Chapter 42: The Last Stand
Chaoge City, in a room in the second prince's mansion. Wei Ziyan looked at the few strands of silver hair on his eldest brother's head, but he didn't expect that after a few days, his eldest brother would age so much. All of a sudden, all kinds of emotions came to my heart. In front of his subordinates, he had always been strong in front of Zixin, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw himself into Wei Ziqi's arms and cried bitterly. The eldest prince has taken care of Wei Ziyan since he was a child, and Di Yi is busy with government affairs, and the eldest prince has always cared for and loved him like a father. This is also the most important reason why Wei Ziyan knows that the eldest prince is not that material, and has been desperate for the throne of the eldest prince. This time he was a complete failure, although he was calm at the time, and was able to lead his subordinates back to the city. But his pressure is undoubtedly huge, but he must not lose his temper in front of outsiders. Now there are only two people, him and Wei Ziqi, and when he sees his eldest brother like this, his emotions have completely collapsed. The eldest prince hugged Wei Ziyan, who was whimpering in front of him, like a wounded wolf cub. patted his back gently, and seemed to return to the days when the second prince was a child and sheltered him from the wind and rain. After such a series of changes, Wei Ziqi's heart is extraordinarily calm, and something called letting go seems to flash in his eyes. He has been locked up here for the past few days, and he has thought a lot about it during this time. I thought of my own ideas, thought of the differences between myself and my second brother, thought of my third brother, and thought of the throne. People will always grow, even if the eldest prince has always been relatively mediocre, it can be said that he is more idealistic. But after experiencing some things, you are often able to figure out a lot of things. "Second brother, why be sad, your plan has failed, isn't it a good thing. If the people are not afflicted, your sins will be much lighter. As for the throne, I don't really want to fight for it at this time, so I'll give it to the third brother. Hearing this, Wei Ziyan pushed away the arms of the eldest prince, stood up, and roared with some hatred: "What, you said that you don't fight, who came over and told me that he wanted to be a virtuous monarch and want to benefit the world." Now you can't even argue. Seeing the disappointed expression of the second brother, Wei Ziqi didn't know what to say for a while, he really didn't have any thoughts about that throne. But I don't know how to persuade the second brother to stop now. "Didn't I already make it clear to you that we have no way out, only desperate fight. Do you think Zixin will let us go, don't be too naïve to think about it. "Don't think too much of Zixin, after all, the three of us are brothers of the same father and mother. As long as we withdraw from the competition, the third brother will not start. Hearing this, Wei Ziyan smiled bitterly, "Do you think these are what we can choose for ourselves?" "Do you remember what made you come to me and say that you wanted to be the king of business?" Originally, the third brother was the son-in-law, and his talents were better than us in all aspects, think about it carefully, how could you have a chance, eldest brother." "I'm also sure that the idea of being a prince was instilled in you by your father, so what do you think your father means, does he really want you to inherit the throne?"
Hearing this, the eldest prince also frowned, yes, what kind of reason is there that the father will give himself a chance. "I think the biggest possibility is that my father wants us to fight with our son and use us as whetstones. The position of the prince may have been decided a long time ago, and you and I are just tools for my father to train Zi Xin. "How can this be, we are all sons of the father, why does the father treat us like this, isn't it too unfair. "How can there be so-called fairness in this world, he has always been a son-in-law, from the beginning, we may not have a chance. So do you think the father will let us quit like this, rather than being forced by the father like this, it is better to take the initiative in our hands. And we are not completely without opportunities, it seems to be a whetstone, but it is also an opportunity given to us by our father. If the knife is completely sharpened, is it still a whetstone?" Saying this, Wei Ziyan stared at the eldest prince tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit. At this time, Wei Ziqi knew that he was persuaded by his younger brother again. I don't want this throne anymore, but I can fight for it and give it to my second brother, and with his talent, he is much more suitable than himself, so the two of them sat down face to face again, and re-analyzed the current situation between the two parties. In fact, for now, Wei Ziqi is not completely at a disadvantage, but the two sides have different spheres of influence. Wei Ziqi chose the Wenchen represented by Shang Rong in the DPRK, while Zixin relied on the military forces led by the Huang family, and also had the opportunity to win over another giant in the army, Taishi Wenzhong, through Li Jing. This is also the biggest crisis of the current Weizi Qi side, the lack of force in hand. Once there is any emergency, there is no room for resistance in front of Zixin. Therefore, the top priority is not to let the two major forces of the military turn to Zixin. On the way back to Chaoge, although he was injured, Wei Ziyan never gave up thinking about countermeasures. God was pitiful, and he really came up with a solution. But it's also the last fight, if they fail this time, they and others will probably lose the opportunity completely. Huang Feihu has a total of three brothers, and the other two are also fierce generals although they are not as good as Huang Feihu. Among them, Huang Feihu's second brother Huang Feibiao likes this Yin Shi Niang and has been pursuing it fiercely. Wei Ziyan's strategy should be on this Huang Feibiao, he asked the eldest prince and several ministers to advise his father together, hoping to give marriage to Huang Feibiao and Shi Niang. In this way, the goal of separating Li Jing and Huang Feihu can be achieved, making it difficult for them to be in the camp of Zi Xin. Of course, this is not the key to this strategy, its true intention is to be able to force Emperor Yi's army to make a complete choice. If you agree, then the form of Weizi Qi is very good, even if Shi Niang is unwilling, it is a protest, and Li Jing will find it difficult to gain a foothold in Dashang, making Zixin lose an arm. If Di Yi doesn't agree, then Wei Ziqi will lose his prestige and completely lose his qualification to win the heir, and he and others can quit as soon as possible and be freed. This put the problems faced by the two of them directly in front of Di Yi, and let Di Yi make his own choice. In the midst of such a disadvantage, Wei Ziyan can still come up with this kind of strategy, which can be regarded as resourceful. Unfortunately, his plan was doomed to failure, because in the end, it was impossible for Emperor Yi to grant their request.
