Wei Xu and his son returned to the Wei family. The news had already spread throughout the capital, and the person in the palace must have also received the news.

Wei Xu got up before daybreak.

Mrs. Wei wanted to help him change his clothes, but was stopped by Wei Xu.

He quickly put on his clothes and said, "It's still early. You can sleep for a while. I'll take Chen'er and the others to the palace."

Madam Wei propped herself up on her elbows and asked, "Coming to the palace so soon?"

Wei Xu fastened his belt and said, "I have an official position to hold. When I return to the court, I must go to see the emperor."

Mrs. Wei was still very worried.

Having lost and recovered something makes people cautious and afraid to lose it again.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Wei Xu pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it, then turned and left the room.

Nanny Li was already waiting outside the courtyard: "The old lady asked me to call Master over for breakfast."

Wei Xu went to the courtyard of Old Lady Wei.

Soon, the three sons arrived.

The father and son bowed to Lady Wei.

Old Lady Wei waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, sit down and eat quickly."

The Wei family is not a family that lives a life of luxury. When their daughters-in-law, grandsons-in-law and children are around, the dishes will be more sumptuous. Old Lady Wei herself is very frugal.

On the table were millet porridge, a few plates of large meat buns, and a few dishes of pickles.

Wei Xu and his sons used to eat very simply in the military camp and were not picky at all.

Several people started eating with big mouthfuls, except Wei Qing.

He was born to eat like a scholar.

Old Lady Wei asked, "Have you thought about what to say when you enter the palace today?"

Wei Xu said, "I've thought about it."

Old Lady Wei looked at her son and asked, "Are you sure you won't keep this a secret for a while longer?"

Wei Xu said firmly: "No need, the Wei family will not suffer such humiliation."

Old Lady Wei snorted: "It's still the same as before."

The most arrogant member of the Wei family was Wei Xu.

Wu Anjun was more cautious.

It is easy to tell who the bold ones followed.

After breakfast, the father and his two sons rode out of the Wei family's house.

Wei Ting also rushed over from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

Wei Xu asked about the situation of Su Cheng and Su Ergou, and Wei Ting said everything was fine.

Wei Xu wanted to visit his in-laws directly, but if he went now, Emperor Jingxuan would probably vent his anger on Su Cheng.

Wei Xu asked again: "Are Master Cheng and Nalan Yun used to living here?"

Nalan Yun was the name Zong Zhenghui borrowed from Ling Yun, and Ling Yun had no objection and let him use it as he pleased.

Wei Ting said, "It's fine."

The red envelopes are numerous and big.

Wei Xu didn't know that his son had lost his soul for the gold. When he heard that everyone was fine, he could feel at ease to enter the palace and deal with Emperor Jingxuan.

Emperor Jingxuan was quite smart in his early years and knew the importance of the Wei family in fighting against Northern Yan.

The Wei family was framed in the incident of destroying the Northern Pass, but Emperor Jingxuan had no hand in it.

However, the Wei family was once subordinates of King Nanyang, and he has always had a thorn in his heart.

He wants to use the Wei family, but also wants to guard against them.

After the Leng family stabbed the Wei family in the back, Emperor Jingxuan not only did not punish the Leng family, but instead allowed the Leng family to divide up the Wei family's military forces and replace the Wei family's official positions.

Now that Wei Xu and his sons have returned with great fanfare, Emperor Jingxuan is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating again.

What’s even worse is that in the past, the Qin family and the Su family had to deal with the Wei family. Now that the Qin and Wei families have formed an alliance, Qin Canglan is no longer obedient.

Given Emperor Jingxuan's suspicious nature, he will definitely find a way to weaken the Wei family.

Many officials had also heard about the return of Wei Xu and his son. They were still doubting what was happening, but then they saw it with their own eyes.

The officials were stunned.

Su Yuan saw Wei Xu from afar and bowed to him.

Wei Xu also bowed in return.

There were so many people around that the two of them didn't say anything and went into the Golden Palace separately.

Emperor Jingxuan came to the morning court and met the father and son of the Wei family whom he had not seen for several years.

Wei Ting saw it often, and he only took a glance before his eyes fell on Wei Xu.

Emperor Jingxuan has been in poor health in recent years. He has been taking medicinal pills recently, and his complexion and energy have recovered a lot. He also feels several years younger.

Wei Xu was a few years older than Emperor Jingxuan, but he was tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, like a towering and vigorous tree, full of vitality and strength.

It can withstand thunder and can withstand wind and rain.

In comparison, Emperor Jingxuan seemed a little weak.

Wei Xu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Several sons also bowed.

The powerful voice echoed in the Golden Palace, and Emperor Jingxuan finally came back to his senses.

Logically, he should have shown deep affection for his subject, but Wei Xu's youth and strength hurt his eyes.

He asked calmly, "Wei Xu, where have you been these years?"

Wei Xu said, "To reply to your Majesty, I was framed and taken away by the people from the Southern Border Saint Maiden Palace. I was finally able to escape not long ago."

He did not shy away from mentioning his imprisonment.

A truly strong person dares to face his own setbacks.

A general came out holding a tablet in his hand, filled with righteous indignation: "How dare Nanjiang kidnap our Great Zhou's generals! Your Majesty! I think we should lead our troops south to attack Nanjiang!"

Another general also stood up: "I second the motion!"

They were unaware of the power of Southern Xinjiang and still thought of it as the small barbaric tribe that was plagued by frequent internal strife.

Wei Xu did not speak for Nanjiang, he remained silent.

Because he knew that Emperor Jingxuan would never go to war with Southern Xinjiang.

The fact that Qin Canglan could not be recalled was already enough of a headache for Emperor Jingxuan. If a second one came, Emperor Jingxuan’s throne would be in jeopardy.

Emperor Jingxuan said: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I would also like to ask Minister Wei to come to the Dali Temple later to cooperate with the investigation."

Wei Xu said: "I obey your order."

The two kings of Southern Xinjiang changed, and the envoys of Great Zhou were present throughout the process. There was no sign of Wei Xu's intervention, so Emperor Jingxuan could not accuse Wei Xu of colluding with Southern Xinjiang.

His eyes fell on Wei Xu's sons.

"Wei Chen, Wei Qing, Wei Yan, you all died on the battlefield, and even your bodies were brought back by Wei Ting. What on earth is going on?"

Gui Bu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it was our subordinates who wore our armor to lead us away from the pursuers. When Xiao Qi arrived at the mass grave, the corpses were no longer recognizable, and only our armor was left. Xiao Qi mistakenly thought that we were all killed in the battle."

Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Where did you go after you escaped? Why didn't you return to the capital?"

Gui Bu said: "It's not that we don't want to go back, but we were all poisoned by the Saint's Palace and lost our memories. We don't even remember who we are. We brothers were separated and only slowly recovered our memories not long ago."

Emperor Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Lost, where did they go?"

Gui Bu said calmly, "I went to the Western Jin Dynasty to be a soldier, and my second and sixth brothers lived in exile in the southern border."

Emperor Jingxuan slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and said, "You're lying! Wei Qing clearly went to the Western Jin Dynasty and became the first counselor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhuge Qing!"

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were shocked.

Zhuge Qing, the number one strategist, is actually Wei Qing? !

Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? According to the law, you should be executed!"

Babies, do you still have monthly tickets?
