Sir, I can do it!
Chapter 222
Wei's name was rectified, and the bones of Wei Ru and Wei Xuan were brought back to Shengjing.This day was the winter solstice, Shengjing City ushered in the first heavy snow, and the bustling streets suddenly became quiet.
An imperial decree was passed down in the palace, posthumously conferring Wei Ru the Duke of Zhong and Wei Xuan the Great General of Jianwei.His son Wei Yuan inherited the title of Marquis of Zhen Guo, and hereditary did not replace him.
Two waiters in one family, extremely honorable.
Old Madam Wei looked at the two side-by-side coffins, and there were no tears in her eyes.She just said softly, "Finally home."
Wei Zhao knelt in front of the coffin, smiling with tears in his eyes: "Father, your son is famous outside the house again. Those sour scholars surrounded the house all day, and they almost praised your son to the sky, how majestic! And big brother, come on!" Some days someone gave a Luo Diao Bow as a gift, the bowstring buzzes when you pull it, it’s exciting to listen to. As for me, I reluctantly gave up and gave that bow to you. Don’t always say that I don’t know anything Partial brother."
Mrs. Wei also laughed: "That's all he likes."
The grandparents and grandchildren talked as usual, and only the dancing candlelight responded to them.
After a moment of silence, Wei Zhao suddenly said, "Grandmother, I want to put Pei'er under my name."
After a long time, Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Okay."
As if remembering something, she said: "The child of the Wang family is very good. When he divorced, he had a quarrel and was locked up by the Wang family. Later, the news of Changle's 'death' came back, and the child asked himself to be expelled from the family. I trust People have inquired, the child left the Wang family and went to the place where Changle fell off the cliff, and worked as a teacher in the nearby village, and asked everyone about Changle..."
Wei Zhao listened quietly, and said after a while, "Grandma, I know how to do it."
Old Madam Wei's eyes fell on the Mu Han Sword at his waist, and sighed quietly: "When Changsun Ke lived in our house, the hostility of Mu Han Sword had been smoothed away, but now, I see it again. gone."
Wei Zhao subconsciously tightened his palms.
The old lady still said to herself: "Time will settle everything, but I think he doesn't want you to become what he used to be."
----
After Wei Zhao took office, the system of prime ministers was abolished, and four ministers were appointed to assist the government. Qin Sheng was the head, Feng Yu, Wang Yi, and Cheng Shixun followed.
The Tongcha Office was abolished, and all powers and responsibilities were returned to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and Chen Jinghuai was restored as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
He also thoroughly investigated the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, and dismissed a group of officials who had corpses and vegetarian meals.Kai Enke, recruit good ministers.
The people praised Jin Yihou.
But the aristocratic families are eager to get rid of it and hurry up.Almost every night, people who are not afraid of death go to the Hou's mansion to assassinate.
It's a pity that Wei Zhao couldn't die, and those nobles were met with even crazier revenge.Especially headed by the Wang family.
The head of the Wang family's hair was almost graying, and he went to ask Wang Yi, but he was separated from the clan early on, and the clan law could not restrain him.
The head of the Wang family sighed: "I knew that the Wei family could turn around. At that time, even with this old bone, I had to deal with the emperor. This is good. When the Wang family retired the engagement, they were accused of being inhumane. He has to bear Jin Yihou's revenge. Then Wei Zhao can overthrow even the imperial power with just a flick of his finger! Messing with this living ancestor, I'm really worried to death."
"But the Wei family will not rebel." The staff leaned over and said, "Wei Zhao's rectification of the name of the Wei family will also be burdened by his reputation. Now that the literati family supports Wei Zhao, it is nothing more than being infected by the loyal soul of the Wei family. But if Wei What about your dynasties playing tricks on the country?"
Patriarch Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you say that?"
The staff member stroked his beard with a smile: "Although the crown prince Li Kui is not powerful enough, he is generous and virtuous, and is also highly respected by scholars among the people. One is a powerful minister, and the other is the orthodox of the Eastern Palace. No matter how loyal Wei is, But don't forget, this world is still the Li family's world after all."
At this time, the staff came up with an idea: "My lord, Wei Zhao has ruled out dissidents with cruel methods since he took office. Now the crown prince is young, the emperor is seriously ill, Jin Yihou has a heavy army in his hands, and controls the court. All the officials dare not speak out. If things go on like this , there must be disaster."
Patriarch Wang hissed, his eyes widened suddenly, and he kept patting his palms: "Okay, what a good way!"
In the middle of winter, the wind is bitter.
All the officials involved in the Cui family's rebellion case should be executed and exiled.Jingzhong fell silent for a while.
Towards the New Year, the city is bustling again.It's just that the families didn't feel the New Year's atmosphere, instead they were a little more depressed and restrained.Cui Feng's air-dried human skeleton is still hanging on the city wall, as if to warn these people that the matter is not completely over yet.
Wei Zhao sent the Buddhist scriptures copied by Mrs. Wei to the Huguo Temple and handed them over to the young monk Wuming.
Wuming smiled and said, "Of course the abbot has gone to retreat, I will enshrine this Buddhist scripture well."
Wei Zhao nodded lightly: "I'm sorry, Master Wuming. Oh, is Mr. Gao Hai in the temple?"
Wu Ming said: "There is no Gao Hai in this temple, only Wu Xiang who has just started. Will Wei Shi meet you?"
Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Since you are a foreigner, there is no need to see him or not. Who is in charge of the temple now?"
Wu Ming rubbed his frozen hands and said, "It's Master Liao Yin, he's in the front hall right now. It's cold today, and there are few people in the temple. May Master Wei go to offer incense sticks?"
"Of course it is."
Ignorance leads the way.
But Wei Zhao said: "You go and get busy, I often come to Huguo Temple, I know the way."
Wuming clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then, then, Benefactor Wei, go slowly."
Wei Zhao responded, and said again: "Go to the back hall to chant sutras, lest you go back to the meditation room and be ordered by your senior brothers again."
Wuming smiled innocently.After walking a long way, he suddenly turned to Wei Zhao and said, "Benefactor Wei, you are a person of great blessing. What you think in your heart will surely come true." After speaking, he ran away holding the Buddhist scriptures.
Wei Zhao turned around and looked at his thin back, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and after a while, the corridor was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.He walked slowly in the snow, listening to the soothing bells in the temple.
Seeing that he was offering incense, Liao Yin came forward with a smile and said, "Old Madam Wei and Empress Wei are both people who believe in Buddhism and are compassionate. It is clear that the abbot often discusses Buddhist principles with the old matriarch. It has benefited a lot. Marquis Wei also often comes to Huguo Temple, so he must have unique insights into Buddhism. I wonder if I could ask Marquis Wei to discuss it."
Wei Zhao looked up at the golden figure in the hall, and said in a cold voice, "There's no need to talk about it, you've already lost."
Liao Yin's face changed slightly: "The poor monk is dull."
Wei Zhao nodded mercilessly and said: "You are indeed stupid. All living beings are equal in Buddhism. In front of the Buddha, I am just a believer. And you call me by the layman's title of Marquis Wei, which shows that you do not regard me as a Buddha." Disciple, it also shows that your six sense organs are not pure, and you are greedy for the mundane world."
These words became a little harsh, because his face turned red.
He was a little sullen, and said: "I heard that Master Wei had a kind heart when he was young, and he took pity on the weak. Even an ant would not bear to hurt him. Now he has become a murderous executioner. It is a shame to call himself a Buddhist believer Buddha's eyes and ears."
Wei Zhao sneered: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you make a mistake and read a copy of Xiangshan Jing, what's the use of the law?"
Liao Yin said: "The sins of human death disappear, but Master Wei wants to implicate the innocent, even a corpse, which is cruel. Today, the world is ruled by benevolence and righteousness, but there is a corpse hanging on the wall of Shengjing City. It violates morality and justice. If the same behavior is followed, and the common people become as brutal as the benefactor of Wei, then it will be a disaster for the country. Good and evil will be repaid, and misfortune and good fortune will follow each other. Don't benefactor Wei be afraid that he will not be able to sleep peacefully at night if he does this."
He sighed: "Benefactor Wei is a person with the heart of Buddha, why not be merciful, let innocent people go, and Master Wei himself."
"Innocent?" He walked through the empty hall and stopped under the corridor.Pointing to the fluttering snowflakes, he said: "This winter is extremely cold, and people in many villages around Shengjing have frozen to death. The heavy snow has overwhelmed the houses, and the people have lost their homes. Tell me, which snowflake is innocent in this heavy snowfall?" What? It’s their fueling, turning a blind eye, adding insult to injury, indifference, and the so-called self-defense that allow those in power to do whatever they want! Compared to those aristocratic families who invaded good land and fished people, my Wei family does not invade the people at all, and I defend the family and protect the family In defending the country, there is no complaint or regret when you die on the battlefield. Isn’t this compassion? I treat others with compassion, but who treats me with compassion?”
He looked at Yin, his eyes cold and said: "When my Wei family army was cornered, why didn't you talk to those people about mercy? When my grandmother was dragged to parade in the street, why didn't you talk to those people about it?" humane?"
Liao was forced to step back step by step due to his terrifying eyes, he couldn't look directly into those black eyes, just like he couldn't look directly at his heart that had been infected by the world.
"What is great mercy? It is kindness to help the world and compassion for the world. But in my opinion, the kindness to the enemy will lead to the greatest sorrow in the world!"
Wei Zhao chuckled twice, and the deep laughter echoed in the empty hall, breathtaking.
He said: "Huguo Temple has enjoyed so many years of royal worship, and it is a bit ignorant."
One sentence vetoed the Huguo Temple, and also vetoed the status of Buddhism in the world, and made more vested interests hate Wei Zhao.Many people even criticized him for being unfilial.
But there are also people who can see clearly that both Buddhism and Taoism are essentially just theories to educate the people.In recent years, Buddhist temples have prospered, while Taoism has declined.Under the imperial power, Buddhist temples have many natural advantages.There are even state capitals that do not hesitate to occupy fertile land and regard it as Buddhist land in order to support Buddhist temples.What's more, the common people don't want to farm, so they go to the monastery to become monks.
Wei Zhao's move is to tell Li Kui that those in power must hide their preferences, otherwise the upper and lower will be effective, and the lower will be worse.
----
After a spring rain, Qingshi Road was washed clean and clear.No one noticed when the bones on the city wall were taken down, because the bones had already taken root and sprouted in the hearts of those people.
In half a year, the imperial court thoroughly investigated the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials and found many problems, and the Wang family was the first to bear the brunt.In order to protect the family, the head of the Wang family abandoned the children of those clans.Unexpectedly, those officials who were investigated killed Patriarch Wang to death.The same family and the same root, one is prosperous and the other is damaged.
The head of the Wang family has repeatedly written letters to prove his innocence, and he did not hesitate to give up a lot of benefits.However, the final verdict of the imperial court is: the king's family is incapable of governing the family, the clansmen are not kind at the top, not filial at the bottom, disorderly in human relations, and without principles.Both sides have their reasons, and it is difficult to decide the case.Order to separate and sever relations.Whether it is right or wrong will be judged.
Patriarch Wang passed out on the spot and never got up again.
Qin Sheng, who became the auxiliary minister, always felt very grateful for his father's wise and decisive day when he heard how many scandals were caused by the separation of the Wang family.Although the division of the Qin family caused a lot of trouble, at least in the eyes of the world, the division of the family is considered peaceful and the clan members are considered close.It's not like the Wang family, who are flying around and making jokes for the world to see.
Even Wang Yi had to say to Qin Sheng enviously, "Your Majesty is wise."
After getting off duty, Chen Jinghuai found Wang Yi and asked him, "Do you want to drink?"
Wang Yi squinted at him: "With your drinking capacity, why don't you drink with me?"
Chen Jinghuai choked.
Wang Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry about comforting me, I've already been separated from the clan."
Chen Jinghuai said: "It's just a little embarrassing, a century-old clan."
Wang Yi bent the corner of his mouth: "It's just a puddle of mud——"
Meiyuan is still as lively as ever.
It's just that Wei Zhao and Feng Yu are the only four dudes from back then.They sat in the private room, listening to the ethereal tune through the curtain, as if they had been separated from each other.
"I heard that the Han family is going to use troops against Dongyue." Feng Yu folded his sleeves and turned his head to look at the magnificent Jinshui River outside the window.
Wei Zhao said indifferently: "Recovering Dongyue is a crime and meritorious deed."
Feng Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will deploy General Yuanmeng in advance. But after this incident, the Han family may no longer be able to command troops."
After a long silence, Wei Zhao smiled suddenly: "Are you reminding me?"
Feng Yu set his eyes on Wei Zhao's cold face, and said: "People's hearts are fickle, and birds are hidden. Although those rumors outside were released on purpose, since the rumors can spread, it shows that there are such thoughts. There are not a few people. The power of the Wei family is too great, so big that it can threaten the imperial power at any time. I think you should understand that even if there is no check and balance from the noble family, the situation in the court will not be peaceful. Disputes. And at that time, you, the Marquis of Jinyi, who held great power, were the target of public criticism."
Wei Zhao raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Feng Yu, you will be a virtuous minister."
Feng Yu smiled faintly: "He is dying, and he wants to see you. Do you want to go?"
Since the public trial, Li Huai has been sick and groggy all day long.He could always see a woman in light blue with a smile, and he wanted to get close to her, but found that he couldn't catch her no matter what.He can only keep going, keep walking——
Xu Shi turned back to the light, but Li Huai was rarely sober this day.He heard Mingde report to him about the court affairs during this period, and he didn't know how he felt when he learned that the aristocratic family suppressed by Wei Zhao's resolute methods had no power to fight back.
His mind has never been so clear as it is now.He was thinking, if he could have forbeared back then and used Wei Shi's knife to eradicate the noble forces first, when he holds absolute power in his hands, Wei Shi will be nothing more than fish and meat on the case.
But when he saw the cold-faced young man in black, he felt like a blow to his head.Because he suddenly understood that not everyone can use Wei's knife.Including his good prince Li Kui.
With a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, Li Huai said hoarsely, "You are here."
Wei Zhao responded lightly, without any extra words.
"I regret it." Li Huai said suddenly. "Lying in bed for more than half a year, I have thought a lot, and I understand that I have done many irreparable things. But the only thing I have not regretted is marrying your sister, although this marriage was also planned by me."
"I announced you back to Beijing and didn't mention King Qin in the booklet. You still only brought 5000 people back to Beijing. I should understand that Wei's background is definitely not what I know. And you, Wei Zhao, you More capable than I imagined. Therefore, Changle and Pei'er must be alive and well, aren't they? "
"Yes."
Li Huai smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden: "Thank you, this way, at least I still have a chance to apologize to your sister. I saw her."
Wei Zhao looked into his eyes, and mercilessly exposed Li Huai, he said: "If you want to ask, just ask, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Li Huai was a little flustered, his bony hands tightly clutching the bright yellow quilt, and another heart-piercing cough.
When he recovered, his face was already a little purple.
He laughed at himself and said, "That's right, I am such a person, and I can't change it all my life. I want to know the truth, and I want to know whose son Pei'er is."
Wei Zhao turned around and said coldly, "The answer is obvious, he is indeed a child of the Li family."
Li Huai couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.
Wei Zhao had already reached the gate of the hall, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Sister treats you sincerely, but I don't think you deserve it."
In the summer of the 11th year of Xuanping, Li Huai died.Prince Li Kui succeeded the emperor and changed his reign name to Kanghe.
In the first year of Kanghe, Sima Shan of Nanliang surrendered the whole country.
In the third year of Kanghe, Dongyue was destroyed.The following year, General Han Qing led his army back to surrender.
During the three years of Li Qi's reign, the territory of Qi State continued to expand, and finally realized the unification of the world.
The emperor worked hard to govern, and all the ministers worked together. Beidi, a powerful northern country, was fighting endlessly and had no energy to spare.
In order to keep his position as the overlord of the grassland, Butai sent Yin Shijun to Wei Zhao immediately after killing Suo Lang.Wei Zhao didn't even raise his eyelids, because in his eyes, Yin Shijun was nothing more than an ant.
He is Jin Yihou, he has the strongest iron hoof in the Qi country, has supreme power, and has all the powers of life and death.
He can stand on the top floor of the Xuanming Hall, overlooking the entire imperial city from a high position, and all living beings are under his feet.
"Power is poison, and desire is an abyss. They will make people want to stop, and they will be out of control. No one who is infected with them will get out of the body, including me." Wei Zhao said.
Li Kui shook his head: "Everything Marquis Wei does is for the benefit of the people. Although he acts domineeringly, it is extremely effective."
"That's why I have to stop the loss in time, before I have completely fallen into the abyss. Because the pleasure of dominating everything will make people lost, especially when the shortcomings in your heart cannot be made up. Li Kui, Wei Shi will withdraw from the dynasty. Hall."
He opened his umbrella and walked in the drizzle.
Li Kui saluted him respectfully, and said loudly: "Wei family will not rebel, and Li family will protect Wei family to enjoy wealth forever."
What was left to him was a lonely and stubborn back.
Today's youth will be old tomorrow, the blue shirt will no longer be, and the brocade clothes will return——

Patriarch Wang hissed, his eyes widened suddenly, and he kept patting his palms: "Okay, what a good way!"
In the middle of winter, the wind is bitter.
All the officials involved in the Cui family's rebellion case should be executed and exiled.Jingzhong fell silent for a while.
Towards the New Year, the city is bustling again.It's just that the families didn't feel the New Year's atmosphere, instead they were a little more depressed and restrained.Cui Feng's air-dried human skeleton is still hanging on the city wall, as if to warn these people that the matter is not completely over yet.
Wei Zhao sent the Buddhist scriptures copied by Mrs. Wei to the Huguo Temple and handed them over to the young monk Wuming.
Wuming smiled and said, "Of course the abbot has gone to retreat, I will enshrine this Buddhist scripture well."
Wei Zhao nodded lightly: "I'm sorry, Master Wuming. Oh, is Mr. Gao Hai in the temple?"
Wu Ming said: "There is no Gao Hai in this temple, only Wu Xiang who has just started. Will Wei Shi meet you?"
Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Since you are a foreigner, there is no need to see him or not. Who is in charge of the temple now?"
Wu Ming rubbed his frozen hands and said, "It's Master Liao Yin, he's in the front hall right now. It's cold today, and there are few people in the temple. May Master Wei go to offer incense sticks?"
"Of course it is."
Ignorance leads the way.
But Wei Zhao said: "You go and get busy, I often come to Huguo Temple, I know the way."

Wei Zhao turned around and looked at his thin back, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and after a while, the corridor was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.He walked slowly in the snow, listening to the soothing bells in the temple.
Seeing that he was offering incense, Liao Yin came forward with a smile and said, "Old Madam Wei and Empress Wei are both people who believe in Buddhism and are compassionate. It is clear that the abbot often discusses Buddhist principles with the old matriarch. It has benefited a lot.

Good and evil will be repaid, and misfortune and good fortune will follow each other. Don't benefactor Wei be afraid that he will not be able to sleep peacefully at night if he does this."
He sighed: "Benefactor Wei is a person with the heart of Buddha, why not be merciful, let innocent people go, and Master Wei himself."
"Innocent?" He walked through the empty hall and stopped under the corridor.Pointing to the fluttering snowflakes, he said: "This winter is extremely cold, and people in many villages around Shengjing have frozen to death. The heavy snow has overwhelmed the houses, and the people have lost their homes. Tell me, which snowflake is innocent in this heavy snowfall?" What?

He looked at Yin, his eyes cold and said: "When my Wei family army was cornered, why didn't you talk to those people about mercy? When my grandmother was dragged to parade in the street, why didn't you talk to those people about it?" humane?"
Liao was forced to step back step by step due to his terrifying eyes, he couldn't look directly into those black eyes, just like he couldn't look directly at his heart that had been infected by the world.

Qin Sheng, who became the auxiliary minister, always felt very grateful for his father's wise and decisive day when he heard how many scandals were caused by the separation of the Wang family.Although the division of the Qin family caused a lot of trouble, at least in the eyes of the world, the division of the family is considered peaceful and the clan members are considered close.It's not like the Wang family, who are flying around and making jokes for the world to see.
Even Wang Yi had to say to Qin Sheng enviously, "Your Majesty is wise."
After getting off duty, Chen Jinghuai found Wang Yi and asked him, "Do you want to drink?"
Wang Yi squinted at him: "With your drinking capacity, why don't you drink with me?"
Chen Jinghuai choked.
Wang Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry about comforting me, I've already been separated from the clan."
Chen Jinghuai said: "It's just a little embarrassing, a century-old clan."
Wang Yi bent the corner of his mouth: "It's just a puddle of mud——"
Meiyuan is still as lively as ever.
It's just that Wei Zhao and Feng Yu are the only four dudes from back then.They sat in the private room, listening to the ethereal tune through the curtain, as if they had been separated from each other.
"I heard that the Han family is going to use troops against Dongyue." Feng Yu folded his sleeves and turned his head to look at the magnificent Jinshui River outside the window.
Wei Zhao said indifferently: "Recovering Dongyue is a crime and meritorious deed."
Feng Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will deploy General Yuanmeng in advance. But after this incident, the Han family may no longer be able to command troops."
After a long silence, Wei Zhao smiled suddenly: "Are you reminding me?"
Feng Yu set his eyes on Wei Zhao's cold face, and said: "People's hearts are fickle, and birds are hidden. Although those rumors outside were released on purpose, since the rumors can spread, it shows that there are such thoughts. There are not a few people. The power of the Wei family is too great, so big that it can threaten the imperial power at any time. I think you should understand that even if there is no check and balance from the noble family, the situation in the court will not be peaceful. Disputes. And at that time, you, the Marquis of Jinyi, who held great power, were the target of public criticism."
Wei Zhao raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Feng Yu, you will be a virtuous minister."
Feng Yu smiled faintly: "He is dying, and he wants to see you. Do you want to go?"
Since the public trial, Li Huai has been sick and groggy all day long.He could always see a woman in light blue with a smile, and he wanted to get close to her, but found that he couldn't catch her no matter what.He can only keep going, keep walking——
Xu Shi turned back to the light, but Li Huai was rarely sober this day.He heard Mingde report to him about the court affairs during this period, and he didn't know how he felt when he learned that the aristocratic family suppressed by Wei Zhao's resolute methods had no power to fight back.
His mind has never been so clear as it is now.He was thinking, if he could have forbeared back then and used Wei Shi's knife to eradicate the noble forces first, when he holds absolute power in his hands, Wei Shi will be nothing more than fish and meat on the case.
But when he saw the cold-faced young man in black, he felt like a blow to his head.Because he suddenly understood that not everyone can use Wei's knife.Including his good prince Li Kui.
With a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, Li Huai said hoarsely, "You are here."
Wei Zhao responded lightly, without any extra words.
"I regret it." Li Huai said suddenly. "Lying in bed for more than half a year, I have thought a lot, and I understand that I have done many irreparable things. But the only thing I have not regretted is marrying your sister, although this marriage was also planned by me."
"I announced you back to Beijing and didn't mention King Qin in the booklet. You still only brought 5000 people back to Beijing. I should understand that Wei's background is definitely not what I know. And you, Wei Zhao, you More capable than I imagined. Therefore, Changle and Pei'er must be alive and well, aren't they? "
"Yes."
Li Huai smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden: "Thank you, this way, at least I still have a chance to apologize to your sister. I saw her."
Wei Zhao looked into his eyes, and mercilessly exposed Li Huai, he said: "If you want to ask, just ask, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Li Huai was a little flustered, his bony hands tightly clutching the bright yellow quilt, and another heart-piercing cough.
When he recovered, his face was already a little purple.
He laughed at himself and said, "That's right, I am such a person, and I can't change it all my life. I want to know the truth, and I want to know whose son Pei'er is."
Wei Zhao turned around and said coldly, "The answer is obvious, he is indeed a child of the Li family."
Li Huai couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.
Wei Zhao had already reached the gate of the hall, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Sister treats you sincerely, but I don't think you deserve it."
In the summer of the 11th year of Xuanping, Li Huai died.Prince Li Kui succeeded the emperor and changed his reign name to Kanghe.
In the first year of Kanghe, Sima Shan of Nanliang surrendered the whole country.
In the third year of Kanghe, Dongyue was destroyed.The following year, General Han Qing led his army back to surrender.
During the three years of Li Qi's reign, the territory of Qi State continued to expand, and finally realized the unification of the world.
The emperor worked hard to govern, and all the ministers worked together. Beidi, a powerful northern country, was fighting endlessly and had no energy to spare.
In order to keep his position as the overlord of the grassland, Butai sent Yin Shijun to Wei Zhao immediately after killing Suo Lang.Wei Zhao didn't even raise his eyelids, because in his eyes, Yin Shijun was nothing more than an ant.
He is Jin Yihou, he has the strongest iron hoof in the Qi country, has supreme power, and has all the powers of life and death.
He can stand on the top floor of the Xuanming Hall, overlooking the entire imperial city from a high position, and all living beings are under his feet.
"Power is poison, and desire is an abyss. They will make people want to stop, and they will be out of control. No one who is infected with them will get out of the body, including me." Wei Zhao said.
Li Kui shook his head: "Everything Marquis Wei does is for the benefit of the people. Although he acts domineeringly, it is extremely effective."
"That's why I have to stop the loss in time, before I have completely fallen into the abyss. Because the pleasure of dominating everything will make people lost, especially when the shortcomings in your heart cannot be made up. Li Kui, Wei Shi will withdraw from the dynasty. Hall."
He opened his umbrella and walked in the drizzle.
Li Kui saluted him respectfully, and said loudly: "Wei family will not rebel, and Li family will protect Wei family to enjoy wealth forever."
What was left to him was a lonely and stubborn back.
Today's youth will be old tomorrow, the blue shirt will no longer be, and the brocade clothes will return——
