Wei Guo is a small state, under the tiger and wolf iron horse of Qin, there is no ability to resist, and Qin has always been the suzerain, and it is highly respected. In addition, for hundreds of years, he has repeatedly produced great talents; For example, Shang Ying, Lü Buwei and others made great contributions to the Qin State, and the emperor opened up to the defense of the country in order to show his reputation. Ji Jiao, the monarch of the Patriotic Kingdom, was grateful for this and obeyed Qin Guoyan. When he heard that the emperor wanted Gongzi Fusu to hire his only daughter as his wife, he was greatly flattered.

It's just that this arranged marriage has no signs, and it came in such a hurry, which surprised the government and the opposition. The emperor's marriage is clearly his love for the eldest son, but the identity of the wife given to the eldest son is very surprising. How many princes and nobles are waiting to marry in the boudoir in Xianyang City, that is, they want to marry the emperor and want to have a better relationship with the emperor. But the emperor was reluctant to seek the near and far, and even let the princess of the country marry into the royal family of Qin.

Many ministers tried to obstruct the matter, but it was difficult to find a reason. Although the country is weak, but the inheritance is very long, the ancestor of the country Wei Kangshu is the son of King Wen of Zhou, was enshrined in King Wu of Zhou, since then, the country has continued to this day, can be described as the longest life of the vassal state. Wei Guo is not only a bloodline branch of the Zhou royal family, but it can be said that he is born in a noble bloodline, which is not much higher than the Qin royal family of Qin, who was born in the border land of Mafu Xirong. The so-called princess of the country with the eldest son Fusu can be regarded as the right person.

It's just that for the emperor's arrangement, the government and the opposition have made different analyses of this. Some people believe that the emperor has decided to make Fusu the crown prince, and Fusu marries a noble princess of the country, which is proof of this.

Opponents argue that Fusu must have fallen out of favor with the emperor. The reason is that if the emperor really wants Chen Fusu to ascend the throne, he will inevitably vigorously support Fusu's wings and arrange a strong family force for Fusu.

Regarding these two kinds of controversy, the court officials did not make any comments on the surface, but in private, various small circles had already turned the world upside down, and all kinds of gossip were also spread from these small circles and spread everywhere in Xianyang City.

For these two comments, Master Yu Yu seems to be the most light-hearted. After returning to Xianyang, he has been hidden in the darkness and rarely appears in front of courtiers. Only he understands the emperor's intentions best. But he didn't break it. From the emperor's actions, he clearly saw that the emperor had regarded Fusu as his successor.

From the emperor's point of view, Princess Wei Guo is the best choice. He was born in a noble family, but Wei Guo did not have the slightest influence in Xianyang, and his relatives had the lowest influence on the imperial court. In fact, the emperor did not want the power of a successor to swell and threaten his own interests. The emperor, who is proficient in conspiracy and power, naturally knows that in the temptation of absolute power, the matter of the father killing the son and the son killing the father has not happened in all dynasties.

"Master, it's cold, you can pay more attention to your body." The emperor's usually cold and serious tone became gentle and generous, and after personally draping Wei Yu with a large coat made of white fox skin, he said softly: "This is the list of escorts that Wang Juan plans to go on next year's tour, what does the master think?" ”

Revealing a faint sandalwood fragrance, the gold paper is densely written with round small seals. The people who can be ranked on the paper are all celebrities.

Wei Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the names on the paper carefully, the list was arranged according to the rank and official position, the three princes and nine kings were basically among them, and the princes and nobles also had allocated places.

Wei Yi frowned slightly, pointed to the two names above and in the middle of the list, and said: "The old minister is old and weak, and he can't withstand this long bumpy road. Although Wei Yi was old, his voice was full of anger, pointing to a name in the middle, he continued: "As for my student Chen Sheng, although he occasionally made small contributions, he did not have such qualifications, and besides, he had just arrived in Lingnan, and the army he led had not yet opened up the situation, so he was rashly transferred back, I am afraid that it would be unfavorable to the war, so it is better to remove his name." ”

The Emperor frowned. On this trip to the East, the emperor had a variety of plans. First, in order to show off the strength of the empire, in order to deter the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were plotting to restore, and secondly, to show their peerless deeds and commend meritorious heroes through the sealing of Zen, and by the way, to promote new civil and military officials to replenish fresh blood for the empire. But Chen Sheng, who he wanted to see the most, was excluded by Wei Mi, and he was quite puzzled by Wei Mi's move.

Wei Yu sighed: "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng is still very young, if Your Majesty wants to promote him, you have to wait for him to have enough time to grow up." Wei Yu looked at the list again, frowned, pointed to a large number of names at the bottom of the list, and said, "Your Majesty, the number of Confucian scholars and scholars listed by Wang Juan seems to be more." ”

The emperor came over, looked at it, smiled coldly, and said, "Wang Juan is still Confucian, it's not strange that there are more Confucians. As for these alchemists, it was my idea. These guys have been preaching the magic of the elixir of immortality in front of me all day long, and I want to see if they can ask for the elixir of immortality for me. ”

Wei was silent. After a while, he seemed to remember something, and said, "It is reported that Xu Fu, a priest, asked three thousand boys and girls to go to sea and ask for medicine?" Your Majesty has allowed it? ”

The Emperor said, "Not bad. The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The master knows that I have a secret disease. In recent years, I have often felt tired and occasionally coughed up blood, and the Imperial Doctor was helpless. Only Xu City's secret medicine can alleviate my condition, and Xu City's immortal medicine is also half convinced. Helpless also. ”

Wei Yi also sighed and said: "The manpower and financial resources that Xu City seeks are enough to establish itself as a small country, if Xu City deceives Your Majesty, goes to sea to find a desert island, and does not return, what if it is self-reliant?" ”

A look of anger appeared on the emperor's face, and he said, "How dare he? I killed his three clans! ”

A relieved smile appeared on Wei Yu's face. Regarding this issue, Chen Sheng mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally when he wrote to him before. Of course, Chen Sheng did not tell Wei Yi the truth, but only quoted Qi and Chu Guojun ** Fangshi, who were deceived of a lot of money and went to sea to ask for immortal medicine, afraid that the emperor would be deceived, so he asked Wei Yi to pay more attention in this regard, so as not to work and lose money.

Wei Yu struck while the iron was hot, and said happily: "This is the best!" Lao Chen suggested that the parents, brothers and clansmen of Xu City and other monks who went to sea should all be relocated to one place, strictly guarded, and stipulate the date of Xu City's return from going to sea, regardless of whether they have asked for immortal medicine or not, they must return on time, and if they do not return within the time limit, their entire clan will be destroyed! Wei Yi's words were murderous, his eyes flashed, and he didn't look like an eighty-year-old man.
