"But after the Yingzhou Rebellion, the Baoli faction could not completely liquidate the Wei family. This was not good for Your Majesty. How could she watch the restoration of Daqian? The position of emperor must be passed on to the emperor who agreed to continue the title of Dazhou.

Even if his surname is Li, he must change it to Wei."

Li Xian suddenly realized.

Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"Now that we can neither give up on the Wei family nor support the Wei family as orthodox, how to deal with the double-edged sword of the Wei family has become extremely important.

"Even if there is an optimal solution, it is to use you, uncle, to balance the two families.

"But it is not convenient for Your Majesty to tell the two kings directly that they will not be able to become emperor's heirs.

"Because the previous two kings of the Wei family, especially the King of Wei, fought with the Prime Minister and the Baoli faction for too long, charging for the position of emperor's heir, and were intrigued by His Majesty's hints. They acted as His Majesty's black gloves and did not know what to do.

It has caused so much anger and resentment.

"His Majesty, who is proficient in the art of emperors, will naturally not tell him directly, which makes him completely disillusioned.

"So now, I have transferred my uncle to Xunyang City to restore the prince, but instead of directly transferring him back to the capital, I want to see what the attitudes of all parties, especially the two kings of the Wei family, are towards this trend.

"Sometimes, if you implement something at once, all parties will react violently. But if you do it step by step, everyone will be divided, and in the end they will pinch their noses and reluctantly accept it."

Ouyang Rong sighed:

"Your Majesty now wants to see whether Wei's reaction is violent, whether he wants to suppress his uncle or win over him.

"Besides, if you really want to win over, you have to give the Wei family some time to change. Now my uncle is temporarily staying in Xunyang City, which is a buffer time for both parties to contact and build trust, instead of waiting for my uncle to return to Beijing.

"So now, uncle just needs to stay patient and wait. When the situation becomes clear and the reactions of all parties are clearly seen, Your Majesty will naturally make the next move and send uncle back to Beijing!"

Li Fusu couldn't help but said: "Then... what if Mrs. Wei refuses to change her mind and chooses to suppress this trend or even eliminate us?"

Ouyang Rong's eyes are meaningful:

"Then Your Majesty will have to look back at our situation. We can't even get out of Xunyang City, let alone the court in the divine capital in the future.

"Of course, fighting like this will not be good for us or the Wei family. On the contrary, the Prime Minister may be happy to see the result..."

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but said: "But if something happens to my uncle, wouldn't His Majesty's best solution to ease the Liwei dispute be gone?"

Ouyang Rong sighed: "As an emperor, how can you put all your hopes on your uncle alone? Naturally, there are other backup strategies.

"Little Junior Sister. Sometimes, history does not choose the optimal solution, but the spiral upward. The same is true in the field of power."

Li Guoer suddenly said: "Just in case, grandma transferred you to Jiangzhou City to serve as the chief historian. Does she know our relationship?"

Ouyang Rong thought for a while, then laughed and said:

"That female officer named Miaozhen probably gave me a lot of 'good words' after I went back last time."

Wei Mei frowned slightly: "Tan Lang, do you think the Wei family is crazy? After the Yingzhou Rebellion, the situation has become like this, and they are still determined to be the emperor's heir. Don't you know that once King Xiang takes the throne?

Is the Wei family going to die without a burial place?"

Ouyang Rong stretched out two fingers:

"If I guess correctly, King Wei is very entangled now. The situation is indeed not good, but deep down he is unwilling to accept his fate easily. He is even still hoping for a life-saving straw.

"A life-saving straw?"

"It's the Xinding Sword. The Prince of Wei has been using the Liu family to make swords in Longcheng County for many years, just to use this symbol of the greatest auspiciousness in the prosperous age to gain a chance of winning... But now, this illusion seems not to be shattered yet."

Ouyang Rong and Li Guo'er looked at each other and suppressed their laughter.

"In addition, the Wei family has been so domineering and domineering for so many years. How can they bow their heads and succumb to the uncle's family? Especially because they are very unfamiliar and distrustful of their uncle. His uncle's surname is also Li. Who knows whether he will become closer to the Prime Minister?

"

Ouyang Rong asked directly: "Uncle, if you can return to Beijing in the future, how will you treat the Wei family?"

Li Xian looked hesitant, paused, and said seriously: "I listen to Tan Lang. Does Tan Lang have any grudge against them?"

"They should be stupid and don't be 'smart' enough to mess with me." Ouyang Rong, who had benefited a lot from being intercepted, shook his head and said again:

"For the sake of the overall situation, if we want to move in a direction that is beneficial to His Majesty, we need to do two things. First, obey His Majesty's wishes and accept the olive branch of the Wei family; second, show an attitude."

"What attitude?"

"In order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, uncle, don't even think about restoring the Qian Dynasty. Even after we return to Beijing, we have to stay away from Master Di."

Ouyang Rong said calmly: "This is what your Majesty would like to see happen."

"This..." Li Xian, Li Fusu, and Wei Mei were all stunned. Li Guo'er looked at Xie's sister and found that she was sitting with her eyes lowered, as if she had not heard the shocking words of her elder brother.

Ouyang Rong immediately changed the topic:

"This is still far away...Uncle, from now on, we must not leave Xunyang City for a step. This is the 'recuperation place' chosen by His Majesty for you.

"As long as you are within the city, you are safe.

"The eyes of all parties are fixed on this. If something happens to you, they will be investigated thoroughly. Once dirty water is thrown at you, or evidence is found, the perpetrator will be completely eliminated by the other party."

"I understand, Tanlang!"

Li Xian nodded vigorously.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked out the window at the night.

"It's calm..."

Everyone turned their heads and saw the weak crown counselor continuing to murmur: "This is the most nervous thing. Be on guard at all times, but there is no reason to guard against thieves all the time..."

Li Xian thought of something: "By the way, there is a little news from the capital. It seems that the Queen Mother is going to build a Buddha statue in Jiangzhou..."

"I already know this." Ouyang Rong interrupted.

"Tanlang, are you ready to watch?"

Ouyang Rong sighed: "How else can we look at it? Choose a location in advance, and then squeeze some money out of Jiangzhou Mansion's purse to prepare for a rainy day."

"As long as Tanlang is prepared."

In the study room, everyone chatted for a while.

Li Fusu grinned and said, "New Year's Day is coming soon, has Tanlang figured out how to spend the holiday?"

Ouyang Rong smiled.

New Year's Day and the Winter Solstice in the Zhou Dynasty were celebrated together, a total of seven days of holiday, similar to the New Year's Eve in previous lives.

Not far away, Xie Lingjiang, who was eating cakes secretly, glanced calmly at Ouyang Rong, who was about to take a break, and his eyes flickered slightly...

After a cup of tea, the lights in the study went out and figures left one after another.

The next day.

In front of a mansion on Huaiye Lane.
