Chapter 14: Court Discussion

The appearance of Gongsun Yang was more like an episode for Wei?

After ordering people to pay attention to Gongsun Wei, who had just arrived in the Wei State, Wei? then focused his energy on the top priority of the Wei State at the moment.

It was another early morning, and a courtier of the Wei Kingdom was sitting in the main hall, silently waiting for the arrival of Wei?, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

Following a loud call from the courtesy officer, Wei?, dressed in red robes, slowly entered the main hall.

After the customary meeting of the emperor and his ministers, today's court meeting slowly kicked off.

His eyes lightly passed over the faces of the courtiers below, and after taking in everyone's expressions, he heard Wei Wei speak loudly about the issues of today's court meeting.

"My lords, I am ready to send troops to attack Han and Zhao, and avenge the two countries' humiliation of Wei."

As soon as Wei Wei finished speaking these words, the entire court immediately fell into a state of silence.

The courtiers present except Sima Gong and Sun Qi were all shocked by Wei Qi's sudden words, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until a voice appeared that the silence in the hall was broken.

"I am reporting to you, Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Doctor, please tell me."

Facing the gazes of the courtiers present who were looking at him, Wang Cuo stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the front of Wei?

"Your Majesty, I would like to say that Your Majesty cannot rashly raise troops because of temporary anger."

"In the previous battle of Zhuoze, our Wei army was defeated by the Han and Zhao coalition forces. This is enough to show that Wei does not have enough strength to face the simultaneous attacks of South Korea and Zhao."

"I would like to ask your Majesty to think twice about sending troops to attack Han and Zhao."

After Wang Cuo finished speaking, almost all the officials below turned their attention to the throne above.

You must know that Wei Wei personally participated in the Battle of Zhuoze that Wang Cuo just mentioned.

Just when all the ministers thought that Wei Xi would be a little unhappy because of Wang Cuo's words, Wei Xi looked at him calmly.

"How does the doctor think our country Wei should handle its relations with Han and Zhao?"

"Reporting this to your Majesty, I think it is appropriate to use diplomatic relations."

Facing Wei Wei's inquiry, Wang Cuo began to straighten his back and began to tell Wei Wei and the surrounding courtiers what he had in mind.

"Your Majesty, everyone, our Wei State, South Korea, and Zhao State both came from the Three Jin Dynasties, which can be said to be quite close. During the time of Marquis Wen, the Three Jin Dynasties assisted each other in attack and defense, and advanced and retreated together. Even if the State of Chu was as powerful as the State of Qi, the State of Chu would not dare to invade.

"

"Although there have been many discords between the three Jins over the years, the friendship is still there. If your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to be an envoy to serve as your Majesty, and to build a good relationship between Han and Zhao for the State of Wei."

"Your Majesty, I think what your superior said is reasonable."

"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."

"Your Majesty, I believe that we should not blindly raise troops."



Wang Cuo's eloquent talk immediately attracted the favor of some courtiers who advocated good relations between the three Jins, but it also aroused the disgust of other generals who had fought against Han and Zhao.

Listening to the voices of support coming and going all around, just when these veterans on the battlefield were about to stand up and express their opposition, one person got ahead of them.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

As a Sima, Gongsun Qi walked out of the seat and slowly stood beside Wang Cuo.

He was seen bowing to Wei? above, and then a shocking word appeared directly in everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty, I think what your superior has just said is really wrong."

After Gongsun Qi finished speaking this sentence, perhaps because he was too frightened, the hall suddenly fell into silence again.

It was not until a long time later that everyone gradually woke up from the shock. At this time, Wang Cuo, the person involved, looked at Gongsun Qi with a face filled with resentment.

"Gongsun Qi, why do you say that to me?"

Facing Wang Cuo's questioning, Gongsun Qi did not panic at all. His face at this moment was full of calmness.

"Your Majesty, I have a few questions that I would like to ask the doctor. I would like your permission."

"allow."

After getting Wei?'s consent, Gongsun Qi turned slightly and looked at Wang Cuo beside him, with the calm look still on his face.

"I dare to ask the doctor, you said you are willing to make good relations with Han and Zhao for Wei. I wonder if South Korea and Zhao are willing to make good friends with Wei?"

Wang Cuo thought Gongsun Qi could ask anything. After hearing such an ordinary sentence, the resentment in his eyes suddenly turned into a bit of contempt.

"The three Jin states have always been helping each other. If our country Wei is willing to give certain benefits to Han and Zhao, of course Han and Zhao will be willing to have good relations with our country Wei."

What Wang Cuo didn't expect was that just as he finished his answer, Gongsun Qi's voice had already appeared in his ears.

"I heard that Zhao State sent troops to Wei State last time to force Wei State to cede territory and seek peace; and South Korea sent troops with the intention of dividing Wei State into two."

When Gongsun Qi said these words, a look of indignation suddenly appeared on the faces of most of the Wei courtiers present.

As ministers of the Wei State, Wei's shame is their shame. How could they sit idly by if Han and Zhao insulted the Wei State so much?

After looking around and taking in the expressions of the surrounding courtiers, Gongsun Qi looked straight at Wang Cuo in front of him.

The next moment, a faint word appeared in Wang Cuo's ear.

"I wonder if the doctor thinks that the Wei State should cede territory to the Zhao State? Or should it be divided into two to form a good relationship with South Korea?"

Faced with Gongsun Qi's inquiry, Wang Cuo didn't know how to respond even though he had thousands of words in his heart.

"you you you……"

Ignoring Wang Cuo who didn't know what to say next to him, Gongsun Qi once again looked at Wei Xi above.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, that I believe there will be a war between Wei, South Korea, and Zhao."

"This war is not only about revenge against South Korea and Zhao, but also about making one thing clear to South Korea, Zhao and even all the countries in the world."

"We, the State of Wei, are a great power in the world, and we cannot be bullied at will."

"Your Majesty, I will finally agree with Sima's words."

"Your Majesty, the last general is calling for battle."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to attack Han and Zhao."



As Gongsun Qi said these words, the atmosphere in the court immediately changed. The voice of war gradually replaced Zhu He and became the mainstream in the court.

Regarding the reaction of the courtiers below, Wei Wei did not immediately express his attitude, but turned his attention to the man who was sitting at the front of the courtiers at this moment.

"I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks our Wei State should do?"

As soon as Wei Wei said these words, the hall fell into silence again, and all the courtiers looked at the sitting figure.

Everyone present wanted to know what choice Gongshu Cuo, a veteran of three generations of Wei Kingdom, would make at this juncture.

Facing Wei Wei's gaze from above and the expectations of the courtiers around him, Gongsun Qi slowly stood up from his seat.

His line of sight connected with Wei? above, and a sense of solemnity appeared on his face.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, that I believe that our country, Wei, can fight and must fight. If there is no such war, everyone in the world will look down upon our country, Wei, and your Majesty."

"My uncle, my uncle, invites you to fight!"
