Chapter 198: Wei Zheng came to Li Chengfeng to ask for money?
But not everyone is the eldest grandson Wuji.
After all, if Li Shimin can't solve it, he can still call his eighth prince Li Chengfeng to help.
Although Li Chengfeng is naughty, he can always help Li Shimin at critical moments.
This couldn't help but make Li Shimin feel very gratified.
Even if he hadn't shouted to retreat from the court, Li Chengfeng had his hands in his trouser pockets and staggered away, Li Shimin would not say that Li Chengfeng was no.
After all, that is Li Chengfeng's consistent style.
Li Shimin has long been used to it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, if you want to punish it, punish the old minister and Wuyi, and please don't punish the old minister's family!"
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll punish you and the eldest grandson Wuyi!"
After listening, the eldest grandson Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the emperor is talking about punishment, not beheading.
If the words come out, maybe the eldest grandson Wuyi will really die.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin said: "Come in and there is a great drought in the sky, and the people are struggling to make a living!" I will let Zhao Guogong make meritorious service to you! You took the eldest grandson Wuyi and the others to Anyun County at the foot of Chang'an City to give food and maintain people's livelihood! ”
"In addition, I will also fine you 100,000 gold as punishment! I hope that Zhao Guogong will make meritorious service for your crimes, and you will not take an example! ”
"Yes, old minister, thank you for the emperor's permission!"
After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji pulled the eldest grandson Wuyi and kowtowed three times to Li Shimin.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are meaningless.
First, this is the punishment sentenced by the emperor Li Shimin, as courtiers, they naturally dare not disobey.
Second, the eldest grandson family is under the royal Li family, the second largest family, and they can't afford to mess with it.
Third, Li Shimin's punishment to the eldest grandson Wuji is also very serious! fined 100,000 gold, and asked them to go to Anyun County to give food to the people, in this hot summer, it can be regarded as a happy job!
In the end, the contradiction between the eldest grandson family and the royal Li family finally came to an end.
……
Li Chengfeng returned to the Zhenwang Mansion, and Wei Zheng told Li Chengfeng about Li Shimin's punishment of the eldest grandson's family.
Li Chengfeng pretended to be indifferent, shook his shoulders, and said: "Prime Minister Wei Zheng, I don't have the right to punish Zhao Guogong, I just can't get used to the style of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuyi, so I will give my father the emperor to argue with the eldest grandson Wuyi!" ”
"I bullied my father, it's okay! But others bully, no! ”
"Uh, hehe, that's it!"
Wei Zheng nodded stinkily, with a flattering smile on his face.
I have to say that just now, Li Chengfeng and the eldest grandson Wuyi, in the rebuttal match above the court, really stunned Wei Zheng.
It can be said that this is a debate contest that has never been seen before or since.
In ancient times, there was Zhuge Liang's tongue and the battle group of Confucianism, and now there is Li Chengfeng, the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, who defeated the sophist ghost and the eldest grandson Wuyi.
Especially later, after Li Chengfeng said the lack of virtue that the eldest grandson Wuyi had done in those years, he almost scared the eldest grandson Wuyi stupidly.
Until now, the eldest grandson Wuyi is still sitting in the eldest grandson's mansion in a daze, and has not come back to his senses.
But Li Chengfeng was even more incredible, it turned out that he only went to fight against Changsun Wuyi just to maintain the dignity of his royal family.
In fact, he didn't give Li Shimin face at all?
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel ashamed, if this sentence was heard by Li Shimin, he would definitely not have a taste in his heart, right?
"Prime Minister Wei Zheng, you came to look for me in the Zhenwang Mansion, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Is it just to tell me about my father's punishment of the eldest grandson Wuji? ”
"Oh, it's not!" Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's the emperor, I have arranged a task for you to do!" ”
"What mission?" Li Chengfeng looked at Wei Zheng curiously.
Wei Zheng said: "The emperor has ordered, in the year of the drought in the Tang Dynasty, all civil and military officials must not be idle, those who have money will pay, and those who have no money will contribute, so the emperor wants you, the eighth prince, to contribute some money, uh, to help the people!" ”
"What? I knew that bad old man was so bad that he was still paying attention to my money? ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Chengfeng was immediately dissatisfied.
He knew that Li Shimin must be jealous that he was very rich.
After all, the last time he collected taxes, Li Chengfeng earned an iron mine and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Li Shimin thought to himself, the eighth prince had more than 100,000 gold in his hand, and it was useless to keep it, so it was better to let Li Chengfeng donate some money to help the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Because, all the Datang, the people who are plagued by the drought, are not Chang'an City.
There are also many cities such as Youzhou, Luoyang, and Xuanzhou, which are suffering from drought.
There were even many refugees from Youzhou City who migrated collectively and came to Chang'an City.
These are the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin can't watch them starve to death, or burn to death, right?
Therefore, Li Shimin plans to let all the civil and military officials, those who have money, contribute their strength.
More or less donate some money to help the people who have migrated from Youzhou City.
……
Wei Zheng looked at the unhappy look on Li Chengfeng's face, he smiled stupidly, and then said euphemistically: "Eighth prince, this is the emperor's order, everyone must contribute to the people of the Tang Dynasty, so, this is not the old minister who is embarrassing you!" So don't embarrass the minister, okay? ”
Wei Zheng knew that the Eighth Prince's tongue was very powerful.
If he hadn't borrowed the emperor's order, maybe the eighth prince would have blasted himself out of the town palace now.
But Li Chengfeng twisted his neck, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "Then my father said that the emperor said, how much money do I have to pay?" ”
"Well, that's what the emperor said at the time: It's useless to keep a lot of money for the eighth prince, Prime Minister Wei Zheng, you can take as much as you want!"
"Phew, that bad old man is jealous that I'm rich!"
Li Chengfeng scolded Li Shimin again.
Wei Zheng was embarrassed, but he could only laugh and persuade Li Chengfeng not to be angry.
Li Chengfeng continued: "Who said that it is useless for me to keep the money? In the year of the great drought, although the money was useless, it was much more useful in my hands than in the hands of the emperor! ”
"Uh, this ......" Wei Zheng was dumbfounded, but it was difficult to argue.
Li Chengfeng said: "Don't think I don't know, there is still a lot of money in the emperor's treasury?" He doesn't come out with his own money, but he still pays attention to my money? What a shameless guy! ”
"Shhhhh
"Being heard? Except for the people in the Zhenwang Mansion here, there is only Prime Minister Wei Zheng, you? Do you want to go to the whistleblower? Do you say I'm scolding my father? ”
"This, the old minister doesn't dare!"
