Chapter 768 Wei Hou wants to go west
The battle between Qin and Wei gathered the attention of the countries around the world. This was a great wave of influence on the times, and no one dared not to pay attention to it.
Under this wave, countries like Chen, Tang and Xiao Xu were already destroyed, and no one wanted to be the next one.
When the envoy of Zheng State was bombarded by the Marquis of Wei, he once again sounded the alarm bell to the Central Plains countries, and even they saw the bad situation in Zheng State.
On the front battlefield, the Wei army was full of triumphs, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated closely, and even Qin had lost two counties, which was a crisis that Qin had never experienced before.
Therefore, under this pressure, the Central Plains countries, eight small princes led by Liang, sent envoys to meet the Marquis of Wei.
From the establishment of King Wu of Zhou to the present, there have been fewer cases of the princes accepting tribute to other princes, let alone such tribute to the eight kingdoms.
It can be said that this is the true manifestation of the national power of Wei. Even the Chu State, which was also victorious in Wu, was rarely so afraid of the princes of the Central Plains.
On the fifth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of Weihou, envoys from all countries gathered in Xinle to worship Weihou.
"Foreign ministers pay homage to the king!" In the main hall, all the envoys from all countries bowed down to worship.
Xinle is the capital of Chen State. Although it has been dilapidated in recent years, the main bodies of the palaces were still there and can be used after a little repair and arrangement.
In fact, Wei Wuji did not need to use the palace to strengthen his power at this time. Just because Wei Wuji's people are here, they can shine on the entire Chen Palace.
Sitting upright on the throne, Wei Wuji's eyes slowly swept across the people below, and the feeling of worshiping thousands of living beings was so fascinating!
At this time, there was no need for Wei Wuji to speak. After the ritual officer standing beside him saluted everyone below, he shouted loudly: "All the Lords are exempted from rituals, and they are calm!"
As a ritual official, Zhou Yan is now also excited. He is following Wei Wuji's old team. He naturally has the honor and honor to achieve such glory and achievements.
Zhou Yan originally worked in Yanshan, but was promoted after finishing his job. As a confidant of the king, he jumped three times directly, and now he has entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When he arrived in Chen, he was just an edict he had received recently. Based on the existing situation, Zhou Yan speculated that the king summoned him more to understand the government affairs of Wu'an.
After all, he is a long-lost political core. As a monarch, he will naturally be worried and let Zhou Yan, a trustworthy person, come and ask about the situation.
After Zhou Yan shouted, the ministers below all stood up carefully, but each one was more lawful than when they were in their own country.
Although it was a court visit, Wei Wuji was not the real sect leader of the world after all, so the whole link was relatively simple.
At the end of this visit, Wei Wuji stood up and announced something that shocked all the nations.
Wei Wuji announced to everyone that he would visit Shangluo in September to meet the Emperor Zhou.
At this moment, the envoys from all countries present speculated about the profound meaning behind Wei Wuji's move.
The Marquis of Wei was different from the Emperor's visit to the Marquis of Wei. Now, with the momentum of victory, he has carried hundreds of thousands of troops to travel west, so how could it be simply for the sake of the Marquis of Wei?
What's more, in the hearts of the princes, the emperor of Shangluo had no strength to allow the Wei marquis to pay tribute, and could only exert influence on small countries like them.
Therefore, just as everyone was thinking, they heard Wei Wuji say: "Mr. Cheng wanted to pay homage to the emperor, but was unable to make a move due to the various countries. The ancestor Zhaohou wanted to pay homage a few years ago, but it was also a difficult situation for the princes..."
Wei Wuji's tone became cold, and then said, "I thought, is it so difficult for me, Da Wei, to be a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, to accept it for the princes... Is it so difficult for the king of Da Wei to pay homage to the emperor?"
Although his face looked frightened, the envoys below only had two words of hehe.
Marquis Wei Chenghou thought of Shangluo at the beginning, but he wanted to lead his troops to attack Shangluo. Of course, he would be blocked by the countries. Marquis Wei Zhao of the past was the same.
Wei Wuji said that the King of Wei was so cold that he could not be colder, and it was a bloody joke.
Every time the Wei Kingdom travels west, it is accompanied by corpses and seas of blood, and they are the ones who are harmed by war.
Just as everyone was thinking about this, they heard Wei Wuji continue, "This time, I want to go west to see you, so I will see who... dares... still stop you!"
This was said loudly, and everyone present could feel it, and Wei Wuji's words were indisputable.
Yes...Who dares to stop him, who has the ability to stop him?
When the four major powers joined forces, they drove Wei back twice, but what about now? Qin retreated, Qi stopped, Chu and Wu fought in internal struggle...
If a big country cannot count on it, can it still be expected that small countries like them come? If their king really had the courage, he would not have acted like a court today.
Since you can't stop it, then do the opposite...
So the first person jumped out immediately and saw the envoy of Liang State saying, "The king and the prince are loyal ministers of the emperor. It is a pity that a stingy person who blocked the court in the past!"
"Now the king and the princes are civil and military, and the princes are intimidating... They should go to Luo to report to the emperor!" The envoys of Liang State bowed.
His words made the people around him look down upon him. He was almost licking the Wei Kingdom and making the matter of being a righteous man and a ruling of the king's capital. Isn't it shameless?
But at this time, fate was obviously more important than face, so even though he was so pleased and despised by Liang State, other envoys began to flatter Wei Wuji.
Therefore, Wei Wuji went to Shangluo to intimidate the emperor, but under the praise of the envoys of various countries, he became extremely sacred!
However, Qin Qi and other countries, which were regarded as their reliance, became loyal and honest ministers who framed loyal people and were trampled on by them.
Seeing this, the generals under Wei Wuji were all excited. They wanted to lead troops to Luo!
The long-cherished wishes of the ancestors of Wei State in their dynasties must be fulfilled in their hands. What a sacred and great mission,
The Wei generals present felt lucky to be able to drive troops to Luoyang with the monarch.
Among them, the two old ministers Qi Yu and Xu Zhao were like this. They were both upset that they could not enter Qin to fight and thought they were useless.
But now that his army can protect the king and rush to Shangluo, this is a more meaningful task than entering Qin, which is to represent the Wei army to declare force to the world!
That's right, in the eyes of the generals, the act of the king leading troops to Shangluo was to boast about his martial arts.
Now that Qin has been crippled, who else in the world can control Wei? Unless the countries join forces again, that is impossible.
Chu and Wu became a life-and-death battle, and there was no possibility of stopping. Qi became a soft-legged shrimp after Tian Yuwen succeeded to the throne...
Among them, the one who is most excited is Zhou Yan!
He was an authentic Zhou native, and a native of Shangluo, a genuine royal family member.
But he was very down and out of Shangluo at the beginning, and was then taken in by Wei Wuji and became someone else's guest.
Although he was in the State of Wei, after gaining power and status, Zhou Yan always wanted to return to Shangluo.
He wanted to have a good look at the people who humiliated him. The down-and-out scholar had become a confidant of the king of the Great Wei Dynasty. They were blind and could not recognize the pearl.
Therefore, Zhou Yan definitely supported Wei Wuji's idea, and he was even very glad that he was summoned to Xinle, otherwise he would not have been able to go to Luo with the monarch.
At this time, Wei Wuji heard him say again: "You are all ministers in the Zhou Dynasty, so stay in Xinle. When I go west, follow my carriage and horses to the Luo River to meet the emperor!"
Everyone came to see you, Marquis of Wei, and expressed their respect for you, and to a large extent, they were independent individuals.
But if Wei Wuji arranges this way, he will become a subordinate of Wei Wuji, and the people of Wei can arrange their itineraries.
To be honest, the envoys from all countries wanted to refute it, but in the end they remained silent...
No one dared to stand up and object, for nothing else, just because the Marquis of Wei holds the sharpest sword in the world, which can kill the princes down from the altar.
Just as the envoys of various countries hesitated, Qi Yu and others also had sharp aura in their eyes, and even put their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists.
It was not until the end that the envoy of Liang State stood up and said, "We are grateful for the invitation from the Lord, and we must be with us!"
In fact, Wei Wuji's words also meant to test the princes, and the answer given by the other party obviously satisfied him very much.
The Wei generals in the hall put away their murderous aura after seeing the envoys of the countries even dared not let go.
Chapter completed!
