Wei Wuhou

Chapter 202 The Disturbed Court

"I'm waiting to pay my respects to your majesty..."

In Yong'an Hall, after Wei Hou's ascension to the throne, all the ministers bowed down.

Prime Minister Guo Liangdong, Ting Wei Zhao Yu, Yushi Dafu Tian Bushe, Xu Anhong and Wu Mingyan, the five people most responsible for Wei Guoquan, are now kneeling at the front of the court.

Just now Wei Wuji wondered why these people didn't show up, but they followed Wei Hou directly.

And it seems that before the start of the court meeting, Marquis Wei had already gotten along with these pillars of the country.

"Free of courtesy, flat body..."

Marquis Wei's voice was emotionless, as if an eternity had passed between him and His Highness, it made people feel awe-inspiring.

The ministers held up the hem of their official robes and slowly stood up. At the same time, they began to think about the content of today's court meeting. In their minds, they already had a rough idea.

"Today's court meeting, do you have something important to play?" Sitting high on the king's couch, Wei Hou shook his crown in front of his eyes, making it difficult to see his thoughts.

The ministers didn't make a sound, they all waited in silence, they all knew that what was discussed today must be a big matter, and Wei Hou's question was just a formality.

Sure enough, seeing that the ministers were silent, Marquis Wei said, "Since the ministers are fine, let's talk about the first thing first!"

Seeing that Marquis Wei was so serious, all the ministers pricked up their ears, not daring to miss a single piece of information.

"Declaration..."

Following Wei Hou's order, the minister knelt down again, and at the same time his heart was shocked.What trick is this playing?Why did you announce the decree as soon as you came, did your majesty invent a new routine?

"My son, Chengze, is a virtuous and capable person, conscientious and conscientious..."

The eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the hall, but Wei Wuji didn't find it harsh. He always felt that he had heard similar words there before.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that the purpose of his promotion a month ago was not this routine.

"The widow thinks of your meritorious deeds, and specially decrees Jin Rujue to be the head of the concubine, so that you will not be arrogant or rash..."

Wei Wuji's heart sank. He never expected that the first thing he would do today would be to read such an imperial edict.

This also made him suddenly sober, because before this, Wei Wuji lived in a kind of ecstasy, the feeling of being valued or favored by Marquis Wei was still lingering.

Fortunately, this blow woke Wei Wuji up violently, making him realize that he was still an ordinary concubine, not a concubine of Shaoqing.

Not only Wei Wuji was shocked, but the other ministers were also not much better. At this moment when the edict was read out, they had to carefully taste the implied meaning.

On the other side, Wei Chengze was in a dazed state at first after hearing the edict, he was surrounded by the sudden happiness.

After the edict was read out, Wei Chengze's face regained his usual composure, but the complacency in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Especially when he looked at Wei Wuji for a while, the look of contempt was even stronger.

You little bastard, can you compare with me?Wei Chengze sneered in his heart.

Wei Wuji's imperial edict was read out at his home, while Wei Chengze was in the court hall, so the difference in the period was not insignificant.

But Wei Chengze didn't notice that the prime minister among the three giants of the court whom he wanted to be friends with the most, showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes at this moment.

Looking at Wei Chengze's provocative gaze, Wei Wuji shook his head slightly, this guy is really "impulsive".

"I thank you, Lord Long En..." Wei Chengze prostrated himself on the ground and took the edict carefully.

There was silence in the hall, and the ministers looked at Wei Chengze with meaningful eyes. This young master is probably one step closer to the position.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing..."

While everyone was scrutinizing, Wei Hou's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts again.

The blunt turning point made the ministers a little overwhelmed.

According to the past practice, after the imperial edict is read out, shouldn't the emperor be exempt from courtesy, not to mention, Wei Chengze is still his own son.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes on Wei Chengze changed again.

Obviously, Wei Chengze was also aware of this problem, which made his face turn pale, and the joy just now was washed away a lot.

On the throne, Wei Hou said in a low voice, "Xu Zhuguo, come and tell the ministers about the situation!"

Xu Anhong bowed in front of the class, and then stood up and said, "The minister leads the decree..."

Turning around, Xu Anhong faced all the ministers, and then said in his vicissitudes of voice, "Yesterday, the horse rushed to report that the two kingdoms of Chu and Wu have been closed by Chen Bing, and our Changping defenders are confronting him..."

Although it had been expected, when Xu Anhong said it, the ministers were still terrified. The situation has developed to the present, and Wei Guo is about to face the three major powers.

As the two major powers in the south, Wei Guo has dealt with them a lot, and he is well aware of the difficulties of these two countries.

In recent years, Chu and Wu have been busy annexing small neighboring countries, and wars broke out between the two sides from time to time. It is extremely rare for the two countries to coerce Wei together this time.

"The urgent report I received yesterday was probably five or six days ago..." an official murmured.

From Changping Pass to Wu'an, if you use fast horses to deliver news non-stop, it will indeed take five or six days.

"Now, the front line is probably already fighting..." A minister lost his voice, and then his face was full of horror.

Although the state of Wei is not afraid of other countries, the strength of the enemy is unquestionable, making it difficult to feel relaxed.

"And... the Qi army in Linjiang is also making moves, and the Qi army on the south bank of the river is also restless..."

"hiss……"

Following Xu Anhong's narration, everyone in the hall took a deep breath, and the situation became even more dire!

Afterwards, Xu Anhong introduced the basic situation of Wei Jun to everyone. Compared with the two, even Wei Wuji, who was fearless and fearless, felt that the matter was extremely difficult.

Changping Pass has been repaired for a short time, and its defensive power has not been compromised. In addition, the garrison troops have also been replenished, so it is not very dangerous.

Unless the Chu and Wu countries are like Wei, desperately fighting for their lives, then it is possible to attack.

But this kind of possibility is equal to nothing. The grievances between Chu and Wu are destined to make it impossible for them to cooperate closely, let alone hand over their backs to each other.

"For this... Do you have any suggestions?" On the throne, Wei Hou's complexion remained unchanged, his majesty was still serious.

It's still quiet... In this case, let's wait for others to speak first.

"I would like to report to my lord... the humble opinion of the minister, it is better to send an envoy to discuss peace with Chu and Wu..."

Before the minister could finish his sentence, he was slammed back by shouts of abuse.

"Short-sighted..."

"madness……"

The minister retreated in embarrassment, and then stayed in the court obediently, blaming himself for being too rash.

With the comparison of this minister, the others looked filled with righteous indignation, and they simply hated the two countries of Chu and Wu.

"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Chu and Wu are wolves with ambitions, and we, the Great Wei, cannot shrink back. We have to fight head-on when facing wolves." A minister stood up and said in court.

Wei Hou's personality is that he refuses to admit defeat, and now he ran out to negotiate a peace, that is not courting death.

And from the perspective of the game, if Wei Guo proposes to negotiate a peace first, it will not be a show of weakness to the enemy, and it will be even more unfavorable to him.

"Your Majesty, the Great Wei has 50 armor, so why be afraid of Chu and Wu..."

"The subject is not talented, and is willing to die for the king..."

In the main hall, the voice of the main battle became stronger and stronger, and there was even a fanatical atmosphere.

"Fuck..." Wei Wuji thought to himself.

Then, he also stepped out of the court and stood in the center of the hall.
