"So, Wang Aiqing is a clean official?"

Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji are very interested, as long as Li Mu is embarrassed and deflated, they will feel very happy. And this time it is also about Wang Jingze, although Li Shimin is dissatisfied with Wang Jingze's staring at Li Mu, he still attaches great importance to this person. In Wang Jingze's body, he saw the shadow of Wei Zheng's past. Be the way the imperial history should be, uphold the integrity, help the reason, not help the relatives, not afraid of power, dare to speak.

Is Wei Zheng now...... It's really too close to the Shandong Shi clan. Li Shimin has also been thinking about it for the past two days, this time Li Mu checked the Yushitai, whether Wang Jingze would fold in. He has learned about Wang Jingze's background, and he is also the son-in-law of the Shandong clan, if there is really some unclear money in the family, with Li Mu's character of retribution, he has lost face several times, and he will inevitably retaliate back.

I really didn't expect that Wang Jingze was really as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. The family only has such a little money, of course, it is still not as poor as Wei Zheng. But Wei Zheng's poverty was made by himself. His reward and reward for him are no less than those of his rank. It was he who had to help his relatives, let his relatives suck blood, and fell to the extent that he couldn't afford the medicine, and he deserved it.

Gao Gonggong replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you look at Wang Zhongcheng's current property, it is an ordinary imperial history, the level of diligence and thrift. Of course, this is also Wang Zhongcheng has no other hobbies, if he is like other colleagues, he ......" Gao Gonggong smiled and pointed out: "Then it's hard to say." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly said: "That's the case, there are a number of officials, but they have their own contacts in Pingsuli, or chanting poems against each other, or making friends and feasting, and there are also in the teaching workshop...... In this way, the cost is not counted. I heard that Wang Zhongcheng had little communication except for reading, so there was a surplus. ”

After a pause, Gonggong Gao said again: "Of course, most of those officials who like to socialize have other channels for money, and it is not bad." ”

Li Shimin understood, and sighed: "What a pure minister...... Yushitai needs such a person, and Wei Zheng was originally such a person, but he went astray, which is a pity......"

Li Shimin sighed and asked, "What about the other imperial histories?" ”

"Except for the Duke of Wei and Wang Zhongcheng, the other imperial histories are more or less all of them have money from unknown sources. The minimum is hundreds, and the most is 2,000. Zhuluhou was not polite, and all of them were confiscated. ”

"Two thousand!" Li Shimin said hatefully: "In the Qingshui Yamen of Yushitai, you can be greedy for ink for 2,000 times, which is really hateful!" Such a person can also be a royal history? ”

"Your Majesty, you are wrong." Gonggong Gao laughed and groaned, and said: "The old slave has been paying attention to this matter for His Majesty for the past two days, and I found that this Yushitai is not the Qingshui Yamen. A lot of imperial history is all extortion business. For example, if someone finds out about an official's crime, he will not say anything about it, but go to the person privately. If the money can be provided, the incriminating evidence will be destroyed. It is open three times a year, which is enough for communication and travel, which is far more convenient than other yamen. ”

Li Shimin was so angry that his chest was blocked, and he sighed: "This is my Yushitai!" It's ridiculous that I still expect them to supervise hundreds of officials...... Scold! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji comforted: "Your Majesty, what Duke Wei said that day was actually good. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and people have selfish desires. Li Mu once said that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. If this is true for businessmen and officials, Your Majesty does not need to be too concerned. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "This is all sophistry! Auxiliary, you said that everyone has selfish desires, so why don't people like Wei Zheng and Wang Jingze have such selfish desires? Why can Li Mu find a way to make money by himself, instead of greedy for ink from it? It can be seen that the root of it is human nature! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 100 civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, how many people are there in Wei Zheng?" How many people are there in Li Mu? Your Majesty wants to show his ambitions, how can he rely on Wei Zheng and Li Mu alone? ”

"You're ......!"

Li Shimin was suffocated, staring at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji accepted it calmly. This pair of brothers who grew up as childhood sweethearts finally fought invisibly for the first time.

Neither of them pointed out the conversation just now, but they both understood each other's intentions.

Li Shimin is reminding the eldest grandson Wuji not to be too favoritistic. And the eldest grandson Wuji is telling Li Shimin that everyone is like this, you are the emperor, and you can't change human nature.

After looking at each other for a long time, Li Shimin finally didn't have the heart to tear his face with this childhood friend. He looked at Gonggong Gao again, and changed the topic: "What's the matter with that Jinyi Guard, three hundred people, and dare to call it 'Wei'?" ”

Gonggong Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's interesting to talk about this." Didn't Zhuluhou ask you for a quota of 300 people, and he picked 500 people in the tunwei. It is intended to survive the fittest and leave three hundred people. The selection of people was smooth, but when they left the camp, the guards left behind their horses, armor, and weapons, and did not bring anything. Zhuluhou had to buy his own horses, make his own armor, and cast his own weapons......"

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No wonder he built another factory, it turned out that he had suffered a loss and wanted to make up for it." ”

Gonggong Gao was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, how can I make up for it?" Isn't it chasing the deer and making money? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You still don't know this kid, look at it, when his factory is built, you see the armor he makes, whether to give it away or sell it, if he doesn't get the money back, he won't take a break." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something, but he couldn't do it, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Gao Gonggong didn't understand at all, but he didn't care either, and continued: "...... Everything was prepared by himself, and Zhuluhou went to the military department again. Your Majesty knows that our Datang Dynasty is a government military system, and each soldier, or guard or government has its own command. The soldiers selected by the Zhulu Hou were all from the forbidden army guards. It stands to reason that it should also be under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army cantonment. The forbidden army guards were not unwanted, but Zhuluhou said that his soldiers were all armed at his own expense, and he could not be dispatched by the guards, and he had to make the final say. He called himself 'General Yunlong' and asked the Ministry of War to give him the title of 'Independent Regiment'. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "It's Li Mu's style, General Yunlong...... I really dare to say it, I am the general of Tiance, so he calls himself General Yunlong, hahaha......"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at it and felt sour in his heart, His Majesty is really used to Li Mu, isn't he angry?

Li Shimin asked again: "How does the Ministry of War reply?" ”

"The military department won't agree." Gonggong Gao smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a rule, the government soldiers are just to facilitate the command, but the deer marquis wants to be 'independent', how can this be done?" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Hou Junji is still measured. ”

"The Hou of Zhulu did not succeed, and he was very unhappy, claiming that the military department was unreasonable. His soldiers were all purchased by him, and the military department did not pay a penny, so why let his soldiers obey orders. Since the military department is not accommodating, he is 'independent' on his own. Didn't you allow him to make himself an official, and he used it as a basis? In addition to the twelve guards, there is a brocade guard, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. asked his brother Li Chongyi to be the "Commander of the Jinyi Guard" and made him a five-rank official. ”

"Five products!" Li Shimin frowned and said: "Didn't I only allow him to be an official of the sixth rank and below, why should he be awarded the fifth grade?" ”

"That's the case," Gao Gonggong explained, "It's actually six grades, and he claims that he has five grades, and he says that he pays for it himself." ”

"This ......" Li Shimin smiled bitterly, thought about it, and said: "That's it, five products are five products...... That Li Chongyi is now the righteous son of the king of Hejian County and my cousin, and it is not an exaggeration to seal the five grades. Gao Gan, wait for the Zhongshu Province and make up a holy decree. But these 300 people are called 'Wei', which is a bit exaggerated, why is it 'Jinyi Wei'? What does this say? ”

"Called 'Wei' just because Zhulu Hou felt that he had lost face, in the Tang Dynasty military system, the twelve guards were the largest, so he had to be called 'Wei', and he seemed to have face. As for Jinyiwei, Zhuluhou said that he had money and no place to spend it, and his wealth was unknown, such as Jinyi walking at night. He wants to make his soldiers crown the thirteen guards, even if they can't be the strongest, they are also the richest ......" Speaking of this, Gao Gonggong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen those 'brocade guards', all of them are wearing embroidered flying fish suits, which are comparable to seven-grade official uniforms, but the quality is better, and a set can't be made without three or five dollars!" ”

Li Shimin snorted: "I was crying poor the day before yesterday, and today I am so extravagant and wasteful, it seems that I really can't pity him!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was beside him, and he was still expecting further 'Longyan Fury', but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. scolded in my heart, Li Shimin, are you confused? Flying Fish Suit! Flying fish! "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains, flying fish pythons, and also has two horns. And the python is like a dragon, isn't this kind of clothing overstepping? You just let it go so easily, is it true as rumored that Li Mu is your illegitimate child?

Of course, this is impossible, and the eldest grandson Wuji is confused. Others don't know him, but they know very well that he and Li Shimin have never been separated for more than 20 years, and Li Shimin is not like Li Jiancheng, he is merciful everywhere, Li Mu can never be his illegitimate son.

Li Jiancheng is likely.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, he didn't know how he could have such an association. Li Jiancheng is likely...... Is this really possible? This possibility ...... Can there be?

The corners of Eldest Sun Wuji's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he suddenly found that he had found Li Mu's weakness. The seemingly unbreakable Holy Favor can only be destroyed with this move.

No one knows Li Shimin better than the eldest grandson Wuji.

No matter how good Li Mu is, how much he appreciates it. As long as Li Mu is the 'son of Jiancheng', he will definitely die.

Li Shimin would not allow the existence of a person who threatened his throne, let alone allow this person to be as outstanding as Li Mu.

So, the question now is how to make Li Mu a 'posthumous son'.

Intrigue?

The eldest grandson, Wuji, smiled confidently.
