Not to mention Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Xie Jin and Xie Yu sitting opposite also looked surprised. Let’s not talk about whether the position of Jiuqing promised to Wei Cheng by Cao Cao can come true.
It is Wei Hao. If he can really help the young emperor to suppress the Baibo Army, relying on his prestige in Shilin, and Wei Hao once held the position of Taichang, and becomes an official again, a third prince will not be able to escape.
The Wei family is a family of relatives. Starting from the ancestor Wei Qing, the family has gradually declined. In the past three hundred years, the Wei family has had several important figures, but the power cannot last for long, and there is always a situation where generations are discontinued.
When it came to Wei Hao's generation, he had only mixed up with Taichang, one of the Nine Qings, and the eldest son was even more unbearable. He only served as a county magistrate in a small place in Guanzhong. Unfortunately, that's probably what it means.
Now that a third prince was in front of him, Wei Cheng refused without even thinking about it. Xie Yu wanted to persuade Wei Cheng, but she held back and planned to go to Cai Yan later and ask her sister to persuade him.
Xie Jin looked at Wei Cheng thoughtfully, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, with a hint of fear.
Cao Cao came back to his senses and twitched his lips in embarrassment. He really didn't expect that someone would refuse power.
"Master, think twice." Liu Bei couldn't help but remind him. What he didn't expect was that Wei Cheng didn't even look at him. He picked up the wine glass, asked the maid to add more wine, and asked with a smile:
"Are you still used to life in the house? Is there anyone making trouble for you?" Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly shook her head, bowed her hands respectfully, and replied:
"Mammy treated us equally and never made it difficult for us. Wei Cheng smiled slightly and asked her a few more questions, all of which were very common. These maids were refugees in trouble and took the initiative to sell them to the Wei family as slaves. Wei Cheng learned this Afterwards, the Holy Mother offered them high wages, allowing them to take three days off every month and enjoy a perfect fortune. Liu Bei, who was left standing aside, opened his mouth, and finally closed it with a helpless smile. Talked. There was once a sincere trust placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If God could give me another chance, Liu Bei's heart would hurt. In the end, Cao Cao and Liu Bei left with nothing. After walking out of the Wei family's mansion, Cao Cao There was no reason to say:
"This guy is very ambitious." Liu Bei was stunned. He didn't know what he meant, and he was too embarrassed to ask, otherwise he would look stupid and stupid.
Cao Cao turned around and glanced at the plaque of the Wei family's wealthy family. He frowned, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and left angrily.
What he didn't know was that Yuan Shu had also said the same thing, and they all obviously believed that Wei Qing had been hiding his power and biding his time in hiding for many years, and now he had ulterior motives as soon as he was born.
After Cao Cao and Liu Bei left, Wei Cheng invited Xie Jin to have tea in the backyard. The small red clay stove cooks mountain spring water brought from the Luliang Mountains dozens of miles away.
Xie Yu waited on the side very obediently. She imitated Cai Yan's movements and carefully recalled the steps, for fear that Wei Cheng might accidentally see the joke... Compared with her who wielded knives and guns, this At that time, Xie Yucai was like a lady of the family.
"Why did Zhongdao reject Cao Mengde? Although I have many disagreements with him, this man has always kept his word. If the Wei family really succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, it would be certain that Duke Wei would resurrect the three Dukes. What a pity." Xie Jin said with emotion.
Wei Cheng looked at Xie Yu's clumsy movements, heard the words, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Shi doesn't know me. My nephew is used to being idle. He likes to be with herbs. He really doesn't like the intrigues and intrigues. As for his father, he is already old, so it's better to enjoy his life at home, so as not to worry about it. Being ostracized again hurts my mood, haha." Xie Jin was holding back a sentence in his heart, and was about to blurt it out, but glanced at Xie Yu next to him, and finally held back.
He wanted to ask Wei Cheng, if there was no fight, why did he raise so many soldiers? He had seen the training of the city guards outside the city, and the intensity was no less than that of the strong troops at the border, or even more so.
However, remembering that his precious niece had also participated in the training, it was better not to ask this question, lest Xie Yu would be implicated when Wei Cheng's incident came to light, and he would really be unable to defend himself.
Now Xie Jin just had one thought, leave quickly and don't get involved too much with Wei Cheng and the entire Wei family.
But he didn't know that his precious niece's heart was already with someone Wei. That night. Cao Cao, who was sighing in the tile house, suddenly received an invitation.
Knowing that the person who invited him to meet was actually Wei Min, Cao Cao left the house calmly and did not call Liu Bei in the next room.
In the southeast corner of the county seat, there is a hook fence. Goulan has been around for a long time. I don’t know when it started. I guess as long as there are men and women, there will be demand.
There is a reason why Wei Zong invited Cao Cao to meet here. The two met in a guest house, and they were accompanied by two plump young women. Their appearance was not top-notch, but they had both breastfed children, and some people were just like this.
the next day. Cao Cao returned to Wase early in the morning, took his men and Liu Bei, and headed straight for Xia County after leaving the city.
At this time, in Xia County, Wei Gong was in charge, and the general was Guan Yu. Two days later. Wei Cheng received the news, and Wei Gong and Guan Yu defected to Cao Cao with five thousand soldiers and horses.
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment after receiving the news. To be honest, the news shocked him quite a bit. It makes sense that Guan Yu was deceived by Liu Bei and ran away. How could Wei Gong defect to Cao Cao without knowing it?
Although he was not very familiar with Wei Gong, Wei Cheng had no reason to feel betrayed.
Just when Wei Cheng was feeling depressed, Wei Yi came to him. The uncle and nephew were sitting opposite each other. Wei Teng was making tea with a gloomy face. The tea soup was boiling, which was very similar to his mood at this time.
Wei Min said bluntly:
"The advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages. Don't be sulky, Cheng'er. I'm doing this for your own good." When Wei Cheng learned that it was Wei Min who gave Cao Cao the letter of introduction, his heart felt like a stone.
Facing Wei Zang's explanation, Wei Cheng said with a childish temper:
"Second uncle still doesn't believe me." Wei Min looked at him funny, then said seriously:
"Why, you didn't even listen to your second uncle's words?"
"I don't dare." Wei Cheng curled his lips. Wei Min said earnestly:
"There are two considerations for this move. First, although Gong'er is the eldest brother's adopted son, there is still a layer of blood relationship. If the great cause fails, Gong'er has successfully suppressed the rebellion. Taking into account the past kindness, he may be able to keep my Wei family. Secondly, if the incense is not extinguished, you must give the world an attitude. After all, it is an imperial edict. How can you ignore it easily?" Wei Cheng was not stupid. After listening to his explanation, he gradually calmed down the resentment in his heart. Wei Min didn't know that he Real "confidence", so Wei Wei made the decision to invest on both sides based on the principle of maximizing interests. On the one hand, he used the power of the entire family to support himself, on the other hand, he asked Wei Gong to serve the Han Dynasty, and used the Wei family's Mingtou participated in the counter-rebellion. This move also has a third benefit, which is to buy Wei Cheng enough time to develop secretly. At least before the real troubled times come, Wei Cheng cannot be the one who stands out, otherwise he will easily be The crowd started to attack. From this point of view, Wei Zhan was worthy of being the real person in charge of the Wei family. His decision could be said to kill three birds with one stone. Unfortunately, he didn't know that his nephew was a cheating time traveler, otherwise he wouldn't have used it. It took a lot of effort and effort to put this together.
