About half an hour later, Hui Ang and Meng Zhong left the palace.

Before getting on the carriage and returning to the inn, Hui Ang smiled and said to Meng Zhong, "Look, there is no need to worry about anything."

Meng Zhong smiled bitterly, and at the same time he secretly admired the righteous brother in front of him.

Now, with the outstanding eloquence of this righteous brother, King Shin of Wei once again gave him Meng Zhong a fief and named him the King of Yancheng. The key is that Hui Ang also let Qin take the blame for this, making the act of seeking the feud with reasonable grounds. Meng Zhong could only say that this righteous brother deserved to be the prime minister of Song since he was in his twenties. He could do this with ease and was not abrupt at all.

Just now, when they said goodbye, King Wei's attitude towards Hui'an was more enthusiastic than before, just because Hui'an said that Song State was firmly on the side of Wei's side.

"Thank you brother." Meng Zhong sincerely bowed and thanked.

Seeing this, Hui Ang laughed loudly, patted Meng Zhong's arm and said with a smile: "You and my brother, why should you be so polite? What's more, Brother Yu is only a lobbyist at most. There is someone else who really helped you get a title."

He blinked as he said that.

Meng Zhong certainly knew who Hui'an was referring to, and it was nothing more than Song Wangyan, the monarch of the Song State.

Without Song Wangyan's support behind this incident, it would be useless even if Hui Ang said it out loud. After all, what King Wei really cares about is Song Wangyan's attitude.

Seeing that Meng Zhong looked strange, Hui Ang was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to do so. The king didn't expect you to thank him for this. Besides, the king didn't need you to thank him in person. He did this just because he felt that you were the loyal and kindness of my Song State..."

This is not a rude statement. After all, King Yan of Song was arrogant and unwilling to thank him. Unless Meng Zhongxin was willing and sincerely thanked him, if Meng Zhongxin was unwilling and unwilling to love, he would only go to express his gratitude out of courtesy, and would instead be scolded by King Yan of Song.

The idea of ​​a monarch is often difficult to speculate, let alone a monarch like Wang Yan of Song who is between a wise monarch and a tyrant, it is almost difficult to speculate on the idea of ​​such people.

For such monarchs, you can just follow their original intentions. The more honest you are, the more you will be loved by these monarchs. On the contrary, if you blindly flatter, Tang Yang, who was killed by Song Wang Yan, was a good counterexample.

He stepped onto the carriage and took advantage of the way back to the inn, Meng Zhong asked Hui'an: "Brother, what are your plans next? Go to Zhao State, or go back to Song State?"

Hui Ang stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said, "The State of Zhao...Wei will come forward first. After the State of Wei, our State of Song will send an envoy to the State of Zhao."

Meng Zhong nodded suddenly.

In order to counter the threat from Qin and Qi, they were preparing to form the four alliances of Wei, Zhao, Song and Han. The attitude of Zhao was not the same. However, in Wei, Song and Han, Wei must be the well-deserved leader of the alliance, so the matter of winning over Zhao should be brought forward by Wei.

After returning to the inn, Meng Zhong was surprised to see Tian An sitting in the main hall of the inn.

He came forward in surprise and greeted: "Uncle Tian, ​​why are you here?"

At this time, Tian An had noticed Meng Zhong and deliberately blamed him: "Since I have returned to Daliang, why did I settle in the inn?"

Meng Zhong was about to explain, but saw Tian An wave his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you. I'm here to be entrusted by your Uncle Duan Gan to invite you to the banquet at his mansion..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Hui'an and smiled and said, "Hui Xiang, don't be fine."

Hui Ang smiled slightly and bowed and said, "Hui Ang greets Mr. Tian."

At this time, Meng Zhong also understood and smiled and exposed Tian An and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​I'm wondering why you came here in person. It turned out that he was here to invite my righteous brother..."

That's right? Logically speaking, when inviting Meng Zhong to ask for a house to attend a banquet, the Duan Gan family would only let Duan Gan Chong, who was the same generation as Meng Zhong, come forward, instead of Tian An, who was an uncle, take action personally. This has nothing to do with whether he values ​​Meng Zhong or not, it is just a matter of etiquette, so how can the elders welcome the younger generation?

But it would be very different to invite Hui An. After all, Hui An has a noble status and is not close to the Duan Gan family and Tian An as close as Meng Zhong, so Tian An came forward in person.

Meng Zhong exposed the purpose of his visit, and Tian An didn't care and laughed.

Yes, they are both their own people and there is nothing to care about.

When Meng Zhong and Hui'an went to Duan Gan's mansion under Tian An's guidance, King Wen of Wei was still discussing with the prime minister Tian Wen in the palace.

As Hui Ann thought, in the face of the threat of Qin Qihu Emperor, King Wei had already given up his displeasure of being coerced by Song State to enthrone Meng Zhong, and was discussing with Tian Wen about winning over Zhao State.

In this matter, Tian Wen also expressed his positive attitude.

It's no wonder. After all, on Tian Wen's list of hatreds, Meng Zhong, who caused his face to be greatly damaged in Zhao State, could only rank third at most. The first and second places were Qin State and Qi State.

Now all kinds of signs show that the two enemies of Qin and Qi are actually going to unite, how can Tian Wen sit and wait for death?

Thinking of this, Tian Wen said to King Wei: "King, you can immediately send someone to recall the Grand Sima, so that Zhao State can only hate Qin State..."

He refers to the fact that Qin and Wei joined forces to coerce Zhao from dismissing Fengyang Jun Li Dui.

In coercing Zhao to dismiss Fengyang Jun Li Du, the attitude of Wei was consistent with Qin at first. After all, Fengyang Jun Li Du is close to Qi. If he was allowed to continue to sit in the position of Prime Minister of Zhao, this would be a harm to both Qin and Wei. Therefore, taking advantage of the moment when Wei general Zhai Zhang and Qin general Bai Qi were at the city of Handan, both Qin and Wei wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Fengyang Jun Li Du, and each supported a Zhao man who was kind to their two countries as prime minister with his ability.

But to their surprise, although the young King He of Zhao was undermined by Fengyang Jun Li Dui for many years, he was still able to calm down. He did not take this opportunity to dismiss Fengyang Jun Li Dui. Instead, he worked with Li Du to resist the army of Qin and Wei. This was also the plan of Qin and Wei that was stranded.

At the moment, Zhao State is still in a stalemate. Although King He of Zhao said that he would give up helping Qi to attack Song State, he refused to dismiss Fengyang Jun Li Du, which made Zhai Zhang and Bai Qi feel quite troubled. After all, there are some methods that they cannot use on King He of Zhao State. What is the difference between this and completely breaking up with Zhao State?

But the situation has changed now, and Qin may have signs of secret alliance with Qi. If Wei continues to force King He of Zhao to dismiss Fengyang Jun Li Dui, this is equivalent to continuing to offend King He of Zhao and Li Dui. Therefore, Tian Wen suggested that Wei give up this matter and let Qin force Zhao alone in order to transfer Zhao's dissatisfaction to Qin.

I have to say that Tian Wen’s proposal is indeed good.

But after hearing this, King Wei had some concerns: "If Qin also gave up on this matter, Li Dui would continue to serve as Prime Minister Zhao..."

As if he had guessed the concerns in King Wei, Tian Wen chuckled and said, "You must not be suspicious. Although all kinds of signs indicate that Qin may form a secret alliance with Qi, this does not mean that Qin and Qi will join forces in close contact. It is certainly inevitable that each other should be prevented. Doesn't Qin want to win over Zhao to its own side?"

King Wei nodded deeply: "What Tian Xiang said is so true, I will immediately send someone to notify Zhai Zhang..."

Hearing this, Tian Wen thought for a while and said, "It's better to go to Zhao State in person. I have some friendship with Li Dui..."

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became strange, and he wanted to speak but stopped for a few moments.

Seeing this, King of Wei asked in confusion: "What do you think of Tian Xiang? You might as well say something bluntly."

A blue and white look flashed across Tian Wen's face, and then he said in a bad mood: "As far as I know, the Lord of Yancheng and King Zhao have a close friendship..."

"Yanchengjun?"

King Wei did not react at first. After a few breaths, he realized that Tian Wen was referring to Meng Zhong, who had just been crowned as the Lord of Yancheng, and he felt thoughtful.

As the monarch of Wei, he was asked for reward by his ministers in a different way, which is indeed annoying. However, considering that there was a reason for the incident, and considering that Meng Zhong did make great contributions to him, Wei State and his talent was outstanding, King Shin of Wei was not very concerned.

After all, King Wei also understood that when Meng Zhong won the Battle of Yique for him, the significance behind this battle was not only to help Han recover Xincheng and Yiyang, but more importantly, it made Qin again afraid of him, Wei State, and would not dare to interfere in the Hedong County of Wei State in a short period of time.

At the price of a mere Yancheng and a title of Yanchengjun, in exchange for Meng Zhong's loyalty to him, and continued to stay in him, Wei, so that Qin was afraid of this and did not dare to rashly interfere in the Hedong County of Wei. This is a sure thing to make a profit.

Not to mention, Meng Zhong also had a deep friendship with Zhao He, the monarch of Zhao State, and was able to accompany Tian Wen to the Zhao State as one of the envoys to win over Zhao State.

The problem is that Tian Wen and Meng Zhong are not in harmony with each other, which is really a difficult problem.

"I wonder if I can take this opportunity to make the two of them make a good relationship?"

King Wei thought to himself.

However, in his opinion, the possibility of this matter is not high. After all, he is very clear about Tian Wen's personality.

After thinking about it, he said to Tian Wen: "Secret Tian, ​​I know that you and Meng Zhong had some misunderstandings at the beginning, but you also know that Meng Zhong was very young when he was in Zhao State. As young people, they are inevitably impulsive to do things. At present, you and Meng Zhong are both important ministers of my Wei State. If you two can join forces, I think you will not be afraid of Qin Qi..."

"What the king is saying..." Tian Wen forced a smile.

Half a moment later, Tian Wen walked out of the palace in shame and angrily and returned to his mansion.

When the aide Feng Xu saw Tian Wen's appearance, he said strangely: "Mr. Xue, I wonder what happened?"

Seeing this, Tian Wen told Feng Xi all the things that happened in the palace today, and then said in shame and resentment: "Before leaving, the king hopes that I and Meng Zhong will make a good relationship... It's simply outrageous!"

After listening to Tian Wen’s story, Feng Xian blinked and a little surprise appeared on his face.

He had a very deep impression of Meng Zhong. He still remembered the young man who stood up and blatantly contradicted him when he was in Zhao State.

Several years have passed in a flash. The young man who contradicted Mr. Xue has now been named the Lord of Yancheng by the King of Wei.

Ironically, when Tian Wen saw Meng Zhong who had contradicted and offended him in the future, he had to respectfully call him Yanchengjun out of etiquette, and he could no longer call Meng Zhong's name directly from then on.

Perhaps, this is exactly what Tian Wen is most unwilling to accept.

But in terms of this matter, Feng Xi did not want to express any opinions. After all, in his opinion, Meng Zhong had indeed gradually become an irreplaceable general of Wei State. Tian Wen continued to make grudges with him. To be honest, it was very unwise to do so. However, he knew that the Xue Gong in front of him would not obey such opinions.

After thinking about it, Feng Xi said to Tian Wen: "Mr. Xue, I have always been quite puzzled. Are you really resentful of your prejudice against Meng Zhong?"

"What?" Tian Wen frowned and looked at Feng Xi in confusion: "It's not resentment, what do you think it is?"

Feng Xian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Maybe you didn't notice it yourself. Since the Song Wang Yan of Meng Zhong Dynasty offered Xue Yi's reward, when you saw Meng Zhong again, there was no hatred in your eyes... To outsiders, it seemed that they just simply disliked this person..."

Hearing this, Tian Wen was stunned.

After all, the fact is just as Feng Xi said. Since Meng Zhong’s Song Wang Yan presented Xue Yi’s reward letter, when he saw Meng Zhong again, he was not the kind of attitude that he wanted to kill Meng Zhong. At most, he only targeted Meng Zhong and suppressed Meng Zhong.

Shaking his head, he snorted coldly: "That's just me keeping my promise back then! I still want to...why are you talking about this?"

Seeing that Tian Wen became angry for no reason, Feng Xian smiled slightly.

From Tian Wen's reaction, he could see that Tian Wen knew very well the importance of Meng Zhong to Wei State. He couldn't even say the saying "I still want to kill Meng Zhong", which shows that Mr. Xue has become more and more rational in treating Meng Zhong.

Of course, I still don’t like Meng Zhong.

As for the reason...

Feng Xi believes that Tian Wen is biased against Meng Zhong.

After looking at Tian Wen, Feng Xi said slowly, "I didn't expect that a guard next to Zhao's father was about to be on par with Xue Gongping... It's hard to imagine that a civilian could climb to such a position and be so young... The most incredible thing is that Meng Zhong, who was obviously from the Song Dynasty, was accepted by local family forces such as Duan Ganyin and Tian An, and Xue Gong..."

"Enough!"

Tian Wen's face darkened and he scolded Feng Xi unhappily, saying, "You want to say, Tian Wen is actually jealous of Meng Zhong?"

"I didn't say that below."

Although he explained this, Feng Xi's smiling expression did not seem to be denying it.

"you……"

Tian Wen stared at Feng Xi in a frustration, and then said in annoyance: "Okay, please send someone to the inn in the city immediately and ask Meng Zhong to come to see me. The king ordered him to be the deputy envoy and go to Zhao State with me. I have something to explain to him!"

Hearing this, Feng Xi advised: "It's getting late, so why not send someone to invite you tomorrow."
