Wei Wennan's ancestors were very glorious. The Wei family was once one of the eight great families of founding the Jin Dynasty. They inherited the title of princes of nine generations and passed to the seventh generation. During the Xuanzong period, the Wei family was powerful and undermined the emperor, and planned to change the dynasty. They were eventually attacked by many aristocratic families. In the end, they were killed and left without leaving any armor. Only a very small number of children were hiding their names outside, and then they escaped.

Wei Wennan's ancestors had an extremely glorious past, but that was a few hundred years ago. By his generation, even ten generations, their lineage was already a complete commoner.

So in fact, Wei Wennan's family background is a poor family.

Wei Wennan studied hard when he was young and passed the Jinshi at the age of 18. When he was young, he was full of energy and reckless, and caused a lot of trouble. He was safe and sound because he was loved by Emperor Pingzong. When Wei Wennan was middle-aged, he thought of his past when he was young, he gradually understood the reason. Therefore, he was extremely grateful for the love he had for Pingzong and made a vow to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty to the death and be loyal to him.

Wei Wennan was not trusted by Zhao Zhi because he was an old minister of Zhao Yong, the crown prince of Emperor Pingzong. He only valued his talent and ability. Zhao Zhicai did not kill him. However, after he succeeded to the throne, he soon sent Wei Wennan to Lingnan as the governor.

At that time, the situation in Lingnan was turbulent, and there were many people riots inside. Local governors had ulterior motives. On the other hand, Zhang Fu, the powerful minister of the barbarians and Yue usurped power and killed the monarch, and the Jin Dynasty severely accused him. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries was tense and a war broke out soon.

Wei Wennan served as Sima, governor and observer of Qianzhou. In seven years, he successfully resisted the attacks of the barbarians several times. He had many military achievements and showed very good military talents. Therefore, in the eighth year of Guangyuan, Zhao Zhi saw that Wei Wennan was low-key and did not greedy for power and wealth, and was respectful and obedient to the court, so he appointed him as the governor of Qianzhou and was promoted to the governor of the army two years later.

Pingzong was kind to protect him, and Zhao Zhi also had kindness to him, and was kind to him by two generations of emperors. Therefore, Wei Wennan was very sincere to the Jin Dynasty and the court. He did his best to do his best to do the orders of the court, and he would never dare to be careless. There were so many vassal states in the world. It was rare to see the governor who was as devoted as the public and did not care about himself like Wei Wennan.

In February of the first year of Tianhe, Wei Wennan went to Beijing to meet the saint, and for the first time officially proposed to retire and return home. Zhao Zhi tried to keep him. After that, Wei Wennan lived in the capital. This time he lived in the capital for nearly half a year. During this period, Wei Wennan met Zhao Zhi five times, hoping to leave Lingnan and return to his hometown to retire. Zhao Zhi proposed that Wei Wennan's eldest son go to Qianzhou as the governor and continue to take charge of his troops. Wei Wennan flatly rejected him, saying that although he had many sons, he was all mediocre and civil servants. He did not know military affairs, and he had no prestige and ability, and could not suppress the brave soldiers of Qianzhou at all. Moreover, Qianzhou is very important in terms of geography and military affairs. Those who are not talented and generous should not go there. The court should consider it carefully.

Wei Wennan's attitude was extremely sincere. Zhao Zhi then confirmed that Wei Wennan was indeed sincere in delegating power, so Long Yan was very happy and asked Wei Wennan to return to Lingnan immediately to handle the follow-up matters, and promised him that he would give him the title of princess, and give him one of his sons to return to his hometown with honor.

Unexpectedly, this journey would be the eternal separation of heaven and earth. Wei Wennan's sudden life and death will inevitably lead to sudden changes in the situation in Qianzhou and even the entire Lingnan Road.

Li Xun frowned and felt heavy.

Judging from Shi Hu's methods and actions, his next step must be to ask Qianzhou to stay and then write to the court. One is to show his loyalty, and then request to appoint him as the new Qianzhou Jiedushi. This is a common method used by the governors of major vassal states. If it were someone else or other places, the court might have tolerated it, but Qianzhou is not possible. Wei Wennan has always been loyal to the court. Now he is dying unclearly, and the whole family is destroyed, regardless of the reason.

By coincidence, it doesn't make sense. If the court ignores the truth and trustworthiness, Li Xun is almost certain that once Zhao Xun knows this news, whether it is a behavior or the actual situation, he will definitely be furious and order people to thoroughly investigate the matter. As for Shi Hu's request to stay in Qianzhou, he will definitely refuse. In this way, how can Shi Hu, who has already controlled the military power of Qianzhou, sit still and wait for death?

Just as Li Xun was thinking, Xiao Lezi hurried out from the hall and said to everyone: "Sir, the emperor let you in."

"Let's go, Li Xiangguo, today's things are probably indispensable."

Tao Kan sighed.

Li Xun nodded, said nothing, and walked forward.

Perhaps it was because of the arrival of Li Xun and others that the hall was quiet at this time, but it was not difficult to see from the expressions of some people that there had been fierce debates and quarrels here just now.

The nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, with Li Xun's arrival, are rare to gather together today, but their expressions seem a little silent. He Zhongkai sat there with his face flushed. It was obvious that he had just quarreled with someone, and Yang Daolin, Li Zhong and others were sitting there, some closed their eyes to rest, while others were holding documents in their hands and looking down. I don't know how long it had been.

As for the protagonist Sheng Shitong, he stood on the left, with a light expression and a solemn face. Although he was over 60 years old, his body was still upright.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun and others and said with a gloomy expression: "You guys are hiding outside so peacefully."

"I don't dare."

Li Xun and others hurriedly bowed to apologize.

Helian Chu Station straightened his body and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Zhao Xun glanced at everyone coldly, then said to Li Xun: "You are the prime minister, sit down and discuss matters."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Xun bowed and then sat down next to Xie Shiyuan.

Xie Shiyuan looked at Li Xun with an inquiry in his eyes.

Li Xun whispered: "Wei Wennan is dead."

Wei Wennan?

Upon hearing this news, Xie Shiyuan's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Zhao Xun looked at Helian Chu, knocked his finger on the table, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Helian Chu took out the memorial and bowed and said, "Emperor, Emperor Huhebari, the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, sent an envoy to ask King Tu Meng of Yan to marry the princess of our dynasty, thinking that the two countries are friendly."

"This Hu emperor is really interesting. He is not for himself or for his son, but he is actually proposing for others."

Zhao Xun smiled, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The memorial was transferred to the Political Affairs Hall, let the ministers discuss it."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Helian Chu nodded in his head.

Seeing that Helian Chu did not retreat and was still standing there, Zhao Xun frowned and said, "What else is there?"

The matters of the Ministry of Revenue have become terrible. Zhao Xun gathered all the nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall here, just to cut the mess quickly and solve it as soon as possible. As for other matters, they can push them back.

Helian Chu took out another memorial, his tone became heavier, and he said, "Your Majesty, Wei Wennan, the governor of Qianzhou, died suddenly."

Hearing this news, Zhao Xun was stunned, then stood up suddenly, pointed at Helian Chu: "Give me the memorial."

Xiao Lezi quickly took the memorial and handed it to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun grabbed the memorial and opened it to look at it. As he looked, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
