"The Wei family in Fengzhou is one of the six sects in the country. It was already one of the top sects in the world." Wei Xinyong coughed a few times, and Lai Qinniang hurriedly stepped forward to serve him. He drank a few mouthfuls of nectar to relieve his cough, and his face looked better. , continued, "To be crowned a king again, and to be crowned a hereditary and irreplaceable king with a different surname, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
"Moreover." Wei Xinyong's eyes flashed, "It is impossible for Ruiyu Hall to produce another prince... So who will be the future leader of the Wei family?"
Wei Lingyuan interjected: "The position of the Valve Leader has always been determined by whoever is in charge of the clan. It doesn't necessarily have to be a direct descendant of the clan... isn't the current old Valve Leader the concubine of the former Valve Leader? Because the former Valve Leader The legitimate son cannot be in charge of Ruiyu Hall..."
The implication was that he naturally hoped that Wei Xinyong would become the queen of Jin and make him the crown prince, so that he would also take over the position of head of the Wei clan.
Wei Xinyong was too lazy to pay attention to him and only said to Wei Qingshen: "Who among the six clan leaders is not deeply rooted in the clan to be able to be the leader of this clan? Even the other five clans, because of the fall of the imperial capital, the current clan leaders are very Young people - but without the support of their elders, they all took the position of head of the clan. You can imagine the tricks! As a result, when the imperial court appointed a prince, the original position of head of the clan was replaced by someone else, and it was passed down through the royal family. Do you think the feudal lords will let the court do this?"
It was Wei Lingyuan who said with great disbelief: "Uncle, where do you put your credit? The Holy Emperor wants to make you king, so why should Ruiyutang stop you?! How can you not just because of Ruiyutang's obstruction?" Dare you accept this prince?"
If you don’t accept the title of king, what should I do? ! From the moment Wei Lingyuan heard the news, he regarded himself as the future King of Jin and the head of the Wei clan!
After all, Wei Qingshen was not as dazed as his son. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Xinyong, you mean that the noble clan will not let a king with a different surname in the clan take the original position of the clan leader? This is nothing... Brother Even if you don't trust your nephews, you also know that they are far less intelligent than you and don't have any titles. How can I trust them in the future? Brother Wei is not a capable person, so I can only ask for your help. Go ahead and kill them!"
A flash of excitement flashed in Wei Lingyuan's eyes - Lord or not, it's still early to talk, so there's nothing wrong with agreeing first. Wei Huan is senior and old, and has no obvious faults. Even if the old Duke Jingping comes back to life, he cannot easily take away his position as the leader of the clan. But if Wei Lingyuan succeeds to the title of King Jin... Then with his title over Wei Huan's group, are you afraid that he won't be able to become the leader of the clan
Anyway, who should be the leader of the Wei family is a family matter. First, get the title of Prince Jin. With Wei Xinyong's contribution, the new emperor should be facing them! With the support of the new emperor, Ruiyu Hall will decline sooner or later - just knowing that the members of this hall are declining, they can give them a banner to use. The two halls are fighting, which makes it even more difficult for outsiders to interfere. With the weight of Wang Jue, in the future Now that Zhihondang is in their hands, it's not certain that Ruiyudang will be replaced, right
But Wei Xinyong's words immediately made him disappointed: "Brother, you don't have to be so evasive. You know what I mean: I mean that this prince is not that easy to get! In any family, the head of the family, the head of the family, is the highest-ranking person." Otherwise, how can the people of the whole family be respected? Especially the title. Occasionally, there are titles and official positions higher than those of the feudal lord in the family. That's it. Back then, Wei Yu was not a high-ranking official. At that time, he was the legitimate son of the feudal lord. What grade is your direct grandson
He said mockingly, "A hereditary and irreplaceable title is a long-term guarantee of power and wealth. Although the status Wei Yu once reached is extremely high, it cannot be hereditary, so the feudal lord doesn't care - speaking of the Fengzhou Wei back then. The reason why Zhibentang was split was because there was another clan member besides Ruiyutang who was awarded the hereditary title Jingcheng Marquis for his merits. This led to the establishment of another branch to compete with Ruiyutang. Since Zhibentang was established, it has been subjected to many criticisms. How much pressure from Ruiyudo?"
He sighed, "So if there is a king with a different surname besides the Valve Master, even if the inheritance of the Valve Master is not mentioned at the moment, this position will sooner or later fall into the hands of Wang Jue's lineage in the future."
"We can swear not to get involved in the throne..." Wei Lingyuan blurted out a little anxiously.
Wei Xinyong still didn't look at him, and only said to Wei Qingshen: "There is only one way to solve the impact of the title of king on the passing of the original clan heads and family heads of each family."
He said coldly, "Split the sect!"
"... So what?!" Wei Qingshen and his son were stunned for a moment, and both said, "Split the sect... Then split the sect! Anyway, we are originally the descendants of Zhibentang, and there is a gap between us and Ruiyutang! Split it out! Even if he becomes Zhibenwei, he is temporarily weaker than Fengzhouwei, but who will be weaker and stronger in the future is still unknown!"
Wei Xinyong said happily: "Is it so simple to separate a sect? It is impossible for the Holy One to directly raise this matter, even if everyone knows it. This matter must only be hinted in private, and the sect must be compensated and promised benefits. In exchange for the sect's consent, otherwise it is a private matter of the family. If the sect does not agree, how can we divide it? What's more, Fengzhou Guard is a shackle, but it is also a lush tree that shields the wind and rain... "
"Ruiyu Hall wants to protect them from the wind and rain, and they also give priority to the blood and flesh of the clan leader. It would be great if we could drink some soup!" Wei Lingyuan was angrily, "With Wang Jue protecting us from the wind and rain, why let us see their faces anymore? ? ! Uncle, do you really not care about us at all?”
It was only now that Wei Xinyong finally glanced at his nephew, but his eyes were full of deep sadness. After a long time, he said: "Brother, do you still remember the hatred between your father and your sister?"
Wei Qingshen was startled for a moment, and then said: "Of course I remember! I originally thought that they all died of a sudden illness, but you told me that year and I found out... But... Wei Qi and his son... those two beasts, weren't they all ?”
"There is also the tiger slave." Wei Xin sighed and said sadly, "Although the tiger slave is my book boy, I regard him as a brother."
When Wei Lingyuan heard this, he curled his lips with some disdain. He thought that his uncle was now the king of the Jin Dynasty, but it was really beneath his status to treat a book boy as his brother. Probably for this reason, he called Lai Qin Mother's maid is also so arrogant
He has decided that as long as his uncle is alive, he will give him face and not do anything to Lai Qinniang. When his uncle dies, he won't have to wait for a few years anyway. He will definitely take care of Lai Qinniang...
Just as he was thinking about the glory of becoming the Queen of Jin, he heard his father Wei Qingshen say in surprise: "What did you say?! For the revenge of the tiger slave, why do you want to refuse the title of King of Jin?! Are you crazy!"
Wei Xinyong said calmly: "You will know in the future - even if I receive this royal title, I will never pass on the title to you. It would be tantamount to harming you... If it is left to the heirs of Ruiyutang, you will definitely do the same. I'm not happy, I don't want to add this deep resentment to you, you are so easily provoked, don't cause any more trouble because of this, I won't be able to save you for long... So it is best to resign. "
"But Xinyong, have you ever thought about it?!" Wei Qingshen and Wei Lingyuan's faces turned from white to red, and from red to green - it took a lot of effort, and Lai Qinniang was watching coldly. Only then did he restrain himself from rushing forward and dragging Wei Xinyong up to question him. Even so, Wei Qingshen also had clear teeth in his words at this moment, "You are the undisputed greatest contributor to this dynasty, and the first credit was given by the Holy One himself! If you refuse the title of king, what will happen to the people below? If you can’t bear the title of king, wouldn’t others be able to bear it even more?”
Wei Qingshen's face was so ugly that he almost shed tears, "How much should those who cannot be crowned kings because of your refusals resent you?! Will they not express their anger?! Even if you don't care about their anger - but - they will join you. The one who was awarded the title of king is Ning Wang Mo Binwei. You don’t care about that? You cultivated that kid, right? He has no father or mother. Even if he is married to the Shen family, there are so many children of the Shen family. If you don’t have time, how can you care about his life or death? You have put so much effort into cultivating him, why are you trying to trick him now?”
Sure enough, when it came to Mo Binwei, Wei Xinyong still had feelings for this famous general who devoted all his efforts to his cultivation. His face was complicated for a moment, and then he said: "Of course I have a way to decline the title of king without compromising others. Besides, since the Holy One has openly enthroned a king with a different surname, he will naturally not go back on it easily. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to everyone? There is still a need to work together to attack the southwest?”
Wei Qingshen didn't expect that he would finally come up with a reason to persuade Wei Xinyong not to go crazy, but it turned out that he had already thought of a countermeasure! All of a sudden, it was like a basin of ice water pouring from your feet to your feet! His heart was so cold!
Wei Lingyuan was in great despair, completely ignoring Wei Xinyong's need to rest at this moment, and screamed: "Uncle, why do you do this?! Why!? We are your flesh and blood, why do you Why don't you pass on the title to us just because of the hatred of a so-called scholar? Have you forgotten how much your grandfather loved you? How will you explain it to your grandfather when you go down?"
"Shut up!" Lai Qinniang was furious and shouted in a deep voice!
"That's my business." Wei Xinyong ignored the collapse of Wei Qingshen and his son and said calmly. He told Lai Qinniang, "Send them out... Tell Mrs. Song that Wang Jue's matter ends here. , Never let them in again... Also, go and ask your elder brother to come over, I will ask him to write a speech to receive the memorial from the king!"
Seeing Wei Qingshen and Wei Lingyuan being dragged out of Leyiyuan in hysterics, Wei Xinyong was speechless.
Lai Qinniang sent people to invite Wei Zhenghong and report to Mrs. Song. When she returned to the inner room, she saw his lonely eyes and felt so sad that she couldn't help but kneel beside his bed and hold his hand, which was so thin that only bones were left. : "Sir! You..."
She wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know what to say. As smart as Wei Xinyong, if she could think of something to persuade him, how could he not know it himself? Just thinking about it and being able to do it are two different things.
"Qin Niang." Wei Xinyong closed his eyes and whispered, "The most important and dangerous step is in your hands... Do you really not regret it? You know what will happen if you do this."
Lai Qin Niang choked up and said: "If I can die for the young master, Qin Niang will die without regrets!"
Feeling Wei Xinyong brushing her hand away, she felt a little sad, but then there was a strong force on her head, and the obviously laborious rubbing made her gradually choke to tears.
She heard Wei Xinyong sigh like a breeze: "Then, you must do as I say, not even one day in advance!" (To be continued)
