Chapter 83 I Ask for a Title for My Sister!

The emperor entertained all officials in the Chuigong Hall.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Zhen found an excuse to leave.

When he was here, the officials would be timid and not have a good time.

So, it would be better to let them have fun.

Especially those meritorious officials who returned from the expedition, otherwise, there would be no need to hold this banquet.

However, what was strange was that the emperor had just left.

The civil and military officials did not toast to Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Instead, they took turns to toast to Wei Yuan.

Not to mention others, even Wei Yuan himself felt a little flattered and quickly stood up to greet the people who came to toast.

"General Wei, I heard that you killed seven generals in battle, you are as brave as Guan Yu!"

"You are polite, it's just luck, luck."

"General Wei, my hometown is in Daizhou, thank you for saving my hometown from the flames of war!"

"Your Excellency is serious, this is all thanks to my mentor's guidance"

"General Wei, you must drink this cup of wine, you resisted the enemy Yeli Yuqi outside Yanmen Pass, and you made the people of our country feel angry!"

"Without my mentor's guidance, I would never have defeated Yeli Yuqi"

"."

Whether it was the Qingliu or the Wuxun, at this moment, they all came to toast Wei Yuan.

Among them, there were some central ministers.

Wuxun was fine, but Wei Yuan couldn't figure out the civil officials anyway.

In the past, we didn't keep in touch.

It can't be that I'm going to be promoted because I won a battle, so I came to "fawn on" him, right?

It doesn't make sense.

During the drinking, Wei Yuan couldn't think too much.

He smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Fu.

The latter pretended not to see anything and was communicating with Gu Yankai.

"After this banquet, all the dignitaries in the capital will know Yuan'er."

"If it weren't for you, big brother, who took the trouble to help Wei Yuan, he would not be able to do anything on his own."

"Didn't you help him too? You deliberately let Yuan'er go hand in hand with you, isn't it to build momentum for Yuan'er?"

"."

At this point, the two laughed in succession.

They are all old men who have been in the court for many years. How could they not know the intentions of those officials to toast Wei Yuan?

However, they did not ask about this matter.

Coming to this fame and fortune place in the capital, some of the comings and goings and human relationships will depend on Wei Yuan to deal with alone.

Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai can help Wei Yuan for a while, but not for his whole life.

Sheng Hong, who was sitting at the end of the hall, has been looking for an opportunity to toast Wei Yuan.

But there were too many dignitaries who toasted Wei Yuan.

They were either ministers of the Ministry of Personnel or ministers of the Privy Council. They were so powerful that the capital would tremble if they stamped their feet.

He was a lowly official and didn't dare to bother them.

I don't know how long it took.

Wei Yuan got a moment of leisure and looked at Sheng Hong, who was sitting on pins and needles, and found it a little funny.

And Sheng Hong was also looking at him at this time.

Wei Yuan raised his glass, and Sheng Hong was flattered and quickly picked up the wine on the table.

The two drank from a distance.

After the wine entered his stomach, Sheng Hong exhaled a breath of turbid air and nodded to Wei Yuan with a smile.

For him, Wei Yuan's gesture of goodwill was a good sign.

It was almost certain that Wei Yuan would rise in the court in the future.

Relying on Wei Shuyi. Sheng Hong felt that the spring of the Sheng family might also be coming.

Of course, it was just his feeling.

The fact that a group of officials toasted Wei Yuan was known by Zhao Zhen.

He was thinking, Wei Yuan became famous at a young age, has his original intention changed?

It is inevitable. To give him a warning.

——

After the banquet, it was already late at night, but Zhao Zhen had not rested yet, and summoned Wei Yuan to Xuanzheng Hall alone.

The so-called seven-day banquet does not mean drinking for seven consecutive days.

It means that civil and military officials can continue to drink and have fun in Chuigong Hall after a busy day of government affairs.

As for the people, Zhao Zhen also issued an edict to allow the people to celebrate for three days.

Just like giving the whole world a holiday.

At this moment.

In Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Zhen, with a solemn face and a serious expression, was looking at Wei Yuan, who was kneeling in front of him and smelling of alcohol, and said in a deep voice:

"Wei Qing, do you still remember the one-year agreement with me?"

Hearing the voice.

Wei Yuan, who was already drunk, clenched his teeth when he kowtowed, and pinched his other hand hard with one hand, even pinching blood marks, to force himself to sober up.

"Minister, remember!"

"Minister returned with the Duke of Ying in triumph, bringing a hundred soldiers from Daizhou. These hundred soldiers are all heroes of the battle of Daizhou."

"Your Majesty can watch the effect of my training at any time!"

Zhao Zhen said: "No need, you have verified the effect of your training when you raided the Liao vanguard army, and I am very satisfied."

Bang——

Wei Yuan kowtowed again,

"It is an honor for me to be affirmed by your majesty!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked in a friendly manner:

"You killed seven generals in the battle and forced Yeli Yuqi to retreat. For such merits, what reward do you want? You might as well tell me."

Zhao Zhen was also very troubled about how to reward Wei Yuan.

He was just rewarded with an earl. If he is rewarded again, it cannot be lower than the earl standard.

Since he is troubled about how to reward him, it is better to throw this difficult problem to him.

If the reward he asked for was too much, Zhao Zhen would have to re-evaluate the young man in front of him.

However, before returning to the court, Zhang Fu had reminded Wei Yuan that sometimes, one should not be too aggressive.

Wei Yuan agreed with him,

"Your Majesty, I defend the country against the enemy and guard the border for Your Majesty. This is my duty. I dare not take credit for it."

"But since Your Majesty asked me to speak, I will speak out."

"When I was young, my family suffered great changes. My parents died young. I was raised by my two sisters before I had the opportunity to be loyal to the country."

"I am so bold that I want to seek a royal title for my two sisters!"

That's it.

Zhao Zhen seemed to be waiting for his next words.

However, it did not wait.

Is this gone?

"The British Lord said that you were the main contributor to the Daizhou War, and you only wanted to seek a life for your two sisters. Other than that, nothing else?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but wonder.

Wei Yuan did not dare to raise his head and said: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. To be able to become a loyal and brave uncle is a sign of my profound gratitude to the Emperor. I dare not ask for anything more than that!"

Hear this.

Only then did Zhao Zhen truly realize that the Wei Qing in front of him was still the same Wei Qing when he first came to Beijing.

Value love and righteousness, be loyal to the king and the country, and ask for nothing else.

Zhao Zhen was relieved.

"During the banquet, you will live in the palace. As for your reward, I will consider it at my discretion."

"Drink less, otherwise you will lose your health, and I will lose a general who can protect my family and country."

Zhao Zhen smiled and motioned for Wei Yuan to step back.

Just walked out of the palace gate.

The eunuch who was about to take Wei Yuan down to rest suddenly found that he was unable to leave, so he urged:

"Uncle Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yuan made a sound of "vomiting" and vomited outside the hall.

Afterwards, when Zhao Zhen learned about the incident, he did not blame Wei Yuan. Instead, he smiled at the queen and said:

"It is said that he speaks the truth after drinking. He does not take this opportunity to ask for credit from me, but only wants to ask for a title for his two sisters. This shows that Wei Qing is a true-hearted person."

"I have asked the Dining Bureau to prepare some sobering medicine for Wei Qing. Wei Qing is a good boy."

——

That night, the news that Wei Yuan was left in the palace by His Majesty spread throughout the noble families in the capital.

Why is it that the emperor is deeply favored and Jane is in the emperor's heart?

This is it!

now.

Sheng family.

Sheng Hong was telling Wang Ruofu about the scene at the banquet.

"The people who toasted to Wei Yuan are all ministers of the court! Our Sheng family is lucky to have a relative like Wei Yuan."

Wang Ruofu sighed: "I only hope that in the future he can not only help Minglan and Mu Geer, but also a bunch of Changbai."

Sheng Hong frowned and said, "As a family, do you think we can help or not?"

family?

Wang Ruofu groaned secretly.

Sheng Hong's little thoughts can even reach the palace, and he is still a family. Is he afraid that others don't know that he wants to cling to Wei Yuan?

In Twilight Cangzhai.

Minglan was in Wei Shuyi's room, holding her chin in her hands and saying in a daze:

"Mom, when can uncle come visit me?"

Wei Shu said, "Your Majesty will have a grand banquet in the palace for seven days. No matter what, it will have to wait until seven days later."

Minglan sighed, "But my daughter misses her uncle so much."

After a pause, she remembered the scene when she first met Wei Yuan today, and couldn't help but say:

"Mom, my uncle is so powerful now that he can keep pace with Gu Tingye's father Ning Yuanhou."

"All the distinguished disciples in the entire capital are praising my uncle for his greatness."

"Do you think Brother Mu can become a great hero like uncle in the future?"

Wei Shu covered his mouth and smiled, "If your brother can grow up safely, I, the mother, will be satisfied."

"As for becoming a mother-in-law like your uncle, I can't even think about it."

After a pause, she said seriously: "You have been coming to my mother's place frequently these days. I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will stay at the old lady's place. You can come whenever mother asks you to."
