Chapter 437: Minister of Works Wei Yuanqian
As the capital city was in turmoil, everyone had to make plans for themselves and their families. Everyone knew that the stability of the capital city was only temporary.
After all, half of the capital's food and drink relied on canal transport, and half relied on land transportation by merchants.
However, after the kings Ning Yuwentai, Duan Yuwenyong, Rui Yuwenjie, An Yuwenqian, Yu Yuwentuo, and Kang Yuwenkang declared independence, the capital was almost isolated. Grain and grass from all over the country could not be transported to the capital.
The grain and fodder that Yuwen Yong had previously stockpiled were mainly for use by the army, so it was naturally impossible for him to give them to the common people.
After all, the army is the foundation of his existence.
In this way, the ministers could only do their own thing and try to survive.
Not to mention those who had already defected to the other kings, the other neutral and royalist factions were also against the late emperor.
After all, although Yuwen Yong's throne was determined by the will of the previous emperor, who couldn't see the trick behind it?
It was just that they didn't want to disturb the situation that had been stabilized with great difficulty. In addition, with what Yuwen Yong had done in the past few days, it was normal for all officials to be alienated.
Wei Yuanqian, the Minister of Works, was born with a good appearance, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he still looked like a handsome man. With three strands of beautiful beard, he was definitely a handsome uncle. Who would have thought that he was the Minister of Works?
Don't you have to do the Ministry of Industry's work yourself?
His wife, Qiu Wanru, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, a prominent family in Hedong Road, is even more beautiful and well-maintained. In her fifties, she still has beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, and skin as white as cream. She looks no more than thirty years old, and has a more elegant and noble demeanor.
Wei Canyan, the eldest son of the Wei family, inherited the handsome appearance of his father, Mr. Wei, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a face like a jade. He is tall and straight, with a majestic demeanor, and exudes a sense of majesty and confidence in his every move.
Wei Yuanqian may have suffered enough from the hardships in the Ministry of Industry and did not want Wei Canyan to continue staying there, so he did not train his son in the Ministry of Industry, but instead gave him comprehensive training since childhood.
Wei Canyan can be said to be both civil and military.
However, Wei Canyan seemed to be a little too biased and went straight to take the military examination.
After passing the military examination, one would usually report to the Ministry of War after a period of time, which was called "Gao Shen", which meant obtaining the qualification to be an official. Subsequently, one would be granted the corresponding official position based on his performance in the military examination at that time.
The first one, called the top martial arts scholar, would usually be awarded the rank of third-rank guards. The second and third place winners would be awarded the rank of fourth-rank guards, which is just below the top martial arts scholar. The next ten people would be awarded the rank of fifth-rank guards, and the next sixteen people would be awarded the rank of sixth-rank blue-feather guards. The rest would be kept as reserves.
Wei Canyan actually won the title of Tanhua, which shocked everyone in the capital.
Finally, Wei Canyan was directly awarded the rank of Fourth-Rank Imperial Guard. Now he is training in the Beijing Camp, and happened to have escaped the catastrophe of the change of imperial power.
Wei Canyan's wife is Yuan Mengke, the eldest daughter of Yuan Longchang, the Marshal of the Beijing Camp. She has been disguised as a man and followed her father in the military camp since she was a child. She and Wei Canyan are acquainted with each other through fighting.
The second son, Wei Cankun, is more elegant, graceful, and gentle, just like a scholar. There is a bookish air between his eyebrows, which makes people feel at a glance that he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
Wei Cankun also participated in the imperial examination in the 23rd year of Rende, and passed the first place in the exam. After that, he entered the Hanlin Academy with Zuo Enping. Now he is also a reader in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official.
Wei Cankun's wife is Tang Yuxuan, the daughter of Hanlin scholar Tang Yijun.
Zuo Enping's wife is Zhou Bijun, the daughter of Zhou Jierui, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
The wives of Tang Yiyun and Zhou Jierui are both legitimate daughters of the Hao family's branch in Minzhou, Lingnan Province - Hao Jingxuan and Hao Jingyan.
Wei Canruo, as the only legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works, was very beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, as soft and delicate as mutton-fat jade; her eyes were as bright as stars, with intelligence and agility in her eyes; her lips were as soft and delicate as cherries; her eyes were as bright as stars, with intelligence and agility in her eyes; her lips were as red as cherries.
The third son, Wei Canrong, was born to his aunt, but he was also handsome and delicate, but his eyes always flashed with a cunning light, which made people wary. It was not known whether he was resentful of the Wei Mansion because of his aunt's affairs.
As for the grandchildren of the Wei family, each of them has his own strengths.
The eldest grandson, Wei Yihan, had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a heroic look, as if he was born to be a leader. His eyes were firm and sharp, making people dare not look directly at him.
The second eldest grandson, Wei Yiru, has a face as white as powder, eyes as bright as stars, an elegant temperament, and gives people a feeling as gentle as jade.
The concubine's grandson Wei Yichen was born with a fair and delicate complexion, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, just like the handsome man in the painting.
The granddaughters of the Wei family were also as beautiful as flowers. Although the oldest, Wei Yiran, was only eleven or twelve years old, she was still very charming.
The eldest granddaughter, Wei Yiran, is slender and graceful, with a beauty like a fairy, skin whiter than snow, eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like autumn water, and every frown and smile of hers is touching.
The second granddaughter, Wei Yishang, is as beautiful as a peony in full bloom, graceful and elegant, with a variety of manners.
The illegitimate granddaughter Wei Yiwan is a typical beautiful girl from a small family. She has beautiful eyes, a charming smile, and a slender and charming figure, just like a fresh lily, exuding a faint fragrance that makes people want to protect her.
But if you look closely, you will occasionally see a deep light flashing in the depths of Wei Yiwan's eyes, which is far from her cute and lovely appearance.
Wei Canruo married the second son of the Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Works and the Minister of Justice, as their sons and daughters, naturally stood together.
Wei Canruo went straight back to her parents' home to bring Wei Yihan, Wei Yiru, Wei Yiran and Wei Yishang to the residence of the Minister of Justice, and Hao Jingxuan and Hao Jingyan naturally went along.
Of course, in the end, Wei Yihan, Wei Yiru, Wei Yiran, and Wei Yishang were secretly sent out along with the grandchildren of the Zuo family.
It was a dark and windy night. Wei Canruo and her personal maid Dongmai carefully drove a very inconspicuous carriage back to her parents' home to meet her two sisters-in-law Hao Jingxuan and Hao Jingyan.
They walked lightly, as if they were afraid of waking someone up. They gently pushed open the door, and the room was dark, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window. The three of them did not dare to light a lamp, but only relied on the faint moonlight to illuminate the room.
They walked to the bed and looked at Wei Yihan, Wei Yiru, Wei Yiran and Wei Yishang who were sleeping soundly, their hearts filled with reluctance.
The two sisters gently stroked their faces, feeling their warmth. They knew that after this separation, they didn't know when they would see each other again. But if they didn't leave, staying would probably mean death.
Wei Canruo, along with her personal maids Dongmai, Hao Jingxuan and Hao Jingyan, quietly picked up the four children and wrapped them tightly in blankets. Their eyes were full of determination and resoluteness. This was for the safety of the children, and they had to do it.
They quietly opened the door, looked outside, and after making sure that there was no one outside, they took the children into the carriage and headed for the Minister of Justice's residence.
Along the way, they carefully avoided everyone, praying silently in their hearts not to be discovered.
Finally, they all arrived safely at the Minister of Justice's Mansion.
Mai Dong knocked gently on the door, and it opened quickly. When the family of the Minister of Justice saw her and the children, they were immediately relieved. They quickly took the children in and closed the door as if nothing had happened.
Only after the children were safely taken away did Hao Jingxuan and Hao Jingyan finally feel relieved. They took a deep breath, turned around and left the Shangshu Mansion, disappearing into the darkness.
