Chapter 16 The Marquis of Wei comes to visit
After returning to the mansion, Wang Cuo, who had been angry all the way, was still worried about what happened in the court today.
Those who have far-sighted talents would at most be unhappy with Gongsun Qi's actions, but Wang Cuo was not a very broad-minded person.
Whenever he thought of what Gongsun Qi said, Wang Cuo felt as if his chest was being pressed by a huge boulder, and a wave of anger made him feel uncomfortable all over.
In order to relieve the anger in his heart, Wang Cuo ordered the waiter to serve a banquet of fine wine and delicious food shortly after returning to the mansion.
He planned to use wine to relieve the anger in his heart that could not be dissipated no matter what.
It's just that wine can sometimes make people forget their worries temporarily, but sometimes it can also bring out the truest thoughts in people's hearts.
One count, two counts, three counts...
As the wine was drunk, the anger in Wang Cuo's chest not only did not dissipate, but instead accumulated more and more.
A long time passed, and when the drunkenness gradually took over Wang Cuo's mind, he began to express his unhappiness over the wine.
"Gongsun Qi, you are a traitor who has betrayed your master. If it hadn't been for your Majesty's appreciation, you would have been a dead soul by the sword. How could you be listed in this court with my Wang Cuo?"
"A few months ago, because of your words, my attempt to persuade South Korea to withdraw its troops failed. I, Wang, have not settled my previous hatred with you clearly, and I don't want you to humiliate me again today."
"Above the court, why didn't you speak first when your Majesty finished speaking? Instead, you waited until I finished speaking before you stood up. I think you are harboring evil intentions and targeting me specifically."
After using the power of wine to scold Gongsun Qi, Wang Cuo, whose anger had reached its peak, directly threw the wine jue in his hand to the ground in front of him.
Accompanied by the sound of metal falling to the ground, Wang Cuo's index finger pointed straight upward. His expression at this moment was full of ferocious color.
"Gongsun Qi, we are at odds with each other."
Wang Cuo's voice resounded throughout the room, and at this moment, footsteps appeared outside his door.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here to visit."
Originally, Wang Cuo wanted to scold the waiter for disturbing him, but when he heard clearly the content of the other party's report, the words he was about to say were immediately swallowed back.
Because of this news, Wang Cuo was completely sober from his drunkenness in an instant, and at the same time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Where are the people?"
"The villain has already led your Majesty to the main hall to sit down."
After hearing the news reported by the chamberlain, I immediately felt a little calmer, and the look of surprise on my face also dissipated a lot.
After briefly tidying up his somewhat messy clothes, Wang Cuo ordered people to clean up the mess on the floor and walked quickly towards the main hall.
A moment later, when Wang Cuo hurried to the main hall of the mansion, a red figure appeared in front of him.
"My lord, I made the mistake of being a step too late. Please forgive me."
Listening to the sound ringing in his ears, Wei? saw a figure prostrating himself in front of him.
As he gently leaned over to help Wang Cuo in front of him, he heard Wei? He said with a bit of kindness: "Why do you have to be like this, sir?"
"I came here in a hurry. It's normal for me to be late when I go to the doctor's house to do something. Get up quickly, get up quickly."
He gently helped Wang Cuo up and felt the faint aroma of wine in front of his nose, but Wei? had some enlightenment in his heart.
After being invited to sit down by Wang Cuo, Wei Wei asked with a smile: "Is there any happy event in the doctor's mansion?"
Wang Cuo didn't react to Wei?'s sudden words at first, until he smelled the faint aroma of wine on his body.
After understanding why Wei Wei asked what he just said, and then thinking of his own behavior of drinking to drown his sorrows at home, Wang Cuo didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After going through some weighing in his mind, especially thinking about Wei Xi's previous trust in him, Wang Cuo finally gritted his teeth and expressed his resentment to Wei Xi.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I drank today with the intention of drowning my sorrows. Your Majesty, the anger in my heart is really difficult to resolve."
As soon as he said this, Wang Cuo began to express his bitterness to Wei Wei who was above him.
"Your loyalty to Wei and your Majesty should be clear to your heart."
"My previous mission to South Korea failed, which led South Korea to send troops to attack our country Wei. Your Majesty not only did not care about my fault, but also promoted me from a middle doctor to a senior doctor. I will always remember this matter in my heart and dare not forget it.
"
"The reason why I object to your Majesty's sending troops today is because of the consideration of our country, Wei. I have no selfish desires at all. I would like to ask Your Majesty for your clear understanding."
After saying these words in one breath, Wang Cuo looked straight at Wei? in front of him. His posture was clearly asking Wei? to give him an evaluation.
Facing Wang Cuo's gaze, Wei? nodded slowly, his tone involuntarily becoming a bit serious.
"The doctor's loyalty to the State of Wei and to me is well known in my heart. I can also understand that what the doctor said in the court today is indeed thinking about me."
"only……"
At first, Wang Cuo was very happy when he heard Wei Wei's affirmation of him; but when he heard that Wei Wei suddenly changed the subject, his face showed a bit of strange color.
"Your Majesty, my Lord..."
Just when Wang Cuo was about to say something, Wei Xiu stretched out his right hand and interrupted what he was about to say.
Next, I heard Wei Wei say to Wang Cuo in a deep voice: "It's just this battle that both Wei and I must fight."
"The State of Wei is one of the most powerful countries in the world. All the princes in the world are looking at our State of Wei, and its dignity must not be trampled upon easily. The former Han and Zhao coalition forces took advantage of the civil strife in Wei to raise troops to invade our State of Wei. This is the state of our State of Wei.
hatred."
"In the battle of Zhuoze, we were in the military formation. The Han and Zhao coalition forces took advantage of our weak strength and trapped us in the military camp. This is our lifelong shame."
"Whether it is a national feud or a personal shame, I must ask Han and Zhao to get it back. I want Han and Zhao to see the military might of Wei."
After finishing these words, Wei? looked at Wang Cuo beside him again.
After a few breaths, Wang Cuo met Wei Wei's gaze, stood up from a few cases later, and walked slowly to Wei Wei.
"The king humiliates and the minister dies. The king's shame is the minister's shame. I did not consider the shame that Han and Zhao brought to the king. This is my fault. Please forgive me."
"What did the doctor say?"
When he finished speaking, Wei Wei also stood up from his seat and walked quickly to Wang Cuo who was bowing in front of him.
Gently helping Wang Cuo stand up in front of him, a smile appeared on Wei?'s face.
"I know that the doctor is also thinking about our country, Wei. It's only my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to the doctor."
"As for what Sima said in the court, there must be no malicious intent. Please don't take it to heart, sir."
"I would like to go to South Korea as my envoy to submit a letter of war on my behalf. I wonder what your wishes are?"
Wang Cuo was overjoyed when he heard Wei?'s last words. Isn't this a good opportunity for him to restore his image in Wei?'s heart?
Without much hesitation, Wang Cuo said solemnly: "I would like to obey your Majesty's orders."
