Chapter 33: Imperial decree

Views:

Although Mrs. Song had made up her mind to recruit Mo Binwei for her beloved grandson, things did not go as smoothly as she thought. Due to Lu Zifan's caution, no one knew about Mo Binwei's life or death, let alone Said he was missing. Moreover, there were some changes in dealing with Song Han and Song Duan...

"Although Xinping is just my cousin, I am writing a letter to just two of my cousins. I hope he won't be so stupid as to protect them when he is old. He cheated me into a marriage and deceived the legitimate daughter of my Wei clan. Come on, if Xinping wants to speak for them, where does that leave Zai Shui?" Mrs. Song asked in surprise, "Why can't you touch them?"

Wei Huan's face looked ugly, and he softly uttered three words: "Zhibentang!"

Mrs. Song's expression immediately became cautious: "What did they do again?"

"Weiqi reported the good news to His Majesty." Wei Huan said happily, "There has never been such a good news in the Wei Dynasty in recent years, so His Majesty was overjoyed and opened the dynasty. Not only did he praise me and the prime minister, but also Even the rewards for Song Han and Song Duan have imperial edicts... Now the angel is probably on his way. "

Madam Song was so angry that she slapped the cases around her: "Song Han and Song Duan are so brave! Do you really think that Wei Qi can protect them with a few imperial edicts when he is far away in the imperial capital?" She came to her senses again, "Weird way. They actually dared to cheat our granddaughter into getting married! So that old guy Wei Qi was behind everything?"

Wei Huan, however, remained calm and said slowly: "Now that Song Han and Song Duan have been brought back by 'Biwu', it is not easy to torture them in public because of the praise given to them by the Holy One. They are still unwilling to admit their relationship with Wei Huan." There’s a date with Saki…”

"Does this need to be admitted?" Mrs. Song sneered, "What are you going to do? Just to avoid spoiling His Majesty's interest, you admit it just once? Can you swallow this breath?"

"The Holy One has become increasingly displeased in recent years by being disobeyed." Wei Huan sighed and said slowly, "Since the imperial edict has already been about praising Song Han and Song Duan, then let's just leave it at that. Otherwise, His Majesty will lose his dignity and not blame our family?"

Mrs. Song frowned and said, "But this credit was reported by Wei Qi. Didn't you recover the memorial that asked for credit? If the Holy One loses his dignity, it is because Wei Qi followed what others said and misled the Holy One!"

Wei Huan shook his head: "Since Wei Qi has private dealings with Song Han and Song Duan, and dares to speak before me, how can he not be careful about this? I guess he would have already dug it up when he reported this matter. A trap is waiting for me - for example, if Song Han and Song Duan are not my descendants of the Wei family, will I be dissatisfied with them and take away their achievements? Or maybe our family wanted to marry Gao Chan to Song Duan before, but now? You don’t want to get married, are you deliberately slandering me?”

"This world... has really turned black and white!" Mrs. Song paused for a moment before sneering, "It was obviously the common man named Mo who was robbed of his credit, and it was this evil father and son who wanted to trick Gao into marrying him. Cicada...Wei Qi! This old guy is so deceitful, he is not afraid of retribution!"

After all, Wei Huan is the head of the Wei family. Although he was informed of the successive plots of his family, he was not as angry as Mrs. Song at the moment. He still said calmly: "These are just trivial matters. Now our Ruiyu Hall is only supported by Shengyi in the court." Well, it’s better not to displease the Holy Emperor! It’s just an imperial edict and some rewards, so what if Song Han and Song Duan are promoted to serve in the imperial capital?”

He said slowly, "Compared with finding Mo Binweilai, why should Song Han and his son care about it?" It was obvious that they could not be killed, but with "Biwu" here, why were they afraid that they would not be able to assassinate him? Song Han and Song Duan are not very talented people. Even if Wei Qi wins over them and tries to trick Rui Yutang, can he still find ways to protect them for the rest of his life

Mrs. Song frowned and said: "Of course Mo Binwei is looking for him. Although he is a commoner, he has great talents. Changfeng is young, and you and I are old. Nowadays, the world is unfair, and it is people like him who deserve to be great." When used. If this person helps us, we can feel more at ease when we close our eyes... But what about Wei Qi? Last time, Chang Ying was tricked by him, but this time, he also tricked us! Forget it?"

Wei Huan heard what his old wife meant, but he still didn't trust his promise and refused to let the Wei family recruit Mo Binwei. Instead, he wanted to put Mo Binwei under Wei Changfeng's name to feel at ease. As the leader of the clan, Wei Huan Huan is of course more inclined to the former, but since Mo Binwei's life and death are still unclear, he has no intention of quarreling with Mrs. Song on this issue first, so he said: "Wei Qi, I already have an opinion, and now today Ganwu Cao... He cheated on me for not being in the imperial capital, hehe! "

Although these words were a bit meaningless, Mrs. Song had spent a lifetime with him and knew him very well. When she heard the words, her heart moved and she understood. Then she showed a smile and said: "That's it! Look at it. Why is he so proud?"

"It may not be safe. After all, he has been deeply favored by the emperor over the years." Wei Huan said with a faint smile, "But it's okay. If the plan fails, just think of another way."

Wei Huan's palace is deep, and Wei Qi's tit-for-tat plan was successful, but it did not disturb his mood at all. He was still planning unhurriedly, "I am afraid that the angel has left the imperial capital now, and we must be prepared to welcome him." good."

"It's not like Yu Wei has never seen such a battle when he was in the imperial capital. Just tell her later." Mrs. Song disagreed. Ordinary people or officials would naturally be frightened when they heard the order, but famous families-especially the six in the country With a family like this, I have seen many outstanding people and scenes in my life, and these are the things I am least embarrassed about.

However, since Wei Huan specifically warned her, Mrs. Song still asked one more question, "Who is the envoy this time?"

Wei Huan stroked his chin and beard, smiled peacefully, and said, "It's Shen Zhou, otherwise why would I tell you this?"

"It's him?!" Mrs. Song was startled. It's not that Shen Zhou is so talented or so powerful that even Mrs. Song's expression changed when she heard about it - I don't even care about the imperial edict. Man, there are really no celebrities or talents in the world who can shock her.

So Mrs. Song was surprised that the messenger who delivered the message was Shen Zhou. There was only one reason: Shen Zhou was a descendant of the Shen family in Xiliang and the direct younger brother of the current Taifu Shen Xuan!

... Speaking of which, after Wei Changying leaves the cabinet, he will call him uncle along with Shen Zangfeng.

Wei Changying will leave the cabinet next year, and Shen Zhou has come to Fengzhou to deliver the decree. It is obvious that both official and private matters are being handled at the same time. While delivering the decree and commending him, he is discussing with the Wei family the details of the Shen family's wedding next year.

Since it was related to her precious granddaughter, Mrs. Song immediately took the matter seriously and solemnly said: "I understand, I will personally check in on the angel this time!"

Wei Huan added: "The marriage between Chang Ying and Shen Zangfeng has been decided a long time ago. They are a good match. Now the negotiation is just about details. As long as we are on guard against Wei Qi and others getting in the way, there is nothing else. But... He frowned and said, "Song Zaitian is here too this time."

Mrs. Song thought for a moment and then remembered that Song Zaitian was the eldest son of her cousin Song Yuwang and the nephew of her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song - Song Zaishui's brother!

Song Zaitian ran over. Of course Mrs. Song knew why. She couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Dong Gong is indeed not a good match. Even if the Wei family was alive, she would definitely not agree to continue marrying Zaishui into the royal family. Yu Wang this What’s wrong with the child?”

"The Song family often has love affairs. Even though the Wei family has gone, it's not surprising that Song Yuwang still remembers the promise she made during her lifetime..." Wei Huan said casually, and suddenly felt something was wrong. As expected, Mrs. Song's face turned gloomy - the Song family's The love interest of the generation was Song Yuwang. Last time... wasn't he Mrs. Song's father Song Dan? Mrs. Song has been wronged a lot for this reason. To this day, her concubine Song Mianhe, married to Jingcheng Hou Weiqi, still has trouble with Rui Yutang!

Wei Huan realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject, saying, "This is a matter of the Song family after all, not to mention that the person to be married to is the royal family. Song Yuwang wrote a letter before, but his daughter refused to leave, so we didn't bother much. . But this time Song Zaitian came in person. His parents made the decision about the marriage, and he was the eldest brother here on his father's orders. If he really wants to take Song Zaishui back to Beijing to get married, let's not worry about it - Song Yu hopes that his daughter will fulfill her promise. It is also an act to maintain family tradition. This is his family matter and we cannot interfere even though we are relatives. "

Mrs. Song sighed, frowned and said, "If I wanted to take care of it, would I still let this child live here for a long time, pretending to be confused?" Although she agreed with her husband's words, she thought it was not appropriate for the Wei family to get involved in this matter. We have an appointment, and our family background is here. Breaking the promise rashly would be tantamount to destroying the family tradition! This is very shameful and taboo for the royal family; secondly, the person who proposed the marriage is the royal family. Although the emperor does not care about government affairs, and although the East Palace is licentious, it is still an imperial family! Especially Ruiyu Hall is now in decline, with only Wei Shengyi supporting the court, Wei Huan is old... Lian Zhibentang's attacks are becoming more frequent. At this time, it is extremely unwise to offend the royal family for Song Zaishui.

After all, no matter how much sympathy Song Zaishui deserves, Wei Huan and Mrs. Song must always consider themselves and their descendants first.

Moreover, it was her father Song Yuwang who insisted that Song Zaishui marry into the royal family. Not to mention that Song Yuwang wanted to marry her to the prince to fulfill his promise. Even if his daughter had to be married to a beggar, she was still Song Yuwang's daughter. Song Xinping didn't say anything, so how could it be someone else's turn to plan Song Zaishui's rejection of the marriage

It's just that during the few months Song Zaishui lived in the Wei family, his temperament and talent were noticed by everyone from top to bottom. Such a rich young lady who really had the potential to become a wise empress had to marry that debauched and unscrupulous woman with low status. The stable prince, although he was unable to help her, no one could help but feel sorry for her.

Wei Huan also knew that although his old wife was fierce, she was not without success. Especially if Mrs. Song had no direct grandchildren, she might help Song Zaishui on a whim. Now Mrs. Song is fully satisfied with paving the way for Wei Changfeng. , planning for Wei Zhangying, where can I find the energy to take care of my niece and grandniece? Even if she could take care of it, Mrs. Song would still pretend to be confused in order not to cause trouble to her direct bloodline.

So he had another purpose in mentioning Song Zaitian: "This child has been living in our house for several months. Since she is unwilling to go to Beijing to get married, she hopes that you or the eldest daughter-in-law can help her. But in this matter, we It is indeed inconvenient for the family to intervene, but don't let this child harbor any resentment. Although the Holy One is doting on Miao Jieyu these days, the current Empress only entered the Changle Palace after defeating the two previous empresses and princes. The one who has been in charge of Fengyin for the longest time in this dynasty is deeply rooted in the harem and has deep thoughts. Even though she has adopted two princes, sixteen and seventeen, they are still young and holy. I'm getting older but I'm getting older... The world is not at peace now, and it's hard to predict the future for Lai Changjun."

Mrs. Song certainly understands what he means when it comes to this. Now that she is old, although her new favorite is Miao Jieyu, the queen's situation seems to be not good. The seventeenth prince had prepared a complete strategy. Even if the two princes ascended the throne and Miao Jieyu was appointed as the queen mother, given the current situation of the Wei Dynasty... neither the government nor the opposition would support the young emperor's coming to the throne.

Therefore, the new monarch is unpredictable - of course, if Song Zaishui will have a mother's day, but she is resentful because the Wei family did not help her today, it means she has become the queen's enemy for nothing. This should be guarded against. The old lady nodded and said: "Zai Shui is an understanding child. She knows why Yu Wei and I can't help her, and she hasn't mentioned it even after living here for several months. I will make it clear to her later, but I won't let her do it anyway." She resents our family for just sitting idly by and watching what happened to her.”

"Song Zaitian also asked his eldest daughter-in-law to talk about it." Wei Huan reminded, "His sister defied her father's orders and lived in our house for several months. Song Yuwang may also be unhappy, thinking that our family is deliberately instigating his daughter. You have to explain it clearly, so as not to regret it later if your relatives become enemies. "

No matter how much Mrs. Song felt sorry for Song Zaishui, what she cared about most now was her own flesh and blood. After listening to Wei Huan's endless instructions, she said impatiently: "I know all this - hurry up and send someone to find Mo Binwei! If you can get this He is really as talented as everyone says, so it’s not a total loss for us to learn of our plan this time.” (To be continued)
