The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Two days later, Wei Lang also woke up from his coma, "Father, are you okay?"

With the help of the maid, he slowly leaned against the head of the bed and turned his head to look at his five sons kneeling on the ground. The eldest son Wei Shen looked worried, the second son Wei Li seemed to be worried, but in fact, if you look closely, you can see that his mouth corners are slightly raised, the third son Wei He had no expression but his eyes were red, and he probably cried for a long time, the fourth son Wei Si had no aura of a young master, and the fifth son Wei Gao was crying with his face covered.

Wei Lang grabbed Wei Shen's hand and asked sharply, "Shen'er, I regret it very much! If I hadn't called my younger brother over, I guess there wouldn't be such a disastrous defeat! Shen'er, you are responsible for managing state affairs during the days I recuperate. Treat your younger brothers well."

"Yes! Father." Wei Shen replied.

Wei Li also hurried over and cried, "Father, I am very worried about you! Father..."

Wei Lang looked at his son with disdain. Among the five sons, only Wei Li was a playboy. Wei He was not interested in literature but martial arts. If Wei Si became the king, he would hardly look like a king. He would not be afraid of him. Wei Gao was too weak. He looked at the other four sons and said, "Remember! You must remember that brothers are united and can break metal. You must assist your brother well. During my recuperation, if anyone dares to jump out and cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless! Wei Li, did you hear me!"

"Listen to my father's orders!" Wei Li said while cursing this old man in his heart. He was so angry but he still didn't die. It's a pity that he can live so long!

(In the history of Wei, Wei Shen was originally the crown prince, but he committed suicide in the Battle of Maling because he could not bear the humiliation. After Wei Shen's death, his second son Wei Li was originally the crown prince, but King Hui of Wei let his third son Wei He take the position. Wei Li seemed to be killed in the end. It is estimated that his rebellion failed. Wei He died early, and it was the turn of the fourth son Wei Si to succeed to the throne.)

Wei Lang looked at Wei Shen again and said, "Shen'er, you must also remember to take good care of your brothers. Don't do too much, and don't do things so ruthlessly."

Seeing Wei Lang's earnest advice, Wei Shen probably had the same idea when he won the throne. At that time, Prince Ang did not compete with King Wei for the throne, so he did not kill them all.

Wei Shen swore to the sky: "If I, Wei Shen, kill my relatives for no reason, it will be unforgivable!"

Wei Lang nodded slightly and ordered the rest of the people to leave. Only Wei Shen and him were left in the room. Wei Lang said earnestly: "Shen'er, you must unite the relationship between the civil and military ministers. This is the time for you to lead the country alone. Remember not to panic too much. During this time, you must remember that you are the king who is high above, and you must not be too close to others! You must have all the majesty of the king and the demeanor of being polite to others!"

"Father, I understand." Wei Shen said respectfully.

Wei Lang nodded and said: "Among your brothers, Wei He can become a general in the future. I remember that you seem to have the best relationship with Wei He. Wei Gao is still relatively young now. He should be able to do it after a few more years of training.He is both civil and military, and I really can't say anything about the other two, especially Wei Li. I think he wants the throne and the position of the crown prince so badly. He must take action when he should. This is the way of a king! "As soon as the voice fell, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Wei Ling's eyes. You know, Wei Ling became the king by stepping on the bodies of his brothers.

Wei Shen was also frightened by the murderous aura on Wei Ling, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The son obeys the order of the father!"

"Okay, go down." Wei Ling said slowly.

As soon as Wei Shen went out, Wei Li came over and asked with a smile: "Brother, what did the father say to you?"

"Nothing, just lamenting the tragic defeat of this battle." Wei Shen said casually.

Wei He and Wei Si also came over. Wei He spoke first: "Brother, I will always follow you! I will do whatever my elder brother tells me to do!"

Wei Si also responded: "Me too!"

Wei Shen looked at the two men and found them a little funny, and said: "Wei He, Wei Si, you just need to do your own things, I will take care of the state affairs."

Then he said to Wei He: "Brother He, you are the one who likes to practice martial arts the most among us, you are good at archery and riding horses, why don't you go to worship General Long Jia as your teacher and ask him to teach you the art of war?"

"Okay! My elder brother still understands me, I like fighting the most!" Wei He said excitedly.

Wei Gao also came over and asked timidly: "Brother, is there anything I can do?"

Wei Shen touched Wei Gao's head and smiled: "You just need to study hard, if you also want to practice martial arts, I will ask a powerful soldier in the army to teach you."

"I also want to practice martial arts, and I also want to defend the country with the sword in my hand! "Wei Gao said firmly.

Prime Minister Hui Shi, Meng Ke, Pang Juan and other civil and military ministers were waiting outside the palace, all anxiously watching. If the King of Wei was really dead or alive, some people wanted to make the prince the king, while a small number of people had different ideas, and others chose to remain neutral.

Seeing Wei Shen coming out, Hui Shi hurriedly ran up and asked: "Your Highness, how is the king's health?"

"My father is in good health, just rest for a while." Wei Shen replied.

Hui Shi handed over the completed list and said: "This is the list of families of fallen soldiers, and the pension for each household has been marked on it."

"Okay, I understand, I will rely more on the Prime Minister's assistance for domestic affairs." He said to Pang Juan: "General, I will rely more on you to assist me in military affairs."

"Your Highness, I will do my best to assist you. "The ministers shouted.

Wei Shen ordered: "In order to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the defeat of Wei State to suddenly attack our country, General Long Jia, you should go to Hexi immediately, gather the soldiers of Hedong and Hexi counties, and be prepared to guard against Qin State. Once Qin State attacks Guanzhong County, inform me immediately. Sima, you should immediately collect food and grass to supply General Long Jia's army at all times. General, the Wei Wuzu lost this time will rely on you to train more!"

"I obey your orders."

Qin State Court

After reading the secret report, Qin Gong Ying Quliang smiled from ear to ear and said to all the ministers: "Everyone, the Wei army was defeated by the Qi army, and none of the 60,000 troops under Prince Ang survived. This is a godsend!"

The ministers congratulated and said: "This is a blessing for our Qin! It's a blessing for your majesty!"

Da Liangzao Shang Yang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wei was defeated. I think we should send 100,000 troops to take advantage of the opportunity to recover the lost territory and take back all the Guanzhong land occupied by Wei. In this way, Guanzhong of our Qin will be completely occupied. Done! After that, we will wait for the opportunity, and when Wei is defeated again, we will take the opportunity to send troops, so that the land west of the Yellow River can all belong to our Qin State! "

"Okay! This time, Daliangzao will be the main general, and Zicheying will be the deputy general, leading 100,000 troops to attack Wei!"

Shang Yang said again: "Your Majesty, but it is not time for us to send troops yet. Wei is defeated this time, and other countries must attack. When those countries take action, we will take action, so that we will have fewer Wei troops to deal with!"

"Okay, let's do as Daliangzao said." Ying Quliang smiled.

"Your Majesty is wise."
