Chapter 199 Conspiracy
Late at night, Beilu Pass.
After a dinner, Wei Wenzhong followed Wei Shuo to the secret room.
Wei Wenzhong also came to Beilu Pass this time for the purpose of inspecting the defense of Beilu Pass.
He didn't know why his second brother sent someone to call him to Beiluguan.
"Tell me, what are you going to say to me? Why are you so mysterious?"
Wei Wenzhong frowned and looked at Wei Shuo, feeling very confused.
"Brother, please read this letter first and then talk!"
Wei Shuo said, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Wenzhong.
"Who gave this to you?"
Wei Wenzhong frowned and asked.
Wei Shuo chuckled: "This was handed over to me by the crown prince's confidant."
"what?"
Wei Wenzhong's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Are you willing to die?"
It has been a taboo for a general at the border to secretly communicate with the prince in the court!
If the Holy One finds out about this, he will lose his head if he doesn't pay attention!
"Brother, don't worry."
Wei Shuo didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Only you and I know about this, no third person will know!"
"Is there any wall in the world that is airtight?"
The anger on Wei Wenzhong's face continued, "Do you know who among you and me is a member of the Holy Sage? How dare you guarantee that this matter will not reach the Holy Sage's ears?"
Wei Wenzhong can become the general guarding Shuobei, so he is certainly not a fool.
He knew in his heart that no matter how loyal they were to Emperor Wen, and no matter how much Emperor Wen valued them, it was impossible for Emperor Wen not to be wary of these generals who held heavy troops.
If Emperor Wen didn't do this, he would not be Emperor Wen!
There are definitely spies planted by Emperor Wen around them!
If not, would Emperor Wen be assured of leaving the Beifu Army under his control?
"Brother is worrying too much."
Wei Shuo shook his head and smiled, "When I met that person, it was just me and him! I can guarantee that no one will know that I met that person!"
"Really?"
Wei Wenzhong's complexion improved slightly.
"You still can't trust me?"
Wei Shuo chuckled, "Don't worry, although my intelligence is not as good as my elder brother's, I'm not that stupid either! I've always been wary of the Holy Emperor."
"Best!"
Wei Wenzhong glared at him angrily before opening the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Wei Wenzhong's expression changed drastically again.
This letter was also very simple. It was nothing more than promising their brother many benefits and asking him to assist Prince Yun Li in taking Yun Zheng's life.
The letter also said that Yun Zheng was very cunning and definitely not a useless prince. Yun Zheng came to Shuobei this time just to raise his troops to rebel.
Wei Wenzhong stared at the letter several times and burned it immediately.
This kind of thing must not be kept!
If this letter falls into the hands of Emperor Wen, he will definitely die regardless of whether he has the intention to murder Yun Zheng or not!
Even if he handed this letter to Emperor Wen, it would still arouse Emperor Wen's suspicion!
Just the fact of secretly communicating with the prince is very fatal!
It wasn't until the letter was burned to ashes that Wei Wenzhong felt relieved.
"You are confused!"
Wei Wenzhong looked at Wei Shuo with a livid face and roared: "The biggest taboo for us border generals is to get involved in court disputes! I have warned you time and again not to get involved in court disputes. You take my words for granted. Did it fall on deaf ears?"
Throughout the ages, few border generals who were involved in court disputes died happily!
The emperor asked you to guard the border, so just guard the border!
No matter how troublesome the court is, that is the court's business!
"Brother calm down."
Wei Shuo patted Wei Wenzhong's hand, "The third prince is the prince now! He will inherit the throne in the future! Don't I also want to make our Wei family take a further step?"
"Go further?"
Wei Wenzhong snorted coldly and looked at his younger brother with a disappointed face, "Do you know what the heart of an emperor is?"
"Even if the third prince successfully ascends to the throne, do you think he will definitely use you?"
"You can communicate with him now. Will he not suspect that you are communicating with other princes or princes in the future?"
"If you make one wrong move, we will all be in dire straits!"
Wei Wenzhong was furious.
If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he might have been tempted to teach Wei Shuo a lesson.
I warned him so many times, but he still got involved in these bad things.
The heart of an emperor is not as simple as he thought!
Listening to Wei Wenzhong's words, the smile on Wei Shuo's face gradually disappeared.
The elder brother's words reminded him.
Yes!
He can communicate with the prince now. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, won't he be suspected of communicating with others?
For these border generals, once they make the emperor suspicious, at least they will gradually lose their military power, and at worst, the lives of the whole family will not be saved!
The more Wei Shuo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a look of panic gradually appeared on his face.
"Then what should we do now?"
Wei Shuo looked at his elder brother in confusion.
"What should I do? Tell me what to do?"
Wei Wenzhong was furious, "Now, if you help the prince get rid of Yun Zheng, he will be suspicious of you after he ascends the throne! If you don't help him get rid of Yun Zheng, you can guarantee that he will not hold a grudge. You can guarantee that he won't hold a grudge." After he ascends the throne, he will not settle accounts with you..."
This is a dead end!
No matter how you go, it's a dead end!
Unless you overthrow the prince!
But they are far away in Shuobei, how can they bring down the prince?
Moreover, he didn’t dare to think about such a thing!
If the prince is not overthrown, once the prince ascends the throne, the whole Wei family will be wiped out!
Ever since the bastard Wei Shuo secretly communicated with the prince, this was basically a dead end!
Listening to his elder brother analyzing the current situation, Wei Shuo's face became increasingly ugly.
After being silent for a long time, Wei Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "That's it anyway! Let's just fulfill the prince's wish! In this way, after the prince ascends the throne, if things go wrong, the worst we can do is return to the imperial city to retire like the veterans in the court! In this way, anyway It can also provide our descendants with a lifetime of prosperity and wealth!"
If they continue to be suspicious, they will not be suspected after they relinquish military power, right?
Moreover, by the time the prince ascends the throne, they will be almost old!
After a lifetime of fighting, it’s time to go back and retire!
"you……"
Wei Wenzhong looked at his brother with an angry face, trembling with anger.
As he watched, the anger on Wei Wenzhong's face began to dissipate inexplicably.
"Ugh……"
Wei Wenzhong let out a long sigh, "Haven't you ever thought about what we should do if Yun Zheng doesn't die? As long as he doesn't die, even if we helped the prince, the prince will think that we didn't help him!"
Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly and sigh.
madness!
He just discovered today that this brother is so stupid!
Fortunately, he is guarding the border!
If he were asked to fight those old foxes in the court, he might not even know how he died!
"Then let Yunzheng die!"
Wei Shuo's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Didn't the prince say that in the letter? As long as the people in Beihuan know that Yun Zheng has come to Shuobei, the people in Beihuan will try every possible means to take his life without us taking action!"
Wei Wenzhong looked at this stupid brother coldly, "If the Battle of Shuobei hasn't even started yet, and he, the King of Jingbei, has been assassinated by the Beihuan people, do you think the Holy One will not blame me?"
It is so easy to kill Yunzheng!
The question is, how can he escape unscathed?
"Then let him be found guilty of treason!"
Wei Shuo said with a frosty face.
"rebellion?"
Wei Wenzhong was so angry that he laughed, "Even if he really has the intention to rebel, the prince and his accomplices have not been able to prove his accusation of rebellion. How can we prove it? Saying that he is rebelling is the most stupid behavior!"
"why?"
Wei Shuo was puzzled.
Wei Wenzhong asked angrily: "He has been in the court for so long, not only was he not convicted of treason, but he was also granted the title of king as an exception! But as soon as he arrived in Shuobei, he was convicted of treason. Do you think the Holy Lord will how to think?"
"This……"
Wei Shuo suffocated slightly and said with a wry smile: "The Holy Lord will think that the eldest brother is framing him..."
"You're not too stupid!"
Wei Wenzhong raised his eyes slightly and sighed helplessly again.
After listening to his elder brother's words, Wei Shuo suddenly had a headache.
It should be a very simple thing, how could it become so complicated?
