Inside the forbidden palace of Weidu, the lights are bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

His Majesty King Wei, who had been away from the Wei capital for more than half a year, finally returned to the palace, which was naturally a big deal.

Within an hour, all the important figures of the court and the central government gathered here to listen to the instructions of His Majesty the King of Wei.

The palace maids and eunuchs walked through the front and back of the main hall one after another, one by one, cautious, after all, it was the King of Wei who came back, and he needed more manpower, if the prince was in charge of the country, there was no need to make it so complicated.

The six major offerings, which are usually not in the court, also came one after another.

These six worshippers are all masters at the peak of Taiyi Xuanxian and enjoy the treatment of princes, in fact, except for King Wei, no one's account is sold, even if it is the meaning of the eldest prince Wei Wuji, they can be ignored.

Except for the King of Wei himself, no one was able to mobilize their six major worshippers.

It is precisely because of these six offerings that the King of Wei can live happily in the Eastern Capital.

Then, there is the Central Cabinet, as well as the six ministers and important officials of various departments.

In the main hall, hundreds of high-ranking officials soon gathered, all of whom were the most powerful group of people in the Eastern Wei Kingdom.

Because it was not an official dynasty, there were no such strict etiquette requirements, and everyone gathered together in groups of three or five to discuss what was the reason for King Wei's sudden return to the palace this time?

"Isn't the eldest prince a prisoner?"

"He should know it best in his heart."

"You can't say that, after all, Your Majesty is the King of Wei."

"Why didn't you see the second prince, shouldn't he be at the forefront at this time?"

"I heard that since the day before yesterday, the second prince has been sick in bed."

"It's a strange thing, didn't the second prince like to rush to the front and please His Majesty?"

"Recently, the situation in Weidu has been treacherous, and people can't see through it!"

Everyone talked about it, and they all felt that the situation in the palace was a little complicated, and everyone didn't talk about it anymore, so as to save the wrong sentence and burn themselves.

After all, now that His Majesty King Wei is old, he has not set up a crown prince, and although the eldest prince is in charge of the government as a superintendent, he lacks the righteous name that can be supported by all the people.

If it weren't for that, the two princes would not be ready to fight for the throne.

For the ministers, in fact, their feelings about this situation are also quite complicated.

Those big people who are already in high positions and cannot be promoted are naturally reluctant to get involved in this kind of battle for succession, after all, even if they want to invest in the new king, there is no big profit at all, on the contrary, the risk is very high.

Only those middle-level officials who have squeezed their heads and want to drill up the camp will be particularly keen on this kind of thing, which is a big gamble for them, once they win the bet, they will have everything, even if they lose, they may not be beaten to death with a stick.

"Greetings!"

As the voice of the steward and eunuch came, everyone immediately began to tidy up their clothes, and then rushed in to meet the king of Wei.

King Wei's mood seemed okay, he nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal the ministers to calm down.

"The widow has been in the Eastern Capital for a long time, but he didn't expect such a thing."

As soon as the King of Wei opened his mouth, he asked about the annihilation of the Eastern Wei Air Fleet.

After all, this time, the matter was so big that even the national capital of the Eastern Wei Kingdom was shaken a little.

The reason why the Eastern Wei State was able to annex the surrounding small countries and become stronger was because they attached great importance to war equipment, and an air fleet was almost invincible.

On this planet where the flying skills of the immortals are restricted, the existence of the air fleet is almost invincible.

However, he didn't expect that such a meritorious army would be destroyed in one fell swoop, which made King Wei unable to sit still.

"The minister is guilty."

Li Qi, the secretary of the military department, walked out hard.

As the secretary of the military department, he will definitely not be able to escape, especially when Long Luopu's army went on the expedition, it was the instructions of the eldest prince to him, no matter how you look at it, he can't escape this responsibility.

It's just that Li Qi's heart is also a little depressed, after all, the air fleet has always been an invincible and decisive force, and this time the whole army was annihilated, which is really a bit inexplicable.

No one could have imagined that on the green grassland, there would be a force that could restrain the air fleet.

"Boss, what do you say?"

King Wei set his sights on the eldest prince Wei Wuji again.

"The retainer is guilty."

The eldest prince, Wei Wuji, bowed his head and replied.

There is no way to do this, after all, he is in charge of the country, and it is his credit to have good things, and he can't hide from bad things.

King Wei is still able to control the court situation at such an old age, which is naturally because he has the means and strategy, so in this kind of big matter, the eldest prince Wei Wuji will not hide or shirk the responsibility at all, which will only make his situation worse.

"Guilty and guilty, what else would you say besides guilty?"

"Where's the second one?"

King Wei's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and he asked about the whereabouts of the second prince.

After all, it is indeed a very strange thing that the second prince, who is the son, did not appear for such a big event as King Wei's return to the palace.

"The second child said that he had been sick for several days."

The eldest prince replied simply.

In this kind of thing, he is very smart, and he is never willing to be sloppy, and he has nothing to say, so as not to give others the impression that he and the second child are attacking each other.

It's normal for everyone to compete for the throne, but it's not interesting to make small moves.

Even if you look at the problem from the height of King Wei, you won't like an heir who doesn't have a big picture and can only play small tricks.

"What can he do?!"

"Find someone to call him over! Or carry him over! ”

King Wei's face became a little gloomy, and he said angrily.

Obviously, in this matter, King Wei was indeed a little angry.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is indeed sick."

"After Chen heard about it the day before yesterday, he went over to visit, and he was indeed suffering from an emergency and passed out several times."

At this time, the second prince Wei Dongming's sworn friend, Chen Huahe, the squire of the military department, walked out and explained helplessly.

"Oh, is that so?"

"Could it be that my son is going to die?"

When King Wei heard this, there was actually a hint of mockery in his tone.

When everyone heard this, they all felt a little confused.

After all, it is normal for the royal relationship to be discordant, but as the king of Wei, who is Lao Tzu, it is really shocking that he actually said this about his son.

Could it be that King Wei is dissatisfied with the second prince? This is something new.

"Your Majesty, the latest information received by the Ministry of Rites!"

"Red Moon City has insulted the messenger we sent over!"

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly jumped out and successfully used this news to save the second prince who might be severely reprimanded.

"What?!"

When King Wei heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It is true that Hongyue City destroyed the air fleet of the Eastern Wei Kingdom, but it was all caused by the use of tricks and the unpreparedness of attacking it, if it is said that Hongyue City has the courage to fight face-to-face with the Eastern Wei State, the King of Wei will definitely not believe it.

However, this kind of insult to the other party's envoy is really impossible for ordinary countries to do, can it be said that they really plan to declare war on the Eastern Wei State?

"What the hell is going on, report quickly!"

King Wei asked.

"According to the information coming back, this is how it happened......"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu quickly told the Ministry of Rites that the envoy of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Tian, had sent an envoy to Red Moon City.

It was nothing more than Lord Tian who was ordered to go to Red Moon City to discuss the matter of recovering the bones of Long Luopu and others and marrying them, but there were some problems in the details, so the matter collapsed.

"Now the whole of Red Moon City is very angry, thinking that our Great Wei is deliberately provoking them."

"Lord Tian thinks that this matter has been mishandled and has caused a lot of trouble to our Great Wei."

The Ministry of Rites concluded with a final conclusion.

"Boss, did you do this?"

After hearing this, King Wei looked at the eldest prince Wei Wuji with a somewhat gloomy face and asked.

For a city-state capable of annihilating the 100,000 troops of the Eastern Wei Air Fleet, the King of Wei certainly had reason to value their existence, but if it was really as Lord Libu Tian said, the Great Prince arranged this marriage operation, but succeeded in angering the people of Red Moon City, this would be a very bad practice.

"Erchen doesn't know about this."

The eldest prince Wei Wuji shook his head and said.

This matter is indeed not his doing, after all, he is lustful, but he has not considered such a thing as marriage, Long Luopu has already died because of his expedition to Red Moon City, if he marries the city lord of Red Moon City, I am afraid that many people will be dissatisfied from the bottom of their hearts.

The eldest prince Wei Wuji was well aware of this situation, so he didn't have such thoughts at all.

"Humph!"

"Second child, second child, it's a long skill!"

"In order to compete for the throne, you even dare to do such a thing that affects national politics!"

King Wei was old, but he was not confused, and he quickly figured out the whole story.

If there was no such thing as this incident, and the second prince Wei Dongming pretended to be sick and did not come because of other reasons, then after King Wei learned about it, he could see at a glance what kind of disgraceful role the second prince Wei Dongming played in this matter.

"Forget it, the second child doesn't need to be used!"

"Spread the widow's will, the second prince Wei Dongming, detained in the palace, and he is not allowed to go out without an edict!"

King Wei knew very well in his heart that at this time, he could not let his two sons fight among themselves.

In that case, the Great Wei will be a little unstable, so they must be isolated.

After hearing this, the ministers were a little surprised, after all, this kind of detention of the prince is really rare in ordinary times, the second prince was detained in the palace, although he did not suffer any substantial damage, but this almost means that he has been completely defeated from the army.

The faces of those ministers who had always supported the second prince suddenly became very ugly.

"Red Moon City provokes the majesty of Great Wei, and it must be severely punished!"

"Spread the decree, prepare an army of 300,000, and go to Red Moon City within two months!"

In the end, King Wei finally made this decision.

"
