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

From Wei Yuan's words, Zhao Zhen could easily guess what happened.

Earl of Yongping?

Hearing these three words, Zhao Zhen frowned,

"I remember that he has been the commander of the Divine Cavalry for many years."

"You are the commander of the Cavalry Division. You can handle this matter as you wish."

"If the Earl of Yongping dares to cause trouble for you, tell me and find a reason to remove his earl."

Wei Yuan was shocked when he heard this.

Remove an earl?

For himself?

This.

In the past, when officials said that he was in the emperor's heart, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Now, he has a deep understanding of what the emperor's favorite minister is.

An earl, can he be removed just like that?

"Your Majesty, I just said that I offended the wife of the Yongping Earl at the polo field hosted by the wife of the Yongchang Earl."

"I am worried that someone will say that I am a private revenge."

"I must make this matter clear to your majesty."

If Zhao Zhen summoned me, it was not for the matter of the Earl of Yongping, but for something else?

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Are you not afraid of General Wei, who has thousands of troops, but afraid of that woman?"

Wei Yuan was stunned, "That's not what I meant."

Zhao Zhen said, "I know that Earl Yongping has no ability, but he is good at currying favor with the powerful. You did the right thing in this matter."

Wei Yuan felt incredible.

He thought that if he really brought this matter to Zhao Zhen, there would be some trouble.

So, he prepared his excuses in advance.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much?

Zhao Zhen continued:

"For such a small matter, Wei Qing can make his own decision. Even if the censor reports you later, I will help you suppress it. You don't have to worry."

Wei Yuan felt deeply the emperor's grace and knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand,

"Wei Qing, there is no need to be polite. In fact, I called Wei Qing here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

Zhao Zhen said: "I want to select 80,000 soldiers from the various armies under the Ma Jun Division to form a new army. As for the name of this new army, I have already thought of it."

Form a new army?

At the beginning, Zhao Zhen and Wei Yuan made a one-year agreement to see whether Wei Yuan's new training method was effective.

Facts have proved that it has a good effect in actual combat.

And Zhao Zhen's idea of ​​forming a new army has been around for a long time.

Now, he feels that the time has come.

However, Wei Yuan still didn't understand, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to form a new army?" Zhao Zhen said, "I know everything the envoys of the two countries said when they accompanied you to the Imperial Army Camp for inspection that day." "Even the envoys of the two countries are looking forward to your new training method. It can be seen that your training method can be considered." "So, I think it is appropriate to use your new training method to train the new army at this time." Hearing this. Wei Yuan was secretly surprised at first. Even the emperor knew this? It seems that he must be careful in his words and deeds in the future! At this moment, he knew in his heart that another opportunity to make merit had come. If the new army was successfully trained, then it would definitely be able to be continuously reused by Zhao Zhen. "Your Majesty, I understand." "I don't know, what is the name of this new army?" Wei Yuan asked. Zhao Zhen wrote two big characters on the white paper: Danglu. Danglu? Wei Yuan murmured,

"Ping down the four directions of the barbarians, what a good name!"

Zhao Zhen laughed twice,

"The formation of the new army must be kept secret for the time being."

"I have already instructed the Ministry of War to fully cooperate with you in selecting the new army soldiers in the near future."

"As for the number of cavalry and infantry in this army, I will let you decide."

"In short, I hope to see an elite army that is invincible in the world!"

"Wei Wudi, don't let your title down!"

Since Wei Yuan won a great victory in a single-handed fight against two envoys, he has a new nickname among the people: 'Wei Wudi'.

It is comparable to Yang Ye's Yang Wudi back then.

After hearing what Zhao Zhen said,

Wei Yuan understood that Zhao Zhen gave him a lot of freedom in forming the new army.

There was even assistance from the Ministry of War.

If it really didn't work out, it would be his fault alone.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"I will do my utmost for Your Majesty!"

"If the new army fails, I will not be able to stay in the army!"

This is not a pledge of loyalty.

It is the truth.

If he is given such great authority, but still cannot train the new army well.

That means he is incompetent.

No merit is a fault.

At that time, facing the criticism of the whole court, Wei Yuan will certainly not be safe and sound.

Wei Yuan never thought that the future famous Shaking Mountain Yi and the rare prototype of the Wei Family Army, the 'Danglu Army', would be born.

When Zhao Zhen heard that Wei Yuan had such confidence, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"In the future, you will still be the commander of the Ma Junsi, but the affairs of the Ma Junsi can be temporarily handed over to Xu Changzhi."

"You will do your best to build a new army, and I have confidence in you."

After Wei Yuan thanked him, he left the Xuanzheng Hall.

At this time, Zhao Zhen said to a eunuch beside him:

"Let the Imperial City Department investigate what Yongping Bo has done in recent years."

"The new army is about to be established, and I cannot let Wei Qing be distracted."

The formation of a new army was extremely important to Zhao Zhen. It was an important part of his "martial arts" and related to the evaluation of him by the scholar-bureaucrats and the people a hundred years later.

——

It is said that Mrs. Yongpingbo has just returned home.

Then he was severely punished by Uncle Yong Ping.

"Do you know how much I paid to become the commander of the Divine Cavalry?"

"Now, just because of your few words, you have angered the Commander of the Guard City, causing all my years of achievements to be wasted!"

"Today, I will divorce you! Take you to Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion and apologize to the Commander of the Guard City!"

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Yongping Bo was extremely surprised.

"You want to divorce me?"

"Are you going to divorce me because of this?"

Uncle Yongping snorted: "Don't I think I should divorce you?"

"I am fully aware of what happened at the polo ground today."

"What is your relationship with the fourth girl of the Sheng family? Why do you want to speak for her and offend someone we can't afford to offend?"

"Where is your brain? Was it eaten by a dog?"

Mrs. Yongpingbo said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it for you, for our Yongpingbo Mansion?"

"Do you know that the eldest daughter of the Sheng family is going to marry Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Zhongqin family?"

"Although the Sheng family comes from a scholarly family, they were previously merchants, so they must have a large family fortune."

"I don't need to say more about our son's reputation in the capital, right?"

"Then Minglan is like a treasure to Wei Yuan. She must not look down on our children. As for the fifth girl of the Sheng family, Rulan, it is said that she is unruly and spoiled. If she comes to our house, she will definitely be with her. We often have grievances.”

"After much thought, Sheng Molan is the only one who is a good candidate."

After hearing this, Uncle Yongping finally understood what she was thinking.

He was actually going for the Sheng family business.

Is the Sheng family very rich?

It's just a scholarly family, worthy of attention.

"But what now? You offended Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion because of that girl Mo Lan!"

Uncle Yongping said angrily.

His wife frowned and said, "I thought that no matter how bad Mo Lan was, he would still be Wei Yuan's junior."

"I didn't expect that Wei Yuan would dislike Mo Lan so much!"

"I have made a big mistake and apologized to Uncle Zhongyong, but he insists on expelling you from the army. What can I do?"

Their son is an uneducated and ignorant playboy. He is now in his twenties, and no one in the capital is willing to marry him.

In addition, Uncle Yongping almost emptied his family fortune in order to become an army commander.

Everyone knows that the Yongping Mansion is now a bottomless pit.

The wife of Yongping Bofu is the legitimate daughter of a famous merchant in Hangzhou.

Marrying a noble martial artist to a merchant's daughter is a shameful thing even if it is revealed.

Uncle Yongping was so angry that his fingers trembled at his wife's confident words.

"You, you... are simply unreasonable!"

"Now, how do you want to end it?"

Mrs. Yongping said: "I have a good relationship with Princess Pingning and the others. Leave this matter to me. Wei Yuan is just a newcomer to the capital and his foundation is still shallow. He wants to give Princess Pingning and the others some face." "

After hearing this, Uncle Yongping's tone became better.

"As far as I know, Sheng Molan is just a daughter born from a concubine in the Sheng family. How can she be worthy of entering our uncle's house?"

Uncle Yongping said: "Who said you want our son to marry her?"

Uncle Yongping said in astonishment: "You said you want Xing'er to take a concubine?"

The eldest son of the Yongping House is called Li Xing.

Uncle Yongping said: "I have already thought about this matter. Today I helped Mo Lan speak for him, and there will be rumors in the capital."

"I asked people to spread the news, saying that she likes our son, but she is the daughter of a concubine and is destined not to be a housekeeper's wife."

"The head of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong, and the eldest wife, Wang, are both face-saving. Once Molan's reputation is damaged, he will have no choice but to come to our house."

"At that time, we will take the opportunity to propose a large dowry, and we are not afraid that the Sheng family will not respond!"

Uncle Yongping still doesn’t quite understand.

"How do you know that the Sheng family is rich?"

Uncle Yongping said: "I heard that the Sheng family prepared an extremely generous dowry for their eldest daughter Hua Lan."

Uncle Yongping frowned and said, "You also said that she is the eldest daughter."

She said: "The head of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong, prefers concubines. Many people in the capital know that. If you think about it, you won't treat Mo Lan badly."

She thought of everything, but she didn't expect that Wei Yuan would get into a fight because of the matter between the juniors.

I didn't expect that Wei Yuan would go to the polo field because of this incident.

The key point was that he didn't realize it at the beginning, because Mo Lan said a few words, "My uncle is Wei Yuan", which made Zhang Guifen furious and even took action.

She spoke for Mo Lan, just thinking that she could make better use of her in the future. She had no idea that things would develop like this.

He even had his husband dismissed from the military.

Now, one can only hope that the noble ladies he once met at various gathering places can lend a helping hand and make Wei Yuan withdraw his order to remove Yong Pingbo from the army.
