Emperor Sui Yang

Entrusted by his uncle Wei Yue, Wei Shangwei followed Du Ruhui to King Qin's camp to apologize to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming smiled and waved his hands, signaling the other party not to care, he was angry at Wei Yue, not at the little girl.

With him as a matchmaker, Du Ruhui and Wei Shangwei basically couldn't get away with each other. Although it was a bit of a forced marriage, it was unfair to girls, but it was like this in Da Sui, and the marriage was never up to the parties themselves.

Moreover, the women of the Sui Dynasty also recognized this truth, the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers.

Originally, Yang Ming thought that hosting the spring outing would be a very easy job, but it was actually very tiring.

This is an intricate network of relationships, and what Yang Ming has to do is to correct and modify the dense lines connected in this network.

But it can't be changed too much.

Father Yang Guang intends to weaken the influence of the Guanzhong family and enhance the status of the Guandong and Southern families, but Yang Ming believes that this matter should not be too urgent.

The wealthy background of the Guanzhong family is not formed in a day or two, nor can it be weakened in ten or eight years. If these people are allowed to figure out Yang Guang's true intentions, it will be a terrible thing.

In the Wei family camp, Wei Yue stayed in the tent with a few of his followers, chatting about meeting Yang Ming.

It's quite interesting to say, he was the worst of the six brothers in his family. He was originally Yang Yong's prince Xianma with a bright future, but in the end he slandered Yuan Yan, then Shang Shu of the Ministry of War, and offended Yang Jian. The boy is a villain, so he was kicked out of the East Palace and he was not allowed to be an official again.

The brothers of the Wei family also have deep feelings. They felt that the sixth child was doomed in this life, so they all extended a helping hand and distributed some of the family property to Wei Yue. Therefore, the wealth of this old boy is guaranteed in the capital. .

The two largest branches of Jingzhao Webster are Xijuan and Dongjuan. The Xiaoyao Gongfang where Wei Yue lives and the Xunguo Gongfang where the princess is located are both Dongjuan.

The Western Family and the Eastern Family can be traced back to the period of Cao Wei. When Wei Shikang was still alive, there were conflicts between the two branches.

Because Yang Guang came to power, and Master Wei used to be the Sima of Jin Wangfu. After Master Wei died, his adopted son Wei Zhen is now a very good guy, and he is a servant of Huangmen.

Wei Zhen's daughter is currently in the camp, and Wei Yue knows that Wei Zhen also intends to marry the Lanling Xiao family.

"King Qin seemed to get angry in the last morning, and I blamed me for not thinking carefully and speaking inappropriately." Wei Yue looked at all the disciples and said, "Is there any way, everyone, to save one or two."

One of the white-bearded doormen said: "This subordinate thinks that this spring outing is actually a great opportunity for the Wei family."

Wei Yue frowned and said, "How do you say it?"

"This subordinate thinks that His Majesty prefers King Qin to be the heir apparent, and he knows a thing or two just by seeing Gao Jiong return to court," White Beard continued.

Another person asked curiously: "Why can you tell that His Majesty favors the King of Qin from the matter of Gao Jiong?"

White Beard smiled leisurely and said:

"All the lords of the court, Gungun, know in their hearts that His Majesty has not liked Gao Jiong for a long time. When the King of Qin recommended Gao Jiong to return to the court, even Su Wei and the others did not dare to speak out. But Gao Jiong still came back, what does this mean? It means that what His Majesty cares most about right now is King Qin's opinion."

After the white beard glanced at everyone, he continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the king of Qin will be in charge of the East Palace in the future, and Gao Jiong must be the best candidate for the crown prince Xianma."

Wei Yue frowned suddenly: "If so, my Wei family is in danger, so why talk about opportunities?"

White Beard said: "During this spring outing, King Qin is here, we might as well find a way to get married with him, as long as it can be done, no matter who will be the heir apparent in the future, the Wei family will be invincible."

Right now, Jing Zhaowei can only rely on the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess also had an accident, so they need to deploy early and place a long bet.

There are undoubtedly three parties who are competitive for the position of crown prince, Yang You, the direct son of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, Yang Ming, the King of Qin, and Yang Wei, the King of Qi.

Needless to say, the Crown Princess, my own family, the Dongjuanfang has a good relationship with Qi Wangfu, so the one who came forward to curry favor with Yang Ming could only be the Xijuanfang.

Wei Yue frowned and said, "However, King Qin's concubines are already full, and we have no chance."

"It's not that there is no solution, but the risk is too great," White Beard said.

Wayo asked, "How?"

White Beard said: "Xuangan's daughter has been abolished at the moment, and Pei Ju's daughter is upright, so a side concubine will be vacated. The risk is that if we choose this position, it is likely to anger Hongnong Yang and Hedong Pei at the same time." .”

"Stupid words!" Wei Yue said decisively: "Who dares to provoke these two families now? Which one is easy to provoke, Yang Yue or Pei Ju?"

"Brother Su's proposal is simply ridiculous," another person said:

"The king of Qin made a big fuss in the court and devoted himself to defending the princess. This is a well-known fact in the court. His majesty has now brought the son into the palace to raise him in order to appease the Yang family. How dare you make her idea? If we dare to do this If you want to do it, it’s better to find a thick beam and hang yourself.”

White Beard sneered and said: "Chicken and duck, you didn't understand my real intention."

Wei Yue frowned, "Then what do you mean?"

White Beard said hehe: "Wei Gong thinks, is there any conflict between Pei Ju and the Yang family?"

Wei Yue was taken aback for a moment: "You mean, Pei Ju and Yang Yue are already in harmony with each other right now?"

"It must be so. With Pei Ju's current status, seeing his daughter successfully righted, he will definitely not allow anyone to pull his daughter down again," Bai Hu said:

"Yang Yue is insidious and cunning, but he is not Pei Ju's opponent. Even if we don't do anything, there will be a big scene among the concubines in the Qin Palace. When Pei Ju returns to Beijing, just wait and see. will fight."

Another person stood up and said, "What does this have to do with us? Could it be that we also interfere in other people's family affairs? This is taboo."

White Beard gave the man a cold look, turned to Weiyo and said:
"We can sit quietly and watch the tigers fight, but the premise is that someone from the Wei family must enter the Qin Palace. When Yang and Pei are both defeated, it is time for us to take action."

Wei Yue shook his head: "It's too risky. Once you catch fire, the consequences will be disastrous."

White Beard anxiously said: "Duke Wei needs to plan ahead. I think King Qi has a heavy responsibility, and he will definitely not be the crown prince. When it really comes to that time, it will be too late."

"Marriage may not be the only way to make friends with the King of Qin, or you can find another way," said one person, "Jingxinghou (Wei Zhen) is now in an important position, if he only wants to please the King of Qin, it will be more effective than marriage, let alone us Not counting as a marriage, if there is a vacancy for the queen concubine of the Qin Dynasty, each family would have already fought for it."

Another person got up and said: "Mr. Su's method, you may try it. Although Qin Wang is full of concubines, there are many positions for princes and concubines. As long as Qin Wang can enter the East Palace, the girls of the Wei family will not have to worry about having no status. The premise is that the Qin Wang If you want to make friends with Jingxinghou, it is too obvious and may cause criticism. Once Yu Wenshu and others target you, Jingxinghou will have a hard time."

Some people also said: "The Xiao family is a foreign relative after all, marrying them will not have much effect, if you can climb up to King Qin, it is the best strategy."

Everyone said their own things, Wei Yue listened silently, he was the last one to make up his mind after all.

After sending away all the diners, Wei Yue called Wei Zhen's daughter, Wei Xianhui, who was only 16 years old this year.

"Before you came here, did your grandfather explain anything?" Wei Yue asked softly.

Wei Xianhui said indifferently: "Grandfather said, everything depends on uncle."

Wayo smiled and nodded.

Although their Xiaoyao Gongfang had a fight with Wei Zhen's father Wei Shi, it was also an internal fight in the family, and they reconciled early on. For a big family like theirs, internal fighting is not new at all, and it does not affect the unity of the outside world.

"Good boy, I'm really afraid that Uncle has wronged you," Wei Yue sighed, "However, the heights are extremely cold, and in a family like ours, we have never been able to make our own choices."

Wei Xianhui nodded, lowered her head resignedly, and said, "I know."

Wei Yue sighed again: "Go back and prepare. Uncle will send you to a place tonight. Remember, you must try your best to please him."

Wei Xianhui nodded lightly, and left with a lonely expression. The moment she lifted the curtain, she couldn't help crying.

Wei Yue made up his mind and bet on both sides. First, he wrote to Wei Zhen, asking him to get closer to the King of Qin in the future, and then give Wei Zhen's daughter to Yang Ming.

First of all, the interests of the family must be guaranteed. At least after Yang Ming became the prince, he would not think of taking them into action.

As for the battle for the final position, let's wait and see what happens. Although Hongnong Yang and Hedong Pei are strong, Jing Zhaowei is not a vegetarian.

That night, Wei Xianhui was sent to Yang Ming's camp.

"Why is Duke Wei like this? Take him away." Inside the tent, there were only three people, Yang Ming, Feng Yuzhi and Wei Yue, and Wei Xianhui was in the carriage outside the tent, and hadn't gotten off yet.

Feng Yuzhi came again tonight, but this time she came to chat with Yang Ming to relieve boredom, and she had no other intentions, because she was in the camp and had no friends.

With a bitter face, Wei Yue said frankly, "Give me a chance, Your Highness."

"How do you say that?" Yang Ming couldn't help laughing.

Feng Yuzhi who was on the side quickly said: "Can't you see that he is showing favor? Although I don't understand, I also know that he wants to curry favor with you."

Yang Ming looked at Wei Yue: "Is that what you mean?"

"That's what it means," Wei Yue said with a smile.

At this time, Feng Yuzhi stood up suddenly and said, "I'll help you inspect the goods."

After finishing speaking, she left the tent, and after a while, Feng Yuzhi came back, only to hear her sigh:

"Let's take him away. That girl is crying. Obviously she doesn't want to."

What the hell do you know?You think this is your Lingnan, do you still pay attention to whether you are willing or not when it comes to marriage?Wei Yue slandered in his heart, but said:
"When I think about leaving home, I feel sentimental. It's not because I don't want to."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "But I don't want to, Duke Wei, please go back."

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing for a while.

After Wei Yue was stunned for a while, his heart was ashamed, it was over, it seemed that this kid was determined to mess with their family.

"I'm taking the liberty this time, and I'm taking my leave," Wei Yue left worriedly.

Not long after he left, a member of the palace came running in, panting:

"Your Highness, the girl brought by Lord Guan Cheng threw herself into the river as soon as she left the camp."

Yang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and immediately got up.

Wei Yue, this bastard, played too hard, right?
