"What the Third Young Master said is absolutely true."
In the carriage, Wang Lengran answered immediately.
"That is to say, the Third Young Master was not in Jiangzhou before. This Ouyang Lianghan was able to fake the power of a tiger and become the king of the monkey. He did not know the heights of the world. Now that the Third Young Master is here, let's see how arrogant he is..."
Wei Shaoqi waved:
"Not only Ouyang Lianghan, but also the Prince Xunyang's Mansion behind him."
Wang Lengran asked: "Third Young Master, what should we do now? We are not allowed to move to Prince Xunyang's Mansion, especially His Highness Prince Liang..."
Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
In fact, Uncle Liang had never been so conservative before.
When the plan was laid for King Xiang's messenger and Meng Shouguang to falsely spread the news, Uncle Liang and his father still had the same attitude and concept.
That is to say, Prince Xunyang’s palace does not need to kill all the men, but all the men must be killed, and only some female relatives will be left. For example, the young princess of Prince Xunyang’s wife can return to the capital to be a puppet and marry a
A descendant of the Wei family, she became the wife of the Wei family.
It can be regarded as retaining a little bit of the incense of the Xunyang Prince's family, and symbolically bringing the relationship between the Liwei and Wei families closer. This can also be explained to His Majesty better, and His Majesty will be more accepting.
In this case, when the time comes, the heir that Li Guo'er gives birth to to the Wei family will be regarded as having two bloodlines and inheriting part of the legal tradition of the Xunyang Prince's family. There is no doubt that His Majesty will accept it...
But the dead end set up that time actually failed.
Subsequently, incidents such as the disappearance of Wei Shaoxuan with the tripod sword and the dismissal of the position of chief manager of Jiangzhou Road March were revealed one after another.
Uncle Liang Wang began to turn around and disagreed with his father because he was no longer sure of winning.
Now we are not only asking the Wei Palace not to touch Li Guo'er, but also Li Xian and Li Dalang, the father and son, not to act rashly. They will let it go for the time being, depending on His Majesty's attitude later.
After all, compared to the sworn enemy of the Wei family, the life-and-death lineage of Prince Xiang's Mansion, the empty Xunyang Prince's Mansion far away from Luoyang, the center of the storm, is definitely gentler and easier to achieve some kind of interest connection.
As for the fake messenger setting up the trap...
In the words of Uncle Liang, who had obtained the token of King Xiang, he said, as long as King Xunyang's family is not stupid, they will definitely hate or fear not only their Wei family, but also Prince Xiang's Mansion.
In fact, Wei Shaoqi didn't know much about the cause and effect of that game. He was not in the Luoyang Palace at the time. Afterwards, he only knew that Uncle Liang was responsible for the execution, and the Wei Palace was only responsible for the implementation...
As for whether Uncle Liang Wang had reached some kind of tacit understanding with His Highness the Prime Minister who looked like a white lotus flower in the court...
Wei Shaoqi also curiously asked his father. I remember that his father just looked at him with a deep look in his eyes, and then said meaningfully: The characteristic of politics is that there is no truth, and the best thing is how you use it...
…
Wei Shaoqi's eyes were dark, and while he was thinking, a clear sound of horse hoofbeats came from outside the carriage.
Qin Ying walked out of the maple forest and returned with a full load of prey.
Wei Shaoqi rubbed his face, showed a bright smile, stepped out of the carriage, and greeted him.
…
"Is Mr. Wei's hand okay?"
"Haha, it's okay. It's just a minor injury. I didn't have enough fun this time. Next time Miss Qin wants to go hunting in autumn, be sure to call me."
"Let's look at it again. By the way, I gave the hedgehog to you, take it back."
"Okay, okay."
"Aweng said that the whole body of a hedgehog is full of good medicinal food. The hedgehog's skin can reduce swelling and relieve pain. Mr. Wei can also soak its kidney whip in wine to drink, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and strengthening the bones."
"Miss Qin is so...so considerate."
"I just saw him catching it. I just saw Mr. Wei was weak and wanted to give it to you, Mr. Wei. Who would have thought that you would catch it with nothing..." Qin Ying muttered.
"..." Wei Shaoqi.
This autumn hunting trip was a fruitful one.
It would have been better if we hadn't met that damn hedgehog... Wei Shaoqi thought.
Qin and Wei rode on their horses and led a group of knights through the east gate of Xunyang City.
During this period, they chatted about each other.
However, the expression on Wei Shaoqi's face, who was following Qin Ying, looked a little weird, and occasionally his laughter was uglier than his tears.
Everyone passed by the bustling streets and arrived at Jingyi Court.
Wei Shaoqi kept smiling and watched as the figure of the plump Qin family girl in Hufu, with her back bowed and heroic appearance, disappeared from the door.
Many of the surrounding Xianbei guards looked slightly sideways at their young master's bandaged palms, which were seeping with blood.
Wei Shaoqi turned and left.
The smile on his face disappeared.
He got into the luxurious carriage and said with a straight face to Wang Lengran, who had been following and waiting:
"Let's go back."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
"By the way, where is Qiniang?"
Wei Shaoqi asked curiously.
Wang Lengran said: "Before we went out to the city to hunt in the morning, I heard from people below that Princess Anhui went to Xingzifang again to give out porridge and clothes."
When Wei Shaoqi heard this, he looked impatient and waved his hand:
"Let's go and pick her up. We have to ask Qiniang to make an appointment with Qin Ying for a meal in the evening. Qiniang is also a woman, so it will be more effective."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Wei Shaoqi turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the car window, feeling a little lost in thought.
After a while, the carriage entered Xingzifang.
It is close to the place where Princess Anhui used to give out rice and clothes.
Wei Shaoqi came back to his senses, stretched his neck, and looked over there.
He looked stunned:
"Why are there two porridge shacks together? Qiniang's one is not enough, so she built another one?"
Wei Shaoqi noticed something was wrong when he was halfway through speaking. He squinted and took a closer look at the flag hanging above the extra porridge shed, and thought curiously:
"Why is there still a flag... Shelter? It belongs to Wen Zou Zou. Why does Qiniang still have time to name it?"
"A cold shelter?"
Wang Lengran had a puzzled look on his face at first, but when he heard the name, his face suddenly changed and he said:
"Isn't this a charity hall set up by the little princess of Xunyang Palace? I've heard about it. It seems that it was initially responsible for protecting the poor scholars in Xunyang City and providing food and clothing. Later, it seemed that some food and clothing that Xunyang Palace could not use were distributed for free.
Give it to the poor in Xingzifang to prevent extravagance and waste, and do some charity for the common people during major festivals..."
Wei Shaoqi frowned:
"The Charity Hall of Prince Xunyang's Mansion? Why is it so close to Qiniang...wait a minute!"
He suddenly changed color.
The next second, Wang Lengran saw Wei Shaoqi jump out of the carriage in a hurry, abandon them, kicked away the queue, and rushed to the porridge shed in front.
"Qiniang? What are you doing in someone else's porridge shack?"
In the crowded crowd in front of the porridge shed, a confused voice was immediately followed by an angry voice belonging to Wei Shaoqi:
"Li, Fu, Su! Good boy, you still dare to harass Qiniang? You are looking for death!"
In front of the porridge shed, a figure of a certain chicken thief was standing next to the veiled guard Anhui, who was handing out porridge. With a "swish", he dropped the porridge bowl and turned around to run away.
"You, stop here, don't run if you have the guts, don't run!" Wei Shaoqi stared at this guy with his eyes fixed on him, desperately pushed away the crowd in front of him, and chased forward for a while.
In the end, after a tiring day of hunting, he was panting and holding his knees with his hands, watching Li Dalang walk away with regret...
The crowd of melon-eaters around looked at them strangely. Wei Shaoqi dragged Wei Anhui away with a dark face, shouting angrily from time to time: "Whatever you are looking at, get out of here!"
"Third brother, don't hurt them..."
"Qiniang, don't talk!"
The Xianbei guards who caught up behind felt the anger of their young master, and began to rudely push away the people to clear the way for the young master.
Wei Shaoqi pulled Wei Anhui back to her sedan chair.
As soon as he sat down, he asked with an annoyed look on his face:
"Qiniang, what were you doing just now?!"
"Porridge." She said softly.
Wei Shaoqi asked fiercely: "Have you sent Porridge to someone else's porridge shed? Why is this bastard here? Don't you know how to avoid him? What happened to Yunshui Pavilion last time? You haven't learned a lesson yet? Who is this person?"
Believe it all?
"Didn't the person who asked you to wait make it clear? How come you started chatting with someone you don't know and even made him tea?"
Wei Anhui glanced at his aggressive cousin, lowered his head and explained:
"Third brother, he said that he didn't come here with any ill intentions. He was called by his sister to deliver porridge, so he happened to meet him. He also said that what happened at Yunshui Pavilion last time was a misunderstanding. He was very sorry and didn't mean it.
offensive."
Before Wei Shaoqi could speak, she whispered:
"Third brother, in fact, he is not a bad person. He didn't do anything rude. We just shared some porridge together and had a brief chat.
"And I went there by myself, just in time to return the robe he had left behind."
Wei Shaoqi listened, his temples bulged with blood, and he suppressed his anger and said:
"Why don't you wash those tattered clothes and return them to him? Don't you know where to find a latrine and throw them away?"
"Other people's things must be returned to their original owners." Wei Anhui insisted.
Seeing her clear eyes, Wei Shaoqi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:
"Answer me, he...has he ever touched you with his dirty hands?"
"No. He is not a disciple."
"If he dares to touch a hair of my Wei family's daughter, he will have his hands chopped off! Even if his surname is Li, so what!"
Wei Shaoqi rolled up his sleeves and warned with a gloomy face:
"Next time we serve porridge, Third Brother, I will accompany you, and you should not talk to him again in the future, do you understand?"
"Third brother..."
"Um?"
"I know...I know."
Wei Shaoqi was about to get off the car. Before leaving, he turned around and asked:
"Qiniang, last time at Yunshui Pavilion, he entered the box by mistake. Why don't you come next door to find the third brother?"
Wei Anhui lowered his head: "I forgot."
"forget?"
Wei Anhui clasped his fingers together.
"Isn't Third Brother meeting Sister Qin in the next box? I'm afraid that I might disturb Third Brother."
"Really? Are you just afraid of disturbing third brother? Are you sure it's not anything else?"
Wei Shaoqi stared at her for a while, and suddenly his voice softened:
"Qiniang, Third Brother is not an unreasonable person. What are you afraid of? If anything happens in the future, you must tell Third Brother as soon as possible. Don't let your sympathy overflow. The last few times, you were lucky and didn't encounter any problems.
to the bad guys.
"This is not Luoyang. Uncle Liang Wang and the others are not here. There are many bad people outside. Third brother is also worried that you will be hurt. After all, you are so young and simple and don't understand anything. Third brother is very worried about you, do you understand?"
"I understand, third brother, it's for my own good."
"That's right, remember, our Wei family has many enemies. Many people want to have ill intentions towards you, including the one named Li just now. There are too many tricks by these bad people. Only your own family is the most reliable in the world. Do you understand?
?If anything happens, tell Third Brother immediately and Third Brother will protect you!"
"Okay, third brother."
Wei Anhui smiled and nodded: "Anhui won't do it next time."
"Qiniang is so good."
After being coaxed, Wei Shaoqi smiled and left.
After getting off the carriage, his smile faded and he returned to his carriage with a very unhappy expression.
He immediately ordered Wang Lengran:
"We will send people to keep an eye on it from now on to prevent today's incident from happening again."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Wang Lengran nodded vigorously.
Wei Shaoqi was silent for a while and suddenly said:
"I have thought about it and realized that this is not a good sign. I must report it to the palace immediately."
"What's the sign?"
Wei Shaoqi's unprovoked words made Wang Lengran stunned and did not react for a moment.
He tried to ask: "Third Young Master, did you say that Li Dalang came to harass the princess again..."
"No! Is he worthy?"
Wei Shaoqi suddenly became angry and said something loudly, then returned to normal and continued with a cold face:
"This young master is talking about Li Dalang and Qin Ying!
"Prince Xunyang's Palace has long wanted to marry into the family of General Zuo Wuwei!"
Wang Lengran whispered:
"This is not normal. The Qin family is very popular right now, and every force wants to be friends with them."
Wei Shaoqi waved his hand:
"No, I thought about it for a moment. The matter of the Yunshui Pavilion box last time can't be done just like that. We must report the matter back in full. Let's say... Prince Xunyang's palace is dishonest and the ambition of the wolf is obvious.
Revealed, the matter of seeking marriage with the Qin family, which holds military power, is clear evidence and the intention is evident.
"This matter should not only be known to our Prince Wei's Palace, but also to Prince Liang's Palace. Let all of us in the Wei family know. Let's see how Uncle Liang reacts and see if he can suppress the Prince Xunyang's Palace! How can we continue to let it go?
"
Wang Lengran immediately understood that Wei Shaoqi, as the third son of King Wei, was naturally determined to follow the line of the Prince of Wei. He was very dissatisfied with the line of the Prince of Liang and regarded it as weak and conservative. It was the voice within the Wei family that hindered the Prince of Wei.
"Uncle Liang Wang is still too kind. The battle for Li Wei is a matter of life and death. Is there any way out?
"Even if it's King Xunyang, let me ask, is he close to King Xiang, or is he close to his father and King Liang? They both have the surname Li, so how can we still have hope for brothers whose blood is thicker than water?
"Once people have a way out, they will become cowardly and retreat, and they will not be able to accomplish anything. Turning around in a disaster and looking forward and backward will only hinder our real major tasks!
"Prince Wang, do you think so?"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Wang Lengran could not afford to provoke this kind of internal line dispute, whether it was the King of Wei or the King of Liang. At this moment, facing Wei Shaoqi's gloomy look, he could not comment and bowed his head in response.
Wei Shaoqi's face softened slightly and he said calmly:
"You will also report the matter to me as a witness to this young master.
"I want to see how Uncle Liang Wang responds. Does he care about the marriage between Qin and Li?
"We can't let an outsider named Li rob his nephew of his marriage, right?"
"What the Third Young Master said is absolutely true."
Wei Shaoqi smiled:
"If this continues like this, I will tolerate everything, neither attack nor fight back. Let's just let the Prince of Xunyang ride on our Wei family's head. Okay, it's good to recognize our ancestors. We're all just waiting for our heads to fall off."
"Third Young Master is joking."
Wang Lengran seemed to have thought of something and asked cautiously:
"Third Young Master, could it be that your bringing Princess Anhui here all the way was an arrangement by His Highness Prince Liang? Is this... could it be the third thing you did when you came to Jiangzhou..."
Wang Lengran immediately shut up because Wei Shaoqi cast a cold look.
"There are some things you shouldn't ask, so don't ask."
Wang Lengran was as silent as a cicada.
After a while, Wei Shaoqi took a long breath and closed his eyes to rest.
At a certain moment, I didn't know what came to mind, and I gritted my teeth and spat:
"How could there be such a shameless person among Taizong's descendants? It's really unlucky!"
