Chapter 116 Hou Ying offers a plan

Hou Ying sat down and looked very relaxed.

The old man with white hair and beard, sloppy clothes and alcohol all over, actually felt a bit wise at this moment.

Hou Ying spoke to Xinlingjun and said, "I have heard that the emperor and Na Ru Ji have great kindness. How dare you ask if you have any of this?"

Wei Wuji nodded and said, "This is indeed the case."

Who is Ruji? Ruji is the number one favorite concubine of King Wei, and the only woman in the palace city of Wei who can compete for favor with Longyang Lord Gao Ji.

The story between Ruji and Wei Wuji is actually a rather old-fashioned story.

Ruji's father was a minister of Wei who originally belonged to the Tian Wen faction of Mengchangjun. After Tian Wen lost power, he was assassinated by political enemies.

Ruji's family once offered high rewards for revenge, but they gained nothing for several years.

In order to avenge his father, Ru Ji, who was still a girl, took her younger brother to kneel at the door of Xinling Jun’s mansion for a whole day. Finally, she waited for Wei Wuji who had returned from home.

After listening to the story of the girl, Wei Wuji used the powerful intelligence network of Xinling Junfu to find out the truth, and captured all the assassins and the envoy behind the scenes, and brought the heads of these enemies to Ruji, so that Ruji could pay tribute to his deceased father.

Since then, Ruji's family has become a die-hard ally of Xinlingjun in the court.

A few years later, with the help of Wei Wuji, Ru Ji successfully entered the palace, and lived up to expectations and successfully won favor with King Wei with his beauty and charm. He changed the situation where King Wei only favored Longyang Jun Gao Ji but abandoned many beauties in the harem of Wei State and ignored it.

It is also with Ru Ji's pillow style as a helper that although Wei Wuji has faced a worse and worse situation over the years, he has never been so bad that he is irreversible.

Wei Wuji looked at Hou Ying with some surprise, wondering why Hou Ying mentioned Ru Jilai.

Hou Ying continued, "I have heard that the military talisman is always in the king's bedroom. Ru Ji is favored by the king and often goes in and out of his lieutenant. I think he can steal the talisman. The emperor can ask Ru Ji to steal the military talisman. Later, the emperor can hold the talisman to Yecheng and ask Jin Bi to save Zhao and resist Qin, and great things can be accomplished."

"Stolen soldiers?" Wei Wuji was shocked when he heard this.

Military talisman, also known as tiger talisman, is definitely a very important token in this era.

Generally speaking, the military talisman is usually in the hands of the king, and is divided into two halves when sending troops. The king keeps half of it and gives the other half to the general who commands the army.

This half of the military talisman is equivalent to the so-called Shangfang sword in later generations, and is a proof of the power of the general who commanded the army.

When the army goes to war, if the king who is in charge of the capital wants to issue orders to the generals of commanding the army or even change candidates, he needs to send an envoy to hold the orders and the half of the military talisman in the hands of the king as proof.

For example, the Changping Qin State changed its commander not long ago, Bai Qi held the right half of the military talisman given by King Ji of Qin to replace Wang Yu, who originally had the left half of the military talisman.

As long as he possesses the military talisman, Wei Wuji can mobilize Jin Bi's 100,000 troops in front of the envoy of the King of Wei to send troops to aid Zhao!

This does sound like a good idea, and although it is a bit risky, it does not seem to be without the possibility of success.

More importantly, besides Hou Ying's method, Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng could not think of any other better method for a while.

So Zhao Sheng agreed almost immediately.

However, Wei Wuji seemed a little hesitant, and after a moment, he said: "If Ru Ji steals the talisman, then the king will observe it. How can Ru Ji live? In this way, wouldn't I harm Ru Ji's life?"

Hou Ying seemed to have been surprised by this and immediately said: "I heard that Ru Ji once said that he wanted to die for the king and repay the king's kindness. Now the king asked Ru Ji to steal the talisman. Isn't this the grudge of repaying the grace of Ru Ji for his death? Isn't it that Ru Ji's grudge for repaying the grace of his grace by his death? Please do not hesitate to avoid missing the opportunity."

Zhao Sheng, who was standing aside, also joined the camp of helping to persuade, but no matter how the two persuaded him, Wei Wuji seemed quite hesitant, obviously very unbearable about letting Ruji sacrifice.

After a moment, Hou Ying's face turned up, and a shocking spirit suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the war between Changping is now at the critical moment, which is the survival of Zhao and Wei. How can you make millions of people in both countries fall into a state of death but no life for the sake of Ru Ji and a woman? If Wei dies, how can you face the previous kings underground?"

This sentence finally moved Wei Wuji.

A moment later, a man who looked about fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance, a cold expression, and his temples began to turn white, walked into the study and bowed to Wei Wuji: "I have met you, the minister."

Tang Qi, the number one confidant under Wei Wuji, was in charge of the entire Xinling Jun Mansion's intelligence network.

The reason why Wei Wuji was able to learn that the King of Wei would send an envoy to order Jin Bi to attack Zhao tomorrow was because Tang, who disguised as Wei Wuji's coachman, secretly connected with Ru Ji's people when Wei Wuji met King of Wei, and then got information from Ru Ji.

Wei Wuji looked at Tang Qi with bright eyes and said, "Tang Qi, I have something urgent to tell Ru Ji, you may enter the palace and meet Ru Ji?"

When Zhao Sheng, the Pingyuan Jun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this.

It is not easy to enter the palace late at night and sneak into the palace.

However, what surprised Zhao Sheng was that Tang Qi responded without any hesitation: "It's easy, I wonder what you want to tell Ru Ji about this?"

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I want to ask Ru Ji to steal the King's military talisman and save Zhao."

Tang Qi was obviously surprised after hearing this, but soon recovered from calmness and said, "Since that's the case, I will leave."

Just as Tang Qi was about to turn around and leave, Wei Wuji suddenly called him.

"Tang Ji, after obtaining the talisman, can you take Ruji out of the palace?"

Tang Qi stopped and after a moment, he said, "I will do my best."

Tang Qi left the study room, and Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng and Hou Ying were left in the study room again.

Wei Wuji did not continue to speak, but was thinking about something.

Zhao Sheng looked at Hou Ying opposite him and saw a look of disapproval in Hou Ying's eyes.

Obviously, Hou Ying had some opinions about Wei Wuji's life at this moment.

In fact, it is not only Hou Ying, but even Zhao Sheng himself thinks so.

In this era when people are as cheap as dogs, what is the life of a woman?

In order to maintain his reputation, Zhao Sheng also killed his beloved concubine directly?

But no matter what, Wei Wuji was the one who made the final decision, so Zhao Sheng did not say anything, but sat quietly in the study and waited.

Waiting is always the most boring thing in the world.

This wait took two hours.

It was not until the sound of roosters crowing outside the window that a burst of footsteps finally approached rapidly from the corridor outside.

Just as the footsteps came, Zhao Sheng, who was already a little drowsy, was shocked, straightened his body suddenly and opened his eyes at the same time.

The door of the study room was opened, and Tang Qi came first, and a gust of fragrant wind followed.

Zhao Sheng looked closely and found that behind Tang Qi was a woman dressed in a palace maid. The woman had a slim figure, fair skin, pretty face, like melon seeds, eyes like crescent moons. Although she was wearing only an ordinary palace maid's clothes, she had a dignified charm.

"It seems that this woman is Ru Ji. This woman is so beautiful, no wonder Xinling Jun can't give up." Zhao Sheng thought secretly and many gossip thoughts came out of his mind.

Tang Qi walked to Wei Wuji, took something out of his arms, bowed his hands and handed it over.
