Chapter 840: The Thirteenth Year of Wei Hou

(Dear brothers and sisters, can you please subscribe to the project? Check out the top comments and then follow them!)

Winter has passed, and Jiuzhou has entered a new year.

During this year, a total of 100,000 Chu troops were stationed in the royal capital south of Shangluo, and 50,000 Qin troops were stationed in the north of Shangluo.

In the south of the royal capital, because Wei did not respect the royal family, Wu officially announced that he would end his ally with Wei and decided to send troops to defend the royal capital.

It was precisely because of the resolution of the Wu Kingdom that the troops entrenched around the royal capital found a common banner.

Therefore, all the nations raised the banner of honoring the king and refuting the Wei Dynasty.

The reason for such an operation was that although Chu was the most powerful among the countries, Qin and Wu also had certain strength. It was difficult for Chu to convince the countries.

In this case, taking out the broken flag of the Zhou royal family can be used to unite the majority.

The countries displayed large armies around the royal capital, and the Wei State would not sit idly by. Wei Wuji also drew troops from the whole country, and a total of 150,000 troops were arranged by him to the area north of the royal capital.

Today, the Wei Kingdom is the most powerful of the princes. The number of troops in the country has reached nearly 600,000. Together with the county soldiers stationed in various places, the total force has reached nearly 800,000.

The troops at this order of magnitude are twice that of the second-strongest Chu State.

Therefore, it was not a big deal for the Wei State to draw 150,000 troops to the royal capital area.

The other Wei troops were mainly placed in the occupied Qin and Qi countries in order to suppress and stabilize the local situation.

The royal capital was only a county, but nearly 400,000 troops gathered to confront each other. The situation was extremely tense.

In contrast, the thousands of new troops that Emperor Ji Xiao relied on seemed insignificant in this kind of scene and could not give him a sense of security at all.

Although the situation was tense, because the involvement was too great, no one dared to take action first, so the situation was in a strange balance again.

The only thing that is still in war happened on the territory of Qi, which is still retained by one-third.

Although Wei Wuji was not ready to destroy Qi in one fell swoop, it did not mean that he would ignore Tian Yuwen, so Wei Wuji ordered to launch a strike against the Qi army from time to time.

Therefore, in such a relatively peaceful environment, the eleventh and twelve years of Wei Hou passed.

It took thirteen years for the Marquis of Wei to complete two years. The State of Wei completely stabilized the land of Qi and implemented a policy of rest and recuperation in the local area.

But hatred is not so easy to eliminate. Even Qin, which has been occupied for nearly ten years, is still not stable now.

Among all the lands occupied by Wei, only small countries such as Chen, Zheng, Lu and Song were not so hostile to Wei.

Because for these small countries, after integrating into Wei, they no longer have to worry about bullying from powerful countries and gain a relatively stable living environment.

Another thing is that the people in these places can also join the Wei army and obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries through their own efforts, which has attracted a large number of poor families.

On the first day of the third month of the 13th year of the Marquis of Wei, it was the day when the grand dynasty meeting was held.

Today's grand dynasty meeting is different from the past, because there are more people in the court, and most of them are from the newly occupied land of Wei.

After the Wei army packed them up, the old nobles in Qin, Qi, Lu and Zheng had to board the big ship of Wei in order to continue to maintain the family's wealth.

Of course, the Wei State official attaches equal importance to talented people in poor families in these places, and these people can also be awarded official positions.

Therefore, this time the dynasty will appear very inclusive. In the past, people who were unable to appear in the temple were actually at the core of the world's power.

It was precisely through these series of methods that the Wei State convinced the people of Tang, Song, Lu and Zheng and other countries, and established a relatively stable rule in these places.

At the grand dynasty meeting, Wei Wuji was wearing a crown garment and raised his seat, and he looked particularly majestic with his long sword.

After sitting down, the ministers below all worshiped each other until they kowtowed to the ground.

"No gift!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

The ministers below stood up slowly, but they were still extremely restrained, fearing that there would be no etiquette.

This is a manifestation of Wei Wuji's power to the extreme. Now that the entire Wei Kingdom has regained its blood, it is the time when he has made great efforts again.

Therefore, today Wei Wuji will use this court meeting to announce a major event to his ministers.

But following the procedure, Wei Wuji still asked: "Today's court meeting, can you report anything?"

There was no arrangement for the press, so Prime Minister Zhang Yu stood up and said, "I respectfully listen to the instructions of the Lord!"

In recent years, the upper class of Wei State has been replaced quite a bit, the most notable thing is that Prime Minister Guo Liangdong retired and the former Censor took over.

Zhao Yu, who also had a great chance to take over as prime minister, was transferred to the position of censor.

In the military, the one who mobilized the greater was Xu Anhong's resignation, and Zheng Chang took over as the military magistrate's mansion. This man was also granted the position of General of the Zhu Kingdom by Wei Wuji as he wished.

Zheng Chang is now ranked as the chief lord and the general of the Zhu Kingdom. He is already the most important minister, so it is very suitable to retreat to the "second-line" yamen of the Junwei Mansion.

But don't forget that although Xu Anhong retreated, what he said was also very important, not to mention Gao Chengde who was still alive.

Back to the point, after Zhang Yu said there was nothing to report, Wei Wuji spoke: "I am fighting against the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were unofficial. I have been upset and sleeping at night, and have not been slacking off for more than ten years..."

"But the emperor was stupid and repeatedly listened to the thief's words and joined forces to fight against Wei, which really hurt my loyalty!"

Wei Wuji's words meant to blame the emperor, which shocked everyone. This was the rhythm of causing trouble again!

Wei Wuji continued: "At this grand dynasty meeting, I will tell you the pain in my heart..."

The ministers below also showed grief and anger at this time. They were also guilty of being humiliated and killed by the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Wuji continued: "So, I decided to go to Shangluo and ask the emperor in person who was rebellious in his heart!"

Now the emperor is turning to the alliance of princes, so Wei Wuji's words are actually a waste of time. Ji Xiao must have thought that he was rebellious.

Therefore, the actions of Shangluo’s crime that Wei Wuji mentioned were directly understood by the ministers as he wanted to lead his army to fight in person.

"The king is wise and wise... The emperor of Zhou is incompetent and unrighteous, and his virtue is not worthy of enjoying the nine provinces. Now our great Wei is in the sky. Can you not take the Zhou family and replace it?" Below, a minister shouted and worshiped.

If Wei Wuji's suing Shangluo was a rebellious act, then this minister's words would be even more rebellious, and this was persuading Wei Wuji to directly replace the Zhou emperor.

Although he really wanted to add the title of Emperor, Wei Wuji knew in his heart that the time had not come, and being self-reliant is just an addiction.

"Ji Xiao's virtue is just because of his person. Although the Zhou Dynasty has declined, his destiny has not changed, so it is too early to replace him!" Wei Wuji said slowly.

He did not directly deny the words of the underground ministers, but he did not say anything to death, but just said that the time had not come.

The minister below responded: "What the emperor said is very true. Ji Xiao himself has no virtue, so how can he replace Zhou Shi!"

If Ji Xiao and Zhou Shi separate, Ji Xiao, the emperor, would have been much less important, even if he was not in Wei Wuji's eyes.

Wei Wuji nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "Do you have any objections to my trip to Luo?"

Naturally, no one would object at this time. Everyone knows that the king’s trip was to provoke trouble. Only by provoking troubles can one fight a war, and everyone here can obtain military merits.

"I have no objection..." All the ministers said.

After talking about this main thing, the main task of this court meeting was completed.

After asking several ministers from Qin, Lu and Song dynasties some questions, Wei Wuji announced the end of the dynasty meeting.

But in the next two days, Wei Wuji's schedule was full. Not only did he have to approve the relevant memorials, but he also had to meet with ministers from all over the country who came to report his duties.

There are only a few people to choose to talk at the grand court meeting, which of course is not possible. He must all meet and talk with the ministers in the new station.

And in these few days, the news that the Marquis of Wei was about to blame the emperor was also exposed, and his chin was shocked.
