Volume 7 Chapter 42 The Scourge of Greed [Fourth Update]

"Damn, who said the sun doesn't shine in spring? Look at my skin, I'm about to catch up with the snake! Hey...... Son, don't move, it hurts! Girl, come, come and help Dad, it won't hurt. ”

Spring is brilliant, the sun is shining, the temperature is not hot or cold, it should be the best time, but this kind of season to go to the wild for a week in a row, or Wei Yan is not often in the sun, it is almost dry, the whole person, the skin exposed outside is black, not to mention, there is a slight sunburn, began to peel. Lift up a thin layer of dead skin, and gently grind, you can tear a large piece, revealing blood-red tender skin, which is hot and painful.

When he went out with his hat on, there was no damage to the brim of the hat, and the place where the brim could not cover was the miserable situation mentioned above. Wei Yan thinks that if he dismantles his trouser legs and tans his legs for balance, he can play the role of a national treasure panda.

Wei Yan is so miserable, Xie Jiu is not good to go there, he runs around in a carriage every day, and has to take care of two children, although he has a servant with him to help, but he is a lot haggard, and his waist is sore, as soon as he gets home, he climbs on the kang and hums, and asks Wei Yan to massage her waist.

"How long will this kind of day pass? I almost couldn't hold it anymore. ”

Xie Jiu endured the pain in his body and sighed faintly. Wei Yan looked very distressed, this sister has never suffered much since she was a child, and she has always come almost smoothly, even if she met a fiancΓ© she didn't like, her family didn't force her, let her suffer anything, all the hardships were tasted after crossing. If the old man is here, I don't know if he will chase the guard with leather shoes and decorate the street, so that the servant knows why the small pot is made of iron and why the flowers are so red.

"What are you thinking? Don't be cranky, I'm fine, but I'm not used to riding in a carriage. Tomorrow I will change to horseback riding, which is considered a sport and can exercise my body. ”

After being together for a long time, I also know each other's personalities. Xie Jiu knew what he was thinking just by looking at Wei Yan's expression. Wei Yan smiled and lay down. When the Qilin twins saw their parents lying down, they also laughed and lay down, occasionally naughtily taking their parents' bodies as obstacles, and the two siblings played a game of obstacle racing, which was never tired.

Wei Xie and the two didn't care about the children's play, they just paid attention not to fall off the kang, and the two chatted. Wei Yan said: "I've also figured it out in the past few days, if it's someone else." Uncle Li won't tell us to avoid suspicion, he must have something to do with us, play the method of elimination, and then contact us to know the history, who is about to come out. ”

Xie Jiu sighed and said, "I also guessed who it was, so I tried to cooperate as much as possible." It seems that he was too squeamish in the past, and now he can't bear any hardship, okay, I have to learn from Wei Yan in the future! ”

Seemed to be excited clenched his fist and raised it it was rare for xie jiu children's shoes to show the humor and liveliness of the people once, and he couldn t help but give face, so. Wei Yan slapped his palms a few times meaningfully, which can be regarded as a pleasure in suffering.

Complaining is complaining, under the tide of the imperial court, under the wheel of history. I don't want to be drowned by the tide, I don't want to be crushed by the wheels of history, sometimes I have to sacrifice something, or compromise, there is no way, this is life. Who made Wei Yan not a tyrant who crossed the male protagonist, he was just an ordinary little surgeon.

It's normal to complain. Hard work is due. In order to clear yourself. There's no way around it. How should life be lived, but how to live. After "loving" the sun father-in-law in the wild for more than half a month, Wei Yan was transferred back by two official documents. Tomorrow morning, all the officials of the cultural relics are required to participate, and Wei Yan has to go to the court.

Early in the morning, I got up before dawn, put on the official uniform that I hadn't worn for a long time, and went to the court with a sunburned and black face. When I got the Tai Chi Palace, I was confronted by people who kept looking at Wei Yan and smiling, Wei Yan didn't blush, and he was serious, he hugged his fists and saluted when he saw someone, and he said whatever he had to say, which was naturally like visiting his garden.

"Master Wei, your face is ......" met the colleague who had just arrived, asked curiously, and then paid close attention, it seems that the officials of the medical school are all this virtue. Wei Yan was straightforward and said very naturally: "It's nothing, isn't this taking students out to the field to observe medicinal herbs and do some research, for work, for study, this little change is okay, it's okay, everything is for work, isn't it?" ”

The person who came gave a thumbs up and boasted: "Master Wei is high-spirited, diligent and hardworking, self-sacrificing for the public, and a model for my generation." ”

Wei Yan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating faster and he smiled: "It should be, it should be, who called us all officials of the imperial court, if we don't work hard, we can't serve the court, and we can't be loyal to Your Majesty, right?" This adult should also have the same general idea as Zaixia, which is within his bounds, so there is no need to boast about it, otherwise, he will have no place to be ashamed. ”

The flickering of the face that does not change color, the blowing conch that does not change the face, blowing for a while, His Majesty Li Er finally came, the morning officially began, after the routine questioning, His Majesty Li Er said: "Yesterday, the Imperial Historical Observatory presented me with a sparse note, which is about the results of the investigation of the military department, Junji, you come and see." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Huang's father-in-law took the sparse music from His Majesty Li Er's hand and handed it to Hou Junji. Hou Junji also has a bit of a general's demeanor at this moment, his face remains unchanged, he just took it respectfully, and looked at it with a sullen head, but the content written on the sparse music made his face more and more pale, and his expression was dejected, so he respectfully presented the sparse performance and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

His Majesty Li Er snorted, glared at Hou Junji, and said: "My Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and many of the ministers in the palace have fought the world since I was a teenager, and they have come all the way with blood and fire, and they have all suffered when they are suffering, why do you still have to do such things if it is peaceful today?" Wei Zheng said to me, be prepared for danger in times of peace, I still don't believe it, now, it can be regarded as a bell for me, Junji, you have followed me for a long time, you have made great achievements, and I have repeatedly rewarded your family, why have I treated you poorly, I have treated you like this, but you have repaid me with this, why not? ”

Hou Junji kowtowed heavily on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, it's the minister who is sorry for Your Majesty, and it's the minister who has lived up to Your Majesty's high hopes." It's just that after the first battle of Gaochang Kingdom, after the city was broken, many treasures were captured, and the ministers led the army outside, and stabilizing the morale of the army should be the first priority. The seized land and property, all the sergeants saw it in their eyes, the army's spirit fluctuated, and the ministers wanted to stabilize the army's heart. I have no choice but to divide the treasure, please Your Majesty Mingjian. ”

"Really?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't see the thoughts in his heart on his face, Hou Junji gritted his teeth fiercely and bit his heart. His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly and said, "Junji, I am also a soldier who has led soldiers, and it is indeed a taboo for the army's heart to fluctuate." There is also a big taboo in the army, what does Junji know? ”

Hou Junji didn't dare to look up at His Majesty Li Er. Bowing his head, he kowtowed heavily and said, "Please teach Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't speak, but stared at Hou Junji for a while, and suddenly threw the sparse music in his hand to Hou Junji, and said in a deep voice: "Read it out!" ”

Hou Junji's face changed. Picking up the sparse music, he read it quietly, the voice was so small that no one heard what it was saying except for the few people who were close to him. His Majesty Li Er said: "The voice is louder, how can such a thin voice be like that of a general leading the army!" β€œ

"Yes. Your Majesty. ”

Hou Junjidi's voice finally became louder, but all he read was classical Chinese, at the current level of Wei Yan. If he can understand the general meaning, as long as he is not allowed to translate sentence by sentence, he will have no problem. After listening to the sparse music, it is said that when Hou Junji set out to conquer the country of Gaochang, when he entered Gaochang after the war, he appointed officials privately without inviting the imperial court, and plundered a large number of treasures and women privately. In order to block the mouths of his soldiers. Conniving at his subordinates to steal and plunder. Now that it has been reported by a department, it coincides with the storm of clean government. It can only be said that Ya is unlucky to get home. The leading soldiers have fought so many battles, why did they do it out of line this time?

Wei Yan was secretly sighing, but the ministers had already gasped when they heard it, and there were many discussions. His Majesty Li Er looked at Hou Junji with a straight face, and after everyone quieted down, His Majesty Li Er said: "I am also the one who brought the troops over, I know that for the stability of the army's morale, in order to reward those who have made meritorious contributions, to encourage morale, there are rules for rewarding the battle, but it is incompatible with military law to plunder property, women, and conniving at the looting of his soldiers!" ”

Speaking of the back, His Majesty Li Er was almost violent, looking at Hou Junji with a sad expression, Hou Junji only knew that he had a white face, and kept kowtowing to apologize. His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "Junji, you know that your name is on the list of this check, I am heartbroken, it hurts!" ”

Hou Junji cried: "Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, the minister should not be indignant for a while, do something wrong, please give your majesty the guilt, the minister will never dare to have any complaints." ”

"Well, this is my loyal servant

His Majesty Li Er just shook his head and sighed, just let Hou Junji kneel, and continued to talk about the following things, and when the court meeting was over, Xiao Huang Gonggong came over and said, "Hou Junji and Wei Yan will stay, and the rest of the Qing family will retreat first." ”

Wei Yan was stunned, he didn't do anything, he didn't participate in anything, why did he leave him behind?! In other words, Hou Junji's mistakes have nothing to do with him. Wei Yan wondered here, Hou Junji couldn't stand at all because he had been kneeling for a long time, Xiao Huang's father-in-law called two guards to help him walk towards the Lizheng Palace, Wei Yan followed silently, and there was no chance to ask Xiao Huang's father-in-law, so he could only follow in with his head down.

When I got the Lizheng Palace, I saw His Majesty Li Er with his hands behind his back, looking up at the outside, with a pensive look, and when Wei Yan and Hou Jun gathered in, His Majesty Li Er turned around and said slowly: "Give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yan was the old god, and in line with the natural guidelines, he found a seat and sat down. Hou Junji ignored the pain, knelt down consciously, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, and he has failed His Majesty, so he doesn't dare to sit." ”

His Majesty Li Er let out another long sigh, stared at Hou Junji for a while, and said, "Junji, you resent me, right?" ”

Hou Junji was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't dare, Your Majesty, the minister never dares to resent Your Majesty, Your Majesty's great kindness to the minister, the minister seems to be not enough to repay one, how dare the minister resent Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled bitterly and said, "Don't dare, it's not that you won't, right?" Because of Wei Yan's relationship, do you think that I favor Wei Yan and do not uphold justice for your unjustly killed son-in-law, and even when you return with military achievements, you will protect Wei Yan and not give you a chance to take revenge, causing your daughter to become a widow at a young age, right? ”

Wei Yan suddenly realized, and then he understood why he wanted to stay. Hou Junji's eyes were shocked, and he didn't even dare to say that he would not resent His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er just snorted and said: "Whether it's true or false, Jun Ji, you have followed me through ups and downs for so many years, what kind of character I have, what kind of character you are, we all know each other, if you don't say it, I also know that you are resenting me!" ”

Hou Junji was silent, gritted his teeth, and made a default. His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "When you connived at the Helan family's imp at the city gate to shoot Wei Yan, I told you that Helan Chushi deserves to die, and his death is all self-inflicted, and has nothing to do with Wei Yan, because of some reason, I can't say it to you. But you obviously didn't take it to heart, and you were angry with Wei Yan and repeatedly plotted to kill him. Wei Yan has been wronged many times for this matter, and even almost lost his life, but he has no complaints, every time you want to murder him, he tries his best to dodge, never complains or complains to me, only bears it silently. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a weighty father-in-law, supported by Li Ji and others, I was afraid that Wei Yan would have died under your plot, and today, I left the two of you behind to let both of you understand. ”

Wei Yan hurriedly plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, please think carefully. The stakes are very high, everything that the minister has experienced does not matter, after all, the minister is still unharmed so far, with the support of His Majesty, his father-in-law, Uncle Li, etc., General Hou's so-called murder is not established. ”

It's about Prince Chengqian, it's not about selfishness or public intentions, His Majesty Li Er has tried his best to hide it for so long, if he says it now, Wei Yan doesn't think it's appropriate, and he doesn't think it's a good thing.

Hou Junji glared at Wei Yan hatefully, gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really didn't resent Your Majesty, the minister just hated Wei Yan." The beloved daughter married Helan Chushi, they are also a loving husband and wife, when the minister went out, the two of them also saw off the minister together, and when they came back, they faced the ground but the daughter's tears, crying, the son-in-law died, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, so how can the courtier's affection be embarrassed? Your Majesty, the minister is fighting all the year round, and he gathers less with his family on weekdays, and he is most sorry for his old wife and daughter. ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed, waved his hand, and asked someone to press Hou Junji into the prison. Wei Yan watched silently, and did not speak, seeing that His Majesty Li Er was full of sadness, he did not persuade, but just accompanied him silently. His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wei Yan, closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Wei Yan, why don't you persuade me not to be sad today?" ”
