Chapter XXXVII. Minister Wu Kui, meet the King of Wei

Wu Kui's horse's hooves stepped over the eighty-one stairs outside the hall step by step, Wu Kui looked at the palace that was getting closer and closer without squinting, and his eyes finally showed blazing heat.

Ten years of planning, from being unknown to being under one person, and now more than 10,000 people are close at hand, Wu Kui's heart is turbulent.

Riding a horse to the upper hall, no matter what dynasty or any vassal state, is impossible to allow, but today's Wu Kui is just riding a horse and walking towards the palace step by step.

Zhang Zuohu and Xu Zheng followed behind Wu Kui's horse, not daring to take a step faster, for fear of crossing Wu Kui.

None of the soldiers standing guard outside the hall opened their mouths to stop Wu Kui, who was behaving disrespectfully, they were all just pawns in this troubled world, and the change of regime would not change their fate in the slightest.

The king of Wei in the hall sat on the throne, and the attendants who were still standing beside him had already slipped away, and only a few ministers of Wu Xu were standing.

King Wei stood straight against the door of the palace, waiting for the figure to appear.

The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the steps outside the hall gradually reached the ears of the King of Wei and several people, knocking on the hearts of several people.

But the few people led by Wu Xu were full of righteousness, straightened their backs, and never showed a trace of cowardice.

......

Chen Ziyou sat up in the room and looked at the empty room. The news of Wu Kui's rebellion against the palace has already spread throughout the palace, and the palace maids and guards who originally served have long disappeared without a trace, and the palace has long been in chaos, and the sound of smashing and looting can be heard all the time.

Estimating the time, Wu Kui should have arrived in front of the palace, Chen Ziyou smiled to himself, he didn't know what he was laughing at.

Laughing at the success of his plan, is Wu Kui already in the bag?

Chen Ziyou knew that this plan might not even be a plan, but it was just a gamble on his life.

Perhaps Wu Kui was fearless and had long since stopped caring about Chen Ziyou's surveillance, and Chen Ziyou was able to finally instruct King Wei and Wu Xu yesterday.

Chen Ziyou put on his shoes, got dressed, walked outside the door, and looked at the attendants who were scattering and fleeing.

"Fly separately when disaster comes!"

......

Qin-Wei border.

One hundred thousand Qin troops crossed the border between the two countries, and the leader of the army was a very young and little-known young general.

Since the emergence of the situation of decay, there has been a very peculiar phenomenon. The princes began to tend to promote a large number of young literati and generals, among whom Qin and Zhao were the most prominent. Bai Lang, the current victorious general of the Qin State in China, was reused at the age of a weak crown, and then the Wenchen Gan Mao was summoned into the palace by the King of Qin before he reached the crown. The most typical example of Zhao is Li Mu, who was entrusted with the important task of fighting against the Xiongnu in the north, who was only in his twenties, and the results of driving the Xiongnu for more than 1,000 miles, the courage to break the enemy with one arrow, and the courage of the Xiongnu camp to ride alone at night are enough to be called a generation of famous generals.

And today's 100,000 army commander Li Xin is also very young, although his reputation is not obvious outside, but he is also highly regarded within the Qin State, and his age is similar to Bai Lang, who had just risen back then. The most famous deed is that he once retraced the Battle of Changping with the generals in the barracks, put forward new insights into Bai Lang's strategy at that time, and said that if he followed his strategy, the Battle of Changping would not be the end of the final Qin State's tragic victory. At that time, the camp generals bullied him for his youth and ridiculed him for talking about soldiers on paper. But Bai Lang, who learned about it afterwards, nodded thoughtfully, and left a four-word comment on Li Xin, "The future is terrifying".

This rising general of the Qin State was entrusted with a heavy task for the first time, and the first time he led the army was an army of 100,000, which can really be described as full of ambition.

Li Xin rode on a horse and walked at the front of the team, as the chief general, he did not choose to sit in the Chinese army, but like a striker.

.......

Although Qin and Wei have not fought for a long time, the generals of the border pass have not relaxed for a moment, and almost at the same time as the 100,000 troops of Qin crossed the border line, there were soldiers from the outpost who came to report the news.

Five of the ten cities on the border of Wei border border with Qin State, and most of the guards in these five places had personally experienced the battle of Qin-Jin Caishan fourteen years ago, and had seen the tiger and wolf army of Qin with their own eyes.

The troops of the five cities on the border are 50,000, but after all, they are scattered, and the defenders of the five cities are secretly guessing which city the Qin army will target.

......

Beam.

Wu Kui walked to the front of the hall under the gaze of the King of Wei and several people.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Kui got off the horse, took a few steps closer, and then slowly bowed down.

King Wei frowned, not understanding what Wu Kui's intention was.

Wu Kui looked at King Wei, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then said loudly: "Minister Wu Kui, meet King Wei!" ”

Although the hundred officials behind him were puzzled, Wu Kui worshipped, and they also knelt down and bowed: "Meet King Wei." ”

King Wei looked coldly at Wu Kui and the hundred officials behind him, and said, "Who is under the steps?" ”

This knowingly asked question made everyone under the stairs stunned, but Wu Kui's face did not change, and he said respectfully: "Minister, Wu Kui of the Great Wei Xiangguo." ”

King Wei's face was gloomy, and he continued: "It turns out that Wu Xiangguo still knows his identity, in this case, what is Wu Xiangguo's intention to lead his troops to ride a horse to the palace today?" ”

Wu Kui raised his head, got up slowly, ignored King Wei's angry eyes, and said, "The minister came here to fulfill his duty as a courtier. ”

Wu Xu shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Since he is a Wei Chen, how dare he make such an arrogant move as riding a horse to the upper hall! ”

Wu Kui glanced at Wu Xu and continued: "The king has been bedridden for several months, and the imperial doctor is helpless. As the saying goes, the family can't be without an owner for a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day, and the ministers care about the king's illness and are willing to temporarily take the throne of the king of Wei. ”

King Wei looked at him angrily and said gloomily: "Wu Xiangguo has a heart, but his lonely body has healed, so he won't work for Wu Xiang." ”

Baiguan looked at King Wei on the throne, but his face was pale and pale as before, and he spoke with a full of energy, not at all like a seriously ill person.

Wu Kui was also stunned for a moment, and repeatedly glanced at King Wei's ruddy complexion. But he quickly came back to his senses, put away a slightly surprised look on his face, and continued: "Despite this, the people are willing, and the minister still has to ask the king to abdicate. ”

King Wei said quietly: "What is the desire of the people? You Wu Kui can represent the hearts of the people! ”

Wu Kui straightened his clothes and said with a solemn expression: "The king has lost the hearts of the people in the world for a long time, and since the king ascended the throne, he has ignored the government and politics, and the people of the Great Wei have suffered for a long time. Wu Kui is indeed here on behalf of the people today, hoping that the king can follow the example of the ancients, and Zen is a talented and virtuous person. ”

After saying this, Wu Kui bowed down again and said: "Please follow the example of the ancients, Zen is a virtuous person!" ”

The hundred officials behind him also followed: "Please follow the example of the ancients, Zen is a virtuous person!" ”

King Wei glared at Wu Kui angrily and said, "Where are the virtuous people!" ”

Wu Kui was silent, but Zhang Zuohu, who was beside him, said: "Wu Xiangguo has been governing the country for ten years, benevolent and loving the people, and the ministers have the courage to recommend Wu Xiangguo to take on this great responsibility." ”

Wu Xu was angry, glared at Zhang Zuohu and said, "Zhang Zuohu! You, an ungrateful person, a person who steals his life, as the commander of the Great Liang Forbidden Army, also want to rebel with Wu Kui! ”

Zhang Zuohu frowned, Wu Xu's words put him in an unkind and unjust situation, if Zhang Zuohu still had a trace of guilt in his heart before, it has disappeared at this moment.

Wu Xu looked around at the ministers in the palace, and said angrily: "Wu Kui has controlled the government for many years, plotted to kill the first king, and today he wants to force the palace to rebel. ”

Wu Kui and the hundred officials stopped talking, and bowed their heads to King Wei, as if waiting for an answer.
