Wei Wuhou

Chapter 723

(Everyone, this is the last volume!!)

On March 25th of the second year of Zhou Wangxiao, Wei Zhaohou died in the Yongming Palace, and Wu Yangjun Wei Wuji succeeded as the new Wei Guojun.

This news spread throughout the Kyushu countries in less than a month, and all the heroes looked at it for a while.

The monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom, the man feared by all nations, died just like that...

In the eyes of many people, this news always gives people a feeling of unreality, how could Wei Hou die like this, a person like him should die vigorously.

Although everyone is afraid of Wei Hou's reputation, most of the countries do not have a good impression of him, so there are not many envoys who went to Wei Guo to express their condolences.

On the contrary, it was the State of Qin who sent a hundred thousand troops at the end of March to launch a fierce attack in the direction of Xiguan, which can be regarded as a greeting to Wei Hou's departure.

Under this intensity of attack, Xiguan almost fell, but thanks to the reinforcements sent from the Changping camp, it was able to solve his life-and-death dilemma.

The Qin people's attack was more powerful than before, and it was difficult to continue after the stalemate. The consumption of the [-] troops was also a heavy burden for Qin.

Therefore, this war came and went quickly, and the military incident was eliminated in only one month, and the peace in the west of Wei State was restored.

What is a little reassuring is that the attention of Qi State and Chu State is now on the south, and they did not launch an attack on Wei State to deal with Wu State.

In fact, Wu is the most difficult country among the great powers today. As a result of being suppressed by Qi and Chu, Wu not only vomited out the land he originally occupied, but also lost a lot of his original territory.

It can be expected that Qi State and Chu State are determined to break the backbone of Wu State this time, so that they can have a stable rear.

Therefore, after the attack of Qin State, Wei State once settled down, and there were no attacking enemies in the four directions of east, west, south, east, and north.

Of course, at this time Wei Wuji is naturally acting with his tail between his legs, so it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to make trouble for himself.

Everything is still under control, Wei Wuji's most important thing in Wu'an is to take care of the funeral for his father...that is, the "Wei Zhaohou" mentioned above.

Wei Zhaohou's posthumous title was given by the ministers below. Although Wei Wuji didn't understand it very well, he had no choice but to accept that the word "Zhao" was by no means a bad posthumous title, so he let it go.

Zhaohou's funeral would theoretically last one year, but strictly speaking it only took three months, and Wei Wuji used this time to familiarize himself with various affairs of the court.

After all, he has never made any achievements in politics before, and he needs to learn many things, unless he wants to be fooled by the officials below.

And during this period, when Wei Hou's funeral was coming to an end and he was about to be officially buried, a coup took place in Wu'an, almost knocking down Wei Wuji, who had just taken the position of monarch!
With Wei Wuji's defenses weakened, his elder brother, who had a very weak sense of presence, unexpectedly assembled a team of nearly [-] people and launched a night attack on Wei Palace.

Fortunately, these people lacked complete weapons and armor, and there were not many people, so they were suppressed by the soldiers who rushed over urgently, and the guards in the joint palace.

Although the situation calmed down, the impact it caused was extremely bad, and it also made Wei Wuji's relaxed heart tense during this period of time.

After Qin's army retreated, he lived in some comfort during this period, forgetting that he was in crisis all the time.

After the rebellion was suppressed, Wei Duoxun, the planner, wanted to commit suicide at that time, but was stopped by the soldiers, which left Wei Wuji with trouble.

What should Wei Duoxun do?kill?Or a prisoner?

If it is to kill, of course it is in line with Wei Wuji's wishes... But after all, he is his own brother, how can he be a king to kill his own brother?

Wei Wuji's success depends on the hearts of the soldiers and the people, so he wants to show his tolerance, and he wants his people to feel his benevolence.

Then there is only one way left, and that is to imprison Wei Duoxun, but there are some hidden dangers in doing so!
After Wei Duoxun was imprisoned, the other accomplices were not so lucky. Wei Wuji gave these people severe punishments in order to dig out those behind them.

These people can make such a big commotion in Wu'an City, they must be supported by people from the family, and only they have such great energy.

Wei Wuji didn't deal with the person who was interrogated immediately, he was waiting for everything to come out...

Of course, Wei Wuji didn't intend to make any more disturbances as it was still in the period of Wei Hou's funeral. He just strengthened the control of Wu'an City.

After Wei Duoxun's incident, Wei Wuji was also worried about Wei Jianlin in Xiangping Daying in the south, but issued several edicts to urge him to return to Wu'an for the funeral.

In fact, on the second day after Wei Hou Beng passed away, Wei Wuji ordered Wei Jianlin to come back, but somehow this guy dragged on until now.

Fortunately, half a month before Weihou's funeral, Wei Jianlin, who had been traveling for more than two months, finally arrived in Wu'an!
Only then did Wei Wuji realize that his third elder brother was already haggard, looking as if he was ten years older than before.

It seems that his succession has dealt a severe blow to Wei Jianlin, otherwise Wei Jianlin shouldn't have this face, and in Wei Wuji's heart he shouldn't be like this.

But Wei Wuji also doubted whether this guy's current appearance was deliberately made for himself to confuse himself!

To be honest, Wei Wuji's suspicions have become more and more serious now, which also shows that he has more and more met the standard of a qualified monarch.

Although Wei Jianlin was not in good health, Wei Wuji still arranged for him to stand guard in front of Wei Houling, so that he could be monitored conveniently.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether you are cruel or not, and Wei Wuji even wants to be more cruel and kill these two restless brothers, which will undoubtedly save trouble.

But this is just a thought!
On June 18th, the second year of Zhou Wangxiao (Wei Zhaohou's 25th year), the period of Wei Hou's great funeral ended. Wei Wuji ordered the officials of Wu'an and all the clans to hold a grand court meeting on the first day of June.

This is the first grand court meeting in the true sense since Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne, apart from the previous succession hall.

Everyone understands the great significance of this court meeting, and many people have long been looking forward to the holding of this court meeting.

Those who have contributed to Wei Wuji's rise to power have long been impatient for the delayed reward for meritorious deeds.

Of course, some people look forward to it and some people fear it. The major clans in Wu'an are very anxious about the upcoming court meeting.

Although the new monarch had not done anything to them in recent months, his attitude was not friendly. Many officials from aristocratic families were reprimanded for minor incidents during the funeral.

What's more, some time ago, the eldest son's rebellion happened again. They knew whether there was any aristocratic family involved in it, and this was even more disturbing.

But no matter how panicked they were, the day of the Great Court Meeting was getting closer and closer, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go!
