Chapter 272 Introducing the Wolf
After all, she was the late emperor's concubine. Pei Ling'er, who was bestowed to death due to political chaos, finally entered the imperial mausoleum. The Pei Jiong Rebellion has since ended, but there are still quite a few forces attached to the Pei family in various places, so send the Pei Jiong brothers to After the first level, Wei Xiao moved to the Quartet and divided his troops to attack various places. It was not until October that he finally returned in triumph.

The issue of rewarding Wei Xiao, a great hero, naturally caused new disturbances in the court.The emperor sent all his strength to promote the Ye family to be crowned kings with different surnames. Naturally, they did not want Wei Xiao to disperse the military power, so they strongly advocated adding titles to the Wei family but not military power.And King Wei, worried that the Ye family's power would be too powerful to be contained, hoped to create a situation where the military and power were separated. He said that Wei Xiao had made great contributions to the suppression of the chaos, and suggested that he be named a general of the Dazhu Kingdom!

Ye Chuansu is friendly with the Wei family, and this matter involves many sensitive parties, so it is not appropriate to express a position. Therefore, on the one hand, it facilitates the appointment of Wei Xiaozi's nephew as a marquis, and on the other hand, he combines the opinions of the two parties, and proposes that the military of Shizhou and the shepherd of Yongzhou Tired Wei Xiao.

However, both parties refused to give in, so Wei Xiao's award was delayed again and again, and the whole October was spent arguing about this matter.

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things, when the courtiers are still chattering about how to reward Wei Xiao, citing scriptures, but Wei Xiao is old and frail, and his old injuries have relapsed. One morning, he fell and was bedridden!

So there was another sudden change in the court, and the emperors who originally advocated supporting the Ye family alone to suppress the King of Wei immediately changed their minds, saying that Wei Xiao should be named Taifu.Instead, it was the king of Wei. Xu Shi saw that Wei Xiao's life was dying, and supporting him not only failed to achieve the intended effect, but also offended the Ye family. He strongly agrees with Ye Chuan's suggestion, thinking that the military forces of the twelve prefectures and the shepherds of Yongzhou are sufficient.

As a result, the two factions became a see-saw situation again, but the officials of the two factions were not lacking in eloquence, and the court confronted each other in pairs, quoting and quoting endlessly, insisting that the best reward for Wei Xiao was in the best interests of the emperor. Accusing the other party of being a traitor and traitor, harboring evil intentions.

Ye Chuan also watched these fights all day, but he smiled wryly in his heart.

Although he was worried that Wei Xiao would become an enemy in a blink of an eye, his old friend Wangnian was critically ill, but he didn't care about the calculation of so many benefits, so he prepared a generous gift and went to Wei's house with his wife to visit the sick.

……

……

Since the suppression of the Pei Jiong Rebellion, the Wei family has become very popular, and it can be said that there is a lot of traffic.However Wei Xiao didn't wait for the reward to be confirmed, he became ill and died at the end of the day, but it also made those people who are stalking people retreat, they are all very snobbish, how can they waste time on a dying person!
So Ye Chuan and his wife went to Wei Mansion with generous gifts, but they didn't meet a colleague along the way.When they arrived at Wei's house, they were also directly invited into the main hall.

It was already November, and it was freezing cold. Although he was wrapped in high-quality fur, the wind was still blowing, so the servants lifted the thick silk curtains, and Li Ci couldn't help smiling because of the heat blowing towards his face. .

Entering the room, just about to take off his fur coat, he saw the old general, who was sick and boned, forced himself up, dressed in a black ceremonial robe, dignified and solemn, and with the support of his eldest son and wife, he stood beside the screen to greet him personally. .

Seeing this, Ye Chuan and his wife hurriedly tossed down the fur, before they could take off their brocade shoes, they stepped forward quickly, and stopped the old general before he bent down to salute, saying in their mouths: "The old general is pissing me off!"

While talking, the husband and wife joined hands to help Wei Xiao back on the bed with Wei Liang. The eldest son of the Wei family, who was already in his thirties, followed politely until the old father sat down and Ye Shi After the husband and wife entered the banquet, they walked around behind the bed, and stood there with low eyebrows, being educated by the children of a family.

Wei Xiao adjusted his body, even though his body was in unbearable pain, he was still able to hear and see clearly, and the turmoil in the court these days did not fall behind.The sad thing is that the officials of the Emperor's Faction and the Wei Wang Faction were arguing over the matter of the Wei family's reward, but none of them could spare even a moment of time to take a look at this old man.

Only Ye Chuan, this year-end friend who might be forced to stand against him at any time, brought his wife along.

"Brother Ye... It's snowing today, but you're here, so fluffy and radiant!"

The old man cautiously probed, he believed in the sincerity of Ye Chuan and his wife for this trip, but above the court, who can guarantee that they will not change their minds?
Hearing this, Ye Chuan quickly got up and replied: "The old general is serious. The old general is seriously ill. My husband and I should have come to visit earlier, but the abbot of the Guanyin Temple sent the Buddha statue that my husband and wife made offering to me yesterday. This Buddha statue was All eminent monks give blessings, I believe it can bless the old general in good health and live a long life."

After finishing speaking, Li Ci also got up, took the white jade Buddha statue from the mother's hand, and offered it with both hands: "May the Buddha's light bless the old general's health as soon as possible."

The Buddha statue is more than two feet high, and it is carved from a whole block of white jade. It is crystal clear, fine and delicate, and has a faint fragrance. Wei Liang's heart was already moved when he saw it, but it was not until Wei Xiao nodded that Wei Liang stepped forward to accept it. However, he said in his mouth, "Ma'am, I'm sorry."

"The old general has worked hard for the country and devoted himself to everything. I am waiting for this kind of heart, but I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. If the old general really lives a long life because of this, it will be a blessing for the common people."

Ye Chuan spoke half sincerely and half tentatively. He was convinced that Wei Xiao's character was impeccable, so he was even more worried that Wei Xiao would go against him.

Fortunately, the old general was indeed dying.

Wei Xiao was ignorant of Ye Chuan's thoughts. He took the white jade Buddha statue in his wife's hand and sighed, "It's really a flawless white jade, what a pity!"

Li Ci didn't understand, and asked, "Why does the old general regret it?"

Wei Xiao said solemnly: "The white jade is flawless, the Buddha statue is dignified and exquisite, but my life will not be long. After my death, the Wei family may be in depression, and then fall. Isn't it a pity that the white jade Guanyin will be handed over to live up to its purity?"

Is this a temptation, or is it hinting at something?
Li Ci secretly clenched the hand hidden in his sleeve.

Wei Xiao is an old minister, even if Li Ci adds up his two lifetimes, he still doesn't live much longer than his current life.His experience is deeper and farther than his own, and his vision is more vicious than his own!
When talking to him, one must be cautious. If one accidentally exposed one's ambition, it would be a serious crime.

Sui said: "Rise and fall are fate, why should the old general be sobbing. Only descendants are blessed by descendants, and the talents of the Wei family will surely break the cycle of prosperity and decline."

Wei Xiao was silent for another moment, and sighed: "Ma'am is still thinking too naively. Is there any family in the world that has truly produced generations of talents? Even the Kong Sheng family has had incompetent descendants. The gods are fair, It's not always going to be one family that takes all of—"

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looked around, waved his hands, and signaled Wei Liang, his son, and the servants in the hall to step back for the time being.

Seeing this, Li Ci knew that Wei Xiao had an important state matter to discuss with Ye Chuan, so he hurriedly got up and wanted to go with him, but Wei Xiao said, "Madam wait a minute, I will not avoid Madam when I say these things next."

"Yes."

Fu Lici stayed behind as promised, and together with Ye Chuan, walked up to Wei Xiao, half kneeling, holding his wrinkled hands from left to right.

Looking at their young faces, Wei Xiao sighed.

"The queen mother and the Pei family are over, but the turmoil has just begun. In the next 15 years, the imperial faction will fight for power with the regent, and there will inevitably be countless unjust cases and rivers of blood; 15 years later, the young emperor will become an adult and begin to take power. The winner of a battle claims the imperial power, and will reverse the case for the Pei family for the honor of his mother, so he does not know how many heads will fall... For at least 20 years, the land of Shenzhou will be shrouded in endless blood, and I, Wei family, even if the sons and grandsons have both ability and political integrity, they still cannot escape bad luck.”

"...old brother..."

Wei Xiao took out the left hand that was held by Fu Lici, patted the back of Ye Chuan's tightly clenched right hand, and said, "Brother Ye, when the old Duke was galloping on the battlefield with three thousand white robes, I was still a young man in high spirits In the blink of an eye, it turned out that...the former pawn of the past has also become the general who commands the army..."

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "If Emperor Xuan could have kept the Duke under the coercion of the powerful and powerful nobles, perhaps he would have launched a long-term plan to control Yu Nei, but the Turks were seven hundred miles to the north. It would not be possible for Emperor Wu to attack Turkic, regret Wangcheng in the end."

"Old General Wei, what's the point of saying this now? Emperor Xuan had the difficulties of Emperor Xuan. His situation at that time was far more difficult than the records of the historian. Otherwise, Emperor Xuan would not have violated the oath of never giving up and let Grandpa End with regret!"

Because he didn't know Wei Xiao's reason for bringing up the past incident suddenly, Ye Chuan answered cautiously.

Knowing that he was worried, Wei Xiao pulled out his hand and said, "Half of my body is buried in the ground, and what I think and think is nothing but descendants, endless. Today's imperial court seems to be splendid and splendid, but in fact, there are constant party disputes and government affairs are chaotic! It wasn't for the late emperor's foresight, but the Turks were eight hundred miles to the north, and the barbarian dared not go south to herd horses, for fear that the wall would be destroyed and China would be ruined!"

"Old General..."

"Pei Jiong's chaos is just the beginning of the chaos. In the days to come, there will be clowns from all walks of life who will turn black and white and confuse right and wrong for their own selfishness. In the long run, the Central Plains will weaken and the Turks will prosper... But it is absolutely impossible for us generals See the day when our blood will be shed in a civil war meaningless... meaningless..."

Speaking of this, Wei Xiao's face was morbidly excited.

"...I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! The mountains and rivers won by three thousand white robes with their lives and blood should not fall into the hands of these clowns! For the sake of the world's long-term peace and stability, we sacrificed our lives and suffered from illnesses. As a result... we Our blood is just a bargaining chip for them... My heart is so cold! Cough, cough, cough!"

There was a violent cough, as if to spit out the heart and lungs.Ye Chuan and Fu Lici hurriedly patted his back from left to right, and comforted him at the same time: "Old general, take care of yourself!"

"Take care of your health and live a long life, and then watch these jumping clowns ruin my country? How can I, I might as well just...cough cough!"

The old man's cheeks were flushed, he held Ye Chuan's hand tightly, and said earnestly: "After I die, this country will be entrusted to you. If the young emperor has the style of the former emperor, we will be lucky. If the young emperor succeeds the Queen Mother Pei You are narrow-minded...but you have suffered...the heaven really has no eyes, it is so cruel to your Ye family..."

"Old brother..."

Seeing how ardent his life was and still not forgetting state affairs, Ye Chuan suddenly felt that he was so disgraceful.

But it was only a momentary remorse, and soon, he consolidated his confidence.

Once Wei Xiao dies, he alone controls the military power, no one can suppress him, even the King of Wei must be coerced by him!

For the sake of the Ye family, for the Wei family, to keep all those who cherish and care about him, and for the last wish of the three thousand white robes left by Grandpa, he can't back down either!

So he took the old man's hand and promised: "I swear, one day, I will teach the Wei family to be safe!"

"Thank you!"

……

On the 72th, Wei Xiao died of illness at the age of [-]. He was posthumously presented to the Taifu, the military forces of the twelve states, and the shepherd of Yongzhou. His posthumous title was Xiang.
