Wei State, its capital is Anyi, and Zong Bo's residence.

In the hall, Wang Cuo, the superior minister, and Duan Qianjie, the inferior minister, who had come to see their uncle Wei Zhi, both had serious expressions on their faces. They were each sitting behind two desks.

In such a quiet night, these two ministers, who can be regarded as high-ranking ministers in the Wei Dynasty, must not have come in such a hurry for an ordinary matter.

Time passed by minute by second, and seeing that the person he was seeking to see was still not coming, a look of anxiety appeared on Duan Qianjie's originally calm face.

"Sir, do you think this uncle is not ready to meet with us?"

"Will not."

With the calm expression still on his face, Wang Cuo glanced lightly at Duan Qianjie opposite him.

"If Uncle Zong doesn't want to see us and the two of us tonight, he just sent the order to the waiter to refuse our entry."

"Now that he has invited the two of us to sit down in this hall, it proves that he is willing to see me."

"As for why he hasn't come yet..."

Before Wang Cuo finished speaking, along with the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, a somewhat guilty voice sounded in their ears at the same time.

"I'm late. It's really rude to keep our two distinguished guests waiting."

After these words fell, a somewhat old figure appeared in front of Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie.

This person is not the uncle of the Wei State, Wei Zhi, the uncle of the Marquis of Wei, but who is he?

Seeing that the owner of the place had appeared, Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie, who were sitting behind a few cases, looked at each other and quickly stood up from their seats.

But at the same time, a smile flashed across Wang Cuo's originally calm face, and the emotions contained in this smile were a bit complicated.

"Wang Cuo, I have met Uncle Zong."

"Duan Qianjie, I have met Uncle Zong."

"Hey, you two don't need to be polite." He strode to the two of them and helped them up as the masters. Wei Zhi's eyes fell on Wang Cuo, "Have you not congratulated your Majesty on your promotion to the imperial court?"

Since I have the position of Doctor Shi, I will need to take more care of you from Doctor Censor in the future."

"Uncle Zong's words are serious. I can only get this position because of your trust." After saying this, Wang Cuo's eyes directly met Wei Zhi's eyes, "But if Uncle Zong speaks in the future, then I will do it myself."

Be willing to help.”

"Hahaha……"

After a burst of hearty laughter, Wei Zhi's impression of Wang Cuo became much better, and the look he looked at him became more kind.

"The words of the imperial censor are enough."

Stretching out his right hand and giving a slight salute to the two desks below, Wei Zhi immediately shouted an invitation: "You two, please."

"Thank you, Uncle Zong."

After Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie thanked each other and sat back down at their seats, Wei Zhi, who had also sat down, started to ask questions.

"I wonder what the reason for the two of you visiting my mansion tonight is?"

"this……"

Facing Wei Zhi's question, Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie looked at each other below, and in the end it was Wang Cuo who had to answer.

A wave of hesitation appeared on his face for a moment, only to hear Wang Cuo ask in a deep voice: "I wonder what Uncle Zong thinks of the new Prime Minister Gongsun Qi?"

When the words Gongsunqi came out of Wang Cuo's mouth, the expression on Wei Zhi's face, which was still smiling kindly, immediately fell.

The other party's questioning words seemed to bring him back to today's daytime, and the scene where Gongsun Qi was left speechless played out over and over again in his mind.

When he thought of how ugly he had been in front of the ministers, Wei Zhi's face originally turned gloomy, but at this moment, there was a period of fierce light emerging.

Finally, when a raging anger kept burning in his heart, the anger accumulated in Wei Zhi's heart finally burst out.

"Gongsun Qi dares to contradict me like that in the court. He is so arrogant. If there is a chance, I will definitely let him taste my power."

"Don't think that it doesn't matter if he is the Prime Minister. I am still the brother of the late monarch Wuhou and the uncle of the current monarch."

A loud roar sounded in the hall, and Wei Zhi, who had slightly dissipated the anger in his chest, looked coldly at the two people below.

"You two came here today to plead for Gongsun Qi, right?"

"of course not."

As soon as Wei Zhi's question came out, Wang Cuo, who was below, immediately denied it, and then saw him bow slightly to his superior.

"Uncle Zong should know that I have a grudge against Gongsun Qi for a long time, and I also dislike him quite a lot."

"Back then, he assisted Gong Zhongxuan in fighting for the throne with the current emperor. Later, Gong Zhongxuan failed and committed suicide. Logically speaking, he could not escape death."

"If the current emperor had not intended to imitate the courtesy and virtuous corporal of Marquis Wen, how could a man like Gongsun Qi have survived, let alone take over the position of prime minister."

Wang Cuo's words obviously resonated with Wei Zhi's heart, and then he only heard him speak with a bit of coldness.

"snort."

"A traitor who has betrayed his master is lucky enough to survive, so what qualifications does he have to succeed us as the Prime Minister of Wei?"

"It was just a rough plan in a few battles, and he only made a few small achievements. Why did your Majesty give him the title of king?"

Originally talking about Gongsun Qi, Wei Zhi still had a face full of righteous indignation, but when the topic was directed to Wei Feng, who was the Marquis of Wei, his face showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"I also want to deal with this arrogant and ignorant Gongsun Qi, but he has your Majesty's heart at the moment. Even if I have the intention, I am powerless."

Listening to Wei Zhi's expression of helplessness at this moment, Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie looked at each other, and both of them saw an emotion called joy in each other's eyes.

As long as Wei Zhi is determined to deal with Gongsun Qi, then their visit to Zongbo Mansion today will not be in vain.

This time, it was Duan Qianjie who had been silent just now, who spoke first, "Uncle Zong, don't worry, in fact we may not be unable to deal with Gongsun Qi."

"oh!"

Duan Qianjie's words immediately ignited Wei Zhi's curiosity, and he immediately asked: "What do you mean?"

"Since Gongsun Qi became the Prime Minister because of your Majesty's trust, why don't we use some means to destroy your Majesty's trust in him?"

After the rhetorical question was thrown out, Duan Qianjie took the initiative to speak out what was on his mind before Wei Zhi could continue to ask.

"The comprehensive implementation of the county system was fully supported by Gongsun Qi."

"If we do something about it and let your Majesty see the disadvantages with his own eyes, he will naturally doubt Gongsun Qi's ability."

"Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout, until one day you will completely lose your trust in Gongsun Qi."

Regarding the strategy proposed by Duan Ganjie, Wei Zhi, after pondering for a moment, gently nodded his head in agreement.

"What you said is very reasonable." At this moment, another doubt appeared in his mind.

"Although the land of Wei is not as small as that of Chu, it is not too small. With our strength, it may be difficult to do it comprehensively. I wonder where you two are going to start?"
