Chapter 287: Furious, Never Enter Beijing!

In the main hall of Taihu Villa.

Gu Qianfan sat upright, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He was obviously frightened by Wei Yuan's words.

If all this was done deliberately by the Marquis, should he report it truthfully? Guessing the emperor's heart, once the crime is confirmed.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Gu Qianfan shook his head and smiled bitterly again, "Marquis, why bother? Why do you have to tell me?"

Wei Yuan walked slowly to the outside of the main hall, turned his back to him, and stood with his hands behind his back, "Qianfan, check it out carefully. This Marquis believes in you. If there is a war in the future, this Marquis will take you with him."

Hearing this, Gu Qianfan was delighted, but then he lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he asked, "Marquis, I don't know, how do you want me to check? How should I check it?"

This is actually a question, because it only points to one result, which is what result Wei Yuan wants.

"This Marquis has chartered an entire flower boat, invited the famous Jiangnan prostitute Xie Yuying to perform, and invited countless dignitaries from the southeast."

"Now, this Marquis has kept the geisha by his side. What do you think is the reason for this Marquis to do so much?"

Wei Yuan asked back.

Gu Qianfan fell into thought again. After a long time, he bowed deeply to Wei Yuan's back and said:

"My Lord, I understand."

"You mean, you summoned merchants for money, and you kept the geisha by your side for sex?"

Wei Yuan nodded without saying anything.

Gu Qianfan said again: "I understand how to investigate."

Of course, he would not investigate the real purpose of Wei Yuan summoning merchants.

He would write in the letter submitted to the government that it was Wei Yuan who wanted to make money and wanted those merchants to bear all the expenses on the flower boat, and it was Wei Yuan who was lustful and kept the famous Jiangnan prostitute by his side.

As for the gains and losses of shipping, he would not say, nor dare to say.

In public or private, he should not say.

Because he knew very well that the Great Zhou could not do without Wei Yuan, just like the Central Plains regime could not do without the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

"I will take my leave."

Gu Qianfan left.

As soon as he left, Lin Zhaoyuan came to Wei Yuan and asked curiously: "My Lord, did you let him go? What if he talks nonsense?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "He has what he wants. As long as this person has extravagant demands and desires, he will have weaknesses."

Lin Zhaoyuan asked again: "Why did my Lord do this?"

Why?

It's very simple. Wei Yuan doesn't want to work in Zhao Zhen's dynasty.

His bright political future and his bright future are with the prince, not Zhao Zhen.

If he really just came to Jiangnan to travel and did not show his weaknesses or desires as Zhao Zhen thought, I'm afraid Zhao Zhen would be even more worried about him.

Instead of letting Zhao Zhen find a big reason to punish him, it's better to show that he is greedy and lustful.

Only in this way can Zhao Zhen trust the prince with confidence.

All this is because the military reform in Yanbian has such a huge impact.

Let me ask you, a prince, who decided to make a drastic reform just because of his own words, if he is in a high position in the future, will he be able to control the future new monarch?

With Zhao Zhen's character of clearing all obstacles for his son by launching a big prison, what if he dealt a heavy blow to Wei Yuan, and this blow was enough to make it difficult for him to recover, then what would happen?

For a saint like Zhao Zhen, Wei Yuan is indispensable for the country's foreign affairs.

The more the prince listens to Wei Yuan, the more dangerous Wei Yuan is.

Rather than being like a time bomb, not knowing when Zhao Zhen will find a big reason to convict him, it is better to choose a crime that is not too big or too small and send it to Zhao Zhen.

Wei Yuan is not familiar with other people in the Imperial City Division, and he dare not trust them, but he knows Gu Qianfan very well. Gu Qianfan wants to join the army, how could Yan Da not know?

Therefore, Yan Da sent Gu Qianfan to Wei Yuan.

As for the details, Wei Yuan was unwilling to explain to Lin Zhaoyuan.

Seeing that he was silent, the latter simply stopped asking.

After a pause, the latter suddenly said: "Count the days, the young master and the eldest girl are about to arrive at the Zhou Li, don't you plan to go back to Kyoto to take a look?"

The title of Wei Yuan's loyal and brave marquis is not hereditary.

If he dies, Wei Qiji can only inherit the title of "Loyal and Brave Marquis".

If the father is not present during the Zhou Li, it is inevitable that something is missing.

However, at this time, Wei Yuan can hardly go back.

"I have already told Guifen that the matter of the child's Zhou Li will be held by my teacher."

Next, Wei Yuan needs to inspect the Southeast Navy.

Now that he has been dismissed, there are actually only two sources of his real power, one is the Danglu Army, and the other is the Southeast Navy.

As long as there are no problems in these two directions, he can always pull out an army of hundreds of thousands.

This is the foundation of his life.

Later, Wei Yuan came to his residence and ordered people to boil hot water, intending to take a bath and change clothes.

There were many maids bought by the King of Wu in the Taihu Villa, who were responsible for cleaning the house on a daily basis.

So, during his bath, there were two maids serving him closely.

As a loyal and brave marquis, he was no stranger to such treatment.

He sat in the bathtub, spread his arms, slowly closed his eyes, and enjoyed the hot water.

After a while, he suddenly felt a slight coolness on his skin. He felt it carefully, and the pleasure of his fingers sliding on his skin instantly surged into his heart, and he felt like he couldn't stop.

Wei Yuan said: "There is no need to wait for me to rub myself, just stand aside."

Then, a familiar voice came from my ear, "Okay."

Um?

Xie Yuying?

Wei Yuan slowly opened his eyes and saw Xie Yuying standing next to him, "Why are you here if you don't want to have a good rest?"

The latter lowered his head and said shyly: "The slave family said that they will serve the Marquis, so of course they must fulfill it."

Wei Yuan saw that she was only wearing a thin gauze dress, her skin was as white and tender as snow, and she was barefoot on the ground. She was really a beauty.

"You seem to be very good at serving others. Before you became famous, did you often serve men like this?"

Hearing this, Xie Yuying's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down on her knees and said hurriedly: "The slave family. The slave family has never served a man to bathe. If the Marquis does not believe it, the slave family can swear it."

Wei Yuan saw her panic, waved his hand towards her, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't panic, come here, stand here."

Xie Yuying was as obedient as a rabbit, coming to stand behind her docilely.

Wei Yuan closed his eyes again, "Go on."

Xie Yuying nodded, not daring to speak nonsense, and used her hands to stroke Wei Yuan's scar-covered body back and forth.

Just now, she was really scared. She was afraid that Wei Yuan would dislike her identity.

As for serving others, it actually doesn't matter whether she has done it or not.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was enjoying it.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, he took one of Xie Yuying's hands, held it in front of his eyes, looked at the jade-like fingers, and murmured: "Such a good pair of hands, no wonder they can play her piano." Unreleased tunes.”

Xie Yuying lowered her head and said nothing.

Suddenly, Wei Yuan suddenly stood up, jumped out of the tub with lightning speed, and held her in his arms.

"ah!"

As a conditioned reflex, Xie Yuying let out a sigh.

At this time, a tiger guard outside the door heard the sound and quickly asked: "Master Marquis, are you okay?"

Wei Yuan responded loudly, "Nothing, I don't have to be on duty tonight, we're all gone."

"No." Several guards guarding the door bowed in unison.

At this time, in the room, how could Xie Yuying not know what Wei Yuan was going to do next?

She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Wei Yuan walked directly towards the bed.

Xie Yuying buried her head in his chest.

She was more courageous and careful than any woman. She did not throw herself into Wei Yuan's arms as soon as she saw him, but used her own advantages to make Wei Yuan feel as comfortable as possible.

Only in this way, she felt, could it be possible to continue.

Otherwise, what kind of woman has he not seen before?

Wei Yuan threw Xie Yuying directly on the bed.

Her heart was racing, and she didn't dare to say anything, let alone look at Wei Yuan at this moment, and simply closed her eyes.

Wei Yuan stroked her face.

Xie Yuying dared not resist at all.

The night passed.

Wei Yuan showed no mercy to her and vented all his strength on her.

That night, Xie Yuying almost fainted.

If Wei Yuan treats Zhang Guifen, he will feel a little reluctant.

But for Xie Yuying, it was just to vent.

Xie Yuying seemed to feel it too.

Several times, I wanted to say the words "please have mercy on me", but in the end, I still didn't say it.

She could only try her best and bear the impact that was simply unbearable for her.

During this period, she thought more than once that perhaps for herself, enduring everything like this with Wei Yuan was the greatest expression of her value.

——

Jiayou's seventh year, mid-June.

Yelu Xin, the Liao envoy, first arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.

Li Liangzuo met Ye Luxin at the first opportunity.

The two of them once went to Dazhou as envoys at the same time. At that time, Wei Yuan had a lot of trouble with them.

The two also formed a deep friendship.

"Brother Yelu, I have been waiting for you for so long, and finally you are here!"

At this time, Li Liangzuo was holding his hand and heading to his mansion.

Ye Luxin first smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you yet. From now on, this Xixia..."

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Brother Yelu, just know it."

The two then got into the carriage.

Li Liangzuo said again: "Brother Yelu, I have prepared some wine at home. Just you and me, we will not get drunk today."

Yeluxin nodded first.

Later, Li Liangzuo lowered his voice and asked: "I have also heard the news about Wei Yuan's dismissal. I heard that Wei Yuan went to Jiangnan in the Zhou Dynasty and made a lot of noise there. He seemed a little dissatisfied with being dismissed. It means dismissal.”

Ye Luxin said first: "Wei Yuan was dismissed because of the military reforms in the Shaanxi Road area of ​​the Zhou Dynasty. It was a meritorious deed, but the Zhou emperor was indeed a little old and confused."

Li Liangzuo said: "I will report carefully. Zhang Fu may have been suspicious of the Zhou emperor because of Wei Yuan's affairs, so he has submitted a memorial to resign."

During this period of time, Yelu Xinxian has been on the road and knows very little about the latest news on the situation among various countries.

"So, Zhang Fu and Wei Yuan are no longer in the center of Zhou Kingdom at this moment?"

The big man has two walls, namely Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Now, in terms of age and seniority, in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Fu looked very much like Wei Qing, while Wei Yuan looked very much like Huo Qubing.

A few years later, Wei Yuan will become ‘Wei Qing’ after Zhang Fu.

Li Liangzuo nodded firmly and said: "As long as there is a rift between their rulers and their ministers, and the Emperor of Zhou is no longer willing to reuse their masters and apprentices, there will be a lot for us and you to do."

Ye Luxin first said seriously: "I came to Xia this time to ask you to tell me the truth. If a war breaks out, how many troops can Xixia send?"

Hearing this, Li Liangzuo was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Three hundred thousand, all the troops of the six military divisions are put in!"

Three hundred thousand.

Ye Luxin murmured first, and then asked: "Can you hold back the Zhou army along Shaanxi Road?"

Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "That's no problem. Since you asked, I also have a question. If a war breaks out, to what extent do you, the Liao Kingdom, want to fight?"

Ye Luxin first looked at Li Liangzuo with an extremely stern expression and said word by word: "Go south and capture the dragon!"

Go south to capture the dragon?

After hearing these four words, Li Liangzuo's pupils suddenly widened.

Well done, go south to capture the dragon!

"Can it be done?"

"If the Emperor of Zhou doesn't use Zhang Fu and Wei Yuan, he can!"

"In such a national war, one or two people will not play a big role."

"One or two people may not play a big role, but these two people are the faith of Zhou's military!"

"."

Late June.

When Gu Qianfan returned to Bianjing, he immediately wrote a letter about Wei Yuan's collusion with merchants and gave it to Yanda.

The latter immediately entered the palace to meet the saint.

After Zhao Zhen learned the whole story, he became furious.

"Look, take a look, does this still look like a loyal and brave prince?"

"We chartered an entire ship and held a banquet for several days, just to win a geisha's smile! How will the history books record this in the future?!"

"As a marquis, he intimidates merchants just to collect money to buy a house and raise a geisha. My dear Wei Qing is really promising!"

With that said, he threw all the papers on the bed in front of Yanda, including Yu Shi Shen Wei Yuan's papers.

Upon seeing this, Yanda immediately knelt down and said, "Please calm down the officials!"

"Calm down your anger? Tell me, how should I calm down my anger?" Zhao Zhen was furious.

"This is the loyal and brave Marquis who has been entrusted with important responsibilities by me. If he is not an official in the court, he dares to do such a debauched thing!"

"Deserves the punishment! Deserves the punishment! Pass the decree, imperial staff, imperial staff! Send someone to Jiangnan to beat him hard!"

Court staff?

Yanda breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Guan family, I wonder how many beatings are needed?"

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Beat him until he vomits blood, beat him until he repented!"

Yanda immediately bowed and said, "No!"

After leaving the hall, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tingzhang, then it’s okay.

However, after he left, Zhao Zhen was still angry and issued another imperial edict:

"Not just the imperial staff!"

"Doesn't he like the scenery of Jiangnan? Then let him stay in Jiangnan for the rest of his life. He will never enter Beijing unless he has the will!"

Zhao Zhen, who issued two imperial edicts in succession, finally softened his expression.

At this time, Prince Zhao Xi, who heard the news, came to plead for Wei Yuan.

Zhao Zhen coughed violently several times and said seriously:

"I will do it for the evil ones."

"Wei Qing, leave it to you!"

Is Zhao Zhen really angry at Weiyuan for being greedy and lustful?

He just felt that Wei Yuan was already in a high position at a young age and had a smooth official career, and he thought he would become the new emperor's minister in the future.

With all these things, if we don’t suppress them, we will inevitably become arrogant.

Zhao Zhen even felt that Wei Yuan's greed for money and lust was actually a good thing.

At the very least, it's a good thing for the royal family.
