Wei Wuhou

Chapter 739
When the time entered April, Wei Guo, who had just ended the battle in Ludi, made another big move.

Since the death of Wei Zhaohou, Wei State has taken a defensive posture on both sides of the southwest, which made the countries in the southwestern part of Wei State feel at ease. The Emperor Zhou of Shangluo even sent an order to praise his brother-in-law.

However, with the frequent mobilization of troops from Xiguan Camp and Changping Camp, the hearts of the surrounding countries suddenly became suspended, and the short-lived peace might be coming to an end.

…………

On the third day of April in the fourth year of Marquis Wei, Wu'an.

After seeing off Xu Anhong and Guo Liangdong who were discussing matters, the Yongming Hall became quiet. Wei Wuji, who had been busy all morning, was reclining on the soft couch.

In the past ten days or so, Wei State has been mobilized from top to bottom, and countless food, grass and military equipment have been transported to the front lines of Changping Pass and Xiguan.

In Wei Wuji's plan, the primary target of Wei's army this year is Tang and Xiao who rebelled back then.

On the one hand, attacking Tang and Xiao would have far less impact on the southern states than attacking Chen or even marching into Wangji, which could appropriately weaken the hostility of the states.

On the other hand, the two states of Tang and Xiao bordered on the state of Wei, and there was almost no danger in the interior to defend, so it was much easier to attack.

For Wei Guo, the one who really needs to be vigilant in attacking these two countries is Qin Guo in the west... He also borders Tang and Xiao countries, and it is very likely that he will join in.

However, Wei State still chose to fight this battle. Wei State, which has cultivated for nearly four years, is still very confident in facing Qin State, which just ended the Qiang chaos.

All orders have been communicated, all Wei Wuji can do now is to wait for the news!
In fact, Wei Wuji, who was unable to personally participate in the battle, was still a little worried about the situation on the front line. Even if he was sure, he would inevitably be worried.

After rubbing his temples, Wei Wuji stood up and walked slowly to the side hall of Yongming Hall.

The decoration on the left side of Yongming Hall is relatively simple, and even reveals a bit of roughness. This is the key place for Wei Wuji to deduce military aircraft.

On the west wall of the side hall, there is a huge map hanging at this time, covering the main west of Wei State, Tang State Xiao State and Qin Dongdong are all listed on it.

Now the main attack direction of Wei State is west, so the map of Western Xinjiang is naturally hung in this side hall, and the deployment of Wei army's troops is also marked in detail on it.

Walking slowly to the front of the map, Wei Wuji picked up an oil lamp beside him, and looked closely at it...

Behind Wei Wuji, Yu Zhong, who was his personal servant, waved back, and soon three servants entered the side hall holding oil lamps, and came to the map to serve carefully.

Yu Zhong himself also took two steps forward, and after taking the oil lamp from Wei Wuji, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty...you have worked hard all morning, it's time to rest!"

After Wei Wuji still stared at the map for a while, he turned around slowly and said, "It's time to rest... things must always be left to others!"

A few servants quickly moved out of the way, while Yu Zhong was careful to promise, he didn't dare to talk too much about military and political matters!

After coming to the side hall to take his seat, Wei Wuji asked, "Yu Zhong... what time is it?"

Yu Zhong came to Wei Wuji's side and bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it's already two quarters in the afternoon..."

Just when Yu Zhong was about to remind Wei Wuji that it was time to eat, he rushed into a young servant from outside the hall, and he knelt down on the ground after entering the hall, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something has happened. It's..."

Yu Zhong was the head of Wei Palace's servants, seeing that the little eunuch was so ignorant of the rules, he immediately wanted to reprimand him.

But before he could speak, he heard Wei Wuji ask: "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch looked at Yu Zhong full of fear, and then said: "Your Majesty... News from the Zongzheng Mansion that the second son of the former king, Cheng Ze, is dead!"

"Right now...Zong Zhengqing is outside the hall, waiting for your majesty to summon you!"

Hearing this news, Wei Wuji suddenly felt restless, why did such a thing happen at this time.

After more than three years, he almost forgot about this imprisoned brother, and now he actually heard the news of his death.

Wei Wuji's inner distress at this time is not because of the separation of his siblings, but because he is worried that this matter will change the world's views on him.

You know, among Zhaohou's princes, Wei Duoxun, the eldest son, Wei Chengze, the eldest son, and Wei Jianlin, the third son, were all banned by Wei Wuji.

Although this is Wei Wuji's magnanimity, it is still a violation of filial piety in the eyes of the world, but Wei Wuji's prestige covers up these "stains".

But now that Wei Chengze is dead, will the people of Wei think that the monarch is narrow-minded, which killed his brother?
"Your Majesty..." Yu Zhong whispered in Wei Wuji's ear, and then pulled Wei Wuji out of his thoughts.

It was time-consuming and labor-intensive to arrange the battle during this period, but now this incident happened again, which made Wei Wuji suddenly feel exhausted.

Yu Zhong said again at this time: "Your Majesty... Zong Zhengqing is still calling outside the hall!"

This is a big event, but in a sense it is insignificant, just one person died... Whether it is big or small depends on Wei Wuji's will.

At this time, Wei Wuji didn't want to pay attention to this matter, so he said, "Go and tell Zong Zhengqing that Wei Chengze's funeral will be all presided over by him, and he can be buried simply with... Shaoqing's ceremony!"

Although Wei Wuji's words are not many, the meaning inside is extremely rich. This is to leave the problem to Zong Zhengqing, and if something happens, he will naturally find trouble with him.

And the last sentence of a simple burial with Shaoqing's ceremony is even more meaningful...

Before Wei Chengze was confiscated, he was also ranked as a high minister, but now he is simply buried with the ceremony of a young minister... Zong Zhengqing must understand the meaning of this.

If Zong Zhengqing was reasonable enough to bury Wei Chengze hastily, it would suit Wei Wuji's appetite.

Although he will be criticized by others, Zong Zhengqing is a scapegoat for the monarch, and the benefits are naturally great.

After dealing with this matter, Wei Wuji leaned on the throne and slowly closed his eyes, he was really tired at this moment.

In fact, since he meditated on the position of the monarch, his happy life has basically disappeared. Every day, he has to consider various aspects of the country and problems in various places...

So Wei Wuji had to admire his father, how he survived those 18 years, but unfortunately he died in the hands of the villain.

Thinking of these, Wei Wuji couldn't help thinking of Wei Chengze's mother and son, so he felt even more upset!

"Your Majesty... it's time to eat, shall we pass the meal in the side hall?" At this time, Yu Zhong asked from the side.

Not to mention, after Wei Wuji was distracted, he felt really hungry!
Just when he was about to order to pass the meal, he saw a servant carefully approaching from outside the palace, and he recognized that it was from Cao Xin Palace.

After seeing the servant enter the hall and knelt down, he said: "Your Majesty, Madam sent servants to invite you to the banquet. All the concubines are in the Changchun Garden, waiting for you!"

Wei Wuji, who originally wanted to settle his lunch in Yongming Hall, lost his mind after hearing the servant's message.

Although it has entered April, Xia Weiyang doesn't feel too hot, and the sun is shining today, which is a good time to enjoy the garden.

Besides, Wei Wuji felt that in his current state, it was time to relax, otherwise the loss would not be worth the gain if he suffered from illness.

After Wei Wuji nodded slightly, he said to Yu Zhong who was beside him: "Since Madam has an invitation, let's go to the banquet!"

With a smile on his face, Yu Zhong said, "Your Majesty has worked hard for the country day and night, so it's time to take a rest!"

Wei Wuji smiled, and then said: "Let's go, don't make them wait too long!"
