Chapter 613

The war in southern Xinjiang is coming, and the Duke of Weiguo in Northern Xinjiang returns to his country. The storm centered on the imperial capital in Daqian is beginning to show. After the illegal children of the aristocratic family with the internal affairs department and the Royal Sanwei files are arrested, more than ten family owners in the Imperial capital are invited to the prison of the Ministry of punishment for tea. The situation of Qianyuan city becomes tense unconsciously.

However, under the control of Princess Yu Chuqing, ordinary people do not feel any difference except that there are more soldiers patrolling the streets of jingzhaoyin mansion every day. Qianyuan city is still the busy Qianyuan city and the capital of Qianlong.

"Your Highness." In Zhaowu palace of waige Pavilion, Zhuge Wei of jingzhaoyin is looking at the eldest princess Yu Chuqing with a bitter smile. In order to maintain the public order of the imperial capital, the government soldiers and yamen of jingzhaoyin's mansion are inspecting the imperial capital almost day and night. But the eldest princess thinks that this is not enough. Today, she calls him to give the imperial patrol camp to jingzhaoyin's mansion for temporary control, Obviously, it is necessary to increase the number of soldiers visiting the imperial capital again.

As the son-in-law of Daqian, the second son-in-law of the auxiliary government, and the father and mother of Qianyuan City, Zhuge Wei naturally understood why the eldest princess wanted to do this, but he did not agree to increase the number of soldiers visiting the capital again, because this would not necessarily achieve the desired effect, but would increase the tension in the capital, and even affect the livelihood of the people.

After hearing Zhuge Wei's story, Yu Chuqing said, "you are Xin'er's husband, my son-in-law, and we are not outsiders. You should understand the difficulties of this palace. At this time, the troops of the Da Qian army were either fighting outside or defending the border. Qianyuan, the capital of the emperor, is the place where people's beliefs and foreign views lie. At this time, there must be no trouble. If it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't send out troops, the palace would think that there would be less troops in the Jingzhao mansion and the patrol camp. "

Hearing the speech, Zhuge Wei still shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I think it's too eye-catching to send more patrol camps to inspect the imperial capital. Folk speculation must be indispensable. It's better to put things in the light than in the dark."

"Light and dark?" Yu Chuqing looked up at zhugewei and said, "do you mean the Royal Sanwei?"

"Your Highness, I see." Zhuge Wei didn't nod his head directly. Instead, he bowed his hands to Yu Chuqing.

The Royal Sanwei is the most secret of the twenty-four guards of Daqian, and it is also the only one not under the jurisdiction of waige. The Emperor himself and Princess Yu Chuqing only know how many people there are and where they are. Sanwei was established to consolidate the rule of the royal family. Even if Zhuge Wei was the son-in-law of Daqian, it was taboo to mention Sanwei.

Yu Chuqing's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard the speech. She lowered her head to think about it. Suddenly, Zhaowu palace became quiet. Zhuge Wei was not used to this kind of quietness. He even regretted that he had just proposed that the three guards of the emperor should be directly in charge of the emperor. How to use them should not be left to his foreign minister, even if he was the son-in-law of Da Qian.

"Our palace will send three guards to spread the imperial capital, but the patrol camp still has to go to the streets. This matter will be handed over to your jingzhaoyin mansion. We believe that Zhuge Wei can stabilize the situation of the imperial capital without making the people feel strange." Yu Chuqing stares at Zhuge Wei and says.

"I will obey you, and I will live up to your highness." Seeing that the princess had made a decision, Zhuge Wei could only accept the order with a bitter smile.

As the princess said, as an official promoted from a local county, it is not particularly difficult for him to pacify the emperor without affecting the people. However, he had some scruples in his heart. The Fu government had a great career, but the power of the aristocratic family could not be underestimated. He didn't want to make the Fu government the target of the aristocratic family for his own reasons. But the order of Princess Yu Chuqing has been issued. Even if he doesn't want to, he can only follow it.

"ZHUGE Wei, with your intelligence, you can see clearly what this palace wants to do. Your father, old Prime Minister Zhuge, neither agrees nor opposes this matter. I want to hear from you. " Zhugewei had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Princess Yu Chuqing didn't seem to speak any more, she wanted to leave. Maybe before he could speak out, Princess Yu Chuqing suddenly said.

Zhuge Wei bowed his hand and said, "my father has been cautious all his life. Now the war in southern Xinjiang is coming. The 600000 people of CHIDI in Northern Xinjiang have complicated affairs. My father often teaches me that I should have a choice when I am in trouble. I think that I should pay more attention to the affairs of northern and southern Xinjiang at this time."

At this point, Zhuge Wei looked up at Yu Chuqing's face and saw that her face did not change. He continued, "I think that the trouble of the aristocratic family lies in the future rather than in the present. If I want to punish the aristocratic family and reorganize the court, I can wait until Lu Xiang and Lu Shuai return to Beijing. By that time, I will have millions of victorious teachers. With your Majesty's edict, the aristocratic family will bow down, It's not a family like this that wants to bow down and feel unwilling, and wants to rebel and dare not, which leads to tension. "

"You are outspoken. I haven't heard anyone speak to me like that in some years." Yu Chuqing said, looking at Zhuge Wei with a smile.

"I'm afraid, your highness, please forgive me." Zhuge Wei was surprised in his heart when he heard the speech. He quickly bowed and said.

Yu Chuqing reached out to help Zhuge Wei. An invisible force made him stand up straight. Then he said, "what are you afraid of? You should talk freely about the state affairs. What's the crime?"

"Thank you, your highness." Zhuge Wei sighed with relief and said thanks.

"It's good to be outspoken. The courtiers will not be outspoken if they don't have a pure heart and a upright body. I didn't expect that you can still have the same original intention after 20 years of ups and downs in the official world. The seven younger sisters didn't see the wrong person. Zhuge Wei, you are really good." Yu Chuqing looked up and down at Zhuge Wei and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, this is the duty of a man and a minister." Said zhugwei humbly.

"It's my duty to be a minister." Yu Chuqing sighed and waved her hand to a palace maid beside her. The palace maid held a wooden box in her hands and handed it to Zhuge Wei. She said, "this is the Hufu of the patrol camp and the waige document that you have to control for the time being. Take it and step back."

"Your Highness Xie, I will leave." Zhugewei took the wooden box in both hands and walked slowly out of the hall.

"Zhugewei." Just as Zhuge Wei came to the gate of the palace, Yu Chuqing said, "the Prime Minister of Zhuge is old. Your brother Zhuge Ju is guarding Northern Xinjiang. He is not in the capital all the year round. Zhuge's family must have successors in the imperial court. Since min Wensheng joined the cabinet and became the foreign minister, the position of minister was vacant. At this time, the left and right chamberlains and other departments were jointly acting as the affairs of the Ministry of punishment. There are thousands of people in the folk cloud family who are in charge of one person. There must be someone to take over the position of minister. You can do well. When this happens, our palace will talk to your Majesty in person. "

"Thank you, your highness." Zhuge Wei smell speech turn round a ceremony, but not sad not happy face said.

"Go ahead." Yu Chuqing waved her hand, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's time to turn on the lamp, because his wife Yu Chuxin is not in Beijing, and his infant son is also in the auxiliary government house, under the care of Zhuge's family. Zhuge Wei didn't return home after leaving the yamen, but went to the auxiliary Government House. Because the old Prime Minister Zhuo first returned to Beijing to take the place of Liu Buyi, who was seriously injured, Zhuge Xingzhi, the prime minister, felt much more relaxed recently. He also returned home before dark. After the meal, Zhuge Wei dismissed his servants and told his father Zhuge Xingzhi about today's Zhaowu palace.

"Is that what the princess said? She is going to recommend you to her majesty as Minister of the Ministry of punishment? " After listening to his son's story, Zhuge Xingzhi's brow was deeply wrinkled.

"It's true." Zhuge Wei nodded, looked at Zhuge Xingzhi and asked, "does father think it's wrong?"

"It's not wrong." Zhuge shook his head and said, "but the old man can't understand what his majesty and his royal highness do."

"Why does father say that? What does father not understand? Is there any other hindrance to my son's promotion to minister of the Ministry of punishment? " Zhuge Wei hears speech a Leng, very don't understand of ask a way.

Zhuge Xingzhi took the tea cup in front of him and put it back on the table instead of drinking it. He said, "when Daqian founded the country, there were nine families in the government, twelve in the Bu family of emperor Shang, the Bai family of Emperor Wu, and now the Lu family. According to the truth, it has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the state by Da Qian. Many handed down governments should decline slowly, but now the situation is not the case. "

Zhuge Wei nodded his head and said, "the rise and fall of a family are all in the elite. Just like the Yun family of Zhenguo, because the Duke of Zhenguo is not in good health, he has never been an official. Therefore, the reputation of the government of Zhenguo is far less than that of the pre imperial period. Yunxian thought has a long way to go to revitalize the lintel. Although he was granted the title of Duke of Wei for less than four years, Lu's father and son were all unparalleled statesmen with the highest prestige in the world. But father, what does this have to do with our Zhuge family? "

"Yes, of course it does." Zhuge looked at his son's somewhat puzzled face and shook his head. "Now in the great power, the most powerful country is the Wei state land. Most of the troops are in the hands of Lu Jia and his son, and the master of the state house is the royal highness of the princess."

Here, Zhuge Xingzhi drank a cup of tea, moistened her dry lips, and continued, "after Wei's government, it was Dingguo who took care of the family, Gu Huairen was the prime minister, Gu Huaiyi was the commander of Zhuo Wei. Although Gu Jieyun stepped down as commander-in-chief of Fengxiang army, Princess Tianxiang was young and had no record of convincing the generals. At this time, the military power of Fengxiang army was still in Gu Jieyun's hands, In the younger generation, Gu Qingcheng is the deputy commander of the Fengxiang army, and Gu Qianxue also has the duty of the East Palace servant. It's only a matter of time before he can be reused. Gu qianxiao is also the main general of the battalion when he is young, and he is also the most elite Fengxiang yunqi of the Fengxiang army. "

"Father, these are all things that people with clear eyes know. Father, what do you want to say?" After hearing this, Zhuge Wei still didn't understand what his father wanted to express, so he asked.

"Confused." Zhuge Xingzhi patted the table, sighed and said, "Wei'er, which one is the most powerful and powerful after the Lu family and Ding family in Wei country?"

"This ~" ZHUGE Wei bowed his head to think quickly, and then suddenly raised his head and said, "it's our Zhuge family. Father, you are now the Prime Minister of the cabinet. Your eldest brother is the commander of Tianhuo army. Your child is the Yin of Jingzhao army. Your younger sister is the general of Fengxiang army. Even Yan'er is also counsellor of Junji in the commander-in-chief's office in southern Xinjiang. As long as he grows up, he will be the commander-in-chief of the army like his elder brother. It's not impossible to join the cabinet and pay homage to his prime minister in 20 or 30 years. "

"You're right. That's what happened. Wei'er, if you further become the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, my Zhuge family will certainly be able to go up to a higher level, but I'm also worried about my father. " Zhuge Xingzhi sighed and said.

"Your Majesty is Kuan Ren, the prince is loyal, and the eldest princess doesn't mean to aim at my Zhuge family. Yan'er has a good relationship with Lu Que and his highness Tianxiang. What's his father worried about?" Zhugewei asked, puzzled.

"Too much is better than too much." When Zhuge looked at the lights on his desk, he said for a long time, "no one is good for a thousand days, no flower is red for a hundred days, and nothing can be fixed in time. For Zhuge's family, it's gratifying that it's like this now, but my father always thinks that it's better to be prosperous for a while than for a long time."

"Why does father say that?" Zhugwei asked.

"There are some words that I should not have said as the Prime Minister of Da Qian, but I am also the head of the Zhuge family, inheriting the position of assistant Duke left by my ancestors, so I have to plan for the whole family. If a family wants to develop all the time, it is only on the one hand that there are many talented people in the family, and on the other hand, it is to try not to make enemies, even if they do. Just like the Xiao family in those years, they will end up like that. Of course, there are reasons for the former Emperor, but what's more important is that zhengshigong is too square and upright and has too many enemies under the Xiao family tree. "

"Is my father worried that my son would make too many enemies when he was promoted to minister of punishment?" Zhuge Wei finally understood what his father Zhuge Xingzhi wanted to express and asked.

"Yes, it is not." Zhuge Xingzhi nodded, then shook his head and said, "your majesty and his highness have already attacked the aristocratic family. For a long time in the future, the Ministry of punishment will be in charge. However, the Ministry of punishment will act according to the law of the country and the emperor's orders, but the principle of law is nothing more than human feelings. Our Zhuge family has passed on for hundreds of years, and there are many old relatives. What will you do if these people ask you, Do you take it lightly or stick to the law? "

"As a minister, child naturally adheres to the law of Da Qian. How can he forget the public for his own sake? After 20 years as an official, he was promoted to the court from the county and township level. He knew that the laws of heaven and the state should never be ignored. Otherwise, if the law does not become law, the state will not become a state. " Zhuge Wei didn't even think about it.

Hearing this, Zhuge Xingyan gave his son a deep look, and his eyes flashed a trace of inexplicable brilliance. He said, "in this way, isn't my Zhuge family alone in the world like a lonely family?"
