Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 569 Secret
Mr. Wei, who was supposed to be recovering from illness in the southern coal mine, would appear in Chang'an City at this time, which was naturally the result of someone's arrangement.

Watching Yang Weixian and Wei Shi who were being pushed and shoved towards the direction of the imperial city by the guards of the Forbidden Army, Mr. Wei trembled angrily: "Okay...he is a hateful Yang Yan! My Wei family did that for him!" Many, in the end, he married a common wife and implicated my sister and niece, really... really..."

"Master Wei, please keep your angry and insulting words in private!" The tall man on the side closed his clairvoyant eyes, looked at the pale and sickly Mr. Wei and said, "You can't stay in Chang'an City for a long time, sick leave is only for you. It has been approved for half a month, and we have to go back to dig coal as soon as possible.”

Grandpa Wei: "..." Looking at the serious expression on the face of the man in front of him, he was suddenly at a loss for words.

He really deserves to be the chief general of the Zhao family army with strict military discipline, the word discipline is really engraved in his bones!
Mr. Wei, who was reminded that he was going to be sent back to dig coal, had mixed feelings in his heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but really didn't know what to say.

Anyway, can he still stay in Chang'an and not go back?

In the eyes of the general of Zhao's army, who has strict military discipline, this seems to be "violating military discipline".

But of course, such things cannot be said in the Bell and Drum Tower. The place of speech was changed to the backyard of Zisu's tavern. Facing the solemn general of the Zhao family army, Mr. Wei was silent, raised his head, and looked away. Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan.

"Can I ask Shizi Ji and Lin Shaoqing to avoid it for a while?" Elder Wei said, his face full of entanglement, "What Wei wants to say must not be known to outsiders."

"They are not outsiders." The general of the Zhao family army said, "It's okay! Master Wei just said it!"

Master Wei's expression was extremely subtle: "But..."

Forget about Lin Shaoqing, but that Prince Ji... It would be fine if he was only used to dig coal, but it was more than just coal digging. I heard that when he was sent to Beijing all the way, this one is also the same as that Jiang Fourth Miss made an appointment.One must know that for Axian, they still treated Miss Jiang Si...

Seeing Mr. Wei's subtle expression, the general of the Zhao family's army felt speechless, and couldn't help but said, "Do you think Miss Jiang Si will keep that shit in mind?"

This is looking down on people!

At this time, he was still thinking about the trivial matters, and the general of the Zhao family frowned: If they were placed in the army, he would have sent such people to feed the horses. Saving people is simply ridiculous!
Mr. Wei, who was reprimanded by the general of the Zhao family army, was taken aback, so he stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly said: "I will say it!"

"You should say it!" Ji Chongyan on the side also spoke at this time, and he said, "Yang Yan's identity as an orphan of the previous dynasty can be described as a legitimate traitor. Do you think His Majesty can spare him lightly? He is far away in Gusu. You can escape temporarily, but at worst, it’s just the opposite. But Miss Yang and Mrs. Yang can’t get along, they can’t escape. Not only can’t escape, but they will become hostages used by His Majesty to threaten Yang Yan!”

"As for Yang Concubine and Yang Meiren who are also staying in Chang'an," Ji Chongyan didn't mind revealing a little bit to Master Wei, "The one who informed was Concubine Yang. Not only does the status of the unknowing victim remain unchanged, but he even gains His Majesty's trust. As for Yang Meiren..."

When Yang Xianzhi was mentioned, Ji Chongyan paused.

Master Wei continued to question subconsciously: "It's fine if Concubine Yang took the initiative to expose her meritorious deeds and not be liquidated. Could Beauty Yang have any amulets?" said Master Wei, and continued without waiting for Ji Chongyan to speak, "She It is impossible for His Majesty not to know who the biological mother is. Besides, Yang Yan's partiality and importance to this second daughter are obvious to all. Isn't it more useful to threaten her than my sister and niece?"

"What you said is not wrong." Ji Chongyan glanced at him, but shook his head, and said, "Unfortunately, she is pregnant."

His majesty's poisoning disease has no solution at this time. The two highnesses were imprisoned because they designed your majesty. The Su family was also dirty. It is impossible for your majesty not to know, but it just didn't move. That cat-like empress dowager Sun You is really weak.

At this time, Yang Xianzhi was pregnant, and the dragon heir in her stomach was more effective than ever!
Compared with Yang Yan, His Majesty himself is more worried about Yang Xianzhi's safety.No, it's not about Yang Xianzhi, but about the Dragon Heir in her belly.

Grandpa Wei also understood at this time, and his face immediately turned pale: "So, Concubine Yang and Yang Xianzhi, one who is a whistleblower and the other is pregnant with a dragon's heir, will not be used by His Majesty to threaten Yang Yan. On the contrary, my sister and niece It's fine if you don't take care of Yang Yan on weekdays, but now you have to be implicated by him?"

How can there be such a truth in this world?

"Your Majesty is a wise king. You should know that it is useless to threaten Yang Yan with my sister and niece!" But although he knew that there was no solution to this matter, Mr. Wei still had some luck in his heart, "Threatening Yang Yan with weak girls Yang Yan is not an act of a gentleman, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty is not a gentleman." Zhao Qi, the general of the Zhao family army, couldn't help interrupting him, "He is not a gentleman."

The tone of this sentence was calm, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Mr. Wei's ears.

The last fluke was completely blown up than this sentence.

"Even if you know it's useless, it's okay to try." Ji Chongyan on the side also said at this time, "So, Mr. Wei, you have thought about it carefully! Are you going to tell everything, or continue to hide it? Think about something and make your own plans."

"Not everything is like wine, the longer the better. Some things have been hidden for a long time, but they are broken, rancid, and useless." Ji Chongyan said lightly.

Master Wei's expression was extremely ugly.

After a long while of silence, finally... spoke again.

"Okay." He said, "I'll say it!"

……

"Actually, I don't know much about my father." Grandpa Wei said frankly, "He thinks I'm too mediocre."

Zhao Qi, the chief general of the Zhao family army, looked him over, nodded and said, "That's true!" After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, "Old Hero Wei really has bright eyes!"

Grandpa Wei: "..."

Although some words are true, they are somewhat hurtful!

It's just that the wounder didn't care about "hurting" him, and urged after finishing this sentence: "Keep talking, don't talk nonsense!"

Grandpa Wei: "...Okay."

"Because my father thought I was really mediocre, he always said that it is not a good thing for me to know too much about some things. Because knowing too much will always lead to death, and I don't have the ability to avoid disasters, so I simply It's best not to know." Elder Wei said, "So, I always do what my father says."

"It's his intention to let my sister marry Yang Yan, and it's also his intention to ask me not to disobey Yang Yan when it comes to important matters." Grandpa Wei said, "Just when my father was dying of poisoning for saving his family, he will I called in, and before I died, I still told me to marry my sister to Yang Yan."

Mrs. Yang's Wei family was mediocre in all aspects, and even though it was a troubled time at that time, it was not difficult for people like Yang Yan to make Wei's heart fall in love with her.What's more, Mr. Wei and Mr. Wei are in charge, so this matter will naturally come to fruition.

A few years after Wei's marriage, Yang Yan got a flat wife. He was going to seek justice for Wei, but...

"I met Yang Yan once in private. At that time, he was only a small Jiangnan Daodu government official, but he made my Wei family suffer such grievances, and even carried an unclear woman from the place of fireworks as a Wife Ping, I don't want to bear this bad breath. Therefore, I took a leave of absence and went to Gusu to meet Yang Yan."

He is a mediocre person, and he doesn't know or understand the meaning of Mr. Wei. Even if he wants to find out what Mr. Wei has done, he doesn't know how to check it. Except for corruption and bribery, the rest can be described as a mess. .

But he doesn't know, he doesn't know how to check, it doesn't mean that Yang Yan doesn't know and doesn't know how to check.

"In Gusu, I met him and asked him if he was confused by the girl from the place of fireworks. He said no. I don't understand these things, and I don't need to understand them. Elder Wei is still alive, so he certainly won't let him do these things."

At that time, Grandpa Wei heard this was a ridiculous joke, and was so angry that he wanted to teach him a lesson, but Yang Yan told him one thing at this time.

"Yang Yandao, in the eyes of outsiders, my sister marrying him is a low marriage. Ask me if I know why Mr. Wei must let me marry my sister to him." Mr. Wei said, "Of course I don't know."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi, the general of the Zhao Family Army, glanced at him and said, "Then what do you know?"

Master Wei's forehead was dripping with cold sweat: "...I didn't know anything at the time."

However, Yang Yan was willing to let him understand why Mr. Wei must marry his sister to Yang Yan.

"Back then, His Majesty was squeezed out by those Dajing veterans, and in order to win the trust of those Dajing veterans, he did something." Elder Wei said, "Unfortunately, my father knew about this matter."

As for what it is...

"Have you ever heard of the Liangzhou horse bandit case in the previous dynasty?" Master Wei said, "Before the tyrant succeeded to the throne, several small towns in Liangzhou were invaded by horse bandits. All the people died under the attack of the horse bandits, and after the horse bandits invaded, another fire burned several small towns into a mess, and almost no one survived."

Grandpa Wei said, "Later, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, and the general leading the troops at that time was His Majesty who was just emerging at that time."

Of course, these are just the court's external rhetoric, but the fact is...

"There were no horse bandits at all, and all the people in those small towns died at the hands of foreigners. His Majesty was there at that time, and led troops to stop some people who were alert and wanted to flee." Elder Wei said, holding back I couldn't help shivering, "It was His Majesty who gave a secret order to help the aliens behead their colleagues, plunder money and rice, and help cover it up."

"Why?" Zhao Qi, the general of the Zhao family army, couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, "Why did he do this?"

He knew that His Majesty was not a gentleman, and he would do anything for the throne.But what good is it to him to collude with people of different races?
"Because I followed a secret order, the order of Emperor Ren." Elder Wei said.

"The general is outside, and the emperor's orders are accepted and accepted. At that time, he was leading troops in Liangzhou. Although he was not leading the Zhao family army, he didn't even have the courage to reject such absurd secret orders!" Zhao Qi Some couldn't believe it, "What good is this for him? There is nothing but a stain!"

"Because he was not His Majesty leading Zhao's army at that time, he showed his talents at the beginning of the year, and the soldiers and horses in hand were not his own." Ji Chongyan said calmly, "He lacked a chance."

An opportunity to form one's own army in a legitimate way.

And this opportunity, he who was squeezed out by the old officials of Dajing at that time, needed Emperor Ren to give him this opportunity.The money, manpower, and material resources needed all require the support of Emperor Ren.

Of course, he could have this opportunity without doing these things, but for him, it was too slow.If he wants to take a shortcut, he must give up something.

Ji Chongyan said: "Emperor Ren is willing to give him a chance, but he is also afraid that he will have a different heart. This matter is a handle that Emperor Ren made for him, and it is also a handle that he had to hand over."

Colluding with foreigners and harming common people.This is a great stain on a Mingjun.

"My father knows about this matter, and also knows that one day His Majesty will find a way to solve this stain, so he is willing to save his own life in exchange for the lives of the Wei clan." Elder Wei said, "But even so, he is still afraid of years. Afterwards, Your Majesty will still be unfavorable to me and others, so I decided on my sister-in-law's marriage with Yang Yan, and let me let Yang Yan decide everything."

"So, you also knew Yang Yan's identity earlier?" Lin Yan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked while listening carefully.

Grandpa Wei shook his head: "I don't know his status as an orphan from the previous dynasty. Yang Yan only knew that he knew about it at the time, and that he had a way to get evidence that His Majesty did these things. That's why my father arranged this incident." The purpose of the marriage is just in case, if His Majesty wants to do something against my Wei family one day, it is better to have evidence in hand than to do nothing at all."

It can be said that this arrangement was well-intentioned.

"I thought he had something to do with those old officials of Dajing. After all, those old officials of Dajing admired him very much, so maybe they entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and handed over this matter to Yang Yan." When Master Wei said this, his face was a little bit Ugly, "I thought he was just a person who worked for the previous dynasty, but I never imagined that he himself was the orphan of the previous dynasty."

Before that, he didn't know that there was such a thing as an orphan from the previous dynasty, and he never thought about rebellion.In his opinion, Dajing was dead, and now it was Dazhou.Yang Yan, who was valued by the veteran officials of Dajing, only had more leverage and benefits than ordinary officials.

As for changing the dynasty or something, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Grandpa Wei couldn't help but sigh: Yang Yan is so courageous that he dared to rebel!

After being silent for a while, Lin Yan suddenly asked him: "Is the matter of His Majesty's collusion with foreigners just a few small towns in Liangzhou? As far as I know, there were more than one incidents of so-called horse bandit attacks back then There are quite a few more cases. Not to mention, there was also an inexplicable horse bandit attack outside Chang'an City."

Those who were attacked were several villages in the outskirts of Chang'an City with a relatively small population, and they were massacred overnight in the same way, taking away money, rice and grain, and then burning the villages down.

Of course, these villages also include Zhuangzi of rich and noble families, and none of the people in the village are spared.

"Many relatives and relatives of the people in Chang'an City at that time died in this invasion, and many close friends of my grandmother who had known each other for many years died because of this." Ji Chongyan said lightly, "This is why she always went outside the city to worship Buddha. reason."

As I get older, I feel even more lamented about the impermanence of the world.

There are not a few people like Mrs. An Guogong. Although the places where the horse bandits invade are not big, there are people who are victimized in every place. If such things are related to His Majesty, it will be really troublesome !

It would be a big deal to send troops to suppress the incident in one place in Liangzhou, but if it happened in every place, people would be panicked and turbulent.

Murdering one's brother for the sake of superiors, when the matter has nothing to do with oneself, will be regarded as a "hero" by some people, but if the matter is related to oneself, and it happens around you, under the panic of the people, the so-called "hero's method" becomes "unscrupulous". "Are.

It is difficult for an unscrupulous king not to be feared.
