Wei State, Great Liang.

The ministers of the Wei State above the main hall were quiet and terrible, and after the news that Chen Ziyou, the Xiangguo of Zhongshan, was going to enter the palace to face the saint in the Great Liang Mansion, no one discussed the matter in the palace.

The name Chen Ziyou has spread very widely among the vassal states in recent days, breaking the 50,000 Qin army iron cavalry with 20,000 troops, and this news has made many vassal states who have been afraid of Qin all year round very excited for a while.

However, the ministers of the Wei State were still very hesitant to meet the Xiangguo of the Zhongshan Kingdom, although this man brought an incredible victory to the Zhongshan Kingdom, but it was not enough to make the ministers of the Wei State naively think that the Zhongshan State was really the opponent of the Qin State under the full force, you know, the most feared Bai Lang of the Qin State did not personally lead the army. And at the risk of offending the Qin State, it is really not a wise move to see the Xiangguo of the Zhongshan State at this juncture.

Wei has been friendly with Qin all the year round, and it is the least oppressed country by Qin among the five central countries, although it dates back to thirteen years ago, it was Qin who personally created the three Jin, but this resentment only exists among the people of Wei.

"Do you all think that I shouldn't summon Chen Ziyou?" A voice suddenly rang out above the quiet hall.

The ministers looked ahead, and the man who stood at the top of the ministers was speaking with an understatement.

"What Wu Xiang did must be reasonable, I don't dare to guess easily." A doctor hurriedly spoke, his eyes quite jealous of the man.

This middle-aged man standing at the top of Wenchen is Wu Kui, the minister of Wei who leans towards the government and the opposition, although his temples are white, but his eyes are introverted, which makes people unable to guess his thoughts.

Wu Kui didn't pay attention to the flattering words said by the doctor, and said leisurely: "What do you think, why did Chen Ziyou come here? ”

The ministers were stunned for a while, although they knew that Chen Ziyou must have come for another purpose, although they claimed that they had heard that the King of Wei was sick and came to visit, but no one believed such a prevaricating excuse, but they really couldn't think of what Chen Ziyou was going to do.

Wu Kui saw that the ministers were speechless, but he opened his mouth to ask a doctor who bowed his head and was silent: "What does Doctor Wu think?" ”

The doctor surnamed Wu trembled, raised his head and said respectfully: "I am stupid, I really don't know." ”

Wu Kui glanced at him deeply, and said slowly for a long time: "Chen Ziyou's trip is nothing more than to come for an alliance. ”

When all the doctors heard this, they suddenly realized, and they all bowed deeply to Wu Kui: "Wu Xiang is far-sighted, and we admire him." ”

"Tell Prime Minister Wu that Chen Ziyou is already outside the palace." An attendant walked into the main hall and knelt down.

"Xuan."

.......

Chen Ziyou slowly walked into the main hall, looked around the hall with a large number of Wei ministers above and below him, glanced at the empty throne again, and finally walked in front of a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, and saluted: "Under Chen Ziyou, I have seen Wu Xiang." ”

Wu Kui also returned the salute and said: "In Wu Kui, I have seen Chen Xiang." Chen Xiang's deeds of defeating the Qin army had been heard of a long time ago, and when I saw it today, I didn't expect that the person who could come up with such a plan would be so young. ”

The two are both in the same country, so they also meet each other with courtesy.

Chen Ziyou smiled lightly: "I have heard of Wu Xiang's prestige for a long time, and I only understood what it is to be famous today than to meet." ”

"Oh, but Wu doesn't know that he has a reputation."

"Wu Xiang is an important minister of the five dynasties, the minister of the four dynasties, and a very popular minister, how can it be said that he is not famous? Wu Xiang is too modest. ”

Wu Kui's praise of Chen Ziyou was unheard, and his face was slightly serious: "But I don't know why Chen Xiang is here?" ”

Chen Ziyou looked at the empty throne and said, "Uncle Zhongshan heard that the King of Wei was sick, so he ordered him to come down to visit. ”

Wu Kui frowned, but his face was gloomy: "King Wei is not sorry for the things of this half a month, although the two countries are close to each other, it stands to reason that the news should only reach Shoucheng soon, it seems that Chen Xiang has something in his heart and is unwilling to say it directly to Zaixia." ”

Chen Ziyou smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really that Uncle Zhongshan only has a letter written by himself, specifying that he wants the King of Wei to open it personally, but I really don't know the details." ”

"That's a pity, King Wei is seriously ill, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Chen Xiang. Recently, Zai Xia has acted as the agent of state affairs, and Chen Xiangda can hand over the letter to Zai Xia to forward it to the King of Wei. Wu Kui said coldly.

Hearing Wu Kui's words, Chen Ziyou had a secret feeling in his heart, since entering the palace, no one in the Manchu Dynasty Wei Chen spoke, and the conversation from beginning to end was only between him and Wu Kui, Wu Kui's majesty can be seen, but Wu Kui clearly refused his request to meet the King of Wei, how is this good?

It is absolutely impossible to hand over the letter to Wu Kui, and Chen Ziyou has been more certain that the mysterious deaths of many Wei kings in the past ten years must be strange since he entered the palace, and it is very likely to be related to this Wu Xiang.

The power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he is a very popular minister.

If these eight words stay in any person for a long time, it is difficult not to give birth to further thoughts.

Just when Chen Ziyou was at a loss, an attendant suddenly broke into the main hall and approached Wu Kui's ear and whispered a few words.

I saw that Wu Kui's face was even more gloomy, and then he glanced at Chen Ziyou deeply: "King Wei has a will, please invite Chen Xiang to gather in the palace." ”

Chen Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he could see King Wei with his own eyes, everything would be fine.

......

Chen Ziyou stood in front of the bed and looked at the figure lying on the bed through the plain white light veil.

Wu Kui glanced at Chen Ziyou and then at the person on the bed, and said softly: "Lord of the country, Chen Ziyou, the minister of Zhongshan, has arrived." ”

The person on the bed coughed lightly a few times, and then moved the head of the bed slightly, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly opened the light veil and walked into it, and helped up the King of Wei, who was half-lying in front of the bed, coughed a few times, and said weakly: "Chen Xiangming, I have heard of it for a long time, I don't know what this behavior is?" ”

Chen Ziyou frowned, the body of this King of Wei really seems to be as bad as the rumors, such a situation, coupled with Wu Kui's great power in the court, can he really be in charge? Maybe it's better to get in touch with Wu Kui?

"Zhongshan Xiangguo Chen Ziyou, see King Wei." Chen Ziyou saluted the person on the bed and then continued, "The minister's trip has a letter written by Uncle Zhongshan, and I hope that the king of Wei will open it himself." ”

The person on the bed waved his hand at the palace maid, the palace maid nodded, walked out, took the letter that Chen Ziyou took out, and handed it to King Wei at the bedside.

Through the light veil, King Wei slowly unsealed the envelope, took out the letter, and read it.

Chen Ziyou silently waited for King Wei's reply, but King Wei's next words made Chen Ziyou's face change.

"I see, the gentleman is here to borrow money. The lonely body is ill, and when he borrows 50,000 taels of silver, he will have to work for him. ”

Chen Ziyou can be 100,000 sure that Uncle Zhongshan's letter does not mention that he wants to borrow money, so what is the purpose of this King of Wei's lie?

After listening to the instructions of the King of Wei, Wu Kui replied respectfully: "Acting as the state minister, where the position of the minister is, I dare not speak lightly of hard work, the lord of the country has a golden body, and I still hope to have a good life and recuperate, so I don't have to worry about state affairs." ”

King Wei on the bed seemed to tremble slightly through the light veil, but he still nodded and said calmly: "Wu Xiang is polite." ”

After saying that he stopped talking, Chen Ziyou saw that King Wei no longer spoke and was too lazy to be bored, and was about to retreat with Wu Kui, but he never thought that King Wei would suddenly speak: "Although I have heard of Chen Xiang's deeds in the palace, it is difficult to see the whole picture, I don't know if Chen Xiang is willing to stay and chat with Gu?" ”

Chen Ziyou stopped and looked at Wu Kui, who had already retreated to the door, and Wu Kui seemed to look at him without caring and retreated.

Chen Ziyou returned to the bed and stood quietly, waiting for King Wei to ask questions.

"Stand down, too." King Wei also waved his hand to the palace maids and attendants in the palace.

Several palace maids hesitated for a while, and when they were hesitating, King Wei on the bed suddenly became angry: "Lone tells you to stand down!" Don't you understand! ”

Several palace maids hurriedly withdrew from the dormitory when they saw that King Wei was angry, and in an instant, only Chen Ziyou and King Wei were left in this dormitory.

At this moment, King Wei at the head of the bed actually stood up, and then a plain white hand slowly stretched out from the light veil in front of the bed to lift the light veil.

Chen Ziyou was puzzled as he watched the King of Wei, who should have been weak, show his face from the light veil, his pale cheeks could not hide his handsomeness, but his eyes projected all the essence of a person who should not be seriously ill.
