King Wei, who looked like a skeletal figure, smiled helplessly when he saw Chen Ziyou's puzzled look: "When I heard about Mr. Breaking the Qin Army, I longed for it, but I never thought that Chen Xiang was so young. ”

Chen Ziyou calmed down his emotions a little, adjusted his expression, and said politely: "It's really a fluke to break Qin, I never thought that I could be favored by King Wei, this is an honor." ”

King Wei said noncommittally and softly: "Chen Xiang doesn't have to be polite, can you talk to Gu about the overall plan of that battle." ”

Chen Ziyou nodded, and began to talk to the King of Wei, from the very beginning of giving up Zhuguan to show the enemy weakness, creating the illusion of defending Shoucheng, to holding on to open the city gate for two months, confusing the Qin army with 6,000 cavalry, and finally setting up an ambush in the city and attacking the Qin army.

When King Wei first heard this, his face was still puzzled, and he asked Chen Ziyou questions from time to time, and Chen Ziyou did not hide it, and finally suddenly realized: "What an empty city plot!" Chen Xiang was far-sighted, which made Gu admire. ”

Chen Ziyou's doubts in his heart were deeper, and after some words, the young King of Wei asked about everything was critical, and the art of war was even better than some of the generals of Zhongshan Kingdom, although he had less experience in actual combat, but he had to say that he was a talented monarch, no different from the rumors that he was generally talentless and virtuous.

King Wei saw that Chen Ziyou was not complacent in the face of his praise, and there was even more appreciation in his eyes: "Chen Xiang has already seen my Great Wei Qunchen. ”

Chen Ziyou nodded: "I have already seen it in the court." ”

"Then according to what Mr. sees, how about my Great Wei courtier?" King Wei then asked.

Chen Ziyou said without thinking: "Although I didn't have an in-depth conversation, everyone in the audience was extraordinary, and they were all ministers of Kuang Fu Sheji. ”

King Wei's body trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a little anger in his expression: "Chen Xiang only sees the surface, but he doesn't know what's inside." In Gu's view, although the Wei ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were talented, there were almost no loyal people! ”

Chen Ziyou's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand the reason why King Wei wanted to meet him alone, but his face was still unmoved: "In the lower body of Zhongshan Xiangguo, it is not good to talk about the government of other countries. ”

King Wei looked at Chen Ziyou with some disappointment, sighed for a long time and said: "The things mentioned in Uncle Zhongshan's letter are already known to Lone, but the major affairs of the court and China are decided by Wu Kui, and it is not Lone's control. ”

Hearing that the King of Wei called Wu Kui by his name, Chen Ziyou was a little more firm in his thoughts: "The King of Wei is sick, so he should rest and recuperate, since this is the case, go down to talk to Wu Xiang." ”

When King Wei heard Chen Ziyou say this, there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and when he saw that Chen Ziyou was really going to retire, he hurriedly stopped him: "Chen Xiang, don't worry!" Our country has always been friendly with the Qin State, even if Chen Xiang has a three-inch tongue, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade Wu Kui to form an alliance with your country. ”

"Even if it's all against odds, you should give it a try." Chen Ziyou said calmly.

King Wei looked at Chen Ziyou hesitantly, and then clenched his fists, as if he had decided something: "Lone has one thing, and I hope Chen Xiangke can help, if it happens, the alliance will definitely be promoted!" ”

"Dare to ask King Wei, this matter is related to Wu Xiang."

King Wei glanced at Chen Ziyou in surprise: "Chen Xiang is right, I never thought that Wu Kui's ambition would be so revealed. ”

Chen Ziyou shook his head and said leisurely: "Wu Xiang has a very good reputation in the market, and the people are quite respected. However, since entering the dynasty, I have seen that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid of them like tigers, which shows that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and Wu Xiang has been in a high position to control the government for more than ten years. ”

King Wei nodded, and looked at Chen Ziyou's eyes with a little more appreciation: "Chen Xianggao has a high opinion, but he only knows one and doesn't know the other, if Wu Kui is dedicated to the country and the people, even if he controls the government and politics, he won't say much." But....... Did Chen Xiangke ever know about the death of the Wei kings of the past dynasties? ”

"I heard that the kings of Wei in the past dynasties, except for the first monarchs, died of natural old age, but the later monarchs died unfortunately, and the cause of death was bizarre."

"That's right, these two Wei kings are both Lone's eldest brothers, so what is the cause of death for Chen Xiang?"

Chen Ziyou lowered his eyes to show respect for the deceased, and then said slowly: "I heard that one person drank too much, and the other fell into the lake by mistake. ”

The indignation on King Wei's face became more and more obvious: "But what Chen Xiang doesn't know is that my two eldest brothers, the one who passed away first never drank alcohol, and the one who passed away later went to investigate, but found that all the palace maids and attendants who accompanied him that day had been expelled from the palace, and then I found that they had all died!" ”

Chen Ziyou raised his head in surprise and looked at King Wei.

"Lone was as surprised as Chen Xiang at first, but it wasn't until I found a letter in my second brother's dormitory that I understood the whole story!" King Wei took out a letter from under the bed.

Chen Ziyou took the letter and opened it, and was even more surprised in his heart.

It turned out that after the death of the eldest brother of the first monarch, who is now the king of Wei, the king of Wei who took over began to be suspicious, and privately sent people to investigate, and finally the clues all pointed to one person - Wu Kui. Just when the second King of Wei began to be wary of Wu Kui, he did not expect that the news of King Wei's fall from the lake came from the palace a few days later, but fortunately, the King of Wei kept an eye on the matter and recorded it in a letter, which was later discovered by the current King of Wei.

King Wei raised his head when he saw Chen Ziyou finish reading the letter, and said: "Chen Xiang understands now, if nothing else, my two brothers were killed by Wu Kui. However, since his accession to the throne, Gu has wanted to regain control of the government several times, but all the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are only Wu Kui's head, and Gu is helpless under many futile efforts. ”

Chen Ziyou nodded, from the situation in front of the hall just now, it can be seen that Wu Kui is indeed covering the sky with one hand in the court, and no one dares to disobey him.

"No wonder the King of Wei said that although the Wei ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were talented, there were no loyal people." Chen Ziyou sighed softly.

King Wei shook his head dejectedly: "Wu Kui has been in charge of the government for many years, and the power in the court is like an iron plate, which is difficult to shake at all, and it is almost impossible to disintegrate from the inside, only by relying on external forces can there be a chance, but the palace is Wu Kui's eyes and ears, and Lone's letters cannot be sent outside the palace at all, so how to use external forces." It wasn't until today that I heard that Chen Xiang had arrived, and there was hope for Lonely! ”

After saying that, King Wei actually left the bedside, walked in front of Chen Ziyou, and knelt down with a plop.

"King Wei can't, how can he afford such a big gift when he is terrified!" Chen Ziyou hurriedly wanted to help King Wei up.

King Wei was resolutely unmoved: "If Chen Xiang refuses to allow it, he will not be able to kneel alone!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Ziyou could only say helplessly: "King Wei, please get up, I will agree." ”

King Wei's face finally showed a hint of joy, and he got up and grabbed Chen Ziyou's hand and said, "In this way, it all depends on Chen Xiang." ”

Chen Ziyou didn't look happy, he just frowned and said, "But the temple is not the best at it. ”

King Wei shook his head and said: "It's okay, although Wu Kui is powerful, there are still one or two cronies in the court, and if you have any difficulties, you can discuss with them." ”

Chen Ziyou nodded, but instead looked at King Wei's pale face and said, "Even so, King Wei's body ......"

King Wei suddenly grinned and laughed: "Don't hide it from Chen Xiang, Lone's illness is fake." ”

"Fake?"

"Yes, in my early years, I met a stranger and passed me a home remedy that can weaken my body within three months, and the symptoms are like wind and cold, which is difficult for even the most clever doctor to see. Lone also took this opportunity to let Wu Kui dispel his doubts so that he could plan for the long term. King Wei smiled.

.......

Chen Ziyou, who walked out of the palace of King Wei, let out a long sigh, he originally came for the alliance, but he never thought that he would be involved in this power struggle in Wei, and he still wanted to help a Wei king who had no power.

But the matter has come to this point, since he has agreed to the request of the king of Wei, he can only do his best, Chen Ziyou looked at the palace of the king of Wei from a distance, since he withdrew, a group of palace maids immediately rushed in.

The King of Wei, who was under such close surveillance, might not be able to help him in the future, so he had to go to find the cronies and courtiers that the King of Wei had just mentioned.
