Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 431 Old Fox

Chapter 427

Empress Changsun was very annoyed. He didn't understand Changsun Wuji's behavior. He didn't know why Changsun Wuji became such a person. Changsun Wuji was a very tolerant person and a talented person. It's just that he is not so broad-minded, but I talked to him last time, and he also said that he would not target Wei Hao. This time, he actually framed Wei Hao's father for smuggling pig iron. Smuggling pig iron is a capital crime!

"Mother, my nephew doesn't know the specifics, but today my father saw that the mansion was bombed, and he was very angry. He fainted when he didn't come up!" Chang Sun Chong said, but he didn't know what to say. What, the son does not speak of his father's faults, he is not qualified to comment on his father's right or wrong.

"Tell your father, it's a trivial matter to blow up the mansion of the Duke of Qi. If you don't live in the mansion of the Duke of Qi, it will be troublesome. It is impossible for His Majesty to be deceived. This matter will definitely be investigated again, and the result will be the same." Once the results come out, how will your father explain to His Majesty?" Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Chong and said. "This, yes!" Chang Sun Chong nodded and said.

"Your father is confused, confused!" Empress Zhangsun was still very angry, but she didn't want anything to happen to Changsun Wuji. After all, this is her own brother and a capable person. He can completely ignore him, but he can't ignore Changsun Wuji.

"Chong'er, you are sensible. My aunt has always had high expectations for you. Don't worry about the conflict between your father and Wei Hao. Should you be friends with Wei Hao?

In the past two days, you go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see Wei Hao, and apologize to Wei Hao for your father, let him look at your face, don't care about your father, if it blows up, it will blow up, you Don't even think about pursuing it, revenge, that's not okay, the reason why Shen Yong is angry this time is because your father framed his father, and by the way, you want to step Shen Yong into the dirt!Can Shen Yong do it?Several times before, when your father criticized Shen Yong, Shen Yong endured it all because of me, but this time, he couldn't bear it anymore, if he continued to endure it, he would be in vain! "Empress Changsun continued to look at Changsun Chong and said.

"Yes!" Changsun Chong felt very bitter. Wei Hao was a son of man in vain. As for himself, he was also Changsun Wuji's son. However, thinking that Changsun Wuji was wrong this time, he felt helpless and wanted Said to rush up and beat Wei Hao. After all, Wei Hao bullied his father, but it was his father's fault. You dare not hit your clenched fist.If you smash it down, you will be the one who is ignorant. At that time, it will be spread outside, the old ones are ignorant, and the young ones are also ignorant!

"Son, aunt knows that you are difficult. You are much better than your father in terms of human behavior. Aunt is also very optimistic about you. In the future, I still need your help and wisdom. Don't get involved in your father's affairs. In the future, For your job arrangement, don't look for your father, look for aunt, do you hear me, where you want to go, what job you want, aunt will arrange for you!" Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Chong and said.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Chang Sun Chong said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Your father is unreliable. At that time, you may cause some troubles for aunt. Auntie can only rely on you. Auntie doesn't want the eldest grandson's family to be gone when aunt's coffin wakes up in a hundred years later!" Empress Changsun said again,
When Changsun Chong heard this, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed to Empress Changsun, and said anxiously: "Auntie, what you said is serious, we are unworthy and let Auntie worry about it!"

"Hey, when I heard about your father this morning, my aunt is sitting here in a daze, not knowing what to do, and how His Majesty will punish your father. Your father supports you, your father has made such a thing now, what will you do in the future?
Now that many princes have come of age one after another, they will threaten Gao Ming's position. Why can't they bear it? Shen Yong, a man with a hot personality, has put up with your father several times, but your father just can't bear it. In other matters, your father It's very bearable, why can't it work here? "Empress Changsun sat there sighing and said, Changsun Chong knelt there and did not dare to speak.

"Get up, Chonger, Auntie is pinning her hopes on you now, don't go to Tiefang, you go to Chang'an County below Jingzhao Mansion as the county magistrate, as Shen Yong's subordinate, learn how Shen Yong governs the place The county magistrate of Wannian County probably has to wait for Shen Yong to make arrangements. After all, only the people arranged by Shen Yong can fully implement the government orders of Shen Yong, and the good situation of Wannian County cannot be ruined by people who are not familiar with it. It is!" Empress Changsun sat there and said to Changsun Chong.

"Ah, yes, thank you, ma'am. It's just that my nephew has never ruled a county. I've been the county magistrate of Chang'an County since then. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court!" After Changsun Chong stood up, he heard Empress Changsun Having said that, he immediately asked in surprise.

"No one will be dissatisfied, but you also need to make achievements yourself. If you don't have achievements, others will be dissatisfied. Wei Yu, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, did a good job. He also listened to Shen Yong's advice before becoming a Well, the county magistrate, this time, is estimated to be going to a Zhongzhou to serve as a Biejia, and the next step is to return to the sixth department of the court.

You need to stay in Chang'an County for a few more years and learn more. There are many court officials here. How to deal with problems will make those officials dissatisfied. When did you learn it? When did you really experience it? Order is the most difficult thing, it requires you to deal with the people directly, not only to do the job done by the superior, but also to make the people love you, which is difficult,

But Shen Yong did a very good job. In Wannian County, the people love Wei Hao very much. Those people, also because of Wei Hao, can make a lot of money this year and in the future. As for the superiors, Shen Yong Who would be dissatisfied with the establishment of such a workshop in Wannian County, which directly raised the court's tax revenue? The dissatisfaction is also due to private matters, not official business, so you have to learn from Shen Yong, and don't listen to your father. Your father was blinded by that bit of hatred, confused! "Empress Changsun sat there, reminding Changsun Chong.

"Yes, thank you, aunt!" Zhang Sun Chong said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Okay, go back and tell your father, let him recuperate well, and don't take revenge on Shen Yong. If he continues to target Shen Yong, aunt will have no way to keep your father!" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong nodded.

"Come here!" Empress Changsun said.

"Your Majesty!" A eunuch came running from a distance.

"Go to the internal treasury to pick some high-quality ginseng, and send it to Duke Qi's mansion! Tell Duke Qi to take good care of his illness!" Empress Changsun said, looking at the eunuch.

"Yes, empress!" The eunuch said immediately, clasping his hands together, and then backed out.

"You go back too!" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Chong,
Changsun Chong nodded, bowed his hands to Empress Changsun, and then withdrew.
Not long after she left, Li Lizhi rushed straight to where Empress Changsun was from outside.

"Mother, mother!" Li Lizhi shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Empress Changsun turned to look at Li Lizhi and said.

"Mother, Shen Yong had a conflict with his uncle in the morning, and Shen Yong was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" Li Lizhi stood there, looking at Empress Changsun and said.

"I know!" Empress Changsun nodded slightly.

"What's the matter with uncle, how can you frame someone, Uncle Webb won't do such a thing!" Li Lizhi sat down angrily, looked at the eldest grandson queen and said.

"Hey, let's wait for your father to deal with it. Your uncle is also confused now, and the queen mother doesn't know what he thinks!" The eldest grandson queen said with a sigh.

"Hmph, uncle is narrow-minded. He took revenge on Shen Yong just because of my affairs, as if I didn't know. He doesn't know how many times he has attacked Shen Yong!" Li Lizhi sat there and said angrily. Helplessly looking at Li Lizhi, she knew that she, a girl, didn't like this uncle, but she had no way to persuade her.

On the side of Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin sat there, with the six ministers and the left and right servants sitting below him. Of course, Hou Junji didn't come, Li Shimin originally wanted to call him, no matter what, there is no obvious evidence now. The one pointing to Hou Junji, in order not to startle the snake, he must be called, but he is not there.

"Tell me about today's matter, how should you deal with it?" Li Shimin sat there and asked.

"Your Majesty, Duke Qi definitely made a mistake in his investigation of this matter. Wei Furong would never make such a mistake, absolutely not!" Dai Zhou immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said.

"Huh?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, why did Dai Zhou help Wei Hao speak.

"Your Majesty, I have received some news about the smuggling of pig iron. Some people took advantage of the opportunity of pig iron being sent to various state capitals to buy it all directly. Here, some state capitals and governors are involved. A Wei Furong But not so big can come,
In addition, the routes leading to foreign countries are not under the control of Wei Furong. Not to mention other things, just those checkpoints entering the city, and those checkpoints exiting the customs. A Wei Furong, even if he takes Wei Hao, is absolutely If such a thing cannot be done, this matter must be attended by important officials in the court, even senior generals in the army! "Dai Zhou stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh?" When Li Shimin heard this, he found that the officials below had already discovered the clue.

"Your Majesty, I also recently learned of this news. I wanted to investigate, but the iron workshop belongs to the Ministry of Industry, so I have no right to investigate. I wanted to find an opportunity to remind Duan Shangshu!" Dai Zhou continued.

"I have arranged for people to investigate this matter, but there is no news yet. Because of the news brought by our Ministry of Industry officials from various places, the old man discovered that something is wrong. A low-level government uses more than 5 catties of iron a month. , is completely abnormal, the point is that the common people still can’t buy pig iron! Therefore, the old man thinks that someone is buying those pig iron, and has been sending people to track it down, but no news has come yet!” Duan Lun also stood up immediately, saying yes Li Shimin said.

"Well, Xiaogong!" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaogong as he spoke.

"The minister is here!" Li Xiaogong immediately stood up.

"You, send someone to find out what the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs know. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, no matter who is involved, it must be investigated to the end!" Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is already sending people to investigate!" Li Xiaogong said, cupping his hands.

"Okay, as for Wei Hao's matter and Wei Furong's matter, let everyone argue. If there is evidence, I will also arrest people!" Li Shimin continued to look at them and said.

"Your Majesty believes that Duke Qi has a problem. With the results of the investigation, I believe that the investigation should not be done in the wrong direction, but that Duke Qi deliberately went in this direction. Your Majesty, please look into it!" Li Jing stood up at this moment, cupped his hands and said, Li Shimin Hearing that, he looked at Li Jing.

"I also mean the same thing, definitely not in the wrong direction, but on purpose!" Fang Xuanling also stood up and said, Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "You go to Qi Guogong's mansion and ask Qi Guogong , ask him, is it true that Wei Furong participated in this matter, and can he stand the test?"

"Yes!" Li Xiaogong immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's all go down. The results of the investigation will be sent to the Ganlu Hall at any time, and I will personally review it!" Li Shimin waved at them and said, those ministers also stood up, bowed their hands to Li Shimin, and exited the Ganlu Hall.
After they left, Li Shimin leaned on the dragon chair and rubbed his temples. Of course he knew that Changsun Wuji did it on purpose, and also knew that Changsun Wuji had colluded with Hou Junji, but he didn't know how to deal with the two of them. One, especially Changsun Wuji, he really didn't know how to deal with it, but Hou Junji was also easy to handle.

But if the eldest grandson Wuji is dealt with, then he must be concerned about the Queen's reaction, and even the prince. After all, the eldest grandson Wuji has been working in the East Palace and has been teaching the prince. If he is dealt with Be ruthless, and it will definitely send a bad news to the outside world, that is, the position of the crown prince is not stable. Now that many princes are almost adults, they will give extravagant expectations to those princes, and things will happen instead!
Li Shimin needs balance, let the court balance!Let the parties balance the forces.

And in Changsun Wuji's mansion, Changsun Chong also told Changsun Wuji what the empress meant, and Changsun Wuji was so angry that Changsun Huan was also standing there very angry, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Go out, everyone go out, Chong'er stays, and everyone else goes out!" Changsun Wuji said suddenly, all the sons and servants in the room went out, leaving Changsun Chong alone.

"You listen to the queen, go to Wannian County to be the county magistrate, that's the best way, and you won't be affected by me!" Changsun Wuji leaned there and said to Changsun Chong.

"Yes, it's just, Dad, I really don't understand why you did this to Wei Hao?" Chang Sun Chong still looked at Chang Sun Wuji in puzzlement,

Changsun Wuji did not answer Changsun Chong's question, but asked Changsun Chong: "You said, this time the old man made a false accusation, how will His Majesty punish the old man?"

"Ah? Dad, you, are you real?" Chang Sun Chong looked at Chang Sun Wuji in surprise.

"Don't care if it's true or not, I'll just ask you, how will His Majesty punish you?" Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and asked.

"I don't know!" Chang Sun Chong shook his head and said.

"The old man just made a mistake in the investigation and framed Wei Hao. However, the smuggling of pig iron has nothing to do with the old man. The old man didn't get a penny. Your Majesty will fine the old man's salary at most. At the same time, cut off some of the old man's duties. But the title, there is absolutely no problem, you don't have to worry!" Changsun Wuji leaned there and said confidently.

"Father, why are you doing this?" Chang Sun Chong looked at Chang Sun Wuji and asked.

"Chong'er, your father has been cautious all his life, why is he so confused on Wei Hao's side? What is he trying to do? He wants to be safe!" Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong, then smiled and said,
Changsun Chong was dumbfounded, and Changsun Wuji said this, and he was even more confused.

"When you are an official, you have to think twice, think about danger, think about retreat, think about change. Now, His Majesty brought Li Ke up, just to cut off part of the crown prince's power, and then hand it over to Li Ke. Your father is someone close to the prince. As long as the old man By the prince's side, tell me, no matter how much your majesty cuts, Li Ke will not be able to form a balance with the prince!" Changsun Wuji leaned there and said.

"Ah?" Chang Sun Chong then looked at Chang Sun Chong puzzled.

"Your Majesty is still young, and the crown prince is old. Your Majesty wants to make the crown prince troublesome, but I don't want to. This is called being prepared for danger!

Besides, the prince doesn't want to see me now, there are many people around him, I have to say, those people around the prince, many of them are talented people, since the left and right are not flattering, the old man simply retreated, this is called retiring!After stepping back, the old man watched slowly, looking at the layout of the court, anyway, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with the old man! "Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Wuji with complacency in his eyes.

"Then, father, if, I said, if the crown prince loses power and falls into a crisis, what should we do?" Changsun Chong thought about it, and looked at Changsun Wuji worriedly.

"Haha, this is Sichang, don't forget, your aunt has three sons, the prince is not good, there is Qingque, Qingque is not good, and the slave, no matter who among them goes up, I will be them uncle,
When His Majesty reaches his old age, as long as the old man is in better health than him, then His Majesty will have to rely on the old man to support one of them. Now, if the old man doesn't want to go through this muddy water, it is better to take this opportunity and come down first. , Come down and see the situation clearly! "Changsun Wuji leaned there and said confidently.

"But, Dad, you didn't think about Li Ke, King of Shu. He also has a chance, and His Majesty admires him the most!" Chang Sun Chong looked at Chang Sun Wuji worriedly and asked.

"This is also a problem that the old man is worried about. Although many nobles don't want him to go, as long as he can persuade them, these are not problems. The problem is that if he fights with the prince, someone will definitely be unlucky at that time, old man I don’t want to be this unlucky person, let Wei Hao bear it first, the old man is watching, at the critical moment, the old man will make a move!” Changsun Wuji sighed as he spoke, this is a variable, a variable that he can’t control well .
