The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2120 Showdown

However, Li Shimin's complexion became extremely bad at this time.

Di Renjie really poached people in front of his face.

This was also ordered by Li Yin.

Although Empress Changsun said it was fine.

However, he was always uncomfortable.

it's not like that.

But the current situation is special.

If it wasn't for Li Yin, Wei Zheng would have died long ago.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun whispered.

"If Wei Zheng dares to agree, then... the marriage of Princess Xincheng will be cancelled."

Li Shimin originally wanted the princess to marry Wei Zheng's son, but if Wei Zheng is still like this, then sorry, it is impossible for him to marry the princess to Wei Shubao, because it is impossible.

There is no benefit for myself.

But if Wei Zheng died, it might be possible.

But he didn't, and still wanted to throw himself into Li Yin's arms.

Therefore, Li Shimin is changeable.

This change is also normal.

It is probably the same for other people.

Even more ruthless, I won't comment much here.

Other officials seem to have heard Li Shimin's decision, so if they are the protagonists in this matter, it is the same.

There is only one master, and that is everyone's choice.

If there are two masters at the same time, it may bring some unnecessary troubles.

"Listen again and see how Wei Zheng chooses."

Li Shimin also said that he wanted to know what Wei Zheng was thinking, so he still listened outside.

As for the two people inside, they didn't know that Li Shimin was listening to their conversation outside at this moment.

Wei Zheng said: "Thank you sir for giving me a second life."

Di Renjie looked at Wei Zheng with a smile.

At this time, Wei Zheng knew that the choice was coming.

But he still said: "I have to talk to His Majesty about this, is it okay?"

Di Renjie is not in a hurry, Wei Zheng is a loyal person, if he agrees directly and then talks to Li Shimin, it will be bad.

I can't guarantee that when he is poached by others in the future, he will treat Li Yin like this.

So he is right.

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt satisfied and nodded.

Now he was satisfied.

This is not a trivial matter, so you have to discuss it with him instead of making your own decision.

If Wei Zheng really wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to keep him either.

We can't let Wei Zheng become an unkind and unrighteous person.

And Li Yin was his savior.

After hearing this, Li Shimin turned around.

Everyone quickly let go.

Li Shimin stood beside him, waiting for Di Renjie to come out.

He couldn't stand there all the time, and then wait until Di Renjie came out and see him eavesdropping, that would be a shame.

That's why he stood outside with everyone.

As for Di Renjie, he talked with Wei Zheng for about ten minutes.

At this time, Li Shimin wanted to see it again.

But the face made him have to stay outside and wait.

He can't go any further.

And about 2 minutes later, Di Renjie came out from inside.

His expression is relaxed, it can be seen that he talked well this time.

When he came out, he saw Li Shimin.

At the same time, he also knew why Li Shimin was here.

He must have known something.

This is Di Renjie, he knows a lot.

With just one glance, you can know what Li Shimin is doing here and whether he is eavesdropping.

Afterwards, he walked towards Li Shimin's place.

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

Di Renjie asked.

"How is Wei Zheng doing now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Wei Zheng is in good health now, the dangerous period has passed, His Majesty is going to take a look?"

"Yes, of course I want to see it."

"Then you go, Caomin still has a little more, so it's inconvenient to accompany me."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he left.

And Li Shimin went to the ward.

He walked into it, and the ministers behind him followed him into it.

As for Empress Changsun, she also followed him.

When the crowd appears.

Wei Zheng saw everyone and knew what was going on.

It's not going to be such a coincidence.

He probably knew what Li Shimin might have heard.

But he still said: "I greet Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen!"

Li Shimin hurried over to help Wei Zheng up.

"Wei Zheng, you don't need to be too polite, your illness is not cured yet, you need to rest well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Wei Zheng said quickly.

"Wei Zheng, how many years have you been with me?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked, is this guy trying to wake Wei Zheng up?

He did it on purpose, and when he gets along with Wei Zheng, I'm afraid there are only memories.

"Your Majesty, I have followed Your Majesty..."

Wei Zheng seemed to be thinking about how many years it has been.

"Fifty-eight years."

"Yeah, after so many years, I have made people sort out your achievements in recent years."

"Oh? Your Majesty?"

"You have presented fifty times of remonstrance to me, and submitted eleven pieces of memorials. In 16 years, you have remonstrated with "more than hundreds of thousands of words". The number of times is more than that of other ministers of mine. Although your words are fierce and your attitude is firm, It is unmatched by other ministers."

Wei Zheng was moved by Li Shimin's words.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin asked someone to tidy up these things.

Having said that, is Li Shimin planning to tell other ministers after his death?

It's really hard to tell.

But even that.

Wei Zheng was still a little moved.

"Your Majesty, I am getting old! I have no energy." Wei Zheng said.

Li Shimin seemed to realize that Wei Zheng was about to leave next.

After all, there is such an idiom circulating among officials, that is to tell the old man to return to his hometown.

If you say you are getting old, most of the time you will propose to leave.

So Li Shimin said: "Compared with me, you are not old."

Wei Zheng also didn't realize that Li Shimin would say that.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty has been through the ages, and my ministers are just duckweeds in front of your Majesty's eyes. It's like the clouds in the past."

This Wei Zheng can still speak.

"Wei Zheng, when you recover from illness, I still have a lot to do, and I will reward you greatly."

Li Shimin said again.

This obviously does not give Wei Zheng the opportunity to propose to leave him.

Li Shimin's heart is contradictory.

He knew that Wei Zheng was leaving, but in terms of words, he didn't want him to leave.

Everyone was puzzled by Wei Zheng.

Empress Changsun also seemed hesitant to speak.

So what can Wei Zheng do?
"Your Majesty, the minister's survival depends on the sixth prince. If it weren't for him, the minister would not be able to survive." Wei Zheng said again.

Yes, without Li Yin, the current Wei Zheng would have died long ago.

"I know!" Li Shimin's complexion turned bad instantly.

"Your Majesty, Di Renjie just talked to my minister."

"Oh? What did you say?"

"Sir, what you value is your talent. If you want me to help the Shengtang Group, I feel that this is not a bad idea, so I want to mention this matter to His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty can agree."

Wei Zheng said so.

Li Shimin was completely shocked.

what?
Wei Zheng still said it.

"Wei Zheng! You..."

Li Shimin wanted to say something.

The ministers kept silent.

Wei Zheng was really fierce, so he just said that.

Perhaps it was after his second life that he dared to say that.

Or maybe it was Li Shimin's words that gave him the confidence to say it.

Li Shimin was silent.

It seems that those who should come will come.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a long time. Di Renjie also said it just now, and what he said is very reasonable. As long as you are talented, you will contribute to the Tang Dynasty wherever you go, right? And after you go to the Shengtang Group, you will definitely use it. The Shengtang Group will build better, and will definitely reform some of the non-standard practices of the Shengtang Group."

Wei Zheng is a reformer, and letting him enter the Shengtang Group will definitely make his own changes for the changes of the Shengtang Group.

This is Wei Zheng, a different Wei Zheng.

"Besides, I'm old and I can't persuade you anymore. Datang has done everything well, so I don't need a minister anymore."

Wei Zheng said again, meaning that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Li Shimin would be less likely to listen.

Because Datang is getting stronger and stronger.

No need for his persuasion at all.

"Wei Zheng, what you said is reasonable, but I don't want to give up." Li Shimin revealed his true feelings.

He really didn't want to leave such a person.

There are many things Wei Zheng can help him with.

But thinking about it, it seems that there are not many.

Recently, Wei Zheng persuaded himself less and less.

It is estimated that he really can't be persuaded anymore, or that Datang no longer needs him anymore.

"Your Majesty, my first life was given by my parents, and my second life was given by the sixth prince. We must know how to repay our kindness, otherwise we are not as good as pigs and dogs. So Your Majesty, do you know? If you are a minister, what should you do?" Do?"

Li Shimin didn't know how to reply to these words.

Yes, if it is him, what should we do?
"Wei Zheng, have you made up your mind?"

Li Shimin asked further.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I will leave the court after I recover from my illness. I hope Your Majesty will give me permission!"

Wei Zheng said again.

"Okay, I'm sure!" Li Shimin said.

"Okay, you have a good rest, I have something to say to go!"

Li Shimin left without waiting for Wei Zheng to speak.

At this time, his heart became very complicated.

But what can we do now?

I also paid a lot for Wei Zheng.

This is true.

But what about Wei Zheng?
He was actually persuaded by Li Yin's people.

Di Renjie was originally a strong man, so it seemed reasonable for him to be able to repay Wei Zheng.

After Li Shimin left, Wei Zheng quickly saluted him.

After all, because of Wei Zheng's own illness, Li Shimin was not less worried.

Although Wei Zheng's actions would hurt Li Shimin, it was something he had to do.

At this moment, Li Shimin went to the palace a little angrily.

Empress Changsun followed.

Quickly said: "Your Majesty, you have set a good example!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt curious.

"What? Queen, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, judging from the matter between you and Wei Zheng, you care about some old ministers. It will make more ministers feel that Your Majesty loves his ministers like sons! This is a good thing, and it is a good thing for Datang. In this way, the ministers can work in politics with more peace of mind, because everyone will be sick, if one day they also get sick, they will be touched by His Majesty's favor, and we can also pass this matter , publicize it to the whole world, His Majesty's reputation will continue to rise."

When Empress Changsun said this, Li Shimin agreed.

Yes, it is like this.

Why didn't he think of it.

Even if Wei Zheng didn't continue to pay for the court, he did a good job this time.

"Okay, that's good, then report Wei Zheng's going to Shengtang Group."

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Empress Changsun didn't understand.

Why did Li Shimin do this.

Li Shimin didn't speak.

Perhaps it is to let the people of the world judge whether it is right or wrong for Wei Zheng to go to Shengtang Group in the new year.

This matter is very controversial, and I am afraid that there will be a quarrel among the people.

But in this kind of thing, Li Shimin's hope to stand on his side is very obvious.

"Let everyone in the world know that it's not that I don't love Wei Zheng, but that Wei Zheng wants to leave me!"

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin didn't reply and left directly.

At this point he was in a bad mood.

But doing so, he felt inexplicably refreshed.

Then, there will be a lot of public opinion.

Li Shimin may have gained more prestige as a result.

However, it is estimated that there will be two factions.

One faction supports Li Shimin.

The other side supported Wei Zheng.

Those who support Li Shimin, they say that Li Shimin is good, he has done the best of benevolence and righteousness.

For Wei Zheng's behavior, everyone may scold him or despise him.

The other faction that supports Wei Zheng is completely on Li Yin's side and on the Shengtang Group's side.

Wei Zheng is a talented person, and it is Datang's fortune to be able to work for Shengtang Group.

……

Di Renjie soon found out about Wei Zheng's desire to join Shengtang Group.

Di Renjie immediately called Li Yin.

"Sir, I live up to your expectations. Wei Zheng has agreed to join Shengtang Group."

When Li Yin heard it, he also felt happy.

"Di Renjie, you are doing well, when will he recover?"

Li Yin asked again.

"Maybe it will take ten more days. I heard them say, try to give him more time to recover. They also said that he needs to take medicine for this disease and can't stop, otherwise it will be more dangerous!"

"Indeed, this disease is very dangerous, and it is usually invisible, but when it develops, it comes very fiercely, and sometimes the treatment is not timely." Li Yin said.

He has researched on this disease.

Therefore, when he heard Li Lizhi talk about the disease, he knew that the disease was not curable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent so many professional doctors to treat him.

"Then how long can Wei Zheng live?" Di Renjie asked again.

"Ten years or 20 years."

Wei Zheng is not too young now, he is already in his sixties.

Twenty years, maybe ninety.

90 years old is a lot.

"In 20 years, do we still need to reserve personnel?" Di Renjie asked again.

Di Renjie is only in his early twenties, and he can live for five or sixty years.

The Shengtang Group has existed for a longer time.

Wei Zheng obviously didn't have enough time to live.

"Then it's up to you, to see how well the talents you cultivate, and see if you have better candidates after Wei Zheng."

"By the way, I heard that Wei Zheng will be younger after taking the medicine of eternal life, so it should be more than 20 years." Di Renjie said again
"If that's the case, all the better."

"More specifically, I will also train newcomers." Di Renjie also said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
