Chapter 27 People need to think twice before they act

"National interests are nothing small?"

His Majesty Li Er gently recited the words Wei Chi said casually, his eyes lit up and he praised: "Okay, very good! Have you ever heard what Wei Chi said? The national interests are no small matter. In the future, all the ministers should always keep them in mind and remind themselves at all times, don't forget them."

"yes."

The ministers quickly saluted. Wei Chi felt a little sweaty in his heart, and accidentally threw out a motto. He didn't mean it, but just said it casually, Emei Tofu.

After Wei Chi said this, of course, he could not be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. His Majesty Li Er also figured it out. Perhaps this kid was not playing tricks, but telling the truth. Thinking about what this guy did after returning to the Tang Dynasty, if he was not soft-hearted, how could he foolishly get involved in royal affairs? Others were afraid of it. Thinking about the benefits of Wei Chi's stinky brat in the past, His Majesty Li Er gave up and stopped talking about what he wanted him to be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. He was also very caring for that guy.

Wei Chi knows his own family matters, and it is not a problem to get a small official in the idle department. But if he goes to a vital department to serve as a powerful official, it means he has to participate in the political struggle of the court. The ministers in the Tai Chi Hall are not tried old foxes. If he goes like this, he will probably only be cannon fodder, so it is better to be a little more peaceful. He also wants to watch his son marry his wife and hope to hold his grandson in the future. The medical school priest is also a high-ranking official, and he is also a third-rank official. Wei Chi is very satisfied.

There was no problem with the medical school, and the focus of the political discussion was shifted to other matters of the army's expedition. Wei Chi understood these things and did not interrupt. He just listened with his ears and listened without saying anything else. He was also good to increase his knowledge. By the way, he had never seen what the ancient army looked like when he went on a war. Now he listened to the ministers' discussions and found that there were many etiquettes and rules. Sacrifices were a major national event. There were sacrifices during the Chinese New Year and festivals, and sacrifices during the red and white festivals. He also had sacrifices for the war. Listening to one rule and etiquette, Wei Chi felt it was quite novel.

After the discussion, Wei Chi rubbed his eyes. This guy had a habit. As long as he got sick, he would sleep a lot. He sat in it for a long time. If it wasn't for the things he was talking about, he would have fallen asleep long ago. While rubbing his eyes, Wei Chi suddenly found that Wei Zheng was walking in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering the plans he had thought of during the autumn hunting, so he hurried up and said, "Please stay."

Wei Zheng stopped, with a serious face, and smiled rarely, saying, "Zi Yue called me, what's the point of doing?"

It seemed that it was a bit abrupt when he suddenly called him. Wei Chi felt a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know if Lord Wei has time. It's rare that the weather is good today. How about we go out for a drink?"

Wei Zheng looked up at the gray sky, smiled and said, "Is Ziyue having something to do with me? Is it the same here?"

This old-fashioned and sinister smelly old man! Wei Chi was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he had no choice but to say, "It seems that it is not convenient here. It's cold and my nephew is still sick. Please take care of Uncle Wei."

Wei Chi looked pitiful. Wei Zheng was from Qin Shubao's generation, so it was not an exaggeration to call him Uncle. Wei Zheng smiled and said, "In this way, I will bother Ziyue for a meal. Let me agree first. I am penniless and Ziyue treats me."

Wei Chi sweated for a moment and nodded hurriedly. Wei Zheng was the so-called honest official. The Censorate seemed to have no other source of income besides embezzlement and bribery. It seemed that if the honest officials in the past don’t know how to operate, their salary and family property seemed to be able to maintain their expenses. They lived a better life than ordinary families and would not be hungry, but the luxury and comfort they had ever said were far from reaching.

The two of them left the palace together. After Wei Chi asked Wei Zheng what he meant, he went to the restaurant, entered the private room, and called a hot pot. Wei Zheng said, "This hot pot is good. I occasionally buy the base ingredients for you to come back, and go back to make it in the kitchen to eat."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Just Lord Wei likes it, please use it, don't be polite."

Wei Zheng stirred up the food and looked at Wei Chi inexplicably, saying, "Although the food is tempting, I have to know why Ziyue called me first, otherwise, this meal would be uneasy to eat."

Wei Chi scratched his head and smiled and said, "It's not an important matter, nor is it asking Uncle Wei to help. Uncle Wei is honest and self-righteous. My nephew understands it. The reason why he called Uncle Wei was just to talk casually and talk about family matters. Uncle Wei's reputation is to be honest and honest, and he is in line with His Majesty and the ministers. He is famous all over the world. My nephew is a junior, admires his uncle's style and has a simple meal. What special intentions will he have?"

This kid started calling his uncle again. Wei Zheng smiled, no longer stuck, started to eat, and looked at the posture, without any politeness. He snorted in his eyes, Wei Chi was stunned and regretted in his heart. Who said that old man Wei Zheng was old-fashioned? Who would say this in the future, he immediately threw his shoes on! He was pretending. However, thinking about Old Man Wei's experience, he could understand his intention.

Thinking that Wei Zheng was a counselor at the beginning of King Xi Li Jiancheng, and gave Li Jiancheng many good ideas. He even suggested to Li Jiancheng to kill His Highness the King of Qin, His Majesty Li Er, who was the former King of Qin. But that guy Li Jiancheng didn't listen to him all, otherwise how could he end up in such a tragic ending? Later, he was taken under his command by His Majesty Li Er. Because of his embarrassing past, Wei Zheng wanted to be a loyal minister, and there was no chance. If he was a loyal minister, he would be slapping himself in the mouth and had no position at all. Therefore, Wei Zheng chose to be a straight minister, which made him famous now.

Wei Zheng is a scholar, a scholar who is completely different from Kong Yingda. He is completely different from Kong Yingda. Thinking about his approach, he can probably guess what he wants. But Wei Chi has never understood why such a smart person wants to do something that looks stupid? With the years he has been dealing with His Majesty Li Er, can't he understand the temperament of that Majesty? A mystery of history!

He accompanied Wei Zheng to eat a hot pot. Seeing that Wei Zheng had enough to put down his chopsticks, Wei Chi also put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Uncle Wei, eat and drink well, can you take the time to listen to your nephew's family matters?"

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "I have known for a long time that eating you is not an easy thing. Let me say it, what do you want to say?"

Wei Chi smiled, and his skin became thicker now. He scratched his head, thought about it, and simply said, "Uncle Wei, my nephew heard a rumor. After thinking about it, it would be better to listen to it with his uncle."

Wei Zhengqi said: "What kind of rumor is it that made Ziyue make such a decision?"

Wei Chi said: "I heard that my uncle had recorded his advice to His Majesty and watched it privately for Lord Chu Suiliang. My nephew has always admired Uncle Wei's character and did not want his uncle to be hurt by the villain. Therefore, after hearing this, he made his own decision and asked his uncle to have a small dinner. My nephew was reckless and young and ignorant. Please forgive me."

Wei Zheng did not comment, but just smiled bitterly, and said, "Thank you, Ziyue, as the saying goes, there is no wall that is not airtight. It seems that this is true. I will not deceive me."

Wei Chi smiled quietly and stopped talking. Wei Zheng calmed down and looked at Wei Chi meaningfully, and said, "As the reward for Zi Yue to inform him of this, I will ask your adoptive father to have thirty sticks. Goodbye."

After saying that, he got up and left with ease, leaving Wei Chi alone sitting alone, gritting his teeth, the smelly old man kindly advised him, and he actually repayed him like this! Black! It's so dark!

Wei Chi left the restaurant with gritted teeth, and when he got home, he looked angry and hummed. Not to mention that he was so depressed. Xie Jiu looked at it and asked, "What's wrong? Who's upset you?"

After Wei Chi said the matter, he said angrily: "Madam, do you think good intentions are not rewarded? Old man Wei Zhengqian, whether he is pushed tombstone or whipped from now on, he will not feel sympathy again!"

Xie Jiu ignored his angry words, frowned and pondered, and said, "I agree that I should hit you thirty rods!"

"...Madam, why do you agree? We are the ones with your family, right?" Wei Chi was a little amused. Xie Jiu gave him a blank look and said, "You are indeed reckless today. But... I have been reckless once, and we are even!"

"Uh...why?"

"I was reckless in treating the queen. Although the result was good, I was willful after all. And you were reckless in Wei Zheng's affairs, but the result is unknown. However, judging from Wei Zheng's words, he used protection as a thank you."

"I still don't understand!"

Wei Chi was honest and shook his head directly. Xie Jiu smiled bitterly and said angrily: "Do you know why Wei Zheng was pushed tombstone in history?"

Wei Chi nodded and said, "It's just a little bit of understanding. It seems that because someone told Taizong that Wei Zheng had privately told historian Chu Suiliang. Taizong felt that he had lost face, so he whipped him out of his anger."

Xie Jiu sighed: "Where do you see the unofficial history?"

Wei Chi was stunned: "What unofficial history? Is this official history good? Uh... Is there any secret? Come on, madam, tell me, I like to listen to stories the most, especially historical stories."

"You're poor!" Xie Jiu gave Wei Chi a blank look and said, "I have read the information in my mother's study. Does Chen Yinke know?"

Wei Chi shook his head honestly and said righteously: "I don't know, if you ask who Carl Rantstener is, then I can tell you who Chen Yinke is, and don't kill the sheep!"

Xie Jiu said: "To put it simply, he is a very famous historian. Regarding why Taizong hated Wei Zheng in history and even pushed down his tombstone after Wei Zheng's death, Mr. Chen believed that it was not only because of the rumor you said, but because Wei Zheng committed the taboo of Taizong."

Wei Chi is very humble and studious: "Please give me advice from my wife."

Xie Jiu said: "Wei Zheng was born neither aristocrats from Shandong, nor aristocrats from Guanlong, nor a warriors from Shandong. Therefore, the task assigned by Emperor Taizong was to monitor the Shandong aristocrats and Guanlong groups for the division and manipulation of various political groups and achieve some political uses. However, during Wei Zheng's lifetime, he recommended two people to Emperor Taizong - Du Zhenglun and Hou Junji, saying that they had the talent of the prime minister."

Wei Chi rubbed his chin and said, "If I remember correctly, these two people are indeed very talented. Putting aside prejudices, the two guys can be competent as prime ministers."

Xie Jiu nodded in agreement and said, "It's true, but the problem lies in the origin of these two people. Du Zhenglun is a Shandong nobleman and Hou Junji is from the Guanlong noble group. What do you think about Taizong knowing that Wei Zheng recommended these two people?"

Wei Chi gasped and said, "Form a clique for personal gain! This is really a taboo for the king. Especially Wei Zheng was ordered to monitor the people of these two groups. No wonder, no wonder. After you said this, I also agreed with Mr. Chen's point of view. Unfortunately, I have traveled through time, otherwise I would also go to read Mr. Chen's works."

Xie Jiu said: "Fortunately these things were exposed after Wei Zheng's death. Emperor Taizong pushed his tombstone in anger."

Wei Chi sighed: "No wonder, Taizong should trust Wei Zheng very much, otherwise he would not have been allowed to monitor two such important groups. We don't know what Wei Zheng thought, but for Taizong, this is a naked betrayal. Fame and fortune, how many people in ancient and modern times have seen through it and sighed."

"Wei Zheng is also a human being, not a saint." Xie Jiu smiled and said, "I know why Wei Zheng said he wanted his adoptive father to hit you with thirty rods?"

Wei Chi scratched his head depressedly, and said: "I understand. I will get the punishment myself. I will remember it in the future and no longer talk too much! Even the person I admire the most, I won't care. Madam remember to prepare the healing medicine for me, and I will go."

Xie Jiu touched his face and said sympathetically: "Be good! Go. Remember to pretend to be pitiful, and say that your father will be lighter if he doesn't define him... Forget it, I'll go with you."

Wei Chi sighed to the sky: "I'm stupid, I'm from Mars! I'm here to get beaten! Madam, do you think I'm having a fever this time and burning my head to death?"

Xie Jiu just laughed and said, "It's okay, just hold it a little bit. Wei Zheng owe you a favor. With his friendship with His Majesty and his talent, there will be nothing wrong this time. Just be beaten and get rid of yourself. Be good, bear it."

Wei Chi drooped his head and was very depressed. Such a big man would be spanked and turned back the more he lived! This time he must have a memory and ignore such things again!
