The thirty-ninth year of the Marquis of Wei, winter.

At the age of 61, Wei Wuji is already old. No matter how wise and powerful he is, he cannot withstand the erosion of time.

But compared to his old opponents, Wei Wuji's one is the one who is stubborn.

In the eighteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, Qi, which had been surviving for many years, was occupied by the Wei army. Tian Yuwen committed suicide and died for his country.

In the 26th year of the Marquis of Wei, the Wei army captured the Yongcheng of Qin, and the Qin State was declared destroyed. The king Yingji hanged himself and died.

In the 35th year of the Marquis of Wei, Sun Yueyang died of illness in Gusu. At this time, the State of Wu had been occupied by the Wei army, and Sun Yueyang died of fear.

Through decades of hard work, the Wei State has now occupied most of the land in Jiuzhou, and only the Chu State has remained in the world.

But the State of Chu was not because of its strength, but because the State of Chu is now at the southernmost tip of Jiuzhou, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and various natural dangers are blocking the advance of the Wei army.

But after years of war, the Wei army has now figured out the local situation and only needs a breakthrough to put out the spark of Chu at any time.

But this is impossible to hurry, so the main energy of Wei State has been focused on the governance of the country over the years.

The Wei State conquered various parts of Jiuzhou by force. During this period, it was unknown how much hatred and conflicts had accumulated. It is easy to imagine how difficult it was to establish a harmonious rule.

The only way to achieve quick results is to dispatch heavy troops in various places to suppress those who are dissatisfied.

But even so, during the decades of Wei rule, rebellions broke out in various places, and some even spread to two counties and three counties.

The rule of the country is not smooth. For Wei Wuji, who redeveloped Jiuzhou, the internal ruling group is also an object of attack.

The military merit system made the Wei State rapidly powerful, but it also made many prominent generals with outstanding titles, such as Wang Xiu, Liu Xuanba, Chen Zhan...

Wei Wuji could certainly suppress everything when he was there, but when Wei Wuji entered old age, he had to consider it for his descendants.

Therefore, under his intentional suppression, most of the old brothers who had followed him to make achievements were withdrawn from the core of power because of "making mistakes".

But Wei Wuji did not do anything at all and still retained wealth for these people, which was what they deserved.

As for the heir, Wei Wuji also experienced the helplessness of his father. His palms and backs were fleshy, and there were always two excellent ones that made him difficult to choose.

These two outstanding sons are Wei Tianze, who was born by Cao Xin, and the other is Wei Tianyun, who was born by Ji Wanyue.

But in the end, Wei Wuji chose to make Wei Tianyun the crown prince.

There are two points that the heirs on both sides of Wei Wuji considered:

First, because Cao Xin was born into a noble family, Wei Tianze relied too much on court officials. Most of these people hoped that after the country was unified, they would be enfeoffed again like the Zhou Dynasty.

This is unacceptable to Wei Wuji. His lifelong efforts were not to waste his efforts.

The second reason is that Wei Wuji's personal emotions are caused by his personal emotions. He has been rational all his life, but his love for Ji Wanyue is deep and shallow, which will even affect his judgment.

This made Wei Wuji think of his father. His father loved his mother deeply, but in the end he turned against him.

When Wei Tianyun was made the crown prince five years ago, Cao Xin no longer met Wei Wuji in grief and anger.

Wei Tianze himself rejected all his father's kind arrangements and took his followers out of the Lingbei Great Wall without a trace.

But Wei Wuji still remembered the deep tone of the eldest son when he left.

"Father, my son will either die in a foreign land or make a comeback... My son will let you know that I should be the heir to this country..."

Hunched over, Wei Wuji slowly walked on the palace road accompanied by several eunuchs.

When you get older, you are prone to falling into memories, and even time travelers like Wei Wuji cannot be avoided.

Speaking of time travelers, after living in this era for more than fifty years, Wei Wuji even doubted his identity as a time traveler.

When was the real period? Wei Wuji no longer dared to make a decision.

For Wei Wuji, he continued to fight in the past few decades and obtained more land, money, food, and power...

But in recent years, he has been losing, losing friendship with his brothers, losing family affection, and losing the person he loves.

Cao Xin died of depression two years ago, and Ji Wanyue passed away with illness last year. Wei Wuji became a real lonely person.

Thinking of this, tears were already flowing from Wei Wuji's eyes.

A man is as determined as iron as a man, but when he is old, Wei Wuji is still defeated by loneliness.

But fortunately, he is now suffering from serious illness and may return to the west in the next moment, so he can't appreciate this extreme loneliness for long.

"Your Majesty, as cold as today, you have to take care of yourself!" A young eunuch next to him said slowly.

Now, not only the court officials and generals have been replaced by Wei Wuji, but also the people who serve him have changed countless times.

"Go...the worship hall!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

Although he was old, his majesty was not reduced at all, and no one dared to disobey his will. So soon four eunuchs carried their chariots and helped Wei Wuji up.

The worship palace is on the other side of the palace city. It is unrealistic for Wei Wuji to walk over such a long way.

Wei Wuji sniffed on the chariot for a while, and was awakened by the eunuchs in a low voice. It turned out that the worship hall had arrived.

With the support of the eunuch, Wei Wuji walked down the chariot tremblingly, then waved the eunuch away and walked towards the worship hall.

When he entered the hall, the eunuch standing inside was also repelled by Wei Wuji. He slowly stepped to find his father's throne, and then sat down on the mat in front of the incense table.

At this time, the military and horse power schemes for decades appeared in front of Wei Wuji's eyes, making him wonder where to start for a while.

Among the lonely people, Wei Wuji couldn't find someone to speak, so he could only talk a few words in front of his father's position.

Wei Wuji rarely came to the temple because he was afraid of death and was afraid that he would become the throne worshipped here like his ancestors.

But now he was thinking about it because Wei Wuji knew that his deadline had come and could not escape.

Just as Wei Wuji counted his own gains and losses in his governance, a report came from outside the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, the prince is asking for a meeting!"

In the past two years, Wei Wuji has no longer been in charge of affairs, and the government and military affairs have gradually moved to Wei Tianyun's hands, and by this time the handover affairs have almost been completed.

Thinking that he had not had enough time, Wei Wuji said, "Let him come in!"

After a while, Wei Tianyun, who was over thirty years old, stepped into the hall and knelt behind Wei Wuji and said, "Son, pay homage to my father!"

Although Wei Tianyun is now taking over the power of Wei, Wei Wuji can still knock him down from the altar if he changes his mind at this time, so Wei Tianyun dare not be disrespectful to his father at all.

In fact, Wei Tianyun himself admired his father very much, so he would not have any usurpation.

"I heard that you... are preparing to use troops against Chu next year?" Wei Wuji asked, and he knew a lot of things.

Wei Tianyun replied calmly: "My son has begun to allocate troops, and I also ask my father to instruct..."

In fact, Wei Tianyun also wants to hear his father's opinions, and he is not so sure of doing it alone.

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "I have no advice for my father, I just hope you can win..."

Wei Tianyun was puzzled. He had never seen his father like this before, as if everything had lost meaning to him.

Wei Tianyun bowed again: "My son is frightened..."

Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "You have to walk the road ahead by yourself!"

Hearing this, Wei Tianyun's heart couldn't help but tremble. He had this feeling when his mother passed away.

"Father……"

Wei Tianyun was about to say something, but Wei Wuji stopped him and said, "Remember, you must hold power in your palms, no one must covet it!"

Wei Tianyun nodded and said, "Son obeys the order!"

Wei Wuji turned around and focused his eyes on the gods ahead again, and he had nothing to say to this country and his heirs.

…………

On December 23, 2019, Wei Wuji died of illness in Yongming Palace and was unable to survive until the new year.

When the news of Wei Wuji's death came out, it was like the collapse of the sky and the earth for the people of Jiuzhou. They could not imagine that this monarch, who was like a god, would die like an ordinary person.

But Wei Wuji finally left, and another era has begun for the succession of the new monarch of Wei State.

In the first year of Wei Tianyun's succession, he appointed Wei Wuji as the posthumous title of Wu to confirm his father's great military achievements during the reunification of the Jiuzhou.

Even if Wei Tianyun destroyed Chu and unified Jiuzhou in the future, he knew that his martial arts skills were far inferior to his father, so Wei Wuji took the initiative to be the name Wu.

…………

In the fifth year of the Marquis of Wei, Wei Tianyun destroyed Chu and the nine provinces were unified.

In the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei, Wei Tianyun moved the capital to Shangluo, established the Wei Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the reign of Changping.

In the same year, Wei Tianyun, as the emperor's emperor, posthumously conferred Wei Wuji as Emperor Wu of Wei. At the same time, he issued an edict, and in the future, all historical documents and documents were called Wu Hou as Emperor Wu.

The turbulent times of Jiuzhou have gone through two hundred years of turbulent times, and it has become unified.
