76 King of Wei Anbei
Wei Wuji and Gongsun Yan both knelt on the ground to receive the order.
I was horrified.
As the grandson of the old minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, he has made countless meritorious contributions, and he has never received such a reward.
And Wei Wuji just arrived in Wei, and he didn't even see the face of the king of Wei, so he was crowned king. He was also rewarded with mansions, money, jewels, etc. Although Gongsun Yan didn't care about this, it was uncomfortable to listen to.
Of course...
Thinking that Wei Wuji was the son of King Wei Zhao and the future prince of Wei, he was also relieved.
"Childe, please take the order." After the father-in-law finished reading, he handed over the holy decree.
"The son of the minister took the order. Shane. ”
Wei Wuji took the holy decree and slowly stood up.
Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Gongzi, you have been reused by King Wei, and your future future is unlimited." ”
"Has the General seen the Divine Decree?" Wei Wuji asked suddenly.
"What does Childe mean?"
"Help me see if this decree is false?" It's not that Wei Wuji is suspicious, it's really contrary to common sense. He had been away from Wei for three years and had just returned, and he hadn't even seen the face of the King of Wei. How can you be crowned king?
It's child's play...
Even if King Wei likes it again, he should see Wei Wuji first, and then reward him.
This is the most basic procedure.
"Childe laughed, how could the holy decree be fake?" Gongsun Yan smiled.
"Show me." Wei Wuji handed him the holy decree.
The father-in-law in front of him frowned, and said with a smile: "Son, the emperor is still changing clothes, and he can't come for the time being." Please wait in the side room. ”
"What's the hurry? Wait for General Gongsun to check the holy decree, and then it's not too late to go. Wei Wuji ignored him.
"It's true."
Gongsun Yan nodded. He checked the handwriting on the silk silk, which was written by the personal father-in-law of the King of Wei. It is covered with a jade seal, which is also unique to the King of Wei.
As long as these two items are in accordance with these two items, the divine decree is true.
"Childe, please..." Under the guidance of the father-in-law, I went to a side room.
Tea is served.
There are also a variety of snacks on the table.
Gongsun Yan was a little hungry, picked up a piece of pastry, and sent it to his mouth. Wei Wuji is the same. However, he picked up the pastry and was about to put it in his mouth when the system magic mirror appeared.
From the magic mirror, you can see it.
After eating the pastry, Wei Wuji and Gongsun Yan were both poisoned to death by bleeding from the seven orifices.
"Poisonous! Don't eat.... Wei Wuji was shocked and quickly knocked out the pastry in Gongsun Yan's hand.
Burst!
Gongsun Yan had already eaten the pastry in his mouth, and it felt extremely spicy. Hearing Wei Wuji's scream, he immediately spit out the pastry and picked up the tea on the table, wanting to rinse his mouth.
Tea in your mouth, like a fire.
Gongsun Yan vomited it all, and the corners of his mouth were bubbling, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
"Big... Daring! Who... Who dares to poison the old man! Gongsun Yan was furious, sticking out his tongue and speaking slurredly.
Usually, he calls himself an old minister and a general, but now he calls himself an old man.
Still shouting.
It's not like his humble style.
It can be seen that the anger has reached the extreme.
"Sonorous, sonorous..." From behind the screen not far away, there was the roar of a sword unsheathed. Then, more than a dozen men in black rushed out, and without saying a word, they attacked Wei Wuji.
Bell...
Wei Wuji pulled out a dagger and fought the man in black.
Gongsun Yan had no weapons and retreated to the side, looking for a weapon to take advantage of.
The men in black are all masters of swordsmanship, and they are the best at assassination, and they are by no means something that ordinary people can resist. Even if he is a battle-hardened general like Gongsun Yan, he will be caught if he is not caught off guard.
Fortunately, the man in black only dealt with Wei Wuji.
did not attack Gongsun Yan.
And to kill Wei Wuji, it is not something that can be done simply. I saw a sharp sword stabbing Wei Wuji's chest and back, and there was a metallic crashing sound, but it was difficult to advance a bit.
"Childe..." Gongsun Yan thought that Wei Wuji was going to hang up, and screamed.
"Are you wearing soft armor?"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the desk next to him, and smashed it towards the man in black: "Son, go away!" ”
Rumble!
The table slammed into the man in black.
Although it didn't hurt them, it allowed Wei Wuji to slip away.
"General be careful." Wei Wuji couldn't care about Gongsun Yan anymore, and it was important for him to flee for his life.
When he ran out of the side room.
Look back.
saw the man in black, he didn't embarrass Gongsun Yan, and quickly chased him out.
"Groove!"
Wei Wuji pulled his legs and ran.
The man in black chased him to the square outside and was confronted by the patrolling Guards.
"There are assassins!" Gongsun Yan came out and shouted.
The Imperial Guards are tasked with guarding the Imperial Palace, and the two most sensitive words are 'Assassins'. When they saw the men in black, they all raised their spears and came over to meet them.
Gongsun Yan shouted: "Quickly take them all down, and don't let any of them go!" ”
He took the spear from the hand of a Royal Guards soldier and took part in the battle himself.
But.
This group of men in black is all well-trained.
They failed in their mission, ran if they could, committed suicide if they couldn't, and had absolutely no way to live.
Gongsun Yan led the Imperial Forest Army to fight, only killing a man in black and catching an injured one. But before he could tie up, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. The rest of the men in black all jumped over the wall and fled.
...........
Wei Wuji left the palace and went to the barracks.
When he entered here, he was completely relieved.
In the tent.
Sitting were Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, Nie Zheng, and Mu Guiying, all of whom were waiting anxiously.
Wei Wuji walked in, leaving the holy decree still on the table.
Drank two glasses of water in one go.
Mu Guiying picked up the holy decree, and after taking a look, he said with a happy expression: "Wuji has been crowned king, and he is still a king with real power." It has jurisdiction over seven fortified cities. ”
"What?"
Everyone gathered around.
"Hahaha..." Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord for being crowned king!" ”
"Congratulations, my lord..."
All the generals are in charge.
"Don't rejoice too soon. It is very likely that this decree is false. "Wei Wuji had already believed that the Divine Decree was true. However, while in the side hall, he was poisoned and assassinated by the Assassins.
The truth of the decree has become intriguing again.
The opponent is not trying to... Through the holy decree, let him let down his vigilance, and unknowingly, drink poisoned tea. Or was he assassinated by an assassin in the absence of any vigilance?
These are all possible.
"Is the decree still false?" Xiang Yu smiled: "Probably not, right?" ”
"This is Gonggong Lin's handwriting, and the jade seal is also real." Nie Zheng on the side said.
"Handwriting can be imitated, jade seal... and will not stay by the emperor's side all the time, there are always some powerful people who use jade seals when the emperor is lax. Wei Wuji seemed to be pointing.
"Is Wuji suspicious of King Wei Anli? Why did he risk being beheaded and rewarded Mowgli? This doesn't make sense. Mu Guiying said.
Wei Wuji explained what had just happened to Mu Guiying.
And emphasized.
It was the father-in-law who sent them to the side hall and was assassinated.
So.
Anything related to the father-in-law of the proclamation may be false, including the holy decree in front of you.
Mu Guiying asked anxiously: "Wuji, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine. Fortunately, I wore soft armor. Wei Wuji patted his chest.
"That's good."
"Ugh...." Xiang Yu sat down and said, "It's really a joy for nothing." ”
Nie Zheng arched his hand and said: "Son, this matter is very serious, and it should be explained to King Wei." If there is evidence, it is a crime to kill the head if there is a false proclamation of the holy decree. No matter how high his position, how powerful he is, and how noble his status is, he will inevitably be held accountable. ”
"Hmm."
Wei Wuji rolled up the holy decree and put it in his arms: "As long as I can see the emperor, I will definitely show it." ”
...........
Gongsun Yan did not catch the assassin and went to the main hall to ask to see King Wei Zhao.
The matter of the side temple.
King Wei Zhao already knew everything.
He had already sent someone to summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss the matter.
"Just an hour ago, my jade seal was stolen. The handwriting of the decree was also imitated. He even falsely proclaimed the holy decree and rewarded him.... ”
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was recruited to the court.
King Wei Zhao looked sick, but his expression was not angry and arrogant.
He sat on the dragon chair and fired a lot of fire.
Gongsun Yan said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Gonggong Liu, who falsely passed on the holy decree, has been arrested. However, he had taken poisoned wine in advance and was already dead. He deceived his ministers and sons into going to the side hall of the imperial study, first sent poisoned wine, and then sent assassins to assassinate them, although they did not succeed, but their intentions were sinister and extremely vicious. I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and to find out the truth. ”
"Hmm."
King Wei Zhao said: "This matter will be handed over to you to handle and find out as soon as possible." Regardless of the level of officials involved, once the evidence is confirmed, they will be arrested immediately and will not be tolerated. ”
"Obey."
Gongsun Yan should go down.
This matter not only involves Wei Wuji, but also him.
He almost drank poisoned tea and lost his life.
If he didn't find out clearly and know the truth, he would not be reconciled.
"I heard before that the general of the Qin State, Bai Qi, led his troops to Daliang City, how is the battle situation now?" Until now, King Wei Zhao did not know about the battle outside the city.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only a very few people knew about it.
Gongsun Yan held his head high and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the long halberd iron horse brought by Bai Qi has been defeated by Gongzi Wuji. Now he fled to the state of Qin, and there were less than a thousand horsemen left. ”
"What?!"
The Manchu civil and military forces were shocked.
The iron cavalry of the long halberd that has won a hundred battles has never been defeated. This time I came to Daliang City quietly, and I didn't even let out a fart, so I was beaten back, and I suffered heavy losses?
Wei Wuji!
This name was engraved in the hearts of the ministers at once.
King Wei Zhao's expression was excited, and his voice trembled: "General Gongsun, what you just said... It's true? ”
"I don't dare to lie."
Gongsun Yan briefly explained the process of the battle, and then said: "Gongzi Wuji's troops are really the elite of the elite, and they are not weaker than the halberd iron cavalry. The generals who followed Gongzi Wuji were also heroes of the world and famous generals of the Chu State. With them joining the Wei State, the strength of our army will be greatly strengthened. ”
"Good... is worthy of being my son of Wei. King Wei Zhao did not hesitate to praise him, then looked at it and asked, "What about Wuji?" Why didn't Mowgli come? ”
"Your Majesty, Gongzi Wuji was assassinated and has returned to the barracks." Gongsun Yandao.
"Bring him quickly, and I will reward him with a great reward."
"Yes."
Gongsun Yan sent someone to pass on the message of King Wei Zhao.
Thinking that he would be able to see his long-lost son soon, and that he was still so promising, King Wei Zhao's eyes were a little moist.
Wei Wuji stayed in the barracks.
Soon received an order.
In order to avoid being poisoned and assassinated again, Wei Wuji took Li Yuanba, carrying a drum and a golden hammer, to the main hall of the court.
"Yuanba, wait a minute, you look at my eyes. As long as I wink at you, you will strike at King Wei Anli. But your hammer can't really be smashed, it's just on top of his head. Even if I give you an order to take it back, you can't take it. Unless the emperor arrests King Wei Anli and tries the case in the border city. Walking on the road, Wei Wuji admonished.
"Yes."
Li Yuanba was quite interested.
The corners of his mouth have risen unconsciously.
The two of them hurried into the palace.
Walk into the main hall.
Wei Wuji glanced up at King Wei Zhao who was sitting on the dragon chair, knelt down three times and bowed nine times, and bowed: "Son-in-law Wei Wuji, meet your father, may your father live long live, long live, long live." ”
"Mowgli, hurry up." King Wei Zhao walked down the jade steps excitedly, wanting to help Wei Wuji up with his own hands, but because his health was too poor, he almost fell.
"Father, be careful." Wei Wuji stepped forward to support King Wei Zhao.
"Mowgli....
In front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, King Wei Zhao was a little out of shape and sobbed a few times.
"Father, aren't your sons back? I'll never leave in the future, just stay by my father's side, okay? Wei Wuji smiled.
"Okay." King Wei Zhao took Wei Wuji's hand and said to the ministers around him, "This is the prince who has been separated for three years, Wei Wuji. From now on, he participated in state politics like other princes. ”
"Meet the Second Prince..." The ministers saluted.
In the Wei State, Wei Wuji could only rank second.
The boss is King Wei Anli.
"Ministers, don't be polite. Wuji has just returned to the court, and he still doesn't understand many things, and I hope that all the seniors and ministers will give me a lot of advice, and Wuji is grateful. ”
Wei Wuji looked respectful and humble, and was deeply loved by King Wei Zhao.
King Wei Zhao said: "General Gongsun has reported just now that Wuji led the army to defeat the elite halberd iron cavalry of the Qin State and made a great achievement, and I want to reward you well..." ”
"Father, the sons dare not accept it." Wei Wuji said.
"Why not?"
Wei Wuji took out the holy decree in his arms and held it in his hand: "Please take a look at the emperor." ”
"This is the edict?"
"Yes."
King Wei Zhao took the holy decree, opened it, looked at it, and said angrily: "What a bold and reckless act. Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened. Even the holy decree dares to be falsely photographed. If he is found out by me, he will be wiped out by the nine clans! ”
From the words of King Wei Zhao, it can be seen.
He did not suspect King Wei Anli.
Because King Wei Anli is also the prince of Wei, if the nine clans are destroyed, the royal family of Wei will be gone.
"Humph!"
King Wei Zhao snorted heavily, pulled a piece of gold silk silk from the side, and wrote with a pen. After that, he poked it with a jade seal.
He handed the decree to his father-in-law on the side: "Read! ”
"Yes."
The father-in-law opened the holy decree and read: "Under the decree, because the prince is unscrupulous, on the way back to Daliang, he defeated the elite halberd iron cavalry of the Qin State, so that Daliang was saved from the poison of war. Tejin was named the king of Anbei, commanded the seven cities on the border of northern Wei, and gave 100,000 taels of silver and a mansion... ”
This decree is not much different from the false decree.
Even the amount of silver, jewelry, and jade was the same.
King Wei Zhao just wanted to tell the ill-intentioned person that his wishful thinking had come to naught. Wei Wuji was not only not assassinated, but also really became the king of Wei Anbei.
