Chapter 206 Do you want to check?

Chapter 202

Li Lizhi had no choice but to go to Wei Hao. Early the next morning, Li Lizhi arrived at Da'an Palace. Wei Hao had just finished practicing martial arts and took a bath when he saw Li Lizhi coming.

"Is it so early? You're not cold, and what happened yesterday didn't affect you, did it? I heard that many people were arrested!" Wei Hao asked after seeing Li Lizhi.

"No, a lot of people were killed anyway. Do you know that those people who were interrogated yesterday corrupted 5 yuan!" Li Lizhi said to Wei Hao.

"So many?" Wei Hao was also very surprised, those eunuchs were too courageous, they dared to corrupt?
"Well, but my father asked me to come to you and persuade you to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts." Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said without blinking, wanting to hear what happened to Wei Hao Say.

"Don't go, girl, you are stupid. What is the Ministry of Civil Affairs? That's the place where Datang manages money. I don't know how much dirt and evil people have been hidden there. I'll settle the accounts. When something goes wrong, many people will die. Head, they will hate me, I am not afraid of those eunuchs, but you know what kind of officials are the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they are all children of aristocratic families, girl, let's not be fooled!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi .

"Ah, yes!" When Li Lizhi heard it now, it was indeed true that if Wei Hao went to settle accounts, and if something went wrong, those people would definitely hate Wei Hao very much, and they might want to take revenge on Wei Hao. What a thankless task.

"Go and tell Father, he promised me that I will rest until the Chinese New Year, so I can't go back on my word!" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and said.

"Well, it's better not to go, so many eunuchs were beaten to death yesterday, and now there are accountants in the court hall, just let them settle the accounts!" Li Lizhi nodded, agreeing with Wei Hao's statement.

"Okay, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi with a smile and said.

"I've eaten a long time ago, that's enough, I'll go to Father's side!" Li Lizhi said with a smile, and soon, Li Lizhi left,

Wei Hao laughed a little, and asked himself to settle the account of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. What kind of joke are you talking about? Isn't this terrible?

On Li Shimin's side, grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Hou Junji and other ministers were also sitting in Li Shimin's study, discussing the settlement of accounts between various departments this year.

"At the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I'm going to ask Wei Hao to do the calculations. Wei Hao is very good at calculating accounts. The accounts of the internal funds were calculated in three days, and many problems were discovered. What happened in the palace yesterday, I think you must also I know!" Li Shimin said as he sat there, and Dai Zhou, Minister of Civil Affairs, was looking at Li Shimin at the moment.

"Let Wei Hao settle the score, will he?" Cheng Yaojin asked first.

"Of course, and it will be very fast!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"This kid still has such abilities?" Cheng Yaojin was the first to not believe it.

"Your Majesty, did you make a mistake?" Fang Xuanling also stared at Li Shimin.

"It's true, the accounts of the internal funds are all calculated by him, because he calculated the accounts and found out many corrupt internal servants. Yesterday, the queen has already killed a dozen people!" Li Shimin said while sitting there,
When the ministers heard this, they all stared at Li Shimin with wide-eyed eyes.

"Dai Zhou, do you have any questions?" Li Shimin looked at Li Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I certainly hope that Wei Hao can settle the accounts, which can also relieve our pressure, but the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are complicated, and Lord Wei may not understand them?" Dai Zhou looked at Li Shimin and asked,
How could he want Wei Hao to settle the score? Yesterday, more than ten servants died. If they came to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs still doesn't know how many people would die. The officials below are going crazy.

"You don't need to understand this, do you?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, are you going to check the accounts? If you want to check the accounts, I agree to let Wei Hao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for audit. If you don't want to check the accounts, then sending Wei Hao to the Ministry of Civil Affairs may cause panic!" Fang Xuanling stood up at this moment, He cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin, while still looking at Li Shimin, the meaning was very obvious, let Wei Hao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts, but you must think carefully, this is not a trivial matter.

"Hmm?" Li Shimin stared at him immediately after hearing what Fang Xuanling said.

"Your Majesty, Wei Hao may settle the score, but if the Ministry of Civil Affairs really wants to settle it, there must be something to do. Will it be dealt with or not?" Fang Xuanling continued to ask Li Shimin, clasping his hands.

"Then what do you mean?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Your Majesty, your opinion is more important. After all, whether the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to be rectified depends on your Majesty's opinion." Fang Xuanling cupped her hands and said.

"Let's forget it. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will figure it out first to see if there is any problem!" Li Jing also looked at Fang Xuanling at this moment, and then said to Li Shimin,
Li Shimin heard it and became silent.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is to let Wei Hao go. There may be some dirt on the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but we still need to find out. After all, they have money from the imperial court to work for the world. It is okay if the accounts are not clear." Changsun Wu At this moment, Ji stood up and cupped his hands and said,

When Li Jing heard it, he looked at Changsun Wuji, and knew his purpose in his heart, which was to hang Wei Hao up so that people from the aristocratic family could attack Wei Hao, so he said: "This statement is wrong, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is certainly dirty. , but it is unreasonable to let Wei Hao go. Wei Hao is not a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He even said that he has not yet been crowned. In what capacity will Hao go? He cannot participate in government affairs without being crowned!"

"That's right, I mean the same thing." Fang Xuanling also nodded and said.

"Hey, are you troublesome? Do you want to kill the people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs? If you want to kill, let Wei Hao go. If you don't kill him, don't let Wei Hao go. But why does Wei Hao go, what does it matter to him? "Cheng Yaojin was sitting there at the moment, looking at them and said, they heard it, and they also looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"If it were the old man, I would definitely not go!" Cheng Yaojin immediately waved his hand and said.

"Well, so to speak, it depends on my attitude. You are worried that if you settle the accounts and solve the problem, many officials will lose their heads, right?" Li Shimin sat there and asked them. , the others didn't speak,
Cheng Yaojin said: "Isn't this obvious? Your Majesty, I'm afraid they will do something. Check it out. However, Wei Hao may not go there. This is a thankless job!"

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle, please see me!" At this moment, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, let her in!" Li Shimin said immediately,
Soon, Li Lizhi came in. Seeing so many ministers, she felt that it was not very good, but Li Shimin asked at this moment: "What does Wei Hao mean?"

"He won't go, he said you promised him to let him rest until the new year, you can't go back on your promise!" Li Lizhi heard Li Shimin's question, and she couldn't do it if she didn't say it.

"Don't go? When did I promise him? He didn't complete the task I gave him!" Li Shimin heard it and said to Li Lizhi.

"Father, this is a matter between the two of you, my daughter doesn't know!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin helplessly, and it was no use for him to tell himself this.

"Well, that's fine, you go down first, the emperor will talk to him in person." Li Shimin said to Li Lizhi, Li Lizhi immediately surrendered, those ministers also saluted Li Lizhi, Li Lizhi returned the salute, and left the Ganlu Hall.

"This kid is very smart!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"He's lazy, so I'm surprised. Why is it so difficult for the queen to ask him to do something at any time? Why is it so difficult for me to ask him to do something? What does this kid mean? Is it okay to have an opinion on me?" Li Shimin sat there, facing The ministers said,
Those ministers also smiled wryly when they heard it, how did they know this?

"Well, that's fine, I'm considering this matter!" Li Shimin waved his hand immediately and said,

Soon, those ministers left, only Fang Xuanling and Li Jing remained.

"Your Majesty, I can't check it. I don't know how many people will lose their heads. It's not that I don't know about the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It was like this during the reign of Wude. The family controlled it. If Your Majesty wants to check the accounts, it is tantamount to mobilizing the family. You have to think carefully about your interests." Fang Xuanling suggested to Li Shimin.

"You say you can't find out, so let them continue to be corrupt like this?" Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Corruption is not much, that is, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs purchases materials, it may involve a large amount of profit transfer. If you want to investigate, you can definitely find out. Your Majesty, if you let Wei Hao go, won't you put Wei Hao in danger The situation?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Actually, if you want to say that you can find out, after all, the children of their family are also officials. It's just that Wei Hao has offended too many people, and it is estimated that many people will be killed. It is even said that those businesses controlled by the family will also be affected. The loss, they will put the blame on Wei Hao at that time!" Li Jing was also sitting there, looking at Li Shimin and said.Li Shimin stood up, thinking with his hands behind his back.

"Xuanling, I'm just going to ask you, put aside Wei Hao's considerations, and just ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can it be investigated, and what will be the consequences after the investigation?" Li Shimin stopped, stared at Fang Xuanling and asked .

"The consequence is that, Your Majesty, you will be in a dilemma. Whether to kill those people or not, and whether to raid their homes, what I mean is to raise them first, as long as they are not excessive. When the time is right, it will not be too late to investigate!" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said.

"What timing is needed?" Li Shimin looked at him and continued to ask.

"There are enough children from poor families to be officials!" Fang Xuanling cupped her hands and said.

"How many years will I have to wait, I don't know if I can wait until that day!" Li Shimin stood there and said a little angrily,

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing did not speak, but lowered their heads. Now the court needs to consider the reaction of the family. If they deal with it harshly, they are afraid that the family will overreact.

If it is not dealt with, the common people will not be satisfied, and some small families and poor families will not be satisfied either. Moreover, it can be said that more than half of the money in the court goes to the family, except for those who pay for the army and hire coolies to work. , and even said that the money would not go to the coolies, because there are corvees in the court, and corvees will be recruited from time to time,
And the money was still earned by the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family said that they did not make much money in business, but every big aristocratic family has a large number of people. Those people are obviously much more comfortable than those from poor families. There are still relatively few people.

"Let Wei Hao go, Wei Hao may be afraid of offending so many people, he is also a child of a family, I can understand, but there are still things that need to be done!" Li Shimin said and sat down.

"Your Majesty, if you want to do it, you have to consider the reaction of the family. Maybe you haven't checked the accounts yet. Many officials from the family have resigned and left, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has fallen into a paralyzed situation. Your Majesty, you want to mobilize other people. Officials from the aristocratic family have gone, but they won't go, what will we do then?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and asked.

Li Shimin was silent. This was also something he was worried about. If the aristocratic family really united, there was really nothing they could do.

"Your Majesty, let them figure it out themselves!" Li Jing also said to persuade Li Shimin.

"Well, okay! Let them figure it out first!" Li Shimin sighed and had to surrender first.

And soon, there was news from outside that His Majesty wanted Wei Hao to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check the accounts. Some officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were stunned when they heard it. Then they learned what happened in the inner palace yesterday, and many people were stunned. Click!
"Wei Hao still has such abilities?" Cui Xiongkai, the person in charge of the Cui family in the capital, was taken aback when he heard this.

"Yes, it's being circulated now, but I don't know if His Majesty has made up his mind. If he makes up his mind, there may be a bloodbath!" An official of the Cui family looked at Cui Xiongkai and said.

"Well, no, if we really want to investigate, someone from their Wei family is in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right? Wei Hao can still do this? Even if Wei Hao wants to do it, I guess Wei Yuanzhao will not let him do it Right?" Cui Xiongkai thought about it for a while before speaking.

"It's hard to say now. Wei Hao has always been unpredictable in what he does. It's better to be more cautious. Now Wei Hao is the Duke of the county. He is young and high-ranking. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty, Queen and Supreme Emperor. It is an ordinary method. If you want to It's useless to scare him!" The official said to Cui Xiongkai again,
Cui Xiongkai nodded, thinking about it, they had suffered from Wei Hao's side before, and each family paid them [-] yuan. If Wei Hao was really ordered to check the accounts, it would be troublesome then.

"I'll go to Wei Yuanzhao's residence and inquire about the situation." Cui Xiongkai couldn't sit still anymore, he still didn't want this to happen,

In Wei Yuanzhao's mansion, Wei Yuanzhao also had a headache, and Wei Qiang in the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also standing in front of him at this moment.

"Patriarch, there is a lot of turmoil in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Everyone is worried that Wei Hao will come to check the accounts. You have to tell Wei Hao, don't come to check. If you want to check, we will be in trouble, and it will also involve the Wei family. business!" Wei Qiang stood in front of Wei Yuanzhao and persuaded him.

"The old man knows that this kid has never come to sit at the old man's house. The old man has invited him several times. Well, this kid still doesn't approve of the family!" Wei Yuanzhao said worryingly as he sat there. , he also knew that this matter was very important.

"Patriarch, you'd better go to Wei Hao's mansion and talk to him in person. If Wei Hao agrees, it will be troublesome." Standing there, Wei Qiang suggested to Wei Yuanzhao.

"Okay, the old man is going to his house, we can't wait any longer!" Wei Yuanzhao stood up as he said that, and was just about to go out, when someone came to report that Cui Xiongkai, the person in charge of the Cui family, had come.

"You asked him to wait for the old man in the side hall, and you said that the old man was going to Wei Hao's residence!" Wei Yuanzhao said to the servant, and he went out through the side door, which was closer to Wei Hao's house!
And Wei Hao didn't know about these things at all, he was still playing cards with Li Yuan. At noon, just after Wei Hao finished his meal, an eunuch came to look for Wei Hao.

"Master Wei, Your Majesty has something to do with you, please go there!" the eunuch said to Wei Hao.

"Now?" Wei Hao frowned when he heard it.

"Yes, now!" The eunuch said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Okay, I guess there will be nothing good!" Wei Hao thought about it, and said, soon, Wei Hao arrived at the Ganlu Hall, and saw the food in the study of the Ganlu Hall.

"Father, invite me to dinner?" Wei Hao stood at the door and asked Li Shimin.

"Well, let's have dinner with Father!" Li Shimin nodded.

"Father, what time is it, you can't be sincere, you have finished eating, you said invite someone to dinner!" Wei Hao sat down as he spoke, picked up a chicken leg and gnawed it, Li Shimin looked at it I was stunned for a while, didn't I say that I finished eating?

"Father, eat, you're welcome!" Wei Hao also called Li Shimin to eat.

"Well, haven't you finished eating?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm a half-old boy. I can continue to eat after walking for a while after eating. Don't you want to invite me to eat?" Wei Hao stopped there with the chicken legs and looked at Li Shimin.

"What's the matter? By the way, I want to ask you something, would you like to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked,

Wei Hao took the chicken leg, looked at the chicken leg, looked at Li Shimin, and then asked, "If I say I don't want it, will you stop letting me eat it?"

"You son of a bitch, do you think I'm so stingy?" Li Shimin shouted angrily at Wei Hao.

"Scare me, then I don't want to!" Wei Hao continued to gnaw on the chicken leg after finishing speaking.

"Why? Afraid of offending people?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm afraid of them, father, we agreed that I don't have any errands this year! I came to the palace because I need to play cards with the old man to win some living expenses!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Living expenses? Win? You, your family has 10,000+ money, and you still win some living expenses?" When Li Shimin heard this, he cursed at Wei Hao angrily.

"Well, what's the matter? Who thinks there is too much money? A penny is money!" Wei Hao said indifferently.

"What if I want you to go?" Li Shimin immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked closely.
