Li Xiandao: "Wei Xiang, please be calm and don't be impatient, of course I have to ask for your opinion on this matter, I just want Wei Xiang to say it first." โ€

This reason is very sufficient, Wei Yuanzhong has the oldest qualifications and the highest official position, can he not speak last?

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, then please ask Wei Xiang to speak first." โ€

Wei Juyuan looked at Zhu Qinming and said, "Toast the sacrificial wine, you just quoted the scriptures, it sounds very reasonable." However, if you don't know anything about this picture, you should ask for advice. โ€

"Wei Xiang, please speak!"

"Whoever sacrifices to heaven must use Sailang. The queen mother is the world. Could it be that she was allowed to show her face in front of nearly 10,000 men? What is this system? โ€

"yes, what kind of system is this?"

"I wish Qinming that you let the queen sacrifice to the sky, that is, to put the queen in injustice, it is really ill-intentioned!"

"If you don't solve the problem of Sailang, you can't let the queen sacrifice to the sky, haha!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

People didn't expect that Wei Juyuan would stand on their side and question Zhu Qinming, and they were overjoyed and accused Zhu Qinming one after another.

In the final analysis, Empress Wei's status is far from Wu Zetian's, and Li Xian's status is much inferior to Li Zhi's. When Wu Zetian sacrificed to the sky, no one dared to fart half a fart, and "Empress Wei" was going to sacrifice to the sky, so they had to talk about men and women.

However, Zhu Qinming was still fearless, and said: "Regarding the matter of Sailang, of course there is a way to do this sacrificial wine. โ€

"What's the method?"

"Don't use Zhailang, but use Zhainiang, so that you don't have to think about the queen's mother's appearance."

"Where did Zhai Niang come from?"

"Of course, it's the unmarried daughter of your Beijing officials."

However, after Sailang accompanied the sacrifice, he was to be conferred an official position according to the law. How can a woman be an official? โ€

"Write it down first, and when the woman marries, she will allow her husband's dismissal to be promoted to a higher rank." If the woman's husband does not have an official position, he can be directly awarded the seven rank of loose officials. โ€

"Okay, that's a good thing, I agreed."

Wei Juyuan and Zhu Qinming's singing and harmony made the whole plan completely clear.

And then the ministers, uh, most of them agreed.

There's no way to disagree, this is equivalent to Empress Wei making a deal with herself, in exchange for her son-in-law's official position at the cost of not objecting to her sacrifice to the sky. I have done this business, how can I oppose it?

Besides, if you oppose it yourself and mess up this matter, won't you offend your colleagues?

"......" The ministers looked at each other, and there was silence for a while.

Wei Yuanzhong rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Weichen, please behead Cui Geng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to thank the world!" โ€

"What? Me again? Cui Geng said: "Wei Xiang, I didn't jump into the well with your child, did I?" Why do you want to kill me again? โ€

"Uh...... The queen is dedicated, and it is unreasonable. As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, you can't correct it, don't you deserve to die? โ€

To put it bluntly, Wei Yuanzhong is still counting on the same time as he dealt with Zheng Pusi last time, and Cui Geng will be involved. Let him turn the tide.

However, last time, it was Zheng Pusi's wife Fifth Clan who took the initiative to provoke Cui Geng, and this time Empress Wei didn't do anything to Cui Geng, why did Cui Geng come out of this way?

He shook his head and said: "Xiang Wei's words are wrong, the queen should not be a subordinate, and there are erudite people who cite scriptures and classics to verify them." This official is shallow in his knowledge, how dare he put his beak? โ€

Wei Yuanzhong said angrily: "But you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, since you are in your position, how can you not seek politics?" With such a corpse vegetarian meal, why not resign from the official position? โ€

The clay figure still has three points of earthiness, Cui Geng stopped doing it, and said angrily: "Are you Wei Xiang or the prime minister of the court?" Since you think that the queen is unreasonable, you can't correct it, isn't it also a vegetarian meal? Why don't you ask for a decree to behead yourself? If it's not good, why don't you resign? โ€

"Hmph, resign from the office? The old man resigned, and you resigned too? โ€

"I ......"

Cui Geng was really stopped by Old Man Wei, and secretly thought, Wei Yuanzhong, Wei Yuanzhong, your enemy is Empress Wei, what are you fighting with me?

Well? There you have it, I see.

In historical records, Wei Yuanzhong saw that the government was dark, so he invited himself to return to his hometown to sweep the tombs and worship his ancestors, wanting to avoid this turmoil. Could it be that he saw that I couldn't stop Wei Hou Yaxian, so he was disheartened and took advantage of the situation to get out?

But, old man Wei, if you get out, get out, isn't it too kind to use me as a backer? How can I answer this?

When Cui Geng was in a dilemma, Wu Sansi saw that it was cheap.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Cui Geng at this court meeting, Cui Geng could not oppose Wei Hou Yaxian, and he did not dare to openly support it, the two ends were not people, and it was easy to attack.

It's good now, I haven't spoken yet, Wei Yuanzhong actually took the initiative to talk about it, and he just wanted to fall asleep and came to the pillow!

He knelt down from class and said, "Cui Geng's knowledge is not profound enough, and he is indeed not suitable for the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Weichen thought that His Majesty should transfer him to a new position in order to protect Cui Gengji. โ€

Li Xian frowned and said, "Then Cui Aiqing is not a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what should he do?" โ€

"For example, the middle book is under the Ping Zhang."

Zhongshu is the prime minister, and it is said that Cui Geng has been promoted. However, wait, Cui Geng has no position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what is the use of being a single prime minister?

You must know that other prime ministers all have part-time jobs, such as Wei Yuanzhong is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, Tang Xiu is also the general of the auxiliary state, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and Lian Wu Sansi is also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the three divisions of Kaifuyi.

Obviously, this is a rising light and a dark fall.

"This ......" Li Xian paused slightly.

Empress Wei couldn't wait to say: "This palace thinks this proposal is good. In the opinion of King Dejing, who can succeed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? โ€

"How's Wewin, the squire of the Ministry of Works?"

Wei Wen's talent is of course very ordinary, but he is Empress Wei's own uncle and brother, and in terms of relationship, he is much closer than Prime Minister Wei Juyuan.

Empress Wei looked at Li Xian and said, "The concubine thinks that Wei Wen can succeed the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what does Your Majesty think?" โ€

Li Xian said helplessly: "I'm right." โ€

Wei Yuanzhong said: "Weichen is old and frail, please beg for bones, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it!" โ€

"Not allowed!" Li Xian still had a lot of feelings for this loyal old courtier, and resolutely refused.

Wei Yuanzhong had no choice but to retreat and said: "Weichen has been away from home for many years and wants to return to his hometown to sweep the graves of his parents, please allow Your Majesty." โ€

This reason is very legitimate, Li Xiandao; "I'm right, Wei Aiqing has been away from home for many years, and she must have had a lot of entertainment after returning to her hometown. I will give you a thousand taels of silver to disperse the township party. In addition, Aiqing was given a brocade robe and four thousand cavalry officers to serve as retinues to be strong. โ€

This made Wei Yuanzhong return to his hometown, the brocade robe and the thousand cavalry officials all gave him face, and the silver thousand taels did not depend on the amount of money, but also played a similar role.

Wei Yuanzhong was moved for a while, and kowtowed again to thank him.

In the following days, Empress Wei was successful and satisfied.

Li Longji, as the king of Linzi, also returned to participate in the southern suburbs. Then, for some reason, he said that he was sick in Chang'an and no longer went to Luzhou.

Although Cui Geng is also the prime minister and the king of Fuyang, he has no real power, so he simply calls himself sick and is very idle.

On this day, he was sitting at home, and Song Genhai led two guests in and said, "My lord, look at it, who is here?" โ€

"Yuanbao, Susu, is it you?"

"Yes, it's the little brother." Wang Yuanbao and Yang Susu bowed down together and said, "See big brother!" โ€

"Hurry up, uh, sit down. Genhai, make two pots of good tea soup. โ€

"Yes."

The guests and hosts sat down, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Wang Yuanbao presented the gifts. Cui Geng will not save money for the future richest man in Chang'an, so he accepted it unceremoniously.

Then, he said: "You guys finally came to Chang'an, don't be in a hurry to go back." Anyway, this official has been very bored lately, so I'll take you on a good tour. In addition, you should not look for any inn, just stay in my house. โ€

"Big brother, don't worry about it." Wang Yuanbao said: "We already have a place to stay, so we live at my uncle's house." โ€

"Yang Chongyi?"

Wang Yuanbao said: "Exactly." To tell you the truth, if we didn't live in my uncle's house, he would probably turn against us. โ€

"Well, why is that?"
