Chapter 65: Iron Wrist (Again, Giggle)
Wei Chigong's brother Wei Chi Xu is much older than him, and he was seriously ill once when he was a child, which caused the calf to atrophy and stunted development, and when he grew up, his legs were disabled and his body was not very strong.
Wei Chixu knew that he was unworthy of the position of prince, and even if he was the eldest son, he still withdrew from the competition for the prince early.
In the year of the weak crown, in order not to hinder Wei Chigong, and for the sake of the country, he even asked to go to the border pass where wars were frequent, and defended one side with the body of the prince.
One blow shattered the rest of the princes who had different intentions in the capital, and these people could only put away their thoughts and divide them with hatred.
Four or five years ago, in the eventful autumn, there was a sudden flooding in the south, and the official ships transporting grain sank several ships in this section.
But at this time, there was a war report from the border pass, and a small group of brothers frequently harassed them, and the place of invasion was the place where Brother Wei Chigong was guarding.
At that time, Wei Chi Gong's disaster relief, investigation of corruption, and the chaos of the revolution and Qingcao were in a critical period, and he had no time to care about anything else, only thinking that this time the enemy was attacking and harassing as usual.
Accidents were frequent, and the emperor was short of energy and anxious, so he handed over the border affairs to the military department for disposal.
When the matter in the south of Wei Chi Gong was in full swing, he received bad news one after another, first the border pass emergency report, the original small group of Xiongnu harassment, turned into a large-scale attack, menacing.
Immediately afterwards, I received the news of the sudden death of my brother and the urgent situation at the border gate, and then the first emperor heard the news and vomited blood and fainted on the main hall, and the prince who was divided was about to move.
More than half a month has passed since these news reached his ears, the court is in turmoil, and the internal and external situation is critical.
It is still the queen's queen mother who endures the grief and guards the front harem with her own strength, barely supporting it.
Wei Chi couldn't care about his grief, endured the idea of going to the border pass in person, transferred the surrounding battalion troops, and clarified the greed for ink with the power of thunder in two days.
While grabbing and interrogating, cutting and copying, the copied out of the greedy ink silver and grain and grass were divided into two, one went to disaster relief, and the other went to the border.
The matter has not yet been concluded, Wei Chi Gong couldn't stay too long, left his henchmen, assigned a few officials to deal with the aftermath, led five hundred elite soldiers to the north, and quickly whipped up the starry night, and returned to the capital with many plots on the way to take over the burden from the queen mother.
Since then, the prince has been in charge of the country!
Calm the hearts of the people floating in the court with an iron and bloody hand, and smash the conspiracy and tricks of the vassal king with a thousand powers.
Dispatch troops, appoint generals, agree on a plan to attack the enemy, use a new bow and crossbow, defeat the invading enemy, and beat the Huns to the ground and rush to Mobei, even the old nest does not dare to go back.
So far, the position of the prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to covet it.
After the war, the household department made a careful calculation, and the treasury was quite full, and the stolen money confiscated by Cao Yun made up a lot, which shows that Cao Yun has been greedy for ink for many years.
The first emperor got up from that time and was not as good as before, and Wei Chigong unusually reined in his edge, and waited for the first emperor to be a little healthy, and after a long secret conversation with the first emperor, he suddenly retired to the court, and lived in seclusion for a long time without showing up until the first emperor died.
Wei Chigong went to the court at the age of eleven to observe politics, emerged at the age of fourteen or fifteen, appeared at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and then faded out of sight, and ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of nineteen and twenty.
The people don't know much about what the prince did during the period, but they only know that the prince is very powerful.
Just like in the Cao Yun corruption case, the corrupt official killed had his quasi-father-in-law's family.
Wei Chigong broke into it with soldiers and horses, was full of slaughter, and ordered the family of his father-in-law to be copied, without mercy, and killed many crimes on the spot.
The people naturally hate corrupt officials, and what the prince did is worthy of reverence, but he is more or less afraid in his heart.
The courtiers naturally knew that today was not a vegetarian, not as benevolent, courageous and skillful as the previous emperor.
They didn't dare to forget the prince's iron-blooded wrist back then, which was really like killing a god, so when Wei Chigong ascended the throne was unprecedentedly smooth, even if he had been on the throne for three years, he didn't have an heir, and he didn't dare to put his beak.
Wu Dingbang was noticed by Wei Chigong during that turbulent period, and he was one of the officials who collected and transported the grain and grass at the end of the Caoyun case, and he did things very beautifully, so after Wei Chigong ascended the throne three years ago, he recalled people back to the capital.
It was also during that period that Mrs. Wu's mother, Mrs. Zhou, passed away, and Mrs. Wu could not go to mourn and pick up her youngest daughter.
In the past three years, Wei Chigong has been in power to focus on cultivating life and recuperation, and has not made a big move, and now he finds that the moths of the country dare to move their hands and feet in that extraordinary period, how can he not be angry?
Yu Chigong has always believed that Yu Chixu's death is not simple, even if the cause of death is seamless, he still suspects.
It's just that the doppelganger lacked skills back then, and when I looked back, I couldn't find anything, and the evidence that should be eliminated was wiped out.
He didn't give up, but three years later, little progress had been made.
Although his brother is weak and has crippled legs, he is clever, he has been low-key and unassuming since he was a child, and he is attached to the skills of the machine, and in the eyes of the courtiers, he is like a prince who is not doing his job.
When the Huns were defeated, the new bow and crossbow that Yu Chi Gong used against public opinion was sent to him by Yu Chi Xu in a letter.
Drawings were attached to the letter, and Wei Chixu said that the bow and crossbow were extremely happy, and the new bow and crossbow could fire ten arrows in a row, and the range had been greatly improved, and it was already on par with the bow and arrow, and it was much less labor-saving than the bow and arrow.
However, he was not satisfied with the strength of the project, and talked about studying it again.
In the last letter, Wei Chi Xu was extremely excited, and said in the letter that he had improved the clue, if the bow and crossbow were made, the accuracy would be good, the strength and the shooting range would be long, even if the new soldiers could use it, and a team of powerful crossbows could be cultivated in a short time, and no one would dare to attack in the future.
Unexpectedly, it was the last time to communicate, and since then heaven and man have been separated forever.
When Yu Chigong learned of the bad time, Yu Chixu had passed away, and a fire burned all his brother's hard work, and the improved strong crossbow, Yu Chigong didn't see it in the end.
Everything was too coincidental, and Wei Chigong didn't believe it was a coincidence, and every time he thought of his brother, he was grieved and unbearable.
Today, I found that someone in the military department dared to cheat at that time, which made him angry.
Remembering the death of his brother, he was sad and painful, and he was really bored and uncomfortable after criticizing the recital, so he went out for a walk in the evening, the sky was getting darker and darker, but Wei Chigong's heart was getting colder and colder, and he was unwilling to go back, and finally came to the place where his brother accompanied him to practice hard.
The pavilion in this small garden was built for him by his brother himself, saying that he was shielding him from the wind and rain.
In the dark, when Wei Chigong was reminiscing about the past, someone suddenly broke in and crashed into his arms, like a woman with a delicate body.
The woman hit the woman unfortunately, just when he was in a bad mood.
At that time, Wei Chigong's face was cold, and he was about to push the person away, and then punish the crime of collision, and he wanted to punish the person severely.
Who knew that the person in his arms bounced away one step ahead of him, and his reaction was extremely fast, and after bounced away, he lightly crossed sideways, and ran out of the small garden without looking back, like a ghost.
