Wei Zeng, the Crown Prince of Wei, who was originally smiling, suddenly heard Kuang Ben's words. He was almost stunned and his mind went blank.
A surprised smile froze on his face.
"how so?"
"My father has passed away?! When did this happen?"
"Why is it that Lord Xinling ascended the throne as the new King of Wei and not this prince?!"
The teacup in his hand suddenly fell down.
The sound of the collision woke up Prince Wei Zeng, whose mind was blank.
He looked at Kuang Ben, ignoring the royal etiquette of the King of Wei, and asked anxiously.
"Mr. Kuang, what happened?"
"Can you tell Yu Zeng?"
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Please tell me in detail." Kuang Ben coughed lightly, and then followed Wen Xinhou's plan to seduce Prince Wei Zeng with his words.
"It turns out that King Wei Anli is still alive and well."
"But before that, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, had been squeezed and suppressed by King Wei Anli many times, and was even imprisoned in Xinling in disguise."
"His Royal Highness must have heard about this matter."
Prince Wei Zeng nodded slightly to express his approval.
He looked at Kuang Ben without blinking.
Seeing this, Kuang Ben continued to confuse with half-truths and half-false words, saying: "Because of this, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji has a grudge against the father of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's like stealing the talisman to save Zhao again."
"I don't know what method Lord Xinling used to incite the beauty next to King Wei Anli again to attack King Wei Anli."
"This time, it's no longer about stealing the tiger talisman, but... killing people!"
"You mean... Lord Xinling instructed my father's bedfellow to assassinate my father? And then... sought power to usurp the throne?!" Upon hearing this, Prince Zeng's expression changed slightly.
Because this possibility is not impossible for Lord Xinling.
In the original incident of stealing the talisman to save Zhao, Lord Xinling used this method to steal the tiger talisman from his father.
Then he killed the general Jin Bi and took control of the army.
Although the woman who was responsible for stealing the Tiger Talisman was ordered by her father to be tortured to death with extremely cruel methods.
But the Tiger Talisman was finally succeeded by Lord Xinling.
Now, if we try this again, the chance of success will definitely not be small.
When he saw the prince Wei Zeng, he was already in a state of confusion.
The corners of Kuang Ben's mouth raised slightly, revealing an inexplicable smile. His cold and faint tone was contained in his bewitching words.
"Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, designed to assassinate Your Highness the Crown Prince, your father."
"He then sought power to usurp the throne, and even ignored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's father's filial piety period and hurriedly ascended the throne, lest things change."
"That's why."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's return to the Kingdom of Wei may not be smooth sailing along the way."
Hearing Kuang Ben’s words.
The prince Wei Zeng, who was already in a state of confusion, could not help but show a look of horror on his face, and his eyes were full of fear and panic.
"This Wei Wuji who killed his brother and usurped the throne... actually wants to kill me?!"
"He wants to eliminate the root cause and avoid future troubles!"
"Your Highness, please don't panic." Kuang Ben comforted him by saying, "After learning of this secret news, Lu Xiangbang has already taken the initiative to propose to Your Majesty that he escort His Highness the Crown Prince back to the Kingdom of Wei."
"And will send people to help His Highness the Crown Prince to regain the rights and status he deserves."
"after all……!"
"If there was no King Xinling, he would be the current King of Wei." Kuang Ben deliberately emphasized the words "King Xinling of Wei" and said with a calm smile: "His Royal Highness, he must be the legitimate next King of Wei. "
"That position should originally belong to you."
"You just get your things back..."
These half-truths and half-false words came out.
The prince of Wei, Wei Zeng, who was imprisoned as a hostage, could no longer sit still, and his emotions were agitated and chaotic.
He wants to avenge his father!
However, in my heart, I want to sit in that supreme position and become the new King of Wei. I want to enjoy everything that only the King of Wei can enjoy.
And now...!
The new king of Wei Xinling, Wei Wuji, became a roadblock.
"That position should belong to me, Wei Zeng, no one can take it away!" Unknowingly, the expression on the face of the prince Wei Zeng became distorted and ferocious.
A pair of eyes as fierce as a bloodthirsty jackal.
"I, Wei Zeng, am the crown prince of Wei!"
"The position of King Wei should have been mine...!"
See this situation.
The corners of Kuang Ben's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled secretly: "This step of the plan is done!"
"The next plan is to successfully escort Crown Prince Wei Zeng back to Daliang City of Wei State. At that time, Wei Zeng will naturally start a power struggle with Wei Wuji."
"Of the two of them, only one can survive in the end."
On the surface.
Kuang Ben showed an expression of empathy and grief, and expressed sympathy for the plight of Prince Wei Zeng.
"Please express your condolences to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"We were too late for your father's sudden death."
"But please cheer up, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and don't let the traitorous usurper who killed his brother and seeks power remain at large and high on the throne."
"The position of King Wei can only belong to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Lu Xiangbang and His Majesty the King of Qin are willing to support His Highness the Crown Prince to become the new King of Wei."
When Prince Wei Zeng heard these words, he took a few deep breaths and forcibly controlled the violent emotional fluctuations in his heart.
To be able to become the crown prince, he is certainly not stupid.
He understood in his heart what the Prime Minister Lu Buwei and the King of Qin Zhao Zheng had planned.
But the reality left him no choice. If he wanted to live well in the future, he could only obey the orders of Lu Buwei and Zhao Zheng.
He returned to Wei safely and fought for power with Wei Wuji, the king of Wei Xinling.
This is his only way to survive.
Wei Zeng looked at the man across the wooden table, raised his hands and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, Mr. Kuang, for informing me about this matter, and thank you Lu Xiangbang and King Qin for their support."
"The news has been conveyed, I will take my leave first."
Kuang Ben stood up and returned the greeting with his hands in hand.
Then he turned around and left the inn.
The prince Wei Zeng was left alone inside, with a gloomy expression and unclear eyes.
…
…
It didn't take long.
The team and documents to escort Crown Prince Wei Zeng back to Wei State are all ready.
Before leaving, get on the carriage.
Wei Zeng turned his head and glanced at Xianyang Palace. It was still majestic and majestic, with a visual impact that suppressed the world.
"Farewell, Xianyang City!"
He lifted the car curtain and entered decisively.
He resolutely embarked on the road of returning to Wei State where his life and death were uncertain.
"This way home may be a dead end for me, a dead end."
"But...I have no choice!"
Inside the carriage, Prince Wei Zeng clenched his hands tightly into fists.
His face was gloomy and determined.
Regardless of whether Kuang Ben's words are somewhat true or false, it is an indisputable fact that Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, ascended the throne.
