After the dispersal of the dynasty, many high-ranking officials who had a good relationship with the British government went to the British government to congratulate them.

Zhang Weixian, the British public, and Zhang Zhiji, the son of Zhang Weixian, only then did they know that Wei Bao was rewarded.

Although Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji already knew that Wei Bao had won a great victory in Liaodong and killed tens of thousands of Jiannu.

But I didn't hear how the emperor was going to reward Wei Bao.

The two of them are still in a hurry to figure out a way.

Zhang Weixian naturally wanted his son-in-law to make the most profit because of this matter.

Now that the exact news has been obtained, the son-in-law has maximized his profits.

Zhang Weixian was very unhappy.

On the one hand, he didn't make any effort to win Wei Bao's award.

On the other hand, Wei Bao will marry a concubine if he marries a concubine, he has to be so high-profile, let the emperor marry a concubine for him, and let the emperor recognize his concubine as the emperor's sister?

Zhang Weixian not only felt ridiculous, but also felt that Wei Bao was doing this to suppress the majesty of the royal family, as if he was powerful.

As for Wei Bao's promotion to the rank of Zheng Sanpin, Wu Xiang as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Wei Baofeng as the Marquis, Zhang Weixian is satisfied, the more powerful his daughter is, the more honorable he is.

Zhang Zhiji saw that his father was unhappy, so he cheered up and socialized with his father's friends and colleagues, and arranged a sumptuous banquet at noon, which lasted until mid-afternoon, and everyone left.

"Isn't that a good thing, Dad? Xiaobao has the ability, he can actually kill tens of thousands of Jiannu, this is also an unprecedented victory since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and our family will definitely follow in the future. Zhang Zhiji smiled: "You can't be unhappy, Wei Bao can call the emperor to marry a concubine for him, and he can also let the emperor recognize his concubine as the emperor's sister, that is Wei Bao's personal relationship with His Majesty, and we don't need to do anything." Besides, even if his concubine becomes His Majesty's righteous sister, she is only a name, and she is not a real princess. Even if Wei Bao marries a genuine princess, he won't be able to shake our beautiful status. ”

"I'm not worried about shaking the status of Meiyuan, I think Wei Bao is too flamboyant to do this!" Zhang Weixian said sullenly: "Look at the Ming Dynasty, except for Wei Zhongxian, who is so flamboyant to him, no matter how good the relationship with Your Majesty is, you have to have a sense of proportion, and go to Your Majesty for everything!" ”

"But Xiaobao's family has the capital of cattle, Xiaobao is only afraid that he is better than Jiliao Governor in Liaodong. With a heavy army in hand, if you say that you will fight Jiannu, you will fight Jiannu, and if you say that you are disarmed, you will be disarmed, and if you have less than 2,000 people, you will be able to fight tens of thousands of Jiannu troops head-on, which one can be done by ordinary people? Zhang Zhiji smiled and said: "Okay, Dad, don't be angry, when the court sends someone to pass the decree tomorrow, I will also follow to take a look, and help you persuade Wei Bao by the way, so that he doesn't be too public." ”

Hearing his son say this, Zhang Weixian was a little happy, and felt that his son was much more sensible than before.

Zhang Weixian is generally very happy this year, very comfortable, looking for a fast son-in-law like Wei Bao, not to mention that it is difficult to find a lantern, at least one in a million!

If it weren't for his quick start, Wei Bao's talent would definitely be the first choice for the royal family to find a colt.

"Well, it's okay if you go to Liaodong, you should also go to see your sister-in-law, anyway, you don't have anything to do, as for reminding Wei Bao, you don't have to, Wei Bao is a smart person, if you go, he will understand what we are worried about, and if you talk too much, it may make Wei Bao and your sister unhappy." Zhang Weixian said.

"Okay, listen to Daddy." Zhang Zhiji smiled, "But don't always say that I'm fine, I have a lot of things, if it weren't for your worry, what would I do in the bitter cold outside the gate on this cold day?" ”

Zhang Weixian smiled angrily at his son, "You are old and sensible." ”

Zhang Zhiji heard what his father said, and he became satisfied.

The next day, Zhang Zhiji really went to Liaodong with the team of the proclamation.

Wei Zhongxian let Li Yongzhen take the lead, and he didn't bring many people, more than a dozen eunuchs, a team of escorted Dongchang soldiers, and 10,000 taels of gold awarded by the emperor.

This time Zhu Youxiao is really atmospheric, which is an additional addition.

You must know that 10,000 taels of gold is nothing to the rich people of the Ming Dynasty, but for the emperor, it is really a huge amount of money, and 10,000 taels of gold can be easily exchanged for more than 300,000 taels of silver in the people!

The emperor's internal money, at most, did not exceed five million taels, that was the heyday of the Wanli Emperor, Zhang Juzheng just died, when the country was the richest, it was also indiscriminately mined, indiscriminately charged, and only gathered more than five million taels of silver.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, if it weren't for Wei Bao's continuous contribution of silver, Zhu Youxiao's internal money would have struggled to even take out 500,000 taels of silver.

At present, Zhu Youxiao's internal money alone has 780,000 taels of gold and more than 2 million taels of silver.

Whether it is for Zhu Youxiao or Wei Zhongxian, he is very satisfied.

In the past year or so, Wei Bao has continuously contributed two or three million taels of silver to Wei Zhongxian!

More than the sum of the silver contributed to Wei Zhongxian by the entire Ming Dynasty!

"Lord Shizi, Your Majesty and Grandpa Wei really have nothing to say to Lord Wei, and being good to Lord Wei is equivalent to being good to your British Mansion. Not only did he reward so many officials, but he also rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold! Li Yongzhen sat in the sedan chair and said to Zhang Zhiji, who was riding a horse beside him.

"Yes, by Your Majesty's grace, I am sure my brother-in-law will be grateful." Zhang Zhiji said with a smile. He is also in a very good mood, although it is cold outside the customs, this kind of day to run out to blow the cold wind, it is not as comfortable as nesting in the capital, but when he thinks of Shanhaiguan, his brother-in-law will definitely treat himself well, and he is still very happy.

"Didn't Grandpa Guo reward Lord Wei with something? The son-in-law has made such a great contribution, and the father-in-law should also express it, right? Li Yongzhen asked.

Although the emperor's holy decree to reward Wei Bao is still on the way and in Li Yongzhen's hands, Li Yongzhen has already changed his words, lest he be unable to change it at Shanhaiguan.

Li Yongzhen's mood is also very good, this trip to Wei Bao is really beautiful, if it weren't for the nine thousand years old who favored him, it would not be his turn to read the holy decree, how many eunuchs are red-eyed.

Li Yongzhen knew that with Wei Bao's generosity, rewards would definitely be indispensable, at least starting with 10,000 taels of silver!

"My father's most precious is my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is married to him Wei Bao, what else do you want to reward?" Zhang Zhiji smiled.

"That's not what I said, my father-in-law and son-in-law are not as good as father and son, and they are still courteous." Li Yongzhen said.

"Alas, my father said that Wei Bao is not short of silver, and he originally wanted to help Wei Bao find a good errand or something, but he couldn't help anything, and now Wei Bao has hands and eyes all over the sky, which is better than our British government." Zhang Zhiji said with a smile.

Li Yongzhen nodded, "That's right, you know?" Grandpa Wei may have passed the Spring Festival, and he will help Lord Wei to go to the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense, to serve as a real governor! ”

Li Yongzhen now has Wei Zhongxian's secret letter to Wei Bao, and Wei Zhongxian didn't mean to let him keep it secret, he had already told many people, so Li Yongzhen simply sold it and told Zhang Zhiji.

Zhang Zhiji was shocked, Wei Bao is only fifteen years old this year, and he is only sixteen years old after the New Year, the governor of Haiphong and the minister of Yamen? Just kidding, right?

Wei Zhongxian trusts Wei Bao so much?

"Is this news true?" Zhang Zhiji asked.

"The prince must not say it to anyone, this is a secret, I also heard nine thousand years old say by chance, more than ninety percent, as long as there are no major changes, now that Lord Wei has made great contributions, there will be no changes, and your British government is waiting to celebrate for your son-in-law." Li Yongzhen pretended to be mysterious.

Zhang Zhiji nodded, "I can save it, don't worry, father-in-law, I will never talk about it to anyone." In this way, my brother-in-law really wants a cow! is only sixteen years old to be able to sit firmly in the second grade yamen! It's a pity that I'm in my thirties, and I'm nothing. ”

"The prince will wait for the hereditary succession in the future, what else do you want to seek?" Li Yongzhen said with a smile: "The most important thing for a person like the prince to be born rich and noble is to cherish his blessings. ”

"Yes, my father-in-law said so." Zhang Zhiji smiled.

Zhang Zhiji treated Li Yongzhen well along the way, and he covered the expenses of hundreds of people in his group.

Originally, these people ate, drank and lodging, all of which were paid for by the imperial court, and there were officials along the way.

Of course, in fact, there is no need for Zhang Zhiji to pay, out of the capital, you can soon enter the territory of western Liaoning, and when you reach the boundary of western Liaoning, no matter whether everyone hears that the great eunuch Li Yongzhen is coming, or Zhang Zhiji is coming, they will be warmly welcomed.

Who dares to snub Lord Wei's eldest brother?

In fact, as soon as there was confirmed news in the capital, Wei Bao received the information the day after the emperor presided over the early dynasty, and the information from the Statistics Bureau was very fast.

Wei Bao didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to do so well this time, nor did he expect that there was no one in the cabinet and the Manchu Dynasty who objected, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare some gifts, and expressed his heart to the main ministers of various factions, as well as all the ministers of the cabinet.

There will not be much silver, two or three thousand taels per person, thirty or forty people, and this scale will add up to a hundred thousand taels of silver.

The key is to make this action, and if there is anything next time, others will think about whether to help Master Wei speak, even if they don't help speak, they will weigh not to object.

When Wei Bao asked people to bring a message to Fan Datou and asked Fan Datou to contact Wei Zhongxian to do something, he didn't tell Zhang Meiyuan and Wu Xuexia, but now Wei Bao is in a good mood, and thinking that the holy decree has arrived, they will definitely know, so they can't help but say it.

"Meiyuan, Xuexia, there is something I want to tell you, you have to promise me first, you can't be angry, especially Xuexia." Wei Bao said while eating lunch.

Zhang Meiyuan and Wu Xuexia were stunned, looked at each other, and didn't know what the husband was going to say.

Now for dinner, the three of them usually sit at the same table and eat.

The huge table can sit for dozens of people, and three people can sit, which seems to be a little more empty.

"Husband, it's all a family, what does the husband say, but it doesn't hurt to say it directly. I'm not going to be angry with my husband. Zhang Meiyuan first said.

Wu Xuexia couldn't think of anything to make Wei Bao angry, and wondered: "Could it be that my husband wants to help my father become the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan?" ”

"That's it!" Wei Bao laughed.

Then Wu Xuexia really can't think of anything else that makes her unhappy, and even if her father's affairs are yellow, she won't take it too seriously, her father bought a martial artist, and he didn't even come out for five years after he came out, where is he qualified to be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, the throat position of the entire Ming Dynasty?

Wu Xuexia originally thought that Wei Bao was whimsical.

"Then congratulations to the president, my dad must be very happy, I really can't think of anything to be angry about." Wu Xuexia pouted her ruddy little mouth.

"You promise me first." Wei Bao Road. Although on the day of marrying Wu Xuexia, Wu Xuexia once proposed that she was willing to suspend the wedding, let Mao Wenlong find Zhao Jinfeng, and let Zhao Jinfeng marry Wei Bao first.

But at that time, after all, there was a premise, and it was when Mao Wenlong was making trouble.

Wei Bao didn't know if Wu Xuexia was telling the truth, or if she was in a hurry.

It is difficult to figure out a woman's mind, so it is better to get a preventive shot first.

Even if he gets a preventive shot first, Wei Bao knows that Wu Xuexia will definitely still be a little unhappy.

"Well, no matter what my husband does, I won't be angry with my husband." Wu Xuexia assured.

Wei Bao smiled and told the emperor and Wei Zhongxian that they had agreed to the four conditions he had proposed.

Zhang Meiyuan and Wu Xuexia heard that Wei Bao asked the emperor to preside over his marriage with Zhao Jinfeng, and recognized Zhao Jinfeng as the emperor's sister, and their beautiful eyes widened at the same time.

It's incredible.

Not to mention Wu Xuexia, even Zhang Meiyuan is a little unhappy.

If Zhao Jinfeng marries Wei Bao as the imperial sister, although she still can't suppress her, she can almost be on an equal footing with her, the daughter of the Guogong Mansion!

Obviously, Zhao Jinfeng married into the Wei Mansion and is the second lady, and she can even be said to be the quasi-first lady!

It must be above Wu Xuexia.

This is the last to come first.

The strangest thing is that they couldn't imagine that Wei Bao is so capable now, and the emperor and Wei Zhongxian are so indulgent to their husbands, it is unbelievable that they can agree to such conditions, this is their own reward.

Neither woman spoke.

Zhang Meiyuan looked at Wu Xuexia, Wu Xuexia's eyes were already red, and she looked infinitely aggrieved.

Wu Xuexia didn't particularly care about Zhao Jinfeng above her, if Wei Bao married Zhao Jinfeng first and then married her, she would definitely not say anything, after all, Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng knew each other before her, and they should have been above her.

But now that she has married into the Wei Mansion and is already the second lady, Wei Bao did this, obviously because she was afraid of wronging Zhao Jinfeng, so she insisted on joining the team.

She was wronged herself, knowing that her father and everyone in the Wu family would definitely be unhappy, which was something that made the whole family dusty.

"Xuexia? Are you angry? Wei Bao was a little apprehensive.

Wu Xuexia shook her head gently, and her tears were still falling.

Wei Bao's heart suddenly pinched, he expected this situation, but he didn't expect Wu Xuexia's reaction to be so intense, and he actually cried at that time.

Wei Bao has also been quite entangled in the past two days, he proposed this article, naturally hoping to achieve it, hoping that the emperor could give face, but the emperor and Wei Zhongxian really gave him this face, and he was worried that he would hurt Wu Xuexia.
