Chapter 697: The human heart is unpredictable

(Everyone, don't stop subscribing to the polls, even if you have some book reviews!!) )

Wu'an City is very big, and there are many people thinking about it, and I don't know how many people are calculating.

The peddlers and pawns calculated firewood, rice, oil and salt, the high-ranking families calculated the gold and silver inputs, and the real magnates ......

There are a lot of magnates in Wu'an City, but there are a few magnates among the magnates, and they are no more than the four families of Xie, Zhao, Zhang, and Wang.

Now that the monarch is seriously ill, the four major families, which were originally relatively peaceful, have gathered more and more frequently in recent months.

In the past, they were still a little sneaky, but now they are visiting each other in the open, as if they can't do anything to Wei Hou!

The weather in Wu'an was cold, and even though a few pots of charcoal had been placed in the room, the four old guys here still rubbed their hands.

"I guess, Wu Mingyan should also go to the Changping camp!" At this time, Zhang Lin, the old patriarch of the Zhang family, spoke.

Although Wu Mingyan is a defeated general, and his performance has not been very good in the past few years, for the sake of the big guys, they still pushed him out.

This also shows the audacity of these people, how important the Changping camp is now, but it has still become a tool of political struggle.

For these people, the interests of their own family are the most important, and the family and country can only rank two or three in the world.

"It's time to come, I hope this time...... Wu Zhuguo: Don't let everyone down! On the other side, the white-haired old patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Jiandao.

He has a relatively good relationship with Wu Mingyan, but at this time, he expressed his distrust of his old friend, who put Wu Mingyan at a disadvantage in the struggle with Wei Wuji!

As Mrs. Wei's father, Xie Linyun, the patriarch of the Xie family, said at this time: "Don't worry, the Changping camp is different from the Lingbei camp, at this time, the strength of my family accounts for nearly half, and it is not so easy for Wei Wuji to make waves!" ”

Xie Linyun is the grandfather of his eldest son, Wei Chengze, and dealing with Wei Wuji has become his greatest concern.

In Xie Linyun's view, among the sons of the Marquis of Wei, the third Wei Jianlin and the fifth Wei Wuji are threats, as long as these two people are contained, then the throne of the monarch will be at your fingertips.

Among them, the fifth prince Wei Wuji is the most difficult person, so Xie Linyun is the vanguard to deal with Wei Wuji.

However, don't think that the low-key third son, Wei Jianlin, has no one to support, except for the Xie family, it is difficult to say what other people think of the four major families.

Therefore, Xie Linyun is also under a lot of pressure now, and there is both cooperation and competition between him and the three old friends in front of him.

"This time, we all revealed the news, and the generals and military officials under the Changping camp naturally know what to do!" The old patriarch of the Zhao clan said.

Among the five major battalions of the Wei State, in addition to the Wu'an Battalion, there are many Shishi military officials, and then it belongs to the Changping Battalion.

There are nine generals in the Changping battalion, four in the first line of the clan, and nearly sixty percent of the first-class military officials in the first lieutenant rank.

Therefore, this time Wu Mingyan was sent to the Changping camp, and these people also had their own support.

Again, Changping Camp is not Lingbei Camp, it is largely the home of the family family.

The unity of the top and bottom, coupled with Wu Mingyan's shame and courage, it would not be a problem to suppress Wei Wuji in the eyes of the clan.

Even if it can't be suppressed, as long as it can maintain the situation of fighting against each other, it is good to contain Wei Wuji.

Wei Hou is not in good health now, it may be a matter of the past two years, and the Great Wei Kingdom will have to change the day. As long as Wei Wuji is abolished, the other sons are acceptable to everyone.

At this time, Wang Jian said: "Do you know the movement of the Wu'an camp two days ago? ”

The Wu'an battalion is regarded as the back garden of the Marquis of Wei, and there is no main general of the battalion, and now it has an army of 70,000.

But among the 70,000 troops, there was a big movement two days ago, and 20,000 Wei soldiers actually left the Wu'an camp and are now stationed at the east gate and south gate of Wu'an.

This situation is extremely abnormal, just like someone in Wu'an wants to rebel, so he needs to use a large army to suppress it.

And who in Wu'an has the qualifications to create Wei Hou's rebellion? Of course, it is a deep-rooted family, after all, a few days ago in the court, they disobeyed the Marquis of Wei and forcibly replaced the Changping camp with the main general.

"Your Excellency is not at ease with us!" At this time, Zhang Lin sighed and said.

In fact, although they were fighting with Wei Hou, they did not have the courage to rebel.

But now the monarch has transferred the army to the outside of Wu'an City, which shows the centrifugation of the monarch and the ministers clearly, and the sword and soldiers are facing each other in the distance!

But at this time, I only heard Xie Linyun say: "Your Excellency is worried...... This is a rare situation, even more than ten years ago, when a monarch never did! ”

Xie Linyun's words were very meaningful, and Wei Hou was worried...... Worry is almost fear, so what is the monarch afraid of?

Afraid of the world? This has never happened before, so Xie Linyun said that it has not happened for more than ten years.

Wei Hou's behavior also shows that in more than ten years of struggle, he has now fallen behind in terms of mentality.

He felt that he couldn't suppress his subordinates, so he had to rely on the strength of the army, so as to give him some sense of security.

I have to say that Wei Hou's hand is still very effective, and the 20,000 army is placed outside Wu'an City, which is a sword hanging over the head of the clan.

They have specially brought this matter out for discussion today, and they are not afraid of this sword!

None of the people present said anything about bribing these two armies, because it was simply impossible, and Wei Wushu was a diehard loyalist of Wei and the office from top to bottom.

Even if the Marquis of Wei is gone, their allegiance will only be to the Wei Office, which is a law established before becoming a marquis.

Therefore, compared to buying Wei Wushu, the family is not as good as winning over the people in the office.

Except for the sons of the Marquis of Wei, the brothers and uncles of the Marquis of Wei himself in the Wei Mansion did not have some ideas about the throne.

At this time, Wang Jian continued: "Not only the Wu'an camp, I heard that there have also been changes in the palace, and the guards inside and outside the Yongming Palace have all changed!" ”

In fact, everyone knows these news, so everyone is not surprised at all when Wang Jian says it.

Fortunately, the city defense of Wu'an City is in their hands, so they are not without a way to deal with it.

Moreover, among the 70,000 troops of the Wu'an battalion, more than sixty percent of the officers were from their side, and 30,000 of them were directly in their hands.

Therefore, when he talked about Wei Hou's transfer of the army at this time, Wang Jian just wanted to remind everyone present that everyone should not be careless.

At this time, the four people in the room were thinking about these things, which made the old men forget the winter cold, so that they stopped rubbing their hands.

Suddenly, Zhao An, who spoke the least, said: "The king's body bones are getting worse and worse, you say...... What's going on? ”

These words are a bit sharp, although everyone is fighting with Wei Hou, but killing the king is a crime that will never be recovered.

Zhao An's words seemed to be questioning everyone, Wei Hou's health is getting worse and worse, which of you is sitting down.

At this time, Wang Jian looked at Zhao An and said coldly: "Old Zhao, what do you mean by this, the king has become ill due to hard work, resulting in illness, what's so strange!" ”

But when Wang Jian replied this, he also thought about what was going on, the monarch's health has always been very good, how could he be sick for more than a year, and now it is almost a problem to walk.

Immediately, Wang Jian involuntarily shifted his gaze to Xie Linyun, could it be the Xie family's hands and feet?

After all, if Wei Hou dies now, his sister-in-law Wei Chengze will succeed to the throne in a righteous manner, and the Xie family is the biggest beneficiary, who made Wei Hou not set up a prince now!

Being looked at by Wang Jian's gaze, Xie Lin Yunden felt like he had been stepped on his tail, and he only heard him stare at him and said: "What does Elder Wang look at me, although this matter is strange, but the prince has worked hard for the country for many years and has worked hard for the country...... It's normal to be sick now! ”

The room became quiet for a moment.
