Chapter 218: The Situation

Wei Yu smiled evilly, leisurely picked up the teacup, and took a sip of it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After that, he leaned back on the chair lazily and played with the faint ink folding fan in his hand. That wild and uninhibited appearance made Chu Feng's eyes straighten.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Wei Yu put on a smile and said indifferently: "I Wei Yu will take Chu Dashao's words to heart. It's just that I also advise Chu Dashao, 'If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself'. I'm waiting to see what happens to you. The fate of Lord Kim's family seems to be too decisive for you. ”

After speaking, Wei Yu reached out and pinched a piece of apricot-colored pastry, and walked out of the private room while eating.

Chu Feng drank tea disapprerovingly behind him, his eyes bursting with a determination that was bound to win. He raised his voice and said, "Wait a few days, you will become my Chu Feng's bag." ”

Wei Yu swallowed the crisp and replied without looking back: "I'll wait and see." ”

Coming out of the restaurant, Wei Yu rushed to King Jing's courtyard in Xicheng without stopping. He now has a stomach full of questions that he wants to discuss with King Jing, but the timing is not right. However, he can go to the other courtyard to visit Li Xiaonuan, which is really a good excuse.

At the same time, in the study of the main hall of the Wei Mansion, Father Wei was pacing back and forth anxiously. Since learning that his sister Wei Lu and his nephew are still safe, their Wei family has been fiercely attacked by the queen's party to varying degrees.

A few days ago, I received a letter from my eldest son, saying that the second son had returned to Beijing. Today's matter with Lord Jin is the vent of the queen's party dissatisfaction with King Jing's ability to return to Beijing safely. People in the capital know that Lord Jin's family is the godfather of Princess Jing.

Looking at the performance of the second son in Yongzhou Mansion, he is doing things for the emperor. Now that he has returned, he, as a father, must come to him for a good discussion to see what the emperor thinks. It's just that this son, after entering the city, didn't come home at all.

The queen's family is a military general, and most of them are reckless. The ruthlessness of those people is not something that a family like them that has been in literature for generations can resist. Master Kim's family is a living example.

Back then, the queen's father and uncle were in charge of nearly 200,000 troops in the northwest battalion. Although the two were from bad backgrounds, they were born at the right time and found a place in the army. It's the people of their clan who lack the background, and they are often biased, which is very harmful.

Now that I think about it, when the emperor embraced him, maybe he was threatened by those two uncles and nephews. The emperor of that year, the supporters behind him, really did not have the strength of King Jing, who was still the fourth prince back then. Later, he married Wei Lu and got the support of a small half of the ministers.

Fortunately, the Eagle King was the crown prince from the beginning, and no one would oppose his accession to the throne. It's just that after he ascends the throne, he may struggle for many years. However, I don't know when, the emperor actually hooked up with Wang, the niece of the commander of the Northwest Army, so that he could ascend the throne strongly.

But it was precisely because of the Wang family that gave the emperor enough power support that the emperor had to make the Wang family his queen. Originally, the courtiers were not very resistant to the emperor's approach. After all, a king with soldiers is not easy to mess with.

It wasn't until after the Wang family ascended the throne that the eldest prince who had been hidden for several years was born, and the world understood that the emperor had already secretly communicated with others, and even the illegitimate child was so old.

The eldest prince who was not justified was more than a year older than Wei Lu's sister-in-law, who was the crown princess. This doesn't make sense. After all, Wei Lu gave birth to Lin'er a year after being married into the Prince's Mansion. It can be seen that before marrying Wei Lu, the emperor, as the crown prince, had already become friendly with the Wang family.

I just don't know why the Wang family is willing to stand behind the emperor for a few years and doesn't come out to make trouble, which is a bit intriguing. Generally, the princes who compete for power will value the ministers in the court, because they have the absolute right to speak in the court.

But at that time, the emperor would rather put a military family that was just a general on the throne, and offended the civil official family that had been rooted in the imperial capital for hundreds of years. This is one thing that no one can see.

In the first year or two, the queen and her Wang family were still very well-behaved, always keeping to themselves and doing what they had to do. It's just that as there are more and more people in the court who oppose the establishment of the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, the queen is anxious.

Although in those years, the emperor was a special favor for her, and he tolerated and acquiesced in her oppression and framing Wei Lu. But the queen was still very uneasy in her heart, and she finally took a risk and got rid of Wei Lu's mother and son.

Even after that, the Emperor did not show detachment from her or anger her. Only then did the queen relax and play in the harem all day long. I don't take other palace concubines in my eyes anymore. Therefore, over the years, the emperor has only one son, and that is the empress's son.

Those other princes who were raised and abolished were released from the palace early and became a local overlord in the capital. Those princes fight cocks and lackeys all day long, and their voices are dogs and horses, so it's not lively.

Of course, none of those things matter. The important thing is that after the queen put her mind at ease, her maiden Wang family also relaxed a lot. No, in recent years, what the Wang family has done has become more and more outrageous.

The queen is trying to consolidate her position with her son all day long. The means of bribing and co-opting the ministers are becoming more and more blatant and threatening. In short, the people of that party are openly forming a faction under the emperor's nose and are unscrupulous.

For all this, the emperor only pretended not to know. In short, the emperor was quite tolerant. As long as the empress does not move to the people he values, the emperor will not interfere.

This unreasonable phenomenon gave the courtiers a hint that the emperor wanted to clean up the empress's family. Of course, this was only a bold speculation by the courtiers, and did not receive any response from the emperor.

There are also those who are anxious to defy the law, and the results are too tragic. For example, Lord Jin's family was all killed.

The more Master Wei guessed and analyzed all this in the study, the more anxious he became. He wanted to ask his son about Wei Lu's mother and son, and wanted to know what path the mother and son wanted to take in the future. After asking clearly, he can also arrange Wei's manpower.

It's just that......

"Master," a small man ran into the main courtyard in a hurry, shouting loudly, "Master, the second prince has not returned, he has gone to King Jing's other courtyard." The little one can't pull the second son. ”

Master Wei, who was already anxious, heard this, and his heart burned with fire. This son has been working with him since he was a child, and he never understood his hard work. But what can be done, it is always his previous lack of practice, owing them mother and son.

With a sigh, Master Wei lowered his head and sat down behind the bookcase. After half a ring, he helplessly raised his head and ordered the little guy who was still gasping: "You go down first." When will the second son come back, and when will you come to inform me. Remember, no matter when. ”

The little guy stepped back. Master Wei propped his aching head into his hands and smiled bitterly at the painting on the wall. Some people have things that can never be remedied. (To be continued.) )
