Chapter 427: Old Fox
Chapter 427
Empress Changsun was very annoyed, he didn't understand such behavior as Changsun Wuji, I don't know why Changsun Wuji would become such a person, Changsun Wuji was originally a very tolerant person, and he was also a talented person, but he was not so broad-minded, but he talked to him last time, and he also said that he would not target Wei Hao, this time he actually framed Wei Hao's father for smuggling pig iron, smuggling pig iron, that is a capital crime!
"Niangniang, the specific thing, the nephew doesn't know, but today my father saw that the mansion was bombed, and he was very angry, and he fainted without coming up in one breath!" The eldest grandson Chong opened his mouth and said, in fact, he didn't know what to say, the son didn't say anything about his father's mistakes, and his father's right or wrong, he was not qualified to comment.
"Tell your father, blowing up the mansion of the Duke of Qi is a trivial matter, don't live in the mansion of the Duke of Qi when the time comes, then it will be troublesome, Your Majesty will not be deceived, this matter will definitely be re-investigated, and the results will come out, once the results come out, how will your father explain to Your Majesty at that time?" Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Chong and said. "This, yes!" Eldest Sun Chong nodded and said.
"Your dad is confused, confused!" Empress Eldest Sun is still very angry, but she also doesn't want anything to happen to Eldest Sun Wuji, after all, this is her own brother, and he is a capable person, if he is a person who has nothing to do, he can completely ignore him, but he can't ignore Eldest Sun Wuji.
"Chong'er, you are sensible, your aunt has always had high expectations for you, you don't care about the conflict between your father and Wei Hao, should you be friends with Wei Hao, or be friends,
In the past two days, you go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, see Wei Hao, compensate Wei Hao for your father, let him see your face, don't worry about your father, if it blows up, it will be blown up, and you don't want to pursue it and take revenge, that's not okay, the reason why Shen Yong is angry this time is because your father framed his father, and by the way, he wants to step Shen Yong into the dirt! Can Shen Yong do it? Several times before, your father attacked Shen Yong, and Shen Yong endured it because of this palace, but this time, he couldn't continue to endure it, and if he continued to endure it, he would be a son of man in vain! Empress Changsun continued to look at Changsun Chong and said.
"Yes!" Eldest Sun Chong felt very bitter in his heart, he Wei Hao was a son of man in vain, what about himself, he was also the son of Eldest Sun Wuji, however, thinking that this time it was Eldest Sun Wuji who was wrong, he was also very helpless, and he also wanted to say that he rushed up and beat Wei Hao, after all, Wei Hao bullied his father, but the fault was his father, you didn't dare to smash it with your clenched fists. If you smash it, you will be the one who is not sensible, and when the time comes, it will be spread outside, the old ones are not sensible, and the young ones are not sensible!
"Child, my aunt knows that you are difficult, you are much stronger than your father in terms of personality, and my aunt is also very optimistic about you, in the future, I still need you to assist you more, you don't want to get involved in your father's affairs, in the future, your job arrangement, don't look for your father, find your aunt, do you hear, where do you want to go, what position, my aunt will arrange it for you!" Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Chong and said.
"Thank you, mother!" The eldest grandson Chong immediately arched his hand and said.
"Your father is unreliable, maybe he will cause some trouble for his aunt when the time comes, my aunt can only rely on you, my aunt doesn't want a hundred years later, when my aunt's coffin is raised, the eldest grandson's family will be gone!" Empress Eldest Sun said again,
When the eldest grandson heard this, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed to the eldest grandson queen, and said anxiously: "Auntie, what you said is serious, we are not good, let my aunt worry!" ”
"Eh, when I heard about your father in the morning, my aunt was sitting here stunned, I don't know what to do, and I don't know how Your Majesty will punish your father.
Now that many princes are coming of age one after another, they will threaten Gao Ming's position, why can't they bear it, Shen Yong, a person with an impatient personality, has endured your father several times, your father just can't bear it, in other things, your father is very enduring, why can't he do it here? Empress Changsun sat there and sighed, and Changsun Chong knelt there and didn't dare to speak.
"Get up, Chong'er, my aunt is pinning her hopes on you now, over there in the iron mill, don't go, you go to Chang'an County below Jingzhao Mansion to serve as the county commander, as Shen Yong's subordinate, learn how Shen Yong governs the place, the county order of Wannian County, it is estimated that it will be arranged by Shen Yong, after all, the people arranged by Shen Yong can completely implement Shen Yong's decrees, and the good situation of Wannian County cannot be ruined by unfamiliar people!" Empress Changsun sat there and said to Changsun Chong.
"Ah, yes, thank you Niangniang, it's just that my nephew has never governed a county, and of course the county order of Chang'an County will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers of the court when the time comes!" After Changsun Chong stood up, he immediately asked in surprise when he heard Empress Changsun say this.
"No one will be dissatisfied, but you also need to make achievements yourself, if there are no results, it will cause dissatisfaction among others, Chang'an County Commander Wei Yu did a good job, he also listened to Shen Yong's advice, only to be a good county commander, this time, it is estimated that he will go to a Zhongzhou to serve as a special driver, and the next step is to return to the sixth department of the court.
You need to be in Chang'an County for a few more years, learn more, there are a lot of court members here, how to deal with the problem, will make those officials dissatisfied, when to learn, when will it really be experienced, the county order is the most difficult to be, it is necessary for you to deal directly with the people, not only to do a good job of the errands done by the superiors, but also to ask the people to love you, which is difficult,
But Shen Yong did a very good job, in Wannian County, the people love Wei Hao very much, those people, because of Wei Hao, this year and beyond, can make a lot of money, and for the superiors, Shen Yong has established such a workshop in Wannian County, which directly increased the tax of the court, who will be dissatisfied, dissatisfaction is also because of private affairs, not because of official affairs, so you have to learn from Shen Yong, don't listen to your father, your father was blinded by that bit of hatred, confused! Empress Changsun sat there and reminded Changsun Chong to say.
"Yes, thank you, auntie!" The eldest grandson Chong immediately arched his hand and said.
"Okay, go back and tell your father, let him recover well, don't take revenge on Shen Yong, if he continues to target Shen Yong, my aunt will have no way to protect your father!" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong nodded.
"Someone's coming!" Empress Eldest Sun spoke.
"!" A eunuch came running from afar.
"Go to the inner library and pick up some high-grade ginseng and send them to the Qi State Mansion! Tell Qi Guogong to let him recuperate! Empress Changsun looked at the eunuch and said.
"Yes, sis!" The eunuch immediately bowed his hand, and then withdrew.
"You can go back too!" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Chong,
Eldest Sun Chong nodded, bowed his hand to Empress Eldest Sun, and then withdrew,
Not long after she went out, Li Lizhi rushed straight from the outside to the place where Empress Changsun was.
"Mother, mother!" Li Lizhi shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Empress Eldest Sun turned her head to look at Li Lizhen and said.
"Queen Mother, Shen Yong and his uncle had a conflict in the morning, and Shen Yong was imprisoned in the Criminal Department!" Li Lizhen stood there, looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said.
"Yes!" Empress Eldest Sun nodded slightly.
"What's going on with my uncle, how can I frame someone, Uncle Weber wouldn't do such a thing!" Li Li sat down angrily, looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said.
"Eh, let's wait for your father to deal with it, your uncle, now he is also confused, and the queen mother doesn't know what he thinks!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a sigh.
"Hmph, uncle is just cautious, just because of my matter, take revenge on Shen Yong, as if I don't know, he doesn't know how many times he has done it to Shen Yong!" Li Lizhen sat there and said angrily, Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Lizhen helplessly, knowing that she was a daughter, but she didn't like this uncle, but she had no way to persuade her.
And on the side of the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin sat there, sitting below the six Shangshu and the left and right servants, of course, Hou Junji did not come, originally Li Shimin was going to call him, no matter what, now the evidence on the surface has not pointed to Hou Junji, in order not to startle the snake, it must be called him, but he is not there.
"Tell me about today's matter, how should we deal with it?" Li Shimin sat there and asked.
"Your Majesty, in this matter, Qi Guogong is definitely a mistake in the investigation, Wei Furong will definitely not make such a mistake, absolutely not!" Dai Xuan immediately stood up at this moment and said.
"Huh?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, how could Dai Xuan help Wei Hao speak.
"Your Majesty, about the smuggling of pig iron, the minister has received some news, some people took advantage of the opportunity of pig iron to send to various state capitals, and directly bought all of them, but here is involved in the history of some state capitals, a Wei Furong is not so big to come,
In addition, the route to foreign countries is not something that Wei Furong can control, not to mention others, just talk about the checkpoints that enter the city, and those checkpoints that go out, a Wei Furong, even if he takes Wei Hao, will definitely not be able to do such a thing, this matter must be involved in the important members of the court, even the generals in the army! Dai Zhou stood up and said to Li Shimin.
"Oh?" When Li Shimin heard this, he found that the officials below had already discovered the clues.
"Your Majesty, the minister also learned the news recently, and originally wanted to investigate, but the iron mill belongs to the Ministry of Industry, so the minister has no right to investigate, thinking of finding an opportunity to remind Duan Shangshu!" Dai Xuan continued.
"This matter, I have arranged for someone to investigate, there is no news, because the officials of our Ministry of Industry brought the news from all over the country, the old man found out that something was wrong, an inferior government, the amount of iron used in a month exceeded 50,000 catties, which is completely abnormal, the key is that the people can't buy pig iron! Therefore, the old man believes that someone is buying those pig irons, and he has been sending people to investigate, but there is no news yet! Duan Lun also stood up immediately and said to Li Shimin.
"Well, Hyo-gong!" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaogong as he spoke.
"The minister is here!" Li Xiaogong immediately stood up.
"You, send someone to find out the news that their Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Civil Affairs know, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, no matter who is involved, it must be investigated to the end!" Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is already sending someone to investigate!" Li Xiaogong arched his hand and said.
"Okay, as for Wei Hao's matter, as well as Wei Furong's matter, then let everyone argue, if there is evidence, I will also arrest people!" Li Shimin continued to look at them and said.
"The minister thinks that there is a problem with the Duke of Qi and the result of the investigation, the minister thinks that it should not be that the investigation is in the wrong direction, but that the Duke of Qi is deliberately going in this direction, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate!" Li Jing stood up at this moment and said with his hand, Li Shimin heard it, so he looked at Li Jing.
"That's what the minister means, it's definitely not in the wrong direction, it's on purpose!" Fang Xuanling also stood up and said, Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "You go to the Mansion of Qi Guogong, ask Qi Guogong, and ask him, is it true that Wei Furong is involved in this matter, and has he withstood the test?" ”
"Yes!" Li Xiaogong immediately nodded yes.
"Okay, let's all go down, the results of the investigation will be sent to the Manna Hall at any time, and I will review it myself!" Li Shimin waved his hand at them and said, those ministers also stood up, bowed their hands to Li Shimin, and withdrew from the Ganlu Palace.
After they left, Li Shimin leaned on the dragon chair, rubbing his temples, of course he knew that Changsun Wuji was deliberate, and he also knew that Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji colluded, but he didn't know how to deal with the two of them, especially Changsun Wuji, he really didn't know how to deal with it, Hou Junji was easy to do,
But if the eldest grandson Wuji is dealt with, then it must be necessary to take care of the queen's reaction, and even say, but also to take care of the prince's side, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji has been working in the East Palace and has been teaching the prince, if he is dealt with ruthlessly, it will inevitably pass on a bad news to the outside world, that is, the prince's position is unstable, and now that many princes are about to become adults, they will give those princes the luxury that they shouldn't have, but something will happen!
Li Shimin needs to be balanced, let the court balance! Let the forces of all parties be balanced.
And in the house of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong also told the queen what the queen meant to the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji was not angry, and the eldest grandson was also standing there very angry, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Go out, all go out, Chong'er stays, everyone else goes out!" The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly became angry and said, the sons and subordinates in the room all went out, leaving the eldest grandson Chong alone.
"You listen to the queen, go to Wannian County to be the county order, this is the best, and you will not be affected by me!" The eldest grandson Wuji leaned there and said to the eldest grandson Chong.
"Yes, it's just, Dad, I really don't understand, why do you want to do this to Wei Hao?" Changsun Chong still looked at Changsun Wuji puzzled,
Eldest Sun Wuji did not answer Eldest Sun Chong's question, but asked Eldest Sun Chong: "You said, this time the old man is falsely accused, how will Your Majesty punish the old man?" ”
"Huh? Dad, you, really? Eldest Sun Chong looked at Eldest Sun Wuji in surprise.
"Don't care if it's true or not, the old man will ask you, how will Your Majesty punish you?" Eldest Sun Wuji looked at Eldest Sun Chong and asked.
"I don't know!" Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said.
"The old man just investigated wrongly, and framed Wei Hao, but the smuggling of pig iron has nothing to do with the old man, the old man didn't take a penny, Your Majesty, at most, the old man will be fined, and at the same time, some of the old man's positions will be cut, but the title, there is absolutely no problem, you don't have to worry!" The eldest grandson Wuji leaned there and said confidently.
"Dad, then what are you doing here?" Eldest Sun Chong looked at Eldest Sun Wuji and asked.
"Chong'er, your father has been cautious all his life, why is he so confused on Wei Hao's side? What's the picture? Figure a stable! Eldest Sun Wuji looked at Eldest Sun Chong, then smiled and said,
The eldest grandson Chong was stunned, and when the eldest grandson Wuji said this, he was even more confused.
"As an official, you have to think twice, think about danger, think about retreat, think about change, now, Your Majesty has brought Li Ke up, just to cut off part of the prince's power, and then hand it over to Li Ke, your father is the person next to the prince, as long as the old man is by the prince's side, you say, no matter how Your Majesty cuts it, he Li Ke will not be able to form a balance with the prince!" Eldest Sun Wuji leaned there and said.
"Huh?" Changsun Chong then looked at Changsun Chong puzzled.
"Your Majesty is still young, the prince is old, Your Majesty wants to make the prince toss, but the old man doesn't want to toss, this is called thinking about danger!
Besides, the prince doesn't want to see me now, there are a lot of people around him, I have to say that many of the people around the prince are talents, since the left and right are not pleased, the old man simply retreats, this is called thinking back! After retreating, the old man looked slowly, looking at the pattern of the court, anyway, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with the old man! The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and his eyes were full of pride.
"Then, Dad, what if, I said, the prince loses power and falls into a crisis?" Eldest Sun Chong thought about it for a moment and looked at Eldest Sun Wuji worriedly.
"Haha, this is a change of thinking, don't forget, your aunt has three sons, the prince is not good, and the green sparrow, the green finch is not good, and the slave, no matter who among the three of them goes up, I am their uncle,
When His Majesty reaches his old age, as long as the old man's health is better than his, then, His Majesty has to rely on the old man to support one of them, now, the old man doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, it is better to take this opportunity, come down first, and then come down to see the situation clearly! The eldest grandson Wuji leaned there and said confidently.
"But, Dad, you didn't think about Li Ke, the king of Shu, he also has a chance, and His Majesty appreciates him the most!" Eldest Sun Chong looked at Eldest Sun Wuji worriedly and asked.
"This is also a problem that the old man is worried about, although many nobles don't want him to go up, but as long as he can convince those nobles, these are not problems, the problem is, he fights with the prince, there will definitely be people who will be unlucky at that time, the old man doesn't want to be this unlucky person, let Wei Hao stand on it first, the old man is looking, when it is critical, the old man will make a move!" The eldest grandson Wuji sighed as he spoke, this is a variable, a variable that he can't control well.
