'll get things done first, and then I'll let you know.

Even! Direct command you how to do it. For example, send troops! How many troops you have to send to help the main Wei army fight. Or! Independently go to complete combat missions.

Xinyi was ostensibly the prime minister of King Wei and an official, but he had long ceased to take on and manage the affairs of his own office.

The prime minister is hereditary, and it is determined according to the status of the nobility and the size of the fief, and the king cannot change it. So! You are the prime minister, you will always be the prime minister, and you will be the prime minister of Wei for generations. But! After being stripped of power, the prime minister exists in name only. You can't take part in the affairs of the state, only the affairs of your own fiefdom.

The courtiers lived in the capital, and their relationship with the king was generally good. So! They went to the king for safety.

And the foreign minister is different! They have power, strength. Who knows what the king called you for? I didn't take Lao Tzu seriously before, why do I have to deal with Lao Tzu now? Isn't it? Want to frame me?

So! When foreign ministers meet the king, they all have to bring a certain number of troops, and they will make some preparations. If you go stupidly, your life may be gone. After someone kills you, they will make up a crime for you, then! Everything is legal anymore.

Especially when the first lord dies and the new lord succeeds to the throne, the foreign ministers generally have to lead troops to meet them. Otherwise! It is likely that he will be killed by the new master.

After a few days of preparation, Xinyi transferred 20,000 elite soldiers to accompany him to the capital Daliang. Other than that! It also mobilized troops from other quarters to move closer to the Xinyi city in case of accidents.

People have no intention of fighting tigers, and tigers have cannibalism, so they have to guard against it.

In addition to mobilizing troops, Xinyi also specially invited the old nobles in the fiefdom and invited them to enter the capital to meet the king of Wei.

Just when he was ready to go, Dai Zi came back from Daliang City. He inquired about everything clearly, and came back to bid farewell to Princess Ye. Of course! also reported the situation to Princess Ye. What he inquired about was the same as what the spies had reported.

After Xinyi and Princess Ye learned of the situation, they were even more relieved. But! For the sake of safety, the soldiers still had to be brought with them. It's just that! No longer stationed outside the city. But! Stationed farther away from Daliang City.

Trust! Just camp farther away. did not trust, and was stationed at the foot of the city walls. That's it!

Knowing that Peng Yu might really go to Qin State, Princess Ye naturally agreed to Dai Zi's request and asked him to go to Qin State to find Peng Yu.

Xinyi learned that Dai Zi was Peng Yu's master and adoptive father, so! I wanted to keep Dai Zi for a few more days and let him follow him to see King Wei, who happened to lack such a master by his side.

Imagine! Dai Zi's apprentice Peng Yu is so powerful, isn't Dai Zi even more bullish?

Although Dai Zi was reluctant, he was also gracious!

Day 2! Xinyi took 20,000 elite soldiers and drove to the capital of Wei.

In order not to cause misunderstanding between the King of Wei and the people, Xinyi sent someone to report to the King of Wei first. On the team's side, it is also a banner to meet the King of Wei.

The people of Wei, especially the people of Xinyi, learned that Xinyi went to meet the King of Wei, and the formation was too huge, and they were all arrogant.

The people of Xinyi all knew: King Wei had hollowed out the power of Xinyi. So! I hope that Xinyi can raise his eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief again!

Because Xinyi's tax policy was good, the people in the fiefdom supported him very much.

Soon after coming to the territory of Daliang, Xinyi ordered people to station soldiers and horses thirty miles outside the city. And then! Don't go! Sitting in the barracks, waiting for the King of Wei to send an envoy to pick him up.

The next morning, the crown prince himself came to greet him and invited the prime minister into the city. Xinyi then took the old nobles in the fiefdom and went together.

Dai Zi, as Xinyi's personal guard, accompanied Xinyi around.

With a master like Dai Zi by his side, Xinyi, who has always been timid and afraid of things, seems to be much more energetic and confident.

In order to show his sincerity and respect for his elders, the king of Wei personally welcomed him out of the city gate and waited for the arrival of Xinyi.

To know! Xinyi has a long generation.

Although there is a distinction between a king and a courtier, everyone is a member of the same family, and the generations are left there. So! It is also understandable that the king of Wei welcomed out of the city gate.

After a welcoming ceremony, Xinyi followed the King of Wei and the Prince of Wei into the city.
