Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"What? It hasn't been completed yet? Don't tell me that. I just want to know the result. When will it be completed?" The study room was filled with Li Shen's roar. As a leader, the task assigned by him was actually unexpected. How could Li Shen not be angry if it was not completed?

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that spring will start next year." Wang Xuance's voice sounded.

It turned out that Li Shen had too much money in his hand and felt it was a bit hot, so he built a road from Chang'an to the seaside on the pretext of praying for Concubine Wei. It is [-] miles long and was originally planned to be built by tens of thousands of people. It should be completed in more than half a year.

But there were still a few days until Zhengyuan Festival, and Wang Xuance told him that there were still five hundred miles left to repair. Why didn't this make Li Shen angry?

As a prince or their boss, he usually looks pleasant and gives out benefits, but the things assigned to him must be completed.

"Then tell me why it has not been completed. There are tens of thousands of people." In the past few months, Li Shen had forgotten about road construction.

Today I remembered that I had planned to make Concubine Wei and Li Shimin happy during the Zhengyuan Festival, but the result was such a disappointment.

"Your Majesty, I sent people to check. The main reason is that some of these tens of thousands of people are taking the lead in delaying. At the beginning, everyone was grateful to Your Majesty. He not only gave them high wages to survive the disaster years, but also took care of their meals. All the labor money was saved for the family. So at the beginning, the construction period was very fast and no one was lazy, but then..."

"What happens next?" Li Shen's face was gloomy.

“But many people later said that King Ji actually built the road to pray for Concubine Wei, and did not really want to help them.

And there are still many people who think that if the road is completed, they will not make money, so many people start to tell each other to slow down, and work will stop in the winter, so they need to wait until spring next year to continue the construction. "

"Bang~~~" Just as Wang Xuance spoke, Li Shen slammed the table and stood up.

"These white-eyed wolves are really fighting against each other. You bastards are so angry with me. Find out who is organizing the organization and who is the leader. How dare you delay my construction period? Do I care about money? ?What I care about is that the road has not been completed.

After next spring, these people will no longer be used for road construction. Next year, go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask which prefectures and counties closer to each other have poorer people.

We go there to recruit people and provide food and accommodation. And this time we can no longer work together like this, with a segmented responsibility system, where a fixed number of people are responsible for a fixed length of road section.

If the work is completed within the specified time, full wages will be paid, and one day's wages will be deducted for each additional day. If one day is missed, half a day's wages will be rewarded.

Anyone who is slacking off when I send someone to oversee the work should go home. "Li Shen was the most angry this time since time travel.

No matter how the family targeted him, Li Shen never got angry. After all, our positions are different, and it is normal for everyone to fight to the death for their own interests.

These victims really made Li Shen really angry. Originally, Li Shen felt that although he was not a saint, he could help himself if he was poor, and he could help the world if he was rich.

While you have vested interests, why not help people improve their lives?

But this incident told him that not everyone knows the word gratitude. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

----------------

Zhengyuan Li Shen was the same as in previous years. Although he was banned, Zhengyuan could still go to the palace for banquets.

This year, Li Shimin was even happier than in previous years. He drank until he was extremely drunk, and Li Tai, a fat guy, also kept making Li Shimin happy.

In fact, Li Shen didn't understand why Li Shimin liked this little fat man so much. Li Shen was jealous of all kinds of welfare rewards, and Li Shimin didn't even want to mention the loss of more than 80 yuan this time.

Princes Li Shen and Li Chengqian just watched quietly as Li Tai acted coquettishly and cutely in front of Li Shimin. It made Li Shimin so happy.

A big event happened in the first month after Zhengyuan. Wei Zheng became critically ill.

In fact, last year, the 16th year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng was seriously ill. Sun Simiao had already read it and said a lot of things that Li Shen couldn't understand. Finally, Li Shen judged that it was an old age disease caused by long-term fatigue.

Li Shen also went to visit, but with Li Shen's little medical skills, he couldn't figure out the reason. After all, Wei Zheng is 64 years old, which is considered a long life in this era when he can still have children in future generations.

"Your Majesty, someone from the palace said that His Majesty asked you to go to Zheng Guogong's mansion immediately. Your Majesty has already gone." Wei Fugui reported outside the study.

Li Shen knew that Wei Zheng might be dying. He quickly changed his clothes and went out, got on the carriage and went straight to Zheng Guogong's mansion.

When they arrived at Zheng Guogong's mansion, Li Shimin had already arrived. And he also brought Prince Li Chengqian and Princess Hengshan (Princess Xincheng) with him.

Li Shen had told Li Shimin before that there was nothing he could do. But Li Shimin still has illusions.

"Li Shen, the imperial doctor said it's only for a few days. Is there nothing you can do?" Li Shimin's face was filled with sadness.

"Ah, manpower is sometimes poor. Wei Gong is too old. Some things cannot be changed. There is really nothing I can do." Li Shen actually felt that it was a pity that Wei Zheng died. But he's not a god, and he doesn't have a system when he travels back in time.

"Hey," Li Shimin lamented, walked to Wei Zheng's bed, pulled Princess Hengshan and said to Wei Zheng: "Wei Gong, open your eyes and look at your daughter-in-law!" This was to tell Wei Zheng to betroth Princess Hengshan to his eldest son Wei Shuyu. , and at this time, Wei Zheng was too weak to get up to thank him.

Li Shen knew that Wei Zheng's deadline was approaching.

On Wuchen day of the first month of the 17th year of Zhenguan (February 643, 2), a generation of virtuous ministers passed away. News of Wei Zheng's death soon spread throughout Chang'an.

Li Shimin took hundreds of officials and some princes to attend the funeral. At the funeral, Li Shimin cried bitterly and was heartbroken. Li Chengqian invited Li Shen and Li Tai to comfort him. Seeing the situation, Li Shen even doubted whether Li Shimin would follow Wei Zheng.

Finally, Li Chengqian took Li Shimin back to the palace with his two younger brothers, and Queen Changsun and Concubine Wei also comforted him.

"Ah Ye, everyone has his own destiny. Duke Wei is already old, so this may be his fate. Ah Ye, don't be sad." Li Chengqian was still comforting Li Shimin.

"Wei Gong and I are both teachers and friends. Before Zhenguan, I had pacified the world, fought through hardships and dangers, and had nothing to give in to Xuan Ling's achievements. After Zhenguan, he assisted me wholeheartedly, offered his loyalty and advice, stabilized the country and benefited the people, and violated Yan Zheng's advice. , Wei Zheng is the only one who violated Kuang Zhen. How can I add such a famous official in ancient times?" Li Shen could see that Li Shimin was really sad.

Li Shimin did not go to court for five days after that, and ordered Prince Li Chengqian to mourn Wei Zheng in Xihua Hall.

An imperial edict was issued to posthumously make Wei Zheng the governor of Sikong and Xiangzhou, give him the posthumous title "Wenzhen", give him the title of "Wenzhen", give him the title of "Yu Bao", advocate for advocating, and give 40 overtime swords, [-] pieces of silk cloth, [-] pieces of rice and grain, and allow him to be buried with Zhaoling.

When he was about to be buried, Wei Zheng's wife Pei said: "Wei Zheng was frugal in his life. Now he is being buried according to the etiquette of a first-grade official. It requires too many ceremonial guards and utensils, which is not in line with Wei Zheng's wishes."

All ceremonial guards and items provided by the court were rejected. Only white cloth and curtains were used to decorate the plain cart carrying the coffin, without patterns, colors or coffins.

Li Shimin personally climbed up to the west tower of the imperial garden, looked in the direction of Wei Zheng's coffin and cried bitterly. He expressed his grief and ordered all officials to take the coffin out of the suburbs of Chang'an.

King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty was ordered to pay tribute to Wei Zheng. Li Shimin personally wrote an inscription for Wei Zheng and wrote it on the tombstone. After writing ten elegy for him to express his condolences, Li Shimin remembered Wei Zheng endlessly and granted his family [-] households.

Wei Zheng's death had a great impact on Li Shimin, whether it was acting or not, at least on the surface.

Li Shen had no choice but to follow Li Chengqian and visit the palace every now and then to relieve Li Shimin's worries.

Li Shimin's mood finally stabilized, but then something happened to Li Chengqian again.
