Chapter 819 Wei Banchao

Tao Ling turned the carriage and headed for Tao's house.

Tao Zhen watched the carriage go away and looked away.

Tao Zhen asked Pei Zhan: "Do you think the Tao family will help?"

Pei Zhan said: "Tao Qian is very face-conscious. His daughter being humiliated is humiliating him. He can't swallow it."

Tao Zhen nodded in agreement, but was still a little unsure: "Tao Qian loves face, but he is willing to meet Gao Guifei Wei's family for Tao Ling?"

Pei Zhan was confident: "The Tao family and Yan Baiqi are tied together. Tao Qian originally wanted more, but now that the Wei family has stepped in and taken away what he wanted, he will not sit idly by."

Tao Zhen said: "You know him very well!"

Pei Zhan didn't understand it at first, but after returning to the capital, he investigated the Tao family thoroughly. In the dead of night, Pei Zhan was analyzing the Tao family and Tao Qian.

Tao Qian is ambitious and scheming. For his ambition, he did not hesitate to join forces with Qin Jiayan and Bai Qi to harm the Pei family. This shows that he is a vicious person.

But after that incident, Qin Zhong died, the Qin family declined, and now Yan Baiqi wanted to marry the Wei family. Tao Qian's efforts did not get the rewards he deserved, and he must have been dissatisfied for a long time.

Pei Zhan watched them happily.

...

Tao Ling didn't dare to go to Tao Qian directly. Unlike Tao Zhen, she was a little afraid of her father.

She went to find Mrs. Tao, who was very angry after hearing this. Her daughter, whom she loved like a treasure, turned out to be living like this.

She comforted her: "You stay in the mansion, and I will seek justice for you. Even if King Qin wants to marry a real wife, he can't ruin you like this."

Mrs. Tao was so angry that she directly told Tao Qian about the matter.

Tao Qian didn't care much about his daughter, but it was just as Pei Zhan thought.

The imperial concubine and Yan Baiqi were slapping him in the face by doing this, thinking that his down-and-out residence was not as good as the Wei family.

The facts really can’t compare.

Mrs. Tao said: "Master, you have to make the decision for our Ling'er. The concubine's mothers can beat her, and the Wei family daughter herself fell into the water and framed her. She simply doesn't take our Tao family seriously. Moreover, this At the second palace banquet, all the respectable ladies went, and Concubine Gao didn’t invite us either..."

Mrs. Tao was a bit smart and knew that it was useless to say that Tao Ling was wronged or that father and daughter had deep love. Tao Qian loved face, and only by saying this could Tao Qian take him seriously.

Tao Qian's face darkened after hearing this, and he said after a while: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a sense of discretion."

Of course Tao Qian would not reason with Gao Guifei Yan Baiqi, nor would he go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for an explanation. In a head-to-head confrontation, the enemy is strong and I am weak, which will not do him any good. If not, he will get angry and make everyone look bad. .

He has other options.

Since Tao Ling returned to the Tao family, Tao Zhen also paid close attention to the affairs of the Tao family, but Tao Qian was too quiet and seemed not to care about the matter at all. Just when Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan thought that they had made a mistake At that time, something happened to the Wei family.

Someone has read a copy of the Wei family. Of course, this person is not Tao Qian, and he has nothing to do with Tao Qian on the surface.

Some people say that Prime Minister Wei allowed his relatives to seize people's land and bully men and women in his hometown. Not only that, he also wanted to enclose land. The people even called the Wei family's house Wei Palace, saying that the Wei family's house was even more luxurious than the imperial palace.

Such things actually happen in these big families, but everyone keeps it under wraps and they are never found out like the Wei family.

The reason why the Wei family was uncovered was because a nephew of Prime Minister Wei robbed a family's land. Not only that, he also beat to death two old people in the family. When he failed to seize the family's daughter, he strangled the girl to death.

I originally thought it was an ordinary farmer's family, but I didn't expect that this family had some background. The old man who died was the uncle of Han Ce, the new top scorer who passed the exam last year. Han Ce had been cared for by his uncle since he was a child. All the money he spent to go to Beijing to take the exam was My uncle gave it to me.Now that his uncle died tragically, Han Ce was young and bloody, so he sued the emperor. "Your Majesty, there is a rumor in Jinzhou that the Wei family is the local emperor of Jinzhou. The merchants passing by and the merchants in the city must pay taxes to the Wei family. If they do not pay, they will suffer revenge from the Wei family, which can range from being dispersed. Family wealth. At worst, the family was ruined. Not only that, the Wei family also plundered people's wealth and anointed people, and colluded with the prefect of Jinzhou. Jinzhou has become the world of their Wei family, and the patriarch of the Wei family is even called the King of Jinzhou."

Han Ce was fully prepared and presented evidence piece by piece. Wei Cheng's expression immediately changed. However, he did not need to speak. Someone naturally jumped out. One by one, ministers stood up and asked Han Ce whether he had bad intentions. He worked hard day and night for the court, but Han Ce actually slandered him.

The emperor looked at the officials who jumped out quietly, with an unreadable expression on his face.

Jinzhou is close to the fiefdom of King Nanming. If things are going well, just ask the prince of Nanming to the palace to find out.

but……

The emperor didn't care whether the matter was true or not. What he saw was that almost half of the officials in the court were pleading for Prime Minister Wei. They didn't even think carefully about whether the matter was true. They simply couldn't distinguish between right and wrong. situation.

Prime Minister Wei really won the hearts of the people.

Prime Minister Wei broke into a cold sweat, but it was too late to stop him, and some of the people who begged for mercy today did not have a good relationship with him.He looked at the emperor's face carefully, and couldn't see anything wrong on the emperor's face.

This made Prime Minister Wei even more frightened, but after all, he was an old minister and had the government, so he bit the bullet and didn't say anything. He just secretly winked at a confidant, and the confidant stepped forward to stop talking.

The emperor didn't say anything in the court, but when he came down from the court, his expression darkened.

"The country, the country, and the country are important, but your Majesty should relax your mind." Pei Zhan advised.

The emperor couldn't relax. He thought about the affairs in the court. So many people spoke for Prime Minister Wei. He heard that he had been very close to the King of Qin recently. The daughter of the Wei family intended to marry into the Prince of Qin's palace...

The emperor's face was gloomy, and after a while he sighed and said, "I'm getting old."

Pei Zhan said: "Your Majesty is not old at all. He just has more experience in life and has experienced many things. He is too transparent."

The emperor glanced at him, and now Pei Zhan was considered his confidant. After all, he was just an imperial doctor, and at the end of the day, he was only a fourth-rank official. He was the least threatening to him.

It wasn't a secret anyway, so the emperor told what happened in the court,

Pei Zhan frowned: "Your Majesty, I don't study much. I don't know about these things in the court. However, I heard that the Qi delegation was wandering on the street two days ago. I felt strange and asked someone to inquire about it. I found out. , the dictatorship of the King and Queen of Qi has almost eclipsed the royal family of Qi. Now everyone in the royal family is looking at the face of the queen, and it seems that the Queen of Qi is also from the Prime Minister's Palace!"

As the emperor was thinking, he glanced at Pei Zhan and said, "You have learned to speak in roundabout ways."

Pei Zhan smiled and said: "I just expressed my feelings."

The emperor knew about Tao Zhen and Yan Baiqi, and naturally he also knew that Pei Zhan would never like Yan Baiqi, so it was not surprising that he expressed his attitude like this.

"Prime Minister Wei has been in this position for too long, and many things cannot be done without him." The emperor said.

Pei Zhan said: "Xiang Wei is the pillar of the country. People outside call him the leader of the Wei Ban Dynasty."

The emperor suddenly raised his head and glanced at Pei Zhan. This look was very cold. Pei Zhan hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I am talking too much."

The emperor waved his hand to let him go down, and Pei Zhan walked out of the door. The fear and panic on his face had disappeared.

After he left, the emperor sneered: "What a Wei Banchao..."

Li Deming felt shocked.

"Come here, go and ask Han Ce and Prince Nanming to enter the palace."
