When everyone entered the British Mansion, it was peaceful and happy.

The etiquette should be presided over by the Ministry of Etiquette in person.

If people don't know, they really think it's a royal wedding.

When all the officials saw that Wei Bao took out all the thousands of taels of gold rewarded by the emperor, they all praised Master Wei's courage and generosity.

Zhang Weixian accepted it with a smile, and smiled at Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, the old man has a daughter, you give 1,000 taels of gold as a dowry, and I should give you 10,000 taels of gold as a dowry." ”

Everyone roared, but they didn't expect that the British man's handwriting was even more terrifying.

Wei Bao was also taken aback, and secretly thought that you are not competing with me, right?

I gave your family 1,000 taels of gold, which is far beyond the normal specifications of the Ming royal family, but I don't want to show off too much, do you get a dowry of 10,000 taels of gold now? What's going on?

However, Wei Bao had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Lord Yue." ”

Everyone talked about it, and after an hour, it was dinner.

Then I played until mid-afternoon, and then I said goodbye.

Wei Bao secretly thought that the pace of life was really slow enough, if he didn't want anything, he would be like these people and wander all day long, and live a life with a high-ranking official, which is really a dream of ordinary people.

"Xiaobao, we will be a family in the future, if you have anything, you will have to confess to me in the future, understand?" Zhang Weixian said to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao didn't understand what Zhang Weixian meant by this, "What does Lord Yuezhang mean?" ”

"Don't be careful, it's not for you to report everything to me, but there is something important, you yourself think it's a secret, and you can't let outsiders know about it, it's best to tell me first, you have to make our British government prepared, otherwise outsiders will know, and our British government won't know, and it will be very passive." Zhang Weixian said.

Wei Bao hummed and nodded, "Of course, but I don't have anything unpleasant." Even if they wanted to borrow equipment and send people to Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, and Denglai Prefecture to reform the tax system and dismantle the army, it would not be an unsightly thing. ”

"Don't be careful, I'll just say that. If you have anything that is not easy to do, you can find it to help you do it, he grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he is more familiar with his contacts. Zhang Weixian smiled slightly, feeling that Wei Bao was still a little resistant to his British government, so it was inconvenient to talk to Wei Bao deeply.

In Zhang Weixian's view, the two families know some secrets from each other to get closer to each other, and now Wei Bao wants to become his son-in-law, and he really regards Wei Bao as a family.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Yue." Wei Bao hurriedly hugged his fists.

Zhang Weixian pressed Wei Bao's hand down, "You, you're all a family, you just have too much courtesy, you don't have to be like this in your own home." ”

Zhang Zhiji also said a few words to Wei Bao.

The relationship between Wei Bao and Zhang Zhiji has changed very quickly, and the relationship between righteous brothers that they had just formed two days ago has suddenly become the relationship between the eldest brother and brother-in-law.

"Xiaobao, you will get married in three days, will you be in a hurry, is this day already dead?" Zhang Zhiji had nothing to say.

"I'm going to die, this is the nearest auspicious day of the zodiac, I'm in a hurry to go to Tianjin to do business, and I don't dare to delay more." Wei Bao Road.

"Okay, I'll ask your people to give me a copy of the list of invitations, there must be a lot of duplicates between our two families, I'll consider it. Also, are there any offended people on your side who can't be invited? Zhang Zhiji asked.

Wei Bao smiled: "No, I definitely don't know as many people as the Guogong Mansion, but we have also sent out tens of thousands of invitations, and none of the invitations should be left behind." I offended some people by doing a written check, but it was all official, and I didn't offend anyone in private. ”

Zhang Zhiji nodded, "Okay, I've counted." You're in a hurry, our family still has a lot of relatives and friends in Nanzhili, so it's very difficult for people to arrive within three days. Not only in the north of Zhili, but also on both sides of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, all over the Ming Dynasty, there are old friends of our government. ”

"My influence is mainly in Beizhili, Jiliao and Liaoxi Liaodong, and I am in a hurry for three days, and I can barely do it, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." Wei Bao said: "I suggest that the wedding banquet of the Guogong Mansion be postponed for a month, and then I will do it when I solve the affairs of Shandong, Denglai, Hejian Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion, and when the class teacher returns to the capital." ”

"Are you sure you can solve such a big thing in a month? With such a large range and so many invitations, once they are sent, the date must not be changed. Zhang Zhiji said.

Zhang Weixian remained silent and looked at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said confidently: "One month is more than enough!" The difficulty cannot be solved if it is not solved, and there is definitely no problem to solve, the key depends on how it is solved! I was going to serve a pot, but I was afraid that the pot would not be served properly and some of it would spill on the ground. ”

Zhang Zhiji didn't understand Wei Bao's meaning too much.

Zhang Weixian understood, gasped, and stopped what Zhang Zhiji wanted to say, "Zhiji, listen to your brother-in-law." ”

"Yes, Daddy, then our family's invitation, I'll choose an auspicious day for the zodiac in the middle of next month, right?" Zhang Zhiji said.

"Yes." Zhang Weixian nodded and asked Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, what do you think?" ”

"Very good! After finishing the wedding wine here of my father-in-law's family, I will go to Liaodong! Wei Bao said with a smile: "It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, so I will take advantage of the prestige of the Guogong Mansion and the fortune of the United States to do two major things in Shandong and Liaodong for him!" ”

Zhang Weixian said meaningfully to Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, it's good that you work hard, I know that you are dedicated to the court, but you have to beware of Wei Zhongxian, what he promised you, you can't believe it all, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, understand?" ”

Wei Bao said with a smile: "I understand what Lord Yuezhang means, do you mean that he promised me to do two things in Shandong and Liaodong before, and gave me the official position of governor of Haiphong?" ”

"Yes, if the imperial court really moves to let you, a person who has only just been in the government for less than a year, and who is only fifteen years old, take such an important position as the governor of coastal defense, it will definitely cause the officials of the world to fight against each other! When the time comes, Wei Zhongxian can take advantage of the situation and say that the resistance is too great, and he will transfer you back to the capital first, even if he promotes you to a third-grade official to appease you first, it must be a false position, and in fact, it will erase all your previous credits. Zhang Weixian said with a thoughtful analysis.

Wei Bao nodded admiringly, secretly thinking that Jiang is old and spicy, no matter how talented Zhang Weixian is, the grandfather of the family is different, the two hundred years of officialdom precipitation is not a joke, and the analysis is very good, "I have also thought about this matter, most of it is as Lord Yuezhang said." However, please rest assured! The yamen I touched in my hand, even if I am not there, no one can snatch it away, dare to rob my position, I will let him die without a whole body! This is the case with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Yamen of Dali Temple, and so will the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong! What's more, the governor of Haiphong, Yamen, still leads an army of 50,000! I expect to be able to solve the Liaodong problem before the beginning of spring next year, and in half a year's effort, Shandong's 50,000 troops will all be under my control! When the time comes, if Wei Zhongxian is embarrassed, I will even do it with him! ”

Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Weixian were shocked when they heard this! I didn't expect Wei Bao's guts to be so fat.

Zhang Weixian thought at first that Wei Bao had drunk too much just now, and now he was talking drunk and talking, but seeing that Wei Bao's eyes were clear and he was not drunk, he knew that Wei Bao was telling the truth.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Didn't Lord Yuezhang just now ask me to have any secrets, and I must tell the Huiguo Mansion?" This is my true thoughts, my biggest secret is that I must not suffer losses, and the losses I suffer today will definitely make up for it 100 times tomorrow! ”

Zhang Weixian nodded, "You can't act recklessly, Wei Zhongxian's strength is not small now, even I don't dare to provoke him easily, not to mention that he has His Majesty in his hands, and His Majesty listens to Wei Zhongxian almost in major matters." ”

"Naturally, I won't provoke him easily." Wei Bao said with a smile: "Now let's follow his steps first, and wait until the beginning of spring next year, as soon as the sixth year of the Apocalypse arrives, I have to be stronger, I let Wei Zhongxian want to go to the Governor of Haiphong, and the Governor of Yamen will not dare to send it!" Even if I am not promoted to the position of Governor of Haiphong, at least I must keep I, the Governor of Haiphong, participating in and leading all government affairs. ”

"Okay, you have this confidence, Dad is very pleased." Zhang Weixian said with a smile: "No matter what you do, as long as you don't oppose Daming, my father will support you!" ”

Wei Bao sweats, you call yourself a father?

Wei Bao chatted with the Zhang family father and son for a short while, and then left the Guogong Mansion.

I thought I would be a little embarrassed because I wanted to marry three women at the same time, but I didn't have it at all, which made Wei Bao feel very happy.

Zhang Zhiji personally sent Wei Bao out of the house, and then turned back and asked Zhang Weixian: "Dad, just now Wei Bao said that he was preparing a pot for the Shandong army, but I was afraid that the pot would not be served well, and some of it would be spilled on the ground." ”

"Can't you even understand this? This Wei Bao is bold, and it is estimated that he is preparing to kill all the Shandong troops. Zhang Weixian sighed.

Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but be shocked, "Kill them all?" He killed all 100,000 people with 10,000 people? Let's not say that he is bold, let's just say that how can 10,000 people kill more than 100,000 people? ”

"I'm pretty sure of the way he looks! If he has this kind of ability, he may really be able to make a great contribution when he goes to Liaodong! Zhang Weixian's face was solemn, and now he couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad to find a son-in-law like Wei Bao?

"Dad, if Wei Bao really has such a great ability, he will simply catch up with the princes of one side, will he be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the emperor? When the time comes, don't bother our Guogong Mansion, he Wei Bao is okay jumping outside, our family is in Beijing. Zhang Zhiji said to his father.

"What else would you do? Moving out of the capital? Our Guogong Mansion has lived in Jingshi for generations, and if we move to the countryside rashly, what will others think? And, no matter what Wei Bao does, we must stand with the royal family! Zhang Weixian said decisively: "You also have to remember this, if Wei Bao dares to oppose the emperor, we will be inseparable from him!" ”

"Yes, Dad, I've written it all." Zhang Zhiji replied with a little worry.

As soon as Wei Bao returned to the mansion, Lin Wenbiao reported a good thing to Wei Bao.

There was a traitor in the Jin merchants, and the shopkeeper of a big business in Qiao Dongsheng secretly made the internal response of the Heaven and Earth Society, and was rebelled by the Statistics Department of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The big shopkeeper revealed that the grain hoarding in Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan was led by Jin merchants behind the scenes.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Only Jin Shang has the strength to make such a big move!" To be precise, only the Qiao family has this strength. ”

The big shopkeeper of the Qiao family said that all the grain they hoarded was hidden at the crossing of the Yellow River, which was close to the Dongying Naval Division of the Shandong Army. This is not easy for us to do, it is equivalent to the Shandong Army directly protecting such a large amount of food! In charge of this matter is Du Yidao, the younger brother of the underworld boss Du Shanling, who was killed by us in Tongzhou, this Du Yidao is very powerful, and the underworld is all over Tianjinwei, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, and because of his brother's death, we will be mortal enemies with heaven and earth! Their officials, bandits and businessmen colluded together, and things were very difficult to handle, and it seemed that there was only one way to go. Lin Wenbiao reported.

"I expected that it could only be solved by force, otherwise what would I do with so many things? You have to check whether this information is accurate these days! Wei Bao said.

"It has been basically verified, the information is very accurate, we have found a rough idea before, this time it is against the big shopkeeper of the Qiao family, but it is more solid information." Lin Wenbiao said.

"Well, immediately let the people of the War Department draw up a detailed battle plan for attacking the Dongying Naval Division Battalion and the Denglai Battalion! Since it is necessary to fight, it is necessary to fight, then it is necessary to fight and annihilate the Shandong army! Don't let them escape, scattered everywhere, and it's troublesome to become a rogue. Wei Bao said.

Lin Wenbiao has already killed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong? With only 10,000 troops?

"President, we are sure that we can win, but if we want to annihilate each other with only 10,000 troops, it will be difficult, right? I originally thought that the president was just going to subdue the other party, and if he was afraid of the other party, he would just force them to comply. Lin Wenbiao said.

"Don't speculate on my mind." Wei Bao frowned, "Things are not as simple as you think, what is a hereditary military household?" Every house is next to each other! If you kill a person, you will kill a family and a family! If you want to avoid follow-up troubles, you can only be ruthless and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded, "But in this case, if the matter is too big, the imperial court will blame it, and the Ming garrisons in all provinces will take the opportunity to attack, right?" When the time comes, if the imperial court can't withstand the pressure, will it be angry with the president?"

"It's not something you have to think about!" Wei Bao said impatiently: "You just need to carry out my orders!" ”

"Yes, President." Lin Wenbiao didn't dare to be verbose, so he hurried down.

Wei Bao was not afraid of the imperial court guarding against him, and he was not afraid of Wei Zhongxian and the emperor guarding against him.

In fact, even if he didn't show great strength, there were still a bunch of people guarding against him now.

If he shows his strong strength, Wei Bao feels that maybe it will be safer, because sooner or later, he will have to show his strength!

What's more, once you hold Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, the gateway to the capital is in your own hands, who dares to oppose yourself, and has the ability to go to Beizhili to fight, will Lao Tzu be afraid that you will write a script?

Wei Bao is indeed the last thing he is afraid of now, because he has at least 10,000 officials under his direct control, and most of the Beijing officials are controlled by Wei Bao.

Moreover, Wei Bao had never heard of that official being sued by the defendant.

No matter what kind of struggle, the ultimate essence of the struggle is strength, Wei Bao believes that in the second half of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, his strength cannot be shaken, anyway, self-preservation is more than enough.

In the past, Wei Bao would flee back to Weijiazhuang and hide back in southern Liaoning when he thought about something at every turn, but now he has no such thoughts at all.

The two roads of Weijiazhuang, Liaonan and North Korea are now the role of the rear base for the Tiandihui, and they are no longer refuges.

As long as he goes well and steadily in the second half of this year, Wei Bao believes that outside the base, he can also open up a sphere of influence, and just by relying on the sphere of influence in his hands, he can also easily gain a foothold in the Ming court.

Another day, just when Wei Bao's side and the Guogong Mansion side were busy preparing for the marriage, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sangui, Wu Xuexia's mother Wu Zu's family, and Wei Bao's parents were all taken to Jingshi.

They came quickly, and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society first reported that Wei Bao was going to marry three women at one time, although this made the Wu family very angry and felt very aggrieved, but thinking that there was a young lady from the Guogong Mansion, if the Guogong Mansion could accept this kind of thing, then the Wu family would have nothing to say.

For the sake of her daughter's marriage, she rushed over as soon as she received the message.

Wei Bao's parents are the same, although they are in Weijiazhuang, they are very well-informed, and they can continue to learn about Wei Bao's dynamics in the capital from Fan Xiaolin.

The son was admitted to the Jinshi, the title of the son's gold list became Tanhualang, the son was awarded an official position, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the scholar in the cabinet, the experience of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the left temple of Dali Temple, an official position is more scary than an official position, anyway, I know that my son is very good in the capital.

Now the news I received is even more terrifying, the son is actually going to marry the daughter of the grandfather of the country? What kind of character is Grandpa Guo? It's almost equivalent to the prince, so what's it?

It is a lifelong event related to his son, and he must come as soon as possible.

So the Wu family and Wei Bao's parents arrived at the same time.

Originally, Wei Bao thought about sending someone to send a message to stop the Wu family from entering Beijing, but after thinking about it, forget it, because the road is too close, and if you send someone again, maybe people are already ready to go on the road, or even on the road, anyway, they already know the news, and it is too late.

And Wu Sanfu promised to appease his parents.

Moreover, it is reasonable to be reasonable, it is impossible for Wei Bao's wedding not to let the Wu family know.

Wei Bao is not worried that the Wu family will dare to make trouble with the Guogong Mansion, nor is he afraid that the Wu family will make trouble with him, but out of the psychology of reason, what Wei Bao is most afraid of is that Wu Xiang will fall out with him because of this, and take Wu Xuexia away directly.

"President, my father and mother have arrived." Wu Xuexia was also very nervous, although she kept telling Wu Sanfu to comfort Wei Bao that it was okay, but when her father and mother really came, she began to be nervous again, and she also knew that this kind of thing was not so easy to explain.

The Wu family is not a small family, and it is okay to say that it is the emperor of Liaoxi, how can he bear his daughter to be a concubine?

"It's here so soon, what about Brother Sanfu?" Wei Bao was startled for a moment and hurriedly asked.

"My brother is still sleeping, so I've sent someone to call him." Wu Xuexia said anxiously.

"Don't panic, don't panic, do as we said before." Wei Bao calmed down and said, "Let's go, if you come, you have to greet you, go out first." ’

Wu Xuexia snorted, seeing that Wei Bao was not very flustered, she also had a little confidence.

Wu Xuexia thought the same as Wei Bao, she was not afraid of anything else, she was afraid that her parents would take her away from Wei Bao and never let her meet Wei Bao, and it was more likely that she would be brought back to Liaoxi this time, and she would be arranged to marry Zu Kefa!

Anyway, Wu Xuexia had already made up her mind, saying that she would not go with her parents in anything, and would follow Wei Bao like this for the rest of her life.

When Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wu Sanfu also ran over in a hurry, and Wu Sanfu ran over as soon as he got the news.

"It's okay, don't panic, Xuexia, according to what I said before, you correspond to your father, and I correspond to my mother." Wu Sanfu said. This is the division of labor between the two of them before, because Wu Xiang usually loves his daughter the most, and Wu Zu's family is also good to Wu Sanfu, not to mention Baiyi Baishun, anyway, he is quite favored.

Wu Xiang and the others don't know the specific situation yet.

Seeing Wei Bao's mansion full of lights, Wei Dakang couldn't help but smile at Wu Xiang and said, "Father-in-law, they are all ready?" Don't know if a qualifying mansion is big enough? Tomorrow, so many people from the old man's family in Liaoxi and Liaodong will come over, and we will have at least a thousand guests in Liaoxi and Liaodong alone. ”

Wu Xiang smiled faintly, did not answer Wei Dakang's words, but looked at the gilded door plaque of Wei Mansion, at a glance, Wu Xiang was secretly surprised, it turned out that the door plaque was actually the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse does not give words to others, but he seems to like to give words to Wei Bao.

Guangweijiazhuang, Liaonan Town Guard Embassy, Tiandi Firm, Weijiazhuang Port, Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Haiphong Qianzhuang. The Heaven and Earth Society Qianzhuang, as well as the current Wei Mansion in front of you, are all from the handwriting of Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Many plaques are not Wei Bao asking Zhu Youxiao for the emperor's words, but after Zhu Youxiao chatted with Wei Bao, he had to give Wei Bao words in person.

Zhu Youxiao is a person who has no friends, and after having such a friend as Wei Bao, he can't wait to dig out his heart and lungs for Wei Bao.

Wu Xiang looked at the plaque of the Wei Mansion and said: "The plaque given by the emperor is such a big handwriting, I wonder if there are many handwritten words from His Majesty in the capital?" ”

Wei Bao had already arrived at the door at this time, and personally answered: "Except for me, Your Majesty has not given anyone a word, and Your Majesty's favor always makes Xiaobao panic." Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, Brother Wu, Sangui, you are all here. ”

In order to show his importance to the Wu family, Wei Bao did not greet his parents first, but greeted the Wu family first.

Wu Xiang saw that Wei Bao hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and he was already as tall as himself, and he nodded even more Yushu in the wind.
