Chapter 284 Everyone makes their own moves
What Gongsun Qi just said not only represented himself, but also reflected the will of Wei Feng, the monarch of Wei.
The system of military merit and nobility is already inevitable in Wei State, and almost no one can stop its progress.
Even though Pang Juan was a general, even though he had a very high prestige in the Wei army.
A few complicated emotions emerged in his eyes, and Pang Juan slowly lowered his head, no longer making any eye contact with Gongsun Qi.
A long silence gradually filled the Chinese army tent, and in this silence, Gongsun Qi returned to his seat.
He did not continue what he had just said, but waited patiently for Pang Juan to make his choice.
At this moment, Pang Juan's heart can be said to be full of entanglements, with various thoughts intertwined together like a mess.
Time passed by like this, and after an unknown amount of time passed, Pang Juan's hands began to move.
Pang Juan took off the sharp sword hanging from his waist, held it in his hand and stared at it for a moment, then placed it on the cases in front of him.
After finishing all this, Pang Juan raised his head and let his eyes meet Gongsun Qi who was standing above him.
"I wonder what your Majesty and the Prime Minister are going to do with me, Pang Juan?"
The sword is not only a personal possession, but also often represents power.
Gongsun Qi knew very well that the reason why Pang Juan put his sword in front of him was to express his attitude.
Pang Juan was willing to accept his treatment calmly, even if the result was the loss of his own life.
A soldier dies for his confidant. This is the greatest loyalty Pang Juan can give to the monarch Wei Feng.
However, from beginning to end, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi never thought of taking Pang Juan's life.
After looking at the sharp sword lying quietly on the tables for a long time, a smile appeared on Gongsun Qi's face.
"My general, you are worrying too much."
Once again, Gongsun Qi stood up from his seat. Compared to last time, Gongsun Qi was a little less solemn and majestic.
Slowly walking in front of the opponent, Gongsun Qi slowly bent down, and with a movement of his right hand, the sharp blade came into his hand.
Holding the handle with one hand, holding the sheath with the other, and applying gentle pressure with both hands, a chilling light appeared in front of Gongsun Qi's eyes.
At this moment, the curve of the corner of Gongsun Qi's mouth became more and more upward, "What a sharp sword."
After this compliment, Gongsun Qi looked away from the sharp knife in his hand and looked at Pang Juan in front of him with some deep meaning.
Putting the sharp blade back into its sheath, Gongsun Qi bent down again, and in the blink of an eye the sharp sword returned to its original place.
"General Pang Juan obeys the order."
A powerful command sounded in the tent, and Pang Juan was pulled up from his seat.
"The last general Pang Juan is here."
The smile on his face had completely disappeared, and Gongsun Qi looked at Pang Juan with only solemnity in his eyes.
"The Marquis of Wei has been ordered to transfer General Pang Juan to Xihe and be fully responsible for all military affairs of the Qin State."
When Gongsun Qi's voice fell completely, the content of this order made him suddenly stunned.
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Wei Feng's order was actually to protect him and pull him out of the huge political whirlpool in Anyi.
In addition, Pang Juan, who is a senior military official in the Wei State, also knows very well that there will inevitably be a decisive battle between Wei and Qin in the future that will determine the fate of the two countries.
Wei Feng ordered him to go to Xihe, undoubtedly wanting him to play a greater role in the future war.
Just when he had figured this out and was about to bow to answer, a doubt appeared in his mind.
"Prime Minister, I would like to ask you this boldly. I wonder who will lead the soldiers of Wei after I leave?"
Facing Pang Juan's question, a smile appeared on Gongsun Qi's face again, and he spoke a name that Pang Juan was extremely familiar with.
"Sima Sunboling."
…
"Uncle Zong, today..."
In Uncle Zong's mansion in Anyi City, a group of middle-aged people in robes were sitting behind several cases.
If you lightly scan the people present here with your eyes, you will find that their faces at this moment, without exception, have a look of worry.
These people are none other than the elders of the disciples who gathered in front of the Situ Mansion during the day.
When they heard that their own children were bold enough to join others in besieging the official's residence, and that this official was still the most popular Situ Gongsun Yang in the Wei Dynasty, as elders, they were naturally extremely angry.
But it was one thing to be angry because of their children's reckless actions, but they could not just sit back and watch their children stay in the prison of Sikou Mansion.
Therefore, shortly after receiving the news, these people who also had certain status in the Wei court made two completely different choices.
Those who were interested in making good friends with Gongsun Yang naturally chose to visit Situ's residence and express their apologies to Gongsun Yang for their children;
As for others who had different political opinions from Gongsun Yang, they chose to go directly to Sikou's house, hoping to achieve their own goals by relying on the power behind their families.
Different choices often produce different results. The former successfully obtained Gongsun Yang's goodwill and commitment, but the result of the latter was not as wonderful.
Faced with such completely different results, divisions naturally occurred, and as for the last remaining people, they would never bow to Gongsun Yang easily.
Seeing that he and others had no results in the Sikou Mansion, a name gradually became louder and louder in the ears of these people as they communicated with each other.
If there is anyone in the court who has always been at odds with Gongsun Yang and who holds a pivotal position, then the first person to be mentioned is Wei Zhi, the uncle of Wei State.
As the uncle of the current Wei Marquis, Wei Zhi naturally has a very high status; and the Wei family's origin determined his position from the beginning.
Now that there is a candidate, time waits for no one, so this scene occurred in the study room of Zongbo Mansion.
After fully describing what happened today, the leader of the crowd stood up directly.
"Uncle Zong, what happened today was that my family and I and my sons surrounded the residence of the important minister. This was certainly a mistake."
"But if mistakes are put aside, they are doing this out of a moment of righteous indignation because the laws implemented by Gongsun Yang these days are too excessive..."
"alright!"
Before these people could finish their words, a powerful voice from the chair above interrupted what they were about to say.
Uncle Zong Wei Zhi glanced at the people in front of him with his stern eyes like poisonous snakes, and the atmosphere in the room gradually cooled down as everyone's hearts palpitated.
It wasn't until he withdrew his faint gaze that Zongbo Wei Zhi said slowly: "I already fully understand what you mean."
"The decrees issued by Gongsun Yang these days and the military merit system that they intend to implement are really harmful to us and not beneficial at all."
"It's just that Gongsun Yang is in the limelight now, and your Majesty has great trust in him. If you want to get past him, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"unless……"
