Chapter Forty-Eight: Again Suo Meiji
[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 387
A few days later, the army returned, and Shen Donglai, the assassin, brought all the officials from the top and bottom of the city to welcome the army for thirty miles. The city was full of lights to celebrate the death of Di Dadan in Mushur.
At this time, Shen Zangfeng had not been able to come back from Diecui Pass, but because he sent a letter back every two days, it showed that he was still persuading the talent named Shangguan Shiyi, and everything was fine. Wei Changying didn't worry much about him.
After the return of the army, the rewards and the like were handled by Shen Youjia and Shen Dong, and there was no need for Wei Changying to interfere. She just followed what she said before, listed the batch of Meiji that the elders had forced to Shen Zanghui at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and sent someone to send it to Shen Youjia, explaining that they were all delicate and lovely young women who could be used for rewards.
Shen Youjia was also not polite, and directly assigned the people to the subordinates who had made contributions in this expedition. Because there are really a few very beautiful people in that batch of beauties, this matter has attracted a lot of people to scramble, so that Shen Youjia personally ran to Mingpei Hall to ask for Wei Changying two days later, and cheekily asked for another batch of outstanding beauties as a reward.
After Wei Changying heard about it, he laughed and said: "That batch was given to the fourth brother by the elders, and the fourth brother was already served by manpower, and there was a lot of trouble for the suspect, so let me help him get rid of it." I don't need them here, so I'm giving it to you. Is it difficult for me to cultivate a group of people to reward you? ”
Shen Youjia looked left and right, and saw that they were all Wei Changying's henchmen, so he smiled and said with bad intentions: "My nephew knows that my aunt doesn't have such a beautiful girl to reward here, but the elders can give it to the fourth uncle, why can't there be more people?" ”
Wei Changying was stunned, and then she came here to suggest that she go back to the old people who gave Shen Zanghui back to beg for beauty, she was speechless for a moment, and then said: "You have a good idea, but you asked me to do this difficult thing?" ”
"The nephew is humble and low-level, where is there a place for the elders to talk to the nephew? My aunt is different. Shen Youjia salivated and said, "It's difficult for my nephew to say this, my aunt opened my mouth, who in our clan can not give my aunt face?" ”
"This victory has not been achieved in decades, and you will not continue to be humble in the future." When Wei Changying heard this, he smiled faintly and revealed the news. Although the saint was worried that the Shen family's prestige would be too strong and would endanger the imperial power, this great victory was remarkable, beheading tens of thousands of people, chasing Di people deep into the grassland for thousands of miles, and even killing Di Dadan Yu Mushuer.
This kind of merit is not rewarded, and if the saint does it, the ministers will also make a noise. Shen Youjia's lieutenant must be raised.
Shen Youjia, who has been the captain of Xiliang for more than ten years, lit up when he heard this, but still said: "The elders are at least the grandparents and elders of their nephews, and the nephews dare to come to their aunt to ask for it, but they don't dare to go to the elders to complain." I also begged my aunt to call the shots for my nephew! ”
Seeing that he was insistent, Wei Changying smiled, thinking that it would be good to take this opportunity to knock those elders, so he asked, "How much do you want?" ”
Shen Youjia came and opened his mouth: "My nephew went out on this expedition and set up a subordinate worthy of rewarding Mei Ji, how can there be one hundred and eighty people left!" ”
"One hundred and eighty, this is going to empty the backyard of the elderly!" Wei Changying reminded, "Previously, they gave people to your fourth uncle, and they only sent seventeen. She just wanted to knock on those people, whether they were all members of the Shen family or elders. They don't make big mistakes, and Wei Changying doesn't want to go too far.
Especially now that the army has just returned, Xiliang is very happy! This eyeknuckle swept everyone's interest, and it was also a blow to the morale of the army.
Shen Youjia refused to reduce, and said: "They can send the fourth uncle alone, there are seventeen, not to mention the many soldiers under the command of the nephew?" ”
"You want a beautiful girl, not an ordinary maid. Ji people have chosen to buy dignified eyebrows and eyes since childhood, and after more than ten years of training. How do you come up in a hurry? Wei Changying smiled and said, "Or you will just order, those who have less credit, will reward a maid." I'll tell you the truth, don't look at those beautiful women, and they are good at singing and dancing. In my opinion, these people are not as good as a rough maid in the life of a small family. ”
Shen Youjia insisted: "Now that the sons and daughters have returned from a great victory, what they are most looking forward to is to please a beautiful girl." As for what my aunt said about living, it was the truth. But even if Mei Ji didn't know how to do housework before, she could learn it when she got through the door! But now a woman who was born with a mediocre appearance, can't she suddenly look good after passing the door, right? ”
He also said, "The elders are old, and at such an age, it is serious to enjoy the joy of family." What do you want so many Delicate Ji people to do? Raise it in the backyard and waste food! It is better to give it as a reward, and to multiply. ”
When he said this, everyone in the hall covered their mouths and snickered.
Wei Changying also said angrily: "How can you say this about the elderly? What nonsense! ”
Despite this, Shen Youjia still insisted that Wei Changying promised to ask the elders for another batch of beauties for him, the more the better, so he left satisfied.
After he left, Zhu Xian was surprised: "The servant still thinks that Shen Duwei is asking to see the young lady today in order to ask for the guilt of his brother Shen Da in charge of the matter!" I don't want him to continue to ask for people to come, and he didn't mention the matter of Chief Shen Da until he left! ”
"I've heard for a long time that this person has a rough temperament, and now it's really true when I see it." Wei Changying didn't care, and said, "Shen Youyi is Shen Youyi, and Shen Youjia are brothers, but the confusion he made has not reached the point where he needs to involve his brother", and said to Zhu Yi, "You go and inquire, among the people who sent Meiji to the fourth brother before, is there anyone who has offended Youjia?" Why does he have to pester me today and promise to ask for someone for him? ”
Zhu Yi said: "If you go back to the young lady, you don't have to inquire." The servant knows what's going on! ”
Wei Changying asked curiously, "What is it?" ”
"Young lady, you know that Shen Duwei is certainly a disciple of the Shen family, but he is not very proficient in literary affairs......" Zhu Yi thought about the appropriate wording, and said, "A few years ago, during the New Year's Festival, Shen Duwei went to the third old lady's mansion for a banquet, and the banquet was ordered to drink, but when he arrived at Shen Duwei, he didn't think about it for a while-Originally, Shen Duwei had already admitted the punishment for drinking, but among the prostitutes who were called to help the fun that day, there was a prostitute named Wei'er, who came out and ridiculed Shen Duwei!" ”
Wei Changying frowned and asked, "And then?" ”
"Shen Duwei is furious!" Zhu Yi said, "The servant heard that Shen Duwei said this at the time: to the effect that Duwei is conscientious and conscientious in serving the country, and he is worthy of heaven and earth, and the wine order at the banquet is just a trivial matter, and a prostitute who is just for fun dares to talk about his lack of literary talent?" He also said that the Shen family was originally a martial heirloom, and it required all the children in the clan to be literate, which was only able to be done by the young lady, your maiden family! ”
"What did the third uncle do?" Wei Changying asked.
Zhu Yi said: "Here's the matter: it is said that Shen Duwei said so, and it is reasonable, even if the third old lady does not dispose of that wisp, she should be handed over to Shen Duwei." But the third old lady was perfunctory at that time, and within two days, he included the wisp in the backyard. To this day, she still serves the three old ladies, and the old ladies like it! ”
Wei Changying understood, so he said to the Huang family: "Auntie, go back and tell the third uncle, just say that this time each family has a beautiful girl, and Wei'er must be listed among them!" ”
Zhu Yi said on the side: "Young lady, the third old lady likes this wisp a lot, it is said that the wisp is pampered, and even the third old lady's yuan distribution wife is not in his eyes." ”
"As a concubine, she doesn't take the Yuan Pei main room in her eyes, and no one has reached this point in her eyes, so she must be a big anomaly in her eyes." Wei Changying said lightly, "If the third uncle is so old and confused, he will take this wisp of eyes and give him soberness!" ”
Wei Changying said this lightly, and he didn't take the matter of gouging out his eyes to heart at all, and Zhu Yi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard it! The awe of this young lady deepened.
Huang smiled and said: "What the young lady said is that this wisp is something, but she relied on her young beauty to win the favor of the third old lady, and she became like this rashly, it is simply looking for her own death!" The third old lady is very old, and it is because of this negligence that he connived at her to be so rude! ”
…… These three uncles do not belong to the lord line like Shen Xun, although they are not as obviously disgusted with Wei Changying as the father of the previous Xiliang Thorn History, but they are not close.
Originally, after Wei Changying seized power, as long as he didn't come out and make mistakes, he didn't bother to kill them all.
But now that he knows that Shen Youjia has a grudge against him, and he also wants to take revenge very much - Shen Youjia, who is low in rank but loyal, and is still her husband's right-hand man, and the third uncle who is high in rank but lukewarm and useless, Wei Changying doesn't have to think about it, so he naturally chose Shen Youjia.
Shen Youjia wanted to take revenge, but he had enough reasons, but he just had no reason, and Wei Changying would also ask someone for him.
As for Shen Youjia, he didn't say anything for his brother Shen Youyi when he came over this time...... Wei Changying said lightly: "Since he trusts his husband, he will not panic because Shen Youyi has done something wrong, and he will be busy asking for guilt, but he is afraid that he will be held accountable for delay." This person can stay in the position of lieutenant for more than ten years, and he really has his own hills and valleys in his chest. ”
Huang said: "What the young lady said is that just by looking at the matter of Wei'er, you know that Shen Duwei seems to be rude, but he actually knows everything. ”
The entire plan to destroy Qiu Di Dadan Yu Mu Xiuer was led by Shen Zangfeng and assisted by Shen Youjia. Now that the goal has been achieved, Shen Zangfeng's prestige has reached a higher level, and it has come to the time to officially inquire about the affairs of the clan, completely confirm the name of the next lord, and grasp the real power in the clan.
Even if Shen Youjia doesn't come to ask for Meiji, when Shen Zangfeng returns to Xiliang City, he will definitely take over the power of Ming Peitang in person, purge the upper and lower levels, cultivate cronies, and eliminate dissidents...... Shen Youjia just gave an introduction, and took this opportunity to avenge his revenge back then.
…… It is even possible that after all these years, Shen Youjia didn't care about this grievance back then, but he looked at what Shen Zangfeng was going to do next, and deliberately contributed an introduction.
All in all, even if the remnants of Qiudi Da Shan Yu Fu Xu, Ugu Meng and Ayita Hu still exist in the world, they are all seriously damaged, and they still have to compete with each other for the position of Da Dan - the foreign enemy is too busy to take care of himself for a while, and the border can always be stable for a while. And less than two years have passed since the three years of going to the border to make contributions, and the remaining more than a year, will Shen Zangfeng still be able to spend his leisure time eating, drinking and having fun in Mingpei Hall?
In the past, the Wei Chang Ying seized power, but it was just to stabilize the rear for her husband, so that Shen Zangfeng would not only have to fight with Mu Xiuer, but also have to be distracted to deal with the calculations of the clan. As a woman, even if Wei Changying is nominally in the family of Ming Peitang, the things she can manage are limited. But since Shen Zangfeng had his hands free, there was nothing to stop him from asking.
Wei Changying leaned on the soft couch and squinted slightly, thinking about what he knew about the situation in the clan......
