Chapter 104: Offering Advice to Warning Wei Jun
Wei Si immediately called Ziqi over and asked:
"Is what Mr. Deko said just now true?"
The sub-period replied:
"What Mr. Deko said is true!"
After Wei Si motioned for him to retreat, he said to Izuko:
"Okay, the widow thanks Mr. Deko for reminding him, after the widow returns to the palace, he must listen to Mr. and be thrifty in the palace, please continue to talk about Mr. Dezuko!"
Izuko continued:
"Third, it is to reorganize the school palace, although you have built more than ten school palaces in Wei in the past few years, and supported these students with high treatment, but the middle school students in these school palaces are uneven, there are very few virtuous people, and most of them have become idle wine bags and rice bags, so it is really a waste of your hard work, the king!"
Wei Si was a little chilled after hearing this, after all, in the past two years, he has been frugal and devoted himself to the palace, but he didn't see a sage who came out of the palace of the Wei Kingdom, and he was also awakened by this sentence, so he said:
"Mr. Dezuko's words, the widow will definitely take it to heart!"
Izuko finally said:
"The fourth is the military reform that Mr. Meng Wan said before, Mr. Meng Wan's recommendation, and the minister also appreciates it!"
Wei Si was very happy to get up, walked up to the dezi, took his hand excitedly and said:
"You are the great sage that few people are looking for...... O great sage! ”
So Wei Si ordered Chuzi and Meng Wan to be the middle doctors, specializing in reform, and Hu Sunqi and Xizi as doctors, and the two of them worked together to assist Chen Zhen in dealing with various things.
Because of the overlap between Wei Si and Queen Wei Ji that day, Wei Si also forgot about the previous unhappiness, and there was no more mustard between the two, and Queen Wei Ji was also like a red light every day, restoring the temperament of the former mother, and began to help Wei Si manage the harem wholeheartedly.
On this day, when Wei Si came to the queen's bedroom, he saw that he was looking through the accounts, so he quietly ran behind him, deliberately blindfolded him, changed his voice and asked:
"Guess who I am?"
A smile appeared on Wei Ji's face:
"Husband, don't make fun of me, I'm busy?"
Wei Si let go of Wei Ji, then glanced at the accounts that Wei Ji was flipping through, and asked:
"Madam, are you checking the use of the harem?"
Wei Ji nodded:
"Yes, husband, since the last time I heard that the doctor in your school palace said that our Wei country is too extravagant, Xiaojun, I want to check if there is a problem with the spending in our palace!"
Wei Si smiled and said to Wei Ji:
"Madame, have you found out?"
Wei Ji replied:
"Xiaojun, I'm not investigating!"
After a while, Wei Ji turned to a bamboo book, looked at it carefully, and said to herself:
"How...... How can it cost 100 pigs to buy 10 pigs? I see that a pig in the Daliang Market is only 500 yuan at most, how can there be such an expensive pig? ”
魏嗣 says:
"Just call the chef in charge and ask?"
After a while, the imperial chef in charge came to Wei Si and Wei Ji, and finished saluting the two of them one by one.
Wei Ji asked him:
"You buy ten pigs, and you only need five taels in the Daliang Market, so why do you spend 100 pigs?"
The chef looked a little flustered:
"Back to the king and queen, although the world price of these ten pigs is only five pounds, but because this pig is raised by Liang Ling Wei Shuang's uncle You Hu, the price will naturally be higher, and when you get to the palace, the ministers also have to give some attention to the managers of each house, and the price of these ten pigs is naturally almost 100 yuan!"
When Wei Si heard this, he angrily snatched the account book from Wei Ji's hand and smashed it directly into the kitchen:
"The widow will tell you now, no matter who it is, the price of my Wei Palace in the future shall not be higher than the market price of the beam, otherwise, the widow will drive out all of you!"
The chef was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
I only heard Wei Si question again:
"Don't you obey the king's orders?"
The kitchen manager raised his head timidly and replied with tears in his eyes:
"King, if you want to set the price of the palace according to the market price, the minister only wants to die!"
Wei Si was even more angry:
"Okay, this is your own death, come on, drag him out for me!"
At this time, the queen guard Ji stopped Wei Si:
"Husband, don't be so impatient, I'm afraid this chef has another secret!"
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"Corrupt and pervert the law, and there is still a secret?"
Wei Ji got up and walked over to the chef and asked:
"You said that you would rather die than deal with the cost of the palace at the market price, then the queen wants to know, who have you given to it, if you don't go into details, the queen can't save you?"
The chef raised his head and looked around, then replied:
"This hundred, the minister first has to pay You Hu thirty yuan, and then he has to take care of the ten imperial chefs and helpers under his command to spend ten yuan, and then he has to go to the harem garden, and the concubines and concubines have to spend thirty yuan, and finally keep five yuan for his wife and children at home!"
Wei Ji asked:
"That's only seventy-five, so where are the twenty-five?"
Guan Chef peeked at Catwoman behind Wei Ji at this time, and then quickly took it back, which happened to be discovered by Wei Si.
Just listen to the chef continue:
"The remaining twenty-five pounds, minister...... The ministers all went out to spend their own expenses! ”
Wei Ji was also angry, and pointed directly at the chef and said:
"Not only are you corrupt and pervert the law, but you also dare to lie about your expenses and take our palace's money out for your own expenses, you are really ...... Is...... Too presumptuous...... Presumptuous! ”
Guan Chef seemed to understand that he was inevitably dead, and suddenly smiled:
"The king, the queen, you came to judge me for this little money, don't you look at the homes of those officials in your big beam, which family does not have a mountain of pearls and jade? If the king or queen thinks that the minister has committed a capital crime, the minister will admit it! ”
After saying that, he suddenly crashed into the pillar on the side, but was stopped by the guards.
Wei Si came over at this time and questioned him:
"The widow looked at you just now and the queen and palace maid seemed to have something strange, you tell me honestly, is there something unspeakable between you?"
As soon as Catwoman heard King Wei questioning the chef like this, she was so frightened that she unconsciously knelt down in front of Wei Ji:
"The Queen's Mother...... Queen's mother, I am also guilty of cats, and I am also guilty! ”
Wei Ji looked at Catwoman incredulously:
"What crime have you committed again?"
Catwoman replied:
"Queen, its twenty-five pounds are actually collected by slaves and maids, and they are collected by slaves and maids!"
Wei Ji was also surprised:
"What, you took it?"
Catwoman replied:
"Yes, it's not just that, those palace people, as well as those who do things in the palace, and the money that needs to be paid are all slaves and maids, and I collected them for the queen!"
Wei Ji suddenly became ashamed, and ran back to her bed angrily.
As soon as Wei Si heard Catwoman's words, he was even more surprised, so he came over and questioned Catwoman:
"You tell me the truth, where did all the money you collected go, where did it go, you don't make it clear today, I ordered someone to let you taste the punishment of cannon burning?"
Catwoman was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak at this time, and the rabbit girl next to her quickly knelt down in front of Wei Si and said for him:
"My lord, the money collected by the cat is actually ...... Actually, it's all for the queen! ”
Wei Si's fists clenched tightly all of a sudden:
"What? Did the queen spend all this money? Is it not enough for each queen to spend on herself? ”
The Rabbit Girl nodded:
"Yes, the queen's mother's clothes are already meager, and they have been reduced several times because of the use of too much in the palace, and now the queen's clothes have not been changed for half a year!"
Wei Si asked:
"Well, the widow wants to know where your money has been spent for the queen!"
The Bunny Girl spoke.
It turned out that it was because Wei Ji's mother country was weak, and he suffered a famine over the years, so he had to pay to Qi and Wei every year, and he began to pay to Zhao Guo since the beginning of the previous year.
In order not to make it difficult for Wei Ji, the rabbit girl and the cat woman accepted bribes in the palace privately, and then saved the money and ordered someone to smuggle it back to Wei Guo, and then Wei Guo took the money out and made an annual offering to Wei State.
After hearing this, Wei Si was even more angry, and directly ordered the rabbit girl and the cat woman to be executed together with the cook, and then warned all the palace people:
"If it is found that any palace people dare to accept bribes privately in the future, they will be punished by Ling Chi!"
Queen Wei Ji also fell ill again because of this incident, and Wei Si had to personally bring the decoction to feed him.
I only heard that the queen was lying on the couch at this time, and she was still very ashamed and said to Wei Si:
"Husband, Xiaojun, I have committed such a serious crime now, why are you still so good to Xiaojun and me?"
Wei Si comforted:
"You are the queen of the widow, if you make a mistake, it is equivalent to a widow making a mistake, don't say such a thing, and I don't even know about it, it was all done by the rabbit girl and the cat woman from you!"
Wei Ji said again:
"But in time, the rabbit girl and the cat woman don't hide it from me, and I'm afraid I'll go back to do it myself!"
Wei Si sighed:
"Forget it, don't mention that, it's all in the past!"
Wei Ji suddenly burst into tears at this time:
"The Rabbit Girl and the Catwoman have followed me all the way from Weiguo to Daliang, and it has been fifteen or fifteen years now, but I didn't expect them to leave me like this, ah......!"
As he spoke, he began to cry.
A month later, Wei Jun also came to Daliang to worship Wei Si in person this time and made an offering!
When Wei Jun wanted to see the queen, he was rejected by Wei Si, and Wei Si also sent someone to investigate the tributes that Wei Jun sent to Zhao and Qi, and when he learned that Wei Jun sent twice as much tribute to Zhao as Wei, Wei Si naturally became angry.
When Wei Jun came to the palace to see him the next day, Wei Si was directly angry and smashed Wei Jun's offering book and a piece of jade with insufficient color on Wei Jun's head:
"Okay, you Wei Jun, you have enshrined thirty carts of grain and fifteen carts of wealth and silk for Zhao State, but only ten carts of wealth and silk for us Wei State, are you despising our Wei State?"
Wei Jun was so frightened that he knelt directly in front of Wei Si:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty doesn't dare, don't dare, your king, you...... Didn't you let the lower monarch submit to the Zhao State before? Of course, the lower monarch gave more worship to the Zhao State, just like when the lower monarch surrendered to the king of your Wei State! ”
Wei Si immediately replied:
"Now that you don't have the same serious famine as before, shouldn't you mention the previous offerings?"
Wei Jun was taken aback:
"This ...... This......! ”
Wei Si snapped:
"Could it be that now that you have Zhao State as your backer, don't you take our Wei State seriously?"
Wei Jun was so frightened that he kept kowtowing to Wei Si:
"The Great King forgives his sins...... Forgive our sins, we are a small country, how dare we offend a big country, please give us a way to live to defend the country! ”
Wei Si smiled contemptuously:
"Alive? You said to live, good, Weijun, the widow warns you now, the old account widow has not yet settled with you, you take back all your offerings this time, according to what the widow said, twice as much, there must be no such things that are not enough to deceive, if you can't send the beam before the heavy snow, don't blame the widow for being polite, and send troops to fight against you to defend the country! ”
