Chapter 30 The Empress Dowager Wei dies
Because Wei Si was too late to check the documents last night, and he was arguing with Qin Xiang Zhang Yi just now, he was naturally sleepy, and after returning to his dormitory, he fell asleep on the couch.
But he didn't sleep for long, and when he was doing himself as the lord of the world and about to ascend the throne like Qin Shi Huang, he was woken up by Zhang Xiao.
Wei Si rubbed his eyes and asked Zhang Xiao angrily:
"What's the matter with the big nose? Can't you let the widow rest for a while? ”
Zhang Xiao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said:
"Gongsun Xiangguo, Doctor Chen Zhen and Doctor Su Dai are all waiting outside to see the king, what about you?"
Wei Si had to sigh, immediately did it, and said to Zhang Xiao:
"Go and invite them in!"
After a while, the three of them followed Zhang Xiao into Wei Si's bed.
Gongsun Yan first said:
"King, we are here for Zhang Yi's business this time!"
Wei Si nodded:
"I see, what do you think!"
Gongsun Yan said:
"The three of us discussed it just now, although we don't like that Zhang Yi, but for the sake of the strength of the Wei State, we feel that we should still agree to the Qin State this time, and it is the best policy to befriend it, after all, the king, you are now in the critical period of the reform of the Wei State, and it is really not appropriate for us to meet with the Qin army at this time."
Wei Si looked at Chen Zhen and Su Dai again:
"You and Gongsun Xiangguo think the same thing?"
Both nodded.
Wei Si also understood in his heart at this time that Qin's friendship with Wei this time was just a delaying tactic, and its goal was to break down the alliance of the United States, but this United States was a joke, and it was no longer necessary to exist or not, it was all a matter of interest, except for Korea, which was deeply harmed by Qin, it would be unreliable to have the same heart as himself.
And he also understands the principle that the outside must first be at home, and when he implements the domestic innovation, will the re-powerful Wei State still be afraid of any surrounding countries?
Thinking of this, Wei Si also agreed with the three people's ideas, so he said:
"I hope that the princes will be able to work together with this king in the future to strengthen our Wei country, and achieve the wish of the widowed Great Wei to dominate the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid hurriedly ran in, and Wei Si asked:
"What are you doing here?"
The palace maid replied:
"King, the old queen mother's illness is getting worse and worse, so the queen asked me to inform the king!"
Wei Si was taken aback, is this old queen mother really no longer good? How is this good, so he immediately asked Chen Zhen on the side:
"Doctor Chen, has the Bian Que Divine Doctor you helped the widow find arrived in Daliang?"
Chen Zhen replied:
"A few days ago, when I received a reply from Bian Que's divine doctor, it had already arrived at the Taodi of Songdi, saying that it had just finished treating the descendants of Tao Zhugong over there, and if there was no delay on the road, it should be there in a few days."
Wei Si was very pleased and said a few words:
"Good...... Good...... Good! ”
Then he asked the maid who came to report the news:
"You tell the widow the truth, can the old queen mother's body still stand up for the past few days?"
The palace maid replied a little timidly:
"This ...... This...... According to the imperial physician in the palace, the old queen mother may not last three days! ”
Wei Si was shocked, he didn't expect the old queen mother to be so sick, and if the old queen mother left at this time, who could help him suppress those clan nobles headed by Dr. Chen who had temporarily stopped?
Thinking of this, Wei Si hurriedly said goodbye to Gongsun Yan and the others, and followed the palace maid to the palace of the old queen mother.
At this time, the old queen mother's face looked even paler than before, and she seemed to have no strength to move, so she leaned up with the help of the three ladies of Wei Ji and Wei Si.
Wei Si walked to the old lady's bed and shook the old lady's hand:
"Mother, you ...... How did your body become like this? ”
The old queen mother replied:
"When people are old, they will leave after all, just like your father, I dreamed last night that your father came to pick up your mother!"
Wei Si hurriedly comforted the old lady:
"Queen Mother, don't say that you have a good rest like this, just take care of your body, I have ordered someone to invite Mr. Bian Que, the most famous doctor in the world, to treat you, Mr. Bian Que should be here soon, Queen Mother, you must hold on!"
The old queen mother suddenly smiled bitterly:
"How can there be so many miracle doctors in this world, if the miracle doctor can really bring the dead back to life, then how can there be a saying of birth, old age, sickness and death, your mother only hopes that you can lead the Wei Kingdom to the road of rejuvenation in the future, but I don't think I can see your mother!"
Standing beside the old lady's bed, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Wei Ji also looked at Wei Si at this time and said:
"King, you are so sad, the queen mother is still alive!"
Wei Si naturally didn't want to pay attention to Wei Ji, who had cuckolded him, after all, Wei Si had never said a word to Wei since Wei Ji returned to Wei.
At this time, Wei Si suddenly said to Wei Ji:
"Take good care of the queen mother, I believe that after Bian Que's divine doctor arrives, he will always be able to cure the queen mother's illness in the Wei Palace."
Two days later, the divine doctor Bian Que also arrived in the Wei Palace as scheduled, and after checking the pulse of the old queen mother, Bian Que told Wei Hei an unfortunate news:
"King, your queen mother is now out of medicine, let's prepare for his old man's funeral earlier!"
Wei Si was naturally a little unacceptable, so he asked Bian Que:
"Can't you, as a divine doctor, save my mother?"
Bian Que replied:
"If I Bian Que came a month in advance, maybe I could save the Queen Mother and her old man, but now I can't do anything about the old man, but I can help the old lady drag on for about ten days!"
Wei Si had to helplessly thank Mr. Bian Que, and then left him in the Wei Palace to extend the life of the Queen Mother for a few more days, after all, Bian Que was nearly ninety years old at this time, but the Queen Mother was also over seventy.
Wei Si also took advantage of the fact that the old queen mother was still alive in the past few days, first summoned his uncle Yan to the old queen mother, and directly arrested him with the order of the old queen mother, and then summoned Li Qi, Zhai Zhang, Wei Shuang and some more neutral clans to the dying old queen mother, and asked the old queen mother to state to him the current situation of Wei and his determination to change the king of Wei.
After listening to the words of the old queen mother, these people naturally decided to support King Wei's change.
As a result, the old empress dowager also helped Wei Si stabilize the country of Wei at the last moment of critical illness, so after the death of the old empress dowager, within ten days, Wei Si put Dr. Chen in prison in the name of accepting bribes, and the rest of the stubborn clan relatives were all relegated to the old capital of Anyi.
And after Wei Si won the support of everyone in Wei State, when he wanted to show his strength, there was also news that the Qin army had even taken down the Zhongdu of Zhao and Xiyang, and at this time, there was a dispute in the court of Wei State, and it was naturally a matter of whether to rescue Zhao State.
I only heard Xiangguo Gongsun Yan say:
"Qin is now the Zhao State that has crossed our Wei State to attack, and now although the Qin army is aggressive, I expect that it will definitely not attack the Zhao State again!"
Zhai Zhang also said:
"Gongsun Xiangguo, you are underestimating the Qin army too much, in case the Qin army goes north to capture the land of Zhao State and Jinyang to get the county, then the entire east and even west of our Wei State will be surrounded by the Qin army on three sides!"
Sudai said:
"But now that the princess of Qin is already on her way to our Daliang, and we have just signed an alliance with Qin, if we are so capricious now, I am afraid it will be inappropriate, right?"
Li Qi also came out and spoke:
"Last time we signed an alliance with Qin State in private, we were already sorry for Zhao and Han, and now we should save Zhao!"
Wei Si set his eyes on Chen Zhen, who had not spoken:
"I don't know what your opinion is, Dr. Chen?"
Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment and said:
"I just heard what the generals and doctors meant, in fact, you all want to save Zhao, but we also have to have conditions to save Zhao, at least Zhao has to return the land that we ceded to Wei Guanze last time, right? Are you right? ”
Gongsun Yan nodded:
"Doctor Chen is right, but Zhao Jun's current distress letter only mentions that if we Wei and South Korea help save Zhao together, Zhao is willing to give up defending the country, and there will be no more defense in the future, this condition is just too stingy!"
Chen Zhen said:
"In my opinion, it's better to do this, let's give Zhao State back a letter of state now, let's just say that we are now allies with Qin, Zhao Jun, you let us help you attack the allies like this, our Wei State can't accept it, if Zhao Jun is willing to take advantage of defending the country, in addition to the last battle of Guanze, our Wei State ceded your land and your Zhao State Zhongmu land, our Wei State can promise to break the Wei-Qin alliance and send troops to rescue your Zhao State."
Wei Si nodded with satisfaction when he heard Chen Zhen's opinion, and then asked the ministers:
"What do you think of Dr. Chen's opinion?"
Seeing that everyone else acquiesced, Wei Si asked Chen Zhen to write a letter of sealing for himself and sent it to Handan, Zhao State.
But before Zhao Jun's reply, he received that the Qin army had besieged Jinyang for a few days, and he took the initiative to withdraw after not taking it.
At this time, the princess of Qin finally came all the way from Qin to Daliang City to marry Wei.
