Chapter 157: Bianzhou Mansion
Hearing this scolding Li Haochen, he was frightened in a cold sweat, you must know that what Fang Xuanling said just now is indeed a bit taboo, the most taboo thing for the emperor of any dynasty is that his ministers form gangs, because this will invisibly weaken the centralized power and weaken the power in the hands of the emperor.
Just when Li Haochen was shocked in his heart, the person who was talking outside the house just now had already walked into the room, and said to Li Haochen and Fang Xuanling with a smile: "Brother Haochen, Mr. Fang, don't you come here if you haven't seen you for many days?" After Li Haochen saw the person who came clearly, his hanging heart was a little lowered, the person who came was not Wei Zheng, the official and current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but also Li Haochen's eldest brother of the opposite sex.
Li Haochen also hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be Brother Wei, why is Brother Wei at the door of my study?" What Mr. Xuan Ling said just now is just a hypothesis, please don't mind the eldest brother! ”
Wei Zheng listened to Li Haochen's words, laughed and said: "I came with Your Majesty just now, but I didn't have a lot of anger when I first arrived at your mansion, so I took a leave of absence with Your Majesty and went to the toilet in your mansion. Listening to Wei Zheng's explanation, Li Haochen understood that Li Haochen was still wondering just now, his mansion is not heavily guarded, but it is not that anyone who wants to come in can come in, even Wei Zheng has to inform him before he can come in, of course, if Wei Zheng came with the emperor, then it is said, last time Li Jiancheng came to the door to pay respects, most of the family members in this mansion have seen Li Jiancheng, and when they saw Li Jiancheng coming, they naturally did not dare to stop them, and naturally they would not stop Wei Zheng who came with Li Jiancheng.
Seeing that Li Haochen's expression was still a little nervous and serious at the moment, Wei Zheng continued: "Haochen, you and I are intersecting in Weimo, I naturally understand your personality, if what I said just now was said by someone else, I will report to Your Majesty without saying a word, and let Your Majesty send someone to arrest you, but it was you Haochen who said it, so I said it." Which one in this court is not a gang, but everyone is not in the open, but is there still less of these small actions in private? If Haochen you have a power in the court, I can be sure that although this power is in your hands, it must serve His Majesty, and at the same time, it can also check and balance other forces in the court, if so, why not? Haochen, you were good just now, but you treated your big brother as an outsider! Saying that, Wei Zheng showed a very angry look.
Li Haochen listened to Wei Zheng's words, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Wei Zheng to actually support him to form his own power in the DPRK, in fact, after thinking about it, Li Haochen figured it out, Wei Zheng is a famous minister, and it is not only the emperor but also his colleagues who are offended by bluntly admonishing him, even if Wei Zheng wants to encircle people, no one wants to be close to him, and at the same time, he is not willing to form any group with people, because once it is a group, the fight is the interest, which will make him shackle when he directly advises, But if he has a DPRK-China force in his hands, then he will definitely help him if he needs anything in the future, so he will agree to form a DPRK-China force by himself, and he still raises his hands in favor.
Seeing that Wei Zheng looked very angry, Li Haochen knew that he was not really angry, so he laughed and said: "I know that the eldest brother is a humble gentleman and has a broad mind, as the so-called prime minister can support the boat in his belly, he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as the younger brother, and besides, what he said just now is a taboo after all, and the younger brother doesn't know what the eldest brother's attitude is, so he naturally has to answer like this!" ”
Wei Zheng was angry but just put on a show, and when he heard Li Haochen's words, he hurriedly came down the steps, nodded at Li Haochen with his hand and said, "You, you, don't take an example!" Next time, I'll cut off my robe with you! He burst out laughing.
Li Haochen also laughed together when he saw this, and people who didn't know thought that something funny had happened in this room, but in fact, it was just two courtiers with different intentions, trying each other to hide the embarrassing atmosphere.
After a while, Wei Zheng stopped laughing, and said solemnly to Li Haochen: "I heard all the three strategies that Mr. Fang gave you just now, I want to know which one of you will choose Brother Haochen?" ”
Li Haochen pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the upper policy expires, and it will harm the people, I will definitely not choose, the next policy will hurt the country and cause an earthquake in the officialdom, I will not choose, the middle policy just can solve the problem and maintain stability, I choose the strategy!" In fact, Li Haochen should not say this to Wei Zheng, even if he said it, he would only say it to Fang Xuanling, a staff member, but just now Wei Zheng expressed his support for him to form a group between the DPRK and China, he naturally has to show some of his sincerity, otherwise it will be difficult for Wei Zheng to support him in the future, he is familiar with history in his previous life, he naturally knows that in this era, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, this is like one plus one and one minus one, the worse than the two is not one but two, and he intersects with Wei Zheng and Wei Mo, he understands that Wei Zheng is a person worthy of his trust, However, trust is trust, and the court is court. It's like a game, no matter what your relationship is outside the game, once you enter the game, you have to abide by the rules of the game.
Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction after listening to Li Haochen's words, as for Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction because of Li Haochen's honesty, or because of Li Haochen's choice, Li Haochen didn't know, or both.
After a while, Wei Zheng spoke: "I heard Mr. Fang say just now, you need someone who is good at judging cases, right?" I don't know if there is a candidate in Haochen's heart? ”
Although Li Haochen was familiar with history in his previous life and knew that celebrities and generals were in his previous life, he really didn't know who was good at judging cases in this era, even if he was clear, at this moment, he couldn't move the famous ministers and magnates in the court, and he couldn't find the hermits and masters outside the court for a while, hearing Wei Zheng ask, he knew that Wei Zheng must have a candidate in his heart, and the ability of the officialdom officials in the current Tang Dynasty was high, so he naturally couldn't compare with Wei Zheng, the courtier, and hurriedly bowed to Wei Zheng and said: "I really don't have a suitable candidate for a while, Please also ask Brother Wei to teach me! ”
Wei Zheng laughed, stroked her goatee and said to Li Haochen very well: "There is a person who is the same as you and me is the prince's official subordinate, the former prince's right prison Sima, moved to Shangluo County in Shangzhou last year, this person's surname is Di Xiaoxu, in the early years, he was known for his resourcefulness, judgment and reasoning in the prince's official subordinates, I have seen his political achievements this year in just one year, he has dealt with the backlog of cases in Shangluo County for many years, and there is no unjust, false and wrongful case!" Haochen thinks this person is how? ”
