Chapter 110: Refusal
The Ministry of Civil Affairs of Luoyang is equivalent to the national tax of later generations, and Daxing City is the local tax, and it is a large household with a double tax in a short period of time.
"Jingzhao County will have to bear more responsibilities when it increases taxes and revenues." Wei Jin took a firm stance and vowed not to give up if he did not cut a piece of fat from Daxingcheng.
"No way. Jingzhao County now feeds millions of displaced people, spends money every day, and the taxes collected have already been decided. Yan Juncheng retorted unceremoniously.
Now that the taxes of Jingzhao County have increased sharply, Yan Juncheng is full of confidence and directly provokes Wei Jin.
Such a thing was not clear for a while, and the entire court was in a stalemate.
All the ministers focused their eyes on Yang Yu, on the one hand, Yang Yu's left-behind Daxing City, and on the other hand, his grandfather.
Yang Yu moved his body uncomfortably and coughed twice.
"At this time, the stakes are very important, Wei Shangshu has just come to Daxing, and the carriage is tired, please rest more, and discuss it at a later date." Yang Yu sets the tone.
dragged on for a day to open the sea and the sky, and now Yang Yu can only use this trick.
"Obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Acting King!" Everyone promised.
Although Wei Jin was helpless, he could only promise, after all, this was Daxing City, although he stood righteous, he was outnumbered, if he annoyed Yang Yu, the purpose of this trip would be even more difficult to achieve.
Yan Juncheng was proud in his heart, His Royal Highness the Acting King was obviously biased towards Daxing City, there was no doubt about it, and the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for him.
……
East Palace.
Concubine Wei had just gotten up, looking at the beautiful shadow in the bronze mirror, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself.
"Mother, your complexion is so good!" Mother Wu carefully combed the green silk behind Concubine Wei and exclaimed.
"Where? It's all old in the blink of an eye! Concubine Wei stroked a trace of crow's feet at the corner of her eyes and said in disappointment.
"That's a laugh line, the mother has had it since she was a child!" Mother Wu angrily interrupted Concubine Wei's self-pity, she has been taking care of Concubine Wei since she was a child, and she knows every change in Concubine Wei.
"It's not old! Yu'er has grown up and has learned to chase girls! Concubine Wei chuckled, and the room was suddenly bright.
Mother Wu smiled kindly and said, "Niangniang, your method is very correct, as soon as the acting king entered the apple paradise, he noticed Wei Shangshu's granddaughter. ”
"Wei Shangshu's granddaughter?" Yang Yu thought for a while and said, "Is it the girl named Mingyue who often bullied Yu'er when she was a child?" ”
"Isn't it!" Mother Wu smiled,
"His Royal Highness the Acting King has a good vision, among the official ladies in the entire Daxing City, only Wei Shangshu's granddaughter and General Yin's daughter are the most outstanding."
"Now that Yu'er is fourteen years old, it's time to decide on a family affair!" The corners of Concubine Wei's eyes curled slightly, and a slight smile appeared.
In this era, men and women generally get married at the age of fifteen, and marriage at the age of fourteen abounds.
Mother Wu was stunned when she heard this, and hesitated: "Niangniang means to propose to Wei Shangshu!" ”
"Hmm!" Concubine Wei nodded. Shake the bun and loosen it.
Wu's mother put her hair back together, thought for a while, and said, "It's right to be in Yemen." ”
Concubine Wei looked at Mother Wu's bun with satisfaction, and her thoughts were racing in her heart.
At present, it is a critical moment for Yang Yu to fight for the right to inherit the throne, if he can marry Wei Wensheng at this time, it will be of great help to Yang Yun, and Yang Yu is interesting to Wei Mingyue, otherwise how could he send lanterns.
"But who should you send to propose?" Wu's mother asked.
At this time, a eunuch came to spread the word.
"Lord Wei Jinwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came to see Concubine Wei."
Concubine Wei and Mother Wu glanced at each other and smiled heartily.
"Here comes the proposer."
Wei Jin's official to the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the same as Wei Wensheng's position, and in terms of seniority, Wei Jin, as Yang Yu's grandfather, wants Wei Wensheng's granddaughter to propose marriage, which is really the most suitable candidate.
Guard.
The morning dynasty on the first day of the new year was the busiest, Wei Wensheng had already passed the age of ancient times, and his physical energy was already much worse than before.
After a busy day, it is already exhausting. As soon as I got home, I went to the study to rest.
"Father, Lord Weijin of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is visiting." Wei Wensheng's eldest son, Wei Dudao, was the only one who could enter freely when Wei Wensheng was resting.
"Wezin?" Wei Wensheng's eyes opened, and a trace of fine light burst out, and he immediately returned to turbidity.
"Hurry up, please!"
"Lord Wei!"
"Master Wei!"
The pronunciation of the two names is the same, and if you don't listen carefully, it's easy to be ambiguous.
Both of them are well-read history books, of course they know this, and at the same time, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.
Wei Du brought tea and waited on the side.
After a period of nonsense, Wei Jin was silent for a while.
"You and I are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and each of us stays on one side to assist the two princes, and today you and I don't talk about business." Wei Wensheng thought that Wei Jin was here for the matter of paying taxes, and took the lead in blocking his mouth with words.
"Lord Wei is refreshing! I'm not going to talk about business today. Wei Jin said briskly. Then the tone changed.
"Actually, I happened to be here today for a personal matter."
"Peat!" Wei Wensheng scolded in his heart, and 10,000 crows flew by in his heart, it turned out that Wei Jin pretended to wait for him Wei Wensheng to take the bait.
"Oh! Master Wei, but it doesn't hurt to say! Wei Wensheng smiled dryly.
"This is Ling Lang!" Wei Jin looked at Wei Du Dao, who was standing on the side.
"It's Inuko Weidu."
"I heard that your son has a daughter named Mingyue, who is twenty-eight years old, knows books and gifts, and happens to be unmarried. I came here today, just to get married to Brother Wei. ”
"Oh, I don't know what Master Wei is referring to?" Wei Wensheng already had a vague candidate in his heart. But I still had to follow his words and ask.
"It is the acting king Yang Yu, speaking of which, he can also be regarded as the grandfather of the acting king, but His Royal Highness the acting king has reached the age of marriage, but now the emperor is far away in Jiangdu, and as a last resort, the younger brother cheekily accepted Concubine Wei's request and came to propose marriage to the daughter of your mansion."
When Wei Jin heard Concubine Wei talk about it, he immediately thought about it in his heart.
He Wei Jin pulled the line from the middle to match Yang Yu and Wei Mingyue, and suddenly borrowed the nominal and actual rulers of Daxing City.
With the support of these two, the purpose of his trip can be easily achieved.
Moreover, the granddaughter of the acting king Yang Yu and the Shangshu family is a good family, and she is a talented woman, no matter how you look at it, it is a good family business.
In his opinion, Wei Wensheng would definitely not refuse such a good thing.
However, things did not develop as Wei Jin had envisioned, and Wei Wensheng fell into silence.
A bad thought abruptly arises.
"Thank you Concubine Wei for your love, it seems that the little granddaughter Mingyue is really blessed, as early as fifteen years ago, the little girl has already made a baby kiss with Wang Zhezhao, the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family."
"Doll pro, it's just a joke, how can you count. If Brother Wei is embarrassed, the younger brother can write to ask His Majesty to give him a marriage in person. Wei Jin said nonchalantly.
Although the Taiyuan royal family is powerful, Wei Jin represents the acting king Yang Yu, and any family must bow down in front of the powerful Yang Guang.
"What kind of person does Master Wei see as my Wei Wensheng, my Wei family has always been full of promises, and even set a baby kiss, which means that the family affair has been completed, how can it be changed!"
Wei Jin looked at Wei Wensheng with a sluggish expression, and really didn't understand how Wei Wensheng could refuse, at their level, family affairs have always been a tool for marriage, and what other family can compare to the thriving acting king Yang Yu.
Regarding Wei Wensheng's words, Wei Jin is a thousand people who don't believe it.
