Chaoge, Gongzi and Fudi.

Kui Duoyou, led by a family servant, walked into the main hall of the backyard. Gongzihe was already waiting here, and when he saw him coming, he got up to greet him: "Brother Duoyou, you have been back for many days, and I only have time to chat with you today, which is really a good deal." ”

In the face of his enthusiasm, Kui Duoyou just returned the salute respectfully: "What did Childe say?" Duoyou is just a child's door, how can it be enough? It is really deserved to be treated so favorably by the prince! ”

Childe and he were stunned, in the past, Kui Duoyou and him have always been up and down, mingling, when did they become so raw and polite? He felt a sour feeling in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "In the past, Brother Duoyou would never talk to me like this, it seems that he really broke up with me?" ”

Kui Duoyou didn't know what to say, and the two were relatively speechless for a while. Wei He sighed lightly: "Actually, I know that my eldest brother is still blaming me for the slippery matter." I have nothing to defend this for. On that day, Uncle Yu's words were just that the eldest brother was afraid that there would be actions that were unfavorable to me, and Mrs. Mother made such an arrangement just in case of foolproof. When I saw that Uncle Yu left his parents and children as my stand-in, I had the idea of luck in my heart, but unexpectedly, all this happened so tragically. Brother Duoyou complains about me, and it should be, and there is nothing to say. ”

He bowed deeply to Kui Duoyou and said, "And make amends to the eldest brother." ”

"Why does Childe need to be so polite? Tayo is an ominous person, and his fate should be like this. Kui Duoyou helped him up, and a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wherever I go, disaster will befall me, isn't Childe afraid?" ”

Wei He was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I haven't reported to the eldest brother yet, there is news on the grassland." ”

Kui Duoyou's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

"The daughter of King Kui Rong has married the king of Wuzhong as a side concubine, and Kui Nu has become the new king, and now he is stepping up military training, and it seems that these two generals will join forces to go south in a big way, which is not conducive to my defense of the country."

"Really?" Kui Duoyou muttered, and said in his heart: I abandoned my cousin when I was in danger, and now what face do you have to accuse Yu Weihe? When I think about it, I feel relieved.

Speaking of which, the awkward atmosphere of Shicai was easily alleviated. Wei He was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw Gongsun Yu running from afar, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat beads on his head, so he hurriedly saluted: "Son, Madame urgently summons you, enter the palace quickly!" ”

Seeing him in such a hurry, Wei He felt wondering in his heart: "Did something happen?" ”

"Well," Gongsun Yu knelt down and played: "Ho Jing has sent an obituary, and the king has ------ the king!" ”

"What?" Wei He and Kui Duoyou glanced at each other, both surprised and frightened.

Gongzi and hurriedly entered the Wei Palace, and his mother, Mrs. Qi, had already cleared the rest of the people, leaving only one Gongsun Yu'an to sit at the table, and the two had been waiting for him for nearly an hour.

Seeing him coming, Gongsun Yu still did not change his face and was calm, but Mrs. Qi was not determined enough, and before he could finish asking for peace, he left the table and pulled his son, with an excited face: "It's good now." As soon as the man heard the news, he immediately summoned Dr. Shi to the palace, and the two have been discussing it until now, but they have not come up with an idea. Hum! No matter who you send, it's my son's chance. ”

"Isn't my brother going to go to Hokyo in person?" Wei He was a little hesitant, as the new Marquis of Wei, the princes surnamed Ji, if he didn't even attend Zhou Tianzi's funeral in person, it would be too much to say!

"That's Madame's plan." Gongsun Yu stood up respectfully: "If Marquis Wei is jealous of his wife and son, and sends Doctor Shi to go, it will naturally be a great disrespect to the Zhou royal family; If he went in person, the country would be empty, and naturally it would also give Gongzi a chance to establish his prestige. ”

"But what if my brother sends me?" Thinking of Kui Duoyou being robbed and killed on the slippery ground, Wei He's heart trembled a little.

Mrs. Qi sneered: "Don't worry, I know that I have spent a lot of time for my mother these days." Now there are rumors in Chaoge City, everyone says that Wei Hou wants to cut down my mother and son to the roots, and the words are terrifying, forgive him for not daring to do this risky move. What's more, my son is the prince's companion, and now that the prince is on the throne, can he not take this into account? ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi proudly remembered the move she had arranged first, and slowly raised her head and said, "In my opinion, he will definitely go to Hojing in person." When he arrives at the royal city, hum, he will feel better. ”

Wei He heard what his mother said, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that my mother also has an arrangement in Hojing?" ”

Mrs. Qi quickly exchanged glances with Gongsun Yu and replied, "That's it, it's okay to tell you." On the second day of your return to the court, I repaired two letters and sent them to the East Palace and the Zhaoguo Mansion respectively. Count the days, and it's about to arrive. The prince and I are like brothers, and I heard that Zhaogong has already bowed to Kui Duoyou, so that the two of them know that Wei Yu has done a good thing on the slippery ground, and there will be no good fruit for him to eat! ”

As she spoke, somehow, Mrs. Qi suddenly diverged her thoughts and muttered: "After the national funeral, the crown prince will officially ascend the throne, and the Duke of Zhou has declined, and the Duke of Zhou is in charge of the state alone." Or the queen has the foresight, and she placed the woman with her surname in the Zhaogong Mansion and the East Palace early, and others don't even think about it. is worthy of being the daughter of Jing Ji, and she has a wrist ------"

It's a pity that Wei He didn't think so, as soon as he heard that his mother had sent a letter to Haojing, his expression suddenly withered: "Mother, how did you make your own decision and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhaogong about this?" Why don't you discuss it with me? ”

Gongsun Yu felt strange: "Son, is there anything wrong with this matter?" ”

"No, no------ it's just that the prince and I are very affectionate, I ------ my own business, and I don't want to use his hand to suppress my brother. I'm sorry for Brother Duoyou, I'm ------ I don't want to take advantage of my friends anymore! ”

"What do you know?" Mrs. Qi was displeased: "Your eldest brother wants to kill you, are you still afraid that others will know?" Being a mother is just telling the truth, what is there to use and not to use? It's so ugly. Does it mean that Wei Yu has a happy life in Hojing, sits on the throne in front of the princes of the world, receives the reward of the new king, and swaggers back to the court, so that he can be worthy of his friends? What do little ones know? ”

Gongsun Yu hurriedly played a round: "Madame is angry." The son is kind and sincere, this is his benefit, and it is because of this that he has won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, right? When he grows up, after some things, he will naturally understand Madame's hard work. ”

Mrs. Qi's face turned slightly pale, and she asked instead, "Look, will Wei Yu go to Hojing in person?" ”

"Eighty or ninety percent will go in person. If he refuses to go, it will not only be rude, but he will also deeply offend the new king. Either way, Yu Gongzi is advantageous. ”

Sure enough, in the council hall of the main hall of the Wei Palace, as soon as they met, Shi Jiao proposed to let the young son Wei He go to Hojing instead of the eldest brother, but Wei Yu didn't think about it, so he refused. In fact, he didn't want to do this, and sent Wei and Hojing to relieve his wife's troubles, and with his relationship with the crown prince, he could easily gain the understanding of the new king. But no!

First, there was a performance of Mrs. Qi at the funeral of the first marquis, and then there was a funeral for the eldest son of Gongsun Yu's family with great fanfare, which was to tell the people of the whole dynasty that their mother and son were the thorns in the eyes of the new marquis, and they wanted to get rid of it quickly. At this moment, if he forcibly sends guards and envoys, rumors will fly all over the sky, and I don't know what kind of moths the difficult stepmother will make? Thinking about it, Wei Yu only felt a headache.

"Then, let the minister send the envoy to Hojing. The crown prince and Zhaogong are to blame, and the ministers have repeatedly made amends, that is. Shi Jiao had no choice but to retreat: "If the prince leaves the country at this time, then Mrs. Jun will definitely have an incident, and the minister is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation at that time!" ”

"How can the widow not know? However, with the name of the mother-in-law in front, the widow is also in a dilemma! Wei Yu looked helpless, he felt for the first time that he did not hesitate to take on the throne obtained by killing his brother and forcing his mother, but in fact, the taste was not enough: "But the widow thought about it carefully, this time he can only go to Hojing by himself!" ”

"Why is this, prince? Could it be ------?" asked Shi Jiao tentatively.

Wei Yu sighed: "Do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very good personal relationship with his younger brother Wei He, and the two of them lie down together in the East Palace. Not to mention that Kui Duoyou and Zhaozi Mu have already sworn to each other, and the widow is only worried that the matter of slipping has already spread to Hojing. If the widow does not go to Hojing in person, I am afraid that the new king and Zhaogong will have more reasons to embarrass the widow and embarrass me to defend the country. And as a new marquis, if he does not attend the funeral ceremony of the Yi Kingdom, what face is listed in the big country surnamed Ji? In the future, when I meet with the rest of the Central Plains princes, I am afraid that I will not be able to raise my head. This time, I have to go in person! ”

Speaking of which, Shi Jiao also knew that it was useless to persuade him: "Even so, the prince has to take precautions. If the lady followed the example of the slippery ground and set up an ambush on the road, what should the prince do? This matter has to be prevented! ”

Wei Yu thought about it, and said after a while: "In this way, he will take away 3,000 Chaoge defenders and use them as guards on the road." ”

Shi Jiao clapped his hands and praised: "This is wonderful." Weakening the Chaoge defenders can also prevent Mrs. Jun from instigating it, and the ministers can rest assured. ”

In the harem, a small chamberlain knelt on the ground and whispered, and Mrs. Yi smiled slightly and nodded to let her go down to receive the reward. Turning his face to Gongsun Yu, he said, "Sure enough, as Mr. expected, Wei Yu decided to go to Hojing in person." In this way, we must make good use of this time and plan well for He'er. ”

"No! Everything was as Madame expected. ”

It is the spring ploughing season, and the fields in the north of the country are busy. Farmers are busy plowing the frozen winter land with oxen, whips and rakes in their hands, so as to sow seeds for this year's crops. Although it was just the beginning of spring, the men began to work at dawn, and by sunrise they were already sweating profusely.

Suddenly, the peasants felt a slight vibration in the ground under their feet, and the cattle let out an alert "moo" sound.
