Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 462
Chapter 458

Wei Hao went back, which made Li Shimin a little depressed. This kid wanted to quit the job. He didn't want to quit for a day. This time, I didn't seem to give him a few more days off. He has no choice. If you follow an official who doesn't want to be an official, he will quit at any time!

When the next day was approaching noon, Li Shimin immediately sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire again. The result of the inquiry was that Wei Hao was not in Jingzhao Mansion, nor had he been there, and was still at the mansion.

"What does this bastard mean? Ah, quit?" After Li Shimin heard the news, he asked Gao Shilian, Li Jing, and Li Chengqian who were sitting here.

"Father, no, it's probably something. You don't know what Shen Yong is doing. Since he has agreed to be the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion, I believe he will definitely go. He just sat down to rest!" After Li Chengqian heard it, he immediately persuaded Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yong also said this matter yesterday, he must go home and rest for a few days, hey, this kid is good at everything, but lazy, but these days in the cell, we communicate with him, we still admire him his,
It seems difficult to us, but when we get to him, he will solve it for you very quickly, and the solution is very good and very novel, so in the past few days, the ministers of our four departments, and the servants of the other two departments, If there is anything that can't be solved under pressure, just ask Shen Yong, I really didn't say anything, it's all solved! " Gao Shilian was sitting there at the moment, and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Shimin became interested when he heard it, and immediately sat down and stared at Gao Shilian. Gao Shilian also told Li Shimin in detail about the communication with Wei Hao in the cell.

"Well, not bad, not bad, I just said, this kid is capable, but you didn't realize that this time the matter of high salary to support honesty,

When I saw it, I fell in love with it. One is to kill less and carefully, but for those officials who commit crimes, they still need to have enough deterrent power, so I try my best to promote this matter, but what is Shen Yong? You also know that such a person has an impulsive personality, but his heart has never been broken! " Li Shimin looked at Gao Shilian and said.

"Yes, we all know this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had tea with him. This kid has always been a matter of fact. He never said that because of this incident, everyone opposed him and he went to take revenge on others!" Gao Shilian He also nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin was very satisfied when he heard him say this. It's good that his son-in-law doesn't get attacked by those people. Before that, it was all disputes between the court and the court, and there was no personal hatred. That's good.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Tubo mission will arrive tomorrow, and we need to send someone to meet it tomorrow. Look at the royal family, who should we send to meet it?" Li Jing immediately asked Li Shimin.

"Well, Gao Ming can't go, the king of Tubo has just confirmed his status, and he is very young, he can be considered a young talent, but his ambition is not small!" Li Shimin sat there for a while and said.

"Father, this person may move the capital, and other forces in Tubo may be annexed by him. Among them, Songtsan Gambo has Lu Dongzan by his side, and Lu Dongzan is very capable. This time he will lead the team. This is the person who came here!" Sitting there, Li Chengqian reported to Li Shimin that he was very clear about the intelligence of the enemy country.

"Oh, Songtsan Gampo will annex other forces?" Li Shimin asked after hearing this.

"Yes, not only yes, but according to my son's analysis, Tuyuhun is likely to be annexed by him, so what my son means is to beware of Tubo!" Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said.

"Well, let Li Ke go, not Gao Ming, Gao Ming is the prince, my Tang Dynasty will not send a prince to welcome other countries, if Songtsan Gampo's younger brother is not present this time, Ke'er can't go!" Li Shimin considered All at once, he said to Li Jing.

"Yes, we are still figuring out the intention of Lu Dongzan's visit this time!" Li Jing replied while sitting there, clasping his hands.

"For support, he hopes that our Datang will support him, and at the same time let my army of the Tang Dynasty not attack Tubo this winter. If possible, I hope to persuade my army of the Tang Dynasty to attack Tuyuhun and contain the main force of Tuyuhun. In this way, next year Songtsen Gampo wanted to move the capital. Once the capital was moved, Songtsen Gampo would be able to fully control the Tubo army.

Because the new capital can stare at all the forces, and in addition, after the capital is moved, the Tubo side may reclaim a lot of fertile land, and the Tubo side also wants to strengthen their national power, but it may not be a good thing for my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that Tubo will send a lot of property this time, and I hope to persuade the army of Tang Dynasty not to attack Tubo in winter at least! "Sitting there, Li Chengqian said analytically that he still has a lot of information in his hands.

"Oh, there are other things like this?" Li Jing looked at Li Chengqian in surprise after hearing this.

"That's right, so after seeing him this time, I will discuss with you how we should deal with them this winter!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Well, Your Majesty, if this is the case, I suggest that you send troops quickly to put pressure on Tubo!" Li Jing said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Well, I know this, but now my army in the Tang Dynasty still needs to cultivate for a while. In the past two years, your expedition to the Turks can be said to have emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. Although the treasury still has some money, but to prepare for a big battle, four or five million yuan is not enough, especially in the battle against Tubo, the strength of the Tubo army should not be underestimated." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Yes, money is needed, but if you don't deal with him at this time, it will be even more difficult to deal with them when they become stronger!" Li Jing looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Father, my son's suggestion is to fight. Tubo now restricts the entry of merchants from my Tang Dynasty. If you are a merchant with porcelain and other valuable non-daily necessities, you are not allowed to go, but bring salt, paper and other daily necessities. , they will let them go, I guess they know that those porcelains have caused them to lose a lot of wealth, if they don't clean up, I'm worried that the merchants of my Tang Dynasty may not be able to enter!" Li Chengqian immediately Said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and asked.

"Yes, father, now only Tubo is like this. From May onwards, our caravans loaded with porcelain will not be allowed in!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded, sitting there thinking, and now he is also thinking about whether to fight, fight, Datang's army can beat it,
But this battle is all about the whole body. If it is fought, the Turkic side will definitely make moves, and even Tuyuhun will definitely make moves. They all understand the reason why their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. They are trembling, every move of Datang, they are staring,
Maybe Goguryeo and Baekje in the Northeast will take action, so once they want to fight, both the North and the Northeast need to be prepared.

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is to call the generals to discuss how to fight and when to fight!" Li Jing said while sitting there, cupping his hands.

"Can't fight, can't fight!" Li Shimin stood up at this moment, and said anxiously in his heart.Li Jing and the others looked at Li Shimin.

"You are the right servant, you know the situation of the Tang Dynasty, and it has only been slowed down in the past two years. The people have just settled down, and they started fighting. You also know where the taxes of the Tang Dynasty have been spent in the past two years. How to play? Where does the money come from, at least 500 million yuan, where does it come from?

This battle is estimated to eat up the tax balance of Datang for three to four years, and it will affect the future development of Datang. At the same time, it will also cause a series of troubles. Once there is a problem with Datang, we will Faced with attacks from the northwest, north and northeast, this is not the first time they have spied on my Tang land!
Now we don't move, and we can still suppress them. If we move, and if we fail, the casualties will be heavy. Just watch, Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo will definitely send troops to invade the border ! " Li Shimin looked at them with a headache and said,

After hearing this, Li Jing sighed and stopped insisting. He knew that what Li Shimin said was true. The people of Tang Dynasty really had a better life in the past two years. It's okay, if you lose, no one knows what the consequences will be. It doesn't matter if you are making small troubles at the border now, but once you dispatch a large army to fight, it will consume a lot of supplies.

"At that time, call some ministers to discuss it!" Li Shimin sighed and said, Li Jing nodded.

"Father, it would be the best if we can continue to fight until next winter. By next winter, I believe that those countries will also be on the verge of collapse, especially Tuyuhun and Turkic!" Li Chengqian cupped his hands at Li Shimin.

"Well, I know!" Li Shimin nodded and said,

But at this moment, Wei Hao was lying at home, eating fruit, feeling extremely comfortable.

"You son of a bitch, there are several groups of people coming outside. They wanted to ask you something, but you didn't see any of them? How can you be an official?" Wei Furong came to Wei Hao's study at this moment, kicked Wei Hao, and cursed.

"No, I'm so busy every day, as if the world would be dead without me. Father, how is our family's food growing this year?" Wei Hao asked.

"Fortunately, it hasn't rained since your Majesty went to Juxian Building last time. The weather is still hot. I think it will not rain within half a month. The rice still needs some water. If there is not enough There will be enough water, so, yesterday, Dad asked people to open the reservoir, and began to irrigate for the last time. It is estimated that the harvest will be good. By the way, the cotton is also good. A few days ago, the old man went to see the cotton , the growth is good, and there are many flower buds, very good!" Sitting there, Wei Furong said happily.

"That's good, the common people know, we bought the cotton, and we will exchange it with them for grain!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"I said it, but there are some people who have planted some in their Yongye fields and want to keep them for themselves. Shen Yong, are you right?" Wei Furong asked.

"Success, of course it is. Cotton will be promoted nationwide next year. By then, the common people will have supplies to keep out the cold. In winter, people will not freeze to death!" Wei Hao nodded and said indifferently.

"That's good!" Wei Furong also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Wei Hao agreed, he was afraid that Wei Hao would not agree.

"By the way, yesterday the patriarch came to Juxian Building for dinner and said he had something to see you, are you free?" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and asked, Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong, he was lying at home, and actually asked Are you free?

"Okay, I'll send someone to talk to him later, if he wants to come!" Wei Furong said with a smile.

"Father, take a break. You're not hot, aren't you drying out?" Wei Hao stared at Wei Furong and said.

"I'm not tired, what's the point of being tired? By the way, I'm going to your third sister's house tonight. Your third sister may have a baby in the next two days. I have to bring some things over there. I'm afraid I'll need them later!" Wei Furong said Wei Hao said.

"Oh, by the way, the third sister is about to give birth, I'll take a look too!" Wei Hao sat up immediately when he heard it.

"What did you do in the past? You can go to such a place, stay at home, and if there is any news, I will send someone to find you!" Wei Furong stared at Wei Hao and cursed. Young men cannot give birth to women. I went there because I was afraid of encountering bad things, and giving birth at that time was like walking through the gate of hell, so Wei Furong was actually very nervous, but there was no way, and no one could guarantee anything.

"I'll go to the imperial hospital in the afternoon and find two imperial doctors!" Wei Hao said after thinking about it.

"Why are you looking for them? It's okay. When the time comes, it's not the first time your third sister has a baby. It's okay!" Wei Furong immediately shook his head and said, there is no need to make a big fuss now, besides, Wei Furong will also bring some doctors there. "Okay!" Wei Hao nodded when he heard it.

"You too, you should be on duty when you should be on duty. What's the matter with staying at home? You still have to wait for His Majesty to deal with you?" Wei Furong said, staring at Wei Hao.

"What are you afraid of? He's reasonable. He agreed to let me rest for a few days. I was beaten. The real rest is just one day. I don't want to lie down for a few more days?" Wei Hao said indifferently. Wei Furong also took Wei Hao has no choice, this bastard seems to be reasonable no matter what he does.

For the next few days, Wei Hao was lying at home, and Li Shimin didn't look for him. Until the fifth day, Wei Hao was very honest, went to work, and had almost rested. At this time, Li Shimin and Wang De came over.

"Your Majesty said the exact words, bastard, it's almost time to rest, and it's time to go to Jingzhao Mansion, otherwise, I will bring people over to continue the court!" Wang De finished speaking and looked at Wei Hao with a smile.

Wei Hao looked at him depressedly.

"It's His Majesty's exact words! These days, His Majesty has been reluctant to buy you and came to see you. There are many things in court now! Otherwise, he would have come a long time ago!" Wang De explained to Wei Hao with a smile.

"I originally planned to go today, come, come and drink tea, come here, prepare some tea, I will bring it back to the prince later, I always forget to bring it to you!" Wei Hao said to Wang De with a smile.

"Success, thank you Duke Xia!" Wang De said with a smile. Who doesn't envy Wei Hao's tea leaves? The best tea leaves are not for sale, they are all given away.

After seeing off Wang De, Wei Hao went to Jingzhao Mansion.

"My God, you are here. Come, please sit down, sit down, come here, and send over all the official documents you have accumulated over the past few days!" Li Ke was so happy when he saw Wei Hao coming, he immediately stood up Got up, pulled Wei Hao to sit on the main seat, and then shouted loudly.

"What's the rush? Is there anything important!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, but it's the little things that give me a headache. Really, I'm too busy now. I have to stay with Lu Dongzan and keep an eye on the Overwatch Council. This time the Overwatch Council found out Two corrupt officials, the amount of corruption has reached thousands of dollars! They are watching now!" Li Ke looked at Wei Hao helplessly and said.

"Lu Dongzan? It sounds familiar, who is it?" Wei Hao looked at Li Ke and asked.

"It's a person from Tubo, equivalent to the prime minister of Tubo. This person is not easy to deal with. Now we are asked to send troops from the Tang Dynasty to Tuyuhun!" Li Ke said to Wei Hao.

"Are you kidding me? Didn't we try our best not to fight wars this year? Besides, I have to listen to others when I go to war? Isn't it up to us to fight or not?" Wei Hao said in surprise when he heard it.

"That's what I said, but, hey, anyway, I don't know what to talk about! If you want to know, you can go to the father, it is he who talked with the father, otherwise, you can ask You Pushe , he's here too, I couldn't get in!" Li Ke immediately waved his hand and said, still complaining a bit in his tone, Wei Hao just looked at him.

"It's okay, I'm just too busy, I'll be fine when you come back!" Li Ke said with a smile, actually very aggrieved in his heart, this time he received the reception by himself, but he didn't know what to talk about, and he just entered it I went to listen in the room, but the prince was always inside. Sometimes Li Ke thought of this, and felt a little disheartened.
He knew that he was Li Chengqian's whetstone, but he didn't want to be a whetstone at all. There was still a big gap between him and Li Chengqian in Li Shimin's mind, and he couldn't change it.
However, looking at Wei Hao in front of him, he knew that if he asked who could help him turn things around, he was the only one in front of him, but he would not help him now, after all, he and Li Chengqian seemed to be closer!
"Well, then get busy with your business. Leave it to me. In fact, there is nothing to do. In winter, you may be free!" Wei Hao said with a smile. Now there are so many construction sites, there is no way , Winter, probably not so many things, just as he was talking, the eldest grandson rushed over and walked straight to Wei Hao's side.

"You two Shaoyins, you are in trouble, I think you will be in trouble!" The eldest grandson rushed over and said in a hurry.
