Chapter 394

Li Lizhi left soon, and Wei Hao was sitting there drinking tea. Now he also knows that there must be many memorials on Li Shimin's side. Otherwise, Li Lizhi would never know, even she would know. Those ministers outside, no one knows,

After eating at noon, Wei Hao continued to go to the construction site. He didn't care about the impeachment. He needed to do something on his side. There are still a lot of people.
Digging sand on the side of the Weihe River and the Bahe River, before the water rises, but it needs to be dug well first. Those people are also hired by the county government. The first condition is that they must be people registered in the Wannian register. , If they are not registered, or they are not from Wannian County, they cannot come to work, and on the construction site, except for those craftsmen, other ordinary laborers must do the same.

"The county magistrate is here!" Wei Hao had just arrived at the Bahe River, watching the people digging the sand, and one of the people saw it and immediately yelled.

"Hello Mr. County!"

"Good morning magistrate!".
Those people shouted Wei Hao, those people's daily wages are six cents, which is a lot of money, one day's wages can feed a family for two days, if there are many strong men in the family, there will be a lot of money left over.

"Well, hurry up and dig. If you work overtime at night, you will be charged 3 cents. When the ice starts to melt on a large scale, you won't be able to dig!" Wei Hao said to the common people with a smile, and a county lieutenant in charge also came over. .

"The county magistrate will work overtime at night. We don't need to urge you to do this. Those people are working hard, and they have to eat. They must be working hard!" The county lieutenant came to Wei Hao and reported.

"Well, you've worked hard, hurry up on this matter!" Wei Hao said to the county lieutenant.

"It's hard work, but the county magistrate is helping us people with things. What I said is hard work. I still have 20 Wen a day. That's not a small amount of money!" The county lieutenant immediately said with a smile.

"Well, good, let them pay attention to safety. Be careful of the upstream water, don't be washed away by the flood. Those sands will be of great use. When the time comes, the entire county will have to build roads, and a lot of sand will be needed!" Wei Hao nodded and said to them.

"I know, I put three people in the land 10 miles upstream. If you find a big flood coming, you should immediately order cow dung. If you see it here, all of them will come up!" The county captain said to Wei Hao.

"Put it as far away as possible and let people watch the river. However, I don't think the flood will come all at once. It must be rising slowly. The temperature has also risen in the past few days. On the road, I saw ice. It's all starting to melt, it seems that the river has also risen a little bit!" Wei Hao looked at the county lieutenant and said, and then continued to watch the people working.

"Yes, the flood came without saying anything, and it all rose slowly. I estimate that the ones in the middle of the river can be dug for three or two days at most, but the ones by the river can still be dug for a long time. By the way, County magistrate, during this time, many people who are not registered have also come to ask if we still need someone! I didn't agree." The county lieutenant reported to Wei Hao.

"I can't promise. Why, they don't have them when paying taxes. When it's beneficial, they run out. Why do I pay our people such high wages? Isn't it because I hope that the people will have two dollars in their hands and be able to support their families by then? make ends meet,
This time, our workshop can recruit all the men from the whole county. Moreover, the construction site also needs a large number of people who don’t pay taxes. Taxation people, if you look at our county government, since their lords can protect them, let them continue to protect them, we don't care, they are not the citizens of our county! "Wei Hao immediately told the county lieutenant to say.

"Yes, all the people now say that the magistrate is a person who really considers the people, and, recently, we are planning to build affordable houses in those villages. Although the area is small, the people are really grateful.

In fact, it doesn’t cost a lot of money. I estimate that after all the construction is completed, it will cost 2000 guan, but the previous county magistrates have never thought about this problem. If it can't be finished in one year, then it can be done in two years, but no one has thought about it! "The county magistrate said with emotion. This person is called Liu Junqi. He is about 2000 years old. He has been a county lieutenant in Wannian County for nearly 40 years. He has not been able to go up. It is the local people, because it does not matter , has been mixed with the position of the county lieutenant.

"Well, take your time and keep an eye on it!" Wei Hao said to Liu Junqi.

"Yes, the county magistrate!" Liu Junqi immediately cupped his hands and said, Wei Hao looked at it for a while, then went back, and then went to Dongjiao Workshop to have a look. It was almost dark before Wei Hao returned to the house.

"My lord, Li Pu is here, and I'll have tea with the master in the living room!" The porter saw Wei Hao coming back, and immediately came over and said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, good!" Wei Hao nodded, got off his horse, and walked straight to the living room. In the living room, he found Li Jing and his father drinking tea and chatting.

"Father, father-in-law!" Wei Hao came in with a smile, handed the sword to Wei Dashan beside him, and went to the tea table.

"Shen Yong is back? You are busier than the old man this day." Li Jing smiled and said, looking at Wei Hao who came over.

Wei Hao sat down with a wry smile, took Wei Furong's tea and started to drink it up, and then said: "There is no way, there are many things, many things, the people below don't understand, I need to keep an eye on them." That’s right, this staring is just one day, and the time is just gone!”

"Well, but we can't be so hasty!" Li Jing said, stroking his beard.

"Shen Yong, you come to make some tea. Dad, go and order the kitchen to make some more delicious dishes. Later, I will have two more cups with Brother Yao!" Wei Furong stood up and said to Wei Hao. He knew that Li Jing must be He has something to ask Wei Hao, and he can't hear and doesn't want to hear about the affairs of the court. After all, he is not a member of the court, and he doesn't know the twists and turns inside.

"Shen Yong, do you know about your impeachment?" Li Jing asked Wei Hao,

Wei Hao took Wei Furong's place, first poured tea for Li Jing, then smiled and said: "I don't know the details, but I can predict that for some ministers with courts, this is a rare sight." It’s a good opportunity, they will definitely hold on to it!”

When Li Jing heard it, he thought that since you knew it, why would you still do this, causing yourself all kinds of troubles.

"Shen Yong, there are many civil servants who impeached you. Among the six books, four ministers impeached you, and there are even more ministers. There are also Yushi, Menxia Province, and Zhongshu Province. They all impeached you. This time, they did it. Unwise." Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Father-in-law, tell me, I have nothing to trouble them every day. If I don't trouble myself, they can easily let me go. It's fun to have a relationship!" Wei Hao smiled, looked at Li Jing's cryptic words, When Li Jing heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood that Wei Hao did it on purpose, he did this on purpose.

"You child? You can't joke about your own future. Some people say that you want to cut the duke. You have two duke titles. I don't know how many people are jealous. If you are not the son-in-law of the old man, the old man will be jealous. We people Accompanying His Majesty in the South and North Wars, with so many military exploits, is nothing more than a duke of the country,

And you, just crowned, are the dukes of two countries. Of course, everyone knows that your contribution is actually great, but everyone is not convinced. Why can you get two dukes for a brat? Is it because you are His Majesty's son-in-law?

Those people even complained a little bit towards His Majesty, but you are really fighting for His Majesty. In just over a year, you have suppressed the aristocratic family so much that you can't lift your head. Now you are taking the initiative to send you to the palace Girls, and for royal girls, they are also scrambling to get them, not to mention officials,

In the past, His Majesty had to arrange officials of the fifth grade and above, and he had to consider the opinions of the aristocratic family. Now His Majesty can arrange whatever he wants. These are all your credits, but you can't use your credits indiscriminately. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it! "Li Jing looked at Wei Hao, stroked his beard, and reminded Wei Hao.

"Father-in-law, my credits are not limited to these. I still have a lot of credits, which cannot be made public. Besides, father-in-law, you said, I have so many credits, if I don't waste some, what will I do then?" Wei Hao continued. Looking at Li Jing with a smile, he said,

Li Jing looked at Wei Hao in horror. He didn't think of this level. When the incident just happened, he thought that Wei Hao did it on purpose, but he thought it was impossible. The duke of the state must be lowered to the earl, and ordinary officials are very likely to beheaded. Li Jing thinks that Wei Hao can't do it on purpose, but now according to Wei Hao, Wei Hao really did it on purpose, and He also deliberately reduced part of his credit.

"Father-in-law, I know that you are very cautious. In fact, I am also very cautious. The heights are extremely cold, and now I really understand! Therefore, I can only walk on thin ice, but fortunately, everything is still controllable!" Wei Hao Looking at Li Jing with a wry smile, he said,

Hearing what Wei Hao said, Li Jing nodded with a smile. He knew that Wei Hao understood that, otherwise Wei Hao would not have done the things that Meng Lang did before he left.

"It's good that you understand, then father-in-law doesn't have anything to worry about, you will definitely go to court tomorrow, and many ministers will impeach you in person, you have to hold back!" Li Jing was satisfied with Wei Hao Said.

"Father-in-law, am I a tolerant person? If I endure, the punishment will be more severe. I just can't bear it, so I will cut them!" Wei Hao sat there, complacently looked at them and said,

Li Jing didn't react for a while, then stroked his beard and laughed, then pointed at Wei Hao, without saying anything.

"Come, drink tea, father-in-law!" Wei Hao made a gesture of invitation.

"You child, I am really surprised. I am very satisfied. Siyuan is following you. I am very satisfied and relieved. Okay, since you have made your own plans, that's fine. Now it's up to His Majesty to punish you. , By the way, what punishment do you think His Majesty will give you?" Li Jing asked Wei Hao, how Li Shimin punished, that was an attitude, that is, whether Li Shimin really trusted Wei Hao.

"Either fine money, I think it will be very heavy, but I won't really take the money out, I guess it will still be used to repair the palace, if this is the case, then it's okay, if it is really going to cut the title, it's very bad It's heavy, let's see it later!" Wei Hao sat there, thought for a while and said,
If it is in the front, it means that Li Shimin still trusts him very much. If it is in the back, it means that Li Shimin has begun to guard against Wei Hao. The attitude inside is very important, and Wei Hao also wants to test it.

"Today, His Majesty is in the study, scolding you, saying that you did it on purpose, and kept scolding, to clean you up." Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao smiled, he was doing it on purpose. of,
"But having said that, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager really trust you, Empress Empress, and sent someone to send [-] coins to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the morning. However, the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not dare to accept it, and Your Majesty also sent someone to send it back. It’s too late, and you’re saying that your mother is making trouble!” Li Jing continued to say to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but he was still a little moved. The Empress still cares about herself, and she still cares about herself.

"I'll go to the Lizheng Hall later, so I can accompany my mother!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Well, tomorrow morning, what are you going to do? If you are strict, your father-in-law will tell you. By the way, I heard that you are going to go for an outing in three days?" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao as he spoke.

"Yes, at noon, Li Zhi came to the county government to look for me. Spring is here, so it's time to go out and have a look, okay!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"That's alright, then you go play." Li Jing nodded, and after a while, Wei Furong came over, dragged Li Jing to the dining table, and was about to eat. Wei Hao also drank a small cup with him. Can't drink, mostly Wei Furong and Li Jing are drinking,

Li Jing admired Wei Furong very much, because Wei Furong was able to do it, and the people in the entire West City admired him. Such a person is really kind-hearted.

After the meal, Wei Hao personally sent Li Jing back, and it was not far away.

In the study room of Ganlu Hall, Eunuch Hong also gave Li Shimin a piece of paper, which recorded the names of those who went to Dai Zhou's mansion in the past three days, and the names of Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji appeared on the paper.After Li Shimin read it, he took it to the candle next to him and burned it, and Eunuch Hong also retreated wisely.

"Why bother? How stingy it seems to be doing this! It's just for one breath when you can't get along with a junior?" Li Shimin said with emotion in his heart,

For Changsun Wuji, I have given you everything I should have given you, and I have given you some of what I should not have given,
Not to mention Hou Junji, who made him the Minister of the Ministry of War. He also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials before. Learning the art of war, the art of war is learned, but for this teacher, there are quite a few criticisms, how is your heart?Li Shimin knew very well that now, the two of them joined forces to deal with their son-in-law, which made him a little annoyed.

The next morning, after Wei Hao woke up, he went to practice martial arts in the school grounds of the mansion. Just after practicing for a while, an eunuch came to the palace and said that His Majesty summoned Wei Hao to attend the court meeting. After Wei Hao heard about it, he immediately went to wash up , then changed clothes, went to the palace across the river,

When he arrived at Chengtianmen, he found that the gate of the imperial palace had already been opened. Wei Hao hurried to the Ganlu Palace. From a distance, he saw that there were still ministers outside. Wei Hao was also relieved, but he still walked quickly. , thinking about it soon,
When they got to Ganlu Hall, those civil servants saw Wei Hao approaching, but they pretended not to see them. Wei Hao didn't want to talk to them, but walked straight ahead.

"Shen Yong, this way!" Cheng Yaojin greeted Wei Hao immediately when he saw Wei Hao.

"Hey, Uncle Cheng!" Wei Hao walked over with a smile.

"What's the matter with you kid, can you still make such a mistake?" Cheng Yaojin patted Wei Hao's shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"What mistake? I didn't make a mistake!" Wei Hao looked at Cheng Yaojin pretending to be confused and said.

"Look, look, I said Brother Yao, look at your son-in-law, you don't even know if you make a mistake, it's a capital offense to withhold taxes from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you're so brave, I don't care Do what you dare to do!" Cheng Yaojin immediately looked at Li Jing and said, and patted Wei Hao on the shoulder after speaking.

"How does this kid understand this? Yaojin, you will be with me later, and beg Shen Yong in front of His Majesty!" Li Jing looked at Cheng Yaojin and said.

"Don't worry, I know!" Cheng Yaojin nodded.

"Don't do this next time, this is a big mistake, you!" Yuchi Jingde also said helplessly to Wei Hao.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, is it?" Wei Hao said still pretending to be confused.

"Not too old? Come on, kid!" Cheng Yaojin turned around while holding Wei Hao, facing the ministers behind, and said, "See, more than [-]% of the ministers behind have written impeachment memorials, impeach you boy , you still said it’s not too old?”

"What's the matter, the last time I fought, it was the same?" Wei Hao said indifferently, when Cheng Yaojin heard it, he was stunned, thinking about it.

"Okay, you can do it, boy, hey, better than the old man!" Cheng Yaojin was speechless to Wei Hao, thinking that this kid seemed to be impeached by a group of people at any time, and Wei Hao singled out those people if he had nothing to do .

"Okay, it's time to go to court. Regardless of those things, it's natural for His Majesty to judge." Li Jing said to Cheng Yaojin and the others,
Soon, Wang De came out and announced that he would go to court. Wei Hao and the others began to enter the main hall of Ganlu Palace. Wei Hao was still sitting in his old position. Just after sitting down, he leaned his head towards the vase, ready to sleep.

"Can you sleep, kid? You can't sleep today!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Wei Hao and reminded him in a low voice.

"Why?" Wei Hao looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked, and then found that many ministers were staring at him with unkind eyes.
