Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 213
Chapter 209

Wei Hao was quite shocked when he heard his words. The servants of the Minbu, their aristocratic family actually said that it has nothing to do with the court, it is their aristocratic decision. Their aristocratic family can't decide who will be the minister, but they can decide who will be the servant. This is simply unheard of.

"You guys are really good, you're really good!" Wei Hao couldn't help sighing at the moment.

"It's been like this for many generations, Hao'er, you still need to seriously consider this matter. This time, the fundamental interests of the aristocratic family have really been affected. The settlement is just the beginning, and no one knows what will happen later!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Patriarch, is this a threat?" Wei Hao heard it, and looked at Wei Yuanzhao with a little displeasure.

"Remind me, as the patriarch, why am I threatening you? You have to think about it. With so many families, you have touched the interests of so many people at once. Who would not hold grudges? If not, they will kill you, Haoer, But it needs to be considered carefully!" Sitting there, Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao,

Wei Furong, who was at the back, was terrified when he heard it, what the hell does it mean? There is only one seedling in his family, so they can't lose it.

"You son of a bitch, do you hear that? Listen to the patriarch!" Wei Furong said anxiously to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong, seeing his anxious look, felt helpless, then looked at Wei Yuanzhao.

"Patriarch, I just want to know why the aristocratic family didn't speak for me when those people impeached me. Although I, Wei Hao, have some conflicts with their family, I am not an enemy, right? They provoked me in the previous incident, and I did not Take the initiative to provoke, this time, they blocked my way, I hit them, shouldn't it?

I am a duke, and I was blocked by a small official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If it were General Cheng and the others, they could kill them on the spot. I just hit them a few times. Is there someone who can speak for me? " Wei Hao sat there, looked at Wei Yuanzhao and continued to ask.

"No, it was Wei Ting who spoke for you. For this reason, Wei Ting was very angry. Originally, this matter could be suppressed, but because of the selfishness of other families, they actually developed their tenure. Unexpectedly, they fell into the trap of His Majesty." By the time we find out, it will be too late!" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao and said with a sigh.

"That is to say, they never thought of helping me at all?" Sitting there, Wei Hao asked with a sneer.

"Who wants our Wei family to get up? We all know that you, the Duke of the county, can bring great benefits to our family. Why is the Du family riding on top of our family now? Isn't it because the Du family has a Duke?

This duke, at a critical time, was of great help.Just like now, you are a child of my Wei family. If you check the accounts, if you raise your hand a little bit, the loss to our family will be much smaller! "Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao nodded. There is also competition among the aristocratic families!"

"Okay, I know, I can only say this, I will try my best, but I won't promise anything, and I won't talk nonsense, I just settle accounts!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said, looking at the patriarch.

"Okay, your words are enough. Wei Hao, if you have time, come and sit with the old man. On the family side, you don't know many children. You may not know if you have met them. If you fight , it becomes a joke." Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded.

"It's already a curfew, the patriarch, and Wei Qiang, just live in the mansion, it's not convenient to go out now, is it?" Wei Furong said while sitting there.

"Okay, old man, you're welcome!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded and said, Wei Qiang also hurriedly cupped his hands at Wei Furong,
At night, Wei Hao went back to his own yard to sleep, while Wei Yuanzhao arranged in another yard,
The next morning, Wei Hao got up and was still practicing martial arts. Eunuch Hong came over. When Wei Hao was practicing martial arts, the whistling sound of the weapons in his hands also attracted Wei Yuanzhao's attention, so he stopped a servant and asked what happened. thing.

"Patriarch Hui, it's our son who is practicing martial arts!" the servant said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"Are you so diligent? It's very bright now!" Wei Yuanzhao said to the servant in shock.

"Our son has been up for half an hour!" The servant replied immediately.

"It's been half an hour, okay, okay! That's great!" Wei Yuanzhao was taken aback when he heard it, and then said happily. At this time, Wei Qiang also came out.

"Patriarch, what's the matter?" Wei Qiang asked immediately after seeing Wei Yuanzhao talking to a servant.

"Listen, Wei Hao is practicing martial arts, the sound of swords piercing through the air! This child has been up for half an hour. This child will become a great weapon. If you have the opportunity, you must help your little brother. !" Wei Yuanzhao explained to Wei Qiang.

"Patriarch, I, if I have the chance, I will definitely, but I don't know if I can pass this level!" Wei Qiang sat in the back, talking very disappointed, worried in his heart, whether he could pass the level.

After Wei Hao finished practicing martial arts, he ate breakfast in the living room. They had already finished eating at this moment. Wei Hao had already explained to his family members that he didn't need to wait for him to eat breakfast. He had to take a shower after practicing martial arts.

Now Wei Hao was sitting there, eating breakfast, and Wei Yuanzhao was sitting not far away, looking at Wei Hao.

"Wei Hao, Wei Qiang, can you help me?" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Qiang heard this, and was also grateful to Wei Yuanzhao in his heart. At the same time, he looked at Wei Hao with longing eyes. Wei Hao looked up at the clan brother, nodded and said, "I guarantee that he will not die. As for the others, I dare not." ensure!"

"it is good!"

"Thank you brother!" Wei Yuanzhao and Wei Qiang immediately clasped their hands when they heard Wei Hao's words,

And Wei Furong looked at him in bewilderment, his son can actually save other people's lives?His son has so much power?

After eating, Wei Hao stood up and said to Wei Yuanzhao, "Clan chief, clan brother, I'm going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs first, time is urgent there, so hurry up!"

"Okay, okay!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded and said.

"Father, I'll go there first. You are at home, don't go out. In addition, at noon, let Guanshi Wang personally deliver some meals to me, especially the pancakes!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"I know, I know, you too!" Wei Furong stood up and said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, and then saluted them with fists together,

When they arrived at the gate, the soldiers also prepared the horses for Wei Hao. Wei Hao got on the horses and rushed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs with the soldiers.
After arriving at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the young people who assisted him in the work had already arrived, and Wei Hao smelled alcohol from them.

"Have you been drinking?" Wei Hao stood there, talking displeasedly.

"Ah, go back to Lord Wei, yes, isn't this a drink at night so that you can sleep well?" One of the young people immediately said to Wei Hao respectfully.

"Let your ministers come here!" Wei Hao sighed, of course he knew what was going on, those officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs would hold a meeting to ask them about the situation, if they were not drunk, how could they believe what these young people said.

"Yes!" One of the young men went right away. Wei Hao didn't intend to go in to settle the score even though he was standing there. Not far away, other officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't know what was going on, so why didn't they go in and settle the score.

Soon, Dai Zhou arrived at Wei Hao's side. "

Lord Wei, what do you need? "Dai Zhou came to Wei Hao's side and immediately asked with a smile.

"You tell the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to inquire about the situation, but if you dare to let them drink, don't blame me for catching him and sending them to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in advance. They are drunk, who will help me settle the score?" Wei Hao Said to Dai Zhou.

"Ah, this, you, you, who told you to drink?" Dai Zhou also smelled the alcohol at this moment, and immediately pointed at them, so angry that those people immediately bowed their heads and dared not speak.

"Go back to sleep, don't count this morning, go back to rest and start counting in the afternoon, if this kind of thing still happens, you should report to the boss of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" Wei Hao said to them, they nodded quickly and said no dare,

Wei Hao waved his hands at them, and then said to Dai Zhou: "They want to inquire about the situation, I can understand, but please don't delay our affairs here, do you have to drink? Dai Shangshu, this matter , you still need to warn them, if I come to warn them, I will arrest them."

"Understood, don't worry, I guarantee that nothing like this will happen in the future." Dai Zhou nodded immediately.

"Okay, offended, there is no way, the emperor's life is in my body. I don't want to do this, but there is no way to be forced!" Wei Hao said to Dai Zhou, clasping his hands.

"Master Wei, you are serious!" Dai Zhou quickly replied, and then Wei Hao opened the door and went in. Once inside, Wei Hao flipped through the ledgers and carefully looked at the things they recorded. It's pretty standard.
But Wei Hao soon discovered the problem. The salt purchased by the Ministry of Civil Affairs was actually 400 Wen per catty. I still don't know that the salt I purchased is the best, but the salt purchased by the Ministry of Civil Affairs may not be the best.

In addition, Wei Hao found out that the paper purchased by the Ministry of Civil Affairs was actually worth twelve cents a piece. Wei Hao clearly remembered that when it was sold to the court, it was a piece of paper for five cents, but now it is actually a piece of paper. Twelve cents a piece, what about this money, can Li Lizhi embezzle money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?That's impossible!

That means that many of the goods here are falsely reported high prices. Anyway, the accounts are recorded by the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the accounts are settled by people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs or those they bribed. No one will hold on to this matter.

Then Wei Hao went to check the prices of other materials. As long as he knew, the prices were all inflated. It can be seen that other materials were also inflated. Wei Hao copied a list of those materials. There were hundreds of items. I kept copying, and at the same time marked the unit price I calculated, and then copied a copy without recording the unit price.

"It's too courageous, it's so arrogant!" Wei Hao looked at the two pieces of paper that he had fried, and he couldn't even imagine that the aristocratic family was already blatantly trying to get money.

Outside, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were also worried. They didn't know what Wei Hao was doing inside. They were worried about being alone inside, but there was nothing to worry about!
"But don't go drinking with those people. Really, we don't know what Wei Hao is doing now!" In the office room of Wang Kui, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, several officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were sitting there, very excited. I'm anxious, I want to go in and have a look now, but I can't get in at all!
"In the afternoon, I'll find out in the afternoon!" Sitting there, Wang Kui said, now he is the most worried, and he takes the most money. If he finds out the problem, he probably needs to be punished. , that is, my whole family may be killed.

At noon, Wei Hao sat in the office to eat. In the afternoon, when those people came, Wei Hao asked them to continue copying. Now that they are proficient, they recorded very quickly. Did Wei Hao take them? With a piece of paper, let’s count first, and the speed of calculation is very fast.

Wei Hao counted each piece of paper twice, and Wei Hao also marked the paper, so that he would not worry about missing counts. At night, Wei Hao finished his calculations and went back.
The next day, it was still the same. In the evening, Wei Hao informed those people to go back to rest early, because tonight, he needed to go to the inner palace for dinner, saying that he was going to eat at the queen mother's side. The officials also came to surround those young people.

"Why is it counted so early today? How much is counted now?" Wang Kui looked at those young people and asked.

"It's more than half of the calculations. I think it will be finished in two days. Today, Lord Wei said he was going to the inner palace for dinner. He said that the empress would also invite him to dinner, so let us go back early." Among them was a young man from the Wang family. , Said to Wang Kui.

"The Empress invites Wei Hao to dinner? Hmm? Well, what did Wei Hao figure out?" Wang Kui continued to ask. They also heard that the Queen likes Wei Hao very much and likes to invite Wei Hao to dinner. Now invite Wei Hao to dinner , nothing.

"Forget it, but we don't know if we have calculated something. Anyway, after we have recorded a piece of paper, Lord Wei will start to calculate. With that abacus, the calculation is very fast, and we don't know how he calculated it! "The young man continued to ask.

"Then, there is no special situation? What did Lord Wei say?" Wang Kui stared at those people and continued to ask, this is what they care about.

"No, I don't seem to have said much!" The man shook his head and said, the others were also puzzled when they heard it, they couldn't figure out how Wei Hao settled accounts, and they didn't know what Wei Hao found out.

At this moment, Wei Hao also arrived at the gate of the inner palace and asked the eunuch inside to inform the empress!Not long after the eunuch finished his report, he immediately came over and took Wei Hao there.

"Queen, I'm here!" Wei Hao shouted loudly when he arrived at the courtyard of the Lizheng Palace.

"Come in, this child, isn't it cold?" Empress Changsun also greeted with a smile inside, Wei Hao lifted the curtain and walked in, only to find that Empress Changsun was alone, and the rest were little brats.

"The queen mother asked someone to call Lizhi and Your Majesty! You have not eaten yet. The queen mother has finished eating. Next time, send someone to the gate of the inner palace in advance to say that you want to come to the Lizheng Hall for dinner. Well, the queen mother will order people to do it, and now the queen mother has just ordered it, you have to wait a while!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm not very hungry yet!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Your father is also the same. It's okay to send you such an errand. The empress mother also told him that this matter can only be done by you. The empress mother thinks so. Over the years, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has treated your father's royal errands. That's enough, there is not enough money every year, and every year needs your father to find a way!" Empress Changsun sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"Hey, yes, the main reason is that my father is too foolish, he plotted against me!" Wei Hao immediately reported.

"I know, the queen mother said him. I said why are you plotting against Hao'er? He said, you didn't treat him well if you didn't give him face! You didn't treat the queen mother well, hehe~~" Empress Changsun laughed happily when she heard it.

"Of course, the queen mother treats me well, don't count on me, but my father will!" Wei Hao nodded immediately.

"Don't pay attention to him, your father is narrow-minded, he is like this, don't worry about it!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"No, queen mother, how are you doing here?" Wei Hao asked the eldest grandson empress with a smile.

"Okay, with your heater, the queen mother is very comfortable sitting here. Look at the slave and the son, they are very comfortable. The queen mother can also make clothes for them. By the way, let's not talk about it." This queen mother has forgotten, queen mother, I made you a suit of clothes and a pair of insoles, mother mother will get it for you, remember to take it back later!" Empress Changsun immediately got up to get those things for Wei Hao.

"Hey, mother, you have too much to do here, so I'll let it go!" Wei Hao immediately stood up and said.

"No matter how much I want to make a suit for my son-in-law, don't you need a new set of clothes for the Chinese New Year? Take it back, try it on, and see if it fits? If it doesn't fit, bring it back, and the queen mother will change it for you!" Empress Changsun smiled and came over with a cloth bag, opened it, took out the robe inside, and pointed to the purple county government.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, that's great!" Wei Hao said and gestured at himself.

"As long as you like it, put it away, and there are insoles!" Empress Changsun was even happier when she heard what Wei Hao said.

"Hey, have you made clothes for Wei Hao?" Li Shimin just came in at the moment, and said with a smile to Empress Changsun. "Well, it's Chinese New Year, and the concubine also wants to give some gifts to the son-in-law, right?" Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"Hey, see, I just said that my mother is good to me, and you are still not convinced!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin very proudly and said, while Li Shimin looked at him depressed.
