Chapter 399
Chapter 395

Wei Hao originally wanted to go to sleep, but seeing so many ministers staring at him, he felt happy. Those ministers thought they could bring him down this time, so now they are all fighting against each other. They want to go all out and take him down. So simple?The mistake I made can only be called a mistake, and it is not illegal at all.

Soon, Li Shimin went to sit on the dragon chair, and then asked the ministers to start to talk about things. The ministers of the six departments also made a report to Li Shimin on the matters that their departments needed to solve. Li Shimin also dispatched the matter in the middle. solve!

"Your Majesty, the selection of 200 candidates and 500 scholars has been completed. Your Majesty, please decide when to announce the announcement. In addition, whether a palace examination is required or not. According to the new method of conducting imperial examinations, a palace examination is required! But because it is the first In this year, if you need a palace test, you still need to pick the time!" At this time, Li Xiaogong stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, 200 applicants need a palace examination. The palace examination period should be set on the eighth day of April. There are still ten days for them to prepare. According to Shen Yong's memorial, this time they need to get Jinshi and No. 50 Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua. People are awarded the official positions of the seventh rank, among which the number one scholar is awarded the upper rank of the sixth rank, the second place and Tanhua are awarded the official positions of the lower rank of the sixth rank, and the juren side is awarded the official position of the seventh rank. It is conferred by the Ministry of officials!" Li Shimin nodded, facing Li Xiaogong said.

"Yes!" Li Xiaogong said respectfully.

"After the imperial court, when the list of candidates and the list of scholars are announced, those candidates need to be notified clearly! Everyone needs to be notified!" Li Shimin continued to exhort Li Xiaogong.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Li Xiaogong stood there and continued.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Li Shimin sat on it and asked.

"Your Majesty Qi Zou, I have something to do!" A minister stood up and said to Li Shimin. Li Shimin saw that it was Yang Zheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Well, say it!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Your Majesty wants to impeach Xia Guogong, Captain Zuojinwuwei, and Wei Hao, magistrate of Wannian County, for withholding the court tax without permission. This is a capital crime. Please investigate strictly!" Yang Zheng stood up and immediately cupped his hands at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Wei Hao, the Duke of Xia, and withhold more than [-] yuan from the court tax, and beheaded according to the law!"

"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Wei Hao.".
Then, a large number of civil servants stood up, all impeaching Wei Hao.

"Where's Shen Yong?" Li Shimin saw the situation below and knew that today's matter needed to be dealt with. If he didn't deal with it, he would have no way to deal with the ministers below.

"Shen Yong, Shen Yong, are you really asleep?" Cheng Yaojin turned his head when he heard Li Shimin calling Wei Hao, and found that Wei Hao had really fallen asleep leaning there, so he pushed Wei Hao.

"Huh, huh?" Wei Hao raised his head immediately after being pushed by Cheng Yaojin, looked around in confusion, and then asked, "Uncle Cheng, are you down?"

"Your Majesty is calling you, hurry up!" Cheng Yaojin also said to Wei Hao anxiously.

"Ah, father, my son is here!" Wei Hao poked his head out immediately, while Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Duke Xia for despising His Majesty and blatantly sleeping in the court meeting. Your Majesty will not be taken seriously by this move!" Wei Zheng stood up, glared at Wei Hao, then cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin.

"Old Wei, what's wrong with you?" Wei Hao immediately called Wei Zheng, he was full, and it wasn't the first day he slept, and it wasn't the first time they impeached him, and now they came to impeach him.

"Wei Shenyong, don't you think sleeping is the right thing to do?" Wei Zheng immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Don't talk nonsense with you, my father has something to do with me!" Wei Hao waved his hands, then stood there, cupped his hands at Li Shimin and said, "Father, what's the matter, please tell me!"

"Didn't you hear those ministers impeach you just now?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked, Wei Hao turned his head to look at the ministers behind him, and then said to Li Shimin, "Wei Zheng impeached me, but no one impeached me? "

"You son of a bitch, what else can you do besides sleeping?" Li Shimin heard it and shouted at Wei Hao, furious.

"What else can I do?" Wei Hao was also confused, rubbed his head, and looked at Li Shimin in a daze.

"Cheng Chengcheng, Wang De, read these two memorials, Shen Yong, listen to yourself!" Li Shimin said and gave the memorial to Wang De, and asked Wang De to read it.
Wang De took it, and began to read it. Wei Hao could roughly understand it, but he didn't fully understand it.
When Wang De finished reading, Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" "Ah, oh, father, just say it directly. I don't understand it very well. It's too complicated!"

Wei Hao touched his head, still looked at Li Shimin innocently, Li Shimin almost didn't vomit blood, but he actually said he didn't understand.

"You, you, you, the books that I let you read, you have seen them in the dog's stomach, huh? Have you read those books?" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and cursed.

"Look!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively.

"What about the book?" Li Shimin continued to ask, and he didn't see him return a copy of the book he gave to Wei Hao, and there was no news about it.

"I don't know, how would I know, I just throw it on the desk after reading it, um, it's probably still in my study!" Wei Hao shook his head, then looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I tell you, if you don't return the books to me within one month, each book costs [-] yuan, and I have given you nine books in total. Try to lose one!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and warned. .

"It's so expensive, what kind of book, father, you are a fraud!" Wei Hao stood there, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Shimin and shouted.

"You, you, okay, I'll blackmail you, how about it?" Li Shimin didn't know how to quarrel with Wei Hao, this kid dared to say anything.

"Father, you are short of money, my son will give you some money? It's okay, my son has money!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin very grandly, Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao, not knowing what to say.

"Xuanling, tell him, explain clearly why he was impeached!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling, he really didn't want to talk to Wei Hao, and he would be pissed off, so he just let Fang Xuanling talk about it All right.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling immediately stood up, then started talking to Wei Hao, and looked at Wei Hao after speaking.

"Understand?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked, Wei Hao nodded to show that he understood.

"Now that you understand, tell me yourself, how should you be punished?" Li Shimin sat there, looking at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, is there something wrong with them? Why did I withhold the tax, this must be explained clearly! Do you know what a tax is?" Wei Hao heard, turned and looked at the ministers and asked.

"Wei Shenyong, do you still want to make excuses?" Ding Zhilian, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately stared at Wei Hao and scolded.

"What am I arguing about? I took the money, but it's not tax. You said in the impeachment that you want to cut me off. What's wrong with you? I withheld the tax. Dai Shangshu, I withheld it, but Your dividends in the workshop, right? It’s not about the taxes you collect from our county, besides, I can’t even see the money you collect, so how can I keep it?” Wei Hao stood there, looking at Dai Zhou said.

"This is indeed dividend money!" Dai Zhou was taken aback when he heard what Wei Hao said, but he still nodded, agreeing with what Wei Hao said.

And Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji were also stunned, dividends?Not taxes?This is a big difference, and there is no provision in the law that dividends cannot be withheld?

"Pretty words, this is a dividend, but this is the money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and no one can touch the money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, whether it is dividends or taxes!" Hou Junji stood up at this moment, facing Wei Hao shouted.

"Bullshit, why can't I move anymore? The Ministry of Civil Affairs can get those dividends, and I gave it to me, so why can't I move? Now Wannian County should do things, do things need money, Dai Shangshu, you say it yourself , you didn't give me the tax return money from last quarter,
Originally, the workshops in our county were all opened last quarter. After paying so much tax, there must be a lot of courts. Why don’t they return it to me? Why can’t I deduct it? The court has increased taxes, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has to reward our county talents. Not only do you not reward, but you also deduct money from me.
Also, this time it is dividends. Our county will use the dividends first, and then deduct them from the tax rebate. Why not? "Wei Hao stood there and shouted at the ministers. The ministers were stunned when they heard it. They all knew that, strictly speaking, Wei Hao did not withhold taxes, but withholding dividends. , There is indeed no regulation in this law.

"But this is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Hou Junji stood there, staring at Wei Hao and said.

"What happened to the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Is the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs taken from the people and used by the people? Did I, Wei Hao, spend the money on my own or did I take it home? This money is what I need to give to those who have no houses. Is the money for building roads and clearing channels for the whole county going to the common people? I, Wei Hao, don’t use the common people’s money. I don’t lack this point!” Wei Hao immediately retorted Said Hou Junji.

"If everyone is like you, then the Ministry of Civil Affairs won't have any money back!" Changsun Wuji said leisurely.

"Uncle, I don't like to hear these words. If everyone is like me, the court will not be short of money. It stands to reason that the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to subsidize Wannian County with 1 yuan every year, right?

How much can you do with [-] yuan? What has Wannian County done so far?The roads haven’t been repaired, ordinary people’s homes don’t even have houses, they haven’t been resettled, and the channels haven’t been repaired. I don’t know what the money was used for. I said it was used for disaster relief.
However, if the house is repaired, the channels are repaired, and the water conservancy is repaired, there will be no disasters to save except the plague. You spend all your money on disaster relief and never on prevention. All the houses that may collapse at any time are rebuilt. In addition, in each village, some public houses are built, that is, in case of a snowstorm, those people can hide in those public houses! " Wei Hao stood there and said to Changsun Wuji.

"But it's true that you withheld money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Changsun Wuji continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Yes, I withheld it, and I also issued an IOU. This money will be deducted from our tax return. Duke Qi, let me ask you a question. I need money to govern Wannian County. Will the court support it?" Wei Hao nodded, stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.

"Of course I support it, but it's wrong for you to withhold money!" Changsun Wuji said gloomyly.

"Yes, it's wrong for you to deduct money!" Many ministers echoed loudly.

"As for the support money, since I took office in Wannian County, until now, the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not seem to support me. On the contrary, it has withheld the money that belongs to our Wannian County. How can this be explained!" Wei Hao also looked at his eldest grandson. Wuji asked back,
"No matter what the reason, you can't deduct money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Changsun Wuji said to Wei Hao with a sneer.

"Then what do you mean, Wannian County doesn't need to be governed? I don't need to take care of it? When the drought or snow disaster occurs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will continue to use money for disaster relief. You would rather use money for disaster relief than prevent it?" Wei Hao stared Changsun Wuji asked.

"This is a matter for the future, let's talk about you withholding money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs now!" Changsun Wuji still stared at Wei Hao and said,

This time, he wanted to confirm Wei Hao's crime, but Wei Hao didn't care. He did it on purpose this time, and he needed to make a mistake to give Li Shimin a handle.

However, Li Shimin sitting on it was very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji, very dissatisfied. He knew that Wei Hao had many plans in Wannian County, and they were starting to implement them now. It needs support, but now not only does it not support, but also deducts Wei Hao's money. Wei Hao's withholding of dividend money can only be said to be a mistake, not a crime.

"Shen Yong, if you are wrong, you are wrong, admit your mistake!" Sitting on it, Li Shimin said,
But Fang Xuanling and Li Jing below immediately understood Li Shimin's meaning, and Wei Hao only admitted his mistake and not guilty.

"Your Majesty, this is not a mistake, it's a crime!" Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin immediately after hearing what Li Shimin said.

"I committed a crime? What crime did I commit? Well, Qi Guogong? I advocated giving the red money from the civil department. I should have some credit for this money, right? I can use some, can't I?" Wei Hao stared at Zhangsun Wuji asked.

"No, merit is merit, and fault is fault!" Changsun Wuji said immediately.

"Okay! Okay, I didn't expect that I gave money to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and also gave questions..."

"Shen Yong, don't talk about it!" Wei Hao was actually very angry. The main reason is that he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to stare at this matter. Just when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Li Shimin, and Wei Hao turned around to look at it. With Li Shimin.

"Well, Shen Yong was wrong, tell me, how should he be punished?" Li Shimin asked those ministers.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Xia Guogong was indeed wrong this time, but the circumstances are justifiable. Wei Hao did give the Ministry of Ministries the money for dividends, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not give the money for tax rebates. What I mean is, Just fine Wei Hao with a fine of 1 guan!" At this time, Wei Zheng stood up and said to Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji and the others looked at Wei Zheng in surprise when they heard what Wei Zheng said. They originally thought that Wei Zheng was allied with people like themselves. The fine is still a fine of 1 guan, 1 guan, which is a huge sum of money for most officials here, but for Wei Hao, it is a small amount of money.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree. Wei Hao committed a crime this time and should be beheaded according to the law. However, Wei Hao has made a lot of contributions, so he can cut off the title, even the Duke of a country!" Hou Junji immediately stood up and said with cupped hands. "

Qi Zou Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a fine is enough! "Fang Xuanling also stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Your Majesty, I also think fines are enough. Shen Yong has done a lot for Wannian County. This time, it can't be all Shen Yong's fault!" Cheng Yaojin also stood up and said to Li Shimin .

"Your Majesty, if Wei Hao is not given a severe punishment this time, I believe all the officials in the world will not be convinced. We can't think that Wei Hao is His Majesty's future son-in-law and pamper him like this!" Changsun Wuji turned to Li Shimin again Said, Li Shimin heard it, just looked down,

Then he looked at Wei Hao, who stood there indifferently.

"King Jiang Xia, tell me, is the money withheld for dividends the same as the money withheld for taxes?" Li Shimin turned to look at Li Daozong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, of course it's different. I don't know how the dividends are distributed. Taxes can't be moved, but the dividends, um, how should I put it, Shenyong, there is one thing I don't understand, that is , once the workshop decides to pay dividends, is there a possibility that there will not be so much cash?" Li Daozong stood up, and after speaking to Li Shimin, he immediately asked Wei Hao.

"It is very possible that if the amount of dividends is large and the workshop has been operating, then a lot of the dividends will be in the raw materials. It will take a while, maybe a month or so." Wei Hao immediately Said to Li Daozong.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is okay for Wei Hao to withhold the dividend money. In the future, the workshop will distribute dividends. It cannot be said that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will take the money away just after the dividend is distributed. In this way, it is also the same for the workshops below. Unfavorable!" Li Daozong stood there and said to Li Shimin.

When Changsun Wuji heard what Li Daozong said, he kept staring at Li Daozong, knowing that those people wanted to excuse Wei Hao, and Li Shimin did the same, so he was very unhappy.

"Father, my son also begs for Shen Yong. This time, Shen Yong is wrong and not guilty!" At this time, Li Chengqian also stood up and said to Li Shimin. It's all blue.
