Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 15

When Empress Zhangsun heard Li Lizhi's words, she smiled, and then asked the palace maid to take out her waist card and handed it to Li Lizhi, saying: "That is the ability, let's see first, after all, you can make such a good one. Restaurant, and you are not very old, you also said that the things in the paper workshop are all made by him!"

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Li Lizhi took the waist card with both hands and said with a smile.

In Wei Guifei's palace, Wei Guifei was in a hurry. The rumors outside were very unfavorable to her, and now she really wanted to know what was going on.

About half an hour later, the palace maid came back, and she had already inquired about what was going on outside, so she immediately told Concubine Wei.

"Niangniang, this is what happened. It was indeed the head of the Wei family who brought someone to smash the shop, and just after the fight was over, a commander of the Imperial Guard passed by and took Wei Hao to the punishment department." The palace maid faced Concubine Wei finally said.

"What's this called, the family can still fight?" Wei Guifei was so angry that she couldn't understand it at all.

"This mother-in-law, I have also inquired clearly, that Wei Hao's father, Wei Furong, is a bit of a business-minded person. He has also made some money in recent years, but the family has been passed down for five generations, and there is no brother around to help, so the Wei family often Let him pay for the work.

For example, the family's clan, and the Wei family's children who have just arrived in the capital to serve as officials will also ask Wei Furong to pay for renting a house.

This time, they are eyeing a restaurant owned by Wei Furong. This restaurant has a very good business. Everyone says that the food at Juxian Restaurant is a must in the Tang Dynasty. Although the food is expensive, it is really delicious and worth the price. It is estimated that the Wei family also took a fancy to this and wanted to let Wei Furong out, but Wei Hao was a fool, and the people of Chang'an City knew that, so if Wei Cong went to smash the store today, there would definitely be a fight. "The palace maid continued to say to Concubine Wei.

"It's ridiculous!" Concubine Wei was still very angry at the moment, and this matter has seriously affected her reputation.

After speaking, Concubine Wei stood up and was about to go to the Ganlu Hall to find Li Shimin. Li Shimin's office was in the Ganlu Hall.

In Wei Hao's house, the head of the Wei family was sitting in the living room again, and with him were the clan elders, but Wei Cong didn't come and his arm was broken by Wei Hao.

"This idiot of your family is simply stupid, a reckless man. Today, the old man used to want to talk to him. I didn't expect that he would hit Wei Cong as soon as he came. What's the matter?" Wei Yuanzhao sat in the seat There, staring at Wei Furong and talking dissatisfied.

Wei Furong is very anxious now. His son has been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He has no idea what to do next.

"Jinbao, Wei Cong's side won't give up easily this time, but after all, this is an internal matter of my Wei family, and it's not good to leave it to the punishment department, so you still need to convince Wei Cong about this. !" A clan elder touched his beard and said to Wei Furong.

"Jinbao, your family is only an only son. If you are really locked up in the prison for a few years, I think your family will be in trouble. I think you should go talk to Wei Cong and spend money on it. Disaster!" Another clan elder also persuaded Wei Furong to say.

Wei Furong sat there and didn't speak, but he was actually very angry.

"Jinbao, say something!" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Furong and asked.

"Say what? Huh? What do you want me to say? Didn't you just set your sights on my restaurant? You actually sent my son to the Ministry of Justice building for that restaurant?

Okay, if my son is staying in the prison, I will go to the prison outside the prison, I don't believe it, there is no place for reasoning in the world, the entire Tang Dynasty, you have the final say! "Wei Furong shouted angrily at Wei Yuanzhao.

He thought that the big deal was that the fish would die and the net would be broken. It was absolutely impossible for them to succeed. If they succeeded this time, it would be difficult for him and Wei Hao to raise their heads in the future, and the Wei family would crush them to death.

"You, it's unreasonable, it's already like this, what do you want? Your son beat someone first, so you're right?" Wei Yuanzhao pointed at Wei Furong and cursed loudly.

"It goes without saying that you are so sanctimonious, you know what you have in mind, get out, get out for Lao Tzu!" Wei Furong pointed in the direction of the gate and shouted at them.

"Okay, okay, it seems that you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin, okay!" Wei Yuanzhao said and left angrily again.

"I said Jinbao!"

"Get out!" An elder wanted to persuade Wei Furong, but Wei Furong yelled loudly.

When the Wei family left, Wei Furong sat there worried.

Then all the women in the family came over.

"Master, what can I do now, my son can't be in trouble, master, you have to think of a way!" Wei Hao's mother pulled Wei Furong and cried.

"Why are you crying, my son isn't dead yet, go back!" Wei Furong shouted irritably to the women who were crying around him.

"Master, what are you yelling for? You have the ability to save my son. If my son doesn't come out, I will not live!" Wei Hao's mother shouted loudly again.

Other women are afraid of Wei Furong, but she is not afraid, she is a real wife, and she is also Wei Hao's mother.

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" Wei Furong stood up and walked outside angrily. He couldn't stay at home anymore, and he was upset when he thought that his son was still in the prison.

However, most of the officials he knows belong to the Wei family. Now the Wei family wants to take over their restaurant and go to the Wei family's children. It is estimated that no one dares to help, and he does not know other officials. .

"Go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, bring some money, I'll see if I can go in and see my son!" Wei Furong said to Steward Liu.

"Hey!" Butler Liu heard it and immediately went up to make arrangements.

On the side of Ganlu Palace, Wei Guifei asked to see Li Shimin, but Li Shimin kept asking her to wait outside.

Seeing this, Concubine Wei knew that Li Shimin must have known about this matter, thinking that this matter had something to do with her, she was even more anxious.

This matter, today I have to make it clear to Li Shimin no matter what. I don't know about the Juxian Building at all, and it is even more impossible for the family to snatch the Juxian Building.

According to Juxianlou, it was also opened by a child surnamed Wei, and also belonged to the Wei family.

"Wang De, go and talk to Your Majesty, just say that this palace has an urgent matter to find His Majesty." Concubine Wei stood there, the afternoon sun was still very vicious, but now Concubine Wei didn't care.

"Niangniang, it's not that I'm young and ignorant, it's that Your Majesty is missing!" Wang De stood there and said very softly to Concubine Wei.

"Why not?" Wei Guifei asked anxiously.

"I don't know about this little one. Before you came, His Majesty saw the imperial censor's memorial, and he was very angry." Wang De continued to speak carefully, in fact, he was reminding Concubine Wei that Li Shimin was in charge of the Wei family's affairs. Already know.

"Okay, then this palace will wait for a while until His Majesty's anger has calmed down!" Wei Guifei forced a smile and said to Wang De.

After standing for almost an hour, the sunset has already come out.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty let you in!" Wang De trotted out from inside and said to Concubine Wei who was standing there.

"Okay!" Concubine Wei said and walked inside, her legs were already sore.

Arriving in the Ganlu Palace, Concubine Wei immediately gave Li Shimin a salute, and Li Shimin said "um".

"Your Majesty, the concubines are here to plead guilty. The concubines and concubines use the names of the concubines to commit crimes outside the law and discipline, and ask Your Majesty to punish them!" Concubine Wei saluted Li Shimin who was sitting behind the desk.

"Does the imperial concubine know about this?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, the concubine also heard the rumors, so I sent someone to investigate, and I ask your majesty to believe in the concubine!" Wei Guifei saluted again.

"Well, daring, come here, remove Wei Congmin's post as Shilang, let him go home to reflect, remove Wei Yong from the position of the Imperial Guard Captain, and go home to reflect!" Li Shimin sat there and said.

The official next to the record immediately shouted yes, Wei Guifei heard it and did not dare to make a sound, but these two Wei family children must not be able to become officials in the court for a short period of time.

"The food at Juxian Restaurant is very delicious, and it has become the most famous restaurant in the capital. Although I have never been there, many princes and lords have tried it, and they all said yes, if this restaurant is closed, those Grandpa Guo, Lord Hou will definitely have an opinion, okay, you can go down!" Li Shimin said, waving his hand to Concubine Wei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as Concubine Wei heard him say that, she understood.

This restaurant must be opened. If it doesn't open, this matter is not over yet. Now it is those imperial censors who are impeaching, and then it may be those princes and princes who are impeaching them.

After leaving the Ganlu Palace, Concubine Wei immediately took out her waist badge and handed it to the maid next to her, saying: "Go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment immediately, pick Wei Hao out in person, and then go to the residence of the head of the Wei family, and warn them that they are not allowed to do so again. Embarrassing Wei Hao and Wei Furong, tomorrow, Ben Gong will go out to see them, it's ridiculous!"

"Yes!" The palace maid took the waist card, turned around and prepared to go out.

In Xingbu prison, Wei Furong has been sitting under the tree outside Xingbu prison.

Just now, he begged a lot of people, including the guards at the door, hoping they could let him see Wei Hao inside, and gave those people money, but no one dared to accept it.

At this moment, Wei Furong was very desperate, sitting there in a daze.

After a while, I saw a carriage approaching, and a palace maid got off the carriage and showed it to the guards with a waist badge.

The guards let her in. Wei Furong looked at it, and couldn't help but envy. People only needed to show their waist cards to go in. I just begged for a long time, but no one answered.
