Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 155
Leyi Mountain Palace, the capital of Wei State.

It's not yet dawn.

Han Wu and Da Han got up early.

Yesterday the steward of the palace informed them that Duke Wei Guo will come to the palace to recuperate today, and then he can meet Han Wu.

It has been nearly half a month since he came to Wei State, but Han Wu has not been able to see Wei Guogong's true face.

The Wei people did not arrange for him to live in the capital, but let him live on Leyi Mountain almost as if he was confined.

If he lives in the capital, Han Wu can move around in the city through his connections.

Keleyi Mountain is nearly ten miles away from Weidu, so it is very inconvenient to go back and forth.Moreover, the Wei people guarded the gate and used various excuses to prevent him from entering and leaving.

As the saying goes, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.Although Han Wu had complaints in his heart, he could only endure silently.

These days, Han Wu has been asking around.He suspected that something happened in the capital of Wei State.

Han Wu had only been to the State of Wei a few months ago. At that time, Duke Wei was not in the same attitude as he is now.

Han Wu offered a plan to help Wei Guogong retreat Qin soldiers wisely. Han Wu was Wei Guogong's guest at that time.

It's been less than half a year since this incident, why did Wei Guo's attitude change so much?

If it is because Han Wu was expelled by Rui Jiang, Wei Guogong felt that he lost his use value?That's definitely not the case.

Even if Rui Jiang announced to the outside world that he would recommend Ji Mo to inherit the title of Earl Rui, the princes and kings and the emperor of Zhou would never agree.

Han Wu was willing to ask Wei Guogong for help, in fact, he was giving Wei Guo a gift.

Han Wu wanted to borrow troops, knowing in his heart that they would not lend him for nothing.

Regardless of whether Wei Guo wants land, wealth and population, these can be discussed.Even from then on, Rui Guo could be considered as a vassal of Wei Guo.

Han Wu thought of several plans in his mind, but he never expected to receive a cold reception.

After thinking about it, it could only be that something bad happened to Wei Guo himself.

When Han Wu met Wei Guogong, his speculation came true.

Wei Guogong was in a similar situation to Han Wu and was also under house arrest.

This matter is still a legacy of the Qin State's previous attack.

At that time, Qin State raided Wei State, and the court of Wei State was divided into two factions.One side is the main battle, the other side is the main peace.

The main combat faction is headed by Gong Ziqing.The main peace faction is headed by Gong Zilian.

The Duke of Wei supported the young master Qing who was leading the battle.But son Lian is the biological son of Mrs. Wei, and has won the support of important nobles in Wei.

However, Wei Guogong suddenly planned to retreat the Qin soldiers, which caused the prestige of the Duke and the main battle faction to soar.Many people who originally supported Gong Zilian turned to support Gong Ziqing.

Gradually, the direction of the wind changed, and the word-of-mouth among the people also favored Gongziqing.

Duke Wei admired Young Master Qing even more, and now he is planning to formally make Young Master Qing his son.

It's just that before Wei Guogong's edict was issued, son Lian and Mrs. Wei Guo colluded with the palace people to imprison Wei Guogong.

Young Master Lian and Mrs. Wei Guo are more gentle and clever than Rui Jiang.

They claimed to the outside world that Wei Guogong was suffering from the cold and hadn't seen anyone for a while, and then he was really hungry for three days, and they didn't give him a drop of water or a grain of rice.

Three days later, the Duke of Wei signed the imperial edict enshrining son Lian as his son, as well as his own abdication imperial edict.

Gong Zilian and Mrs. Wei Guo are very organized.They did not directly publish the two edicts, but first issued the edict to enshrine the son.

After Prince Lian got the power to supervise the country, they sent Wei Guogong to the Leyi Mountain Palace to rest.

It is estimated that after some time, they will issue Wei Guogong's abdication edict.

At that time, everything will fall into place.

After a lot of tossing, Wei Guogong has long since lost his original heroism.Han Wu felt that he was ten years older than when they met last time.

The weakened Wei Guogong looked like he was dying.After seeing Han Wu, he kept holding his hand but couldn't speak.

Prince Lian and Mrs. Wei Guo announced to the outside world that Wei Guogong had a wind syndrome.The mouth cannot speak, the hand cannot hold.That's why he hastily canonized son Lian as the son of the world.

They also made excuses for Young Master Qing's neglect.

They said that Wei Guogong felt that Qin Bing had retired to the country and should seek stability, and son Lian was more stable than son Qing, which was more suitable for Wei Guo in peacetime.

Poor young master Qing is an honest man. After learning that Wei Guogong didn't want to see him, he left in despair with a few servants.

His departure saved the capital of Wei State from the military disaster.

Without Gong Ziqing in the capital, no one can compete with Gong Zilian.

These things were told by Wei Guogong to Han Wu.

He couldn't speak, but he could move his fingers.Use water instead of ink, finger instead of pen, write and wipe, wipe and write again.

When he wrote the excitement, Wei Guogong burst into tears.

After the announcement of the abdication edict, the only thing left for Wei Guogong is his death.

The last word Wei Guogong wrote to Han Wu was "flee".

Duke Wei cannot escape, but Han Wu can.

Wei Guogong stuffed the silver silk of his own hair to Han Wu, implying that he could use it to find Gongzi Qing after he escaped.

Wei Guogong asked Han Wu to find son Qing to come back and rescue him.

Han Wu silently accepted the silver silk cloth.

Two days later, Wei Guogong did not know what method he used, but the guards guarding the gate of the palace were not there.

Han Wu and Da Han, who had prepared in advance, took the opportunity to escape from the Leyi Mountain Palace.

They dare not take a carriage, let alone walk on the road, and can only cross mountains and ridges in the countryside.

According to the address given by Wei Guogong, Han and Wu found Gongzi Qing in a savage village.

Gong Ziqing is about the same age as Han Wu, only four years younger than Han Wu.

Han Wu had been to Wei State many times before, and he had met Young Master Qing every time.The two are also like-minded.It's just that Young Master Qing's drinking was too much, which Han Wu didn't like very much.

Goodbye, Gong Ziqing no longer has the style of galloping angry horses in fresh clothes. Instead, he is wearing a coarse cloth bunt and a bamboo hat and sitting by the river fishing.

Han Wu disapproved of Young Master Qing's current appearance very much, and persuaded him: "Young Master is young and just scolding Fang Qiu, how can he waste his time like that fisherman?"

Gong Ziqing smiled bitterly and said, "Are you here for my father's business?"

Han Wu handed Wei Guogong's silver silk cloth over.

"Wei Guogong was imprisoned and suffered in Leyi Mountain. What are your plans?"

Young Master Qing took the silver cloth, but only took a look at it before putting it in his purse.

"If I say I have no plans, will you call me unfilial?"

"Are you afraid of Young Master Lian? You are a war faction. As long as you raise your arms, someone will follow you. Why be afraid of a small person?"

"I am not afraid of him, but I don't want to bring war to Wei. I am good at leading troops to fight, but I may not be able to do better than him in governing the country. What he said is right. What the peaceful Wei needs is not I."

Gong Ziqing is not a brainless person, how can he not see that there is something tricky behind Wei Guogong's edict.But he didn't want to kill each other with the son Lian brothers, and he didn't want Wei Guo to fall into war because of their brothers earning the throne.

"Of course he can't beat me. But if there is internal chaos in Wei State, Qin State will have another chance to invade Wei State. The weapon in my hand is aimed at outsiders, not at our own people."

Han Wu was greatly surprised by Gong Ziqing's remarks, and couldn't help thinking deeply about what he had done.
