Chapter 16 Nepotism

"General Helan?! I haven't heard of it, nor do I know it, so what kind of knot came out?"

He walked home with Xie Jiu hand in hand, Wei Chi looked puzzled. Looking at Xie Jiu, Xie Jiu shook his head, saying that he had never heard of it.

Uncle Cheng handed over a gift list and said, "The General Helan also brought some gifts. Young Master, this is a gift list, please check it out."

Wei Chi took it and glanced at it casually. The gift was very rich. However, strangers who had never met each other and had no contact with each other suddenly gave such a generous gift? There is no free lunch in the world, so there must be something to ask for.

"Will it be related to what you have, you have come to your door and you have a high opinion of yourself."

Xie Jiu thought about it and reminded him.

"So arrogant? It seems to be quite a bit of a small background!"

Wei Chi suddenly realized that everyone had submitted invitations, but this guy was fine and came to the door directly. I thought Wei Chi would not refuse him?!

Xie Jiu was not convenient to see the guests, so he sat down in the small hall next to the living room, and Wei Chi went to see the guests. As soon as Wei Chi entered, he adhered to the principle of being polite and courteous, clasped his fists as a politeness, and smiled and said, "I have been waiting for a long time. I am here in Wei Ziyue, but I don't know that the general is..."

The living room was sitting for a young man in his twenties. His face was quite upright, but his face was full of arrogant expression. He looked at Wei Chi's eyes with a slight look, and he did not return the gift. He just bowed casually and said, "Mr. Wei is finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am in Helan Chushi. My father-in-law is Lord Hou Junji, the Minister of War. Now he is in the East Palace and serves in Qianniu, the East Palace."

The General of the Thousand-Year Guard of the Eastern Palace, the fourth rank, is indeed higher than the Wei Chi position, and is also the guard of His Royal Highness. No wonder he is so arrogant.

Wei Chi smiled and bowed, "It turned out to be General Helan. I am really sorry to ask the general to wait for so long. Today, the general is here to visit his humble house. I wonder what to do?"

Helan Chushi said: "I didn't dare to take it when I saw the teachings. I just heard about some things about Lord Wei, and I had the honor of tasting cabbage. I heard that there were seeds distributed. My mother-in-law ordered me to ask, saying that after she tasted them, she has been obsessed with them. However, the seeds were not released at home, so I asked me to see if there were any surplus. I hope I could plant one or two acres, and I could also have multiple dishes this winter."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "General Helan, Your Majesty personally inquire about this matter, and Lord Yan is in charge of it. Wei is just a mere young master. To put it bluntly, he is just an errand runner and he really can't make a decision."

Helan Chushi looked disbelief and was very heroic, saying, "This cabbage was brought back by Lord Wei, right? Since it was brought back by you, it would be just a small task for you. Our family will not ask you for your favor. The Marquis's Mansion will take it upon himself. When my father-in-law comes back, he will not lose to you."

"Two Tigers."

"Here, Master."

"Give me the invitations I have received these two days."

"yes."

Erhu ran to take the big invitation, and Wei Chi smiled and handed it over, saying, "Please see, General Helan, these are invitations received in the next few days, and each person's face cannot be refuted, but there are only so many seeds. The court left half of the child breeding, and the remaining half were divided into various prefectures. Our Sinong Temple cannot favor one or the other, nor can we let down the emperor's kindness, but we can only let down your love. Before winter comes, we can plant a group of more. At that time, after the court successfully breeds, the first person to distribute the seeds must be the governments in the capital. We also ask General Helan to return to the old king's words and wait for two months."

Helan Chushi was a little unhappy, and looked at Wei Chi with displeasure, and said, "Mr. Wei, don't look at monks and Buddha's faces. Now, my father-in-law is leading the army, and there are only women and children in the family. I am his son-in-law. I should take care of the mansion. It is rare for my mother-in-law to ask for seeds. Master Wei, I won't just sacrifice my face and let me go back to face my mother-in-law, Madam?"

Wei Chi smiled indifferently and said, "General Helan, the list was planned by His Majesty. The seeds have been distributed according to the list, and there is no remaining. The general's request cannot be achieved. Please take the gift away. If you don't have any merits, you will not be able to take it away. You will not be able to take it away without any merits and you will not dare to take it."

Helan Chushi's face completely collapsed, and he stared at Wei Chi and said, "Mr. Wei, even if you don't care about my face, do you always have to give me some of my father-in-law's face? Or, Lord. Wei hopes that the prince will come forward to ask for it in person?"

Don't know how to be proud!

Wei Chi looked at Helan Chushi very coldly, and he didn't listen, but he didn't listen. He only knew that he was arrogant and unreasonable and suppressed people with his power. Wei Chi said indifferently: "General Helan is polite. If he has the courage, he will not refuse so many people who want seeds, nor will he let General Helan drag the gift back. The list was planned by His Majesty. Doing things according to His Majesty's will is the duty of a minister. General Helan wants to force others and has no choice but to send guests away."

Helan Chushi smiled coldly and left. After Helan Chushi left, Xie Jiu walked out of the side hall and said, "You go into the palace now, don't give the prince a chance to speak."

Wei Chi nodded and wore his official uniform without even changing his clothes. Helan Chu Shi left before his front foot, and Wei Chi entered the palace. Because of the relationship between the princesses and princes, and His Majesty Li Er's concern for the affairs of the Sinong Temple, he specially issued a sign to Wei Chi, allowing him to hand over the sign to meet him if he had anything to do.

"Zi Yue is here, what's the point of seeing me?"

His Majesty Li Er met Wei Chi in the Lizheng Hall. In the hall, all the ministers were there. Looking at the expressions, it seemed that everyone was in a good mood and had encountered something good.

Wei Chi said: "Reply to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's order, all the cabbage seeds have been distributed today. Now only breeding seeds are left in the yamen. I will report them to Your Majesty, and I will also know..."

Wei Chi smiled bitterly and took out all the invitations he received, with a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, in the past few days, our Sinong Temple has received a lot of invitations and drinking. In order not to let Your Majesty down and not to make mistakes, today, Lord Yan gathered the owners of these posts together and comforted them. After I returned home, I felt that it seemed a bit insufficient. I beg Your Majesty to express my mercy and help me with a little help!"

Wei Chi said pitifully. His Majesty Li Er took the post and looked at it, smiled and shook his head, and said, "These guys are moving quickly."

Wei Chi continued to look frowning and said, "Your Majesty, these people, whether from public or private, are all elders of me. I don't know what to do with it. I ask Your Majesty to give me a mercy and pass on an oral or imperial edict, so as not to destroy everyone's harmonious relationship."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said angrily: "You kid, you just want to be a good person and push all the offending things to me. It's like this when you draw a list. It's really hateful."

Wei Chi smiled foolishly and quickly flattered: "Isn't this your Majesty who can do much work? I'm slight and stupid. Since it was your Majesty who promoted me and I'm doing things for you, your Majesty must share the burden, right?"

His Majesty Li Er glared at him angrily and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know your intention, you don't need to flatter you. For the sake of being happy today, I will help you."

Wei Chi was overjoyed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, your Majesty is merciful, your Majesty is wise and kind..."
