Gongsun Yan seemed to have known that Wei Wuji was coming, so he was waiting outside the mansion gate.

"See King Anbei."

"The general doesn't have to be polite." Wei Wuji looked at the formation and said with a smile: "The general is really well-informed, does he have clairvoyance?" ”

Wei Wuji glared at the beads in a joking manner.

"King Anbei has won the award."

"Please have tea in the hall."

"Please."

Follow Gongsun Yan and enter the General's Mansion.

His layout here is much worse than that of the Anbei Palace.

There is no garden inside, no view.

A small courtyard with a main hall behind it.

Wei Wuji said: "The general lives a simple life and can be called a model for the ministers. ”

"Haha..."

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "The king of Anbei has a good reputation, and the ministers of Wei are all living a simple life. The ministers also learn from them. ”

"I don't know what is the important matter for the king of Anbei to come to the minister? You won't be here to visit the garden, will you? ”

Enter the living room.

Wei Wuji sat on the top seat, took a sip of tea, and said, "I came to your mansion to do something important. I want to know about the situation in the court of Wei. Especially like the general, who are the ministers who are upright and outspoken? Are they loyal to their father? Or does it have something to do with King Anli? ”

This is a very sharp statement.

Gongsun was afraid of being listened to, so he subconsciously looked out of the hall.

He lowered his voice and said, "King Anbei, you speak carefully!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty has always trusted King Anli, and many things have been entrusted to him. A small half of Wei's army and generals also obeyed his command. In the past, some ministers made statements, worried that King Wei Anli would be powerful and affect the court situation. As a result, the emperor was furious and sent the minister to prison. After that, no one dared to participate in the king of Anli. ”

"And such a thing..." Wei Wuji really didn't expect it.

King Wei Zhao doted on his son like this.

You can even turn a blind eye to such a thing as seizing power.

"But..."

Gongsun Yan whispered again: "According to the ministers, the emperor loves King Anbei even more. If the king of Anbei himself participated, he would never be guilty. ”

"You're stupid to me?"

Wei Wuji will not be strong.

Again...

King Anli has been locked up and is about to be convicted, is it necessary for him to participate in the concert again?

Wei Wuji said: "General, I have no intention of participating in the imperial brother. I just want to ask about the situation in the court of the Wei State. ”

"Wei State, alas...."

Gongsun Yan suddenly sighed.

Wei Wuji frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Is there anything unspeakable? ”

"If you really want to talk about it, it has something to do with King Anli. Over the years, King Anbei disappeared, the emperor's health deteriorated, and King Anli became the only legitimate heir to the throne. Therefore, many ministers and generals joined the camp of King Anli. Do things for King Anri. And these have become the levers to balance them. ”

"King Anbei, please think about it, the ministers and generals are all under the control of King Anli, who dares not to listen to him?" Gongsun Yan said.

"How do you know this? Is it speculation? Wei Wuji asked.

"Hmm."

Wei Wuji was speechless.

You can't count the things you guess.

"Is it true that in my Wei country, there is no upright and loyal minister?" Wei Wuji asked.

"Yes."

Gongsun Yan really didn't disappoint Wei Wuji, and said the name of a minister: "Veteran Le Yang." ”

Le Yang?

Wei Wuji knew the name.

Le Yang is a general of the Wei State, and he has made many military exploits in the early days, and he should be very old now.

And...

Le Yang's son, named Le Yi!

It was the fierce man who commanded the five-nation alliance army, defeated the Qi army in the west of Jishui, and then even took down the seventy cities of the Qi country, creating a famous example in history of defeating the strong with the weak.

Wei Wuji didn't expect it.

There are still such talents in the Wei State.

"Where is Le Yang's mansion? I'm going to see you! Wei Wuji stood up and said.

"Mansion? Hehe.... Gongsun Yan shook his head: "Le Yang has resigned and retired to his hometown Lingshou." It is said that life is very urgent, and even food, clothing, shelter and transportation have become a problem. ”

"There are only some old ministers, who risk being convicted, and secretly help him."

"How so?" Wei Wuji couldn't figure it out. Le Yang is a famous general of Wei and has made countless military exploits. In his later years, he should be respected by courtiers and the royal family.

How could it be so miserable.

No wonder Le Yi will go to Yan Kingdom.

led to the decline of the Wei state.

Wei Wuji didn't want to see this kind of thing happen, and said, "Regarding the old general Leyang, I will intercede with my father.... ”

"Except for Le Yang, what about the other ministers? And what about the military? ”

"Other...." Gongsun Yan is worthy of being an old minister of Wei.

He is very clear about the things inside and outside the Wei Kingdom.

Maybe.

He had long wanted to pour out the bitter water.

I talked a lot to Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji had been listening, too.

........

King Wei Anli has always cultivated his own small forces, not only to win over important ministers in the court, but also a large number of generals, who are also dependent on him. Now the ministers of Wei, except for a few high-ranking and powerful ones, are almost all the party of King Wei Anli. The garrisons everywhere also obeyed him. There are only 20,000 regular troops under the command of Gongsun Yan, which is like an iron plate, and King Wei Anli can't intervene.

However, the army of Wei was divided into many factions, and Gongsun Yan was not very strong.

Li Yanjun, the prime minister on the left, the uncle of the prime minister on the right, and the general Wei Xun are all loyal to King Wei Zhao.

And the most upright person is the previous Minister of Prudent Criminal Affairs, Shang Ying.

Hearing the name, Wei Wuji was taken aback.

The famous Shang Ying turned out to be in the Wei State.

"He was the previous Minister of Punishment?" Wei Wuji asked.

"Yes. However, he became a minister for a few days. Because as soon as he took office, the cases he took over were all related to the royal family. Especially King Wei Anli, the emperor did not believe in the embezzlement of military salaries, and as a result, Shang Ying was dismissed. I'm idle at home now. ”

"Okay."

Wei Wuji smiled: "That's it!" ”

"What does King Anbei mean?" Wei Wuji said inexplicably, and Gongsun Yan was a little confused.

Wei Wuji said: "Now that King Wei Anli has been locked up in the prison, if there is solid evidence to prove that he sent an army to attack and kill me, it will be difficult to come out again." ”

"But my father didn't believe that he would do such a thing, and he always wanted to save King Anli through me. It's hard for me to say no, I think... ”

Wei Wuji paused: "Can you let Shang Ying be in charge of the Prudent Criminal Division again?" Specializing in the case of King Anri? ”

"This..." Gongsun Yan was a little hesitant.

But.

Just a few breaths.

He arched his hand and said, "The minister is willing to mention this matter to the emperor." ”

"Okay."

Wei Wuji said, "I will contact a group of ministers to help you." ”

"It's better for the minister to contact himself." Gongsun Yan knew that Wei Wuji was not very familiar with the situation in the Wei State.

Only he can tell which ones are loyal to King Wei Anli, which ones are loyal to King Wei Zhao, and which neutral ministers are. If you call the wrong person, it will backfire.

Wei Wuji was really surprised.

Gongsun Yan seems to be particularly concerned about this matter.

Before he could ask for help, Gongsun Yan took the initiative to mention the matter to King Wei Zhao.

That's fine.

Save him too much.

...........

Vertical day.

Early morning.

The sun is shining.

Wei Wuji got up early in the morning and practiced the Mandarin Duck Sword with Mu Guiying in the courtyard for a while.

Had breakfast.

Go to the upper court.

When I walked to the gate of the palace, I met Gongsun Yan.

Wei Wuji asked in a low voice, "General, is the matter okay?" ”

"Please rest assured that everything has been done."

"Hmm."

Wei Wuji nodded.

and Gongsun Yan went to the court.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." When King Wei Zhao arrived, the ministers bowed.

"Flat."

King Wei Zhao glanced at Wei Wuji, and said in a calm tone: "Wuji, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Uh..."

Wei Wuji was stunned.

Above the court, can you still greet so casually?

However, he quickly reacted and arched his hand: "Thank you for your father's care, and everything is fine with your son." ”

"What Gonggong Li told you before, have you thought about it?"

"The son doesn't know what's going on, please ask your father to make it clear." Wei Wuji thought in his heart that as long as King Wei Zhao dared to speak out openly, he would let King Wei Anli go.

Pity...

King Wei Zhao didn't dare to say it.

I froze for a moment.

The right prime minister's uncle came out of the left column and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

"Prime Minister, please speak."

King Wei Zhao withdrew his gaze, relieving the embarrassment with Wei Wuji.

Uncle Zuo said: "Yesterday, the minister went to the prison and found some unusual phenomena. Some of the criminals who were caught in the prison actually regarded it as their home, eating, drinking, listening to songs and watching dances. The prison officials turned a blind eye to this. It's a bit of a contradiction. ”

"What! And such a thing? ”

King Wei Zhao suddenly stood up, his expression furious.

He looked at one of the ministers below and shouted, "Punishment Division! ”

"The minister is here."

"Do you know what the prime minister said?"

"Minister..." Dong Huaiyi, the minister of the Criminal Division, slowly raised his head and winked at King Wei Zhao a few times. King Wei Zhao didn't pay attention to it, but said angrily: "Above the court, what kind of system is it to squeeze your eyebrows with me?" ”

"I ask you, do you know anything about prison?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows."

"If you know, why don't you check?" King Wei Zhao snorted, "Not only are you derelict in your duties, but you also have problems with your ability?" ”

"Someone!"

"In..." The armor soldier outside the door heard King Wei Zhao's shout and ran in.

"Take down Dong Huaiyi, remove him from all positions, and send him to the Shen Criminal Division for detention." King Wei Zhao shouted.

"No."

Dong Huaiyi was taken away.

He shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The minister is not guilty. There is another hidden story in prison, and Rong Chen will report it later. He didn't dare to confess to King Wei Anli, so he could only mention one thing.

But.

King Wei Zhao was angry and didn't listen to him at all.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Uncle Zuo shouted.

The rest of the ministers also chimed in.

From King Wei Zhao's reaction just now, it is enough to show that he did not know about the matter in prison. It was not at his suggestion that King Wei Anli should enjoy privileges.

Otherwise...

Uncle Zuo mentioned it just now, and he understood it at once.

Wei Wuji stayed aside and continued to watch the play.

Uncle Zuo continued: "Your Majesty, the Prudential Criminal Division cannot be without an official in charge. The minister proposed that Shang Ying should continue to serve.... ”

"Shang Ying?"

King Wei Zhao asked, "Why him?" ”

"Shang Ying handled the case quickly, was upright, and was really a model official. Although he offended His Majesty, he thought that he could not be convicted for this. Please let your Majesty open the net and let him continue to serve. ”

Wait for Uncle Zuo to finish.

Another minister also said: "The minister is reconsidering." ”

"The minister also reconsidered..." People who stand up in a line.

Wei Wuji glanced back.

These people were probably called by Gongsun Yan.

I didn't expect that Wei still had these courtiers who dared to give direct advice.

"You guys..." King Wei Zhao did not think of using Shang Marting.

Because Shang Ying was always against the royal family.

The last time King Wei Anli was checked, the government and the opposition were uneasy, and they all thought that he was protecting his shortcomings.

If you get Shang Ying back again, in case...

At this time, King Wei Zhao suddenly remembered something.

King Wei Anli is still in the prison, the person who participated in the performance of Uncle Zuo just now, could it be him? Thinking about it carefully, when Dong Huaiyi, the minister of the Department of Caution and Criminal Justice, was dragged out, he winked at him vigorously.

King Wei Zhao understood at once.

Uncle Zuo is the sword pointing at King Wei Anli. knew that he would protect his shortcomings, so he didn't point it out.

He was very angry, but he didn't have a good seizure.

"This matter is postponed, retreat!"

King Wei Zhao got up violently, brushed his sleeves and left.

"Greetings to Your Majesty..." The ministers bowed.

"King Anbei, now I can only rely on you." Gongsun Yan pulled Wei Wuji and walked aside.

"Rely on me?"

"yes. Your Majesty trusts King Anri, but trusts you even more. If you mention it to Your Majesty, he will definitely agree. Gongsun Yan said.

"I'll try as much as I can."

Wei Wuji was not in a hurry to return to the Anbei Palace.

I'm going to go to the Imperial Study and finish this matter.

Just look at whether King Wei Zhao likes King Anli a little more or likes him a little more.

Outside the study.

Gonggong Li greeted him: "Why is King Anbei here?" ”

"I heard that my father's health has not been very good, I brought an elixir from the Chu State, and I want my father to give it a try."

"King Anbei later, let the old slave go in to report."

"Hmm."

Grandpa Li went in not long ago.

King Wei Zhao's voice came out: "Wuji, come in." ”

"Yes."

Wei Wuji walked in and smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and couldn't help but incite his hands.

King Wei Zhao sat in front of him and beckoned, "Come over Wuji." ”

"Since you returned to Daliang, I have wanted to recruit you to talk, but I have not been free. Today you took the initiative to come, it just so happens that I haven't seen you for a long time... ”

He said many warm words.

Wei Wuji said: "Erchen is late, and he is really unfilial. ”

"It's no wonder you're busy with military affairs." King Wei Zhao asked Gonggong Li to move to the table.

Wei Wuji sat down and said, "In the past few years in the Chu State, Erchen has been studying medical skills and has made a holy medicine that can cure all kinds of diseases, can my father give it a try?" ”

"And a medicine that can cure all diseases? I don't believe it. King Wei Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It's just that Wei Wuji is joking.

However...

Wei Wuji took out a piece of stinky dried tofu from behind his back and said with a smile: "The holy medicine is here, it can cure all diseases." If the father trusts his son, he will eat it.... ”

"Of course I believe you!"

King Wei Zhao took the stinky dried tofu and sniffed it, it was a little stinky.

Gonggong Li on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, can you let the old slave taste it first?" ”

"Hmm."

King Wei Zhao was going to give him the stinky tofu.

Wei Wuji frowned and said, "Father, do you really not believe in your sons?" ”

"No, I... I eat! King Wei Zhao turned to the side, pinched his nose with one hand, and stuffed the stinky dried tofu into his mouth. Suddenly, the mouth is full of aroma and the taste is excellent.

King Wei Zhao said in surprise: "Strange, how can something that is obviously very smelly change when you eat it in your mouth?" ”
