And the most surprising thing is that none of the invitations sent out were for officials in the DPRK, when someone asked why, Cai Cong shook his head and said sadly: "It's not benevolent for being rich!" ”

The simple five words make people have unlimited imagination, and those officials and nobles during the Chinese New Year will bring home the wealth of Lingnan one by one, which will donate some money, which will inevitably make people criticize.

"Your Majesty's ministers asked for severe punishment for the Marquis of Chang'an for ruining the reputation of the courtiers, he made a poetry meeting and did not send an invitation to your colleagues, but in front of the people, he complained bitterly that his colleagues were rich and unkind, in the long run, what should the people think of the officials in the court?"

In the early dynasty, Yan Dong hadn't said that he could do anything, Wei Zheng had already been listed, and Cai Cong was not.

"Oh! I have also heard of this poetry club, and I heard that it is very novel, what is it called the Charity Poetry Club, which is to raise funds to help the poor people. The intentions are good, but it is not right to ruin the reputation of others, and those who have been slandered by Cai Cong will come soon, and I will be the master of the others, and I will be severely punished. ”

Li Shimin said majestically, and there was no sound at all quietly below. Who's in charge? The king did not mention any of them by name.

Wei Zheng, the old horseman, likes to find something to do when he has nothing to do, isn't this a big guy to pit everyone?

Someone secretly scolded Cai Cong in his heart, this old man is too unpopular, and Cai Cong didn't name him, so let him go! If you are really named, won't it cost money?

"Wei Qing! No one is making a sound! It's rare that Cai Cong's power is so powerful that no one dares to stand up and speak? Li Shimin said with a smile, how could he not know what was going on.

"Your Majesty, the minister just said it, Cai Cong didn't name him, he slandered the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. He didn't invite any ......."

"Nonsense, this Cai Cong invited me, but I didn't go. What would a Rausch poem be? Or drink wine and eat meat. Wei Chigong said with a yawn, although the day before yesterday he had changed his portrait and pasted it on the door, so he didn't need them to keep vigil, but the jet lag hadn't been reversed, so he would still be sleepy.

Wei Zheng's eyes were cracking, let go of such a knowledgeable Hongru is not invited, please be such a big boss? Bah, I have to open my eyes and talk nonsense, and there must be a limit, do you know how to hold the pen? Wei Zheng roared in his heart, but as soon as Wei Chigong stirred up the situation like this, he couldn't continue, so he could only retreat with a black face.

"Since Cai Cong didn't humiliate the ministers, then this matter is over. This poetry meeting is good, prince, when the time comes, you will go on behalf of me, and when the poetry meeting ends, you will also donate some money and materials, and my Li family will not be willing to be left behind when it comes to doing good deeds. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile, and Li Chengqian hurriedly came out of the queue to say yes. The faces of the officials in the court were dark, Li Shimin sent the prince to go, if they didn't go, they couldn't say it, but it was difficult to go, the poetry club was very strict, and no one could enter without an invitation. Cai Cong is playing a trick on them!

Thinking of this, they were even more unhappy with Wei Zheng, if it weren't for this self-righteous person, who nagged when he had nothing to do, how could they be so passive?

Chang'an in early spring is beautiful, Wei Zheng walked on the street and listened to the sound of the discussion of the poetry club in his ears, he was very irritable, Cai Cong's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants money, but he is most unwilling to see Cai Cong play this kind of heart, in his opinion, money will corrode people's hearts, Cai Cong will be elegant poetry and copper money together, is the first step of moral corrosion.

"If you want me to say it! I have to go early tomorrow to occupy a good position, and I won't talk about the poetry meeting, but the Hibiscus Garden will definitely be full of people tomorrow, and those gentlemen who are reading will definitely go to join in the fun. When the time comes, they will buy the bread for a penny for a penny, you don't know those who read books, they all want to save face in front of their friends, and the bread will be sold out easily. ”

"What the eldest brother said is extreme, the younger brother plans to sell sweet water tomorrow, it seems that he has to sell it at a high price, there are so many fat sheep, I am sorry for myself if I don't slaughter it."

The conversation between the two small vendors on the side of the road made Wei Zheng tremble with anger, when did these stupid people dare to calculate the reader like this? He glared at the two of them fiercely, and made up his mind to let them go back empty-handed tomorrow.

But at this time, he couldn't help it anymore, and went directly to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to find Cai Cong to understand. Xiao Liuzi saw an official coming from a distance and showed his eyes when he saw the fat sheep, but when he saw that it was Wei Zheng clearly, he lay back in his chair and closed his eyes in disappointment.

"Little Liuzi, go and spread the word, just say that the old man has something to do with your lord." Wei Zheng said distressedly, this child's father is also a big hero, and now he is famous for being a porter in Cai's mansion for being greedy for money, in his opinion, it is Cai Cong who has brought the little six sons.

"If you are old, please go home! Hou Ye accompanied the young lady and the little lady to go on a trip to release paper kites today, and only the lady was in the house, so it was inconvenient to meet guests. ”

Xiao Liuzi was bored and buttoned his fingernails, this Chang'an City climbed the gate of Cai's house, even the emperor had been blackmailed by him for a piece of jade pendant, only the Wei Zheng in front of him didn't pay a penny, and he ate the things in his small room back, which made him hate his teeth.

"In that case, the old man is waiting for him in your little room, bring me a cup of hot tea, and I'm thirsty all the way. Well, this pastry is good, I'll wrap some when I'm gone. ”

Wei Zheng walked into the small room with a familiar car, eating and calling Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi is about to cry, can it not be delicious? This is the most expensive pastry sold in his sister Dongzhu's pastry shop, and every day he asks people to queue up early to buy it back, and one piece is the usual money.

"Go and serve the best tea to Lord Wei." Xiao Liuzi said angrily to the other porters, gritting his teeth with hatred for this old man, and wanted to add some ingredients to the tea.

"Come, come here, it's rare to have time, the old man will tell you about the meaning of the scriptures, if you can understand the reason, you don't have to live such a muddy and nightmare life." Wei Zheng was full of food and beckoned to the loveless little six sons.

"The ancestor of your Shi family is also a great master of the Han family, although it is bad and ruined, but the old man can't watch you ruin your grandfather's reputation, come, and listen to the old man talk about loyalty with you."

Xiao Liuzi wanted to die, Wei Zheng said that it was okay, so he grinned and nodded stupidly, no matter what he said, he would treat it as a fart, and the angry Wei Zheng shook his sword and scolded the rotten wood for not being carved.

"Brother Liuzi, do you have a guest here? Yo! It's Lord Wei, junior, do you want to have some delicious candied fruit here? Tang Yi didn't know when he came, he leaned on the door and asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, don't you have to study today?" Wei Zheng asked without raising his eyelids, this Tang Yi is perceptive and has an excellent family style, but he also learned badly with Cai Cong, not only did he mix with the pirate's den, but he also wanted to invite someone to eat food with laxatives when he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to see him anymore.
