Chapter 12: The Future
When I returned to the mansion from the palace, it was already twilight, and my wife Wei Hongshi was serving, helping Wei Liaoweng, who was preoccupied, to take off his official clothes and cotton robes.
"Official, why do you look a little unhappy!"
After many years of husband and wife, Wei's wife asked in surprise.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, her husband was worried every day. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hong ascended the throne, and her husband was still so anxious.
"The state is busy, and someone has to do it. There are Wu Qian and Zhao Shanxiang staring at the Sailor School, and I am the only one over there in Jinling. ”
Wei Liaoweng glanced at the quiet lobby, it was silent, there was no trace, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"What about those two bastards?"
Needless to say, a pair of children of the divine beast are not at home.
"You, the father of the father, call his children like that? The fool went outside to relax. Sisi went to Yujin Garden to see the forbidden army practicing martial arts. Don't worry, there are people following. ”
After Wei's wife finished speaking, she glanced at her husband.
Wei Liaoweng had four children, two sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Wei Jinsi, travels all over the world and likes to be free. The eldest daughter married An Gongxing, the son of An Bing, the former Sichuan Xuanfu envoy. The remaining son and daughter were young and unmarried.
The second son, Wei Jinyu, is a well-known gentleman in Lin'an City, idle, fighting, and having nothing to do. The second daughter, Wei Sisi, likes to dance with guns and sticks, is sixteen years old, and has not yet been allowed to marry others, and is already a famous old daughter in Lin'an City.
"One travels all over the world, the other eats, drinks and has fun, and these two are losers! My Pujiang Wei Gao's face has been lost to them! ”
Wei Liaoweng slapped the table hatefully, and finally came out.
"You see his cousin Gao Side, who is the same age as him, is full of poetry and books, and has a reputation in the township, and will be very successful in the imperial examination in the future. What a non-competitive thing! ”
"That's someone else's child, what's there to envy. Zhen Dexiu's son has not returned from Fujian as a fugitive, and he can't persuade him to go back. Shi Mi is far from being invincible, his son is still an important member of the imperial court, how is it now? The second son was to be put to death, and the other two were to be reduced to untouchables. Although the second brother is not angry, and Sisi is naughty, they are filial and disproportionate. It's good that the family is safe. ”
Wei's wife retorted dissatisfiedly, and she was still very emotional.
"A loving mother has many defeated children. You just get used to it, sooner or later you will regret it! ”
Wei Liaoweng held back the anger in his heart and waved his hand impatiently.
"You help me pack my clothes, I'm going to Jinling, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
When it came to the trip to Jinling City, Wei Liaoweng's heart couldn't help but tighten again.
"It's about to be the New Year, what are you going to Jinling for now? You're not going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors? ”
Wei's wife asked in surprise.
It is already the beginning of the lunar month, and it seems too hasty to go to Jinling at this time.
"The emperor's decree is a big matter, and he may not be able to come back for a few months and a half. If you want to worship your ancestors, just wait for Qingming or next year. There are two little ancestors in the family, and it is all up to you to take care of them. ”
When the emperor's decree was mentioned, Wei Liaoweng's heart was heavy and a little excited.
"The new emperor of the official family ascends the throne, and the New Year will not be passed!"
Wei's wife muttered dissatisfied.
"In the future, don't call the official, call the emperor. The emperor wants to make every effort to govern the country, this is a major event in the court, be cautious! ”
Wei Liaoweng's black face was another sentence, and he was worried.
"You said you were loyal, and you were still a soldier at the end of the day. You look at the real virtue show of others, and you are in the same department, and now you are the head of the household and the governor of the political affairs. The new emperor will look for you when he uses it, and you won't have your share in promotion. It's unfair! ”
Wei's wife was upset for Wei's hug.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The emperor was eloquent and far-sighted. He reused me and kept me busy, but I was at ease. If you do something, the emperor will naturally look at it. ”
Wei Liaoweng felt a little proud in his heart. Don't look at Zhende Xiurong as the governor of political affairs, talk about important things such as martial arts, but he has nothing to do.
"Also, your official reputation is so good, you will definitely be promoted by the emperor. Without Shi Miyuan, it's time for you and Zhendexiu to turn over! ”
Wife Wei nodded and said happily.
Shi Miyuan was in power, and Wei Liaoweng, Zhen Dexiu, Hu Mengyu and other clear streams became water and fire, Wei Liaoweng took care of Zhao Hong a lot, Wei Liaoweng is very likely to go further, and even participating in politics and worshipping the prime minister is unknown.
"You, east and west, you've said all the words!"
Wei Liweng chuckled softly.
"The new emperor is very ambitious, and as soon as he ascends the throne, he asked me to go to Jinling to prepare for the lecture hall and the university hall. Divine grace of the Son of Heaven, can I not do my best? ”
For the trip to Jinling, Wei Liaoweng couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Not only do things, but also pay attention to personal bones."
Wei's wife paused, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously.
"Xianggong, Shi Miyuan is really ...... Finished? ”
"Is that still fake? People were thrown into the prison of Dali Temple, their homes were raided, they were beaten in prison every day, they couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well. The new emperor is merciful, let the net open one side, or it will be all over the house! ”
After Wei Liaoweng finished speaking, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
Jiao Zhao deposed the prince and set up a new monarch, he really thought that Zhao Hong was Han Yanxuan, and he could repeat his old tricks?
"Xindi can really pretend!"
Wei's wife shook her head and sighed.
"The new emperor is thoughtful, forbearant and resolute. Shi Miyuan wanted to calculate him, but he didn't expect to be preempted by him and killed with one blow. killed Xia Zhen and got rid of Shi Miyuan, and Empress Dowager Yang was like a waste. I was so amazed that I couldn't guess him. ”
Wei Liaoweng sighed faintly.
In fact, he really wanted to know, how did Zhao Hong anticipate the enemy first and lay out early? Could it be that he has the ability to be a prophet of the unknown?
"If you want me to say, it's better to play the first emperor's chess. If there is no edict, no matter how great the new emperor is, I am afraid it will not be easy to ascend the throne. No one obeys him! ”
Wei's wife's whisper made Wei Liaoweng stunned and nodded slightly.
The first emperor Zhao Kuo, a lifelong nest, finally understood it at the end.
"There's some truth to what you're saying, but don't take it out."
Wei Liaoweng reminded his wife seriously.
Royal affairs, hyped up, are not good after all, and may even cause unexpected trouble.
"Official...... Since the emperor had arrested Shi Miyuan, why didn't he execute him immediately? In case of a resurgence......"
When it came to Shi Miyuan, Wei's wife immediately became unconfident, and even a little worried.
"Feng Shu was promoted, Xia Zhen, Xu Yi and Huang Yan were killed, Xia Gui was arrested, everyone in Shi Miyuan and his party was in danger, and it was too late to protect themselves, who would dare to make a mistake? Can he still turn the sky upside down? ”
Wei Liaoweng snorted disdainfully, stood up, put on a cotton robe, and stopped again.
"I'll go to the study and get some things ready. When the two uneasy ancestors come back, let them come to see me in the study. ”
After talking to his wife for a few words, Wei Liaoweng's mood was much more relaxed.
Shi Miyuan's party collapsed, the new emperor was ambitious, and the Great Song Dynasty was expected.
Moreover, the son does not seem to be so unbearable.
Wei Liaoweng was about to leave, and his eyes seemed to see something, and he suddenly stopped, approached his wife, and looked at the top of her head.
"Madam, why haven't I seen this gold-inlaid hosta on your head?"
"You, you know that you're busy with court affairs all day long, why do you care about this?"
Wei's wife pulled out the hosta and said with a smile on her face:
"This was given by the eldest sister when she came last month, and there are more than a dozen Shu brocades, which is said to be a piece of the eldest aunt's heart."
Wei Liaoweng is a native of Sichuan, and his eldest daughter is married to the second son of An Bing, the former Sichuan envoy, and the current Tongchuan Fu Road Transit Envoy An Gongxing.
"More than a dozen Shu brocades, what a big hand!"
Wei Liaoweng was startled at first, and then sneered.
"Today, the emperor also talked about the fact that the Sichuan scholars were united and ironclad. Your uncle is greedy and arrogant, and he takes it by force, and the people of Sichuan are boiling with resentment. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he will surely clarify the rule of officials and punish corruption. If he doesn't rein in, it's too late to regret it! ”
Every inch of gold is gold, and the shot is more than a dozen horses, which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. There is also this hosta, which is exquisitely carved, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
This An Gongxing, except for greedy ink, how could he be so generous?
"What then? It won't involve your uncles and brothers, will it? ”
Wei Liaoweng was serious, and Wei's wife was also nervous.
The Wei Gao family in Pujiang, Sichuan, and most of Wei Liaoweng's cousins are high-ranking officials in Sichuan, and they are deeply rooted in Sichuan.
Brother Gao Shutai, Zhizhou, Lizhou, Sichuan.
Brother Gao Jia, Lizhou West Road Zhizhou Zhizhou.
Brother Gao Dingzi, the head of the Sichuan Consulate General.
Clan brother Wei Wenweng, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan Province.
Wei Liaoweng's son-in-law An Gongxing, the transfer envoy of Tongchuan Road.
And An Gongxing's brother An Huizhong, Sichuan made the driver Yi text.
The Pujiang Wei Gao clan is so powerful in Sichuan, no wonder the emperor is so jealous.
"My Wei Gao clan is very strict, they won't have an accident, there is no need to worry. However, Wei Gao's reign in Sichuan was too prosperous, and the emperor would inevitably transfer some people to the court or serve in other places. ”
Wei Liaoweng shook his head, his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.
Having said that, he still sent a letter to warn the younger generation of the family not to do anything rebellious.
From the emperor's words, it can be heard that the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road is the first step, and the next step is Sichuan. And it seems that the emperor paid special attention to the border defense of Sichuan.
"That's good, as long as nothing happens. Wei Gao's family style is upheld, and it won't be anything if you think about it. ”
Wife Wei said, nervous again.
"What about my uncle?"
"What can I do, cold salad! All go back! By the way, go and write a letter to the eldest sister, and ask her to knock on your good uncle. It's okay to be corrupt, if he has other crimes, that is, if he doesn't do it, no one can save him, and he doesn't want to pull our Wei family! ”
Wei Liaoweng threw out a few words of Zhao Hong's mantra and hurried out of the hall with a black face.
"If you don't do it, you won't die? Is it that powerful? He's your uncle, too! ”
Wei's wife was stunned for a moment, and shouted at Wei Liaoweng's back.
The new emperor has just ascended the throne and should ignore these things. Besides, when did Da Song investigate corruption?
"Don't be verbose! Listen to me, and go back quickly, so as not to get burned when the time comes. I don't feel at ease with their stuff! ”
Wei Liaoweng waved his hand, and soon the figure disappeared.
"It's a pity that there are so many good things!"
Wei's wife shook her head and muttered a sentence in her mouth.
Wei Liaoweng said yes, or went back, and told his daughter and son-in-law again.
The emperor is so important, and he doesn't let him have a good New Year, I don't know what the big deal is?
However, listening to her husband's meaning, Shi Miyuan is completely finished, and she no longer has to worry about her husband.
