Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 57 Wei Yuan: This kid is quite stubborn

Haoqi Building, top floor
"What do you think?"

Wei Yuan glanced at Wei An and asked back.

"I thought my uncle was lying to me." Wei An said angrily.

Just based on his uncle's reaction, he became more certain that Cai You was his uncle's man.

Some bastard had been saying that the people who were trying to mess with him in the court were members of the royal party!
It turns out that the vanguard is my uncle's man!
Wei Yuan shook his head in amusement and said, "You've heard enough about the current emperor, but he is definitely not as simple as you heard."

"Since Your Majesty has devoted himself to cultivation, he seems to have gradually relaxed his control over the court. In reality, various positions have been gradually replaced with obedient people. The officials in the court are unaware of this and are simply playing along."

Wei Yuan paused, his expression gradually calming as he said in a deep voice, "Now that the academy has returned to the court, the opinions of all parties are unimportant. What matters is whether the emperor needs the academy."

He seemed to know what Wei An was going to ask, and continued, "Cai You is considered a member of the royal party by all officials. If he stands up to please His Majesty, then that means the royal party is trying to please His Majesty."

"Almost all members of the Wang Party graduated from the Imperial College. Would they really like the academy to return to the court?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your academy teacher already hates Cai You?"

Wei An was silent.

The teachers in the academy were disgusted with the "help" from Cai You, who was a member of the Wang Party. After entering the court, they did not feel any gratitude for the "favor" but tried hard to draw a clear line between them.

Isn’t this exactly what Yuan Jing wants?

Keep the court free from party strife and chaos, so as to prevent his power from being usurped one day!

Cai You's move was timely and carefully calculated.

In my uncle's words, what's important is He Yuanjing's intention!

wrong!

Does he care when it is this?

"Wang Zhenwen is smarter than you. He knows full well that he can't do anything about the academy's return to the court, but as the leader, he can't show weakness. Now that Cai You has caused such a scene, it suits him perfectly. No matter how Cai You defends himself, he can just take advantage of the situation."

Wei Yuan's voice sounded at the right time.

Wei An's face gradually darkened.

He knew that his uncle was saying that he shouldn't worry about the process but the result.

As for the attacks against him, there is no need to worry about who initiated them, just see that these attacks eventually faded into silence.

His heart was in turmoil and he was silent for a long time. The words "Uncle, when have I ever been smart" kept coming back to his lips several times.

Suddenly, my mind was at peace and my thoughts were calm.

Why did my uncle do this?
There is always a hidden meaning behind every move my uncle makes.

He thought of something and suddenly remembered what Master Zhang said the night before.

"Uncle is reminding me not to come here often in the future?"

Wei Yuan raised his eyes, met his gaze, and smiled, "You have a good understanding."

Wei An breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, just say it directly. Why go around in such a big circle?"

"It is always difficult for people to learn, but it is enough for things to teach people once." Wei Yuan said lightly.

Wei An's eyes fell on the chessboard and he said, "I've read a few chess manuals in the past. If uncle doesn't mind, I'd like to play a game with you today. Is that okay?"

Wei Yuan gladly accepted the challenge.

More than an hour later

"Your chess style is ruthless, decisive, and good at layout. It doesn't seem like you were taught in an academy." Wei Yuan sighed and put the chess pieces back into the chess box.

He almost lost.

"You're still better."

Wei An smiled.

He looked at his uncle who was slowly packing up and said, "I have received a lot of help from your uncle. Everyone in the capital knows that I am your nephew. I have gained the benefits and should bear the consequences. There is really no need to do this for others to see."

He paused and said, "Uncle, I'll visit you another day."

After saying this, he disappeared in the clear light without waiting for Wei Yuan's response.

Wei Yuan's eyes caught sight of nothing and fell into the void.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "This kid is quite stubborn."

this day
Si Tianjian

The weather was getting colder, but Wei An was still wearing his student uniform, standing under the scorching autumn sun.

"Sorry for the wait, I'm fine."

Huaiqing and Chu Caiwei arrived together.

The two are beautiful in their own unique ways, radiant and complementing each other.

"Your Highness."

"Miss Caiwei."

Wei An saluted.

Huaiqing nodded slightly, but Chu Caiwei snorted and turned her head away.

"When did you offend Caiwei?" Huaiqing asked with a surprised smile.

Wei An scratched his head, "Maybe he broke his promise."

Chu Caiwei turned her head back, "Probably? Right?"

This tone, this look.

"Wuyang would also break his promise?" Huaiqing's tone of disbelief was not just to defend Wei An.

Chu Caiwei immediately said, "He once promised me that he would treat me to a delicious meal after he moved into his new house. How long has it been? Where's the delicious meal?"

The last sentence was filled with anger but also with a hint of babyishness.

Huaiqing successfully learned the inside story.

She nodded, looked at Wei An, and asked curiously, "Can Wuyang also cook delicious food?"

"I'm not that good at it. When I was in trouble in the past, I read a lot of local news and records, which mentioned a lot of delicious food. I wrote them down. I also thought that one day when I could escape from the hardship and see the light of day again, I would travel around the mountains and rivers and try these delicacies." Wei An only answered her superficial question, pretending that he didn't hear the other questions.

"Really? Can you take me with you?" Chu Caiwei seemed to have triggered a switch, looking at Wei An with bright eyes, full of expectation and longing.

Huaiqing narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said, "Dafeng is a vast land with abundant resources. It would be difficult to travel around the world and try all the delicious food. The capital gathers merchants from all over the world, and there are many delicious foods. Have you tried them all?"

"Why?" Wei An shook his head and said, "I have tried some, but they are far inferior to the cakes Your Highness gave me that day."

"If you like it, I'll bring you some next time." Huaiqing curled the corners of his lips.

"Your Highness, what about me?" Chu Caiwei was anxious.

The pancakes are delicious, but the real pastries in front of you are even more delicious!

Huaiqing didn't answer, but looked at Wei An intentionally or unintentionally.

"The sun is already high now, and I'm afraid the ingredients are not fresh. Let's do it tomorrow. I will go buy the ingredients early, and Your Highness and Miss Caiwei can come together." Wei An invited.

Huaiqing nodded slightly.

Chu Caiwei warned, "It's okay for you to lie to me, but if you dare to lie to His Highness... hehe."

Wei An looked at Huai Qing and met her gaze. He immediately lowered his eyes and said, "How dare I."

With this story out of the way, it was Wei An's turn to take action. "Miss Caiwei, is the Supervisor still ill? Why is he still unwilling to see me?"

Chu Caiwei's high spirits collapsed, and she said softly and vaguely, "Then I'll ask the teacher for you later."

Wei An led Huai Qing and Chu Caiwei inside and casually started the conversation, "Your Highness, did you hear there's been any progress in the Sangpo case?"

Huaiqing nodded slightly, his expression growing colder as he said, "Former Minister of Rites Li Yulang colluded with the demon clan to do this. Caiwei and Song Qing jointly determined the truth of this. It has now been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation."

"They are obsessed with power and profit, and don't care about the turmoil in the country."

Hot knowledge, the art of looking at qi can determine whether the words are true or false, and whether they are lies.

Nangong Qianrou kept pestering Wei An.

Just because Confucianism's words are more effective!

Wei An nodded and stopped talking, saying, "What I am showing His Highness today will probably cause quite a stir."
