Chapter 204: National Funeral
The brothers and sisters of the Wind Courtyard didn't talk for long, and the Bai family came over.
There are always endless words to say when the family is reunited, and Wei Li knew that the Liu family had already come to the door, and he was not in a hurry to go over, and when he heard that Shui had something to report, he went to the front yard meeting room.
King Hui and Concubine Yao, who were brought back, were also placed in the palace at this time, King Hui was filial, and Wei Li asked Zhou Jin to arrange a courtyard for the two of them to live in one place.
Regarding Binshan, the imperial court also issued instructions, asking Wei Li to send King Hui and Concubine Yao to the capital, and hand Binshan over to the nearest four princes, King Xian, to take care of it.
It's a pity that Wei Li didn't listen, he ignored any decree in Jingzhong, questioned the authenticity of the decree, and locked up those inner servants who passed the decree.
If you want to say that Binshan has been pointed out to the fourth prince Wei Yao, he should come over to ask for land, but the four princes are not involved, and he has no soldiers in his hands now, Wei Li will not let him wait and see, pretending to be helpless.
Queensland has been unable to attack for a long time, the imperial court and General Xi's soldiers and horses have always been pinned down there, Wei Li is now in a state of no one's care, and those people in Beijing can't reach him no matter how much they hate him.
When I went to the council chamber, Shui Xian was already waiting there.
Recently, there have been a lot of things, and Mr. Shui is also very busy, so when he came back, he went to discuss with the master, and he received a message from Beijing.
When Wei Li arrived, Mr. Shui hurriedly saluted, and waved his hand to let Zhou Jin and the others go out to guard.
"Your Highness, according to the Beijing Central News, the imperial court has issued an order to list us as rebels."
didn't even listen to a few holy decrees, Wei Li had already thought of this result, and pressed his hand and said, "Sir, be calm, don't be impatient." ”
Wei Li had already planned before resisting the decree, and now the queen and the crown prince in Beijing are also fighting to the death, and the two will work together to deal with the king of Qi because he feels that person is really a threat, but his own side ......
In their opinion, even if they are disobedient, they can't move that position, and the holy decree is like this, and if there is any action, it will be a matter later.
After all, no one cares about anyone right now.
Mr. Shui also felt that he was too worried, and seeing that his master was so calm and calm, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the chair and took two sips of tea to moisten his throat.
"Your Highness, it seems that at present, the imperial court will send troops to come soon, and our strength is limited, so we should prepare early."
Wei Li now has almost 80,000 soldiers and generals on hand, although the number is quite a lot, but they have only recently been recruited, and it will take some time to rectify the management before it can be of great use.
It's not appropriate to go to the battlefield casually, especially the soldiers and horses of King Hui who have recently been subdued, and now they are still unstable.
"I know, don't be radical, hold on, these two places, places, it's fine."
Wei Li is not in a hurry, he needs to recuperate.
It's right to recuperate, but Shui Xian is also worried about the soldiers who are in Queensland.
"Your Highness, the depths of winter have arrived, and if Queensland breaks through, it will be us who will turn the spearhead."
Queensland was besieged, all relying on self-sufficiency, there was mainly trade, and now the wealth of the king of Qi was cut off, and he couldn't withstand it for a while.
Will Queensland break?
Wei Li smiled, "Sir, don't worry." ”
Anyway, Wei Yu is also a person he recognizes, not to mention that it is a winter, even if he surrounds it for a year, he will not be able to enter the gate of Queensland.
Since the master said that there was no need to bother, Mr. Shui pinched his mustache and did not mention it again.
The two talked about the governance of Binshan again, and it was almost noon, and they were about to disperse, when Zhou Jin outside the door hurriedly entered and handed Wei Li a red urgent report.
The information coming from the outside is also graded, like this red skin is like that eight hundred miles of urgency.
Wei Li frowned, opened the small bamboo tube and took out the slip.
There are only two words on it, "National Mourning." ”
National mourning? In other words, the emperor is in the sky.
This news is shocking, both expected and unpredictable, and when it really happens, it has to make people's hearts tremble, the end of a country name, accompanied by more violent turmoil.
Wei Li handed the strip to Mr. Shui, who stretched his neck, and sat on the Taishi chair and silently sipped tea.
"Your Royal Highness, the letter I received a few days ago also said that although the emperor did not go to the court, he did not reach the point of being bedridden, and the matter ......"
Mr. Shui was a little incredulous, wondering if Emperor Chongguang, who ignored state affairs, had given a secret hand.
"Die, die!"
Wei Li didn't feel it, if you want to say anything, there is no emotion at all.
"Your Highness, this is not easy. It stands to reason that the national funeral is for the vassal king and his descendants to go back to the funeral. ”
I just sent those people in the court before, and now this kind of thing is happening.
Mr. Shui looked at his master, he could barely find an excuse to resist the decree before, if he didn't go this time, he would really become an anti-thief, in this era of filial piety first, he was still recognized as an anti-thief all over the world.
Sure enough, Wei Li's face changed when he heard this.
At noon, Ayu left her family to eat in the Tingfeng Courtyard, and she also sent someone to the front to call King Liang in advance, but Wei Li replied, but no one came.
There was more than one letter from outside, and in the afternoon, Wei Li went to the front court again, and Mr. Shui received a second creed from Beijing.
Contrary to the expected result in the morning, the imperial court issued an order to let the kings enter Beijing, not to mourn, but to leave an edict left by Emperor Chongguang.
This edict is not in the hands of the queen and the crown prince now, but in the hands of several old ministers.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongguang was confused for half his life, and he could still leave a postscript when he died.
There is no doubt that he has already chosen the heir to the throne before his death, but he doesn't know who will be spent.
It stands to reason that the crown prince will be more likely, after all, he has been in charge of the country for a long time, and he has always been cultivating as an heir.
Because of this, the situation in Beijing is now more chaotic, the queen and the prince are holding each other back, everyone wants to get the edict, but no one gets it, and finally it develops into waiting for the vassal kings from all walks of life to enter Beijing to mourn and let the edict be announced to the world.
"Your Highness, it seems that a trip to Jingzhong is inevitable."
Emperor Chongguang died, if there was no edict, it would only make the world chaotic, and all forces would move with their strength, and the winner would be the king in the end.
Now, there is an edict left in the world, and the person who succeeds to the throne becomes clear and righteous, and will naturally be supported by those princes and princes who are still loyal to the Wei family, and the world is turbulent and extinguished.
This matter is beneficial to the crown prince, and most disadvantageous to King Liang.
The king of Qi has already reversed, and after the court is stable, he will go all out to eradicate it. The good king is now in a dilemma whether to go or not.
Everything is unpredictable, a wave is not settled, and a wave rises again.
Mr. Shui stared at his master, and he couldn't solve this situation for a while.
Wei Li was silent, propped his head and lowered his eyes, and finally spoke after a long time.
"Biography, all localities, officials, into Liangzhou. Preparation, matters, no day, departure. ”
This means that you are going to prepare for Beijing.
Mr. Shui got up and arched his hand, "Take the order." ”
