Chapter 216 Do You Want to Go Straight to the Wedding Night?
That night.
Zhao Zhen personally issued an order that in view of Wei Yuan's mistakes in the southeast, such as indiscriminate killing of innocent people, loss of weapons, etc., special merits and demerits should be balanced, and no reward or punishment would be given.
Many nobles, noble families, Qingliu, etc. who wanted to see the fall of Wei Yuan were extremely excited when they heard this decree.
"Wei Yuan is still too crazy. He thinks he has some merits, so he dares to be lawless? If he doesn't have His Majesty's support, he is a piece of shit!"
"Yes, now that Wei Yuan has lost his holy favor, who else can protect him? Sooner or later, he will be like the two kings!"
"The good days of Zhongyong Bo Weiyuan are over!"
"."
However, about two hours later, another imperial edict was issued from the palace.
After calculation by Qintianmonitor, October 2nd is an auspicious day in the zodiac, which is suitable for many weddings.
Zhao Zhen personally granted marriage to Wei Yuan and Zhang Guifen, and it was scheduled for October 2.
Everything needed for the wedding is prepared from the palace.
Some people who had offended Wei Yuan or were offended by Wei Yuan immediately couldn't sleep well after hearing the news.
"Didn't you say that Wei Yuan is going to fall? I've already written down the details of his participation. Should I submit it or not?"
"Yeah, what do you think is going on? Why are the officials interested in his marriage again?"
"I always feel that it's not that Wei Yuan's good days have come to an end, but our good days have come to an end, right?"
"."
This gift of marriage aroused great repercussions.
Some honorable nobles and Qingliu who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, all stopped at this moment and did not dare to make any further moves.
In short, the winner in the end is still Zhao Zhen.
First, he no longer needs to reward Wei Yuan. If Wei Yuan has resentment in his heart, then when he gets married, the prince will resolve this resentment;
Secondly, it can be regarded as an explanation to the nobles, and the weapon can also become a handle for the nobles, and Zhao Zhen is firmly in his hands;
Thirdly, it can also stop some people who want to overthrow Wei Yuan from acting recklessly.
As long as Wei Yuan does not fall, Zhao Zhen will always have an extremely sharp sword in his hand.
This was also the reason why Zhao Zhen wanted to train Di Qing.
It's a pity that Zhao Zhen was still very immature at that time and didn't know much about the emperor's mind.
But the Zhao Zhen of today is far from the Zhao Zhen of those days.
As for Wei Yuan's benefits in the southeast, they are actually enough.
First, get a lot of money;
Secondly, control the navy in your own hands;
Thirdly, leaving a clear name in the southeast, so that the world will not say that he is a 'god of murder' or a reckless man who only knows how to fight, this is particularly important, as well as the private collection of weapons.
If Zhao Zhen is the one who immediately benefits the most, then Wei Yuan is close behind.
Wei Yuan can refuse to reward, but the soldiers of the Danglu Army cannot refuse to reward.
Zhao Zhen thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to reward him with some real money.
For example, general-level figures such as Chen Daniu and Lin Zhaoyuan could receive one thousand taels of silver, silk, rice, noodles and other items.
Generals who are one level below them will receive eight hundred taels.
Even if it falls on the soldiers, they can still get about two or three taels of silver, not including some rice noodles and other food.
You know, the Danglu army has a total of 80,000 troops.
This reward is at least five to six hundred thousand taels of silver.
The key is to take the opportunity to gather a wave of military morale.
So, let’s wrap up the matter about the southeast for now.
The next day, at dawn, Wei Shuyi, Wei Ruyi, Minglan and others arrived at Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.
Since Wei Yuan just arrived yesterday, there must be a lot of things to deal with.
Therefore, they did not bother us.
At this moment, there is a pavilion over there at Chunyi Pavilion.
Minglan is doing a tea show.
Wei Shuyi asked Wei Yuan worriedly:
"I heard that you entered the palace yesterday and were not treated well by the officials? Are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Lan, Wei Ruyi and others also looked at Wei Yuan.
He shook his head and replied: "It doesn't matter."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Ruyi smiled and said, "You are getting married next month. Are you happy?"
Wei Yuan said: "If you can save yourself the many complicated etiquette of getting married, you will be really happy."
Wei Ruyi laughed and scolded: "Bah! Maybe you want to go straight to the bridal chamber?"
Hearing this, Minglan, who was still waiting to be married, suddenly blushed.
Wei Shu glared at her and said, "Don't keep your mouth shut. The girl is still here."
Minglan smiled and said, "You guys were talking, but I didn't hear anything."
Wei Yuan laughed and said, "In a few years, we will know that it's time for the girl to get married."
The elders chatted more and more, but Minglan was too embarrassed to continue listening, so she simply took the tea set and left the room temporarily.
Wei Shuyi said angrily: "One of you is an aunt and the other is an uncle, you don't act like elders either."
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "The graves of my father, mother, grandparents, and grandparents have all been moved to Zhonglie Temple. Have the eldest sister and the second sister ever visited them?"
"The place I picked is also beautiful with beautiful scenery. What do you think?"
Sister Wei Shuyi said one after another:
"It's true that you are thoughtful. It will be convenient to visit your parents in the future."
"Before you came to the capital, the elder of the Wei clan in Hedong, Mr. Wei You, came and personally brought some juniors from the Wei family to offer incense to my parents. This old man was really considerate."
Hearing what Wei Ruyi said, Wei Yuan was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect that after the tomb was moved, old man Wei You would be able to make another trip despite the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
"This old man is not bad. From now on, we siblings can respect him as an elder."
As Wei Yuan finished speaking, not long after, Minglan brought the freshly made tea acrobatics to the three of them and said with a smile:
"Mother, aunt, uncle, you guys try it."
Wei Shuyi said: "This girl is not that bad. These days, whenever she has time, she will study this tea acrobatics."
Wei Yuan was quite curious. He took a sip from the teacup and suddenly felt a familiar taste coming.
"This tea. I seem to have drunk it somewhere."
Minglan said: "I learned it in Hangzhou."
Wei Yuan thought about it and remembered a small tea shop in Hangzhou. He blurted out:
"Zhao's Tea Shop?"
Minglan nodded, "Uncle, how do you think it tastes?"
Wei Yuan praised generously: "The tea made by Ming girl is naturally very delicious."
Minglan was so happy that she almost jumped up.
After lunch, Wei Yuan went to visit Zhang Fu at the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the mansion, he saw a servant with a white cloth tied on his head and wearing mourning clothes hurried over.
The servant was holding a white lantern with the words "Fuchang Bo" written on it during the day.
Wei Yuan frowned.
When the servant came, he immediately kowtowed to Wei Yuan and said:
"Master Wei Bo, my master died at 3:45 today."
Wei Yuan was stunned. Fuchang Bo died?
Then Rong Xian would become the new Fuchang Bo?
Wei Yuan thought of meeting the little Rong Fei yesterday, and thought about it for a while, then asked:
"Didn't the imperial physician in the palace say that Fuchang Bo might be able to survive the New Year? How could it be so sudden?"
The servant responded: "My master suddenly coughed up blood a few nights ago for some reason."
Why?
Could it be that he heard about the military equipment sinking into the sea and made his condition worse?
Wei Yuan nodded, "Let's go back first and tell your master Rong to accept the condolences."
