After a while, Wei Zheng pondered and said uncertainly: "By attacking Wei Yuanzhao, are you paving the way for Wei Siqi?"
Everyone is an old man in the Shence Mansion. Wei Siqi's intelligence may not be the best choice among them, but he is very lucky. He followed the King of Chu earlier, and the concubine of the King of Chu was born in the Wei family, which gave him unique conditions.
.
Although everyone knew that Lady Gui had been married once, was a rebel, and even had a daughter. But the problem was that the King of Chu loved Concubine Wei very much. Not only did he have a son with her, but he also lived in the palace
She also assisted Princess Zuo Chu in taking care of everything.
Once the King of Chu ascends the throne in the future, the concubine Wei will be one of the four concubines at least. Now that the prince and the King of Qi have been eliminated, the Shence Mansion will reward people for their civil and military merits. If the King of Chu supports Wei Siqi to succeed the Duke of Xun Guo due to public or private reasons,
It is not impossible to become a prince.
Du Ruhui walked into the hall and looked up at the stern main hall of Dali Temple.
"Xuancheng, do you dare to guess what His Highness is thinking?"
This is a question that is not clearly stated, but carries multiple tones, including questioning and self-questioning.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Don't forget the story His Highness told you. Sometimes, His Highness can get lost, but we must not get lost. If His Highness makes a mistake, how can we, as ministers, stand by and watch.
"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "You are right, then do you think there is a problem with His Highness doing this?"
"Looking at it now, it seems that there is no problem, but judging from Wei Siqi's position within Webster, I'm afraid that the other brothers of Webster would not agree to let him inherit the title of Duke of the Grand Duke."
"You have reached the point." Du Ruhui said meaningfully.
"What?"
Wei Zheng was startled at first, then seemed to understand something, and did not speak for a long time.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back and say goodbye."
Du Ruhui bowed his hands and left quietly.
Wei Zheng was left sitting there for a long time, and then a solemn look appeared on his face.
A Dali Temple official came in and handed over the documents. Seeing Wei Zheng sitting upright, he couldn't help but feel slightly strange.
There's no one else here, so do you need to be so serious?
Or, what happened?
Wei Zheng glanced at the small official and said: "It is your duty to deliver documents, it is not your duty to observe me, so don't be meddlesome."
"I know my mistake."
"Remember, you have to position yourself right."
"yes."
After Han Zhongliang returned home, he was in a tangle. He felt that he was in a dilemma now.
It was not a secret that the King of Chu was vigorously purging the old ministers of the East Palace in his court. He himself knew it very well. Many people in Dali Temple were demoted or imprisoned for various reasons.
And he himself was actually in dire straits during these days. Fortunately, the Dali Temple minister who inspected the school was not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, Wei Zheng was very disciplined. Because of this, Han Zhongliang was not immediately arrested.
Clean it out.
But now, Wei Zheng asked him to investigate Wei Yuanzhao, which made him feel that Wei Zheng seemed to be doing something to him.
Wei Yuanzhao is the head of the Wei family, a duke conferred by the saint. If he is found to have problems, how will he deal with himself?
Weishi, Guanlong family, his weight as a young minister of Dali Temple is simply not enough to compete with these people.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Wei Zheng was taking the opportunity to eliminate him.
In fact, he felt that he was wronged. Although he had some marks of being a courtier of the Eastern Palace, he never opposed the King of Chu, nor did he bend the law for personal gain. He always worked conscientiously during the days when he was an official in Dali Temple.
Why did this kind of thing happen to him?
"Alas." Han Zhongliang sighed, feeling very depressed.
At this time, his son Han Yuan came over.
"Why do you sigh, my lord?"
Looking up at his seventeen-year-old son, Han Zhongliang said: "As a father, I am thinking whether I should resign and take you back to my hometown."
Han Yuan was puzzled, "Why do you say this, sir? Is there something wrong with the imperial court?"
Han Zhongliang hesitated slightly and immediately informed his son about the matter.
Although Han Yuan was young, he was always talented. Han Zhongliang hoped that his son could give him some advice.
After listening to his father's story, Han Yuan pondered for a moment and analyzed: "My child feels that this is King Chu's test of adults."
"Testing?" Han Zhongliang guessed: "You mean, the King of Chu is using this matter to force his father to stand?"
Han Yuan nodded and said: "Although King Chu has not been granted the title of crown prince, there is currently only one adult prince left in Chang'an City, King Chu, and King Chu has made indelible contributions in the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The saint's body is in decline, and the king of Chu oversees the country. It is clear at a glance who will be the new king in the future.
On this occasion, the King of Chu eliminated all dissidents, and all the core members of the East Palace were exiled. The King of Chu also began to clean up the remaining ministers.
These days, you must have seen many of your former colleagues leaving the court. Now, the King of Chu has noticed you.
In the child's view, the King of Chu did not actually have the determination to get rid of the adults, because after investigating Wei Yuanzhao, the King of Chu asked Dugu Huaien to assist the adults. The adults know best who Dugu Huaien is. Therefore, in the child's view,
Come on, King Chu is giving you a chance.
If you can't handle the errand well, we may really have to go back to our hometown. If you can handle the errand well, we will be fine from now on."
Han Zhongliang thought carefully about his son's words, and felt that the clouds had been cleared away.
"Perhaps, what you said is right. With Dugu Huai'en here, it is not difficult to investigate Wei Yuanzhao."
After saying that, he looked at Han Yuan and said with a smile: "My son is talented."
Han Yuan smiled, looking gentle and elegant.
"Then what is your decision, sir?"
Hearing this, Han Zhongliang smiled bitterly and said: "We never had any choice. In the past, when the deposed prince was in power, my father was cautious under Zheng Shanguo. Now that the King of Chu is in power, the same is true."
It's a sad story to tell, but it's not a story, it's reality.
If an official reaches his level, he will either advance further or be demoted to the rank of governor of a state. Those who are unlucky may pack up and go home.
However, if you are a scholar, farmer, industrialist, or merchant, if you are not a scholar, do you have to work in agriculture?
it's out of the question!
"My child, I wish you success."
Han Zhongliang nodded and immediately said: "If this calamity can be passed safely, my father will visit Duke Changsun to discuss your marriage. You are now old, so it is time to help my father share his worries."
Han Yuan paused and said softly: "I am willing to let you make the decision."
Soon after, Duke Wei Yuanzhao was captured by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and imprisoned for interrogation.
This news is neither big nor small. After all, Wei Yuanzhao's identity is there, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention there are members of the Wei clan in Shence Mansion, and the concubine of the King of Chu is still the daughter of the Wei clan.
Such behavior is naturally eye-catching.
Does the King of Chu not even spare his own people?
It’s no wonder that everyone is surprised. At present, Wei Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple, is the king of Chu. Without his instructions, how could Han Zhongliang, a young minister of Dali Temple, have the courage to find out whether a prince of the country is the head of Jingzhao Wei family?
But it is precisely because of this that everyone is surprised.
Didn’t Jingzhao Weishi support the King of Chu?
No matter what the outside world thought, Han Zhongliang turned a deaf ear and focused on investigating Wei Yuanzhao's land enclosure.
Initially, everyone was wondering why the ministers of the Guanlong clan did not help. It was not until Dugu Huaien, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, led people to arrest the person that everyone suddenly realized.
