Chapter 11: A Bloody Case Caused by a Reward
"Evidence, isn't Su Guogong's eight-hundred-mile expedited evidence? How important is salt to us in Datang now? Don't you know? Wei Zheng, in the face of great right and wrong, I hope you can let go of your scheming and nitpicking. Such meritorious people are not rewarded, and it is not easy to comfort the people! ”
Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, although he is not tall, has a good temper, and he never beats around the bush when he speaks.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Wei Chigong stood up and stood behind Du Ruhui, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Qin Qiong also followed and stood up.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Niu Jinda also fought in time.
In response to the old saying, a hero has three gangs.
Du Ruhui's argument is for the sake of the military, and it is also what he, the secretary of the military department, should do.
Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda are standing up now because of Lao Cheng, and their relationship is very deep, and they have far surpassed the brotherhood of comrades-in-arms.
Wei Chigong turned his head to look at Li Jing, which means that your old man has also come out to line up, and we are also a group.
Li Jing looked at the air intently, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty talked about military merits, and no one could bring Li Jing to lead troops to fight, but he had one problem, he never stood in line, of course, there was another problem, it was at home, and I would mention it later.
Wei Zheng saw Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda went out of the class to support Du Ruhui, not only did he not give in, but he became even more excited.
Why is he excited? Because His Majesty Li Er's eyes looked at him!
Why did His Majesty Li Er look at him?
Because every time at this time, His Majesty Li Er wants to be a melon-eating audience. Please start your show.
"Lord Shangshu, meritorious people should naturally be rewarded, like Tao Gongzi who solved the salt difficulty for Datang. So here's the problem? Where did he come from? Where does the method of salt production come from? What was the purpose of his offering of the method of salt making? The thin and shrewd Wei Zheng went straight to the point and said three whys in a row.
Wei Zhengzhi grasped these questions and did not let go, which was related to his recent twists and turns.
Wei Zheng emphasized the importance and harmfulness of the identity of the people of the Tang Dynasty in his recital to His Majesty Li Er.
For example, if the identity is not strictly verified, it will give the enemy army a chance to take advantage of it, which will endanger the foundation of Datang in the long run, disturb the hearts of the people of Datang, and so on.
Wei Zheng's recital was rigorous in theme and clear in thinking, and it was approved by His Majesty Li Er at that time, and a preliminary consensus had been reached at the cabinet meeting.
"Unreasonable, didn't Su Guogong already explain in the urgent report that Tao Gongzi is from the grassland, and the method of making salt was granted by the master, as for the purpose of sacrificing the method of making salt, it must be for the soldiers and people of the Tang Dynasty, is there anything else to dispute about this?"
Du Ruhui looked at Wei Zheng angrily with his eyes, if his eyes could kill people, our Wei officials would probably be wiped out by now.
The two sides engaged in a fierce war of words over this issue.
His Majesty Li Er continued to eat melons, and the other Aiqing also looked like they were watching a play, preparing peanuts, beer, and mineral water.
"Joke, you dare to believe Su Guogong's words, he is just a reckless man, in addition to fighting, he also has three axes to make, but have you ever offered a word and a strategy for the Tang Dynasty? What is Longyou Soldier He? Congratulations for the people of Longyou? Do you think Su Guogong, a reckless man who can't read a basket of big words, will say such demagogic words? Have you thought about it? If this Tao Gongzi is a spy sent by the enemy, how much harm will it bring to my Datang after we reward him with a heavy reward? As for those demagogic words, it must be which Tao Gongzi boasted about himself. It's just mentally retarded and ridiculous. ”
Wei Zheng's remarks completely detonated the heat above the court.
He ignored an important question, and there might not be any problem with saying such things to others in private, but there were three people in the court who were already glaring angrily.
Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong took three steps and two steps, and one of them twisted Wei Zheng's arm and pushed Wei Zheng to the ground.
"His grandmother's, I'll let you talk nonsense again, I'll let you talk nonsense again."
No one can stop Lao Niu's bull temper, and Wei Zheng, who has a few big slap fans, is swaying from side to side.
"Poof...... Poof" A mouthful of old blood spit out of Wei Zheng's mouth.
"It's nonsense, don't stop it soon." It is not okay for the great and wise His Majesty Li Er to continue to be a melon-eating audience.
Because many military officials are ready to gear up, these officials usually ridicule them, it is rare to have such an opportunity to fish in troubled waters today, and no one wants to lose this great time.
Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, no matter how reckless they are, they still know the severity, Your Majesty opened their mouths, and the three of them immediately returned to the court and obediently took their places.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for your subordinates." Wei Zheng cried with tears in his nose, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, looking pitiful.
"Wei Aiqing has suffered, I will definitely give you an explanation." His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Zheng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said.
"Spread my will, and ordered the Tai Hospital to come quickly to diagnose and treat Wei Aiqing." His Majesty Li Er's love for his courtiers is vividly displayed.
"Your Majesty Xie cares, and Weichen is in a big trouble, it's just some flesh and skin suffering. It's just that Weichen is bitter in his heart! The ministers had to admire Wei Zheng's IQ, he didn't say a dirty word, and he lacked the ability to punish his heart.
"Bold Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda, Wei Chi respectful, there is no king law in the court, beat the ministers, and pull out fifty boards per person to set an example." His Majesty Li Er said angrily.
"Your Majesty, no!"
When Du Ruxuan, the secretary of the military department, heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, it is Wei Zheng who humiliates Su Guogong first, Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong and Su Guogong have always been friends, and the mud man still has three points of anger, not to mention the generals who have been Rong Ma all his life, Your Majesty thinks twice." ”
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Hulahula, all the military attaches on the right knelt on the ground. The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves, and the generals can still unite when it comes to their collective honor.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er turned his gaze to Wei Zheng. He is still quite satisfied with the performance of the generals, a collective sense of honor, a cohesive army, is an invincible and majestic army, his Majesty Li Er is exactly what he needs to lead the army to expand the territory and achieve his own imperial hegemony.
The bitterness in Wei Zheng's heart was worse than drinking poison. Today is a complete overturned boat in the gutter, His Majesty Li Er's eyes have already told him the answer, the meaning is obvious, Wei Zheng, your fight today is in vain.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong." Wei Zheng stretched out his hand to insert the blood stains on the side of his mouth, and said unwillingly.
"Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda, Wei Chi Gong's military stick can be exempted, it is difficult to forgive, and he will be fined for half a year from now on, so as to set the record straight, if there is a repeat offender, it will not be tolerated." A fine of half a year may be very serious for the officials, and for their financiers, it is just half a catty of meat on the cow.
After a farce, it was noon.
"Regarding the reward of Tao Gongzi, what Du Aiqing and Wei Aiqing said makes sense, and I will consider it carefully." His Majesty Li Er is worthy of being a famous black-bellied man through the ages, and what he said is not leaky.
"Hubu Shilang, I order you to quickly investigate Tao Ran's life experience, and be sure to be detailed and specific."
"Commandment."
