Chapter 457: Big trees and many hozens
The night seems very long, yet also seems very short.
??The darkness in the hall slowly faded away, like layers of black veils being continuously pulled away, and light slowly penetrated. The heavy and ink-like night will eventually pass, and a new day has arrived.
??The sun drew a slightly brighter line in the east. Although the sun did not rise completely, the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.
Wei Jian, who was in the hall, slowly appeared in the darkness.
After a sleepless night, Wei Zhan''s eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was exhausted. Even his white clothes seemed to be stained with layers of oil, and he no longer had any sense of elegance.
??A personal attendant was standing outside the hall, sipping Nuo Nuo, with his hands hanging down. He looked at Wei Ju with a look of worry on his face, but he hesitated to speak.
Wei Qian closed his eyes and suddenly felt extremely dry under his eyelids, as if there were more than a dozen pieces of wind sand of different sizes mixed in. He couldn''t help but let out a long sigh and said: "Take... the tools for washing... Come."
After Wei Jian spoke, he realized that his throat was also dry and about to burst into flames, so he added: "Get some more water..."
Sitting all night long, all the bones in Wei Jian''s body were almost stiff. When the attendants prepared all the facial utensils for washing, he was unable to move, so he had to signal the attendants to do it for him.
The Wei clan, or the relatively large noble clan, pays great attention to a lot of things. Just washing one''s face, the fine carving of the gold basin used, the careful selection of utensils and cloth will not go into details. The water used to wash your face must be the cleanest snow in winter, sealed and stored in a cylinder, and then when needed, add spring petals, and then bring it to Wei Qian as a cleansing water. use.
One maid knelt on one side and put the gold basin on her head. The other maid rolled up her sleeves and took some fine silk with green onions and catkins, soaked it in some water, wrung it out and gave it to Wei Qiang to wipe it gently and carefully. , from face to neck...
There were two or three other maids kneeling on both sides of Wei Jian. While massaging Wei Jian''s slightly stiff shoulders, waist, legs and feet, they took some honey water and slowly gave it to Wei Jian to drink...
Wei Qian leaned his head on the soft skin of the maid on one side, breathing in the delicate fragrance lingering around him, and the warm honey moistened his dry throat. Only then did he feel that the throbbing muscles in his head had calmed down slightly, and his whole body The mood slowly calmed down.
By the time Uncle Wei Jing came in the early morning sunshine, Wei Jing had basically recovered, at least on the outside, and had returned to his original elegant and suave appearance.
?Uncle Wei Jing also exhaled secretly. Wei Jian was always respected and favored throughout his life, and he was also extremely smart. Therefore, he had a smooth journey from childhood to adulthood, and basically did not encounter any setbacks. This time, he made a big deal, but his wings were broken at the foot of Pingyang City. A very heavy blow.
?However, if Wei Qian can benefit from it, it may not be entirely a bad thing...
??Wei Jian said slowly: "...This plan...to present the Duke and return to the defense...is such a vicious plan. I never thought that Wang Yi would be so snake-hearted..."
Uncle Wei Jian also sighed and said, "Young Master, do you have any countermeasures?"
??Although Uncle Wei also knew in his heart that in this case, it was impossible to find a solution that had the best of both worlds, he still came to discuss it with some hope after all.
Xian Gong is Wei Xiangong.
?At that time, Duke Xian of Wei fled and returned to Wei.
When he was approaching the outskirts of the capital of Wei State, Duke Xiang of Wei was ready to reward the followers who had accompanied him in fleeing and granted some land to these people.
But Liu Zhuang said: "If they all abide by the country, which one will obey the government? If they all obey, who will abide by the country? Isn''t it wrong for a king to rebel against his own country and have selfish interests?"
—This is a typical dilemma recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in history.
??Whether those who follow Duke Xian of Wei or those who stay in Wei to guard the country, they all perform their duties, and the rewards and punishments for the king should be clear and the rewards and punishments should be convincing.
? Favoring some while ignoring others, favoring the few while ignoring the majority, will naturally lead to a loss of fairness, followed by resentment from the other group.
When the water is uneven, contradictions will naturally arise. When these contradictions develop to an acute level, the status of those at the top will naturally be in jeopardy... As Wei Ji, of course he wants to avoid such big losses on his side, and Wei Other people in the family naturally had the same idea, so conflicts naturally arose.
??The Wei family is huge, intricately connected, and has many natural branches.
??Moreover, this treaty requirement is the most correct in the eyes of other branches of the Wei family -
Scholar clan, without the family, there is still a fart scholar!
The clan comes before the scholars, and the family is more important than the scholars. The obligation and responsibility to protect the family is the most important matter for every scholar among them.
Since this matter was initiated by Wei Jian''s branch, then if something happens, Wei Jian''s branch will naturally need to come out to fight against the big head!
The position of head of the family is not to destroy the family''s foundation, but to guide the direction of the family''s progress. If everyone can corrupt and damage the interests of the family at will without any scruples, how can the entire family be passed down for generations?
So when these two treaties came out, the vast majority of the Wei family members felt that Wang Yi and Fei Qian were reasonable and the treaty they made was very appropriate. Although they didn''t say anything explicitly, they felt that Wang Yi and Fei Qian were reasonable. Basically, I have already agreed for Wei Qian...
As for the branch of Wei Jian...
hehe.
Which benefits are greater for one family or one family member or for the entire clan? Of course, if the Wei family collapses due to this incident and is unable to eat, everyone will still understand and will extend a warm helping hand...
After all, he is still a member of the Wei family.
Uncle Wei Jing thought about the expressions on the faces of the elders of the Wei family last night and the vague information they had learned about each other. He sat across from Wei Jing and was speechless for a moment.
Wei Ju looked at his uncle''s expression and could guess what was going on outside. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head in silence.
??If these old guys weren''t pulling their weight, why would you need to transfer an army from the east to the west and take another force from the west? The original plan was to bring the external forces to integrate the forces within the family, and then in turn suppress and lead the external forces...
In this current situation, these guys are probably putting all the blame back on themselves?
?The decline of his own branch will not greatly affect the Wei family as a whole, and most of the branches that were unsuccessful in the competition for the position of head of the family are probably also ready to take action, right?
It’s better now, it’s just what these people want!
Wei Jian raised his head and stared at his uncle. Although he did not speak, it seemed that he was communicating with his eyes...
Uncle Wei Jian hesitated slightly and frowned.
? He ??had a slight guess about Wei Xi''s thoughts, but after all, this matter was a bit rude and not appropriate.
Seeing this, Wei Jian gritted his teeth and was about to say something when a servant suddenly ran from outside. He ran to the front of the hall panting, with a look of panic on his face, and said: "Elders in the city...it''s dawn. Everyone has left the city..."
Wei Jian was stunned when he heard this, his body shook twice, and finally collapsed...
Two armies confront each other.
Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to scold the formation.
Zhuge shouted loudly: "Qian, how are you doing?"
Gan had no words to reply, so he could only respond casually and retreated to the formation in defeat.
Cao Cao was furious and stepped forward in person. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Zhuge shout again: "Fuck! How are you doing?"
Cao Cao was red-faced and led his army to retreat...
