Master Wei was supposed to be kneeling, but when he saw Mr. Cui trembling, he hurriedly stood up to support him.
Mr. Cui turned his head, looked at the person in front of him seriously and said, "Zi Ying, starting from today, the heavy responsibility of the Wei family will be handed over to you."
Wei Ziying bowed his head and said yes, and asked Mr. Cui to sit aside.
Sitting among the guests, Wen Qingzhu looked at the kings of Chu and Ning who came one after another and came forward to express condolences one by one.
It's not sad, but this is a good opportunity to get in touch with the Wei family.
Mr. Wei has experienced the Wei family's lowest period, and his temperament is extremely stubborn.
When he was around, except for Wei Yu, who entered the palace, the rest of the Wei family, even if they entered the court as officials, kept an extremely low profile and were not allowed to have any interactions with the powerful except for making soup.
Now that the big mountain that was weighing on the Wei family has gone, the two hot candidates for the throne will naturally come back.
Then their attention will inevitably be on the Wei family.
Compared to Mr. Wei, Wei Ziying's temperament is much easier to get along with.
Over the years, Wei Ziying has compromised many times for the Wei family.
Therefore, in the eyes of King Ning and King Chu, Wei Ziying took over the Wei family, which was an excellent opportunity.
Seeing that they had started talking to Wei Ziying, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left the room.
She was seeing Mr. Wei off for the last time, so she also took Xiaobu with her. No one could notice her when she was walking in the Wei family.
Arriving at the entrance of Wei Feng's courtyard, the boy who led the way opened the door, and there stood a man wearing sackcloth and mourning on the porch.
He turned his back to Wen Qingzhu and stood in front of Wei Feng, seeming to be saying something.
The young man did not go in, but pointed inside and said, "Madam, please go in. The eldest young master and the third young master are inside."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and walked inside slowly.
Wei Feng saw her and turned his eyes.
The man with his back to Wen Qingzhu also turned around, revealing a slightly old face with a beard. Although his eyebrows were gentle, he had the temperament of an official official.
"You're here. This is my third brother Wei Shuang, the brother of Wei Yu." Wei Feng saw the confusion in her eyes and explained directly.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and said hello: "Master Wei San."
Wei Shuang knew that she was here to see Wei Feng, so she nodded and left.
After he left, Wen Qingzhu asked the doubts in his heart: "Master Wei San doesn't work in the capital, right?"
"Of course not. He is serving as the magistrate of Jinzhou. If there are no problems in the assessment in another two years, he should be transferred back." Wei Feng talked about Wei Shuang's matter, his tone seemed to be a little guilty.
Wen Qingzhu knew that there were many Wei family members and many things to do, so it was not easy to ask too many questions.
But Wei Feng mentioned Jinzhou, and she thought that Jinzhou was only a day's journey from Cangzhou.
Wen Qingzhu turned to the railing next to him and sat down: "If I remember correctly, Jinzhou has not been peaceful in the past few years, and there are many gangsters."
"Of course, the land in Jinzhou is not fertile in the first place, but the people's hard work ended up being advantageous to Cangzhou."
Wei Feng's tone was full of sarcasm, and he looked down on Cangzhou at all.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Wei Feng's appearance and wondered in his heart, is it because of Cangzhou that Wei Shuang has not been able to be transferred back for so many years
"By the way, when did Mr. Weisan go out? At his age, he should have been transferred back early."
Wen Qingzhu decided to inquire carefully from Wei Feng. Maybe he could get unexpected results
Hearing this familiar tone, Wei Feng looked over sideways: "Why are you asking about the third child? You want to go to Cangzhou!"
Wen Qingzhu stood up and complimented with a smile on his face: "Master Wei Feng is really smart and you understand me very well, but I don't want to go directly to Cangzhou. Since the affairs in Jinzhou are inseparable from Cangzhou, then I will go to Jinzhou to help Wei The three adults are fine."
Wei Feng squinted his eyes and did not say yes or no.
After a long while, Wei Feng finally spoke: "The thirty-nine-year-old came out of the Hanlin Academy. Under normal circumstances, he could stay in the capital. However, the situation of the Wei family was not optimistic at that time. His position was replaced by someone else. It happened that the second My uncle had an accident in Jinzhou two years ago, so the third child took the initiative to go to Jinzhou and started as a county magistrate. The first three years went smoothly, but after he was promoted to Jinzhou government office, problems started."
Seeing Wei Feng suddenly stop, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but wonder: "What's the problem?"
No matter what happened before, Wei Feng had never been so serious. Even when facing the emperor, he still had a cheerful attitude.
Wei Feng suddenly became angry: "Grandma! That bastard King of Runan can't even deal with a woman!"
"Huh?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised. It seemed that the Wei family knew a lot more.
When she was about to ask questions, Wei Feng suddenly turned around and cursed: "Go away! Let me calm down first!"
Yaoer was kicked out of the yard inexplicably, and Yaoer's face was full of apologies.
"Mrs. Fu, why don't I take you to find the third young master?"
Just as Wen Qingzhu was about to nod, Wei Feng roared again in the room: "Let me come in with that girl!"
Yao'er had no choice but to step aside: "Madam, why don't you come in first."
Once inside, Wei Feng returned to his usual cynical demeanor.
"Actually, it's nothing. Lao San just told me about Jinzhou. Now Cangzhou is basically monopolized by the Wu clan from top to bottom. Ordinary people have no way to survive. Many people have run to the nearest In Jinzhou, it turned out that people from the Wu tribe pretended to be gangsters and robbed and killed people wantonly.
As soon as the Jinzhou government took action, Cangzhou came over to find trouble, or in the name of King Runan. The situation now became more and more serious. Lao San had also written a book before, but was stopped before it was sent back. His letters home were also blocked.
This time, his grandfather passed away. He took the opportunity to come back from the funeral and told the situation in Jinzhou and Cangzhou. If Fu Lie went there, he would probably be in trouble. "
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while before saying: "If the people of the Wu Clan are really so arrogant, the people brought by the Marquis are not vegetarians. I think they are more likely to be soft. According to my guess, there should be great differences within the Wu Clan." .”
If the Wu Clan was really that powerful, Long Zhi wouldn't beg her to come here.
Not to mention the matter of divination, the Wu clan used the name of King Runan to act. If anything went wrong, it would be the crime of rebellion. It seems that there are also problems within the Wu clan.
"Regardless of whether there are internal differences among them, the dangers Fu Lie faces this time are not comparable to those in the past! Now that you have found me and asked about the third child, what do you want to do?"
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "Now that His Majesty Prince Rui is accompanying His Majesty in Qianyuan Palace, he must be able to get some Sacred Hearts. His intention to go to Cangzhou is too obvious. The matter in Jinzhou has not been resolved for a long time. It is time for Prince Rui to go." See how dangerous the world is."
"How do you want Yuanhan to go to Jinzhou? The third child has already sent the news back. As long as-"
Halfway through his words, Wei Feng suddenly understood: "Do you mean to make Lao San hide his stupidity?"
"I can only temporarily aggrieve Lord Wei San. Compared with the other two princes, King Rui has never done much. It is impossible to make the emperor feel inclined. This time is a good opportunity, but I have to wrong Lord Wei San. .”
After a while, Yaoer went to invite Wei Shuang back.
After hearing Wen Qingzhu's plan, Wei Shuang agreed with the decision.
For some reason, Wei Feng's expression suddenly became strange: "Xiaosan, why don't you agree with my suggestion, but instead agree with this girl's suggestion?"
Wei Shuang said with a smile: "The eldest brother's suggestion is of course good, but now that my grandfather has gone, the uncle is in charge of the family. Presumably, according to the uncle's behavior style, the Wei family will slowly come into everyone's field of vision, and it will inevitably happen There are various problems, and the uncle's words and deeds represent everyone in the Wei family. It is good for him to come forward, but it is even better for King Rui to come forward. The Wei family can support behind it, and there is no need to let the uncle fall into..."
"Okay, okay! Stop talking! I have a headache! In short, my ideas are not as good as this girl's!" Wei Feng shook his head and interrupted Wei Shuang rudely.
Wei Shuang just smiled, turned to Wen Qingzhu and said, "I will rush back to Jinzhou immediately after my grandfather's funeral. Madam..."
Wen Qingzhu immediately replied: "Uncle Wei, you're welcome, just call me Qingzhu. I will make arrangements to get together before you go back to Jinzhou."
"That's really troublesome for Qingzhu." Wei Shuang changed his title from Shanruliu.
Seeing that they hit it off like old friends, Wei Feng felt a little unhappy.
After Wen Qingzhu left, Wei Feng said with a sour face, "Don't you always think highly of yourself? Why are you so polite to a mere little girl?"
Wei Shuang explained seriously: "Brother, I have misunderstood. I never think highly of myself, and Mrs. Ping Guohou is not just a little girl."
Wei Feng rolled his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to him, and called Yao'er to retreat.
After leaving the Wei family, Wen Qingzhu sat in the carriage and thought about Wei Shuang.
He may seem inconspicuous, but upon careful analysis, he is also a powerful figure.
She just said that she was going to take Jiang Yuanhan to Jinzhou, but she could guess that her purpose was Fu Lie from Cangzhou.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many talents in the Wei family."
Lu Tao sat opposite her and nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Many ministers in the court cannot maintain a balance between King Ning and King Chu. It's really surprising to see Lord Wei's reaction today."
"Master Wei? He is indeed a capable man." Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu sighed with emotion. If the second master of the Wei family was here, how could Prince Ning single-handedly control the military power.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Fu Lie, who had gone to Cangzhou, sent two letters back to Beijing.
One was to report that Wen Qingzhu was safe, and the other was to explain the situation in Cangzhou to the emperor.
In addition to telling her that everything was fine, Wen Qingzhu's letter also mentioned the customs and customs of Cangzhou.
Among them, the scene described by Fu Lie is actually that the people of Cangzhou are gentle, polite and orderly.
This makes Wen Qingzhu very strange. The land in Cangzhou has never been very good, and there are many warm and poisonous insects. In addition, the Wu clan has been fighting against the Central Plains for many years.
According to what is recorded in the book, the folk customs should be relatively tough.
No matter what, it can’t be related to gentleness, right
That night, Jiang Yuanhan quietly left the palace and came to Pingguo Hou Mansion.
"Sister, everything goes well. Now my father is checking me out from time to time, and we are closer than before through words."
Wen Qingzhu served him soup: "Well, that's good. The Marquis's note should have been sent to the Emperor. After so many days, there should be results from Prime Minister Pei's side. Just wait patiently."
Jiang Yuanhan took the soup bowl and took a sip. It was neither cold nor hot. The taste was still his favorite, so he drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the soup bowl, Jiang Yuanhan looked outside the door: "Where is Mingxuan? Is he feeling better?"
"Much better. I will send him to the palace tomorrow, and then he will follow us to Jinzhou."
Jiang Yuanhan was startled: "Aren't you going to Cangzhou?"
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Cangzhou is where the King of Chu went. Let's go to Jinzhou and help solve the problems in Jinzhou first. Then you will have your political achievements, and the emperor will be even more impressed with you."
Early the next morning, as soon as Wen Qingzhu changed his clothes and went out, he saw Wen Mingxuan had arrived.
She walked over and touched his head: "Let's go."
Wen Mingxuan followed behind silently.
After setting off, neither of the two people sitting in the carriage spoke.
