After Li Yu defeated Zhuge Kongming, he returned to the court.

And the news of the Tang army's victory soon spread to Chang'an City.

Zhen Mingyue heard that there were 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Wei State, and in the end, only 5,000 soldiers and horses were left and fled back, and her whole body suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

"I knew that...... I knew ......"

She has always felt that the Tang State is very strong, and the Wei State is definitely not an opponent, before Su Fu was killed, he was still a little shaken, but now that the Wei State is defeated, she is already very convinced.

And the more she believed in it, the more she felt that she had to find a way to confuse Li Yu.

Perhaps, Li Yu is not too obsessed with women now, but she will let Li Yu slowly indulge in it.

Only by defeating Li Yu can Wei have a chance.

Zhen Mingyue thought in her heart, she suddenly wanted to give birth to this child quickly.

Because, this child is also a way to tie up Li Yu.

With children, it should be easier to touch Tang Yu's heart, right?

The people in Chang'an City were still in a kind of victorious celebration, but Zhen Mingyue was in deep thought.

After Zhuge Kongming returned to the territory of Wei, the treatment was already very poor.

But now in this situation, he can only go back.

When the spring breeze was warm, Zhuge Kongming finally returned to Xudu.

At this time, Wei Cao could no longer continue to go to court, he could only lie in his bedroom now, and everything was handed over to the crown prince Wei Pi.

After Zhuge Kongming returned to Beijing, he went directly to the palace.

When he saw Wei Cao, Zhuge Kongming fell directly to the ground.

"The minister is incompetent, and he has failed to fulfill the trust of the saint, and he asks the saint to punish him." Zhuge Kongming's voice sounded very sad and remorseful, Wei Cao glanced at Zhuge Kongming, and then waved his hand: "Aiqing, get up, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but if you lose the battle, if you are not punished, I am afraid it is a little unreasonable, now, cut off all your positions, and only be the prince to wash the horse." ”

Wei Cao already felt that his body was getting worse and worse, and if he died, next, his son might have to fight back and forth with Sima Yi, that Sima Yi was an old fox, and he could still suppress him, his own son, I was afraid that it would be enough.

Therefore, he can only leave Zhuge Kongming to his son, in this case, our Wei State may still have a chance.

Wei Cao said a few words briefly, and then let Zhuge Kongming leave.

However, although Wei Cao spared Zhuge Kongming, above the court, those courtiers refused to forgive.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhuge Kongming lost the battle, and the Holy Lord just removed him from his position, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?"

"That's it, that's it, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to expel Zhuge Kongming from the East Palace, and the prince can't let him wash the horse."

"That's right, that's right, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish Zhuge Kongming......"

A group of courtiers shouted in the main hall, Wei Pi's eyebrows were slightly condensed, and he was very displeased.

"This is my father's will, do you want to disobey it?"

Wei Pi's words came out, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Dare to disobey the will of the Son of Heaven, that is not a small crime, although Wei Pi is still the prince now, but it is almost the same as becoming the Son of Heaven.

Now he may need Liwei very much, if anyone yells like this again, he may really kill someone.

The hall was very quiet, Sima Yi's eyebrows were slightly condensed, and he didn't say anything.

The ministers discussed other matters before finally retiring from the court.

After retiring from the court, Wei Pi hurriedly returned to the East Palace, and at this time, Zhuge Kongming, who had just returned from the palace, was already waiting for him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister has been defeated and has caused you trouble."

As he spoke, Zhuge Kongming was about to salute, but was stopped by Wei Pi.

"Mr. Zhuge doesn't have to be like this, let's sit down and talk."

After the two of them sat down, Wei Pi finally asked: "At the beginning, Mr. killed Su Fu very smoothly, why did he suddenly lose after meeting Li Yu?" ”

Although I don't doubt Zhuge Kongming, there are some questions that should be asked.

Zhuge Kongming didn't dare to conspire, and told Zhang Shisan about killing Su Fu, and Wei Pi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that they Wei State also sent undercover agents in Chen State.

"It's weird, how did I not know about this?"

"Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know either?"

Wei Pi shook his head, the two of them looked at each other, and felt that the whole thing was really weird.

Zhuge Kongming is a very smart person, after thinking like this for a while, he immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm just afraid of Sima Yi's plan for this matter, he killed Su Fu, Li Yu is bound to take revenge, in that case, I may not survive." ”

Being said by Zhuge Kongming, Wei Pi felt that there was some truth, but he was very strange.

"But why didn't Li Yu kill you when he could have killed you?"

"I don't know about this, if I just want my life, it's easy to ask for it, unless I return to Xudu, there is still value in being used by him?"

There is also utilization value, which is the only thing Zhuge Kongming can think of.

It's just that he can't figure out what else can make Tang Yu feel that he can use after he comes back?

He thought about this for a long time, but he didn't think it through.

Wei Pi nodded, but did not continue this question, as long as he knew that it was Sima Yi's plan, and now that Zhuge Kongming was still alive, Wei Pi was more confident in what would happen next.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, when I entered the palace today, I have already seen the body of the saint, but I am afraid that the saint will not live long."

You can't say this casually, but here in Wei Pi, Zhuge Kongming is not afraid of anything.

"Yes, my father's illness is getting worse and worse, and the imperial doctor said that I am afraid I will not live for a few days."

At this time, Wei Pi hadn't thought of anything else, and he was just a little sad when he heard it.

However, Zhuge Kongming said suddenly: "If the saint dies, I am afraid that the other princes will not give up, among the ministers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must prepare early." ”

Wei Pi has many younger brothers, and there are many who want to compete for the throne, and now that it has reached a critical juncture, it is normal to be cautious.

Throughout the ages, isn't any change of imperial power accompanied by blood and sacrifice?

He Wei Pi is not very light, so naturally he will not feel that his ascension to the throne can be spared.

Moreover, it was still when his father had so many princes.

Wei Pi nodded: "Mr. Zhuge is reasonable, so in your opinion, what should we do?" "The change of imperial power, the key is still in the military power, now that the Holy Lord has handed over the escort army of Xu Du to His Royal Highness, then His Royal Highness must make good use of it and deploy defenses inside and outside the palace, so as to ensure that in case, His Royal Highness can ascend the throne smoothly."
