Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 767 Persuasion
Li Shimin hasn't heard from Wei Hao for a few days, and he is very worried, worried that Wei Hao will not agree to kill the family like this, and Li Shimin himself is also worried, worried that if he really kills it, it will cause trouble, but if he doesn't kill it, he will also worried,

So Li Shimin is still very entangled in his heart now. If this matter is to be expanded, then those officials of the family may be unlucky, and at most a few people will be left, but will the vacant positions cause trouble? Officials, Li Shimin needs to consider whether he can stabilize the court.
In addition, if Wei Hao has an opinion, it will still affect the court in the future. In addition, there are many workshops in Chang'an, but the tax revenue has not increased significantly.
On the contrary, there is still a trend of shrinking. The sales of those workshops that were opened before are now decreasing. This also worries Li Shimin. If the court does not have so much money, then how to fight wars in the future will require Wei Hao to do well. Li Shimin knew that Wei Hao actually had many workshops in his hands!

"I'll go and have a look later. Take care of the affairs of the court first. Father wants to talk to Shen Yong!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Father, let's do it!" Li Chengqian nodded, not knowing Li Shimin's worry.

Soon Li Shimin arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he didn't go to the prison, but went directly to the lake behind. The tent that Li Chengqian built before was still there. Li Shimin ordered people to make a fishing hole and sit there to fish. , sent someone to call Wei Hao,

Wei Hao was playing mahjong with someone else, and when he heard the jailer say someone was looking for him, Wei Hao was also curious, so he went out, and when he saw Wang De outside, Wei Hao knew that it was Li Shimin who had come.

"Xia Guogong, His Majesty is waiting for you on the lake behind, and has prepared fishing things for you!" Wang De said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, and walked directly to the lake, and entered the tent. Wei Hao immediately saluted Li Shimin.

"I've seen my father, why is my father here today?" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Come on, Shenyong, come here to fish. I have nothing to do these few days, so my father came here to see you!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Oh, okay, I also fished here with His Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, but I'm busy these days, so I didn't come here!" Wei Hao still said with a smile.

"Busy, kid, are you busy playing mahjong?" Li Shimin immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked. . .

"Hey, I call occasionally, mainly to check accounts!" Wei Hao still said with a smile.

"Come, drink tea, it's comfortable here, you can fish, drink tea and chat!" Li Shimin poured tea for Wei Hao, and Wei Hao took it with a smile.

"How long will it take to check the accounts?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Well, it's mainly because I'm busy, and checking the accounts is very slow!" Wei Hao immediately said with a smile.

"Don't play mahjong every day, right? Hey, let you be with those generals, you just don't learn well!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao helplessly and said.

"Hey, that's right, let's play once in a while!" Wei Hao still said with a smile, thinking in his heart, what is Li Shimin looking for in himself, could it be that he really came to see him, probably not, Li Shimin would not if he wanted to see himself Coming here, it is estimated that he will summon himself to the palace.

"Well, today we are just two, weng and son-in-law, let's chat!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, and started to get a fishing rod to go fishing.

"Shen Yong, what do you think of the capture of the patriarchs of the aristocratic families in this rebellion?" Li Shimin sat there, looking at the fish float, and asked casually.

"Very good, it has solved the serious problem of the emperor's confidant, and this can be done once and for all!" Wei Hao replied pretending to be casual.

"You really think so?" Li Shimin was surprised when he heard it, and immediately turned to look at Wei Hao and asked.

"Then how can you think about it? They've already been caught!" Wei Hao asked still pretending not to understand.

"Well, if you really think so, I can rest assured. Besides, has Gao Ming told you about King Wu?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"I've said it, but I haven't told those generals that it's inconvenient here. I'll talk to them after I get out. I guess I haven't dealt with King Wu so quickly right now?" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin and said, Li Shimin Nodded, it doesn't matter, as long as Wei Hao agrees.

"Shen Yong, Ke'er still deserves credit. Otherwise, Emperor Father would not have thought about keeping him. To tell you the truth, Emperor Father forced him to come out. Father Emperor personally wrote to him, to What he promised, and now this happened, although Ke'er had selfishness in it, but the effect is still good, killing those aristocratic families,
So there is some credit, but I can't say this credit, I can only ask you to help and save him. That night, you were good, saying that King Wu was kidnapped! "Li Shimin then looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao nodded and said nothing else.

"However, the emperor is worried that there are so many vacancies in the imperial court, and he is worried that the officials who are now transferred may not be qualified, so I still need to come and ask you!" Li Shimin then asked Wei Hao.

"Father, this matter, my son has also considered it. No matter what you do, there is a great risk. Originally, if you didn't come to me today, I would find a chance to go to Chengtian Palace to find my father. It's just that ,Hard to say,
My son is worried that my father will think that my son has selfish intentions and wants to keep those aristocratic families. You know my son. The relationship between my son and the family is not good. They were killed. To me, Baili There is no harm, but, for the court, it may not be so,

Also, when I saw these patriarchs, they were all tortured during the interrogation here, covered in blood, and felt pitiful. After all, they are also patriarchs of aristocratic families. Isn't it a bit too much to treat them like this? There are many people in the cell I have seen it all, but no one dares to say it, I guess I still can't bear it! "Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"What did you say? Torture? Who told them to use torture? They are the heads of the family. Even if they committed a crime, they can't use punishment!" Li Shimin said angrily when he heard this.

"That's right, father, it's inappropriate to do this. If it gets out, it will have a great impact on father's reputation. It is true that those aristocratic families have no prestige among the common people, but in the eyes of scholars, in the eyes of those In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, they still have prestige, and if they do this, I worry that the scholars in the world will not be convinced, and the officials in the court may not be convinced either!" Wei Hao continued as he sat there.

"Come here, go and investigate right away, why are you actively punishing those families!" Li Shimin shouted very unhappy, and immediately a school captain came in, and then went out with his hands clasped.

"Shen Yong, you just said that you are worried that getting rid of those officials of the aristocratic family will cause unstable things to happen to the court? This is the same as the emperor's consideration, so I am also very entangled now, whether to completely Clean it up!" Sitting there, Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Well, father, have you considered that if the family is completely cleaned up, King Wu may not be able to keep it. No matter what, those people will definitely bite King Wu.

Moreover, the common people also think that if there is no King Wu in the middle to command, how dare the people of those aristocratic families?There are so many officials in the court, how dare they cooperate with the family to do this?The aristocratic family rebelled, who wants to be the emperor, or are they assisting King Wu to become the emperor?This has a saying, but there is no way to convince the public! "Wei Hao sat there and continued to speak to Li Shimin.

"Yeah! That's right!" Li Shimin sat there and thought about it. Now those people from the aristocratic family insisted that King Wu encouraged them to do it. They didn't want to do it at first, but they went because King Wu gave them a guarantee. This is also a headache for Li Shimin. So many officials say so, so how can King Wu keep it?But now Li Shimin also understands that Wei Hao doesn't want to kill the family completely.

"Father, anyway, this matter has to be done. The general is not a problem. The key lies in the scholar!" Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin, and took out the general first, so as not to be worried by Li Shimin.

"Do you think there is no problem with the general? Are you sure?" Li Shimin immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yes, father, I still have some confidence in this point. I just said that it may be difficult for scholars. This requires father to arrange people to do the work!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin, not saying that he objected, Just say that those scholars objected, let Li Shimin think about it himself.

"Well, the scholars, um, among the poor children, they still respect you, can you invite them to sit down?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I, father, don't be joking. They respect me, but I'm not a scholar!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin in shock and said.

"Why are you not a scholar? Officials in the world, who don't know that you are good at arithmetic and objects. They all say that you are a master of arithmetic and objects. You also make paper and books. Of course those scholars admire you! You boy , Don’t you know this at all? Or are you evading it on purpose?” Li Shimin immediately stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, you think highly of me. It's really useless. If it was useful, why didn't they stand up when King Wu framed me? It's just talk, it's useless. People who can’t write well with a calligraphy brush, you expect them to respect me, are you kidding, Father, are you going to make me embarrass me? It’s not such a trick to cheat people, right?” Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin depressed and said .

"Father, why did you cheat on you? Really, just try it!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao helplessly and said.
