No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 509 Two Kings Unite
Luoyang, western suburbs.

Shangyang Palace, outside the Ganlu Palace in the northwest corner.

A female officer in Caishang with a mole at the corner of her mouth and four female officers of music and music were leading a group of musicians into the majestic gate of Ganlu Hall.

The footsteps were particularly neat in the straight and silent corridor of the palace.

Wei Wangwei's heir looked away from the group of young musicians who bowed their heads docilely.

Turning around, I looked back at the autumn forest scenery of Beiqi Mountain in the distance.

Wearing a purple python suit, he was standing on a high platform not far from the Ganlu Palace, where he could rest and watch the scenery. He gently tapped the white stone lion railing in front of him with his palms.

In the Manna Hall behind him, there was a lot of melodious piano music faintly heard.

Wei Jisi turned his head from time to time and glanced at a hundred-foot golden Buddha not far from the Ganlu Hall. From his perspective, half of the autumn sun was blocked by the Buddha's kind-faced head.

This golden Buddha is almost as old as the Zhou Dynasty. It was jointly proposed and built by the current emperor and his brother Wei Sixing in the year when the current emperor changed the name of the country and ascended the throne. It was also supervised by them personally.

At this moment, another figure in a purple-red python suit appeared not far away. He seemed to have seen the figure of Wei Jisi waiting on the observation platform, so he walked slowly towards this side.

Wei Jisi nodded and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so interested in listening to the music?"

The female official in colorful clothes, adorned with plum blossom makeup that was popular in the palace, lowered her eyes and explained softly:
"The sage has always liked the harp music here in Yang Palace. When he had a headache in the past, he would come and listen to the harp music, and the headache would be relieved.

"I also have a group of musicians in my palace. I will send someone to bring them in this afternoon. Lingzhen Nvshi will also take a look at them to see if there is any music that His Majesty likes."

The Caishang female officer turned around, walked onto the high platform, and saluted slightly:

"It is obligatory."

"His Royal Highness, King Wei, has worked hard."

The female official named Ling Zhen Nu Shi said with a straight face.

Wei Jisi waved his hand:
"You and I share our worries for Your Majesty. His Majesty, Rong Zhennv Shi, who can best listen to your words, is not here. Lingzhen Nvshi should take good care of Your Majesty and don't let Your Majesty get exhausted from state affairs."

After a while, the female officer Caishang with a mole on the corner of her mouth, who had just escorted a group of musicians into the Manna Hall, exited the Manna Hall.

Wei Sixing raised his hand and said hello.

"Your Majesty, it's not yet time for the imperial meeting. You're early. The other princes and husband haven't arrived yet."

Wei Jisi had an expressionless face and glanced at Brother Wang, who was always smiling. He said directly without saying anything:

Wei Jisi turned around and looked at the royal brother.

When passing by the viewing platform, Wei Jisi came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at her.

"The past few days have been full of things, and I haven't been here to listen for a while. Recently, the saint started to read again. However, the old musician whom the saint liked the most in the past has retired from the palace due to old age and declining skills in the early years. The musician he originally taught A group of disciples are also sick, have retired, or have not learned the basic skills and are not good at it... I ordered the female officials of Sile to recruit a new group and select those with superb skills for the imperial examination..."

The female historian Lingzhen on the side had disappeared at some point, and she was sensible enough not to hinder the conversation between the two Wei princes.

Wei Sixing nodded with a smile.

"Brother Wang, are you here so early?"

Wei Jisi nodded when he heard this:

"Does Brother Wang know about what happened in Jiangzhou? There is also Shaoqi's letter. Brother Wang has also read it, right?"

Wei Jisi had a cold face, turned his head and said:

"Shaoqi likes me and speaks very harshly. It is really inappropriate. There are some things that a junior like him can't question. Is it possible that Brother Wang can think more than him? He's just trying to do what he wants. If you give him a little sunshine, he will shine. I won’t send him out next time... How about I call him back, hang him up, and let Brother Wang whip him to teach him a lesson."

Wei Sixing saw that Brother Wang was tilting his head to observe the scenery in the distance the whole time he was speaking, without looking at him.

He couldn't help but laugh, waved his hands and said:

"It's not that serious. It's my own family. I like Shaoqi's nephew's temperament. I heard from people below that he takes good care of An Hui and protects his shortcomings. I have no dissatisfaction. What's more, As a child, it’s good to have the energy of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.”

Wei Jisi's expression softened a little. He looked at Feng Qingyun's smiling brother and said for no reason:
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and you can enjoy the music at leisure."

Wei Sixing glanced at the Ganlu Hall not far away, where the faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music could be heard, and said calmly:
"Is it because of the Jiangzhou memorial that was rushed to the palace last night? It was submitted by Si Tianjian Xia Guan Lingtai Lang Lincheng?"

Wei Jisi nodded imperceptibly and said in a cold voice:

"In the upcoming imperial meeting... His Majesty will ask for your opinion. Brother Wang, please think about how to answer it first. Well, it's best to tell Brother in advance. Brother, I will listen to you."

Wei Sixing's expression changed slightly and he immediately shook his head: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? It's only me who should follow Brother Wang. Brother Wang, don't try to hurt me."

Wei Jisi was noncommittal and snorted softly:

"Oh? Really, but now many people below are spreading some rumors, and I think it is not unreasonable."

"What rumors?" Wei Sixing answered.

"Some people who are fond of spreading rumors and causing trouble said that Prince Liang's palace, my brother's, has some different opinions on the route of Prince Wei's palace. Now the people below who are dependent on our Wei family are tied up, and they are looking forward and backward in dealing with the Liqian clan everywhere. It seems that I'm afraid that I might misunderstand what we brothers mean..."

Wei Sixing stared at his brother's expression for a while and sighed:
"Brother Wang, I have also read Shaoqi's nephew's letter, and I understand Shaoqi's resentment very well.

"But... we must consider some things in advance. We cannot just advance and not retreat. Brother, sometimes I look back and look at the huge business that our Wei family has accumulated over the years, and I always feel like walking on thin ice with trepidation. No better than those old ministers of Liqian who complained miserably. Such a big ship needs to be steered well. After all, the ship will turn around in disaster...

"Brother Wang, we must properly learn from those Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Although they are not as powerful and noble as our Wei family, these families that can last for hundreds of years naturally have their own reasons for survival and are on the verge of extinction. The painful lessons of losing a clan and surname, such as the fruit of a tree, cannot fill a basket... We must learn from it with humility. "

Having said this, Wei Sixing paused, then lowered his voice and said:

"The situation in Jiangzhou is very delicate and complicated. King Xunyang Lixian's family was brought back from Longcheng by His Majesty. This is an obvious signal. This is not only a warning to our family, but also a warning to the Prime Minister. "Not long ago, His Majesty also appointed King Xunyang as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and tacitly acknowledged that Ouyang Lianghan, the governor of Xinjiang, had full authority to preside over the construction of the Donglin Buddha. This meaning was already obvious. Ouyang Lianghan was promoted to the youngest governor of the Zhou Dynasty from the fifth rank. , it can’t be explained only by the holy favor of the ‘Southeast Pearl’. His Majesty uses this son as a protective lock for the Xunyang Palace. As for why he protects..."

"Don't go all-in, don't be single-minded... I understand this truth, but my brother has retreated too much. The past was the past, and the present is now. The situation is not static. Now there is a rebellion in the southwest, and the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou is at the forefront. It has yet to be completed. These are great situations for us and we can make a difference.”

Wei Jisi's tone was serious and he said seriously:

"Now regarding the relocation of the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou, it is between Lin Cheng and Prince Xunyang's Palace. Who should I choose? Brother Wang, please don't forget that Lin Cheng is your future son-in-law."

Wei Sixing was also very emotional:
"How could I have imagined that Lin Cheng was so unexpected and could create such a situation? I still underestimated him."

Wei Jisi's serious face revealed a smile:
"Everyone has the ambition to climb up. What's rare is that he can understand the Holy Heart and not worry about the people and the country with some bullshit and hypocrisy. He can share the worries of His Majesty. Your Majesty is the country. This son has done a good job and has a bright future.

"I used to look down upon him, thinking that marrying a daughter of the Wei family would be an advantage for him, but now I feel that it is not a loss at all. This son is as good as Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan. With this big betrothal gift, our Wei family Got it.

"Well, if Brother Wang is dissatisfied with him, just give it to me. I, Prince Wei, also have a daughter who has not left the palace."

Wei Sixing wanted to speak.

Wei Jisi suddenly said again:
"Shaoqi said in the letter that Prince Xunyang's palace had secretly contacted the Qin family, and was preparing to arrange a marriage between Li Fusu and the daughter of the Qin family before Shaoqi went there. Brother Wang should know about this, hehe, this Xunyang family The palace is not as honest, easy to deal with, and ambitious as the younger brother Wang expected. Ouyang Lianghan wants to be a second wife even if he wants to.

"Furthermore, Ouyang Lianghan is a disciple of Xie Xun, and Xie Xun is close to Concubine Di. They are all the same old-fashioned stuff that restored Li Qian's unification. I heard that the Li Xian family trusts Ouyang Lianghan. It is inevitable that this son will not be there." The wind of returning to the Qian tradition was blowing in Li Xian's ears.

"Brother Wang, our Wei family is a clan of Dazhou, not Daqian. You have to figure out who is close and who is far away."

Wei Sixing became silent after hearing the words.

Wei Jisi glanced at his thoughtful face and said calmly:

"Shaoqi's tone was very aggressive this time, and it's also because Li Fusu dared to get involved with the daughter of the Qin family. So, what does Wang brother say about this matter? Do you want me to let Shaoqi give way? Just bear with it?"

Wei Sixing immediately said: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? The son of my Wei family is naturally better than the son of the Li family."

After speaking, he pondered again:

"How's the reversal of the verdict going in Jiangzhou?"

Seeing that Brother Wang's attitude was wavering, Wei Jisi immediately said: "Everything goes well. With Lin Cheng here this time, I have more confidence."

Wei Sixing was quiet for a long time.

Then he sighed and nodded:
"It all depends on Brother Wang's arrangements. I have no objections."

Wei Jisi suddenly smiled brightly and patted his younger brother's shoulder, who had regained their composure. He took a deep breath of the cool autumn wind on the high platform and pointed to the golden Buddha not far away:
"Si Xing, let's play the game again to scare these little guys.

"I still remember that when the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, after the fall of this golden Buddha that cost us countless manpower and material resources, there was no power or noise inside or outside the palace that could seriously threaten His Majesty and our Wei family!

"Just wait, wait until the case of Zhu Lingxu and his son is overturned, the Songde Tianshu and the Sifang Buddha are all built, first kill the remaining clowns of Li Zhengyan in the southwest, and Tianshu and the Buddha will be in charge. From then on, no one in the world will dare to talk about Wei His voice will make them dare not speak out! Let the Great Zhou Dynasty nail the coffin boards of these remnants! "

Turning his head and taking a serious look at his brother's proud expression, Wei Sixing nodded slowly.

"Okay. Brother Wang's determination to win, Cai!"

He suddenly suggested:

"But this time, we in the Wei family should not interfere too much in Lin Cheng's matter, at least not openly. At most, Brother Wang, as the governor-general, can recommend him, and he can also speak for him at the imperial meeting later, but we can't It is only in line with His Majesty's wishes to involve Li Wei in the fight."

Wei Jisi thought thoughtfully: "Brother Wang means..."

Wei Sixing lowered his head and patted his sleeves, speaking calmly:
“Anyway, we are dedicated to serving the public, we only mention the business of statue creation, we only think about His Majesty and the Zhou Dynasty, and we only think about building the Jiangzhou Giant Buddha as soon as possible to quell the war in the southwest. We have no selfish motives.

"So there is no need for us to speak ill of Prince Xunyang and Ouyang Lianghan, and we don't need to argue with King Xiang, Shen Xisheng and those old die-hards. We just need to mention Lin Cheng's plan. This time Xunyang City's Let Lin Cheng handle matters by himself. At present, it seems that this person is quite reliable. "

Wei Jisi's eyes lit up.

"Brother Wang is still very powerful and understands the Sacred Heart very well!"

Wei Sixing smiled faintly.

Just as the two kings of the Wei family were exchanging opinions and unifying their voices, Di Fuzi, Shen Xisheng and other political ministers appeared on the square in the distance.

Di Fuzi's face was calm, his old steps were steady and gentle, and he walked at the front of several important ministers.

Wei Jisi glanced at Shen Xisheng's serious and eager expression from afar, and smiled coldly:
"Ouyang Lianghan's side is indeed not to be outdone, as Lin Chengcheng expected, but their response is really fast."

The two kings of the Wei family looked at each other, and after a while, they stepped forward to greet him with some tacit understanding.

The two Princes of the Wei family greeted Di Fuzi with friendly faces and greeted each other. The atmosphere outside the hall was actually harmonious.

After a while, the time came, the sound of the piano disappeared in the Manna Hall, and a row of musicians retreated and left.

The princes, nobles and nobles waiting at the door entered the palace in an orderly manner and began to take the stage.

A quarter of an hour later, a regularly held imperial meeting was held in this quiet palace in the western suburbs. However, at the end of this imperial meeting and after many routine national events, a discussion about a "little Jiangzhou matter" aroused There was a heated debate between several parties...

After the imperial meeting.

A series of edicts were immediately sent from Fengge to the Ministry of Personnel, and then from the Ministry of Personnel to Jiangzhou as far away as Jiangnan Road.

In the evening, Wei Jisi returned to Prince Wei's Mansion, seemingly in a good mood. As soon as he returned to the study, he immediately waved to summon a dull-faced confidant and sneered:
"Send a message to Shaoqi and ask him to do whatever he wants on Jiangnan Road. As long as he doesn't hurt the family in Prince Xunyang's Mansion, he must cut off all the hands and feet that they shouldn't have stretched out before. In addition, again, Ask him to write an apology letter to his Uncle Wang immediately, and his attitude must be sincere. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
