[0598 What a despicable Wei Bao]
Li Gui and Shen Jingyu both signaled to each other to say first, this kind of moment is really a kind of torment.
As important ministers of North Korea, the two of them confronted Wei Bao so fiercely at the beginning, and now it is really difficult to open their mouths in front of everyone.
Whether it is the two classes of ministers who oppose Wei Bao in their own camp, or the two classes of ministers who are neutral and face Wei Bao, they can't open their mouths.
Princess Zhenming beside Li Gui and Shen Jingwei was also extremely tormented, and she even thanked Li Gui and Shen Jingwei for coming at this time, otherwise, everyone would be looking at her now.
Princess Zhenming doesn't know if Wei Bao will agree to her request, if Wei Bao refuses to release her father-in-law and husband, she will have to die here!
Li Gui and Shen Jingyu didn't speak, and Wei Bao didn't urge, and toasted each other with Gu Hong and others.
While drinking, Gu Hong signaled Li Gui and Shen Jingyu with his eyes not to anger Wei Bao anymore and not to be 'stubborn'.
Li Gui gritted his teeth and took the lead in speaking: "Master Taifu, please forgive me!" I shouldn't have spoken recklessly in front of Lord Taifu's mansion. ”
Wei Bao smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Lord Li Gui is serious, I am also angry for a while, they are all men, and it is normal to be angry." ”
Li Gui secretly thought, what he said is so good, can I get back the 90,000 taels of silver that my son paid? This afternoon, I owe a lot of money all at once!
However, since Li Gui had already apologized, on the surface, he no longer dared to contradict Wei Bao, smiled and nodded yes.
Li Gui spoke first, and although Shen Jingwei had a more stubborn temper, he was able to speak, "Master Taifu, it was not mine just now!" ”
Wei Bao saw that Shen Jingzhuo still had a cold face, still a little domineering, and was slightly unhappy, but he still nodded and said, "It's easy to say!" Let him pass the past! Don't talk about it again. ”
"In this case, I also apologize, can Master Taifu return the 90,000 taels of silver that I and Lord Li Gui gave us? Even if you have to pay those who are beaten for the soup and medicine, it will be at most 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, not 180,000 taels of silver, right? Moreover, Lord Taifu has still detained Lord Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan and has not released them. Lord Hong Yi broadcast in the name of incorruptibility in North Korea, and his family would never be able to come up with so much silver. ”
When everyone heard this, they all gasped, they didn't expect that Shen Jingyu would dare to ask Wei Bao for silver in front of the public!
The audience was silent, the needle drop could be heard, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Bao's face.
Wei Bao hadn't spoken yet, but this time Princess Zhenming spoke first: "Master Taifu, what Uncle Wang said is right, my husband's family has been honest for generations, and a little salary on weekdays is only enough for the family, not to mention 300,000 taels of silver, that is, 3,000 taels of silver, my family can't take it out, even if I sell the house, I can make up at most 20,000 taels of silver!" Please forgive my husband and my father. If Master Taifu is not angry, I can kneel down and apologize to Master Taifu! ”
The two classes of ministers present, whether they were against Wei Bao, or the ministers of the two classes who were loyal to Wei Bao, or the ministers of the two classes who were neutral, all felt that the princess was quite pitiful, and they all knew that Hong Yi was indeed an incorruptible minister, and they knew the situation of the Hong family, so they stood up together to intercede for Hong Yi's father and son.
"Master Taifu, please return our silver! We've all apologized! Everyone knows that Lord Taifu is rich and rivals the country, not to mention that you took away the property and real estate of our people a while ago, these riches are incalculable, and they are not short of tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? Shen Jingyi further persecuted Wei Baodao.
Wei Bao didn't expect that things would change again after he won the battle!
And this change was more powerful than any change he had endured before.
Even more stressful than not being able to find that vow.
Because Wei Bao was not prepared to find that kind of thing, having agents is not omnipotent, which Wei Bao knows very well, this is the real world, not filming a TV series, not writing.
Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao had never made a sound, and a group of ministers from two classes had a chaotic pleading, and there was a tendency to intensify and become louder and louder.
Wu Xuexia was very anxious, and called Wei Bao softly: "What's wrong?" ”
"No, nothing." Wei Bao wasn't distracted, just his mind was racing, thinking about how to reply to them.
In Wei Bao's view, there are no more than three kinds of responses, rejection, acceptance, and semi-rejection and semi-acceptance.
Wei Bao is now thinking about which one to use.
Think about it, which one has more gains and losses and is more cost-effective.
In Wei Bao's opinion, it is nothing for him to refuse directly, after all, he has already made concessions once! Already given face! But that time made most of the ministers of the two classes hate themselves even more! Especially this Hong Yi father and son seem to have a high reputation, and they are indeed honest and famous people, and it is indeed a bit bad to put such a person to death by himself.
It is impossible to accept, no silver, not economically cost-effective, this is one of them, and even if you accept it all, you don't want any money, these ministers of the two classes will definitely not think of their own good, but will feel that they are a person who goes back on his word, easily changes his mind, and does not stand firm.
"Your money cannot be returned! Because you are indeed wrong! Wei Bao said to Li Gui and Shen Jing very decisively.
Most of the ministers in both classes didn't hear what Wei Bao said clearly, because everyone was talking. Only the people in the front row leaning on Wei Bao could hear it.
But Li Gui and Shen Jingyu heard it clearly, because they were also very close to Wei Bao.
When everyone calmed down, they happened to hear Shen Jingqi asking, "What about Lord Hongyi?" He didn't say anything today, did he? Moreover, Lord Hongyi's family has been honest for generations, and there is indeed no silver, and the only real estate was also given by the concubine when the princess got married, and their family's old house is not as good as the people who do business in Seoul. ”
The ministers of the two classes nodded yes one after another, and they were very united, because they heard that Wei Bao had rejected Li Gui and Shen Jingwei, so they hoped that Wei Bao would be exempted from the punishment of Hong Yi's father and son, otherwise, they would feel that they were ignored by Wei Bao together, which was a great humiliation.
Wei Bao said: "Why did I punish Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan, I believe you all know very well!" Know the role of their father and son in this plot to assassinate me! Originally, I had already reached a settlement with Li Liang and Master Gu Hong, and there is no need to mention the past! But you have to uncover it~! I ask, which of you would be so tolerant of your mortal enemy? People want your life, and then you let it go? I don't want Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan's lives yet, I just let them take out 300,000 taels, isn't it difficult for me to be lenient enough? ”
The ministers of the two classes heard Wei Bao say this, and no one persuaded him anymore, indeed, what Wei Bao said was very reasonable, this is a great feud between life and death!
Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan's father and son did play a great role in this plot to assassinate Wei Bao, Hong Yi is one of the decision-makers and leaders, and Hong Zhuyuan is one of the initiators, even sending Princess Zhenming to seduce Wei Bao is not a felony?
Princess Zhenming knelt down all of a sudden: "Master Taifu! If I can spare my husband and my father, I am willing to die to apologize!" It's all done, right? ”
"Don't say that!" Wei Bao immediately replied, and replied very decisively: "If you say so, the people who don't know the truth still think that I am bad, how can I persecute you!" I'm a person who likes to be clear about everything! If you die like this, not only will I not do any good, but I will not make a person, you say that you are dead, what use will it be to me? What is your death worth? Not only is it useless, but it is very harmful. ”
When the ministers of the two classes heard the Great Khan, they really didn't expect that the handsome and chic Taifu Master Wei Gongzi would actually settle accounts like a businessman in the market, and it was actually very reasonable.
Princess Zhenming wiped her tears and said, "What about Lord Taifu?" ”
"Three o'clock! If I can't do anything, I won't give up! Wei Bao immediately stretched out three fingers and said, "Is what I said reasonable, please judge together, okay?" ”
"Master Taifu, please speak." Many ministers of the two classes said in unison.
Wei Bao didn't say, but looked at Princess Zhenming.
Princess Zhenming knelt on the ground and wiped her tears, realizing that Wei Bao was looking at herself, she choked up and said, "Lord Taifu, please speak." ”
"Okay, since you've all asked me to say it, I'll talk about it." Wei Bao Zhengse said: "First! Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan's father and son must also admit their mistakes to me in person! Second, Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan's father and son are not allowed to be officials from now on, I don't target the relatives and friends of the Hong family, I don't target anyone, I only talk about their father and son, what do you think? ”
The ministers of the two classes nodded together, and they all felt that these two articles were very appropriate.
Moreover, if Wei Bao only punished Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan father and son like this, it would already be very slight.
Because even if he is no longer an official, Hong Yi is already a person who is a scholar, and he has no place in the court.
And Hong Yi has major government affairs in the future, which does not affect his speech, he is a prestigious minister, whether he is an official or not does not affect his speech, Wei Bao did not send Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan father and son, he is already very benevolent.
Especially Hong Zhuyuan, Hong Zhuyuan is now inconvenient to move his legs and feet, at first glance, he is a weak person, and he does not have any special talent, and he has mixed with officialdom for a lifetime, and it is estimated that he will not be able to reach a high position, especially Wei Bao, with Wei Bao's current power in North Korea, as long as Wei Bao's power is influenced, Hong Zhuyuan will never be able to be a high-ranking official.
"So, what about the third one?" Gu Hong couldn't help but ask.
Wei Bao said: "The third one, that is, Princess Zhenming must not return to the Hong family in the future and stay by my side!" I won't marry her, but she'll have to follow me for the rest of her life! If there is even the slightest disloyalty, I will take revenge harshly! ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, including Lin Wenbiao, Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya, who were on Wei Bao's side.
So despicable.
These are the three words that pop up in everyone's minds at the same time.
Even Wei Bao himself felt that he was so despicable that he could say such a thing.
The people present looked at the plump and moving Princess Zhenming with their hearts, Princess Zhenming's stunning appearance and noble identity, these are all dreams of men, thinking of the scene where Princess Zhenming was pressed under Wei Bao, who is not excited, who is not envious?
Wu Xuexia was so angry that she didn't dare to sweep Wei Bao's face in front of everyone, her eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, and tears had begun to gather.
Wu Xuexia is not very jealous of Princess Zhenming, she doesn't think that Princess Zhenming has the ability to be compared with Zhao Jinfeng, but Wei Bao flirted with a woman like this in front of so many people, Wu Xuexia was a little angry.
If she wasn't by Wei Bao's side, she just heard about it, and she didn't feel anything, but now that she has been by Wei Bao's side for a long time, she has already regarded herself as the hostess, so she feels angry and has no face.
"I won't agree, this is bad for me, it's bad for the royal family, and it will bring shame to the entire North Korean people." Princess Zhenming said word by word.
Many ministers also nodded together, and they all felt that they could not agree, but no one dared to say it.
Wei Bao had expected that Princess Zhenming would not agree, but when he heard Princess Zhenming say this, and saw that many of the ministers in the two classes did not agree, he was very happy, and he felt more and more that the conditions he offered were very good.
What Wei Bao is most afraid of is to make a loss-making business.
"This is my condition, of course, you don't have to agree, just give 300,000 taels of silver! I agreed, I don't have to pay a penny of silver, if I don't agree, it's 300,000 taels of silver, I'm the fairest person, and I never force people. Wei Bao smiled and said, "Although you are a princess, you have been married, and the price must be discounted." Also, you came to seduce me, but I didn't seduce, did you? Otherwise, you'd already be the woman who slept with me, right? What do you have to lose? ”
Burst!
Although what Wei Bao said was the truth, no one in the two classes of ministers would have thought that Wei Bao would say it so bluntly and directly!
Especially Gu Hong, Shen Jingyu and others, they also teased Princess Zhenming many times to sleep with Wei Bao in the process of seducing Wei Bao.
Princess Zhenming herself is the same, although she did not explicitly agree, but since Princess Zhenming agreed to Hong Zhuyuan to seduce Wei Bao, she is also ready to be slept with by Wei Bao.
It's just that these are all things under the table, can this be openly put on the table?
Moreover, in this era, etiquette and religion are greatly defended, not to mention this kind of not very legitimate relationship between men and women, even if the Ming media is marrying, it is not easy to say so casually, right?
Wei Bao himself gave himself more than just the adjective of despicable.
Rude, vulgar, mean, shameless, lewd, hahaha, Wei Bao is all on his head, and he feels so good.
Especially watching this super white rich beauty being humiliated by herself, that kind of feeling, for a person who started with the identity of a silk family, the wonderful feeling cannot be described in words.
Wei Bao saw that Princess Zhenming was silent and did not speak, he was very proud, and said to the ministers of the two classes: "Didn't you just help Lord Li Gui and Lord Shen Jingyu raise the money?" If you think it's inappropriate, you can also help Princess Zhenming make up the money, when you pleaded for Hong Yi's father and son just now, weren't you all very resolute and excited? Come on, express your hearts with practical actions! Their family is an incorruptible, prestigious family! You should be more generous. ”
However, the scene was silent again, and no one would speak.
Wei Bao smiled: "Why did you pool money for Lord Li Gui and Lord Shen Jingyu?" I can help you answer, because you know that the two of them can pay it back, and they are not afraid of the money being wasted! And you know that the Hong family will definitely not come out yet, so verbal support is okay! If you give a few dozen taels, or even a few hundred taels of silver, you can treat it as if you lost it, or if you use it! You don't care too much! But what Hong Yi and his son want to take out is 300,000 taels of silver! Even if you can scrape together tens of thousands of taels of silver, it will be a drop in the bucket, and it is still far from it! So, you're silent now, I'm right, right? ”
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows, he wanted to say something, but he endured it.
Wei Bao looked at Gu Hong with a smile and said: "Master Gu Hong, I know what you want to say, what you want to say, it's about the dignity of the royal family, you have to ask Li Liang or Princess Wang first, isn't it?" I don't have a problem, you can send someone to ask for instructions now, but whether the Joseon royal palace can take out such a large sum of silver is a question, and even if it can be taken out, it is reluctant to take it out for a princess who has already married, this is the bigger problem, isn't it? If Li Liang and Princess Wang refuse to take this silver, you rush to tell it, I am afraid that it will be the army of the royal family, which will make Li Liang and Princess Wang very difficult, I am not wrong, right? ”
Gu Hong sighed, secretly thinking that Wei Bao is really a person, everything he thinks, it seems that Wei Bao can guess clearly!
Indeed, the royal family has no silver! If there is silver, there will be no rebellion everywhere that cannot be contained!
Originally, it cost a lot of money to overthrow the rule of Li Hui, the king of Gwanghae, and the war was the most costly in silver, and there were rebellions everywhere, and there were large-scale rebellions of Li Shi, and there was still a famine in various parts of Korea, not to mention 300,000 taels of silver, even 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid they can't take it out!
The Joseon royal family and the Ming royal family really have the same thing, and many places are extremely similar!
It is the big landlord class that is rich, not the royal family! Otherwise, the country and the people will be safe.
Wei Bao has grasped this and has achieved success many times, and will use it for a long time in the future.
One trick is fresh, eat all over the world.
"I won't promise you! I believe I ......" Princess Zhenming originally wanted to tell my husband that she would not agree, but thinking that Hong Zhuyuan would be able to find an opportunity to assassinate Wei Bao in order to force herself to seduce Wei Bao, would Hong Zhuyuan agree? Now Princess Zhenming is really hard to say.
So Princess Zhenming couldn't help but didn't say three words about my husband, but changed her words: "I believe my father will not agree." ”
Princess Jeongmyeong's biological father was the last monarch of North Korea and had died, and the father she was talking about now naturally referred to her father-in-law Hong Yi, who she believed would not agree to such a request rather than die.
