Chapter 116: Surge
Li Wenjin is the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, holding great power, while Li Wei is just an idle earl, in his heart, he is actually very afraid of his son, seeing that he exonerated Zhang You, he had the heart to refute a few words, but he didn't dare, so he could only rub his hands and say:
"That's it...... By the way, your sister's illness is okay, right? ”
"Youzi Cheng is here, and he has been completely healed a long time ago," Li Wenjin was really defeated by his father, and said a little angrily, his face was already a little impatient: "Dad, what the hell, what do you say?" In a hurry, "Dad" popped up.
"Your brother told me this, my tongue is short, I can't tell the innocence, the dog is leftover, or you say it!"
Gou Yu is Li Wenquan's nickname, and it doesn't matter on weekdays, but now Zhang You is on the side, hearing Li Wei call him like this again, it makes him a little panicked, and he glanced at his father dissatisfied, and complained: "Old man, the child is also a dignified brocade and a thousand households, and a five-grade official, can't you leave me some dignity?" ”
"Wen Quan makes sense, father, you have this problem, the Queen Mother has also said that you have been many times, right? Just don't change. ”
Li Wei said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, Zicheng is not an outsider, if it weren't for him this time, your sister would be in danger." ”
He only remembered it now, Zhang You couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that it would be good if he could test DNA, Li Wenjin and Li Caifeng specified that they were not born to this old man.
Seeing that he couldn't get to the point after talking for a long time, Li Wenjin patiently asked Li Wenquan: "Hurry up and get down to business, what is the matter?" Our family has to warn you first, the emperor's grace is vast, and it is not thin for our Li family, if you have any thoughts, it is best not to mention it! ”
Don't look at Li Wenquan calling eagles and chasing dogs outside, but he was very afraid of Li Wenjin, he shrunk his neck when he heard this, and boldly retorted: "Don't you just want to raise our father to the next level, how can you say that it is not a matter of thought?" ”
The earl is a marquis at the next level, which can be hereditary, and Li Wenjin has no queen, and it is impossible to attack the lord, which is the source of his courage.
Li Wenjin's eyebrows twisted into a big pimple: "Didn't you mention this matter in the early years, why did you bring it up again?" ”
At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng tried his best to dispel public opinion and violated the etiquette system to add the title of "Cisheng" to the Empress Dowager Li, which was a special case, which made many officialdom speculators smell the smell, so Wang Xilie, who was sometimes the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead, and called on the imperial court to make Li Wei a marquis in the name of "father and daughter", but unfortunately it was resolutely rejected by Empress Dowager Li, and finally failed.
"Before, our nephew ascended the throne not long ago, the foundation is not stable, your sister doesn't agree, I won't say anything, now my nephew has long been pro-government, internal and external submission, no longer afraid of others chewing the tongue * head, right?"
Seeing that Li Wei was right, Li Wenjin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Isn't this bad now?" There are thousands of acres of land to enjoy, so why bother to embarrass the emperor and the queen mother? Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and his tone was slightly heavier: "Look at Wang Wei, the eternal uncle, that is the father of the old empress dowager of Zhenggong Rensheng, and I didn't listen to him arguing for a marquis?" ”
Empress Dowager Chen is the empress of the main palace of the first emperor Muzong, legally speaking, she is the empress dowager of the Eight Classics, and Li Caifeng's empress dowager is just stained with Zhu Yijun's light, according to the etiquette system, even if she is Zhu Yijun's biological mother, in front of the Empress Dowager Chen, she is still half a level lower.
Li Wei couldn't hear Li Wenjin's voice, and retorted: "That's different, who let her daughter not give birth to a son......"
"Father," seeing that Li Wei was getting more and more unspeakable, Li Wenjin had to interrupt him, and said earnestly: "The highest rank of the national ruler is the earl, which is formulated by the imperial court. My sister told me about this, since you have brought up the old things again, I will simply tell you clearly, Earl, it is already the top, you want to be on an equal footing with the Hou Chengguo of Dingxi, and their ancestors are either the founding fathers of the country, or the heroes of Jingnan, what are our ancestors doing? Our ancestors farmed, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, we would still be farming! ”
Li Wei was angered by Li Wenjin's words, and said with a stalk on his neck: "What's wrong with the farmer?" The farmer gave birth to a good daughter, and the daughter's son became the emperor. As the saying goes, overnight steamed buns are not fragrant, they are just relying on the remnants of their ancestors, one to eat is two hundred years, they are allowed to eat, why not our Li family is allowed to eat? ”
"The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, just because the emperor is your nephew, we should set an example!"
"The law of the land is not determined by our nephew? He is the emperor, and he will make me a marquis, so there are still people who dare to chew their tongues? ”
"It's true that the nephew is the emperor, don't forget, there is also the imperial history, and the official. Shi Zongye Chongdao, led a group of demons to make the big inner smoke miasma, what was the result, out of a sea pen frame (Hai Rui), carrying the coffin to the court, a letter of sparse, the dog scolded by Shi Zongye blood. Now that Master Shi is gone, how many people can think of him, but when it comes to Hai Rui, everyone in the world gives him a thumbs up, what is this? This is the will of the people! You don't want our family to be poked in the back by someone, do you? ”
"I don't understand these big truths you said, I only know that the people who proposed to me this time are those officials!"
"Oh?" Li Wenjin was stunned: "Who are they?" ”
"Yushi Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, Wei Yunzhen in the Criminal Division, and Qiu Hu (Yinshun) in the Military Division, are all famous officials, last night the four of them went to the house together, saying that our nephew is blessed all over the world, and he has made great contributions to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there is no lack of merit for his sister, and it is reasonable to say that it is not too much to give our father a duke, not to mention a marquis......
Li Wenjin's brows became higher and higher, he entered the palace in the first year of Mu Zong, and his intriguing inner court career cultivated his keen political sense, through Li Wenquan's narration, he smelled the smell of conspiracy, but he was not sure what Li Zhi's purpose was in instigating his father's struggle, if it was a simple stammer, I was afraid that they would be instructed by others and have ulterior motives.
This matter must be discussed with Empress Dowager Li, in terms of political acumen, he still admires his sister very much.
Thinking of this, he had to interrupt Li Wenquan, who was talking about himself, and said: "The promotion of the earl is not a trivial matter, even if there is support from the officials, you have to be cautious. In this way, you go back first, and our family will go to the palace to discuss with the Queen Mother. ”
"Is this like a word," Li Wei finally nodded with satisfaction: "Your sister listens to you, and our nephew also respects you, whether this can be done or not has to fall on your head." ”
"Do your best, boy!" Li Wenjin was unwilling to refuse Li Wei in person, and he couldn't tell him about some things, so he could only be perfunctory.
After seeing Li Wei and Li Wenquan leave, Li Wenjin suddenly asked Zhang You: "Zicheng, what do you think of this matter?" ”
