He immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Shiming.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"This lowly official has repeatedly spoken out and remonstrated, but not only did Your Majesty not punish this lowly official for being disrespectful, you even trusted this lowly official so much.”
"This subject is grateful to tears. There are thousands of words in my heart, but I don't know how to tell Your Majesty!”
As he spoke, Wei Zheng's words actually carried a hint of sobs as he choked.
Li Shimin, who was on the ninth level of the High Seat, felt bad when he saw Wei Zheng's performance.
A loyal and loyal person who died for his integrity!
Wei Zheng was a true loyal minister.
If it wasn't for Little Shopkeeper Wang's persuasion, he might have really missed out on a loyal person.
Thinking of this, Li Shiming felt that Wang Chen was a really useful person.
Not only was he outstanding, but he could also discover the excellence of others.
Li Shiming was glad that such a talented person from ancient times to the present could be born in the Great Tang, in his own era. Otherwise, it would be a regret in his life.
"Alright, beloved minister, you don't have to be like this. In the future, you will be loyal to your duties and serve the Great Tang even more.”
Wei Zheng immediately stopped sobbing.
He said firmly,"Your subject, Wei Zheng, is willing to sacrifice his life for Your Majesty and die for the Great Tang!”
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were in turmoil.
Because Wei Zheng was too straightforward and spoke without mercy, he was not very popular in the court.
However, everyone in the court admired his upright character.
Before asking others, he could ask himself first. This was what the civil and military officials admired.
Many of the important officials in the court were also worried that Wei Zheng would anger the Emperor. Now that the Emperor did not punish him and even promoted him, everyone was relieved.
Zhangsun Wuji even stepped out and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the heavens bless the Great Tang!"
In an instant, the ministers seemed to have a tacit understanding and stepped forward at the same time.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the heavens bless the Great Tang!"
Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel heroic when he saw the ministers shouting so loudly.
This was the true Great Tang!
……
After announcing Wei Zheng's promotion, Li Shimin discussed a few matters with the officials.
When it was almost noon, the small court meeting was announced to have ended.
"Summon Wei Zheng to my study!"
Accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, Li Shimin went to the study to have a meal.
At the same time, he ordered someone to invite Wei Zheng over.
Wei Zheng, who had just left the court, had originally planned to have a meal with Zhangsun Wuji and the others at the dining area of the palace before leaving.
However, he suddenly received a message from a eunuch in the palace. He immediately cupped his hands towards Zhangsun Wuji and the others before quickly walking towards the study.
When he arrived at Li Shiming's study, there were already several dishes on the table.
"Wei Zheng greets Your Majesty!"
Seeing Wei Zheng, Li Shimin placed the book he was reading on the table.
"It's good that you're here. Sit down and accompany zhen for lunch.”
"I don't dare!"
Li Shi Min's eyes widened.
"What's there to dare or not to do? I just asked you to have a meal with this one. Could it be that you don't like the simple food this one eats?”
After interacting with Wang Chen for a long time, Li Shiming had learned his tricks.
He would always put on a big hat, making the opponent unable to resist.
As expected, Wei Zheng immediately sat down in fear.
"How would this lowly official dare to say that these are simple meals? In fact, this is even better than what this lowly official eats at home during his vacation.”
Li Shimin asked someone to serve Wei Zheng a bowl and chopsticks as he spoke in a slightly blaming tone.
"Wei Zheng, ah, Wei Zheng, I'm not criticizing you, but you're also an official of the Imperial Court. Your rank is not low either.”
"Use it where it should be used. Don't scrimp and save to this extent. People who don't know might really think that I'm abusing you officials.”
Wei Zheng said a little embarrassedly,"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have always been thrifty.”
Li Shiming nodded and asked Wei Zheng to start eating.
At the same time, he casually said,"Your Shu Yu, that kid, is quite old now, right? I've seen him a few times in the past."”
Wei Zheng hurriedly replied,"Your Majesty, my son is now in his prime."”
Li Er nodded.
"Tomorrow, let your boy report to the Yulin Royal Guards. Let him be a Langguan for the time being. It can also be considered as earning some expenses for your family, so that you won't be too cold on weekdays and outsiders will say that I am exploiting my subjects.”
Wei Zheng was shocked.
Although it sounded casual, to let his son become a commander of the Yulin Royal Guards without saying anything was a great favor.
Wei Zheng immediately knelt on the ground.
"My son has no merit, how can he deserve Your Majesty's kindness? I hope Your Majesty will take back your order.”
Li Shi Min waved his hand.
"Alright, let's eat. There's no need to kneel here and there.”
"If Zhen says he can go, then let him go."
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shiming.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, he sat back down.
The monarch and minister chatted as they ate, talking about nothing more than matters of the court.
After lunch, Li Shiming put down his bowl and chopsticks, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"Wei Zheng, I didn't want to talk about this matter, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is necessary to let you know.”
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin with a questioning gaze.
"Before yesterday evening, I was actually very dissatisfied with you. The reason why I changed my mind was because of two people!”
