Chapter 59: Internal Turmoil in Wei
The truth about the death list was soon revealed throughout the Wei State. It was obvious that there was a force pushing the situation forward, and more true and false discussions quickly spread.

Wei Yong's extreme way of seizing power was to take the opportunity to eliminate the forces of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, who deliberately allowed the death of General Zhu Hai of Wei to promote the coalition, making the people of Wei hate Qin's choice.

As speculations and facts formed a closed loop and spread, the entire Wei State began to become turbulent.

"Ying Zifei, you are so cruel!"

In the mansion, Wei Wuji cursed with gritted teeth. All the information coming in proved that the turmoil in Wei State was getting worse, because it was not only Ying Zifei who fanned the flames.

At this moment, it is impossible to kill Wei Yong. Killing Wei Yong will tell the world that all the current speculations are true.

But if Wei Yong is not killed, with such a flaw left, Wei Yong will only be found as a handle by those who want to bring him down.

If Wei Yong wants to stay alive, he must do everything he can to suppress those who want to plot against him, the more ruthless the means, the better.

In this way, court struggles are inevitable.

The struggles in the court will only deplete the foundation of Wei. No country has ever been able to improve its national strength amid internal turmoil.

It can be said that now, with just a slight push from Ying Zifei, Wei Yong, the king, and Wei Wuji, there is little room for maneuver.

He rubbed his forehead with his hand and was thinking about how to break the impasse when his trusted retainer walked in with hurried steps.

After the greeting, the man reported: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The White Jade Horse has been taken to the Prince's residence in Daliang City."

"What did you say?" Wei Wuji stood up and said in disbelief, "Another plot by Ying Zifei?"

The retainer shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the white jade horse that Ying Zifei sent back to you is real."

"Your Majesty sent someone to crush the white jade horse and bury it in front of the tomb of Fu Yun and the other man, but something went wrong. The person who carried out the mission was a spy planted by the Crown Prince on Your Majesty."

"An informant from the Crown Prince's residence sent urgent intelligence the other day, saying that the Crown Prince is going to use a very deadly weapon to force the King to abdicate."

"When the informant saw the white jade horse, he knew something was wrong on our side."

Wei Wuji almost vomited blood. If it was Ying Zifei's plan, he would not have done so. But now there was a problem within himself, how embarrassing it was for him.

"The Crown Prince has gone mad, trying to force my father to abdicate. If he reveals the truth about my poisoning, the State of Wei will be in turmoil."

The roaring Wei Wuji felt that even breathing was difficult. The retainer smiled bitterly and replied: "Your Majesty, there are several princes who are aggressively trying to compete for the throne below the crown prince."

"If there is a chance to accomplish something in one fell swoop, the prince will do it."

Wei Wuji's mouth was trembling. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to defend the prince.

He has seen the prince's situation over the years.

"Send a secret message to the king immediately and inform him of this matter." Wei Wuji no longer cared about anything else. Once the prince took action, if he succeeded, it would be fine. If he failed, the struggle for the throne in Wei would soon reach a climax.

The retainer did not agree. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, if the prince succeeds, Your Majesty can come out to help with the final work. It is still feasible to solve some problems at one stroke."

"Are you crazy?" Wei Wuji's eyes widened and he said angrily, "You know the danger of this kind of thing. If there is even a slight mistake, the country will be in turmoil."

"The great king is afraid of me, so shouldn't the new king be afraid of me too?"

"If he wasn't afraid of me, why would he have planted such a chess piece next to me?"

"Send the message immediately. Wei cannot afford to be in turmoil any longer. Once Qin sees an opportunity, it will adjust its strategy."

The retainer said nothing more and turned away. Wei Wuji leaned on the desk and sat down cross-legged. "Oh my God, please don't let the poisoning know. Otherwise, I will not close my eyes even if I die."

Wei Wuji closed his eyes and prayed, trying to sort out the clues of various things. He could not let this turbulent trend continue. Once this trend came, all forces in Wei State would only become more crazy.

……

In a small town on the border of Wei and Zhao, in an inn, Ying Zifei, who had eaten and drunk his fill, returned to his room. When Xu Gou reported to him about the current turmoil in Wei, Ying Zifei was stunned.

He pushed for this third round simply to push the Wei court into a vortex of power struggle, but who knew that so many people would jump out.

"Sir, do you want to give the Crown Prince of Wei a push?" The dog's eyes sparkled, and he was eager to try.

"No," Ying Zifei shook his head and chuckled, "The title of the Crown Prince of Wei occupies a great righteousness. If he and the King of Wei fight to the death, whoever wins will be able to end the subsequent things easily."

"You must immediately send a message to Wu Ma to steal the white jade horse and give it to the third prince of Wei."

"That guy's power is no weaker than that of the Crown Prince of Wei. The White Jade Horse falling into his hands is much better than falling into the hands of the Crown Prince of Wei."

"promise"

The Dog agreed and left, and immediately sent someone with a swift eagle to deliver the message.

In the room, Ying Zifei thought about it for a moment and decided not to think about it any more. If he wanted to continue stirring up the situation in the State of Wei, it would require too much manpower and energy.

Especially once the various forces in the Wei State realize that there are too many external forces interfering, they will definitely suppress the external forces first.

In this case, let the Wei State fight among itself, and when the opportunity arises, throw in pieces of "delicious meat".

"Wei Wuji, oh Wei Wuji, I wanted to give you a decent look, but you actually made a mistake yourself."

"Then don't blame me. The turmoil in Wei is beneficial to our Qin State. As the ruler of the Black Ice Platform, I would be unqualified if I don't give it a push."

Muttering to himself, feeling that he seemed a little hypocritical, Ying Zifei laughed, left the house, and went to find someone to drink with.

……

There was already an undercurrent in Daliang City. The King of Wei, who had received an urgent message from Wei Wuji, focused his attention on the crown prince.

The Crown Prince of Wei was also making rapid deployments. If possible, he hoped that his father's departure would be quieter, which would be more conducive to his taking over the government.

While the father and son were making secret adjustments, they were assisted by a spy from the Black Ice Platform lurking in the Prince Wei's mansion. Although the Prince Wei had placed the white jade horse in a secret place, Wu Ma was able to get it quickly.

"Xu Gou has already erased your past traces. After you fake your death, you will be transferred to Chen Long."

As the confidant of the Crown Prince of Wei, the spy naturally knew that he would become one of the suspects once the white jade horse was lost.

After the two separated, they took their own actions. When the white jade horse and the letter with instructions on how to crack the secret fell into the hands of the third prince of Wei, Wu Ma had already left Daliang City.

When the Crown Prince of Wei learned that the white jade horse was lost, he was shocked. When his confidant got into trouble, he knew that there was a big problem and immediately sent people to investigate secretly.

The third prince of Wei, who had obtained the secret of the white jade horse, was planning to force his father to abdicate, but he needed time to prepare.

The first step is to bring down the prince first, so that he can occupy the position of righteousness.
