The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 514 King Wei was so angry that he vomited blood
The emperor asked King Chu not to rush to court and rest at home for a few days. After all, he had a very hard journey.

King Chu did not refuse to rest this time. He obeyed the emperor's arrangement and planned to rest at home for a few days. He deliberately said that he did not want to be disturbed by anyone during the rest. No matter who comes to see him, he will not see him.

The ministers who supported the King of Chu went to see him, but to their surprise, they were all rejected.

When the others saw that King Chu had closed the door and saw no one, they became more and more confused and thought to themselves: What on earth is King Chu doing?

They knew that the King of Chu went to see the emperor on the day he returned to Beijing and chatted with the emperor for a long time in the imperial study. If it weren't for something important, King Chu wouldn't have been able to chat with the emperor for so long.

The ministers thought that after the King of Chu came back, there would be a new bloody storm in the court, but unexpectedly nothing happened.

The King of Chu has been back for three or four days, but the emperor has not reacted at all. Everything in the court is calm. This... this development is not right. The King of Chu was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief in the north, but he had an ulterior motive. With the King of Chu's ability, it was impossible that nothing could be discovered. Besides, King Chu's return from the north was delayed for more than twenty days. During this period of time, it was impossible for the King of Chu to do nothing.

Several years ago, the emperor sent King Chu to Pengcheng to investigate the theft of copper. King Chu not only found out the whereabouts of the stolen copper, but also obtained ironclad evidence that the former prince and the former Duke of Zhen had stolen copper and forged weapons. This time when the King of Chu went to the north, it was impossible for him to return empty-handed.

The King of Chu must have found something, but the Emperor was "indifferent". This... The Emperor stood still. Could it be that he was holding back a big move?
With the emperor's temperament, he might really be holding back some big move. If this is really the case, then the earth will shake in the future.

Having said that, what was the big deal that made the emperor hold back?
The civil and military officials suddenly thought of the Yangzhou family many years ago. Back then, in order to eradicate those aristocratic families in Yangzhou, the emperor tolerated them for many years and turned a blind eye to what they did. When the plan was successful, the emperor killed them all in one fell swoop, killing none of them. Nowadays, there are no aristocratic families in Yangzhou.

Could it be that the situation in the north is the same as in Yangzhou?
The reason why the emperor is holding back is because he wants to catch them all in one fell swoop in the future?
There are no aristocratic families in the northern border. The most influential ones are those in the military camp in the northern border and the King of Han in Youzhou. And, of course, there were the Huns.

Could it be that they really guessed that in the northern military camp, or that the King of Han was colluding with the Huns?
King Han did not have the courage, after all, King Chen had learned from his past mistakes. If King Han was really bold enough to collude with the Huns, then he probably didn't think he had nine heads.

It couldn't be the King of Han, so it could only be the northern military camp.

The northern military camp is an army of the emperor's cronies. How could they have the courage to collude with the Huns to betray the emperor.

It seems that General Deng's illness not long ago was really a conspiracy.

Isn't it said that it was General Deng's son who poisoned him? Then it should be General Deng's son who colluded with the Huns. But during this period, the emperor did not issue an order to severely punish General Deng's son. Isn't he the son of General Deng?

The emperor first sent General Chu to stabilize the northern military camp, and then sent King Dai to the military camp. After that, King Chu went to the north again.

If General Chu and King Dai could not find anything, it is impossible for King Chu to find nothing. The King of Chu even found the copper hidden by the former prince and the former Duke of Zhen. How could he not find out what happened in the northern military camp?

If someone in the northern military camp really colluded with the Huns, it wouldn't be a big deal. With the emperor's temperament, it was impossible to remain indifferent. Even if the northern military camp really rebels, it is no match for the four generals, and the emperor has no reason to be afraid. What happened in the north that allowed the emperor to remain silent?

The ministers were racking their brains and could not imagine what happened in the north.

Some people were too curious about things in the north and ran to test He Xiang and Taishi Liu, but they ran into a wall without any accident.

If anyone in the court was the tightest talker, it would definitely be He Xiang and Taishi Liu. No matter what happened, they wouldn't let it slip. To learn something from them is really harder than going to heaven.

The civil and military officials just hope that when the things in the north are exposed, the emperor will not be too angry, otherwise they will also suffer misfortune.

The ministers who were sued by Princess Annan hoped that the affairs in the north could be exposed, so that they could divert the emperor's attention, and maybe they could escape the disaster.

In order to divert trouble to the east, these ministers used all means to inquire about the situation in the north, but unfortunately no useful information was found.

Now, apart from the emperor, only the King of Chu knows what happened in the north. Many ministers went to inquire about the information from the ministers who supported the King of Chu. In order to find out the information, they spent a lot of money to bribe the ministers of the King of Chu's party.

The ministers of the King of Chu's party also wanted to know what happened in the north, so that they could make preparations and maybe do something else. However, the King of Chu did not see them. They had no choice but to go to Li Pushe.

After returning to the capital to rest, the King of Chu did not see anyone else, but he went to see Li Pushe.

Li Pushe also asked the King of Chu what happened in the north. The King of Chu said that it was a secret and could not be told to him, so he did not ask any more questions.

When the ministers of the King of Chu's party heard that Li Pushe said that the King of Chu had not told him, they stopped asking any more questions. Because they knew in their hearts that something big must have happened in the north, otherwise the King of Chu would not have even informed Li Pushe.

The King's Party of Jing, King Dai's Party, King of Chu's Party, and the neutral ministers were all curious about what happened in the north. Only the ministers of the King of Wei's Party were not curious because they knew about it. However, not everyone knows, only a few people know.

In a private house in the northern city of Beijing, the King of Chu and the King of Wei rarely sat together. Of course, the two of them still looked unhappy at each other and had a bad look on their faces.

This time it was King Wei who came out to meet King Chu.

"Did your tenth brother help you escape from King Han?"

King Chu looked at King Wei expressionlessly and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

"In your investigation of King Han, have you exposed the tenth brother?" King Wei's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and he shot straight at King Chu, "If you let King Han find out that it was the tenth brother who told you about his collusion with the third princess, King Han will never let the tenth brother go."

King Chu was not at all surprised that King Wei knew about this. "As expected, you know about the collusion between King Han and the Third Princess." After speaking, he thought of the Southern Wei people in the Western Regions, the North, and even on the grasslands. His eyes instantly turned cold, "The cooperation between King Han and the Third Princess is Isn’t it your work?”

King Wei sneered and said: "With our handiwork, so what? Without our handiwork, so what?"

Hearing what King Wei said, King Chu knew that the cooperation between King Han and the third princess was not his instigation, but it must be the work of the Southern Wei people.

"You take care of yourself."

King Wei didn't appreciate it: "You don't need to talk."

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty have been sending people to assassinate the tenth brother and the King of Han." The King of Chu originally did not know about Zhao Yao's assassination. On the way to the Western Regions, Liang Run accidentally let it slip. Under his questioning, Liang Runcai told him that since Zhao Yao went to Marsh Mansion, people have been trying to kill him. Before Zhao Yao went to Marsh Mansion, the Southern Wei people secretly assassinated him. "When I was on my way to the Western Regions, the King of Han sent people to poison my tenth brother. And more than once, your Southern Wei people also poisoned my tenth brother."

The King of Wei did not know that the Southern Wei people poisoned Zhao Yao.

When the King of Chu saw King Wei's face suddenly turned gloomy and ugly, he knew that the King of Wei did not know about the poisoning of Zhao Yao by the Southern Wei people.

"You are really good at it. Your men assassinated and poisoned your tenth brother again and again, but you didn't know anything about it."

King Wei suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold tone: "I will take care of it."

King Chu looked at King Wei with cold eyes and threatened him coldly: "If something happens to my tenth brother, I will never let you and the people of Southern Wei go!"

"I won't let anything happen to my tenth brother!"

King Chu didn't speak anymore, but his eyes looked at King Wei full of sarcasm.

"Don't continue to investigate the matter between King Han and the third princess, otherwise you will implicate the tenth brother." King Wei warned, "I will tell the tenth brother and ask him not to investigate this matter again."

"After the tenth brother told me about this, I asked him to stop taking care of it." King Chu said coldly, "You should take care of your Southern Wei people."

These were the words that King Wei wanted to say to King Chu. Now that the words had been agreed, he was too lazy to stay with King Chu anymore.

He stood up and looked at King Chu condescendingly: "It will be our turn to fight soon. I hope you won't make me feel bored." After saying this, he turned and left.

King Chu looked at King Wei's leaving figure and let out a disdainful snort.

The King of Wei hurriedly returned to the Palace of Wei, and then sent his cronies to investigate the assassination and poisoning of Zhao Yao by the Southern Wei people. He wants to know who ordered it.

A few years ago, King Wei warned those people not to touch Zhao Yao, but they unexpectedly turned a deaf ear to his words.

Yu Hai saw that King Wei had a gloomy face, and his expression was very scary. He cautiously opened his mouth and said secretly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the King of Han, is okay. Don't make yourself angry." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw King Wei He was so angry that he vomited blood and was so frightened that he turned pale and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I'll go find the doctor right now."

"No, I'm fine."

"Your Highness, you are vomiting blood." Yu Hai looked worried.

"It's okay." King Wei raised the back of his hand and casually wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Your Highness, I'd better ask the doctor to take your pulse." His Highness had not heard of anyone vomiting blood for several years, but now he was so angry that he vomited blood. He wanted to kill those people.

"No need." King Wei glanced at Yu Hai, whose face was full of anxiety and worry, and said calmly, "You should also investigate this matter."

"My slave, go now." Yu Hai said in a sinister tone, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely find out who disobeyed your order and acted without authorization to assassinate His Highness the King of Han."

King Wei nodded lightly.

Yu Hai retreated.

With a bang, King Wei suddenly overturned the desk in front of him, with a sinister look on his face.

It seems that they really think that he can't survive without them, and it's time for them to understand his methods.

At this time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in Marsh Mansion, was happily eating iced watermelon.

Autumn has entered the capital, and the weather has become cooler, but summer is still going on in Lingnan, and the weather is hot and stuffy. If you don’t eat ice every day, you will definitely suffer from heatstroke.

Zhao Yao was sitting on the rocking chair, digging into watermelon and eating it, while thinking about things.

Fourth brother should have returned to the capital, and the capital is going to be lively again. Previously, the matter of Princess Annan's lawsuit was not over yet, and the fourth brother came back again. The ministers in the court must be very nervous.
