Chapter 122: Removal of Title, Drinking at Guangyuntai

Yang Huairen returned to the Divine Cavalry Army for the time being.

Wei Yuan asked him to go to Fanlou for a drink after the court session.

He was accompanied by his confidants who followed him from Daizhou to the capital.

Xu Changzhi said, "Whenever you want to drink, go to Fanlou. Can we change the place tonight?"

Wei Yuan was puzzled and said, "Is there any better restaurant than Fanlou in the whole Bianjing?"

Xu Changzhi smiled and said, "Brother Wei, what delicacies have we not eaten? No matter how good the food and wine in Fanlou are, it will be just like that after going there too many times."

Wei Yuan said, "When you choose a place, remember to call Yang Huairen. He is a good candidate."

Xu Changzhi said with a look of success, "Then it's settled. I'll choose the place. You are not allowed to regret it."

Wei Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Can you still eat me out of money?"

Xu Changzhi said, "It won't be a big deal. If the Duke of England and his wife and the Zhang family know about it, you may be in trouble."

"But it's not a big deal. I believe that Brother Wei can solve it with his ability."

Wei Yuan was even more confused. Is there any place in the whole capital that I can't go to?

Except the palace.

Wei Yuan looked at the list of names in the Ma Jun Division for a while, and then paid attention to a few people, and then left all the affairs of the Ma Jun Division to Xu Changzhi.

He returned to the Bo Mansion to select some trustworthy servants for his second sister.

As soon as Wei Yuan left, Chen Aniu, who was following Xu Changzhi, asked:

"Where are we going tonight?"

Xu Changzhi looked at Chen Yuanzhi seriously and asked with a smile:

"You have been to a brothel in the capital for so long, have you been to a brothel?"

Brothel?

Chen Yuanzhi immediately shook his head and said, "I haven't been there, and I don't want to go."

Xu Changzhi winked and said, "Do you not want to go, or does your brother Wei not let you go?"

Chen Yuanzhi looked embarrassed.

We are all men, it would be a lie to say that we don't want to go.

Seeing him like this, Xu Changzhi couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Tonight, I'll take you to see the biggest place in the world of Bianjing."

Chen Yuanzhi blurted out: "Guangyuntai?"

Xu Changzhi was surprised and said: "How do you know?"

Chen Yuanzhi laughed.

Xu Changzhi shook his head and said, "You are such a great guy, you still say you don't want to go? After coming to the capital, you have asked about Guangyuntai a lot, right? Tell the truth, have you been there?"

Chen Yuanzhi hurriedly said, "I dare not go, I dare not go. How much is my monthly salary? I borrowed a lot of money from Brother Wei to buy a house in the capital. I don't know how to pay it back. How dare I go there?"

Xu Changzhi patted his shoulder, "Your brother Wei will treat you tonight, have fun, this opportunity is rare."

Chen Yuanzhi was confused and said, "Brother Wei has always disliked that kind of occasion, can you go with him?"

Xu Changzhi said, "He has never been there, how can he know that he doesn't like it? Only after he goes there can he know whether he should go often in the future."

——

It is said that Yongping Bo was still unwilling to be expelled from the army by Wei Yuan.

So he simply went to the palace to meet the emperor and reported the matter to Zhao Zhen.

However, Zhao Zhen threw some evidence of his crimes collected by the Imperial City Department in front of his face and said angrily:

"Neglect of duty, nepotism, corruption, usury, all kinds of evidence, ironclad evidence, what else do you have to quibble?"

When Yongping Bo saw these evidences, he was dumbfounded,

"Your Majesty, your minister. Your Majesty."

He stuttered for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Zhao Zhen was too lazy to say anything to him, and said:

"From today on, there will be no Yongping Bo in the Great Zhou, get out of my palace!"

Yongping Bo was completely stunned.

If he had known earlier, he would not have come!

Now it's good, not only did the emperor not order Wei Yuan to take back his order.

Instead, he lost his title.

From then on, their lineage became commoners!

"Your Majesty, please show mercy, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"

Yongping Bo shouted.

However, once the golden words are spoken, there is no turning back.

Everything was too late.

The Earl of Yongping was dragged down by the guards and thrown out of the palace.

As for the house of the Earl of Yongping, it was naturally taken back by Zhao Zhen.

Queen Cao asked: "Did you really remove a Earl for Wei Yuan?"

Zhao Zhen said: "First, the Earl of Yongping should be stripped of his title."

"Second, the new army is about to be established, and Wei Yuan is the commander of the new army. He will inevitably encounter many difficulties in the future."

"The Earl of Yongping offended Wei Qing, and privately, he also found several censors to jointly impeach Wei Qing."

"If I don't deal with the Earl of Yongping seriously, then in the future, I don't know how many people will attack Wei Qing by taking advantage of the new army."

"I will remove the Earl of Yongping's title to help Wei Qing, so that some people who want to get involved in the new army can have some scruples."

The establishment of a new army will inevitably affect the interests of many parties.

Let alone the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and those military meritorious children, it is a headache.

The formation of a new army was highly valued by the emperor, and military heroes would do their best to get involved.

As for the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, it goes without saying that once pressure is put on Wei Yuan, food, wages, and organization will become problems.

In the past, Zhao Zhen did form a new army, but the results were not ideal.

This time, he wanted to hand over all power to Wei Yuan.

Let the warriors who fought in the battlefield train and form a new army, or he could achieve the effect he wanted.

But this would inevitably affect the interests of many parties.

As an emperor, you have to be exposed to both rain and dew, so by removing the earldom of Yongping, some people understand that Wei Yuan cannot be provoked.

Only in this way will the plan to form a new army not encounter setbacks and obstacles.

Queen Cao understood what he meant.

In any case, based on the things Yong Ping Bo did, he should indeed be expelled from his title.

The news of Uncle Yongping's removal soon reached the ears of civil and military officials and nobles.

They were all glad that they did not risk offending Wei Yuan by choosing to help each other.

At the same time, they all also had a deep respect for Wei Yuan.

"Your Majesty, you actually want to deprive one uncle of another uncle's title?"

"Wei Yuan is more than just a Jian in the Emperor's heart! He can't be a wanderer who has been separated for many years. Hiss! What is Wei Yuan's background?"

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to Wei Yuan, to this extent? Han Wu and Huo Qubing are just like that, right? Or even more!"

"."

The shock from many forces and officials directly lifted Wei Yuan to a new height.

Among the younger generation, except Wei Yuan, who would dare to say that he is in the emperor's heart and deeply favored by the emperor?

Compared with Wei Yuan, is it worthy?

It was also from this moment on, no matter the civil servants or military generals, as long as they heard about Wei Yuan.

They all try their best to say the best.

Few people dare to speak ill of Wei Yuan.

There is no way, their Emperor loves Wei Yuan too much. This love is very deep, far exceeding the emperor's love for Di Qing back then!

After Sheng Hong heard about Uncle Yongping's dismissal, he immediately brought some gifts and rushed to Uncle Zhongyong's house without stopping. He happened to see Wei Yuan who had just returned from Ma Junsi and bowed solemnly:

"Brother Yuan and Uncle Wei, according to your instructions, I have severely punished Lin Sushuang and his wife."

"I guess they won't be able to get out of bed and walk in the next half year."

"I wonder if Uncle Wei is satisfied with this punishment?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Sister, when did you learn to be so polite?"

As soon as he heard the word "sister", Sheng Hong laughed and said:

"It's not because I'm afraid you're still angry about that matter."

Wei Yuan felt funny, "Do you think I'm very idle? I have to get angry every day because of these things?"

If you are angry because of state affairs, that's fine.

It's just trivial matters, not worth it.

Sheng Hong said quickly: "Yes, yes, brother Yuan, you have so many things to do every day. You are tired of national and military matters all day long, so naturally you won't pay attention to such small things."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Sister, are you here today? Do you have anything else to do?"

Sheng Hong looked embarrassed and said, "No more."

Wei Yuan nodded, "Let's go and sit in the house for a while. It just so happens that Ming Yatou is accompanying her aunt."

Sheng Hong said: "That would be disrespectful."

If you really didn't even enter the uncle's mansion gate, it would be a shame for you.

After a while, Sheng Hong told Minglan a few words, "Don't cause trouble for your uncle when you are here," and then found an excuse to leave.

After hearing this, Wei Yuan said to Minglan: "Your father is willing to act like a father to you no matter where he is."

Minglan smiled and said: "I'm used to it. My father has always been like this, but he has a good heart."

After a while.

Xu Changzhi, Chen Yuanzhi, Yang Huairen and others left the office and all came to Uncle Zhongyong's house to ask Wei Yuan to have a drink.

At this time, Minglan was playing with Brother Chang and Brother Mu. When she saw so many people coming, including many familiar figures, she smiled and said:

"It's so late at night, where do you want to ask my uncle to go have a drink?"

Chen Yuanzhi glanced at Minglan and said honestly and honestly: "Miss Minglan is here too, going to Guangyuntai."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan, who was drinking tea, spit out all the tea in his mouth.

Minglan's eyes widened, she looked at Wei Yuan first, then at Chen Yuanzhi,

"Where to go? Guangyuntai?"

After a pause, Minglan asked Wei Yuan again:

"Uncle, does aunt know this?"
