Chapter 491: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

One emperor, two prime ministers. γ€Žγ€γ€ŽWords*love*first*hair.』

The three most powerful people in this dynasty seem to be casual and gossip about interesting things, but the people around them all bow their eyebrows and look at each other, eager to become a sculpture.

The palace maids and chamberlains who serve in the Zichen Palace, which one doesn't have a sense of smell? The two Zaisuke will not be untargeted, and the reason why they say this naturally means something. Thinking about the things that the elites are most concerned about, some extremely shrewd people already have a bottom in their hearts, and the key to knowing this matter still falls on the word "skill". After all, Chang'an City is so big, how could Princess Wannian be saved by the prince of Weiguo?

Princess Wannian likes the matter of the prince of Weiguo, only a very few people know, and Pei Xi is one of them. As for Wei Tuo, although he didn't know it before, he can guess it now.

Everyone in the world says that Pei Xi is difficult to get along with, but he doesn't think that a person who pokes your scar in front of you is better than a person who calls you a brother on the surface, but stabs you mercilessly behind his back. Therefore, Wei Tuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "The concubine has no form, and the tutor has no way, which is the fault of Tuozhi." ”

The matter of the Wei Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Wan doesn't say that he knows 100%, but seven or eight points is still clear.

If you ask the Wenchen of Great Xia, who has the most things on his shoulders, and Wei Tuo dares to say second, no one dares to call him first. This also leads him to have too much energy in official business, and he is not very able to take care of his family.

Of course, this does not mean that Wei Tuo's children's tutoring is not good. On the contrary, his three sons and two daughters, although they did not inherit his peerless talent, they also followed him a little, and their abilities were also quite outstanding. Even if they don't rely on their father's grace, with their own abilities, plus the natural advantage of being born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhongju is still very simple.

It's just that Wei Tuo is a very fair person.

He has always believed that no matter where the prime minister's son goes, people should look up to him. Even in the imperial examination, people have to do their best to fight for a place, but his son can directly participate, which in itself is unfair. But this is a social reality, he can't pressure his son not to take the exam because of this, but he won't care, and it depends on his son's ability to go where he goes.

Although this approach is calm, rational and relatively fair, it is a little unkind in the eyes of most people, and Wei Tuo's wife died early, so he continued to be in charge. Although the family is harmonious on the surface, there is some estrangement in the heart. Especially Wei Tuo's impartial approach, of course he thinks it's okay, but the children born by his wife Liao are faintly unfair.

The eldest son and eldest daughter should have the highest status and the greatest inclination of family resources. This has nothing to do with ability, it is purely for the need to "stabilize dìng" and "inheritance". is as outstanding as Pei Xi, hasn't he been suppressed for many years because he is the second son? Wei Tuo is so impartial and lets them do it themselves, which will naturally cause some kind of panic on Cheng Dù.

The Wei family is not like the Mu family and the Pei family, they have a title as a guarantee to ensure that the status of the eldest son will be higher than that of the younger brothers. In the case of each person's ability, it is really difficult to say who will be superior and who will be inferior in 20 years. Wei Tuo's three sons are not much different in age, and the eldest son is naturally a little unwilling, and he wants to make friends with the eldest son of each family, mix personal network resources, and have a person to help him in the future.

Wei Tuo has never been in charge of these things.

He knew who his children were and what they were doing, but he was indifferent. For he knew very well that the men had befriended his sons, not because of how capable these young men were, but because they had set their minds on him, the prime minister. As long as he doesn't move, he is as solid as a rock, and Qin Wan trusts him, then there will be no big mistake.

Wei Tuo's eldest son is very sociable and has many friends, including Wen and Wu, Xun and noble families, and he has very good friends. Coincidentally, Xiao Yu broke Goguryeo, returned triumphantly, and was awarded the title of Duke of Weiguo, and he was not demoted to three generations. People have no doubt that the newly established Hanhai Metropolitan Protector is none other than him, and he is now the hottest big man in Chang'an. Even with his sons, especially the prince of Weiguo, Xiao Ting, the commander of the fourth grade, is also eager for everyone. Even if it is the prince and grandson, if there is any banquet and drink, if Xiao Ting is not invited, there is a fly in the ointment.

The Xiao family's tutor is also very good, the hotter it is, the more cautious and low-key their family is. Therefore, Xiao Ting went to the banquet very rarely, and even fewer times did he invite friends to go to the green, who let him follow his father Xiao Yu to the north to fight at a young age, and he was not greedy for these riches and glory?

The more this is the case, the more unusual it becomes.

Princess Wannian likes Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting doesn't know the true identity of Princess Wannian, and when he saw Bowang Hou Yang Fan pulling Qin Han, he mistakenly thought that the other party was robbing the people's daughter and helped him...... This matter, seemingly accidental, fell in the hearts of people like Qin Wan, who had thousands of thoughts turned around, there were countless doubts and speculations, and the most important question was - why did Xiao Ting appear there?

Who did he go with? Who mentioned this? Why is the timing so coincidental, just right, the hero saves the beauty and hits the right one?

Pei Xi seemed to be joining in the fun, stepping on Wei Tuo's feet by the way, but in fact, he picked Wei Tuo out. Otherwise, even if Wei Tuo knew about this, how could he explain it to Qin Wan? My son wants to join in the fun for the future; Your son sees his sister as an obstacle and wants to eradicate her. So my son was taken advantage of by your son, and it was not my son's fault?

If Wei Tuo said this, no matter how much the relationship between the monarch and the minister was, it would be discounted, not much, but it hurt his feelings, so he knew it, but he could only be silent, but Pei Xi could open his mouth.

Qin Wan is also a clear-minded person, and in the face of such a scene, he doesn't need to think about it at all. Therefore, she pretended to be fine, and after chatting with Wei Tuo and Pei Xi about the handling of Goguryeo and the location of the Hanhai Protectorate and other state affairs, she secretly called Chen Xuan over and asked, "Why did Ah Fan go to find Jiujiu that day?" ”

Chen Xuan had already prepared, and immediately said when he heard this: "Yang Fan's mouth was speechless, which angered Cheng Dai, regretted it in his heart, and did not dare to go to the Shaofu Prison to make amends, so he begged Her Royal Highness the princess, I am afraid that I want to ask Her Royal Highness to help make peace." ”

Hearing this answer, Qin Wan was a little surprised.

She couldn't stand it when she was Yang Fan, but no one helped him intercede, so she came to such a show, and the result was different from what she thought? Therefore, Qin Wan asked again: "What did he say?" ”

With Cheng Dai's temperament, ordinary mouths are completely useless to him, although Yang Fan is not stingy, but he is not a horse-running character, how can he make such a fuss?

Chen Xuan replied: "Cheng Dai has been forcing Yang Fan to study and improve, Yang Fan was forced to be anxious, so he said, you are not my father, why do you care about me like this, do you want to be my father-in-law?" Even if you want to do it, you don't have that idea yet! At that time, the entire Shaofu Prison was there, although they were afraid of Cheng Dai's majesty and didn't dare to say more, but there were still some rumors. When the ladies of the Cheng Mansion found out, they cried a lot. ”

Qin Wan listened to it and couldn't help frowning: "This Yang Fan...... "Although the atmosphere of Daxia is open, girls still want to be famous, Cheng Dai is wholeheartedly good for him, but he doesn't choose what to say, and even brings the name of the girl of the Cheng family, isn't this kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?"

Having said that, Qin Wan dispelled his doubts a little, after all, if Yang Fan did this deliberately, not only would he not be able to reap the slightest benefit, but also completely offended the Cheng family, it was really not cost-effective, so he asked: "Who went to the banquet that day?" ”

Chen Xuan knew in his heart that although Qin Wan asked like this, there was only one sentence he wanted to hear the most-this incident had nothing to do with Su Wo.

Pity......

When he sighed in his heart, Wei Tuo and Pei Xi were walking side by side to the political hall, and Wei Tuo suddenly asked, "Why?" ”

Pei Xi knew that Wei Tuo didn't ask why he helped him, but another thing, so he said nonchalantly: "It's rare to see a good seedling." ”

Wei Tuo doesn't arbitrarily evaluate other people's shortcomings, but Pei Xi helped him, so he also said more: "Even if this is the case, you shouldn't cover it up for him, so that he will go deeper on the wrong path." ”

"Okay, okay, I know that you have always been above board, so naturally you don't look down on this evil nature." Pei Xi said lazily, "Wei Xiang's kindness, I will convey it to that little thing." ”

Pei Xi has always taken an unusual path, he returned home, heard that Yang Fan had sent someone to send a gift, asked him to help make peace, and casually ordered: "Okay, make an appointment and let him come to the door." When Yang Fan came, his first sentence was, "There are many smart people in this world, and there are even more smart people, you say, which one are you?" ”

After that, without waiting for Yang Fan to pretend to be stupid, Pei Xi glanced at him with a smile and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty only has two sons and one daughter, but in this world, there is more than one person surnamed Qin." ”

When Yang Fan heard this, cold sweat soaked through his clothes.

He and Suvo grew up together, and although the brothers were not close, they still had a good grasp of each other's thoughts. Therefore, Yang Fan knew that Su Wo did not dare to move Qin Han, at least not now, so he could only take a roundabout way. Coincidentally, Qin Han is interested in Xiao Ting, a talented man and a woman, and his family background also matches. Su Wo intended to promote this beautiful event, so that Qin Han naturally had no inheritance rights, and he would find a way to attack Qin Zhao - the saint was easy to sit on the country, and naturally wanted to pass on the inheritance to his own children, and the two little ones were gone, so he could only choose him?

Find out what this brother thinks, and it will be easy to do.

Su Wo can get together so many princes and disciples, and stage "fate again" without a trace, Yang Fan will plan it, and by the way, add some color to this play, and add a "hero saves beauty". For this reason, he even offended the Cheng family, harming others and himself in this way, just to make Qin Wan not doubt it. Who would have expected that Pei Xi's words would naturally make Yang Fan frightened, for fear that Qin Wan would also see through his tricks and exile him for thousands of miles.

He was also lucky, Pei Xi didn't look down on Su Wo a hundred, so he helped Wei Tuo, and asked Wei Tuo not to talk about it; Chen Xuan was jealous of Su Wo's deep thoughts, if he really let this one ascend the throne, he, the commander of the secret guard, would be unlucky. These two people tacitly helped Yang Fan to make up for it, otherwise Qin Wan's thunderous anger would make up for it, and 10,000 Yang Fan would also die.

"I see that you are a little clever, so I would like to advise you, don't think that you are a smart person in the world, let alone do things that harm others and yourself." Pei Xi wrote lightly, "People who think they are proud are at most praying mantis who can't get on the stage, and they never have the last laugh." ”
