The next morning, Li Shimin pulled Xiao Fan to pay his respects to Mother Xiao.
This time, Du Ruhui didn't say anything and even applauded Li Shimin's magnanimity.
How great was the contribution of one person to the country?
What was wrong with the emperor paying his respects to his late mother? Who dared to say anything?
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui left after a hasty breakfast.
Xiao Fan did not pay much attention to this cheapskate father. He also knew that he was doing trade between Longyou and the Great Tang.
Xiao Fan was cleaning up the system inventory.
Complete Tang Poetry, Heavenly Craftsmanship, Mohist Mechanical Art, New Tang Book, Overlord Force, cotton, potatoes, corn, chili...
There were too many things in the system warehouse. Some of them were used, and some were still in storage.
……
Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin had spent the entire morning meeting Li Jing in private. After confirming that he hadn't missed out on anything in the Turkic war, he had Li Jing secretly send troops.
In the afternoon, he was playing with the hawk in the back garden.
"This bird isn't bad. I'll give it to that cheap son later.”Li Shiming smiled and muttered to himself.
Knock, knock, knock.
From afar, Li Shi Min heard footsteps. Seeing the approaching figure, he shrunk his neck and revealed an unhappy expression.
He thought about it and decided to hide the little sparrow in his arms.
"Doctor Wei."
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said calmly.
Wei Zheng nodded and stared at Li Shimin with a playful look.
Li Shimin was puzzled." What's the matter?"
Wei Zheng spoke very slowly, enunciating each word clearly,"In the spring of the third year of Zhenguan, the ice on the ground had not melted. The Ministry of Works reported that the farming progress of the ten provinces was slow and it might affect the spring planting.”
"This humble subject and the Minister of Revenue, Tang Jian, have jointly investigated more than seventy corrupt officials. All of them have been arrested and the Ministry of Justice has dealt with them according to law.”
"The Ministry of Rites has reported that the Thousand Character Text is obscure and difficult to understand. They want to study the enlightenment books…"
Wei Zheng said very slowly.
Li Shi Min was sweating profusely.
Damn it, if you don't hurry up, my bird is going to suffocate to death!
However, Li Shimin knew that Wei Zheng was good at scolding. All he could do now was hope that Wei Zheng would end the lecture as soon as possible.
After an unknown amount of time.
The eloquent Wei Zheng finally stopped and looked at Li Shimin playfully,""Your Majesty, is the bird dead?"
With a thud.
The veins on Li Shiming's forehead bulged, and his anger rose. He glared at Wei Zheng,"Are you playing with me?"
How could Li Shi Min not know that this bird was doing it on purpose? It was talking non-stop for a long time, deliberately waiting for my hawk to be suffocated to death.
Wei Zheng did not hesitate.
There was already a deep grudge between the monarch and his subjects. Wei Zheng shouted,"I'm just playing with you!"
"Bastard! Traitorous dog, I'll kill you!”
He had to go through a lot of trouble to get this hawk from Longyou. It was an obedient and easy to raise predator chick.
He originally wanted to give Xiao Fan a surprise.
Now that he was killed by Wei Zheng, how could Li Shimin not be angry?
Wei Zheng was not afraid at all. He stretched his neck and said,"Come on! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"These days, you've been hanging around the people all day long. You're surrounded by crafty sycophants, ignoring the government, ignoring the court. The country doesn't lead the country, the monarch doesn't become the monarch, and you have no virtue. How can an emperor like you govern the country?”
"Even if this lowly subject dies, there is no pity!”
Li Shi Min's temper rose as he shouted angrily,"Wei Zheng! How dare you! Who told you that I was fooling around among the people? Who was the crafty sycophant? Speak clearly!"
"Who's the crafty sycophants?" Wei Zheng asked with a cold face. Do I need to say it? Even if I die, I have to clean up the side of the king!”
"Bullshit! I won't allow you to insult my Great Tang Kingdom Scholar!”
Li Shi Min was really angry, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Kingdom Knight…hehe." Wei Zheng pursed his lips.
Li Shiming pointed at Wei Zheng, his entire body trembling," I will let you die knowing! Let's go!"
As they spoke, the two officials headed towards the Wannian Xiao Manor.
After seeing Xiao Fan, Li Shimin tried his best to suppress his anger.
Wei Weizheng glared at him. He stared fixedly at Xiao Fan and clenched his fists, as if he was about to explode in the next moment.
Xiao Fan stared at Wei Zheng suspiciously and asked Li Shimin,"Who is this?"
Li Shi Min grinned," Didn't I go to the Imperial Censorate to plead for you a few days ago? This is my friend from the Imperial Censorate. He wants to meet you.”
Wei Zheng was stunned.
He knew that Second Emperor Li had someone outside.
But he did not expect it to be Xiao Fan!
Wannian County's Xiao Fan…Xiao County's male, wasn't this the person behind the scenes who formulated Xiao Fan's law and cleared up the government?
Perhaps there were still a large number of people in the imperial court who did not know Xiao Fan, nor did they know the glory of Xiao Fan's embroidered clothes.
However, Wei Zheng had been fighting side by side with Tang Jian these days. How could he not know Xiao Fan?
Wei Zheng's expression eased up immediately. He cupped his fists and bowed."Greetings, Xiao County Nan."
Even Li Shiming was caught off guard by the sudden change in attitude!
Wei Zheng was a person who distinguished kindness and hatred. He had a strong personality and respected people with ability from the bottom of his heart.
Towards trash…he was also happy to pinch them to death.
Xiao Fan was also puzzled.'This old thing is trying to change his face with me?'
When he came in, he was so angry. Why did he suddenly change so smoothly?
Xiao Fan waved his hand.”
The three sat down.
Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and asked Xiao Fan,"Xiao County Nan, this official has discovered a disgusting matter and would like to ask Xiao Xian Nan's opinion.”
Wei Zheng was testing Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan nodded.”
"Recently, my Imperial Censorate's superior and the Emperor of the Imperial Palace had a conflict…" Wei Zheng nodded.
Xiao Fan waved his hand."It's Wei Zheng, right?"
Without needing him to continue, Xiao Fan knew who the Imperial Censor was.
Who else could have a conflict with Li Shiming?
Wei Zheng smiled embarrassedly." That's right. Doctor Wei advised His Majesty not to play with the hawk in the palace. His Majesty was furious. The two of them were still angry, but they didn't know how to calm it down. As a lowly official, I should share your worries. What does County Man Xiao think of this?”
Eh!
Xiao Fan was speechless.
Obviously, he couldn't talk about His Majesty. It was not beneficial to him.
"I don't understand." He smiled and cupped his hands.”
Just as Wei Zheng was a little disappointed, Xiao Fan said,"However, I have two words that I can share with you.”
