Chapter 198: Wei Zheng came to Li Chengfeng for money?
Not everyone is Changsun Wuji.
After all, if Li Shimin cannot solve the problem, he can still ask his eighth prince Li Chengfeng to help.
Although Li Chengfeng is naughty, he can always help Li Shimin at critical moments.
This made Li Shimin feel very relieved.
Even if he hadn't called for retreating to the court, Li Chengfeng left with his hands in his pockets and swayingly, Li Shimin wouldn't say Li Chengfeng was wrong.
After all, that was Li Chengfeng's usual style.
Li Shimin has long been used to it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. If you want to punish me, I will punish me and Wuyi. Please don't punish my family!"
"Okay, since that's the case, then I will punish you and Changsun Wuyi!"
After listening, Changsun Wuji also breathed a lot of relief.
At least the emperor said that punishment is not a killing.
If the word "Zheng" is released, Changsun Wuyi may be really going to die.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin said: "When you come in, the sky is drought, and the people are living in poverty! I will let you, Duke Zhao, make meritorious contributions! You took Changsun Wuyi and the others to Anyun County at the foot of Chang'an City to give alms and maintain them.
People's livelihood!"
"In addition, I will also fine you 100,000 gold as a punishment! I hope that Duke Zhao will make meritorious contributions and will not be given an example!"
"Yes, old minister, thank the emperor for your kindness!"
After saying that, Changsun Wuji pulled Changsun Wuyi and kowtowed three times to Li Shimin.
All the civil and military ministers in the court have no meaning.
First, this is the punishment sentenced by Emperor Li Shimin. As a minister, they naturally dare not disobey.
Second, the Changsun family is under the royal family, and they can't afford to offend them.
Third, Li Shimin's punishment to Changsun Wuji was also very serious! He fined 100,000 gold and asked them to go to Anyun County to charity the food to the people. In this hot summer, it was a blessing.
It's son!
In the end, the conflict between the Changsun family and the royal Li family finally came to an end.
...
When Li Chengfeng returned to the Zhenwang Mansion, Wei Zheng told Li Chengfeng about Li Shimin's punishment of the Changsun family.
Li Chengfeng pretended to be indifferent, and said with a cowardly shoulder, "Prime Minister Wei Zheng, I don't have the power to punish Duke Zhao. I just don't like the style of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuyi, so I stood up for my father.
Go and argue with Changsun Wuyi!”
"I can bully my father, yes! But others bully him, no!"
"Uh, hehe, that's true!"
Wei Zheng nodded stinkyly, with a flattering smile on his face.
I have to say that the debate contest between Li Chengfeng and Changsun Wuyi in the court just now really stunned Wei Zheng.
It can be said that this is a rebuttal contest that has never been before and has never been there.
In ancient times, Zhuge Liang fought against a group of scholars, and now, Li Chengfeng, the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, defeated the sophist genius Changsun Wuyi.
Especially later, after Li Chengfeng told the unethical things Changsun Wuyi had done in those years, he almost scared Changsun Wuyi silly.
Until now, Changsun Wuyi is still sitting in Changsun's mansion in a daze, and has not come back to his senses.
But Li Chengfeng was even more amazing. It turned out that he went to fight Changsun Wuyi just to maintain the dignity of his royal family.
In fact, he didn't give Li Shimin face at all?
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel ashamed. If Li Shimin heard this sentence, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, right?
"Prime Minister Wei Zheng, it's probably not that simple for you to come to the town palace to find me? Is it just to tell me about my father's punishment of Changsun Wuji and the others?"
"Oh, that's not!" Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's the emperor. I have arranged a task for you to do it!"
"What mission?" Li Chengfeng looked at Wei Zheng curiously.
Wei Zhengze said: "The emperor has ordered that during the drought in the Tang Dynasty, all civil and military officials must not be idle. Those who have money pay money, those who have no money pay, so the emperor wants you to pay some money.
, uh, go and help the people!"
"What? I just knew that old man was so bad that he was still paying attention to my money?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Chengfeng was immediately dissatisfied.
He knew that Li Shimin must be jealous of being very rich.
After all, Li Chengfeng earned an iron ore and more than 100,000 yuan in taxes last time.
Li Shimin thought to himself that it would be useless to keep the Eighth Prince with more than 100,000 gold in his hand. It would be better to ask Li Chengfeng to donate some money to help the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Because, the entire Tang Dynasty and the people who were troubled by drought were not Chang'an City.
There are also many cities such as Youzhou, Luoyang, and Xuanzhou, all suffering from drought.
There were even many refugees from Youzhou City migrated collectively and came to Chang'an City.
These are the people of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin couldn't watch them starve to death or to death, right?
Therefore, Li Shimin planned to let all civil and military officials contribute money and strong efforts.
More or less donate some money to help the people who moved from Youzhou City.
...
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengfeng's unhappy look, and he smiled angrily, and then said tactfully: "Eighth Prince, this is the emperor's order. Everyone should contribute to the people of the Tang Dynasty, so
, This is not the old minister making things difficult for you! So don’t make things difficult for you, okay?"
Wei Zheng knew that the Eighth Prince's verbal advantage was very good.
If the emperor did not borrow the emperor's orders, the eighth prince might have bombed himself out of the town palace now.
But Li Chengfeng twisted his neck, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "Then my father said, how much money do I want to pay?"
"Well, the emperor said at the time: It's useless to keep the Eighth Prince's money for too much money. Prime Minister Wei Zheng, please take as much as you can!"
"Bah, that bad old man is just jealous of my wealth!"
Li Chengfeng cursed Li Shimin again.
Wei Zheng was ashamed, but he could only laugh with him and persuaded Li Chengfeng not to get angry.
Li Chengfeng continued: "Who said I keep money for nothing? In the years of severe drought, although money is useless, it is much more useful to keep it in my hands than the emperor's hands!"
"Uh, this..." Wei Zheng was speechless, but it was difficult to argue.
Li Chengfeng said: "Don't think I don't know that there is still a lot of money in the emperor's treasury? He doesn't take his own money, but he still pays attention to my money? What a shameless guy!"
"Shh, Eighth Prince, you can't scold the emperor like this. It would be bad if someone heard it!"
"I'm heard? Apart from the people in the Zhenwang Mansion, there is only you, Prime Minister Wei Zheng? Do you want to go and report to me? Do you say I'm scolding my father?"
