Chapter 51: Clichés
Li Tai, the king of Wei, is brilliant, clever and fickle, and is a natural and excellent actor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He is polite and respectful at all times, and he is deeply loved by Tang Taizong, and he has also won the support of scholars.
Before Li Shimin became emperor, he was the king of Qin. In his palace of the king of Qin, a literary museum was set up, and now, he approved the establishment of a similar literary museum in the palace of the king of Wei.
Through the Literature Museum, there are as many as 130 civil officials who support Li Tai, and they are powerful.
In Li Tai's study, surrounded by his sworn friend Wang Qi of the Zuo Shilang (the first deputy Shangshu, Zheng Erpin), the right Shilang (the second Shangshu, Zheng Erpin) Yan Liben of the Criminal Department, Du Wei, a member of the Ministry of Officials Wailang (from the fifth grade), and Ma Qianli of the Yushi Tai Yushi Niu Lu (from the fourth pin) who impeached Li Su last time.
Li Tai's group is all civilian officials, on the one hand, because the scope of his contacts has no intersection with military attachés. On the other hand, he also deliberately avoided contact with military attachés.
This idea was given to him by Wang Jue.
Wang Qi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, once served as the master of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and was Li Tai's main adviser. He has a deep foresight and believes that under the leadership of Tang Taizong, the Tang Dynasty is about to enter a long-term era of peace.
King Wei is still young now, and he will inevitably catch up with this situation. Li Shimin is going to fight the world immediately, and what he is most taboo about is that others support the army and respect themselves. Therefore, Li Tai did not associate with military attachés, and he was precisely trusted by Tang Taizong.
Heavyweights are generally the last to appear, and Wang Jue will not speak first.
Niu Lu has always been a pioneer, and he said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supports the Ministry of Industry to sell carriages, and the research institute is also involved. The minister felt that there was something wrong with it.
First, the Ministry of Industry has always carried out the orders of the imperial court, carrying out construction and maintenance affairs, and they have never been directly involved in business activities.
Second, merchants were allowed to purchase luxury carriages, breaking the boundaries of the Tang hierarchy.
These two things, in the opinion of the minister, are both serious crimes, do you think they need to be impeached? ”
Yan Liben, the right attendant of the Criminal Department (Zheng Erpin), said: "Lord Niu is worthy of being a senior imperial history, his vision is really poisonous, and he sees the problem to the point!" ”
Niu Lu said modestly: "Don't dare to be, Lord Xie Yan praised it." ”
Yan Liben continued: "I agree with Lord Niu's opinion on this matter, the two points he chose are very good. The Ministry of Industry has increased the income of the Ministry of Industry by selling horse-drawn carriages, and this incident will definitely make other departments jealous. Also, untouchables such as merchants can also ride in luxury carriages, which will also make many people dissatisfied. Impeachment will definitely make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uncomfortable. ”
Li Tai was also very happy, and he said: "The prince is always full of loopholes in his work, I really don't know what his strategists are doing. ”
Li Tai is very good at talking, and this sentence immediately made his close friends happy. Yan Liben, Niu Lu and others will also be funny, and said, "Your Highness Xie praises." ”
After Li Tai finished speaking, he found that Wang Qi, the left attendant of the Master's Rite Department, did not speak, so he asked, "Master, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Wang Jue, who is 51 years old this year, is frowning and holding a goatee. After pondering for a long time, he said: "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Fu Rui is not a person of Meng Lang, besides, there is the old fox eldest grandson Wuji behind them, this matter, the loophole is too obvious, it is better to investigate it clearly, and then make plans." ”
Li Tai nodded and said, "What Master said makes sense, let's send more people to inquire and find a way to find out the details." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Du Wei: "Isn't your brother Du He in that research institute?" Try to get some of them from him. ”
Du Wei said: "Since the separation, we haven't moved around for a long time, and I'm afraid this matter is difficult. ”
Li Tai said: "After all, you are brothers, you go and try it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, I'll inquire from other places." ”
Du Wei said: "Okay, go and try it." ”
In the evening of the same day. Du Gou came to Du Ho's mansion located in the 14th square of Huatai Street.
After Du Ruhui's death, Du Gou and Du He were half-brothers, and when they separated, Du Gou was the eldest son of his relatives, and the original Du Ruhui's Guogong Mansion was left to Du Gou. In the Du Mansion Courtyard in the 14th square of Huatai Street, it was left to Du He's mother and son.
Du He's mother and son's mansion is about one-fifth the size of Du Go's Guogong Mansion compared to Du Go's Guogong Mansion. Du Gou's mother and son didn't do too much, so they subsidized some money to Du He's mother and son.
Du He came to Du He's house with some gifts and met Du He's mother, Liu. Seeing that Du He was not at home, he accompanied Liu to chat and wait for Du He.
Soon after, Duho returned.
In the Tang Dynasty, the children in the family, the distinction of status is divided into concubines and concubines, and the gap between them is huge.
Du Ruhui's family situation is special, just these two sons, therefore, the relationship between the two people is still a little bit.
When Du Gou saw Du He coming back, he greeted him and said, "The second brother is back." ”
Seeing that it was him, Du He said lukewarmly, "You are here." ”
Du He's mother, Liu, said, "You brothers talk, I'll go back to the room first." ”
Before Du Wei came, he had already thought about how to deal with Du He, and he hurriedly said: "Erniang, please stay for a while, I have something to say to you." ”
Liu had no choice but to sit down and listen to him.
Du Wei said: "Erniang, second brother." Recently, the second brother has been very promising, and he already has an official position, I am very happy for you, congratulations, congratulations. ”
Du He was a child after all, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard the praise of his brother who had always been a cow fork. He said, "It's nothing, it's not as good as you." ”
Du Wei asked, "What is your research institute for, I'm curious?" ”
Du He was in the research institute, and as soon as he entered the door every day, he could see the confidentiality code posted on the wall, and when he heard Du Wei's words, he immediately became alert, and he said, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Oh, nothing. I've only heard that someone is going to do you badly, so I'm here to warn you. Du Wei saw that he was defensive, and changed his words and said.
"Huh? Who wants to be bad for He'er? Liu asked in surprise.
Du Wei said: "I heard that the second brother's research institute is not doing business, and what kind of business is making money, and there is a royal history to impeach them." Erniang, the second brother doesn't go to school well and engages in crooked ways, how can it go on like this? ”
When Du He heard this, he said unhappily: "Mother, don't listen to his nonsense, he is not doing his job." ”
Du Wei said: "What can your institute do? Isn't it just like those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, what can they do? ”
"He'er, isn't your institute the one that will be the supervisor (the agency that directly manages the craftsmen)? That's really unproductive. Liu said.
"Look at it, even Erniang said so." Du Wei continued to choke on fire.
Du He was anxious.
