Wei Zheng's wife came from a famous family and was from the Pei family in Hedong.

Although the Pei family in Hedong is not among the five surnames and seven Wangs, its family is not weaker than the seven Wangs of the five surnames and seven Wangs of the five surnames and seven Wangs. Its ancestor was the descendant of Feizi, the branch grandson of Feizi, who was appointed as Peixiang because he thought it was a clan. The Pei family was divided into three branches and lived in Hedong, Yanjing, Xiliang and other places, especially the Pei family in Hedong. He was the most prosperous. He was a hero, handsome, famous ministers, and was shoulder to shoulder. He was especially good at being able to produce capable ministers.

Pei Ji, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was from the Pei family in Hedong.

Wei Zheng's wife Pei was born into such a prominent family.

The records about Pei in later generations are the most famous for being "jealous". According to legend, the allusion of "jealous" comes from this: Li Shimin learned that Wei Zheng had only one wife and no concubines, and thought he was pitiful, so he wanted to be a beautiful woman and gave him a few concubines. But Wei Zheng did not dare to ask for it, and Li Shimin asked about the reason, and Wei Zheng said that he had to ask his wife about this matter.

Li Shimin thought to himself that a man who is a real man must be afraid of not even having a concubine. In order to protect Wei Zheng's face, Li Shimin said, "If you don't do this, I will issue an order to marry you. No matter how powerful your wife is, she will never dare to refute the emperor's face, right?"

Unexpectedly, I didn't give this face.

Li Shimin was a good-looking person, so he called Pei to question: "I gave it to Wei Zheng's concubine, why don't you let me?"

Pei replied: "National affairs are of course up to him, and family affairs must be followed by me."

Li Shimin seized the loophole in this statement and said, "Is it a state or a family matter to the emperor rewarding his ministers?"

Pei was silent for a long time and could not answer this question. Finally, he said: "With her, no me, no me!"

Li Shimin was slapped in the face for the second time and was furious, and someone was using poisoned wine to scare Pei. Unexpectedly, before he could say the threat, Pei picked up the wine glass and drank it. Fortunately, it was not really poisoned wine, so Pei saved his life.

When Li Shimin saw that Pei was really tough, he was convinced and did not mention the reward of concubines. Because it was a poisonous wine replaced by rice vinegar, later generations called women jealousy "jealousy".

Pei's family is well-mannered and very majestic. At home, even Wei Zheng dared not provoke her easily. However, this time, Pei did not interfere. It was not that she also felt that her daughter was wrong, but Pei understood Wei Zheng's difficulties.

After a battle with Li Mu, most of the Shandong gentry's power in the court was lost. Now among the six tribes, there are not many Shandong gentry left. Most of the forces are in the Censorate.

The Censorate looks like a noble yamen. But if you think about it carefully, it is a useless place. Because the Censor has no real power, you impeach eight hundred times, and the emperor is inaction, which is the difference between farting. And if you want to refute someone with your mouth, it would be so difficult. Wei Zheng was happy at first because of his promotion, but later he slowly tasted it. He has been depressed for a while and has not taken action for a long time.

However, he is the leader of the Shandong gentry in the court. When he is in his position, he has to plan things. Wei Yingluo had dating with Li Mu, but was found out by a Shandong-born censor and came to him, so Wei Zheng had to show his attitude.

The Shandong gentry and Li Mu are irreconcilable. You, Wei Zheng, are the spokesperson of our Shandong gentry. Your daughter is entangled with him. What's the matter?

Unless Wei Zheng turns against him, he must punish Wei Yingluo. Anyone can have something to do with Li Mu, but only his daughter, Wei Zheng, must draw a clear line with him.

There is nothing right or wrong in this matter, but it is not possible.

What's more, Li Mu gave Wei Zheng the biggest setback in decades of entering the industry, and hit Wei Zheng, an old troll, several times to doubt his life. In terms of personal impression, he also hated Li Mu.

If my daughter has any connection with someone like Li Mu, would she still have a reputation? Even if there is nothing, the family style will be ruined if it is spread.

The mistake he asked Wei Yingluo to admit was to make her express her attitude and she would never have anything to do with Li Mu in the future. But what was annoying was that Wei Yingluo was unwilling to do it! Could it be that this girl had an affair with Li Mu?

Wei Zheng's eyes turned red immediately, and the old father's anger hit his forehead, and his blood pressure rushed up, and then he severely punished Wei Yingluo.

And Pei couldn't say anything about this.

Originally, she thought that Wei Yingluo was her daughter's family after all, and she couldn't stand such great pain. She knelt for a few hours and couldn't bear it anymore. Wei Zheng's anger was gone, just fine. But she didn't expect that the father and daughter were so angry that no one would give in. Wei Yingluo even knelt until she fainted, which made her feel very distressed.

Now that the children are grown up, this little daughter is left by their side. How could she not care about the flesh that fell from her mother?

At this moment, he didn't care about his rationality. The doctor treated Wei Yingluo in the house, and the two of them quarreled in the outer room. Although Wei Zheng could talk to the scholars in the court, one was swearing three, at home, his combat effectiveness was less than half that of Pei's. He was scolded and squirted, and finally he simply shut up. If you like to scold, I can't say anything? I just kill someone but I don't say anything. What else can you do to me?

I have to say that Wei Zheng has understood the survival rules of middle-aged men. Other tricks are not easy to use, and this trick really works. Pei was tired of being quarreled, took a breath, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "What should I do now?"

"I don't know." Wei Zheng said, "Anyway... I, a father, can't compensate my daughter, right?"

"I didn't ask you to compensate me, right?" Pei said: "The censor who came to find you clearly wanted to make a fuss about this matter. But this matter is related to our daughter's reputation. I'm asking this, what are you going to do?"

Wei Zheng remained silent.

If we follow the official struggle, if we want to benefit the most, the best way is to stand up and falsely accuse Li Mu. But now, judging from Wei Yingluo's posture, she clearly would not agree. Moreover, Wei Zheng was unwilling to do such a despicable act.

But the problem is that he is unwilling to deduce. Those censors from Shandong are not all gentlemen. They can think of it with their toes and think about it, and they can think of what choice they will make.

Seeing Wei Zheng silent, Pei said angrily: "You old guy, you can't show your attitude and tell those people not to attack our daughters. If they dare to use our daughters as a lie, you will turn against us and don't join them again... Don't you dare to say this?"

"Oh!" Wei Zheng said annoyedly: "How can you make a joke about family and country affairs?"

Pei sneered: "You also say it is a major family matter. If you can't even handle family matters well, how can you handle national affairs well?"

Leaving this sentence, Pei got up to see his daughter, leaving only Wei Zheng, dazed in a daze.

But he didn't know that the censor left his house and wrote a memorial when he returned home, which was now placed on Li Shimin's desk. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mu was sick, Li Shimin would have seen it long ago.

Things are so wonderful. The same memorial will be read at different times, and the results will be different.

The effect will naturally not be the same when I saw Li Mu before I learned that Li Mu was ill and after I learned that Li Mu was ill.

Li Zheng Hall.

Li Shimin talked to Empress Changsun for a while, and when talking about Li Mu's illness, Empress Changsun was also sighing. She talked about Empress Changsun's own illness and it became dark. So Li Shimin passed on the meal and had dinner with Empress Changsun in Lizheng Hall.

After dinner, Li Shimin remembered the memorials that he had not finished reading, so he asked the eunuch to bring them all over. He would rest in Lizheng Hall today and read these memorials before going to bed.

After a while, I saw this memorial from the censor signed "Lu Zhilin".

The more Li Shimin read, the more angry he became. After reading it, he threw the memorial to the ground and cursed: "Bastard! He is also a censor! He is also a Shandong genius! Li Mu suffered from a brain disease, so these people thought he was going to lose power, and he slandered him with a harsh word, which was extremely annoying!"

Empress Changsun bent down and picked up the memorial and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin's anger was not gone: "The queen can see it yourself!"

Empress Changsun had no choice but to open the memorial, and after reading it, she also frowned.

The censor named "Lu Zhilin" wrote a letter to impeach Li Mu for three crimes. One was to steal national wealth. The second was to show off his wealth. The third was to tease the people's daughter. The stealing national wealth said that Li Mu started a company, won over the powerful and the profits of salt tax. The arrogant show of wealth said that Li Mu acted arrogantly and made fun of money. The second was to tease the people's daughter, saying that Li Mu abducted Wei Zheng's daughter and wanted to do something wrong.

Empress Changsun put the memorial on the table and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that Li Mu is wronged."

"Isn't it just an unjust accusation!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "If there were no Li Mu, there would be fine salt. Without fine salt, where would the tax come from and where would the profit come from? And why would I not believe that Li Mu would do such a thing? He also teased Wei Zheng's daughter... Why didn't he say that Li Mu teased my daughter?! Caught the wind and shadow!"

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin mentioning two things, he just said that "acting arrogantly and making money for fun" in the middle, he knew that Li Shimin intended to defend it. The three points Lu Jingshi said were only the right ones. Li Mu has always been arrogant in his behavior. He counted the things he did, first Kong Yingda, then Wei Zheng, and in addition to the people of various aristocratic families, which one is not his elder, and which one is not older than him? But he never cared about it. This can be regarded as a proud person, but he would not be wronged by arrogance.

As for making fun with money, it is even more refuting. The Tang Dynasty Daily has been advertised for three consecutive days. Chang'an City is now full of treasure hunters. What is not for making fun with money?

But I can't blame him for this matter. The money was earned by others himself, so why don't I let it spend? The Censor Lu listed this article, and probably didn't say anything, so he took it out to make up the numbers.

The other two are still inseparable from the suspicion of concealing crimes.

"I must deal with this Lu Zhilin tomorrow and kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
