Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 461

Chapter 457

Wei Hao sat there eating the watermelon, feeling very good and sweet, and then he realized that these watermelons were delivered from the East Palace, Wei Hao was even more impolite,

I thought, if these melon seeds can be planted, then I can grow them myself. However, I don’t know whether these cold melons can bear fruit in Chang’an. I still need to try to grow them. After eating the watermelon, Wei Hao put away those watermelon seeds, and at the same time put away the watermelon seeds Gao Shilian and the others ate.

"I said what do you want to do? Do you still want to grow cold melons?" Gao Shilian asked in surprise as Wei Hao carefully put away those watermelon seeds.

"Well, let's see if it can be planted!" Wei Hao nodded and admitted.

"I said you are free, and this one can still be planted. This one is from Tubo, and the cold melons are all enshrined by Tubo!" Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Whatever, try it first. How will you know if you don't try it? I'll go out to dry it first. Remember to remind me that it's getting dark, so let me collect it!" Wei Hao said to them, and they also looked at Wei in a speechless manner. Hao, actually asked them to remind him of such a small matter.Wei Hao went outside the cell and found a place to dry it.

In the evening, after Wei Hao finished his meal, he was bored, he couldn't play mahjong, he didn't want to read books, he couldn't sleep, it was too early, so he could only drink tea in his cell.

"Shen Yong, the old man has never understood why you want to promote this matter, can you explain in detail?" Gao Shilian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Huh? Oh? I just hope that those officials can make a difference, and I also hope that those officials don't worry about money and worry about it. What they have to do is to manage the people well. According to the current salary, many county magistrates are over If the county magistrate is doing well, either his family has money, or he has moved money that should not belong to him!" Sitting there, Wei Hao replied.

"But don't you think five generations is too serious? Even three generations?" Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly and asked.

"Three generations? Huh, it's a good idea, and the salary is high. I just want them to think clearly. Is it worth it for them to stretch out their hands? Are they thinking about their offspring becoming the common people, or hoping to be able to stand out? Otherwise, who would be afraid?" Wei Hao I heard it, and said with a cold snort.The ministers heard it and fell silent.

"But it's hard to define! Especially dereliction of duty!" A servant of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Wei Hao and said.

"It's not easy to define? There are two ways, one is to stipulate what is dereliction of duty, and if the other is not done, it is not dereliction of duty, and it is not stipulated by the law.

The other is to stipulate what is not dereliction of duty, and other behaviors are dereliction of duty, so what is not stipulated by the law is dereliction of duty!Understand? "Wei Hao said, looking at the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

"This?" Those ministers heard it and looked at each other, then Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao and asked: "Then what do you mean?""

The first one, I don’t want the court’s laws to be too harsh. If it is found that many officials are doing this, but it’s wrong, then the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Overwatch Council can apply to His Majesty to add an article of dereliction of duty. crimes, so that no one will commit them in the future, what do you think? " Wei Hao looked at those officials and asked.

"Huh? I have to say, Shen Yong, you are indeed a great talent. There is looseness in strictness, and strictness in looseness. Good, good! It seems that we are really old, Shen Yong. In fact, the old man also agrees with these two things. Yes, but I am afraid that it will be too harsh, so that everyone will not dare to be an official or act. The old man is in charge of the official department, and he must consider the thoughts of those officials. Therefore, the old man can only object, but in my heart, I still admire you Boy, this is you!" Gao Shilian said and gave Wei Hao a thumbs up.

Wei Hao froze for a moment, then said with a smile: "Old uncle, don't laugh at me, what a great talent I am! I just want to take a vacation and not be an official! But my father won't let me! Anyway, I will be a Jingzhao for a year. After Fu Shaoyin, I will not be a man anymore, I will be at home every day, hugging my wife and child, hehe!"

"That's not going to happen, Shen Yong, we know your ability, you can't do it if you don't become an official!" Duan Lun heard this, became anxious, and said to Wei Hao, he had always hoped that Wei Hao could take over from him as a worker Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in his heart, no one is more qualified to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry than him.

"Don't talk, I can't do anything without me. In this world, the sun rises and sets without anyone. I'm not that important. I just want to play!" Wei Hao waved his hand, not believing Duan Lun's words at all.

Duan Lun also had nothing to do with Wei Hao, and the other ministers also sighed, and there was nothing to do with Wei Hao. Although they sometimes quarreled and fought with Wei Hao, they were convinced of Wei Hao's ability.

"Hey, if you don't come to drink tea, it's not good for you to sit there and chat. Come and boil water and make tea yourself!" Wei Hao invited them while sitting there.

"Okay!" Gao Shilian said happily.

"Go, open the cell!" Wei Hao said to a jailer outside, and the jailer smiled and opened it immediately.

"Hey, I'm the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. My words are not easy to use here, but your words are easy to use if you are Shenyong!" A minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said with a sigh.

"Don't blame them, hey, the Minister of Criminal Justice is nothing here, I am useful to speak here, that's because I am familiar with this place, who of you has more prison times than me? They also know that I can go out at any time , but you guys, hey, sometimes you come in, but you may not be able to go out!" Wei Hao said to the servant of the Ministry of Punishment with a smile.

"Don't be surprised, Minister, this is His Majesty's oral order. His Majesty said that in the cell, what he wants to do, whoever he wants to release, we also follow the imperial decree!" The jailer immediately clasped his hands and explained.

"I know!" The servant of the Ministry of punishment waved his hand. Did he not know that Li Shimin had issued an imperial edict?It is because he is afraid that Wei Hao will be wronged here, so in the entire cell, Wei Hao can do whatever he wants, as long as Wei Hao is willing, he can let Hou Junji go home for a few days!Your Majesty will not even ask!

"Soak it by yourself, I can't sit down!" Wei Hao said to them while lying there.

"You are also very courageous, you dare to resist the edict, if it were us, you would lose the official position!" Duan Lun looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Hey, I can't wait for my father to stop doing it! I actually wanted this result, but I didn't expect that my father would really hit me instead of taking away my official position!" Wei Hao looked up at him with a sigh said helplessly,
The other officials shook their heads helplessly. Who could compare with him? They wanted to be officials, so they were trembling, but Wei Hao didn't want to be an official.

"Come, come, sit down, I'll make you some tea!" Gao Shilian sat on it and said.

"That's it? Elder Gao, let's come!" Dai Zhou and the others immediately stood up and said.

"That's it, I haven't invited you to drink tea yet, today I borrow flowers to present Buddha!" ​​Gao Shilian waved his hand and said, he also sat on the main seat, began to clean the tea set, and then went to get tea leaves to look at.

"You're really good, you drink such good tea even in prison!" Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao and said.

"That's right, I can't wrong myself, it's not like I can't make money, right?" Wei Hao winked at Gao Shilian.

"By the way, Shenyong, Hou Junji is here too. Tell me, is it possible for him to be released?" At this time, Wei Zheng looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Huh? I don't know. It depends on what you want. If you want him to live, you should intercede. After all, he is not rebellious. If you save your life, you can stay. The key is to see what you and the generals on the border want, especially He is the general of the frontier, if they want Hou Junji to live, then he can live!" Wei Hao said with a smile at this moment, and those people fell silent when they heard it.

"What's the matter, do you want him to die or live?" Wei Hao asked when he saw them like this.

"It depends on your father-in-law's intentions. If your father-in-law doesn't let go, no one can do anything about it. If your father-in-law lets go, everyone will be a favor. Although Hou Junji is narrow-minded, he also established for the great Tang. He has made great contributions, he can be killed or not, but as a colleague, I still hope that he can survive!" Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao and said, and the others also nodded.

"My father-in-law definitely wants him to live. Although there are many conflicts, it is still a master-student relationship. Moreover, I heard that a few days ago, my father-in-law came over to treat Hou Junji to a drink, but did they I don't know anymore, and I didn't ask!" Wei Hao said with a smile while lying there.

"Oh?" When those people heard this, they looked at Wei Hao curiously.

"Really, you go ask my father-in-law!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively and said.

"Well, one day, find a chance. The old man will ask your pharmacist what you mean. If he agrees, then we will write a letter and ask for mercy. He can be spared the death penalty, but he can't escape the death penalty. It's fine to let him go into exile. It's better to work in the coal mines, at least it's better than death, if you meet His Majesty and amnesty the world, you still have a chance to survive!" Gao Shilian thought about it and said to Wei Hao.

"Well, that's the reason. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. If it is treason, we will definitely not intercede. However, this matter actually has a great impact, and it may pose a threat to our Tang border! "Wei Zheng also stroked his beard, nodded and said.

"That depends on how you look at this matter. Although pig iron was smuggled to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Turkic army, but in turn, it also weakened their strength. If our army can drag on for a few years, they will lose. It’s going to be delayed now, you don’t know, the Turks and Tubo are getting poorer and poorer now! I guess they can’t stand it, and by then, we don’t need to beat them, and there may be chaos inside them!” Wei Hao laughed Said for a while.

"Oh, can you still look at things like this?" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Hao in surprise,

"Of course!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Shen Yong, why don't you go to the memorial?" Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"No, I don't. In fact, to be honest, I don't like him. Although he may have two skills in war, I still don't like him as a man!" Wei Hao shook his head and said. I told them how to do it, and if they ask for mercy, go by themselves,
Besides, they are civil servants, and I don’t know whether those generals agree or not. It also depends on the influence of my father-in-law in the army. Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Zhang Jian, Tang Jian and those military veterans Well, I definitely don't want to let Hou Junji go, but if Li Jing goes to talk to them, they might sell Li Jing a face. I don't want to take care of this matter!

Moreover, in the court, some people wished him to die, such as Changsun Wuji, such as Fang Xuanling, they all wished him to die. It is impossible for Xuanling not to know, in order to eliminate future troubles forever, Fang Xuanling dare not keep Hou Junji,
It was even said that Fang Xuanling wanted to bring down Changsun Wuji. After all, this matter also involved Changsun Wuji. Who knew if Changsun Wuji would hold grudges?Then the group of people were drinking tea, and Wei Hao was talking from time to time. Wei Hao's teacup was out of tea, so they refilled the tea. After drinking it very late, they returned to their cell.
The next day, Li Ke arrived at Jingzhao Mansion. There was nothing he could do. Now that Wei Hao was away, it was impossible for the crown prince to deal with daily affairs here, so Li Ke could only come. Those officials also asked Li Ke if they had anything to do, but Li Ke didn't know. How to deal with it, something he has never handled before,
If the officials below have suggestions, he will take a look and ask those officials, so that he can barely deal with it, but many officials come to ask, but they don't have any suggestions. If Li Ke is asked to give advice, how does Li Ke know what to do? Do?There is no way, these things can only be shelved for now, and when Wei Hao comes back,

But there are some things that cannot be put on hold and need to be resolved on the same day. Li Ke can only ask those officials to go to the cell to find Wei Hao for a solution.
And Wei Hao was in the cell, feeling much better today than yesterday, he could barely sit down, but Wei Hao still didn’t sit, just stood, when an official came to ask Wei Hao’s idea, Wei Hao would deal with it in time, if nothing happened, Just wandering around outside the cell. Anyway, there are many big trees outside the cell. You can hide under the big trees to enjoy the shade, but those ministers can’t do it. They still can’t leave the cell. It will be like this for the next few days.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Li Shimin sent someone to announce the imperial decree, telling those ministers to go back, including Shen Yong.

"I just went out, is there any mistake?" Wei Hao is playing mahjong at the moment, he just started playing mahjong yesterday, and let him go back today, what does this mean?
"Shen Yong, although it is very comfortable to be in prison, and the old man feels much cleaner here, but, as an official of the court, Jingzhao Mansion also has a lot of things for you to deal with. These days, they have come here a lot, and it's almost enough Already!" Gao Shilian said to Wei Hao.

"Whatever? I stood for three days, and finally I was able to sit down and play mahjong. My father let me go out. That's not going to work. Well, you go to my father and say that I won't go out first. It will take half a month!" Wei Hao said, looking at the official of the Ministry of Rites.

"Here, Xia Guogong, this is His Majesty's imperial decree, are you still resisting the decree?" The official of the Ministry of Rites looked at Wei Hao and asked in surprise.

"Why did you issue an imperial decree when you let someone go? What does my father mean? Before you released someone, you didn't issue an imperial edict?" Wei Hao asked, staring at the official of the Ministry of Rites.

"Well, His Majesty is afraid that you won't go out. His Majesty specifically confessed that if you don't go out, I will tell you that this is an imperial decree!" the official from the Ministry of Rites emphasized to Wei Hao, and the other officials heard it coldly. I couldn't help laughing.

"Is this too stupid?" Wei Hao looked at the official very unhappy and asked.

"I can't help it, Your Majesty means it!" The official looked at Wei Hao helplessly and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out, go home and rest, I won't be on duty, I can rest for ten days or eight days!" Wei Hao was very depressed, and was tricked by Li Shimin again, quite upset,
Soon, Wei Hao got out of the cell and went straight to his mansion. When he arrived at the mansion, Wei Hao told the porter that he would not see anyone who asked to see him. Then he returned to his main courtyard, took a shower, and went upstairs to sleep up.

After the official of the Ministry of Rites returned, he gave Li Shimin a reply.

"Has Shen Yong gone out?" Li Shimin looked at the official and asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, let's go!" the official replied immediately, clasping his hands.

"Oh, it's good to go out, it's good to go out, I'm still worried that this kid will dare to resist the order!" Li Shimin said very happily when he heard this, this kid finally knows how to be afraid.

"But, but he said he won't be on duty anymore, he has to go back and rest for ten or eight days!" The official said in a low voice while looking at Li Shimin with his hands folded, while Li Shimin was stroking his beard and staring at the official in a daze, after a while Only then did he come to his senses, looked at the official and asked, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes, that's what he said!" said the official, nodding his head.

"Come on, go, go and inquire, and find out where Shen Yong has gone now, has he returned home, or has he gone to Jingzhao Mansion!" Li Shimin shouted, and someone immediately went to do it.

Then Li Shimin felt that things were not good, the kid got angry, quit, and wanted to take a vacation.But in the past two days, Li Ke also came to report that there were too many things in Jingzhao Mansion, and he couldn't handle them all by himself. He didn't know how to deal with many things. He really didn't know, mainly engineering matters , how does he understand?

Soon, someone came to report that Wei Hao went back directly to the mansion and did not go to Jingzhao Mansion. After Li Shimin found out, he felt a little troublesome. If Wei Hao really quit, it would not be so easy to let this kid out up,

But now I don't know whether Wei Hao's words are true or not. After all, he just came out of the cell, and it is understandable to go back. Li Shimin feels a little headache. I hope this kid didn't go back to rest for a few days.
