Chapter 233 ancestor worship
Chapter 229

The next morning, the head of the aristocratic family went to the palace, and Wei Yuanzhao took Wei Furong with him.

Those patriarchs need to promise Wei Furong in front of Li Shimin that they will not assassinate Wei Hao in the future. If they do, His Majesty can kill their clan.

After Li Shimin learned of this situation, he also agreed, and an agreement was reached that morning.

The aristocratic family will send the money to the palace before the first month of next year. At the same time, Li Shimin told the aristocratic family that the previous accounting issues will not be pursued.

As for the dividend distribution of those officials, we will not pursue it anymore. This matter ends here, and all the officials on the Ministry of Civil Affairs are arranged by Li Shimin, and the aristocratic families are not allowed to interfere. The children are here.

After everything was negotiated, Li Shimin hosted a banquet for the heads of those aristocratic families in the palace. Now the court still needs them to stabilize the hearts of those officials, so Li Shimin invited them to dinner as a gesture of goodwill.

After those Patriarchs left, Li Shimin was very happy, this time he won, and he won very beautifully.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity that Wei Hao didn't come today. It would be great if Wei Hao came?" Li Xiaogong said very happily.

"Well, this kid has been grounded. Wei Furong won't let him out. He still wants to kill those patriarchs. Fortunately, Wei Hao and Wei Furong can restrain him. Otherwise, those patriarchs will be in trouble." Li Shimin sat there , nodded and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we haven't given Wei Hao an explanation for this matter, can this not work?" Li Daozong sat there and asked.

"Hey, those assassins will be exiled to Lingnan, and they probably won't live for long. The patriarch of the family, we can't kill him now, and we can't give him an explanation. This kid, I guess he won't help you in the future." I have done something, hey!" Li Shimin sighed helplessly when he heard what Li Daozong said, and now he can only treat Wei Hao badly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not very fair to Wei Hao, and those generals and lords are a little bit dissatisfied." Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said.

"Are they dissatisfied? Why?"

Li Shimin didn't understand what he meant by this sentence, why did the generals and princes feel dissatisfied? What does this have to do with them?When did Wei Hao get so close to them?

"Your Majesty, if a noble family assassinates a county prince in Chang'an City, they dare to assassinate a prince of the state, and most of the generals and princes are not from those families. Now they see Wei Hao being so wronged and unfair. , Do you think they can have no opinion?
Li Jing was even more angry, but because of His Majesty's face, he didn't dare to get angry. In the past few days, as far as I know, many princes have gone to Li Jing. As long as Li Jing nods, they dare to kill those family heads! "Li Xiaogong said.

"What? This?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. He really hadn't thought about it.

"Your Majesty, Wei Hao is not only your son-in-law, but also Li Jing's son-in-law. Moreover, this kid fights fiercely and is bold. Who doesn't like the generals? Not to mention the generals, even the prison of the Ministry of Justice, who doesn't like it? he?
Your Majesty, in this matter, we still need to carefully consider how to appease Wei Hao, so as to appease those generals. In fact, I am also a little dissatisfied. Of course, I also know that there is no way to do it now! " Li Xiaogong cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said.

"Well, you're right. I ignored this. Wei Hao did things for me. I can't let him down, can I?" Li Shimin nodded at this moment, and he also paid attention to this matter in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's all right now. After all, Wei Furong came out. He forgave those patriarchs on behalf of Wei Hao. No one can say anything, but everyone is still holding their breath." Li Daozong said to Li Shimin with a wry smile.

"I know, I will give Wei Hao an answer, and I will satisfy those lords, hey, there is no way, there are no scholars!" Li Shimin said with a sigh at the moment.

"When will the library be built?" Li Daozong asked.

"How to build? It's winter now, the address has been selected, and a school will be built in the annex, recruiting 300 students every year. This is the key. The Supreme Emperor is going to be responsible for this matter. I am going to ask Wei Hao to assist the Supreme Emperor to do this well. Things!" Li Shimin sat there, talking worriedly.

He also hopes that these two things can be done quickly, so that there is more hope.

At Wei Hao's house, Wei Furong learned about the court negotiations.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Didn't you say that you didn't have much rest? There are only seven days left before the Chinese New Year. Tomorrow will be the new year. As for you, just sleep at home and don't go anywhere. Everyone knows now , you were grounded by the old man." Wei Furong said while looking at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, I can lie here and sleep every day, it's cool!" Wei Hao also said happily, it's been a long time since such a good cat didn't go out at home.

The next day was Xiaonian, and Wei Furong was busy all the time. There were so many fields, Wei Furong needed to go out and see the tenants at the same time.

Those tenants had planted the family land before, and now the land has become Wei Hao's, so they still have to ask those tenants if they would like to continue renting and farming.

If they disagree, he can recruit new tenants to farm for his family.

And Wei Hao's mother and aunts are also busy with Chinese New Year.

It's New Year's Eve in a flash, and Wei Hao needs to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. Today is the big sacrifice, and all the prominent children of the family have to go there.

Wei Hao and Wei Furong also need to go. At the moment, there are hundreds of people standing at the ancestral hall of the Wei family. They are all people with some status in the family. They are either officials or rich. The elite in the family.

"Patriarch, will Wei Hao come over today?" Wei Ting walked up to Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"Yes, about ancestor worship, Wei Hao doesn't understand, Wei Furong should understand, he should come!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded and said.

"Hey!" Wei Ting frowned, still a little worried.

"The money hasn't been raised yet?" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Ting and said.

"Yes, Patriarch, I have too much!" Wei Ting said, looking at Wei Yuanzhao.

Wei Ting personally needs to pay 3000 yuan to the family. This money is apportioned. For so many years, those of their children who have participated in the dividends have to give out the money in proportion.

"I can't help it. I don't have any money. If I have money, I won't let you spend it. I really can't help you with this matter!" Wei Yuanzhao also said worriedly.

"Hey, I know, everyone actually doesn't have any opinions, but the family doesn't have that much cash. To get so much money out, we can only sell some properties. Do you know that the land in Chang'an City has been reduced to 4 yuan now? It's an acre of land, and I still need others to buy it, and other families are releasing a lot of land now." Wei Ting said, looking at Wei Yuanzhao depressedly.

"Hey, can the old man not know?" Wei Yuanzhao said with a sigh.

At this time, Wei Hao and Wei Furong's carriage had already arrived at the gate outside the ancestral hall.

"Hao'er, this is here, let's go!" Wei Furong got out of the carriage and said to Wei Hao, carrying a package of sacrificial items.

Wei Hao took it over, and now those servants can't go in, so they can't tell Wei Furong.

thing.

"Go, slow down, Dad, it snowed heavily just yesterday, and the road is slippery!" Wei Hao held the basket in one hand, and supported Wei Furong with the other.

Wei Furong is actually not very old, he is 45 and six years old, but he is fat!If this is a fall, it will be terrible!

"Brother Jin Bao and Hao Er are here?" The person standing outside saw Wei Furong, smiled and cupped his hands.

"Hey, here we come, Hao'er is calling uncle!" Wei Furong said happily, and said to Wei Hao at the same time.

"Uncle!" Wei Hao nodded and shouted.

"Hey, go in quickly, everyone is waiting for you two now!" The man standing there said happily.

He stood at the back, which meant that he was at the bottom, but Wei Furong made Wei Hao call him uncle, which made him feel more honored.

"Hey, okay, you are busy first, let's go in first!" Wei Furong nodded with a smile, and then walked all the way forward with Wei Hao.

Some of the Wei family's children call Wei Furong their brother, and some even call them Azu, Tai Azu!

"Father, how old is our family?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong in shock and said.

"Hey, our family blooms slowly, what can we do?" Wei Furong sighed softly, and brought up this sad matter again.

Soon, Wei Furong and Wei Hao arrived at the innermost place, and those who stood in front were the official children of the Wei family. They were the core of the family and protected the whole family.

"I've met the patriarch!" Wei Furong said to Wei Yuanzhao, who cupped his hands, and Wei Hao also cupped his hands.

"Well, Jinbao is here, Haoer, you are here too, just wait for the two of you, Haoer, put the sacrificial items on the table in front, then take six sticks of incense and light them and come over, it's time to worship the ancestors, after the ancestor worship "At noon, all of you children will eat at my house, and in the evening, you will go home to eat, and we can get together all year round!" Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao.

"This!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao in embarrassment, today is the Chinese New Year, why don't you spend it at home?Still going to the patriarch's house for dinner?
"Okay, the old man agreed first, Hao'er, just come back before dark, when the family will have a reunion dinner, you have to stay with dad to watch the new year!" Wei Furong nodded first.

"Ah!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong, at the age of [-], can he really go to someone else's house for dinner?
"Ah, what, they are all the children of the family. You will be crowned in the next year, and you will also be an official in the court. In the future, you will also need to help each other with the children of the family!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, okay!" Wei Hao didn't say much when he heard Wei Furong say that, so he went to the front with the basket, put it down, and prepared to smoke six sticks of incense.

At this time, an official next to him immediately drew a good number and handed it to Wei Hao.

"Thank you!" Wei Hao nodded.

"Azu, you are being polite!" the official said to Wei Hao with a smile.

Wei Hao's goosebumps are about to rise, this person is at least 40 years old, he calls himself Azu.

"Okay, stand still!" Wei Yuanzhao shouted.

Then the people outside also shouted to stand still, Wei Yuanzhao stood at the front, and at the same time pulled Wei Hao to stand on his left, and Wei Ting stood on his right.

"Prepare to worship the ancestors!" An elder of the Wei family shouted loudly, and everyone became solemn.

"Raise the incense!" The elder shouted, Wei Hao and the others raised the incense.

Then Wei Yuanzhao began to shout the sacrificial speech. Wei Hao listened in a daze. He was talking about what happened in the family this year, and he also mentioned Wei Hao. Entering the court and becoming an official and so on.

After reading, he began to worship. Wei Hao saw others bowing with incense, and bowed himself. After three bows, Wei Yuanzhao began to insert incense. After inserting, let Wei Hao insert, and then one by one .

The people outside can only be inserted in the incense burner outside. After inserting, Wei Yuanzhao carried the basket with sacrificial supplies in it, and began to sacrifice alone, followed by Wei Hao, this was carried out family by family, Wei Hao and Wei Furong Together, Wei Furong carried a basket to worship the ancestors, Wei Hao followed behind and bowed and put incense sticks!
After Wei Hao's sacrifice, it was Wei Ting's family, and the family came one after another. Wei Hao went outside first after the sacrifice.

"You will follow the patriarch after the meeting. Dad is going back first. There are still things at home. Every year, the official children of the family will get together. You, too, will participate now!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, holding a basket.

"Okay, I'll take you out, give it to me!" Wei Hao took the basket and said while supporting Wei Furong.

"Well, don't talk nonsense, we are all a family, almost, forget it, let's not worry about those things, don't quarrel!" Wei Furong explained to Wei Hao.

"Don't worry!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

After sending Wei Furong away, Wei Hao waited inside. After all the sacrifices were over, Wei Hao followed Wei Yuanzhao and took the path to Wei Yuanzhao's mansion with the official children.

"Wei Hao, let me tell you something, can you buy my field, I will give you 750 mu of land, and you will give me 3000 yuan. They are all good farmland. Although it is not in Chang'an, the location is also possible. Riding a horse It will take half a day at most!" Wei Ting pulled Wei Hao and whispered to Wei Hao.

"No, why are you selling the fields? Are you in trouble?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting incomprehensibly and asked.

"Tsk, isn't this going to fill the hole in our family? I'm going to spend 3000 yuan! I won't have so much money in a while. Part of the money before was used to buy a house, and part was used to buy a field. I just bought 750 mu of land, no, it was emptied at once!" Wei Ting said to Wei Hao helplessly.

"Oh. This matter, 3000 yuan, how much money does your own family have?" Wei Hao asked what was going on when he thought about it.

"How can there be so much, the family is only 100 yuan!" Wei Ting said very worriedly.

"Okay, don't sell it anymore. After the next year, come to my house and I will give you 3000 yuan. When you have money, you can return it to me. My family is not short of land. Now my father is still worried. So many How to manage the land is a problem!" Wei Hao said to Wei Ting.

"Then I'll take it seriously. I really don't have any. I really don't have much money left over from the past few years." Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao in surprise and said.

"I can still tell lies, it's good to fill this hole, otherwise, no one knows when this incident will break out, and it will kill you at that time. You are now in Shangshu Province. After a few years, It is possible to be one of the six ministers, but you can't ruin your future because of such a thing!" Wei Hao said to Wei Ting.

"That's right, everyone was worried before, but now His Majesty has also said that what happened before the hole was filled, let the past be ignored, so what else do you have to say, it's better than going to jail, Wei Qiang is still in the cell now!" Wei Qiang Ting nodded and said.

"Still in the cell? He's not a big official, why hasn't he gotten out yet?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting and asked.

"This matter has not been interrogated yet, how can it be released? I guess it is difficult for him. I heard that those who were arrested are likely to be exiled to Lingnan. They are unlucky! Hey!" Wei Ting said there with a sigh .

Wei Yuanzhao, who was walking in front, had actually been listening to the two of them talking, and the officials behind were also listening. After all, when the two of them were talking, no one else dared to interrupt.

"Oh, okay, I'll go to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment at that time. If it doesn't work, I'll go to my father and let him out. How big a deal can a small office worker do!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"There are two more people, Wei Chen and Wei Qing, you have to think of a way!" At this time, Wei Yuanzhao turned to look at Wei Hao and said.

"What level are they? Why don't I know?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"Both of them are at the bottom of the ranks, and they were also arrested. Both of them are from the eighth rank, and they have only been in office for three years!" Wei Yuanzhao said.

"No, you are too stupid, aren't you?" Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao, asking them to do such a thing in only three years.

"What do you know, before the Ministry of Civil Affairs was promoted very quickly, and there are benefits. To be able to enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the old man spent a lot of effort and even asked Concubine Wei Gui. Who knew the result would be like this. Let's even fish out the two of them!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao, on the other hand, looked at Wei Yuanzhao depressedly. He thought he was alone, but now that there are three of them, it would be hard to get money.

"And that. Can you talk in the cell? Their family has been begging me, hoping that I can give them something. You say, I can't get in, Your Majesty won't let it! See if you can." Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"There is still a place in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that I can't get in? What do I get?" Wei Hao said with a smile when he heard it.

I am not familiar with other places, but I am quite familiar with the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"It's just some clothes and books!" Wei Ting said to Wei Hao, hoping that Wei Hao could help deliver them.
