After a long journey, Wei Yan led the army and finally arrived at the frontier.Wei Yan first ordered the army to set up camp, and then completed the handover with the generals stationed on the frontier.

At this time, the personal guards had already arranged the tent specially set up for the emperor.This time Wei Yan did not bring Fulin and the maid, but a few personal guards.The maid is too delicate, it will inevitably affect the march, but Fulin ordered him to monitor Wei Zheng.

The size of the emperor's camp was nearly twice as large as the normal one, and it was divided into two areas. The front was a meeting room for discussions with the soldiers, and a sand table was placed to mark the terrain of the battlefield and its surroundings.

And behind the camp is the daily living area. Although the facilities are simple, they are considered the best in the military camp, and Wei Yan will not be picky about such trivial matters.

Sitting on the main seat of the meeting hall, Wei Yan ordered the generals to come to discuss the war.

When all the generals arrived, they gathered around the sand table, analyzed the terrain, discussed the enemy's military tactics, revised the battle plan, and formulated logistical supplies.

Wei Yan spoke clearly and every sentence hit the point. The generals admired his unique insights and thought that Wei Yan, the emperor, was much more reliable than Wei Xi.

-

He has been in the frontier for almost a month, during which Wei Yan led the army to fight against the enemy several times, turned the tide of the battle, and never failed.

A few days ago they just won a big victory, forcing the enemy to retreat steadily.Now that the enemy is showing weakness, it is not difficult to win the final victory under the pursuit of victory.

Wei Yan walked into the tent, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water, picked up the teapot to drink, but suddenly thought of something, put down the teacup, and told the guard standing at the exit: "Go, call General Zhao."

Zhao Jixuan really couldn't hold his breath.

How Zhao Jixuan killed the sixth prince in the original plot did not describe in detail, but only mentioned it briefly.Wei Yan thought that the plan to be able to kill the emperor and get out of the way must be seamless.

However, he did not expect Zhao Jixuan's methods to be so crude and inferior, poisoning the tea...

But it was unexpectedly effective, if the sixth prince hadn't changed the core.

When Zhao Jixuan received the summons, his heart skipped a beat, but he calmly asked the guard who sent the message: "What's the matter with your Majesty sending me?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, the general is gone."

"lead the way."

Following behind the guards, Zhao Jixuan couldn't help frowning, he had a bad premonition.Just today, the emperor summoned him, so he must have been exposed...

However, he did it secretly and thoughtfully, so logically he couldn't find any clues.Zhao Jixuan stabilized his emotions, opened the curtain of the tent and walked in.

"See Your Majesty." Zhao Jixuan clasped his fists and bent over, showing meticulous etiquette.

"Excuse me." Wei Yan raised his chin and said, "Sit."

According to Wei Yan's will, Zhao Jixuan sat down respectfully beside him, not daring to cast a glance, but staring at his knees.

"General, do you know why I am looking for you?" Wei Yan picked up a teacup and slowly poured a cup of tea into it with an elegant gesture.

"I don't know."

Wei Yan chuckled and put the tea on Zhao Jixuan's side.There was a crisp sound when the porcelain knocked on the wooden table.

"Use it slowly, the general."

Zhao Jixuan caught a glimpse of the teacup Wei Yan handed over from the corner of his eye. He was terrified, but he didn't dare to look up at Wei Yan.Clenching his robe tightly with his fingers, Zhao Jixuan didn't dare to deceive himself anymore, the emperor really knew it!

How will he be dealt with, beheaded or quartered?No, probably the Nine Clans will be implicated, this is a serious crime of treason!

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family would be defeated by him. He is the one whose family puts high hopes on him. It is all his fault that he was obsessed with ghosts...

"Why, isn't General Zhao drinking?" Wei Yan watched Zhao Jixuan's constantly changing expression in a leisurely manner.

Zhao Jixuan was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and finally took a deep breath, reached out to pick up the cup and was about to pour it into his mouth.

"Why did General Zhao do this?"

Zhao Jixuan paused, and said hoarsely: "Since Your Majesty can find out about this, how could he not know the reason."

Wei Yan sneered: "The general knew earlier, why bother?"

Zhao Jixuan's face became even more ugly, Wei Yan continued indifferently: "If the general wants to keep the Zhao family, it's not impossible."

Zhao Jixuan was taken aback for a moment, and after knowing what Wei Yan meant, he immediately put down his cup and knelt down in front of Wei Yan: "I will obey your Majesty's orders, and I will never refuse to die."

"very good."

Zhao Jixuan knew that he would die in the end, and what His Majesty said was "keep the Zhao family", not bypassing him.But for the Zhao family, he was willing to gamble everything. He was the sinner who almost pushed the Zhao family into the flames, so let's regard him as atonement for himself.

After telling Zhao Jixuan about the plan, Wei Yan let him go down.

Zhao Jixuan is talented, but not irreplaceable.He killed the original owner, Wei Yan did not bypass him, and he also avenged the original owner.

Zhao Jixuan poisoned the tea, the poison would not cause death immediately, it would take a while for the poison to erupt.The original owner was poisoned and died on the way back after victorious in the war.

It stands to reason that the emperor who died of poisoning would be thoroughly investigated. However, just a few days ago, the emperor was wounded by a poisoned arrow on the battlefield. Since no other clues could be found, it was finally determined that the imperial physician was ineffective and executed the innocent imperial physician.

But Zhao Jixuan couldn't be found, besides his secrecy, the most important thing was that he bribed one of the emperor's personal guards, and then killed this personal guard without a trace on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the bribery of the guards, the emperor's entrance would be strictly checked, and the poisoned tea would be discovered before it was delivered, so the emperor would be poisoned.

-

Under the heroic fighting of the generals, the war ended soon, but unfortunately, Wei Yan was seriously injured in the battle and died soon.Although the accompanying imperial physician tried his best to treat him, the emperor still couldn't bear it and went.

When the news traveled back to Beijing, it caused a huge shock among civil and military officials. In order not to cause turmoil, the ministers decided to keep it secret.

Wei Zheng was overjoyed when he received the news of the emperor's death from his cronies.He has been planning for so long, just for this day!

Wei Zheng slapped the table excitedly, stood up and walked around complacently.It's his turn to be the emperor!

In Prince Chen's mansion, many ministers gathered here, and they came to discuss the matter of the throne.A country cannot be without a king for a day. This matter is related to the country and the country, and it has to be taken seriously.

"Lord Chen, do you think anyone is suitable to take over the throne?"

Of course Wei Zheng thought that he was the best candidate for the emperor, but he couldn't say it so arrogantly, and these ministers who came to ask for his opinion must also be optimistic about him...

"My lords, someone has chosen?" Wei Zheng looked at his support.

Unexpectedly, which minister avoided his sight, and hid among the many ministers with his tail clamped.

What a coward!No wonder it can only climb up to this position.

Wei Zheng thought about it, and then looked at other subordinates, but their reactions were exactly the same as the first minister.Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.

The left minister came out and said: "The minister thinks that the eldest prince Zhilan Yushu has elegant moral character and is a very good candidate."

All the ministers present nodded in agreement.Zuo Xiang frowned slightly: "If the Supreme Emperor is temporarily in charge of the overall situation, we can discuss it later."

The ministers didn't want Wei Xi to be the emperor again. Wei Xi always did stupid things when he was in power, and let them, ministers, wipe their butts behind.Although such an emperor is easy to fool, the courtiers who have read poetry still hope that the new emperor will be more talented.

Wei Zheng's face froze, and he quickly adjusted his mood, and said with a smile: "This is a matter of national importance, and I think it should be carefully considered, my lords..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived—"

The ministers in the room looked at each other and got up to greet them outside.I saw the emperor's servant, Eunuch Fulin, standing in the front yard, holding an imperial decree in his hand: "King Chen accepts the decree."

After everyone knelt down, Fulin opened the imperial decree that Wei Yan had prepared before going out for the expedition, and read aloud what was written on it.

After Fulin read the imperial decree and handed it to Wei Zheng, he left, leaving only a group of ministers staring at each other, and Wei Zheng on the spot.

How is this possible... How is it possible for Wei Yan to leave the throne to him!

Wei Zheng walked into the room in a trance, hearing the voices of the ministers talking, he waved them away.

After driving away everyone in the room, Wei Zheng sat alone on the chair for a long time before recovering from his daze.He chuckled lightly, and said to the void: "System, look where Wei Yan is."

He didn't believe that Wei Yan would die so easily, how could he die?
