October 7, 259 BC.

Beam.

A carriage slowly drove into the palace gate, and the carriage was no one else, it was Wei Wuji, the prime minister of Wei who had been in office for half a year.

Several palace guards standing guard next to the door saw Wei Wuji, and immediately subconsciously straightened up and saluted Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji noticed the guards, nodded to them, and then rode away in the carriage.

After Wei Wuji's car drove away, several palace guards chatted in whispers.

A tall and thin court guard said mysteriously, "Have you ever heard the rumors in the city in recent days?" ”

The other guards hurriedly asked, "What are the rumors?" ”

The tall and thin guard was surprised: "You don't even know? ”

The other guards said: "I have been on duty in the palace recently, how do you know?" Don't talk nonsense, talk about it! ”

The tall and thin guards looked left and right, and found that there was indeed no one, so he spoke: "I heard that Xinling Jun ordered the god to steal the talisman a while ago, and then went to the front line of Yecheng with the talisman, killed the general Jin Contempt and seized the military power, and then went against the king's order to attack Qin, so that there was the defeat of Qin Changping!" ”

"What?" As soon as the tall and thin guard said this, the others were shocked.

Wei Wuji actually betrayed in the Battle of Changping? This is big news in the truest sense of the word.

After a few breaths, someone recovered from the shock and questioned: "Xinlingjun is known as a virtuous person, how can he be such a person?" I'm afraid you didn't hear this rumor from your family. ”

When the tall and thin guard heard this, he became anxious: "Nonsense, this rumor is what I have heard others say, it is absolutely true!" ”

The guards looked at each other, but they all looked suspicious.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "You can't wait to be on duty, let's talk here!" ”

The guards jumped, and when they looked up, they realized that it was the team leader who had arrived.

Forced by the gaze in the eyes of the team leader, everyone felt empty in their hearts, and hurriedly explained the truth of the matter.

After hearing this, the team leader shook his head speechlessly, and went up with one person and one kick.

"If you don't do a good job, you will know about these rumors in the future!"

The guards each took a kick, but they were not discouraged, but relieved in their hearts.

The temper of the self-patriarch is still understood, and it is not a matter if he is beaten a few times, but if he is not beaten, it is likely to be a big deal.

So someone else had the audacity to ask, "Captain, is this true or false?" ”

The captain glared at these curious subordinates fiercely: "Nonsense, of course this is a rumor!" You don't have to think about it with your brain, if Xinling Jun really did such a disobedient thing, how could the king take him as a minister? ”

As soon as these words came out, several guards nodded their heads again and again, showing a look of sudden realization.

The captain pointed at the heads of the guards one by one and shouted: "Be careful with me, don't spread these rumors again, beware of the ears of any big people, even I won't be able to save your life at that time!" ”

The guards were resigned, watching the captain leave.

After a while, the captain returned to a nondescript house in the corner of the palace, where the Wei court guards usually lived.

The captain entered his room, looked left and right to make sure that no one was there, and then took out a piece of silk paper from a hidden corner under the bed, and wrote a letter with a brush.

"Recently, there have been very strong rumors in the city, all of which are aimed at Wei Wuji, and I am afraid that the Qin people are behind this matter."

At the check-in office, the captain wrote a "Hu, Wei XIV. Then he blew the ink dry, and carefully tucked the letter close to him.

When it was time to take turns at night, the letter would be sent out of Miyagi and sent to Hu Yiwei's headquarters in Handan.

···

Wei Wuji didn't know that so many things had happened with just a nod, and at this moment, the new prime minister of Wei was actually concerned about another big thing.

Moments later, Wei Wuji met Wei Wangyu in the palace who was flirting with Long Yangjun.

Wei Wangyu didn't seem surprised by Wei Wuji's arrival, still lying on Gao Ji's lap.

Since the Battle of Changping, Wei Wangyu's favor for Gao Ji has been better than one day, even to the point of inseparability.

Wei Wangyu opened his mouth and said, "Xinling Jun, what's the matter with you?" ”

Wei Wuji couldn't help frowning when he looked at Wei Wangyu like this, but he still pressed it down and saluted respectfully towards Wei Wangyu, and then said: "My lord, I heard that the king has issued a military talisman and is mobilizing the army, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Just before entering the palace, Wei Wuji had just received news that the Wei army had suddenly begun to move on a large scale.

According to the laws of the Wei state, anyone who mobilizes an army of more than 100 people needs a monarch's military talisman.

Therefore, unless the movement of tens of thousands of troops is a rebellion, it must be that Wei Wangyu issued a military talisman.

But the problem is that Wei Wangyu mobilized such a large army but did not communicate with Wei Wuji, the prime minister of Wei, which was obviously very abnormal, so Wei Wuji entered the palace as soon as he received the news.

In response to Wei Wuji's questioning, the expression on Wei Wangyu's face did not change much, but said a little casually: "The widow has agreed to the request of the Qin envoy and wants to fight the Chu State together with Qin Qi!" ”

"What?" Wei Wuji was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "The envoy of Qin asked the king to attack the Chu State together?" ”

"That's right." Wei Wangyu nodded affirmatively and said, "What, does Xinling Jun have any objections?" ”

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and said, "That's not what the minister meant. The minister just felt that maybe the king should discuss a thing or two with the minister before sending troops. ”

Wei Wangyu showed an unhappy look on his face, snorted heavily, and said, "Why, the widow can't even do the affairs of this Wei State now?" ”

Wei Wangyu was obviously very unhappy.

Not to mention the previous grievances between the two brothers, just say that since Wei Wuji became the prime minister and received strong support from Zhao State, Wei Wuji's power can be said to be like blowing up a balloon, which has seriously threatened the royal power of Wei Wangyu.

Of course, even so, Wei Wuji maintained enough respect for Wei Wangyu, and never overstepped his authority in any matter, but just dutifully did what a Xiangbang should do, which can be said to be completely impeccable.

But the better Wei Wuji did, the more Wei Wangyu looked at Wei Wuji unhappily.

In all fairness, for a major event like this to send troops to conquer other countries, Wei Wangyu should indeed have a conversation with Wei Wuji, a minister, and discuss it.

But Wei Wangyu didn't want to do it.

Wei Wuji bowed his head and said, "The affairs of the Wei State are naturally obeyed by the order of the king. ”

"Good." Wei Wangyu stared at Wei Wuji and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then what other opinions does Xinling Jun have?" If not, stand down! ”

Wei Wuji frowned and said, "Great King, the alliance between the Three Jin Dynasty and the Third Jin Dynasty is today, if the Great King rashly attacks the Chu State, I am afraid that it will cause the Zhao State to be dissatisfied." ”

Wei Wangyu's face changed, a fierce expression flashed from his face, and he said coldly: "The alliance of the three Jin Dynasty is not the alliance of Wei and Chu!" Since the widow did not betray the alliance with Zhao Guo, then he Zhao Dan could not give orders to the widow! ”

Wei Wangyu flicked his sleeves as he spoke, and said proudly: "And now that the Huns are invading, Zhao is busy saving himself, how can he pay attention to the affairs of the Central Plains?" Thou hast to worry too much! Let's go down and prepare for the logistics of the army. ”

Wei Wuji saw that Wei Wangyu's face was firm, and he sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that it would be useless to continue talking, so he could only bow down and salute: "In this case, the minister will retire." ”
