Chapter 202

Li Lizhen had no choice but to go to Wei Hao, early the next morning, Li Lizhen arrived at Da'an Palace, Wei Hao had just finished practicing martial arts and taking a bath, and he saw Li Lizhen coming.

"So early? You're not cold, and besides, yesterday's events didn't affect you, right? I've heard that a lot of people have been arrested! After Wei Hao saw Li Liqing, he asked.

"No, there are a lot of people killed anyway, do you know, just those people interrogated yesterday were corrupted 50,000 yuan!" Li Lizhen said to Wei Hao.

"So much?" Wei Hao was also surprised, those eunuchs were too bold, and they dared to be corrupt?

"Well, however, my father asked me to come to you, and to persuade you to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts." Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said, without blinking her eyes, wanting to hear what Wei Hao had to say.

"Don't go, girl, you're stupid, what's the place in the Ministry of Civil Affairs? That's where Datang manages money, I don't know how much dirt is hidden in it, I'll settle the accounts, when something goes wrong, many people will lose their heads, they will hate me, I am not afraid of those eunuchs, but what kind of officials are the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs You know, they are all children of the family, girl, let's not be fooled! Wei Hao said to Li Liqing.

"Ah, yes!" Li Lizhen heard it at this moment, it is indeed that if Wei Hao goes to settle accounts, if something goes wrong at that time, those people will definitely hate Wei Hao very much, and they will retaliate against Wei Hao, this kind of is really thankless.

"You go and tell your father that he promised me that I will rest until the New Year, and I can't go back on my word!" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhen and said.

"Well, it's better not to go, I killed so many eunuchs yesterday, and now there is also Mr. Accounts in the court, just let them settle the accounts!" Li Lizhi nodded and agreed with Wei Hao's statement.

"Okay, have you eaten? Eating together? Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhen with a smile and said.

"I've already eaten it, okay, I'll go to my father's side!" Li Lizhen said with a smile, and soon, Li Lizhen left,

Wei Hao laughed and let himself settle the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what are you kidding, isn't this fatal?

On Li Shimin's side, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Hou Junji and other ministers were also sitting in Li Shimin's study, discussing the settlement of accounts in various departments this year.

"On the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am going to let Wei Hao calculate, Wei Hao, this kid is very good at settling accounts, the accounts of the internal treasury, after three days, I found a lot of problems, what happened in the palace yesterday, I think you also know!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke, and Dai Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was looking at Li Shimin at the moment.

"Let Wei Hao settle the score, will he?" Cheng Yanjin asked first.

"Of course it will, and it will be soon!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"This kid still has such a skill?" Cheng Yanjin was the first to disbelieve it.

"Your Majesty, is there a mistake?" Fang Xuanling also stared at Li Shimin.

"Really, he calculated the accounts of the inner guards, because of the accounts he calculated, he found out a lot of corrupt internal servants, and yesterday, the queen had already killed more than a dozen people!" Li Shimin sat there and said,

When those ministers heard this, they all looked at Li Shimin with wide eyes.

"Dai Guan, do you have any problems here?" Li Shimin looked at the Ministry of Civil Affairs and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, of course the minister hopes that Wei Hao can settle the accounts, which can also reduce our pressure, but the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are complicated, Lord Wei may not understand those, right?" Dai Zhou looked at Li Shimin and asked,

How does he want Wei Hao to settle accounts, more than ten of the servants died yesterday, if you come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs still doesn't know how many will die, wouldn't those officials below be crazy.

"You don't need to understand this, do you?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, are you going to check the accounts? If you want to check the accounts, the minister agreed to let Wei Hao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to audit, if you don't want to check the accounts, then let Wei Hao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I'm afraid it will cause panic! Fang Xuanling stood up at this moment, arched his hand to Li Shimin and said, and at the same time looked at Li Shimin, meaning very obviously, let Wei Hao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts, but think about it clearly, this is not a trivial matter.

"Huh?" When Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling say this, he immediately stared at him.

"Your Majesty, Wei Hao may settle the account, but on the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if you really want to settle it, then there must be something, will it be dealt with or not dealt with when the time comes?" Fang Xuanling continued to ask Li Shimin.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Your Majesty, it is your meaning that is more important, after all, whether the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to be rectified or not depends on Your Majesty's intentions." Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said.

"I'll forget it, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will calculate it itself first, and see if there is a problem!" Li Jing also looked at Fang Xuanling at this moment, and then said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin heard it and fell silent.

"Your Majesty, what the minister means, let Wei Hao go, there may be some dirt on the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it is still necessary to find out, after all, they have the money of the court to do things for the world, and it is not okay if the accounts are not clear." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up at this moment and arched his hand and said,

When Li Jing heard it, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and knew in his heart that his purpose was to hang Wei Hao up and let the people of the family attack Wei Hao, so he said: "This is a bad word, although there is dirt in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it is a bit unreasonable to let Wei Hao go, Wei Hao is not a person from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and even said that he has not been crowned yet, and the inner side is a royal matter, and the royal family can let Wei Hao go, but on the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in what capacity will Wei Hao go?" If you are not crowned, you can't participate in court politics! ”

"That's right, that's what the minister meant." Fang Xuanling also nodded and said.

"Hey, you are not troublesome, you just want to kill the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if you want to kill, let Wei Hao go, if you don't kill, you won't let Wei Hao go, but why should Wei Hao go, what is the matter with others?" Cheng Yanjin was sitting there at the moment, looking at them and saying, they heard it, and they also looked at Cheng Yanjin.

"If it's an old man, the old man won't go!" Cheng Yanjin immediately waved his hand and said.

"Well, in this way, it depends on my attitude, you are worried, if you settle the accounts and calculate the problem, there will be many officials who will lose their heads, right?" Li Shimin sat there and asked them, but the others didn't speak.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Isn't this an obvious thing?" Your Majesty, I'm afraid that they will do something, check, but Wei Hao may not go, this is a thankless job! ”

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle asks to see you!" At this moment, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, let her in!" Li Shimin immediately spoke,

Soon, Li Lizhi came in and saw that there were so many ministers there, and he felt that it was not very good to say it now, but Li Shimin asked at this moment: "What does Wei Hao mean?" ”

"He didn't go, he said that you promised him to let him rest until the New Year, you can't go back on your word!" Li Lizhen heard Li Shimin ask this, and she couldn't do it if she didn't say it.

"Not going? When did I promise him, he didn't complete the task I gave him! Li Shimin heard it and said to Li Liqing.

"Father, this is a matter for the two of you, and my daughter doesn't know about it!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin helplessly, what was the use of him telling himself.

"Well, okay, you go down first, and my father will talk to him personally." Li Shimin said to Li Liqing, Li Lizhen immediately gave up, and those ministers also saluted Li Liqing, and Li Lizhen returned the salute and left the Ganlu Palace.

"This kid is very smart!" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"He's lazy, I'm wondering, why is the queen looking for him to do things, saying that she can do it at any time, and I'm looking for him to do things, it's so difficult? What does this kid mean? Do you have an opinion about me? Li Shimin sat there and said to the ministers,

Those ministers also smiled bitterly when they heard it, how do they know this?

"Well, okay, I'm thinking about it!" Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and said,

Soon, those ministers left, leaving Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, I can't check it, I don't know how many people are going to lose their heads, it's not that the minister doesn't know those things in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is the case during the Wude period, the family is in control, if Your Majesty wants to check the accounts, it is equivalent to moving the interests of the family, but you have to think about it clearly." Fang Xuanling suggested to Li Shimin.

"You said you can't find out, so let them be corrupt like this?" Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"There is not much corruption, that is, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs procures materials, it may involve a large amount of benefits, if you want to investigate, it will definitely be able to find out, Your Majesty, if you let Wei Hao go, wouldn't it put Wei Hao in a dangerous situation?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Actually, if you want to say that the investigation is also investigated, after all, after the investigation, it is also the son of their family who is an official, but Wei Hao has offended too many people, and it is estimated that he will kill a lot, and even say that the businesses controlled by the family will also suffer losses, and they will settle the account on Wei Hao's head at that time!" Li Jing also sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said. Li Shimin stood up and thought about it with his hands behind his back.

"Xuan Ling, I will ask you, aside from Wei Hao's considerations, I will say that the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can you investigate, and what will be the consequences after the investigation?" Li Shimin stood still, stared at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"The consequence is that when the time comes, Your Majesty, you are in a dilemma, those people, whether to kill or not, whether to raid the house, the minister means to raise them first, as long as they are not excessive, and when the time is ripe, it is not too late to check!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said.

"What timing is needed?" Li Shimin looked at him and continued to ask.

"There are enough children of the poor family as officials!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said.

"How many years will it take, I don't know if I can wait until that day!" Li Shimin stood there and said a little angrily,

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing did not speak, but lowered their heads, now the court needs to consider the reaction of the family side everywhere, if it is dealt with ruthlessly, I am afraid that the family side will overreact,

If it is not dealt with, the people will not be satisfied, and there are some small families and children of the poor family will not be satisfied, and moreover, more than half of the money in the court, so to speak, flows to the family, except for those who are paid and asked to work by coolies, and even say that the money does not flow to the coolies, because the court still has conscription, and from time to time it will be levied.

And that money, still let the family earn, the family said that there is not much money in business, but each big family has a large number of people, those people, obviously more comfortable than the poor, poor people are still relatively few.

"Let Wei Hao go, Wei Hao may be afraid of offending so many people, he is also a child of the family, I can understand, but there are still things that need to be done!" Li Shimin sat down as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, if you want to do it, you have to consider the reaction of the family, it may not have been checked yet, there are many officials on the side of the family who have resigned and left, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has fallen into a paralyzed situation, and Your Majesty, if you want to transfer officials from other families to the past, they will not go, what will you do then?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and asked.

Li Shimin was silent, this was also something he was worried about, if the family really united, there was really no way.

"Your Majesty, let them do the math for themselves!" Li Jing also persuaded Li Shimin to say.

"Well, okay! Let them do the math first! Li Shimin sighed and had to surrender first,

And soon, there was news outside, His Majesty wanted Wei Hao to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check the accounts, some officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs heard it, and they were also stunned for a moment, and then learned that what happened in the Inner Palace yesterday was, many people were stunned!

"Wei Hao still has such a ability?" Cui Xiongkai, the person in charge of the Cui family in the capital, heard it and was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it's all rumored now, I just don't know if Your Majesty has made up his mind, if he does, there may be a bloody storm at that time!" An official of the Cui family looked at Cui Xiongkai and said.

"Well, no, if you really want to investigate, their Wei family also has someone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right? What else can Wei Hao do? Even if Wei Hao wants to do it, I guess, Wei Yuanzhao won't let him do it, right? Cui Xiongkai thought about it for a moment and spoke.

"It's not good to say now, Wei Hao does things, everyone has never guessed, it's better to be cautious, now Wei Hao is the county prince, young and high, deep Your Majesty, the trust of the queen and the emperor, ordinary way, want to scare him, but it's useless!" The official said to Cui Xiongkai again,

Cui Xiongkai nodded, thinking about it, they had suffered a loss on Wei Hao's side before, and each family lost 20,000 yuan to them, if Wei Hao was really ordered to check the accounts, it would be troublesome at that time.

"I'll go to Wei Yuanzhao's mansion and inquire about the situation." Cui Xiongkai couldn't sit still, he still didn't want this to happen,

And in Wei Yuanzhao's mansion, Wei Yuanzhao also had a headache, and Wei Qiang, who was in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was also standing in front of him at this moment.

"Patriarch, now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in a hurry, everyone is worried that Wei Hao will come to check the accounts, you have to talk to Wei Hao, don't come to check, if you want to check, several of us will be in trouble, and it will also involve the Wei family's business!" Wei Qiang stood in front of Wei Yuanzhao and said persuadingly.

"The old man knows that this kid has never come to the old man's house to sit, and the old man has invited him several times, well, this kid still doesn't approve of the family!" Wei Yuanzhao sat there and said worriedly, he also knew that this matter was very important.

"Patriarch, you still go to Wei Hao's mansion to talk to him in person, in case Wei Hao agrees, it will be troublesome." Wei Qiang stood there and suggested to Wei Yuanzhao.

"Okay, the old man is going to his house, I can't wait!" Wei Yuanzhao stood up as he spoke, and was just about to go out when someone came to report that Cui Xiongkai, the person in charge of the Cui family, had come over.

"You asked him to wait for the old man in the side hall, and said that the old man was going to Wei Hao's mansion!" Wei Yuanzhao said to the subordinate that he went out from the side door, and the side door went closer to Wei Hao's house!

And Wei Hao didn't know about these things at all, he was still playing cards with Li Yuan, at noon, Wei Hao had just finished eating, and a eunuch came to Wei Hao.

"Lord Wei, Your Majesty has something to do with you, please come over!" The eunuch said to Wei Hao.

"Now?" Wei Hao heard it and frowned.

"Yes, now!" The eunuch said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Okay, I guess there will be no good things!" Wei Hao thought about it for a while, opened his mouth and said, and soon, Wei Hao arrived at the Ganlu Hall and saw that the meal was set up in the study of the Ganlu Palace.

"Father, invite me to dinner?" Wei Hao stood at the door and asked Li Shimin.

"Well, accompany my father to dinner!" Li Shimin nodded.

"Father, when are you here, you can't order sincerely, you're done eating, you said to invite someone to dinner!" Wei Hao sat down as he spoke, picked up a chicken leg and gnawed it, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, didn't he say that he had finished eating?

"Father, eat, you're welcome!" Wei Hao also beckoned Li Shimin to eat.

"Well, haven't you finished eating?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm a half-old young man, I can continue to eat after eating and walking, you don't want to invite me to eat, do you?" Wei Hao said that, he stopped there with a chicken leg and looked at Li Shimin.

"What's the matter, by the way, ask you something, would you like to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked,

Wei Hao took the chicken legs, looked at the chicken legs, looked at Li Shimin, and then asked, "If I say I don't want to, won't you let me eat it?" ”

"Bunny, am I so stingy in your eyes?" Li Shimin shouted at Wei Hao angrily.

"Scare me, then I don't want to!" After Wei Hao finished speaking, he took the chicken leg and continued to nibble.

"Why? Afraid of offending people? Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm afraid of them, Father, but we said okay, I don't have any errands this year! I came to the palace because I needed to play cards with the old man and win some living expenses! Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Living expenses? Win? You, your family has more than 100,000 yuan, and you still win some living expenses? When Li Shimin heard this, he scolded Wei Hao angrily.

"Well, what's this, who is afraid of a lot of money? A penny is also money! Wei Hao said indifferently.

"What if I have to go with you?" Li Shimin immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked, staring tightly.
