Chapter 109: Why do you live by yourself?
Hou Ying looked very happy to drink.
As a custodian, Hou Ying has basically dealt with people who are at the bottom of society for most of his life, such as Hou Ying's good friend Zhu Hai.
It is precisely because of this that Hou Ying had never enjoyed such a dinner at Xinling Jun’s Mansion, which was the top enjoyment of the Warring States Period.
In fact, let alone enjoying it, with Hou Ying's identity before, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to enter such a banquet.
But the Warring States Period was so magical. As long as you were useful to the lords, no matter what your origin was before, no matter how you pretended to be politely in front of the lords, it would not matter.
The key is that you have to be able to help the Lords solve the problem.
Hundreds of years of troubled times have long swept the patriarchal hierarchy system when the Zhou Dynasty was founded into the garbage dump of history. All countries that were still sticking to the Zhou Dynasty have either perished or can only be a trembling lamb like Lu.
In order to be strong, the lords can leave everything behind and let you show off and let you be crazy.
But you have to be useful.
There is no doubt that Wei Wuji has given Hou Ying enough face, let Hou Ying pretend to be enough, show off all the attention, and enjoy the treatment and respect that Hou Ying has never enjoyed.
There is a saying that says, "You treat me with your country's men, and I will repay you with your country's men."
Now is the time for Hou to win the reward.
At this moment, Hou Ying's face was flushed, and her beard and cheeks were still covered with a mysterious liquid that was not sure whether it was wine or soup. The singer had already retreated for a while, but Hou Ying was still shaking her head and holding a dagger and knocking on the table, humming a messy song that she couldn't understand the melody in her mouth, completely looking like she was drunk.
When Zhao Sheng saw Hou Ying's appearance, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, feeling that his brother-in-law Wei Wuji was somewhat unreliable this time.
It’s really not that Zhao Sheng judges people by his appearance. What good ideas can such a sloppy old drunkard have?
However, Wei Wuji obviously did not think like Zhao Sheng. On the contrary, Wei Wuji seemed to be quite confident in Hou Ying.
Hou Ying did look drunk. Wei Wuji had already asked Hou Ying just now, but Hou Ying was still there to be cheers and showed no sign of awakening.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng frowned even more. Hou Ying was probably drunk and confused, right?
Fortunately, when Wei Wuji was about to ask for a second time, Hou Ying's body suddenly shook violently, as if he had woken up instantly, and turned his gaze to Wei Wuji.
"Jiang is the minister just now?"
This is what is called eating people with short mouths. Just now, I sipped a young man. After drinking two glasses of wine, I immediately became a master.
Wei Wuji patiently repeated the words just now and asked Hou Ying to help.
To be honest, given that Hou Ying looks drunk now, Wei Wuji's question was just about to perfunctory Zhao Sheng, and then wait until Hou Ying wakes up tomorrow before asking.
After all, there are three thousand disciples under Wei Wuji, including those who are as arrogant as Hou Ying. Wei Wuji is very experienced in dealing with these guys.
However, what Wei Wuji didn't expect was that Hou Ying really didn't follow the routine.
Almost at the moment when Wei Wuji was about to smooth things over, Hou Ying spoke first.
"What the emperor is worried about is nothing more than Zhao Mie's injury to Wei. I don't know what the old minister said, right?"
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
What Hou Ying said was indeed the concern in Wei Wuji's heart.
As a person with a far longer vision than his elder brother, King Wei, Wei Wuji knew very well the importance of the barriers of Zhao and South Korea to the Wei State.
Since the old capital Anyi and its surrounding land were abandoned, the Wei State no longer bordered the Guanzhong land of Qin State.
It is precisely because of this that although the Wei State has been scattered by Qin State in the past few years, it is not too fatal.
But once Zhao State is defeated and the Qin army occupy Shangdang, the Wei State will once again face the fierce Qin State tiger and wolf army.
This is definitely not a good thing.
Before this, although Qin had never stopped moving eastward, it was just a few cities this year and a few more next year, which was a scattered slowly.
But since the Southern Tianba Chu State and the Eastern Emperor Qi State, which were able to compete with Qin, were fucked one after another, the Qin people's appetite became bigger and bigger, their movements became more and more rampant, and their eating habits became more and more ugly.
The last time he fought against Chu, he conquered thousands of miles of fertile fields in two battles, adding two counties to Qin.
This time, I have to swallow up a whole of Shangdang County’s land in one breath.
Now it seems that the Qin State cannot satisfy the land without a county.
But the Wei State now only has five or six counties. Once it borders Qin State again, its territory will be snatched away by the Qin people in less than ten years.
It’s a pity that no matter how Wei Wuji persuaded him, King Wei still seemed unmoved.
Not everyone will have a long-term vision. In any era, smart people will always be a very small number, and so will smart kings.
Sometimes, being too smart is actually a kind of pain, just like Wei Wuji in the hall in this way.
Even though I had already foreseeed it, I could only watch my motherland slide step by step towards the abyss.
Wei Wuji needs someone to help him get rid of this pain, and he hopes that this person is Hou Ying.
Hou Ying was looking at Wei Wuji at this moment.
It's strange that Hou Ying was still a drunkard style just a moment ago, but in just one minute, Hou Ying's eyes quickly became clear, and even showed a sharp light.
It was as sharp as if it was leaping over the sky, and the goshawk was about to hit it.
Hou Ying said: "I have a word to ask the emperor, but I ask the emperor to forgive me for his crimes first."
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
In this era, scholars have always spoken freely in front of the lord, and they have almost no need to worry about offending the lord.
Hou Ying actually accused Wei Wuji of guilt before speaking, and this behavior was very unusual.
This old boy wouldn't want to say anything amazing, right?
···
Wei Wuji straightened his body slightly and said seriously to Hou Ying: "Sir, it's okay."
Hou Ying smiled when he heard this, looked straight at Wei Wuji, and said word by word: "How dare I ask the king, as a minister of the King of Wei, how should I do it?"
Wei Wuji blurted out without thinking: "As a king and a minister, you should be loyal to the king and the country."
Hou Ying pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely strange smile, and a mouthful of extremely strong alcohol sprayed out of his big yellow teeth: "If you can't live up to the king and the king, how can you deal with it?"
