Chapter 50 A Few Little Things About Wei Zheng
It seems that the eighth year of Zhenguan is about to come to an end, and there are really a lot of lively things in Chang'an City this year, there are more chimneys for heating, and some of the streets and alleys of Chang'an have begun to be paved with cement. Iron pipes www.biquge.info also became popular, and of course, high-speed and agile four-wheeled carriages became the fashion standard of high society.
However, towards the end of the year, the stories that spread among the upper class were basically about Wei Zheng and His Majesty Li Er.
The first thing is His Majesty's family affairs, and it seems that Wei Zheng is planning to inquire about all kinds of affairs of His Majesty the Emperor.
Here's the thing, His Majesty Li Er is ready to personally hire the daughter of Zheng Renji, the former Sui Dynasty generalist, as the full glory of the harem, this edict has been issued, and the canonized messenger is about to set off, which is still out of the moth.
Wei Zheng heard that she had promised to marry Lu Shuang, a member of the family, in the past, and she had always regarded herself as a minister, not to mention that Wei Zheng, who is now serving as a servant, immediately went to the court to admonish this matter.
When Taizong heard this, he was greatly surprised, and he wrote an edict to blame himself and ordered him to be canonized.
This Fang Xuanling and the others are naturally not stupid, the emperor wants to marry a wife, and if there is something to do with the officials of the imperial court, for the sake of His Majesty Li Er's face, he played and said: "It is said that she has married the Lu family, there is no clear evidence, the canonization gift has been implemented, and it should not be abandoned halfway." ”
This Lu Shuang is not a fool, His Majesty Li Er wants to marry his own daughter, which is not necessarily a good thing, but if he does not marry this daughter, it must be a bad thing, so he also said that there is such a thing, but there was no agreement to marry Zheng Nu at first.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er said to the nosy Wei Weizheng: Fang Xuanling and other ministers may be catering to the will, for the sake of my face and the majesty of the court, but this Lu Shuang himself also confessed, why is this?
Wei Zheng replied: "Lu Shuang may feel that although His Majesty has given up on the surface, he may secretly want to blame, so he has to do this. ”
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "For outsiders, if you look at it like this, what I say can't make people believe it!" ”
This matter was solved in this way, firstly, it set off the magnanimity of His Majesty Li Er, and secondly, this Wei Zheng is a real mourning star, this Zheng family is willing to marry their daughter to the Lu family, but the attitude of the Lu family is really a little hehe.
If this matter is just to say that Wei Zheng likes to meddle with some things, but this other thing is even more interesting.
Here's the thing, His Majesty Li Er planned to build a palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital of one of the three capitals, and another nosy Zhongmu County Emperor Fu Deshen jumped out.
Huangfu Deshen said in the book: Build the Luoyang Palace, and work hard for the people; collect land rent and increase the amount; Fashionable women like to wear high buns, which is influenced by the palace.
Isn't this to find His Majesty Li Er's unpleasantness, which onion do you Huangfu Deshen count, so His Majesty Li Er, who has always been good-tempered, finally became furious, and said to Fang Xuanling and others: "Do you Huangfu Deshen plan to want the country not to enslave a person, not to charge a bucket of land rent, and the palace maids to keep their hair, so as to follow his thoughts!" ”
originally planned to treat him for the crime of slandering the court, but Fang Xuanling and others only promised and did not make any achievements in this. At this time, the nosy Wei Zheng advised again: "When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was in power, Jia Yi wrote and said: 'There is one thing to cry for it, and two things to cry for it. Since ancient times, if the words of the book are not intense, they cannot touch the heart of the king, and the so-called madman's words have been chosen by the sage, hoping that His Majesty will make a clear judgment. ”
Although he didn't say anything to exonerate Huangfu Deshen, His Majesty Li Er was not a fool after all, and he generally understood this kind of thing as soon as he heard this.
So he said to Wei Zheng and a cadre of ministers at the court meeting: "If I blame people like Huangfu Deshen who tell the truth and dare to speak out, then who will dare to speak in the future!" ”
The matter then had a dramatic ending, His Majesty Li Er not only did not blame Huangfu Deshen, but gave Huangfu Deshen twenty silks in recognition of Huangfu Deshen's outspokenness.
It seems that there should be a happy ending here, but the nosy Wei Zheng still doesn't seem to be satisfied. After a few days of this incident, the nosy Wei Zheng found another opportunity to meet His Majesty Li Er.
This time Wei Zheng said this: "I wonder if Your Majesty has been in good health in the past few days? ”
His Majesty Li Er didn't understand what Wei Zheng meant, so he said, "It's been good lately?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "I think Your Majesty's liver fire has been a little strong recently. ”
His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "Oh, when did this Wei Shizhong learn medical skills from Daochang Sun?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty doesn't like to speak outright lately, even if you are reluctant to tolerate it, you are not as open-minded as in the past. I thought that Your Majesty had been a little hot lately, and he was a little unwell. ”
His Majesty Li Er was choked by Wei Zheng on the spot, and waved his hand to let Wei Zheng go down.
Although this Wei Zheng is gone, His Majesty Li Er understands what Wei Zheng means, so the edict soon came down, and Tai first gave another generous reward to Huangfu Deshen, and at the same time let Huangfu De Counselor worship and supervise the imperial history.
The matter would have been finished here, but Wei Zheng's purpose was not Huangfu Deshen, a deputy county magistrate and director of the public security bureau still couldn't attract the attention of the prime minister, and Wei Zheng's purpose was to build a palace in Luoyang.
Huangfu Deshen, as a county magistrate, is second to the county order, is the second-in-command in a county, he dares to "go beyond the level to sue", and directly pointed to the supreme emperor in the world, can be described as "moral and righteous, prudent and clear". Of course, the role of Wei Zheng in this is not small, and they met the magnanimity of His Majesty Li Er, which are all important reasons for the achievement of Huangfu Deshen.
At this time, many families were flooded in Shaanxi and Henan due to heavy rains, so Tang Taizong stopped the construction of Luoyang Palace, sent spare materials to the flooded places, and helped farmers repair their houses. And the people praised it.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the eldest grandson, who is walking at this time.
The matter about the salt lake in Saikaido has finally come to an end, and Chang'an City has ushered in the first snow of the year. There was a solemn atmosphere between heaven and earth, and Lishan not far away was also wrapped in a white carpet.
The eldest grandson came out of this side door and entered a huge complex near the Xinfeng Hou Mansion, and the atmosphere here was undoubtedly particularly lively in this silent and cold world.
There is a huge chimney not far from here, and Changsun Tang had already used cast iron pipes to make the heating of this place and the Hou Mansion a centralized heating method before leaving Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
