III Jiangshan

Wei Fu.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but grandpa is still so hale and hearty, which is gratifying!" Yuan Youqi said.

Wei Xun smiled heartily, waved his hands and said: "Old man, old man! It's just an old face, His Majesty and His Highness don't dislike that's all!"

He is in his late sixties, and it has only been a year or two since he retired from office.But the spirit is very good, the waist is not bent, the back is not stooped, and the majesty of a general in his prime can still be found while walking.

In his words, he put himself and his father together. With his identity and experience as a veteran of the three dynasties, he definitely did not do it casually.

Yuan Youqi knew it in his heart, and said: "Grandpa has high expectations, and Xiao Wang dare not disappoint."

Wei Xun looked at Yuan Youqi with shrewd eyes, and said with a smile: "The Wei family has been loyal and conscientious for generations, and has been dedicated to the king's affairs. I hope His Highness will take pity on you."

At the end, the voice trembled.

Yuan Youqi knew that Wei Xun was thinking of the Marquis of Yongyi who died tragically back then, but the truth was ruthlessly covered up, and felt pity, and said solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Wang will definitely give the Wei family justice!"

Wei Xun felt relieved when he heard this.The death of his second son, Wei Yiyang, was a hurdle that he could never overcome in his life, but the one who killed his child was still the emperor who is now aloof by Dawei; but, he had to endure all the pain, pretending to know nothing, Still bow down to the enemy who killed his son.

Wei Xun sighed, temporarily put aside those sad and painful memories, and said to Yuan Youqi: "Since Your Highness is here, at least try the wine in the mansion before leaving."

As he spoke, he led Yuan Youqi to the inside and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it at the wine table."

The old man who is nearly seventy years old is still so excited, Yuan Youqi also likes it, and he said kindly: "As Grandpa said, Xiao Wang asks for a few glasses of wine before leaving."

Three rounds of wine.

Yuan Youqi intermittently told Wei Xun about Tangmen.

Wei Xun pondered for a moment, and said: "This is not difficult. No matter how powerful the Tang family is, it is not an official. There has always been a taboo of 'confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the prohibition'. He also dared not fight back with force."

Yuan Youqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Besides, as the concubine Xian said, replacing the head of the Tang Sect is a great thing for the country. Selling weapons and medicines to the Qiang people is no different from treason. There is no need to disturb His Majesty any more about the investigation and handling by local officials, and make him tired."

With just a few words, he explained the matter in a high-sounding manner, eliminating harm for the country, relieving worries for the king, and promoting the well-being of the people. Happy result.Yuan Youqi couldn't learn this ability by himself, but he couldn't help admiring it.

But Wei Xun said again: "I have heard about that Tang Sheng. The person who is valued by the concubine must be capable and loyal. Such a person can be used."

Yuan Youqi raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this.From this point of view, is the mother concubine in constant contact with the Wei Mansion?

She didn't really care about this matter, after all, the concubine mother would not harm her.

Wei Xun looked slightly drunk, squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Yuan Youqi, and said slowly: "It's not easy for a concubine Xian, she has worked hard to raise her highness, and now she has the same future as her highness, your highness should be more considerate and filial to her." !"

Yuan Youqi was stunned, and thought that he was the child of his mother and concubine, and it was a due duty to honor her concubine.

However, after thinking about it, the grandfather is the father of the mother and concubine, and it is human nature for parents in the world to love their children.Thinking about how mother concubine loves me, I guess I am seventy or eighty years old. In the eyes of mother concubine, I am still like a child. The love will only increase but not decrease.

Yuan Youqi understood it, and said solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Wang will honor mother and concubine for the rest of his life!"

She didn't say any bold words, just such a simple sentence was enough to express her heart.

Wei Xun was not in a hurry to be moved, or had any other reaction.

He still stared at Yuan Youqi's face for a long time, then Fang nodded and said solemnly: "Your Highness must remember what you said today."

Yuan Youqi was slightly surprised, but didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Of course I will remember it forever."

Wei Xun let out a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, suddenly picked up half a glass of wine in front of him, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.

But he was choked by the liquor rushing down his throat, "cough cough" coughed twice.

"Grandpa drink slowly!" Yuan Youqi hurriedly took the empty cup, and patted Wei Xun on the back to comfort him.

At this moment, there are only their grandparent and grandson in the house, so Yuan Youqi is duty-bound.

Wei Xun managed to straighten out his tone, and said: "Poor parents in the world, Your Highness must remember! No matter what parents do, it is for their own children..."

Yuan Youqi heard his voice crying, but he didn't think of any relationship with him, but thought of what his mother and concubine had said to him——

Back then, the imperial father coveted Miss Gu Jingyan, but at that time, Gu Jingyan had already had a marriage contract with Wei Yiyang, the Erlang of the Wei family.The father didn't want to let Gu Jingyan go, and he didn't want to bear the notoriety of "coveting the minister's wife" among the officials, so he planted spies in Wei Yiyang's army, pretending to be a spy of Wule, and shot and killed Hou Yongyi on the battlefield.

When he first heard about this, Yuan Youqi almost jumped up in shock: Is this what an emperor should do!

Destroy the pillars of self-destruction and indulge the border troubles!

Just to get the courtier's fiancée, to do such a nasty thing of murdering the courtier and hurting the heavens and reason!

Yuan Youqi thought that the father was crazy!No!How can such a person be worthy of being her father?How do you deserve to be the emperor of Wei?

However, after this incident, what did the Wei family do?

As the head of the Wei family, it is impossible for Wei Xun not to get some rumors.The courageous Hou Zhijun is strict, and most of the soldiers under his command are impassioned and good men. How could he have several spies mixed in for no reason?

Wei Xun is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has a very thorough understanding of Emperor Wei's temperament.Since he suspected that his son had died strangely, for the sake of the Wei family and his children and grandchildren, he had to do something to dispel Emperor Wei's suspicion.

Therefore, after learning the news that "Hou Yongyi was shot and killed by Ule's spies", he quietly ordered his eldest son Wei Zhouyang to rush to the post house with the guards in his house, and killed all the Ule envoys in the post house. !

In this way, most of Emperor Wei's worries about the fact that the Wei family might know the truth disappeared.Wei Zhouyang was also punished by Emperor Wei later, but the punishment was light and light for such a major event as the death of several Ule envoys.

Not long after, Wei Zhouyang was promoted to an official by Emperor Wei, and was entrusted with an important task, and was sent to the northern border to guard against the Ule people.After that, there was the "King Wei Yan" who made the Ule people terrified.

This incident made Yuan Youqi admire Mr. Wei Xun.

Not everyone can bear the vengeance of murdering their sons, and have suffered for so many years.Not everyone can rationally make the most appropriate judgment in such a painful and anxious time.

Because of Wei Xun's actions, the Wei family survived.

Yuan Youqi couldn't imagine that without Wei Xun's decision back then, would he be where he is today.

While she was thinking, Wei Xun kept staring at her face, wondering what she was thinking.

Yuan Youqi came back to his senses, only to hear Wei Xun say: "Your Highness, you are going to take an unusual path, and you have to think a lot and make preparations to be safe."

Yuan Youqi received the teaching awe-inspiringly, and said, "I have written down what Grandpa said."

She said, filling the cup for Wei Xun and herself, holding the cup with both hands, and said respectfully: "In the future, I need more guidance from my grandpa, please don't hesitate to enlighten me! I will drink this cup to the full, and grandpa will use his discretion, so don't hurt your body. "

Wei Xun's eyes showed admiration, and he drank it like Yuan Youqi.

"Whatever you want to ask, feel free to ask, Grandpa will tell you what he knows." Wei Xun said stupefiedly.

Yuan Youqi thought for a while and said, "I really want to ask Grandpa about something."

"Say."

Yuan Youqi finally expressed the question in his heart: "How is Zhang Guogong?"

After hearing this, Wei Xun first smiled: "Qi Haoran? He is also a man with deep hatred..."

There is also a deep hatred?With the emperor?Yuan Youqi chewed on this sentence.

"Back then, Qi Haoran's youngest daughter, Qi Yingyue, was a disciple of Immortal Hua Cun. She was extremely talented in learning Taoism. Later, Immortal Hua Cun went to the palace to preach for His Majesty, and she was the only one when she left..." Wei Xun recalled the past.

Yuan Youqi listened attentively.

Only Wei Xun said again: "For some reason, Your Majesty has taken a fancy to Qi Yingyue, oh, her Taoist name is 'Yuan Chong'... Your Majesty has taken a fancy to Yuan Chong's Taoism and insisted on keeping her in the palace. Refining alchemy for myself. Immortal Hua Cun couldn't resist, so Yuan Chong stayed in the palace like this."

Yuan Chong...

Yuan Youqi whispered and repeated the name.

"Later, a major event happened in the palace..." Wei Xun said here, and glanced at Yuan Youqi's expression.

Seeing that Yuan Youqi was doing as usual, he simply skipped the "big event" and continued: "More than a month later, Yuan Chong actually died. There was no corpse left, only a jar of ashes, which was taken by Immortal Hua Cun I personally sent it to Zhang Guogong's mansion."

Yuan Youqi only felt strange when he heard it.

"You also find it strange?" Wei Xun let out a hey, and said again, "Your Majesty didn't explain anything, even the real Hua Cun didn't say anything in detail. Let me ask you, who else in this world can make the Daoist Hua Cun reach the sky? You don't even want to tell the truth of the matter? Besides, the one who died was her most beloved apprentice!"

Yuan Youqi has already understood: the "who" is probably only his own father, right?

Was it father who killed Qi Yingyue?

But why kill her?Did she know something important?

So what is the "big thing"?

Yuan Youqi instinctively felt that he was inseparable from Gu Jingyan, and even Hou Yongyi.

However, Wei Xun obviously didn't want her to continue thinking, and continued: "Qi Yingyue has been doted on by Zhang Guogong and his wife since she was a child, and she has been placed with high hopes. Who would have thought that after many years, only a jar of ashes would be returned in exchange. The wife of his family lamented the death of her granddaughter, and since then she has never been able to recover from illness, and has stayed in bed for more than ten years."

Yuan Youqi felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the Mrs. Tai who passed away not long ago.

"Later, even Daoist Hua Cun disappeared. Some people said that she had ascended to the throne, while others said that she had passed away. Only her young disciple, Daoist Yuanling, was still practicing in Yunxu Temple. But back then, Daoist Yuanling was only ten years old. She has no idea how old she is!"

"Since then, as far as I know, Zhang Guogong has a knot in his heart. His Majesty treats Zhang Guogong's mansion well, the son is promoted frequently, and the eldest granddaughter is even engaged to His Royal Highness Zhao Wang... But, the knot in Zhang Guogong's heart... , I’m afraid it’s not so easy to untie.”

"Grandpa means that Zhang Guogong is trustworthy?" Yuan Youqi finally asked.

"Not only is it credible, but the strength of the Qi family can also be relied on." Wei Xun's eyes were deep.

Because of the same hatred, we can condense into a force to defend against the enemy, take revenge, and revenge, right?Yuan Youqi understood it this way.

Suddenly, a messy voice came from outside the door, and I vaguely heard: "Girl, you can't go in!"

The author has something to say: So, Gu Heng is the real big boss behind the scenes, okay?
