"so……"
Ji Su looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "I thought that Brother Wei had some hidden intention in suddenly mentioning Miss Hua Chao, and that he wanted to make a great contribution to the Wei family and get the beauty at the same time. It turns out that I was worrying too much!"
Wei Teng was stunned for a moment: "What great achievement? What do you mean by killing two birds with one stone?"
Ji Su said as a matter of course: "One of the benefits is, of course, marrying Miss Hua Chao. The other benefit is the three thousand followers under Prime Minister Luo. I'm sure you've seen today that Prime Minister Luo has aged a lot. I'm afraid that in a few years... who do you think will get those three thousand followers after Prime Minister Luo is buried?"
"nonsense!"
Wei Teng cursed, "Of course they belong to our Wei family! His two legitimate sons are both members of our Wei family. If these three thousand guests don't belong to the Wei family, who will they belong to?"
Although he was somewhat uneducated, he still understood some of the court situation through what he saw and heard.
In Dali, the ones with the most retainers were of course Luo Yan and Pingling Jun, both of whom claimed to have three thousand retainers.
But in fact, the retainers under Pingling Jun are not comparable to those under Luo Yan.
Although Pingling Jun has many capable people under his command, most of them are good at bragging.
However, many of Luo Yan's subordinates have the ability to discuss politics. They are equivalent to Luo Yan's think tank. Although only a few of them can directly become officials, many opinions can be put into practice in the court through Luo Yan.
These three thousand retainers were the ones that both the Wei and Han families, as well as the Zhao clan, were very envious of.
Ji Su hesitated as if he had gone through a great psychological struggle before he spoke with difficulty: "Brother Wei, please don't be angry when I say something!"
"you say!"
Wei Teng was a little impatient.
Ji Su asked: "Do you really think that Luo Xiang is from your Wei family?"
Wei Teng said irritably: "What else?"
"I have a few questions for Brother Wei!"
"You ask!"
"If Luo Xiang is from the Wei family, why do His Majesty and the Crown Prince all rely so much on Luo Xiang when they are in power?"
"this……"
"If Luo Xiang is from the Wei family, why did he send his two legitimate sons to Kyoto, but found a teacher for his illegitimate son Luo Ming? I heard that Luo Ming took up a place as an elite student of the Confucian school at this Hundred Schools of Thought event."
"this……"
"If Luo Xiang is from the Wei family, why did he find a woman who looks exactly like his first wife as his second wife? And he didn't take a concubine, he married a wife in a proper way! At the literary gathering today, Ying Wuji made a speech in public, 'A tree of pear blossoms overshadows a crabapple tree', and Luo Xiang just pretended not to care and let the matter go. Why is that?"
"this……"
Wei Teng felt his forehead getting hot, as if his brain couldn't handle such a complicated problem. But after listening to the question asked by Ji Su, he now had only one thought in his mind: these retainers of Luo Yan might really be taken over by the Zhao clan.
Wouldn’t that be a big trouble?
Ji Su smiled and said, "But if Brother Wei marries Miss Hua Chao, it will be different! Miss Hua Chao is Luo Yan's favorite daughter and Luo Ming's respected elder sister. In addition, Luo Yan is the son-in-law of the Wei family..."
Wei Teng slapped his forehead and said, "Then the three thousand guests will belong to me. I am the great contributor to the Wei family!"
Ji Su quickly said: "Brother Wei is a great talent!"
Wei Teng couldn't help but grin, but quickly retracted his smile and nodded coldly: "Actually, I just figured this out. I didn't say it just to test you!"
Ji Su: "Ah, yes, yes..."
He laughed secretly in his heart, perhaps Ying Wuji was right.
Two heads.
There can only be one big one.
Wei Teng's heart was burning, but he still frowned: "It's just... Hua Chao is a woman with high standards. How can I make him fall in love with her?"
"Why bother to make her fall in love with you? It's already been done!"
"But I heard she has a hot temper..."
"There are no such things as heroic women in this world. The reason they are heroic is simply because they have never tasted the taste of a man."
"That's a wonderful thing to say!"
Wei Teng couldn't help but clap his hands, as if he had heard the wise words of the world.
Although he hadn't made up his mind, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly as his thoughts were in a mess.
Ji Su was getting a little anxious waiting, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Wei, do you need help?"
Wei Teng sneered: "I didn't say I would do this. Besides, this is my Wei family's family affair. How can you interfere? I won't say any more. Let's go to bed first!"
