"Morning Xiangguo."

"Morning King."

Murong Xun walked over, with his hands behind his back, like a gentleman, looking at the papers that Yan Wuwei had approved, nodded and commented, "Well, Xiangguo has worked hard."

Yan Wuwei glanced at the sleepy Murong Xun, and said politely, "The king has won the award."

"Xiangguo is so capable, he should be rewarded alone."

"In this way, it's time for the minister to repay the king again."

Murong Xun: "..."

My Lord Xiangguo, I think what I said may not mean the same as what you said.

"Huh?" Yan Wuwei put down his pen, looked at Murong Xun leisurely, and asked, "Your Majesty woke up?"

"Um…"

"Go wash and eat." Yan Wuwei picked up a memorial and opened it, without reading it, and said to Murong, "I'm still busy, so I won't accompany the king."

"...Thank you Xiangguo."

After Murong Xun washed and ate the morning food, when he came to look for Yan Wuwei again, there were only a few memorials left on the desk.

"Huh... you read so fast?" Murong Yan thought to himself, should he pretend to be sick every day in order not to approve the memorial, so that Yan Wuwei can do it for him.

"It's all the forecasts of various ministries at the beginning of the new year, nothing major."

"Oh, I just said..."

"By the way—" Yan Wuwei remembered something, and said to Murong, "I forgot to tell you something yesterday."

"what?"

"Gongsun Ji, he has already set his sights on Xiangguo Mansion."

Chapter 9 8

"Gongsun Ji—" Murong Yan sneered when he heard the name, "Have you lost your composure so soon?"

Yan Wuwei lowered his eyebrows, "I'm already in my sixties, I can't wait any longer."

"Jin'er, what should I do?"

"hold on."

"wait--?"

Yan Wuwei smiled, "Chongming just came back from his travels and brought me a message."

"what?"

"The Kingdom of Shu is ruled by the river. It is the Kingdom of Shu in name, but in fact it is divided between Ba people and Shu people. The well water does not interfere with the river water. Does the king know about this?"

Murong Xun nodded. In the early years, the Kingdom of Shu was the place where the emperor inspected. Because of the dangerous terrain and thousands of miles of fertile soil in the pass, he was named Shu and entrusted to his ministers. The ministers led an army of [-] to Shu, but the aboriginal Ba people were dissatisfied. The courtiers ruled the country and gathered together to fight against it. It lasted for a hundred years. Later, a descendant of the courtiers succeeded to the throne, tired of the war. After discussing with the leaders of the Ba people, the Jialing River was used as the boundary. , defending against foreign enemies together, more than two hundred years ago.

"The seventh prince of the King of Shu is a sweetheart. He doesn't like the court, but prefers the mountains and rivers. A few years ago, he picked up a dumb girl when he went out to play."

"—Mute girl?" Murong Xun was a little puzzled.

"Yes, a young dumb girl." Yan Wuwei smiled and continued, "The Seventh Prince fell in love with that dumb girl for a long time, and later took the dumb girl as his side concubine and gave birth to a little prince, whom the Seventh Prince liked very much. The year before last, the king of Shu passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne, but within a year he fell ill and died..."

"I know about this matter. The envoys of the Shu Kingdom also handed over the booklets back to the capital, and the Qin Kingdom also sent people to express their condolences."

Yan Wuwei pulled Murong Yan into the room, and said, "The new king died of illness and had no heirs, so the ministers chose another prince to succeed him, but it was a coincidence that this prince succeeded to the throne less than a month ago. I also got a sudden illness and went."

"I guess—except for the seventh prince, all the heirs got 'sudden illness' and passed away?"

"That's right, so in the end the Seventh Prince became the King of Shu."

"and then?"

"There is a capable man among the ministers of the Kingdom of Shu, named: Qi, he suspected that everything was done by the dumb girl, so he secretly checked, and sure enough—the dumb girl is not a dumb girl, but Baba. The first daughter of the leader: Weird."

Murong Xun frowned, "If my guess is correct, the Seventh Prince might also have contracted that 'sudden illness', right?"

Once the seventh prince died, the dumb daughter and young son succeeded to the throne, and the birth mother supervised the country. In this way, within ten years, the Kingdom of Shu would be changed to the Kingdom of Ba.

"Yes——" Yan Wuwei looked at her and smiled, "Qi saw through the dumb girl's plan, entered the palace at night, and met the seventh prince. After learning the truth, the seventh prince was furious and gathered an army of [-] by the river. I swear to kill people with blood."

"The insiders of the Qin State did not report such a big matter." Murong Yan's eyes were a little deep, "It's ridiculous——"

"Based on the current situation, Bashu will go to war in the near future. I have sent a team of troops to enter Shu secretly, and the latest information from Shu will come back soon. Don't be angry, Your Majesty." Yan Wuwei paused, then said , "Once Bashu goes to war, the Ba people who lost to the Shu army will definitely ask for help from outside. If I remember correctly—the Qin State, did the Ba people have a marriage?"

"Yes, it should be...in the period of King Rang, Princess Qin married King Ba, and Princess Qin married King Shu, and Qin and Shu were allied." Murong Yan thought of something, and chuckled softly, "Xiangguo means to let Qin The army entered Shu?"

"Why don't you come in?"

"The land of Shu is dangerous, and the fertile soil in the pass is thousands of miles away. For Qin, it is indeed a big temptation. Qin and Shu had in-laws. They sent troops to quell the chaos, which can block the mouths of other countries, but between Qin and Shu... there is a Lu Kingdom. Although the country is small, it is allied with the Kingdom of Wei." Murong Yan's voice gradually cooled down, "And the Kingdom of Wei is a feud with Qin, and his father and brother died in battle. Have to bow to Wei Guo, let him persuade Lu Guo, and use Qin as an excuse?"
