Chapter 301 The King of Wei Comes to the Door (1)
After Qin Wu finished dealing with some other matters,
He then left the Imperial Study and returned to the Prince's Palace.
All the officials are now filled with anxiety, unsure of what will happen at tomorrow's morning court session.
The princes also received the news immediately.
Now they are all devising strategies in their own palaces, after all, while Qin Wu has been fighting on the frontier, they have been making quite a few moves in the capital.
They were also afraid that Qin Wu would seek revenge against them.
The reason they dared to act recklessly and do certain things before was because they thought the throne could only be chosen from among them.
Qin Wu had no chance of inheriting the throne.
But now that Qin Wu has returned and taken over as regent, their father has even announced a period of seclusion.
This made things a little unusual.
Who knows, the Emperor of Eastern Qin might pass the throne to Emperor Wu of Qin.
After all, the Eastern Qin of today is different from any other country in the past. The Eastern Qin is the first country to unify the continent.
It was a truly unified country, and whether the throne could only be inherited by someone below the Grandmaster level is unknown.
They also know some secrets that others don't: the Eastern Qin Emperor has already broken through to the Grandmaster realm, but no one knows exactly what his current cultivation level is.
Especially King Zhou, he is quite old now.
If their father doesn't abdicate, even if he successfully ascends the throne, he won't be emperor for long.
He has already begun making other preparations.
Over the years, as Dong Qin waged wars against foreign powers, he had also gained considerable military control.
If Qin Wu hadn't returned, he was already planning to force Qin Wu to abdicate.
But now that Qin Wu has returned, given Qin Wu's prestige in the army and the military power he holds, he has absolutely no chance of winning.
What he was most worried about was that he had already secretly mobilized troops to the capital.
If he is discovered, he will definitely not have a good ending.
Qin Wu returned to his residence not long ago.
Yu Shu then came to report.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Wei requests an audience."
"Let him in."
Qin Wu was curious when he heard that the King of Wei had come. What was his nephew doing here?
But there's no harm in meeting.
Soon the King of Wei was taken to the study.
"Nephew pays respects to Ninth Imperial Uncle."
Upon entering the study, the King of Wei immediately performed a kneeling bow, a gesture of respect from a junior to an elder.
Actually, the King of Wei and King Wu of Qin were not much different in age; they were practically the same age.
"Get up and sit down."
Qin Wu nodded to the King of Wei.
His nephew has been quite well-behaved over the years, and Qin Wu didn't want to make things difficult for him.
"Thank you, Ninth Imperial Uncle."
King Wei rose and stood respectfully.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Qin Wu said calmly.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, I have just returned. I heard that you have returned to the capital, so I came to visit you."
The King of Wei said respectfully.
He has been traveling around for years and rarely stays in the capital.
He knew very well that it would be difficult for him to survive in the capital, as he was no match for his imperial uncles in any aspect.
If they were forced to stay in the capital, their ultimate fate would likely be death.
He was not far from the capital this time, and when he heard that Qin Wu was coming, he rushed back. He originally planned to visit Qin Wu again tomorrow.
However, as soon as he arrived in the capital, he heard that his grandfather, the Emperor, was in seclusion and that his Ninth Uncle was acting as regent, so he rushed over immediately.
This way, he could leave a good impression on his Ninth Imperial Uncle.
"Please sit down. I've heard that you've been traveling around the country on behalf of your imperial grandfather all these years."
"Are you planning to continue like this?"
Qin Wu nodded; he knew what the King of Wei was thinking.
However, this is nothing to worry about. Everyone has their own little thoughts, so there's no need to delve into them too much.
As long as the King of Wei does not do anything detrimental to Eastern Qin, it will be fine.
Furthermore, he had someone investigate and found that the King of Wei was quite capable, and he was also considering keeping him in the capital.
It's better for some important positions to be held by the royal family.
As for Prince Zhou and his companions, he planned to send them away from the capital in the future. Those people were not suited to stay in the capital, otherwise they would cause him trouble sooner or later.
Of course, even if Qin Wu sends them out of the capital, he will not give them real power; he will only let them be carefree kings for life.
If they are still not satisfied in the future, he would not mind sending them on their way.
"Now that my grandfather is in seclusion, I don't know what to do next."
The King of Wei spoke cautiously.
He really didn't know what to do next, after all, the one in power and acting as regent was his own Ninth Imperial Uncle.
His future plans will depend on his imperial uncle.
He was also very clear that he had no chance of ascending the throne in the future.
That's why he's always been honest and doesn't do anything outrageous. And that's why he has a pretty good reputation throughout Eastern Qin.
“Now that you’re back, stop running around. You’re not young anymore; it’s time to do something productive.”
"Also, I heard that your queen has passed away. You should hurry up and choose a new queen."
Qin Wu was very satisfied with the King of Wei's answer.
"Yes, I will follow your arrangements, Imperial Uncle."
“Uncle, I am not young anymore and do not have many years left to live. If I were to find a princess now, wouldn’t that be a waste of time for others? So let’s just forget about the princess.”
The King of Wei said helplessly.
Normally speaking, he is indeed quite old; most people would be considered to be in their later years at this age.
Because of his martial arts training, he still looks like he's only in his thirties.
"You have already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm. The clan has sent you many treasures, which can help you break through to the Great Grandmaster realm at any time."
"It wouldn't be difficult for you to break through to the Land Immortal Realm. After the breakthrough, your lifespan will be extended."
"As long as you act recklessly, how can you say that you are delaying others?"
Qin Wu had already discovered the King of Wei's cultivation level when the King of Wei entered.
Although he is only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, it will not be difficult for him to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm.
Moreover, if Eastern Qin were to follow his plan in the future, the royal family would need to have a sufficient population.
Just like the four ancient clans, only a large population can cultivate enough strong people to ensure that the Eastern Qin will stand forever.
Moreover, he's back this time and is planning to have a child with his woman.
However, he can't possibly have children entirely on his own!
Therefore, he wanted to have more children born among the royal family members who he approved of, or at least were somewhat satisfied with.
King Wei was somewhat stunned upon hearing Qin Wu's words.
The tribe sent a large amount of resources?
He knew something about the Qin clan and knew that the Qin clan was a very powerful family.
However, he was still unclear about the specifics, and the Emperor of Eastern Qin had not told them either.
Now that Qin Wu said this, he became very curious.
Just how powerful is the Qin clan that they can make someone easily break through to the Grandmaster level, and even help them break through to the level of a Land Immortal?
What kind of family is this?
"I will have your Ninth Imperial Aunt keep an eye on your princess's affairs and make arrangements for you if anything comes up."
Qin Wu continued hastily.
"Yes, nephew will have to trouble you, Uncle and Aunt."
The King of Wei thanked him.
