Chapter 627 Spying
Chapter 623

Lu Dongzan can't sit still in Chang'an, and Li Shimin has never returned to Chang'an, so it's hard to get news about the core of Datang.
However, Lu Dongzan is also very worried about Datang's strength now. This time when Datang beat Goguryeo, Lu Dongzan thought that Datang would spend a lot of effort, and there must be huge casualties, but he did not expect that Goguryeo was defeated so easily. up,
Then Lu Dongzan found out that it was because Datang was equipped with a grenade, which was powerful, and it was made by Wei Hao.

Now, he urgently needs to go to Chang'an to understand Datang's policy on Tubo.

And that afternoon, Fu Yu rushed to them and started to go back, and now they couldn't go back,
Of course, Wei Hao has nothing to do. Now Wei Hao is very nervous, because he found that those ears of rice have begun to sprout, but he still doesn't know if the rice will be full. In addition, what is the yield? During this period of time, Wei Hao also went to the rice field every morning. Sometimes, Wei Hao went to see those sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were growing very well. Don’t worry at all. Wei Hao even dug the soil and saw that there were already small sweet potatoes growing underneath. Yes, I feel relieved a lot.
In the afternoon, Wei Hao taught Li Shen at the mansion. Li Shen was very talented. Wei Hao liked it very much. He gave all his things to Li Shen. However, now Wei Hao also started to train Li Shen. Personality, when he is free, Wei Hao will take Li Shen to the market and let him play with the children outside. Every time he plays for an afternoon, even if it is hot and sweaty, Wei Hao will wait not far away. Children still have a playful nature,

In addition, sometimes when meeting unimportant people, Wei Hao would take him with him to let him get in touch with the outside world instead of hiding at home every day to read and study.

One day, Wei Hao was teaching Li Shen, when suddenly a report came from outside, saying that Concubine Wei Gui had come.Wei Hao hurried out to meet him.

"I've seen my aunt!" Wei Hao reached the gate, saw Concubine Wei getting off the carriage, and immediately stood there and said with cupped hands.

"Well, Shen Yong, today my aunt specially sent some fruits from the palace, and some children's clothes. My aunt is in the palace for nothing, just making children's clothes. Knowing that there are many children in your house, I will make more!" Concubine Wei Gui said to Wei Hao very happily.

"Mother!" Li Shen also looked at Wei Guifei and said.

"Hey, did you listen to Master? Don't be playful and don't do homework!" Concubine Wei immediately bent down and looked at her son carefully. It can be said that this son is all his hopes, no matter what he will become in the future. Man, what he can count on in the future is this son.

"You're a good student and very talented!" Wei Hao also stood beside him and said.

"Well, that's good!" Concubine Wei felt relieved when she heard what Wei Hao said.

"Auntie, please come to the mansion!" Wei Hao said with a smile, knowing that Concubine Wei Gui came here, there must be something to do, it is impossible to come here specially to deliver something, just arrived at the mansion, and saw Li Lizhi and Li Siyuan coming up.

"I've seen the imperial concubine!" The two of them saluted Wei Guifei.

"Well, no courtesy, children are fun?" Concubine Wei smiled and walked over, holding Li Lizhi with one hand and Li Siyuan with the other.

"Fortunately, it's just that there's a lot of trouble now, but it's not as easy as before. It's hard to put him to sleep now!" Li Lizhi said with a smile.

"That's right, he'll be even more naughty next time. He's interested in everything and wants to touch everything. It's okay not to give it to him!" Concubine Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, there are signs of this now!" Li Siyuan also said with a wry smile,
They also know that Concubine Wei and Wei Hao are aunts and nephews. Although they are not very close, they are relatives from the same ancestral hall. In this era, the family concept is too strong. Concubine Wei chatted with them for a while, Li Lizhi They left, and Li Shen was escorted away by Concubine Wei, Concubine Wei, Wei Hao, and a few court ladies remained in the living room.

"A few days ago, the patriarch wrote to me, saying that he wanted you to be the elder of the family! Let me come over and tell you, because before, the family had this proposal and it was rejected! Now let me come and ask you Meaning." Wei Guifei looked at Wei Hao and said.

"I, as an elder, what's the use of this? Forget it, aunt, I don't know anything about family affairs!" Wei Hao felt strange when he heard it, and quickly waved his hands and said.

"Shen Yong, you heard from my aunt that the patriarch said in the letter that whether the family can prosper in the future depends on you. He is old, and other clan elders are also old. What he means is that he hopes you can take over the family. The position of patriarch, though logically passed to his son,

But my cousins, I also know their abilities, their qualifications are mediocre, and it is difficult to take on important responsibilities. Now, all the families are cautious, worried that the emperor will deal with them. I am very clear about the meaning of the patriarch, and he is also I hope you can protect your family. Concubine Wei Gui sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Auntie, I'm really not interested. I've helped anyone in the family that can help. Now our family is still supporting the family's school, but let me take care of specific things. I really don't have the energy! "Wei Hao looked at Concubine Wei and said, he was also thinking about what Wei Yuanzhao meant, why did he bring up this matter, he had clearly rejected it at the beginning, but now he actually wants to make himself the patriarch in the future.

"Well, since you are not interested, then my aunt will return to the patriarch like this. However, in terms of the interests of the family, you are the most suitable patriarch, and you can also convince the public. In our family, you have the highest title and status. The highest, and the emperor also trusts you, if you are appointed as the patriarch, then the family will definitely prosper!" Concubine Wei looked at Wei Hao and continued to persuade,

Of course, he hoped that Wei Hao would be the one. After all, if Li Shen had the opportunity in the future, Wei Hao would be able to concentrate the strength of the family and assist Li Shen. With high prestige, with Wei Hao's support, Li Shen will definitely succeed, but all of this has to wait, wait for the opportunity,

However, Concubine Wei still hopes to make a good plan in advance. If there is no chance, forget it. If there is a chance, she will suffer a loss if she does not make a good plan. The chance will be great, and as long as Changsun Wuji is killed, then Li Shen's chance will be even greater, but all of this requires Wei Hao's nod, if Wei Hao doesn't nod, everything will be in vain!

"Auntie, do you think it's a good thing that a family is too powerful? Our Wei family is not a royal family!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile, looking at Concubine Wei Gui. When Concubine Wei heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Wei Hao.

"Auntie, it's good for the family to look like this. If you want to expand power and financial resources, do you think the royal family will not be vigilant? Besides, if I were the patriarch, what would other people think of our Wei family? I will rest assured of our Wei family! Only when I have constant conflicts with the Wei family can everyone be relieved!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Guifei and said with a smile.

"This!" Wei Guifei looked at Wei Hao in surprise, she really didn't know what Wei Hao thought.

"You tell the patriarch that no matter who is the patriarch, I will support it. In the future, when the family encounters important things, if I can help, I will definitely help. Don't think about other things. It may not be a good thing! Also Auntie, you'd better let Shen'er's affairs take its course, otherwise, I'm afraid it will lead to a crisis, and now Datang is doing well in every aspect, so don't make trouble!" Wei Hao continued to remind Concubine Wei Gui,
Concubine Wei also solemnly nodded to Wei Hao, knowing in her heart that Wei Hao had actually said in a veiled manner that Wei Hao would help if given the opportunity.

"Okay, it's my aunt who was worrying too much, since you've thought it all over, it's fine!" Concubine Wei nodded and said,

At noon, Concubine Wei had dinner at Wei Hao's mansion. After all, she was returning to her mother's house, and Wei Hao would definitely entertain her well. At the same time, Wei Hao's concubines also came to see her. Those children, Concubine Wei were all They hugged each other and gave gifts to each other.
After resting for a while, Wei Hao's family sent Concubine Wei back.
After returning to the study, Wei Hao sat in the study, thinking about this matter, wondering why such a thing suddenly happened, and let himself be the patriarch?

After thinking for a while, Wei Hao didn't figure it out, so he continued to read. At night, the porter at the door knocked on the door outside the study and said, "Master, there is a Tubo man outside, named Lu Dongzan, who said he wanted to visit the master. , and also sent a greeting card!"

When Wei Hao heard it, Lu Dongzan, isn’t he in Chang’an? Why did he come to Luoyang? Wei Hao looked at the clock, and it was already eight o’clock in the evening. When he came here at this time, people who didn’t know thought he was in collusion with him Woolen cloth.

"Take the greeting card back and ask him to come over tomorrow afternoon, just say, I have something to do tonight, I'm busy!" Wei Hao said to the porter outside.

"Yes, sir!" The doorman nodded immediately upon hearing this,

The next morning, Wei Hao continued to look at the farmland, and then went to the Yamen to see if there was anything wrong. After all, he was the governor, and some things still needed to be handled by himself.
At noon, Wei Hao and Wei Chen had a meal together, then Wei Hao returned to the mansion, took a nap for a while, and heard the manager say that Lu Dongzan came to visit again, Wei Hao was a little unhappy, and sat down Get up and let the steward take him in. Soon, Lu Dongzan came in, and was caught to the greenhouse.

"Meet Xia Guogong!"

"I've seen the prime minister!" Seeing him coming in, Wei Hao also stood up, and after handcuffing each other, Wei Hao said to Lu Dongzan, please sit down.

"I don't know if the Prime Minister came to see me, but what's the matter?" Wei Hao sat there and started making tea, and said.

"It's nothing important. I just arrived in Luoyang. I must come to visit you, the governor. Otherwise, how can I walk in Luoyang?" Lu Ludongzan said jokingly.

"Haha, then there's no need, don't worry, as long as Honglu Temple asks you to come here, you can go anywhere you want in Luoyang, provided they let you in!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Haha, Xia Guogong was joking, um, your place is really good, these climbing vines cover the sun, making it very cool and comfortable below, I have to say, Xia Guogui will enjoy it!" Lu Dongzan began to talk about other things , Wei Hao didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Well, it's okay, I still have to enjoy how much I have? Otherwise, why do I earn so much money?" Wei Hao smiled and stopped asking. Since Lu Dongzan came to see him, there must be something wrong .Then Lu Dongzhan said something else, Wei Hao nodded politely, anyway, he didn’t have anything to do today, so he played with him, but after talking for a while, Lu Dongzan felt that Wei Hao just didn’t talk, even if it was himself When he mentioned Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, he didn't answer the conversation, which made Lu Dongzan a little depressed.

"Xia Guogong, I don't know if Datang is going to fight the Western Turks or other countries after defeating Goguryeo?" Lu Dongzan couldn't bear it now, so he could only ask first.

"Why, you want me to arrest you for spying on my Tang Dynasty? You can ask such a question?" Wei Hao smiled, looked at Lu Dongzan and said.

"No no no, Xia Guogong misunderstood, isn't it, are you worried? Datang has such a strong military strength. As a neighboring country of Datang, it is false to say that we have no worries. Now I also heard that Datang is going to annex the three northeast countries. And in the northwest, you also have enemies in the north, so don't you want to annex our Tubo?" Lu Dongzan still didn't give up, he still wanted to find out some news.

"Don't worry, as far as I'm concerned, I haven't heard any news about this, and the court hasn't discussed it. If you think you Tubo are not doing well, then just do it well in the future!" Wei Hao smiled. Said for a while.

"That's, that's, it's just that the military strength of Datang is so strong now, it's really hard to be reassured!" Lu Dongzan said, looking at Wei Hao with a sneer.

"Then what are you going to do? Let me reduce my strength in the lobby? Is it possible? Or, you Tubo launched an attack on my Datang in advance?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a sneer and said.

"No, no, we don't mean that, Xia Guogong, please understand the worries of our small countries. Once the Tang Dynasty launches a war, it will destroy the three dependent countries. This, let us, eh!" Lu Dongzan sat There, he said with a sigh.

"How do you know that we wiped out the three kingdoms? We only fought Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla. We haven't fought yet!" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan suspiciously and said, Wei Hao knew that Lu Dongzan was With his own source of information, Wei Hao wanted to know how much he knew.

"Xia Guogong, let's know that people don't speak dark words. Baekje and Silla will definitely be merged into the Tang Dynasty, right?" Lu Dongzan still stared at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao heard it, smiled, and asked back: "Is it so easy?" After hearing this, Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that his news was wrong?
