Dalseong is a bit stuffy after the rain in May, and soft and clear music came from the backyard of Ulsan Junfu, and people passing by outside the walls of Junfu stopped to listen.

"Young Master! Do you want to play it again?" The artist Xin has already played this konghou twice, and the young master is still in a trance as he is lying on the pillow.

"Oh, no need." Hearing Artist Xin's inquiry, Young Master Guang looked up at the hourglass and realized that he was too distracted. Before he knew it, Artist Xin had been playing for nearly an hour.

"Is it because Xin's performance can't attract the young master?" Xin's eyes were lowered, and there was grievance in her soft voice. There were rumors everywhere in Ulsan Jun's mansion that young master Guang loved Nanbu governor Zheng Yuming, and the waiters looked at him with suspicion kind of mercy.

"Xin, you think too much. Xin's performance is like a fairy sound from outside the sky. You can't get tired of listening to it a hundred times. You just haven't been in a good mood recently, and you're in a trance." Young Master Guang felt apologetic in his heart, and Xin would be very tired playing the konghou for an hour. Seeing Xin's lonely face, Young Master Guang couldn't help comforting him softly.

Artist Xin's performance skills are superb. The konghou music he plays sometimes emits a deep and deep bass, just like the sound of a guqin, and sometimes emits a bright and clear treble, as if a guzheng is "singing", and sometimes it can emit the harp sound of flowing water. , is very beautiful and moving music. At the first time when Gong Ziguang enjoyed the performance of the artist Xin, he was fascinated by it. Since then, he has not heard Xin's konghou performance for three days, and Gong Ziguang is a little bit lazy.

"What's your worry, son? Can Xin relieve your worries?" Xin was in a kneeling position when she played, and at this moment her upper body straightened up and she cupped her fists and bowed to Master Guang, her face full of concern.

Seeing the sincerity on Xin's face, Young Master Guangpi wanted to say something out of his mouth, but when he saw the musical instrument beside Xin, Young Master Guang couldn't help laughing at himself. He was so confused that he wanted to express his sadness to an artist.

"I just haven't been sleeping well recently, and my spirits are low. The doctor said it's because of the change of seasons. It will get better after a while. Xin doesn't have to worry."

"It's fine as long as the young master is fine." Xin lowered her head, her voice was reassuring, as if she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart after hearing that the young master was fine.

A dumb slave walked in gently, babbling and gesticulating to the young master Guang. The artist Xin next to him often came into contact with the dumb slave, so he could roughly understand some of the dumb slave's body language. It was Wei Shen who was coming.

Sure enough, after the dumb servant finished gesticulating, Wei Shen's footsteps sounded outside the house.

"Xin sees Wei Sheren!" Artist Xin quickly got up after Wei Shen entered the door, and saluted Wei Shen respectfully.

"Young Master!" Wei Shen saluted Young Master Guang first, then straightened up and casually greeted Artist Xin: "Young Master, don't worry too much."

"Young master! Xin resigns." Artist Xin saw Wei Shen's frowning expression, and knew that he had to leave.Xin has been with Young Master Guang for two years, and knows the temper of the actual ruler of Dacheng very well. If Wei Shen doesn't discuss business with Young Master Guang, then it doesn't matter if he is by Young Master Guang's side. If there is something important to discuss, Wei Shen I get very impatient when I look at myself.

"Yeah!" Young Master Guang nodded to Artist Xin, then beckoned to the waiter outside the door: "Reward Artist Xin fifty gold."

"Thank you son!" Artist Xin leaned over to thank him, he was already accustomed to the rewards from son Guang, and he did not have the surprise at the beginning.

After hearing artist Xin's footsteps going away, Wei Shen knelt and sat on the side of Young Master Guang's couch.

"Young master, don't worry too much, the king will not disobey the ancestral rules."

"Father Wei, the royal father favors Yi Ji so much that right and wrong are so irrelevant." Young Master Guang's face was full of anger, and when he got along with Wei Shen, Young Master Guang's emotions were finally no longer suppressed.

"The status of the entire Great Qin vassal state is the successor, and the king knows very well that he will not risk the world's disgrace." Wei Shen comforted Prince Guang, and the latest news came from the capital of Wu. The general has publicly expressed his support for Prince Zhao of Wu.

"Father and king are now fatuous. When mother and concubine were here, they loved and loved them a lot, but they didn't show any mercy to the Wei family." There was resentment in Gongzi Guang's voice.At that time, the king of Wu put the interests of the Wu country first, so why is he only caring about selfishness now that he is old.

"Your Majesty was ambitious at the time." Wei Shen heard the young master Guang talk about the Wei family, the muscles on his face twitched, it was the pain of the whole Wei family.

Wei Shen is actually a descendant of the royal family. He and his son Guang’s mother, Wei Ji, are both from the royal family of Wei. Wei is a small country between Chu and Wu, and a vassal state of Wu. Wu Chaogong was fooled and sent troops to attack Wei. When the city was broken, King Wei and the prince were killed in the palace. The royal family of Wei and the nobles of Wei were all captured. Kill), Wei Shen and Wei Ji are cousins, both offshoots of the royal family, Prince Guang's mother was born beautiful, and was taken into the harem by King Wu at a glance, because Wei Ji was favored, the two uncles of Wei Shen and Gong Ziguang were taken by Wu The king brought back to the state of Wu, while other Wei royal families and nobles were dispatched to the city. Nine years ago, Wei Shen protected his son Guang to the city, but found that the nobles who were exiled to the city were almost dead.Wei Shen's wish to find a helper in Dacheng fails.

"That Yi Ji is just a village woman, and my father scolded the prince because of her."

Wei Shen listened to Young Master Guang's grievances, looked up at the child he had held since he was a child, and heaved a long sigh.

Wu's Prince Zhao and Prince Guang did not have the same mother. Prince Zhao was three years older than Prince Guang.Prince Zhao's mother is more noble than Wei Ji, she is the youngest daughter of the old Zhao Wang, and now Zhao Wang's biological sister is the queen of Wu, and died after giving birth to Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao was only two years old when Wei Ji entered the palace.Wei Ji took good care of Prince Zhao while she was alive. At that time, Prince Zhao was relatively close to Wei Ji. After Wei Ji passed away, Prince Guang arrived in the feudal city, and Prince Zhao and Prince Guang gradually became estranged.However, strangers are strangers, Prince Zhao has no malice towards Young Master Guang, and when Prince Zhao succeeds to the throne, he will tolerate Wei Ji's affection for taking care of her, and tolerate Young Master Guang's partiality to Nanman.

If Gong Zizhao can't successfully succeed to the throne and let Yi Ji's plan start, then Gong Ziguang will be very dangerous in Dacheng. Yi Ji is the biggest suspect in the death of Gong Ziguang's mother and brother.Before Wei Ji died, she tried to get the consent of King Wu, and asked Wei Shen and her two elder brothers to send son Guang to Fengyi. After seven days in the capital city of Wu, the fragrance disappeared.

Yiji is a beautiful woman collected from the countryside by Dr. Jiang, the minister of King Wu. She was raised at home and dedicated to King Wu when she was sixteen. Yiji entered the palace when Prince Guang was five years old. At that time, Ji Wei was the second The son Ming just was born.After entering the palace, Yi Ji kept her duty and was always respectful and polite in front of Wei Ji.Although the relationship with Wei Ji is not close, it is also peaceful.Five years later, Yiji's son Yong was born, and Yiji's attitude towards Weiji became more and more respectful, and she became even more favored in front of King Wu.

Young Master Guang remembers very clearly that nine years ago he went to look for Wei Shen and asked Wei Shen to explain the history books for him. He returned to Wei Ji's palace late for dinner, and when he entered the palace, he saw his six-year-old brother rolling on the ground, Wei Ji was next to her with a pale face and kept yelling for the doctor, while Yi Ji was holding her pet piglet and was terrified.

When the palace doctor arrived, he was helpless, and Gongzi Guang's younger brother Ming died in his arms.Wei Ji couldn't bear the blow and passed out on the spot.King Wu rushed to hear the news and asked the doctor about the cause of his third son Ming's death. The doctor looked at Yi Ji and hesitated for a moment before saying that it was food poisoning, which was caused by eating dinner.

As soon as Yi Ji heard that it was food poisoning, she knelt down on the spot and cried loudly. It turned out that the several pots of seasonal vegetables for dinner were given by Yi Ji, and Yi Ji herself ate them. Now the doctor said that the young master had food poisoning If she dies, then she is the prime suspect.

Facing King Wu’s suspicious gaze, Yiji argued that she also ate seasonal vegetables, and if the seasonal vegetables she sent were poisonous, she would be poisoned too. In order to prove her innocence to King Wu, Yiji asked the piglet in her hand to eat leftovers As a result, the little pig ate up the leftovers and was still alive and kicking.When King Wu saw this, he was furious and ordered the doctor to be executed on the spot. King Wu believed that the doctor was incapable of treating the prince, and to shirk his responsibility, he framed his concubine, which was too abominable.

When Wei Ji woke up, she was overwhelmed with grief, and began to feel sick, vomited, and had diarrhea. She knew that she might not be able to afford it. Looking at her eldest son whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, Wei Ji resisted the discomfort, and grabbed King Wu's sleeve to beg, saying it was hope. Seeing his son get the fief as soon as possible, the king of Wu knew from the doctor that Wei Ji was not long. Seeing Wei Ji's haggard but still beautiful face, recalling the old friendship, he made an exception and granted the second son's fief early. According to the old rules of the Qin Dynasty, princes will not be granted fiefdoms until they are 15 years old. Because of his mother's request, son Guang got the fiefdom three years earlier and left the Wu Palace three years earlier.

After the princes of the vassal states were granted land, they had to leave the capital immediately to go to their own fiefs, and they could only return to the capital to worship after receiving the king's edict.

After Wei Ji's death, Yi Ji wailed loudly, showing affection as sisters, and everyone in the palace shed tears. Yi Ji, Wei Ji, and the young master had eaten together, which already proved her innocence, not to mention that Yi Ji made her beloved pet small The pig testified for her that the little pig was Yi Ji's favorite, and after raising the little pig, Yi Ji cared more about the little pig than her son, so much so that the King of Wu once joked that Yi Ji was reincarnated.When Wei Ji was buried, Yi Ji hid her face in front of King Wu and wept bitterly, saying that she was sad and wished she could go to the underworld with Wei Ji, but she wanted to keep her body to serve the king, so she had to let her beloved little pig accompany Wei Ji instead. , Begged King Wu to let her put the piglet in the tomb of Wei Ji.

The king of Wu was very moved after hearing this, and even called him a virtuous concubine. After Wei Ji was buried, Yi Ji was named a concubine. In the harem of the princes, her rank was second only to the queen. From now on, Yi Ji is the only one who favors the King of Wu from now on.

After the Spring Festival this year, the King of Wu was infected with the wind and cold, and Yi Ji waited day and night without taking off her clothes. However, Prince Zhao, since King Wu fell ill, did not see him go to the King of Wu to greet and visit him. Medieval music was everywhere, and the envoys inquired, and it turned out that Prince Zhao was actually in Naji.The envoy was shocked when he heard this, and instead of going to the prince's mansion to summon him, he immediately returned to the palace to report to the king of Wu.

King Wu heard this on the hospital bed, and fainted in a flash of anger. After waking up, he yelled three times in a row, counting Prince Zhao's unfilial piety, and his words had the intention of abolishing the throne.

These things happened in February, and when Young Master Guang received the news from the palace contacts, it was already the end of March, which was the day after Zheng Yuming presented the waterwheel.

When Wei Shen got the news, he immediately sent people to the capital to carry out activities. Crown Prince Zhao cannot be deposed. If the crown prince is deposed, Yi Ji's next thorn in the side is Prince Guang, because no matter how much the king of Wu favors Yi Ji, he can't change the rule of succession. After Ji pulled the prince off the horse, as long as she killed the son Guang, her son Yong would be able to take the throne in a legitimate way.
