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

Chapter 83 I ask for a royal title for my sister!
The emperor entertained hundreds of officials at a banquet in Chui Gong Hall.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Zhen found an excuse to leave.

When he is here, the officials will be timid and will not have fun.

Simply, it would be better to make them happy.

Especially those meritorious officials who returned from the expedition, otherwise, there would be no need to hold this banquet.

However, what is strange is that the emperor has just left.

All civil and military officials did not propose a toast to Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Instead, they took turns toasting to Wei Yuan.

Not to mention others, even Wei Yuan himself felt a little flattered and quickly stood up to greet everyone who came to toast.

"General Wei, I heard that you killed seven generals in formation, how brave Guan Yu is!"

"You're so polite, it's just a fluke, a fluke."

"General Wei, my hometown is in Daizhou. Thank you for saving my hometown from the devastation of war!"

"Your Majesty's words are true. This is all due to my mentor's guidance."

"General Wei, you must drink this glass of wine. You resisted the enemy's wild gains and beggars outside Yanmen Pass, and you created a bad breath for the common people of our country!"

"Without the guidance of my mentor, it would be difficult for me to defeat Ye Li Yu Beg."

"."

No matter Qingliu or Wuxun, at this moment, they all came up to toast Wei Yuan.

Among them, there are many central ministers.

That's all for Wu Xun. Wei Yuan couldn't figure it out for civil servants.

In the past, we didn’t keep in touch with each other.

I can't go out of my way to 'flatter' myself just because I won a battle and I'm going to be promoted, right?

It doesn't make sense.

While drinking, Wei Yuan found it hard to think too much.

He looked at Zhang Fu with a wry smile.

The latter pretended not to see it at all and was just concentrating on communicating with Gu Yankai.
"After this banquet, all the dignitaries in the capital have become acquainted with Yuan'er."

"If it weren't for you, big brother, who worked so hard to help this guy Wei Yuan, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to do it on his own."

"Didn't you also help? You specially asked Yuan'er to keep pace with you, didn't you just want to build momentum for Yuan'er?"

"."

While talking, the two of them laughed one after another.

They are all old people who have been in the court for many years. How could they not know the thoughts of those officials toasting to Wei Yuan?
However, they did not ask about it.

In this prosperous place in the capital, Wei Yuan has to deal with some of the comings and goings and the sophistication of the world on his own.

Zhang Fu and Gu Yan separated and could help Wei Yuan for a while, but they could not help him forever.

Sheng Hong, who was sitting at the end of the hall, had been looking for an opportunity to toast Wei Yuan.

But there were too many dignitaries toasting Wei Yuan.

He was either a minister or a minister of the Privy Council. They were all stomping their feet and making the capital tremble.

As a humble official, he really didn't dare to come forward to bother him.

I do not know how long it has been.

Wei Yuan had a moment of free time and looked at Sheng Hong who was sitting on pins and needles, feeling a little funny.

And Sheng Hong was also looking at him at this time.

Wei Yuan raised his glass, Sheng Hong was flattered and quickly picked up the wine on the table.

The two drank across the air.

After the drink was in his stomach, Sheng Hong exhaled a breath of turbid air and nodded to Wei Yuan with a smile.

For him, Wei Yuan's show of kindness was a good sign.

Nowadays, Wei Yuan's rise in the court is almost certain.

Relying on Wei Shuyi, Sheng Hong felt that the spring of the Sheng family might be coming.

Of course, that's just what he thinks.

Zhao Zhen knew that a group of officials toasted Wei Yuan.

He was thinking secretly, has Wei Yuan's original intention changed since he became famous at a young age?

It is inevitable to beat and beat.
-
After the banquet was over, it was already late at night, but Zhao Zhen had not rested yet and summoned Wei Yuan alone to the Xuanzheng Hall.

The so-called feast for seven days does not mean drinking for seven consecutive days.

Rather, it means that civil and military officials, after finishing their busy day of government affairs, can continue drinking and having fun in the Chui Gong Hall.

As for the people, Zhao Zhen also issued a decree to allow the people to celebrate together for three days.

Just treat it as a holiday for the whole world.

now.

Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Zhen, with a solemn face and an unsmiling expression, looked at Wei Yuan who was kneeling in front of him, smelling of alcohol, and said in a deep voice:

"Wei Qing, do you still remember the one-year appointment with me?"

Hear the sound. Wei Yuan, who was already very drunk, clenched his teeth when he kowtowed, and pinched the other hand hard with one hand, even pinching the blood marks, in order to force himself to wake up.
"Chen, remember!"

"I accompanied the British Duke on his triumphant return, bringing with him a hundred troops from Daizhou. These hundred men were all heroes of Daizhou's battle."

"Your Majesty can observe the results of my military training at any time!"

Zhao Zhen said: "No need. When you raided the Liao Pioneer Army, you have verified the effect of your training. I am very satisfied."

boom--

Wei Yuan kowtowed again,
"It is my honor to be recognized by His Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked pleasantly:
"You killed seven generals in formation and forced the enemy back to beg for help. For such a great achievement, if you want any reward, you might as well tell me."

Zhao Zhen also had a headache about how to reward Wei Yuan.

He has just been rewarded with an earl. If he is rewarded again, it cannot be lower than the standard of an earl.

Since he had a headache how to reward him, it would be better to leave this problem to him.

If the reward he asked for was too excessive, Zhao Zhen would have to re-examine the young man in front of him.

However, before returning to the court, Zhang Fu once told Wei Yuan that sometimes, he should not be too aggressive.

Wei Yuan deeply agreed,

"Your Majesty, it is my duty to defend the country from enemies and guard the borders for Your Majesty. I dare not ask for credit."

"But since Your Majesty asked me to speak, I will speak out."

"When I was young, my family suffered great changes. My parents died young. I was raised by my two sisters before I had the opportunity to be loyal to the country."

"I am so bold that I want to seek a royal title for my two sisters!"

That's it.

Zhao Zhen seemed to be waiting for his next words.

However, it did not wait.

Is this gone?

"The British Lord said that you were the main contributor to the Daizhou War, and you only wanted to seek a life for your two sisters. Other than that, nothing else?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but wonder.

Wei Yuan did not dare to raise his head and said: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. To be able to become a loyal and brave uncle is a sign of my profound gratitude to the Emperor. I dare not ask for anything more than that!"

Hear this.

Only then did Zhao Zhen truly realize that the Wei Qing in front of him was still the same Wei Qing when he first came to Beijing.

Value love and righteousness, be loyal to the king and the country, and ask for nothing else.
Zhao Zhen was relieved.

"During the banquet, you will live in the palace. As for your reward, I will consider it at my discretion."

"Drink less, otherwise you will lose your health, and I will lose a general who can protect my family and country."

Zhao Zhen smiled and motioned for Wei Yuan to step back.

Just walked out of the palace gate.

The eunuch who was about to take Wei Yuan down to rest suddenly found that he was unable to leave, so he urged:
"Uncle Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yuan made a sound of "vomiting" and vomited outside the hall.

Afterwards, when Zhao Zhen learned about the incident, he did not blame Wei Yuan. Instead, he smiled at the queen and said:
"It is said that he speaks the truth after drinking. He does not take this opportunity to ask for credit from me, but only wants to ask for a title for his two sisters. This shows that Wei Qing is a true-hearted person."

"I have asked the Dining Bureau to prepare some sobering medicine for Wei Qing. Wei Qing is a good boy."
-
That night, the news that Wei Yuan was left in the palace by His Majesty spread throughout the noble families in the capital.

What is so deeply favored by the emperor and so simple in the emperor's heart?
This is it!

now.

Sheng family.

Sheng Hong was telling Wang Ruofu about the scene at the banquet.
"Those who toasted Wei Yuan are all ministers of the DPRK! Our Sheng family is lucky to have a relative like Wei Yuan."

Wang Ruofu sighed: "I only hope that in the future he can not only help Minglan and Mu Geer, but also a bunch of Changbai."

Sheng Hong frowned and said, "As a family, do you think we can help or not?"

family?

Wang Ruofu groaned secretly.

Sheng Hong's little thoughts can even reach the palace, and he is still a family. Is he afraid that others don't know that he wants to cling to Wei Yuan?
In Twilight Cangzhai.

Minglan was in Wei Shuyi's room, holding her chin in her hands and saying in a daze:
"Mom, when can uncle come visit me?"

Wei Shu said, "Your Majesty will have a grand banquet in the palace for seven days. No matter what, it will have to wait until seven days later."

Minglan sighed, "But my daughter misses her uncle so much."

After a pause, she remembered the scene when she first met Wei Yuan today, and couldn't help but say:

"Mom, my uncle is so powerful now that he can keep pace with Gu Tingye's father Ning Yuanhou."

"All the distinguished disciples in the entire capital are praising my uncle for his greatness."

"Do you think Brother Mu can become a great hero like uncle in the future?"

Wei Shu covered his mouth and smiled, "If your brother can grow up safely, I, the mother, will be satisfied."

"As for becoming a mother-in-law like your uncle, I can't even think about it."

After a pause, she said seriously: "You have been coming to my mother's place frequently these days. I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will stay at the old lady's place. You can come whenever mother asks you to."
