Chapter 260: Become the King?!
With his father-in-law and mother-in-law present, Wei Yuan naturally did not dare to make any mistakes. After putting Zhang Guifen down from his arms, he respectfully bowed to Zhang Fu and his wife:
"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhang Guifen hid behind Wei Yuan, blushing with shame.
Zhang Fu smiled awkwardly and said: "You are so old, why are you still acting like a child? There are no rules."
After saying that, he looked at each other and smiled at Mrs. Zhang.
Standing behind the two elders were sisters Wei Shuyi and Minglan.
The latter came to Wei Yuan happily, saluted with a smile and said:
"Uncle, did the Yanbian delegation bring me any gifts?"
Wei Yuan was stunned at her, "I've been gone for so long, you girl didn't ask me if I was tired, why did you ask for a gift? No!"
Minglan pouted.
Zhang Guifen covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Girl Ming is just not good at expressing herself. During the period when you were gone, she often came to stay with me. Almost every time she came, she would ask my officer how you were doing."
Hearing this, Wei Yuan hit Minglan again and his brain collapsed, "That's right, I didn't hurt you in vain."
Minglan covered her head and said angrily: "Uncle, you are too harsh."
Wei Yuan smiled.
Afterwards, everyone entered the main hall one after another.
Wei Yuan Mingrui noticed something was wrong with Wei Shuyi's expression, and after questioning her several times, he learned that she had been feeling cold in recent days.
In the TV series "Know or Not" in her previous life, Wei Shuyi gave people the impression that she was a kind of weak woman who was not a long-term look.
Wei Yuan was very concerned about her physical condition, "Ask an imperial doctor to take a look at my eldest sister tomorrow morning."
These words were said to Zhang Guifen.
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will make arrangements early tomorrow morning."
"Why didn't Brother Mu and Brother Chang come? We happened to be gathering together today." Wei Yuan asked.
Wei Ruyi said carelessly: "When you come home, you don't go to see your two children first, but you ask about Brother Mu and Brother Chang."
After hearing this, Wei Yuan subconsciously slapped his thigh and said, "I almost forgot about this."
"Master, Master, please sit down for a moment, and I'll go see your grandson and granddaughter."
Zhang Fu waved his hands one after another, "Go ahead."
Afterwards, Zhang Guifen followed Wei Yuan to the place where the two of them slept to see the child.
As the weather was getting colder, Wei Yuan even rubbed his hands when opening the door, hoping to raise his body temperature, mainly because he was worried that the cold air on his body would bring it to his child.
This was the first time Zhang Guifen saw Wei Yuan being so cautious when meeting someone.
"There is a charcoal fire in the house. After a while, there will be no air conditioning."
As Zhang Guifen spoke, she asked Bao Zhu to open the door.
The couch where Wei Yuan and Zhang Guifen lived was relatively large, divided into three rooms in total, and was about thirty or forty paces long.
The bed is placed in the innermost room. In front of the bed is a huge landscape painting screen. Beyond the screen is the place where you usually wash your hands. There is another room where the couple has breakfast together.
At this moment, Brother Zhuang and Sister Jing were in front of Wei Yuan's bed, and the two children were sleeping on the bed.
Wei Yuan was afraid of waking up the children, so he sat in the room where he usually washed and used charcoal fire to drive away the cold air on his body. When he felt that it was almost done, he dared to cross the screen, took very light steps, and cautiously came to the two children. in front of.
Zhang Guifen stood behind him and whispered: "On weekdays, apart from me, Nanny Zhang takes care of them."
"After much thought, I decided not to find a wet nurse for my child."
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "It's up to you."
He originally wanted to touch Sister Jing's cheek with his fingers, but before he could touch it, Sister Jing had already woken up. With her two big eyes open, she looked at Wei Yuan, who was unshaven and had no time to clean up. He was suddenly shocked. started crying.
Wow wow——
The cry directly woke up the strong brother beside him.
Wei Yuan suddenly felt at a loss, "I, I."
Although he has been a man for two generations, he is also a father for the first time. Seeing his child crying, he seemed a little at a loss for a moment.
The child cried violently.
Zhang Guifen just found it a bit funny when she saw that the dignified general was so confused by two children that he didn't know why.
Wei Yuan looked at her and said, "Is the child hungry?"
Bao Zhu first stepped forward to check and saw that the diaper was brand new and there was nothing unusual about it.
Zhang Guifen said: "Let them get out."
Then, all the maids and maids in the house, including the orb, left the house.
Then, Zhang Guifen looked at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan also looked at her.
Zhang Guifen felt a little embarrassed, "Brother Wei won't go out?"
Wei Yuan subconsciously said "Ah".
After hearing this, Zhang Guifen said: "That's it, Brother Wei, help me untie the belt at the back."
Wei Yuan suddenly realized, "How about I go out first?"
Zhang Guifen chuckled and said, "Why do you feel so embarrassed after going to Yanbian?"
Wei Yuan untied her clothes, and after a while, Zhang Guifen was naked.
Wei Yuan hugged her from behind and greedily inhaled the faint fragrance of her body.
Zhang Guifen is a wife for the first time, and the familiar feeling on her body is so mouth-watering.
She knew what Wei Yuan wanted to do when he suddenly hugged her, and she could feel the heat coming from Wei Yuan's body.
But the two children kept crying, which really made her feel uneasy, "Brother Wei, wait until the parents leave later."
Then, she broke away from Wei Yuan's restraints, sat upright on the bed, and first held Sister Jing in her arms.
After a while, Sister Jing really stopped crying.
Wei Yuan kept staring at Zhang Guifen breastfeeding Sister Jing, making her shy. He quickly stretched out his hand to cover Wei Yuan's eyes.
"Go out and stay with your parents."
Wei Yuan knelt down and held Zhang Guifen's slender hand. He completely ignored the two children here and asked unscrupulously:
"Did you miss me these days when I was gone?"
Zhang Guifen said: "Good brother, let's talk about it later. We are feeding the child."
Wei Yuan said: "Why take off all your clothes to feed the child? Are you trying to seduce me?"
Zhang Guifen suddenly burst into laughter, "Screw you, don't even look at what I'm wearing today. This coat is a new style popular in Beijing. The top and bottom are connected together, but it's not convenient to take them off."
Wei Yuan said: "If that's the case, why do you still wear these clothes?"
Zhang Guifen said: "I see that other women look quite good in this dress, and I want to try it too."
Wei Yuan understood what she was thinking, "You want to wear it for me to see?"
Zhang Guifen nodded.
After the children were fed, Zhang Guifen called Baozhu over and asked her to take care of the two children first.
After she put on her clothes, she sat Wei Yuan in front of the dressing table, touched his prickly beard on his chin, frowned slightly and said:
"I went to Yanbian and people seemed a lot lazy. Why didn't they shave their faces?"
Wei Yuan lay on the rocking chair in front of the stage and let Zhang Guifen shave him with a knife.
"The frontier is a bitter and cold place. During my trip, I mostly went to cities and towns. I didn't even go to a few decent prefectures and counties. There was no one around to take care of me, so I didn't bother to do it."
When he was in Daizhou, Wei Yuan always paid attention to his personal image, but as his official position became higher and higher, the so-called external image was not taken seriously by him.
While talking, he held Zhang Guifen's delicate hand and played with it.
Zhang Guifen said seriously: "Don't move, I'll hurt you again later."
Wei Yuan smiled and said: "If Madam hurt me, then I will admit it. After all, who made me like Madam."
Zhang Guifen gently tapped his lips with her fingertips, "Why is Brother Wei becoming more glib? Who taught you this? Did you meet some girl in Yanbian? What is your identity?"
Wei Yuan's head suddenly grew heavy, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhang Guifen continued to cleanse his face, "Official, when you come back now, you won't leave, right?"
Wei Yuan said: "If I don't leave, I will stay with you at home."
Zhang Guifen pouted, "I don't ask you to spend every day, but I ask you to spend two or three days in a month to accompany me. That's enough."
Wei Yuan said: "There may be a lot of people coming to our house these days to see me. You said to the public that I am tired from traveling all the way. I want to rest for a few days and thank the guests behind closed doors."
Zhang Guifen said: "What do those people think when they meet the officials?"
Wei Yuan said: "A few days ago, I gave a letter to the officials. Today's meeting is about this letter."
"If Prime Minister Wen and Prime Minister Han want to use this matter to start a fight, they will definitely drag me into the situation."
He has already figured out the situation in Xuanzheng Hall today.
Both prime ministers support the restructuring, and even have the strategy of three-year terms, but they must be prioritized. Therefore, the two will definitely drag Wei Yuan into the game.
Whoever Wei Yuan supports will win this power struggle.
But Wei Yuan's original intention was only to reorganize the Yanbian military. For now, he is not interested in promoting it nationwide.
This is why, in front of officials, he bluntly said that this three-year term strategy was mainly tailored for Yanbian and may not be suitable for other places.
"Wang Shangshu is a civil servant and has never been involved in the situation. It is better for officials to keep to themselves."
Although Zhang Guifen didn't understand court politics, she was extremely aware of the movements of the nobles around her.
Some veteran nobles are avoiding the dispute between the two sides, so who is willing to forcefully join in?
Wei Yuan nodded and said: "As long as a man doesn't stand on the wrong side when it comes to political power, doesn't take money he shouldn't take when it comes to management, and doesn't look for charming women in terms of livelihood, generally speaking, there won't be any big problems. "
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen smiled and asked, "Am I coquettish?"
Wei Yuan nodded, "Coquettish."
Suddenly, Zhang Guifen was furious, "Why am I so coquettish?"
Wei Yuan took advantage of the situation to hold her in his arms and whispered in her ear:
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you so anxious, girl?"
"My sister is also very coquettish for me to see, not for others to see."
"Besides, who in the world doesn't know that my sister Wen is capable of reciting poems and hymns, and is capable of mounting a horse and carrying a gun. Even many women in the capital like my sister's heroic appearance in military uniform, and her husband is no exception."
Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "You know what's interesting."
After cleaning Wei Yuan's face, the whole family also started to have dinner.
Except for the younger brother Mu who didn't come, everyone else was present.
Brother Chang only came to the Hou Mansion after finishing school.
During the meal, Zhang Fu told Wei Yuan something:
"When you convened the border areas in Yanzhou to discuss Yanbian military affairs, you proposed a new tactic called guerrilla warfare?"
The latter nodded and said: "This tactic is mainly to go deep behind enemy lines and wait for opportunities to harass the enemy troops, causing losses to their march, baggage supply routes, etc., in order to delay their fighter planes."
Zhang Fu stroked his beard and said, "I have read those sixteen words and they are exquisite. Even in normal marches and battles, these sixteen words can be used. If used skillfully, they are enough to be invincible."
When it comes to the sixteen words, even Chang Ge'er, who is sitting next to him, can't help but be curious,
"Which sixteen words are they?"
Wei Yuan said, "Don't ask around, read your book."
Even Minglan was a little curious, "Why have you never heard of this?"
Zhang Fu explained, "The government has already classified this as top secret."
Top secret?
After hearing these two words, Wei Shuyi immediately scolded Minglan and Chang Ge'er to eat well.
Yes, the sixteen words mentioned by Wei Yuan have indeed become the top secret of the Great Zhou.
The various archives or national policies of the Great Zhou have a relatively strict level division.
For example, if the intelligence obtained by the Imperial City Department from other countries finds that the enemy country intends to gather a large army to invade the Great Zhou, then the value of this intelligence can be called top secret.
If it is about the enemy's military deployment arrangements, personnel transfers, etc., it is a secret.
If it is just some information that is irrelevant to the overall situation, it will be classified as secret.
The confidentiality arrangements for each level are also different.
For example, the real content of top secret information may not even be known by the imperial guards who escort the information.
They only know that this information is top secret and must be sent out at the cost of their lives.
If it is a secret, send the information out while ensuring your own safety as much as possible.
If it is secret, there is no need to rush, and you can escort it after it is completely safe.
Zhao Zhen classified everything about "guerrilla warfare" as top secret, not because he thought that after it was classified as top secret, the enemy would have no way of knowing it, but because he thought that they could know it later.
Anyone who knows something about war can clearly feel the power brought by the sixteen-character secret mentioned by Wei Yuan.
During the meal, Zhang Fu only told Wei Yuan about that one political matter.
As for other things, there is no rush. Besides, it is not appropriate to talk about it tonight with the whole family present.
Just as everyone was leaving, Wei Yuan heard that the leader of Tubo, now the king of Tibet, "Zongsiluo", was coming.
Tubo bordered Xia and Song, and its geographical location was particularly important. Moreover, this region was multi-religious, and the local people believed in religion and were fearless and not afraid of death, and were notoriously difficult to deal with.
At first, Zhao Zhen and Zuosiluo had formed an alliance in the form of monarch and minister to jointly attack Xia.
Although Zuosiluo had defeated Li Yuanhao's main army, it was also with the help of Zhou's army.
In the eyes of the Tibetans, Zuosiluo was a great leader.
"Speaking of Tubo, Xixia's general Yeli Yuqi seemed to be in contact with several major religions in Tubo."
"Now, the Tubo leader's visit to Beijing is related to the current internal troubles in Xixia?"
Wei Yuan asked when he sent Zhang Fu out of the house.
Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "It should be unrelated. The government summoned him to Beijing, saying that he was going to fulfill his promise and was going to make him king."
Make him king? !
