Chapter 199: Loach [Ask for Recommendation!] 】
Although Wei Hong has made great contributions, Wei Hong's identity is just a household marquis, to put it nicely, he is a household marquis, in fact, there is no difference between him and a commoner. Even if it is an exceptional promotion, there must be a limit, and it is directly promoted from no rank to the county earl on the fourth grade, such a large-span promotion, the only case in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, even if a great general who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time has made great contributions on the battlefield, the reward is calculated according to the money, usually tens of thousands of dollars, or hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels when calculated. And now Comrade Lao Li opened his mouth with 100,000 taels of silver. In addition to the money, there were 5,000 horses of silk, 100 acres of fertile land, and even two horses of sweat and blood from the Western Regions. This great reward is unprecedented, and it is secretly fascinating.
More than eighty percent of the officials present had prejudices about this reward, but when they thought of the relationship between Comrade Lao Li and Wei Hong, they did not dare to bring it up in person. All of them swept their eyes to several important ministers, waiting for the important ministers to come forward and raise objections. But the heavy ministers are those old things, and they all know how much money Wei Hong has invested in this battle. To tell the truth, these rewards given by Comrade Lao Li are nothing compared to what Wei Hong has invested in Comrade Lao Li. Therefore, several important ministers should not be heard.
When he heard this reward, Wei Hong didn't have the slightest joy, but roared in his heart, eager to cry now. Secretly said: It's over, I invested that million taels of silver by myself, and I was blind! This Lao Li is now rewarding himself with a big bank, which looks very prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it is a one-shot deal, after the reward, Wei Hong should not expect him to make up for his shortfall.
Comrade Lao Li rewarded 100,000 taels in front of Wei Hong, and he didn't plan to play with Wei Hong, so he slapped Wei Hong directly on the face, and clearly told Wei Hong, Lao Tzu won't give you your money! The number of 100,000 taels is quite special. At the beginning, Comrade Lao Li promised to reimburse Wei Hong for 100,000 taels, but now it is all included in the reward. The rest of the titles, silk, and fertile fields were all consolation prizes to appease Wei Hong's dilapidated heart.
Seeing Wei Hong's sad face, Comrade Lao Li rolled his eyes and said, "I thought about it for a while, these rewards are not enough to make up for your merits. Now I have made another decree, and your title may be hereditary! ”
Wei Hong, who was still in a trance just now, fell to his knees when he heard this, his face was gloomy to the extreme, and he shouted: "Please take back the holy decree!" The villain has a small merit and a small effort, why does the saint bother so much. I would never dare to accept this hereditary title. ”
Wei Hong's sudden move made the civil and military officials fall into doubt again. If someone else had obtained a hereditary title, they would have lost their jaws of joy a long time ago, after all, this is equivalent to begging for an iron job for future generations. But why did Wei Hong become so frightened when he heard about the hereditary title?
Comrade Lao Li didn't expect Wei Hong to be like this, he thought that Wei Hong was hypocritical, but when he looked at Wei Hong's face carefully, he was indeed overly frightened, not like a fraud. Although Comrade Lao Li couldn't understand why Wei Hong refused the hereditary title, he didn't want to embarrass Wei Hong, so he said: "Since you have said so, I will not force you, and the matter of the hereditary title will be discussed later." ”
Hearing this, Wei Hong breathed a sigh of relief, gave Comrade Lao Li a big salute, and shouted thanks.
After the reward is over, today's early dynasty will be over, and after retiring from the dynasty, Comrade Lao Li will call Wei Zheng to the Zichen Palace. Sitting behind the dragon case, he was slightly puzzled: "Zheng Guogong, I rewarded Wei Hong with the hereditary title before, and Wei Hong was so frightened on the spot that his face was like dirt. I looked at Wei Hong's eyes carefully, it didn't look like a fraud. Wei Hong's hereditary title is coveted by everyone, but it scares Wei Hong so much? ”
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled: "Actually, if the old minister doesn't say it, the future saint will naturally know." Since the saint is asking now, the old minister has the courage to say it. Previously, the old minister referred to Wei Hong as a 'loach', slippery and difficult to control, which shows that Wei Hong is a person who takes one step and thinks three steps, everything is detailed, and he thinks carefully. When Wei Hong had not yet come to Beijing, because he was robbed and captured by mountain bandits, the eldest man of the Fang family actually wrote a letter to the Ministry of War, wanting the Ministry of War to send troops to the rescue. At that time, the old minister noticed this Wei Hong and specially sent someone to investigate. From the news reported by the spies, it was learned that when Wei Hong was in Hangzhou City, he had a lot of fun fighting with a person named Sun Zihang. Because he was framed, Wei Hong was imprisoned, and Wei Hong once said a word. ”
"What Zheng Guogong is referring to is Wei Hong's sentence 'A real master is not improvised, but long-term planning and prediction'?" Comrade Lao Li also sent someone to spy on Wei Hong's details, so he knew what Wei Hong said.
Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what this sentence is!" Wei Hong has always had a long-term plan, he not only thinks about the present, but also thinks about the future. He always positioned himself as a 'self-serving' businessman, and that's exactly what he did, everything he did was for himself, for his family! Hereditary titles, for ordinary people, have a fatal attraction. But for people like Wei Hong, it is not only useless, but harmful! Now with Wei Hong's ability, he can live smoothly in front of the saint, but if Wei Hong's descendants inherit the title in the future, because of Wei Hong's relationship, he will naturally have more dealings with the high-level. At that time, can Wei Hong's descendants have Wei Hong's ability? Can you get a favor in front of the top powers? If you are not careful, you will end up in a catastrophe! So Wei Hong's idea is that he only puts himself in danger, survives in adversity, and constantly accumulates wealth. When the wealth has accumulated enough for the children and grandchildren to be inexhaustible, let the children and grandchildren break away from Vanity Fair, enjoy the glory in peace, and have no quarrel with the world! ”
Hearing Wei Zheng's remarks, Comrade Lao Li nodded suddenly in understanding: "So that's the case, this Wei Hong really has a long-term vision, and he has already made plans for future generations." After speaking, Comrade Li's tone suddenly became serious: "As Zheng Guogong said, Wei Hong is a loach and cannot completely control him." Since I can't fully control him, how can I fully trust him? With his ability, if he turns against him, it will definitely be detrimental to me! ”
The usual tricks of the ancient kings could not be controlled, so they would rather strangle the uncertainties in the cradle. Wei Zheng naturally saw Comrade Li's worries, but waved his hand disapprenomerly: "The saint is too worried, since the acquaintance of the saint and Wei Hong, what Wei Hong has done, the saint knows better than anyone else, Wei Hong will definitely not do anything that is unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty or to the saint." ”
