Xu Yingcheng exchanged glances with the emperor, and was about to speak, when he saw the king of Zhennan on the side stand up: "Old General Wei is too worried, your father and son have been stationed in the bitter cold land of the frontier all the year round, and Ling Lang has even delayed such life events as marrying a wife in order to protect the frontier, what is the crime of you, as a father, marrying a wife for him?" What's more, the military order said that the person who took a wife before the battle was severely sentenced, and now that there is no war on the frontier, where did he come from before the battle? is not a wife before the battle, how can the father and son of the old general Wei be guilty? My emperor is benevolent and reasonable, and I should praise the father and son of General Wei for their dedication to garrisoning the border for my Lan Zhaoguo, dedicating themselves to the country, and sacrificing their loyalty and courage for the country! After King Zhennan finished speaking, some courtiers who supported King Zhennan began to second.

So that the emperor and Xu Yingcheng couldn't say anything more.

In the end, in order to show his benevolence, the emperor gave Wei Ying a night pearl as a reward.

Then, as Wei Ying expected, the emperor also issued an order on the spot, asking Wei Qinian to resign from the post of the guard general of Helan Mountain and transfer Wei Qinian to be the commander of the imperial city patrol battalion!

The official position is promoted, but there is no real power.

The patrol battalion is subordinate to the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the General Department of Urban Defense.

And the post of the commander of the Nine Gates who holds the real power is Xu Zekun, the son of Xu Yingcheng. The patrol battalion is just a guard battalion stationed outside the city, only responsible for arming and patrolling outside the city gates, and it is a position that is suppressed everywhere.

But at this time, Wei Ying's father and son were already involuntarily, and as soon as the resignation excerpt was handed out, Wei Ying was already mentally prepared to be manipulated by the emperor and Xu Yingcheng.

Even if they didn't rescue Helanqin and them, with the emperor's suspicious and fickle personality and Xu Yingcheng's fanning the flames beside him, the emperor would not let them, the old ministers who had been close to Helanche, continue to stay in the border fortress.

Because everyone knows the inextricable connection between the Helan family and the Yan family, the emperor and Xu Yingcheng understand that as long as Wei Ying's father and son continue to stay at the border pass, there is no guarantee that one day the soldiers of the Yan family will enter Xihai City without blood. As long as Xihai City falls, there will be no more impenetrable cities in the territory of Lan Zhao Kingdom!

Therefore, Wei Ying and his son must not stay at the border!

Wei Ying has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has long expected that as soon as Helan Che is destroyed, the emperor's target will be transferred to him!

If you don't resign at this moment, sooner or later there will be a holy decree coming down, not to mention the removal of your official title, and it is a trivial matter to behead you. Therefore, the scheming and calculating Wei Ying took this opportunity to submit his resignation to the emperor, firstly, to let the emperor relax his vigilance against them, and secondly, to keep his son away from the border that was about to be full of wolf smoke.

Wei Ying's scheming emperor guessed one or two, so he was so generous to approve his performance and tied his son near the imperial city, so that it would not be easy for Wei Ying's father and son to overturn the case for Helan Che! This is also the mind of the emperor and Xu Yingcheng.

The palace nobles who hold heavy power in the court, the civil and military officials are all human spirits, as long as the emperor comes down, they will try their best to guess one or two, at this moment, Wei Ying's father and son's approach not only let themselves retreat, but also let the emperor save face, killing two birds with one stone. It's a joy for all!

When they retreated, those old friends came to congratulate them.

Xu Yingcheng walked over: "Old General Wei has returned to his hometown this time, which can be regarded as clean!" It's just that there is one less general in the court, which makes the emperor and our courtiers a little more worried about the safety of the frontier! ”

"Hou Ye Xu said with a smile, my Lan Zhaoguo has many talents, we old and frail people will not give way, where will those young and promising generals show their skills? However, Hou Ye Xu should be strong and strong, and the more he lives, the higher he climbs, that is, ...... The old man has a saying to advise Hou Ye Xu, climb high and fall far, everything must be done in moderation, don't be too persistent! "Wei Ying has already resigned from all his official positions, so he doesn't have much to worry about, in front of so many civil and military officials, he can't let Xu Yingcheng get off the stage, nor can he get too carried away!

Everyone in the entire court knows that he Wei Ying and Xu Yingcheng are not dealing with each other, and he can't be suppressed by him because he has been added to the rank and knighted, and he has no official position!

A veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he does not lose his momentum if he loses!

Can't let Xu Yingcheng feel that Wei Ying is afraid of him!

General Wei's words were taken to heart. Now that the old general Wei is at home, Xu will visit at any time when he is free to ask for some good advice on how to deal with people, and he hopes that the old general will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Xu Yingcheng, who is good at adapting, did not become angry, but said without changing his face.

Especially the words that come to the door to ask for advice are very gnashing of teeth.

Wei Ying laughed: "Hou Ye Xu can come if he wants, Wei is waiting for him at any time!" ”

"I don't dare to bother General Wei to wait, but whenever I have time, Xu will definitely come to the door. I also hope that the old general will not forget today's agreement, and will not be seen for Xu's visit at that time. Old general, Xu took the first step and said goodbye! After Xu Yingcheng finished speaking, he hugged his fists and left.

Wei Ying looked in the direction Xu Yingcheng left and snorted.

"The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and is uneasy and kind! The treacherous and cunning Xu Yingcheng must be suspicious of you marrying a wife and having children, and wants to come to our house to investigate! The real wolf ambition is obvious! Such a rush to kill is something that only a sinister villain like him can do! On the way home, Xu Yingcheng gritted his teeth and said.

。 "Is he still suspicious that we saved the orphans of the Herlan family? Still trying to get proof? Wei Qinian pondered for a moment and said.

"If he hadn't doubted it, he wouldn't have offered to visit the house! If I knew it, I wouldn't refuse the emperor's marriage, so as not to attract Xu Yingcheng's attention. ”

"Father was too worried. Xu Yingcheng, even if they came to the mansion, they might not break into the backyard to check whether Yu'er and Yalan were the people they were looking for. Besides, the emperor proposed marriage, even if my father didn't refuse, I would say Yalan and Yu'er on the spot. Now that I am commensurate with Yalan and husband and wife, I will never marry her again, so that Yalan and Yu'er will be ostracized in the mansion. When Wei Qinian said this, he remembered the events of the morning inexplicably, and couldn't help but blush: "Father, in the future, I will treat Yalan and Yu'er as my family members, don't let outsiders see this relationship between us, it will be bad for Yalan and Yu'er at that time." ”

"What you say makes sense, that is...... It's a pity that Yalan and you have a huge disparity, and she is seriously ill, otherwise, my father would be looking forward to you and her making a fake and becoming a real husband and wife, and it can also be a father's heart disease! After Wei Ying finished speaking, he sighed: "If you are so persistent about marrying a wife, you will be relieved to be a father." ”

"Father, rest assured, when Yalan and Yu'er find Mo Guyi, when her illness is cured, and we have completed the trust of the Marquis of Zhenguo, I will definitely find a way to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for my father." Father...... Rest and rest! I'll be in the house soon! Father, don't worry too much, it's better to take care of your body than anything else. Wei Qinian finally didn't dare to say what was in his heart.

Only then did I find out that this matter is not easy to say.
