Master Wei Sanye was a little absent-minded. A few days later, he received a report from the court saying that the Crown Prince had entered Shandong and was about to return to the capital in triumph. Now the entire capital was ready. Emperor Yuanfeng also ordered the Minister of Rites Sun Yongning to lead all the officials out of the city to welcome him.
This is great grace and glory.
However, this is not good news for Mr. Wei Sanye and his men.
Even if the fifth prince came to the throne, it would be much better for the people in the southeast than the current Xiao Heng. Everyone knows how much hatred Xiao Heng has with the southeast faction.
In the past, Xiao Heng always had some constraints, but now, Xiao Heng has grown strong!
This is the worst part.
Master Wei Sanye looked at it and shook his head. He took a few mouthfuls of rice with a sigh, put down his bowl and chopsticks without being able to eat, and took the ginseng tea handed to him by the servant.
Just as he lowered his head to take a sip, he heard a shout from outside: "Old Third! It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to eat?! Come out now!"
Mr. Wei Sanye's hand holding the ginseng tea trembled, and he immediately recognized that it was his old man's voice. He hurriedly agreed loudly, and did not dare to drink the tea anymore. He ran out of the hall in a hurry, and just as he went down the stairs, he saw Mr. Wei coming in from outside.
The old man is the backbone of the family. Most importantly, the seals for going out to sea are in the hands of the old man. The third master Wei is most afraid of him. When he saw him trembling, he was terrified and hurried to support the old man Wei: "Hey, old man, what are you doing? If there is anything, why don't you send someone to tell me and I will go over to listen? Why did you come out by yourself?"
Old Master Wei panted: "I would like to sit and wait, but you little bastard is a worry! Do you know what happened?"
What happened? Master Wei was confused: "What happened?"
Old Master Wei immediately threw a sugar-roasted chestnut at him, hitting Third Master Wei so hard that he covered his head. Then he said coldly, "Do you think I don't know? Desheng died doing things for you!"
When this matter was mentioned, Mr. Wei San also felt a little guilty.
Wei Desheng is his nephew, the legitimate son of his eldest brother, and the old man's grandson.
But this time, he failed in Yunnan because of something important.
He sighed, his throat couldn't help itching, and he coughed a few times before whispering, "It's my son's fault. It's just that Desheng has been in Yunnan for so many years, and he has been with his mother..."
Uncle Wei’s wife is from Yunnan. Uncle Wei had some unpleasantness with his family, so he moved his family to Yunnan.
Wei Desheng insisted on not changing his surname and secretly maintained contact and communication with the clan.
Old Mr. Wei was also very good to Wei Desheng. Every time Wei Desheng brought his children to Fuzhou, the old man was always very happy and gave him everything without any hesitation.
Now that he heard that Wei Desheng was in trouble, Mr. Wei's reaction was also within the expectations of Mr. Wei San.
He scratched his hair in annoyance, "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to tell you about this, but it's useless to tell you! He... .. Well, anyway, it's better not to know. The court didn't find out about us because Desheng protected us. All these sons know, you..."
Old Master Wei panted heavily: "I'm old! I know what you young people think. You dislike us old guys who are holding you back!"
Master Wei San hurriedly shook his head: "Dad, why do you say that? I would never dare to do that!"
Old Master Wei laughed sarcastically, "You dare not, then what does His Highness think? His Highness has left us old guys behind and only discusses everything with you guys. What does that mean? Don't we know it yet?"
He was fed up with those people who just kept asking him to maintain the status quo.
But, the time has not come yet. You can't even walk steadily, but you are thinking about flying? Aren't repeated failures the best proof
Master Wei was speechless and could only say, "Dad, we know our limits in these matters. If His Highness really goes too far, we will definitely persuade him."
Persuade? If he had listened to others' advice, what happened to Mr. Bai Qi would not have happened.
Old Master Wei stood with a cane, looking solemnly at Third Master Wei with narrowed eyes: "Your Highness, I can't control you, but you, you are my own child, I can control you. Tell me honestly, Your Highness, do you have any new ideas recently?"
How should I respond to this
Mr. Wei San was a little worried.
The old man is a person who is extremely afraid of death. He does business on the sea because he has no choice. But if he knew that Xiao Yuan is now so crazy that he wants to touch Shen Hai's tiger whiskers and even wants to swallow up this line on the sea, I wonder if the old man would be scared to death on the spot.
He didn't dare say.
When Mr. Wei saw him like this, he was furious. He reached out for his cane and hit him twice on the head: "What, are you mute?! I asked you to speak!"
Mr. Wei Sanye didn't dare to say anything and was wondering how to get out of this situation when his attendant ran in and said that Mr. Qiu was here.
He heaved a sigh of relief and ran out, turning back to comfort his father: "Dad, I still have something to do. I'm leaving now. I'll tell you in detail when I come back!"
He ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash. Old Man Wei looked at him angrily, but there was nothing he could do but stomped his crutch violently.
On the other side, Mr. Wei Sanye had already slipped out. When he saw Mr. Qiu in the hall, he pulled him out without saying anything.
Uncle Qiu staggered and nearly fell down, and couldn't help but be a little confused: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Third Master Wei dragged him all the way to the sedan chair, then he sighed helplessly: "What are you doing? My old man came to ask me about Desheng! You know, although my eldest brother is making a fuss and quarreling with the old man, how can the old man really let go of his own son? Now that Desheng is in trouble, his family members who were settled in Dali Prefecture have not escaped and have been implicated... The old man was already furious, if I go up to irritate him again at this time, wouldn’t it really cost him his life?"
Uncle Qiu knew about this, and there was nothing he could say after hearing what he said. He could only say, "We're already on the boat. There's no turning back. Now we can only work together and charge forward. Let's not talk about anything else for now. I came back just to tell you about Wang Erlangzi. He's in Zhoushan now, and our people have already rushed there."
Master Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Who are the people sent?"
