Faced with this explanation, Wang Wei could not refute it.

The Beijing officials in Chang'an knew that the emperor was short of money now, and he naturally knew it.

If you hold on to it and annoy the emperor, then your own family property may be in danger.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment and asked: "The gold dust on the Buddha statue is all for the Tang Sheji, and Wei Chen expects that the Heavenly Buddha will not say much." But what did you go to collect the pilgrims' money? What is the purpose of arresting a female Taoist priest? ”

"That's right! Why are you bothering with those pilgrims? Li Mao was a little unhappy in her heart.

You must know that the eunuch is the house slave of the Son of Heaven, Wei Zhongxian did things that anger and resentment outside, and the people would hang these bad things on Li Mao.

"Your Majesty, it's not the minions who want to find trouble for them, but they themselves are looking for death!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly explained, and he could hear the change in Li Mao's tone.

"Death on your own?" Wang Wei looked incredulous.

People are not intellectually disabled, how can they take the initiative to find trouble with Dongchang Fanzi?

Li Mao didn't believe it either, but he was still willing to give Wei Zhongxian a chance to explain clearly.

"Tell me what the situation is!"

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground, "The minions are all angry for Your Majesty, you are not at the scene, I don't know how vicious those people are!" The minions not only confiscated their belongings, but also brought them all back to Zhaojiao in Dongchang! ”

Li Mao was furious when he heard this, "Dog minions, just because they scolded a few words, you arrested them and put them in Zhao Prison?" Am I such a cautious emperor? Don't you know that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan? ”

After saying that, Li Mao lifted his foot and kicked Wei Zhongxian.

This kick looks very powerful, but in fact, it only takes 10% of the force.

"Ahh Your Majesty spares your life! Wei Zhongxian actually rolled on the ground.

Looking at his miserable appearance, Li Mao couldn't help but wonder if his strength was used too much?

Wang Wei looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was beaten, but there was no joy on his face.

As smart as he is, he naturally knows that the emperor is going to forget it like this.

If he really intends to pursue it, it is impossible for the emperor to kick it himself.

The farce between the two made Wang Weizhi frown, "Your Majesty, can the people in Dongchang Zhao Prison be released?" ”

Li Mao nodded and smiled, "Of course I have to let it go, I will reiterate again, I am not a person with a small belly." ”

"Wei Zhongxian, you really don't let me worry, how can you arrest people in prison because the people scolded me?"

"As soon as you go down, let go of the people who were arrested just for scolding me!"

"Slaves obey!" Wei Zhongxian immediately heard the meaning of the emperor's words, that is, let him interrogate them carefully to see if those people had other crimes.

Wang Wei didn't understand the code words of the two, and continued to ask, "What about those female Taoist priests who were arrested by you?" ”

Li Mao also turned his gaze to Wei Zhongxian again, because Li Tang claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, and Taoism was not like Buddhism, so he did not give an order to do anything to Taoism.

"The slave is for the sake of my Datang!"

Wei Zhongxian also put on a look of being wronged.

"Fart!" Wang Wei couldn't help but be angry, and even left behind the Buddhist scriptures he had been reciting.

Li Mao also thought that Wei Zhongxian was talking nonsense, "Isn't it that you have six unclean roots and want to marry a wife?" ”

He suddenly thought of the story of Wei Zhongxian and the Rong family in the original history.

In all dynasties, there was only one real man in the harem, but there were tens of thousands of palace maids.

Even if the emperor has one daughter every day, it will take thirty years to take care of every palace maid.

So in the Ming Dynasty, powerful eunuchs liked to have sex with palace maids.

Wang Wei thought about it, but he only thought of this reason, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to check it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is really not for himself!"

Wei Zhongxian saw that both of them were suspecting that they were not clean, and hurriedly explained, "The slave met a Taoist priest with advanced Taoism outside the city today, and he said that His Majesty must combine with a female Taoist priest to give birth to a prince. ”

"The slave is doing this completely for my Tang Dynasty Sheji, in order to help His Majesty stabilize the country!"

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he directly threw himself on the ground.

It was a matter of national capital, and Wang Wei didn't dare to say more.

After all, the emperor really hasn't given birth to an heir yet.

Li Mao touched her nose, looking a little embarrassed.

He never thought that Wei Zhongxian, who was tall and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also follow Zhao Gao and know that he would give himself a woman.

"Which Taoist priest said that? How can you be sure he's not fooling you? ”

Wei Zhongxian replied, "It's Sima Chengzhen of the Shangqing faction. ”

"It's him!" Wang Wei suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing such a big reaction from the two, Li Mao was quite strange in his heart: "Who is Sima Chengzhen?" Where did you learn from? What do you have written? ”

Wang Wei explained: "Mr. Zhengyi is an old friend of Weichen, and he is already 90 years old this year. He studied under the Taoist priest Pan Shizheng of Songshan, and the commentary on the Tao Te Ching promulgated by the emperor was drafted by Mr. Zhengyi. ”

"Oh!" At first, Li Mao thought it was a Taoist priest from Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's line.

Wang Wei saw that the emperor was unmoved, so he planned to help this old friend.

"Mr. Zhengyi has always disdained the number of yin and yang techniques, why did he suddenly propose to Gonggong Wei the idea of asking a female Taoist priest to stabilize the country's foundation? Why didn't Your Majesty summon him to ask for clarification? ”

Li Mao shook his head after hearing this, "With his status, if he really wants to see me, he will come directly." ”

"Since Mr. Shoichi didn't come forward, he must have his reasons. Even if I had summoned him, I don't think he would have come. ”

"Those female Taoist priests should first find a palace in the palace and place it properly!"

"I'll wait until I figure out why!"

After hearing what the emperor said, Wang Wei showed disappointment.

I didn't accomplish anything when I entered the palace today, but I offended the Dongchang factory.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost time for the palace gate to be locked.

He knew that as a foreign minister, he could not spend the night in the palace, so he surrendered his hand, "Your Majesty, it is getting late, so the minister will retire first." ”

Li Mao nodded and said, "Then you go home first, it's not elegant to go out of the palace in a hanging basket after all." ”

Once the gates of the palace are locked, they will not be opened easily.

Entering and exiting can only be transported by hanging baskets, unless you pull the flag and rebel like Li Mao, you can enter and exit the palace through the gate in the middle of the night.

Just as Wang Wei turned to leave, Li Mao noticed a flash of fierceness in Wei Zhongxian's eyes.

Obviously, Wei Zhongxian has a grudge against Wang Wei because of today's impeachment.

"Forget it, Wang Aiqing, don't be in a hurry to leave yet."

After Li Mao stopped Wang Wei, he immediately took out a piece of rice paper and wrote on the desk.

"You give this to the cabinet tomorrow, even if I arranged it."

Wang Wei took it and saw that on the rice paper was the warrant that made him the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Your Majesty loves you, and the ministers dare not accept it!"

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian also saw the appointment information above.
