Cai and Daxia were now like a pair of brothers; after dealing with the prime minister, they dealt with the relevant people, from generals to the prime minister's housekeepers, and so on.
However, the situations are very different. The Emperor of Daxia dealt with the Prime Minister because it was a political struggle. The Emperor wanted to re-establish the Crown Prince and re-establish his authority at this critical moment. Using the Prime Minister was the best way to do this. The case of Cai was purely a struggle between powerful officials.
Also, although the prime minister of Daxia was imprisoned, his life was not in danger, nor were his family members, they were just looked down upon. However, the prime minister of Cai was different, as his entire family was in danger of death.
But on the other hand, the Great Xia Kingdom was already in a precarious situation; it was no longer on the verge of collapse, but had already begun to collapse. There was also a dispute over the crown prince in the country.
However, the State of Cai was in its heyday.
In addition, facing the fat piece of meat that is the Great Xia Kingdom, several surrounding countries are gearing up to take a bite.
For a time, with Daxia as the center, the surrounding area within tens of thousands of miles was in turmoil.
The various local separatist regimes within Daxia have also begun to gear up for action, and everyone understands that the time to "serve the king" is approaching.
Baofeng County in the northwest of Daxia State is the actual control area of the eldest prince. It is a very vast county, about 800 miles in radius. Compared with Anyang, which is only about 50 miles in radius, it is much stronger. A county of 800 miles already has the foundation for the establishment of a country.
Outside the eldest prince's residence, the eldest prince and the officials around him were seeing Li Wei off.
The imperial edict had been delivered, and Li Wei would supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum after returning. At the same time, there was also an imperial edict announcing the removal of the eldest prince from the title of crown prince and the appointment of the second prince as crown prince.
The eldest prince took Li Wei's hand and said with some emotion, "General Li, have a safe journey."
Li Wei sighed, "Take care, Your Highness. I'll come back to see you when I have time."
Li Wei was about to turn around, but the eldest prince still held Li Wei's hand tightly, "General Li, we have known each other for several years. Before I leave, Xia Xu has a small request. This..."
Li Wei sighed inwardly, "Your Highness, please feel free to speak."
"I want 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 kilograms of sea soul silk to build a large army to counterattack the State of Cai. General Li, can you help pass on a message?"
Li Wei's heart trembled. The eldest prince's thoughts were clearly revealed; what about counterattacking the State of Cai? It was probably because he wanted to gain power by himself.
But he couldn't refuse this, so Li Wei thought about it and finally said honestly: "Your Highness, I will definitely convey your message. But I'm not sure about the specific situation. I have always been responsible for business matters."
The eldest prince immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just convey the message. In addition, I have prepared some gifts here, please help General Li to bring them to my sister Xia Qingqing."
Li Wei immediately changed the subject. It turned out that the eldest prince had gone around in circles when talking, and delivering the message to Li Xian was just a side job. The eldest prince's real intention was indeed to accomplish his goal through Xia Qingqing!
But words once spoken cannot be taken back, so Li Wei could only accept the gift and leave with his hundred or so personal soldiers.
