The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

If during the Taiping years, the Crown Prince of Wei succeeded to the throne, there would be no problem at all. The key is that Qin is now powerful, and Wei may be in danger of subjugation. Even though the Crown Prince of Wei has the appearance of a wise king, he is far inferior to his uncle Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling.

If the crown prince of Wei succeeds to the throne, the possibility of Wei's destruction in the future is very high.

Let Lord Xinling succeed to the throne and preserve the Wei state. In the minds of other countries, that is more than enough.

Therefore, Bai Gui's advice is very practical.

If King Wei of Wei does not allow Lord Xinling to succeed to the throne, Wei may be destroyed and the ancestral temple may not exist in the future. Rather than doing this, it would be better to pass the throne to Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, at a critical moment...

"Is Ambassador Zhao a lobbyist for Zhao State or Lord Xinling?"

Wei Wangyu narrowed his eyes and his voice became colder, "Wei's family affairs do not allow Zhao to interfere."

He thought that Lord Xinling had won over Zhao Guo, or that Zhao Guo had unexpectedly supported Lord Xinling in succeeding to the throne. Having a strong neighbor is not a good thing, but if there is Qin as its number one rival, Zhao will still be happy to see Wei's internal governance become strong.

In addition, according to what he heard, before Bai Gui, the envoy from Zhao, entered the Wei Kingdom, he did not first visit him, the King of Wei, but instead visited Lord Xinling. And Han Fei, the Korean envoy, is the same. The great Wei State, his Wei State has become a decoration.

"I am a lobbyist for the people of the world!"

"Now that the survival of the people of the world is at stake, Qin wants to destroy the world, so he has established himself as a lobbyist for the people of the world. I sincerely hope that the king will put aside his own selfishness and appoint Lord Xinling as king. In the past, Duke Zhou's father had three sons, and he wanted to pass on the throne to the people of the world. Ji Li, his son Ji Chang, Tai Bo and Zhong Yong avoided the situation and moved to Jiangdong to establish the Kingdom of Wu."

"This is a good practice in ancient times. Why does your Majesty ignore Wei State and cause the world to perish?"

Bai Gui had already prepared his doubts about Wei Wangyu and talked about it eloquently.

Zhou Gong Dan's father was the grandfather of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang. His three sons were Taibo, Zhongyong, and Ji Li. Among them, Jichang's father Ji Li was the third child, but he had a reputation for being a virtuous person long ago. Ji Chang was also known by his contemporaries. It was promising, so Duke Zhou and his father wanted to pass the throne to Ji Li. Tai Bo and Zhong Yong, out of consideration for the future of the Zhou Kingdom, moved to Jiangdong, took the initiative to avoid their thrones and gave way to talents, and established the Wu Kingdom.

Although the rites of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have collapsed, the eldest son inheritance system has always been retained. Bai Gui told this allusion to lay the theoretical foundation for Lord Xinling's succession.

Under normal circumstances, no country can find fault with the primogeniture system. But it doesn't work now. Lord Xinling is now too virtuous. Among the four princes, Lord Xinling is the most prestigious. Qin is afraid of Lord Xinling but not Wei. So... how could King Wei of Wei not pass the throne to Lord Xinling?

"Please also ask Ambassador Zhao not to say anything further."

"The crown prince has been established, and it is difficult for our country, Wei, to change him easily."

If the Bai Gui in front of him was his minister, King Wei of Wei would have had him pulled down and quartered. But the envoy of Zhao State was different. Once he killed the envoy of Zhao State, he would have planned to start a war with Zhao State. He is old and just wants to live out his old age in peace and stability.

"In that case..."

Bai Gui groaned and walked a few steps back and forth in the palace, with a ruthless look on his face, "In this case, I would also like to ask the king to order the death of Lord Xinling. This way, it will not cause chaos in Wei and give Qin an opportunity." .”

Kill Lord Xinling Wei Wuji?

Kill Lord Xinling?

Wei Wangyu was immediately startled. Why does this envoy Zhao say anything to others? Zhao Wangdan also sent a young boy to Wei as an envoy. Could Lord Xinling be killed easily? Regardless of Lord Xinling's prestige, if he killed him, he would definitely be reviled by the world in the future. Secondly, Lord Xinling had many followers. After he killed Lord Xinling, there were countless followers who received Lord Xinling's great favor. He would encounter countless assassinations in the future...

He also wanted to kill the king's younger brother, but he couldn't help it.

Similarly, he also became curious about Bai Gui, the Zhao envoy. I just suggested to him that he should appoint Lord Xinling as king and follow the path of brother-in-law. But why... suddenly changed his mind and asked him to kill Xinling Lord Wei Wuji?

However, it was not easy for Wei Wangyu to ask this question. He carefully considered his words, coughed slightly and said, "Brother Wang and I are brothers. How can we accept your instigation of brotherhood?"

"Mr. Xinling is not Uncle Duan, and the king is not Duke Zheng Zhuang."

Bai Gui cupped his hand and said, "If it is full, it will overflow; if it is full, it will be a loss. Your Majesty, you love your brothers, I understand. However, now that your Majesty is still here, you can still control Lord Xinling. Forgive me, Prince Wei succeeds to the throne, Lord Xinling is His uncle, the king, has prestige, and when the time comes, Prince Wei will be just a piece of fish on Lord Xinling’s chopping board, to be slaughtered by him..."

The words fell.

Wei Wangyu fell into deep thought.

Bai Gui's words were something he felt the same way when he was approaching his twilight years. It's just that he has difficulty attacking Lord Xinling, so he just wants to get by day by day. But Bai Gui's reminder, combined with the previous assassination of Lord Xinling... made him frown immediately.

Is the assassin from Qin? No, it might be Lord Xinling’s trick.

Taking this incident as a trigger, and then secretly framed him as the king's brother, and then waited for him to die, no, even before he died, he might usurp the throne. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

"Envoy Zhao, please step back. I need to rest."

Wei Wangyu waved his hand and told Bai Gui to step back.

How could he tell foreign ministers about such important military and state affairs? He has not yet made a decision in his heart whether to kill Lord Xinling or not, but it is inevitable that Bai Gui's words also fell into his heart and became a thorn in his heart.

We have already spoken to this extent, and it is useless to say more.

Bai Gui also slowly exited the palace.

After leaving the Wei Palace, he whispered to Shanrou: "Hurry! Hurry up and hurry up to Lord Xinling's residence!"

Most of what he did was secret, so the coachman was replaced by Shan Rou who was under his control. Secondly, Shanrou is much better-looking than the rude coachman and is quite eye-catching.

Shaoqing, the residence of Lord Xinling.

Bai Gui was the envoy of Zhao and was acquainted with Lord Xinling. After being informed by his retainers, he quickly met Lord Xinling Wei Wuji. He stepped forward and apologized: "I hope Lord Xinling will kill me. I am guilty of Xinling." Jun."

After two sentences, Lord Xinling looked horrified.

He thought Bai Gui was anxious to see him because he had other important matters, but he never expected that... the two sentences Bai Gui spoke were so shocking.

"Why did Young Master Li say this?"

Lord Xinling frowned.

Even if Bai Gui seeks his death, he would not dare to kill him randomly. First, Bai Gui is an envoy of the State of Zhao. The disaster of disturbing the envoys of the State of Zhao is self-evident. Of the two, "Zhao Li" is the son of Julu Hou. If he kills "Zhao Li", he will be equivalent to enmity with Zhao Mu from now on. Although he is not afraid of Zhao Mu, it is still uneconomical to enmity for this matter. Thirdly, Bai Gui and him also had a personal relationship recently...

"Today..." Bai Gui rolled up his sleeves and sighed, "Today the King of Wei summoned me to the palace. I saw that the King of Wei was old and thought that our situation in the three Jin Dynasties was precarious, so I persuaded the King of Wei to appoint you as the crown prince, following the example of the ancient king. However. …”

"What do you say? What do you say, Brother Wang?"

Lord Xinling's eyes showed a trace of eagerness.

He is also keen on the position of King of Wei, but he cannot "usurp the throne" too hastily. After all, King Wei of Wei is his elder brother and has supported him. Once he usurps the throne, he will be repaying kindness with hatred, and there will be a lot of controversy in the future. Furthermore, he was not sure of seizing the throne from King Wei of Wei.

Bai Gui's advice to King Wei was exactly what he wanted.

"The King of Wei has said that he still has a prince, so why do you need me to inherit the throne..." Bai Gui secretly took a look at Lord Xinling's expression, and saw that he was anxious, so he felt confident, "I tried to persuade him a few more times, saying that I should keep the throne." There is a selfish relationship between the country and the country, but Wei Wangbing is not moved..."

Hearing this, Xinling Lord Wei Wuji felt quite unhappy. It seemed that his brother Wang did not intend to pass the throne to him. He forced a smile and said: "Young Master Li is advising me, how could Wuji blame you, Young Master Li..." "

He thought that after Bai Gui made a speech to King Wei, he was afraid that King Wei would be dissatisfied with him because of this matter, so Bai Gui blamed himself and came to Lord Xinling's mansion to seek death.

This is not surprising.

This is exactly what happened in the pre-Qin period.

"No!" Bai Gui shook his head, "If it were just this matter, Li should ask for a reward from the young master instead of seeking death. The reason why Li seeks death is because..."

Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I urge the King of Wei to kill you, young master!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The retainers and retainers in Lord Xinling's study all drew out their long swords and pointed them at Bai Gui, looking tense. The king humiliates the minister and dies.

Xinling Lord Wei Wuji took a deep look at Bai Gui and said, "Why did Mr. Li say this?"

He knew that Bai Gui's so-called seeking death was probably just a show at this moment. If he really kills the Zhao envoy, wouldn't it just give his brother Wang an excuse to kill him?

The envoy cannot move lightly.

Bai Gui's confidence also comes from this. At worst, when things cannot be done, he can just show his cultivation and go to another world. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to become a golden immortal.

"If the King of Wei cannot pass the throne to you, the young master, the Kingdom of Wei will surely be in chaos over time!"

"The efforts of our countries to resist Qin will definitely be destroyed in one day!"

Bai Gui sighed.

"And the reason why I came to the Young Master's residence to seek death is, firstly, to preserve my friendship with the Young Master, and secondly, to inform the Young Master about this matter. I hope that the Young Master can make preparations in advance."

What he said is a simple summary. For the sake of state affairs, he asked King Wei to kill Lord Xinling. But for the sake of his friends, he came to tell Lord Xinling about this and asked Lord Xinling to escape as soon as possible.

Lord Xinling's face was covered with a layer of gloom.

kill? How does he kill? Bai Gui is now a hedgehog. Killing Bai Gui will not help, but will destroy the character he has been managing.

"Young Master Li..." Lord Xinling smiled, "What Mr. Li said was out of public concern, which makes Wuji admire him. Wuji is also very grateful to be able to come and tell Wuji what happened today..."

"color!"

"color!"

"color!"

All the retainers and retainers clapped their hands and praised.

One who serves the country and the people, and one who is tolerant and understanding are both admirable stories. Especially those who were attracted and recruited by Lord Xinling were even more moved when they heard this.

"A bunch of rabble..."

Bai Gui shook his head secretly.

In the temple, there is no conspiracy. Lord Xinling may seem powerful, but he is not invulnerable. For example, this time, even if he was not the envoy of Zhao, Lord Xinling did not dare to kill him because of his reputation, because once he killed him, it would be the beginning of the collapse of his own power.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to successfully test the ranger's uprising.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xinling, for your righteousness, but I am just standing firm... I feel uneasy..."

Bai Gui said hypocritically.

"It's just a small matter." Lord Xinling helped Bai Gui, who was bowing down, "It's Wuji's blessing that the young master has such faith. Brother Wang and I have compatriots, so he won't kill me." .”

"If Brother Wang really wants to kill me, let Brother Wang take Wuji's head."

He looked like he was giving a generous sacrifice.

"Young Master!" A retainer came forward and said: "Young Master is so unwise. Have you forgotten that the Young Master was assassinated yesterday? Now that the King of Qin is seriously ill, there is no way he could be sent to assassinate the Young Master at this moment. In my opinion, this assassin is probably... Sent by the king, the reason why the king summoned the young master to the palace should also be to inquire about Zhao Guo’s treatment of the young master..."

After stealing the talisman to save Zhao, Lord Xinling did not dare to return to Wei and stayed in Zhao for several years.

Moreover, Lord Xinling was very benevolent to the State of Zhao...

"this……"

Wei Wuji was speechless and didn't know what to say.

The facts should be as what this retainer said. The King of Wei summoned Bai Gui, the Zhao envoy, into the palace to discuss his treatment, otherwise the King of Wei and Bai Gui would not have discussed whether to kill him. Assassin, King Wei may send him.

When Bai Gui saw it, he knew it was appropriate.

His words only had a 30% chance of causing civil strife in Wei. But with the bonus of the assassin's assassination of Wei Wuji, it was enough to escalate the internal strife between King Wei and Lord Xinling to another level, and the possibility of civil strife in Wei soared to 80% to 90%.

In addition, his... letter to Lord Ling's residence must have reached the ears of King Wei now.

…

Wei Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good..."

A eunuch rushed into the palace to report.

"What's wrong?" Wei Wangyu was a little confused.

Soon, the eunuch submitted a secret report about Lord Xinling's residence. How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Even if Lord Xinling Wei Wuji is his younger brother, it won't work. Therefore, he sent a traitor to Lord Xinling Wei Wuji early in order to spy on the intelligence of Lord Xinling's residence.

When he took a look at the secret report, his expression immediately became uncertain.

"How dare this Zi An bully me!"

"He has a relationship with Lord Xinling, so these words...are meant to test Yu?"

King Wei of Wei was furious.

He remembered everything that happened in the palace, as well as Bai Gui's words. This sentence spoke to his heart. Thinking back on it now, my face is burning with pain. In his opinion, Bai Gui should be the person sent by Lord Xinling to test him.

"Testing..."

Wei Wangyu suddenly thought that he was old. Since Lord Xinling tested him like this, he must have had a rebellious intention for a long time. If you see that something cannot be done, just...

"By the way, assassination, Qin people?"

"In my opinion, this is what he did to harm me!"

He slammed the table and shouted angrily.

The throne..., Lord Xinling can't wait any longer. And he is old, but he is not dead.
