Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Outside the gate of Su Mansion, Wei Zhe was standing at the bottom of the steps with his hands behind his back, looking at the twelve halberds at the gate of Su Mansion, his heart was touched for a moment.

In Daning, officials above the third rank can display halberds at the door to show their dignity, and the number of halberds also decreases from high to low according to the official position. There are 48, 18, 14, 12, and 10 branches. Different numbers of halberds Corresponding to different grades.

At the beginning, Su Hong was the Guozijian Jijiu and lived in the third rank. In fact, he was also qualified to list ten halberds in front of the gate, but the Su family did not have it. It was because although the Guozijian Jijiu was of high rank, he did not have much real power. The front row halberd, I'm afraid it will provoke the ridicule of my colleagues.

But now that Su Hong is shooting from Zuo Pu, the second-rank Shangshu, the Su family can naturally line up twelve halberds in front of the gate.

For a moment, Wei Zhe was filled with emotions.

Once upon a time, the Su family was nothing more than a scholarly family who had been buried in old papers for generations. Although they were highly respected in the eyes of scholars all over the world, they didn't have much status in the court.

But since their Su family got married with Qi Wang Xiao Jie, in less than two years, the Su family was able to ascend to heaven. Not only did Su Hong become Shangshu Zuo Pushe, who is known as the "chief of officials", even his talent and virtue Even the mediocre son Su Jing could sit in Jiaozhou and become a great official in the frontier, and the Su family also rose to become an upstart in the court.

If the king of Qi, Xiao Jie, can really inherit the great power in the future, the Su family will probably become even more prestigious. Coupled with their lofty status in the hearts of scholars all over the world, the Su family may not be able to become a new famous family.

Looking at the current prominence of the Su family, and thinking about the current situation of their Wei family, Wei Zhe couldn't help but secretly lamented that he was really smart and confused all his life.

One of the most important reasons why the emperor used the Su family so much was obviously to prepare for the official appointment of Qi Wang Xiao Jie as the prince in the future.

The holy heart is for the king of Qi, but the aristocratic families in Guanzhong and Heluo want to support the king of Wei, which is definitely not wise.

It's just that they want to support Wei Wang Xiao Mao not only because Xiao Mao is the son-in-law of their Wei family, but also because Xiao Jie's containment and suppression of their family and big family has aroused their dissatisfaction and anxiety. Assuming the throne, the status of their aristocratic families in the court may further decline.

It was precisely because of this dissatisfaction and anxiety that they chose to stand on the opposite side of Xiao Jie, and attempted to cut off Xiao Jie's financial support by dealing with the Tao family, but the final result was that both Xiao Jie and the Tao family were safe and sound, but The six great families in Guanzhong and Heluo are in trouble. If they are not careful, the century-old reputation of the family may be destroyed in one day.

But it was precisely because of this failure that Wei Zhe suddenly realized Xiao Jie's terrifying strength.

Xiao Jie is now adoptive under the name of Empress Sun, nominally the emperor's only legitimate son, and legally speaking, he is the most qualified person to inherit the country of Daning.

In the court, Xiao Jie's grandfather-in-law, Su Hongguan, to Shangshu Zuo Pushe, is also the leader of Qingliu, and in the court, he is an existence that promises everything.

In terms of locality, Su Jing, the governor of Jiaozhou, is his father-in-law, Ye Qiu, the governor of An'an, is his old department, and Gao Yang, the deputy governor of Youzhou, was rescued from the gate of hell by him. big official.

Not to mention that Xiao Jie himself is still in charge inside and outside the capital, and the Su family, which is as wealthy as a country, is providing him with continuous financial support.

From this point of view, Xiao Mao will never be Xiao Jie's opponent, even the six families of Wei Pei Liu Xue Yang Du combined are not Xiao Jie's opponent.

If they continue to be enemies with Xiao Jie, I am afraid that once Xiao Jie ascends the throne in the future, they will definitely liquidate their families, and they will not escape the fate of copying their families and exterminating their families.

It was precisely because of the realization of the gap in strength between the two sides and Xiao Jie's terrible methods that Wei Zhe decided to put down his face and take the initiative to admit defeat to Xiao Jie, hoping to get his forgiveness and let them go.

But Jingzhao Wei is also a famous family after all, even if Wei Zhe is willing to let go of his face, he still has to consider the reputation of the family, it is impossible to be as cheeky as Zheng Lang who can stand outside the gate of Prince Qi's mansion in the middle of the night to beg for Xiao Jie's forgiveness, If his posture is so low, he will definitely become the laughing stock of his colleagues and the people of the world. I am afraid that their Wei family will never have the face to gain a foothold in the officialdom.

Out of the need to preserve the family's reputation, Wei Zhe thought of finding someone to intercede for the Wei family, and through the other party to release his goodwill of reconciliation to King Qi instead.

And Su Hong is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Firstly, Su Hong is the grandfather-in-law of Xiao Jie, the king of Qi, and his words on Xiao Jie's side still have some weight; secondly, they, Su Hong, are both officials in Shangshu Province. Although they don't have deep friendship, they see each other every day. , Su Hong may not pull his face down and refuse.

However, with Su Hong's upright nature, Wei Zhe was not sure whether Su Hong would be willing to be the peacemaker to intercede with Qi Wang Xiao Jie on their behalf.

While Wei Zhe was still thinking about it, the door of the Su Mansion opened wide, and Su Hong hurried out. Seeing Wei Zhe on the steps, he rushed forward to greet Wei Zhe, bowing to Wei Zhe: "Please refer to the Minister's Order."

When Wei Zhe saw that Su Hong went out to meet him in person, he couldn't help feeling a little more hopeful in his heart. It seemed that Su Hong still respected him as a superior, and maybe he was willing to help him.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhe hurriedly stepped forward to prevent Su Hong from saluting himself, and said with a smile: "This is Su's residence, not the Minister of Ministers, so there are no officials and ministers, I just came to visit the door when I have nothing to do Just visit Mr. Su to catch up on the old days."

Wei Zhe's seemingly affectionate attitude made Su Hong a little uncomfortable for a while. Although he and Wei Zhe were both officials in Shangshu Province, the friendship between the two of them was far from reaching the level of going directly to the door without handing over the greeting card, and even more so. There is no old love to recount, and he has also heard more or less about the recent fights between the six surnames of Guanzhong and Heluo, headed by the Wei family, and his grandson-in-law Xiao Yuming. Hsu related.

Su Hong didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Wei Zheren had already come outside the gate of the Su residence, and it was not good for Su Hong to keep him out, lest people say that the Su family was rude and neglect the superior.

Therefore, Su Hong politely welcomed Wei Zhe into the mansion, invited his servants to serve hot tea, and greeted Wei Zhe without saying a word.

Wei Zhe didn't seem to have any important matters, he was talking and laughing with Su Hong all the time, never mentioning about Shengtai Bank and the reconciliation with Xiao Jie.

This actually made Su Hong a little strange, he couldn't figure out Wei Zhe's intention for a while.

The two talked for a while longer, and Su Hong was the first to hold back when he saw that the exposure was deeper, and asked Wei Zhe why he came here: "Master Shang Shuling visited Su's residence late at night, I'm afraid it's not just for the purpose of chatting with the officials."

Wei Zhe secretly smiled in his heart. Although Su Hong was a high-ranking man, he was still a bit upright after all, and he was far less sophisticated than himself in the way of being an official.I came to the door today to ask for help, if I would explain my intentions as soon as I met, if the owner was unwilling to help, it would embarrass both sides.

If the other party took the initiative to ask, and I followed the trend to make my own request, even if the other party didn't want to help, I couldn't just refuse.
