『…… We deliberately neglected him, but he was not impatient or impatient, and he could put down his shelf and take the initiative to apologize, which deserved to be the most virtuous one among the sons of the country......

After listening to the description of the little official in front of him, Zhu Jin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, pondered alone in the class room.

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, Zhu Jin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, did not mean revenge, after all, he had never met that Wei Gongzi Yu, so there was no grudge at all.

It's just that a while ago, the Ministry of Rites sent people to contact Wei Yu three times and twice, suggesting that Wei Yu was not going to release rumors and criticize the Wei court, but Wei Yu still went his own way, which made the officials of the Ministry of Rites realize that this is a very stubborn Wei Gongzi.

Therefore, after Wei Yu arrived in Daliang this time, Zhu Jin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, thought about giving Wei Yu a dismount and extinguishing the latter's prestige, at least let Wei Yu understand: Don't look at you as the son of Wei Guo, but the Daliang court still has a way to concoct you.

Just as Zhu Jin was thinking about it, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped into the class room and asked, "Zhu Shilang, have you ever sent someone to settle Wei Gongziyu and his party?" ”

"Not yet." Zhu Jin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head and told Du You about the conflict between a small official in the Fangcai Mansion and Wei Yu's guards, only to hear Du You frown slightly, and said in confusion: "Strange, as you said, this Wei Yu doesn't look like an arrogant person......

In this regard, Zhu Jin, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also felt a little puzzled.

After all, the day before, when the Ministry of Rites frequently dispatched to contact Wei Yu, Wei Yu behaved quite strong and stubborn, and went his own way, so Zhu Jin planned to give Wei Yu a dismissal, but Wei Yu's performance in the Ministry of Rites was not like that at all.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jin said: "Maybe it was because King Wei ordered him to come to Daliang as a proton, which made that Wei Gongzi a little more restrained." ”

"Hmm......" Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's leave it at that." …… By the way, it's noon, it's almost overdone, don't go overboard. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jin's heart moved slightly, and he said tentatively: "Lord Shangshu, could it be that His Royal Highness King Su has sent someone here." ”

"Not really." Du You shook his head, then stroked his beard and said, "But you must know that yesterday, His Royal Highness King Su personally went out of the city to greet Wei Yu, and invited him to the mansion for a night. …… Although His Royal Highness King Su has not sent anyone to invite him so far, you and I should understand what His Highness means. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Zhu Jin arched his hand, and said with a straight face: "The lower official will immediately send someone to settle Wei Yu." ”

In his opinion, the meaning of King Su Zhao Run is already very straightforward: Your Ministry of Rites wants to extinguish Wei Yu's prestige, I will not interfere, but I hope you will not go too far, I still attach more importance to this pro-share.

Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, nodded and left.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin summoned a Lang official and instructed him: "Li Langguan, I ordered you Zhang Luo's mansion a few days ago, can you arrange it properly?" ”

This Lang official is called Li Xing, and when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Back to Lord Lang, the lower official has arranged it properly and kept it...... Hehe. ”

Zhu Jin nodded, and then ordered: "It's just right, I won't be bad for others, you go to settle down that Wei Yu, and if Wei Yu has any needs in the future, you will report to me directly." ”

"Yes." Li Xing arched his hand and said.

After a while, this Lang official named Li Xing came to the living room where Wei Yu and his party were, and said with a smile: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, in the past two days, Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang have been really busy, and they have neglected Wei Yu's son, and they really can't go." …… The subordinate Li Xing, under the order of Lord Zhu, the left attendant, was responsible for settling Wei Yu's son. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yu's guard snorted coldly and didn't appreciate it.

But Wei Yu said casually: "It's okay, it's naturally a matter of state." ”

Li Xing glanced at Wei Yu unexpectedly, and he also felt a little puzzled, the polite prince of Wei Guo in front of him did not look like a person who would do anything to contradict the Ministry of Rites and criticize the Great Liang Imperial Court.

However, it was not his turn to think about these matters, he just had to complete the orders from above.

A moment later, Li Xing took Wei Yu and his party in a carriage to the Proton Mansion where the latter was settled.

As soon as he got out of the carriage and saw the mansion in front of him, Wei Yu frowned unconsciously.

Because the mansion in front of him is too old, as if it is in disrepair, just looking at the door of the mansion, the patent leather is peeling and not mentioned for the time being, even the rivets are missing a few, if it weren't for the three words "Proton Mansion" clearly engraved on the plaque, Wei Yu was very suspicious that this Li Xing was in the wrong place.

I don't know if I noticed Wei Yu's frowning behavior, so Li Xing said apologetically: "Young Master Wei Yu, I'm really sorry, you know, my Liang hasn't received protons from other countries for many years, so this ......"

Wei Yu nodded, accepting this reasonable explanation.

However, in the bottom of his heart, he secretly sneered: Even if Daliang's Proton Mansion has been in disrepair for many years, with the energy of the Wei Imperial Court, is it really so difficult to find a suitable mansion in Daliang temporarily?

It's just a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him.

"It's okay, I'm already satisfied with this mansion." Wei Yu said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and then said to Wei Yu: "By the way, if Wei Yu's son needs anything in the future, he can order someone to contact the lower officials." …… It's not too early, and the officials will leave first. ”

With that, Li Xing got on his horse and left.

Seeing this official of the Ministry of Rites disappear at the end of the street, Wei Yu shook his head as if mocking and self-deprecating, walked up the steps, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the mansion, and walked in.

To his surprise, this mansion was very large and deep, which was also in line with being a "proton mansion"; As he expected, the mansion was very cluttered, and although there were obvious marks, as if someone had cleaned it in advance, the person who cleaned it might have scribbled a few times with a broom at best.

When I came to the main house, the main house was also dilapidated, with broken stones and bricks everywhere, and it looked like an old house that had been uninhabited all year round.

"What the fuck can live in this place?" Wei Yu's bodyguard, Meng Chong, scolded angrily: "I said how can that turtle son run so fast, if he is still in front of him at this time, I have to punch out his ......teeth."

Hearing this, the rest of Wei Yu's guards also looked very ugly after seeing the dilapidated house.

In their opinion, it is better to live in such a ghost place than to live in an inn in the city, at least the inn in the city is not so dirty.

After calming down, Meng Chong frowned and said, "Childe, this is clearly someone deliberately making things difficult for us, otherwise we will live back to Suwangfu, right?" ”

Before leaving, Zhao Hongrun told Wei Yu: If you encounter any inconvenience, you might as well talk to him.

Meng Chong listened to this.

After all, when Zhao Hongrun said that at that time, Meng Chong was beside him, with a grand fist, without the slightest politeness and hypocrisy, which made Meng Chong have a good impression of that Wei Gongzirun.

But after hearing Meng Chong's words, Wei Yu shook his head.

It is undeniable that seeking the refuge of that cousin can indeed prevent him from being troubled, but this is not a cure for the symptoms, and besides, is he going to be a proton for the rest of his life?

Without trying to eliminate the prejudice against him in the Great Liang court, he would not be able to return to defend the country.

What's more, in fact, the Ministry of Rites' difficulties against him are exactly what he wants—if there is no trouble from the Ministry of Rites, how can he "change his mind"?

Of course, this is not yet the time to "change your mind".

Thinking of this, Wei Yu said with a smile: "Although this house is a little old, it can also shelter from the wind and rain. ”

After listening to Wei Yu's words, his wife Wei Chen, as well as the guards Meng Chong, had no choice but to nod.

At the same time, in the alley opposite this "Proton Mansion", Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Gao Kuo crossed his arms and looked at the dilapidated mansion in the distance with a frown.

Beside him, there were several young men dressed like local rangers in the Great Beam.

"That mansion, was it the Proton Mansion?" Gao Kuo asked.

Among the local rangers, one of them said respectfully: "Back to Master Gao, this was originally the mansion of a rich man named Liu Xin in the city. …… Liu Xin climbed to the prince back then, looked for someone to borrow money everywhere, scraped together some money, and recruited some villagers to defect to the Northern First Army, and later the Northern First Army had an accident, the prince also fell, Liu Xin had no return, so he had to sell the house, and later it was said that the Qi family moved to Shangdang. …… The little one doesn't know how it became a proton house. ”

Gao Kuo nodded thoughtfully, and after half a ring, he took out a money bag from his bosom, threw it into the ranger's hand, and said, "Take a few brothers to the restaurant for a good meal." ”

"Thank you for the reward." The rangers smiled.

These rangers, who have nothing to do on weekdays, are most willing to send for the master in front of them, after all, this master is not only hard in the background, but also has a generous reward.

"By the way, send someone to keep an eye on this mansion for me, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble. …… You know where it is. ”

"Yes, yes." Several rangers nodded their heads.

After giving the order, Gao Kuo took a deep look at the proton mansion and left without looking back.

After returning to King Su's Mansion, Gao Kuo told Zhao Hongrun about this in the study, and Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard it.

After all, according to Gao Kuo's report, the so-called Proton Mansion is far inferior to the post house in the city, which clearly shows that the Ministry of Rites is deliberately making things difficult for Wei Yu.

But in this matter, he really can't interfere.

Although he knows the ins and outs of the whole thing, and he is also a cousin with Wei Yu, he can only stand on the side of the court in this matter.

To put it mildly, if Wei Yu always refuses to give in, then even Zhao Hongrun can only acquiesce to the imperial court to imply that Wei Wang Fei will change the crown prince, because this is related to the relationship between Wei and Wei in the future.

"Let's leave it at that."

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun decided to wait and see for a while.

In July, Zhao Hongrun secretly paid attention to the Proton Mansion and the war on the Song County side.

In general, the private armies of the domestic nobles made relatively smooth progress, mainly intimidating and supplemented by fighting, and gradually occupied several cities in Song County.

But then again, these victories were all sham until Song Yun's Northern Army launched a counterattack.

Whether the attack on Song County is successful or not, the most fundamental thing is to see whether Song Yun's Bei Bo army can be defeated.

To be honest, Zhao Hongrun is not very optimistic about the private army of those nobles.
