Wei Tiangang rolled over and sat up with his forehead on his back.

I slept extremely comfortably.

The elderly Wei Tiangang hadn't felt that sleeping would be so comfortable for a long time.

Because sleeping is something that anyone can do.

And you can sleep every day.

Wei Tiangang, who always loves to wake up at night in the middle of the night, doesn't like to sleep very much.

Because by all indications, he is old.

Whether Lao Ji is in charge or not, he has to admit that his inability to do so is his truest state.

All he asked for was a steady word.

Therefore, in his heart, he did not want the King of Shu to take the initiative to use troops against Jingzhou.

If Jingzhou comes to attack, just fight back.

The king of Shu has the ambition to swallow the world, but he Wei Tiangang does not have the courage to unify the country's soldiers.

It's still the same sentence, and it's powerless.

So what can he Wei Tiangang get?

He couldn't even sleep soundly for a night, and often thought about candles in the second half of the night.

As a courtier, it is natural to figure out what you want.

Wei Tiangang, who has followed two generations of Shu kings, knows the way of kings and ministers better than anyone else, and knows how to sit more firmly in his position.

So when he showed his reluctance to use troops against Jingzhou, the king of Shu could only have a little resentment against him in his heart, and more, he still understood his old age.

Besides, what he Wei Tiangang said was reasonable.

Even if he Wei Tiangang swore in front of the King of Shu that he was willing to fight for Bazhou, there would be no premise for long-term planning.

The king of Shu will control people, and he will also serve the king.

Compared with Feng Yuan, Wei Tiangang prefers Lu Yiping.

Because Lu Yiping was very peaceful, his eyes only looked at his bowl, and he never thought about anything else.

The King of Shu promoted Feng Yuan to be the deputy marshal, largely because he took a fancy to Feng Yuan's Qingyun Sect mastery.

Rubbing his temples a few times, Wei Tiangang didn't know how long he had slept this night.

stood up and walked out of the inner room to find that Fan Liye was no longer there.

The little eunuch who had been waiting saw Wei Tiangang come out, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Wei Shuai, the second highness has gone down to the main hall and let the little one wait here." ”

Glancing at the little eunuch, Wei Tiangang asked, "This little father-in-law, how long has Ben Shuai been asleep?"

The little eunuch thought for a moment and said, "It's been about an hour and a half. ”

Wei Tiangang frowned, in this way, His Royal Highness should have arrived at the palace soon.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "When did the Second Highness go to the main hall, but is there something wrong?"

The little eunuch replied: "Back to Wei Shuai, it was Mr. Jia who came back, when the little one came to pass the word, Wei Shuai had just fallen asleep, and the second highness said that Wei Shuai had not rested well in recent days, so he went to the main hall to see Mr. Jia, and left the little one here." ”

Wei Tiangang nodded, then got up and went to the main hall.

After arriving at the main hall, Wei Tiangang did not see Fan Liye.

He asked someone to find Gao Shou, only to learn that Fan Liye and Jia Nanfeng went to meet Fan Jiangong.

Wei Tiangang didn't move, just waited quietly in the main hall.

That high throne will soon have its new owner.

Wei Tiangang really doesn't look down on his grandson-in-law.

Fortunately, Wei Qingqing said a lot of good things about Fan Jiangong in front of him, at least, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is wholeheartedly devoted to her.

The sentence that Wei Tiangang asked Fan Liye before was not untargeted.

The little caution in Fan Liye's heart still couldn't hide his eyes.

Being able to choose Lu Yiping shows that he Fan Liye is not stupid.

But Wei Tiangang didn't want Fan Liye to really become Lu Yiping's son-in-law.

He saw unwillingness, longing, and disdain in Fan Liye's eyes.

And the target of that trace of disdain is his eldest brother Fan Liye, the new master of Bazhou, Fan Jiangong.

Someone brought tea, Wei Tiangang took a sip, thinking about the current matter.

Why did Jia Nanfeng come back?

Lu Yiping, didn't there be an accident there?

But if there was an accident, why didn't Fan Liye send someone to wake him up immediately?

Wei Tiangang was a little upset.

He didn't think about it anymore.

If you don't have a clue about the past, think about the present, the future.

After waiting in the main hall for half an hour, a little eunuch quickly came in and reported, "Qi Wei Shuai, His Royal Highness is back." ”

Wei Tiangang hurriedly got up and walked out.

————————————————

Seeing that Fan Jiangong was not angry, Jia Nanfeng knew that he had made the right bet.

After listening to Fan Jiangong's words, Feng Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, this matter is just a conjecture, Wei Shuai, as the commander of my Bazhou soldiers and horses, has a high position and power, and must be treated with caution. ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "Vice Marshal Feng is reasonable. ”

After speaking, he looked at Fan Liye and said, "Little Er, does Wei Shuai know that Mr. Jia has returned?"

Fan Liye thought for a while and said, "I should know it now." ”

Fan Jiangong turned his head to look at Jia Nanfeng and said, "Mr. Jia, after meeting Wei Shuai for a while, he will definitely ask you the reason, and you will tell him about Lu Yiping and see how he reacts." ”

Jia Nanfeng nodded.

Feng Yuan said on the side: "Yiping has won Wei Shuai's trust, and it is inevitable that Wei Shuai will have doubts in his heart, but I am afraid that Uncle Shi will still be suspicious of Wei Shuai." ”

Jia Nanfeng sneered and said: "I, Jia Nanfeng, act frankly and openly, even if he Lu Yiping comes, I dare to confront him face to face, I don't believe it, he Lu Yiping can still say that the black is white, and it is not possible to reverse right and wrong?"

Fan Jiangong muttered: "Mr. Jia, since the matter has been revealed, presumably he Lu Yiping will definitely defend Pingnan City and will not come to Ziyang City again, so it will be clear which is right and which is wrong." As for Wei Shuai, as long as others are in Ziyang City, I am still afraid that he will set off any storms?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, if I were him Lu Yiping, I would definitely come to Ziyang City again." ”

Fan Jiangong was puzzled: "Why? Isn't he throwing himself into the net when he comes again?"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Fan Liye and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, think about it, if he Lu Yiping doesn't come to Ziyang City, doesn't it just mean that he has a problem?

Fan Liye nodded and said to Fan Jiangong: "Big brother, what Mr. Jia said is true, General Lu will definitely return to Ziyang City again." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we'll wait for him to come to the net." ”

Fan Liye asked again: "Big brother, where is Wei Shuai?"

Fan Jiangong thought for a while and said: "This matter is simple, when we capture Lu Yiping, everything will be solved." ”

After saying this, he said to Feng Yuan again: "Vice Marshal Feng, if there is a change in the city, the safety of the palace depends on you. ”

Feng Yuan arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, rest assured!"

At this time, Jia Nanfeng smiled and said: "Your Highness, just rest assured, the old man can protect Wei Shuai and stay by his side, if Wei Shuai has any misdeeds, the old man should capture him." ”

Fan Liye hurriedly said, "How can Mr. Jia be in danger?"

Jia Nanfeng said: "Second Highness, rest assured, the old man still has some ability to protect himself." ”

While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the palace.

Ning Kai said outside the carriage: "Your Highness, the palace has arrived!"

Ordered people to stand in two rows, and waited outside the carriage respectfully.

Several people got out of the carriage one after another.

Fan Jiangong, who was the leader, whispered to Fan Liye: "Little Er, you should accompany me first or go to see your father's body first!"

Fan Liye nodded.

Fan Jiangong said to Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng again: "Vice Marshal Feng, you and Mr. Jia will go to the main hall and wait for me first. ”

The two nodded yes.

At this time, Jia Nanfeng asked, "Your Highness, what if you meet Wei Shuai?"

Fan Jiangong chuckled and said: "If he asks, you can just tell the truth, as for believing it or not, in him, His Highness just wants to see his reaction." ”

After speaking, several people entered the palace.

Before entering the mansion, Fan Jiangong glanced at Ning Kai.

Ning Kai saw that gaze and was overjoyed.

It was an approving look.

Wei Tiangang didn't walk very fast, and when he saw Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng walking towards him from a distance, he stopped.

After a little thought, he understood.

As it should be.

Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng also saw Wei Tiangang waiting there.

After approaching, Feng Yuan arched his hand and smiled, "I've seen Wei Shuai!"

Jia Nanfeng also bowed his hand to Wei Tiangang.

Wei Tiangang, who already knew that Jia Nanfeng had returned, nodded to him and returned the salute, without saying anything, but smiled at Feng Yuan: "Vice Marshal Feng fought beautifully in this battle, and he was able to kill 10,000 Tubo people, which is really happy." ”

After finishing speaking, he remembered that the king of Shu had already died, and sighed and said: "The king once told me that after you return, you must be praised heavily, but it's a pity, alas~"

After sighing, he turned around and said, "This matter is not the place to speak, let's go, let's go to the main hall and wait for the two highnesses." ”

Feng Yuan also said with a sad look on his face: "Wei Shuai, I'm ...... Alas, I didn't expect to go to Liangcheng here, and then come back to say goodbye to the king and the heavens. ”

Wei Tiangang sighed again, stopped talking, and walked forward.

After arriving at the main hall, the three of them sat down.

Feng Yuan and Wei Tiangang sat next to each other, followed by Jia Nanfeng.

There was some silence in the main hall.

Seeing that Wei Tiangang didn't ask why he returned, Jia Nanfeng was a little surprised in his heart, so he said: "Wei Shuai, I went to Pingnan City with Yiping, and there were some accidents on the way, so I returned early before I arrived in Pingnan City. ”

"Oh?

Wei Tiangang glanced at Jia Nanfeng over Feng Yuan and asked, "Presumably Mr. Jia has already told His Highness about this!"

Jia Nanfeng nodded and said: "When I returned, Wei Shuai was taking a nap, and His Royal Highness was afraid of disturbing Wei Shuai's rest, so he didn't wake up Wei Shuai. ”

Wei Tiangang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for the main hall to come down, and then discuss it." ”

Feng Yuan couldn't help but speak: "Wei Shuai, I don't know what you think in your heart, for me Feng Yuan, although Yiping is my junior brother, I still can't help but say a word, now that he has committed such a big rebellion, we should arrest him as soon as possible to comfort the king's spirit in the sky." ”

Wei Tiangang was stunned for a moment, looked at Feng Yuan and said, "What does Vice Marshal Feng mean by this? Is it true that Yuan Xi killed the king, so you can conclude that Yiping wants to assassinate the king, so as not to be too arbitrary, right?"

As if thinking of something, Wei Tiangang looked at Jia Nanfeng and said, "Mr. Jia, what happened when you and Yiping went to Pingnan City?"

Jia Nanfeng stood up, arched his hand to Wei Tiangang and said, "Wei Shuai doesn't know, it's a fluke that I can return to Ziyang City with my whole body this time." ”

Wei Tiangang frowned and asked, "Mr. Jia, with your skills, no one in our Bazhou can keep you!"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Did Wei Shuai forget Yuan Xi?"

"Yuan Xi?"

Wei Tiangang thought for a while, stood up and said, "You mean, Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi have teamed up to fight against you?"

Jia Nanfeng nodded and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I had been on guard against Yuan Xi's appearance all the way, I was afraid that I would really be on the path of the two of them." ”

Wei Tiangang turned his head to look at Feng Yuan and asked, "Vice Marshal Feng, as Yiping's senior brother, do you also think that he can do this act of killing the monarch?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Wei Shuai, this matter is my uncle's personal experience, how can you not believe it?"

Wei Tiangang was silent for a moment and said: "This is true, in this case, I ordered you to take all the people to Pingnan City to capture it, are you willing?"

Feng Yuan's eyes rolled, and then he got up and said, "Why not? After the period of the king's great funeral, I will immediately order troops to go to Pingnan City. ”

Wei Tiangang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wei Tiangang sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup, and drank slowly.

When Lu Yiping took out the sunspot from the head of the King of Shu, Wei Tiangang almost decided that Yuan Xi was the real murderer.

As for the little eunuch's words, if this person is not in the same party, maybe he just didn't see it clearly.

He didn't believe it anymore anyway.

But he believed in Lu Yiping.

What's more, when all the words came from Jia Nanfeng's mouth, there was no reason for him not to think about it.

As Lu Yiping said, all of this seems to be more like a conspiracy.

And the creator of this conspiracy is none other than this Jia Nanfeng.

But he couldn't say anything.

Being in a high position, he knows what to say and what not to say. When to say it and when not to say it.

Adapting to change is the best choice.

The hall fell silent again.

Wei Tiangang, who was preoccupied, didn't even have the heart to say a few words of greeting Feng Yuan.

Fan Jiangong and Fan Liye walked into the main hall.

Both eyes are red.

Seeing the two princes enter the hall, the three of them got up to greet them.

Fan Jiangong walked quickly towards Wei Tiangang, saluted and said, "Jiangong has seen grandpa." ”

Wei Tiangang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Highness, this is a torture for the old minister." ”

Fan Jiangong shook his head and said: "Wei Shuai, when my father was alive, he told me and Xiao Er that he could sit on the throne safely, all thanks to Wei Shuai's dedicated assistance by his side. In the eyes of my father, you are just like his uncle, and it is natural for you to call you a grandfather, besides, I am your grandson-in-law, this grandfather, you must be called. ”

Wei Tiangang sighed, waved his hand, turned his back, and was so choked up that he couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, Feng Yuan said: "Your Highness, please mourn!"

Fan Jiangong nodded.

Wei Tiangang raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, turned around, and half-knelt and saluted: "Wei Tiangang, the commander of the Bazhou soldiers and horses, has seen the king!"

Fan Jiangong was stunned for a moment, and then Feng Yuan and Jia Nanfeng both knelt on the ground.

"Feng Yuan, deputy marshal of Bazhou soldiers and horses, have seen the king!"

"Jia Nanfeng, the deputy head of the Qingyun Sect, has seen the king!"

Fan Liye was also stunned, it turned out that it was such a simple matter for the eldest brother to become the king of Shu.

After hesitating for a moment, he also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Brother Fan Liye, I have seen the king!"

Inside the main hall, the voice of "I have seen the king" came one after another.

Ning Kai, who was kowtowing outside the hall, was a little regretful.

Fan Jiangong suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He held back the ecstasy in his heart, helped Wei Tiangang up and said, "Why does Wei Shuai have to make such a big gift, this is for Qingqing to know, and he should let this world ...... Ben Wang slept in the study. ”

He said this in passing.

Wei Tiangang stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and please take a seat." ”

Fan Jiangong glanced back a few times, then turned around and strode forward.

Hou Mink Temple, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly got up, trotted behind Fan Jiangong, bowed his body, and followed.

After stepping onto the throne, Fan Jiangong said loudly: "Let's be flat!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Jiangong was a little dissatisfied in his heart, although his voice was loud, but his middle qi was insufficient, and there was a slight trill, which was much worse than his father Wang.

He couldn't help but look at Wei Tiangang.

Wei Tiangang nodded at him.

Everyone got up, Fan Jiangong looked at Fan Liye and said, "Little Er, come, move a chair and sit next to Brother Wang!"

Fan Liye hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the younger brother doesn't dare!"

Fan Jiangong said with a smile: "What don't you dare? Brother Wang asked you to sit next to the widow, could it be that there are still people who dare to play right and wrong? You are the widow's younger brother, now that my father has gone first, if Brother Wang, I can't even protect my own brother, how can I protect the people of Bazhou?"

After speaking, he gave Hou Mink Temple a look.

Hou Mink Temple hurriedly moved a chair and placed it on the right side of the throne.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Fan Liye bowed down and saluted: "Thank you, the king!"

After saying that, he walked up to the stage and half sat down in a chair.

Fan Jiangong said to the standing people: "Sit down, there are still two important things to do at the moment, it just so happens that Wei Shuai and Vice Marshal Feng are here, let's discuss it." ”

Wei Tiangang opened his mouth first, "Your Majesty, the funeral of the first king cannot be delayed, according to the old minister, let's mourn tomorrow, so that the first king can be buried in peace." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "What Wei Shuai said is extremely true, this matter is ......"

After pondering for a moment, he turned his head to look at Fan Liye and said, "I think I'll leave it to Xiao Er to go to Zhang Luo." ”

Fan Liye was stunned for a moment, then got up and said, "Obey the king's orders!"

After sitting down, Fan Liye snorted coldly in his heart.

Fan Jiangong looked at Wei Tiangang again and said, "Wei Shuai, what do you think about the assassination of the first king?"

Wei Tiangang knew that Fan Jiangong would definitely ask him.

After thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the events of that day have been clear, that Yuan Xi was the real murderer of the assassination of the first king, and this person escaped in the palace, which was the fault of the old minister, and the old minister is willing to accept the punishment." ”

At this time, Jia Nanfeng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Shuai, I wanted to fish out the person behind Yuan Xi, so I deliberately let him go." ”

Wei Tiangang glanced at Jia Nanfeng.

Fan Jiangong said: "Wei Shuai, I also heard Mr. Jia say that Yuan Xi was strong in martial arts at a young age, and he also made a secret weapon with a magical hand, and you are not to blame for this matter." As for this person being able to escape, Mr. Jia also said that he did it on purpose, not your fault. Speaking of which......"

After a pause, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Did he Lu Yiping be poured ecstasy soup by someone?

The palms of his hands were a little hot, Fan Jiangong gritted his teeth in pain, and regretted that he had used too much strength.

Seeing that the new king was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Wei Tiangang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to what the old minister has seen, you can order Vice Marshal Feng to take all the soldiers and horses to Pingnan City and capture him. ”

Fan Jiangong, who originally thought that Wei Tiangang would say a few words for Lu Yiping, didn't expect Wei Tiangang to say such a thing.

He glanced at Fan Liye.

Fan Liye understood and said to Wei Tiangang: "Wei Shuai, if we rashly send troops, will it cause civil strife in our Bazhou? Jingzhou in the east is eyeing the tiger, and I am afraid that we will take this opportunity to attack. ”

Wei Tiangang snorted lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent heavy troops to guard Yunshang City, but I am afraid that he will not dare to come to Jingzhou." As for Pingnan City, His Royal Highness is not unreasonable. ”

At this time, Feng Yuan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, at the moment, we don't know why Yiping will assassinate the first king with Yuan Xi, maybe he is forced by others, maybe he is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, if we send troops to Pingnancheng like this, the actual number is not appropriate, in my opinion, the king can send an edict to him, ordering him to come and mourn the first king." If he dares to come, we can take the opportunity to control him and ask the truth. ”

Fan Jiangong asked rhetorically, "Then what if he doesn't come?"

Feng Yuan said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't come, it means that he has a ghost in his heart, then I will personally lead the troops to Pingnan City to capture him." ”

After speaking, Feng Yuan looked at Wei Tiangang and said, "Wei Shuai, there is no trouble in Liangcheng right now, in my opinion, I can order Ma Yichao to lead all the way to Pingnan City to help me." ”

Wei Tiangang asked, "Could it be that Vice Marshal Feng thinks that he is invincible to Lu Yiping?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not true, but I'm not sure if he Lu Yiping has other backs." ”

Hearing Feng Yuan mention Ma Yichao, Fan Jiangong remembered that water bead.

He opened his mouth and said: "Vice Marshal Feng's suggestion is good, so send someone to Pingnancheng to send an urgent report as soon as possible, and order him to come to the palace immediately." ”

————————————————

After nearly half the way out of Pingnan City, the messenger sent by Ziyang City met Lu Yiping and his party.

The person who delivered the letter was selected by Feng Yuan from his command.

When the letter arrived, he hurried back.

Lu Yiping took a look at the letter, and said to Wu Zhong and Zheng Shuyuan behind him: "His Royal Highness has inherited the throne, and the new king ordered me to go and mourn the first king." ”

Wu Zhong thought for a while and said: "General, this letter is strange, you have seen the first king with your own eyes, even if the palace does not issue an edict, if there is no accident, you will definitely go to the royal capital." ”

At this time, a figure appeared in front of Lu Yiping.

In order to give his daughter a little more time to be happy, when Lu Yiping left Pingnan City, he did not wait for Yuan Xi.

Seeing Yuan Xi appear, Lu Yiping smiled and asked, "Just catch up?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "I caught up soon after leaving the city, but I was afraid of an accident, so I never showed up." ”

Lu Yiping nodded and handed the edict in his hand to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi quickly glanced at it a few times, returned it to Lu Yiping, pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Lu, I'm afraid that in the eyes of this new king, you are already the mastermind of the assassination of the first king." ”

Lu Yiping turned over and dismounted, and said to Yuan Xi: "You guessed correctly, it seems that he Jia Nanfeng succeeded." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Uncle Lu, what should I do? If you go, won't you be caught in the net?"

Lu Yiping chuckled and said: "Yuan Xi, if I don't go, I will do what he wants, think about it, if he Jia Nanfeng wants to kill me, I will be killed that night." Only if I go can I prove my innocence. ”

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Uncle Lu, but it's ......."

Lu Yiping patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said: "It's nothing, the clear is self-purifying, Yuan Xi, don't worry, uncle, I am not a reckless person, I will not send him to death easily." ”

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "Uncle Lu, I also know that you should go, but I always feel that since you know that you should go, can he Jia Nanfeng not know? ”

Lu Yiping laughed a few times and said: "What are you afraid of? Don't forget, when Ye Bei's little father-in-law told the truth that day, there were still Wei Shuai and the Second Highness present, even if the Second Highness didn't believe you, but Wei Shuai, we still had hope." ”

After speaking, he took out a written letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Xi and said: "This letter is a secret letter I wrote to Wei Shuai, I know that you can sneak in, find an opportunity, go and explain it to Wei Shuai, according to my judgment, only Wei Shuai can believe me." ”

Yuan Xi took the letter into his arms, nodded and said, "Uncle Lu, don't worry, even if he Jia Nanfeng is in Wei Shuai's mansion, I can still escape." ”

Lu Yiping patted Yuan Xi's shoulder and said, "Go ahead! Be careful!"

Yuan Xi's figure flashed and disappeared into the woods on the side of the road.

Lu Yiping stood stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
