Chapter 67: The Song Clan's Ambition

A trace of helplessness flashed in Song Bugui's eyes, if it weren't for the coveting of your mother's appearance and designing to have a relationship with her, how could the old man let you come to Jinling so hard, and how could he be so attentive to help you wipe your buttocks, even so, your mother should not use this matter to blackmail the old man forever, not to mention that after so many years, the evidence has long been destroyed, and your father has long passed away, the old man is still afraid that your mother and son can make up for the evil fate caused by impulsiveness back then.

Song Wei didn't know the grievances and grievances between Song Bugui and his mother, but he felt that every time he saw Song Bugui, he always felt that there was a different feeling in the other party's eyes, and he was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask it, and he couldn't ask it, so he could only bear it silently, although he had also inquired in private, but his status in his family was not high, and many things could not be done by outsiders, so he didn't know about the private relationship between Song Bugui and his mother for so many years.

"According to the information that the old man has gotten, the emperor attaches great importance to Shen Yan and even trusts him, which is an extremely strong signal." A faint trace of worry and doubt appeared in Song Bugui's eyes, and he couldn't understand how the emperor's temperament could trust a Shen Yan without the slightest background so much.

"Uncle, nephew don't quite understand." Song Wei felt in his heart that Song Bugui's words were a bit exaggerated, in this society dominated by gate valves, even if a person without the slightest background gained the emperor's respect and trust, he couldn't set off any storms, at most like a small pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has only trusted three people, the first person is Guo Zi'an, the emperor and the left minister, but the old boy is extremely smart, after the emperor stabilized his position, he resolutely chose to go into hiding, it is Guo Zi'an's choice, the emperor trusts him very much, and has visited Guo Zi'an's residence many times, the old man wants to be more familiar with the emperor and Guo Zi'an than the old man, and the old man will not say much here." Song Bugui seems to be an earnest and seductive old pedant at this moment, full of economic boasts.

"The second person is Xu Sanyuan, who has served the emperor for more than 30 years, don't look at the emperor's severe crackdown on eunuchs, but the emperor's trust in Xu Sanyuan has never changed, and I have to admire Xu Sanyuan, a gelding, not only knows how to observe words and feelings, but has never done anything that does not please the emperor for more than 30 years, and it is not difficult to see how careful Xu Sanyuan is from this point."

"As for the third person, to be exact, it can only be counted as half, he is the current official Shangshu Qiu Mubai." Speaking of this, Song Bugui sighed softly, and then continued, "Why do you say that Qiu Mubai can only be counted as half, this has something to do with Qiu Mubai's choice, when the emperor looked at the talent of Qiu Mubai, he tried to make Qiu Mubai a sword in the hands of the emperor, wantonly plundered and killed our children of the family, and let Qiu Mubai be a lonely minister isolated from the hundred officials, but Qiu Mubai wisely chose to refuse, according to the emperor's temperament, Qiu Mubai's position should be very bleak and miserable, but Qiu Mubai has never lost the emperor's heart, But due to the existence of this stalk, the emperor can't completely trust Qiu Mubai. ”

"Now it seems that the fourth trust in the emperor's heart is Shen Yan who rises like a comet."

"Uncle, are you exalting Shen Yan too much, Shen Yan is not as full of economy as Guo Zi'an and Qiu Mubai, nor does he understand the emperor's heart like Xu Sanyuan, he is completely a reckless and rampage hillbilly." Although Song Wei's opinion of Shen Yan has changed after today's trial, he does not think that Shen Yan will become the fourth person trusted by the emperor, so he said disapprovingly.

"Song Wei, it seems that you have really lived too smoothly in the past few years, and you have forgotten your roots, don't forget, the ancestors of our Song family are also from hillbillies, and they have had the opportunity to create our Song family gate valve with their own diligence, if you even forget this root, the old man thinks that even if the head of the family does not punish you, you will not go too far." There was a faint hint of anger hidden in Song Bugui's eyes, and he said angrily.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, my nephew is anxious and made a slip of the tongue." Song Wei hurriedly stood up apologetically.

"Do you know the emperor's attitude towards Shen Yan? Do you know why the emperor gave Shen Yan, who had no strength and background, a title of cabinet walking, instead of giving it to you? Do you know that the emperor resolutely took 5,000 taels of silver from the treasury, which was not very rich, to Shen Yan as the military salary of those people in the Beijing suburb barracks, and you also know the causes and consequences of the Beijing suburb barracks, can you do it from the emperor to get these military salaries? Do you know that for the sake of the emperor and for Shen Yan's suggestion, he actually wrote the banner of the Great Xia Royal Army as a barracks on the outskirts of Beijing? A trace of coldness appeared in Song Bugui's eyes, and he looked coldly at Song Wei, who had a trace of sweat on his forehead, and asked without the slightest emotion.

"Judging from these factors alone, if you don't trust Shen Yan, why does the emperor give him these things and do these things for him?" Speaking of this, Song Bugui's voice suddenly mentioned a scale, stared at Song Wei's eyes, and said coldly.

"Uncle, my nephew knows it's wrong, it's just that my nephew has been targeting Shen Yan before, and I hope my uncle will teach me how to improve my relationship with Shen Yan." Faced with the powerful and somewhat scared Song Bugui, Song Wei had to lower the head that had always claimed to be smart and expensive, and humbly asked Song Bugui for advice.

"Simple, there are still a few days before your mother's fifty-fifth birthday, you can make a little fuss on this matter, hold a literary meeting, invite some literati and celebrity daughters to participate, and invite Shen Yan by the way, take this opportunity to contact the other party more to improve the relationship with him, as for how to operate, you don't need the old man to teach you." Song Bugui frowned slightly, and a graceful figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and then said indifferently.

"Nephew understood." Hearing Song Bugui's suggestion, a trace of inexplicable fear appeared on Wei's face, for some reason, after he took his mother to Jinling, his mother seemed to be very reluctant to live with him, and his requirements for himself became more and more strict, so severe that he couldn't bear it, so many times, he chose to avoid it far away, and now he suddenly heard Song Bugui's suggestion, Song Wei himself didn't remember how much time he hadn't said hello to his mother.

"Song Wei, before leaving, the old man wants to warn you: don't forget the training of our Song family, don't forget the ambition of the head of the family, and don't forget your mission to approach the third prince, if you forget this, you don't need the head of the family to come forward, the old man will do you." Song Bugui didn't know the changes in Song Wei's heart, but when he saw the change in Song Wei's expression, he couldn't help but warn.

"My nephew never forgets it." Song Wei couldn't help but recall in his mind that when he left Bazhong, the head of the family taught him earnestly, and his strict desire for his mission, but Song Wei always felt in his heart that it was impossible for the Song family to achieve that ambition, although the Song family is a gate valve, a big family, and has irreplaceable influence in Bazhong, but compared with a huge machine like a country, the Song family is still much worse.

Song Wei had this idea, perhaps because his status in the Song family was not enough, and he couldn't get in touch with the core of the Song family at all, and he didn't know what kind of strength the Song family had hidden over the years. If he knew, maybe even he would be surprised, or dumbfounded.
