Wei Changqing left, and his smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. What happened to Wen Tiren that he didn't come even though he clearly sent him a message? He just didn't come, and he didn't even know how to bring him a letter.
It was true that he had captured his grandson, and he planned to mediate between the two parties on this matter today. He was so disrespectful. Could it be that, as Wei Changqing said, it was the emperor who had promised something to him that made him anxious to distance himself from the relationship.
King Hui narrowed his eyes. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unkind.
Wei Changqing rushed back to the mansion in a hurry. There was a lot of singing and dancing in the Wei Mansion, and it was obvious that a banquet was going to be held. Wei Changqing picked up the exquisite white porcelain cup on the table, with a cold smile on his lips: "Wen Shangshu, what happened today?
The opera is all sung for you alone, so you have to enjoy it!"
When Wen Tiren arrived at Wei Mansion, Wei Dezao and his son welcomed him in politely. As soon as he entered the middle hall, Wen Tiren looked around anxiously. He didn't even see the shadow of King Hui! What's going on...
Wei Changqing saw what he was thinking and asked him to sit down politely: "Master Wen, don't worry, sit down and wait for a while. Maybe we will be reunited with your good grandson soon."
Wen Tiren frowned: What did he mean? Did he make an appointment with King Hui behind his back? Why did he say that? He sat down anxiously, staring closely at the other person's movements, wanting to
See something from it.
Wei Changqing, however, was as before, just like every time he came, pouring him wine and introducing various dishes and pastries to him with a smile on his face.
In the end, Wen Tiren couldn't hold back his anger: "Mr. Wei, when exactly will the distinguished guests you mentioned arrive?" Wei Dezao looked enigmatic, "As for the distinguished guests, they will naturally arrive later. Maybe they are troubled by something.
Mr. Wen should be more patient. It is not good to be so impatient."
Wen Tiren had scolded him many times in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be amiable: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. It's rare for us to get together once, and of course we have to have a few drinks."
Wei Changqing suddenly laughed: "I want to have a few drinks. Thank you Mr. Wen for supporting the Wei family over the years."
“It’s all colleagues who don’t need to say these kind words to the point where they appear to be outsiders.”
"If you don't tell secret words, Mr. Wen should also know why you are invited this time."
"Oh? I really don't know very well. Please let Mr. Wei know a few things."
Wei Changqing slowly picked up the wine glass and slowly rotated it in his hand. He seemed to be carefully observing the patterns on the wall of the glass: "My Wei family has never offended Mr. Wen, but I don't know why you are making things difficult for me?"
"What did Mr. Wei say?"
"Let's not mention this matter for now. Anyway, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty in the future, and we will work together a lot. Please bear with me when the time comes."
Wen Tiren was so proud that he thought that His Highness Prince Hui valued this boy so much that he wanted to please him in the end.
Wei Changqing continued to ask casually: "I wonder how many benefits King Hui has promised you, sir?"
Wen Tiren made an angry expression: "What do you mean by that? I tell you that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? Am I talking nonsense? Then I have misunderstood Mr. Wen."
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and I will never have any second thoughts. Heaven and earth can learn from this."
"Do you dare, Mr. Wen, to make an oath here? For example, if you betray His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty, you will be quartered and your body will be dismembered. Do you dare?"
Wen Tiren's face turned ugly: "My loyalty to Your Majesty is naturally seen by everyone in the world, and so is Your Majesty. How can it be reflected in these few words?"
"After all, I still don't dare. Why do you need to find so many high-sounding excuses? If you are really loyal to His Majesty, why do you have to run to that villa again and again?"
"If we talk about this, I'm afraid Mr. Wei will make as much concessions as me. Do you dare to swear here?"
Wei Changqing chuckled: "Why don't you dare? I, Wei Changqing, would like to swear here that I will never be disloyal to His Majesty. If I violate this oath, I will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords and will not die a good death. Mr. Wen, do you hear me clearly?
?”
Wen Tiren was shocked: he had not expected that the other party would actually swear a poisonous oath.
Wei Dezao was also shocked. He stared blankly at his son, grinning from ear to ear.
Wei Changqing swore a poisonous oath without changing his expression, and for a moment he laughed out loud: "Mr. Wen, do you really believe this kind of thing that is just a child's talk?"
Wen Tiren couldn't figure out what he meant, and couldn't answer his question. He just said perfunctorily: "Young Master Wei is a hero in his youth, and his magnanimity makes the old man admire him. I think if His Majesty the Emperor listened to what you said,
I will also be very pleased. But I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to invite His Highness Prince Hui to the mansion like this.”
Wei Changqing finished his glass of wine and then said calmly: "But I don't know which Emperor you are talking about."
"Is there any other emperor in the Ming Dynasty? I will never do anything that betrays my promise and betrays my promise." The person in question felt that Wei Changqing was just trying to trick him. He must not reveal anything before meeting King Hui.
Unfavorable news for yourself.
Wei Changqing sighed: "It turns out that your majesty is really so affectionate and loyal to your majesty. But have you noticed that there is an extra screen here today? Do you think my screen is still acceptable? The distinguished guest you are waiting for has been waiting here for a long time.
He listened to every word, Mr. Wen, about your loyalty to His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty."
Wen Tiren was already breaking out in a cold sweat. It turned out that this was his real purpose. He wanted to belittle himself in front of His Highness King Hui in order to elevate himself, so he kept tempting himself to reveal his loyalty to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. He stared straight at it.
Screen, licked her pink lips and spoke with difficulty: "What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very clear. The person you are waiting for is behind the screen. If Mr. Wen has anything to say, you might as well explain it to him yourself."
Wen Tiren rushed to the screen in a hurry: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of the little thief of the Wei family. I absolutely support you...Your Majesty! I...Long live my emperor."
Lin Chong stood up lazily: "Oh, Wen Aiqing, come back quickly. I didn't know that there was such a loyal minister like Mr. Wen beside me. I am really touched by your loyalty."
Wen Tiren could no longer say anything: "Your Majesty, veteran...I..."
"Okay, needless to say, I know everything. If I hadn't seen King Hui's proposal to execute Wen Ziming with my own eyes, I would have thought that there was some shady thing going on between you."
"What? King Hui! How could he?"
"Huh?" The smile on Lin Chong's face gradually disappeared. "How could he do anything? How could he break the agreement between you two? You must know that it was you who broke the agreement first, Mr. Wen."
