Wei Wuhou

Chapter 269
February 13th in the ninth year of Zhou Wangzhao, that is, February [-]th in the [-]th year of Wei Hou.

Today, after Chang Chao dispersed, the Prime Minister and the others returned to the official office, and before their buttocks were hot, they received an urgent report from the palace, asking everyone to enter the court to discuss the state affairs.

Guo Liangdong walked quickly within the palace walls. Now that he is in his fifties, he has already lived up to the energy of his youth. This kind of fast walking is a great burden for him.

But the emperor had an edict, and as a subject, he could only obey orders, but Guo Liangdong murmured in his heart when it came to the matter to be discussed later.

At the same time, Tingwei Zhao Wei, Yushi doctor Zhang Yu, and Xu Anhong and Wu Mingyan, who were important ministers of the country, were also full of doubts in their hearts at this time.

Your Majesty summoned the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs, the matters to be discussed will definitely not be small...

After several people entered the main hall one after another, they saw Wei Hou sitting there with a solemn expression on the high throne.

In the main hall, there was already a person standing there, but he was not wearing a standard official robe, but a black brocade robe.

Seeing this person, Prime Minister Guo Liangdong reacted the most. When he crossed the threshold, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

If he is not good, he has a big opinion on this person, because this person is Wei Hou's number one aide... Lu Qingliang.

As Wei Hou's confidant, Wei Hou will ask him for advice on the country's great affairs most of the time, and his influence is not insignificant.

And some officials are willing to reach his line in order to have a smooth official career. If Master Lu can be beautiful in front of the king, it is almost certain that he will be successful in the future.

Therefore, although Lu Qingliang has no official rank, he has won the title of "Hidden Prime Minister" in the court.

And because of this, Guo Liangdong was very dissatisfied with Lu Qingliang. He obviously had himself as a prime minister, but there was a hidden prime minister. This was a shame for him as a prime minister.

He still remembers how that person overwhelmed the Prime Minister when he was called Yin Xiang more than ten years ago. Even though that person died a terrible death later, he still couldn't bear this uncomfortable feeling.

Although he really wanted to kill that person, in front of Marquis Wei, Guo Liangdong would not let this kind of thought slip through. Everyone thought that he just couldn't understand Lu Qingliang.

"My lord!" A group of ministers bowed down in unison after they stood up in the hall.

This place is different from the Zhou family. When paying homage to Marquis Wei, everyone was careful not to make any mistakes in etiquette.

"Get up!" Marquis Wei said in a deep voice, his voice was full of majesty, and the ministers below couldn't help but be more respectful.

After everyone stood up one by one, Marquis Wei waved his hand, and then a servant holding a silk-wrapped item slowly walked down to Bibi Dan and came among the ministers.

Guo Liangdong and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Junhou meant by this move.

At this time, Wei Hou said: "This is an urgent report from Shangluo, you all have to read it!"

As soon as they heard that it was an urgent report from Shangluo, the doubts in everyone's hearts were relieved. What happened there was indeed a great event.

"Could it be Mr. Wuji, after watching the Nine Cauldrons of Shenzhou, all the countries are afraid of my Great Wei's destiny, and have already bowed down?" Xu Anhong laughed, and he didn't know if he was joking or had some deep meaning.

The news that Wei Wuji defeated all the nations and was allowed to see the Nine Cauldrons of Shenzhou, after the urgent report came more than ten days ago, has now spread all over the upper echelon of Wei State, which also makes many people even more jealous.

At the same time, I don't know who is pushing this heavy news, and it has been spread all over Wu'an City. It can be imagined that it won't be long before the Wei people will have something more to talk about.

This matter is now being told by Xu Anhong in court, but it has touched the nerves of many people.

Unexpectedly, Wei Hou, who has always been majestic and indifferent to his emotions and anger, showed a smile, and then said slowly: "This matter is also related to the fifth child!"

Regarding this, there was no fluctuation in the hearts of the people, and it was normal for the news from Shangluo to be related to Wei Wuji.However, what does your majesty mean by specifically mentioning Wei Wuji?
This is what these ministers need to ponder in their hearts. They have already reached the top of Wei's ruling class, and what they need to ponder most now is the monarch's mind.

Of course the prime minister was the first to read the urgent delivery, then the imperial doctor, and then the court lieutenant...

Except for Wei Hou and Lu Qingliang who knew the reason, everyone who read this emergency report turned extremely ugly.

"Since you have read it, let's share your opinion on this matter!" When Marquis Wei said this, his eyes were on Guo Liangdong.

As prime minister, Guo Liangdong should be the first to speak.

Then he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this young master's move... is very wrong!"

Weihou was expressionless. Whenever the courtiers expressed their opinions, he always looked like this, so that the people below could not see through his thoughts.

Guo Liangdong continued: "Your Majesty, according to the report, Qi State came prepared, how can we defeat Qi State in a hurry."

What Guo Liangdong said is very reasonable, and under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible to refute it, but Lu Qingliang on one side took it up, and then said: "I thought that the prime minister would worry that after the young master threatened the Tang and Song countries, the diplomatic relations with these two countries would be broken. , but never thought that what the prime minister is worried about is here."

Guo Liangdong didn't take it seriously when others satirized him, and he just said indifferently: "Tang and Song countries are attached to my great Wei, so it is only natural to help my great Wei, and you should be punished if you can't help!"

Guo Liangdong's words, however, also showed the demeanor of a big country in power, ignoring the joy and anger of a small country, and playing with it in the palm of its hand.

"The prime minister's demeanor, I admire..." Lu Qingliang said with a smile.

Then he changed the subject and said coldly: "But the prime minister said that the young master's trip was too reckless, but I don't agree with it."

Guo Liangdong didn't change his face, he just wanted to see what Lu Qingliang could say.

"The land of Chen is already under our control. Even if Qi wins, it's up to us to decide whether to give it or not. On the contrary, the young master gave us a chance to legitimately occupy the land of Chen." Lu Qingliang paced up a few steps.

"Then what about Linjiang? Could it be possible to lose to Qi?" Guo Liangdong questioned.

This question was not easy for Lu Qingliang to answer. Linjiang was originally an important town in Wei State, how could he give up lightly, even though it is now occupied by Qi State.

At this time, it can be seen that relatives and friends are coming, who will come to support Wei Wuji?Even in the face of the prime minister.

Xu Anhong, the old guy stood up and bowed to Marquis Wei before he arrived: "Your Majesty sees clearly, although this young master's move is a little reckless, but it also shows my great Wei's courage to swallow the world, let him All sorts of schemes, let's continue, let's not care about those who don't make sense."

Speaking of this, Xu Anhong even squinted at Guo Liangdong. With his position, he was not afraid of the prime minister's pressure at all.

As for the Linjiang issue raised by Guo Liangdong, Xu Anhong deliberately ignored it. The Prime Minister was very angry, and secretly scolded these old men for being thick-skinned.

At this point, Marquis Wei still didn't say a word, and made it clear for everyone to continue talking.

Those who have not yet spoken are Ting Wei Zhao Wei, Yushi doctor Zhang Yu, and Zhu Guo general Wu Mingyan.

Just when Xu Anhong looked at Wu Mingyan, he found that the other person was also looking at him with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Anhong secretly thought that it was not good, so he saw Wu Mingyan stepping out, came to the center of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, the fifth son is a child with a yellow mouth, and his arbitrary behavior is really a disaster for our Great Wei!"
