Chapter 3612 Jingzhao Webster
Changsun Jiaqing is indeed stable. When Youtunwei pulls out the empty city strategy, he can concentrate on following the ruckus all night... Although the blame for Youtunwei's attack on Baqiao cannot be entirely attributed to Changsun Jiaqing, he failed to understand Youtunwei. The trend is an indisputable fact. If it remains like this in the future and cannot put enough pressure on Youtunwei to do whatever he wants, the situation will be very bad.
Of course, the eldest grandson Jiaqing is his cousin anyway. Since Wei Zhengju plans to bear the blame, there is no need to add any more warnings and damage the eldest grandson Jiaqing's face...
Yu Wenjie agreed, turned around and walked out to tell the clerk to go to Longshouyuan to deliver military orders.
After a while, Yu Wenjie entered Tongbing, and Wei Zhengju had already been tied up, and his father Wei Qingsi was also with him.
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, waved his hand and said, "Please come in, Lord Pengcheng."
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a middle-aged man with a slender figure and three long beards stepped inside, came to Changsun Wuji, bowed his arms to the ground, and said respectfully: "I have met Duke Zhao Guo."
Changsun Wuji raised his hand, with a gentle face, and said calmly: "Why do you need so much courtesy, Lord? Please take a seat."
"Thank you."
The middle-aged man thanked him, then stood up, sat calmly on a chair on one side, leaned slightly, and sighed with shame: "The dog is incompetent, and he abandoned the army and returned to the city when a powerful enemy attacked. This crime cannot be forgiven. Although there are reasons for the onset of illness and the need for treatment, he cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty. We also ask Zhao Guogong to enforce the law impartially. The Wei family has no complaints. "
This person is Wei Qingsi, the Duke of Pengcheng County.
He is less than 50 years old, and he looks polite and calm, and his words are sincere, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.
Yu Wenjie on the side curled his lips and lowered his head in silence.
Although the words sounded nice, they were all about shirking responsibility. Although he admitted his guilt, he only admitted the crime of "dereliction of duty", not the crime of "escape from battle". There is a huge difference between the two crimes. Besides, if you are really willing to plead guilty, why would you, a county official, need to go all the way?
After all, no matter how serious the crime Wei Zhengju committed, no matter how angry Changsun Wuji was, there was absolutely no way he could be pushed out and beheaded...
As a father, if you want your son to succeed, you still care about his son's career and career, and you don't want to bear a stain that can never be washed away.
Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, and when the clerk offered him tea, he signaled Wei Qingsi to drink tea.
Wei Qingsi smiled warmly and was not embarrassed at all by Changsun Wuji's lack of response to his request. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup and took a sip.
Changsun Wuji also took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "It's not because I'm being harsh, but it's actually the mistake your son has made this time, which cannot be forgiven. At the moment, our clan is trying our best, even if we have to sacrifice our family and business, we must also help the country." , to bring order out of chaos, but the East Palace is powerful and has a house Jun has rushed thousands of miles to help, and now the troops and horses are strong, and the situation in Guanlong is in danger. At this time, if I indulge your son, the morale of the army will plummet, everyone will be angry, and the morale of the army will be shaken. I hope the prince can understand my painstaking efforts. ”
He had indeed planned to severely punish Wei Zhengju before, to avoid past mistakes and to boost military prestige, but now that Wei Qingsi has come in person, he must give him this face.
Moreover, given Wei Qingsi's status in the Wei family, his coming in person this time represents a completely different meaning, and it is by no means as simple as Wei Zhengju's father...
Speaking of which, Jingzhao Webster is still a behemoth in Guanzhong. It has deep entanglements with the clans in Guanzhong, Hedong, Hexi, and even Shandong, Jiangnan and other places, and its interests are involved. Offending Jingzhao Weishi will deepen the split that has already occurred within Guanlong. On the contrary, if he gets the full help of Jingzhao Weishi, Guanlong will definitely increase in strength.
Again, even though Guan Long has been the leader of the Changsun family for decades, compared with those gentry clans that have been passed down for hundreds of years, it can only be regarded as a "temporary gain". When it comes to the real background, it is still much shallower.
Jingzhao Weishi was such a gentry clan. Like Hongnong Yang clan, Taiyuan Wang clan and other gentry clans, they had controlled Guanlong for hundreds of years, so it was no small matter to hide their strength. It seems that powerful figures such as Fang Jun can overwhelm these clans with the power of their hands, but that is just because the clans do not want to use all their strength to compete. Once these clans with long heritage and deep strength make up their minds to fight to the death, the power they unleash will be enough to annihilate Fang Jun.
Wei Qingsi nodded and said sternly: "For the sake of the well-being of all families in Guanlong, the Duke of Guo did not hesitate to bear the infamy and go against the will of heaven. This act should be an example for us! As a member of Guanlong, we have always been under the care of the Duke of Guanlong. , how can we sit back and enjoy the success? We should do our part to express our determination to advance and retreat together with the public!”
On the side, Yu Wenjie's heart jumped suddenly. Is Jingzhao Weishi planning to completely surrender to Changsun Wuji? It should be noted that the philosophy of life of the aristocratic family is to "play both ways" and "leave a thin line", and they are easily unwilling to go all out. Because when your strength is exhausted, it is difficult to turn back. Once your strategy is wrong, you will be doomed.
For a family that has been passed down for a long time, prosperity is important, but survival is fundamental. As long as the family is still there, rise will be a matter of time, but if the family business disappears and the descendants wither, there is no hope...
Changsun Wuji looked calm as usual, but his heart was severely shaken.
He was not surprised that Jingzhao Weishi offered all his help. What shocked him was, why did Jingzhao Weishi make such a desperate decision at this time?
Obviously, Wei Qingsi came to the door in person and said these words. It was definitely not his own initiative, but represented the will of the entire Jingzhao Weishi. However, for aristocratic families, it is taboo to go all out. No matter how dangerous the situation is, they should still have both sides. Therefore, even if one person in Guanlong has tried his best, Changsun Wuji will not feel dissatisfied.
But now Wei Qingsi's statement made him feel panicked that the situation was out of control...
Something must have happened to make Jingzhao Webster make such a decision!
Although this decision seems to be beneficial to Guan Long, otherwise Jingzhao Webster would not support it so unreservedly, but for scheming heroes like Changsun Wuji, strong enemies are not scary, and the unknown is the biggest The danger!
Changsun Wuji stared at Wei Qingsi with hawk-like eyes, and asked slowly: "Have you discussed the Duke's words with Tianbao and Tianguang?"
"Tianbao" is the name of Wei Yuancheng, the father of Concubine Wei, and "Tianguang" is the name of Wei Yuancheng, Wei Yuancheng's brother and the former consort of Princess Fengning of the Sui Dynasty. Both of them came from Jingzhao Wei's Yun Gongfang. The former was the father of the imperial concubine and the father-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, and the latter had a high prestige in the clan. If there is the approval of these two people, then Wei Qingsi's words are the decision of the Jingzhao Wei family. Otherwise, it is just the effort of the Jingzhao Wei family's East Household, and the difference is huge...

All aristocratic families have a characteristic, that is, they like to trace their ancestors back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties or even the Yan and Huang dynasties, in order to prove how glorious their ancestors are and how long their bloodline is.
However, due to the earth-shaking social changes during the Qin and Han dynasties, a large number of historical books and historical evidence have been lost. Almost all famous families talk to themselves about their ancestral origins, lacking confirmation, but they do not expose each other, so how many of them are really there? It is difficult to know that the aristocratic family comes from the "nobles".
However, it is true that some aristocratic families are indeed very powerful, able to pass on for thousands of years and survive hundreds of years of vicissitudes, such as Jingzhao Weishi...
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Meng, the ancestor of the Wei family, was appointed as the Taifu of Liu Jiao, King of Chu Yuan, and assisted his descendants for three generations. However, Liu Wu, the grandson of King Chu Yuan, was dissolute and immoral, and launched the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" with Wu King Liu Bi. Seeing that it was difficult to carve rotten wood, Meng wrote poems and satirized his duties as a monarch and his ministers. Then he resigned and moved his family to Zoulu area in Shandong Province.
Wei Meng was proficient in Lu's "Poetry" and passed it down as a family tradition. His "Satire on Remonstration Poems" and "Zaizou Poems" have been passed down to the world, showing the feelings of virtuous ministers.
When Wei Xian, the great-great-great-grandson of Wei Meng, not only studied the "Poetry" of Lu, which was handed down from his family, he was also proficient in "Li" and "Shangshu". His reputation for erudition was known all over the world, so he was recruited as a doctor, given to Shizhong, and later became the Young Master of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Fu, Taifu, official to Dahonglu. After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Wei Xian and General Huo Guang supported Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne, and were granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. Later, Wei Xian moved to the rank of prime minister and was granted the title of Marquis of Fuyang. This was the beginning of the Wei family in Jingzhao.
Except for Wei Xian's third son who stayed in Zou Lu, the rest of his descendants moved to Chang'an. The fourth son, Wei Xuancheng, inherited the title of Fuyang Marquis and became prime minister. Wei Xuancheng's nephew was also later granted the title of marquis. Three generations of his family were granted the title of marquis four times. The Jingzhao Wei family had taken root in the imperial city and had become a prominent family in Guanzhong. (End of chapter)
