Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 10 He is a courtier
The mansion of Wei Guogong, the next Lang Weizheng of the current dynasty, is not big, with only three courtyards.

There are only six servants in the dignified Duke Wei's family, and Wei Zheng's wife even cooks for herself.

Compared with those palaces of princes and princes with thousands of buildings and hundreds of servants guarding the courtyard, Duke Wei's house is really too simple.

In Wei Zheng's study, Miss Wei who had met Li Yun before was standing opposite Wei Zheng, talking about what happened in the morning.

Wei Zheng is 48 years old, handsome and elegant, with a thin figure and a straight waist, just like him.

Miss Wei is his youngest daughter, and her name is Wei Wanyu.

There are four older brothers above Wei Wanyu, named Shuyu, Shuwan, Shulin, and Shuyu.

Her name includes the names of her second and fourth brothers, which shows Wei Zheng's love for her.

Wei Zheng not only loves Wei Wanyu, but even dotes on him.

Wei Wanyu said that she didn't like those sons-in-law of aristocratic families, and she wanted to choose her own husband, so Wei Zheng even agreed with Wei Wanyu to use couplets to select a husband.

Hearing Wei Wanyu's words at this time, Wei Zheng couldn't help looking at his daughter suspiciously.

"Wan Yu, is what you said true?"

This matter is too strange, and Wei Zheng also knew about the couplet, so he couldn't make it right.

He didn't believe that any young man could tell the truth.

And this man is very handsome and good-looking.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a beautiful dream.

Wei Zheng felt that this should be a story made up by Wei Wanyu himself.

Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't believe it, Wei Wanyu took over the couplet written by Li Yun.

"Father, look at what he wrote."

Then Wei Zheng saw Li Yun's thin golden characters. The thin golden characters were thin, stiff and upright, as if he was a person with great backbone.

Wei Zheng was fascinated when he saw it. He felt that the word matched his temperament very well.

"This word is really good. Is this written by that man?"

"Yes, Dad, I didn't lie to you."

Not only Li Yun's words, Wei Wanyu's own writing was also taken back. Wei Wanyu thought it was a beautiful memory, and she didn't want to show it to others.

Wei Zheng nodded, "Okay, daughter, I believe you, but you don't know the man's name, so what should I do?"

"Father, my daughter wants to go to Chang'an to look for him in the next few days."

The women of the Tang Dynasty are not those Yangzhou lean horses who cry and cry. Although Wei Wanyu is the daughter of a civil servant, she looks very sweet, but her personality is very generous.

Since Li Yun made a couplet, she identified Li Yun.

The man ran away, and she was going to look for Li Yun.

Wei Zheng nodded: "Okay, my father supports you, you go and find him, my father, please Your Majesty to make the decision for you."

"Thank you Dad."

Wei Wanyu then left.

Wei Zheng was not very happy in his heart.

He could tell that his daughter was very satisfied with that man, and he felt that Wei Wanyu would be at a disadvantage.

He planned to wait until he saw that man, he had to mention this man well, and let this man know, even if Wei Wanyu liked him.

He can't let Wei Wanyu down, let alone look down on Wei Wanyu, because Wei Wanyu is his daughter Wei Zheng.

……

Today, Changsun Wuji went to the palace to meet the saint, discussed some policies with Li Er, and then he was leaving the palace.

At this moment, the maid called to stop Changsun Wuji, saying that the queen had invited her.

A while later, Changsun Wuji met Empress Changsun in the Queen's Zhengde Hall.

"Hello, empress."

"Brother, you're welcome, hurry up and get up."

Empress Changsun saw Changsun Wuji saluting, and hurriedly supported Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji nodded, "Queen, what's the matter?"

The parents of the two died early, and they lived with their uncle, the eldest grandson Shunde. Although the eldest grandson Shunde cared about them very much, they were not their biological parents after all, so the two brothers and sisters were also dependent on each other.

The relationship between the two is very good, and Changsun Wuji has always spoken directly without any scruples.

Empress Changsun then recounted Li Shimin's recent events, and finally said: "Brother, I'm curious. Does Your Majesty have any friends in Chang'an that I don't know?"

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, "I'm also curious about this person, and I don't know his origin."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have known each other since they were teenagers, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts with Empress Changsun.

The two siblings almost grew up with Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's true direct descendant, he thought he knew everything about Li Shimin, so he was also surprised.

"Oh, brother has heard of this person?"

"I heard from Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling."

Changsun Wuji then said that Li Shimin's friends had made calculations, and that when there was a drought, they would stockpile food in time.

"I heard that Moutai was also invented by this person."

Empress Changsun frowned slightly when she heard the words, "It seems that there really is such a capable person, he is very talented, His Majesty is very convinced of him, he is very resourceful."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, "Would you like your Majesty to leave the palace next time? I'll send someone to watch."

Empress Changsun thought for a while, then nodded, "Yes."

The eldest grandson Wuji had no worries, their brother and sister were almost bound together with Li Shimin, and they didn't feel that Li Shimin had anything to hide from them.

Empress Zhangsun then thought of perfume, and took out two bottles of perfume and handed them to Zhangsun Wuji, "Brother, this is the perfume invented by that man. When you spray it on your body, the fragrance is overflowing. It smells very good. Take it back and give it to your sister-in-law."

Changsun Wuji was slightly taken aback, and then said: "This man is good at divination, brewing wine, and inventing perfume. This behavior is not like a pure minister, but a sycophantic minister."

A courtier is a courtier who is treacherous and flattering.

When Empress Changsun heard the words, she became more serious immediately, "If it is really such a subject, then I will definitely persuade Your Majesty to stay away from this person."

This is not a joke. Although Empress Changsun seldom cares about court affairs, she will come forward to persuade Li Shimin when necessary.

Wei Zheng offended Li Er many times, and sometimes Li Er even wanted to kill Wei Zheng, but Empress Changsun persuaded him to do so.

Changsun Wuji was satisfied to see his sister's resolute eyes under her weak face.

Then he picked up two bottles of perfume and left Zhengde Hall.

Empress Changsun watched Changsun Wuji leave, and sighed inwardly, thinking of the scene where Li Shimin talked about his friend, she couldn't help being a little curious.

She felt that Li Shimin was hiding something. Li Shimin seemed to want to say it, but he was not ready to say it?
"I share weal and woe with Erlang, what else should I hide from me?"

Empress Changsun was troubled, she didn't understand why Li Shimin was so out of touch this time.

"Hey, is this person really a courtier who wants to gain power by flattering him?"

"The Tang Dynasty is now politically clear, the court is full of talents, and the lives of the common people are flourishing. We must not let such a sycophant harm His Majesty."

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun secretly clenched her fists.

Even if my mother likes to use your perfume, but for the sake of Tang Dynasty, I still have to persuade Li Eryuan to be a villain and a good minister.
