Chapter 184: Old Father's Wrath
Wei Zheng's wife was born in a famous family, Hedong Pei.
Although the Pei family in Hedong is not among the five surnames and seven hopes, but its door is not weaker than the five surnames and seven hopes, and its ancestor is the ancestor of Yingqin, after the son, the branch of the non-son is sealed Pei Township, because he thinks it is the clan. The Pei clan is divided into three branches, living in Hedong, Yanjing, Xiliang and other places, especially the Pei clan in Hedong is the most prosperous. Known as, heroic and handsome, famous and virtuous, shoulder to shoulder, especially good at capable ministers.
Pei Lian, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was born in the Pei family in Hedong.
Wei Zheng's wife, Pei, was born in such a famous family.
Later records about Pei's family are most famous for 'jealousy'. According to legend, the allusion of 'jealousy' came from this: Li Shimin learned that Wei Zheng had only one wife and no concubines, and felt that he was pitiful, so he wanted to be an adult and sent him a few concubines. But Wei Zheng didn't dare to ask for it, Li Shimin asked why, and Wei Zheng said that he had to ask his wife about it.
Li Shimin secretly thought in his heart that a manly husband didn't even dare to ask for a concubine, he must be afraid of guilt. In order to maintain Wei Zheng's face, Li Shimin said, if you don't do this, I will give you a decree to give marriage, no matter how powerful your wife is, she will never dare to refute the emperor's face, right?
Unexpectedly, this face was not given.
Li Shimin was a good-faced person, so he called Pei Shi over and asked: "I gave Wei Zheng a concubine, why didn't you let it?" ”
Pei replied: "State affairs are naturally up to him, and family affairs must listen to me."
Li Shimin seized the loophole in this statement and said: "The Son of Heaven rewards his courtiers, is it a state affair or a family affair?"
Pei Shi was silent for a long time, unable to answer this question, and finally said: "There is her without me, there is me without her!"
Li Shimin was slapped in the face for the second time, and he was furious, and people used poisoned wine to scare Pei. Unexpectedly, before the threatening words were said, Pei Shi picked up the wine glass and drank it. Fortunately, it wasn't really poisonous wine, and Pei's life was saved.
Li Shimin saw that Pei's family was really strong, and he was also convinced, and he didn't mention the matter of rewarding concubines. Because it is a poisonous wine replaced by rice vinegar, later generations called women's jealousy 'jealousy'.
Pei's family is well-governed and very majestic. At home, even Wei Zheng didn't dare to provoke her easily. But this time Wei Yingluo was punished, but Pei did not intervene. It's not that she also feels that her daughter is wrong, but Pei Shi understands Wei Zheng's hardships.
After a battle with Li Mu, most of the power of the Shandong Shi clan in the court was lost. Nowadays, among the six departments, there are few Shandong scholars left. Most of the forces are in the Goshidai.
The place of Yushitai seems to be a noble yamen. But when you think about it, it's a useless place. Because the imperial history has no real power, you impeach 800 times, and the emperor does not act, what is the difference between it and fart. And how difficult it is to refute a person with his mouth. Wei Zheng was happy at first because of his promotion, but then he slowly tasted the taste, and he has been depressed for a while, and he hasn't made a move for a while.
However, he is now the leader of the Shandong Shi clan in the court. In his place, he must seek his own affairs. Wei Yingluo's relationship with Li Mu was learned by a royal historian from Shandong, and when he came to the door, Wei Zheng had to show an attitude.
Shandong Shi clan and Li Mu don't share the sky, you Wei Zheng is the spokesperson of our Shandong Shi clan, your daughter is entangled with him, what is this?
Unless Wei Zheng defects, he must punish Wei Yingluo. Anyone can have a relationship with Li Mu, but only his daughter Wei Zheng must draw a line with him.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, but it is not possible.
What's more, Li Mu gave Wei Zheng the biggest setback in the decades since he entered the industry, and hit Wei Zheng, an old troll, into doubts about life several times. As far as his personal perception is concerned, he also hates Li Mu.
If her daughter has anything to do with someone like Li Mu, will she have a reputation? Even if there is nothing, if it spreads, the door will be ruined.
The mistake he asked Wei Yingluo to admit was to make her show her attitude, and she would definitely not have anything to do with Li Mu in the future. But what is annoying is that Wei Yingluo is unwilling! Could it be that this girl already has a personal relationship with Li Mu?
Wei Zhengdeng's eyes were red, and the old father's anger hit his head, and his blood pressure rushed up, so he punished Wei Yingluo heavily.
And Pei couldn't say anything about this matter.
Originally, she thought that Wei Yingluo was her daughter's family after all, and she couldn't stand such a big suffering, and she knelt for a few hours, but she couldn't bear it, and Wei Zheng's anger disappeared, so she just left. But she didn't expect that the father and daughter had such a bad temper, and no one would give in. Wei Yingluo even knelt until she fainted, which made her feel distressed.
Now that the children have grown up, there is only this little daughter left by her side, how can she not care about the meat that fell from her mother's body.
At this point, I can't take care of my reason. The doctor was in the house to see Wei Yingluo, and the two of them quarreled in the outhouse. Don't look at Wei Zheng's ability to fight against Confucianism in the court, one sprays three, but at home, his combat power is not even half of Pei's. was scolded for a dog blood sprinkler, and finally simply closed his mouth, you love to scold, can't I squeak anymore? Killing people is not enough, I don't speak, what else can you do with me?
I have to say that Wei Zheng has understood the survival rules of middle-aged men. Other tricks don't work, but this trick really works. Pei Shi was tired of arguing, took a breath, glanced at Wei Zheng, and said, "Now, what should I do?!" ”
"I don't know." Wei Zheng said hardly: "Anyway...... I'm a father, so I can't compensate my daughter. ”
"I didn't let you pay for it." Pei Shi said: "The imperial history who came to you, he made it clear that he wanted to make a fuss about this matter. But this matter is about our daughter's honor, and I am asking this, what are you going to do? ”
Wei Zheng was silent.
According to the officialdom battle, if you want to benefit the most, the best way is for Wei Yingluo to stand up and falsely accuse Li Mu, but now looking at Wei Yingluo's posture, she made it clear that she would not agree. Moreover, Wei Zheng was unwilling to do so.
But the problem is that he is unwilling to do it, and those imperial historians from Shandong are not all gentlemen. If you think about it on your toes, you can imagine what kind of choices they will make.
Seeing that Wei Zheng was silent, Pei Shi said angrily: "You old thing, you can't show a little attitude and tell those people, don't beat our daughter's idea." If they dare to use our daughter to make a fuss, you will turn against them and never be with them again...... Don't you dare to say that? ”
"Oops!" Wei Zheng said angrily: "Family and country affairs, how can it be child's play? ”
Pei Shi sneered: "You also said that it was a family and country matter, you can't even handle family affairs well, how can you handle state affairs well?" ”
Dropping this sentence, Pei Shi got up to see his daughter, leaving only Wei Zheng alone, stunned and in a daze.
He didn't know that the imperial history left his house, and when he returned home, he wrote a notebook, which is now placed on Li Shimin's table. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mu was sick, Li Shimin would have been upset and would have seen it a long time ago.
That's how wonderful it is. The same book, looking at it at different times, produces different effects.
Seeing it before learning that Li Mu was sick and seeing it after learning that Li Mu was sick will naturally not have the same effect.
Lizheng Palace.
Li Shimin talked to Empress Changsun for a while, and when he talked about Li Mu's illness, Empress Changsun was also embarrassed. After chatting about Empress Changsun's own condition, the sky also darkened. So Li Shimin passed the meal and dined with the eldest grandson queen in the Lizheng Palace.
After eating, Li Shimin remembered the twists and turns that he hadn't finished reading, so he asked the little eunuch to move all the twists and turns, he was going to rest in the Lizheng Hall today, and before going to sleep, he had to finish reading these twists and turns.
After a while, I saw the twists and turns of this imperial history signed 'Lu Zhilin'.
The more Li Shimin watched it, the more angry he became, and after reading it, he threw it on the ground and scolded: "Bastard! It's the imperial history again! It's Shandong Shi clan again! Li Mu suffered from brain disease, and these people thought that he was about to lose power, and they slandered him with bad words, which was extremely annoying! ”
Empress Eldest Sun bent down to pick up the fold and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”
Li Shimin's anger did not subside: "The queen sees it herself!" ”
Empress Changsun had no choice but to open the fold, and after reading it, she also frowned.
This imperial historian called 'Lu Zhilin' wrote a letter to impeach Li Mu for three crimes. One said, stealing national wealth. Second, arrogant and flaunting wealth. Three said, flirting with people's girls. Stealing national wealth is said that Li Mu ran a company, encircled the powerful, and stole the profits of the salt tax. The arrogant flaunting of wealth is that Li Mu acts arrogantly and takes pleasure in his money. is molesting the people's daughter, talking about Wei Yingluo, saying that Li Mu kidnapped Wei Zheng's daughter and wanted to do wrong.
Empress Eldest Sun put the fold on the table and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine also feels that Li Mu has been wronged. ”
"Isn't it wronged!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "If there is no Li Mu, how can there be fine salt, without fine salt, where will the taxes come from and where will the profits come from?" And the molesting girl, why don't I believe that Li Mu would do such a thing? also flirted with Wei Zheng's daughter...... Why didn't he say that Li Mu had molested my daughter?! Bark up the wrong tree! ”
When Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin mentioned two things, she didn't say anything about 'acting arrogantly and taking pleasure with money' in the middle, so she knew that Li Shimin intended to defend it. Of the three points that Lu Yushi said, only the middle one is right. Li Mu has always been arrogant, counting what he has done, first Kong Yingda, then Wei Zheng, plus the people of the various gate valve families, which one is not his elder, and which one is not older than him? But he never cared. This can be regarded as arrogance, but if you say a word of arrogance, you will not be wronged by him.
As for the use of money for pleasure, it is even more difficult to argue. Datang Daily has been advertising for three days in a row, and Chang'an City is now full of treasure hunters.
But he can't be blamed for this, the money is earned by others, so don't you let it be spent? This Lu Yushi listed this article, and it is estimated that there is nothing to say, so he took it out and made up the number.
The other two are hard to escape the suspicion of fabricating crimes.
"I must deal with this Lu Zhilin tomorrow and make an example of the chickens and monkeys!"
"Your Majesty, wait!"
