Chapter 117 Meeting by Destiny

Wei Xuan could have any opinion. His father had written letter after letter to the emperor and other nobles in the court, asking for the emperor to be removed from office. Wei Xuan could only focus on this topic to elaborate on his political stance.

"My nephew believes that the root cause of today's chaos is the mergers and acquisitions by powerful powers, which caused a large number of people to lose their land and become slaves and even refugees. The eunuchs in the court and the exclusive power of foreign relatives are the triggers. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Qiang rebellion, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, and the Baibogu Uprising

It’s all like that.”

Wang Yun was a little surprised. The Wei family was a well-known and powerful family in the country. Unlike other scholars, Wei Xuan directly attributed all the responsibilities to the eunuchs who took over the power. But as everyone knows, even if there are no eunuchs to take over, a dynasty has already reached a state of extreme land annexation.

Perish, because those with vested interests cannot voluntarily give up their land, and tens of millions of people will naturally rebel in order to survive. Although most people follow blindly, the fundamental reason is that they cannot survive.

The exclusive power of eunuchs only caused the conflicts between the people at the bottom and those in power to break out faster. Wouldn't the country be destroyed if the clique took control at that time? Look at the Song Dynasty, and then look at Emperor Chongzhen after Wei Zhongxian was eradicated. His subordinates who claimed to be

Among the gentlemen, how many of the Donglin Party members are not corrupt, and how many of them are corrupt and shameless?

Therefore, Wei Xuan's analysis is penetrating. It is rare that he comes from a proud family and can face this problem head-on without avoiding it.

Wang Yun nodded: "The eunuchs must be eliminated, but the current situation cannot be solved by killing a few eunuchs. I have heard that it was your act of relieving the victims in Hedong that prevented the Baibo Army from causing trouble like the Black Mountain Army. Zhongdao you

You have a great talent, and now Yang Fengdu is already the captain, Yilang Yilang has really wronged you."

Wei Xuan hurriedly said modestly: "Uncle Shi is joking. General Niu Zhonglang who was able to quickly quell the Baibo Army is a great credit. The officials of the Hedong Prefecture and the county chiefs also made great efforts. Xuan was able to win at the age of only twenty.

I am afraid that I will not be qualified for such a noble position as Yilang."

Wang Yun nodded and continued: "Since you have arrived in Luoyang, the Emperor will definitely summon you in a few days. What should you say?"

"Please ask Uncle Shi for advice." Wei Xuan was sincerely asking for advice. Yilang was just like a consultant. Not only did he have to participate in government affairs, but the emperor wanted to meet the descendants of the Wei family on a whim that day, so he would definitely ask him for his opinion.

Wang Yun thought for a while and said: "I know that although you hate eunuchs, after all, those people are close to the emperor, and they are not close to each other. Do you understand?"

Wei Xuan was so grateful that he did not expect that this staunch civil servant would actually teach him as his nephew.

However, Wei Xuan still pretended to be confused and asked: "I was declared a scholar, and he was recommended by the Taiwei and the General. If he was questioned by the emperor in the court, and Xuan kept silent about eunuchs, wouldn't the world think that my nephew is a eunuch?"

Are you a timid person who follows the trend of others and is afraid of getting into trouble?"

Wang Yun was surprised to see that although Wei Xuan was a little unreliable, his attitude was not very fierce. He thought to himself that the Wei family was really calm, and then said: "What I mean is that when the emperor asks you, don't say anything."

, Don’t ask, don’t tell. You can also lead the topic to topics you are good at, and compare poetry and prose, such as classics and history, such as the art of war. Well, I really underestimate you, Zhongdao, you are really a leader in the Luoyang court now.

He is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. His "Relief Song" some time ago and his "Dan Ge Xing" a few days ago are now very popular. You can talk more about poetry with the emperor."

Wei Xuan nodded and asked, "If the emperor asks about my nephew's military affairs, how should he respond?"

"Although military affairs are important, we don't have a direct stance. You can just tell us what you know."

Wei Xuan nodded and said: "Yuan Benchu ​​once asked his nephew about military affairs. The nephew said a lot out of vanity..."

Wei Xuan briefly told Wang Yun what he had discussed with He Yong and what he had mentioned at Yuan Shao's house that day.

Wang Yun's eyes lit up. He admired the strengthening of the central army. No matter whether these armies were in the hands of eunuchs, relatives or scholars, as long as the military power near Luoyang was strengthened, let alone far away, Guo Tai

They started an uprising in Baibo Valley. If the imperial court could send 3,000 elite troops to directly join Hedong County soldiers, they would be able to control the Baibo army within ten days.

So Wang Yun gave Wei Xuan some pointers and told him that if the emperor asked him, he would just say this. He was really teaching Wei Xuan as his nephew and younger generation.

Two hours later, Wei Xuan left with Wen Pin and others. Wei Xuan and Wang Yun were grateful for Wang Yun's sincerity to him. Of course, he also regretted that he could not meet Guanyue Diaochan, one of the four beauties.

Shortly after Wei Xuan left, a stunning young woman came to Wang Yun's residence and prostrated herself in front of Wang Yun: "Diao Chan has met her adoptive father."

"Get up. You saw the whole thing just now. How's this going?"

"Just looking at people, the stories about him that were circulated in Luoyang during this period may be true, but why don't you let him show his skills, foster father? Chan'er heard that he was performing "Dan Ge Xing" at Yuan Benchu's banquet that day, and Cao Mengde praised him.

This poem is something that few people in the world can match. I also heard that he often sent poems to Cai Zhaoji. Chan'er also wanted to have one or two as a souvenir."

Wang Yun looked at Diao Chan fondly and smiled and said, "You have worked hard today, but in my heart, I only have the sweet wife at home, but I still don't like you after all."

Diao Chan pouted her lips and said: "Father, you are deliberately bullying Chan'er. Chan'er is so far away, and you make your daughter wear a veil and don't let her lead the dance. In this way, everyone will just treat Chan'er as an ordinary singer."

Ji, Chan'er didn't even have a chance to show off, so how can you say he doesn't like Chan'er?"

Wang Yun shook his head: "It seems that my Chan'er is tempted. The boy from the Wei family is so powerful. He attracted my Chan'er's attention in such a quiet manner. This is playing hard to get. Young people are still very powerful.

However, this son of the Wei family comes from a well-known family, is good at writing and poetry, and knows military skills. He is indeed a rare young talent, and he is a good match for my Chan'er."

"Father!" Diao Chan was a little shy and a little complaining.

"Okay, okay, let my father observe me again. Then my father also wants to meet the daughter of the Cai family to see if she can tolerate others. There are many young people in Luoyang City. I will definitely not wrong you.

that is."

Diao Chan: "..."

After visiting Yuan Shao and Wang Yun, he theoretically waited for Yuan Shao to help him introduce the Grand Lieutenant Yuan Wei and the General He Jin. Then he waited for Wang Yun to settle the matter at Guanglu Temple and waited for Shang Chao to have the opportunity to meet him.

Son of Heaven.

But when he returned to his mansion and saw Cai Yan, he changed his mind again. Although he didn't show it at Yuan Shao's mansion and Wang Yun's mansion, the singers in the summer were wearing thin clothes, and a few grown men talked loudly.

Fengyue, with such a singer dancing beside her, although Wei Xuan is no longer the first brother, he can't stand being teased by them again and again, so when he comes back and sees his beauty, he naturally wants to love her.

When both of them were tired, Cai Yan got down to business. It turned out that Wei Xuan was focused on making a name for himself after arriving in Luoyang, and visited Cai Yan non-stop, which indeed left Cai Yan in the cold. But Cai Yan mentioned that he planned to make a name for himself in the next few days.

I also want to visit some of my father’s old friends, but I need to go shopping to buy some gifts. I want Wei Xuan to accompany me to go shopping tomorrow, and Wei Xuan naturally agrees.

In the past few days, Cai Yan also asked the maid in the palace to find out from the surrounding neighbors where there was good rouge and good jewelry in Luoyang City. She also knew that Wei Xuan's time was precious, so the couple took a carriage in the morning of the next day.

Go straight to your destination.

She bought a lot of ready-made clothes and jewelry along the way. Cai Yan probably knew that Wei Xuan was a wealthy family, and this was the capital. The women she was going to visit were all the wives of famous people, so naturally they couldn't be too shabby. Wei Xuan's ideas were in line with this era.

There is something different about this man. When his wife wants to buy something, he won't blink an eye. As long as Cai Yan likes it, it will be packaged and delivered to a certain number in the south of the city. This makes many shopkeepers very happy.

But something unexpected happened when he arrived at a rouge shop. It must be said that Wei Xuan was different from others. Even if ordinary scholar-bureaucrats could not bear to part with their young wives, they would at best wait in the carriage. There was no son-in-law or Yilang accompanying him.

My wife went into the store to pick it up.

Choosing rouge is also very particular. In addition to the color, the most important thing is of course the fragrance. With a room full of rouge, it is indeed not easy to choose the right one, but with the help of Wei Xuan, Cai Yan is still very

I had almost completed my purchasing task and was about to check out when there was a commotion in the rouge shop.

It turned out that another group of women were choosing rouge, but a few gangster-looking men walked in from outside the store. One of the men came to the group of women who were choosing rouge and said with a smile: "Ladies, my young master told you to wait.

My young master paid for today’s expenses.”

The group of women seemed to be led by one of the girls in a goose-yellow dress. She frowned and said, "Thank you, sir. However, as your young master, I don't dare to accept this gift. Please take it back."

The man seemed to have been prepared for it. He curled his lips and said with a smile: "I think this young lady didn't hear clearly. I'm talking about my young master. Who is the young master? Since he has taken a liking to you, I want to take my place."

You pay the bill, madam, are you sure you want to refuse?"

The woman in the goose-yellow dress didn't say anything. A woman in green clothes next to her came forward and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? You know your young master, but do you know who we are?"

The man's face dropped and he snorted coldly and said: "Aren't you just a group of maids from Mr. Wang's family? My young master thinks highly of you. Come back with me today. I wonder if the young master can still treat you favorably. If there is no limit, hehe..."
