Chapter 275 Husband and Wife Are One, Sharing the Same Destiny

Before Wei Yuan arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the news of his dismissal had already spread.

Zhang Guifen ordered everyone in the mansion not to discuss the matter, and before he went home, she invited Minglan, Wei Ruyi and others to come.

Thinking that more people would make it more lively, it would also make Wei Yuan less troubled.

As for Wei Shuyi, he could only rest on the bed because of his physical discomfort and was not convenient to come.

So, when Wei Yuan returned to the mansion, he saw the whole family gathered together.

"Sir, you are back."

Zhang Guifen brought everyone to greet Wei Yuan.

The latter looked at everyone and smiled: "What's the matter? Such a big scene."

Then, he looked at Mu Ge'er in Minglan's arms, took it familiarly and hugged it, and smiled:

"It's only been a few days since I last saw Mu Ge'er, why do I feel that Mu Ge'er has grown taller."

Zhang Guifen and everyone else thought that Wei Yuan pretended to be so relaxed because he didn't want everyone to worry.

For a time, whether she or Minglan and others, they all felt a little sad.

Wei Yuan has endured too much for this "big family".

"You have been living in the imperial city these days, so you must have been very hard. The mansion has prepared hot water. Take a bath and change clothes first."

"I have invited the cook from Fanlou. Let's have a drink with you later."

Zhang Guifen took Mu Ge'er from Wei Yuan's arms again and urged him to change clothes first.

Wei Yuan nodded, "Okay, people are refreshed when they are happy. Let's have a good drink today."

Happy event?

Can being suddenly dismissed be called a happy event?

After Wei Yuan went to take a bath and change clothes.

Minglan and the others discussed:

"Looking at your uncle's face, he seems to be very relaxed. He is not worried about his dismissal."

"If your uncle has something on his mind, he always keeps it in his heart and never shows it. He has been like this since he was a child."

"The dismissal must be a big blow to your uncle."

"."

Yes, he was originally a high-ranking minister of the Central Government and a high-ranking military commander, but in a short time, he lost everything.

I'm afraid anyone would feel upset.

"The official pretends to be relaxed, just because he doesn't want us to worry."

Thinking of this, Zhang Guifen couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.

Just when Wei Yuan returned to the Marquis' Mansion from the Palace Front Department, the news of his dismissal had almost spread throughout the capital.

From high-ranking officials to peddlers, everyone was discussing this matter, and there were those who took advantage of the situation and those who felt sorry for him.

Some people said that Wei Yuan was too arrogant and no longer favored by the emperor. At most, he would have a title for the rest of his life.

Others said that this was a temporary punishment from the emperor, and he would be reinstated after a period of time.

Of course, for smart people, the news of Wei Yuan's dismissal can prove that he is still favored by the emperor.

Otherwise, why didn't the emperor find someone to replace him after dismissing him?

In any case, the news that Wei Yuan, Han Zhang, and Wen Yanbo were dismissed has spread like wildfire, and the political situation in the entire court is undergoing subtle changes.

The dispute between the two prime ministers, which lasted for more than a year, finally came to an end.

A curious person once investigated that the dispute between the two prime ministers involved hundreds of officials, and there were more than 40 officials in Beijing who were demoted to other places for various reasons.

It was the most extensive factional dispute since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The end of the party struggle was not the withdrawal of Han and Wen from the political stage, but the end of the Qingli New Deal.

After the party struggle ended, the right and wrong of the past had to be finalized.

This was one of the reasons why Zhao Zhen manipulated the party struggle.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with Wei Yuan. He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good rest for a while, that's all.

In the mansion of the loyal and brave marquis.

After Wei Yuan bathed and changed his clothes, he personally wrote a letter to Peng Sun, asking him to take care of the three sons of King Yong and not let them really die in the Helan Mountains.

After all, he still needed the help of those three people to control Zhao Jianjia.

He handed the letter to Song Ke and said earnestly: "This is the first errand I gave you. Do it well, and then go to Suzhou in Jiangnan to wait for me."

Suzhou?

Will the marquis go to Suzhou?

Song Ke was a smart man. Although he was a little confused, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he took the letter and left the capital.

Later, Wei Yuan and his family had a meal and drank wine.

After three rounds of wine, Wei Yuan noticed that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled and said:

"Did you hear that I was dismissed and come to comfort me?"

After this, everyone fell silent and dared not speak.

Finally, Minglan stood up and stood behind Wei Yuan, pinching his shoulders,

"Uncle is a natural talent, I believe he will be reinstated soon."

Zhang Guifen quickly agreed: "Yes, sir, there is no need to rush. You have been busy for so many years, and you should rest for a while."

Everyone thought that Wei Yuan must be worried at this moment and wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow, but he suddenly laughed, touched the chubby cheek of Mu Ge'er beside him, and slowly said:

"You are right, it is time to rest for a while. I have submitted a letter to the government, hoping to stay in Jiangnan for a few days."

Stay for a few days?

Everyone suddenly realized and said one after another:

"It's good to go and relax."

"The scenery in Jiangnan is beautiful. Uncle will go there to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Don't worry about the affairs of the court for the time being."

"."

In fact, none of them understood that Wei Yuan chose to leave the capital at this time just to get out of the sight of the officials.

He wanted to disappear for a while and stay away from the disputes in the court.

Moreover, Guo Hao's matter should also have an outcome.

After the meal, Zhang Guifen brought a basin of hot water to the bedroom, squatted down, took off Wei Yuan's shoes and socks herself, and carefully washed his feet.

"When does the official plan to go to Jiangnan? I can prepare in advance."

She wanted to go to Jiangnan with Wei Yuan.

However, she couldn't leave, and her two children couldn't leave the capital.

Wei Yuan touched Zhang Guifen's green hair and said, "I can go alone. You have to stay in the capital and take good care of our children."

Zhang Guifen suddenly raised her head and said, "Official, do you want to go alone?"

Wei Yuan nodded and said: "You and I are one, at least one of us must stay in the capital."

Zhang Guifen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

It wasn't that she wanted to accompany Wei Yuan on a tour, but she didn't want to be separated from him for a moment.

But she also knew that people like them, who enjoyed treatment that ordinary people did not have, were destined to lose the chance to live like ordinary people.

Wei Yuan said earnestly: "My husband was dismissed from his post, and he has offended many people over the years. Although my husband is relieved when I leave, I am afraid that it will cause hardship to those who stay in the capital."

Zhang Guifen understood that he was worried that soon, someone would add insult to injury and trample on the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Not to mention anything else, families like the Yongchang Bo Mansion have some grudges with the Hou Mansion, all because of the sinking of the weapon into the sea.

If they jump out and accuse the Zhongyong Hou Mansion of all kinds, I'm afraid Zhang Guifen's life in the capital will not be easy.

If Wei Yuan was still in a high position, those who advocated excellence would naturally not dare to jump out, but now, Wei Yuan only has a title but no real power.

"It's okay, officials, let's relax. My parents are in the capital, who dares to bully me?"

Zhang Guifen smiled and spoke.

Wei Yuan sighed and asked her to sit next to him, "It's true to say that since you married me, you and I have been together less and more apart. Because of me, you are no longer as free as before. , I’m sorry for you.”

Before Zhang Guifen married him, she often went to Yongchang's Mansion to play polo, but since she got married, she has never gone there once.

Except during the New Year and festivals, I rarely get together with the distinguished family members.

And everything she did was for Wei Yuan and the 'Wei family'.

She is not yet twenty this year, and has never had hair extensions, so her heart is tied to Wei Yuan.

Never had a single complaint.

"The officials have said that you and I are one, so why is it painful? Even if it is painful, it is not as painful as the officials."

Zhang Guifen nestled on Wei Yuan's shoulder.

The latter took advantage of the situation and hugged her slender waist, "I'm going to Jiangnan now, and my stay may be longer."

Zhang Guifen blurted out and asked: "How long?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Zhang Guifen fell into silence.

After a while, she finally spoke,

"No matter what the officials do or what they need me to do, I have no regrets."

"Husband and wife are one, united in one heart and one destiny."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan held her hand firmly and said, "Husband and wife are one, united in one heart and one destiny."

——

now.

In the emperor's palace.

Seeing Zhao Zhen wake up faintly, Manager Zhu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to have a meal?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "When is it?"

Manager Zhu responded: "We just arrived at Xushi."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I will dismiss those three people from their posts. Are there no troubles in the Procuratorate and the three provinces and departments?"

Manager Zhu shook his head, "I have never heard that those adults showed signs of causing trouble."

Zhao Zhen coughed suddenly, "Where's Wei Yuan? Those proud and powerful generals under his command didn't even think of coming to me to ask for an explanation?"

Manager Zhu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious. Aren't the generals under General Wei also your Majesty's people? How dare they offend Your Majesty for General Wei?"

Having said this, he handed Wei Yuan's note to Zhao Zhen, "However, before General Wei left the palace, he left a note for Your Majesty to review."

Zhao Zhen sat up with difficulty, took the note and read it. Finally, he smiled and cursed:

"What a good Wei Qing. He had long expected that I would dismiss him because of the military reform. He told me that after the military reform, Xixia will not be afraid. The focus of our country's defense deployment will be in Daizhou and Yanmen. That’s it.”

"He also said that he wanted to take advantage of the period of dismissal to go sightseeing and have a good rest."

"This brat."

If someone else fell into such a trap and saw through Zhao Zhen's thoughts, he would definitely become angry.

But Wei Yuan was different. He used retreat to advance, allowing Zhao Zhen to see his loyalty again.

Wei Yuan adopted such an attitude because he wanted to tell Zhao Zhen that everything he had was given by Zhao Zhen, and he had no regrets whether he was dismissed from his position or title.

This is something that Zhao Zhen likes deeply.

After Zhao Zhen closed the paper and thought for a moment, he suddenly ordered:

"Since this kid can guess my thoughts, I just let him go."

"It's just that he was promoted by me in the first place and he is my person. Even if he goes out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, he can't lose my face."

"Let him take the soldiers of Manjia Battalion to travel around the mountains and rivers. After all, they are his personal guards."

Wei Yuan was Zhao Zhen's favorite, and this was known to the world.

Zhao Zhen's dismissal of Wei Yuan's position was a matter between the emperor and his ministers.

He didn't want outsiders to think that there was a rift between them, and he loved Wei Yuan too much, so after much thought, he decided to let Wei Yuan take his bodyguards on a sightseeing trip.

The purpose of this is to let the world know that the relationship between their monarch and his ministers has always been very good, and Wei Yuan is still his favorite.

"I originally wanted to use this incident to temper him, but it turned out that this brat wanted to take a break."

"No one can become a great talent without training, and since the prince has a strong friendship with him as a teacher and student, I am not willing to scold him too much."

"That's all."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen felt a little helpless.

He attaches great importance to Wei Yuan as a courtier. When Wei Yuan travels, wherever he goes, in a sense, it represents his position and attitude.

He didn't want people in the world to spread the rumors about the rift between their monarchs and ministers, so he asked Wei Yuan to take the soldiers of the Manjia Battalion with him. This was also his favor for Wei Yuan.

However, Zhao Zhen needs to think carefully about how to beat Wei Yuan and temper him in the way between monarchs and ministers.

Zhao Zhen's feelings for Wei Yuan are very simple.

The latter was promoted by him, which is equivalent to a teacher teaching a talented and knowledgeable student, and a father raising an extremely talented child.

Love the calf deeply.

On the one hand, Zhao Zhen wanted to temper him and let him know what it means to be unpredictable in the power of God. On the other hand, he was afraid of hitting him too hard and destroying him.

"During the period of Wei Yuan's dismissal, whoever dares to inflict insults on the Zhongyong Hou family will be severely punished."

"If there is something really wrong with the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, let the Crown Prince make the final decision."

"Let that brat come and see me again before he leaves the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen closed his eyes to rest.

After all, he didn't want outsiders to interfere in the affairs between their monarch and his ministers.

——

at this time.

The Liao Kingdom went to the capital, in the palace.

Yelu Ren first came to see Yelu Hongji with a secret report.

The latter's physical condition is also somewhat worrying now. He often feels sleepy and his limbs are weak, as if he has a feeling that his life span is coming to an end.

Due to the arrival of the former, the latter dragged his heavy body and reluctantly opened his eyes, feeling deeply tired and said:

"Why did Aiqing come to the palace at this time?"

Yelu Ren knelt down in front of Yelu Hongji first, holding a secret music in both hands, and said seriously:

"Confirmed news came from Bianjing that Zhao Zhen was critically ill and had been in coma for several days. Although his condition has stabilized, he is already at the end of his life."

"Your Majesty is worried about the rise of Nüzhi, and our internal troubles in Daliao continue to grow. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and station troops in Yanyun."

Hearing this, Yelu Hongji's originally heavy eyelids suddenly opened and murmured:

"Is the Emperor of the Zhao family going to die too?"

Want it too?

Yelvren was shocked.
