Although Pei found it strange, he was not as old-fashioned as Kong Yingda. Moreover, the one who had an official position was her own daughter, so she inevitably had some selfishness. She asked Pearl to put away the seal and told her to act in a low-key manner and not to show off, so as not to cause criticism.

Wei Yingluo responded one by one and advised Pei to put away the money, but Pei said he would not ask for anything.

"Yingluo, you'll take back this money. Your family is not short of money now." Seeing Wei Yingluo's doubts, Pei explained: "Your Majesty punished Zhulu Marquis Zhulu for half a year to your father, and he has sent it over. The family now has extra money. You don't have to supplement the family anymore. Your father is a big-handed and soft-skinned. If you save money at home, your father will point it out again. His personality will be difficult to change in this life and you can't drag you down. Although you have an official position now, you have to think about saving some dowry money. In the future, when you go to your husband's house, don't be looked down upon."

Wei Yingluo didn't say anything, but Zhenzhu was dissatisfied and said, "Old lady, who looks down on anyone? Our lady is so beautiful and capable, and she is still an official figure. Which young master is not enough to match, we have to choose one."

Pei glanced at Zhenzhu and said, "Little Zhenzhu, don't think I didn't say anything to you, you are the same! Women will get married sooner or later, can they still be able to live with their temperament? You two are seventeen years old and you will be gossiped about if you don't get married within this year."

Pearl muttered in a low voice, "The Marquis's wife, she got married at the age of twenty..."

When he heard Zhenzhu talk about Bai Qiaoqiao, Pei suddenly remembered the thing Wei Zheng mentioned. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly grabbed Wei Yingluo's hand and said, "Daughter, if you ask you something, you have to answer honestly."

Wei Yingluo was stunned, but she still said obediently: "Mother asked, my daughter will answer naturally."

"You have been with Li Mu for so long, how can he treat you?"

"Okay, the Marquis treats my daughter very well..." Wei Yingluo thought for a while and said, "The Marquis always encourages her daughter. She doesn't know if she can do some things well, but the Marquis said it must be OK. He never looked down on me because I am a daughter. He treats her daughter very well."

"Then do you like him?"

"Ah?!" Wei Yingluo understood what Pei meant when she heard this. She instantly flew her hair on her hair and said in a panic: "What is your mother saying? My daughter and the Marquis are innocent. There is no affair with their children, absolutely nothing."

"Look, it scares you." Pei hurriedly comforted Wei Yingluo and said, "Didn't you say you have an affair with him? Isn't you still trusting your daughter? Isn't you asking you, if you are so outstanding, you have never had any love for you when you stay with him often?"

"I..." Wei Yingluo couldn't answer instantly because she couldn't handle it. At the age of marriage, which girl wouldn't think about this? Wei Yingluo naturally saw Li Mu's talent, but she really didn't think about these things. First of all, it was because Li Mu already had a wife and a concubine of several rooms. Although Wei Yingluo's family was poor, she was also very energetic under the influence of Wei Zheng. How could she be willing to let her be young?

Furthermore, the longer she spent with Li Mu, the more she felt that the gap between her and Li Mu was getting bigger and bigger. Li Mu's ability was like a star in the sky. As soon as she learned a little, she found that there were more things she didn't understand. If she could see the end, she would not be discouraged. However, Li Mu had too many things, so she gradually became numb. In this process, she subconsciously distinguished herself from Li Mu. She felt that she was not as good as Li Mu. If she was with Li Mu, he would feel very bored.

Pei was a person who had experienced it. When he saw Wei Yingluo's appearance, he felt a little enlightened. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She had always known her daughter's personality. She didn't take ordinary so-called talented men at all. But now when facing Li Mu, she felt ashamed of herself. Naturally, she felt in her heart that Li Muguo was very human.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, and Wei Zheng entered the room with fatigue. Seeing Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu's face, his face became increasingly ugly. Wei Yingluo noticed that something was wrong, so she stood up quickly and stood beside him with Zhenzhu.

Wei Zheng sat down, looked at the master and servant, and said, "You two have the official position?"

"How did Dad know?"

"Although the appointment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to be passed through the Ministry of Personnel, it must be registered with the Ministry of Personnel before the issuance of a printed letter. A woman is an official, such a big event has long been spread. You are my daughter, and I don't think it's hard to know!"

Wei Yingluo lowered her head. She knew that this must have caused trouble for her father.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Li Mu, this kid, is trying to make things difficult for me! I know that I am not his opponent, and he knows it well. If I hate me, I can get rid of me at any time. Why do I have to keep me in the court, but I am always targeting me? Is he playing tricks on me?!"

"Dad..." Wei Yingluo whispered: "Or, my daughter goes to the Marquis and says that she doesn't become an official, so as not to bring criticism to her father..."

"Why not do it?" Wei Zheng snorted and said, "Who do we have to owe anyone what we are? That kid is very smart. Since you use you, you must have valued your ability. If you criticize it, he will definitely have a way to deal with it. I have told those people just now that I don't know about these things. How do they want to make trouble? Let them do what they want, I just need to practice the Dharma..."

Suddenly Wei Zheng stopped, he frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "This kid actually...he dared!"

Everyone was confused, and Pei couldn't help asking: "Old man, what did you do in surprise, what did you dare, what did you dare to do, what did you dare!"

"Oh!" Wei Zheng knocked his head and said in a furious manner: "I finally figured out what Li Mu was going to do. He didn't get rid of me and disgusted me. He wanted to conquer me for his use! Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition! What did he regard me as? How could I do what he wanted?"

"This..." Wei Yingluo was also shocked and immediately understood most of the time. In fact, she had been unable to understand why Li Mu was against her father everywhere but never took action. I don't know how many times he had gone further, Wei Zheng could only surrender and go home, but he always stopped. Such a way to kill the eagle was revealed by Wei Zheng. If you think about it, Isn't that the case!

But in order to take care of Wei Zheng's face, I can't say that this is the case. I stammered: "Dad, maybe you were wrong. The Marquis has never mentioned these."

"Hmph!" Wei Zheng is not a fool, he is just a fool in the authorities. After thinking through the joints, he can straighten it out. He took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Daughter, please send him a message to his father, so that he will not be foolish. I have my own opinions on doing things, and it is definitely not something he can control!"

"Oh." Wei Yingluo responded. She knew that this was not the time to persuade her. But although she agreed, she would not say anything to Li Mu. Maybe Li Mu really didn't think so. If she passed the message, wouldn't it be a big conflict?

Wei Zheng gradually calmed down, sighed and murmured: "Li Mu is young and wise. Who can control him in a few years?"

When Wei Yingluo heard this, she couldn't help asking: "Dad, why do you always want to control the Marquis? The Marquis has never done anything to commit crimes. In the eyes of her daughter, it is all good things that benefit the country and the people. Why should she restrain him?"

"Hmph!" Wei Zheng glanced at Wei Yingluo and said, "What do you know? No matter how smart Li Mu is, he is also a minister. If a minister is not restricted, would he succeed? Your Majesty takes care of him in every way because he is young and has no power behind him, and wants to cultivate his help to the prince. But Li Mu now seems to have become a force himself. His Majesty is in full swing. When the prince ascended the throne, it will be unknown how many years later. By then, Li Mu will be a domineering in the court, and no one can compete with him."

"At that time, can Your Majesty still feel at ease to ask Li Mu to assist the prince? He won't be worried that Li Mu will rebel after his death?"

This time it was Wei Yingluo's turn to be scared. She murmured, "Dad, will it be where?"

"Can you?" Wei Zheng snorted: "You forgot what your father told you, how did Your Majesty sit on the dragon throne now? As an emperor, how could he worry about personal affairs? Don't say that it was Li Mu, no one who threatens the imperial power without restraint is a dead end. Li Mu doesn't know how to restrain himself today, and no one can save him in the future!"

...

The next day, in the court, there was a case where the censor impeached the female official. At first, there were three or two, but later, seeing that Li Mu had not come to court, he had a vague trend of continuity and stood out to impeach him one after another.

Li Shimin also had a headache. While he was hesitating whether to ask Li Mu to explain, Changsun Chong stood up. He was Li Mu's eldest disciple and worked in the Office of Internal Affairs and was responsible for reform. He often came to participate in court discussions for Li Mu, just like Li Mu's spokesperson. When he stood up, everyone was not surprised.

Changsun Chong was also straightforward and said nothing nonsense. He took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and opened it for these impeachers to see. He saw five big words written on the rice paper that were strongly penetrated the back of the paper: Guan Er, nothing! The domineering aura almost revealed the paper and slapped everyone's faces.

Changsun Chong threw the paper to the impeachment people and turned to Li Shimin and said, "Please forgive your crime. Your Majesty, my teacher cannot come to court in person due to His Majesty's ban, but he guessed that there would definitely be a slut who made a big fuss about the female official and wrote a letter to explain it. My teacher said that the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always been independent of the three provinces and six ministries. When Your Majesty set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had already given the authority to appoint officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs six or below. These were all stated in the imperial edict, but it was not written in the imperial edict. Women should not be an official, and there was no law in which women should not be an official in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he did not violate the law at all. Please give your Majesty a clear view."

"It's true." Li Shimin nodded and said, "In the Tang Dynasty, there is no law that women cannot be an official, but this is a conventional rule. It is still inappropriate for Li Mu to make such arrangements."

Changsun Chong said again: "Your Majesty, this is the manifestation of the teacher's careful consideration. The Fengchen Bureau is responsible for the court's duties and is a responsibilities that communicates between the inside and outside the palace. It will inevitably go in and out of the palace often. If a man is an official, there will be many inconveniences. If a woman is used as an official, it will be free from embarrassment. Wei Yingluo was in the Ministry of Works before, and he had always acted as an assistant to his mentor. All merchants and officials were convinced. His abilities were obvious to all. His mentor appointed Wei Yingluo entirely for the sake of the palace, and he did not hesitate to delay the affairs of the Ministry of Works. This time, please give your Majesty a clear understanding of his heart."

"Well," Li Shimin nodded and said, "There is a little bit of truth." Suddenly he smiled and said, "Wei Aiqing, Wei Yingluo is the pearl in your hand. What do you think about this?"

Wei Zheng said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, I have cut off the father-daughter relationship with Wei Yingluo half a year ago. All her affairs have nothing to do with me. Whether she is an official or an altered person, I have no opinion on whether she is an official or announcing me. I will decide based on your words. If you need to amend the laws and regulations, I can record it first and return to Xiezhiyuan to discuss with the scholars."

"Oh," Li Shimin wanted to tease Wei Zheng with this matter, but he didn't expect that Wei Zheng wouldn't get into the trap. He couldn't help but feel bored. He pursed his lips and said, "Since there is a reason for the matter and it does not violate the law, then that's it. However, it is not appropriate for women to be an official only for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the court and the local government."

"Thank you for your understanding." After Changsun Chong said that, he returned to the corner and stood again, turning back to a small transparent person.

When everyone who impeached Li Shimin saw that he was partial and favored, they had no choice but to return to their own position and were dejected, as if they had lost their parents.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Suddenly, a rough voice came out, and everyone looked over and found that it was Cheng Yaojin. This surprised everyone. Cheng Yaojin was very slick and never made any suggestions. However, when others talked, he liked to get involved. Today he stood up, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what he was going to say.

Li Shimin was also curious and smiled and said, "Cheng Zhijie has something to say. After that, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, does the land must be reformed?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It must be changed, but it won't work. Why, what's wrong with Zhijie?"

"It's a big mistake!" To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yaojin, who has always been regarded as Li Mu's party, actually sang a opposite tune with him. Cheng Yaojin clasped his fists and said in a urn: "I heard Li Mu say so much that day, and I think it makes sense, but when I go home, I think it's inappropriate. Your Majesty, those who have titles and military merits have all given land. If you change the law according to his, how should I calculate the land you give? You can't take it back!"

"This..." Li Shimin was stunned by the question, and the others in the court were indeed awakened as if they were awakened from a dream, and they all showed joy!
