Wei Wuhou

Chapter 501 Brothers Are Not Brothers 1
(Why is the update so late today? Because...it's so cold that it's so cold that it's hard to type!)
Wei Hou did not announce the final result after all, and such a result is understandable, because no matter what Wei Hou decides in the end, it can be regarded as taking care of the face of the loser.

And after the discussion on this matter is over, the Chaohui will of course have to move on. There are still many things to discuss today.

For example, how to deal with the actions of Qin and Chu in the west after the year, how the war with Qi in the south will end, and how to make Qi pay a greater price.

What I have to say is that the third son Wei Jianlin came out to answer quite a few times, because Gao Chengde, who presided over the Xiangping camp, did not come back.

However, Wei Jianlin's performance was quite good, and the stability and confidence revealed in his words made Wei Hou nod his head.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Chengze, who hadn't said a word in the court hall, felt so depressed in his heart.

Wei Chengze didn't recover from this kind of mood until he came down to court, because no one would be in a good mood after suffering a huge threat.

Now Wei Chengze is like a child who has been robbed of his beloved toy, which makes him who has always been proud how tender he can bear it.

He is the eldest son of Marquis Wei, so he naturally has a sense of superiority among his brothers.

The eldest son Wei Duoxun urinated into the Qi State, and now he is not well-known, and the other younger brothers have no competitive advantage, which highlights Wei Chengze's advantage.

But in the past two years, Wei Chengze has encountered the Waterloo of his life one after another. From a general who led tens of thousands of troops, he now has to compete with other brothers on the same stage.

And all of this, Wei Chengze has never really reflected on himself, and blamed everything on his father's ignorance and the insidiousness of his brothers.

But it just so happens that Wei Jianlin and Wei Wuji, who are now his main competitors, both have no roots in their mother's lineage, and are regarded by Wei Chengze as lowly bastards.

Wei Chengze, who had been protected by his mother all the time, couldn't help but walk to the harem of the Wei Palace after being coldly received at the court meeting. This was his subconscious behavior, because he wanted to ask his mother for advice.

Of course men are not allowed to enter a place like the harem, but Wei Chengze hasn't seen his mother since he came back from the Changping camp, so no one will say anything when he goes to the harem like this.

Walking slowly within the palace walls, Wei Chengze even met a few younger brothers and sisters, who were playing carefree.

After seeing Wei Chengze, everyone got up to behave and saluted Wei Chengze seriously.

Wei Chengze just nodded slightly. These little brothers and sisters are still young, and they are not enough to pose any threat to him.

After walking for a long time, Wei Chengze came to a palace, where he lived for more than ten years.

Seeing that it was Wei Chengze who had arrived, a servant immediately entered the palace to report, and Wei Chengze walked in without stopping.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a woman in gorgeous palace attire came out with a group of maids and servants.

"Son pays homage to mother!" He stood still at the spot, and then bowed deeply to the woman.

That's right, the person who came was Mrs. Wei, a person who had a profound influence in Wei Gong and even Wu'an.

After lifting Wei Chengze herself, Mrs. Wei looked at her son with a melancholy face, and said, "I'm thinner, thinner than before!"

Maybe any mother is like this. After returning from a long journey, she will subconsciously say "thinner".No matter how ruthless Mrs. Wei is to others, she is just an ordinary mother at this time.

A group of people returned to the main hall. After Wei Chengze's mother and son were seated respectively, Mrs. Wei was about to order her servants to get melons and hot tea, but was interrupted by Wei Chengze: "Mother, let them all retreat first, my son has something to say to you." !"

Seeing her son's appearance, Mrs. Wei could roughly guess what it was for, so she waved her hand to make the servants in the hall retreat.

After a long sigh of relief, Wei Chengze said: "Mother, after today's court meeting, I think Lao Wu will go further!"

After hearing that this was indeed the result, the warmth on Mrs. Wei's face gradually disappeared, and then she said: "Xu Anhong must have put in a lot of effort!"

Wei Chengze nodded, and then continued: "Mother, why didn't you stop them?"

However, Mrs. Wei did not answer directly, but said: "Recently, Your Majesty has restricted the Xie family, and even the mother, and now the mother is not the same as before..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei also stopped, because talking too much would cause more troubles.

But Mrs. Wei's words at this time undoubtedly gave Wei Chengze a blow in the head. Could it be that his mother, who is his biggest backing, can't rely on now?
"Mother, is it possible that father is already planning to attack the Xie family?" Wei Chengze asked hastily.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help being stunned, she just complained casually, but she didn't expect her son to have such a big reaction.

"Chengze, you're thinking too much... Our Xie family has been a prominent family for many years, how could your majesty do anything foolish!" Anyway, there is no one else here, so Madam Wei is fine with whatever she says.

"It's just that it's not as good as before, and we can't do it recklessly!" Mrs. Wei sighed.

Only then did Wei Chengze nod his head, and at the same time he was relieved from the bottom of his heart, and then he asked again: "Mom, when did this start?"

Asked this, Mrs. Wei thought for a while before she said: "Do you still remember the incident where Wei Wuji returned to Wu'an to be assassinated after the Changping War last year?"

Seeing his mother mentioning this irrelevant matter, Wei Chengze still nodded and said: "Remember, my son was also strange at the beginning, who sent someone to kill that bastard!"

Mrs. Wei said: "I'm afraid that at that time, your majesty suspected that we were the ones who did it!"

Wei Chengze said, "Mother, is it really someone you sent?" He didn't know it very well, but he remembered that his mother didn't plan this matter at the beginning.

Mrs. Wei shook her head, and then said: "It's not us. I also asked Xie's family later, and it wasn't them who did it!"

Wei Chengze said anxiously at this moment: "Then why does father still doubt us?"

Mrs. Wei said, "Your Majesty didn't send anyone to investigate strictly at that time, so... we couldn't clear up the suspicion!"

At this time, Wei Chengze did not mention these things to Wei Hou face to face, because it was undoubtedly a sign of guilty conscience, and the more he explained, the more likely he was to become more confused.

"So, since then, Your Majesty has imposed some restrictions on us... Otherwise, I would have allowed Mrs. Na Tan to 'die from illness' when she was in the Zongzheng Mansion!" Madam Wei said calmly.

Wei Chengze couldn't help shivering. Although he was Mrs. Wei's biological son, he also grew up under the shadow of this strong mother.

Although he was already the father of several children at this time, Wei Chengze was already a little afraid of this cruel mother, which was also the main reason why the family criticized him deeply.

"Mother, can't you say a few words to Father? After all, he hasn't made a final decision yet!" Wei Chengze said.

But Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "Chengze, if mother were to say this now, I'm afraid she would still be doing Wei Wuji a great favor!"

Wei Chengze was in a hurry, he was the last person who didn't want to see Wei Wuji promoted, because at the beginning he was hated by this fifth younger brother.

On the front line of Changping, in Shangluo City, Wei Chengze lost face more and more every time, and almost died at Wei Wuji's hands.

This also made him have a little fear of this fifth younger brother deep in his heart, of course Wei Chengze himself would not admit it.
