Chapter 171 Erlang chases Wei Zheng under the moon

After leaving the Political Affairs Hall, Wei Zheng was angry and sat in a carriage and called to open the gate of the imperial city. He went straight to the residence of Jingyang County, Luojiazhuang, regardless of the rules and regulations.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Zheng was covered in alcohol, which caused a cold wind to rush, and an old face was full of sorrow. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, and personally brought a Hu bed and laid it with a soft cushion, and then saluted Wei Zheng, "Duke Wei, you are not working overtime in the Political Affairs Hall this night, why are you here with a sad look on your face?"

Wu Meiniang, who had just finished the day, was drinking tea in her mentor's study in the cold wind, looked at Wei Zheng with disgust.

It seems that in the world of two people, people always jump out of trouble?

Should I ask the monks in Fahua Temple to see, ask for things like Taoist talismans to help me drive away evil spirits, otherwise why would people like Wei Zheng, who were at the level of prime ministers, come to ruin their good deeds in the middle of the night?

The happiest time I have worked hard for a day is that I can talk with my mentor at night, but this wish cannot be realized.

Wei Zhengcai didn't care what these two juniors were thinking, and the old man who was completely lost in contact said aggrievedly: "Today, in the Political Affairs Hall, I had a very unhappy relationship with the saint. It's like this, this... Your Majesty was not like this before."

The dry old man, his words filled with sorrow, sat on Hu's bed, with an expression of indescribable loneliness.

Luo Yunsheng and Wu Meiniang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The matter was not complicated. The two could clearly hear it. Although Wei Zheng was kind and had a vision, he spoke regardless of the occasion or time. Sometimes, it was really hard to accept.

Wu Meiniang comforted: "Duke Wei, the saint is just annoyed for a moment, and after that, he will finally understand your painstaking efforts.

In the nine years of Zhenguan, in which court has lost your strong strength and power, and in which year it has lost your reputation.”

Wei Zheng shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty has been so happy over the years and has never suffered any hardships. In addition, the people around him always say that they are born in destiny and are wise and powerful. Over time, Your Majesty himself is lost.

I feel that everything can be achieved through one battle and will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

My heart has changed, and nothing I say will work.”

"Have Your Majesty never reflected on Tubo's defeat this time?"

Seeing Wei Zheng's behavior like this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but stand up and seemed a little worried.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Lesson?

Tubo is so far away from Guanzhong, but he doesn’t know how painful it is if he learns a lesson.

Besides, there are so many dog ​​slaves in the court who are full of lotus flowers, and they are sweet words every day. Can Your Majesty remember the pain?"

As he said that, Wei Zheng looked at Luo Yunsheng, "You guy, you have always been very thoughtful. Help me and help the Tang Dynasty."

Luo Yunsheng shook his head.

I thought to myself, old comrade, your mind is very dangerous. How can you help you be linked to helping the Tang Dynasty?

Wei Zheng understood that Luo Yunsheng, a kid, was unwilling to participate in the calculations in the court.

Even the last time I was sentenced to the Ministry of Justice, I might have complained before I could speak up, so how could I speak up easily?

"Is your coal business still in place lately?"

Seeing that he couldn't make a decision, Wei Zheng changed direction again.

Luo Yunsheng smiled and shrugged, and could not see his joy, anger, and sorrow and joy: "The aristocratic family also wants to burn charcoal. My coal business is very good."

"Then you have to be careful.

The more indulgent the opponent is, the more terrifying the counterattack is brewing.”

Wei Zheng looked at Luo Yunsheng and persuaded him: "The easiest way they want to deal with Your Majesty is to start with you. After all, coal stone is in your hand."

Luo Yunsheng was silent. He looked at Wei Zheng deeply, but did not speak.

He felt that the old man in front of him was difficult enough and he didn't want to add more trouble to him because of himself.

Wei Zheng seemed to understand why Luo Yunsheng didn't speak. He waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly: "I forgot that I am also a member of the Shandong wealthy family."

Luo Yunsheng said: "It has nothing to do with whether you are a Shandong rich man. But starting from the coal business, I have a difficult relationship with aristocratic family. I can't avoid attacks in the court and swords and shadows under the court. I am prepared in my heart.

But you, instead of thinking about how to run, you might as well take a break first.”

Wei Zheng was stunned and asked, "What does this mean?

The aristocratic families in Chang'an are on the verge of bankruptcy. Do you know that if you borrow the seal, you can't pay it back. That's because you want to auction the property or even hang your whole family.

If the aristocratic family breaks out, the whole of Guanzhong will be in trouble."

Luo Yunsheng's expression was calm and explained: "That's what I mean, let them explode."

Wei Zheng widened his eyes and looked at Luo Yunsheng with disbelief. He didn't understand how such a smart boy could have said such unscrupulous words.

Seeing Wei Zheng's expression unhappy, Luo Yunsheng explained: "Old Wei, it's already this time, why don't you understand?

Everyone knows that there are good and bad families.

But aristocratic families are also the source of disaster to the country, and it is also a consensus!

You are a loser in the authorities.

Your Majesty himself is from a noble family, and he knows this kind of thing better than anyone else, so he will spare no effort to suppress the noble family, because one day the new emperor ascends the throne, he may not have his ability and means to control the court. If he wants to deal with the noble family, it will be extremely difficult.

Have you forgotten how the Sui Dynasty perished?

So he will appear anxious, and that's why you think His Majesty is desperate and makes the situation worse.

As for the aristocratic families, they have never suffered such a great loss from beginning to end. Although this riot among the people forced them to bow their heads, to be honest, they were not convinced and would not give up if they did not make a fuss or suffer some hardships.

Your Majesty may not be unclear about this matter, but what I think about is that you will go to war sooner or later. Instead of waiting for the army to set off and Chang'an will be in chaos again, it is better to let them attack early, cut off the rotten flesh, and give some opportunities to follow His Majesty.

Why don’t the ministers in the court speak? Because Your Majesty is fighting for the benefits of their own people, and it’s too late for everyone to thank Your Majesty, how could he sing the opposite tune?”

He shouted with a wake-up call.

Wei Zheng's expression gradually turned red when Luo Yunsheng said something, and he stood there in a daze. "It turns out that in the eyes of His Majesty, these children of aristocratic families are not his subjects at all, but the root of the destruction of the country! What is that man?"

Wei Zheng murmured for a long time, and was unwilling to continue chatting with Luo Yunsheng, "Stupid brat, be taught.

But can Your Majesty really win?”

Let me tell you, turn around and leave, look melancholy when you come, but when you leave, you feel like you are losing your soul.

"Duke Wei, wait!"

Luo Yunsheng suddenly spoke.

"how?

Boy, do you have something to say?"

Wei Zheng said sadly.

"Mr. Wei, I want to ask you something, how did you know that Your Majesty can't win the aristocratic family?"

Luo Yunsheng stood in front of the door and said with confidence.

"The former Sui Dynasty was so powerful, but it was fleeting."

Wei Zheng said with a look of suspicion.

He was a person who had experienced the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and was very clear about the power of the aristocratic family.

Compared with the aristocratic families, the Tang Dynasty is still a child in a cradle and very weak.

"Can Your Majesty not do anything that the former Sui Dynasty cannot do?

Let’s take a step back and say, as ministers, shouldn’t we help him do what His Majesty cannot do?”

Luo Yunsheng said heroically.

"But those aristocratic families are also His Majesty's people.

Why can't Your Majesty treat everyone equally?

If a ruler blindly eliminates his opponent, will he be lost?

It should be noted that some people have struggles, and some people have families.

If Your Majesty destroys the old aristocratic family, will the new aristocratic family not become old?”

Wei Zheng retorted.

"Looking at the present and ancient times, whenever reforms are reformed, there must be bloodshed and sacrifices. Should those who do not cooperate with His Majesty's reforms be cleared out?

If you don’t take advantage of their weakness and crush them, would you still have to raise a tiger?

If Emperor Wen of Sui solved the aristocratic family, how could Emperor Yang of Sui be subverted in an instant?

Besides, how did Duke Wei know that Your Majesty wants to destroy the aristocratic families instead of controlling them?

Duke Wei mentioned that the new family became an old family. How do you know that after the new family became an old family, they would not respect the sage?

In the boy's opinion, whether it is the new or old ones, it is a good one that does not harm the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "I understand! But I...ah."

Wei Zheng was a person with a literary sentiment from beginning to end. He had feelings for aristocratic families. In fact, it was not just him, but many people had feelings for aristocratic families.

These people either receive favors from aristocratic families, represent aristocratic families, or start from the overall situation, and believe that the existence of aristocratic families is not entirely a bad thing.

Therefore, they find it difficult for them to accept what Li Shimin did.

Wei Zheng could feel that things would never be as simple as Luo Yunsheng thought. When the emperor discovered the harm of the aristocratic family, they would definitely try their best to destroy it.

Luo Yunsheng looked at the old prime minister's lonely appearance and knew in his heart that what His Majesty did had a great blow to Wei Zheng.
