Wei Wuhou

Chapter 752

After Wei Changtian's memorandum was sent out, he soon got a reply from Qin Gong. Qin Guochaotang will send [-] troops to the south, and Wei Changtian will be under the unified command to fight against Wei.

This is roughly the same as what that Mr. Chen thought, but it is somewhat different, because there is also a supervising army with the [-] army.

Moreover, the chief guard of the army is still very familiar with him, and it is the evidence for recommending him to take over the Eastern Daying Camp.

Qin Gong sent his own son to be the supervisor of the army. Although Wei Changtian was a little unexpected, he was not surprised.

The only thing worth pondering is that the sixth son Ying is based in the west of Qi State, so it stands to reason that the third son Yingyuan from the Eastern Group should be the one who was sent to Wei Changtian to supervise the army.

…………

Linzi, the capital of Qi, is still as prosperous as before. It can be seen that the war in the Central Plains did not have much impact on Qi, which also benefited from the monarch's choice.

But is staying out of it really a good option?This question is not something ordinary people can figure out, even Tian Yuwen himself is not sure.

In the palace of Qi, Tian Yuwen was sitting in front of his mother's couch, quietly looking at his mother who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

The scent of medicinal food in the room indicated that the old woman on the bed was dying of illness, Tian Yuwen knew this very well.

It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for him to feel sad when he looks at his mother who has been kind to him in giving birth, but he is more grateful in his heart.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been living in the shadow of his mother all the time. At some point, this old lady became the spokesperson of the family and the one who competed with him for power.

It is precisely because of this that the love between mother and child who have shared weal and woe for many years has also been exhausted by the ruthless struggle.

For now, this is the first time Tian Yuwen has stepped into his mother's bedroom on his own initiative in two years.

At this time, the old woman on the bed seemed to wake up a little bit, after all, she had raised her son for decades, so the queen mother recognized Tian Yuwen immediately.

"Yes... my son is here?" the old woman said weakly.

Tian Yuwen nodded, and then said, "It's my son...he's here!"

After all, she was her own mother, not only did she have a lot of complaints in her heart, but at this time Tian Yuwen still fulfilled her duty as a son of man.

The old lady was really weak, and after Tian Yuwen replied, she babbled for a long time, and the content was nothing more than recalling the hard life back then.

But in the end, Tian Yuwen was still very surprised by what the old lady said.

After talking about the past, the old woman singled out her relationship with the family, and warned Tian Yuwen not to go to war after her death.

These words almost made Tian Yuwen leave on the spot, but in the end Tian Yuwen stayed obediently because the queen mother said something else.

According to the empress dowager, she has stood by the family all these years not to fight for power with her son, but to help Tian Yuwen stabilize the family and become a buffer between the two.

When Tian Yuwen came out of his mother's bedroom, his mind was in a mess, because he didn't know whether what his mother said was true or not.

After being king for many years, Tian Yuwen has almost lost his trust. In his opinion, anyone can lie to him.

After returning to the former dynasty, there were already several important officials waiting in the hall, obviously looking for something to do with the monarch.

After being promoted to his seat, Tian Yuwen said exhaustedly: "What's the matter, just tell me directly!"

Those who appear here are all confidantes who have been promoted since Tian Yuwen succeeded to the throne, so these people are also the most daring to speak.

Immediately, a minister stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Wei are now confronting the people of Qin. I am afraid that Qi State will follow the same rule and send troops to help!"

After hearing this, Tian Yuwen looked at the other people and said, "You think so too?"

The few remaining people did not speak, but the silence also showed their attitude, but they were afraid of Tian Yuwen's majesty and did not dare to speak.

Tian Yuwen didn't have anything to say now, and he was really angry at this moment, because his cronies and ministers didn't have the same idea as him.

At this time, Tian Yuwen couldn't help but envy Wei Wuji, who has completely controlled the power of the country since he ascended the throne.

Looking at the present, after conquering the land of Tang, Wei Wuji can "go his own way" and send a large army to fight Qin again... This is the embodiment of power!

Compared to Wei Wuji, Tian Yuwen feels that he has failed too much these years, and he has not yet healed the court, and there are always discordant voices.

Fortunately, even the cronies he promoted questioned him, Tian Yuwen's pain can be imagined.

But at this time, Tian Yuwen didn't want to get angry, that wouldn't help.

He just said: "Now I have an army of [-], and I will stay in Yuan County and wait for the next day. When the time comes, I can attack the big river and go straight to Wei!"

But these words can't convince the people below. From the overall situation... No matter how difficult Qi is, it should send troops to help Qin.

Yes, the national strength has been weakened by years of wars, and there are still a large number of refugees in Yuanjun and other places who need to be appeased... But the rise of Wei is also a disaster for Qi.

The ministers below actually know that the national army itself understands these principles, and the reason why they hold back is because they have other ideas.

After careful analysis, it can be seen that among the [-] troops sent out, the aristocratic forces have an absolute advantage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the private army of the aristocratic clan.

The dispatch of these troops is not a good time for the monarch to attack the Linzi family?At least Tian Yuwen seems to be so.

And this is precisely the key reason why the people below oppose Tian Yuwen. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the people of Wei to cause internal strife at this time?

But seeing Tian Yuwen like this, it's obvious that the reasoning doesn't make sense, and they can't even say more at this time.

After all, they were promoted by the monarch. Since the monarch never forgets to take back the power together, all they can do is to do their best to assist.

"Since Your Majesty has made a plan, I'm waiting to retire!"

Tian Yuwen was already very annoyed now, and after hearing this, he signaled these people to leave. Now he is more concerned about when he will attack the Linzi family.

These people tasted buds to protect their fiefdom, and then transferred the army over there. Now Wei Guo and Qin Guo are fighting, which is a great opportunity to make a move.

While Tian Yuwen was thinking deeply, there was a loud noise from the side door of the main hall, which made Tian Yuwen think that those people just came back again.

It wasn't until a beautiful woman in disguise walked into the hall that Tian Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. It was his concubine who came.

If Wei Wuji was here, he would be able to recognize that the beauty in the palace is Zhuge Ling, the daughter of the Zhuge family who helped him escape from Linzi back then!
Times have changed, but this girl who was in her prime at the time has married and become Tian Yuwen's wife.

There is no doubt that this is a political marriage. After breaking up with the aristocratic clan, Tian Yuwen took several aristocratic women as wives and concubines in order to ease the relationship with the aristocratic clan in Linzi. Zhuge Ling was one of them.

"What's the matter?" Tian Yuwen just asked procedurally.

He didn't have any feelings for Zhuge Ling, even Tian Yuwen was very conflicted because of the other party's family background.

Zhuge Ling was already accustomed to this, so she knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan'er is unconscious now, please have mercy... Send the imperial physician to see Yuan'er!"

Yuan'er is the child of Zhuge Ling and Tian Yuwen, now he has been suffering from the cold for a long time, but he hasn't seen improvement for a long time.

Tian Yuwen couldn't help frowning and said: "Isn't there an imperial doctor already to see him, why do you still come to seek medical treatment?"

Zhuge Ling couldn't help but feel sad, the best imperial physicians are now guarding the Queen Mother, and the ones sent to her are ordinary imperial physicians, their medical skills are naturally inferior.

But it's a little hard to say clearly, otherwise Zhuge Ling and the queen mother would rob the doctor.

So Zhuge Ling could only cry and said: "Please have mercy on your lord, and send a more capable imperial doctor there, Yuan'er is still young!"

After all, it is his own child, so Tian Yuwen could only nod his head and said: "Understood, you go back first... the widow will send someone there!"

After getting what she wanted, Zhuge Ling also bid farewell to Tian Yuwen knowingly, knowing that she was not welcome.

When she was about to step out of the hall, she heard a deep voice from the throne behind her saying: "Wei Wuji, my widow... I will let you go first!"

Zhuge Ling didn't know that her man was talking big. After she heard the word "Wei Wuji", she lost her mind for a short while.

But soon she returned to normal, and left the hall in a hurry.

Walking quickly on the palace road, Zhuge Ling kept thinking about that name, and the memories that had been suppressed for many years suddenly opened up, and the situation when she was a teenager couldn't help but come back to her mind.

The first meeting in the southern city of Wu'an...in the city of Linzi...and the night of the last parting...

Finally, Zhuge Ling stopped, and the memories that popped up were suppressed by her again, and she tried her best not to think about those things.

"It's over, it's all over..." Zhuge Ling murmured.
