Chapter 144 Wang Dafu is imprisoned(1/2)

“No, no…”

The eunuch was sent to the imperial eunuch and shook his head hesitantly, obviously knowing that he was telling a lie.

"What happened? Please tell me clearly."

Wei Wuji took out a purse from his arms, stuffed it into his hand, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, please tell me the truth!"

After all, he was out of the war and was not very familiar with the affairs inside the court.

And if you are not in the front, the control of things is unstable.

A simple bribe must be obtained in order to find out the truthful news from the eunuch who was sent to the eunuch!

If something happens in the court, it will inevitably be detrimental to him to fight outside.

"Mr. Concubine, this is not your business. The eldest princess repeatedly told her that the prince. The matter in the court should not affect the war on the front line. Therefore... the prince. Concubine still doesn't know."

While speaking, the eunuch sent the order to push the wallet back to Wei Wuji, without any plans to take it.

"oops..."

Wei Wuji was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. He grabbed the father-in-law's hand and went straight into the inner room. "Dadlock, you have already said half of your words. Can you finish your words in one breath? You... make me even more anxious!"

"well..."

The eunuch passed the order to understand Wei Wuji's mood at this time, and even more, he knew that Wei Wuji would not stop asking questions.

If he didn't tell Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji might have returned to the court to inquire.

This will further affect border wars.

So, after hesitating and thinking, he said, "The prince-consort doesn't know anything. A few days ago, Li Xiang found out that General Wang Dafu colluded with the royal family of Zhao, intending to cooperate inside and outside to annex Chu with Sun Jin."

"The emperor was furious and took Wang Dafu's military power and put him in prison."

"But afterwards, the eldest princess pleaded for her. The emperor realized that the evidence given by Li Xiang was not sufficient, so he regretted putting Wang Dafu in prison."

"This is also the reason why the emperor did not take back Wang Lang's military power."

"Now, this matter is a bit stalemate. The emperor refused to release General Wang because of his face. However, Li Xiang kept finding new evidence to prove Wang Dafu's crime."

"In fact, the emperor understands that all the evidence is indirect and cannot prove that Wang Dafu colludes with Zhao."

"The emperor just doesn't want to admit that he wrongly accused General Wang before, and he is even more afraid that General Wang will hold a grudge against the royal family because of this, and he will really cooperate with Zhao State."

"And...the emperor's suspicion has become quite serious since the last rebellion."

"Maybe... after he hesitates for a while, he will also take back General Wang Lang's military power!"

When Wei Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "How could such a thing happen? The emperor is really confused!"

"Mr. Concubine, please be careful." The father-in-law sent an order to remind him in surprise.

"Don't panic, father-in-law, there are no outsiders here." Wei Wuji looked at him and said intently: "If I remember correctly, your name should be... Chu Sheng? Yes?"

"The prince consort has a good memory, and it is Chu Sheng." The eunuch who passed the imperial eunuch nodded in surprise.

Of course Wei Wuji remembers it.

Chu Sheng was a eunuch who wrote the imperial edict for Emperor Chu.

Moreover, there have been rumors in the palace that Chu Sheng was the illegitimate son of the late emperor, who is the uncle of the current Chu Emperor.

When he was gambling in the folk, he lost money, so he went to the palace to hide his debts and then became a eunuch.

When checking his identity, he found that he was the son of the late emperor, but how could a eunuch become the emperor's uncle?

So, slowly, he became the eunuch leader and the person he trusted the most.

The status is higher than that of the personal eunuch, Eunuch Wang!

Wei Wuji could fully trust him, and Chu Sheng was definitely good for Chu State.

"Please go back and report to the emperor for me. It's not scary to make mistakes. Isn't it enough to change them? Isn't there such a saying that it's great to know the mistakes to improve." Wei Wuji said seriously.

"Mr. Concubine, don't you understand?"

Chu Sheng was stunned and sighed, "If the emperor admits that he is wrong and releases Wang Dafu, should he pay back his military power?"

"The emperor is worried that he has wronged Wang Dafu. When Wang Dafu regained military power, it will pose a threat to the royal family!"

"So that's how it is..." Wei Wuji didn't expect this level.

But he was sure that before Wang Dafu, he was absolutely loyal to the State of Chu!

After thinking about it, Wei Wuji had a sudden inspiration and raised his eyebrows and said, "Dadfather-in-law, I have a suggestion that can solve the emperor's dilemma!"

"Oh? What's the suggestion?"

Wei Wuji turned to the desk, started writing a letter, and then handed it to his father-in-law, reminding him, "Take this letter back and present it to the emperor, and the emperor will understand after reading it."

"But... I'm a little afraid of being sure whether the emperor will adopt my suggestion. I hope my father-in-law can inform you in time."

"good."

While nodding, Chu Sheng put away the letter and bowed and said, "Then I'm going to say goodbye."

"Send my father-in-law to my father-in-law for me." Wei Wuji ordered the guards outside the door.

Send Chu Sheng away.

Wei Wuji sat in the room, rubbed his eyebrows, and thought about it carefully for a long time.

With his understanding of Emperor Chu, he might not let Wang Dafu go easily.

Because now, he already felt that Wang Dafu was a huge threat. When Zhao State and Beiqing State jointly invaded, once Wang Dafu was unfaithful to Chu State, then Chu State would be over!

Emperor Chu would never take this risk.

"Master, what happened?" Li Bai came in.

Wei Wuji did not hide it from him and told him what had just happened.

Li Bai was surprised and said, "The emperor will not let General Wang go."

"You feel that way?"

"Um."

Wei Wuji said: "I have written a letter to ask my father-in-law to pass it to the emperor."

"I offer advice in the letter, suggesting that the emperor release Wang Dafu, but not give him military power."

"In order to eliminate Wang Dafu's dissatisfaction, Wang Dafu can be rewarded with gold, silver, silk and silk, and promoted to two levels of official position."

"It's just that I'm worried... the emperor won't accept it."

Li Bai bowed and said, "Lord, I am willing to go to Luoyang, Yingdu to find out the situation."

"Okay, go. If you have any news, please send it back in time."

Wei Wuji was about to send Li Bai, but unexpectedly, Li Bai spoke first.

"yes."

Li Bai returned to the palace alone.

With his skills, as long as he acts carefully, he will not alarm anyone.

.............

In the next few days, Wei Wuji paid attention to Sun Jin in the east while waiting for Li Bai to come back.

This day.

Chu Sheng sent someone to send the message.

After reading the letter, Emperor Chu did not accept it.

In his reply, Chu Sheng said that after reading the letter, Emperor Chu was indeed moved.

If it were normal, he would adopt it.

But now, with foreign enemies invading, Emperor Chu will not take risks.

"It's true that it's the same as I thought."

Wei Wuji put away Chu Sheng's reply and sent someone to find Xiang Yu, Gao Shun, Wang Ping and Wang Lang.

Wei Wuji said: "The palace has not been peaceful recently. General Wang Dafu... was dismissed from military power by the emperor and was imprisoned. Do you know about this matter, General Wang Lang?"

"I already know..." Wang Lang looked worried and anxious.

He bowed and said, "Brother Wei, can you save your father? He must have been wronged."

Wei Wuji said: "I asked you to come here just to solve this problem."

"Now, the Zhao Qing coalition is still stationed on the border and threatens us all the time. But we are fighting in the middle."

"General Wang Dafu has a very high prestige in the army. Once he is imprisoned, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable."

"What's more, our Chu State cannot find someone to replace General Wang. If we hand over military power to a mediocre person, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

"So, I'm going to take you back to the palace and explain to the emperor. I'll ask General Wang Dafu to release him."
