Chapter 206: A dilemma
Chapter 206
Wei Ting was very anxious at the moment, thinking about asking the officials of those families to help, but none of the officials of those families stood up.
However, what made Wei Ting even more strange was that Wei Hao's father-in-law, Li Jing, did not stand up to help Wei Hao speak, which made Wei Ting very anxious.
"Well, Wei Ting, this matter is not a trivial matter, Wei Hao has beaten people many times, if you don't give him a warning, I'm afraid I won't know who to beat next time! And your clansman, Wei Cong, was also beaten by him! Sun Fujia stood there and said to Wei Ting.
"But it's too serious, the minister thinks it's better to fine!" Wei Ting said and said to Li Shimin.
"The minister also thinks that this is the best, and the fine will be fined!" At this time, Li Jing also arched his hand and said.
When Li Shimin heard it, he sat on it and thought about it, the reason why those lords didn't speak was because Li Shimin greeted them in advance and asked them not to help Wei Hao speak.
But Li Jing can't help but say it, if you don't say it, everyone will suspect it, but the officials of the family still look at this matter with the mentality of watching the excitement, which makes Wei Ting very annoyed.
The children of the Wei family, who can stand here, are themselves and Wei Hao, and Wei Hao is still in the cell.
Then those officials from the poor family and the small family asked Li Shimin to demote him again, but Li Shimin heard it, but he didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, you can't be so indulgent with Wei Hao, it's not the first time Wei Hao has beaten someone!" Ma Zhou also said to Li Shimin.
"I know, okay, this matter is over, I'll think it through!" Li Shimin said to Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou also understood Li Shimin's hint and immediately stopped talking.
"The Ministry of Civil Affairs must hurry up and calculate the accounts! Otherwise, I will let Wei Hao make up for it at that time! Li Shimin sat there, looked at the ministers and said.
At this time, the officials of the family panicked, what will make up for the merits, do they still want Wei Hao to come over to check the accounts?
"Your Majesty, let Wei Hao make up for his mistakes, but do you want him to settle the account?" An official of the family said to Li Shimin.
"Hmm. is to punish this kid to settle accounts, since he beat your people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then you have to help the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do something, otherwise, you will cut the title! Li Shimin sat there, nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, this is not right, is it? Wei Hao is not from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so wouldn't letting him settle accounts add chaos to our Ministry of Civil Affairs? Dai Xuan immediately arched his hand and said,
In fact, for Wei Hao to settle accounts with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he himself was arbitrary, anyway, the money did not flow into his pocket, since the reason why he said this, it was because of his own Ministry of Civil Affairs, if he didn't say it, how would he lead the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future?
"Well, it's okay, he can't understand those things, but he can settle the accounts, and then it's a matter of numbers, it's okay! I'm also thinking about whether to cut the knight or let him make up for it! Li Shimin sat there and spoke.
"Your Majesty, please cut the lord, after all, Wei Hao beat the court officials, but he needs to be punished!" Immediately, an official of the family stood up and said.
"Okay, this matter has just been discussed, I said, don't discuss this matter!" Li Shimin sat there and waved his hand and said,
Those family officials looked at Li Shimin dumbfounded, and Wei Ting stared at them fiercely, scolding a bunch of fools in his heart, if he had just refuted those officials from the poor family and the small family, then Wei Hao's charges would not be established, how could he make up for it? Where did it come from?
even said that if they were ruthless, they could ask His Majesty to release Wei Hao, because Wei Hao beat two corrupt officials, and they should be beaten, but now it's too late, Li Shimin's side has already qualified, that is, Wei Hao has had it, and this mistake needs to pay a price, either he is demoted, or he is settling accounts, which is equivalent to auditing.
"Okay, is there anything else?" Li Shimin looked at them and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister still hopes to be able to discuss Wei Hao's matter, Wei Hao's matter, he should be demoted!" Another official of the family spoke.
"Well, just write the cantata, don't discuss it!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said to them, and then asked about other things,
But who of those ministers of the family still has the heart to discuss other things, if Wei Hao is allowed to make up for it, it will be troublesome, but if he is demoted, will it anger Wei Hao, they have no confidence now.
After going down, Wei Ting was very angry, looking at those officials of the family, especially the officials of the family who had just given them a look, he snorted coldly and waved his sleeves fiercely.
The other family officials were also ashamed, they had a chance just now, but now they have no chance at all!
Soon, Wei Ting went to Wei Yuanzhao's mansion and told Wei Yuanzhao what happened in the previous dynasty, and then said angrily: "When Sun Fujia said this, I felt wrong, why did they attack Wei Hao, and then I found that none of those lords spoke, it was Li Jing who spoke alone, I knew that this matter was instructed by His Majesty to do this, I never thought that those people were stupid, I gave them a hint to let them help Wei Hao speak, they just had the mentality of watching the excitement, Well, no matter what we do, Wei Hao may go to check the accounts. ”
Wei Ting sat there, very angry.
"Well, it seems that Your Majesty is iron-hearted, but if Wei Hao doesn't agree, it will be easy to do!" Wei Yuanzhao sat there, touched his beard, and said with a frown.
"Don't say yes? Does he dare to agree? If you don't agree, you will be demoted, patriarch, can you promise to be demoted? After Wei Ting heard this, he stared at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.
"Hey, how did this thing get like this?" Wei Yuanzhao also discovered at this moment that he was now in a dilemma, forcing Wei Hao to check the accounts.
Demotion to the knighthood, even if Wei Hao can agree, he will not agree, just kidding, how could the first duke of the Wei family be demoted so quickly, and it has only been a few days since he was made a county duke!
"Patriarch, the only way now is to prevent His Majesty from surrendering to Wei Hao, now no one knows what His Majesty thinks, Your Majesty can completely demote Wei Hao, and then promote him back after a while, and even say that Wei Hao went down to check the accounts in anger, and His Majesty promoted him back again.
Hey, now I don't know if there is any other way, now to stop the demotion of the lord, I'm afraid it's difficult, let's go up to the chapter, it's useless, Your Majesty will definitely do this! Wei Ting's mind was very confused at the moment, and he didn't know what to do at all, no matter what they chose, Wei Hao was very likely to check the accounts.
"The old man went to talk to their person in charge and see if there was any way, what about you, also go to the palace and inquire about the news!" Wei Yuanzhao didn't know what to do.
Then Wei Yuanzhao sent someone to invite the heads of those families to come over and think about it.
After they arrived, Wei Yuanzhao looked at them: "Today's morning dynasty, why didn't your people assist Wei Ting to speak for Wei Hao?" Well? I want to see the excitement, to see the excitement of my Wei family, now it's okay, the family has entered a dilemma, what should I do?
Let's talk about it, I have already persuaded Wei Furong and asked him to persuade Wei Hao, but now it is estimated that he can't persuade him, demote the knighthood, Wei Hao can agree, and then Wei Hao can only choose to make up for it! But this will make up for it, and then the harm will be everyone's interests. Wei Yuanzhao looked at them angrily and asked.
"This happened too suddenly, we didn't expect that His Majesty would demote Wei Hao, after all, Wei Hao is his favorite son-in-law, and he is very favored!" Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Yuanzhao with a wry smile at the moment and said.
"I didn't expect it! Didn't you think of it? His Majesty wants to demote Wei Hao to a knighthood, is that not a matter of his words? However, now at this hurdle, do you think Wei Hao can easily agree to be demoted? After beating two officials blocking his way, he is going to be demoted? Well? Wei Yuan looked at them and continued to ask.
"This, Patriarch Wei, we just thought of this matter on the way here, and also discussed this matter, you see, we will compensate Wei Hao and let him be demoted, anyway, His Majesty trusts him, and it is estimated that he will be able to be promoted to the title soon!" Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.
"Do you think it's possible? Do you look down on Wei Hao? Give compensation, what compensation can you give Wei Hao, Wei Hao's family has so much money, tens of thousands of acres of land, what can you give them? Wei Yuanzhao sat there, staring at them and questioning.
"Patriarch Wei, do you think about it, now that things have happened, we have no choice but to do this, and now we can only do this, really let Wei Hao settle the account, can this be calculated?" Wang Chen immediately looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.
"The question is, if this is yours and let you be demoted, will you agree? How can this be as easy as you say? He beat two corrupt officials, and two officials who blocked the duke's road were about to be demoted, and when you sent someone to stop him, did you discuss it with me? When something happened, the old man knew! Wei Yuan looked at them and asked,
When they heard it, they didn't speak, and they didn't look at Wei Yuanzhao, but stared around.
"Get ready for Wei Hao to settle accounts!" Wei Yuan looked at them and said softly.
"What, that's not going to work!" When Cui Xiongkai heard it, he immediately stood up and spoke.
"No, do you dare to go against Your Majesty's wishes?" Wei Yuan looked at Cui Xiongkai and asked.
"This matter, as long as Wei Hao's side is solved, we will give Wei Hao benefits, let him drag on as much as possible for the matter of settling accounts, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is seizing the time to calculate this, as long as they calculate it, there is no need for Wei Hao to go." Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Yuanzhao and said,
Wei Yuan glanced at him, sneered and said, "Do you think that Your Majesty will give you this opportunity, Your Majesty has calculated this step, and you can still take advantage of such a loophole?" ”
When they heard this, they were also stunned for a moment, and then they seriously thought about it.
"Get ready, Wei Hao will have no choice at that time, if you fight to the death with those people this morning, and don't settle Wei Hao's pass, then there will be nothing, and His Majesty can only let Wei Hao out at that time, now it's okay, make up for it, this one, it's still arranged by you, really!" Wei Yuanzhao shook his head with a wry smile as he spoke, and things were getting more and more complicated by them.
"Patriarch Wei, this matter, you can't let Wei Hao go, at that time, every family will suffer a huge loss, this profit, but each family has tens of thousands of dollars, and those officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will also be implicated, and their family property will also be confiscated, Patriarch Wei, I mean, it's really not good, you go and persuade Wei Hao, agree to demote, and we can discuss the rest of the matter!" Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Yuanzhao a little anxiously at the moment and said, hoping that Wei Yuanzhao could persuade Wei Hao.
"Do you think it's possible?" Wei Yuanzhao shouted at Cui Xiongkai very angrily, and he was also very annoyed in his heart, Wei Hao is a son of the Wei family, a county prince, how could he be demoted so easily.
"Whether it's possible or not, ask Patriarch Wei to talk to Wei Hao!" Wang Chen also said to Wei Yuanzhao at this moment,
Wei Yuanzhao just stared at them coldly, what is this called? Let yourself go to the children of your own family to say such a thing, then how can you be the patriarch of yourself in the future, and Wei Hao will take care of yourself in the future? When the time comes, when he sees that he doesn't use the sole of his shoe to hit himself, he is not Wei Hao.
"If you want to go, you go by yourself, the old man won't go!" Wei Yuanzhao snorted coldly and said, I really don't want to get angry with them, things have come to this point, it can be said that they didn't discuss it at all, and they were exploited by Li Shimin, and now Li Shimin has no intentions, they still want to turn the tables?
"Okay, since Patriarch Wei is not going, then we will go!" Cui Xiongkai saw that this was not good, he had to talk to Wei Hao, Wei Yuanzhao couldn't go, so he had to go by himself.
"Okay, I won't send it!" Wei Yuanzhao sat there and said with a blushing face, those people stood up and said to Wei Yuanzhao,
After they left the Wei Mansion, the housekeeper came over and said to Wei Yuanzhao, "Master, they are all gone!" However, Wei Qiang is here! ”
"Bang!" Wei Yuan angrily picked up the cup on the table and threw it to the ground, angry!
"Patriarch? Then, Wei Qiang let him go back? When the butler saw this, he immediately spoke.
"Let him in!" Wei Yuanzhao closed his eyes and said very uncomfortably.
"Yes, come on, clean up!" The housekeeper shouted to the maid outside, and soon a maid came to clean up, and after a while, Wei Qiang came over and bowed to Wei Yuanzhao.
"Get ready, hide some money, we will keep your wife and children as much as possible, yourself, I'm afraid it's difficult!" Wei Yuanzhao sat there, looked at Wei Qiang and said.
"Ah, no, patriarch, you have to save me!" When Wei Qiang heard this, his face turned white, didn't he mean to give up on himself?
"Wei Hao checked the accounts, it is estimated that he can't stop it, after checking, you said yourself, do you have any problems? If there is a problem, can Your Majesty let you go? Think about it yourself, go back and hide the money and tell your lady! Wei Yuan looked at Wei Qiang and said.
"Can you go and talk to Wei Hao and ask him not to check, isn't this check your own people? How can anyone check their own people? Wei Qiang stood there and said to Wei Yuanzhao with a crying face.
"What's the use of talking to the old man? If you don't check, do you want Wei Hao to be demoted? Ten official positions like you can't compare to Wei Hao's level, you know? Wei Yuanzhao gritted his teeth and said to Wei Qiang.
"Patriarch, I, I have made a contribution to the family, and I have made a lot of purchases from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I have also entered the family shop as a possibility, now!" Wei Qiang looked at Wei Yuanzhao very sadly and said.
"The old man knows, the old man said, protect your wife and children as much as possible, and now your children are also older and can be in charge!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Qiang and said helplessly, how could he want to give up, isn't there no way?
Wei Hao, who was in the cell, started playing mahjong with them, but he brought a pair of mahjong to the cell!
At this time, a jailer came over and said to Wei Hao: "Lord Wei, someone is looking for you outside, saying that it is the person in charge of the family in the capital, you know them, I don't know if you can see them?" ”
"The person in charge of the family in the capital, what are they looking for me?" Wei Hao heard it, he was stunned for a moment, he was really not familiar with them, and the relationship was not good, he blew up the door of their house at the beginning, and now they came to find him, probably for the purpose of settling accounts.
Wei Hao thought about it for a while, it's okay, go and listen to what they think.
Wei Hao handed the card in his hand to a jailer next to him, and he went out, and when he got outside, the jailer led Wei Hao to a secret room, Cui Xiongkai and they were all sitting inside, Wei Hao walked in with a smile.
"I've seen Lord Wei, Lord Wei is in prison in a cell, and he is also personable!" Cui Xiongkai smiled and said to Wei Hao.
"Are you scolding me? I'm still personable in prison, and if you didn't arrange those people to stop me, I would still be able to be personable here, and I would have been handsome and chic outside! Wei Hao rolled his eyes at them and said.
"This, Master Wei, this matter is a misunderstanding, don't we also want to let you check the accounts? This time, please raise your noble hand! Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Hao and said.
"It's my business, don't come to me, it's useless to look for me, if my father wants me to check, it's useless for me to hide here, I can't say it, because of you, I don't listen to my father, it's me who will be cleaned up at that time, not you!" Wei Hao sat there and said with a sneer.
"Yes, if you agree, Lord Wei, we can negotiate the conditions!" Wang Chen immediately said to Wei Hao.
"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Wei Hao heard it and was interested, this is the right way to negotiate, since you want to talk, then come up with conditions.
"This, 2,000 yuan is good?" Cui Xiongkai looked at Wei Hao and asked carefully, Wei Hao heard it, and looked at Cui Xiongkai in a daze.
