Chapter 165: Operation of the Wei Family
"Clan Elder, just now the guards in the palace escorted Wei Yuancheng to the Criminal Department, and His Majesty ordered no one to visit." The official of the Wei family briefly said what happened
"That's good." Wei Renji was a little panicked.
Wei Ting, who was on the side, thought for a while and said to Wei Renji, "Tell Wang Wan the news first, let Wang Wan visit the prison, and then go to the queen mother."
At the very least, don't let people be punished, otherwise Wei Yuan will not be able to bear it at all. If you go to find Wei Guifei, you still have to be reliable at the critical moment.
You also saw it just now, they are all self-sweeping snow in front of the door, I offended Wei Guifei a few days ago, it is not appropriate to go, go to Wei Siyan and their brothers.
They are closest to Wei Guifei, let them go and make peace with Wei Guifei, it is best to catch King Ji directly.
I heard that they went to King Ji's mansion, and King Ji treated them with courtesy. If they are sincere to Wei Siqi, they will agree, even if it is to pass on a word. ”
Wei Ting, who is also a clan elder, is a representative of Chang'an, and he must know more than Wei Renji.
Wei Ting and Wei Renji are not in the same room, they are only relatives in Wufu, and they happen to be the fifth generation.
"Okay, that's it. You go and inform Wang Wan, I'll go find the four brothers Wei Siyan," Wei Renji said to Wei Ting. After that, the two of them began to act. Wei Yuanquan is his own nephew, and he must be more anxious than others.
-------------------
Wei Siyan is the third brother, Wei Siyan, Wei Siqi, Wei Siren, and Wei Guanzi Sili is the son of their third uncle and belongs to cousins. Recently, the life of the four brothers can be described as quite nourishing. Every month, each person is credited with 10,000 yuan.
In the old mansion of Yun Gongfang, the four brothers were drinking tea in Wei Siyan's study.
"Da Lang, the Wei Renji clan is old." The housekeeper came to report to Wei Siyan
"Big brother, what is the clan elder doing?" Wei Siqi was a little puzzled, since the last time Wei Guifei and Wei Ting had an unpleasant quarrel, he has not been in contact with the two of them.
"Why, I guess let's go to the eldest sister to help with errands. The eldest sister is right, they are all selfish. "Wei Guan is young and more straightforward.
"Fourth brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, no matter what, we are all Wei family. Come with me to meet you," said Wei Siyan, getting up and walking out the door
Wait for Wei Siyan and others to welcome Wei Renji to the front hall and sit down, and order his subordinates to serve tea. Wei Siyan was the first to speak: "I don't know what Uncle Clan's orders are when he comes today?" ”
Wei Renji took a sip of tea, smelling it fragrant, and drinking it was even sweeter. "Good tea, I think in addition to a few national mansions in the outside world, there is also this kind of tea in your mansion."
"What Uncle Clan said is that this tea was given to our brothers by the eldest sister. I heard the eldest sister say that this tea is the tribute tea of King Ji's mansion. The annual production is too small. And the production is cumbersome and the cost is too high, so it is not sold to the public.
Those few princes' mansions were also rewarded by His Majesty, and there were not many in King Ji's mansion. Most of the annual tribute tea is in the hands of the eldest sister, specially provided for His Majesty to drink. ”
Wei Siyan said with a hint of pride, Wei Guifei gave each of them a catty, and told them to save some drinks and give them them later.
"Oh, this is tribute tea, no wonder it's different from the first-class tea I bought. I heard Wei Ting say that this tea is one or two tea leaves and one or two gold," Wei Renji asked curiously
Wei Siyan didn't know what Wei Renji meant, not to mention the matter of studying tea. However, he still said: "Yes, this tea is produced in the deep mountains of Nanzhao Kingdom.
It is very troublesome to pick and make, and the clan uncle should also say that there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains of Nanzhao, and the locals are reluctant to enter the mountain, so King Ji can only pay a high price to invite people, plus the road is far away. So King Ji only gets a little bit every year. ”
"Hey, King Ji will enjoy it." As he spoke, Wei Renji took another sip of tea.
Wei Siyan and they are not stupid, seeing that Wei Renji does not enter the whole topic, they don't answer, Wei Renji can only say when he sees this temperament: "I have one thing here that I need your help with." "No way, I still want to have a say. But people didn't give them a chance, so they had to have a better attitude.
"What does the clan uncle tell me that we brothers have been taken care of by the clan for so many years. If we can do it, our brothers will do our best. Wei Siyan said with a straight face. Anyway, what can be done and what can't be done is up to them.
Of course, Wei Renji heard the meaning of Wei Siyan's words, and he didn't want to go around in any circle, and said bluntly: "I just received the news that Wei Yuanquan was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and we hope that Siyan can go to the concubine Niangniang to plead for mercy to see if Wei Yuanquan can be released." ”
Wei Renji did not tell the assassination as Wei Ting said, and he still reported some fantasies. If Wei Yuanquan is rescued in time, before he says everything. Isn't everyone all right here?
"Uncle clan, what did Wei Yuanzhen commit, it was so serious that he had to go to the Criminal Department." Wei Siyan is not a fool, although Wei Siyan has not entered the officialdom.
But as the eldest son and grandson of Yun Gongfang, he is the person responsible for managing Yun Gongfang.
"Hey~~~ Wei Yuanquan offended King Ji. Siyan, Wei Yuanquan's position as the history of Tongzhou is very important, and it is also very important to our Wei family. So you help me go and talk to the concubine. Wei Renji pretended to be sad and said
"It's okay to pass on a word, but the clan uncle should know that according to the etiquette system, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. So it's hard to say whether the eldest sister can help or not.
And we can't enter the palace, you know, we can only let people pass a message in. Wei Siyan knew that this matter was not trivial, so he made it clear in advance.
"Well, I know that. This matter mainly depends on what King Ji means, as long as the concubine Niangniang tells King Ji and asks him to let Wei Yuan go.
With King Ji's obedient attitude towards Wei Guifei, this thing will definitely be done. When the time comes, if King Ji doesn't pursue it, His Majesty will let Wei Yuancheng go. Wei Renji is still making small calculations.
"Oh well. I'll write a letter to someone to send to the palace. Wei Siyan stood up as he spoke.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Send someone to inform me of any news. Wei Renji also got up and said goodbye with interest.
After sending Wei Renji away, several people returned to the study. As soon as he entered the house, the youngest Westley, said, "Big brother, we shouldn't care about this matter.
Wei Yuanquan is a member of the Tongzhou Assassination Party, and since His Majesty has put him in prison, it means that what he has committed must be not small.
Why make it difficult for the eldest sister. Now that the eldest sister has just had some status in the harem, we shouldn't make trouble for her. ”
"Fourth brother, how can I not know these truths, but after all, we are members of the Wei family. The big tree of the Wei family can still shelter from the wind and rain.
We just need to pass on Wei Renji's words to the eldest sister. "Wei Siyan is not stupid, their biggest backer now is Wei Guifei.
