Chapter 9 Gongsun asks for an audience
"Snapped……"
"Snapped……"
"Snapped……"
One after another, crisp sounds resounded in the palace of Wei State, drifting farther and farther with the gentle breeze.
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, I saw a criss-crossed chessboard placed on top of several tables in the middle of a small pavilion in front of me.
Sitting on both sides of the chessboard, playing chess, were two figures, one large and one small.
The big figure among them is naturally the current Wei Hou Wei?, and the boy about six years old on the other side is the son of Wei State, Wei Shen.
With his right hand, he gently took a white chess piece from the chess basket beside him. Wei? He looked at Wei Shen who was thinking hard in front of him, and then slowly dropped it on the chess board.
"Snapped……"
This crisp sound interrupted the thoughts of the boy opposite, and he slowly raised his head, his cute little face with a bit of sensuality full of sadness.
It was obvious that the situation on the chessboard at this moment was very unfavorable for him.
"Father..."
When this childish voice with a hint of coquettishness came from the other side, how could Wei? How could he still not understand what Wei Shen meant.
It's just that he's not as good as someone else, and he wants to give in to him a little bit, or give him some hints directly.
But Wei? would not give him a direct reminder.
Wei? A smile appeared on his face at this moment, and he tapped his fingers on the chessboard in front of him.
The sound of knocking completely attracted Wei Shen's attention, and then he heard Wei Shen say slowly: "My father has made a decision, and it's Shen'er."
Seeing that Wei Xi did not show any sign of giving in, Wei Shen could only lower his head again with a bit of disappointment.
His bright eyes, which came from his mother Zhao Yi, moved slowly on the chessboard in front of him, trying to find a breakthrough in the already disadvantaged chess game.
Time passed by minute by second, and when his eyes lightly glanced at the corner of the chessboard, an excited look suddenly appeared on Wei Shen's face.
Wei Shen's little hand could not wait to take a black stone from the chessboard, and then quickly placed it on the position he had just chosen.
After doing all this, Wei Shen raised his head and looked at Wei Xi again. This time, there was no distress in his eyes.
On that splendid face, the youth and loveliness unique to a young man are emerging at this moment.
Seeing him like this, the corners of Wei?'s mouth couldn't help but curve a bit, and his right hand reached out to the chessboard next to him again.
Accompanied by crisp sounds, Wei?'s white stones and Wei Shen's black stones gradually filled the entire chessboard.
Relying on Wei Shen's own intelligence and Wei?'s secret humility, the chess game gradually changed in Wei Shen's favor.
Finally, when the last piece quickly landed on the chessboard, Wei Shen stood up from his seat excitedly.
"Oh oh oh..."
A burst of cheers appeared in the small pavilion, and then Wei Shen looked straight at Wei?, with an indescribable expectation in his eyes.
"Father, Shen'er won. You just said you won, and you promised Shen'er something. Father..."
"Alas, who makes the father's skills inferior to others?" Looking at Wei Shen's expectant appearance opposite him, Wei? first pretended to lament, and then said in a deep voice: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with. Say it, Shen'er wants to
What do you want?"
Hearing that Wei? had kept his promise, the expectation on Wei Shen's face immediately turned into joy, but soon the joy turned into a sad look.
Born in a noble family, Wei Shen has been richly clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and there will naturally be no shortage of all kinds of playthings.
Now that he had won a condition from Wei?, for a moment, Wei Shen didn't know what to ask for.
After some hard thinking, Wei Shen seemed to have thought of it, and a smile appeared on his face again.
He slowly raised his head, with a hint of expectation in his bright eyes, "Shen'er would like my father to accompany Shen'er to play outside the palace for a day, is that okay?"
Hearing Wei Shen's request and seeing the look of expectation on his face, Wei Shen fell into some thoughts.
Since he was first in charge of the Wei Dynasty, he needed to understand the opinions of the people in Anyi City. He should also go out of the palace to listen and read more.
In this case, it would not be dangerous to find an opportunity to take Wei Shen with him, and bring some guards to secretly strengthen the security.
Thinking of this, under Wei Shen's longing eyes, Wei? nodded slightly.
"Yes, but you must first get your mother's consent."
"yeah!"
"My father has agreed, and my mother will definitely agree." After cheering loudly with joy, Wei Shen couldn't wait to salute Wei? "Father, Shen'er will go see mother now, and my father will wait for Shen'er's good.
News."
As soon as he said this, Wei Shen had already rushed out of the small pavilion. As for the palace people who had been following him, they followed him in a hurry.
Looking at the figure that was rapidly shrinking, Wei? A look of worry appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly: "Run slowly, be careful not to fall."
"knew."
When Wei Shen's almost inaudible response appeared in his ears, Wei Shen could only sigh softly with a bit of helplessness.
"This child..."
But then recalling the scene just now, the helplessness on Wei?'s face turned into a smile again.
Just when Wei? was immersed in the beauty just now, a palace official slowly came outside the small pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gongsun would like to see you."
After hearing the palace servant's report, the smile on Wei?'s face suddenly disappeared, and a faint oppression belonging to the superior appeared around him.
The Mr. Gongsun mentioned by the palace is none other than Gongsun Qi, the former teacher of Gong Zhongsu.
After gaining Gongsun Qi's allegiance, Wei? assigned him a task that was most suitable for him.
This task is to rely on his prestige among Wei Huan's forces to bring as many people as possible back under his command.
After all, these people are also talents of the Wei State. Now that Gong Zhongxu has died, Wei will not let them wander outside in vain.
Today, Gongsun Qi took the initiative to ask for an audience. He must have gained a lot these days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of this, Wei Wei immediately raised his head and said to the palace man in a deep voice: "Please come in, Mr. Gongsun."
"Here"
A moment later, Gongsun Qi was seen quickly arriving in front of Wei Wei, following the footsteps of this palace servant.
"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Mr. Gongsun, please get up quickly."
After some polite greetings between the monarch and his ministers, Wei Wei asked Gongsun Qi in front of him softly: "How is the situation?"
"Gongsun Qi has lived up to your Majesty's trust."
Next, Gongsun Qi, who was invited by Wei Hui to sit down, began to introduce the situation of containing Wei Huan's forces these days. It can be said that Gongsun Qi completed his task very well this time.
After listening to Gongsun Qi's introduction, Wei Wei said with some emotion: "Our country of Wei can settle down so quickly. Mr. Gongsun has done a lot of hard work."
"I want to give my husband the post of Sima, but I wonder what he wants?"
"I would like to thank you for your trust."
After another conversation between the monarch and his ministers, Wei? suddenly changed the topic and directed the topic to the matter they mentioned when they met again that day.
"I want to restore King Wen's rule. I wonder if you have a good plan?"
Regarding the goal proposed by Wei?, Gongsun Qi and others, in addition to accepting Gong Zhongxuan's old troops, also thought about it from time to time.
Now that Wei Wei is formally asking for advice, Gongsun Qi will soon explain what he is thinking.
"With the power of our country, Wei, if we want to restore King Wen, King Wu's great cause will naturally be extremely difficult. Therefore, I believe that if we, Wei, want to achieve great things, we must join forces with other countries."
When Gongsun Qi's words appeared in his ears, a bright light flashed in Wei?'s eyes.
"The other countries you mentioned are South Korea and Zhao."
"Exactly."
Regarding Wei?'s words, Gongsun Qi directly expressed his affirmation.
"In the time of Marquis Wen, the reason why our Wei State was able to win many times was because of the combined efforts of the three Jins; in the time of Marquis Wu, the reason why our state of Wei declined was because of the disharmony among the three Jins."
"If your Majesty wants to restore the great cause of King Wen and King Wu, you must first integrate the three Jin Dynasties."
