Chapter 723 The First Dynasty
(Everyone, this is the last volume!!)
On March 25, the second year of King Xiao of Zhou, Wei Zhaohou died in Yongming Palace, and Wuyangjun Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne as the new king of Wei.
This news spread throughout the countries of Jiuzhou in less than a month, and the heroes looked at each other.
The king of the Great Wei Kingdom, the man whom the nations feared, died like this...
In the eyes of many people, this news always gives people a sense of innocence. How could Marquis of Wei die like this? People like him should die in a grand manner.
Although everyone was afraid of the reputation of the Marquis of Wei, most of the countries did not have a good impression of him, so there were not many envoys who went to Wei to express their condolences.
On the contrary, the Qin State sent a hundred thousand troops at the end of March to launch a fierce attack on the direction of Xiguan, which was also a greeting to the departure of Wei Hou.
Under this intensity of attack, Xiguan almost lost its life and death difficulties. Thanks to the fact that reinforcements were sent to the Changping Camp, the Changping camp solved his life and death difficulties.
The attacks of the Qin people were just ahead of them, and they were unsustainable after they were in a deadlock. The consumption of the 100,000 troops was also a heavy burden for the Qin State.
Therefore, this war came and went quickly. It took only one month to eliminate the war and peace was restored to the west of Wei.
What is a little more reassuring is that Qi and Chu are now paying attention to the south, and they have not launched an attack on Wei.
In fact, the most difficult part of the big country today is Wu. The consequence of being suppressed and beaten by Qi and Chu is that the land originally occupied by Wu was not only spit out, but also lost a lot of its original territory.
It is predictable that Qi and Chu were determined this time to break the backbone of Wu so that they could have a stable rear.
Therefore, after the attack of Qin, Wei State settled down for a while, and there were no enemy to attack in the four directions of southeast, west and north.
Of course, at this time, Wei Wuji was naturally as a human being with his tail between his legs, so it was impossible for him to take the initiative to cause trouble for himself.
Everything is still under control. Wei Wuji's main thing in Wu'an is to handle the funeral for his father... which is what the "Wei Zhaohou" mentioned in the previous article.
The posthumous title of Wei Zhaohou was given by the ministers below. Although Wei Wuji didn't understand it very well, he had to have the word "Zhao" not a bad posthumous title, so he just let it go.
In theory, the great mourning of Zhaohou would last for one year, but in strict terms it would take only three months. Wei Wuji used this period of time to become familiar with various affairs in the court.
After all, he had never made achievements in political affairs before, and many things needed to be learned unless he wanted to be fooled by his subordinates.
And during this period, when the mourning ceremony of the Marquis of Wei was about to end and was about to be officially buried, a coup occurred in Wu'an, almost knocking down Wei Wuji, who had just taken the position of monarch!
As Wei Wuji's defense weakened, his brother with a very weak presence actually gathered a team of nearly 3,000 people and launched a night attack on Wei Palace.
Fortunately, these people were not fully equipped with armor and were not large in number, so they were suppressed by the martial soldiers who rushed over with the guards in the palace.
Although the situation was calmed down, the impact was extremely bad, which made Wei Wuji's heart tense after a while.
After the Qin army retreated, he lived a little comfortable life during this period and forgot that he was always in crisis.
After the rebellion was suppressed, Wei Duoxun, as the planner, was about to be punished, but was stopped by the soldiers, which left Wei Wuji a trouble.
What should Wei Duoxun deal with? Should he kill or imprison?
If it is a killing, of course it is in line with Wei Wuji's wishes... But then he is his brother after all, how could he attack his brother as a monarch?
Wei Wuji's ability to rise to power depends on the hearts of the army and the people, so he must show his tolerance and let his people feel his benevolence.
Then there is only one way left, that is, imprison Wei Duoxun, but there are some hidden dangers in doing so!
After Wei Duoxun was imprisoned, the other accomplices were not so lucky. Wei Wuji was punished and treated all of these people in order to dig out the people behind them.
If these people can make such a big noise in Wu'an City, there must be support from the people of the aristocratic races, and only they have such great energy.
Wei Wuji did not deal with the person who was interrogated immediately. He was waiting for all the water to come out...
Of course, now that during the great mourning period of the Wei Hou, Wei Wuji did not intend to cause any more trouble. He just strengthened his control for Wu'an City.
After Wei Duoxun's incident, Wei Wuji was not at ease with Wei Jianlin from the Xiangping camp in the south, but issued several edicts urging him to return to Wu'an to attend the funeral.
In fact, the day after the death of Wei Hou, Wei Wuji issued an edict to ask Wei Jianlin to come back, but somehow this guy has been delayed until now.
Fortunately, in the first half month after the death of the Wei Hou, Wei Jianlin, who had been traveling for more than two months, finally arrived in Wu'an!
Only then did Wei Wuji realize that his third brother was already withered and looked like he was a teenager older than before.
It seems that his succession to the throne had a great blow to Wei Jianlin, otherwise Wei Jianlin shouldn't have been like this, and in Wei Wuji's mind he shouldn't have been like this.
But Wei Wuji was also wondering whether this guy was deliberately trying to show him this way, in order to confuse him!
To be honest, Wei Wuji's suspicion is becoming increasingly serious now, which also shows that he has become more and more in line with the standards of a qualified monarch.
Although Wei Jianlin was in poor health, Wei Wuji still arranged for him to stay in front of Wei Houling, so as to facilitate surveillance of him.
At this time, it was no longer ruthless or not. Wei Wuji even wanted to be more ruthless and kill these two restless brothers, which would undoubtedly be easier.
But this is just thinking about it!
On June 25, the second year of King Xiao of Zhou (the 18th year of King Zhaohou of Wei), the grand funeral of the Marquis of Wei ended. Wei Wuji ordered the ministers and major tribes of Wu'an to hold a grand dynasty meeting on the first day of June.
This is the first major dynasty meeting held in a true sense except for the previous succession hall since Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne.
Everyone understands the significance of this dynasty meeting, and many people have long been looking forward to the holding of this dynasty meeting.
Those who have made contributions in Wei Wuji's advancement have long been impatient for the delayed reward of merit.
Of course, some people are looking forward to it, and some are afraid. The major tribes in Wu'an are very nervous about the upcoming dynasty meeting.
Although the new king has not attacked them in recent months, his attitude is not friendly. Many officials from aristocratic families have been scolded for some trivial matters during the mourning period.
What's more, the eldest son rebelled again some time ago. They knew whether there were any aristocratic races involved, and it was even more uneasy here.
