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

Chapter 142 Aunt Kang

Because before Wei Yuan appointed the generals, he had already written a letter and submitted it to Zhao Zhen.

And got Zhao Zhen's permission.

Therefore, at this time, many officials should know about this matter.

All the generals and generals of the new army have been appointed as our own. This matter cannot be hidden, and the censor will not agree.

Therefore, Wei Yuan had already thought of his words.

Before he approached the Xuanzheng Hall, he heard the impassioned voices of the censors,

"Your Majesty, the men deployed by Uncle Zhongyong are all generals who have been promoted all the way from Daizhou with him. They can be said to be his confidants. Such behavior is unfathomable."

"The purpose of forming the new army is to increase the military strength of our great Zhou Dynasty. It is the army of the country and the army of the country. However, Wei Yuan is so nepotistic. Does he want to turn this army into an army for his family?"

"Official, you have always been kind, but this matter involves nearly a hundred thousand troops, so we should not take it lightly!"

"They say you are suspected of nepotism and want to turn the new army into a private army for your family."

"What I did was just to train the new army. Please tell me, Your Majesty!"

Moreover, if Zhao Zhen does not let Wei Yuan use the direct lineage of Daizhou.

But this didn't stop Han Zhang from feeling disgusted with him from time to time.

Then, noble forces can easily penetrate.

Even Zhao Zhen was curious: "Oh? You have nothing to say, and you said that you will never regard the New Army as your own private army? Then Wei Qing, why do you use nepotism?"

Wei Yuan looked at them and continued:
"Just now, your lords said that the people I choose are all my confidants. In fact, this is wrong."

The new army he wants is a new army without any problems of noble sons and redundant soldiers.

You want to ask him what he thinks?
When we tell Wei Yuan's true thoughts, shouldn't you look extremely angry?

The censor was stunned when he heard this. This question seemed like a trap?

"No." Manager Zhu bowed solemnly and said loudly: "Xuan Zhongyong Bo Weiyuan comes to see you."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wei Yuan continued: "I, Xu Changzhi and others fought bloody battles for fame and fortune, but more importantly, for our family, country, and your Majesty."

"."

Ok?
What does this mean?
Admit nepotism?
Have nothing to say?

When the censors heard these words from the emperor, their hearts suddenly became cold.

"I am indeed nepotistic, but I have no intention of treating the new army as a private army. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand to signal him to stand up, and slowly said:

What are these censors talking about when His Majesty agrees?
Afterwards, Wei Yuan stood outside the hall.

Wei Yuan bowed solemnly and said:
"Your Majesty, I know very well that training the new army is related to the lifeline of our family and country."

This was inconsistent with his original intention of training new troops.

Wei Yuan didn't need to think about it to know that behind these people, there was probably Han Zhang's instruction.

After hearing this, Wei Yuan stepped into the main hall and treated him with courteous etiquette.

No honors are needed, only people from Wei Yuan can be used.

"What do you think of it?"

Just when the censor was about to retort.

"In order for me to train the new army into the elite soldiers that Your Majesty wants, I can only use the generals who have shared the joys and sorrows with me."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen, who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Let him in."

"You may not say that they are my confidants, but I am also loyal to Your Majesty and to my country, the country of Great Zhou Dynasty."

what does it mean?

Although he has reached some kind of compromise with Han Zhang now.

The censors were not fools, and their brows gradually furrowed, subconsciously thinking that this matter was by no means that simple.

This is also the reason why Wei Yuan asked Zhao Zhen to offend the nobles, and Zhao Zhen really gave the decree.

Just when those censors were at a loss, Wei Yuan's voice gradually sounded in their ears,
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. I have heard what several adults have said."

Wei Yuan said: "My lords, please ask yourselves, why did our soldiers fight bloody battles at Yanmen in Daizhou?"

"Although I was lucky enough to win a few victories at the border, my prestige in the army is still not as high as others."

In fact, nepotism among military generals was the norm in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen had no extra choice.

"Your Majesty, Zhongyong Bo Weiyuan is here."

One of the censors asked: "Why is it wrong?"

General Manager Zhu entered the palace to report to Zhao Zhen.

"Only in this way can we start training the new army as soon as possible."

"We ministers are His Majesty's confidants. As long as we can share His Majesty's worries, what can I do if I am accused of nepotism?"

"If you really feel sorry for me, sir, it would be better for you to train the new army. You must know how to train the new army better than me, who has written the actual records of military training."

Several censors frowned deeply and said one after another:

"Uncle Zhongyong, that's not what you said."

"It's true that we are all His Majesty's confidants, but after all, those people were promoted from Daizhou to the capital with you, so it's not appropriate!"

"."

Wei Yuan sighed, "I understand."

"Xianggong Han said that military generals should not interfere with the affairs of civil servants." "In the end, civil servants can give advice on military matters?"

"If, following the opinions of several adults, we replace those generals who fought bloody battles for His Majesty at the border, what if the new army will not improve in the future?"

"So, should you be the one to shoulder this responsibility?"

One censor blurted out: "We are just discussing the matter, why should we be burdened with it?"

One of them, the censor, tugged on his collar and signaled him not to say anything.

Wei Yuan was waiting for his words,

"Since you can't take responsibility, you have no right to discuss the affairs of the New Army."

"If the new army fails, I will bear the responsibility. If the new army succeeds, His Majesty will be majestic."

"You just said a few words and asked me to replace the general who was willing to sacrifice his life and blood for the country and His Majesty. What are your intentions?"

"I think you are the one with the disobedience, right?"

The censor was furious and trembling all over, "You, you, you are so presumptuous!"

Wei Yuan frowned and said: "You are the one who is presumptuous. As a civil servant, you still point out military affairs. You are quite ambitious!"

The censor was panicked. This general had an open mouth. Why was he talking nonsense?

He knelt down towards Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, the loyalty of my ministers can be seen from the sun and the moon!"

Wei Yuan pointed outside the palace, "Didn't you look at the sky when you came here? The sky is gloomy and dim today. Where did the sun and moon come from?"

"You!" The censor was speechless. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult general.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud, waved his hand and said, "You all can go down."

Those censors wanted to say something else.

But seeing Zhao Zhen frowning tightly, they all gave up their thoughts and did not dare to say anything more.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Wei Yuan meaningfully,
"I heard your teacher say that you are good at sophistry, and I have seen it today."

Wei Yuan quickly knelt down and said, "What I said is true."

"If I don't use the generals of Daizhou, I will have no one to use."

"What's the point of using Xungui to form a new army?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I called you here today to help you once and for the last time."

"The burden of the new army will completely fall on you."

After that, he wrote an imperial edict himself.

He actually dismissed all the censors who came to participate in the performance.

When Wei Yuan saw this, he finally understood that Zhao Zhen had called him over not to listen to what he had to say.

But to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

In this way, the new army will save a lot of trouble.

Wei Yuan bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
-
In mid-October, Hualan got married.

On this day, the Sheng family was full of guests.

People came to Wang Ruofu's family's house and the main house of the Sheng family.

There are also some colleagues of Sheng Hong who were officials in the court.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Among them, Wang Ruofu's sister, Kang Wang, who married into the Kang family, also came.

Hualan, Minglan and others should call her "Aunt Kang".

He is a very mean person and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Even Lin Sushuang is much weaker than him.

In the early years, the Kang family was considered powerful.

However, because Aunt Kang's husband was ineffective, the entire Kang family gradually declined.

In the past, the family's wealth was now stretched thin, and the decline was not unpleasant.

The most terrible thing is that the Kang family used to have a place in the capital, but now the Kang family doesn't even have a third-grade official.

He has been regarded as "unworthy" by many distinguished nobles.

now.

Aunt Kang was chatting with Wang Ruofu and others in the backyard of the Sheng family.

Wei Shuyi and his mother-in-law are also there.

Lin Sushuang didn't have a legal status, and her butt was injured, so she couldn't come here.

Wei Shu allowed his wife to sit in a relatively quiet corner and drink tea.

Many female relatives of famous families who came here, after briefly greeting Wang Ruofu, went to Wei Shuyi's place to warm up.

When Aunt Kang saw it, her face was gloomy and she said:

"Today is a happy day for the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family to go out."

"It's true that anyone can show off."

"Even if you have an official status, it's just a concubine."

"My dear sister, how could you be compared to someone like this?"

"You are the eldest lady of the Sheng family, good sister, I really feel sorry for you!"
