In the evening, it was a celebration banquet hosted by His Majesty Li Er, Xie Jiu's eyes were swollen from crying, and she couldn't see anyone, so she had to say that she couldn't get sick for the sake of her glorious image. In a woman's house, no one will laugh at the delicate and weak, so only Wei Yan went to the celebration banquet in the evening.

Li Ji saw that only Wei Yan came alone, and asked Xie Jiu, Wei Yan said: "The little nephew has been holding on to it for the past few days when he is not at home, no, I can't hold it anymore when I come back, and I feel a little unwell, so the little nephew asked her to rest on the couch and recuperate, so as not to really get sick." ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "You kid just don't let people worry, look, fortunately, your father-in-law doesn't know yet, otherwise, I don't know what I'll worry about!" ”

Wei Yan scratched his head and smirked, not knowing how to answer, but he felt full of happiness in his heart, in this strange and familiar Tang Dynasty, except for Xie Jiu, this is the only place where he belongs.

The two uncles and nephews walked in, each found a seat and sat down, and after a while, everyone came, and there were not many, that is, the main officials of Luoyang, as well as His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, Li Zhi, and a few sons, basically the royal people in Luoyang came.

The wine and food were all opened, and His Majesty Li Er said: "There are fewer people in Luoyang, not lively enough, when you return to Beijing, and then you will celebrate your achievements with a formal and lively meal, today's meal, even if it is Wei Yan's pressure feast, Wei Ziyue, has suffered a lot along the way, right?" ”

Wei Yanhan said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, I have eaten some bitterness, but it is all skin trauma, at most it is a bruise on my body, and now it is no longer in the way, and I have suffered the most, but it was the incident that Uncle Li's army had that night, and I was more unlucky at that time, and I was stung by a large piece of insects." It was very uncomfortable for a few days. ”

Saying this, this encounter really made His Majesty Li Er and others cry and laugh for a while, when it was dangerous, it was just bruises, but when it was safe, he was stung by insects, I really don't know whether to say that he was unlucky or that he was lucky. In fact, Wei Yan felt quite complicated by himself, except for the smirk. I really don't know what to do to reflect.

As everyone ate, His Majesty Li Er let everyone disperse, Li Ji and the others marched for a long time, and they had fought outside for so long, so they needed to rest. Wei Yan also needs to rest, to be honest. In the long time he has been outside, he really hasn't slept a solid night. However, there is still business for him to do. After everyone dispersed, Wei Yan saluted His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty." The minister has something to do. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "It's not too late to talk about something tomorrow, you have suffered so much outside, you haven't even experienced military life like this, it is estimated that it is enough." ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Your Majesty Xie cares, it's okay, the minister can still hold on." It's just that the minister agrees to other people's things, and he is entrusted by others, so he must always be loyal to people. Otherwise. The minister has no face to see people. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly and said, "Is it Jiang Rui and the others that you said on your crooked sparse play?" ”

Mention the sparse note. Wei Yan's rare old face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Jiang Rui, whether he has military talent, the minister is a layman, I can't say, but the minister feels that he is a loyal and brave man with the heart of serving the country, otherwise, he will not be able to say that he will abandon the dark and turn to the light because of a few words from the minister, give up halfway, and take the initiative to protect Weichen home. With such a patriotic and innocent heart, the minister thinks that it is very admirable and worthy of respect and protection. Your Majesty, everyone shouts to serve the country with loyalty, but how many people who really do it, to say something not very good, really do it! Jiang Rui's other ministers didn't dare to say it, only this point, the minister dared to use his head to vouch, he was definitely a man of the same kind and a gentleman who kept his promises! ”

His Majesty Li Er still smiled faintly, and said, "I can let your cunning guy vouch for your head, it seems that this Jiang Rui is really capable." Wei Yan, if you make a mistake, you will be punished. ”

Of course, Wei Yan knew, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Weichen delayed you for a while, let's talk about the things along the way, and tell me about the minister's perception of Jiang Rui after observation, whether it is worth forgiving such a loyal minister and righteous man who abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and then ask Your Majesty to decide." ”

His Majesty Li Er still smiled, without any serious look, and said, "That's it, I'll listen to you and see what hardships you have suffered along the way." ”

Wei Yan smiled, and slowly told the things along the way, in great detail, including the fact that he had a choice to fool others by drinking. In this paragraph, His Majesty Li Er heard high-fives and admiration, and Empress Changsun also laughed on the side.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "Okay, you Wei Ziyue, at the critical moment, you are quite bold, hmm...... It's almost the same as you usually do, it seems to be quite slippery and alone, but stubbornly persevering but not far behind Wei Zheng. ”

Belch...... Is this a compliment?! Wei Yan felt that this was a problem, but compared with Wei Zheng, should he be honored or sad? Headache!

Wei Yan secretly slandered himself in his heart, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Niangniang, Your Majesty, there was no way at that time, if you want to live, you can only put your life to death and live later, you can only gamble so much, bet on whether I see the right person, if you lose the bet, you will die, if you don't gamble, you will die, then it is better to gamble hard, if you win the bet, you can go home, and continue to live the days of your wife and children on the hot kang, fortunately, good luck, Jiang Rui did not disappoint the minister, and made the right choice." ”

His Majesty Li Er touched his beard and nodded, and said with a smile: "That's true, in such a situation at that time, it's better to gamble than to sit still, not bad, not bad." But, Wei Yan, where did you hear those stories? Is there such a person? ”

Asked this question, Wei Yan smiled, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the stories are all true, but they are all heroic stories circulated in overseas countries, these people are all heroes, their stories, the minister has seen and heard them since he was a child, so he was more impressed. ”

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing, laughed, and said: "These stories, if I hear them, I guess I will have some thoughts in my heart, not to mention Jiang Rui!" Good eloquence, very good at talking, can speak a life. ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "It's okay, although my life is back, the hangover the next day can make people uncomfortable to death." It was as if my head had been trampled by ten horses, and it hurt and hurt. ”

After reporting again, His Majesty Li Er asked some details on the road again, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyue, what kind of person do you think Jiang Rui is?" ”

Wei Yan thought for a moment. "A pathetic and honorable man! ”

His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "I can understand it, but what can I do to explain it?" ”

Wei Yan said: "Such a person is serious, responsible, principled, talented, and a little lacking in human feelings, no matter what he does." can make a difference. Society is not judged by merit, to a large extent. There is also the influence of interpersonal interactions, and we Tang people pay more attention to these. So. When making achievements, it is easy to be calculated by villains, and I don't know how to be harmonious. Bad relationships with others are a big problem, and they can be fatal. However, such a person is sincere, more attentive than others, and can achieve better results than others, which is a respectable place. It's just that. It's sad that things don't go well! ”

His Majesty Li Er's face was full of contemplation. Said: "Such a statement is new. However, I know why you say respectable and pathetic. ”

Wei Yan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen and villains constitute a part of this world, we can only try to adapt to the society by ourselves, and we can't wait for the society to adapt to us. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Let's go, three days later, I will return to Beijing, and after returning to the capital, I will summon Jiang Rui and the others again, and you are not allowed to see them in the next few days, you know?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

"Alright, let's go down."

"Wechen retired."

Wei Yan saluted and retired, and as soon as he came out, he saw two small heads probing his brain at the pillar, and when he saw Wei Yan coming out, two small pieces jumped out, but it was Li Zhi and his son. Seeing Wei Yan, Li Zhi said, "Lord Wei, how are you?" The son said that he wanted to come over to see Master Wei, but it was inconvenient to say it at the banquet just now. ”

The care of the two made Wei Yan happy, and he felt that his care and dedication in the past were not in vain, and he also felt very happy, because he had paid emotionally in the past, and he had also been rewarded by other people's emotions, and this process was really a process that made people so happy that they couldn't help but want to laugh.

Wei Yan half-squatted, looked at the two little *, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's fine, thank you for your concern." What about you? Have you had a good place lately? Didn't get into any trouble, did you? The princess will never be, but King Jin is doubtful. ”

Li Zhibai glanced at him, pouted and said: "Lord Wei is prejudiced, the pheasant slave is also doing very well, and Mr. even stepped over me to his father!" ”

Looking at Li Zhi's unconvinced little appearance, Wei Yan was very happy in his heart, no longer bullying him, but turned to look at his son-in-law who was looking at him with bright eyes on the side, reached out to touch her little face, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" I haven't seen you for the past few days, so don't you know Master Wei? Then I'm so sad, the past is in vain. ”

The son's face turned red, he shook his head anxiously, and said eagerly: "No, I have always remembered Lord Wei, and the son is also worried about Lord Wei, they say, Lord Wei will die, so scared, afraid that he will never see Lord Wei again, without Lord Wei, no one will listen to his son's heart, no one will tell him stories, will Lord Wei always be good, accompany him?" Waiting for the son-in-law to grow up, like the father and the queen mother, when the son-in-law grows up, he must be as good as Lord Wei, the father, and the queen mother are as good as the son-in-law, tens of thousands of times better! ”

This little girl is really speechless! Seeing that she remembered that she couldn't help but start calling herself by her name again, obviously she had begun to change this habit because she was getting older, but when she faced Wei Yandi, she couldn't help but start again. Wei Yan stared at her with a smile and said, "Look, I'm not here to smile at you and talk to you?" Don't worry, I will still be like this in the future, listen to you, talk to you, tell you stories, and do fun things, what about you, you also have to promise me, insist on exercising every day, eat well, sleep well, happily, and adjust your body well, healthy and lovely little son, is the best little son, and everyone's favorite little son. ”

The little son smiled shyly and whispered: "Lord Wei is like coaxing a child, and the son is a big girl, the queen mother said." ”

Wei Yan felt quite complicated in his heart, and said with a smile: "I know, but in my heart, the son is still the son, a child." ”

The son smiled lightly and lowered his head. It was not a lively child, but as he grew older, he seemed to be more quiet, perhaps this was the need of the environment, but the son was only an eight-year-old child, eight years old, just a small flower and bone in the garden of the motherland.

Wei Yan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Oh, I have suffered so many sins outside, Your Majesty said, let me take a month's vacation, let the little son and pheasant slave worry so much, should I express it?" ”

As soon as Wei Yan said this, the two little eyes lit up, and they looked at him with anticipation. Wei Yan smirked in his heart, finally some children behaved, it is the nature of children to love to play, so it is really unbearable to strangle it.

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that I will return to the capital in three days, and when I come back, I see that there is a small river outside the city, and the weather is hot, why don't we go out for a walk!" Look at the green mountains and green waters, how? ”

Li Zhi nodded his head in agreement, but the son was a little hesitant, Wei Yan was stunned, in the past, the son liked to play with him the most, why did he hesitate now. Wei Yan asked, "Son, what's wrong?" Don't want to go? So what do you want to play? Come, say it, and let's all sum it up. ”

The son-in-law raised his little face, his face was full of sadness, and whispered: "Mama Cui said that the girl's family can't run outside all day long, and she has to study her homework." ”

"Which Mama Cui? Why haven't I heard of it? Wei Yan's face was full of doubts, his son bit his lip, his face was full of pitiful expression, and he looked at Wei Yan aggrievedly, with something in his eyes. Li Zhidao: "It's a newly transferred female official, who says that she teaches her son rules, and she hates an old woman!" ”
