However, Chang'an,
In the palace, above the main hall, there was a solemn atmosphere.
Hou Jun, the minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a letter with conclusive evidence to impeach the minister of household affairs for embezzling military pay. Although the amount was not large, it was enough to impeach the Taiyuan Wang family, the minister of household affairs with five surnames and seven looks.
Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had already known about this incident before. He saw that everyone in the Wang family in Taiyuan, as well as everyone in the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs, wanted to intercede for the Minister of Hubu. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Wei Zheng stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, the embezzlement of military pay is harmful to the country. If this kind of thing is forgiven, everyone in the army will know about it in the future, which will damage the morale of the army."
As soon as Wei Zheng said these words, everyone in the Five Surnames and Qiwang looked at Wei Zheng angrily, wishing to poke holes in Wei Zheng's already ugly body.
Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that embezzlement of military pay is indeed harmful to the country. If everyone does this, how will the army be managed in the future and how will the treasury be managed? Even if this matter is not known, the Minister of Household Affairs said that he does not know. However, this does not absolve you of the crime of dereliction of duty. I hope your Majesty will understand."
"Okay, okay, very good, Wang Kui, you were originally a member of the Yin Prince Party. Regardless of past grudges, I reused you and made you the Minister of Household Affairs. Is this how you repay me? Huh?" He was full of majesty. Roaring angrily, Li Shimin's eyes looked like sharp arrows at Wang Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs who was kneeling in the main hall.
All the other officials with the five surnames and Qi Wang were actually a little numb at this moment, and they kept complaining about Wang Kuilai in their hearts. They all thought in their hearts: "You really want to be corrupt, so you should be more corrupt, two thousand dollars." , is your Taiyuan Wang family really short of this little money?"
At this time, Wang Kui's mentality was actually broken. He was thinking about which bastard took two thousand guan, and he actually had to take the blame for this matter. He already knew in his heart that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance must be lost. Yes,
"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing this, everyone comforted Li Shimin. After all, the emperor would kill millions of people when he was angry, and since Li Shimin ascended the throne, that domineering temperament has appeared in him again.
"Wang Kui, you are really good. For the sake of your Wang family, since you can't be the Minister of Household Affairs, then don't do it and go to Honglu Temple to be a Shaoqing. Give me another two thousand guans. The money will be paid to the Ministry of War, and this matter will be over, otherwise I will definitely chop off your head today." Li Shimin finished speaking domineeringly.
Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, is this punishment too light? If the future Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is still embezzling military pay like this and is just demoted, then the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be too easy to deal with. "
"Wei Zheng, what do you suggest?" Li Er became interested. They had thought about these issues when they had a small meeting before.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Minister of Household Affairs should be fined 20,000 yuan, with a small punishment and a big warning."
Wei Zheng's suggestion almost made Li Shimin laugh out loud, thinking to himself, this old boy Wei Zheng is really interesting.
In fact, Wei Zheng thought about many issues through his inner planning. Twenty thousand guan was nothing to the Taiyuan Wang family. The loss of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was the biggest loss to their family.
A small punishment but a big warning. In this case, the Wang family would not say anything more. After all, they had embezzled two thousand guan, so they would pay ten times as compensation. In his opinion, it was not excessive at all.
As soon as Wei Zheng's suggestion came out, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others stood up one after another, "I second my opinion, it is said that there is no rule without rules. This is a small punishment but a big warning. I will complete the law as soon as possible to show to all the people in the world. "
Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said loudly: "Just do as Wei Zheng said. In addition, the Minister of Personnel should perfect the law as soon as possible."
Changsun Wuji: "I obey the order."
"From today on, Fang Xuanling will temporarily take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If this kind of embezzlement of military pay happens again, I will severely punish him." After Li Shimin finished speaking, his eyes scanned the crowd below.
Fang Xuanling knew in his heart that he was really only temporarily filling the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance. After all, he was just making an overstep, and it was more to appease the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes and make them feel that they had a chance to return. Get back the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
"My lord, I obey the order." Fang Xuanling responded at this time.
At this time, Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"What's the matter?" In fact, Li Er knew in his heart that he would soon be able to legitimately become the father-in-law of someone outside the country.
"Yesterday, someone invented a fire bed that can withstand winter. I studied it and found that it is indeed a cold-resistant artifact. I would like to take credit for this person." After Duan Lun finished speaking, he took out the drawings he copied and presented them. ,
After Li Er pretended to have seen the drawings, he said with great joy: "It's really a magical weapon, Duan Lun, have you tried it?" Duan Lun nodded and said: "Wei Chen was at the house of the young master who offered the fire kang last night, and it has been confirmed After all, it is indeed a cold-resistant artifact, and the cost is extremely low. It is divided into two types, one is used by nobles and wealthy people, and the other is designed for ordinary people. As a result, this winter will not be the same. People will never freeze to death again.”
"Oh, there is such a talented person. It's very interesting. Do you know who this young master is?" Li Er asked with narrowed eyebrows.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Duan Lun and others who knew the inside story simply didn't notice.
"The young master's surname is Zheng, and he is less than a crown prince. I think this fire kang is a good thing that will benefit the country and the people, and I implore your majesty to promote the method of fire kang throughout the country." Duan Lun said.
"I'm sure about this. This is something that is beneficial to the world." Li Er sat on the dragon throne, thinking in his heart about how to give Zheng Zhengjin an official title.
Du Ruhui stood up and announced: "Your Majesty, if it is true as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry said, then such a fire kang will benefit the country and the people. I sincerely request your majesty to reward the person who has presented the method of making the fire kang."
The people of the fifth and seventh surnames were all staring with big eyes and small eyes, and their heads were a little confused. They still didn't understand what the situation was now.
Rongyang's Zheng family's eyes were shining. Duan Lun had said before that their surname was Zheng. They could say with an 80% chance that the maker of the fire kang was from their family.
The Minister of Household Affairs of the Wang family in Taiyuan was taken down, and then in an instant it was time to entrust it to a person whose name he had never heard of.
"In this case, the method of making the fire bed was handed down to Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, after the end of the dynasty. You arrange for this method to be spread throughout the country. If any local officials dare to block the implementation of the fire bed, they will be severely punished." Li Shimin glanced at the family coldly. The officials scanned Xiao Yu and Pei Ji again. Seeing that they did not object, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves: "Fortunately, these two old guys know what they are doing."
At this moment, the reckless men of the general group were a little confused, thinking to themselves, what is going on.
But they would not ask. Only Cheng Yaojin vaguely guessed that it should be Mr. Zheng who wrote a poem to scold Pei Qian.
"I will never be stingy with rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds." After Li Er finished speaking,
"Duan Lun, do you have any suggestions?" Li Er's words shocked Duan Lun, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, how dare I overstep my bounds? It's just that Mr. Zheng prefers music. I also tried to recruit him to the Ministry of Industry offered the job, but he declined."
Duan Lun's meaning is very obvious, that is, if people like to have free time, just give them the entire vacant seat.
At this time, Li Daozong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Say." Li Er knew that Li Daozong was here, and he came with a reason to ask for a marriage.
"I happen to know Mr. Zheng. He not only saved the lives of me and my daughter, but also saved the life of Princess Xiangcheng. He has superb medical skills, talents, and handsome appearance. Now he has developed such a method that benefits the country and the people. The cold-resistant artifact, I sincerely request your Majesty..."
Before Li Daozong finished speaking, Li Er interrupted with a dark face: "Okay, I'm not a stingy person,"
How do you think such great achievements should be divided up?
An official from the Rongyang Zheng family stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this kind of achievement is too great, and he should at least be made a Duke."
After the Zheng officials finished speaking, none of the other people with the surname Qiwang raised any objections.
Li Er on the dragon chair looked at Wei Zheng, who shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
Li Er was a little confused. If it were normal, if Li Er wanted to be granted an official position, the people with the five surnames and Qi Wang would still be in trouble. They only wished that the official position was in their hands.
Li Daozong probably guessed a little bit, but Zheng Zhengjin and Qi Wang, the fifth surname, have no close relationship at all.
