The next morning, King Yue's mood seemed to be extra heavy, Wei Ziheng, looking at it slightly, also felt a different smell in the air. When the topic turned to the invitation to the Famous Sword Conference delivered by the envoy of the Qi State, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

Maybe he should also leave, his senior brother and Chifeng have already begun to prepare to go to Qi State, and he may really have to follow.

When the king of Yue was not shou, he said: "Regarding this famous sword conference, I am going to send my parent-child Xiaoer to participate in this famous sword conference, as for the people who accompany me, I have decided to be accompanied by my side and assisted by Lord Wei wholeheartedly." ”

Wei Ziheng, his eyes trembled, his guess came true, he already knew that King Yue Bushou was about to leave, Wei Ziheng, standing sideways, looked at King Yue head-on, and said, "The minister is ordered!" ”

At this time, the prince Zhu Gou in the audience lowered his head and his eyes were red, and he was extremely unfair in his heart. This kind of opportunity to go to other countries, obviously it was his turn, but he didn't expect that this Yue Wang Bushou actually assigned his own parent-child Xiao'er, so prejudiced, Zhu Gou was angry. Am I not good enough to do this? I am in the council to handle political affairs, and I don't know how many blessings I have made for the people around me, so do I turn a blind eye to these achievements? What a Yue king, just because I am your step-son, do you treat it like this?

In addition, Lu Li is even more strange, they have obviously done a good job of propaganda and are ready to attack this Lord Wei above the court, but they didn't expect that under the order of King Yue Bushou, this Lord Wei was about to travel away. What is this operation? Could it be that this is already a negotiated matter? Or rather.........

Lu Li couldn't think of any other way to explain it for a while, he looked at Zhu Gou beside him, and couldn't help but sigh. King Yue is not long, and he still doesn't trust this prince. If it weren't for some relationship with the state system, maybe Zhu Gou would not have been established as the prince at all, but directly set up his parent-child Xiao'er. Although the royal succession system of the Yue Kingdom stated that a king must appoint a crown prince to power, the Yue king also had enough rights to replace this choice. After Xiao'er understands the major affairs of the country, I am afraid that the position of the prince will be transferred to Xiao'er, and Zhu Gou will probably be nothing at that time.

Wei Ziheng also seemed to see something, and at the end of the early dynasty, he met with King Yue alone: "King Yue." ”

Yue Wang Bushou also seemed to sigh: "Ziheng, thank you for helping me in the past month." I actually knew you had the idea of leaving, but you just found a reason to push the boat along the way. The courtiers will not have doubts. ”

Wei Ziheng bowed his head and thanked him: "Sure enough, the king of Yue understands me, and you should also know about my meeting with the people of Wu Meng yesterday. After talking to them, I did want to leave. But I really didn't expect King Yue to arrange it like this. Rest assured, Childe Xiaoer will definitely return safely. ”

It seems that Yue Wang Bushou also knows Wei Ziheng's heart, and said: "When I first heard the news, I actually thought of you for the first time, because I knew that you were going back to the Jin Kingdom, and it was also the only way to go north to the Qi Kingdom. I'll just leave it at that. ”

Wei Ziheng couldn't help but sigh: "Then thank you." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely return to Vietnam. Let's help you again. ”

King Yue waved his hand and seemed to regard Wei Ziheng as his brother, and said, "At first, I just thought that you might have some talent, but I didn't want you to be so good." I do feel a little regretful that such a person left my Yue Guo court. But think about it carefully, you haven't been home for ten years of study, and this time you went north to return to the Jin Kingdom, in terms of filial piety, I also agree. I hope you have a bright future and create brilliance again. ”

Wei Ziheng thanked him, but he was still a little worried in his heart: "Gongzi Xiaoer came to Langya, I'm afraid it will take some time, even if it is a fast horse, it will take ten days." In these days, I will take a good look at my mission as Lord Wei. ”

Yue Wang Bushou nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "I will also cherish the opportunity to live with you during this period of time, when you really leave, you will always exist in our official department as the honorary minister of our Yue Kingdom." If you re-enter the territory of our country, you will be treated as a minister of our country. If you encounter something unfavorable to you while walking in the Central Plains, you can directly reveal your identity, and hope that the status of the overlord of our country can help you. I have a piece of jade pendant for you here, which is the exclusive jade pendant of our royal family, and the princes and countries know it. Let's use it as a token! ”

For a while, Wei Ziheng was moved, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to take the jade pendant, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you King Yue for your love, I, Wei Ziheng, am grateful." In the rest of the time, I felt compelled to help King Yue solve a problem. ”

Yue Wang Bushou thought about it for a while, it seems that there are other major issues in the court, and there are already some shadows arranged by Wei Ziheng before: "I don't know if there are any other things that you are not worried about?" ”

Wei Ziheng said very seriously: "I think that the crown prince Zhu Gou is sinister, unpredictable, and often makes some conspiracies and tricks, and his ambitions are not small. King Yue should be careful. ”

When Zhu Gou was mentioned, a look of displeasure appeared on King Yue's face: "What else can he do?" No matter how great my power is, I will not be able to withstand my king's command. It was only a matter of time before he was abolished, he was too fierce to be a king, and if he was allowed to take the throne, I am afraid it would bring more wars. That's what I don't want to see. I want to cultivate Xiaoer well, and I hope that you can guide him in this overseas experience. ”

"Don't worry, I will." Wei Ziheng paused and said, "To be honest, in my recent observations, I found that the crown prince Zhu Gou entered Langya City this time, and it seems that he has ulterior motives. Huiji, who was originally in the extreme south, hurried to Langya City after the assassination incident, which seemed to have been expected, and trained the army in a region more south of Langya City more than a month in advance. After what happened, he entered the palace as if he were cleaning up the mess, which is inevitably a coincidence. ”

Wei Ziheng tried his best to name some facts, and King Yue Bushou also listened carefully: "You suspect the assassination, and the crown prince Zhu Gou may be involved." ”

Wei Ziheng was not very sure, but he still boldly expressed his conjecture: "I heard the old ministers in the court say that this prince Zhu Gou is not popular in the eyes of those old ministers. Those old ministers who didn't like Zhu Gou were all killed in the assassination without exception. And as far as I know, the crown prince Zhu Gou is not in Langya City, but in the old capital, it is because of the words of this group of old ministers, in this case, it is very easy to have a rebellious mentality, and King Yue must take precautions.

Moreover, he actively co-opted some ministers in the city, did things for himself, made his reputation prominent, and established the image of a wise prince in the eyes of the countrymen. All kinds of things are deliberate. Zhu Gou's ambition had to be guarded against. I suspect that he lured the wolf into the house, and under such a tight defense of the Yue Imperial Court, there would be a loophole? Letting so many assassins into the palace is definitely someone who has something to do. The people who have been investigating the Assassins these days have also directly shifted their direction to the people who are in charge. There are all kinds of signs that the prince is indeed suspicious. Although there is no direct evidence to show it, what he did was extremely abnormal, and if he was a normal person, he would never do this, presumably he was hiding some facts. Hides his ambitions. ”

Yue Wang Bushou, after hearing this, he was first surprised, and then thought carefully, he was still very puzzled and said, "It's unlikely." With him, he doesn't seem to have this city government yet, and it is also possible for some other ministers in the court to find a traitor, and Zhu Gou doesn't seem to be a person who can do these things. From what I know about him, he's just a clever guy. Maybe he can do some big things in some way, but overall I don't have a good impression of him. ”

After hearing this, Wei Ziheng also said cautiously: "In this case, you still have to be more careful." Zhu Gou, I don't think he's that simple, although it doesn't seem like it's a bad guy? But I'm sure he's not a good guy? I hope that King Yue will pay more attention to this prince in the future. Oh, by the way, are the envoys of the State of Chu gone? ”

Yue Wang Bushou replied: "Not yet, I expect to leave in two days." Don't know what's going on? ”

Wei Ziheng truthfully said some of the rumors he had heard: "In the past few days, I heard news from the envoys of the Chu State, as if they had received some flying pigeon messages from the King of Chu, saying that they were going to get married. I don't know if it's true, it seems that I want Princess Huayu by name. ”

Marriage! Princess Huayu!

Yue Wang Bushou, who was still in a sad mood, suddenly heard these two words, and suddenly felt a little energetic, he was a little surprised and said, "Want my sister?" What's going on? Anyway, which son is there in the Chu State? ”

"I don't know, it seems to be the son of Xiong Qi, the king of Chu. This matter is still to be discussed, and I am only hearsay, if this is true, there will be news in less than two days. Wei Ziheng said with concern.

Now Yue Wang Bushou couldn't sit still, her sister is only 16 years old this year, in the prime of jasper, but now she is named by the people of Chu to marry, this matter must be discussed carefully, a little hurried said: "It seems that at this time, I am afraid that it is very likely to be true, at this time to marry, what does Chu want to do?" Ziheng, tell me what you think. ”

Wei Ziheng thought for a while, sorted out the language and said: "From the perspective of a courtier, and in the general sense of the country, the marriage between the two countries promotes friendly relations, which is originally good. Moreover, in the books of the Yue Kingdom, there was a marriage between Chu and Yue. And in its current form, marriage should be the icing on the cake. Besides, Chu Guo actually proposed that if we refused, there would not be much reason.

If I were to consider this from the perspective of a monarch, it might be related to some family relationships. After all, I can see that the relationship between King Yue and Princess Huayu is very friendly, and the princess is spoiled as a sister.

Therefore, the decision on this matter is in the hands of King Yue, and at the same time, it depends on Princess Huayu's attitude, if she doesn't want this matter to be invalidated, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will personally explain it to the envoys of the Chu State. If you don't do this, as long as the Chu side doesn't stretch it too much, it won't actually have much impact. ”

Yue Wang Bushou admired Wei Ziheng very much at this time, he talked about his behavior very reasonably, spoke in an orderly manner, and it was very easy for him to understand and see through some of the essence of things. Seeing Wei Ziheng's remarks, I couldn't help but think that maybe he would leave in ten days, and then he might be sad again: "That's great, I'll ask Hua Yu when the time comes." See what she thinks? ”
