Snowy Chang'an Road

The reason why Ban Miao targeted Bo Ji was not only because she was favored by His Majesty, but also because her son Wei Xiao was very close to the King of Peking, Wei Shao.

This made her very disgusted. Even though she had defeated Deng Shou more than ten years ago and successfully ascended to the throne of queen, her disgust for Deng Shou had already penetrated deep into her bones.

This kind of disgust stems from jealousy. Her family background, appearance, and intelligence are far inferior to hers. If it weren't for the decline of the Deng family in Nanyang, His Majesty would need a strong queen family to help him achieve his great cause. No matter who the successor is. It's not her turn no matter what.

If the thirteenth son of the Nanyang Deng family were still alive in the world, she could not imagine how prosperous the Nanyang Deng family would be.

Compared with her humble appearance, Bo Ji is much calmer, because she is backed by the great scholars from the Lu State. These people were rewarded by Wei Yuan and traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to serve as officials. Their influence spread throughout the Wei Dynasty. Various places.

In addition, after the founding of the Wei Dynasty, Wei Yuan had been deliberately supporting civil servants and wanted to build a state of etiquette. As the leader of a family of great scholars, the Bo family had an unparalleled reputation.

Bo Ji is beautiful and intelligent, and is deeply loved by Wei Yuan. She looks very similar to Deng Shou. Many people say that she has the shadow of Deng Shou when he was young, but Bo Ji does not take it seriously. She is very clear that she came to Chang'an. What kind of mission she shoulders, she is very determined in her heart.

When Bo Ji heard the news that the Huns were asking for a marriage, she worried about her daughter for a moment, and then wrote many letters and sent them to various places in Chang'an, asking for help.

The former dynasty and the harem were originally one body, and both prospered and suffered losses.

After General Wei Yuan took care of himself for some time, his spirits improved a bit. He could not worry about state affairs, so he met with the ministers accompanied by the prince.

There was only one issue in the court today, and that was which princess to send for marriage.

Although no one has spoken yet, the division of power in the court is already very obvious.

The counselors headed by Ban and the civil servants headed by Bo have already formed their own teams. Their goal is to suppress each other and eliminate dissidents.

The generals led by Nanyang Deng clan all chose to remain neutral and watched the show from the other side without saying a word.

Wei Huan originally thought that he could handle this matter by himself, and he was a little dissatisfied with Wei Yuan's intervention. However, when he looked at the ministers in front of him who all insisted on their own opinions and masters, and refused to give in to each other, He suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

This was the first marriage in the Wei Dynasty, and Hunan Chanyu took it very seriously. The person he requested to marry must be a princess of the Wei Dynasty.

Wei Yuan was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to slack off. He had experienced the strength of Hu Nan Chan Yu. If this neighbor was dissatisfied, the people in the border counties would probably not have a good life either.

Wei Yuan only has two princesses waiting to be married, and the two forces behind them should not be underestimated.

If Mrs. Fu's daughter is allowed to marry, there will be no loss for Ban Miao, but it will invisibly elevate the status of civil servants, which she does not want to see. In her eyes, these civil servants are more important than those who are just civil servants. Generals who know how to wield swords and guns are much more difficult to deal with and are even more difficult to deal with.

They all rely on their words and brains to make ends meet, and their peers are enemies.

In the court, the counselors and civil servants put aside their dignity as scholars and started biting each other. It was extremely noisy for a while.

Seeing the situation gradually losing control, Wei Yuan just closed his eyes and listened quietly, but Wei Huan was a little anxious. He was afraid that the situation would lose control.

"Father."

Wei Yuan made a "shh" gesture.

After a while, Wei Yuan called Wu Xun to his side and asked, "How long have they been arguing?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, half an hour."

"Okay, retreat."

In this way, amidst the calls of the ministers, Wei Yuan left without looking back, leaving behind a confused Wei Huan and the ministers looking at each other.

In the next two days, Wei Yuan continued to listen every day without saying a word. When ministers asked him to make a decision, he did not express his attitude.

Three consecutive days of quarrels gradually paralyzed Wei Huan's nerves, and he began to lose patience.

On the other hand, Wei Yuan's complexion was getting better and better in this noisy atmosphere.

At the end of the morning court on the third day, Wei Yuan said to the ministers: "My dear friends, you have been working hard recently. You will have a day off at home tomorrow. If there is anything you need to do, we will discuss it later in the morning."

"Your Majesty, in ten days, the Huns' envoy will arrive in Chang'an. This matter should be decided early."

"Your Majesty." Wei Yuan glanced away with a sharp look, and the officials fell silent.

"King Peiping, come to my study."

"promise."

In the study, Wei Yuan sat on the couch, studying the chess game in front of him.

"The medicine Pei Ying gave me is very good. It is much better than that group of imperial doctors who are very self-sufficient, receive my salary, and can't take care of my body. I want to reward her."

"Thank you, Father, this is the pill she asked my son to bring."

Wu Xun walked up to Wei Shao and took the pills.

"You, the princess, are a hero among women. I can accompany you on the battlefield and take care of your home. I have such a daughter-in-law. You have such a wife. It is our blessing."

"Father, thank you very much. As long as your father is in good health, nothing else matters. It is us children who should be filial to you."

"You kid, you've made a lot of progress since you came back from your trip south this time, and you're even better at talking."

"It's all good teachings from my father."

Wei Yuan placed a black stone and instantly reversed the situation on the chessboard.

"What do you think about the marriage?"

Wei Shao remembered what Pei Ying said, don't express your opinion casually on things you are unsure of.

"My son is stupid and has no ideas."

"If you don't tell the truth, who taught you to answer like this, your princess?"

Wei Shao quickly denied it.

"No, I really don't know. Please forgive me, father."

"I think you don't want Xuan'er to get married. After all, she is Xiao'er's biological sister. I heard that Xiao'er has been visiting your house a lot these days. What did he say to you?"

"My father is wise, you have revealed Xiao'er's thoughts, it is exactly what my father wants."

"What about you? How did you answer him?"

"There's nothing I can do to help."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan held Bai Zi's hand and stopped it in the air.

He slowly turned his head, looked at Wei Shao and said: "I am so helpless, King of Peking. I will give you one day. You have to make your decision in the morning court the day after tomorrow. I am really curious about who you will choose." , this is the emperor’s order and cannot be violated, remember?”

"My son, I obey."

When Wei Shao walked out of the palace gate, he was surprised to find Zhong Yang and Xiao Shen waiting for him. Seeing their excited faces, Wei Shao knew what they wanted to say.

"Brother Wei, which princess does your Majesty want to marry?"

"Brother Wei, tell me quickly. Brother Zhong and I have been waiting for you since the morning court. Brother Zhong ignored eight sisters-in-law for you. Aren't you touched at all?"

"Brother Wei, don't leave. If you don't say anything, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"drive".

Wei Shao rode his horse, leaving the two of them behind to say a word.

"No comment."
