Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 353
Chapter 349

Wei Hao's arrival made Li Chengqian very happy, and he was even happier when he learned that Wei Hao had sent 40 catties of wine.

"Okay, okay, at night, it's the East Palace for dinner, don't refuse. You seem to have never eaten in the East Palace. Anyway, Gu is your uncle, and I haven't even invited you to a meal. It shouldn't be!" Li Chengqian smiled He said to Wei Hao, in his heart he attached great importance to Wei Hao's arrival and was very happy.

"Then I won't be polite. By the way, how about sister-in-law?" Wei Hao nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Okay, thanks to your sun room, let's go and sit in the lonely study." Li Chengqian said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, and went to his study with Li Chengqian, which was connected to the sun room. The tea set was also set up.

"Come on, please sit down. It's just the two of us. I'm alone here to make tea. It's not easy for you to come here. Of course, I don't mean to blame you. I know you don't want to walk around. Don't say that Gu is here, it's the father." Over there, if you can’t go, don’t go.” Li Chengqian was washing the tea set there with a smile, and said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, you know, I originally wanted to eat and wait to die, but my father always has something to ask me to do, so I am very worried. Originally, I can have fun this winter, but I have to be The county magistrate of Wannian County can't help it, father is too stupid!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a wry smile,

Li Chengqian nodded deeply.

"Your Highness, how have you been recently? I haven't talked to you for a while. Yesterday, Fatty and my third brother were having dinner in Juxian Building. I wanted to call you, but it felt like a mess. After thinking about it, let's forget it and go down." When there are fewer people next time, I will call you over." Wei Hao said to Li Chengqian.

"Ha, what's the matter, isn't that the way it is?" Li Chengqian said with a wry smile when he heard it.

"What's that? You're still not satisfied. I've heard some things. You, who are fascinated by the authorities, are confused by those mundane things and lost your way." Wei Hao smiled, looked at Li Chengqian and said ,
Li Chengqian heard it, glanced at Wei Hao, and then said: "I would like to hear your opinion. In fact, I wanted to go to you a long time ago, but I didn't dare to go. You also know that the father is very strict and lonely. Don’t dare to go outside and make friends with those ministers.”

"You are overthinking, so don't look at anything else. Whoever said that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have three or five friends, no matter how strict the father is, he will not be so strict. You, just say that you are a fan of the authorities." Wei Hao said with a smile.

"I would like to hear the details." Li Chengqian immediately looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Brother uncle, you are the prince. You can't intervene in the affairs of the world? Hmm? Since you can intervene, why don't you ask, why don't you ask for advice, meet the ministers, and ask them what strategy they have? What's the matter?" No, as for the others, you don't have to care at all!
You too, are you stupid? If the father is nice to Fatty, then he should be nice to him. What does it matter if the father is nice to his son?Who doesn't have a preference, but you are the prince, since the father is good to him, you can ask, I heard that the fat man often asks the father for money, as for why he wants money, you and I know , You are his big brother, you offered him the money, what else can he do? "Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian and continued,

Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao completely incomprehensible, wishing he could give that kid a good beating, and he could still give him money, what are you kidding?
"Look, you don't understand, Your Highness, if you give him money, what will the ministers think of you if they know about it? They can only say that His Highness the Crown Prince, as the elder brother, is benevolent and righteous, and he loves you even more. If you talk about him, how can he treat you If he wants to fight, what is he fighting for? He will be untenable in righteousness. You said, who among those ministers is willing to follow such a prince? Who would dare to follow such an ungrateful person?
If he is smart, honestly ask his father to let him go. If his father refuses to let him go, even though he has intentions, there is no need to worry at all. No one will follow him. As long as you do your own thing well and be more generous, Who can argue with you? Those ministers are not blind. They know better than anyone else what kind of person they would rather follow.
Besides, Your Highness, you have a lot of ministers in the Eastern Palace. It’s not that you want to curry favor with them. When you say more greetings, care more, and don’t spend money, you say, what will the ministers think when they find out? Think, you always think about those far-fetched things, but forget the most important things. You are a prince, and you should do your job well. You say, no one can shake your position, not even the emperor. ! "Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Chengqian,
Li Chengqian heard it, and sat there in a daze, thinking carefully about Wei Hao's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt right, doing what a prince should do, so that people can't be picky, this is indeed the right way.

"Your Highness, the concubine has brought snacks and fruits!" At this moment, the words of the Crown Princess came from outside, and Wei Hao also stood up when he heard it.

Then the door opened, followed by a few court ladies, carrying food.

"Meet my sister-in-law!" Wei Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Well, Shenyong is here. I am very happy, and His Highness is also extremely happy. I had dinner in the East Palace in the evening. Knowing that the two of you must chat for a while, I brought you some snacks and fruits. While chatting , you can try it too." Su Mei said to Wei Hao with a smile, and those maids also went to serve those snacks.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! My sister-in-law is still in confinement, so don't move around, if you get wind and cold, then I will be guilty!" Wei Hao said immediately, clasping his hands.

"It's okay, I didn't go outside, the house is connected to the house, and I didn't suffer from the cold. If I have to say it, I still have to thank you. Without you, I don't know how to get through this time. Fresh vegetables, and The greenhouse you made saved you a lot of suffering!" Su Mei said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Sure, if you need anything else, send someone to the mansion to let me know, and I will take care of it myself." Wei Hao said to Su Mei, clasping his hands.

"Well, fine, don't disturb your chatting, Your Highness, the concubine will take my leave first!"

"Congratulations to Her Majesty the Crown Princess!" Wei Hao also cupped his hands and said,

Soon, Su Mei left. Wei Hao stood there, watched Su Mei leave, and then sat down.

"I just heard what you said. Gu really has been educated. He is indeed a fan of the authorities. However, it is not easy to do well!" Li Chengqian sat there and said with a wry smile.

"Your Highness, of course it's not easy, but it's not difficult either. I've also heard that many people impeach you. It's okay. Let them impeach you. Don't be angry. Some people just like impeachment. He If you don't impeach him for a day, he will feel uncomfortable, if you are angry with him, it is really wrong." Wei Hao continued.

"Well, but what you said just now, I really need to think about it, it's really different." Li Chengqian nodded and continued.

"Originally, you are the prince. Since you are already in this position, you are still afraid of them. To be yourself, a prince should do good things. To put it bluntly, care more about the people, understand the suffering of the people, and find ways to solve the suffering of the people. , How do you understand? It’s nothing more than seeing through the officials and yourself, both sides are very important, knowing that the people are suffering, and trying to improve them, isn’t that the way?
You said that you have people in your heart, other ministers, what else can you say, besides, you are a prince, even if you don’t enjoy it yourself, do you need to buy something to reflect the majesty of the East Palace? , Is it necessary to provide a good environment for them to live in?
Who cares what other ministers said about impeachment?They also have wives and children. Could it be that all the salaries they received were donated? "Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Chengqian and said. "Well, you are right, you need to go to the people's homes. Two days ago, those officials who came back from abroad, that is, Li Deju, they all wrote memorials, saying The common people are suffering, and I have seen it all. If there is a chance, I really need to go to the common people to see it! "Li Chengqian nodded in agreement and said.

"Don't worry about other things. Father is like this. If you have nothing to do, I'm surprised. Can't he tell you clearly? Does he have to let people toss you? Can't figure it out! But it's okay, he Play his game, you do yours, didn't Qing Que's father give him ambition?

But this ambition, relying on the support of the father, can't go far. If you win the righteousness and the support of the people and ministers, treat him as ignorant, joking, or even be generous. I also persuaded him that this matter has not been done well, what should you do, how good is this?When the minister learned about it, he would only say that His Royal Highness the Prince is generous. "Wei Hao continued to look at Li Chengqian and said.

"Well, that's right! But now, Gu seems stingy!" Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

"Just remember one sentence. Prince is not only a position, but also a responsibility. Whether you can take on this responsibility is the key. If you can take it, no one can take it down.

If you can't afford it, without Qingque, there are other people, it's that simple, how can you judge whether you can afford it?That is, do you have people in your heart! "Wei Hao stared at Li Chengqian and continued,
Li Chengqian nodded, stood up and bowed solemnly to Wei Hao.

"Hey, uncle, what are you doing? Chatting is just chatting, you take it so seriously, that's not okay." Wei Hao immediately stood up and waved his hands and said.

"In this case, no one has ever told Gu. If you don't say it, Gu will not be able to figure it out for a while. Gu also vaguely knows what to do now. Although he hasn't figured it out yet, there is a direction. Gu believes that It can be done well." Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao and said.

"That's good, I also heard that you are unhappy in the East Palace, I don't understand, what is there to be unhappy, you don't worry about anything now, you should worry about the people in the world, if you manage the people well, everything can be solved easily. "Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Come on, sit down, drink tea, and try those snacks. Although they are not as delicious as those in your house, they are not bad. It's okay to try them once in a while!" Li Chengqian greeted Wei Hao to sit down and said,

Wei Hao nodded, and then the two drank tea and chatted,
In the evening, Wei Hao had dinner in the East Palace,
Li Shimin knew all of this and was very satisfied. In the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin sat there teasing Li Zhi and Sizi.

"Father, is my son really fat? Father, can you arrange a master for me, my son wants to practice martial arts!" Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin and asked, Li Zhi is just a kid now , I can't run steadily, and occasionally fall down.

"Not fat, my slave, where will he get fat, nonsense! Who said that, father taught him!" Li Shimin asked with a smile, pinching Li Zhi's face.

"Brother-in-law, every time brother-in-law comes over, he always greets me, little fat man!" Li Zhi imitated Wei Hao's words.

"This bastard, why is he picking up names everywhere, calling Qing Que a fat man, and Xi Nu a little fat man, really!" Li Shimin couldn't help it when he heard it.

"That's what it should be called, slave, don't eat so much at night. Tomorrow morning, I still have to go outside to exercise. Look, how fat I have become." Empress Changsun sat there, watching with a straight face on purpose. Li Zhi said.

"What nonsense are you talking about, how old are you, and you're going to practice martial arts in the morning?" Li Shimin immediately put his arms around Li Zhi, and said to Empress Changsun.

"Of course, look at Qingque now, panting after walking for a long time, is it plausible? You don't have the masculinity of a man!" Empress Changsun said while sitting there, frowning.

"Well, yes, I really want to urge Qingque to practice martial arts. He is very smart, well-proportioned, and strong. This has something to do with him practicing martial arts since he was a child. Qingque has never practiced martial arts, so it can't be done!" Li Shimin sat there, thinking about it. Once, nodded.

"Father, my son also wants to practice martial arts. If I lose weight, I can eat a lot!" Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin and said.

"Okay, the purpose of practicing martial arts is to eat good food?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with a smile and said.

"Well, when the time comes, I can go to my brother-in-law's house and have some snacks. My brother-in-law is biased and gives my sister so much food, so I won't give it to me!" Li Zhi complained there.

"Hmph, next time Father sees him, tell me about him!" Li Shimin said pretending to be in line with Li Zhi, who nodded with a smile.

"Shen Yong went to the East Palace today, and chatted with Gao Ming all afternoon, hoping to be useful to Gao Ming." Li Shimin continued to speak, and Empress Changsun heard it, and looked up at Li Shimin.

"Gao Ming, you are not steady yet. When you do things, you don't know the priority, and you can't hold your breath. You can show everything on your face. This is not good. I didn't say that I hope he can be scheming, but he can bear it and hide it. Living things is a must. Every time he is with Qing Que, his face will be black, and for anyone to see, isn't he dissatisfied with Qing Que like this? Qing Que is different from him. " Li Shimin sat there and continued talking.

"Your Majesty, if you support Qingque like this, how can you make them brothers in the future?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and asked,
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard it, and then said: "I will let them get along well at that time, now, Gao Ming needs to be polished."

"Your Majesty, this child Gao Ming has never experienced any big storms. He is definitely not as good as you were when you were young. But from the point of view of my concubine, Gao Ming is doing well now. Of course, he needs you to cultivate him. But, Your Majesty, don't give this to him. The child is under too much pressure, and now that Gao Ming has a child, he will surely calm down slowly." Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and said, Li Shimin nodded.

"Well, I know, Shen Yong also told me yesterday, and I really reflected on it. In the future, I will give him more opportunities and observe more, and I will not deny him rashly. You have to know, I I hope that he can inherit the great rule well, and that nothing happened in the previous dynasty, so I have to be careful and cruel!" Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and said,

Empress Changsun heard it and nodded, of course she knew what Li Shimin was thinking.

"However, Shen Yong is really good, this kid. Don't look at him for a day, but he is very accurate when looking at things! Taking care of the old man is also good. By the way, I will take some money to Gao Ming tomorrow, old man I took 1000 coins from Wei Hao and gave it to Ke'er!" Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was very dissatisfied. Of course, she also knew that Li Yuan had always favored Li Ke since she was a child, and Li Ke was indeed very similar to Li Shimin. is very similar.

"Your Majesty, I just can't figure out why the old man favors Saburo?" Empress Changsun sat there and asked.

"Hmph, I'm too embarrassed to say it. Don't ask about this matter, I'm going to blush!" Li Shimin heard it.Immediately waved and said.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly.

"Just remember to give it to Shen Yong. By the way, did you bring Shen Yong's gift?" Li Shimin asked.

"Not yet. But it's only been two days?" Empress Changsun nodded and said.

"Well, has the gift for Shen Yong's mansion been delivered?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Sent it over, and sent it all the day before yesterday." Empress Changsun continued, looking at Li Shimin in confusion, wondering why Li Shimin asked this?
"This bastard, I don't know how to send it here soon. I don't have any wine here. Also, I miss that little snack. It's really good." Li Shimin sat there and started cursing.

Empress Changsun heard it and laughed,

The next day, Wei Hao walked towards the palace with several carts of gifts, one of which was for Empress Changsun, one for Concubine Wei Gui, another cart for Li Lizhi and one for For the other concubines in the harem, no matter what, after the Chinese New Year, there must be something to send there. It doesn’t matter if you don’t usually send it, but it’s a bit unreasonable not to give it during the Chinese New Year.

"Shen Yong is here, this child, with so many cars here, I'm not afraid to vacate the house!" Empress Changsun said to Li Lizhi with a smile. She was in the conservatory and could see Wei Hao's face outside. Several carriages were parked outside the Lizheng Hall, and Wei Hao came in leading a carriage.
