"Ugh...." The old patriarch sighed: "I didn't expect that my Chu Kingdom would come to this point, and even the heir to the throne would have to be selected from the side line. ”

"Chu Huaimin is the son of Chu Shang, only four years old, Da Sima really thinks that he is suitable to be the emperor of the Great Chu State?"

Wei Wuji said: "I think he is very suitable. ”

"Why?"

"Because there is a loyal general Wang Dafu, he will teach Gongzi Huaimin how to be a good emperor. I believe that the future of the Chu State must be bright. ”

"I see..."

The old patriarch had lived for most of his life, how could he not hear the meaning of Wei Wuji's words.

That's fine.

It is conducive to the stability of the Chu State.

"I don't know Gongzi Huaimin, where is he now?" Wei Wuji asked.

"Come with me."

The old patriarch took Wei Wuji and Xu Chu to a separate courtyard.

It is said that it is another courtyard, but in fact it is two dilapidated tiled houses, which are even more dilapidated than the old patriarch's residence.

Wei Wuji really couldn't understand how he could live in such a place if he was a relative of the emperor.

The living environment of Heyuan is also too bad.

Because Chu Huaimin's father, Chu Shang, had been assassinated by Sun Jin in the Chu Palace, and now in his family, only his original wife and son Huaimin have lived a very difficult life.

Every month, the Chu Palace sent a very small amount of money, which was only enough for food.

Chu Shang's wife never dreamed that her son would become emperor.

When Wei Wuji read out the decision, she was so excited that she almost fainted.

"Rong Ji, you can take your son and go to Chu Palace. Everything is subject to the arrangement of the great Sima, and no major events shall be delayed. The old patriarch said.

"Yes."

The woman who is called Rong Ji is the wife of Chu Shang.

She carried the four-year-old Chu Huaimin in her arms, and left Heyuan with Wei Wuji and went to Yingdu City.

Vertical day.

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Wei Wuji took Chu Huaimin's hand, walked to the dragon chair, and personally carried Chu Huaimin onto the dragon chair. He was wearing a very small dragon robe, and he sat on the dragon chair and looked around, feeling that everything was new.

Wei Wuji didn't care about him, and said to the ministers in the palace: "From today on, Gongzi Huaimin, the new Emperor of Chu, will hold the enthronement ceremony later." ”

"The general Wang Dafu, and the newly promoted imperial uncle Chu Sheng, who was promoted to prime minister, are auxiliary ministers and are in charge of military and internal affairs."

.........

In addition to Chu Sheng and Wang Dafu, there are several ministers who have also been reused.

Became the pillar minister of the state of Chu.

Assist Chu Sheng in managing agriculture, commerce, and diplomacy.

Wei Wuji specifically mentioned that the diplomacy of the Chu State should pay attention to the word 'and'. Harmony is precious. Because the state of Chu eliminated the state of Zhao and obtained a vast land, it would take years, or even ten years, to turn the state of Zhao into the state of Chu.

The enemy was jealous of the vast territory of the Chu State, and after Wei Wuji left the Chu State, it was likely to attract an army of the enemy country.

When the time comes.

Once the state of Chu cannot resist the coalition of various countries, it is likely to collapse.

In a word...

The state of Chu needs time.

Only by establishing good relations with other countries can we be invincible.

For these, Wang Dafu and Chu Sheng both particularly agreed.

Wang Dafu also announced in the palace that he would form an alliance with Wei by marriage and never go to war!

"Since everyone agrees, I won't say any more. Tomorrow will be the funeral of the former emperor, and then the enthronement ceremony will be held. Wei Wuji said.

"Yes."

The ministers replied.

"Take the former prime minister carefully and bring him to the palace." Wei Wuji raised his voice.

The guards outside the hall escorted a man who was tied into a rice dumpling into the court.

He is the former prime minister of Chu State.

When Chu Ji was assassinated by Wei Wuji, he wanted to escape secretly, but was discovered and captured by the soldiers of the Black Armor Army.

"Get on your knees!" One soldier held him in charge, and another kicked him in the crook of the leg, knocking him to the ground.

The ministers around him all looked at him.

Pointing and scolding.

Wei Wuji shouted, "Zhou Shen, do you remember what I said to you that day outside the city?" ”

"If you are caught, you want to kill or chop, and you will listen to it. It's just that... Don't trouble my family. Since he was caught, he knew that he would not escape death.

However, his wife and children are innocent and do not deserve the same punishment.

"Ministers, what do you think should be done in a thorough manner?" Wei Wuji asked.

"Five horses split into corpses!"

"A thousand cuts!"

.........

One by one, the ministers fell into the ground.

Zhou Shen listened to the sweat all over, and said angrily: "You people, I usually treat you well, why do you harm me?" The Great General... Plea for me. ”

"You conspired with the crown prince to poison the former emperor, a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven." Wang Dafu's attitude was very resolute, and he arched his hand towards Wei Wuji and said: "Great Sima, the ministers who have always rebelled will be killed by the nine clans!" Now that the former emperor has died and the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, it is even more necessary to rectify the dynasty, strictly enforce the law, and not tolerate the slightest personal feelings. Please Da Sima enforce the law impartially, and exterminate Zhou Shen and his clan to show justice. ”

"Do you hear that? That's not what I said. Wei Wuji chuckled.

"Wang Dafu, you..."

Zhou Shenwan didn't think about it, the first person to kill him turned out to be Wang Dafu, who usually looks inconspicuous and has an easy-going personality.

Wei Wuji took the opportunity to say: "Careful rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, there is no need for a retrial." Arrest the Zhou family immediately and behead them on a certain day! ”

In the midst of thoughtful cries, he was dragged out of the main hall.

"Great Sima Yingming!"

Wang Dafu arched his hand.

The rest of the ministers chimed in.

Wei Wuji finally said: "Tomorrow for the funeral of the former emperor, I will personally carry the coffin to show respect and apology to the former emperor." After returning to Wei, I will not participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and I hope that the ministers will understand. ”

"It's all gone."

Wei Wuji picked up the little emperor on the dragon chair and left the Fengtian Palace.

After returning home.

Began to prepare for the trip to Wei.

Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran went to clean up the softness.

Mu Guiying walked over and said, "Wuji, Wei is far away from Zhao State, can you come back in the future?" Daddy is in Muke Village, still waiting to drink our wedding wine. ”

Wei Wuji said: "Gui Ying don't worry, I will accompany you back when I have time in the future." ”

"I don't believe you when you say that. Wei has always been threatened by Qin, and there are frequent wars, if you go, you will definitely not be able to get away, how can you have time to accompany me back. ”

"So what do you say? Anyway, I must go to Wei State. ”

"Ugh...."

Mu Guiying sighed and said: "As the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, I am tied to you in my life." If you want to go to Wei, I can only follow. I'll talk about it later. ”

"Actually..." Wei Wuji said: "Isn't it great that you can take your father to Wei so that you can meet at any time?" ”

"It's so simple. Daddy has lived in Mukezhai for more than ten years and has never been out of the mountains. It is absolutely impossible to let him leave his hometown and go to Wei. ”

"Hehe... I thought about it too. Wei Wuji laughed: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later." ”

This night.

Wei Wuji pulled Chu Wushuang and Mu Guiying and said a lot of things.

Mediate their relationship.

Chu Wushuang has been angry.

felt that Wei Wuji didn't love her as much as he used to.

Everything is biased towards Mu Guiying, which is really annoying.

But...

Annoying is annoying, and the facts are irrevocable.

Wei Wuji had already admitted that Mu Guiying was his side room, so he would definitely treat her as a member of the family. At such a time, it was useless for Chu Wushuang to oppose it.

Can only be accepted.

Thinking that Mu Guiying had saved her life, and he was very sensible and respected her as the main room.

Chu Wushuang was slowly relieved.

But...

On this night, another big event happened.

Wei Wuji, Chu Wushuang, and Mu Guiying were all stunned by the wine poured by Chu Yanran. When he got up the next morning, Wei Wuji slept on Chu Yanran's bed, naked, and hugged Chu Yanran.

After waking up.

Chu Yanran has been crying...

I cried endlessly, as if I had been greatly wronged.

Chu Wushuang and Mu Guiying rushed over, a little surprised.

The most surprised was Mu Guiying.

Because she told Chu Yanran about this idea, she wanted Chu Yanran to find the right time to cook the raw rice into rice. But she didn't expect that Chu Yanran would drug their wine. This is also too much.

Chu Wushuang had a different idea from Mu Guiying.

She didn't doubt her sister.

felt that Wei Wuji was drunk and disorderly and came to harm his sister. Immediately very angry, he stepped forward and grabbed Wei Wuji's ear: "You brought back a woman from outside, even if you still defile Yanran?" People say that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and you don't even let go of the people around you, right? ”

Wei Wuji was completely confused...

There are no episodes of drunken sex in my memory.

"Yanran... Did I come to your room? Wei Wuji broke Chu Wushuang's hand and asked Chu Yanran, who was crying on the side.

"Hmm."

She nodded.

"You have to tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth." Chu Yanran looked very innocent.

Wei Wuji didn't believe it.

I don't have the habit of drinking and having sex.

Every time I finished drinking, I fell asleep, how could I run to Chu Yanran's room and lie naked on Chu Yanran's bed. It's incredible.

"What else do you have to say?" Chu Wushuang asked angrily.

Wei Wuji stared at Chu Yanran and said solemnly: "Yanran, I don't like dishonest women, if you tell me the truth, no matter what the facts are, I will be responsible to the end." If you still tell lies, your position in my heart will plummet. I'm going to look down on you, you know? ”

Hearing this, Chu Yanran hesitated.

She thought for a moment and whispered, "Yes." I took advantage of your drunkenness and dragged you into my room. ”

"Look at it!" Wei Wuji said to Chu Wushuang, "I'm right. How could I get drunk and have sex and run to my sister-in-law's room. It's time for you to restore my reputation. ”

"Yanran, you..." Chu Wushuang ran out of the house.

"Sister." Chu Yanran put on her clothes and chased her out.

..........

The two sisters were in the courtyard outside, talking for a long time.

Although there was a quarrel, the situation was not very bad.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and it is not easy to destroy.

After Chu Yanran kept apologizing, understanding reason, and moving with emotion, they all explained clearly.

Chu Wushuang took her hand into the room and announced to Wei Wuji: "In the future, Yanran will also be in the side room, just like Gui Ying, regardless of size, is it okay?" ”

"Can I refuse?"

"Can't!" Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran said at the same time.

"My sister has been defiled by you, if you don't want her, she can only die, and I won't live with you." Chu Wushuang said.

"Okay."

Wei Wuji spread his hands and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Anyway, there are already two, and it doesn't hurt to have one more. ”

"I can tell you. Just the three of us, not more. Otherwise, we won't say yes. Chu Wushuang said.

"Yes, Mowgli, you have to be more restrained, you can't mess with flowers anymore." Chu Yanran said.

Mu Guiying laughed secretly.

Wei Wuji was really speechless.

Did you really mess with flowers?

Mu Guiying came from fishing and insisted on being his wife.

Chu Yanran took advantage of the drunkenness to drag him to the bed, and said that she had defiled her?

In the end, there is no heavenly reason.

All right.

Not all colts have such blessings.

Wei Wuji confessed.

.........

this day.

After mourning for the Emperor of Chu, Wei Wuji went to see the general Wang Dafu.

This trip is to say goodbye.

There is another matter to discuss with Wang Dafu.

"General, I am going to return to Wei tomorrow, and I am here for this trip. But... There is one thing I want to talk to you about, lest you be overly distracted. Wei Wuji said.

"What's the matter?"

The two sat down.

Wei Wuji said: "There are some generals in the army who begged me bitterly to let him take them to Wei, but in fact... They are all counted as my retainers, and I want to take them with me. I don't know what you think? ”

"It's just a small thing..."

"There are still a few armies, and I have to take them with me." Wei Wuji smiled.

"The army?"

Wang Dafu became vigilant: "What army? ”

"The Black Armor Army, the Trap Camp, the Wudang Flying Army, and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, these four elites. Then there were Xiang Yu, Gao Shun, Wang Ping, Xu Chu, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhao Yun, and they all went to Wei with me. ”

Wei Wuji said slowly.

Wang Dafu's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"Da Sima, you... It's too ruthless, isn't it? took away almost all the elites of the Chu State. He also took away all the generals who led the army. Da Sima, can you discuss this matter? ”

Wang Dafu was really reluctant.

As soon as these troops and generals leave, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army will be greatly reduced.

Once another country invades, he can't even take out the generals who lead the army.

"It's negotiable, but... The results cannot be changed. Wei Wuji smiled on the surface, but his attitude was very resolute.

The army, the generals, whoever they were, he had to take them with them.

From the time he knew his background, the state of Chu had become his ally, and the state of Wei was his home. Everything should be in the interests of Wei.

Wang Dafu said: "At least leave General Xiang and General Cheng Yanjin behind." One of them is in charge of the elite of the Chu State, and the other is in charge of the Northern Army. If they are all taken away, how can I lead the army? ”

"General..."

Wei Wuji paused and said with a smile: "Are you really relieved, let my generals of the Wei State command the army of the Chu State?" Don't forget, they only do what I do, in case.... ”

"Uh..."

Wang Dafu's face changed slightly, he thought about it, waved his hand and said, "That's the case... Take it all away. ”

"Hahaha... I'm kidding you. We are a country of in-laws, and nothing like that will happen. General, if you really want Xiang Yu and Cheng Yanjin, you can stay. Wei Wuji said.

"Forget it, you can take it all."

Wang Dafu wanted to understand some truths, and he didn't dare to ask for it anymore.

Wouldn't it be very dangerous if Wei wanted to attack Chu one day, and most of Chu State's army was in Wei Wuji's hands. You don't have to fight to lose.
