Chapter 224

Wei Yuanzhao asked them to apologize, Cui Xian said, the left waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was handed over to the Wei family, Wei Yuanzhao thought about it for a while, and then said: "This left waiter is not up to us, Your Majesty will definitely pick someone personally, so it's useless to say this!" ”

The others heard it and thought about it.

"Then you say, how to compensate your Wei family?" Cui Xian looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

Now they also want to hear what Wei Yuanzhao means.

"We don't want the servants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but our Wei family needs two to give to the Shilang, that is, the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, two to the Shilang, when the time comes, let us be on top of the Wei family!" Wei Yuanzhao thought about it for a while, and then spoke.

After hearing this, they thought about it for a while and nodded, there is no way, the Wei family has to explain this matter, and they can only compensate, otherwise, the gains may outweigh the losses at that time.

"Okay, let's go find the eldest grandson Wuji and see if he agrees, but the benefits are estimated to be a lot!" Wei Yuan looked at them and said.

"Give him benefits, whether it is an official position or money, we can give him some, there is no way to do this, after all, only the eldest grandson Wuji can convince His Majesty, and at the same time he is also Wei Hao's brother-in-law, I think, how can Wei Hao also give a face, besides, this matter, the royal side also has to participate in it, what about him, or the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, he will say it, it will still work, so it is normal to convince him that he needs to pay a price!" Wang Hairuo nodded and spoke.

The most important thing now is to settle this matter.

Soon, they left Wei Yuanzhao's mansion, and Wei Yuanzhao and Du Ruqing also went out to visit the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion.

It wasn't until the afternoon that they came out of the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, and it was unknown what exactly they had done.

The next morning, those family owners went to visit Li Shimin, and Li Shimin agreed to let them come to visit, and at the same time sent someone to inform Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Li Daozong and others, and at the same time asked people to call Wei Hao.

"I'm going to the Temple of Manna? What are you going to do? Wei Hao saw the eunuch coming to report, was stunned for a moment, looked at the eunuch and asked.

"Lord Wei, Your Majesty beckoned you over, saying that those family members are going to visit Your Majesty, and the little ones don't know what the specific things are!" The eunuch smiled and said to Wei Hao.

"Don't go, you go and tell Your Majesty, just say that I'm not feeling well and it's not suitable to go out!" Wei Hao said to the eunuch.

"Huh?"

When the eunuch heard this, he was stunned for a moment, there are still people who dare not go, even if you are lying on the sickbed, you have to go, not to mention that you are sitting there now, writing things, and you don't look like you are sick.

"Eh, you just go back to life, I'm not going, I'm going to rest for the New Year, my father promised me, for a year, everything has nothing to do with me!" Wei Hao said to the eunuch.

"This, Lord Wei, do you want to think about it again, after all, it was summoned by His Majesty, and it may be a big deal!" The eunuch looked at Wei Hao and reminded again.

"If you don't go, if you don't go, you won't go!" Wei Hao said very resolutely.

I don't want to see Li Shimin, it's annoying to look at him, who knows what he thinks about it, to trap himself?

Soon the eunuch was gone, and when he arrived at the Manna Palace, everyone was there.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei said he couldn't come, he said he was unwell and didn't want to move!" The eunuch came to Li Shimin's side and arched his hand and said.

"What, unwell, what's wrong? Come on, let the imperial doctor go to Wei Hao's mansion and go for treatment! When Li Shimin heard it, he thought it was true, and he was about to pass on to the imperial doctor.

"Your Majesty. In fact... In fact, looking at the small one, there is nothing wrong with him, he said Your Majesty, you promised him, and all the things in a year have nothing to do with him! The eunuch immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Ugh!" When Li Shimin heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "This rabbit cub, I have something to do with him, Dejian, you go and call Wei Hao to come over immediately, if you don't come, you will find a way to drag him over!" ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, but I can't beat him!" Li Dejian looked at Li Shimin in surprise and said, thinking to himself, why did you bring me in when you two Weng and son-in-law had a conflict?

"If you are told to go, you can go and figure it out yourself!" Li Shimin stared at him and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Dejian was helpless, so he could only give it up.

"Wei Hao doesn't come, let's not talk about this matter, after all, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Hao, he is just settling accounts, I didn't expect that you actually arranged someone to assassinate him, so now it can't be said that it has nothing to do with him." Li Shimin sat there and said to those family heads.

When those family heads heard it, they had a headache, and now it is already difficult to deal with Li Shimin, and there is another Wei Hao, a more unreasonable character, it is conceivable that if Wei Hao comes over, I don't know how troublesome it will be.

"Your Majesty, if Wei Hao doesn't come, won't you talk about it? In this case, isn't it a bit too late? Besides, Wei Hao's affairs can be discussed together when he comes, and the key now is that those things in the court need to be sorted out! The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin at this moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will also talk about Wei Hao's affairs, but now we have to sort out the clues first, and Wei Hao's affairs will be discussed in the future!" Du Ruqing also immediately echoed and said.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, it's okay to talk, if Wei Hao doesn't come, then it's delayed!" Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to delay this matter.

Wei Hao may not come, now Wei Hao is not afraid of Li Shimin, this kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, Li Shimin has offended him now, he and Li Shimin are angry, how can they be so quickly dissipated.

"Well, Your Majesty, the minister also agrees, but he just said that Wei Hao's matter may affect the handling of the following matters, and it is okay to sort it out, but the result still needs to be discussed by Wei Hao!" Li Jing thought about it for a moment and said.

"That's right, the result still needs Wei Hao to come over." Fang Xuanling also nodded and said.

"Okay, then let's talk about it, your courage is really big, you get millions of dollars from the Ministry of Civil Affairs a year, this money is the tax of the court, and you still collect the tax of the court?" Li Shimin heard it, nodded, looked at those people and asked.

Those people immediately bowed their heads when they heard this, and then Cui Xian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the people below are not sensible, and they are getting bolder and bolder, we don't know about this matter, and they also think that this is a customary rule, so they have been doing it, and they don't know that this is illegal!" ”

"It's customary, okay, it's conceivable, in the past ten years since the Tang Dynasty was established, how much money you have taken from me, you need to give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise, those officials involved will be confiscated if they should be confiscated, and they will be confiscated if they should be fined!" Li Shimin sneered and said.

Then he looked at them: "Don't think that without your family, the court really can't function, I will endure hardships for a few years at most, let the lords recommend their children from the mansion and put them in the locality, and from the locality, promote the children of the poor family and the children of the small family to come up, and supplement the officials of the court, so that in a few years, the court can operate normally!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, all the heads of the family looked at Li Shimin in shock.

This is what they didn't expect, Li Shimin actually had the idea of killing all their family, this is a bit scary, Li Shimin never dared to talk to them like this before.

"Moreover, I believe that once I want you to completely liquidate the situation of your family, the people will also applaud, some young children of your family, they have not yet entered the court as officials or have just entered the court as officials, I believe that they are still willing to continue to stay in the court, so you don't have to use this to force me, since I dare to investigate, I am not afraid that the children of your family will hang up and leave!" Li Shimin continued to speak to them.

They are still digesting the news at the moment, does Li Shimin want to kill them completely?

"Your Majesty, we just said this matter, it is the nonsense of the people below, we didn't know before, we have also learned about it in the past two days, it is indeed an unforgivable crime, we admit punishment and admit guilt, but please Your Majesty raise your noble hand and let them go, after all, many things, those officials who take the money don't know what's going on, they think it's like this. Please also Your Majesty to be clear! Cui Xian continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in this matter, we admit our mistakes and admit punishment, but please also ask Your Majesty to raise your noble hand!" Wang Hairuo and they also arched their hands and said.

Li Shimin looked at them in surprise, he confessed so quickly, he thought that he still needed to fight, but he didn't expect them to admit their mistakes.

"Well, since you admit your mistake, let's talk about how to punish it, one is money, and the other is the punishment of those officials. This still has to wait for Wei Hao to come over, by the way, there is also the assassination of Wei Hao, I don't plan to let this go, you don't have to talk about this here, a few of them will die, as for their relatives, I also have to investigate how deep they are involved in this corruption incident, if the situation is serious, then the whole door will be beheaded! Li Shimin sat there, watched them and spoke.

"What!" Cui Xian is dumbfounded at the moment, Cui Xiongkai is his second son, if his second son's house is full of beheadings, wouldn't it be his own life?

"Your Majesty, please raise your hand, they know that they are wrong, after all, they are still young and do things impulsively! We are willing to admit the punishment, and even say that it is okay for them to go to hard labor, and ask Your Majesty to spare their lives! Cui Xian immediately said.

The same is true for other people, but Du Ruqing and Wei Yuanzhao don't care about such a thing, no one in their family has ever been involved, and such a thing has nothing to do with them.

"It's useless to beg me, I need to give Wei Hao an explanation for this matter, Wei Hao is doing things for the court, you assassinate him, you are despising me, it is impossible for me not to deal with it ruthlessly, so this matter, don't discuss it, in the afternoon, they will be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, this matter, I just say hello to you!" Li Shimin sat there, looked at them and said lightly.

He had to give Wei Hao an explanation for this matter.

"Then Your Majesty, can we go and ask Wei Hao for it? As long as Wei Hao doesn't pursue it, can he let them out? Cui Xian looked at Li Shimin anxiously and asked.

"No, even if Wei Hao forgives them, it is a capital crime that can be avoided and a living crime cannot be escaped, they should be exiled and exiled, and they should be imprisoned!" Li Shimin said very resolutely.

However, he also told them that Wei Hao forgave them and did not have to die.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui Xian was very helpless to give up his hand to Li Shimin.

"So I just said that if Wei Hao doesn't come, there are many things that can't be discussed!" Li Shimin looked at them and said.

When they heard it, they lowered their heads, and then Li Shimin didn't talk about it anymore, but talked about other things, the current situation in Datang, and the hardships of the people.

On Wei Hao's side, Li Dejian dragged Wei Hao to the gate of the palace.

"Uncle, what do you mean by dragging me if I can't come?" Wei Hao got out of the carriage and said helplessly to Li Dejian.

"I said brother-in-law, I can't help it, if I don't pull you over, Your Majesty will punish me, are you embarrassed to watch my eldest brother being cleaned up by Your Majesty? Okay, just do my uncle a favor, let's go! Li Dejian pulled Wei Hao and said, and then went straight to the palace.

After arriving at the Ganlu Palace, Wang De saw him coming, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been waiting for you, hurry up and go in!" ”

"Okay, thank you!" Li Dejian pulled Wei Hao in, but Wei Hao was reluctant anyway.

When he arrived at the study of Ganlu Palace, Li Dejian gave Li Shimin a reply: "Back to Your Majesty, Wei Hao is here!" ”

"Well, okay, by the way, Dejian, it's your boy's first birthday in a few days, right?" Li Shimin looked at Li Dejian and asked.

"Your Majesty Xie remembers, yes!" Li Dejian immediately smiled and said.

"Well, in this way, you will go back in the afternoon, you will not be on duty before the New Year, I will give you a holiday, in addition, I asked the queen to prepare a gift, and I will send it to you when the time comes!" Li Shimin said to Li Dejian with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Dejian and Li Jing both stood up and arched their hands.

"Well, sit down, hey, stinky boy! Don't know where to sit? Li Shimin saw Wei Hao standing there without moving, and immediately shouted at Wei Hao unhappily.

Wei Hao rolled his eyes and found a corner to sit down.

"You, sit down in front!" Li Shimin was helpless when he saw Wei Hao like this, Li Chengqian, who was sitting there, laughed, and he also found that his father seemed to have nothing to do with Wei Hao.

"Father, it's good that I'm here, you don't have to say anything, I've said it, as long as I finish settling the accounts, I don't have to worry about things, it's only been a few days!"

Wei Hao had no choice but to sit in front.

And the heads of the family all looked at Wei Hao in shock, Wei Hao actually dared to talk to Li Shimin like this, this is simply a father and son, even father and son don't dare to say this, Li Chengqian doesn't dare to talk to Li Shimin like this.

"Isn't that something? Sit down, eat at the Lizheng Hall at noon, your mother has said that she hasn't eaten in the Lizheng Hall for a long time, and she still complains about me, I will eat with them in the Ganlu Palace, you go to the Lizheng Palace! Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"That's okay, my queen mother called me to eat, then I will definitely go!" When Wei Hao heard this, he said happily.

When Li Shimin heard it, he glared at Wei Hao, thinking in his heart, where did he feel sorry for him, didn't he just cheat him, as for holding a grudge like this?

"That's... These patriarchs are here, if you have any opinions, you can also talk about them! Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"What's the matter with me?" Wei Hao sat there and said with an indifferent face.

"Their person in charge stabbed you, don't make this matter clear?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"What do you have to say, father, if you don't kill them, then I'll kill them, it's a big deal I don't want the title, dare to assassinate me, I can still let them go, isn't this a tiger returning to the mountain?" Wei Hao sat there and said very stubbornly.

"It's... Lord Wei, I apologize to you on behalf of my family Erlang for this matter, they are not sensible! Cui Xian immediately stood up and said to Wei Hao.

"Are they ignorant? The children are all in a bunch, and they are not sensible! I'm even more ignorant to say that, I haven't been crowned yet, well, I can kill you now! Wei Hao stood up as he spoke.

"Why are you going to stop him!" As soon as Li Shimin saw Wei Hao like this, he immediately shouted to those soldiers to stop Wei Hao.

"I took my saber, I knew I wouldn't be able to untie it!" Wei Hao shouted loudly.

Those soldiers rushed over and hugged Wei Hao, Wei Hao grabbed a spear, and with a bang, he flew in front of Cui Xian and landed at Cui Xian's feet.

Cui Xian's eyes were round at the moment, this kid actually killed people in front of Li Shimin with a spear, this is taboo.

"Bunny, you, you, the carpet of loss!" Li Shimin was angry, pointing at Wei Hao and shouting.

"Let me go, I'll kill them!" Wei Hao was still struggling there, and Li Dejian was holding Wei Hao to death.

"No, Wei Hao, we were wrong, we apologize!" Cui Xian is going to cry at the moment, and now this kid is not only going to kill his own son, but also to kill himself.

"Yes, yes, we apologize, don't be impulsive!" The other patriarchs also immediately persuaded them.

And Wei Yuanzhao stood there, not knowing what to say, for fear that if Wei Hao didn't give himself face, he wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

"Wei Hao, don't kill people here in me!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely.

When Wei Hao heard this, he also stopped, and then looked at Li Shimin.

"You want me to smell bloody? No blood is allowed here, or I will let you stay in the prison of the Criminal Department until the end of the New Year! Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and warned.

"Cheng, anyway, my knife is outside, let's go outside to fight, you call people casually, I'm just alone, damn, and I don't know why I want you to tell it? If it's not you, Lao Tzu will settle accounts? It's thankless, and you have to be remembered, just wait for me, I don't nod, I see how you get out of Chang'an City! Wei Hao stood there and scolded at the patriarchs.

"This!" At this time, Wang Hairuo and the others found out that Wei Hao didn't just want to kill Cui Xian, but also killed his own people.
