Wei Wuhou

Chapter 712

Swords were on the verge of breaking out at Changping Pass, and in Wu'an City far to the north, people were also panicking at this time.

The entire Wu'an City has been under martial law since half a month ago. Except for the specified time, people are not allowed to stay on the streets at any other time.

Outside Wu'an City, there was also a large army gathering, [-] Wei soldiers and Han Xiaoling's cavalry demanded to enter the city, while the Wu'an garrison and other garrisons of the Wu'an camp obeyed the order of Lord Supervisor to stop these troops who wanted to enter the city.

Although there were quite a few people who obeyed Wei Chengze, the son of the supervisor, and the total number was [-] to [-], but what they were facing was the [-] assembled Wei soldiers, plus the [-] cavalry under Han Xiaoling's men. Not so much.

The reason why the confrontation is still maintained at the moment is because Wei Hou's life and death are still unknown, and the specific situation in Wu'an City is also unclear, so the Wei soldiers did not attack rashly.

However, Wei Wuzu's choice of confrontation with Pao Ze undoubtedly revealed their mentality, which is extremely distrustful of the family.

They have reason to suspect that it is people from the lineage who want to put the monarch to death!
But in fact, the four major families, as the representatives of the family, do not want to bear the crime of murdering the monarch in their hearts, because it is really not one of them who did it.

In fact, now they are gathered together to plan for the future.

Now the matter is very clear, it wasn't the king who was murdered by the four major families, it was the one who benefited the most!
So who is benefiting the most right now?Of course it is Wei Chengze who has become the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom. This person is only one canonization ceremony short of getting the coveted crown prince.

After it was deduced that Wei Chengze might have done it, the four major families conducted a detailed investigation on this, only to find that this and his mother, Mrs. Wei, were the most suspected.

Hence, during today's routine conversation, the Xie family, Mrs. Wei's mother family, suffered repeated accusations from the other three families.

Of course they have a reason to do so, Wei Hou is now in a coma, causing domestic turmoil is something they don't want to see.

This not only made them lose the time to continue the layout, but also pushed them to the cusp of the storm, forcing them to fight with the poor family to the death.

But today, although they were scolded miserably, the Xie family did not show their anger, because everyone was already on the same boat at this time.

In the past, some people here actually didn't want to support the second son Wei Chengze, but now the third son Wei Jianlin is far away in the country of Lu, so these people had to stand by Wei Chengze's side.

This means that within the family, Wei Chengze's position has already been established... As long as Wei Wuji's power is cut off, the second son Wei Chengze will become the new king of the Great Wei Kingdom!

However, everyone present understood that it was as difficult as heaven to cut off Wei Wuji's power!
It is now mid-February, and many messages have been sent back from the front line of Changping Pass, fully showing the mutiny of the Changping Camp to everyone present.

In the past few days, people in the family have gathered together to discuss, but nothing has been discussed...

After all, strength has the final say. Now that the Changping camp has been taken by Wei Wuji, the family no longer has the power to deal with Wei Wuji.

"Changping camp did not respond to the imperial edict sent by the court. This Wei Wuji is a soldier!" said Wang Jian, the old patriarch of the Wang clan, and at this moment he did not forget to glare at Xie Linyun next to him.

The passive situation in front of him is not the masterpiece of this good sister and nephew.

Xie Linyun immediately said: "Old Wang, no one wants to think about it now, you should always think about how to solve the problem in front of you!"

Solving the problem... If it was so easy to solve the problem, none of them would have a headache for a few days.

At this time, Zhang Lin on the side said: "According to the reports from the people below, Wei Wuji launched a mutiny and drove Wu Mingyan and others... Then he vigorously promoted his cronies in the army. Could it be that the Changping Camp will also be like the Lingbei Camp? Same, become a monolith?"

The Changping camp is the most powerful, if it is really completely controlled by Wei Wuji, then it will be the worst news for everyone present, although they know that it has become a fact.

But these few people don't know right now, a bigger bad news is about to come!
I only heard an old voice outside saying to the inside: "Patriarch, there is news... Xiguan Camp leader Zheng Chang is under house arrest, Changping Camp and Xiguan Camp have exchanged troops for defense!"

The patriarch of the outside population is Zhao An, the patriarch of the Zhao family who is the host today!
After hearing this news, the four people present almost turned into four people. This news is definitely a bolt from the blue!
The Xiguan camp is their last hope, but who knows that Zheng Chang is also a waste, and now he is under house arrest on his own territory and has lost his military power!
The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became dignified, and now they can really feel that the end is coming!
…………

The people of the aristocratic family have a long way to go, but for Wei Chengze who is now in the palace, the sky is also gloomy.

Yes, the reason why Marquis Wei couldn't afford to get sick and lingered on the sickbed was caused by the joint efforts of him and his mother, Mrs. Wei.

Because both mother and son knew that even if Marquis Wei did not appoint Wei Wuji as the crown prince in the end, it might not be Wei Chengze's turn to ascend to the crown prince.

So, they chose to take the risk. Mrs. Wei, as the closest person to the Marquis of Wei, the person with supreme authority in the entire Wei palace... poisoned her husband with her own hands!

Poison is a slow poison, not even a poison. She uses the principle of mutual generation and restraint of medicine, which is the article written on Weihou's food.

So there was a later scene, when Marquis Wei fell ill, the poison that he could resist before immediately devoured his body.

But even so, Wei Chengze was still dissatisfied. He desperately wanted to gain power, because he couldn't stand his younger brothers, all of whom were stronger than him.

So, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wei Chengze took advantage of Wei Hu's absence and threw poison into his father's medicine!

Then there is the current situation, Wei Hou is directly unconscious, and he, Wei Chengze, is directly regent and supervises the country!

But after taking this position, Wei Chengze realized that things were not that simple. His status as regent and supervisor of the country was not much different from his status as a prince.

In addition to being able to mobilize the guards in the palace, even Wu'an's city defense force, he couldn't get in.

Not to mention the army of Wu'an Camp, and his younger brother who is thousands of miles away and holds a heavy army!
But at this moment, Wei Chengze has completely lost the idea of ​​wishing his father to die sooner. At this moment, he even hopes that Wei Hou can hold on for a while before postponing it. It would be even better if he could wake up!

The reason why he had such an idea was that Wei Chengze could not control the situation at all. He was afraid... afraid that after his father died, there would be even greater changes.

So it's ridiculous to say that after personally poisoning his father, Wei Chengze has become the person who cares most about Marquis Wei these days, and has become a filial son in the hearts of the palace people.

At this time, Wei Chengze had just left from Marquis Wei, and when he arrived outside his mother's bedroom, he was shocked by a news inside.

"Wei Wuji embraces his own strength, and has now seized the military power of Changping Camp and Xiguan Camp!" This is the voice of a servant, reporting the situation to Mrs. Wei inside!
Hearing this news, Wei Chengze didn't even stand still, and fell down after a burst of dizziness.

Fortunately, the palace people nearby did not let him sit down on the ground, but at this time they also alarmed Mrs. Wei inside,

"What's going on?" Mrs. Wei's face sank like water, and she walked out with a few servants.

Seeing his mother, Wei Chengze asked with difficulty: "Mother, is the news just now true? Wei Wuji really won the military power of those two camps?"

Even if she couldn't figure out why Wei Wuji took over the military power so easily, but the facts were in front of her, Madam Wei could only nod at this moment.

But she didn't want her son to be discouraged, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, my son, as long as you thank Zhao and Zhang Wang for standing by your side, everything will have a chance!"

What Mrs. Wei didn't know was that the four big families he called Hope were also shocked by this news, as if a catastrophe was imminent.
