Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 117 Wei Xie's Loyalty

"Natural, natural."

Wei Xie echoed, "Shangqing, my state of Wei is willing to make friends with Qin. My king has sent me here with full sincerity. I ask you to help my state make a statement to the king of Qin."

As he spoke, Wei Xie pushed forward a box that he had placed on the table since he came in.

Yao Jia raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"Doctor, it's not that I don't want to help. It's just, alas."

"What difficulties do you have, Lord?"

"Master, I have just arrived in Qin State and know little about our affairs."

"The Right Prime Minister of Qin is extremely talented and is greatly beloved by our king. However, he is frail and constantly on medication. Today, he has just invited a physician to his residence for a consultation, and our king hastened to visit him, bringing the young master with him."

"I have received news that the Right Prime Minister is seriously ill and is now bedridden. My king is worried about his health and I'm afraid he will be unable to attend to state affairs for the next few days."

Speaking of this, Yao Jia looked envious.

"Our king values ​​the Right Prime Minister so highly that it is rare in history."

"It's not that I won't help the doctor speak on behalf of the State of Wei, but even if I enter the palace now, my king will not meet me."

Wei Xie was stunned. Is there such a relationship between the monarch and his subjects in this world?

Wei Xie didn't believe it at first, but seeing Yao Jia's envious expression that didn't seem fake, and thinking about what he had heard about the right prime minister of Qin State in the past few days, Wei Xie inexplicably became 60% convinced.

"Here, what should I do?"

"How about this, Doctor, you stay at the inn first. The Right Prime Minister's illness is treated by Dr. Chang Xian, who is experienced and will likely recover soon. By then, my king will be able to attend to government affairs. Until then, I will assist you with your advice. How do you think?"

Wei Xie had no choice but to do so.

After Wei Xie left, he visited several ministers trusted by the King of Qin in the next few days. The results he got were similar. They all said that the king was worried about the right prime minister's illness and had no interest in state affairs, so he had to wait for a few days.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing had already copied most of the "Golden Chamber Essentials" in his mansion.

Put down your pen and stretch your wrists.

"A'er, have the Wei envoys visited those court officials these days?"

"First, I visited Shangqing Yaojia, the Minister of Justice Li Si, and the Minister of Justice Feng Quji. I even visited the Wei envoy from yesterday, Zhao Ping from the Ministry of Commerce."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up, turned his wrist, walked to the window, and looked at the wind and snow outside.

"He is a loyal patriot."

"Unfortunately"

Zhang Yuanqing didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and Er left the room.

At this time, Qingque walked in with a bowl of medicine in her hand.

"My Lord, it's time to take your medicine today."

Zhang Yuanqing: ...

"Qingque, I wasn't sick to begin with, but after drinking this medicine, I became really sick."

He looked at Qingque helplessly, but Qingque remained unmoved. "My Lord, Doctor Chang Xian said that there is nothing serious wrong with your body, but it would be more beneficial for your health if you could recuperate for a period of time."

I'm afraid Doctor Chang Qiong doesn't want medical books anymore.

I will write it now and give it to Dr. Han Shui when I’m done.

Seeing that the Marquis had drunk the medicine, Qingque came out of the room with an empty bowl.

Zhang Yuanqing continued copying books.

In just two days, all of it was copied.

"Ada, take this book to Dr. Han Shui."

"promise."

A Da arrived at the inn quickly. There were not many patients in the inn at that time. Doctor Han Shui was reading the "Qian Jin Fang" in the room.

"Doctor Han Shui, the Marquis asked me to give you this book."

Han Shui took the book doubtfully, and took a look at it as if he had found a treasure.

"Junior brother, senior brother is coming in."

Chang opened the door, walked in, and saw Ada there. "Why is Ada here?"

"The Marquis asked me to deliver this book to Doctor Han Shui."

When Chang Xing heard this, he took two steps at a time and walked to Han Shui's side, snatching the book from Han Shui's hand.

I quickly flipped through two pages.

"Why didn't the Marquis come to me this time?"

"Didn't it say that someone must be called first in any medical book?"

Ah Da was silent. "Since the book has been delivered, I will leave first."

"Junior brother, why did the Marquis give the book to you first this time?"

Chang Xing stared at Han Shui, which made Han Shui feel creepy.

"Brother, how should I know this?"

Han Shui smiled bitterly.

I have never seen anyone as unreasonable as my senior brother.

He actually stole his junior fellow apprentice's medical book.

Chang Xi didn't hesitate any longer and left with the book. Before leaving, he said, "I'll take the book first and give it to you in a few days."

Han Shui: ...

Everyone in Xianyang City was enjoying themselves, but the court of Chu State was somewhat tense.

King Fu Chu of Chu announced today that he would unite the four countries to attack Qin, but Qu Ping and others firmly opposed it.

He believed that this move would only anger the King of Qin and accelerate the destruction of the State of Chu.

Those who supported the King of Chu's decision also argued for their reasons.

They believed that if the joint attack on Qin was successful, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to Qin and benefit Chu.

"You are going to harm the Chu State."

Qu Ping's beard trembled with anger. "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

"I have made up my mind. This time, we must unite the four nations to attack Qin."

"Doctor Qu Ping, just watch as our Chu State reclaims its lost territory."

Qu Ping had no choice but to endure the pain in his heart. When he returned home from court, he could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The servant hurried to call a doctor.

Qu Ping's children were also there to comfort their father.

King Fu Chu of Chu quickly decided on the people to be sent as envoys to the states of Wei, Yan and Qi.

Lu He volunteered to go as an envoy to the State of Wei, and the King of Chu approved his request.

Lu He traveled quickly all the way without delay and arrived in Daliang, Wei State in a few days.

When the envoys from Chu State came to visit, the King of Wei naturally received them.

The Qin spies in Wei quickly reported the matter back to Qin.

Soon, Generals Meng Wu and Heng Qian set out to attack the State of Wei.

At this time, Wei Xie, who was in Xianyang City, was also ordered by the King of Qin to be thrown out of Xianyang City.

It was because the King of Wei received the envoys from the State of Chu and wanted to join forces with the State of Chu to attack Qin.

"Your Majesty, you are confused."

Wei Xie stood outside Xianyang City, looking at the Qin army defending the city, and left reluctantly.

Wei Guo

"Report, Your Majesty, the Wei general has an urgent report: the Qin army is attacking Wei. Your Majesty, please send more troops as soon as possible."

"what!"

"Why did the Qin army suddenly attack Wei? Where is Wei Xie?"

"Your Majesty, the Qin army claims that Wei is planning to ally with Chu to attack Qin. The King of Qin is furious and has ordered the Qin army to attack Wei."

"this,"

The King of Wei was staggering and took several steps back before being supported by a eunuch.

"It is I who have harmed the State of Wei! It is I who have harmed the State of Wei!"

The King of Wei was overwhelmed with grief and almost collapsed. He then pushed the eunuch away.

"Quick, go and inform the court officials to come to the palace to discuss this matter."

"promise."

The eunuch left in a hurry, and soon the court officials gathered in the Wei Palace.

At this time, the court officials had already learned that the Qin army was attacking Wei, and General Wei Zhan was afraid that he could not hold out for much longer.

In the court, the officials were discussing the matter.

The King of Wei propped himself up and sat on the throne.

"What's your plan?"

The court officials looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Prime Minister Wei Du sighed repeatedly. He had advised the king that day not to receive the envoy from Chu and to expel him from Daliang immediately.

"Your Majesty, the only way for Wei to survive now is to unite with the four nations and attack Qin."
