Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Also coming with him was Wei Ting's son Wei Daijia.

Since Wei Ting's death, Wei Ting's branch has been supported by Wei Daijia, and life has finally improved.

But after just a few days, it's going down again.

"Everyone, please be patient," Wei Siyan bowed to several people.

"Everyone, you may have misunderstood. This time, my uncle was also acting on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

It’s not what you think.”

"Is it the order of His Royal Highness Prince Ji?" Wei Yuanfang, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, asked in surprise.

Others were also a little surprised. Is there anyone who would impeach himself?

"That's right, everyone. Although I am not talented, I am not an ungrateful person. I know the principle of repaying the kindness of others with gratitude.

"At the beginning, His Royal Highness Prince Ji personally recommended me and showed me great kindness. How could I do such a thing?"

Wei Siqian nodded and explained to everyone.

Everyone was relieved.

"Si Qian, if something like this happens next time, please let us know in advance so that we don't have to worry." Wei Yuanfang said.

"Yes, Siqian, if you had informed me in advance, I would have been almost scared to death by you." Wei Deqian, the elder of the Xijuan clan, echoed.

"I was covered in cold sweat in the court." Palace Supervisor Wei Hongji wiped his forehead.

The scene became relaxed and joyful.

"Si Qian, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is far away in Xizhou. What did he tell you?" Wei Huaijing asked with satisfaction.

"Siyan told me." Wei Siqian looked at Wei Siyan.

Wei Siyan smiled lightly upon hearing this and said to everyone:

"Everyone, not long ago, His Royal Highness Prince Ji sent someone to deliver a letter, which mentioned this matter and asked me to inform my uncle.

After the news reached Chang'an, he was impeached.

Although I didn't know the reason, since His Royal Highness Prince Ji said so, there must be a reason for it, so I told my uncle and let today's incident go.

And His Royal Highness Prince Ji said in the letter that I will return the money that the Wei family took out to the Wei family later."

"No, no, no, we can't take this money." Wei Renji quickly shook his head.

"Yes, Siyan, we can't take this money. Since our Wei family officials have made mistakes, they should be punished.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji showed mercy and spared his life, which is already a great favor.

This time we are also teaching him a lesson. How can we have the nerve to ask for this money? Isn't this embarrassing for us?"

Wei Hongji also refused, and the others nodded in agreement.

It's just a few tens of thousands of strings of cash. How embarrassing would it be to take it back?

Not to mention that Ying would not affect the relationship between her and Prince Ji, even this behavior was embarrassing.

An official of the Wei family was punished for corruption and bribery in Xizhou, and now he wants the money to be returned. This is not a good idea.

After hearing this, Wei Siyan did not force it.

"Since everyone has said so, then forget it. When His Royal Highness Prince Ji returns, I will report this matter to His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

Uncles, Siyan is also a member of the Wei family, and there are some things I don’t know whether I should say or not. "

Looking at everyone, Wei Siyan's expression became serious.

"Siyan, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. There are no outsiders here."

Seeing Wei Siyan so serious, the others also became serious.

"Uncles, what I want to talk about is the future of my Wei family."

"The future of the Wei family?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Wei Siqian's words.

"Yes, what will happen to my Wei family in the future?

As everyone has seen, over the past decade or so, all the major aristocratic families, the Shandong gentry, and the Jiangnan gentry have all begun to decline.

It is not obvious in smaller families, but the five surnames and the gentry in Guanzhong are particularly prominent.

In the officialdom, nearly half of the local officials from the five surnames and Shandong gentry have been replaced, and the court is struggling to survive.

Over the years, His Majesty and the Crown Prince have promoted children from poor families under various excuses, and everyone has seen it. The reason why my Wei family has been least affected is that

I don't need to explain the reason, everyone understands it, that's because the Imperial Concubine was here, so His Majesty showed mercy.

As for family business, ever since Prince Ji left the palace at the age of nine, the businesses of various forces have been compressed and reduced.

Most of the wealth of the aristocratic families was also defrauded, and what was left were only some farmland and industries that had nothing to do with the Prince Ji's Palace.

It was only because the King of Age had not taken action in the past two years that the various forces were able to catch their breath. "

Wei Siyan paused here, and the others nodded along with Wei Siyan's narration. The current situation was indeed as Wei Siyan said.

All major forces have been greatly affected, and the key among them is King Ji.

Prince Ji controls all the merchants in the Tang Dynasty. There is a popular saying in the business world: Prince Ji has the final say on whether the business world in the Tang Dynasty is in chaos or not.

At the beginning, their Wei family also suffered greatly and almost became like the other families.

"Si Yan, just say whatever you want to say. We are all members of the Wei family, and our goal is to make our Wei family better."

Wei Renji spoke up.

“What I want to say is that I hope my Wei family can see the situation clearly in the future and not become enemies with Prince Ji again.

As long as we follow the footsteps of Prince Ji's Mansion, why shouldn't our Wei Family worry about not becoming stronger?

But the premise is that we can't always think about power. It's good enough for our Wei family to have a seat in the court. Don't think about going any further.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji does not want and will not allow any family to control the court.

The officialdom is treacherous. If we make a mistake, our Wei family will be doomed. Why not become a rich man and live a life of wealth and glory?"

Wei Siyan's words were so powerful that they made everyone fall into deep thought. The aristocratic families were in decline, and they saw an opportunity.

They wanted to reach a higher level and have a say in the court, so they came up with the idea of asking Concubine Wei to recommend them.

However, he unexpectedly backfired and offended King Ji.

But among all the major forces, who doesn’t want their family to grow stronger?

"Si Yan, do you mean that you want us to withdraw from the court and just become a big businessman?" Wei Hongji asked with a frown.

"This is impossible. Siyan, you should know that power and wealth are symbiotic. Without power, how can my Wei family protect its wealth?"

Wei Daijia also followed suit.

He shook his head:

"No, I didn't say that the Wei family should withdraw from the court. They should still have the rights they deserve.

Just like now, my Wei family also has more than a dozen officials in the court, and that is enough.

As long as you do well, you may be able to go further.

His Highness Prince Ji once told us brothers that if we want to be an official, we must first consider ourselves as an official.

As a minister, you must be loyal to your majesty, and then consider your family. This will allow you to walk more steadily in your official career."

After Wei Siyan finished speaking, he looked at everyone. As a member of the Wei family, this was all he could say. As for whether anyone listened to it or not, that was not his concern.

I can say all this because we are all members of the Wei family.

Just as King Ji said, what they are considering now is their Yungong House, and nothing else matters.

(Yesterday, I had a debate online. You said, is 大父 the same as 研究生 (grandfather)?

Yesterday someone actually said that it was my father's idea and that this name is used in the southwest region.

Are there any book friends from the southwest region? Is this true?)
