Chapter 687 Suppressing the Emperor (third watch)

Where the armor was found, Wei Ting didn't say anything. It was about the relics of the previous dynasty.

The Wei family is already well-educated at the moment, and some things don't need to be said out loud.

If Leng Ziling was still alive, he might have informed the Leng family about this.

But he wasn't afraid that the Leng family would jump out and report that he had taken Wei Xu's battle armor and the relics of the previous dynasty, not to mention whether the Leng family knew that the box contained the relics of the previous dynasty, so what if they knew?

Did they dare to say it?

They took the remnants of their father's picture, and instead of handing it over to His Majesty, they held it in their hands, clearly wanting to keep the treasure for themselves.

Emperor Jingxuan promoted the Leng family because the Leng family was obedient. Once the Leng family was disobedient, it would be the next Wei family.

Leng's family didn't have the guts to gamble.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at Wei Ting with a complicated expression, and his hands on the dragon chair tightened.

"You said that you went south to find your father, did you already determine the whereabouts of General Wei Xu?"

It was Xiao Chonghua who asked the question.

Wei Ting said without changing his face: "After my father escaped, He Lianye followed all the way and found a few items from Southern Xinjiang where the clues were broken."

Xiao Chonghua said: "So you suspect that General Wei Xu was taken to southern Xinjiang."

Wei Ting said: "That's right."

Xiao Chonghua asked suspiciously: "But... why did the people from southern Xinjiang arrest General Wei Xu?"

Wei Ting said truthfully: "I don't know, that's why I want to find out the truth."

Xiao Chonghua looked up at Emperor Jingxuan on the dragon chair, and said solemnly: "Father, there are many doubts about this matter. If General Wei Xu really falls into the hands of Nanjiang people, Nanjiang's intentions will have to be guarded against."

A veteran said disdainfully: "Southern Xinjiang is just a land of barbarians, so what if you have intentions? You can't be afraid of them!"

There is also a chain of contempt between countries. Western Jin and Wei are big countries, located at the top of power. Great Zhou and Northern Yan are not like these two countries, and we need to look up to them, while Southern Xinjiang is just a small country composed of dozens of barbarian tribes. In contrast, Da Zhou's sense of superiority came out.

Xiao Chonghua said unhurriedly: "That was the Southern Border in the past, and now the Southern Border has unified all the tribes and small countries in Nanjun. The terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is an excellent place to raise troops, if there is ambition in southern Xinjiang, there will be endless troubles!"

The Minister of Honglu Temple has not spoken, but his brows are wrinkled and wrinkled.

Emperor Jingxuan noticed his strangeness: "Master Honglusi, do you have something to announce?"

Honghe Temple is in charge of diplomatic relations with various countries, and most of the performances that the minister of Honghe Temple wants to play are related to news from other countries.

Emperor Jingxuan thought that Beiyan had come to sue for peace, but he didn't know it was from Nanjiang.

Emperor Jingxuan's face sank: "What did you say? Proposal?"

Honglu Temple's official said: "Yes, the king of Nanjiang begs to marry a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty for his son."

It was the old general who spoke again: "Hmph, I think the king of Southern Border is dreaming. How can I marry a noble princess of the Zhou Dynasty to a barbarian land?"

The minister of Honglu Temple knew that there was nothing to do, and he didn't intend to say it in the court. He just wanted to hand in a memorial, explain it and wait for Emperor Jingxuan to reject it.

It was Wei Ting who mentioned that General Wei Xu might be in southern Xinjiang today, so he hesitated to mention it by the way.

Emperor Jingxuan could not agree to marry his daughter to such a ghostly place, even the daughter of a minister. If there is news that the princess of the Great Zhou was married to a barbarian place, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the nations.

Emperor Jingxuan didn't care about the marriage proposal in southern Xinjiang at all. What really troubled him was Wei Ting's going south to find his father.

Wei Ting said: "Your Majesty was in the imperial study room yesterday and asked the minister for his great achievements. He wanted to reward him heavily. He asked him what he wanted, but he didn't want anything. He only wanted to find his father."

Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched: You said yesterday that you have nothing to ask for!

Wei Ting had just made great contributions at the border. At this time, he proposed to find his father. In front of all civil and military officials, can Emperor Jingxuan refuse to agree? Do you still want Mingjun's character design?

Emperor Jingxuan said: "But your injury has not healed..."

Wei Ting said solemnly: "I am eager to find my father, so what is this little injury?"

The courtiers nodded one after another, showing filial piety, how could it not be moving?

"Your Majesty, let Wei Ting find General Wei Xu."

"I implore General Wei Xu to return to court!"

"Ministers, I implore General Wei Xu to return to the court!"

Both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded for Wei Ting and Wei Xu's orders. Emperor Jingxuan could not oppose the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so he could only agree.

Out of the palace, Wei Ting got into the carriage of the Wei family.

Old Hou Ye and Su Yuan were also sitting inside.

The two of them deliberately asked for leave today not to go to court. Others can plead for Wei Ting, but Qin and Su have to temporarily avoid the limelight.

"Has Your Majesty promised you to go to southern Xinjiang?" Su Yuan asked.

"Agreed." Wei Ting said, "Thank you uncle and uncle."

Old Hou Ye and Su Yuanming did not go to the court on the surface, but they secretly ordered one or two. Those who jumped out first to plead for Wei Ting's order were all greeted by them.

Old Hou Ye sighed: "It can only help you get here, any more will be counterproductive."

Wei Ting nodded: "I understand."

"Today is considered to be a face-to-face with His Majesty, and there is no turning back." The old Hou Ye looked at Wei Ting: "I hope your deduction is correct. Your father is still alive and in southern Xinjiang."

Su Yuan said: "Whether Wei Xu is in southern Xinjiang or not, we must go for Wei Qing."

"Yes." Old Hou Ye said to Wei Ting, "Where are you going to go from?"

Wei Ting thought for a while, and said: "Go to Qingzhou and go south, and take Xiaoxiao back to worship the ancestors along the way, and offer incense to the mother."

Su Ergou and Su Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, were buried in the countryside of Qingzhou. At first, they were not sure about Su Cheng's identity. Now that Su Cheng has recognized his ancestors, Mrs. Chen should actually move her grave.

They planned to move the coffin of the Chen family back to the capital when they came back from southern Xinjiang, and set up a stone tablet for the Duke Hu's wife to be buried in the Qin family's geomantic land.

Old Hou Ye sighed sadly: "It should be like this, alas, that child is also a poor man."

Although Mrs. Chen was born in the countryside, she had parents and elder brothers. She should have lived a good life, but she was not regarded as a person since she was a child. She finally got married and passed away after a few years.

Old Master Hou patted Wei Ting on the shoulder: "It's good to go and see your mother."

It is decided that Wei Ting will go to southern Xinjiang.

Wei Qing also accompanied him. He was a counselor in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Jingxuan had no control over his whereabouts.

Li Wan was reluctant to part with him, fearing that this farewell would be another forever farewell.

Wei Qing looked at her tenderly: "Don't worry, I will be back."

Wei Xiyue also couldn't bear to part with her father, she sat on Wei Qing's lap, hugging his neck tightly with her little hands.

Wei Qing lovingly stroked her little head: "Daddy will miss Xiyue too."

Old Madam Wei sat in the room, thinking that the children had to leave again, and felt very distressed: "I haven't been back for a few days, and I have to leave Beijing again. My lonely old lady is always deserted."

Wei Ting squeezed his grandmother's hand: "Don't worry about me, my little injury is fine."

Old Madam Wei glared at him, and took his hand away in disgust: "Who is worried about you? I am worried about my granddaughter-in-law and little great-grandson!"

Wei Ting looked hurt: Grandma, you have changed, you don't love Xiao Qi anymore.

In the evening, Emperor Jingxuan's imperial decree arrived, ordering Wei Ting to find General Wei Xu. In addition, Emperor Jingxuan also arranged for a prince to accompany him.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is it Xiao Duye?"

Wei Ting stared at the imperial decree and said: "Xiao Shunyang."
