He followed Jiang Yue to the small pavilion by the verandah and sat down. When the maid served tea, all the people who were waiting on him left.
Wen Qingzhu stood respectfully behind him, listening to Jiang Yue's words.
"Back then, there was a dear friend who also resigned and retired for the sake of his wife. Since then, I have often missed him and wondered whether he was still living well in a foreign country."
There are only a few people in the world that Jiang Yue can respect so much.
Wen Qingzhu thought of the teacher first.
Looking up, she fell in love with the familiar scenery at first sight.
After following the teacher, her taste has improved a lot, and ordinary scenery can no longer be appreciated.
But when we arrived at this house, Wen Qingzhu thought about it carefully and felt that every place was in line with his wishes.
After sighing for a while, Jiang Yue mentioned the matter of Qin Tian Prison.
"I have personally gone to the Qintian Prison. After re-observation in the past few days, I say that the rain this year has exceeded the past. However, the weather is always changing, and I must be completely sure."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and replied: "The weather is naturally changing all the time. It was just that last year there was heavy snow in the south. After the spring thaw, it became sunny for several days, followed by continuous heavy rain. Due to the natural cycle, the water that fell on the ground returned to the sky, and eventually It still has to come down.”
Jiang Yue fell silent, looking at the scenery outside the yard, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, the sky became darker and darker.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the continuous spring rain fell again.
It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, but this year's spring rain has been extra heavy. I am afraid that farmers' seedlings will not be able to grow.
The plan for the year lies in spring, and Jiang Yue is more worried about this problem than Wen Qingzhu.
About an hour later, a little father-in-law rushed in from outside.
The young father-in-law wanted to report it alone, but Jiang Yue waved to him and asked him to speak directly.
"Your Majesty, the water on the other side of the canal has risen and half of the dug area has been flooded. His Royal Highness the King of Chu has rushed over to make emergency repairs."
Jiang Yue nodded and waved him down to continue staring.
Lowering his head and chuckling, Jiang Yue glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu, and said with a hint of meaning: "After all, I've got it right for you. If you come to the palace tonight, you can have a meal with me."
"Yes, I would like to send you off to Your Majesty." Wen Qingzhu stepped away carefully and sent Jiang Yue and others away.
After standing in the small pavilion for a long time, Wen Qingzhu finally turned around and told Lu Tao: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the Wei family."
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu arrived at Wei's house.
Wei Feng seemed to have expected Wen Qingzhu's arrival. After entering, Qiaoyu led her directly to a quiet courtyard of the Wei family.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Wen Qingzhu saw Wei Feng winking and teasing a maid serving him.
The maid's face was calm, no matter what expression Wei Feng made, she was indifferent.
"General Wei is really in good spirits." Wen Qingzhu walked over and praised him.
When the maid serving Wei Feng saw someone coming, she immediately put down the fruit in her hand and stood up to salute.
"I've met Miss Wen."
Wei Feng curled his lips, glanced at Wen Qingzhu angrily, and shook his head carelessly: "It's all your fault for disturbing my general's enjoyment!"
He stopped looking at Wen Qingzhu and winked at the expressionless maid next to him: "Yao'er, come! This general also wants to eat the pomegranates fed by you."
The maid named Yao'er was indifferent, nodded towards Qiaoyu, turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Wei Feng stretched his neck to shout, but unfortunately he didn't have both hands and feet, so he couldn't pull him back or catch up.
After Qiaoyu led Wen Qingzhu to sit down, she served the tea herself and then stepped aside.
Seeing that Wei Feng started teasing Qiaoyu again, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but interrupt: "General Wei, I want to meet Wei Yu."
"Are you able to talk now?" Wei Feng turned his head and lay on the special seat. If you didn't look closely, he really looked like a mature and beautiful uncle.
But soon, his expression changed instantly, and he smiled mischievously: "I heard that the emperor left the palace today. Did he come to see you?"
"General Wei is indeed well-informed." Wen Qingzhu smiled brightly, with a natural elegance and wantonness between his brows. "Not only that, the emperor also asked me to accompany him to dinner tonight."
Wei Feng's eyebrows furrowed: "It's not a good thing that he likes you like this."
"But if he doesn't value me, how can Brother Fu try his best to regain the territory for him?" Wen Qingzhu said this without any warmth in his voice.
She plotted against Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue plotted against her.
Wei Feng was silent for a moment and waved to Qiaoyu to bring someone over.
Within a quarter of an hour, a young man with a well-proportioned figure and clear features came to the front.
"I've met my cousin, I've met Miss Wen." The young Wei Yu behaved naturally in every move, pursed his thin lips tightly, and had a calm brow, just like a young adult who abides by etiquette.
"You kid!" Wei Feng felt very unhappy when he saw him like this. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "You are only twelve years old! Who do you want to show you all the suffering and hatred you have been doing all day long?"
"My cousin is wrong. My brother does not have any deep grudges. It's just that he should be serious and self-possessed when he is outside." Wei Yu explained solemnly.
This scene completely shocked Wei Feng, waiting for Wei Yu to shout: "Xiao Yu'er! Hurry! Teach me a lesson! This little thing! It was clearly trained by some old man on purpose to show me!"
Qiaoyu was in a dilemma, and finally looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Miss Wen is still here. It's almost dark now. I guess Miss Wen doesn't have much time. Let's see what Miss Wen wants."
Changing the topic, Wei Feng changed his attention as expected: "This guy is here, you see, he is the second best man of our generation in the Wei family!"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and nodded, looked Wei Yu up and down, and stretched out his delicate hand: "Come here."
Wei Yu suddenly took a deep breath, nodded and asked, "Miss Wen, if you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
"Don't be so rigid, you're so young." Wen Qingzhu stood up, stretched out his hand to break open Wei Yu's clenched hand, and then pointed to the chair next to him.
Wei Yu sat down tensely, looking very nervous.
After a quick glance, Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No."
"Why can't it work!" Wei Feng exploded, "Although this guy is a bit strict, he is proficient in character, poetry, etiquette, and the six arts of a gentleman. Why can't he do it!"
Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and looked at Wei Feng with a smile: "General Wei must know a thing or two about what kind of person Emperor Shunde is. People like Wei Yu can indeed be promoted very quickly after joining the Forbidden Army, but if you want to do something It is impossible to get to a higher position.”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Feng fell silent.
He knew very well who Jiang Yue was.
He himself stayed in the Forbidden Army for a few years, and he was promoted to the position of deputy commander, but in the end he was demoted to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing because of a trivial matter.
Although Jiang Yue gave him real power in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he could not compare with the emperor's close ministers.
As the Wei family declined day by day, Wei Feng took the risk and took the initiative to investigate the affairs of the Yue family.
But he didn't want to make a mistake and end up regretting it for eternity. Instead, he would lose himself in it.
Jiang Yue is suspicious. He doesn't use people who are too smart, and he doesn't use people who are too stupid.
He will use people who are too loyal, but will not give them important positions.
Because what he needs is someone who is both smart and loyal.
The current commander of the Forbidden Army is about to retire within five years, and every family in the capital is not eyeing that position.
If the Wei family wants to revive, it will not be enough without the help of Concubine Hui. It must have a new generation of pillars.
It used to be Wei Feng, but now after picking and choosing, I can only pick out Wei Yu.
"Then please ask Miss Wen to take this kid away so that he can be trained and disciplined." Wei Feng suddenly became serious and looked at Wen Qingzhu in a blink of an eye.
But Wen Qingzhu smiled bitterly and said: "General Wei, you think too highly of me. I can't protect myself now. If a descendant of the Wei family suddenly appears next to me, and it looks like he will inherit the Wei family in the future, then I will go to the palace tonight. Don’t even think about going there again, forming factions and fighting against dissenters is not a small crime.”
"Such a trivial matter is not easy for Miss Wen." Wei Feng leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes lazily, "You can even persuade Xin Zhong. I still don't believe that a little Wei Yu can do it." Stumping you.”
"Didn't General Xin Zhong help persuade him?" Wen Qingzhu did not accept his compliment.
The Wei family is so anxious. Could it be that something went wrong internally
"Of course not. I just took the opportunity to push him. Without me, Miss Wen wouldn't be able to persuade him. The Wei family can't wait..."
Wei Feng's voice suddenly became deeper, which made Wen Qingzhu frown: "The Wei family has been keeping a low profile for so many years, so there should be no problem, right?"
Wei Feng opened his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky, and said mockingly: "The Fu family is rotten. How do you think the energy consumption of the Wei family, which was also supported by the previous dynasty, is better? When the great grandfather and grandfather had a dispute, it was Because we discovered the problem, we chose a different direction.”
Wen Qingzhu fell silent and glanced at Wei Yu.
I found that the little boy was silent and unusually silent, but he kept listening to their conversation.
He seems to be a good boy. If Wei Feng's limbs were healthy, maybe he wouldn't have to ask for help at all.
But this matter was very risky. Wen Qingzhu said: "I can help you Wei family, but I have a condition."
"Say." Wei Feng knew that Wen Qingzhu was not a thing in the pond.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Wei Yu: "I can single-handedly send him to the position of commander of the Forbidden Army, but within seven years, he must obey my orders first."
Wei Feng suddenly looked over, his eyes dark, and said in a deep tone: "What do you want?"
"A lot." Wen Qingzhu smiled and gave a vague answer.
This is a game. Although the Wei family has declined, its foundation is here.
Even if Fu Lie returns, she will be nothing more than a general. Even if she can gain the support of poor people in the future, the power of nobles from aristocratic families cannot be underestimated.
If the Wei family could be on her side at that time, they would at least help her contain the Fu family and the Pei family.
The two people looked at each other quietly, waiting for the other to speak first.
But time was running out after all. Lu Tao reminded Wen Qingzhu, "Miss, it's time for us to leave. I'm afraid Eunuch Fang's people will be here in two-quarters of an hour."
"General Wei, please think about it slowly." Wen Qingzhu stood up and turned to leave.
Wei Feng's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't make decisions on behalf of the Wei family yet.
"Wait a minute! Just Wei Yu can't support the Wei family at all. After Master Wei Zheng disappeared, the position of Minister of Dali Temple has been vacant. I know that His Majesty intends to send Su Huo there, but the position of the Ministry of Punishments is... If it becomes available, can the Wei family be accommodated in this position?"
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but raised his head and laughed.
After a long while, she looked sideways to the rear and said softly: "Wei Feng, you think too highly of me."
Then the conversation changed. Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But I appreciate your ambition. The position of the Criminal Department is a sharp sword in the emperor's hand. He will not let others insert it easily, but it is not impossible. The way is, you choose people first, I think it’s suitable, within three years, I can make people from my Wei family gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Justice.”
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left. Wei Feng, who was looking at her back, sighed, feeling sad all over.
He murmured to himself: "If my grandfather knew about it, would he be mad at me in advance..."
