When Wei Ji chose the right time to resign and leave Beijing, it was not only because he was old and not as energetic as before, but also because some of the elders from the third and fourth houses had been in office for more than ten years.
Because of the imperial system (people of the same clan cannot hold important positions at the same time and cannot be in a superior-subordinate relationship), he has never been able to get promoted.
Wei Ji chose to retreat at the right time and support the third and fourth houses to take the throne, also for the sake of the overall situation.
Being an official requires family support, and the family's resources will be tilted towards a small number of people. Family interests are above everything else. As long as you are valuable, the family will do its best to support you.

Wei Lang followed the two of them at first, but when he saw that his sister was talking to Chang Ying and ignored him, he went to play with the guards by himself.
Chang Ying took Wei Xiyin for a walk, and they walked all the way to a staircase.
Wei Xiyin looked up and saw that above the stairs was the ten-meter-high wall of the dock. There was a lookout tower on the wall from which she could observe the situation outside.
She went up the stairs without thinking, and Chang Ying followed quickly.
It took a lot of effort to climb up.
The scene before her made Wei Xiyin's pupils shrink.
Outside the wall is a five-meter-wide moat. Looking around, the river and the fields outside are densely packed with zombies.
