Luoyang Civil Affairs Ministry is equivalent to the national tax of later generations. Daxingcheng is the local tax, and it is a large household whose tax revenue doubles in a short period of time.

"The tax increase in Jingzhao County must bear more responsibilities." Wei Jin's position was firm and he would not give up until he cut off a piece of fat from Daxing City.

"Impossible. Jingzhao County now supports millions of refugees, spending money every day like flowing water, and the taxes collected have already been used for it." Yan Juncheng retorted without hesitation.

Now that the taxes in Jingzhao County have increased sharply, Yan Juncheng is full of confidence and directly provoked Wei Jin.

Such things were difficult to tell for a while, and the whole court was in a stalemate.

All the ministers focused their attention on Yang You, on the one hand, they were Daxing City, where Yang You stayed behind, and on the other hand, they were their grandfather.

Yang You moved his body uneasyly and coughed twice.

"It is a big deal at this time. Shangshu Wei just came to Daxing and was exhausted. Please take more rest and choose a date to discuss it." Yang You set the tone.

It's a day to stretch the sky, and now Yang You can only use this trick.

"Abide by His Highness the King of Dai!" Everyone agreed.

Although Wei Jin was helpless, he could only promise. After all, this was Daxing City. Although he stood up with great righteousness, he was outnumbered. If he annoyed Yang You, the purpose of this trip would be even more difficult to achieve.

Yan Juncheng was proud of his heart. His Highness Dai Wang was obviously inclined toward Daxing City. This was beyond doubt. The longer he dragged on, the more beneficial it would be to him.

...

Eastern Palace.

Concubine Wei had just gotten up and looked at the beautiful figure in the bronze mirror, looking at the shadows and pity themselves.

"Empress, your skin color is so good!" Wu Ma carefully combed her black hair behind Wei Fei and exclaimed.

"Where is it? It's old in the blink of an eye!" Wei Fei stroked a hint of crow's feet at the corner of her eyes and said in dismay.

"That's a smile pattern. The Empress has been having since she was a child!" Wu Ma interrupted Concubine Wei's self-pity in anger. She has been taking care of Concubine Wei since she was a child, knowing every change in Concubine Wei.

"How come you are not old yet! You'er has grown up and has learned to chase girls!" Wei Fei burst into laughter, and the room was filled with brightness.

Wu Ma smiled kindly and said, "Empress, your method is very correct. As soon as the King of Dai entered Apple Paradise, he noticed the granddaughter of Shangshu Wei."

"The granddaughter of Shangshu Wei?" Yang You thought for a while, "Is it the one named Mingyue girl who often bullied You'er when she was a child?"

"Isn't that true!" Wu Ma smiled,

"His Highness Dai Wang has a good vision. Among the officials in Daxing City, only the granddaughter of Shangshu Wei and General Yin's daughter are the most outstanding."

"Now Yu'er is fourteen, and it's time to make a marriage!" Wei Fei's eyes raised slightly, and a smile appeared.

In this era, men and women usually get married at the age of fifteen, and engage in marriage at the age of fourteen.

Wu Ma was stunned when she heard this and said hesitantly: "The Empress means to propose marriage to Shangshu Wei!"

"Yeah!" Wei Fei nodded. She spread her bun while shaking.

Wu Ma put her hair back on her hair and thought for a while and said, "It's a good match in Yemen."

Concubine Wei looked at Wu Ma’s bun with satisfaction, and her thoughts turned sharply.

It is the critical moment for Yang You to compete for the inheritance of the throne. If you can marry Wei Wensheng at this time, it will be of great help to Yang You. Moreover, Yang You is interested in Wei Mingyue, otherwise how could you give lanterns?

"But who will be sent to propose marriage?" asked Wu Ma.

At this time, a eunuch came to pass on the news.

"Mr. Wei Jin and Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came to meet with Concubine Wei."

Concubine Wei and Ma Wu looked at each other and smiled in a sympathetic way.

"The person who proposed marriage is here."

Wei Jin was promoted to the Minister of Civil Affairs, and was promoted to Wei Wen. In terms of seniority, Wei Jin, as Yang You's grandfather, wanted Wei Wensheng's granddaughter to propose marriage, which was really the most suitable candidate.

Wei Mansion.

The morning court on the first day of the New Year is the busiest. Wei Wensheng is already past his seventies and his physical energy is no longer as good as before.

After a busy day, I was exhausted. As soon as I got home, I went to the study to rest.

"Father, Lord Wei Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is here to visit." Wei Wensheng's eldest son Wei Du said that when Wei Wensheng was resting, he was the only one who could enter freely.

"Wei Jin?" Wei Wensheng's eyes exploded with a trace of light and immediately returned to turbidity.

"Come on your behalf!"

"Mr. Wei!"

"Mr. Wei!"

The names of the two are the same pronunciation, and if you don't listen carefully, it will be easy to be ambiguous.

Both of them are well-read history books, so of course they know this and laugh at the same time.

Wei Du brought tea and waited on the side.

After a burst of nonsense, Wei Jin was silent.

"You and I are deeply trusted by Your Majesty. We each stay behind and assist the two princes. Today, you and I will not talk about business." Wei Wensheng thought Wei Jin came for tax purposes, so he took the lead in blocking his mouth with words.

"Mr. Wei is so happy! I won't talk about business today." Wei Jin said cheerfully, and then he changed his mind.

"Actually, I happened to have a private matter today."

"Pe!" Wei Wensheng cursed in his heart, ten thousand crows flew past. It turned out that Wei Jin pretended to be waiting for him, Wei Wensheng to take the bait.

"Oh! Lord Wei, but it's okay!" Wei Wensheng smiled dryly.

"This is the son-in-law!" Wei Jin looked at the guard standing beside him and said.

"It's Dogziweidu."

"I heard that the noble son has a legitimate daughter named Mingyue, the 28th year of the year, and is well-educated and polite. He just happened to be unmarried. I came today and just wanted to have a family with Brother Wei."

"Oh, I wonder what Lord Wei is referring to?" Wei Wensheng had a vague choice in his heart, but he still had to continue his words and asked.

"It is Yang You, the King of Dai. He is also considered the grandfather of the King of Dai. However, His Highness of Dai is already at the age of getting engaged. But now the emperor is far away in Jiangdu. As a last resort, my younger brother accepted the request of Concubine Wei and came to propose marriage to the daughter of the mansion."

When Wei Jin heard Concubine Wei talk, he immediately started to think about it.

Wei Jin pulled the line from the middle to match Yang You and Wei Mingyue, and immediately borrowed the nominal and actual rulers of Daxing City.

With the support of these two people, the purpose of my trip can be easily achieved.

Besides, the granddaughter of the Duke of the Book of Documentary Wang Yangyou is a good family and is a good match. No matter how you look at it, it is a good marriage.

In his opinion, Wei Wensheng would definitely not refuse such a good thing.

However, things did not develop as Wei Jin imagined, and Wei Wensheng fell into silence.

A bad thought suddenly rose.

"Thank you for your kindness in Concubine Wei. It seems that my granddaughter Mingyue is really lucky. As early as fifteen years ago, my daughter had already made a baby marriage with Wang Zhezhao, the legitimate son of the Wang family in Taiyuan."

"Baby marriage is just a joke, how can you make a count? If Brother Wei is in a dilemma, I can write a letter to ask Your Majesty to give him a marriage in person." Wei Jinman said indifferently.

Although the Wang family in Taiyuan is powerful, Wei Jin represents the King of Dai Yang You. Any aristocratic family must bow down to the powerful Yang Guang.

"What kind of person do Lord Wei thinks of me, Wei Wensheng, as? My Wei family has always had a word of everything, but they have made a baby marriage. That means the marriage has been completed, how can we change it again!"

Wei Jin looked at Wei Wensheng with a dull look on his face. He really didn't understand why Wei Wensheng would refuse. At their level, marriage has always been a tool for marriage, and there are any aristocratic families who can compare to the prosperous King Yang You of the Dynasty.
