"It's empty talk, is there any evidence?" Wei Chang Ying Xia took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
Yena smiled and said: "Ayita is ambitious and cunning. Although we have not been able to find any evidence. But Madam, please think about it, if we were not crazy, how could we murder Madam? Even the great Chanyu Mushuer was defeated by you, Madam. In the hands of her husband, our Di people fled to the depths of the grassland. If your country had not withdrawn its troops, we would not dare to return to our old land. And after the death of Musure, Ayitahu tried to usurp the throne and attracted a group of ambitious people. Tribe, and my cousin, the Great Chanyu of Wugumeng are on the same side! Your country has returned with a great victory, but you still care about the grassland... The Great Chanyu expects the Shen family to deal with Ayitahu, but it is too late, how can he attack his wife? "
When she talked about the death of her predecessor, Yu Mushuer, and the hasty escape of the Di people, her tone was relaxed and calm, and she did not look like the Di people at all. Wei Changying could not help but frown slightly and said: "You don't mind the death of your predecessor, Shanyu?"
"Madam, I don't know, my father, uncle, and two older brothers were all killed by the great Chanyu Musuer himself." Yena raised her lips and smiled, looking at Wei people's eyes, Yena She is not beautiful, and her mouth is even too big, but she has a slim figure, a slender waist, and has the free and easy grace of a prairie girl.
She said very cheerfully, "The reason why Musheer killed them was actually just a trivial matter. It was just that my father and the others were not lucky, and it happened to be the time when the Great Chanyu needed to establish his authority. I heard that Wei There is a saying that kills the chicken to scare the monkey, and Abba and the others did that. Although Da Shanyu let me go, I don't feel sad about his death. But now my cousin, Wu. The Great Chanyu of Gumen treated me very well. He didn't care that I was a woman and was willing to put me in a good position, so I was willing to come to Diecuiguan!"
Wei Changying thought that the Di people were barbarians after all. For example, here in the Wei Dynasty, even if there were conflicts between nobles, monarchs and ministers, they were mostly power struggles, and they rarely took action directly, let alone openly. That is to say, foreigners such as Qiudi and Beirong did not even have a trace of cover, and their in-laws would kill each other at will.
The sound of rain became louder at some point, covering up the sound of Shen Zangfeng's returning footsteps.
The door suddenly opened, and Shen Zangfeng came in with moisture in his clothes, interrupting Wei Changying's contemplation. She hurriedly sat up, got off the bed, and said, "You're back? Have you had dinner?"
There was a hint of tiredness between Shen Zangfeng's handsome brows. Hearing his wife's inquiry, he nodded slightly: "I used it with everyone in the Yamen."
Upon hearing this, Captain Ying ordered the maid outside the door: "Warm a cup of rose dew."
He waited for Shen Zangfeng to take off his outer robe and then put it on a nearby hanger for him. Before he could turn around, he heard Shen Zangfeng say: "The servant who delivered the letter said that the Yanzhou civil uprising seems to have something to do with Zhibentang."
Wei Changying asked in surprise: "What?" She knew that her husband must not be gloating about his misfortune when he said this. Things started with Zhibentang, and Zhibentang was at best the first to bear the brunt. This branch could not stop it, and sooner or later the fire would burn to the head of this sect.
She hurriedly walked to the table and sat down together.
Shen Zangfeng put his elbows on the table, slowly rubbing his eyebrows, looking very tired, and said: "Wei Qingxiao insulted the granddaughter of a family who was very benevolent to the commander of the Yanzhou Army, Lu Haozhi, and also killed the girl. The girl's grandfather accused her of stealing and was seriously injured. The girl's grandfather returned to Yanzhou and told the situation. His nephews and sons gathered in a crowd angrily, which turned into a civil uprising... Because Lu Haozhi had been favored by his family, he actually carried a gold seal and a tiger charm. He hid. The 200,000 Yanzhou army was leaderless, and some of them were dissatisfied with the annual tax increase. They were caught in the middle and kept spreading rumors... The imperial envoys rushed over overnight, but they could not control the situation... "
Wei Changying's expression changed, and he said with gnashed teeth: "Wei Qingxiao... Wei Qi, you idiot! You are trying to trick me, the Wei family, by giving birth to a child like this! Wei Xinyong has become the sixth uncle of my mother's family. I don't want him to learn from it." Lesson for causing such trouble again!”
"Don't worry, my father-in-law has recovered now and is said to be able to take care of things. How smart and capable our grandfather is? Even if this matter has an impact on Ruiyu Hall, it will definitely be fine." Shen Zangfeng comforted her, " And Uncle Wei Liu has rushed to Yanzhou to help the imperial envoy stabilize the overall situation! "
Wei Changying became even more worried when he heard this: "How can Uncle Six go? He and Wei Qingxiao have a grudge!"
"How can our grandfather not be optimistic about him?" Shen Zangfeng patted his wife's back gently, "With the elders here, we don't need to worry about these things."
Just as he was talking, Zhu Yi came in holding warm rose dew.
Since the couple still had something to say, they ordered her to put it down and then withdraw, while they poured it themselves.
Shen Zangfeng took a sip and said, "This time it tastes more mellow than the last time."
"You said the one last time didn't taste good, so I had everyone pour it out and made a new one." Wei Changying said, "Aunt Huang changed it several ways before settling on it, and Yan'er also agreed."
"Is Yan'er sleeping?"
"It was settled before dinner. Today, because I didn't allow her to get close to the 'Red Flame', she got mad and refused to have lunch and dinner. The more I coaxed her, the less she listened, so I had to leave her house. I asked her wet nurse to persuade her. Later, she finally ate something, but she had to eat before dinner, and she did some sewing in the afternoon, so she felt tired early..." Wei Changying gave a general account of his niece's situation that day.
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "This child is too squeamish. She can't tell the difference between good and bad. I'll talk to her next time and make her more sensible."
"How can a child not have a bad temper?" Since Wei Changying's biological children were not around, Shen Shuyan's arrival made her think a lot about her children, and she was particularly patient with this squeamish niece, "Ming Ming I'll ask the kitchen to cook something she likes, and I'll just go over and coax her out. She's so naive at this age, but she has become so restrained early on that she seems sensible to others, but she looks pitiful."
"Ying'er is so doting on the child. We can raise it ourselves when we get Guang'er by our side. As a husband, we should pay more attention to it." Shen Zangfeng felt a headache after hearing what she said, and murmured, "Guang'er My son is our eldest son, so we must not let him become coquettish!"
Chief Wei said angrily: "What are you talking about! How could I harm my own child? Yan'er is a girl, not the eldest daughter, so I can rest assured to pamper her. Besides, this child is not perfect. I’m ignorant—didn’t I say last time that I would take Xi’er with me to be filial to my elder sister?”
"I heard that she shouted to beat Xi'er..." Shen Zangfeng put the glass cup containing half of the rose water back on the table and said with a smile, "If it's just a little temper, it doesn't hurt. It’s just that girls should be pampered, and they shouldn’t be raised too domineeringly, lest they suffer losses in the future.”
Wei Changying said disapprovingly: "How old is she? Slowly speaking of the cabinet, it is still a few years away from the marriage proposal, and the second sister-in-law teaches the daughters the most stringent rules. When she returns to the second sister-in-law in a few days, you Are you afraid that she has no rules to learn? Besides, there is a reason why she said she wanted to beat Xi'er. She meant that if Xi'er grows up to be unfilial to her elder sister, she will teach her sister a lesson. Actually, this is true, Xi'er. The son was frail and had to be sent to Xiliang to be raised. Neither of his biological parents came due to various reasons. Only the eldest sister carried her here despite the wind and dust. The maid in front of the eldest sister said that the eldest sister was there for her on the way. I was so heartbroken that I didn't talk about Xi'er's swaddling clothes. She was held in her hands all the way and was placed in the cradle on the carriage without knowing it. The haggard look on the car shows how difficult this journey has been. How can it be wrong for Xi'er to not respect my eldest sister in the future? "
Shen Zangfeng actually didn't feel that Shen Shuyan had reached the point where she had to be disciplined. He just casually reminded his wife, but he didn't want his wife to defend his niece like this. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Have you ever thought about it, Yinger? Yan'er is not as good as Xi'er. She is in very good health. I came to Xiliang with my eldest sister just to relax and calm down. There is no need to stay there for a long time. It is even better for us to take her back when we go back in the second half of this year. This will save the second brother and the second sister-in-law from worrying. However, since Yi'er is still young and is the second brother's only male heir, it is reasonable for the second brother and the second sister-in-law to pay more attention to him. My son is very tolerant, and she might start to make trouble again after returning... So I think it would be better to find a chance to talk things over with her. "
Wei Changying frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "If you try to reason with her, don't pick on these two days. She is only angry now. If she listens to your reprimand again, she might be sad again."
"How can I reprimand her?" Shen Zangfeng laughed dumbly.
The two of them talked about these common things, and the Chief of Guard Yingfu became concerned about the civil uprising in Yanzhou: "According to what you said, it will be troublesome to put down this civil uprising? Could it be that in this world...?"
"I can't say for sure now, after all, we are not in the imperial capital. Now I just listen to the servant who sent the letter to give a rough idea. It happened many days ago. I don't know what changes have occurred in the past few days?" Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said. , "The one I am worried about is not only in Yanzhou, but also in Donghu!"
"Donghu..." Wei Changying immediately understood that Shen Zangfeng meant that the war in Donghu was uninterrupted and all the supplies came from Yanzhou. If the turmoil in Yanzhou cannot be put down as soon as possible, the morale of the military may be shaken! Originally, Liu Jiajun and the Rong people were inseparable from each other. Although the Rong people did not take advantage, they did not gain the upper hand. If the morale of the army is shaken, the consequences will be...
It's even more serious than the Yanzhou civil uprising!
... This situation, coupled with what he thought of when he met Yana in the afternoon, made Wei Changying feel a headache: "The ministers in the court must also have thought of this. I expected that if the imperial envoy sent earlier could not quickly calm down the situation, , he should choose another virtuous and capable minister to go there, right?”
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "The Holy Emperor summoned Brother Wei Qingxiao and his second uncle Wei to the palace for several days to question Yanzhou civil uprising..."
I also knew that Wei Qingxiao would not sit still and wait for death. No matter whether the other Wei family members were willing to watch him die, as long as they were not stupid, they knew that Wei Qingxiao must not be allowed to accept this responsibility - how could this dirty damn scum handle it? Are you responsible for aggravating the town uprising? This is going to drag the whole clan down!
The Wei family in Fengzhou has a century-old foundation, and they are fighting for their lives for the family... It is hard to say whether there are any capable ministers in the court who can spare their hands to go to Yanzhou to take charge of the overall situation!
After all, as the biological brother-in-law of Wei Zhenghong and the biological uncle of Wei Changfeng and Wei Changying, Song Yuwang will definitely go to the battle to help; the in-laws Shen family will not stand back if they think about the face of their in-laws and legitimate grandchildren; Su The family may watch neutrally, but it is unlikely that they can continue to watch; the Duanmu family and the Liu family have secretly and openly had many grudges with Shen and Wei Ming over the years, especially the Liu family has been competing with the Shen family for their respective military supplies, and they have a Conflict in essential interests…
Although Yanzhou is important, Liu Jiajun's military morale cannot be shaken... But who has been in the position of leader for a long time, who is not extremely shrewd and decisive in killing? Are they those who only want Yanzhou to be pacified quickly and don't care about the rest? They must be thinking about pacifying the situation while taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune... With such mutual restraint, it is no wonder that the Wei family sent young Wei Xinyong to Yanzhou to assist the imperial envoy Liu Jing, because the rest of the people may not be able to respond to him when they come. , Secondly, because of my identity, I can’t leave at all!
Wei Changying felt a headache as she thought about it, and she sighed: "What you just said is right, Yanzhou is too far away from us now. Besides, if the elders are involved in this matter, it may not be our turn to worry about it. But right now There is something imminent that we can take care of."
"Oh?" Shen Zangfeng was startled and said, "What is it?"
"There is a spy in Diecuiguan, or in the Shen family..." Wei Changying said slowly. Seeing her husband's solemn expression, she said in a deep voice, "It's not the spy you thought, but the one who thought he was helping. Our people!” (To be continued)
