Chapter 766 Wei Qing’s Plan
The Du family mother and daughter stayed at the Wu family for a while, then said goodbye and left, and Du Wei naturally followed them.
Wei Ziyi sent them to the door, his eyes always on Du Wei. As he watched her get into the carriage, his handsome face was filled with loss and reluctance.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a bright little face from inside. She smiled at Wei Ziyi and waved.
Wei Ziyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he waved goodbye to her.
Wei Ziyi's eyes did not move away until the carriage drove away.
"A son has grown up and cannot be kept at home." Wei Qing's voice sounded faintly. He felt that the son he had raised was eager to run away with someone.
Wei Ziyi came back to his senses and felt embarrassed by his father's teasing. He glanced at Tang Li, asking her for help.
Tang Li stood beside Wei Qing, and said in the same deep voice as Wei Qing: "Stay or leave, and we'll become enemies."
Wei Ziyi's eyes suddenly widened and his face turned even redder.
Mom actually helped Dad tease him!
Wei Qing was obviously very happy about Tang Li's support, and was particularly proud of it. If he had a tail, it would have been raised to the sky.
Wei Qing hugged Tang Li and said, "Son, this is my wife. She will help me. If you need help, go find your wife."
Wei Ziyi was speechless.
"Are you waiting for us?"
Just then, a voice sounded outside the door.
Two young men in Hanlin Academy official uniforms were standing at the door. They were Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
The two are already seventeen years old this year, and their height has grown a lot. If measured in modern units, they are almost 1.8 meters tall.
One has sharp eyebrows and eyes, the other is as gentle as jade, both have extraordinary looks and temperament.
Wei Ziang had just said that. He was a little flattered. His parents and brother were actually waiting for them to come home?!
"No, you're overthinking it. We're sending your brother's wife off." Wei Qing ruthlessly punctured their fantasy.
Wei Ziang was not too disappointed, but was attracted by the word "sister-in-law".
They actually have a sister-in-law? !
The two of them are now the top talents in the Hanlin Academy. Many things fall on them and they are so busy all day long that they actually missed such a big event!
"Zi Yi has a wife?" Wei Ziang was startled and not at all as calm as he was when he was in the Hanlin Academy.
"Brother, no, I just like a girl..." Being stared at by two pairs of burning eyes of Wei Ziang and Xu Jue, Wei Ziyi blushed redly. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover his face.
Xu Jue patted Wei Ziyi on the shoulder: "Ziyi has grown up."
Wei Qing looked at Xu Jue and Wei Ziang: "As brothers, you two should also work hard."
Now it was Wei Ziang's turn to blush. He was completely focused on his official duties and had never thought about his children's love affairs. He was speechless.
"We're not in a hurry yet." Xu Jue calmed down a lot.
Although the court is much more stable now, it still lacks talent, especially the cabinet...
Since the death of Prime Minister Duan, the cabinet has had no successor and is now ineffective.
His Majesty tried several times to have Xu Jue and Wei Ziang join the cabinet, but was stopped by Wei Qing each time.
"The two boys are still young, and it is difficult for them to take on such a big responsibility."
This is what Wei Qing said.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang also understood the reason. Even if it was His Majesty's intention, if the two of them entered the cabinet, it would also attract rumors.
The two are too young and lack experience. If they enter the cabinet like this, it will be said that they rely on the relationship with the regent.
This will put the Wei family in a very dangerous position.
Wei Qing wanted them to be famous officials, not powerful officials.
At the same time, they have too little experience and their abilities are indeed insufficient and need to be honed.
The sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
They still need to go through more difficulties before they can grow.
Both of them are working towards this goal and really have no intention of getting married.
The family joked for a few words and then went in.
Wei Ziang asked a few gossipy questions about his sister-in-law.
"So it's Wei Yu. I've read the storybooks she wrote." Wei Ziang said, "She's a very talented person."
Wei Ziyi was particularly happy when he heard Wei Ziang praising her: "Yes, Weiyu is very talented and is no less talented than men."
The two brothers gathered together to talk.
Tangli couldn't help but think of when they were little, Erbao also followed Dabao like a tail.
Late at night.
Tang Li and Wei Qing talked about their children.
"Ziyi's eyes lit up when he saw Du Wei. I think this matter will most likely be successful. After a while, Ziyi's parents will come to the capital, and we will talk to them about this matter." Tang Li said.
Ziyi's parents, the Fang family, mainly run their business in Qinzhou City, so they travel between Beijing and Qinzhou City. They happened to be in Qinzhou City at this time.
Wei Qing nodded.
"Wife, I want to send Zi'ang and Xu Jue to serve as officials outside the capital for a period of time." Wei Qing said, "They traveled with Du Qingyu for a period of time before, but they were still young and didn't have a deep understanding. After passing the imperial examinations, they directly entered the Hanlin Academy and never left the capital. I want them to go to places outside the capital to see and experience the suffering of the people." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing actually has his own plans.
Even though Zhao Jingxuan trusted him very much, he did not want to give people the opportunity to sow discord, and he would not let the three members of the Wei family, father and son, hold high positions at the same time.
He is now the regent and is involved in many decision-making processes. When the time is right, he will withdraw.
Once he withdraws, it will be the best time for Xu Jue and Wei Ziang to join the cabinet.
Wei Qing set the time limit for this opportunity at one year.
Tang Li knows Wei Qing best and is also aware of his plans.
Wei Qing had far-reaching plans for the two children, so she naturally supported him.
"My dear, whatever you want to do, just do it."
"I might not be able to see Xu Jue and Zi'ang for a year."
Although Tangli was reluctant, sometimes he had to let go.
“This is also for their own good.”
This is how the matter was settled.
"Husband, I miss Sanbao so much." Tang Li leaned on Wei Qing's shoulder, looking at the moon outside the window, and muttered.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since I separated from Sanbao. I don’t know how things are going in the Witch Clan, whether I am happy as a saint, and whether I have encountered any unhappy things.
"Wait another year, and then we'll go find Sanbao." Wei Qing said.
Tangli nodded.
I really regret not drawing more pictures of that girl when she was alive, so that I could take them out and look at them when I miss her.
In the following period, the Dali Temple thoroughly investigated the case of Prince Jing, which caused a great sensation in the capital.
He imprisoned innocent girls and abused them in various ways. Some girls were even tortured to death by King Jing. Each and every one of these incidents was simply horrifying.
When this matter reached the emperor's ears, he was furious and ordered severe punishment.
King Jing was directly imprisoned in the dungeon. At the beginning, he was alone in a cell. Although the three meals a day were simple, they were barely edible.
As the case progressed, the food delivered to them became spoiled and inedible.
"I am the prince, King Jing, you can't treat me like this!" King Jing was a little emotionally broken.
The yamen runners acted as if they didn't hear anything.
King Jing was so hungry that he could only eat the rotten food.
Because it was too humid, King Jing felt sore in his back and waist and had difficulty swallowing food, so every day felt like a year.
He even began to miss the days of guarding the imperial mausoleum!
However, his misery had just begun...
