Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 166 Wei Yuan was confused. What did the emperor mean?
The idols in the hearts of high-ranking ladies in Bianjing are either Su Xiaomei or Zhang Guifen.

The idols of the children of famous families and nobles may be Wei Yuan and Su Shi.

At this moment, Wei Yuan has become the focus of everyone's attention.

"General Wei, are you here to play polo too? It seems that you have never played polo before."

"Yes, if I can see you, Uncle Wei, show off your skills today, it will be a real blessing."

"General Wei, can you show us your skills?"

"."

Some people dare to say anything just to praise Wei Yuan.

After all, he has such strength now.

With just one word from him, many noble disciples can have a great future.

"This year's polo competition, I guess it's your boy again, right?"

Minglan looked at him with a playful smile and waved to him, but she just barely said the word 'uncle'.

Minglan, Rong Feiyan and others stood up one after another to bow.

As for Zhang Guifen, she didn't dare to look at Wei Yuan at all.

"Minglan, take your aunt to play somewhere else first."

Considering there are people around me, it’s better to keep a low profile.

Just by taking a peek, his cheeks were already red with embarrassment.

After all, Zhang Guifen is still here.

After the surroundings became a little clearer, Wei Yuan looked at Qin Zhen, Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others and said:

"I have met the imperial concubine."

"When General Wei first came to the capital, he had something to do and I didn't see him parade through the streets with his own eyes. Now that I see him, he is really heroic. No wonder some people say he is the reincarnation of Huo Qubing."

"."

"I never heard that you also like to play polo?"

If someone with a status like theirs wants to create a future for their children and grandchildren, in fact, it is not enough to just have money, but also to have power.

After a pause, Wei Yuan waved to everyone and said:

Wei Yuan walked straight to where Concubine Rong was.

"My niece has met her uncle."

"My little girl has met General Wei."

"It would be great if my future husband could be so heroic."

I'm afraid that if I go there too many times, my heart will burst.

A few people didn't dare to stop him, so they got out of the way.

And this is something that many uncles and marquises find difficult to achieve.

Of course, these are just some people's thoughts.

Wei Yuan came to Concubine Rong, bowed and said:

Wei Yuan lacked nothing, he nodded to everyone one by one and responded,
"I have a chance to compete with you, but not today."

Wei Yuan saw this and smiled, "Sister Guifen's clothes are quite beautiful today."

Minglan nodded, took Zhang Guifen's hand and left.

Some people dare not continue to pester him, for fear that the other party will get tired of them, which will be bad.

As for speaking it out, I would definitely not dare.

During this period, many women looked at Wei Yuan, who looked slightly majestic, and their hearts fluttered secretly.
"Sister Zhang is so lucky to be able to partner with such a man and stay together for the rest of her life."

When Qi Heng heard this, he didn't know what to say.

"Let's go play polo. I'll go and pay my respects to the noble concubine first."

Zhang Guifen realized later and stood up slowly without daring to raise her head.

"."

As Wei Yuan finished speaking.

"Okay, everyone, please leave. The polo competition will continue."

"."

He really didn't dare to go.

Wei Yuan walked towards where Concubine Rong was.

"Why hasn't the young master run to me recently?"

"Are you the eldest son of the Zhongjing Hou family? I have met you once, and you are a good boy."

Concubine Rong instantly understood what Wei Yuan meant, pretended to cough twice, and looked at Mrs. Wu and the others around her.

They reacted instantly and said one after another:

"Sister, let me go over there and take a look. There are two good sisters there."

"Your Highness, please do as you please. I'll leave first."

"."

Soon, apart from a few personal guards, eunuchs, and maids beside Concubine Rong, she and Wei Yuan were the only ones left.

The latter smiled and said: "I have never heard that Concubine Rong likes to watch polo games?"

Concubine Rong said with a smile: "It's not easy to go home to visit relatives. I thought it was time to have some free time, so I came to take a look."

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "Is your Majesty determined, will I come today?"

Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "If you want to meet someone, there is always a way."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "I wonder why Concubine Rong wants to see me?"

Concubine Rong got straight to the point: "I heard that General Wei will lead his troops south in the coming spring?"

Wei Yuan said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty is a concubine in the harem. Whether the general leads the army or not is a matter of the previous dynasty's affairs. It is not for Your Majesty to interfere."

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "That's true, but I am still a commoner after all."

"General Wei must have heard about the Hai family's request to open the sea. What do you think?"

Wei Yuan said: "I am a military commander. I will not comment on matters that have nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Concubine Rong covered her mouth and smiled,
"If others say this, I will believe it."

"But when these words come out of Uncle Zhongyong's mouth, I feel a little doubtful."

Wei Yuan lost some patience and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Concubine Rong said: "General Wei, you are here, how about you watch polo first?"

Watch polo?
Wei Yuan frowned slightly.

But he saw that the maid next to Concubine Rong had moved a chair for Wei Yuan, just outside Concubine Rong's seat.

After all, Wei Yuan is a foreign minister and cannot have close contact with Concubine Rong. He sat down calmly.

Since Concubine Rong is not in a hurry, there is no reason for him to be anxious.

The ones competing in polo at the moment were Qi Heng and the sons of some civil servants.

The fight was not too fierce, with back and forth. Compared with the competition between Gu Tingye and Qin Zhen, it was a little less exciting.

And Wei Yuan had no interest in so-called playing polo.

It's just a child's trick, how can you have time to be interested in this?

If you have this time, you might as well go to Guangyuntai to have a drink.

the other side.

Minglan pulled Zhang Guifen back to her original seat.

The former complained: "Auntie, why do you lose your temper after seeing my uncle?"

"If you marry my uncle like this, do you still dare to interfere if my uncle says anything or goes to another prostitute?"

"Logically speaking, he is my biological uncle, so I should go to him."

"But when it comes to the two of you, I still hope that Auntie you won't be so humble. You are the only daughter of the Duke's family."

"What are you thinking about? Where am I talking to you? Auntie?"

"."

She called several times, but Zhang Guifen remained unmoved.

Suddenly, the latter suddenly said:
"Did your uncle just praise me for looking good in the clothes I wore today?"

When Minglan heard this, she shook her head and said, "It's over."

Zhang Guifen was puzzled, "What's the end?"

Minglan sighed, "I wonder what kind of ecstasy soup my uncle poured into you."

Zhang Guifen blurted out: "Ecstasy soup? How can brother Wei give me any kind of ecstasy soup?"

"He is Wei Yuan."

Minglan was startled when she heard this.

Yes.

In the entire Zhou Dynasty, there was only one young commander like his uncle who was comparable to Huo Qubing.

There is a woman by his side, why should she be drunk by him?

Just the word 'Wei Yuan' is enough.
-
Although Qi Heng's polo skills are pretty good, they are much worse than Gu Tingye.

Not surprisingly, after Qi Heng won two games in a row, he met Gu Tingye and lost.

Gu Tingye also naturally won the first place in this year's polo competition.

The prizes are also very generous. In addition to some gold and silver jewelry, there are also magical weapons made of black iron.

But it was far inferior to the golden sword that Zhao Zhen rewarded Wei Yuan with.

The polo competition is over, and what follows is the so-called friendly match. Everyone tries to compete, but there is not much to see.

At this time, a eunuch whispered to Concubine Rong:
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, we should go back to the palace."

Concubine Rong nodded, stood up slowly, and looked at Wei Yuan,

"I am a little tired, so I will go back to the palace."

"Being able to see General Wei today means that my visit to the palace was not in vain."

Wei Yuan stood up quickly and said, "Best concubine Rong."

Concubine Rong slowly came to him,

"General Wei, after the New Year, Japanese envoys will come to the capital."

"Our Rong family represents the official family and will make a deal with Japan. If General Wei is interested, he will go to my father and brother to discuss it in detail."

"Of course, before the Japanese envoy arrives, my brother will take the initiative to find you. I hope that General Wei can look at my face and talk to you."

When Wei Yuan heard this, he was immediately puzzled.

The Rong family represents His Majesty?

What do you mean?
They all represent His Majesty, what use do I have?
Wei Yuan frowned and asked, "Madam, what kind of business is this?"

Concubine Rong said in surprise: "Weapons, weapons that were eliminated by the imperial army."

"Currently, these weapons are hidden in the palace's arsenal."

"Instead of letting it gather dust, it is better to exchange some money and food with the Japanese country to replenish the internal treasury."

Weapons?

Also obsolete weapons?
On behalf of His Majesty?

In other words, is there clan power behind the arms business?

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "What can I do?"

Concubine Rong said: "When General Wei leads his troops to the south, he will definitely go in the name of the Southeast Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy."

"By then, General Wei will have a high position and great authority, so how can he not use General Wei?"

Wei Yuan was even more puzzled, "The empress just said that the Rong family represents your majesty, but your majesty has no clear edict, or did you mean that the edict will be issued after the year?"

If there is an explicit decree, it is a matter for the imperial court.

If there is no clear decree, it is the emperor's private matter.

Although the emperor has no selfish interests, the difference between whether he has a will or not is huge.

Moreover, Wei Yuan did not believe that Zhao Zhen would sell the so-called obsolete weapons to the Japanese country.

If there is no clear purpose, it may be that Zhao Zhen does not want outsiders to know about this matter.

But why didn't Zhao Zhen inform him?
There are too many strange things in this.

As Concubine Rong said, if she becomes the envoy of the Southeast Economic Strategy, she will at least have control over the two military and political powers. At that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that she will be the pillar of the Southeast and the official of the border.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhao Zhen should inform himself in advance.

Instead of telling him this through the mouth of Concubine Rong.

Unless Zhao Zhen doesn't want to get involved himself.

Then the question comes again, what is the purpose of going in such a big circle?
Aren't you afraid that this matter will affect the emperor's reputation?
In any case, it is not allowed to do arms business with Japan!

Things that are afraid of harming future generations must never be done!
Unless, he no longer controls troops!
Thinking of this, Wei Yuan frowned even more and secretly said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

At this time, Concubine Rong responded: "There is no clear purpose. Such a large batch of weapons cannot be eaten by one family."

"I have already told General Wei what should be said and what should not be said."

"For the rest of the matter, please let General Wei discuss it in detail with my eldest brother."

"I'm tired, go back to the palace."
