Chapter 20 The upright Wei Zheng answered fluently!
Imperial City, Royal Study Room.

Li Er was in the imperial study. Changsun Wuji had also changed his clothes. There were four people beside him: Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Li Jing.

These people are all Li Er's confidants. Just after they came back, Li Er had people call them over.

"See Your Majesty."

Several people bowed, and then stood aside with doubtful expressions, quietly observing the Holy Master's expression.

His Majesty has been acting strangely these past two days.

After returning from the day before yesterday, I heard that Li Junxian, who was driving the car, was also injured. It seemed that he was injured by a ferocious beast. Fortunately, Li Er and Changsun Wugou were fine.

According to common sense, Your Majesty should be stable for a few days.

However, when he went to court the next morning, Li Er proposed the idea of ​​building a road again. At that time, all the ministers in the court were confused and didn't know what was going on.

But forget it, it's just a matter of investing more manpower and material resources on the official road, and that road seems to be the only way for the Tibetan envoys to come to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, with the secret support of Changsun Wuji, the decision to build the road was passed on the spot.

After talking in the morning, Li Er took Zhang Sun Wuji and changed into casual clothes in a hurry, and didn't come back until evening.

At this moment, seeing that His Majesty's face was quite majestic, completely different from his usual relaxed look, several people were wondering what had happened.

However, there is one exception here.

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the memorials that have been submitted in the past two days have been piled up like a mountain. Please put aside your playful temper and focus on matters within the court."

Wei Zheng was a straight-tempered person, and he always spoke regardless of the situation. For a long time, he almost had a habit of wanting to find out something wrong with Li Er when he saw him.

Li Er's mind was not on government affairs these past two days. He left early and returned late every day. Naturally, he was discovered by Wei Zheng, who had been "watching".

"Ahem, I understand. I will give instructions on the memorial overnight, so don't say any more." Li Er coughed and said helplessly.

Wei Zheng, this old guy, doesn't have any evil intentions, but he is just a bit too tough.

Moreover, in the past two days, I had been worried about Xiao Sizi's affairs, so I really didn't review the memorials much.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng and thought to himself: You idiot, can't you see that His Majesty has something to explain? Why did you come up here?

However, Wei Zheng's brows furrowed after hearing His Majesty's words.

So perfunctory.

No, I must persuade His Majesty and focus on government affairs.

"Your Majesty, I know what I said is unpleasant, but I still hope that Your Majesty can put the government first and the people and the country first. In this way, you can become a wise king and be praised by thousands of people." "Now, the Tibetan delegation is about to come to the Tang Dynasty. , the repair work in Chang'an City has not been completed, I think we should focus on the capital's affairs, and the road construction can be put aside for the time being."

Wei Zheng said so.

Zhangsun Wuji was stunned.

What happened to this man today?
Why are you so uncomfortable?

Seeing Li Er's face suddenly darken, Changsun Wuji secretly thought something was wrong, and quickly said: "Master Yushi, your Majesty has not neglected the government affairs these past two days, and regarding the repair work of Chang'an City, even road construction It’s important, don’t worry.”

In terms of official positions, although there are slight differences between these people.

But in fact, once Wei Zheng spoke, the brothers stood aside and did not want to get involved at all.

But today was different. Changsun Wuji knew in his heart what His Majesty was going to say when he summoned several people.

However, is Wei Zheng's head toughness beyond what ordinary people can imagine?
"Mr. Zhao Guo, you are also responsible for this matter. Your Majesty ignores government affairs. As ministers, we should advise you, but you go out with your Majesty. Is this the duty that a minister should do?"

"As for road construction, the Tibetan delegation will arrive in Chang'an in three days. Can the road be repaired? Building roads now is a waste of manpower and material resources. It is better to put all our energy in Chang'an!"

Wei Zheng's face straightened and he said.

Changsun Wuji was startled. He never expected that Wei Zheng would even attack him today. He wanted to give this old guy a step down. Are you comfortable now?

Rolling his eyelids helplessly, Changsun Wuji stopped talking.

How about love!
When Fang Xuanling saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere, she quickly came out to do something. She changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty is so anxious for me to come here. Why are you so worried?"

Everyone else also looked at Li Er.

At this time, Li Er's face suddenly showed a smile, and he looked at Wei Zheng: "Master Yushi, you said that building roads consumes manpower and material resources, so why repair Chang'an City?"

Wei Zheng frowned and replied: "Of course it will make our capital city of the Tang Dynasty more magnificent, demonstrate the prestige of our country, and let Tibet and other Western Region forces worship it."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also nodded slightly, what they said was indeed correct.

Li Er also saw the reactions of these two people from the corner of his eyes, laughed in his heart, and asked: "Then the Tibetan envoys came to Tang Dynasty, how should we treat them?"

Wei Zheng didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Of course we treat each other with courtesy. Our Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it is far beyond the comparison of small countries like Tubo. Naturally, we must have the majesty of a big country."

"In addition, we must guard against such forces. We also need to use property to win over them and make them become my vassals of the Tang Dynasty..."
