August of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Hanjing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Drinking horses on the rivers and lakes, fighting swords to go to the end of the world. The night breeze was blowing, Xue Rengui was dressed in tight black, carrying a long sword, and quietly walked into a grass house on the outskirts of Hanjing.

"Godhead! I am back. ”

In the grass house, a little oil lamp is like a bean.

Ke Qing sat cross-legged on the wooden couch and opened his eyes. "Done?"

"The letter has been sent to the Zheng Guogong Mansion."

He walked up to Ke Qing and knelt down and sat down, "What I don't understand is why I want to give it to Wei Zheng?" ”

Ke Qing smiled, "Two years ago, when you met King Zhao, King Zhao accepted you as an apprentice and became the twelfth martial artist under King Zhao's sect, which can be regarded as a closed door." Do you know why? ”

Xue Rengui shook his head.

When he left Lushun and came to Hanjing, he went to the Zhao Palace, with a sense of worship, to meet Li Chao. I didn't expect to see it, but with anticipation, who knew that the post was handed in, and it was really received by King Zhao in person. After asking him some words, King Zhao offered to accept him as a doorman.

Two years have passed, and every time he thinks about it now, he still feels a little incredulous.

"King Zhao thinks you have spirituality and says that you act decisively." Ke Qingdao, "Among the prime ministers of the DPRK and China, Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng is the more stubborn kind. If we tell other people the news that Qin Wangtai is going back to Beijing, maybe they will pretend not to know, or they won't do anything if they know about it. ”

But Wei Zheng is different, he knows the news, and he will definitely not let it go. Now, we just have to wait and see the show. ”

Xue Li hesitated, but still said, "Actually, there are many ways to intercept Qin Wangtai from entering Beijing, right?" Why do you want Wei Zheng to make a move? ”

"Because only Wei Zheng will make a move, so there will be no extraneous branches!"

Xue Li was thoughtful.

"Rengui, your master has high expectations for you, and I want you to follow me, but I also want you to exercise more. Watch more and learn more in the future! ”

Hankyung.

Zheng Guo Gong's Mansion.

During the meal, Wei Zheng was a little distracted, and hurriedly ate a few bites before putting down the dishes and chopsticks and returning to the study.

Li Lian asked her husband Wei Shuyu, "Is my father unwell today?" ”

"I guess it's a matter of the yamen."

A few years after the couple got married, they now have two sons and a daughter, and their relationship is very harmonious. Wei Shuyu had already served in Guanglu Temple, and he also went to take the imperial examination last year, and as a result, he also successfully obtained the name of Jinshi. Now it has gone further in Guanglu Temple, and now it is the Guanglu Cheng of the six products.

Guanglu Temple is not an important institution, it is a relatively idle yamen, in charge of the royal meals, and also in charge of sacrifices and court meetings.

He doesn't have any big ambitions and is content with his current life. His father was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a prime minister. He is also the Guanglu Cheng of the sixth grade, and he also has the title of the founding marquis, and there is also a fief in northern Liaobei. In the future, he will definitely be able to inherit his father's dukedom, and his marquis title can be passed on to his second son.

The Wei family is not short of money, and his wife brought a huge dowry when she started, and her interest has expanded over the years, which has been tens of thousands of dollars. Not to mention, after he married Lianniang, the Wei family also invested a lot in the Li family's tailwind, and it also made a lot of money.

He didn't care about the ups and downs of the court. Every day, he is also very leisurely, and he goes home immediately when he arrives.

"It is estimated that it is still a matter of that parliament, especially the parliament of the people, and it is difficult to determine the candidates." Wei Shuyu said.

Den.

Wei Zheng looked at the letter and fell into deep thought for a long time.

The housekeeper had already said that the letter was sent by the courier. He asked the housekeeper to find the courier, but the courier was only responsible for delivering letters and mail, so he knew more.

The letter was delivered from the post house.

In recent years, wherever there is a post station in Datang, there must be a post office. The post house was set up by the imperial court, while the post office was privately owned, which was also the property of the Li family.

The postal office is engaged in the delivery of goods and the delivery of private letters, especially the business of the postal office, which is basically small and very fast, and rarely lost, good credit and fast speed. It has expanded rapidly over the years, and now it has spread to more than 200 states in Datang.

The delivery of private letters is also very convenient, and there is no need to ask caravans and the like, especially because of the speed. In the past, it could take several months or even a year to write a letter, but now, it is very convenient and fast, and it often takes ten days and a half to arrive in this way. More distant places, it will not take more than two months.

Even some small goods can be delivered in a very short time by express delivery.

If there is a large amount of goods, it is necessary to entrust the transportation of the car or the freight station.

A letter from the postal office, I don't know who delivered it.

There are stamps and postmarks on the envelope, and this letter was actually sent by Hanjing.

He had already read the contents of the letter.

He did not doubt the contents, for the information contained in the letter was very detailed.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Zheng took the letter into his arms, got up, and went out.

At the door, I met Wei Shuyu, who was reading a book, drinking tea and eating osmanthus cake under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

"Is Father going out?"

"Hmm." Wei Zheng nodded and continued to walk out.

Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of the foreign country, Wei Zheng is actually a little dissatisfied. This son is very smart, or he wouldn't have been able to get into the Jinshi in one imperial examination, but this son is smart and smart, and he also studies knowledge very well, but he is just an indifferent character. Every day, I don't take things seriously in the yamen, and I think about my wife and children every day.

Unpromising.

Going out, getting into the carriage, Wei Zheng went straight to the palace.

In the palace, Li Shimin is teaching Princess Jinyang to write.

Among the three sons and four daughters left by the queen, Princess Jinyang was not the youngest, but because the youngest princess made the emperor's illness worse when she gave birth, he didn't like the younger daughter.

But the three-year-old Princess Jinyang is even more loved by him, and he now raises it by his side, teaching his daughter to read and write every day.

"Your Majesty, Dean Wei asks to see you."

Li Shimin frowned, "What is Wei Zheng doing here?" ”

"Son, you write well here, and my father will talk to Wei Zheng about something."

"Father, is Wei Zheng the old man with a long beard and a fierce one?"

"Hahaha, that's right, Wei Zheng is the old man who has a long beard and then grows so fierce." Li Shimin kissed his daughter and got up.

"Wei Zheng, I just met at the Imperial Council today, and I came to ask to see you, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Wei Zheng had a straight face, "When the minister heard a piece of news, he deliberately entered the palace to ask His Majesty for confirmation. ”

"What is so important that we can't wait until tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Qin Wangtai has passed Chang'an and is about to go to Hanjing, can I ask if there is such a thing?"

Li Shimin was surprised who leaked this rumor.

"Wei Xiang, who did you listen to?"

"The minister only asked His Majesty, yes or no."

In the face of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin was sometimes helpless, this person was stubborn, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back.

"It does."

"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Wei Zheng continued to ask, "According to the system, the prince of the domain is not allowed to leave the domain unless he is edicted, and only after the middle of October every year can he leave the domain and enter the Beijing Dynasty, and he must leave Hanjing before February every year." It's only August now, and the King of Qin is about to enter Beijing, may I ask, why doesn't the central government know anything about this matter? ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, did King Qin leave the domain without permission?"

"It was I who sent someone to take the King of Qin back to Beijing." Li Shimin's face sank.

"Your Majesty, the edict is not central, and it is not stamped with the seal of the Chinese book, so it is an informal edict, but only for the middle decree. The imperial court had the right to order the king of Qin to be intercepted and ordered to return to the fiefdom immediately. Wei Zheng said stiffly.

Li Shimin was furious.

"I miss Qin Wangtai, can't I want to meet him?"

"Your Majesty has three sons in the Western Regions, why do you want to see Li Tai alone? And once a year, the pilgrimage is not enough for His Majesty to meet father and son? Even if you want to see it, you can also issue an edict in a dignified and upright scripture center, why do you secretly go to take the King of Qin into Beijing? ”

"Wei Zheng, pay attention to what you say!"

Li Shimin was annoyed and angry, his face was swollen and red, and he already wanted to beat someone.

"The state has national rules, and the family has its own laws. Although Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, you can't trample on the law. Otherwise, where is the authority of the law? ”

"Stand down!" Li Shimin said coldly.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear, but the minister still doesn't vomit and is unhappy!"

"Shut up and get out!" Li Shimin roared.

"Minister..."

"Get out!"

Wei Zheng had no choice but to retreat, and the emperor had already gone berserk at this time, and he couldn't listen to anything. But he also knew that he had just stabbed the emperor in the sore spot.

Although neither of them mentioned the crown prince in their words just now, both of them knew that the King of Qin secretly returned to Beijing at this time, why did he come. This must be for the crown prince, even if the emperor does not say that the prince will be changed soon, but to bring the king of Qin back and stay in the capital, this is also an extremely bad signal.

Wei Zheng refused to let this step.

And Li Shimin was angry that Wei Zheng's refusal to give in, which was not only Wei Zheng's attitude, but also the attitude of other ministers.

After Wei Zheng left the palace, he went directly to the Liang State Mansion to find Fang Xuanling, and after a while, the two prime ministers went to the Wei State Mansion to find the eldest grandson Wuji.

"When will King Qin enter Beijing?"

"I got the news that King Qin will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow." Wei Zhengdao.

Fang Xuanling was worried, "At this time, when Qin Wangtai enters Beijing, where will he put the prince?"

"You can't let Li Tai enter Beijing." The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said, Cheng Qian and Li Tai are his own nephews, his sister has passed away, and he has the responsibility to take care of their brothers. But now, he had to choose one of two nephews.

The eldest grandson Wuji did not hesitate to choose Chengqian.

Not only because Cheng Qian is the eldest son, but also because he has been the prince for thirteen years and has had several prison experiences, although he is still a little immature, he has revealed many excellent qualities.

The crown prince has grown up, and the eighteen-year-old prince has been recognized by the government and the opposition. In the future, the successor will inherit the throne, and everyone feels that it is more reliable.

It's not a question of whether Li Tai is good or not, but everyone won't come to this point at all.

Wei Zheng said slowly, "Tomorrow, we will lead hundreds of officials to intercept the King of Qin outside the city, not allow him to enter the capital, and let him return to the Western Regions the same way!" ”

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji nodded together.
