Chapter 151 Please Set up a Navy

That night.

Wei Yuan returned home and Zhang Fu came to visit.

Since the Wei family worshiped their ancestors, the master and apprentice have not had a long conversation together for a long time.

Wei Yuan knew that if Zhang Fu came in the rain, he would create a big prison.

"Since the incident with Marquis Zhongshan, many people have approached him as their teacher."

"They asked the teacher if they were among the people the officials wanted to investigate."

In the study room of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, Zhang Fu spoke bluntly.

Wei Yuan smiled bitterly, "This happened suddenly. It's understandable that they came to you, teacher."

Zhang Fu said: "Master, I am here today to tell you that no matter who is involved, you must act according to your majesty's wishes."

Wei Yuan nodded, "If possible, the student would rather not get involved in this matter."

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "This is an opportunity for you. Your Majesty is a benevolent king. There must be something wrong with setting up this prison."

"As long as our masters and disciples are here, no matter how big the storm is, it will stop."

Hearing the sound, Wei Yuan fell into silence.

This is probably one of Zhao Zhen's intentions to get himself involved.

Zhang Fu is right, as long as the two masters and disciples are here, there will be no chaos in the capital.

One is the leader of contemporary martial arts, and the other is the first among young generals.

With Wei Yuan holding the sword, no matter who is involved, even the general with military power, there is nothing he can do.

Doing so will reduce possible risks.

Wei Yuan came back to his senses and said:

"When the students ordered the Imperial City Secretary to arrest the commander of the Tianwu Army today, he said he wanted to see the students, but the students did not go to see him."

At that time, many of the Tianwu Army's top generals wanted to make the matter a big deal, and it might even lead to a mutiny.

But when they heard that Wei Yuan had sent people to fetch him, all the chiefs and generals fell silent.

He tacitly allowed the officials of the Imperial City Department to take him away.

This is the prestige of Zhang Fu's master and apprentice in the army today.

Zhang Fu said: "It's impossible for you not to accept this errand, but if you do, you will definitely offend many people."

"Your Majesty wants to imprison the two kings. This is the ultimate goal. The rest is not important."

Wei Yuan's heart moved, he cupped his hands and said, "Students are taught."

Zhang Fu asked again: "I heard that the Hai family came to look for you?"

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "They want to ask His Majesty to impose a sea ban. The students think this is feasible."

"When things happen in the capital, in the spring of next year, the students will ask for orders to lead the army to the two Zhejiang provinces."

Zhang Fu warned him a few more words, then left without saying anything more.

——

The next day.

Sheng Hong asked for sick leave and did not order anything.

The door of the Sheng family is also closed, and no visitors are welcomed.

At this time, in Mu Cangzhai.

With the help of Wei Shuyi, Minglan has mastered various matters of housekeeping.

And the arrangements for the various servants in the family have also been readjusted.

It turned out that the people arranged by Lin Sushuang and Wang Ruofu were all idle.

Nowadays, the people working at home are people whom Wei Shuyi and his wife can trust.

After Minglan sorted out all the expenses at home this month, she remembered that Sheng Hong had asked for leave today, and asked Wei Shuyi:

"Mom, I heard that my father is sick? Is it serious? Will my daughter go to see her father later?"

Hearing the sound, Wei Shu shook his head and said, "What kind of real illness is this? This is hiding from people."

Hiding from people?

Minglan asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Wei Shu said, "You have been busy sorting out the accounts at home these past two days, and you don't know what is happening outside."

"Several nobles, censors, and some generals were arrested by your uncle. I heard they were collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"Some people are also spreading rumors that His Majesty is going to open a prison in the next two days. There are countless people who want to use the Sheng family to establish a connection with your uncle."

"It rained heavily yesterday, and more than a dozen officials came to our door. Your father had no choice but to pretend to be sick and ask for leave."

Collaboration with the enemy and treason?

Want to build a big prison?

Minglan said in shock: "Will uncle be affected by this?"

Wei Shu shook his head, "I don't know, I'm afraid this matter will affect a lot of people."

"Your father is an outsider. He was so frightened that he had to pretend to be sick, but your uncle is an insider."

"Although your uncle is deeply trusted by the officials and holds a high position, this matter is not simple. If you are not careful, there will be trouble in this huge capital."

Hearing this, Minglan became even more worried.

It’s not just the Sheng family.

Nowadays, there are several companies that have been rumored to have a good relationship with the Zhongyong Mansion.

For example, many people came to the door from the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis, the Qin family of Fu Guogong, etc.

They wanted to use the connections between these families to ask Wei Yuan sideways whether they were involved in the case.

As for why not find Wei Yuan directly?

The reason is also very simple, they dare not.

Things that originally had nothing to do with them turned out to be relevant because they took the initiative to come to them.

Then it cannot be described as simply unlucky.

All in all, at this moment, the entire Bianjing can be described as an undercurrent.

Some people are anxious, some are as stable as a mountain, and some are afraid of something happening and are eager to find a way out.

However, it is worth mentioning that both the Wang family and the Kang family were frightened.

Kang Wang was punished by the Kang family to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night.

At this moment, the Kang family only hopes that Wei Yuan will not avenge his private revenge.

In the Kang family ancestral hall.

The head of the Kang family, Kang Haifeng, was scolding Kang Wang who had been kneeling all night:

"Tell me, who do you want to offend? Do you have to offend the Wei family?"

"Who doesn't know that the famous Uncle Zhongyong loves his two sisters the most.

"Now, Your Majesty has asked Uncle Zhongyong to investigate cases of treason against the enemy. If Uncle Zhongyong gets tired of our Kang family because of you, our whole family will be executed!"

Aunt Kang had been kneeling all night, her energy and blood were exhausted. Now that she was so frightened by him, she seemed even more distracted. After a while, she actually fainted.

In addition to the Kang family, the Wang family also prepared a large number of generous gifts for Wei Shuyi.

Hope her lord has plenty.

At this point, Wei Shuyi's position between the Sheng family and the Wang family was unshakable.

The farce when Hualan got married was temporarily over.

——

Afternoon.

Xuanzheng Hall.

Wei Yuan and Yan Da were reporting to Zhao Zhen some details about the case of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Zhao Zhen seemed very careless about these things.

"The law has no mercy. This case, no matter who is involved, must be investigated to the end."

Wei Yuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will investigate this case quickly and clearly in the safest way."

Zhao Zhen said happily: "I believe in your ability."

"I heard that Haizhou, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, went to Huai, Zhejiang and other places to implement the salt introduction method for me. He went to see you specifically?"

"What did he say to you?"

Wei Yuan said truthfully: "Your Majesty, since this salt introduction method was proposed by me, Lord Hai just wants to ask me about some information."

"In addition, he also told me that he would like to request His Majesty's decree to establish a sea ban."

Zhao Zhen didn't expect that Wei Yuan would even say this, and he was a little surprised.

"In your opinion, should this sea ban be lifted or should it not be?"

Wei Yuan said: "I don't know how to govern the country, so I dare not make rash remarks."

"But I believe that Japanese pirates are indeed rampant along the coast. Although we have implemented a sea ban in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the banditry cannot be eliminated, and the people along the coast are suffering miserably."

"When the new army is fully trained, I intend to let the new army sharpen its swords and wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast. This will bring stability to the people along the coast and contribute to your majesty's civil and military achievements."

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "While handling the case, we must not forget to train the new army."

Wei Yuan's heart moved.

This matter seems to be done.

When things happen between the two kings, there will be consequences.

By then, if he continues to stay in the capital, he may become a thorn in the side of some people.

It would be better to go to the south for a walk and then come back.

At that time, all things will return to dust.

"but."

Zhao Zhen's voice sounded again,

"I will discuss with all the officials Haosheng when the big meeting is held next year."

At this point, the entire hall quickly fell silent.

Yanda winked at Wei Yuan, indicating that it was time to retire.

But at this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, if we really want to lift the maritime ban, I believe that we still need to set up a navy."

He was going to negotiate terms with Zhao Zhen.

If we don't talk about it at this time, there will be no chance when the big things are settled before the year.
