Luoyang, western suburbs.

Shangyang Palace, outside the Manna Hall in the northwest corner.

A female officer in a colorful dress with a mole on the corner of her mouth and four female musicians were trotting into the majestic gate of the Manna Hall with a group of musicians.

The sound of footsteps stood out in the straight silent corridor of the palace.

Wei Wangwei's gaze was withdrawn from this group of young musicians who were docile and bowed their heads.

Turn your head to look at the autumn forest scenery of Beiqi Mountain in the distance again.

He was dressed in a purple python suit, and he was standing on a high platform not far from the Ganlu Temple, resting and watching the scenery, and his palm gently patted the white stone lion railing in front of him.

In the manna hall behind him, there were faint sounds of a lot of melodious pianos.

Wei Jihei turned his head from time to time and glanced at a hundred-foot golden-bodied Buddha not far from the Ganlu Palace.

This golden Buddha is almost the same life as the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is the year when the saint changed the name of the country and ascended the throne, he and Wang Brother Wei Sixing jointly proposed to build, and they personally supervised the construction.

After a while, the female officer in the colorful dress with a mole on the corner of her mouth who had just escorted a team of musicians into the Manna Hall withdrew from the Manna Palace.

When passing by the viewing platform, Wei Jiji came back to his senses and glanced at her.

The lady in colorful clothes turned around, walked up to the high platform, and saluted slightly:

"Lord, the pre-imperial meeting has not yet arrived, you are early, and the other princes and ministers have not yet arrived."

Wei Jiji nodded and asked, "How can Your Majesty be interested in appreciating the sound of the piano?" ”

The female official in the colorful dress who embellished the popular plum blossom makeup in the palace lowered her eyes and explained softly:

"The saint has always liked the qin music here in Shangyang Palace, and when he had a headache in the past, he would come and listen to the qin music, and the headache would be relieved a little.

"A few days ago, I didn't listen to it for a while, and recently the sage read it again, but the old musician who was the favorite of the sage in the past has left the palace in his early years because of his old age and regression in skills...... I will order the female officials of the Sile to recruit a new batch and select those with exquisite skills to test the palace......"

Wei Jihei shook his head when he heard this:

"There is also a group of musicians in this palace, and someone will be sent in the afternoon, and Lingzhen Nushi will also take a look at it to see if there is any piano sound that His Majesty likes."

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is tired."

The face of the female official in the colorful dress named Lingzhen Nushi did not change.

Wei Jiji waved his hand:

"You and I are all worried about Your Majesty, Your Majesty's most able to listen to the words of Rong Zhennu Shi is not here, Lingzhen Nushi must take good care of Your Majesty, don't let Your Majesty be tired of state affairs."

"It's incumbent."

At this moment, a figure in a purple-red python suit appeared not far away, as if he saw the figure of Wei Jihei waiting on the viewing platform, so he walked slowly towards this side.

Wei Jiji turned around and looked at the royal brother.

The Lingzhen Female History on the side, I don't know when, has disappeared, and there is no trace of the two Wei princes who are interested.

"Brother Wang came so early?"

Wei Sixing raised his hand and said hello.

Wei Jihe's face was expressionless, and he glanced at Brother Wang, who often smiled at the corners of his mouth, he didn't say hello, and said directly:

"Brother Wang knows about the matter over there in Jiangzhou? There is also Shaoqi's letter, Brother Wang also read it, right? ”

Wei Sixing nodded with a smile.

Wei Jiji had a cold face, turned his head and said:

"Shaoqi is like me, the words are very rushed, it is really inappropriate, there are some things, where can he, a junior boy, question it, is it possible that Brother Wang can not think more than him? It's just an axe, if you really give him some sunshine, he will shine, and I won't send him out next time...... Or the king will call him back, hang him up and let the king whip him, and let him learn a lesson. ”

Wei Sixing saw that this Wang brother was tilted his head the whole time he spoke, observing the distant scenery without looking at him.

He couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said:

"How can it be so serious, it's all my own family, Shaoqi's nephew's temperament, this king still likes it, I heard the people below, he took good care of An Hui, very protective of the short, this king is not dissatisfied, not to mention, children, a little newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's momentum is good."

Wei Jihei's face softened slightly, he looked at his younger brother who was smiling lightly, and said for no reason:

"Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and you have a leisure time to enjoy the piano music."

Wei Sixing glanced at the manna hall where the music of the bamboo orchestra faintly came from not far away, and said quietly:

"Is it because of the Jiangzhou song that was rushed to the palace last night? Si Tianjian Xia Guan Lingtai Lang Lin Cheng presented? ”

Wei Jiji nodded imperceptibly, and said in a cold voice:

"Wait for the Imperial Council...... Your Majesty will ask for opinions, Brother Wang should think about how to answer first, well, it's better to tell Brother Wei in advance now, and Brother Wei will listen to you. ”

Wei Sixing's face changed slightly, and he immediately shook his head: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about?" It's me who follows Brother Wang, Brother Wang, don't torture the younger brother1."

Wei Jihei was noncommittal, and seemed to snort softly in a nasal voice:

"Oh? Yes, but now many people below are spreading some rumors, and this king also thinks it is not unreasonable. ”

"What gossip?" Wei Sixing answered.

"There are a few people who love to spread rumors and make trouble, Brother Wang's Liang Wangfu has some different opinions on the route of my Wei Wangfu, and now those who are attached to our Wei clan are all tied up, and they are looking forward and backward towards the Qianzong family in various places, as if they are afraid of misunderstanding the meaning of our brothers......"

Wei Sixing looked at his brother's expression for a while, and sighed:

"Brother Wang, I also read Shaoqi's nephew's letter, and I understand Shaoqi's nephew's grievances.

"But...... There are some things that we must think about in advance, and we can't just go in and retreat. Brother, I sometimes look back, looking at the great business that our Wei family has accumulated all the way over the years, I always feel that I am trembling and walking on thin ice, and the taste is no better than those old ministers who are miserable and miserable......

"Brother Wang, we have to properly learn those five surnames and seven hopes, although now there is no such power as our Wei family, but these Zhong Ming Ding Food Families, which can last for hundreds of years, naturally have their survival principles, and the tragic lessons of dying families and surnames, such as the fruit of a tree, not a basket...... We have to learn with an open mind. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Sixing paused, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Over there in Jiangzhou, the situation is very delicate and complicated, the King of Xunyang has left the idle family, and his majesty has been reinstated from Longcheng, which is already an obvious signal, this is not only a warning to our family, but also a warning to the king of Xiang.

"Not long ago, His Majesty let the King of Xunyang serve as the governor of Jiangnan, and acquiesced to the governor of Xinjiang, Shi Ouyang Lianghan, who presided over the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha, which is already obvious, Ouyang Lianghan can be promoted to the youngest long history of the Great Zhou from the five grades, but it is not just a 'southeast pearl' that can be explained, Your Majesty is using this son as a layer of protection lock for Xunyang Palace, as for why the protection ......"

"Don't take a gamble, don't be single-minded...... This truth is understood by the king, but the king brother has inevitably retreated too much, it was before, and now it is now, the situation is not static, now the southwest rebellion, the Jiangzhou Donglin Giant Buddha at the forefront has not been completed for a long time, these are our good situation, can make a difference. ”

Wei Jihei's tone was quite serious, and he said with a serious face:

"Now the relocation of the Donglin Giant Buddha in Jiangzhou, between Lin Cheng and Xunyang Wangfu, who does Brother Wang choose, Brother Wang, don't forget, Lin Cheng is the future son-in-law you picked."

Wei Sixing was also very emotional:

"Where would this king have thought that this Lin Cheng was so unexpected and could create such a situation, he still underestimated this."

A smile appeared on Wei Jihe's face:

"Everyone has the ambition to climb up, what is rare is to figure out the sacred heart, not some bullshit hypocritical worry about the people and the country, it is to be able to share the worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the country, this son is beautiful and promising.

"This king used to look down on him, and felt that it was cheaper for the Wei family to marry him, but now I feel that it is not a loss at all, this son is not inferior to Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan, this big dowry, our Wei family took it.

"Well, if Brother Wang is not satisfied with him, just give it to this king, I also have a daughter who has not left the pavilion in the Wei Palace."

Wess spoke.

Wei Jiji suddenly said again:

"Shaoqi said in the letter that Xunyang Wangfu secretly contacted the Qin family, and before Shaoqi went, he was ready to promote the marriage between Fusu and the daughter of the Qin family, this matter, Brother Wang should know, hehe, this Xunyang Wangfu is not as honest as Brother Wang imagined, easy to deal with, and it is also ambitious, this Ouyang Lianghan can't say that he also wants to be the second master.

"And Ouyang Lianghan is Xie Xun's disciple, Xie Xun and Di Fuzi are close, they are all the old-fashioned things that restore the unification of the Qian, I heard that the Lixian family trusts Ouyang Lianghan very much, and this son will inevitably not blow the wind of returning to the Qiantong in the ears of Lixian.

"Brother Wang, our Wei clan is the clan of the Great Zhou, not the clan of the Great Qian, you have to figure it out."

When Wei Sixing heard this, he fell silent.

Wei Jiji glanced at his contemplative face, and said in a light tone:

Shaoqi's tone was very impulsive this time, and there was also a reason why Fusu dared to get involved with the daughter of the Qin family, so what did Brother Wang say about this, do you want this king to let Shaoqi let him? Bear with me? ”

Wei Sixing immediately said: "Brother Wang, where is this, my Wei's son-in-law is naturally stronger than Li's son-in-law." ”

After speaking, he muttered again:

"Over there in Jiangzhou, how is the case overturned?"

Seeing that Brother Wang's attitude was shaken, Wei Jihei immediately said: "Everything is going well, this time with Lin Cheng here, I can grasp more." ”

Wei Sixing was quiet for a long time.

Only then did he sigh and nodded:

"It's all up to Brother Wang's arrangement, and this king has no objection."

Wei Jiji suddenly showed a bright smile, patted his younger brother on the shoulder of the reunited brother, he took a deep breath of the cool autumn wind on the high platform, and stretched out his hand to point to the golden-bodied Buddha not far away:

"Sixing, let's play again, and deter these Xiaoxiao.

"I still remember that at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the golden-bodied Buddha that cost us countless manpower and material resources fell, there was no longer any power and noise inside and outside the palace that could seriously threaten Your Majesty and our Wei family!

"Wait, wait until the case of Zhu Lingxu's father and son is overturned, Songde Tianshu and the Sifang Buddha are all completed, first behead the clown of Li Zhengyan in the southwest, and have Tianshu and the Big Buddha in charge, after that, in the north and south of the world, there is no longer a voice that dares to talk about the Wei family, so let them dare to be angry and dare not speak! Let the Great Zhou Dynasty be forever solid, and nail the coffin boards of these remnants of the dry sins! ”

Turning his head to look at his brother's proud expression, Wei Sixing nodded slowly.

"Good. Brother Wang's ambition to win, color! ”

Suddenly, he suggested:

"But this time Lin Cheng's matter, our Wei clan should not interfere too much, at least not on the surface, at most, Brother Wang, as the governor and envoy, can nominate him, and later the imperial meeting, we can also speak for him, but we can't be involved in the battle of leaving the guard, so it is in line with Your Majesty's wishes."

Wei Jihei thoughtfully: "Brother Wang means ......"

Wei Sixing lowered his head and patted his sleeve, and his tone was indifferent:

"Anyway, we are dedicated to the public, only mentioning the serious matter of building statues, only for the sake of His Majesty and the Great Zhou Sheji, and only for the sake of building the Jiangzhou Giant Buddha as soon as possible to quell the war in the southwest, and we are not selfish.

"So on the Xunyang Palace's side and Ouyang Lianghan's side, we don't need to speak ill, and we don't want to fight with King Xiang, Shen Xisheng and those old diehards, as long as Lin Cheng's plan is mentioned, this time the matter of Xunyang City, let Lin Cheng come by himself, at present, it seems that this son is still very reliable."

Wei Jihe's eyes lit up.

"It's still Brother Wang, who understands the Sacred Heart very well!"

Wei Sixing smiled faintly.

Just when the two kings of the Wei clan were exchanging opinions and unifying their voices, in the square in the distance, Di Fuzi, Shen Xisheng and other ministers of the political hall appeared.

Difuzi's face was calm, his old steps were steady and gentle, and he walked in front of several important ministers.

Wei Jiji glanced at Shen Xisheng's somewhat serious and eager expression from a distance, and smiled coldly:

"Ouyang Lianghan's side is really not to be outdone, as Lin Chengcheng expected, but their reaction is really fast."

The two kings of the Wei clan glanced at each other, and after a while, they stepped forward to greet them with some tacit understanding.

The two Wei princes greeted Di Fuzi, they looked kind, shouted and asked for warmth, and the atmosphere outside the hall was harmonious.

In a short time, the hour came, and the sound of the piano in the manna hall disappeared, and a row of musicians retreated.

Waiting for the princes and nobles at the door, Zhu Zixianggong entered the palace in an orderly manner and began to play.

A quarter of an hour later, a regular imperial council was held in the silent court of the western suburbs, but at the end of this imperial council and after many routine state events, a discussion of a "small matter of Jiangzhou" caused a heated debate among several parties......

After the Imperial Council.

A series of edicts were sent from Fengge to the Ministry of Officials for the first time, and then from the Ministry of Officials to Jiangzhou, which was far away in Jiangnan Province.

In the evening, Wei Jiji seemed to be in a good mood and returned to the Wei Palace, and as soon as he returned to the study, he immediately waved his hand to summon a cronie with a wooden face, and sneered and ordered:

"Send a letter to Shaoqi and let him do it on Jiangnan Road, as long as it doesn't hurt the family in Xunyang Wangfu, but be sure to cut off all the hands and feet that they shouldn't have stretched out before, and in addition, let him immediately write to his uncle Wang to apologize, and his attitude must be sincere."

"Yes, Lord Wang!"
