"Prince, since you think that the king sharpened the current Yin Yang family, then who do you think the king sharpened this knife to deal with?"

"Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling!"

"Hehe, that's right. Now that the Yin-Yang family is in great trouble, and Lord Xinling Wei Wuji's tail is in trouble, it's time for Your Majesty to sharpen another knife!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Wei Zeng laughed out loud.He knew that this time, his own rise was a certainty.Thinking of him as a nameless prince of the Wei Kingdom, he has to endure the suspicion of the king and guard against the plots of his own brothers on weekdays, so he can't cultivate his own power.One can imagine how painful the day was.Now, he finally ushered in an opportunity, how could he not make him happy?

"Boy, thank you Xiangguo for your love. I wonder what Xiangguo wants?" Wei Zeng, who calmed down after laughing for a while, knew that it was time to negotiate terms with the old fox, Gongsun Yi.

Chapter 46 Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling

"Prince, you are worrying too much. The old minister is already old and won't live for a few more years, so what's the point?" Gongsun Yi shook his hand and said with a helpless smile.Every move, every word is full of old anger, as if he really won't live long.

The corners of Wei Zeng's mouth curled up slightly, showing a hint of disdain.However, his tone was respectful and he said: "Master Xiangguo, you are welcome. You are strong and strong, and you will surely live a long life."

"Hehe, the old minister borrowed the prince's good words." Gongsun Yi said with a smile, but then his face changed, and he sighed sadly.

Wei Zeng has sharp eyes, and Gongsun Yi's actions naturally did not escape his eyes.Wei Zeng sneered in his heart: "Old fox, after all, the fox's tail is showing!"

"Master Xiangguo, why are you sighing?" Wei Zeng asked calmly, with a look of concern on his face.

"Well, to be honest, the prince, the old minister is old, but fortunately he has many children and grandchildren in his family, full of wives and concubines. It's just that my youngest son is the most incompetent. Now that he has passed his thirties, he is not even a decent man. The errands are not messed up. The old minister is also worried about him!"

"Hmph! So you're waiting here!" Wei Zeng couldn't help feeling a little angry when he heard this.Gongsun Yi is already the Prime Minister of Wei State, it can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people.If he wants to go further, he will definitely endanger the rule of King Wei. This old fox has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he will not fail to understand this truth.It was also like this that he was deeply trusted by Wei Wangyu.

Now, this old fox has nothing to gain for himself, and now he actually started to gain benefits for his son.

"Xiangguo loves his son very much, so the boy naturally understands. So what kind of position does Xiangguo want to seek for your son?" Wei Zeng continued to ask without showing any emotion on the surface.

"Well, it's the old minister's fault. This child was the old minister's son. He loved him very much and was spoiled. Now, he has no other skills, but he has a lot of trouble-making abilities. Therefore, the old minister wants to send him to the army. In the middle, temper your temper a little bit." Gongsun Yi said sadly.

"You still want to join the army!" This time, Wei Zeng was really angry.Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, except for Chu, most of the army was formed by the private soldiers of the nobles.The armies of the other six countries are directly controlled by the monarchs. Even in the Chu Kingdom, the King of Chu has the absolute right to speak.

Now, Gongsun Yi actually wants to join the army, which is undoubtedly a big taboo.Even if Wei Zeng is not the king of Wei, but at least he bears the status of a prince, this kind of thing is naturally intolerable.

However, Wei Zeng has no strength now and can only rely on Gongsun Yi.In desperation, Wei Zeng could only say: "I will recommend my son to my father as Sima in the army."

Congjun Sima is not a high-ranking official, but for a noble like Gongsun Yi, this is not important.As long as he can get a rank in the army, it will not be difficult for him to push his son to the position of general with the strength he has accumulated in Wei State for decades.

"Thank you, old minister, Prince!" Gongsun Yi benefited and learned to be good.Standing up quickly from his seat, he said thankfully.It looked as if Wei Zeng was his savior.

Having benefited and achieved his goal, Gongsun Yi didn't stay for long, sat for a while, and then sat back on the excuse that he was old and impatient.

Wei Zeng personally sent Gongsun Yi to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and before leaving, he specially saluted Gongsun Yi to express his gratitude.

Wei Guoxin Mausoleum

It was already late at night, but a place in Xinling City was still brightly lit.Everyone in Xinling knew that there lived the most honorable person in the state of Wei besides the king of Wei—the king of Xinling, Wei Wuji.

In the middle of the night, Wei Wuji did not fall asleep.Just a few hours ago, he also received a secret report from Yecheng, and now he is convening his staff to discuss how to eradicate the Yinyang family, which King Wei used to deal with him.

"Your Majesty! Big Liang is here to report!" Just as Lord Xinling was discussing with his staff in full swing, a powerful voice came from outside the door.

"Come in, Wei Xu!" Wei Wuji said, rubbing his aching head.

"Your Majesty!" A middle-aged man named Wei Xu walked up to Wei Wuji, and took out a small leather bucket painted with wax from his cuff.

Wei Wuji glanced at the mark on the leather barrel and frowned.There is a strange symbol on it, which may not be understood by others, but whether it is Wei Xu or the others in this room, they are all Wei Wuji's confidantes.They naturally understood that this meant that the leather barrel contained extremely important information.

Wei Wuji immediately tore off the wax paint and took out a bamboo slip inside.

"Everyone, let's take a look." With a livid face, Wei Wuji handed the bamboo slips to one of the surrounding staff.

As soon as the staff took the bamboo slips, they saw a few words written on the bamboo slips: "Gongsun Yi will enter the Prince's Mansion tonight."

The people who can stand here are all smart people.After seeing the bamboo slips, the staff member immediately showed a look of shock on his face.Immediately, the atmosphere in the whole room became tense.

After everyone finished reading the content on the bamboo slips, they fell silent.Everyone knows that you can't get ahead now, and if you don't come up with any effective insights, you probably won't appear in this room next time.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Wei Wuji couldn't help but feel angry.

"Wuji treats you well, but now that Wuji is in trouble, will you just stand by and watch?"

After hearing Wei Wuji's words, all the staff buried their heads lower.

Seeing that the group of staff he trusted so much in the past is now dumb, Wei Wuji's originally expressionless face gradually began to look a little ferocious.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" In the end, it was Wei Xu who spoke.He was one of the soldiers who helped Zhao Kangqin ten years ago. Originally, he and his elder brother and younger brother were in the army. Facing the tiger and wolf Qin, all three of them were afraid that if they died in battle, their parents, younger brothers and sisters would have no one to take care of them.Just at this time, Wei Wuji stole the military amulet and announced the military order that "all fathers and sons are in the army, the father returns, brothers are all in the army, the elder brother returns, and the only son returns".

Although his younger brother died in Handan in the end, Wei Xu was still very grateful to Lord Xinling.Later, relying on his own efforts and persistent pursuit of Lord Xinling, he finally became the confidant of Wei Wuji's confidant, and he was given the surname Wei.

Seeing that none of the staff in the room dared to speak, and seeing that the emperor was a little annoyed.Wei Xu knew that he had to speak out at this time, otherwise Wei Wuji would hate the whole staff in the room.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that the current strategy is to get rid of the Yin-Yang family first." Wei Xu said with a bow.

Chapter 47 The Wind Rises

In fact, after Wei Wuji opened his mouth, he knew that he had said something wrong.He knew that if he couldn't handle the relationship with the staff in this room well tonight, then his reputation of Ai Xian, who had worked so hard for decades, would be ruined.

Of course, Wei Wuji also knew what these staff members were thinking, so he had no intention of accusing them.It's just that Wei Wuji had been plotting with his staff for several hours before, and his energy was already lacking.Now that I have just received a secret report from Daliang, I am just impatient.But as Lord Xinling, he was the master, and he couldn't bow his head, so he was caught in a dilemma.

However, fortunately, Wei Xu's words gave Wei Wuji and his staff a step down.

Wei Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Wei Xu approvingly and said, "Wei Xu, you are from the army after all, you should listen to the opinions of gentlemen."

Of course Wei Xu understands that Wei Wuji is hinting to his staff that I have already given you the face, and I will be impolite if I don't say anything else.

"Wei! This subordinate is guilty!" Wei Xu said loudly.

With Wei Xu as the foreshadowing, this group of staff members finally raised their heads, and they were very grateful in their hearts, and they all cast grateful glances at Wei Xu.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate believes that General Wei Xu's words are not unreasonable." An aide stood up and saluted Wei Wuji.

"Tell me." Wei Wuji sat down again and said.

"Looking at the current state of Wei, besides the king, the monarch is undoubtedly the strongest. The king uses the Yin-Yang family to deal with the monarch. It is undoubtedly a brother-in-law killing a tiger. Now half of the city of Ye is in trouble. The Yin Yang family must be eliminated."

Wei Wuji sat on the blanket, nodded slightly, but did not comment.

"Brother Tang is right, but if your lord wants to concentrate on dealing with the Yin-Yang family now, after all, the prince will take advantage of the situation, which will definitely be bad for your lord!" Another aide said worriedly.

The staff member surnamed Tang chuckled, and continued: "Of course I know this, but now the Yin-Yang family is really powerful, and the crown prince is almost there after all. Moreover, Your Majesty does not need to deal with the Yin-Yang family with all his strength, he only needs to put in a little effort." Yes. At that time, there will naturally be someone who will get rid of the Yin-Yang family for Your Majesty."

The words of the staff surnamed Tang finally aroused Wei Wuji's interest.Wei Wuji, who was sitting a little casually at first, straightened his clothes, sat upright and asked, "Sir, please speak more carefully!"

"Half of the city of Ye was destroyed, the most heartbroken is not the people who lost their relatives, nor the nobles who lost their wealth, but another person..."
