Chapter 279: Getting in the way
In Anyi City, in Bai's Restaurant, a disciple of Gaoliang was freely expressing his dissatisfaction.
In his words, the current reform of the military merit system in Wei State is undoubtedly full of mistakes.
Since Wei Wenhou established the Ding Kingdom for more than 40 years, Wei can almost be said to be the most dazzling country in the world.
How the Wei State was able to subjugate the princes of the world and even establish its position as the overlord? This figure who was talking eloquently attributed it directly to its military strength.
Taking this premise as an opportunity, this young man began to count in detail Wei Jun's outstanding performance in the past decades.
There was the Battle of Hexi against Qin, there was victory over the Great Wall in Qi, there was a great victory over Huishui against Han and Zhao, and even the Chu State in the south was defeated at the foot of Daliang City.
It can be said that in the early years of the Warring States period when various countries were in conflict, the Wei State established its hegemony with its glorious achievements against all surrounding countries.
The invincible Wei army and the most elite Wei soldiers were the greatest contributors to the victory in this series of wars.
Although a good man is not as brave as he once was, the glorious history will always make people feel excited.
For example, at this moment, when the sound fell in the wine shop, there was a huge burst of cheers.
Looking at the scene taking place in front of him, the eyes of this young disciple were filled with the excitement of achieving his goal.
Then he began to strike while the iron was hot, linking the glorious achievements of the Wei army in the past with the reform of the military merit system that Wei was currently implementing.
According to what he said, the soldiers had made great military achievements for the Wei State and deserved to enjoy preferential treatment from the entire Wei State.
But now there are some people in the Wei court who cannot stand the treatment these soldiers and their families enjoy, and want to reform the military merit system.
"Everyone, Wei's military is of vital importance to the stability of the country and the prosperity of the country."
"But someone wants to mess it up. Isn't this harming our country, Wei?"
At this moment, among the people sitting in Bai's Restaurant, there were many who were from noble families and whose families had served in Wei Wu's army.
Originally, these people were quite dissatisfied with the military merit system being implemented by the Wei State. Now that they heard the voice of opposition ringing in their ears, their faces were filled with excitement for a moment.
"What you said is absolutely true."
"The stability of the Wei army is crucial."
"I think those who promote the military merit system clearly have bad intentions."
…
As one after another voices resounded in the restaurant, the wind here gradually blew towards the side that was not conducive to the military merit system.
That is to say, while the voices of opposition continued to be heard, in a quiet corner on the second floor of the restaurant, two pairs of eyes were watching all this with cold eyes.
"Sir, I really didn't expect that this reform of the military merit system would cause such a big controversy."
Slowly retracting his gaze, Wei Feng looked at Wei Xianggong Sun Qi, who was sitting opposite him, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.
Even though the various laws implemented by Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling really touched the interests of some people, it is unusual for the situation to be so one-sided.
In Wei Feng's opinion, some of them are spontaneous, but of course there are also some people who are behind it.
As for what is the purpose of these people doing this? That is nothing more than...
Gongsun Qi heard something unusual in Wei Feng's words opposite him, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
Subconsciously lowering his voice, he heard Gongsun Qi say, "Your Majesty, there has been a lot of discussion in Anyi City, I am..."
Knowing what he was going to say next, Wei Feng immediately stretched out his right hand to stop him, "Mr., you are busy with many things. In the past few days, you have been busy with Yiqu matters. It is reasonable that you did not pay too much attention to this matter."
"only……"
The next moment, there was a hint of deepness in Wei Feng's voice, and a bit of worry appeared in his eyes.
"I just don't know whether Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling can withstand the coming storm."
"Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling are two of the most talented people in the world, and they will be greatly assisted by your Majesty. I believe that this reform will be carried out smoothly."
After listening to Gongsun Qi's words opposite him, Wei Feng suddenly remembered the great changes that took place in the Qin State in his previous life.
After drinking a good amount of wine, the look in Wei Feng's eyes began to become sharp.
At the same time, a firm word that seemed to be addressed to Gongsun Qi but also to himself rang in Wei Feng's ears.
"sure."
While Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi were talking to each other on the second floor of the restaurant, the atmosphere of opposition from the people below became increasingly intense.
"Everyone, Situ Gongsun Yang is the leader of this trouble. Why don't we go to Situ's residence?"
I don't know who made the suggestion later, saying that they wanted to go to Situ's mansion and ask for an explanation from Situ Gongsun Yang, the main executor of this change.
When this proposal was just made, everyone fell into a brief silence, and then the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.
"exactly."
"Let's go, let's go, I'll leave soon."
"Gongsun Yang is the chief culprit who caused the turmoil in our country of Wei."
…
As time went by, this proposal was gradually accepted by some people.
Riding on the feeling of drunkenness that had just arisen, these people began to walk toward the door in a group of friends.
Looking coldly at the scene that just happened, and looking at the figures disappearing into Bai's Restaurant, Wei Feng's lips formed a different kind of smile.
If everyone's criticism just now might be just a way for some people to express their dissatisfaction, then the behavior of these people going to Situ's residence at this moment undoubtedly made the incident more serious.
Wei Feng knew very well that someone was muddying the water in order to successfully achieve some ulterior purpose.
"Sir, would you like to come with me for a visit?"
Having also clearly seen the whole story of this farce, Gongsun Qi had already reached the same conclusion as Wei Feng.
Now that he heard the invitation from the other side, Gongsun Qi immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, please!"
"please!"
…
Following the footsteps of those people, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the door of the mansion with the three seal characters of "Situ Mansion" written on it.
At this moment, the place was completely blocked by people with different names, appearances, and costumes.
Seeing the appearance of these uninvited guests, the Wei army officers and soldiers who were stationed here suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Footsteps sounded inside and outside the door, and the clash of armors sounded in everyone's ears. In no time, the front of these people was heavily guarded.
"The Situ Mansion is an important place, leave quickly."
