Chapter 84: The Black Cauldron

King Wei looked at Song Zhi, who was silent on the side, and was also a lot relieved, thinking of the officials and strategists who were gradually arriving outside, he smiled at Brother Wang and Song Zhi and said, "I'm relieved to have you two, I'll go outside to discuss with them, and you two should rest!" ”

Saying that, King Wei strode away, Song Zhi and Brother Wang watched King Wei's expression change drastically in just a few minutes, and finally left with a smile, as if the sweat on his forehead was not his.

After King Wei left, Brother Wang asked Song Zhidao on the side with some surprise: "You did it?" ”

Song Zhi still shook his head, feeling that there was no one around, he said directly: "It's not me, his house was already burning when I went, and the letter I left behind contained the King of Wei and the King of Chu, I cleared that part and left!" ”

Brother Wang nodded, he trusted Song Zhi's words very much, although Song Zhi was capable, but he would not take the initiative to kill, let alone assassinate the prince, this matter must be as he said.

Brother Wang didn't ask much, looked in the direction of Song Zhi and said, "If Xie Ziwen comes to assassinate King Wei, can you keep him?" ”

Xie Ziwen glanced at Brother Wang, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was a little more, but he still said: "He will not take the initiative to assassinate others, even if King Wei really provokes him, he will not take the initiative to assassinate others!" ”

Brother Wang heard the dissatisfaction in Song Zhi's words, and said with a haha: "Of course I know that he won't take the initiative, I just want to know that with his skills, if you want to protect someone, can you keep it?" ”

Song Zhi glanced at Brother Wang, shook his head and said without hesitation: "No, if he wants to kill someone, I will definitely not be able to save it, maybe my master can save it!" ”

Brother Wang nodded, and was even more curious about Xie Ziwen, these people in the rivers and lakes are very principled, and they can't see them at all on weekdays, and they don't know how to appear at the same time recently, it is said that these two of them are famous young talents in the rivers and lakes, if they can receive their own command, maybe the great cause will be accomplished, and they don't have to work hard like now.

Song Zhi looked at Brother Wang's expression and changed slightly, while being dissatisfied with the master, he secretly calculated the time to go back, not long after entering the WTO, Brother Wang treated himself very well, and all the delicious food, drink and fun were all beckoned, and he rarely told himself to do things, stealing the test questions before was the only thing he had done for him so far, as for going to Wu Wang's Mansion to find out, this had nothing to do with Brother Wang.

In the front hall of King Wei, in the past, in order to avoid suspicion, King Wei rarely held any gatherings in the mansion, and secretly met guests in the restaurant outside the mansion.

When the strategists and officials saw the arrival of the King of Wei, they also swarmed around and chattered non-stop.

King Wei was already very panicked, but he was also unhappy when he heard them making such noise at this time, and reprimanded angrily: "Say it slowly, today is not the time for you to be smart, let's talk about the situation outside!" ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the officials and strategists looked at each other, not knowing who spoke first.

King Wei looked at this group of straw bales, and his heart was also very anxious, pointing to a person on the side and saying, "You come first!" ”

The man was also stunned, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan is an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he brought news about the Tribute Academy!" ”

King Wei didn't care where he was an official or where he brought the news, and said impatiently: "Say it quickly!" ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites also immediately said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, there were two candidates who claimed to be under the prince on the side of the Gongyuan, and Wei Chen identified it, it was the person who appeared in the night reclamation of Chenghe Restaurant, these two people went straight to the examination room with the answers, and made a mess of the examination order, and finally His Royal Highness the Prince took out the exam questions written by the emperor himself, so that everyone was calmed, and our previous plans were all nullified!" ”

King Wei only felt a bolt of lightning slash on his head, raised his hand and pointed at the official of the Ministry of Rites and said, "How can you tell me about such an important matter!" ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites also looked like a submissive person, and when he saw King Wei getting mad, he also whispered: "Isn't this what His Royal Highness King Wei ordered you, don't come to see you before the end of the Spring Festival, to avoid suspicion, if it weren't for you to call someone to summon me and others today, we wouldn't dare to come to the house to disturb us!" ”

The others also whispered yes, saying yes together, which caused King Wei's face to change drastically, but he didn't say anything, sighed and said: "That's it, I already know about this matter, what else do you know that I don't know!" ”

The soldiers wearing armor on the side also said for the first time: "His Royal Highness King Wei, the last general can't stay for a long time, let me say it first!" ”

King Wei nodded and motioned for him to continue.

The soldier was not ambiguous, and then said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qiqi, last night the Turks took advantage of the night to leave Chang'an City, and did not leave in the morning as pre-planned, at that time they said that things had changed, and we did not dare to delay, so we let them out!" ”

King Wei nodded, indicating that he knew about this matter, "Let them go, it's not easy for them to stay now, in order to change you to the gate, how much effort did I waste, how much time I spent, didn't I just wait for you to let them out!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he said no more, and said goodbye and strode away!

When the soldier left, the strategist on the side immediately said: "I was having tea in the teahouse next to Chenghe Restaurant at noon today, and I saw Li Junxian arresting the King of Chu with a group of officers and soldiers, and I don't know what the situation is!" ”

King Wei was shocked again, his eyes widened and he said, "What? The king of Chu was arrested? It's all messed up, how does Li Junxian know that the King of Chu is in Chang'an, how dare he arrest the King of Chu! ”

The strategist didn't dare to speak much, and after reporting what he had seen, he stopped talking, the situation was still unclear at this time, and it was useless to do more analysis!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to himself, King Wei didn't say much, looked at the officials on the side and continued, "What about you? Do you have any good news for me? ”

The official didn't know what to say, and it took a while before he spoke: "I heard from the brothers of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion that King Wu was burned alive in the mansion today, and all the servants in the mansion were drugged, and they didn't wake up until the afternoon, and when they entered the sea of fire, King Wu had already been burned to black charcoal!" ”

King Wei had already known the news, and when he looked at the shocked crowd on the side, he immediately asked, "What do you think?" King Wu was assassinated, assassinated at this juncture! ”

The rest of the people also learned the news, and their faces changed again and again, and they didn't know what to say, everyone's faces showed different looks.

The official continued: "There is also a small servant in the Wu Wangfu who said that the Turks assassinated the King of Wu, and the person who is the leader is called Ashina!" ”

King Wei's face was completely unsightly, and he pulled the official's collar and said, "You mean, it was the Turks who killed King Wu?" Is the message reliable? ”

The official was also frightened by King Wei's face, and hurriedly said: "Reliable and reliable, the news was told to me by my brother-in-law, he is on duty in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and the person he knows who reported to the official is King Wu's personal servant, it must be right!" ”

King Wei only felt 10,000 arrows stuck in his chest, and hurriedly shouted to the departing soldier, wanting him not to go, but this person was long gone, King Wei hurriedly looked at the little guy on the side and said: "You go and tell Commander Duan, let him and his people keep last night's incident secret, don't tell others that I let them let go of the Turks, otherwise I won't be able to wash this black cauldron!" ”

The little servant was ordered to leave, and the strategists on the side were also confused, looking at King Wei and saying, "Isn't this done by King Wei?" ”

King Wei's eyes widened, and after watching the strategist on the side give him a fierce kick and kick this person to the ground, King Wei roared angrily: "Of course it's not this king, how can this king think about killing his own brother, and he is still colluding with foreign enemies!" ”

The strategist also leaked an expression that I understood, and hurriedly said: "So-and-so, so-and-so!" ”

The rest of the officials also bent down and said, "Your Royal Highness King Wei, please rest assured, we are completely unaware at this time, and we have nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" ”

King Wei only felt that his head was about to get bigger, he listened to the words of King Wu and King Chu, and thought about stealing the test questions and inserting a few more of his own people in the court, but he didn't expect that King Wu would be assassinated, and at this time his subordinates thought it was his own doing, so wouldn't anyone outside think of it?
