Qing Jialu

197 Chapter 1 - I'm sorry to fly

After the death of old general Wei Wei, the cabinet immediately set the posthumous title of Wu Yi.After reading the imperial edict, His Majesty added another one, that he deserved to enjoy the Taimiao and be buried with the honor of a county king.After the imperial decree was sealed, it was immediately issued to the northwest.

This is an extremely high honor for a general, and it is also His Majesty's greatest comfort to the Wei family.

At this moment in Xining City, white mourning flags were hung in the barracks, and the soldiers were also wearing white mourning clothes.Everyone's face was sad, filled with a depressive atmosphere.

A mourning hall was temporarily erected in the army, and Wei Mo knelt in front of his father's coffin, silent.He was hoarse from crying, and after being exhausted, he was painless, like a wooden man.

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes outside the mourning hall, and there was a lot of noise.A soldier went to stop him, but he was knocked to the ground with a horsewhip.

Wei Mo turned his head and saw his elder brother rushing to the coffin in hemp and mourning, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly.

Only then did Wei Yuan learn the sad news of his father's death. Fortunately, he was in Jincheng, close by, so he rushed to mourn the funeral.

Wei Mo hasn't seen his elder brother for a long time, and he didn't feel any joy when he first met him, he just felt strange.

After he had cried enough, Wei Mo said lightly, "My condolences will change."

"Wei Mo, why are you here?" Wei Yuan seemed to have just caught sight of his second brother, and suddenly sneered, "You are not worthy of guarding father's spirit, get out, father doesn't have a son like you."

His eldest brother really didn't make any progress.I thought that the elder brother would become calmer as he got older, but he was still as violent as before.

"Father has recognized me." Wei Mo said expressionlessly.

"Father has gone, so whatever you say is fine." Wei Yuan rolled his eyes, "Unfortunately, I don't recognize it, and the Wei family doesn't recognize it."

When Wei Mo heard this, he laughed angrily, "Since when did you represent the Wei family?"

"I'm the eldest son, and my father has gone, so naturally it's my turn to be the master of the family." Wei Yuan said loftily, "What are you, born of a concubine, and you want to recognize your ancestors?"

"I said why did you rush over here to attend the funeral? That's how it is." Wei Mo saw it, and exposed Wei Yuan's purpose with one word, "The funeral is fake, but the seizure of power is real. Wei Yuan, you want to be the Patriarch so impatiently? "

"You, bold!" Wei Yuan raised his hand and wanted to slap his younger brother, but Wei Mo grabbed his wrist.

"Do you think everyone is like you, and you care about the Wei family?" Wei Mo squeezed the elder brother's wrist severely before letting him go, "I don't care if the Wei family recognizes me, as long as my father recognizes me. However, On top of family law, there is military law. General Wei Yuan, who told you to leave Jincheng without authorization?"

"You!" Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at his father's spiritual tablet, "When the commander-in-chief dies, even ordinary generals should come to express their condolences."

"The situation at the border is critical now, and there is no order from the commander. You are not allowed to leave your post. Look, besides you, which of the guards from other cities has come?" Wei Mo said coldly, "General Wei Yuan, what should you do?"

"The coach is dead, how can there be any transfer order?"

"I am the deputy general personally appointed by His Majesty, and the seal of commander is in my hand. My order is the commander's order." Wei Mo said loudly, "Come here, pull out, and beat thirty army sticks."

"How dare you! Wei Mo, you bastard, how dare you hit me?"

However, no matter how loud Wei Yuan's voice was, Wei Mo's personal soldiers would not heed it.They dragged General Wei Yuan outside to enforce the military law in public on the school grounds.

Many soldiers heard the news and rushed to the school grounds to watch the execution.They didn't expect that the eldest brother and the second child of the Wei family had reached a situation where fire and water could not be tolerated, and they had a falling out in the mourning hall when General Wei's bones were still cold.

On the other side, Vice-General Zhang, a subordinate of Old General Wei, hurried into the mourning hall. He anxiously persuaded, "Young General Wei, the Thirty Army's stick is hurting your muscles and bones. Why do you two brothers have such a stiff fight and let outsiders see the joke?"

"It's not a new thing for me to be at odds with the Wei family." Wei Mo looked directly at his father's spiritual tablet, and said indifferently, "Now that the commander-in-chief has passed away, the morale of the army is unstable. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, how can we compete with Xiou?"

Deputy General Zhang suddenly realized, "You are killing chickens for monkeys to see, and you want to gain prestige in the army?"

"Exactly." Wei Mo looked at Deputy General Zhang with an innocent face, "Uncle Zhang, I don't want to have a conflict with my elder brother at this time. Who told him that his fate is bad, and he happened to run into each other?"

After the death of General Wei, the burden of the Northwest fell on Wei Mo's shoulders.He submitted the brochure to His Majesty, explaining the current situation in the Northwest, and the details of the negotiations between him and the second prince of Xiou in Qilian Mountains.

The memorial soon arrived at the cabinet, and Xu Rui, the second assistant, was shocked after reading it. He secretly glanced at Shen Jia, who was sitting in the seat, and then handed the memorial to Ma Tao.

Mr. Ma Ge was also dumbfounded after reading it at a glance, and stared at the notebook in his hand with a sad face.That memorial is like a hot potato, you can't take it or throw it away.

Xu Cifu signaled with his eyes, asking him to hand it to Shen Shoufu.But Ma Tao was very timid, and shook his head to express that he didn't dare.

"What are you two doing?" Shen Jia had just approved a memorial, when she looked up, she saw the two court elders winking and making small movements.

"It's okay." Ma Tao quickly denied.

But Xu Rui said: "Old Ma Ge has a memorial from the Northwest, please have a look."

"Why didn't you give it to me earlier." Shen Jia said angrily, "Bring it quickly."

Hearing this, Ma Tao had no choice but to stand up, walked over slowly, and carefully handed the hot potato to Shen Jia.

Afterwards, he hurried back to his seat, and pretended to open the memorial and make an ostrich-like appearance.

Sure enough, not long after, Shen Jia threw the notebook on the table, "Absurd, what is Wei Mo messing around with? Type this notebook back, and you are not allowed to criticize it."

Ma Tao trembled when he heard this, and dared not speak.

As the second assistant, Xu Rui had no choice but to persuade: "Master Chief Assistant, this is the Northwest Military News, you must show it to His Majesty. The cabinet has no right to detain it privately, let alone call it back."

Shen Jia looked at Xu Rui with red eyes, "What do you mean, do you agree with Wei Mo's nonsense?"

"Your Majesty can't make a judgment, you have to ask His Majesty to make a decision."

"Your Majesty decides?" Shen Jia had already guessed how Xiao Yi would react if he found out, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, so I can't let him see it."

"Shen Shoufu, you are abolishing the government for personal reasons!" Xu Rui finally said forcefully, "I know that you and His Majesty... are in love with each other, but this is a major military and national issue. You can't ignore the Northwest War because of personal relationships."

"That's the reason." Ma Tao, who had been afraid to speak, couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Majesty still has Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, Mr. Shen Ge, even if we intercept this memorial, we won't be able to stop His Majesty's eyes and ears. It's just the difference between a few days earlier and a few days later, why bother?"

"And withholding the military newspaper privately is a crime of copying the family and exterminating the family. Mr. Shen Ge, relying on His Majesty's favor, you can do anything wrong. There are hundreds of people in our family, old and young, and I dare not accompany you in the decapitation business." Xu Rui was not polite. He said, "If you don't hand over this booklet, we will hand it over for you."

"Okay, then you can pass it up." Shen Jia threw the notebook to Xu Rui again, "When Mr. Xu Ge handed over the notebook, please tell Your Majesty, I will never agree."

After finishing speaking, Shen Jia walked away in a huff.
