Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Perhaps Zhao Sheng's personal ability is indeed insufficient, but as the royal family of Zhao State, Zhao Sheng's personal interests are closely linked with Zhao State, and all prosperity and loss will be lost.

So for Zhao Sheng now, what is face and can it be eaten?As long as it can help Zhao Guo, Zhao Sheng can do anything!

It was precisely because of this that after Zhao Sheng knew that Wei Wuji had entered the palace for an audience, he didn't sleep at all, and he didn't even change his clothes.

This is why Zhao Sheng had already appeared in front of Wei Wuji just after Wei Wuji returned to the mansion.

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhao Sheng, with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Pingyuan, let's go in and talk about it."

A moment later, in Wei Wuji's study.

"What?" Zhao Sheng suddenly stood up, his face full of shock, disappointment and disbelief: "Wei Wang has made up his mind to send troops to attack Zhao?"

Wei Wuji nodded helplessly, with an apologetic expression on his face: "Mr. Pingyuan, although I have tried my best to persuade you, the king is not willing to accept it, and"

Wei Wuji sighed, and said: "And I will also set off to return to the fief tomorrow."

Zhao Sheng was stunned.

Zhao Sheng is also a feudal monarch, so of course Zhao Sheng understands what it means to return to the fiefdom.

If it is said that he is in his seventies and eighties, and he may die at any time, then it is normal to return to the fief to take care of his life.

But Wei Wuji in front of him is in his prime, at least he doesn't have much to do with the word "old", so why did he suddenly want to return to the fiefdom?

Then there is only one other possibility.

Wei Wangyu was determined to completely kick Wei Wuji out of the political arena of Wei State.

Not only that, the consequences of returning to the fief may even endanger Wei Wuji's own life.

Mengchang Juntian, who had successively served as the prime minister of Qi and Wei, was forced to return to the fief after failing to fight for power with Wei Wuji, and died in depression.

Ranghou Wei Ran, who had been in charge of the Qin State for decades, died inexplicably not long after being expelled back to his fiefdom by Qin Wangji.

In general, being ordered by the monarch to return to the fief is a very, very dangerous signal.

Zhao Sheng could even imagine that once the news of Lord Xinling's expulsion spreads tomorrow, there would be an uproar in the Wei Kingdom.

An incomparably cruel purge will begin with Wei Wuji's resignation. For Wei Wuji himself and those ministers who stand on Wei Wuji's side, it will be a catastrophe!

More importantly, Wei Wuji's faction is a veritable pro-Zhao faction.

Once the pro-Zhao faction is purged, the pro-Qin faction will inevitably gain power, not to mention the Changping battle, and even in the next five or even ten years, I am afraid that the state of Wei will become the state of Zhao. enemy country.

Zhao Sheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Wuji, it is Sheng and Zhao Guo who have implicated you."

Zhao Sheng understood the reason for Wei Wuji's loss of power very well. It was precisely because Wei Wuji stood on Zhao's side with a clear-cut stand that Wei Wangyu made up his mind to abandon him.

Wei Wuji smiled, and shook his head lightly: "Mr. Pingyuan's words are too much. Your Majesty never likes me. I have foreseen what happened today."

Yes, Wei Wuji is not a fool, he already knew that this brother Wei Wangyu didn't like him, and he also knew that if he continued to be stubborn, he would anger Wei Wangyu sooner or later.

But there are some things that Wei Wuji has to do even if he knows that he will offend Wei Wangyu.

Because this is Wei Wuji's principle.

On matters of principle, never back down, not even in the face of Wei Wangyu.

Zhao Sheng took a look at Wei Wuji, and couldn't help but said, "Wuji, Wei Wangyu treats you like this, don't you?"

Zhao Sheng hesitated to speak, but Wei Wuji understood the meaning of those words that Zhao Sheng did not say.

That's right, although Wei Wangyu is the great king of the Wei state, in the hands of Wei Wuji, it's not that he doesn't have the power to fight back.

Among other things, the 3000 guests in Wei Wuji's mansion alone can form an army of [-] people with a little organization.

Of course, these disciples cannot be compared with the real regular army of Wei State.

But don't forget that at this moment, the real elite army of Wei State is far away in Ye City, not in Daliang City.

Therefore, as long as these three thousand guests are organized properly, it may be of little use.

Let's not forget the secret intelligence network that Wei Wuji has managed with the help of his confidants over the years, covering almost the entire land of the Central Plains, where even things like Zhao Wangyou can be known immediately.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Wei Wuji wants to launch a coup, then relying on the power in Wei Wuji's hands, it really is

There is a lot to do!

So now there is only one question left, that is, will Wei Wuji do this, do he want to do it, dare to do it?

Zhao Sheng stared at Wei Wuji with piercing eyes, waiting for Wei Wuji's answer.

Chapter 1 Fourteen: Wei Wuji's Decision

Such things as killing the king and father for the sake of the throne, killing younger brothers and younger brothers have existed in ancient times, and many of them have even had a major impact on the entire historical process.

Among these incidents, there were two cases with the worst impact.

The first example is the famous King Ping of Zhou.

The reason for the decline of the Zhou Dynasty was that Ji Yijiu, King Ping of Zhou, moved the capital from Gaojing in Guanzhong to Luoyi.

King Ping's eastward migration was also recognized by later historians and scholars as a sign from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Ping Wang Ji Yijiu was originally the prince, but was deposed later.

As a result, Ji Yijiu harbored a grudge against his father, King Zhou You.

In 771 BC, Ji Yijiu colluded with Quanrong and Shen Guo to launch a coup, killed the emperor Zhou Youwang and the queen Baosi, and proclaimed himself king.

Quanrong was the mortal enemy of the Zhou Dynasty, and Ji Yijiu colluded with Quanrong to kill his father and king. This is equivalent to a prince of the Han Dynasty colluding with the Huns to rebel and usurp the throne. The world's princes were shocked and the impact was extremely bad.

Ji Yijiu's legitimacy was thus greatly questioned. The patriarchal system that had been upheld since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty was completely destroyed by Ji Yijiu. The name is not right, the words are not right, and it is not even recognized by major princes such as Lu, and the majesty of Zhou Tianzi has since been wiped out.

Everyone in the world said that King Zhou You's "Princes of Fenghuo Opera" was a foolish king, but the princes of Fenghuo Opera just proved the majesty of King Zhou You and his control over the princes.

And in the era when Ji Yijiu was king, even if Ji Yijiu wanted to play a war with the princes, few princes would pay attention to him.

To put it bluntly, this Zhou Ping Wang Ji Yijiu was the biggest culprit for the decline of the Zhou Dynasty.

After Ji Yijiu usurped the throne, the prestige of Emperor Zhou fell to the ground, and the princes came together to dominate, thus opening the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Another example is Quwo Daijin.

In 745 BC, Jin Zhaohou Jibo sealed his younger brother Ji Chengshi in Quwo, and the seeds of civil strife were planted.

In 706 BC, Ji Chengshi's grandson, Ji Cheng, rebelled and killed Ji Xiaozi, the king of Jin at the time, which started the 28-year Jin civil war.
