The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 871 Extremely stupid
When Wen Siyuan returned home, his face turned pale.

As soon as he saw his daughter, he shouted:

"Stop, follow me into the study!"

Zhang Lan came out just in time to greet him and asked in surprise, "What's the matter that can't be discussed after dinner?"

Wen Siyuan didn't even bother to look at Zhang Lan, and said unhappily, "You don't know what your daughter has done, do you? She is so stupid that she did something that made His Majesty suspicious."

"Now, I'm afraid both you and I will be implicated!"

Zhang Lan was horrified.

She only served the Empress and was not on night duty, so naturally she didn't know what had just happened in the Imperial Study.

But seeing that Wen Siyuan couldn't control his temper, he knew the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly followed him.

Wen Weilan looked calm and silent as he walked into the study.

The door behind him slammed shut.

Wen Siyuan was furious, pointing at her nose and scolding: "I have taught you a long time ago that you should not act rashly or compete for credit. You have simply thrown away all the education that your mother and I have given you for more than ten years!"

Wen Weilan whispered: "Not every Wen Weilan has been personally taught by her parents..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

After listening to Wen Siyuan's brief description, Zhang Lan also looked worried: "You are usually very steady, how could you be so reckless?"

Wen Siyuan was still furious and paced back and forth in the room.

"I've heard that your Guangming Society in the National Academy always talks about heresy. It seems that it is these things that have poisoned your brain!"

"That's why we would rather let you, who obviously have the ability, take the Grand Swan Plan than let you take the same Jinshi exam as ordinary scholars! You are the official career hope that our Wen family carefully selected, but in the end you were dragged into their scheme!"

Zhang Lan also looked distressed: "Yes, you must have been influenced by that girl, the one who died young..."

She paused, as if she couldn't remember the name.

It was Wen Weilan who whispered, "Liu Sheng."

"Yes, that's her." Wen Siyuan snorted coldly, "She is one of the founders of the Guangming Society. She obviously has a good family background, but she hangs out with these peasants."

"After all, she is not from a noble family like ours. Although her mother is from the Ling family, she is adopted..." Zhang Lan shook her head.

Wen Siyuan sneered, "Yes, not to mention her father, who is just a cook, and his whole body is full of cooking fumes that can't be washed off. Even if he lives in the Shangshu Mansion, he is still a family of peasants. I don't know what kind of shit luck these two people have, to raise a top scholar..."

At this time, Zhang Lan glanced at Wen Weilan's expression and gently pulled Wen Siyuan's sleeve, but he shook it off.

I could only try to smooth things over without any embarrassment: "Okay, let's not talk about other people for now, let's think about what to do first."

"What can we do?" Wen Siyuan sneered, "Your Majesty said 'we need to take a long-term view', and he was lukewarm about what Wei Lan said, neither praising nor affirming it. It's clear what his attitude is."

Zhang Lan felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. "Since His Majesty took power, his actions have become more mysterious and unpredictable. Even the Empress feels confused..."

"Even if I can't figure it out, I can think of it!" Wen Siyuan interrupted, "Who would want such a big thing to come out of the mouth of a lowly ninth-rank official like you?"

"You are involved in the Guangming Society. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know? Young students formed a clique in the name of the Guangming Society and repeatedly suppressed riots and disasters. Their reputation in the local area gradually rose, which made His Majesty suspicious."

"You are even showing the Heavenly Sword image in public before the Emperor. This is simply announcing to the world - our Wen family controls Qingyun Pavilion and has power comparable to that of the Emperor! How do you want His Majesty to view you? How do you want your Majesty to view our Wen family?"

"And Priest Xie - is he that stupid boy from the Xie family? He chose to be a small town priest instead of staying in the temple. When he had news, he didn't report it to the temple first, but to you instead. What does this mean? The noble families are forming cliques for personal gain!"

"He is such an idiot, he wants to harm you! Otherwise, why didn't he tell you instead of his brother, who is also in the cabinet? He is trying to drag you into the water while protecting his brother!" "Fortunately, you are sensible and didn't post the news to Skynet, otherwise you would have provoked civil unrest and you would be unforgivable!"

"But even so, you are still stupid!"

"Stupid! Stupid!"

Wen Siyuan was so angry that he slammed the table.

He was born strong and sturdy, and with one smash of his clay-sized fist, the fine rosewood table immediately broke into pieces.

Zhang Lan was startled and said hurriedly, "Calm down, I'll go to the palace to find the queen right away."

"It's no use looking for the queen." Wen Siyuan said unhappily, "With His Majesty's attitude now, the queen has to protect herself and won't even see you."

Wen Weilan, on the other hand, remained calm throughout the entire process.

Only at this moment did a hint of disappointment flash across his eyes.

But soon, this disappointment was overwhelmed by long-standing indifference.

"You've said so much..."

"But it didn't mention what the people should do."

Her voice was very soft, just as gentle as water.

These words made Wen Siyuan, who was pacing back and forth, and Zhang Lan, who was frowning, both startled.

The study suddenly became quiet.

"I know that His Majesty will suspect that there is some connection between me and Xie Yan, and will doubt the breadth and depth of the Guangming Society's connections."

"I also know that showing the power of Qingyun Pavilion in public will make His Majesty, who holds the Heavenly Sword but does not know how to use it, lose face."

"I know very well that I am just a small ninth-rank clerk..."

"But I also know that Your Majesty is responsible for the entire Tang Dynasty. There are too many things to worry about - whether there is enough food and fodder for disaster relief, the resettlement strategy for refugees, the reactions of various factions in the court, not to mention the attitude of the Temple and even the Holy Temple..."

"So I know very well that even if I reveal the truth in public, His Majesty may still choose to abandon those disaster victims after weighing the pros and cons..."

"But I can't."

"That's a real person. I can't afford to gamble, and I can't afford to wait. I can only choose this path."

After Wen Weilan finished speaking, she cupped her hands and said, "My daughter still has matters to deal with at Qingyun Pavilion. As for how you want to consider the Wen family, that's your business, so I won't accompany you."

She turned and left, completely ignoring Wen Siyuan's angry roar behind her:
"This bastard is useless after growing up. If I had known this would happen, I would have given birth to another one!"

Zhang Lan just sighed and said nothing.

Deep in his eyes, there was a glimmer of a different color that no one else could see.

As soon as Wen Weilan returned to Qingyun Pavilion, he discussed the matter of flying car dispatch with Cuicui.

She thought that if some flying cars could be transferred to the north, perhaps they could take in some of the victims.

This matter was of great importance, and Wen Weilan stayed up all night, even though he had to attend court early the next day and needed to conserve his energy.

Fortunately, the next day, the decree came down——

Wen Weilan, the proofreader of the Cabinet, abused his power and misused public resources. He was temporarily detained in the Dali Temple and suspended from his post pending investigation.
