The disciples of Mingyue's Renzong in Qin Dynasty

"Never before, someone saw him once outside Daliang City, but now I don't know where he is!" said a minister.

"Also, Taoist disciples, Qin intermediaries, Luo Wang, and Shadow Secret Guards have all been mobilized on a large scale recently. It seems that they are ordered to find something!" The minister continued.

"Leave this matter to the prince!" Wei Wangzeng looked at the prince and said.

"No!" Prince Wei replied with a fake nod.

This is also Wei Wangzeng's test for him. Although the state of Wei has declined, one good thing about the state of Wei is that in the transfer of power, every king of Wei will first establish a prince when he is in power, ensuring that the power can be handed over to the next generation at any time.

"Mr. Xinling!" Wei Wangzeng frowned. After the death of Lord Xinling, he handed back the power in his hands to Wei Guo, and now it is in his hands. Now what he thinks about is whether to kill Black and White Xuanjian. Give the power to the prince.

Without this power, it would be too difficult for the crown prince to go up against Black and White Xuanjian. After all, Black and White Xuanjian is now a Taoist protector, with the help of Taoist forces and the support of Qin State's network. Two behemoths confront each other.

"Give it!" Wei Wangzeng thought for a while and said in his heart.

So after the court meeting ended, Lian Po led the army to garrison to prevent Bai Yifei's army from overwhelming the country, and Prince Wei was also called into the palace by the eunuch.

"The prince thinks he has the ability to kill black and white Xuanjian?" Wei Wangzeng looked at the prince and asked falsely in the palace of Wei.

Wei Jia remained silent. As the prince, he didn't know how to answer. If he didn't have this ability, would his father replace the prince? But if he could, he was powerless to resist with the support of two major forces, Black and White Xuanjian.

"Go to your grandma! Ask her to get the seal of Lord Xinling!" Wei Wangzeng said.

"My son thanked my father!" Wei Jia saluted and said, but his heart was extremely excited. He knew that his father was going to hand over the power of Lord Xinling to him, and his position as crown prince would be as stable as Mount Tai in the future. .

"Go!" Wei Wangzeng waved his hand to let Wei Jia leave.

"Resignation!" Wei Jia saluted again, it was the first time he saluted his father so seriously, and from today on, his position will be completely stabilized.

"Unexpectedly, this day is still here!" The Empress Dowager Wei looked at the prince and said with a fake sigh.

"Grandson has met grandmother!" Wei Jia sat down beside Queen Mother Wei and saluted.

"I already know the purpose of your coming." The Queen Mother Wei could no longer see clearly, but her eyesight was blind and her heart was clear. In the entire Wei Kingdom, she could be said to be the person who saw the most clearly.

"I think back then when my Great Wei moved from Anyi to Daliang, and dominated the Central Plains, no one dared to refuse to accept it, and Qin was also beaten by Pang Juan to only two counties. How domineering, so among the Three Jins, only my Great Wei was defeated. Known as Overlord Wei!" Wei Queen Mother sighed.

Wei Jia didn't say a word, he didn't see it when Wei State became hegemony, after he was born, the whole Wei State was surrounded by powerful enemies from outside, and internal disputes continued.

"My Great Wei could once again ascend to the position of overlord, but it's a pity that your grandfather did not get along with Lord Xinling, which caused Great Wei to lose his chance to dominate again!" Queen Mother Wei continued.

Wei pretended to be silent and nodded. In the era of Lord Xinling, their Wei country was so beautiful. Grandfather Wei Wuji led the five kingdoms to attack Qin and regained the land of Hexi. Zhao Wei, Han Yan and Chu were all headed by Great Wei. Unfortunately, the grandfathers But it was a disagreement, which led to power strife in Wei State and missed the opportunity to rise.

Chapter 462 The Situation of Wei State

"The Ai family knows the purpose of my grandson's coming here. In fact, the Ai family does not want this day to come. Thinking about my majestic Wei royal family, when will I need to use the power of foreign ministers to deal with foreign enemies?" The Empress Dowager Wei sighed.

"When my Great Wei ruled the Central Plains, even though Pang Juan was a general with an army of [-], and Long Jia commanded tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, my royal family of Great Wei could still hold two of them hostage. Why did we need the help of foreign ministers? "The Empress Dowager Wei sighed, the royal family of Wei is in decline, and the situation is declining. Now it is necessary to rely on the power of foreign ministers to deal with an assassin, which shows the decline of Wei.

Prince Wei was ashamed for a while, yes, when the Wei royal family dominated the Central Plains, why did they need to use the power of foreign ministers to solve the important affairs of the court?But now, to deal with a black and white Xuanjian, their royal family actually has to rely on the power left by Lord Xinling to solve it.

"This is the seal of Lord Xinling, but the Ai family still hopes that the crown prince can solve the matter with his own strength. After all, as the crown prince of a country, only the forces cultivated by himself are truly loyal to you!" Queen Mother Wei continued, with one side The gold token was handed over to Wei Jia.

"Grandson would like to listen to grandmother's teachings!" Wei Jia replied after receiving Lord Xinling's seal.

And he has also decided that he will not use Lord Xinling's seal unless it is absolutely necessary. As the prince of Wei, he is still in Daliang City. feel incompetent.

"Once upon a time, Princess Honglian of South Korea came to our Daliang to borrow food. Does the Crown Prince know why Ai's family borrowed food from Han?" The Queen Mother Wei asked Wei Jia.

"Because Princess Honglian also has the blood of our royal family!" Wei thought for a while and said, after all, Honglian is still his cousin, and she is deeply favored by the Queen Mother.

"That's [-] stones of military rations. Even if the Ai family loves Honglian, it's impossible to send it to South Korea!" Queen Mother Wei said.

"Grandmother wants to form an alliance with South Korea by borrowing food?" Wei Jia suddenly understood and said.

"In today's world, Wei Guo has Shengqi in the east and Qiangqin in the west. If we want to protect ourselves, we can only fight against Qiangqin by uniting the lands of the three Jins. The reason why Ai's family agreed to borrow food is because they hope that Han Fei can change the law. We will strengthen Han, and the crown prince will marry Honglian again, and let Han and Wei form an alliance to resist and strengthen Qin!" said the Empress Dowager Wei.

As the Queen Mother of Wei, it was impossible for her to lend food to Han Fei unconditionally because of her love. It was [-] shi of military rations, enough to support a [-] army for two months, so how could she just send it out like this.

"Your royal father only saw the menacing coming of Qiang Qin, but forgot about the prosperity of Qi!" Queen Mother Wei sighed.

"Qi State?" Wei Jia frowned. Qi State has not cultivated military equipment for 40 years, so Wei State has always been undefended in the east.

"The crown prince also thinks that Qi doesn't practice martial arts?" Queen Mother Wei frowned. Qi, which has not been in war for 40 years, is the only powerful country among the seven countries in the world that can compete with Qin in terms of national power. No one in the court of Wei pays attention to it Qi State.

"Our intermediaries in Qi State have never heard of Qi State's military training!" Wei Jia said.

"During Qin Xiaogong's time, I, Great Wei, can claim to have heard that the Qin State has repaired its military equipment?" Queen Mother Wei asked back.

Shang Yang's reform, the entire Qin State was submissive, but the entire Wei State did not find that Qin State had trained a new army. Until the reform was completed, Shang Yang led [-] Qin soldiers to fight Wei in Hexi, directly took back Hangu Pass, and captured Hexi Annihilated the entire Jingqi army left by Pang Juan.

The whole Wei country and the whole world knew that Qin country still had such strength. It was also in that battle that there was a saying that Qi martial arts was not as good as Wei Wuzu, and Wei Wuzu was not as good as Qin Ruishi, because they Wei Wuzu was indeed defeated. , a complete failure.

Wei Jia stagnates and breaks out in a cold sweat. Qi State Linzi can be said to be the largest capital city in the world today, with a population of over one million, much larger than Xianyang and Handan.

If the Qi State really repaired its military equipment, even if it secretly trained hundreds of thousands of troops, the Wei State would not be able to find out, and the Qi State could completely afford such an army.

"Nowadays, there is a king and queen sitting in the court of Qi State, and Qi Wangjian kneels on behalf of his mother, which makes the whole Qi State proud of having such a filial monarch like Qi Wangjian. It is conceivable that how many sons of Qi Wangjian will enlist in the army with an order!" Queen Mother Wei sighed.

Now that the king and the people of Qi State are united, if Qi Wangjian has ambitions, the entire Qi State can train a huge army in such a long time.

The most important thing is that in the war against the Huns launched by Qin and Zhao, their Wei State was unable to send out a large army and could only provide supplies. It means that Qi State has repaired its armed forces.

And the Qi State led the army out of the station, I am afraid it is also to train soldiers on the battlefield and let the soldiers see blood. Once this army returns, it will become Qi State's veterans and integrate into the new army, teaching the new army. , with one person leading one army, Qi will instantly have an army of 50 that has always been worthy of a battle.

At that time, in order to compete with the strong Qin, Qi will inevitably go out, and the target of the expedition will only be the three kingdoms of Yan, Wei and Chu. Among the three countries, if Qi wants to stop the war outside the country, it will definitely join hands with Qin. Divide into the Great Wei, with Wei as a buffer zone, and Qin also needs a buffer zone to avoid premature confrontation with Sheng Qi.

"Qi State really trains new troops?"

Needless to say how powerful a country has been without war for 40 years. Qin is an example. Qin lost Hangu Pass during the Xiaogong period, so it no longer participated in any wars. In just a few years, there were 40 Qin soldiers. And what about Qi, which has been free of war for [-] years?

"I hope it's just Ai's guess!" Queen Mother Wei sighed.

The world only sees Qin's tiger and wolf master, but forgets Qi, a big eastern country that has had no war for 40 years.

Wei pretended to be silent. He didn't expect that the situation of Wei State is so bad now, so can Wei State be safely handed over to him in the future?Even if it is handed over to him, is he capable of leading Wei Guo against Qiang Qin and Sheng Qi?

"So, the prince now knows why the Ai family appointed Prime Minister Lian Po as our general of Wei?" The Queen Mother Wei asked, looking at Wei Jia.

"Because the old general Lianpo is the last support of our country of Wei!" Wei Jia replied. They had been fighting for the position of Minister of Wei and the position of general before, but the forces left behind by Queen Mother Wei and Lord Xinling suddenly joined Wei. In the battle between the prime minister and the general, Lian Po, the famous general of Zhao State trained in Wei State, was still appointed. This caught them by surprise. Only now did he know how wise his grandmother's approach was.

"Prince, go see old general Lian Po!" The Empress Dowager Wei said, looking at Wei Jia.

"Grandson knows!" Wei Jia nodded, even if Queen Mother Wei didn't say anything, he would go to see Lian Po. Whether Wei Guo can survive or not depends on Lian Po.

If he wanted to become the king of the Wei state and ensure the survival of the Wei state, he had to go to see Lian Po.

Looking at the Queen Mother Wei who was sleeping on the couch, Wei called the eunuch in a low voice, and without disturbing Queen Mother Wei's rest, he left Wei Palace and went straight to the General's Mansion.

"Please see the prince?" Lian Po was also stunned, he was about to lead the army, what was the meaning of the prince coming at this time.

The most important thing is that he became the prime minister and general of the state of Wei, which is tantamount to touching the crown prince's cake, so he and the prince Wei family have always been in an antagonistic relationship. Now the prince's sudden visit is unexpected.

"The old man will meet you in person!" Lian Po thought for a while and said.

Wei Jia didn't take anyone with him, but quietly bowed and stood outside the General's Mansion, standing humbly, waiting for Lian Po to greet him.

When Lian Po went out of the mansion and looked at the prince who was always standing humbly outside the door, he was startled. He knew this Prince Wei. He was a rebellious and arrogant dude with all the children of the royal family. When did he become so humble.

"Chen Lian Po has seen the prince!" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia and saluted hurriedly.

"The general doesn't need to be too polite!" Wei Jia hurriedly supported Lian Po to prevent him from saluting.

Lian Po was also stunned, and then he thought about it, could it be because of the matter of Black and White Xuanjian, who did not expect that the matter of Black and White Xuanjian was so difficult that Wei Jia came to ask him for help in person.

"Is the prince here for the assassin's business?" Lian Po asked Wei Jia as he welcomed Wei Jia into the mansion.

Wei Jia shook his head and said, "Bu Gu came here this time for Wei Guo!"

"Wei Guo?" Lian Po was a little surprised, but he still waited for Wei Jia to continue talking.

"Qiang Qin Chen Bing Chaoge, the general needs to be more careful on this trip!" Wei pretended to say.

"Prince, don't worry, as long as the minister stays in Wei for a day, the Qin army will never set foot in Wei!" Lian Po said seriously.

"Bu Gu believes in the general, but besides strengthening Qin, Bu Gu still wants to remind the general to be careful of Qi!" Wei Jia said.

"Qi State!" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia in surprise, unexpectedly, Wei Jia also paid attention to Qi State.

Since he served as the general of the Wei State and the Prime Minister, he has been training the new army, just to guard against the Qin State and the Qi State. Unexpectedly, Wei Guo, who has been stumbling him all the time, has now paid attention to the Qi State.

"Before, I was not young and acted recklessly. Please take care of me, general. From now on, I don't want to take the general as my teacher. I hope the general will not give up!" Wei Jia stood up, knelt down in front of Lian Po, and bowed to him as a teacher. .

"Prince, please get up quickly!" Lian Po hurriedly helped Wei Jia up, but Wei Jia always maintained the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Lian Po was really frightened. Wei Jia, who had always been against him, had taken the wrong medicine or suffered from hysteria, and wanted to worship him as his teacher!

"Is the prince serious?" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia and asked.

"Although Bu Gu is stubborn, what he said will not be half false!" Wei Jia said seriously.

Lian Po was silent for a long time, looking at Wei Jia, he wanted to expand his ambitions in Wei State, and getting the support of the prince's line would make him more comfortable.

"Okay, the old man will accept the prince as his apprentice today!" Lian Po said after sitting on the chair.

"Fake, I have met the teacher!" Wei Jia also came to Lian Po and seriously performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

"The prince mentioned the state of Qi just now, but did you hear anything?" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia and asked.

He came to Wei State not long ago, and the intelligence network is naturally not as good as that of Wei Jia, so maybe Wei Jia really received some information, otherwise why would he suddenly come to apprentice!

"Ten years without war has turned a weak Qin into a strong Qin, and Sheng Qi without a war for 40 years, how can you worry about it?" Wei pretended to copy what he heard from Queen Mother Wei. again.

Lian Po looked at Wei Jia in surprise, this prince was not as unbearable as he imagined, he was obsessed with power struggles, and he was able to see the world situation outside of Wei State.

"Then what does the Crown Prince think of Wei Guo?" Lian Po looked at Wei's fake test and asked.

"Military violence!" Wei pretended to be silent for a moment and said.

Lian Po looked at Wei Jia, saying that militarism is not a good word, especially for a king, militarism has always been linked to the way of subjugation, and historians of militarism are not stingy about criticizing the king.

However, given the current situation of Wei State, the only way to continue to carry out an arms race is to allow Wei State to have a chance of survival in a situation surrounded by rivals in love. Regardless of victory or defeat, Wei State must fight!Blindly defending, Wei Guo can only be eaten away by Qiang Qin step by step.

Lian Po has been trying to start a war since he became the Prime Minister of Wei and take back the city that originally belonged to Wei, but because Wei Wangzeng disagreed and the officials were worried that the Qin army would retaliate, they never agreed to send troops.

Now that the crown prince is actually standing on the same front as him, then his reform is equivalent to having the support of the crown prince's family, and maybe it can really save Wei.

"Isn't the prince afraid of getting a bad name for this?" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia and asked.

Once his decree is implemented, the prince, as a supporter, will inevitably be misunderstood and abused by the world, and historians and Confucians will even attack him.

"For the sake of Great Wei, so what if you bear the infamy?" Wei said seriously.

Lian Po looked at Wei Jia seriously, this Prince Wei might really be the hope of Wei State!

"The crown prince can rest assured to leave the matter to the old minister!" Lian Po said with a serious salute.

"Thank you teacher on behalf of the people of Wei State!" Wei Jia returned the courtesy.

"The prince still needs to be careful about assassins!" Lian Po looked at Wei Jia and said, after all, he was his disciple, so he had to take care of him.

"Taoism and Qin are too powerful!" Wei Jia said with a sigh.

"Prince, don't worry about Qin. In the current battle between the two clans, Qin has sent most of the Luowang and Shadow Secret Guards to the grassland, so the prince should pay attention to Taoism!" Lian Po reminded.

"But Taoists have always ignored the secular world, and students don't know who came from Taoism!" Wei Jia sighed.

"Wuchenzi, the head of the Taoist sect and Xiao Mengzi, the head of the Tianzong, were nowhere to be seen during the Yanmenguan battle, so the old minister thought that the two sons might be on their way to Daliang!" Lian Po thought for a while and reminded.

"For a black and white Xuanjian to come together, the teacher thinks it is possible?" Wei Jia asked with a frown.

The status of the head of the hundred families is not low, even if the princes and kings see the head of the hundred families, they will treat each other with courtesy. For one assassin, it is impossible for the two heads to come in person.

"If it's another family, the elders will come here at worst, but Taoism..." Lian Po was silent, Taoism is a bunch of lunatics, and it's normal to do anything.

"What does the teacher think the students should do?" Wei Jia asked worriedly.

They just wanted to kill Black and White Xuanjian, not confront the Taoists. Once Wu Chenzi and Xiaomeng showed up to save Black and White Xuanjian, would they do it or not?

"Black and white Xuanjian can be killed, but the two masters of Taoism cannot be moved!" Lian Po said seriously.

Chapter 463 The Doubt of Black and White Xuanjian

Wei Chiu nodded, he was capable of killing, a black and white Xuan Jian was enough for him, and with the addition of the two masters, he felt that this lineup was even more terrifying than he thought.

If Lian Po hadn't said that, he wouldn't have known that the two masters of Taoism would also come. After all, who would send out two masters for a Taoist protector?

Besides, you are a protector, instead of protecting your head, the head will protect you. Who is the protector!

"The Taoist school is currently understaffed, so apart from the two masters, they probably don't have many other masters!" Lian Po thought for a while and continued.
