Chapter 472 Empress Zhangsun's Difficulties

Chapter 468

Wei Hao and Li Shimin chatted in Ganlu Hall for a while, and it was time for lunch.

"Shen Yong, and you two, let's eat here at noon, Shen Yong hasn't eaten here for a long time!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao and Dai Zhou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dai Zhou and Li Xiaogong immediately clasped their hands and said, eating with the emperor is an honor, but you can't get enough to eat, dare not eat enough, but Wei Hao is an exception.

"I just came here during the meal!" Wei Hao said while touching his stomach.

"You don't want to come, kid. If you want to come, how can your father lose your share of food?" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and blamed him.

"Hey, aren't you busy? After dinner, I have to go to my mother's side!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"En!" Li Shimin nodded, while Wang De went out to make arrangements.

"By the way, you put so much effort into repairing the bridge before winter?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"That's, if it wasn't for the tight time, I wouldn't go to bask in the sun. By the way, father, there is another thing, that is, the cotton thing. This year's cotton harvest is good. There are probably a lot of seeds. When the time comes To the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and each state will get a share, let the people plant it, and tell the people that after the planting, the seeds will return to the court, and the cotton will belong to them. When the people's families can save the seeds themselves, we don't care about it. , Shenyong, you did a good job, but you lost money growing cotton in the past two years, right?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It doesn't matter how much you can lose!" Wei Hao said with a smile and waved his hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty and Xia Guogong, once the minister spreads it, the people around Chang'an will know about cotton. There must be no problem for them to plant it. I believe there will be no problem in other places. I believe it will be planted on dry land. The people will plant,
In addition, Xia Guogong, I know that your family has planted a lot this year. I hope you can spread the usefulness of cotton, for example, make cotton quilts, sell them, and sell them in the south. Let's plant it. This kind of cold-proof material is very important to our Tang Dynasty. Every year when the cold wave comes, many people will freeze to death. If there is cotton, so many people will not freeze to death! "Dai Zhou said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, no problem, but this workshop is handed over to Li Zhi, you can go find her when the time comes!" Wei Hao nodded, and said to Dai Zhou, after a while, the food came, one table for five, five One dish and one soup.

"So rich?" Wei Hao looked at the dishes on the table and said happily.

"Your Majesty specifically asked you, Xia Guogong, you don't often come to Ganlu Palace to eat!" Wang De said immediately beside him.

"Well, eat more, look at you, how dark you are!" Li Shimin also nodded on the top and said, Wei Hao nodded, picked up his rice bowl, and started to eat. After a while, Wei Hao's bowl of rice had bottomed out It was gone, but Li Xiaogong and Dai Zhou had a bite.

"One more bowl!" Wei Hao handed the bowl to the maid next to him, and the maid went to serve the meal immediately, they knew Wei Hao's appetite.

"You can't do it either, you eat such delicious food so slowly, eat more! If you don't eat it, it's a waste, that's a crime!" Wei Hao looked at Li Xiaogong and Dai Zhou, and found that they were eating very carefully.

"Yes, what Shen Yong said is right, eat more, don't waste it!" Li Shimin also said above. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two said immediately!

"Eating is not so particular, eat first!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

And Wei Hao sat there alone, killing six bowls of rice, and looked at Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong in a daze.

"It's better to be young. When I was young, I could eat so much!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said with emotion.

"I'm hungry. I'm on the construction site in the morning, watching those people work, and instructing them to work. Usually, there are up to four bowls!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat!" Dai Zhou also said with a smile. They also ate two bowls. They originally planned to eat one bowl, but seeing Wei Hao's appetite and Li Shimin's happiness, they thought Such a delicious dish, it would be a waste not to be full.

"Okay, let's take it down, Shenyong, come over and drink tea!" Li Shimin smiled and said to the maids around him, who immediately took the food away, and then went to the next tea table to drink tea,
After chatting for a while, Wei Hao went to the harem, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he arrived at the Lizheng Hall.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why did it take you so long to come?" Li Zhi saw Wei Hao entering the Ganlu Hall, and immediately ran over and shouted, with Sizi behind him.

"Oh, busy, come here, let me give you a hug, hey, you are getting fat again, can you eat less?" Wei Hao hugged Li Zhi up.

"I eat very little, and I don't even have any snacks!" Li Zhi complained to Wei Hao.

"Then run more, don't just sit there after eating!" Wei Hao put down Li Zhi, and then picked up Sizi.

"Si, do you miss your brother-in-law?" Wei Hao said while hugging Si.

"Yeah, yeah!" Sizi nodded happily, holding a rattle in his hand.

"Well, where's the queen mother?" Wei Hao asked his son-in-law.

"It's inside, brother-in-law, I'll take you there!" Sizi said happily. Li Zhi and Sizi liked Wei Hao very much because Wei Hao played with them.

"Here, Shen Yong!" Empress Changsun was already waiting for Wei Hao at the gate of the main hall.

"Mother, is there any food available?" Wei Hao asked while holding his son.

"That's it, let's eat in the Ganlu Hall, come in, and drink tea!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, and soon Wei Hao and Empress Changsun arrived at the tea table. The maids here are ready, and Empress Changsun sat Go make tea.Wei Hao was holding his son, and Li Zhi was sitting next to Wei Hao.

"Why is it so dark? Are you so tired of repairing the bridge? You let the people below do it!" Empress Changsun sat there, saw Wei Hao being so dark, and immediately said it.

"It's okay, the main reason is that they don't know how to cultivate, and they need me to teach them!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Well, Gao Ming went to Zhao Guogong's mansion a few days ago. I heard that your mother persuaded me?" Empress Changsun asked Wei Hao.

"Well, uncle can't be left out in the cold. Anyway, uncle also has the merits of being a dragon, and he also has a lot of influence in the court. No matter how bad uncle is, it's for His Highness. So now uncle is thinking behind closed doors at home. What's wrong with His Highness?" I'm going to visit too!" Sitting there, Wei Hao nodded and said.

"It's still you who are sensible, and you are still a little less clever!" Empress Changsun nodded very satisfied.

"Your Highness is mainly afraid of Lizhi's displeasure, because the relationship between me and my uncle is quite stiff, but the matter between me and my uncle is a private matter between the two of us, but Chang Sun Chong and I are still buddies. , this does not affect us!" Sitting there, Wei Hao continued to speak to Empress Changsun.

"That's right, your uncle is narrow-minded. Compared with you, he is much worse! Don't blame the queen mother, the queen mother can't do anything about it. Sometimes the queen mother wants to reprimand him for her elder brother. But, he is still the elder brother after all, if there is something, the queen mother can't say it!" Empress Changsun hinted at Wei Hao.

"Understood, queen mother, don't worry about my uncle and I!" Wei Hao nodded immediately.

"Well, come, drink tea!" Empress Changsun poured tea for Wei Hao.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Hao thanked his son in his arms.

"By the way, now Lizhi is also busy with the two workshops you built, and Lizhi will also take care of the affairs of your mansion. At that time, this workshop will be handed over to the Crown Princess and Lizhi to manage it. What do you think? "Empress Changsun continued to speak to Wei Hao.

"Okay, anyway, I don't care, whoever cares." Wei Hao said indifferently, knowing in his heart whether she was eccentric, or she was eccentric to the princess.

"You! You are obviously capable, so why are you so lazy? If you take care of those workshops, the queen mother will feel at ease. Now I leave it to Su Mei to take care of it. I've heard it, but now the queen mother can't move, after all, everyone makes mistakes, we just need to see if they will correct it!" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile, Wei Hao looked at Empress Changsun incomprehensibly.

"I know everything about Su Rui. The reason why I didn't deal with it was that I waited for Su Mei to find out, or Gao Ming found out by himself. If they are still like this at the end of the year, then Ben Gong didn't say that. , Shenyong, you have to understand this palace, they still need to temper themselves, and such opportunities are rare!" Empress Changsun said while looking at Wei Hao.

"It's the queen mother, but this will have a great impact on the royal family. When the father finds out, he will be angry!" Wei Hao reminded the eldest grandson queen.

"The queen mother knows, if you get angry, you can get angry. They are also his son and daughter-in-law. Now that he has carried Ke'er out, how can it be so bad?" Empress Changsun sat there and said with a wry smile. Wei Hao knew that during this time Empress Changsun and Li Shimin are stubborn because of Li Ke's affairs.

"Yes, but there is still no problem with the uncle, the key is the sister-in-law, what should not be done, many businessmen have great opinions." Wei Hao looked at the eldest grandson queen and said.

"An official's daughter wants to be the mother of the world. How can she do it without going through some things? Because it is enough to give birth to an eldest son, how can it be so simple? Give her more opportunities and let her grow up by herself! Su Rui This person is greedy, and it will depend on how Su Mei will deal with it!" Empress Changsun said while looking at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Yes, since you know all about the queen mother, I don't have to worry about anything." Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"What about you, don't talk about it, and don't care about it. I heard that many businessmen have already discussed secretly and went to you, because those workshops are all made by you. They believe that you will take care of things. This matter , don't worry about it!" Empress Changsun confessed to Wei Hao.

"Looking for me, why are you looking for me?" Wei Hao was startled when he heard this, he didn't know the news yet.

"Don't worry about looking for you!" Empress Changsun continued emphatically.

"But queen mother, if they come to me, I don't care, then?" Wei Hao also looked at the eldest grandson empress and asked in embarrassment. If he didn't care, his status among those businessmen would be greatly reduced, and he didn't care Conscience can't justify it.

"Once they come to you, call Gao Ming and Su Mei and let them settle it. Don't make any decisions, and see how they deal with it!" Empress Changsun thought about it and said to Wei Hao.

"That's fine!" Wei Hao nodded.

"Well, Su Mei is not sensible either!" Empress Changsun said with a sigh.

"Mother, as you said, how does she know so much?" Wei Hao immediately persuaded the eldest grandson empress.

"I don't understand such things, but crowding out people is very powerful. In those workshops before, those people promoted by Lizhi were basically pushed down by them. The queen mother was worried that once Su Mei took power, she would become a What does it look like!" Empress Changsun said with a wry smile.

"Impossible? But, it's understandable, she accepts the workshop, she must use her own people!" Wei Hao was also surprised, and said.

"Lizhi is also angry with the birth mother during this time, saying that the mother doesn't care about the affairs of those workshops and is being tossed about by them, how can she understand the difficulties of the mother!
So much money was supposed to be handed over to Su Mei to inherit and manage it. If he can't manage it well, not only His Majesty will have a problem with him, but the royal family will have a problem with her. For some things, it's better to experience it sooner than later. Experience is better!
Shenyong, it’s difficult for a queen mother. Your father’s tempering of Gao Ming also forced your mother to temper them. The queen mother also knows that tempering is a good thing, but if the tempering is not good, it will be useless. Do you understand the worry of the queen mother? ? "Empress Changsun sat there and said with a sigh.

"Empress mother, son-in-law understands, just saying, hey, there are some things that need to be woken up!" Wei Hao nodded and said to the eldest grandson empress.

"You can't click it. If you wake up, it's never as good as thinking it through yourself. If you don't suffer, you don't gain knowledge!" Empress Changsun stared at Wei Hao and shook her head with a wry smile. Wei Hao heard it and didn't know what to say.

"Ke'er is great, tell the queen mother about Ke'er!" Empress Changsun sat there and asked Wei Hao.

"The king of Shu is useless. He is very similar to the emperor father, but he may not be as powerful as his brother-in-law. If he wants to become the crown prince, he can be confused about small things, but not about big things. The emperor knows about it. Therefore, the queen mother does not have to worry about the king of Shu." !" Wei Hao immediately comforted Empress Changsun.

"Oh? You think he's not good?" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"No, Queen Mother, he can't. From the time I got to know him, I feel that I can't do it. He is clever, and he is indeed very clever, but like Qingque, he is too clever. He thinks that no one knows, but in fact they don't know. If something is done, it is impossible for people in the world not to know about it! There is no impenetrable wall in the world!" Wei Hao nodded and said with certainty.

"Okay, with your words, the queen mother is more at ease. The queen mother does not believe what others say, but the queen mother believes what you say!" The empress Changsun couldn't help smiling at this moment, and then said: "Qingque, you also think no?"

"Queen Mother, Qing Que is too smart and too calculating. She is shrewd in small matters but confused in big ones. It won't work!" Wei Hao said with certainty.

"Well, that's fine too. It's good to be a prince. I hope he can understand it himself. Don't bother!" Empress Changsun said again with a sigh.

"Queen, don't blame Erchen for telling the truth, my uncle is pretty good, but he is a bit kinder, and this one is not very good!" Wei Hao then said to the eldest grandson empress.

"The queen mother knows that her own child, can she not know? I can only let him learn to grow up slowly!" Empress Changsun nodded and said,
After chatting for a while in the Lizheng Hall, Wei Hao went out. Before returning, he promised Li Zhi and Si Zi that he would bring them delicious food.
After leaving the palace, Wei Hao sighed, he was really tired, idiots want to climb up every day, he still finished those things, and honestly went home to hug his wife and children, he didn’t participate in power matters, No one dared to do anything to him, so Wei Hao returned to his mansion. This afternoon, Wei Hao didn't want to move anymore and wanted to sleep. Anyway, now that everything is done, it's okay to be lazy for a long time.
The next day after Wei Hao got up, he practiced martial arts, and then went to Bahe River. When he arrived in Bahe River, Wei Hao continued to stare at the workers while he was drinking sour plum soup, lying under a big willow tree by the river, looking down. It's actually very pleasant to work with people, but I have to go down every half an hour to see how those workers are doing.

This flash, is half a month,
At this moment, the foundations of those piers have been laid and are being poured. Hundreds of people are pouring a pier, and many people are working. Officials from the Ministry of Industry are also watching behind Wei Hao.

"Before sunset today, we must finish pouring a bridge pier. If there are not enough people, we will send more people!" Wei Hao walked on the scaffolding, looked at the workers, poured the mixed cement into the bridge pier, and faced the engineering department said the official.

"Enough, we have calculated that one can be poured at noon, and another one will be poured tomorrow, one a day. In addition, the bridge piers over there are also at the ground level. Tomorrow, the bridge piers on the Weihe River also need to be poured. I need Mr. Xia, you go and have a look!" A chief of the Ministry of Industry reported to Wei Hao.

"Okay, one a day. It will be busy farming soon. Before the busy farming, all the bridge piers will be poured, and those workers will go back to harvest rice!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Xia Guogong, we told those workers that if they are willing to continue working here, the wages will be doubled, and they can hire people to harvest the grain. Some workers have enough staff at home and are willing to continue working here!" Wei Hao said, they know that things here can't be delayed, once the frost starts, things can't be done.

"Well, just hurry up, the bridge pier is finished, and the scaffolding of the bridge deck will be erected soon, and the bridge deck will be completed as soon as possible!" Wei Hao nodded, and said, at most two months, it will be winter, Wei Hao had no choice but to let the workers work faster.
