Chapter 128: Heavenly Change (I)
The main house of the Wei Mansion
Liu carefully took off his coat and put it on his husband, with a meek smile on a well-maintained face.
"Husband, do you want to have breakfast here?" asked her husband softly as he got dressed.
Wei Yue replied casually, he didn't really care about where to have breakfast.
Merely...... Squinted at his wife Liu, who was standing beside him, although his appearance was well maintained, he was in his early forties, and he was really not as young and beautiful as a few concubines, and even the strength of his hands when he was serving him in clothes seemed too heavy in his opinion.
"It's good to wash up and let a few of them serve, as a lady, you must have a lady's style, don't do everything yourself. Seeing a few maids coming in with toiletries, Wei Yue said lightly.
Liu's hand paused, and he didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and said, "The concubine will go and order the stove to prepare breakfast." ”
As he replied casually, Wei Yue squinted his eyes and let the young maid serve him.
Liu didn't seem to be surprised by this, so he went out and called the maid and maid to go down to Zhang Luo, and after the order, she didn't go back to the room directly, but stood in the outer hall and continued to command the maid.
Although there is a young maid to serve in the inner room, Wei Yue also gives this wife face, even if he likes a beautiful maid, he will not mess around in his wife's courtyard.
Liu knew that it was because of several children, but even so, she was very satisfied.
It wasn't until Wei Yue came out of the room that he was dressed neatly and came out of the room, Liu Shifang smiled again, greeted him, breakfast was placed on the table, and after using some, Wei Yue left.
When he arrived at the palace, he saw that the palace was full of officials.
Wei Yue marched forward with his head held high, and there were two guards behind him, with long knives hanging from their waists, and they followed suit, although they arrived at the entrance of the hall, they still stayed outside, but they met the eyes of the warriors in the inner hall.
The monarch and the ministers went up the steps of the palace, and someone shouted loudly: "The emperor is seated, and all the officials are courteous!"
After speaking, the ministers knelt down, and Wei Yue was the first.
The emperor then ordered: "Give the Great Sima a seat." ”
At this time, the main hall was full of cigarette smoke, solemn and solemn, the people on the emperor's throne were still in the ninth place, ruling the world with hanging clothes, Wei Yue thanked him, sat down, and saw the ceremonial officials singing in class, and the hundred officials came forward to kneel and worship.
Wei Yue has the privilege of entering the court, going to the palace with his sword, and praising him.
Speaking of ancient rites, the ministers see that the king must tend, that is, walk quickly. If you don't enter the court, you don't need to walk quickly.
The ancients were not allowed to wear swords when they went to the temple, and they went to the temple with swords, that is, they wore shoes and swords and went straight into the hall.
When the ministers worship the king, the courtiers will roll call, and they do not need to go through this procedure if they are not named, and these three articles are a special courtesy.
At this time, sitting in the main hall, for some reason, he suddenly lost his usual pride, and only felt that his mood had deteriorated a lot, and this emotion made him feel very irritable.
Da noticed that he was in a bad mood, and the officials who participated in the court meeting were cautious.
As soon as the chorus finished speaking, a royal Shi Yueban suddenly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, and played: "Your Majesty, yesterday there was a big Sima's servant galloping on horseback, stepping on more than a dozen people in a row, and three people died. ”
At this time, everyone was shocked, although it was a domestic servant, but it still depends on the owner to beat the dog, this person's behavior is obviously aimed at Wei Yue.
The Emperor was silent.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was furious: "Above the main hall, what are you doing with such a trivial matter?
This imperial history kowtowed and said: "It's not just the people, among them there is also an official who has stepped on death, it is the eighth grade of Gongcao, although this matter is small, but the hundred officials of the court have their own dignity, and they were killed by cheap slaves, isn't it the following offense, the courtiers are responsible, just on the matter, not offside!"
Hearing this, Wei Yue was immediately furious.
In the past, Wei Yue still gave the emperor face in public, and he did not blindly suppress the civil officials who criticized him.
Most of the accusations are tolerated, and this is also to attract people's hearts.
But at this time, Wei Yue was furious and thought: "I have planted my wings for many years, but there are always some people loyal to Yan who come out, which is really hateful." ”
In a fit of rage, he stood up suddenly, saluted the emperor slightly, and then sneered and said, "Who are you who dare to say this?"
Under this drink, a guard suddenly stepped forward and responded: "Here!"
This suddenly shocked the entire imperial court, although Wei Yue held great power, but he usually kept the rules, why was he so angry now and openly ordered the forbidden army?
I only heard Wei Yue angrily: "Kill this cane!"
"No!" In the court, a forbidden army pounced and dragged this envoy down, and the place where he was killed was not far from the palace, and everyone in the silent hall heard a terrible shout, as well as a curse on Wei Yue's wolf ambition.
The hall was full of officials, no one dared to speak again, and the emperor, who had never seen these bloody scenes on weekdays, turned pale with fright and trembled all over.
After a few moments, the shouting grew lower and lower, and there was silence at last.
A guard stepped forward and said, "General, you have been killed with a cane!"
"Hmph!" Wei Yue's mood improved slightly, and he was holding back an evil fire, and quickly signaled the eunuch next to him to announce his retreat.
The eunuch standing on the side didn't even look at the emperor on the seat, and directly announced his withdrawal from the dynasty according to Wei Yue's instructions.
Without looking at the eyes of those officials looking at him, Wei Yue took the lead in striding out of the palace.
"General, this is new information from outside, please take a look. Back at the mansion, a henchman put the information collected some time ago in front of Wei Yue.
General Wei took the tea cup sent by his subordinates, which was his favorite tea on weekdays, and tasted it gently, the fragrance entered his throat, and his restless heart calmed down.
"These are?" his eyes swept over the ones in front of him, and Wei Yue couldn't hear the sound of good or bad emotions.
Knowing that the general's mood has been capricious these days, even his henchmen are dealing with it carefully.
Hearing his inquiry, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, General, these are picked out, involving changes in the state capitals, and I dare not detain them privately, and they will be ruled by the General!"
"That's right. Flipping through a few pieces of information casually, Wei Yue's whole person had a lazy taste: "It's just some useless information." These will have been known for a long time, so you should take them down...... Huh?"
The page turned by his fingers was quickly turned back by Wei Yue, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"This is ......" The information he is looking at now is information from Yizhou, not a secret: "Wang Hongyi is so bold that he has only been called Hou for half a year, and then he claims to be the Duke of Shu?"
It's not that I don't realize that the role of the Son of Heaven is getting smaller and smaller, the situation in the world has become increasingly turbulent, and the princes of the various feudal towns are becoming more and more blind, and Wang Hongyi of Yizhou is so blatant, but it is still rare.
Wei Yue frowned, staring at the information in front of him, his face was covered with a deep shadow, and suddenly, he felt that he had found the source of his unhappiness.
The authority of the imperial court is declining, even if he becomes the first minister, what will happen?
"Senior brother, I have received news that Wang Hongyi of Yizhou has proclaimed himself the Duke of Shu, and this matter is beneficial to us. In the mansion, Zhou Ji mentioned the news he had learned to his junior brother Xun Zhi, with a relaxed look on his face.
Xun Zhi's insight was not inferior to him, and he nodded and said: "This matter is indeed beneficial to us, with the temperament of a great general, this time, he will be able to make up his mind if he states the benefits." You will do this alone, and I will not go with you to the General's Palace. ”
"Senior brother is going to contact other officials?" Zhou Ji asked.
Xun Wolf smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Ji knew that this was a tacit acquiescence: "Since this is the case, let's go out together." ”
The carriages went out of the gate one after the other, one to the left and one to the right, and each left.
To the right was Zhou Ji's carriage, which traveled on the road for a while and came to the gate of the Wei Mansion.
The doorman was already very familiar with Zhou Ji, and when he saw that he was coming, one of them hurriedly ran forward respectfully and asked, "Lord Zhou, are you here to meet the general?"
"The general can be in the mansion?" Zhou Ji nodded and asked.
"Lord Zhou, my general is in the mansion. ”
Zhou Ji's heart was relieved, which made him very pleased.
"General, Lord Zhou is out asking to see you. In the study, Wei Yue was closing his eyes and recuperating, and when he heard someone report that Zhou Ji was coming, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
Is the sir coming?
Just as he had something to discuss with him, Wei Yue pondered for a moment and spoke: "Please let him in." ”
"No. ”
In the garden, the doorman who brought Zhou Ji in was leading the adult in.
"Speaking of which, isn't the general's mood very good these days?" As soon as he entered the Wei Mansion, Zhou Ji had already noticed that the atmosphere in the mansion was very depressing, and there was no need to guess the reason for this phenomenon, it must be the General Wei.
"Yes, Lord Zhou, you will go in later, but be careful, several adults have been reprimanded by the general in the past few days. Seeing that there was no one around, the doorman whispered a reminder.
Zhou Ji rarely showed a gentle smile: "Thank you for reminding me." ”
"Lord Zhou, the general, please come over. Then a steward came over.
Seeing this, the doorman stopped and retreated, and Zhou Ji followed behind the steward and walked towards the study.
When he arrived at the door, the steward stopped and said to the door, "General, Lord Zhou has been brought." ”
Wei Yue's reply came from inside: "Please let Mr. in." Stand down. ”
In response to the incident, he turned around, saluted Zhou Ji, and retreated.
The door was closed, Zhou Ji pushed the door directly in, but saw Wei Yue making tea by himself, saw him come in, and greeted: "Sir, you are here, sit casually, the tea will be boiled in a while, you can taste it." ”
As he spoke, he got busy with himself.
Zhou Ji knew his preferences, found a place to sit down, and watched Wei Yue make tea by himself.
It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that Wei Yue, who has a majestic appearance, would be so enthusiastic about these elegant things.
After a while, Wei Yue boiled this tea, although the taste was not strong, the faint aroma was even more sultry, Zhou Ji was in a certain mood, just this move, he knew that the general's heart had moved.
After all, the general is a general, no matter how keen he is on these elegant things, it is impossible to make tea in person, and he can make tea in person, there are only a few times in the history of more than ten years, and none of them have changed greatly.
Looking at the color again, carefully inspecting, and a shock in his heart: "As soon as the imperial court's qi declines, the predicament of Wei Yue will be weak." ”
