Chapter 32 Wei Zheng

Hearing this scolding Li Haochen, he was frightened. You should know that what Fang Xuanling said just now was indeed a bit taboo. The most taboo thing for emperors of any dynasty is to form cliques, because this will invisibly weaken the centralization and the power in the hands of the emperor.

Just when Li Haochen was shocked, the person who was talking outside the house had already walked into the room and bowed to Li Haochen and Fang Xuanling with a smile: "Brother Haochen, Mr. Fang, are you fine if you haven't seen him for many days?" After Li Haochen saw the person clearly, he felt relieved a little. The person who came was not the official current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, and Li Haochen's opposite sex brother.

Li Haochen also hurriedly replied: "It turns out to be Brother Wei. Why is Brother Wei at the door of my study? Mr. Xuanling's words just now were just a hypothesis. Please don't mind it!"

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "I came with Your Majesty just now, but when I arrived at your mansion, I was not very good at it. As a result, I sued His Majesty and went to the toilet in your mansion. I just came back and didn't see Your Majesty, so I heard the conversation between you and the two of you!" After hearing Wei Zheng's explanation, Li Haochen realized that Li Haochen was wondering just now. His mansion didn't say that the guards were strict, but no one could come in just when he wanted to come in. Even Wei Zheng had to inform him first before he could come in. Of course, if Wei Zheng came with the emperor, then I would say that last time Li Jiancheng came to serve as the general, most of the servants in this mansion had seen Li Jiancheng. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was coming, they naturally did not dare to stop Wei Zheng, who came with Li Jiancheng.

Seeing that Li Haochen's expression was still a little nervous and serious at this moment, Wei Zheng continued, "Haochen, you and I are in a relationship with each other. I naturally understand your character. If someone said the words just now, I would report to Your Majesty without saying anything and ask Your Majesty to send someone to arrest him, but it was you, Haochen, that's all. Which one in the court is not a gang, but everyone is not on the surface, but are there few small actions in private? If Haochen, you have a force in the court, I can be sure that although this force in the court is in your hands, it is definitely serving Your Majesty, and at the same time, you can also check and balance the forces in other courts. Why not do that if this is the case? Haochen, you are good just now, just treating you, the eldest brother, as an outsider!" Wei Zheng looked very angry as he said.

Li Haochen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wei Zheng's words. He did not expect that Wei Zheng would actually support him to form his own power in the court. In fact, when he thought about it, Li Haochen understood that Wei Zheng was a famous loyal minister. He said that he offended not only the emperor but also his colleagues. Even if Wei Zheng wanted to win over people, no one was willing to get close to him. At the same time, he was unwilling to form a government group with others, because once it was a group, fighting for profit was a benefit, which would make him be restrained when he was directly advised. However, if he had a power in the court, he would definitely help him if he needed anything in the future. Therefore, he agreed to form a power in the court, and he still agreed with both hands.

Seeing Wei Zheng's seemingly angry look, Li Haochen knew that he was not really angry, so he laughed and said, "I know that my elder brother is a humble gentleman with a broad mind. As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so he will definitely not have the same knowledge as me. Besides, what I just said is a taboo after all, I don't know what my elder brother's attitude is, so I will naturally answer this way!"

Wei Zheng was angry and just pretended to behave. When he heard Li Haochen's words, he quickly stepped down the steps and pointed Li Haochen with his hand and said, "You, you won't be the example! Next time I will cut my robe with you!" After saying that, he laughed.

Seeing this, Li Haochen laughed with him. People who didn't know thought something funny happened in this room was actually just two court officials with different goals, trying to cover up the embarrassing atmosphere.

After a moment, Wei Zheng stopped laughing and said seriously to Li Haochen: "I have heard all the three strategies that Mr. Fang has given you just now. I want to know, Brother Haochen, will you choose one?"

Li Haochen pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will end the best plan and harm the people. I will definitely not choose it. The worst plan will hurt the foundation of the country and cause the official earthquake. I will not choose it either. The Zhongshou can solve the problem and maintain stability. I choose the Zhongshou!" In fact, Li Haochen should not say this to Wei Zheng. Even if he said that he would only tell Fang Xuanling, the aide. However, Wei Zheng had just expressed his support for him to form a court group, so he naturally had to show some of his sincerity. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Wei Zheng to support him in the future. He was familiar with history in his previous life and naturally knew that multiple friends were better than multiple enemies in this era. This was like one plus one and one subtract one. The difference between the two was not one but two. Besides, he had a relationship with Wei Zheng and was in a minor way. He knew that Wei Zheng was a person worthy of his trust, but trust was trust, and the court was in the court. This was like a game, no matter what relationship you had outside the game, once you entered the game, you had to abide by the rules of the game.

Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction as Li Haochen said. As for whether Wei Zheng nodded satisfied because of Li Haochen's frankness or because of Li Haochen's choice, Li Haochen didn't know, or both.

After a while, Wei Zheng spoke, "I heard Mr. Fang say just now, you need someone who is good at judging cases, right? I wonder if there is someone in Brother Haochen's mind?"

Although Li Haochen was familiar with history in his previous life and knew famous generals and ministers, he really didn't know who was good at filing cases in this era. Even if he knew, at this moment, he could not invite famous officials and powerful officials in the court, and he could not find the hermits and masters outside the court. He heard Wei Zheng ask this, and he knew that Wei Zheng must have a candidate in his heart. The ability of the official officials in the current Tang Dynasty was naturally unable to compare with the prime minister of Wei Zheng. He quickly bowed to Wei Zheng and said, "I really have no suitable candidate at this time. Please ask Brother Wei to teach me!"

Wei Zheng laughed and stroked her goatee and said to Li Haochen with confidence: "There is a person who is the prince's official like you and me. He was the Sima of the Prince's Right Governor's Office. Last year, he moved to Shangluo County Magistrate of Shangzhou. This person's surname is Di and Xiaoxu. In his early years, he was known for his abilities and good at judging and reasoning. I have seen his political achievements this year in just one year, and he has handled the backlog of cases in Shangluo County for many years, and there was no wrong case! How did Haochen think this person?"
