Although Pei Shi felt strange, he was not as old-fashioned as Kong Yingda and others, and it was his daughter who had an official body, so it was inevitable that he had a little selfishness. She asked Pearl to put the letter away, and instructed her to keep a low profile and not to be in the limelight, so as not to provoke criticism.

Wei Yingluo responded one by one, and persuaded Pei Shi to put away the money, but Pei Shi refused to ask for anything.

"Yingluo, you still have to take back this money, there is no shortage of money in the family now." Seeing Wei Yingluo's doubts, Pei explained: "Your Majesty has punished your father for half a year, and I have already sent it over, and the family now has money to spare." You don't have to be in the subsidy family, your father is a big spend, and his face is still soft, if the family saves money, which relative comes to the door, your father has to point it out. His personality is also difficult to change in this life, and he can't drag you down. Although I have an official body now, I have to think about saving some dowry money in the future, and when I go to my husband's house in the future, don't let people look down on me. ”

Wei Yingluo didn't say anything, but Pearl was not convinced, and said: "Old lady, who looks down on whom, our young lady is so beautiful, capable, or official, and the young master of which family is not more than enough, we have to pick one." ”

Pei Shi glanced at Pearl and said, "Little Pearl, don't think I didn't say you, you are the same!" A woman has to get married sooner or later, can she still be temperamental for the rest of her life? You are both seventeen years old after the New Year, and if you don't marry again this year, you will be gossiped. ”

Pearl muttered quietly; "Mrs. Hou, you didn't get married until you were twenty years old......"

Hearing Pearl talk about Bai Qiaoqiao, Pei suddenly remembered the incident that Wei Zheng had mentioned, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly grabbed Wei Yingluo's hand and said, "Daughter, my mother asked you something, and you have to answer honestly." ”

Wei Yingluo was stunned for a moment, but she still said obediently: "When my mother asks, my daughter naturally answers." ”

"You've been by Li Mu's side for so long, how is he treating you?"

"Okay, Hou Ye treats his daughter very well...... Wei Yingluo thought for a while and said: "Hou Ye always encourages his daughter, and there are some things that my daughter doesn't know if she can do well, but Hou Ye said that it will be okay, he has never looked down on me because I am a daughter, he treats her daughter very well." ”

"And you like him?"

"Huh?!" When Wei Yingluo heard this, she understood what Pei meant, and instantly Xia Fei's temples fluttered, and she said in a panic: "What is my mother talking about, my daughter and Hou Ye are innocent, and there is no personal relationship between children and daughters, absolutely not." ”

"Look, it scares you." Pei Shi hurriedly appeased Wei Yingluo and said, "Didn't my mother say that you had a personal affair with him, and my mother still didn't believe in her daughter?" Mother is asking you, Zhuluhou is so good, you often stay with him, haven't you ever had love? ”

"I ......" Wei Yingluo couldn't answer instantly, because she couldn't eat it herself. When it's time to get married, what girl wouldn't want to do this? Li Mu's talent, Wei Yingluo naturally saw it, but she really didn't think about these things. First, because Li Mu already has a wife and several concubines, although Wei Yingluo's family is poor, but under the influence of Wei Zheng, her heart is also very high, let her be small, how can she be willing?

Moreover, the longer she spent with Li Mu, the more she felt that the gap between her and Li Mu was getting bigger and bigger. Li Mu's ability, as if it is like a star in the sky, she just learned a little, and found that there are more things she doesn't understand, if she can see the end, she will not be discouraged, but Li Mu will have too many things, she will gradually become numb, in this process, she subconsciously distinguishes herself from Li Mu, she feels that she is not as good as Li Mu, if he is with Li Mu, he will feel very bored.

Pei Shi is a person who has come over, and when he saw Wei Yingluo like this, he had a trace of understanding in his heart. couldn't help but sigh secretly, she had always known her daughter's personality, the so-called talent in general, she didn't put it in her eyes at all, but now in the face of Li Mu, she actually felt ashamed of herself, and naturally sighed in her heart, Li Muguo is very human.

Suddenly, there were footsteps at the door, Wei Zheng entered the house with a tired face, and when he saw Wei Yingluo and Pearl, his face became more and more ugly. Wei Yingluo noticed that something was not right, so she quickly stood up and stood next to her with pearls tied.

Wei Zheng sat down, glanced at the master and servant, and said, "You two, have you become an official?" ”

"How does Daddy know?"

"Although the appointment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to go through the Ministry of Officials, it must also be registered with the Ministry of Officials before the letter can be issued. Women are officials, and such a big event has long been spread all over the world. You're my daughter, it's hard for me not to know! ”

Wei Yingluo lowered her head, she knew that this matter must have brought trouble to her father.

Wei Zhengchang sighed and said, "Li Mu, this kid, he just changed the law to block me!" I know that I am not his opponent, and he also knows that if he dislikes me, he can get rid of me at any time, why do you have to keep me in the court, but he is always aimed at me, he is playing the old man?! ”

"Daddy......" Wei Yingluo whispered: "Otherwise, my daughter will go to Hou Ye and say that if she doesn't become an official, she won't bring criticism to her father......"

"Why not?" Wei Zheng snorted and said, "Our father and daughter, who do we owe?" That kid is very shrewd, since he uses you, he must value your ability, and if he criticizes a little, he must have a way to deal with it. I've already told those people just now, I don't know about these things, what they want to do, let them do it, I just have to cultivate the Fa......"

Suddenly, Wei Zheng stopped, he stared and thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "This kid is actually ...... He dares! ”

Everyone was confused, and Pei Shi couldn't help but ask: "Old man, what are you doing in such a shock, what are you doing, what are you daring, you can explain it clearly!" ”

"Oops!" Wei Zheng knocked on his head and said angrily: "I finally figured out what Li Mu was going to do, he didn't get rid of the old man, and he hated the old man, he wanted to subdue me for his use!" Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition! What did he think of the old man? How can I do what he wants? ”

"This ......" Wei Yingluo was also taken aback, and immediately understood most of it. In fact, she has never figured out why Li Mu is against her father everywhere, but never kills. I don't know how many times, as long as Li Mu goes further, Wei Zheng can only go home to tell the old man, but he always stops at the point. Such a method of boiling eagles was revealed by Wei Zheng, and if you think about it in reverse, isn't that what it is!

But in order to take care of Wei Zheng's face, he couldn't say that it was like this, and said: "Dad, maybe you are wrong, Hou Ye has never mentioned this." ”

"Humph!" Wei Zheng is not a fool, he is just a fan of the authorities, and if he figured out the joints, he was able to straighten it out. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Daughter, you give him a word for your father, so that he doesn't want to be delusional, the old man does things and has his own opinions, and he can definitely influence it!" ”

"Oh." Wei Yingluo responded, she knew that this was not the time to persuade. But although she responded to this, she didn't see anything to say to Li Mu, maybe Li Mu really didn't think so, if she passed the word, wouldn't it add to the contradiction.

Wei Zheng gradually calmed down, sighed, and muttered: "Li Mu's son, he is young, his wisdom is almost demonic, in a few years, who will be able to control him." ”

Wei Yingluo heard it and couldn't help asking, "Daddy, why do you always want to restrain Master Hou?" Hou Ye has not done anything to be a traitor, in his daughter's opinion, it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people, why should he be restricted? ”

"Humph!" Wei Zheng glanced at Wei Yingluo and said, "What do you know?" No matter how smart Li Mu is, he is also a minister, a minister, if there is no restraint, is it difficult to make a high merit? His Majesty took care of him in every possible way, because he was young and had no power behind him, and wanted to train him to be the prince's arm, but Li Mu now seems to have become a force himself, His Majesty is now prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and when the prince ascends the throne, I don't know how many years later. At that time, Li Mu seemed to be a hegemon in the DPRK and China, and no one could compete with him. ”

"At that time, can Your Majesty still rest assured that Li Mu will assist the prince? He wouldn't have worried about Li Mu's rebellion after his death? ”

This time it was Wei Yingluo's turn to be frightened, and she muttered, "Daddy, will it get to that point?" ”

"Will you?" Wei Zheng snorted: "You forgot what your father told you, how did Your Majesty sit on the dragon chair today?" As an emperor, how can he care about his personal feelings? Don't say it's Li Mu, any person, without constraints, threatens the imperial power, it's a dead end, Li Mu doesn't know how to restrain today, and no one can save him in the future! ”

……

The next day, above the court, there was indeed the impeachment of the female official by the imperial history. At first, it was three or two, but later when Li Mu did not come to the court, there was a faint trend of continuous films, and they stood up for impeachment.

Li Shimin also had a headache, and when he was hesitating to find Li Mu to give an explanation, Changsun Chong stood up, he was Li Mu's eldest disciple, and he served in the Internal Affairs Office, responsible for reform, and often participated in the court for Li Mu, as if he was Li Mu's spokesperson, he stood up, and everyone was not surprised.

Changsun Chong was also straightforward, without a word of nonsense, he took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and unfolded it to these impeached people, only to see that on the rice paper, five big characters were written on the back of the paper: Guan Er and other! The domineering atmosphere almost revealed the paper and slapped it on everyone's faces.

The eldest grandson threw the paper to the impeachment crowd, turned back to Li Shimin and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the teacher cannot come to the court in person due to His Majesty's ban, but he guessed that there will definitely be a small person who makes a big fuss about the matter of the female official, and he will write a letter to explain it." The teacher said that the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always been independent of the three provinces and six ministries. When His Majesty set up the Internal Affairs Office, he had already given the right to appoint officials of the Internal Affairs Office of the six grades and below, which were written in the holy decree, but it was not written in the holy decree that women could not be officials, and there was no law that women could not be officials in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he did not have the slightest transgression of his authority. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

"That's true." Li Shimin nodded and said: "In the Tang Dynasty law, there is no law that women cannot be officials, but this is a customary rule, and it is still inappropriate for Li Mu to arrange it like this." ”

The eldest grandson Chong said again: "Your Majesty, this is a manifestation of the teacher's thoughtfulness. The Fengchen Bureau is responsible for the use of the palace and is the function of communicating between the inside and outside of the court. It is inevitable that there will be frequent entry and exit of the palace, and if a man is used as an official, it will be inconvenient. And the use of women can avoid embarrassment. Wei Yingluo used to be in the Ministry of Industry, and she has been acting as an assistant to her teacher, and the businessmen and officials are all convinced, and her ability is obvious to all. The teacher appointed Wei Yingluo, completely for the sake of the palace, for this reason did not hesitate to delay the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Hmm," Li Shimin nodded and said, "There is also a trace of truth." Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Wei Aiqing, Wei Yingluo is the pearl of your palm, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wei Zheng made a straight face and said: "Your Majesty, the minister broke off the father-daughter relationship with Wei Yingluo half a year ago, and everything about her has nothing to do with the minister. Whether he is an official or not, whether he is dismissed, the minister has no opinion, and it is all decided by His Majesty's word. If there is a need to revise the laws and regulations, the minister can write them down first and go back to the Hedgehog Academy to discuss with the scholars. ”

"Alas," Li Shimin wanted to tease Wei Zheng with this, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to be a little bored, pursed his lips, and said: "Since there is a reason for the incident, and there is no violation of the law, then so be it." However, it is limited to the internal affairs office, the imperial court and the localities, and it is still not appropriate to use women as officials. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." After Changsun Chong finished speaking, he returned to the corner and stood up, turning back into a small transparent.

Seeing that Li Shimin was partial, the impeached people were helpless, and they all returned to their positions, dejected, like mourning.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"

Suddenly, a rough voice came out, and everyone looked over, and it turned out to be Cheng Biting Jin. This surprised everyone, Cheng Biting Jin is very slippery, and never puts forward any opinions, but when others speak, he likes to mix indiscriminately, and today he stood up, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to say.

Li Shimin was also curious, and said with a smile: "Cheng Zhijie also has something to say, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" ”

"The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, does the land have to be reformed?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It must be changed, if you don't change it, you can't do it, what's the matter, does Zhijie think there's anything wrong?" ”

"Greatly inappropriate!" To everyone's surprise, Cheng Biting Jin, who has always been regarded as Li Mu's party, actually went against him, only to see Cheng Biting Jin clenching his fists and saying in an urn voice: "The minister heard Li Mu say so much that day, and he also felt that it was very reasonable, but when the minister went home and thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Your Majesty, the ministers have titles, and those who have military merits have been given land, if according to his reform, how should the land of the ministers be counted? You can't take it back! ”

"This ......" Li Shimin was stunned by the question, and the other people in the court were indeed like waking up from a dream and being enlightened, all of them were happy!

yes, how did you forget about this stubble! Li Mu is not afraid of the gate valve family, because no matter how big the gate valve is, it is the people, and it is the people, and there is no capital to fight, but the nobles are not, the land exchanged for military exploits, do you dare to take it back? If you don't take it back, it's up to you to give an explanation!
