"Did you hear that? Prime Minister Wei favored one over the other, and almost forced his son and concubine to death. ”

"No, Prime Minister Wei only has two sons, one was abolished, and the other was not well cultivated, but he was abused to the point of forcing people to commit suicide, what a sin!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that the concubine wanted to take the throne, and she committed suicide with her son."

"Don't talk nonsense, I have relatives working in Wei Mansion, and it is Wei Cheng's favor who does not lay eggs...... The concubine who didn't have a son, the concubine who gave birth to a son was bullied, forced to be helpless, and felt that there was no way to live, so she couldn't think of jumping into the river with her son. ”

"Hey, I really don't know what Prime Minister Wei thinks, he only has two sons, and he refuses to give that son an identity, if it were me, how could I give that son an identity and cultivate it well!"

"Who's to say it's not, I really don't know what he thinks, is his brain in water? Or is there no way to govern the family. ”

"There must be no way to govern the family!"

"I also think that there is no way to govern the family, my son is only nine years old, and he wanders in the casino all day long, and the family is in chaos!"

"It's not, hey, it's really scary to think about a person who can't manage his family well as a prime minister."

People's discussions were written by Prime Minister Zuo and participated in a book.

Not only Prime Minister Zuo, but also many ministers who did not deal with Wei Shiming wrote excerpts, and the guards were not strict in governing their families, which damaged the image of officials in the Great Xia Kingdom.

In the court the next day, Emperor Xia's face was as black as ink, and he slammed the fold on the ground, if he had strength, he wanted to fall into Wei Shiming's face.

"Look at the good things you've done!"

The guard trembled like chaff, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" After the minister goes back, he will definitely take care of the house! ”

"Okay? I heard that your son was only nine years old and became the most famous gambler in the capital! He also lost a lot of money, where did you get so much money for him to gamble! Emperor Xia threw away another excerpt, "Recently, the excerpt of the Great Xia Kingdom has been contracted by your Wei Mansion!" ”

"The minister is guilty! Guilty of sin! The minister punished himself and fined him for three months, begging His Majesty to give the minister a chance, and the minister will definitely teach his son well and manage the backyard. ”

"Father!" The crown prince stood up, "Yesterday, Erchen went to the market and found that most people were worried, worried that my Great Xia Kingdom would reuse such an incompetent official, is it that you have no way to govern the country, the emperor!" ”

Wei Yun became the person of the third prince, and the interests of the two were closely linked, Xia Qingbi naturally couldn't sit idly by, and also stood beside the prince, "Father! Erchen doesn't think so, as the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is normal for Prime Minister Wei to have something to do in his family, but he didn't expect such a small matter to be infinitely magnified by people with a heart and rise to the level of state affairs. ”

The people with a heart in his mouth did not name him, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was referring to the crown prince.

The prince bluntly stated, "Does the third brother mean the palace when he says that he has a heart?" Could it be that I made Prime Minister Wei's family ugly? Could it be that the thing he damaged the image of my Great Xia State officials was also a rumor spread by this palace? ”

Xia Qingbi: "Big brother, don't deliberately misinterpret what I mean, I mean that Prime Minister Wei's family affairs are just an accident, who doesn't have an accident, and it doesn't violate the laws and regulations of my Great Xia Kingdom, give him a chance, he will definitely be able to handle it, why should the eldest brother hold on to it?" ”

The crown prince has never had one expression in front of the ministers, indifferent as water seems to have never had emotions, even if he is arguing with Xia Qingbi, it seems that he is just expounding a fact, a truth, "The third brother also misunderstood what I meant, I just said that this matter will have an impact on Prime Minister Wei and the officials of my Great Xia Kingdom, I didn't say that I have to punish him!" You are in a hurry to defend him, is it possible that you are worried that Concubine Yun is in a hurry with you? ”

The matter in the backyard, the prince can stop in moderation.

But all the officials present knew in their hearts that the prince and Xia Qingbi were just protecting their own interests.

Xia Qingbi gritted his teeth, "Big brother! Behind your back, you can question the affairs of my house, but this is the court, although I have a bad temper, little brother, I still know what is public and private! ”

The implication is that the prince brought family affairs to the court, that is, there is no distinction between public and private.

The prince's expression was faint, "Third brother, since we were children, our father has taught us to cultivate ourselves and govern the country and the world, if we can't handle family affairs well, what ability do we have to govern the world?" ”

"Didn't the little brother say it? Who hasn't had an accident, didn't the main concubine and the side concubine in the eldest brother's mansion also fight some time ago? ”

"But I took care of it, he didn't."

The prince's words made Xia Qingbi speechless, and for a long time, he looked at Emperor Xia Yuan, "Father!" Erchen insisted on doing it, and wanted to give Prime Minister Wei a chance! ”

The three princes immediately stood up and agreed, "The minister believes that people who are not saints and sages are infallible, and Prime Minister Wei should be given a chance." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"Wechen also seconded it!"

The crown prince's mood was light, "We can give Prime Minister Wei a chance, but who will give the image of all the officials of the Great Xia Kingdom a chance?" It took more than ten years for the image of the father and the emperor to love the people like a son to be established, but Prime Minister Wei destroyed this image overnight, and even some people felt that the father was old, stubborn and self-serving, and became a faint king! ”

The people of the prince's faction also immediately stood up to support him, "The minister agrees with the prince's words, the good image that the emperor has built up with great difficulty has been ruined by Prime Minister Wei, and Prime Minister Wei should be responsible!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Wechen also seconded it!"

The third prince was not to be outdone, "How can it be so serious, it is clearly you who said it yourself, why have I never heard of it!" ”

"Has the third brother ever been to the vegetable market? Third brother, do you think those civilians dare to say such things when you ask? I also pretended to be a civilian micro-service for a private interview, and I heard it by chance, third brother, do you know how sad I was when I heard those words!

Once, Prime Minister Wei Cheng was the mainstay of my Great Xia Kingdom, maybe he has been in a high position for many years, and he is used to being pampered, and he has long forgotten his original intention!

My important minister of the Great Xia Kingdom is a faint official who has no way to govern his family, my heart hurts! ”

"Nope!" Xia Qingbi retorted, "Big brother, you can't slander Prime Minister Wei!" He has worked hard for my Great Xia Kingdom for many years, and he has worked hard without merit, you can't slander him like this, how many heroes will be chilled by your words! ”

The prince hit the nail on the head, "Third brother, it is precisely because of Prime Minister Wei's merits and demerits that I feel that Prime Minister Wei should not be punished, but don't say anything, this is not a clear way to tell all the ministers, you can learn from him, anyway, it doesn't matter how bad the image is, what is it for the son to go to the casino, the father and son go into battle together, and if you have no money, you can also use your position to make it!" ”

Xia Qingbi glared angrily, "Don't talk about it more and more outrageous, don't deliberately misinterpret what I mean, I don't mean that, I also think that Prime Minister Wei should not be punished, family affairs are just family affairs, and they should not rise to the top of state affairs, not as serious as you said!" ”

"Third brother, as I said just now, a person can't even cure his family, can he cure state affairs?"

"The two are not comparable!"

"Why can't you do small things, but you still want to do big things?"

The two quarreled in front of the civil and military officials, and Xia Qingyu, who had been silent, showed a sneer, wishing that the two of them were arguing as fiercely as possible, and he just profited from it.

Emperor Xia was dizzy by the quarrel between these two people, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly, "Enough! A prince, a prince, what kind of system is it to quarrel and shout in front of so many people! ”

"Father! The son is guilty! The prince knelt down for the first time, looking pious.

Xia Qingbi didn't have the prince's temper, and said angrily, "Father, the son is not wrong, if this can also become a means of attacking the old minister, it will really chill the hearts of those heroes!" ”

Emperor Xia was finally in a good mood by Mu Jiu, and was once again stirred up by these two people, if it weren't for the face of the royal people, he would have pulled these two people out and knelt for a long time!

"Shut up!" Emperor Xia Ming's eyes glared angrily, "You guys will not use it tomorrow if you quarrel again!" ”

The two obediently shut up, Xia Qingbi glared at the prince, the prince just maintained an indifferent look, as if he didn't see Xia Qingbi's eyes, he didn't care what Xia Qingbi did to him, he was the elder brother, and he tolerated everything about Xia Qingbi.

The people who stood on the prince's side shook their heads, Xia Qingbi was too graceless, how could such a person inherit the throne.

But the people who stood on Xia Qingbi's side felt that the prince was really good at pretending, and on the surface he was a tolerant brother, but in fact, he deliberately pretended to be tolerant to set off the bad temper of the third prince.

The people who stand in line with the second prince faction are complacent, quarrel, quarrel, quarrel, the second prince has a greater chance.

Emperor Xia Fang rubbed his forehead, and only waved his hand for a while, and said in a golden mouth, "From today on, Prime Minister Wei will be fined for half a year, think about it behind closed doors for three days, and then come to the court after cleaning up the housework!" ”

The guard's horror finally ended, these punishments were all trivial, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"Get up, this is your last chance, if something like this happens next time, go home and farm!"

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

"Is there anything else going on? Nothing to retreat from! ”

Ministers: "......"

Someone stood up, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to beat!" ”

"Didn't you say that there was nothing to do? If you have something to hand over the fold, I will reply tomorrow! ”

What else can the courtier say, the emperor is angry, and he accidentally loses his black hat or even his life, it is safest to keep his mouth shut obediently.

……

There was a lot of trouble in the court, and the Three Princes' Mansion was quiet.

Zero One's people finally figured out where the Three Princes were keeping those people.

Dozens of people were locked up in a small courtyard, where they ate and drank, and more than a dozen people were crammed into a small room, the air was not circulated, and many people were sick.

In order to keep these people alive and control their families, Xia Qingbi had to treat them, and it just so happened that Imperial Doctor Li, who was loaned to the Three Princes' Mansion, took effect.

There is a doctor, but the medicinal materials have to be purchased from the outside, the Liu family was seized, and now the largest seller of medicinal materials in the capital is the prince.

That's right, the pharmaceutical factory that Yan Ruyu gave him closed down due to prescription problems, but the medicinal material base was still there, so he bought and sold medicinal materials alone.

Xia Qingbi wanted to buy a large number of medicinal materials and couldn't escape the prince's eyes, so someone borrowed medicinal materials and mixed them into the Three Princes' Mansion and found out the location of those people.
