The advent of New Year's Day also represents the alternation of autumn and winter, and for the people of this land, the working time of the year can finally come to an end.

In the next three months, most of the working people only need to beat their children at home, and then do something with their wives that is beneficial to their bodies and minds, enhance their relationship, and by the way, increase their offspring, and then wait for the spring ploughing season of the coming year.

Of course, before that, New Year's Day will naturally be celebrated.

In view of the fact that there are not many festivals in this year, the New Year's Day is a very grand festival for the entire land of China, especially for the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Wei State is of course no exception.

After successfully negotiating peace with Zhao, the Zhao army withdrew from Taoyi, the capital of Wei, and Wei Wangyu moved back to Taoyi.

It is precisely because of this that this year's celebration of New Year's Day is still held in the Taoyi Palace.

It was getting late, and the time for the dinner was approaching, Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei, walked out of his mansion, boarded the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and headed towards the palace.

Along the way, you can see that many carriages and Duan Ganzi are heading towards the palace, and it is obvious that they are all going to the banquet.

When Duan Ganzi arrived at the palace gate, he saw that the carriages were densely parked in front of the palace gate, and since it was not yet time to open the palace gate at this moment, many Wei ministers were still chatting in groups in front of the square.

When Duan Ganzi stepped down from the carriage, the entire square seemed to become quiet in an instant, and many people's eyes were on Duan Ganzi, with a somewhat strange light in their eyes.

What is surprising is that Duan Ganzi is obviously the prime minister of the Wei State, and it stands to reason that he should be the existence of the stars holding the moon, but at this moment, even no one came up to talk to Duan Ganzi.

This is undoubtedly a very strange thing for a Xiangbang.

But Duan Ganzi knew very well why this was in his heart, and the reason was very simple, because everyone knew that Duan Ganzi was no longer favored.

Yes, Wei Wangyu has expressed his dissatisfaction with Duan Ganzi very obviously and repeatedly during this period of time, and even reprimanded Duan Ganzi in public many times when he held meetings, scolding Duan Ganzi to the point of blood, and did not give Duan Ganzi any face at all.

Although Duan Ganzi is still helping each other now, everyone feels that Duan Ganzi's position as Xiangbang may not be long in coming.

Since it has been sitting for a long time, then naturally no one will pay attention to Duan Ganzi anymore, and even wish to stay away from Duan Ganzi, lest he be implicated when Duan Ganzi is unlucky one day.

In fact, the reason why Duan Ganzi was able to hold out for so many months without being ousted is already a miracle in the eyes of many Wei ministers.

But even so, many Wei ministers privately felt that Duan Ganzi, the prime minister, might not be able to pass this year.

Fortunately, there were still a few Duan Ganzi's irons who came to Duan Ganzi's side, which made Duan Ganzi's heart feel a little warm.

"Duan Qing doesn't have to pay attention to those shameless villains, they are all a group of flattering guys, one day they will understand the mistakes they made today!" A Duan Ganzi's die-hard henchman said indignantly.

Duan Ganzi shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, the palace gate has been opened, let's all go in." ”

Speaking of which, Duan Ganzi's heart is actually under a lot of pressure, and this pressure is not only from Wei Wangyu, but also from Zhao Guo.

You must know that according to the plan discussed by Zhao Guo and Duan Ganzi at the beginning, Duan Ganzi should find a way to poison Wei Wangyu after returning to Taoyi after returning from the alliance.

But the problem is that Duan Ganzi has been slow to make up his mind about this plan.

This is the crime of killing the king!

Although this method seems very thorough in all respects, who knows if it will be leaked in the future?

Once this matter is leaked, then Duan Ganzi's reputation will be completely ruined.

It was precisely because of this hesitation that Duan Ganzi did not make a move on Wei Wangyu for a long time.

And Duan Ganzi still retains a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, he hopes that Wei Wangyu can change his mind.

In this way, Duan Ganzi, as the prime minister of Wei, naturally has no reason to cooperate with the people of Zhao again.

But Duan Ganzi also knew very well in his heart that if he waited until Wei Wangyu removed his position as Xiangbang before using this strategy, I am afraid it would be a little too late.

All in all, during this period of time, Duan Ganzi has been spent in the midst of gains and losses.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Ganzi, who appeared outside the palace gate at this moment, looked very haggard and couldn't lift his spirits, but in the eyes of others, this was just because he was worried about the removal of his official position and was overly worried, but no one noticed anything unusual.

After a while, with a few bells, the gate of Taoyi Palace City finally opened, and many Wei ministers walked into the palace gate one after another, heading towards the main hall of Taoyi Palace City where the banquet was held.

As soon as he walked into the palace, Duan Ganzi subconsciously touched his cuffs.

There was a small bottle in Duan Ganzi's sleeve, and this small bottle was the poison that the mysterious Hu Yiwei gave to Duan Ganzi to poison Wei Wangyu.

Duan Ganzi knew very well in his heart that even if he really wanted to poison Wei Wangyu, a day like New Year's Day was actually not a very good time to act.

But for some reason, Duan Ganzi still brought this bottle of poison to himself, concealed the search of the palace guards, and brought it into the palace of Wei.

Half an hour later, the New Year's Day dinner was finally held in the main hall of the Wei Kingdom.

As a Xiangbang, Duan Ganzi naturally sat in the first place on his right hand, that is, the position closest to the upper throne Wei Wangyu.

According to the usual practice, Wei Wangyu naturally wanted to give a speech for this New Year's Day party.

Generally speaking, such a speech is nothing more than some auspicious nonsense and clichés, and by the way, I encourage the ministers to work harder in the coming year, and work for the widow and the like, there is really not much new to say.

But to the great surprise of all the Wei ministers present, this time Wang Yu's speech did not follow the routine at all.

In Wei Wangyu's speech, he looked forward to this war against Chu, and said that Wei had indeed made a lot of progress in the war against Chu, and the soldiers on the front line had fought bravely to kill the enemy, and they had worked hard.

If it was normal to talk so far, but then Wei Wangyu's words made everyone start to feel sweaty and shuddering.

"The widow knows very well that there is such a kind of minister in this country, they don't know how to complete the task entrusted to them by the widow, they only know flattery every day, and in addition to this, they will only surrender to powerful enemies such as Qin and Zhao, and will only instigate the widow to cede land and pay reparations every day, and humiliate and sue for peace!"

"But thou sayest, 'What is the use of a widow coming to a courtier like this?' How long will the widow endure this mediocrity? Should the widow expel such a courtier from the Wei State and never hire him? ”

As soon as Wei Wangyu's words came out, the entire Wei State Hall was suddenly silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Duan Ganzi, because everyone knew very well that what Wei Wangyu was talking about this time was none other than Duan Ganzi himself.

And Duan Ganzi's face also turned completely pale, although he had already made some psychological preparations for the fact that Wei Wangyu might attack him, but Duan Ganzi never expected that Wei Wangyu would be so disrespectful of the system, and chose such an inappropriate time, at the New Year's Day party, which should have been a dinner party with the theme of harvest joy and happiness, to open fire on himself.

This is not intended to leave even the slightest face for Duan Ganzi!

Duan Ganzi clearly felt the surprise or ridicule, pity or disdain that everyone cast on him, and the whole person was blindfolded, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Duan Ganzi has actually never understood one thing, that is, it is not without this kind of unsatisfactory results in peace talks before, but why did Wei Wangyu have to chase after him so desperately this time, putting Duan Ganzi in the place of disrepute?

Wei Wangyu obviously didn't seem to have any intention of letting Duan Ganzi go, and after saying this, Wei Wangyu's eyes fell on Duan Ganzi's body and said to Duan Ganzi. "Duan Qingru said, is this the truth?"

Duan Ganzi was sweating profusely, laughed twice in embarrassment, and said: "The king's words are extremely reasonable, and the ministers and ministers naturally agree with it. ”

Wei Wang Yu laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Since this is the case, then Duan Qing should agree that the widow can remove this courtier who will not be able to do his duty at all?" ”

Duan Ganzi's forehead sweated even more, and he smiled very reluctantly: "The king is the lord of the Wei State, and the king's decision is the supreme edict of the Wei State, Duan Ganzi is just the king's minister, how dare he be ugly in front of the king?" ”

Wei Wangyu laughed loudly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said mockingly to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing, why don't you come up quickly and pour wine for the widow?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the ministers of Wei who were present were in an uproar.

You must know that work like pouring wine is naturally done by the servants, but now Wei Wangyu actually designated Duan Ganzi to pour wine, doesn't this mean that Duan Ganzi and the servants are completely regarded as a level in Wei Wangyu's heart?

Humiliation, this is pure humiliation.

Duan Ganzi's face turned pale, he never thought that Wei Wangyu would humiliate himself with such a series of means at such a moment, it seemed that he was completely determined to beat himself into the dust, and he would never be able to live forever.

Under everyone's gaze, Duan Ganzi finally stood up tremblingly, walked in front of Wei Wangyu, and began to pour wine.

Perhaps because of the agitated mood, Duan Ganzi's movements were very trembling when he poured the wine.

Finally poured the wine in the hand of Wei Wangyu full of wine, Duan Ganzi said: "King, please drink." ”

Several Duan Ganzi diehards couldn't even bear to look at this scene, and turned their heads one after another.

Wei Wangyu laughed, his whole face was a little abnormally red, and he looked very happy and excited.

Then the monarch of Wei stood up, raised the wine lord in his hand and said loudly to the ministers of Wei in front of him: "Princes, for the sake of the future prosperity of Wei, let's drink this lord together!" ”

As soon as Wei Wangyu spoke, all the ministers of Wei immediately stood up one after another and drank all the wine in Juezhong.

After drinking the wine, Wei Wangyu sat down again, glanced at Duan Ganzi who was standing there at a loss, and said with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze? Keep pouring wine! ”

Duan Ganzi stretched out his hand helplessly, and was about to start pouring wine again, when suddenly his hand tightened, and he was grabbed by Wei Wangyu's hand.

Duan Ganzi was taken aback by this sudden action, and subconsciously raised his head, just in time to meet Wei Wangyu's wide-eyed eyes and angry gaze in disbelief.

"Wine, this wine is poisonous!"

Wei Wangyu suddenly jumped up with a roar, and his hands directly pinched Duan Ganzi's neck.

However, only halfway through the jump, Wei Wangyu's body suddenly lost its strength, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.

Duan Ganzi clearly saw that when Wei Wangyu landed, his face was already haunted by black gas, his eyes turned white instantly, and the whole person was straight and motionless.

Duan Ganzi's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't believe all this in front of him.

I didn't poison the wine at all!
