It has been almost a month since Wei Jian returned to Chang'an, and on the second day after he returned to Chang'an, he asked his brother Wei Qing to pass the news to the Zhizheng Building, Wei Qing was still the assassin of Puzhou, but he happened to be in Chang'an for a few days.

Wei Jian was worried that his brother's weight was not enough, and asked his in-law Du You to express his willingness to be loyal to Guo Song.

But nearly a month has passed, and Guo Song, the king of Jin, still has no statement, and recently there is news that the king of Jin is not in Chang'an, and he led the army to Hedong.

Indefinite waiting and not saying anything Wei Jian was restless, in fact, he also knew where his problem was, he had the title of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Book Sect in the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is, he had the qualifications to be the prime minister, and at the same time he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, such a great god bowed to the small temple of the Jin Palace, at least he should sit in the main hall, that is, Pan Liao's position, no matter how bad it was, it was Cao Wannian's position, but how could it be possible, why should people give it to him?

The Jin Wangfu is not without great gods, the former Xiangguo Li Mi, the elder of the Three Dynasties, the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy is Duguqiu, the general of the right guard, and also the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as the former Prime Minister Yan Zhenqing of the deceased Xiangguo, as well as the Southern Tang Dynasty Rite Department Shangshu and Xiangguo Xue Xun, although Xue Xun and his own qualifications are about the same, but he is the father-in-law of the King of Jin!

These gods all serve as senior ministers except for Xue Xun, so it is logical for him to serve as senior ministers, but Wei Jian is unwilling in his heart, he is only fifty years old, and he has at least more than ten years of career career, how can he be a pension officer.

Wei Mansion is located in Chongyi Fang, covering an area of about 30 acres, is the main residence of the Wei family, and has been inhabited by the head of the family for generations.

In the study, Wei Chuan was asking about the eldest son, Wei Lun had three sons, the eldest son Wei Lun was the chief bookkeeper of Chenliu County, and later abandoned the official and went to Taiyuan.

The second son Wei Mian is not in good health, and he is currently following his uncle Wei Wen to take care of the Wei family's industry, and the third son Wei Kang is a concubine, who has been a palace guard, and is currently serving as a flag officer under Ma Sui's tent.

Among the sons, the eldest son is the most promising, but Wei Lian doesn't know much about the functions of the White Tiger Hall, and is asking his son!

"Child, for example, my father will know, last month there was a note from the Jin Wangfu, and the Yanzhou government asked for permission to cut wood and burn charcoal......"

"Wait!"

Wei Jian hurriedly stopped his son, "Isn't it possible for the local government to call the shots for such a trivial matter as cutting wood and burning charcoal?" ”

"My father didn't know that there was a lack of trees in the states of Guannai Province, and the soil could not be stabilized, and when it rained, a large amount of soil was washed into the Yellow River, causing sediment accumulation in the middle and lower reaches, and flooding occurred in the Yellow River every year, so the King of Jin issued an order that the states in the Guannai Province were not allowed to cut down trees, and if there were special circumstances, the governor's office must approve it."

"I see, you go on!"

Wei Lun continued: "The Yanzhou government's request for logging was approved by Pan Changshi, and then transferred to the White Tiger Hall, which was stamped and issued by the White Tiger Hall, but the child did not agree, and returned this note to Pan Changshi, because at the beginning of the year, the King of Jin had ordered that in principle, the states in the Guannai would no longer be allowed to burn charcoal, but encouraged them to burn charcoal, Pan Changshi obviously forgot this order, so he couldn't pass it in the White Tiger Hall, and asked Pan Changshi to re-examine it, or submit it to His Royal Highness the King of Jin for approval, before it can be issued. ”

Wei Jian suddenly smiled and said: "I understand, your position is to give the matter, and you have the power to reject Xiangguo's approval." ”

Wei Lun nodded, "It's a bit like giving a thing, but the child is a general judge, not only has the right to reject the decree of the Jin Palace, but also has the right to review and reject the military order of the Tiance Building, there are nine judges in the White Tiger Hall, three military judges, three political judges, and three general judges, His Royal Highness the King of Jin requires that all the decrees of the Jin Palace, the military orders of the Tiance Building, the supervision orders of the Suzheng Platform and the Jin Wang Decree directly issued by the King of Jin must be collected in the White Tiger Hall and finally reviewed and issued by the White Tiger Hall. That's one thing. ”

"And on the other hand?" Wei Jian asked with interest.

"On the other hand, it is to enter, the states and armies must be summarized and sent to the White Tiger Hall, by us according to the nature and importance, and then sent to the various ministries or Tiance Lou, or directly to the King of Jin, we have to stamp the triangular seal, if a local recital does not have the triangular chapter of the White Tiger Hall, then the source is not in accordance with the rules, we have to report to the boss, and then the boss is responsible for investigation and communication, generally speaking, we do not evaluate the content of the fold, only responsible for classification and submission."

Wei Jian took a few steps with his hands in his hands, "I understand, the White Tiger Hall itself has no power, but it can check and balance the Tiance Tower and the Jin Palace, but in this way, is it meaningless for the states to enter the theater in Chang'an?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that the Jinjuyuan is very important, connecting the upper and lower levels, communicating with the court and the locality, or continuing to keep it, and now the Jinjuyuan has moved to the old city."

At this time, the housekeeper said at the door: "Master, the master of the Du family is here!" ”

When Du You came, Wei Lian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said to Wei Lun: "Your father-in-law is here, go and invite him here." ”

Wei Lun hurried away.

Du You's daughter married Wei Lun, Wei Lian's eldest son, Wei Lun, and the two are in-laws, so Wei Lian asked Du You to convey his attitude to Guo Song on his behalf.

Not long after, Wei Lun invited his father-in-law to his father's study, Du You is still very satisfied with his son-in-law, he is steady, but he has courage and responsibility at critical moments, can decide major matters, and is worthy of being the heir to the Wei family.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I'll talk to your father about something, and you can listen to it too!"

Wei Lun glanced at his father, Wei Lian nodded, "Just listen to it, don't interject." ”

"Yes!"

Wei Lun hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea, and he knelt behind his father.

The two sat down separately, and Du You smiled: "After living in Chang'an for a month, I can gradually find the feeling I used to have!" ”

"It's almost, after all, I grew up here, and I've only been to Chengdu for five or six years, but I'm used to being busy, and I always feel a little uncomfortable at home."

Du You knows his in-laws very well, his heart for fame and fortune has always been very heavy, and his mind is relatively narrow-minded, this time he hurried back to Chang'an, but he couldn't get reused, and he has always been worried in his heart, but Wei Jian is not Yan Zhenqing, not Li Mi, and not Han Yun, how can King Jin use him exceptionally?

Du You pondered for a while, but decided that it was necessary to say it thoroughly, and he smiled and said: "At noon today, I had a small gathering with Pan Changshi for a drink, and chatted about some things in the court, and among them I mentioned the virtuous brother. ”

Wei Lian narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What did he say?" ”

Du You felt the contempt in Wei Lian's tone, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, his in-laws regarded themselves as the head of a famous family, and his vision was quite high, to put it nicely, it was too high, and to put it badly, it was too arrogant, and he looked down on Pan Liao and Zhang Qiu'an, these officials from the frontier, but these officials were the foundation of King Jin, and King Jin was able to come to this day, which was inseparable from their full support.

And the major famous families, King Jin only pays attention to it, but in fact it is not reused, otherwise, why did the Li family and the An family in Hexi, the Pei family, the Wang family, and the Wen family in Hedong not enter the counselor's building?

Most of the members of the Counselor's Building are old ministers who started with the King of Jin, in addition to themselves, and it is a kind of luck to enter the Counselor's Building by themselves, and it is also because His Royal Highness the King of Jin needs a Guanzhong family.

However, His Royal Highness the King of Jin attaches great importance to the young people of famous families, Du Siye, Wen Miao, Wei Lun, Pei Jun, Pei Xin, Lu Lun, etc., all of whom have been trusted and reused, which shows that he does not reject the family, who should be used, who not to use, how to use, how to balance, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has his own rules.

What's more important is that the Guanzhong family already has the Du family in the counselor's building, how can it be possible to put the Wei family in it? With such a simple and clear fact, why can't Wei Jian see through it?

Du You lowered his head and thought for a while: "Brother Xian must first understand that Brother Xian's affairs have nothing to do with Pan Changshi, he is just relaying some thoughts of His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"I know, he's just a long history, my affairs really have nothing to do with him, you just have to tell me, what did he say?"

"He said that it has been made clear that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has decided to use Yibo as Jing Zhaoyin."

"Ahh

Wei Lian's mouth opened wide, the King of Jin actually wanted to use his cousin Wei Yingwu as Jing Zhaoyin?

And what about yourself? He suddenly felt bad, King Jin enabled Wei Yingwu, did he still have a chance?

"That'..... Speaking of me what? Wei Jian suddenly became a little discouraged.

Du You said lightly: "Pan Changshi said that the head of the Wei family needs to have a choice, either high or low, I believe that the virtuous brother knows the meaning of this." ”
