Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne the next morning.
Wei Zheng stood below and sneaked a glance at Li Shimin, feeling very proud.
Normally, Li Shi Min would have wanted to escape from Taiji Palace.
However, today, he had Qin Fang's words to wake the world up. Not only was he not afraid, but he also nodded slightly and smiled at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was terrified,"Not only is the Emperor not afraid, he even nodded and smiled at me. Is there another trap?"
Eunuch Gao shouted at the top of his voice as usual,"The Emperor has issued an edict. If there is something to report, we will withdraw."”
The Minister of Revenue, Dai Zhou, stood up and said," Your Majesty, I have a memorial. Yesterday, I received news that heavy rain has been pouring down in Zhengning County for days. It has already washed away two dams.”
"Half a month ago, the number of people affected by the disaster has already exceeded 3,000. There is no need to worry about food for the time being. However, if this rain continues, more dams will burst. Zhengning County is less than 100 kilometers away from the Imperial City. I'm afraid the Imperial City will be in danger."
"I think that we need to recruit commoners to strengthen the dam. Your Majesty, please make a decision.”
"If we do as you say, how much money will it cost?" Li Shimin asked.”
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject roughly estimates that we will need thirty thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand commoners.”Minister of Revenue Dai Zhou replied.
Li Shi Min closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
It had just been a few days of peace, and now there was another big problem.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin replied,"Give me a day to think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."”
Li Shiming was thinking about such a nerve-wracking matter, so he decided to leave it to Qin Fang.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Zhou, Minister of Revenue, bowed and retired.
"Is there anyone else who has a memorial? If there's nothing else, withdraw from the court.”Li Shimin smiled and looked at Wei Zheng.
Eh, you're actually looking at me? Was there really an ambush? Wei Zheng pondered silently.
Cheng Yaojin saw it and whispered to Yuchi Gong,""Jing De, the Emperor is acting strange today. He actually dared to stare at Old Man Wei.”
Li Shimin was waiting for Wei Zheng to come out and talk about his drinking yesterday.
Wei Zheng's memorial was written and the charges were set.
However, the Emperor was acting strangely today. Wei Zheng was not sure if there was an ambush, so he was hesitant.
Should I retort to him or not?
Between resentment and non-resentment, Wei Zheng has thousands of difficulties.
Cheng Yaojin liked to jeer and deliberately laughed at Wei Zheng.
Cheng Boor is mocking me?
The emperor is also mocking me?
How dare I, Wei Zheng, be afraid of anyone! F * ck!
"Emperor, I, Wei Zheng, have something to report.”Wei Zheng still stood up.
Cheng Yaojin elbowed Yuchi Gong."Jing De, the show is starting."
"You just want the world to be in chaos," said Yuchi Jingde.”
"Duke of Zheng, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.”
"The emperor left the palace yesterday to drink and only returned at dusk. The emperor was drunk, which was a dissolute act; It is too dangerous to drink outside the palace. If you don't take care of your body for the world, it is unreasonable. Your humble servant reported that the emperor is dissolute and unreasonable. Please correct it.”Wei Zheng said loudly.
When this accusation was mentioned, the courtiers were so frightened that they stomped their feet.
This Wei Zheng, how dare he say that the Emperor is dissolute and immoral!
It was fine if it was a small crime, but it was usually a label placed on the head of a fallen monarch.
Although Cheng Yaojin was reckless and uncultured, he knew that this was a serious crime.
"Jing De, this has blown up. What should we do?”In fact, Cheng Yaojin also knew that Wei Zheng was an upright person and a virtuous minister.
If Li Shimin really killed Wei Zheng, he would feel bad.
"You still say that it's all your fault." Yuchi Gong scolded.
Wei Zheng revealed Li Shimin's crime and the entire court was shocked.
This crime was too serious. The officials discussed it and said that Wei Zheng had gone too far.
Actually, Wei Zheng was also in a difficult position.
He was originally Li Jiancheng's strategist, but after the Black Tortoise Sect's defeat, he had sided with Li Shiming.
Although he knew that Li Shiming wanted to use him to win over Li Jiancheng's old party, he didn't want to be labeled as betraying his master and seeking glory.
Therefore, after he entered the court as an official and became a remonstrant doctor, he said whatever he saw.
He wanted to leave a clean reputation after his death.
It was just that he was too straightforward and often went too far.
All the ministers felt indignant for Li Shimin and felt that Wei Zheng had gone too far.
Wasn't it just a drink, but he actually said that Li Shimin was dissolute.
Li Shi Min didn't mind and laughed,"Yesterday, Zhen did leave the palace to drink. Duke Zheng was right. I will change it."
Li Shi Min's declaration stunned the officials.
In the past, didn't he always leave the court with a black face and then curse at the old farmer to kill him?
Today, he was actually not angry when he had such a hat on his head.
What was going on?
Wei Zheng was the most confused.
There was indeed an ambush.
"I think that ever since Wei Zheng entered the court, he has been constantly remonstrating and it has been beneficial to the court. Today, I will give Duke Zheng three words to express my gratitude.”
All the officials were stunned.
Not only was he not angry, but he was also grateful to Wei Zheng?
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head.”
Qin Qiong shook his head." I don't know. I'm getting more and more confused about the emperor." It's as if he's a different person."
"You've become smarter." Cheng Yaojin said.
"It's not just smart, it's unpredictable.”Qin Qiong said.
Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to give Wei Zheng a piece of calligraphy.
Wei Zheng read for a long time.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Emperor, this lowly subject would rather die than refuse."
"What's going on?" Cheng Yaojin was surprised. You cried?"
The other ministers couldn't go over to take a look, but Cheng Yaojin was reckless and walked over to pick it up.
"Using copper as a mirror…can... Zheng "
Cheng Yaojin could not read a few words and could not read them out loud.
Li Shimin smiled proudly and said,"A man can straighten his clothes with a copper mirror." Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall of the country; Take people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses. I often keep these three mirrors to prevent mistakes. Duke Zheng is my mirror, he can always see my gains and losses.”
When the ministers heard this, they were all amazed.
With such knowledge and breadth of mind, it was impossible for him not to be a wise ruler.
Secretary Yu Shinan walked out and bowed.""It is the blessing of the subjects and the country that the emperor is willing to listen to advice. Your Majesty is wise."
Cheng Yaojin returned the letter to Wei Zheng and pulled him up.
"Alright, alright. You're an old man. Why are you crying? The emperor has already said that you are well."
Yuchi Jingde shook his head. It would have been fine to call him a big man, but he had to call him an old man. It seemed that this bad habit of having a cheap mouth could not be changed.
Wei Zheng wiped away his tears and bowed." I will definitely work harder in the future. If the Emperor has any mistakes, I will definitely point them out. I will not let a single one off. I will die for them."”
This time, it was Li Shimin's turn to be dumbfounded.
The main reason why I brought out the three sentences that Qin Fang said was to show off and appease you.
You actually took it seriously.
'I have to work harder and point out all my mistakes. I'll f * cking…' I'll stab you to death
"Yes, Duke Zheng is my blessing, the blessing of the world." Li Shimin smiled.”
However, he was thinking in his heart,'I'm too arrogant and I'm going to fail.'
The ministers in the court chanted,"Your Majesty is wise."”
Li Shimin stood up, shouting in his heart,'I'm screwed! I'm screwed!'
"Retreat!" Eunuch Gao shouted.
Returning to his bedroom, Li Shimin shook his head as he walked.
"What's wrong with the Emperor?" The Empress asked with a smile. Isn't Qin Fang's three sentences good?"
"Sigh, Qin Fang's three sentences shocked the officials." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled. However, this old farmer actually took it seriously and said that he would work harder in the future and point out all my mistakes. It would be difficult for me to go to court in the future.”
The Empress smiled when she heard this. Since he had already said it, why not just send the reward to Wei Zheng's residence? It wouldn't be in vain for him to say it in the future.”
The Empress was still smart. Since she had put on a show, she might as well make it real.
"Yes, the Empress is right."
Li Shimin immediately asked Eunuch Gao to send the reward to Wei Zheng's residence.
