Chapter 147 - The Old Ancestor of the Chen Clan
Wei Jingren expressed his thoughts under the gaze of the Nine Emperor Princes, Liang Xi, and said: "The military situation in the north is a major matter of the country, and you must not act rashly, otherwise, the other factions will definitely break the current balance and regard my Wei clan as a thorn in the flesh, I think this is a situation that my father does not want to see." ”
When it came to Wei Shanhui, the pillar of the Wei family, everyone present all showed respect and convincing.
If there is no Wei Shanhui, the Wei family is at most a family of mediocre relatives, and they will be lost among thousands of families in the long river of history, at best, they will leave a line of ink in the history books.
At that time, Wei Shanhui was in the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and took advantage of his position to secretly arrest the current empress dowager, and then controlled the palace with the emperor's biological mother, and then used a forged warrant to pinch the left and right Shenwu army of the six armies of the forbidden army in his hands, and after obtaining the support of the emperor's city division, he naturally won the support of the courtiers.
After the situation became clear, the queen mother took out the edict left by the first emperor, which clearly stated that the first emperor intended that the fourth prince Liang Jue ascended the throne and became the emperor.
The fourth prince Liang Jue rightfully sat on the throne of the emperor, and he is the current emperor His Majesty Liang Heng.
In the process of the four dragons seizing the heir, the second prince Liang Lang died in the chaos of the army, and the seventh prince Liang Po was imprisoned in the palace of Zhao Wang because of the crime of disobedience to the queen mother, and then died of depression, only the eighth prince Liang Ying was still alive, and was named the king of Chu by His Majesty the emperor, enjoying the glory and wealth.
In these unknown processes, Uncle Wei Shan will make a lot of efforts, otherwise, whether His Majesty the Emperor can sit firmly on the emperor's throne is a matter of two questions.
Wei Jingren glanced at everyone's expressions and continued: "As for the matter of the forbidden army's big competition, I think some people are more anxious than us, so just wait for them to make a move, and when the time comes, we will definitely win a big victory."
Finally, there is the matter of Huainan Road, I think don't act rashly first, after all, it is the hometown of the former dynasty, and if you are not careful, you will provoke the cow ghosts and snake gods there, it is better to be careful. ”
Before the Nine Emperor Princes Liang Si could speak, Wei Yichen took the lead in speaking: "Don't let this or that, then let's just sit and wait for death?"
Wei Jingren restrained the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "We are not right, we can only wait for the opportunity to appear."
Besides, as long as we have 300,000 tiger troops in our hands, we will not be afraid of anyone's provocations and threats. ”
In the end, this fat man with a bad record was full of murderous energy.
Wei Yichen slapped the table and said, "In this case, you can tell your father the results of the discussion, and I will go back to the military camp first." ”
After that, Wei Yichen got up and left, followed by a few others.
After everyone left, only Wei Jingren and the master and servant of the Nine Emperor Princes were left in the house.
Wei Jingren said earnestly: "Nephew, do what you think, I believe you can, even if you do something wrong, it doesn't matter, our Wei is your strong backing, don't be afraid."
It's good for young people to touch the wall a few more times, it's not a loss, it's growth, after all, you won't suffer either. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes, Liang Si, snorted heavily, and then sent the infamous fat pig out of the Wu Palace.
Wei Jingren swaggered into his carriage, not afraid of being seen at all, let alone the official impeaching him for private vassal kings.
In the twilight, the ordnance supervisor on the fourth rank sat quietly in the carriage, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at a secret report in his hand with a solemn face.
The secret report is full of news from Huainan Province, from the preferences of the Yangzhou prefect to the secrets of the third-rate sects, everything is in detail, and the whole secret report is more than an inch thick.
Wei Jingren looked at it while chanting the names that appeared on it, his expression was strange and unpredictable, and it was indescribably treacherous.
By the time this secret report that had just been sent to the capital was read, Wei Jingren had already sat in the carriage for two teas, he slowly put down the paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that I, as an uncle, have to give a big gift to my nephew, otherwise, I really can't stand him." ”
Wei Jingren did not go back to the Wei Mansion where the four generations were in the same house, nor did he go to his private residence, but took a carriage to the Shendu Garden, which ordinary people rarely visited.
Shendu Garden is a royal garden, east to Miyagi, west to the Xiao River, north to the mountain, south to the mountain, valley water, Luoshui confluence in the middle. The famous flowers and fairy grass in the garden, the bamboo and weeping willows, the strange mountains and stones, the rare birds and ancient beasts, are full of it.
It took less than half an hour to get from King Wu's Mansion to Shendu Garden, and when the carriage stopped at the Wangchun Gate of Shendu Garden, Wei Jingren, who was snoring like thunder, happened to wake up.
The henchman who drove the car said softly: "My lord, Wangchun Gate has arrived." ”
Wei Jingren asked, "Have they already arrived?" If they do, they can go in directly. ”
"Yes. ”
The carriage moved slowly again, heading in the direction of the Wangchun Palace in the Shendu Garden.
After a short half of the tea, the carriage stopped, and Wei Jingren, who was full of belly, lifted the corner of the curtain and saw another carriage parked not far ahead, without any emblems outside the carriage, if he hadn't rushed to Wu Wangfu to meet with those people, he should have finished talking with the person in the carriage at this time.
The guy in the carriage was not a local, but a dragon from the south of the Yangtze River, and even the Wei family, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, did not want to collide with it.
The one Wei Jingren is about to see is a pillar of the Chen family of the former dynasty, and the only remaining ancestor of the Chen family.
Wei Jingren rubbed his fat cheeks, tore the coat on his body a few times, and swayed himself to get out of the carriage.
After Wei Jingren got out of the carriage, the carriage bounced upward, as if a person who had been bent over by a heavy object straightened his back.
Wei Jingren came to the ordinary carriage, and a handsome and elegant man in a cyan robe also came to the carriage.
It was obviously a clear and cloudless night, but the man in Tsing Yi held an oil-paper umbrella painted with the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River in his hand.
The man in Tsing Yi smiled lightly at Wei Jingren, which was regarded as a greeting, and then stretched out his hand and signaled, "Please let Mr. Wei get in the car." ”
Wei Jingren didn't look like he had a honey-bellied sword in the past, and said with a smile sincerely: "I haven't seen Brother Chen for a long time, and he is still so personable, I really envy me and wait." ”
If this kind of scene is seen by others, it will definitely drop its jaw, who doesn't know that Wei Jingren, the fat pig, is the most ruthless, who doesn't know that this Lord Wei is a smiling tiger, and now he is so polite and sincere to this foreigner, it is really a little unexpected.
However, even if the Wei family is in power, it is not comparable to the Chen family, which has a history of hundreds of years, not to mention that Wei Jingren does not account for half of the words in what he talks about today.
The man in Tsing Yi just smiled faintly and ignored Wei Jingren's greetings.
Wei Jingren didn't feel annoyed either, and went straight to the carriage.
When Wei Jingren stepped into the carriage, the carriage sank down slightly, and even the northland horse pulling the carriage couldn't help but neigh in a low voice.
When Wei Jingren sat in the carriage, he looked at the layout in the carriage, and then bowed to the old man in front of him with white hair and an indifferent face, and said in a respectful tone: "The kid has something to delay, please don't blame Old Chen." ”
The old man smiled kindly, the gas on his body became more and more dusty, and said softly: "It's already good sincerity that you can come alone, and the rest of the things are not important."
I'm already so old, it's okay to wait, I'm afraid that you young people will do something wrong in a hurry, and in the end you will make a mess out of control. ”
Wei Jingren was reprimanded neither softly nor hard, still smiling, as if he didn't know what to be angry about.
The old man continued: "Do you know the purpose of my visit to Beijing?
The old man is one of the highest-ranking clan elders of the Chen family, named Chen Boyu, and is the grandfather of the current Chen clan patriarch.
If Chen Guo is not dead, this old man is the emperor of Chen State, the king of the world.
The fat on Wei Jingren's cheeks trembled a few times, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, let's talk about it, otherwise the kid won't come alone, right?"
"Oh?" Chen Boyu invisibly aggravated his tone and asked, "What do you think we should talk about?"
Wei Jingren said respectfully: "For the losses caused by the Chen family, the younger generations will compensate ten times, and all those who have participated in the encirclement and suppression operation will be executed." Is that okay?"
Chen Boyu snorted and said slowly: "This is a bit of a good conversation." ”
Wei Jingren smiled lightly and said: "The juniors know their catties, and they don't dare to have any perfunctory, so they just ask the seniors to raise their noble hands and let the kid go once." ”
Chen Boyu didn't answer whether he wanted to let Wei Jingren go, but asked, "Where did you get the news about the Chen clan's hidden treasure house?"
"What? Is there really a treasure house?" Wei Jingren looked at the old man in front of him with a surprised face, and hissed: "Old Chen, did you leave Jiangnan this time just to find the treasure house? Could it be that the treasure house is in the north? Please give Chen Lao a chance, the kid is willing to serve." ”
"Oh?" Chen Boyu was amused by Wei Jingren's unreasonable hand, and asked with a strange expression: "Aren't you kid afraid that the Chen clan will overthrow the Liang clan after getting the treasure?"
Wei Jingren smiled treacherously and said in a low voice: "Old Chen said that he was joking, the kid has also read books for a few years. Now in a peaceful and prosperous era, although the officials of the imperial court are corrupt, they have not yet touched the foundation of the empire, and the people's lives are not rich, but they can still have food and clothing, and no one is willing to overthrow the current court and meet another unknown rule. Are you right?"
Chen Boyu smiled and praised sincerely: "People say that Wei Shan will be both wise and brave, but I want to say that you Wei Jingren is better than the blue, not only has first-class intelligence, but also has the best cultivation, which is really rare."
It's just that I'm curious, why did you hide it for so many years when you have both civil and military skills, and why did you deliberately do those evil things to be a notorious villain?"
Wei Jingren smiled and said: "Elder Chen can see it, in fact, the answer is very simple, instead of being a flawless person who is jealous and disgusted with self-defense, it is better to be a wicked person, which can not only make oneself live freely, but also make the enemy fearful, and it can be counted in one fell swoop." ”
Chen Boyu muttered: "I didn't expect you to think so clearly at a young age, better than countless heroes in the world." ”
