Chapter 311: Celebration Banquet [Two in One](2/2)
"I never expected that I would meet you here."
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. Although Lian Pi could not be called an enemy to Cheng Cheng, it is true that he hated Cheng Cheng. Who made Cheng Cheng betray him back then?
"Lemou is also quite surprised... General Lian Pi is here safe and sound."
After saying this, Le Cheng glanced at Le Yi, who was not far away, and nodded slightly towards the latter, because in terms of family relationship, Le Cheng was Le Yi's cousin.
"Success, what's wrong? What happened?"
Following a question, King Huan Zhao Xuan came here with Luo Yao, Zhou Min, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu and others.
"I just met my old boss, His Highness Prince Huan."
Le Cheng replied with a chuckle.
King Huan Zhao Xuan took a few steps closer, looked at Lian Pi and then at Lecheng, and said as if to make peace: "It's getting late, please take your seat first... General Lecheng?"
"yes."
Le Cheng nodded, then looked at Lian Pi, smiled and clasped his fists, and said, "General Lian Pi, I'll say goodbye for now."
At this time, Zhao Chengyue seemed to have noticed something, and whispered from the side: "General Lian Pi, today is a celebration feast. If you have any grudges, it is better to leave them to tomorrow..."
Lian Pi nodded slightly.
Although he seems to be a tough guy, and he often prefers the most direct tactics when fighting, this does not mean that he is an empty-headed reckless man. Take what happened just now, Lian Pi can tell it was successful at a glance. Han
The two of them, Xu, were attracted by Zhao Xuan, the younger brother of King Huan of Wei, Zhao Run.
Of course, the name of Huan Wang Zhao Xuan alone cannot scare him Lian Pi. After all, his Lian Pi now has a lot of connections in Wei, such as Shao Hu of Wei Wujun, Wei Ji guarding Hedong, and even Wei Wang Zhao Run.
He has a good relationship.
But as Zhao Chengyue persuaded, on days like today, there is really no need to cause any conflicts with Chengyue due to old grudges, or even offend King Huan Zhao Xuan for this.
"Unexpectedly, after success, Han Xu also defected to Wei...er, Wei."
Seeing the success, Han and Xu walked away, and Yan Kui said with emotion.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that except for Li Mu, Ma She, Baoyuan, and Ju Xin, the first generation of Beiyuan's ten tycoons were like Lian Pi, Qin Kai, Le Yi, Jin Mao, and Feng Ting, including him, Yan Kui.
They all defected to Wei.
Among the second generation of Beiyuan's ten tycoons, Lian Pi's success, Xu Li who succeeded Ma She, and Sima Shang who succeeded Ju Xin also defected to Wei.
In other words, a total of nine generals from the two generations of Beiyuan's ten tycoons eventually defected to Wei.
This made Yan Kui feel inexplicably: Perhaps, the Wei State is really the general trend of the world.
About half an hour later, when the sound of "His Majesty has arrived" was heard outside the palace, the noisy Zichen Palace suddenly became silent.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Wei Wang Zhao Run slowly walked in from outside the Zichen Palace and walked towards the throne of honor at the end of the palace.
After they were seated, Jie Ziu, who took over the celebration banquet in his place because Du You, the minister of the inner court, was seriously ill, shouted in a deep voice: "Generals and ministers, please see your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard countless courtiers and generals in the palace, either cupping their hands or clasping their fists, calling in unison: "I, the last general, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Among them, there are also Huan Hu, Chen Shou, Le Yi, Yan Kui, Le Cheng, Han Xu, Ji Wu, Wei Shao, Wei Yun, Wei Zhen and others who have defected to Wei.
"Everyone is safe."
Zhao Runxu raised his right hand to signal the courtiers and generals to sit back at their seats. Immediately, he looked around at the civil servants and generals in the hall, feeling bursts of inexplicable pride in his heart.
When he was born, it was the early days of the Hongde period. At that time, his country, Wei, had just experienced the "Daliang Civil War" and the "Nanyan Rebellion", two civil strifes that devastated the country.
At that time, the Wei State had only more than 80,000 regular troops, and it was trembling under the threat of Korea in the north and Chu State in the south.
Now, more than thirty years later, he, the Wei State, has taken control of the two countries, Han and Wei, and annexed the Lu State, including all the talented people from the three countries of Han, Wei, and Lu.
This reminded Zhao Run of his father, who worked hard to govern the country for twenty days.
"It would be great if my father still had six uncles and five uncles, and they could see how strong Wei Wei is today..."
Zhao Run sighed secretly.
"His Majesty?"
Seeing that Zhao Run didn't speak for a long time and seemed a little distracted, Jie Ziyu quickly signaled the eunuch Gao He with his eyes, asking the latter to remind his majesty in a low voice.
Under Gao He's reminder, Zhao Run came back to his senses, looked around at the civil servants and generals in the hall, and said with a chuckle: "Today, many people must have seen some new faces, such as General Ji Wu, General Huan Hu, Le Yi
General, General Yan Kui... But you don’t need to have any doubts, these generals have defected to our great Wei, and their defection will make our great Wei become more powerful!"
"Some people may say, isn't my Great Wei powerful enough? My Great Wei is already the overlord of the Central Plains... However, I would like to say that my Great Wei is not powerful enough, far from it, because there are still people trying to challenge me.
The Great Wei threatens our Great Wei, such as Qi, Chu and Qin!... To be truly powerful is to make the enemies of our Great Wei lose the confidence to oppose our Great Wei, and to make them, as soon as they hear that our Great Wei
I am afraid of Wei’s name!”
Picking up a glass of wine from the table, Zhao Run slowly walked down the steps and continued: "Everyone in the world says that I am domineering and cruel, but not many people know that when I was young, I had no great ambitions and just wanted to sit around all day long.
Support Mei Ji and live a life of lust and pleasure..."
"..."
Hearing these words, at least 80% of the civil servants and generals in the palace looked horrified.
Especially generals such as Le Yi, Ji Wu, Huan Hu, etc. who had just defected to Wei and did not know the king of Wei Zhao Run very well.
They simply couldn't believe their ears: the Duke of Wei, Run, who swept across the Central Plains and made all the countries in the Central Plains tremble, and the king of Wei, Run, was actually a man with no ambitions when he was young?
Are you kidding?
"I'm not joking. Being a dandy in the prosperous age was indeed my only ambition. But later, I suddenly discovered that it was not easy for me to be a dandy, because my Wei Dynasty was too weak at the time.
When will South Korea and Chu be overthrown, then I will be able to just be a dandy who has subjugated the country..."
Zhao Run laughed at himself. Seeing this, everyone in the hall also gave some laughter in cooperation.
Pressing his hands, Zhao Run continued after the laughter in the palace gradually disappeared: "In recent years, after our Wei Dynasty has gradually become stronger, I can't help but be a little content with the status quo, because as I said, I am not actually
I don’t have any great ambitions. I just hope that I can properly govern the country so that the people under my rule can live and work in peace and contentment and stay away from the war... But this war is like a blow to the head. Only then did I understand that if you don’t harm others, others may not harm you.
, Doubt, fear, desire, these people's emotions may cause war, just like this time the coalition forces of various countries conquered our great Wei... Although our great Wei won the war, there were nearly one million people in the country.
As a result, lives were lost.”
"...I am very angry, unprecedentedly angry. Our great Wei has never raised unjust troops, but why can't we still avoid war? I thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that my great Wei... no, it should be said that the entire Central Plains,
The reason why it is in constant war is because there are many countries in the Central Plains, with different positions and interests, which leads to endless wars. If we, the Wei Dynasty, want to obtain eternal stability, there is only one way... to destroy all
Enemies who are enemies of our Great Wei, or who hinder our Great Wei! Let the banner of our Great Wei be planted throughout the Central Plains; let the earth under the sun shine become the territory of our Great Wei... If given time, the whole world will be
If they are all called Wei people, then there will naturally be no more wars in the Central Plains."
"This is destined to be a lonely and difficult road. I sincerely hope that all of you here, as well as the thousands of people in my great Wei Dynasty, can help me complete this road."
"Perhaps I will spend my whole life still unable to complete this feat. But I still have sons, and my sons will beget grandchildren, and my grandsons will beget sons. There will be endless descendants. One day, I, the great Wei Dynasty, will be able to encompass the entire world, and there will be no more wars in the Central Plains.
!”
"..."
Hearing what Zhao Run said, all the civil servants and generals in the palace were stunned. They were all shocked by the bold words of Wei King Zhao Run.
Even though Le Yi, Yan Kui, Sima Shang and others who had joined the Wei State for the first time felt that the monarch in front of them was a little different - the Korean monarch Han Ran had given them such a similar feeling before, but this one in front of them
Although he was a monarch of Wei State, he seemed to be more pure than Han Wangran.
This is a monarch whose mind can accommodate the entire Central Plains in a real sense.
At this time, Zhao Run raised the wine bottle in his hand. After looking around at the civil servants and generals in the palace, he shouted loudly: "Respect the great Wei Dynasty!"
All the civil servants and generals in the palace, including the soldiers and generals of the Wei State in the square outside the palace, raised their wine bottles and cups one after another.
