The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 373 King Wei returns to Beijing to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent
When the King of Wei was recuperating in the south of the Yangtze River, the prince was deposed, and Duke Zhen and his son were imprisoned. He perfectly escaped the bloody storm of the prince being deposed.Of course, there were also ministers who asked the emperor to punish the king of Wei, but the king of Wei was always cautious and careful in doing things, and never left any clues.No one has any evidence to prove that he did the things he did for the deposed prince.

Now, it's time for him to return to the capital.However, before returning to the capital, he had to go to Yangzhou to visit his tenth brother.

Ever since Zhao Yao learned that the prince had been deposed, he had guessed that King Wei was preparing to return to the capital, and he also knew that King Wei was about to come to Yangzhou to see him.

Sure enough, as he expected, King Wei came to Yangzhou to visit him.

Although King Wei wanted to return to the capital, he was not in a hurry.He deliberately stayed in Yangzhou for a few more days and asked Zhao Yao to take him to visit all the interesting places in Yangzhou and eat all the delicious food in Yangzhou.

The night before leaving for the capital, Zhao Yao and King Wei were playing chess in the study.

When King Wei saw Zhao Yao looking at him without wanting to speak, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Bago..." Zhao Yao just started, but hesitated again.

It was the first time that King Wei saw Zhao Yao's hesitant appearance and guessed that he had something important to say or something important to say to him.

"Is there anything else you can't say in front of me?"

Zhao Yao looked at King Wei, and his expression suddenly became very serious: "Brother Bage, after you return to the capital, are you going to compete for the crown prince's position?"

When King Wei heard what Zhao Yao said, he stopped drinking tea. A look of surprise appeared on his face: "Who told you?"

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "No one told me."

King Wei didn't believe Zhao Yao's words. He frowned slightly and asked, "Did the fourth brother tell you?"

"Ah, fourth brother didn't tell me about you." Zhao Yao gave King Wei a dissatisfied look, "Ba brother, are you looking down on me too much? I'm not an idiot. I still need someone to tell me this kind of thing. What?"

In King Wei's heart, Zhao Yao has always been the younger brother who has not grown up, and he always feels that he does not understand anything.

"Bago, how stupid I am in your eyes." Zhao Yao said angrily.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was angry, King Wei hurriedly explained: "In Bage's heart, you are not a fool."

"Really?" Zhao Yao looked full of disbelief, "Bago, although I don't know much about the affairs of the court, I still know some things. Now that there is no prince, you must want to compete for the prince's position. You don't want to be the prince's prince, right? Good prince."

King Wei was amused by Zhao Yao's last words.He asked deliberately: "You are also a prince, so you also want to compete for the crown prince's position?"

This sentence frightened Zhao Yao to shake his head and wave his hands: "I don't want to, I am not a good prince, I am just a lazy prince."

When King Wei heard Zhao Yao say this about himself, he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Have you ever said that about yourself?"

"I am called self-aware. When I grow up, I want to go to fun places and eat delicious food all over the world."

King Wei saw that Zhao Yao's eyes lit up when he talked about his "big dream" since he was a child, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are really promising."

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said to King Wei: "Bago, you don't like food, I tell you that you don't understand."

King Wei suddenly asked: "Do you want me to compete for the crown prince's position?"

Zhao Yao was stunned by this question, pointed at himself in disbelief and asked: "Ah, Bage, ask me if I want you to compete for the position of prince?"

"Yes, do you want to?"

"Bago, this is not a question of whether I want it or not, but a question of whether you want it or not." Zhao Yao glanced at King Wei strangely, "If you want it, then go and take it."

King Wei looked at Zhao Yao and suddenly became serious: "Do you support me in taking it?"

"Of course I support you." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "Bago, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Hearing Zhao Yao's firm support for him, King Wei felt warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously: "Since you support me to seize it, then I will go and seize it."

Zhao Yao complained in his heart: Brother Bage, you are talking as if I don't support you, so you won't seize the legitimate son.

"Myna, what can I do for you?"

King Wei raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head: "You are safe and sound, which is the greatest help to me."

"Bago, I'm very useful. Do you really not need my help?"

"I know you are smart and capable, but I don't want you to get involved in the fight for the heir." King Wei looked at Zhao Yao with gentle and doting eyes, "Just be happy every day."

"Okay, I get it." He knew that Brother Bago wouldn't let him do anything for him. "Bag, if you want to seize the direct descendant after you return, won't you have to compete with Fourth Brother?"

King Wei asked deliberately: "Yes, after I go back, I will compete with the fourth son for the position of crown prince. Do you want me to win, or do you want the fourth son to win?"

This problem stumped Zhao Yao.He didn't answer for a while.

King Wei did not urge Zhao Yao to answer, but waited for him quietly.

Zhao Yao thought about it distressedly for a while and said: "I hope that both Bage and Fourth Brother can win, but there is only one crown prince, and only one of Bage and Fourth Brother can grab the crown prince's position."

"That's right, so who do you hope will be the crown prince between me and the fourth child?"

"Bago, the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I can't answer your question." Zhao Yao said frankly, "However, I hope that you or fourth brother will be the prince, so that I can rely on your influence in the future. Do whatever you want.”

Zhao Yao's last sentence was correct.Whether it is the King of Chu or the King of Wei, as long as any one of them becomes the emperor, Zhao Yao's life will be very easy.

King Wei said amusedly: "You do know how to make up your mind."

Zhao Yao asked: "Isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, when the time comes, I will let you take advantage of others."

"Then I will definitely have a dog fight..." After Zhao Yao said this, he realized that he had been scolded and immediately glared at King Wei, "Bago, you called me a dog."

"Aren't you just a dog?"

Zhao Yao said angrily: "Bago, you are my brother. If I were a dog, you would be a dog too." After saying that, he angrily barked "bark woof" twice at King Wei.

King Wei was amused by Zhao Yao and laughed: "Hahahaha..."

"Myna, have you laughed enough?" What's so funny about this.

"Enough laughing." King Wei laughed so much that his stomach hurt. "Bago, will it be dangerous for you to go back and seize your direct heir? Will my eldest brother's people hate you? After all, you used to be by my eldest brother's side and help him with things?"

"Brother will not hate me." The King of Wei will seize the throne in the name of revenge for Zhao Xuan. When dealing with the King of Chu, Zhao Xuan will only be grateful to him and not hate him. "If I'm in danger, will you help me or the fourth child?"

Zhao Yao replied without any hesitation: "If Fourth Brother puts you in danger, Bage, then I will definitely help you, and I will ask Fourth Brother to show mercy to you."

"What if the fourth child is in danger?"

"If it's Ba Ge who puts Fourth Brother in danger, then I will definitely help Fourth Brother, and then I beg you to show mercy to Fourth Brother."

King Wei thought to himself, it is indeed so.

"You are really fair and just."

"Bago, you and Fourth Brother are both my brothers. Of course I don't want anything to happen to any of you." Zhao Yao was just about to ask King Wei, "When that time comes, Bago, will you let Fourth Brother go?" But , the words came to his lips without asking. "If Dai Wang puts you in danger, then I will definitely kill Dai Wang."

King Wei was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Yao's fierce expression when he said the last sentence, and then said with a smile: "Lao Si and I are not so incompetent as to be bullied by King Dai."

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Yes." Dai Wang was no match for Eighth Brother and Fourth Brother.After Bage returned to the capital, it seemed that the four kings were competing for the throne, but in fact it was a contest between the fourth brother and Bage.

"Okay, let's continue playing chess." King Wei didn't want to tell Zhao Yao too much about these things. He didn't want Zhao Yao to worry about them.

"Bago, just wait until I kill you to pieces."

"The tone is not small."

The two brothers fought back and forth in the chess game without any mercy, and they had no respect for brothers and sisters just now.

After playing chess for a while, Zhao Yao and King Wei went to rest.Because King Wei is leaving tomorrow, Zhao Yao will shamelessly sleep with him tonight.

In summer, Zhao Yao likes to sleep with King Wei the most, because King Wei's body is cold and it will be very comfortable to sleep with him in his arms.

As soon as King Wei fell asleep, he was hugged by Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was like a small stove, but King Wei did not dislike him and allowed him to hold him.

"Bago, after you go back, remember to eat on time, remember to go to bed early, remember to take supplements..." Zhao Yaoli told King Wei many things.

King Wei was not only not annoyed when he heard this, he was also very happy.

"Tenth brother, you said before that you wanted to stay in Yangzhou until you reach adulthood, right?"

"Yes, but my father won't agree."

"Bag, help you." King Wei thought it would be safer to let Zhao Yao stay in Yangzhou.

Zhao Yao asked with shining eyes: "Really?"

"I'll give it a try." King Wei hoped that when Zhao Yao returned to Beijing as an adult, he would already be the prince, so that he could help his tenth brother find a good fiefdom.The tenth brother likes Yangzhou, so it is better to make Yangzhou his fiefdom.

Zhao Yao's face was full of joy: "Bago, you are the best."

"When you stay in Yangzhou, you can't just eat, drink and have fun every day. You have to study." King Wei said, "The Baoying Academy in Yangzhou is very good and famous throughout Jiangnan. You can go there to study."

Zhao Yao lowered his crotch and smiled, pouted and said, "Bago, can you stop saying such disappointing things?"

"I have already said hello to Prefect Liang, and when I leave, I will ask him to send you to Baoying Academy to study." King Wei said warmly, "I have also said hello to Baoying Academy, and asked the gentlemen to supervise your studies. .”

Zhao Yao turned around and turned his back to King Wei: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

King Wei stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yao over, and then pinched his nose.

"You study hard for me. If you don't study hard, I will send someone to take you back to the capital."

Zhao Yao looked at King Wei with resentful eyes and said bitterly: "Bago, you are so cruel."

"study hard."

Zhao Yao replied with a puffy face: "I know."

"Go to sleep."

Zhao Yao turned over again and stayed away from King Wei.

Seeing Zhao Yao's angry look, King Wei's eyes were filled with helplessness and doting.When Zhao Yao fell asleep, King Wei pulled him into his arms again.

The next day, with Zhao Yao's reluctance, King Wei boarded the ship and left Yangzhou.

Zhao Yao stood on the dock and watched King Wei leave.

Seeing his precious grandson's solemn expression, Grand Administrator Liang asked with concern: "Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yao said in a serious tone: "When Brother Bage returns to the capital, he and Brother Four will have a tit-for-tat confrontation."

Prefect Liang said: "This is inevitable."

"I hope Bage listened to what I said last night." He couldn't interfere in the affairs between Fourth Brother and Bage. He could only hope that they would respect each other for his sake and not be too cruel to each other.

King Wei stood on the deck, his clothes fluttering in the wind on the river.He looked towards the capital, his eyes determined and his expression determined to win.

When he returned to the capital this time, he was no longer the unknown and despised King of Wei, but the King of Wei who wanted to seize the throne of crown prince.

Ten days later, King Wei returned to the capital.As soon as he returned to the capital, he went to Zongzheng Temple to visit King Jin.

He spent most of the day talking to King Jin in Zongzheng Temple.No one knows what they said, but since he met King Jin, he had ministers who supported him in the court.

King Dai, King Jing, and many ministers still ignored King Wei as usual, and only King Chu knew that King Wei was prepared to come back this time.The King of Wei no longer hid himself and decided to participate in the fight for his heir.
