Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 109 I think Wei Qing is not guilty
The two ultimate representatives of the civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Han Zhang and Bao Xiaosu, have already expressed their stance at this moment.

Needless to say, the former is the head of the civil servants; although the latter is not the prime minister, his character is deeply admired by the civil servants.

Suddenly, more and more civil servants began to stand up and speak out:

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Bao said makes sense. If the price for the reconciliation between the two countries is to be patient and tolerant for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, then there is no need for so-called harmony!"

"The envoy from Liao killed by General Wei was molesting my Zhou Dynasty woman in the street. Shouldn't he be killed? If not, how should the people of Zhou Dynasty view this matter?"

"That's right, if we don't kill him, it will be unforgivable! From now on, people in the world will say that the people of Liao are superior to me and I am equal to Da Yi!"

"."

The few civil servants and censors who had previously proposed to punish Wei Yuan were now eager to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

They think that if a general makes a mistake, as long as he persists in doing so, he will surely win praise from everyone.

But the fact is that they are the ones advocating excellence.

Ask yourself, wouldn't it be very satisfying for Wei Yuan to kill the Liao envoy?
If I had known it would be a scene like this, I would have helped Wei Yuan speak for him from the beginning!
To this day, they still feel that they should not say anything about punishing Wei Yuan for going beyond the law.

What they really did wrong was a matter of stance and speaking for the Liao people.

Yelu Xin was a military commander first and a human being at the same time. It was difficult for him to withstand the verbal attacks of Zhou Dynasty ministers.

At this point, he didn't know what to say, because reason and justice were on Zhou's side.

There was a pause.

Zhao Zhen pretended to cough twice, which silenced the Zichen Hall. Then, he slowly said:

"Just because he is an envoy, he should not do anything that harms the harmony between the two countries."

"That man wants to do evil to our people in the busy city, and he should be executed!"

"Qing Wei is not only not at fault in this matter, but also meritorious."

The voice just fell.

Yeluxin had no choice but to swallow the matter first.

Zhao Zhen obviously wanted to defend Yuan.

Nothing can be said at this point.

Is it just that Wei Yuan is right? Still have merit?
Is this still the Emperor of Zhou in my impression?

While he was thinking.

Bao Xiaosu took the lead in bowing and saying:

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

In an instant, many civil servants and officials said one after another:
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"General Wei deserves credit for saving my face, the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"I second the proposal!"

"."

It has been a long time since the great Zhou Dynasty saw such a scene of unity among civil servants and military generals.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Yeluxin for this.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Previously, I asked Wei Qing to handle the envoys from the two countries. If the envoys make mistakes, Wei Qing will punish them. It is natural that they have served the people. Their rewards will be discussed later."

In other words, Zhao Zhen wanted to reward Wei Yuan, but he could not do it in front of the Liao envoy.

Otherwise, Ye Luxin, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, would be extremely embarrassed.

Of course, Yelu Xinxian's face doesn't look good now.

After the end of the dynasty.

Zhang Fu specially found Han Zhang.

"I would like to thank Mr. Han for what happened today. If you hadn't said it, I don't know how many people would have jumped out and said that my disciple was wrong."

It is understandable that Bao Xiaosu helped Wei Yuan. After all, he was a witness and the governor of Kaifeng.

Wei Yuan has finally done his job.

But he also lost his reputation.

Han Zhang opened his mouth to help Wei Yuan, which Zhang Fu never expected.

Han Zhang said: "Prime Minister, I am just focusing on the matter and not the person. This matter, from beginning to end, was caused by the lust of the Liao envoy. This person deserves to be killed."

Once a literati has murderous intentions, he is sometimes more terrifying than a martial artist.
-
At noon that day, Zhao Zhen's reward for Wei Yuan had already come down.

He was not rewarded with any official position, but mostly with money.

It goes without saying that with Wei Yuan's current wealth, he surpassed at least half of the nobles in the capital.

You know, he has just begun to accumulate a family fortune.

The meaning of Zhao Zhen's reward to Wei Yuan is also very clear, which is to tell the people of Zhou Dynasty, whether they are Liao people or Xia people, no matter what their status is. As long as a mistake is made in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be punished.

This is no longer the time to tolerate everything.

Nowadays, although Di Qing is gone in Dazhou, there is still Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai.

Among the younger generation, there are also Wei Yuan, Xu Changzhi and others.

The victory in the Daizhou battle allowed Zhao Zhen to regain the ambition of his youth.

now.

In the residence of Uncle Zhongyong.

Minglan looked at the imperial edict written by His Majesty the Emperor himself and smiled:

"Uncle, this time you can be said to have a rich family."

Zhao Zhen rewarded Wei Yuan with eight imperial mansions and several shops owned by the imperial merchants.

This kind of family fortune is rare in Bianjing.

Wei Yuan was also surprised by this incident.
"The officials are benevolent. I thought that not punishing me would be a sign of mercy, but I didn't expect that they would reward me."

Minglan smiled and said: "This shows that uncle, you are in the emperor's heart, and His Majesty has great trust in uncle."

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense."

Minglan said: "What can't you say at home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from not far away,
"Girl Ming is right, Yuan'er, you are indeed in the emperor's heart."

Hearing the sound, Wei Yuan immediately stood up and bowed: "I have met the teacher."

The one who came was Zhang Fu.

Whether Wei Yuan goes to the British government or Zhang Fu comes here, there is no need to notify.

Minglan bowed deeply and said, "Greetings to my uncle and grandpa."

He can call the other person uncle or great-grandfather.

Mainly Wei Shu didn't care about this, so he addressed him according to Wei Yuan's etiquette.

Zhang Fu waved his hand, "The common etiquette is waived, Yuan'er. The envoys from the two countries gave us a reply and promised to give us one million shi of food."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan was surprised and said, "You got an answer so quickly?"

After hearing this, Minglan wisely left.

Zhang Fu sat opposite Wei Yuan and said, "They said that the two countries would work together to raise millions of shi of grain to send to me, Dazhou, but it would take a certain amount of time to arrange it."

The latter said: "When will the food arrive and when will we let them go to the Forbidden Army camp?"

The former shook his head and said: "After the dispersion of the dynasty, Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo first went to the palace to meet the saint and told the officials about the matter. The official Long Yan was very happy and asked his teacher to tell you that he would take the envoys of the two countries to the Forbidden Army barracks tomorrow. , to show the might of our great Zhou army."

"The officials agreed?" Wei Yuan frowned and said, "What if they go to the Forbidden Army camp and find excuses to delay the food supply?"

Zhang Fu sighed: "How can the officials not know this? In the hearts of the officials, those grains are not necessary."

Wei Yuan was silent.

Zhang Fu said: "Since the decree has been issued, there is nothing wrong with you taking them to the Forbidden Army barracks tomorrow and letting them see the style of our Forbidden Army officers."

"Master, I came here today because of one more thing. I have thought about it. I think it is feasible for you to recognize Wei Qing as your ancestor."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "What does the teacher mean?"

Zhang Fu said: "Wei Qing has been loyal to Han Wu all his life. His Majesty's civil administration has reached its peak, but his martial arts are still lacking."

"During the morning meeting, Your Majesty bluntly stated that you have done nothing wrong and have made meritorious deeds, and made it clear that you do not care about the so-called peace of the alliance between the countries. In other words, Your Majesty is no longer worried about another war."

"Your Majesty may be thinking about establishing the perfect martial arts."

From such a detail, we can figure out Zhao Zhen's thoughts.

It can be seen that Zhang Fu knows this benevolent gentleman very well.

After hearing what he said, Wei Yuan also understood.

If at this time, he recognized Wei Qing as his ancestor and Zhao Zhen knew about it, if Zhao Zhen had the slightest intention, he would compare himself to Han Wu.

Then it is a good thing for Wei Yuan.

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. Once the ancestral temple is established, I will report it to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty personally issue a decree to revise the family tree of our Wei family."

Wei Yuan spoke slowly.

If Zhao Zhen is willing to let the Ministry of Rites compile his family tree.

Then, the ancestor of his lineage is Wei Qing.

At least, that was the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
