Chapter 296 Wei Zhi’s Death
"Xilulu..."
Accompanied by the loud neighing of horses, a carriage slowly stopped outside the residence of Zongbo Wei Zhi.
Gently lifting the curtain of the carriage, Wei Feng, who was wearing casual clothes today, slowly walked out of the carriage.
Just standing there silently, staring at the mansion in front of him, Wei Feng suddenly had a complicated and inexplicable thought in his heart.
Just a few days ago, there was still a lot of traffic in front of the Zongbo mansion in front of me, and the people coming and going were either nobles or powerful people;
Looking at the scene in front of me now, the busyness of the past has completely disappeared, leaving only a deserted loneliness.
The situation in life is often like this. Sometimes the distance between heaven and hell is so far, and sometimes it is only a moment.
While Wei Feng was deep in thought, a figure wearing red armor led several soldiers to come to him.
"The last general, Zhai Liang, the general of Anyi, pays homage to your Majesty."
"General Zhai Liang, there is no need to be polite."
Returning a salute with his right hand, Wei Feng said to Zhai Liang in front of him with a kind face, "I wonder what the situation is like in the uncle's house now?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, in compliance with your Majesty's orders, the general's officers and men have now taken complete control of Zong Bo's Mansion."
Facing Wei Feng's question, Zhai Liang's answer was clean and neat, and the temperament of a veteran on the battlefield was fully reflected in his words.
"Now the people in the mansion are under strict supervision by the general, and all roads in the mansion are guarded by soldiers. But please rest assured, your Majesty, every move in the mansion is under the eyes of the general."
"very good."
After listening to Zhai Liang's answer, Wei Feng looked at him with deep appreciation on his face.
"General Zhai Liang is indeed a good general in our army. Every move he makes coincides with the essentials of the art of war."
After finishing speaking, Wei Feng turned his gaze back to the mansion in front of him again, and the expression in his eyes suddenly sank.
"Let's go with me to meet my uncle."
"Here."
This conversation outside the mansion was like a prelude, and the moment Wei Feng stepped into Uncle Zong's mansion, a big drama started.
Walking in the aisle of Zongbo's Mansion, his eyes glanced at a famous soldier beside him, and Wei Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of security in his heart.
As Zhai Liang said just now, Zongbo's Mansion at this moment has been controlled by the Wei army who are on full alert.
The journey was smooth, and Wei Feng led Zhai Liang and his party to their destination soon.
Everyone stopped subconsciously and looked at the closed study door in front of them. Wei Feng turned around and said something.
"Just don't go in."
"Follow orders."
The sound slowly dissipated in Wei Feng's ears, and it wasn't until a long time passed that he slowly stepped out with his right foot.
"Knock knock knock..."
Wei Feng's right hand gently knocked on the door, and there was a silence in the study, followed by an inaudible voice.
"Who?"
"I heard that my uncle is seriously ill, so I came here to visit my uncle today."
Wei Feng's answer sounded outside the door, and the study became quiet again.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the voice inside finally sounded again.
"come in."
After receiving the invitation from the owner of this place, Wei Feng slowly opened the door and entered the study room in front of him.
At this moment, the study room that used to be full of guests seemed a little empty, and only Wei Zhi stood in front of Wei Feng.
"My lord, Wei Zhi, pays homage to your Majesty."
Wei Feng followed the voice and slowly looked at the figure in front of him. Although he was at the end of his rope, he still abided by the norms of being a noble.
Even though he knew he might not have much time left, his clothes were still so neat and his movements were still so solemn.
He stared at Wei Zhi with deep meaning for a long time, but Wei Feng never said a word.
He withdrew his gaze and walked to the seat of the study to sit down.
It was only then that Wei Feng slowly said, "Uncle, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As Wei Zhi thanked him, his and Wei Feng's eyes met, and an inexplicable atmosphere gradually filled the air between them.
"Uncle, have you ever regretted it?"
"regret?"
Hearing these two words, Wei Zhi seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing, and the two words were written on his face.
ridiculous.
Yes, even now, even though his plot has completely failed, Wei Zhi still has no regrets.
With his eyes filled with solemnity, Wei Zhi looked condescendingly at Wei Feng sitting in front of him.
"Your Majesty, do you know that if I could do it again, I would still be like this time."
"Weakening the elite and strong army of Wei soldiers and forcefully implementing the military merit system, doesn't your Majesty feel that what you are doing is harming the Wei state?"
"Everything I, Wei Zhi, have done is not for myself, but for the foundation created by the ancestors of my Wei family."
…
Sitting firmly on the seat, Wei Feng still said nothing, quietly waiting for Wei Zhi to finish what he wanted to say.
There were no long speeches or quarrels. Wei Feng knew very well in his heart that Wei Zhi at this moment was not someone he could influence with his words.
If it were really that easy, the relationship between monarch and ministers, and the relationship between uncle and nephew would not be in the situation it is today.
After listening for another moment, until Wei Zhi's voice completely disappeared from his ears, Wei Feng stood up from his seat again.
Waiting until he was about to walk out of the door, Wei Feng asked softly.
"Uncle, is everything you do really for Wei?"
After saying this, Wei Feng no longer paid attention to Wei Zhi behind him, and his figure slowly disappeared into the room.
Wei Feng left, but his problems seemed to remain in Wei Zhi's heart forever.
Is what Wei Zhi did really for Wei? I'm afraid only he knows the answer to this question.
…
The night is getting darker.
Anyi, the capital of Wei State, which had been busy all day, gradually fell into a deep sleep in the thick night.
In this long night, in the main hall of Wei State's palace, there are still lights emitting their own light.
With the ink pen in his hand sketching on the bamboo slips in front of him, Wei Feng finally finished handling today's government affairs.
But before Wei Feng could relax for a moment, the sound of footsteps clearly reached his ears.
Slowly raising his head and looking at the figure that appeared in front of him, Wei Feng asked calmly.
"Why did you see me late at night?"
The figure in front of him listened to Wei Feng's question, bowed and told him something that had just happened.
"I report to you, Your Majesty, that my uncle Wei Zhi has died."
