Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 154 How can there be so much affection and love (please subscribe)
Wei Xingshou picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Yuan Wenshao, and said, "I would like to give you a drink to Uncle Yuan."

Yuan Wenshao was startled: "Do you know me?"

He had been here several times with Sun Hao and Liu Lei before, but Wei Xingshou was still young at that time and had not yet started receiving guests.

"During the polo match that day, the second son of Ningyuan Marquis told the Nu family about my uncle and said that you and him were friends. The Nu family was lucky enough to see my uncle's heroic appearance on the polo field." Wei Xingshou said with a smile.

Although Wei Xingshou was praising Yuan Wenshao, when she spoke, her tone was not as promiscuous and full of flattery as ordinary brothel girls.

Instead, she behaves like a lady from a wealthy family chatting with others, and behaves like a lady from a famous family.

When Miss Xiangxiang heard that Yuan Wenshao was actually an earl, she felt even more jealous.

Why does Wei Xingshou usually pick up either marquises or earls?

But she could only accompany a rough guy like Liu Lei.

Liu Lei may have lived in the northwest for too long, so his face is rough and his skin is slightly dark.

Even though I have lived in Bianjing for several years, not much has changed.

Liu Lei smiled and said: "Erlang, it's not very polite to let Wei Xingshou hold the wine all the time."

"Sorry." Yuan Wenshao took the wine and drank it.

Although Miss Xiangxiang was jealous, she did not forget who was her financial backer. She took the initiative to toast Yuan Wenshao, and then chatted with Liu Lei in whispers, letting out cute smiles from time to time.

"Gu Tingye has left Bianjing, do you know?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"I know, Erlang came to see me once before he left." Wei Xingshou said.

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

He thought that Gu Tingye even took Wei Xingshou to the polo club and came to say goodbye before leaving. Could it be that the two of them had some kind of affair?

This is not impossible. Although in the original drama, Gu Tingye never found Wei Xingshou again after getting married, this possibility cannot be denied.

He remembered that Gu Tingye quarreled with Minglan and went to talk to Wei Xingshou.

If she said that Gu Tingye only regarded her as a confidante, Yuan Wenshao would not believe it at all.

Yuan Wenshao can also understand that Gu Tingye did not redeem Wei Xingshou.

He seems to like Mannia and makes many plans to make Mannia his concubine.

But he never thought of marrying Mannia.

As the saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. In the end, when Mannia died, he was not sad at all and kept asking about his son's whereabouts.

For Minglan, he used her more than he liked her at first.

Because he knows Minglan and knows that Minglan is very smart.

And he needed a wife who could compete with Xiao Qin's family, so he finally chose Minglan.

Some people may think this is a way to blackmail Gu Tingye.

In fact, it is not true. Gu Tingye himself is an ancient person, and his views on three things are naturally different from those of later generations.

His approach does not seem to be a problem in this era.

For example, Mrs. Sheng proposed to marry Mrs. Wang for Sheng Hong. She also thought that with the help of the Wang family, Sheng Hong would have a smooth career.

Including Changbai's marriage to Miss Haijia, this was also the purpose.

Marriage in feudal society is not so sentimental and loving, it is more about benefits.

Not to mention that men take this for granted, even women don’t think it’s a problem.

"What are you thinking about?" Wei Xingshou asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing."

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and put aside these miscellaneous thoughts.

While chatting with Wei Xingshou, he was thinking about Liu Lei's purpose of coming to him.

He originally thought that Liu Lei was acting as a lobbyist for the people behind him, but Liu Lei instead called two girls to accompany him.

Now he was having a heated fight with that girl Xiangxiang, and after drinking one glass of wine, he was already showing his drunkenness.

Could it be that Liu Lei simply came to him to drink wine?

At this moment, Liu Lei's entourage came over and said, "Sir, it's getting late."

"Oh."

Liu Lei withdrew his hand from Miss Xiangxiang without leaving a trace, and said, "You two girls, we'll stop here today."

Wei Xingshou and Miss Xiangxiang stood up, bowed, and left.

"Let's go back." Yuan Wenshao stood up and said.

Although he didn't understand Liu Lei's purpose, Liu Lei didn't persuade him, so he didn't need to be embarrassed.

"Erlang, don't worry, there is someone who wants to meet you." Liu Lei said.

"Who?" Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly.

"it's me."

Just then, a young man walked in.

The man's skin was very dark, with many pockmarks on his face, and he looked very ugly.

Yuan Wenshao was a little unsure and asked: "His Royal Highness?"

"Haha, I didn't expect Uncle Zhongyong to recognize me when I'm dressed like this." Prince Yan said with a smile.

Yuan Wenshao looked at Liu Lei with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although he had suspected that the Liu family had taken sides before, he always thought that the Liu family supported King Yong.

After all, Queen Mother Yan's family is a wealthy family in the north, and the Liu family is indeed from the northwest.

Now it seems that the Liu family supports King Yan.

It would be okay if he supported King Yong. After all, King Yong was killed by King Yan before he became the crown prince.

Later, when Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne, although he would not reuse those who supported King Yong, he would not do anything to them.

However, King Yan rebelled, and even several members of the Gu family with three or four bedrooms went to Jiangnan to buy some women for King Yan and were exiled.

How could a military general like the Liu family end well?

After all, the two had known each other for many years, and Yuan Wenshao felt very uncomfortable seeing his friend go to a dead end.

Liu Lei thought Yuan Wenshao was angry because Prince Yan appeared, so he quickly explained: "Erlang, His Highness is thirsty for talents and wants to talk to you alone. He has no other intentions."

"Uncle Zhongyong, don't blame him, I asked him to do this." Prince Yan said.

Yuan Wenshao looked at Prince Yan and said calmly: "What do you want to talk to me about, Your Highness?"

No wonder you want to come to Guangyuntai. Countless people come in and out of Guangyuntai every day. With Prince Yan dressed up like this, it is really not easy for anyone to notice.

Prince Yan looked at Liu Lei. Liu Lei understood, cupped his hands and stepped back.

"I want to talk to Uncle Zhongyong about your future." Prince Yan sat down and said.Yuan Wenshao also sat down and mocked: "Don't you think it's ridiculous for Your Highness to say this?"

If Prince Yan hadn't taken him to his home, how would he have faced the current situation.

"Uncle Zhongyong is a smart man. King Yong is narrow-minded. When you refused his invitation, if he ascended the throne, you would definitely not end well. I did this just to let you see the situation clearly." Prince Yan smiled.

Yuan Wenshao said calmly: "Since the Crown Prince is talking about the situation, you should know that the official family is interested in King Yong. If you have this time, you might as well consider your own retreat."

The smile on Prince Yan's face froze and he said, "How do you know that there are no variables before the matter reaches the end?"

"I don't know if there are any variables. I am just a military commander. I don't want to participate in this. Please let me go, Prince." Yuan Wenshao said.

"I can let you go, but will King Yong let you go? Did you know that that day, Uncle Qi went to the palace to file a complaint against you? Not long after he left, King Yong went to see the officials." Prince Yan said.

Yuan Wenshao sneered in his heart, I knew the plot and I was scared.But he said: "At most, I will be ignored, but if I support King Yan, I might end up confiscating my family and annihilating my clan. If the heir is me, how should I choose?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Prince Yan's eyes, and he said, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. How does Uncle Zhongyong know that he is not going to have a successful career?"

"Haha, I don't have great ambitions and don't care about power. In fact, I have never understood it. I am just a military commander. Although I did not have the power to mobilize troops before, I was also in charge of one of the western suburbs camps. King Yan wants to win over me. I can still understand. Now that my official position is gone, why does King Yan still keep an eye on me?" Yuan Wenshao said.

This is something he has never been able to understand.

At first, when King Yan wooed him, he thought that King Yan wanted to rebel, so he asked him to persuade the commanders of the western suburbs camp to stay put.

Now that his position is gone, King Yan is still staring at him, which makes him a little strange.

Prince Yan smiled and said: "As long as Uncle Zhongyong agrees to help our father and son, he will naturally know. My father promised that as long as Uncle Zhongyong is willing to help, he will make Uncle Zhongyong a marquis, and it will be hereditary."

To be honest, Yuan Wenshao was really moved. He had been planning for so long and stayed in Bianjing. Wasn't it just to help Zhao Zongquan suppress the rebellion and gain a hereditary title for his meritorious service.

Even if he planned well, it would be great if Zhao Zongquan could make him a hereditary and irreplaceable earl.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Based on his understanding of the plot, as long as he sent people to kill Zhao Zongquan and his family early, and at the same time sealed the palace carefully so that the officials had no chance to spread the blood edict, King Yan would indeed have a great chance of success.

But this changes the plot.

This is secondly, and the most important thing is that he does not know the character of Prince Yan and his son.

In the play, King Yan does not appear much, and Prince Yan even has no chance to appear.

Judging from the fact that King Yan sent people to assassinate the clan early and almost succeeded in launching a palace coup, King Yan's ability is indeed impressive.

But ability belongs to ability, which does not mean that he will not kill heroes.

And people always change. Li Longji was so wise in the early stage, but he almost ruined the Tang Dynasty in the later stage.

It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor to him. He is not as foolish and loyal as the ancients. In his opinion, the emperor is the boss.

The future of King Bangyan is unpredictable, but Zhao Zongquan and his son treat Gu Tingye well.

It’s clear who to choose.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I would like to take my leave now." Yuan Wenshao stood up, cupped his hands, opened the door and walked out.

When Liu Lei saw Yuan Wenshao coming out alone, he knew that they had not reached an agreement and wanted to persuade him, but it was not convenient to be outside.

Yuan Wenshao nodded at him, turned around and left without saying anything more.

Everyone has a choice. Since you choose to gamble, you must be responsible for your own choice.

The Liu family had already taken sides, and it was not because of his persuasion.

Liu Lei walked into the room and saluted: "Your Highness, Erlang, did he refuse?"

"Well, this person is incompetent and there is no possibility of winning over him." Prince Yan said with an ugly expression.

"Your Highness, is it possible that you have given up like this?" Liu Lei asked.

"I used to win over him because I wanted him to help win over the generals of the Forbidden Army. Now the progress is very good, and he is not of much use anymore. The reason why I still want to win over him is because he still has some prestige among the Forbidden Army, and he will be able to do better by then. To stabilize the morale of the army, since he cannot be won over, there is no need to waste energy on him." Prince Yan said.

At first, King Yan wanted to win over Yuan Wenshao because when Yuan Wenshao was training the Forbidden Army, he had many interactions with the generals of the Forbidden Army and knew the character of those people.

If they can win over Yuan Wenshao, it will be of great help to them in winning over the generals of the Forbidden Army.

However, King Yan found it extremely easy to win over the generals of the Imperial Army.

This is not surprising, anyone with some knowledge can see that the future emperor must be one of King Yong and King Yan.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier applies equally to the maids and maids in the palace and to the generals of the imperial army.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to stabilize the court, he may not make drastic promotions of his confidants in a short period of time, but the generals of the imperial army and the palace officials and female officials will definitely be replaced by their own people.

For those generals of the Forbidden Army, once they are replaced, they will not be reused. In order to maintain their power, it is not unusual for them to take sides.

King Yong has the best chance now, so naturally he will not think of rebelling, nor will he win over the generals of the Forbidden Army.

Therefore, faced with King Yan's wooing and the temptation of gold and silver beauties, many generals have secretly defected to King Yan.

In this way, Yuan Wenshao's value will not be high.

The reason why King Yan still wanted to win over him was because Yuan Wenshao had trained the imperial army and had a certain prestige.

The soldiers knew it was a rebellion, and they must have been a little scared.

If Yuan Wenshao can stand up and speak, it can also stabilize the morale of the army.

"Your Highness is right." Liu Lei nodded.

"How are you doing with the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?" Prince Yan asked.

"I have now fully taken control of the Central City Military and Horse Division. In addition, I have won over the commander of the East City. I have also recruited a deputy commander and some other generals in the North City and West City. The Nancheng Military and Horse Division is working hard, and there are already some There is progress, and there will be good news soon." Liu Lei said.

King Yan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since Yuan Wenshao doesn't know what is good and what is good, don't have any contact with him in the future, and take control of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division as soon as possible."

"Yes." Liu Lei responded.

"Let's go. Even though there are my people watching nearby, it's not a good place to stay for a long time." Prince Yan said.

……

On August [-]th, Haijia Private School officially opened.

Yuan Wenshao found that the ancient education system seemed to be different from that of later generations, except for the content. Overall, there was not much difference.

We have the same winter and summer vacations, but they are called differently.

Early in the morning, Hua Lan checked that nothing was missing and personally sent Sister Wen to school.

Although the Haijia Private School is in the Haijia, it has a special side door for entry and exit.

The school only accepts women, and the teacher is also a woman, so it is naturally inconvenient for Yuan Wenshao to go.

There are five brothers in the Hai family. Except Hai Wenyuan, who is in the Hanlin Academy, two of the other four are doctors in the Imperial College, and two are local officials.

The five wives of the brothers are also scholars, and this school was run by the five of them.

Hai Wenyuan's wife had a royal responsibilities, and sometimes she would personally teach the girls etiquette. This is why many families in Bianjing sent girls here.

Firstly, those who can come to Haijia Private School to study have an important status and can make connections. Secondly, they have Mrs. Gaoming to teach them the rules, and they can also add some glory when they get married in the future.
