Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 54

An Heng was extremely shocked when he heard the news, and quickly sent someone to investigate what was going on, and the last news that came was actually an order from the Emperor Qin.

He didn't care about the late night and hurried into the palace.Emperor Qin seemed to know that he would come, so he didn't go to bed, and sat in the study with all his clothes neatly dressed.

An Heng saluted, and asked hastily: "Why would Your Majesty take the initiative to provoke disputes?"

Emperor Qin threw a letter on the desk.An Heng glanced at him, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and was very surprised: "Wei Yizhi actually said that he would marry the eldest princess only after he got the five counties?" His tone was extremely rude.

"That's right! I don't know what to praise!" Emperor Qin had a typical appearance of the Di tribe, with deep eyebrows and eyes, but a square and wide chin, which looked very majestic.He was in the prime of his life, and his temper was also violent. At this time, when he spoke angry words, his eyes were so bright that people dare not look directly at him.

An Heng frowned slightly: "Then your majesty can't rush forward, I have made so many arrangements so that Qin can be well-prepared and be famous, so that if we need assistance at that time, we have a reason to rely on the strength of other dependent countries, otherwise Seeing our impatience, other countries will have a different heart."

"An Xiang should know how long I have been waiting. Our Great Qin has a strong army, so why do we need the power of a subordinate country? We can also rule the world with our own strength! Those old and stubborn people who prevent you from implementing the New Deal and preventing me from sending troops to the south are all for their own benefit. , can't you stop me now?"

An Heng was annoyed in his heart, but he knew Emperor Qin's temper well, so he couldn't say anything: "I am afraid that your Majesty will be hit by Wei Yizhi's aggressive tactics. Now that he has sent troops, he has a reason to refuse the marriage rate generously." The army is coming to fight."

"I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?" Emperor Qin stood up angrily, stood in front of the frame and looked at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, squinted his eyes: "This Wei Yizhi, I have long wanted to get rid of him!"

Now that the matter has come to this, An Heng had no choice but to put aside his hesitation: "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, we can only advance it."

The court of the state of Jin was worried about this matter.

The Qin army entered Badong County and broke the peace, so it was natural to respond.However, the statement given by the State of Qin is that Wei Yizhi asked for the five counties in advance before he was willing to marry the eldest princess. The eldest princess of Qin State felt humiliated and committed suicide in anger.

Wei Yizhi was still absent, but everyone's thoughts revolved around him.After all, this matter cannot be separated from him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his responsibility.

The emperor's mind is also complicated, and regardless of whether Wei Yizhi's request for the five counties is true or not, An Heng's new letter of credence clearly states that the dowry of the five counties was given to Wei Yizhi instead of Jin. This kind of blatant and private giving and receiving is obviously supporting Wei Yizhi's rebellion and self-reliance.

After going through a series of things, it is natural to have a defensive heart.The emperor planned to transfer Wei Yizhi's military power while Wei Yizhi was still a guilty person, and then take the opportunity to hold it in his own hands.

It's not like he hasn't done this before. When Xie Mingguang was about to die, some of the military power he held was taken away by him and he became his own soldier. This made Xie Shu, who had just come to power at that time, restrained.Later, she suppressed Mu Chong and controlled the imperial army because of this.

Having military power in hand is the real capital.

The buzzing in the court hall became louder and louder, and the emperor stopped the crowd with two light coughs: "The Qin thief invaded the country, what do you all think should be done?"

Xie Shu said: "I think you should send troops to expel them immediately."

"It is right to send troops to expel them, but who should be sent to lead the troops?"

Badong County is an army deployed by Wei Yizhi. In the past, there was no need to ask about it. If it is not Wei Yizhi, it must be Wei Yizhi's direct subordinates.Xie Shu knew that the emperor didn't intend to use Wei Yizhi, but he still suggested: "I think that the king of Wuling should be sent to attack Qin, and the battle should be settled quickly."

The emperor looked at Xie Shu, and didn't expect her to support Wei Yizhi so openly: "I don't think it's appropriate to send the King of Wuling to lead the army at this time, so I should send someone else. Do you have anyone to recommend?"

The ministers understood that he didn't want Wei Yizhi to continue to make meritorious service, but the prime minister supported King Wuling, so he was in a dilemma, and it was difficult to speak up, and no one dared to recommend himself.

Xie Shu asked: "May I ask your Majesty who is in your mind?"

The emperor saw that she opened the conversation, so he had no choice but to say: "The King of Wuling is not suitable to lead the army recently. Since his brother Wei Shizhi controls half of the military power for him, let him go and give him a chance to serve the country."

Xie Shu knew very well that although Wei Shizhi came back not long ago, everyone knew that King Wuling had always attached great importance to this elder brother since he was a child.By doing this, the emperor can not only reduce the dissatisfaction of the soldiers loyal to Wei Yizhi, but also allow the two brothers to restrain each other.And due to brotherhood, Wei Yizhi would not refute.

"But I feel that the King of Wuling is the most suitable candidate. After all, Wei Shizhi has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was captured by the Qin State. Facing a strong enemy, he will inevitably feel cowardly. Moreover, he has just been injured recently, so he is not suitable for the battle. battlefield."

"Xie Xiang should also give others a chance, don't judge too early. Now that King Wuling is still guilty, let's wait for him to prove his innocence before discussing the matter of leading the army." After finishing speaking, the emperor ordered to retreat, and went After leaving, he didn't want to discuss with Xie Shuduo at all.

That afternoon, Eunuch Xiang went to the Da Sima Mansion to read out the imperial decree, and Wei Shizhi was asked to leave for the front line to lead the army immediately.

He had been gone for a long time, Mrs. Xiang was still in shock and didn't come back to her senses. The eldest son just came back not long ago, why was he sent to the battlefield by the emperor?
Holding the imperial decree, Wei Shizhi looked at Wei Yizhi who was standing next to him, a little embarrassed: "I seem to be acting on behalf of Yue Zu."

Wei Yizhi smiled: "Brother, don't think too much. Since His Majesty wants to use you, you should be loyal to the country, so that the Wei family will grow stronger."

Mrs. Xiang just sighed beside her, feeling extremely worried.

The mother and son stood in the courtyard for a long time, and only Wei Yizhi looked natural, without any worry or unhappiness.But the more he was like this, the more ashamed Wei Shizhi felt.

Fu Xuan walked quickly from the backyard and whispered something in Wei Yizhi's ear.

Wei Yizhi still had a faint smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the study room, his smile disappeared halfway, and he asked Fu Xuan, "Does Qin have any other news?"

"In addition to shifting the responsibility for sending troops to the county king alone, he also deliberately claimed that the five counties would be handed over to the county king himself instead of the state of Jin."

"How is the situation in Padang County?"

"Now all the counties in that area are rumored that the Qin State framed the king of the county. Some people in Badong County said that they saw a sneaky person appearing by the river before. It must be sent by the Qin State. It is true. The county king is beneficial."

Wei Yizhi was noncommittal.These are just public opinions. Although they cannot prove his innocence, they can reassure the emperor some doubts.It's just that An Heng provoked the emperor again. When Eunuch Xiang announced the imperial decree just now, he brought up the foot ban that was abolished just a few days ago. Obviously, the emperor was still suspicious.

Fu Xuan asked: "Does the king of the county still intend to continue to overturn the case?"

Wei Yizhi shook his head: "The overturning of the case is also the result. Now that the Qin State has been forced to act in advance, this king's goal has been achieved."

It's just that he couldn't personally lead the army, so the emperor didn't even give him the chance to "be guilty and make meritorious service".

Wei Shizhi set off for Padang County the next day.Mrs. Xiang felt very uncomfortable, but she also felt that it was unlucky to cry, so she resisted and sent him out of the city.

Wei Yizhi comforted her all the way with kind words, and Mrs. Xiang remembered that when he sent Wei Shizhi to the camp for the first time, he comforted her all the way back, and she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Back at Da Sima's Mansion, Wei Yizhi went to the study as usual, but just as he walked to the door, he saw two guards guarding the door tremblingly, looking into the room from time to time, he was relieved when he saw him coming.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yizhi saw that the door of the study was open, and walked in quickly, but saw that everything was as usual, but there was a person standing by the window with his back to him, with a snow-white robe loosely draped over his body, who seemed to be Cleared up a bit.

Fu Xuan followed him and saw it, and walked out the door wisely, not forgetting to close the door.

Wei Yizhi walked over and stood a few steps behind her: "Why did Prime Minister Xie come?"

Xie Shu turned to look at him, the melancholy in his expression hadn't had time to put it away, which made him startled slightly.But she smiled again in an instant, pointed out the window and said, "I never thought there would be a rare Bingdi lotus in Da Sima's mansion."

Wei Yizhi approached, his chest was almost touching her back, and he could even smell her breath when he lowered his head.He deliberately ignored these, and followed her gaze towards the lotus.

"Don't King Wuling think that this means that you want to start a family? But you gave up this opportunity."

"It turns out that Xie relatives understand this king's intentions so well, so how can you say that this king gave up this opportunity?"

Xie Shu laughed: "That's right, this is not an opportunity at all, An Heng will never give you the five counties for free, and the marriage is just part of his plan."

Wei Yizhi glanced at her side face: "Mr. Xie came here today to say this?"

"Of course not." She turned around, took out an imperial edict from her sleeve and gave it to him: "This is the order of the prime minister, ordering you to leave at any time to go to the Badong County to supervise the battle."

Wei Yizhi was a little stunned. The emperor was obviously guarding against him by not using him, but she gave him the opportunity.

"King Wuling doesn't have to hesitate, this is an order from Prime Minister Lushang Shushi."

Wei Yizhi lowered his eyes and saluted: "Then I will accept the order and thank you."

Xie Shu didn't make a sound for a long time.He raised his eyes and saw that she was looking at him, her eyes were a little strange and a little evasive, and she seemed to contain all kinds of emotions, but she couldn't speak out.

He turned around and put the imperial edict on the case, taking the opportunity to avoid her gaze: "If you have anything else to do, you can order it together."

Xie Shu looked at his back, he was wearing that white shirt with bamboo and green trim again today, although he was not in a drunk state when he fell in the carriage, but it always reminded her of that scene.

"I have orders, you sit on the couch."

Wei Yizhi turned his head to look at her, and went in without knowing it, but he still walked to the side of the couch and sat down.

Xie Shu closed the window, walked in front of him, suddenly pulled off his belt, took off his coat and jacket, revealing his round shoulders and corset.

Wei Yizhi looked at her in astonishment: "You..."

Xie Shu sat on him, stretched out his hand to untie his skirt and belt, took off his clothes, then reached out to take off his obscene pants, and reached down directly.

Wei Yizhi grabbed her hand: "What are you doing?"

Xie Shu's cheeks were slightly red, and he looked at him with sparkling eyes: "You don't know what I'm going to do?"

Of course he knew what she was going to do, he just didn't understand why she suddenly took the initiative.

Without giving him a chance to think, Xie Shu pressed his lips against his earlobe, and kissed his Adam's apple until his breathing became unstable, and his subordinates finally succeeded.

Wei Yi couldn't help himself, and wanted to untie her chest, but she whispered in his ear: "Don't be so troublesome, you're still in the study."

"Why do you tease me knowing that you are in the study?"

"I won't tell you." Xie Shu gave a low laugh, seeming very happy, but Wei Yizhi always felt different from her usual.

She took off her obscene pants, and sat down slowly with her arms around his neck, frowning slightly, but resisted making a sound.

Wei Yizhi supported her waist, buried his head on her neck, didn't think about those worries, just wanted to hug her and never let go.

The doors and windows are closed, and there are screens to block it, so the sunlight comes in and it is already a little dim.He endured, watching Xie Shu rise and fall on his body, his breathing gradually became short of breath.

Xie Shu's cheeks were flushed, he lowered his eyes and did not look at him, his long eyelashes flickered, and occasionally he could see the crystal tears in his eyes, his lips were bright red, and his lower lip was bitten tightly, which made people feel distressed.

A servant passed by outside the study, although it was just a series of footsteps that did not stop, Xie Shu suddenly became nervous.Wei Yizhi snorted, picked her up and turned her back to press her on the couch, suddenly speeding up.Xie Shu's hair was in a mess, and he closed his eyes and covered his lips, for fear of alarming outsiders.

Wei Yizhi put his arms around her, and suddenly said: "You have lost a lot of weight."

Xie Shu couldn't speak, his nails were sinking into the flesh of his back.

"Why?" He gasped and asked in her ear, still attacking ferociously.

Xie Shu still bit his lip, and said with a low voice for a long time: "I won't tell you."

Wei Yizhi seemed to be angry, but also seemed to be unwilling, and his movements became more and more violent.Xie Shu frowned, endured the slight pain, and licked and kissed the dogwood on his chest to stimulate him.Only then did Wei Yizhi show signs of loosening, and after holding her for a while, he was about to back out, but Xie Shu hugged him tightly, and even wrapped his legs around his waist to prevent him from retreating .

"Ruyi?" Wei Yizhi looked at her in surprise.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Xie Shu hugged him tightly, as if he had just woken up from a haze.

It took a long time for the two to regain their composure. Xie Shu gently pushed Wei Yizhi away, straightened his clothes, and tied his hair back into a bun.Wei Yizhi wanted to ask why again, but looked at her back and didn't make a sound.

After a while, only the well-dressed Prime Minister and King Wuling were left in the study.

Xie Shu pushed open the window and leaned on the edge for a while. After the redness on his face subsided, he turned to Wei Yizhi and said, "King Wuling is going to the battlefield this time, please be more careful."

Wei Yizhi smoothed the folds on the hem of his clothes, looked up at her, unable to say a thousand words, but finally he only said: "Take care, Mr. Xie."
