When Wei Lian wrote this letter half a year ago, it was a way out for himself.
At that time, he and Ji Yue had not been candid with each other, and the antidote had not yet been resolved, and both had the last line of defense in their hearts. He sent this letter. In the future, if Ji Yue was against him, he would go back to Chu after his 20th birthday without fear of death. He kicked the king of Chu himself to become king, and specifically opposed Ji Yue and called him. Know that you are not easy to mess with.
He has always had the ability to be king.
If he and Ji Yue have been fine, they will not come back. At that time, Wei Lian thought that if he never came back in the future and stayed in Qin and gave up the throne, he would probably love Ji more deeply.
It's just that Wei Lian went back to Chu country without thinking about it, but instead of having a conflict with Ji Yue, he was willing to accompany him in his military career.
Wei Lian loved him more than he thought at the time.
In the secret room, when General Zhao saw Wei Lian, he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Old minister sees the son."
Wei Lian stepped forward and helped him up: "General, please get up."
"The old ministers and the soldiers have been waiting for the son for a long time!" General Zhao said excitedly, "As long as the son returns to Chu, he can lead his troops directly into the palace and support the son to the throne!"
General Zhao was once the protector of the state of Chu. He devoted himself to Chu all his life, was loyal, and had a high reputation in the army. He also had a team of elite soldiers who had been trained by himself to be invincible. He was called the God of War in Chu. However, Lin Lao was feared by the King of Chu, and he was executed for trumped-up charges.
The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. He was loyal to the monarch and the country all his life, and he never rebelled after receiving the decree, but his heart was ashes.
Seventeen-year-old Wei Lianye broke into the sky prison, stunned the guards, rescued the direct bloodline of the Zhao family, and replaced a few wicked people who had made a fool of themselves and disguised themselves, but escaped justice.
As for those collateral bloodlines, there were too many people and too many targets, and Wei Lian was unable to save them.
Since then, Old General Zhao has completely lost his heart to the King of Chu, who is loyal to him, and instead regards Young Master Lian as the new master, and wants to support him on the throne.
General Zhao has promoted many generals in the DPRK, and the three armies even obeyed him. The king of Chu had already lost his heart when he destroyed the Zhao family, so he just waited for him to come forward, raise his arms, and set up a new master.
At that time, Wei Lian still remembered the prophecy that "weak champions should not be sharp-edged" and declined the proposal. Including going to Qin as a hostage later, he did not use the trump card of General Zhao.
Now it finally comes in handy.
General Zhao has been silent all these years, but the contacts of the past are still there. The elite soldiers he personally trained were scattered all over the place and could not be reused, like a plate of loose sand. After receiving the secret letter from Wei Lian half a year ago, he secretly contacted the old department, gathered his troops, and waited for the son's return.
Now that the army of the state of Chu has come out in full force to fight against the state of Qin, Liangcheng is the easiest time to capture. As soon as the horn of war sounded, the Zhao family's army was already ready and ready to enter the palace at any time. They have been planning for today for many years, and with the help of the Taiwei Qiao Hongfei, it is easy to overthrow a decaying dynasty.
"The three kingdoms of Yan, Lu, and Chu attacked Qin. It seems that there are many people and powerful people, but in fact, the people's hearts are not divided. Chu has no generals, how can they fight against the king of Qin? This battle is handed over to Wei Bang, and there is no doubt that he will lose." General Zhao He has no respect for the King of Chu, and he calls him by his name without hesitation, "If the son is in power, he will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. The old man's sword is not old, and he can still fight for the son."
Wei Lian nodded and said, "General Lao is here."
Later, in the short two months, a lot of things happened, and each of them can be added to the history books.
On the 17th day of September, the young master brought back to Liang and brought back the Qin army layout. The King of Chu was overjoyed, abolished Prince Jiao, and replaced Prince Lian as Prince.
On the fifth day of the tenth lunar month, Chu was defeated by Qin, and 100,000 Chu troops were trapped in Yanguanling.
On the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, when the king of Chu learned that the front was defeated, he was furious, and told the prince Lianxing to ask his guilt.
On October 11th, 30,000 elite soldiers surrounded the palace overnight, and the "dead for many years" general who protected the country reappeared in front of people, leading his troops into the palace, crusades the king of Chu, who was incompetent and lost his heart. The President of the Imperial Forest Army received General Huguo and put down his weapon on the spot, saying, "The Lord is no longer worthy of the last commander's swearing to protect him, and I would like to assist His Royal Highness the Prince in the future."
On the fifteenth day of the tenth month, Prince Lian ascended the throne, known as the King of Chu Xi in history. He reprimanded the previous king for thirty-three counts, accusing him of being disloyal, unfilial, inhumane and injustice, ashamed of his ancestors, and of the people, and imprisoned in the Kangtai Hall. In order to protect the country and other loyal ministers to restore their names, Wei Xiang, the wife of the Taiwei, was named Princess Langhua. More than a dozen policies to benefit the country and the people, such as the suspension of the Jinliantai project and tax reduction and exemption, have immediately become popular and popular.
Inside the Hua Juan Hall, Wei Lian took a pigeon from the window, took a small bamboo tube from his paws, and unfolded the creed inside.
He looked down at the news from Changsheng from the Qin state. After the surrender of the Chu army, the morale of the two kingdoms of Yan and Lu was greatly reduced.
The death of the three generals should be the result of what Wei Lian handed over to Xiao Wen and the others.
Wei Lian clearly understands this principle before the thief is captured.
Ji Yue is chasing after the victory, preparing to take Yan and Lu in one fell swoop.
After reading it, Wei Lian put the note on the candle and burned it.
The Chu country was almost settled, and it was time for him to go back to Ji Yue.
It is now the end of October, and November is Ji Yue's birthday. Wei Lian only met him in December last year, and he just missed a year. He didn't want to miss Ji Yue's birthday this year.
He had to rush back before Ji Yue's birthday. Wei Lian pondered.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and the woman said loudly, "I want to see Lian'er!"
The palace staff did not dare to stop her, after all, this was the new king's concubine.
This fear caused Concubine Yan to break in. The woman entered the door aggressively, and when she saw the handsome and unpretentious King Ziyi, she was slightly taken aback, her arrogance subsided for the most part, and she felt a little cramped.
The state of Chu loves the romance in white clothes, but respects purple. A purple robe made the young man look extravagant, his face was handsome, and he was more majestic than when he was a son.
Little did he know that when Wei Lian put on the purple robe that symbolized the king, he only had one thought: Ji Yue hated purple.
But Ji Yue wouldn't hate him anyway.
Wei Lian asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Yan?"
Yan Fei said slowly: "Lian'er..."
When Wei Lian became the crown prince, she still had some resentment, thinking that he stole Yan'er. But she didn't expect Wei Lian to be so powerful, to be the king of Chu directly...
It stands to reason that Wei Lian became the king of Chu, and her mother-in-law should also be the queen mother. But after waiting for so long, even Wei Xiang was canonized as Princess Langhua. She was only a concubine, and Yan'er was not named Prince, so she couldn't hold back.
Don't you just want to quickly repair the mother-son relationship
Wei Lian lowered his head and said casually, "Taifei Yan speaks carefully."
"I have nothing to do with you alone."
Concubine Yan's face froze, but Wei Lian still remembered this.
She forced a smile and said, "How can there be any overnight feud between mother and son..."
"The lonely mother is in the Yin Division." Wei Lian raised his eyes, "Does the concubine want to go too?"
Concubine Yan's face changed slightly, and she planned to directly use her seniority to press people: "Is your majesty planning to recognize my mother?"
"It's the concubine who needs to clear the relationship with Gu first." Wei Lian chuckled, his tone as gentle as ever, "Mrs. Li was put into the cold palace, and Wei Jiao was deposed as a commoner. The concubine and Jiuwangdi can still be in the palace. Worry about food and clothing is the ultimate righteousness, and don't have to make further progress."
Wei Jiao scolded him as a savage without a mother when he was young. After he fought back, he was punished by Mrs. Li to kneel in the snow all night, and he never forgot.
Compared with the fate of the mother and son, Concubine Yan and Wei Yan were the result of Wei Lian's mercy.
He does not retaliate against them, but neither does he shelter them.
Strangers from now on.
Concubine Yan's face turned blue for a while, and she finally understood that the young king in front of him had hard wings, and he was no longer the child who had to rely on her before.
It would be boring to stay here any longer. Concubine Yan sighed and threw her sleeves away angrily.
Wei Lian didn't take this episode to heart, and he continued to think about what birthday gift to give Ji Yue.
"Your Majesty is thinking about how to fight against Qin?"
Wei Lian paused, raised his head and saw Old General Zhao striding forward, clasping his fists in a salute: "I see your Majesty."
"Generals don't need to be polite." Wei Lian respected the old general very much.
Old General Zhao stood up and said, "Seeing His Majesty's solemn expression, the old minister should be worried about King Qin's affairs?"
Wei Lian: "..."
I was really worried about him, but not thinking about how to kill him.
But how could he tell Old General Zhao that he really didn't want to eradicate the King of Qin
Old General Zhao never asked Wei Lian how the King of Qin treated him when he was in the Qin state. What's the question? It is obvious that it is inseparable! Since ancient times, no proton and the monarch of the enemy country can live together happily and harmoniously. Once the proton returns to the country and turns over, either you die or I die.
Therefore, General Zhao still thinks that the next step should be to seek revenge for the King of Qin after the son has won the throne.
Seeing Wei Lian's embarrassed appearance, General Zhao only considered His Majesty to be worried that he was not an opponent of the King of Qin, and vowed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although the strong Qin is difficult to resist, he has been fighting for many years, and has attacked Chen and Liang successively, and now he is fighting against the Three Kingdoms at the same time. The troops were scattered and the vitality was severely damaged. It was the end of the force. It was just that the Chu State had unscrupulous generals, the king lost his heart, the soldiers refused to fight for him, and the people did not want to wave the flag. All the elite soldiers and generals will help you with all your heart, and your strategy is not inferior to the King of Qin, and you may not be without the strength of a battle..."
General Zhao's analysis is straightforward, which is indeed very reasonable.
But the problem is not here.
"General." Wei Lian said frankly, "Gu never wanted to be the enemy of King Qin."
General Zhao was stunned and tried to convince him: "King Qin is nothing to be afraid of, why should Your Majesty be worried?"
"Gu is not afraid of him." Wei lowered his eyes, "Gu loves him."
General Zhao: "..."
Old General Zhao, who has lived for a long time, rarely feels a little confused.
"Wei Lian was able to ascend to the throne, and the general has helped me a lot." Up to now, Wei Lian didn't want to deceive any more, "The reunification of the world is the general trend, Qin and Chu will inevitably die, but it is impossible for me to fight against him. See you."
"I came back this time to share his worries."
Old General Zhao couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty is going to... betray the state of Chu?"
For the old general who had been loyal to the state of Chu all his life, this was really a difficult thing for him to accept.
He can turn against the lord, but what he always has in his heart is the state of Chu, the general of Chu who really did his best and died.
He originally thought that Young Master Lian was the hope of the Chu State, but Young Master Liancai... has a relationship with the monarch of the enemy country
"The King of Qin is a wise ruler. If the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and be free from the harassment of war, why should I not be the king?"
"Wei Lian lied first, and the general will be bowed to by me." Wei Lian knelt down neatly on one knee.
When a king kneels, it is worth more than ten thousand pieces of gold.
The old general Zhao also knelt down and said in fear: "How can the old minister afford it! You are the king, Yu Yi, and you are the savior, how can this be made? Your majesty, hurry up!"
Wei Lian lowered his eyes and said, "I caused the general to betray his beliefs all his life, and the general should receive this worship."
The young man folded his left hand on the back of his right, his eyes were clear and unquestionable, he bowed his head and bowed deeply.
Old General Zhao watched the king bow his head, his eyes trembled, and finally closed his eyes helplessly.
He remembered that Young Master Lian rescued him from prison in the past. The young man's tone was sloppy and his face was frivolous: "I have never lost my ability to King Qin, and Chu State can't beat Qin State. The general is credible, and I will be his only opponent."
Later, His Majesty said that he would not be his enemy in this lifetime.
Why didn't the son... abandon his whole life belief for the King of Qin.
