Chapter 406

Hou Junji hoped that the eldest grandson Wuji would come forward and find the eldest grandson Chong, but the eldest grandson Wuji did not agree, he didn't want to pit his son, besides, he guessed that Hou Junji would definitely not have such a little profit, such a little profit, Hou Junji really looked down on it, and he couldn't take such a big risk.

"This can't be done, after the thing is done, you and I will open five or five, how about it?" Hou Junji saw that the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak, and immediately stretched out a hand and stretched it out, signaling it to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"This money, the old man can't look down on it, okay, you go directly to Chong'er for this matter, his affairs, the old man really can't do it, he has ignored the old man for a while, and the old man doesn't want to talk to him, this suggestion of yours, just give it up!" The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said to Hou Junji.

"This, eh, okay, then when will I go to the ironshop, but now that Wei Hao is over there, I won't go, the old man is not happy to see this son, he doesn't learn and has no skills, and he is so valued by His Majesty, and I don't know what he is capable of." Hou Junji sat there, a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to give the eldest grandson Wuji a look, so he could only mention Wei Hao.

"Then think about it yourself, as for Wei Hao's matter, you, it's better to fight with him less, now that His Majesty trusts him so much, you can't help it!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Hou Junji and said.

"There's no way now, but there will always be a chance, I don't believe it, he won't make mistakes, Brother Auxiliary, he robbed your daughter-in-law, although it is possible to have a problem with close relatives, but not all of this is a problem!"

"Okay, don't talk about it, who Your Majesty promises to give your daughter to, that's Your Majesty's decision, not something we can say!" Hou Junji just wanted to provoke the anger of the eldest grandson Wuji, who knew that the eldest grandson Wuji would not answer at all, and he would not let him say it, Hou Junji smiled, knowing that the eldest grandson Wuji must be angry in his heart, otherwise, he would not be so excited.

"Okay, then I won't bother, let's leave first?" Hou Junji stood up and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Okay, the old man won't send it, and his body is a little tired!" The eldest grandson Wuji stood up, nodded and said, and then Hou Junji left, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked the housekeeper to send Hou Junji out.

After Hou Junji left, the eldest grandson Wuji was even more irritable, Hou Junji was in the army, but there were cronies, once Hou Junji knew that he was investigating this matter, then he might be in danger, after all, he still knew a little about Hou Junji's character, he was not a person who sat still, nor was he a real pedantic loyalist.

"Eh, what did Your Majesty think about it, and actually let me investigate, isn't this putting my eldest grandson's family in danger?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't understand this, and he didn't know why it was himself, in fact, it was more appropriate for Li Jing and them to go, and being unwell was definitely an excuse, but Li Shimin didn't want him to go. And on the side of the palace, Li Shimin had just finished eating when Gonggong Hong came over.

"Your Majesty, this evening, Duke Lu Guo went to the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, and the two of them talked for almost two quarters of an hour in the secret room!" As he spoke, Gonggong Hong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin heard it, was stunned for a moment, then took the paper and unfolded it for a while, and then handed it to Gonggong Hong: "Burn it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When Father-in-law Hong heard it, he went out,

The next morning, Li Shimin asked Wang De to greet Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Jian, both of whom were military generals in the army, and Zhang Jian was also a fierce general in the Qin Palace, a brave and resourceful person. Li Shimin did not take them to the study, but led them to the side of the imperial garden, but they retreated, and finally they arrived at the pavilion on a small island.

Duan Zhixuan knew that Li Shimin must have something to explain when he brought him here, but Li Shimin didn't say it, and he couldn't ask himself.

"Let the two of you do one thing, Goguryeo has been a little nervous recently, the two of you, lead an army of 30,000 to the direction of Goguryeo, and the two of you will replace Liu Hongji and Zhang Shigui who are sitting in the northeast, they have been sitting in the northeast for five years, and they should also go back to Beijing to recuperate for a while!" Li Shimin sat down and said to the two of them.

"This, Your Majesty, Minister, Minister!" Duan Zhixuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Shimin say this, this time the general was changed, but it was not discussed by the court, and the military department did not know about it, so he suddenly transferred the two of them back, which made the two of them think.

"Say whatever you want, sit down and say, I know what you want to say, this matter, at present, I just tell you first, and then the military department will issue a document to let you two pass!" Li Shimin said to the two of them with a smile.

"Oh, Your Majesty is all right, Your Majesty, please rest assured, and categorically do not let Goguryeo take a step forward into our territory!" As soon as Duan Zhixuan heard Li Shimin say this, he was relieved a lot, and immediately said.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Zhang Jian also immediately said.

"Well, Zhang Jian, you are mainly training the navy in the Qingzhou area, and you can support the war in the direction of Goguryeo at any time, and the navy must be trained for me!" Li Shimin looked at Zhang Jian and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Jian immediately arched his hand and said.

"There is another thing for you to do, I recently received news that someone from me sold a large amount of pig iron to Goguryeo, you must find out this matter for me when you get there!" Li Shimin stared at the two of them and said.

"Huh?" When the two of them heard this, they were shocked, pig iron is a material controlled by the court, and it is strictly forbidden to sell it abroad.

"I'm shocked, I'm also shocked, this matter, you two must investigate secretly, this matter, you must not let the fourth person know, when you get over there, first of all, you are familiar with the troops, but the investigation must not be relaxed,

I want to know, who has the courage to ignore the laws of the country, the lives of soldiers, and sell pig iron to Goguryeo, which is definitely related to the generals in the army, if it is your generals, you can take it directly and escort it to Chang'an! Li Shimin said in a very stern tone,

The two of them were completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

"Remember?" Li Shimin saw that they were standing there a little distracted, and immediately asked.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately came back to their senses, and hurriedly arched their hands and said: "Your Majesty, this news is too shocking, minister, I really can't believe it!" ”

"I couldn't believe it at first, you remember, you must investigate secretly, if there is news, write an urgent report to me at any time, and hand it over to the real person in person, and you can't pass through the military department!" Li Shimin continued to explain to the two of them.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ministers understand!" The two of them said again, and then Li Shimin continued to explain the matter of this investigation, and only after explaining it was done, did he let them go back.

Two days later, the holy decree was issued, let the eldest grandson Wuji find the border on behalf of His Majesty, condolences to those soldiers guarding the border, let the Ministry of Civil Affairs prepare the condolences within three days, and set off three days later, of course, the eldest grandson Wuji can only accept the decree,

And Hou Junji chuckled in his heart at the moment, the eldest grandson Wuji went to patrol the border, and patrolling the border at this time made him a little vigilant. In the evening, Hou Junji went to Juxian Building for dinner, and a subordinate invited him to dinner, but the person who came with his subordinates was a middle-aged scholar.

"The two surrounding boxes are occupied by my people, Hou Shangshu can rest assured!" The middle-aged scholar said respectfully to Hou Junji.

"I called you this time, because the old man has a bad premonition, I'm afraid that this time the Duke of Qi patrols the border, it's not so simple!" Hou Junji nodded, looked at the scholar and said.

"This? I don't know why Hou Shangshu said this, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has not sent ministers to patrol the border, and besides, the tax revenue of the court has increased a lot in the past two years, and His Majesty wants to treat the soldiers on the front line well, which is normal, right?

Besides, it is normal to let Qi Guogong go to patrol the border this time, after all, His Majesty trusts Qi Guogong very much, this, there is nothing abnormal, right? The middle-aged scholar heard it, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Hou Junji and asked suspiciously.

A few days ago, the old man went to visit Qi Guogong, Qi Guogong mentioned that someone sold pig iron to other countries without permission, when the old man heard it, his heart was a sigh, how did he know about this matter please,

However, I didn't take it seriously later, after all, there will still be some news leaking out, but today, he went to patrol the border, and the old man felt that this matter was not simple! Hou Junji sat there, still insisting on his opinion.

"This!" When the scholar heard this, he didn't dare to say more, but for the sake of prudence, he still chose to believe Hou Junji.

"Hou Shangshu, if it is indeed not simple for the Duke of Qi to patrol the border this time, then how should this matter be handled? Now we are just speculating, not confirmed, and if it does, it will be easy to do! The scholar stared at Hou Junji and asked.

"Well, this is also what makes the old man embarrassed, it's not good to tell Qi Guo Gongming, if he didn't know about this matter in advance, then we took the initiative to say it, wouldn't it be asking for trouble, if he knew, let's say it, that's okay, so, the old man is also in a dilemma." Hou Junji sat there, shook his head, and said with a sigh.

"This, or, Hou Shangshu, you go and find out his tone, if you can find out, it's fine, if you can't find out, we'll find a way!" The scholar thought about it for a while, looked at Hou Junji and said, Hou Junji also nodded.

"However, he continues to investigate this matter, I believe it won't be so easy, we didn't go to the main pass, they are all very remote places, and they all walk at night and rest during the day, and we have also sent people to watch at the border gates, once there are living people, and they do come to inquire about this matter, we will kill them!" The general who invited Hou Junji to dinner immediately said to Hou Junji.

"How can this matter be as simple as you think, once Your Majesty wants to investigate, what is the use of your arrangements?" Hou Junji glared at the subordinate, then stood up, walked in the box with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to talk to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"This matter is not certain, Qi Guogong is going to investigate this matter, if you rush to ask, it is also risky, so..." The scholar sat there, looked at Hou Junji who was pacing there and said,

Hou Junji stopped talking, still thinking about this matter, after all, this matter still needs to be dealt with, if it is not handled well, it will be himself who will be in trouble.

After a while, Hou Junji looked at the scholar and said: "I still have to go to the Mansion of Qi Guogong, inquire clearly, my relationship with Qi Guogong is okay, see if I can ask some words, in addition, you also go back and ask your people, if Qi Guogong knows, if you want to hide this matter, you need to pay a price, this price is to take out your share and hand it over to Qi Guogong, so that we tie Qi Guogong together, it will be more beneficial for us, this matter, if they don't agree, Then everyone's dead! ”

"Yes, yes, if Qi Guogong can come together, it would be better, this share matter, you can rest assured, we are definitely willing to take it out!" When the scholar heard this, he immediately nodded and said.

"That's good, let's eat!" Hou Junji nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down in his seat, and the general went out to greet the waiter and let those people start preparing the meal.

After eating, Hou Junji and they went back, it's too late now, there is no way to visit the eldest grandson Wuji, they can only wait for tomorrow, before the eldest grandson Wuji leaves, we must figure it out.

And tonight, Wei Haoyou had just come back from the iron mill, and the stove over there had been ready, so Wei Hao returned to Chang'an. After arriving at the mansion, Wei Furong and the Wang family, as well as other concubines, were waiting for Wei Hao in the living room, and there was also a Lu Zishan.

"Dad, mother, aunts, I'm back! Hello cousin! Wei Hao came over with a smile and said.

"I learned that you came back, the meal you like to eat was prepared at home early, let's go, go to the dining room!" Wang took Wei Hao's hand and said. "There's nothing going on at home, is there?" Wei Hao turned his head to look at Wei Furong behind him and asked.

"If you don't cause trouble, what can you do at home?" Wei Furong glared at Wei Hao and said.

"Mother, my father doesn't welcome me back!" Wei Hao immediately said to Wang.

"Hmph, ignore your dad!" Wang snorted coldly and spoke.

"What's wrong, mother?" Wei Hao asked.

"Hmph, for the sake of disrespect for the elderly, and you still want to marry a concubine, you just drive out all of us, save your eyes, let me tell you, Wei Furong, don't even think about it!" Wang shouted unhappily at Wei Furong.

"Huh?" Wei Hao heard it and turned his head to look at Wei Furong in shock.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Furong glared at Wei Hao and shouted.

"No, Dad, that's not right for you, how old are you, don't you know how old you are?" Wei Hao immediately answered.

"Get out, Lao Tzu's affairs, can you take care of it?" Wei Furong scolded Wei Hao, Wei Hao heard it, yes, don't say it, anyway, his wife doesn't agree.

Soon, the family was sitting in the dining room, and the maids also came up with their meals. Lu Zishan sat there, not daring to speak.

"Mother, what's going on?" Wei Hao came to Wang's side and asked in a low voice!

"Your mother wronged me, I didn't want to marry a concubine, really!" Wei Furong scolded Wei Hao fiercely.

"Oh, mother, my dad said no!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Wang and said.

"Hmph, with those women every day, sooner or later you want to get it back!" Wang sat there and scolded.

"You, I, I just saw that they were pitiful and gave them some money, don't you spew blood, the old man is so old, so will he have such a mind? Where is the son? You want to lose the old man's face, don't you? Wei Furong said angrily, Wang heard it, and his face turned to the side.

"Mother, that's a misunderstanding, I still believe my father!" When Wei Hao saw this, he estimated that eighty percent of it was a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly said to the Wang family.

"Don't talk about it, eat, hum, when I was young, I didn't marry less, if I hadn't stopped me, I would have to add at least 10 rooms to the house!" Wang sat there and snorted coldly.

"Eat, eat, I'm hungry!" Wei Hao sat there shouting.

"Come, son. It's better to eat vegetables, it's better for me to know how to clean myself! Don't learn from your father! The Wang family continued to talk about Wei Furong there, and Wei Furong was just sitting there drinking, not wanting to deal with the Wang family.

After dinner, Wei Hao also sat in the living room, and the Wang family also went back, and Wei Furong, Lu Zishan and Wei Hao were left in the living room.

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, just look at the orphans and widows of other people, I will serve the leftovers of the restaurant to others to eat, anyway, those leftovers, who to eat is not to eat, isn't it, the beggar father also gives,

The older generations of those families have helped your father, if your father doesn't know, then forget it, since you know, if you don't help your father, your mother will misunderstand, I want to take a concubine into the door, and there are still sons at home, can I still get it back and help them raise their sons? Wei Furong sat there and explained to Wei Hao.

"Dad, I know, I believe in you, by the way, cousin, this result has also come out, what about you, Xiucai is not, what are you going to do next?" Wei Hao sat there and asked Lu Zishan.

"This, cousin, me, me!" Lu Zishan immediately stood up and said a little nervously, he was not afraid of Wei Furong, but he was afraid of Wei Hao, Wei Furong was his uncle, and if he made a mistake, the most he could do was to scold, but he couldn't handle the cousin in front of him.

"Say what you think! No need to spit out! Wei Hao sat there, looked at Lu Zishan and said.

"Son, he wants to see if he can recommend him to be a petty official, even if it's a nine-grade one!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao can be recommended to be an official.

"You, an official, Jiupin, what will you do?" When Wei Hao heard this, he stared at Lu Zishan unhappily and asked.

"Cousin, I, I inquired, there is still a shortage of pastoral supervisors here in Chang'an City, and I can take care of the grazing area!" Lu Zishan whispered to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao stared at him.
