Chapter 257
As Li Xian appeared, the cold winter officially came, and the heavy snow fell several times, and the weather was so cold that people didn't like to move. Wei was getting older and still energetic, but his energy was no longer as good as before. He didn't like to go out in winter and stayed in the mansion all day long.
"After the New Year, Liulang became an adult. How did Liulang's Dingliu, what was his wife planning?"
Zhang Luke and Zhang Liangke came together to celebrate Zhang Changzong's Dingfu. Wei had long planned for this matter: "I have been concerned about the two uncles. Since Liu Lang has already taken office, I plan to hold his Dingfu with the Crown Ceremony to carry out the Crown Ceremony in advance so that he can walk outside conveniently."
Zhang Liangke agreed: "I'm not hiding my sister-in-law, we also have this suggestion. Since my sister-in-law has made up her mind, we won't argue more. But, is there anyone who chooses Dabin?"
Wei said: "Dabin has not yet had a suitable candidate. I am a wife and have some contact with the wives of each family. If I am a little lady, then I don't have to worry. However, Liulang is a man. Who can I choose this Dabin's candidate?"
Zhang Luke and Zhang Liangke looked at each other, and Zhang Luke said, "There are people who choose, but I have different opinions from the fourth brother. My sister-in-law, please listen to our respective candidates."
Wei nodded. Zhang Luke said: "The candidate I suggest is Chen Zi'ang. Although he and Liulang have no master or apprentice name, they are the master or apprentice. A few days ago, Liulang's poem "Give to Chen Shi" was released, and their friendship was even more famous. If Chen Zi'ang came, it would add a story that could be passed down through the ages."
Wei was happy when he heard this and nodded with a smile. Zhang Liangke said in a muffled voice: "Although Chen Boyu is good, he is too young. If he is asked to be a big guest, it may make people laugh. I have a better candidate here."
"I don't know who it is?"
Wei asked with concern. Zhang Liangke said: "Di Renjie and Di Xiang. If you talk about fame, Your Majesty calls him the old man. Whether it is a character or an official style, there is a reputation in the court and the country. If you are a great guest of Liulang, it is the icing on the cake. Your virtue is enough to convince the public. How can you be compared with the young Chen Boyu?"
Wei was happy at first, then a little surprised and hesitantly said: "His Fourth Uncle, although this Di Xiang is good, our family has no friendship with him, so I am afraid that he can't invite him. Could it be that his Fourth Uncle has friendship with Di Xiang?"
Zhang Liangke said: "There is no need to invite my sister-in-law to come and not to hide it from my sister-in-law. A few days ago, I met Di Xiang in the court. Di Xiang took the initiative to ask about Liulang's Cheng Ding Li. I heard that my family had Cheng Ding Li and the purpose of holding the ceremonies together. I recommended myself to be the big guest at the ceremony."
"real?"
Wei couldn't help laughing, his face was full of wrinkles, and his whole body exuded a sense of pride and joy from the inside out, with a look of glory: "Di Xiangzhen recommends to be my bad boy to become Ding Li's big guest? Oh, this is a great honor. I didn't expect that Di Xiang would value my bad boy so much!"
Zhang Liangke nodded with honor and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is right. When Di Xiang asked, I thought I had heard it wrong, so I asked him again to verify what I had just confirmed."
Wei laughed happily, and said twice, as if he felt it was too high-profile, and he covered his mouth with his sleeves and lowered his laughter. Zhang Luke was very helpless, looking at Wei, who was almost glowing with his whole body, and then looked at Zhang Liangke, who looked proud of his face, and couldn't help saying, "Sister-in-law, the fourth brother, don't be too happy. Liulang once said that there is no free meal in the world. Di Xiang is not a relative of my family, so why did he suddenly propose to be a big guest of Ding Li? Such a huge face can be my family have?"
"Well……"
The two people who were so happy that their minds were a little warmed up finally calmed down a little. Wei was at a loss for a moment, calmed down, thought for a while, and nodded: "What his second uncle said makes sense. Then... his fourth uncle, what do you think is the reason? Will those who are respected like Di Xiang plot against Liu Lang like the younger generation?"
Zhang Liangke was speechless for a moment. Zhang Luke said directly: "Sister-in-law, it involves political interests. Di Xiangna and others are more careful and will not be targeted."
Zhang Liangke couldn't help but say, "Can't it be because of admiring Liulang and cherishing talents? Di Xiang has recommended talents to His Majesty more than once."
Zhang Luke's contemptuous gaze was almost fixed: "I don't know that the fourth brother is sometimes such a naive person!"
Zhang Liangke quickly asked Wei for help. Unexpectedly, Wei nodded thoughtfully: "Then his second uncle thinks, what is the purpose of Di Xiang's move?"
Zhang Liangke: “…”
This sister-in-law is too unstable!
Zhang Luke reached out and knocked on the couch: "My fourth brother has forgotten that King Luling has returned. Your Majesty personally introduced King Luling to the Prince Di, as the prince!"
Wei, a woman from the family, was not very concerned about the government affairs in the past, and was shocked when she heard this: "His Majesty appointed the crown prince?"
Zhang Liangke said: "Although there has been no ceremony to enthrone the crown prince and the edict has not been officially issued, he has introduced the Luling King to the court officials in the name of the crown prince and instructed the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony of enthronement of the crown prince."
Wei nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "His second uncle looked at him... His Majesty is sincere this time?"
It’s not that Wei doesn’t believe it, but the empress’s criminal record is not very good. She has not only deposed the prince in front of her, but also deposed two emperors.
Zhang Luke subconsciously looked around, and Wei immediately said, "Don't worry, I've driven out the irrelevant people long ago, and now they are all my own people."
Zhang Luke said: "This time, that time. How is Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period compared to that year? What about the situation in the court? What about the hearts of the people in the world?"
Wei immediately understood and asked again: "What his second uncle meant... Does Di Xiang's move mean to win over Liu Lang for the prince?"
Zhang Luke nodded: "My sister-in-law is a wise man. The one Di Xiang has always supported Li Tang's descendants to inherit Dabao. Your Majesty has been hesitating for the past two years, where should the prince choose? For this matter, there are many people who died in the court and the country. Now the prince has finally settled. Liu Lang is now in charge of the Northern Ya Imperial Guard as a young man. Although he is not in the court and the country, he can hold an important position. The Northern Ya Imperial Guard is His Majesty's private army, and I think Liu Lang is better off in it."
Zhang Liangke was a little reluctant: "It is not a business to invite you to be a big guest. What is important is Di Xiang's virtue, not a sideline..."
"Fourth brother! Why are you still so naive when you have been in the court for so many years?"
Zhang Luke said innocence again. Zhang Liangke didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he turned to Wei: "Where is my wife's opinion?"
Wei hesitated for a moment and made a decision: "Listen to his second uncle."
Zhang Liangke was a little reluctant: "Where is Di Xiang..."
Wei said: "His fourth uncle, Your Majesty is now in good health. Liulang is leaning against Di Xiang now, asking Your Majesty what to think? Although people should look at the long term, I think we should keep our duties in this matter. Those who face two faces and forget their righteousness when they see profits will be disgusted by everyone."
Zhang Liangke was speechless.
Zhang Luke immediately said: "Will the candidate for Dabin choose Chen Zi'ang?"
Wei thought for a while and said, "Chen Zi'ang is younger after all. Don't worry about this. When I ask him Mrs. Zheng, see if he has a suitable candidate."
Zhang Luke and Zhang Liangke hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay. If that lady comes, with her background and knowledge, she will definitely have a comprehensive candidate."
