Luoyang, western suburbs.

Shangyang Palace, outside Ganlu Hall in the northwest corner.

A female official in Caishang with a mole at the corner of her mouth and four female officials with music and music were leading a group of musicians into the majestic gate of Ganlu Hall.

The footsteps sounded particularly neat in the straight and silent corridor of the palace.

Wei Wangwei's heir looked away from the group of young musicians who bowed their heads docilely.

Turning around, I looked back at the autumn forest scenery of Beiqi Mountain in the distance.

Wearing a purple python suit, he was standing on a high platform not far from the Ganlu Palace, where he could rest and watch the scenery. He gently tapped the white stone lion railing in front of him with his palms.

In the Manlu Hall behind you, there was a lot of melodious music faintly coming from the piano.

Wei Jisi turned his head from time to time and glanced at the 100-foot golden Buddha not far from the Ganlu Hall. From his perspective, the autumn sun was half blocked by the Buddha's kind-faced head.

This golden Buddha is almost as old as the Zhou Dynasty. It was built jointly by the current emperor and his brother Wei Sixing when he changed the name of the country and ascended the throne. It was also supervised by them personally.

After a while, the female officer Cai Shang, who had a mole on the corner of her mouth, who had just escorted a group of musicians into the Man Dew Hall, exited the Man Dew Hall.

When passing by the viewing platform, Wei Jisi came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at her.

The female official in colorful clothes turned around, walked up to the high platform, and saluted slightly:

"Your Majesty, it's not yet time for the imperial meeting. You're early. The other princes and husband haven't arrived yet."

Wei Jisi nodded and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so interested in listening to the music?"

The female official in colorful clothes, adorned with plum blossom makeup, which was popular in the palace, lowered her eyes and explained softly:

"The saint has always liked the harp music here in Yang Palace. When he had a headache in the past, he would come and listen to the harp music, and the headache would be relieved.

"I have been busy with everything these days, and I haven't been here to listen to it for a while. Recently, the saint started to recite it again. However, the old musician whom the saint liked the most in the past has retired from the palace in his early years due to old age and declining skills. The musician he originally taught

A group of disciples are also sick, are retiring, or have not learned the basic skills and are not good at it... I ordered the female officials of Sile to recruit a new group and select those with superb skills for the imperial examination..."

Wei Jisi nodded when he heard this:

"I also have a group of musicians in my palace. I will send someone to bring them in this afternoon. Lingzhen Nvshi will also take a look at them to see if there is any music that His Majesty likes."

"His Royal Highness, King Wei, has worked hard."

The female official named Ling Zhen Nu Shi said with a straight face.

Wei Jisi waved his hand:

"You and I share our worries for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Rong Zhen Nv Shi, who can best listen to your words, is not here. Ling Zhen Nv Shi should take good care of Your Majesty and don't let Your Majesty be exhausted from state affairs."

"It is obligatory."

At this moment, another figure in a purple-red python suit appeared not far away. He seemed to have seen the figure of Wei Jisi waiting on the observation platform, so he walked slowly towards this side.

Wei Jisi turned around and looked at the royal brother.

The female historian Lingzhen on the side had disappeared at some point, and she was sensible enough not to hinder the conversation between the two Wei princes.

"Brother Wang is here so early?"

Wei Sixing raised his hand and said hello.

Wei Jisi had an expressionless face and glanced at Brother Wang, who was always smiling. He said directly without saying anything:

"Does Brother Wang know about what happened in Jiangzhou? There is also Shaoqi's letter. Brother Wang has also read it, right?"

Wei Sixing smiled and nodded.

Wei Jisi had a cold face, turned his head and said:

"Shaoqi likes me. His words are very harsh and inappropriate. There are some things that a junior like him can't question. Is it possible that Brother Wang can think more than him? It's just a trick. If you give him a little sunshine, he will shine.

I won’t send him out next time... or I, the king, call him back, hang him up and let the king’s brother whip him with a whip, so that he can learn a lesson.”

Wei Sixing saw that Brother Wang was tilting his head to observe the scenery in the distance the whole time he was speaking, without looking at him.

He couldn't help but laugh, waved his hands and said:

"It's not that serious. It's all my own. I like Shaoqi's nephew's temperament. I heard from people below that he takes good care of An Hui and protects his shortcomings. I have no dissatisfaction. What's more,

As a child, it’s good to have the energy of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.”

Wei Jisi's expression softened a little. He looked at Feng Qingyun's smiling brother and said for no reason:

"Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and you can enjoy the music at leisure."

Wei Sixing glanced at the Ganlu Hall not far away, where the faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music could be heard, and said calmly:

"Is it because of the Jiangzhou memorial that was rushed to the palace last night? It was submitted by Si Tianjian Xia Guan Lingtai Lang Lincheng?"

Wei Jisi nodded imperceptibly and said in a cold voice:

"In the upcoming imperial meeting... His Majesty will ask for your opinion. Brother Wang, please think about how to answer it first. Well, it's best to tell Brother in advance. Brother, I will listen to you."

Wei Sixing's face changed slightly and he immediately shook his head: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? It's only me who should follow Brother Wang. Brother Wang, don't try to hurt me."

Wei Jisi was noncommittal and snorted softly:

"Oh? Really, but now many people below are spreading some rumors, and I think it is not unreasonable."

"What rumors?" Wei Sixing answered.

"Some people who are fond of spreading rumors and causing trouble said that Prince Liang's palace, my brother's, has some different opinions on the route of Prince Wei's palace. Now the people below who are dependent on our Wei family are tied up, and they are looking forward and backward in dealing with the Liqian clan in various places. It seems that

I'm afraid that I might misunderstand what we brothers mean..."

Wei Sixing stared at his brother's expression for a while and sighed:

"Brother Wang, I have also read Shaoqi's nephew's letter, and I understand Shaoqi's resentment very well.

"But... we must consider some things in advance. We cannot just advance and not retreat. Brother, I sometimes look back and look at our Wei family's journey over the years and the accumulation of such a big business. I always feel that we are walking on thin ice.

No better than those old ministers of Liqian who complained miserably. Such a big ship needs to be steered well. After all, the ship will turn around in disaster...

"Brother Wang, we must properly learn from those Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Although they are not as powerful and noble as our Wei family, these families that can last for hundreds of years naturally have their own reasons for survival and are on the verge of extinction.

The painful lessons of losing a clan and surname, such as the fruit of a tree, cannot fill a basket... We must learn from it with humility."

Having said this, Wei Sixing paused and then lowered his voice and said:

"The situation in Jiangzhou is very delicate and complicated. The fact that King Xunyang Lixian and his family were recovered from Longcheng by His Majesty is already an obvious signal. This not only warned our family, but also warned the Prime Minister.

"Not long ago, His Majesty appointed King Xunyang as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and tacitly acknowledged that Ouyang Lianghan, the governor of Xinjiang, has full authority to preside over the construction of the Donglin Buddha. This meaning is already obvious. Ouyang Lianghan can be promoted from the fifth rank to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The youngest Chang Shi can be explained by more than just being a 'Southeast Pearl'. Your Majesty uses this son as a layer of protection for the Xunyang Palace. As for why he protects..."

"Don't go all-in, don't be single-minded... I understand this truth, but my brother has retreated too much. The past was before, and the present is now. The situation is not static. Now there is a rebellion in the southwest, and the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou is at the forefront.

And it has yet to be completed. These are good situations for us and we can make a difference."

Wei Jisi's tone was serious and he said seriously:

"Now regarding the relocation of the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou, between Lin Cheng and Prince Xunyang's Mansion, who should I choose? Don't forget, Brother Wang, Lin Cheng is your future son-in-law."

Wei Sixing was also very emotional:

"How could I have imagined that Lin Cheng was so unexpected and could create such a situation? I still underestimated him."

Wei Jisi's serious face revealed a smile:

"Everyone has the ambition to climb up. What's rare is that he understands the Holy Heart, instead of worrying about the people and the country with some bullshit and hypocrisy. He can share the worries of His Majesty. Your Majesty is the country. This son has done a good job and has a bright future.

"I used to look down upon him, thinking that marrying a daughter of the Wei family would give him an advantage, but now I feel that it is not a loss at all. This son is as good as Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan. With this big betrothal gift, our Wei family

Taken it.

"Well, if Brother Wang is dissatisfied with him, just give it to me. I, the Prince of Wei, also have a daughter who has not left the palace."

Wei Si Xing wanted to speak.

Wei Jisi suddenly said again:

"Shaoqi said in the letter that the Prince of Xunyang had secretly contacted the Qin family, and was preparing to arrange a marriage between Li Fusu and the daughter of the Qin family before Shaoqi went there. Brother Wang should know about this, hehe, this Xunyang family

The palace is not as honest, easy to deal with, and ambitious as the younger brother Wang expected. Ouyang Lianghan wants to be a second wife even if he wants to.

"Furthermore, Ouyang Lianghan is a disciple of Xie Xun, and Xie Xun is close to Master Di. They are all the same old-fashioned stuff that restored Li Qian's rule. I heard that the Li Xian family trusts Ouyang Lianghan, so it is inevitable that this son will not be here

The wind of returning to the Qian tradition blew in Li Xian's ears.

"Brother Wang, our Wei family is a clan of Dazhou, not Daqian. You have to figure out who is close and who is far away."

When Wei Sixing heard the words, he fell silent.

Wei Jisi glanced at his thoughtful face and said calmly:

"Shaoqi's tone was very aggressive this time, and it's also because Li Fusu dared to get involved with the daughter of the Qin family. So, what does Wang brother say about this matter? Do you want me to let Shaoqi give in? Bear with it for a while."

Wei Sixing immediately said: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? The son of my Wei family is naturally better than the son of Li family."

After speaking, he pondered again:

"Over in Jiangzhou, what's going on with the reversal of the verdict?"

Seeing that Brother Wang's attitude was wavering, Wei Jisi immediately said: "Everything goes well. With Lin Cheng here this time, I have more confidence."
