"One million pennies?"

Wei Renji was shocked by the price Li Shen offered, and even Wei Renji opened his mouth wide.

Although Wei Baizi was from a noble family, to be honest, he had never seen 20 yuan in his life.

Although the Wei family also earns one million a year, their Xiaoyao public housing does not have that much.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, is this...a little too much?" Wei Renji said.

This was obviously Li Shen's big talk and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail them.

"Old Wei clan man, I just said that Wei Ting is a fourth-rank minister. If you want to resolve this matter, do you really think you can decide it with just one word from me?"

Li Shen picked up the tea and took a sip of tea, then said to Wei Renji seriously:

"It's not that I want your money, but that I use your money to do your things. If you want to do things without spending money, who will do it for you."

"But Your Majesty, even if you plan everything, you shouldn't have spent so much money. See if it's a little less, so you don't have to spend money that shouldn't be spent." Wei Renji said cautiously.

"Haha, what should be spent and what shouldn't be spent? I can tell you that as long as the money comes from me, it is the money that should be spent.

Mr. Wei, you should know the principles of this world better than I do. Your Wei family can be considered an old family that has been standing for such a long time.

Don’t you know what it means to wait for the price? "

Li Shen's words left Wei Renji speechless. Although he didn't agree with what Li Shen said, he felt that there was some truth to it.

"Wei Clan elder, Wei Ting has been a fourth-rank official. In the future, he will be promoted to third-rank officials and become prime minister.

Think about it, none of the important ministers of Chaozhongzhongshu, including Changsun Pushe and Fangpushe, have not been demoted or sent down.

But now, he is not in a high position in the government,

why is that? Because their people are still there, their knowledge, experience, and abilities are still there, so sooner or later, His Majesty will initiate the gift.

A mere 20 yuan may give your Wei family a prime minister of the day. How much do you think that is?

Do you think 20 yuan is important? Or is it more important to be a prime minister? "

Li Shen's words immediately touched the hearts of Wei Renji and Wei Tingqi. Now Wei Ting is already in the fourth rank.

The third rank is not far away. If Wei Ting can take another step forward, then there will be a steady stream of senior officials in the Wei family.

Wei Ting's heart was even more passionate. Indeed, if Wei Ting could become a prime minister-level figure, wouldn't he be able to rise to prominence in the future?

"Okay! 20 yuan is 20 yuan, but His Highness Prince Ji wants to make sure that Wei Ting has nothing to do. Even if he is dismissed from office, it cannot mean that he will never be hired."

In the end, Wei Renji gritted his teeth. He knew that Wei Ting still had some connections after being an official for so many years, and with the help of the Wei family,

If you say two more years, Wei Ting will be reinstated and even be entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Hahahaha, don't worry about this. You can go out and inquire. I am the most honest person in my work. Although Wei Ting cannot be reinstated, there is still no problem in keeping him.

And I can collect the money after the work is completed. You see if I am very sincere, I can put the money first. "

When Li Shen heard that Wei Renji agreed, he immediately laughed happily.

Not only did Wu Qian Guan come back, but he also brought back so many friends.

The matter has been reached, Li Shen asked Wei Fugui to send Wei Renji away.

"Uncle Clan, can this King Ji really help me? What if he lied to us?" Wei Bai asked on the way back.

"Well, there is nothing we can do now. The aristocratic family has also begged for mercy. Unfortunately, His Majesty is not in Chang'an now, and His Majesty will most likely deal with you Aye in Luoyang.

That’s why we came to see Prince Ji and Concubine Wei,

One thing King Ji said is right. What you, Aye, have committed this time is indeed a serious crime. It is unlikely that you will be beheaded, but there is a high chance that you will be reassigned, or like Wang Weitu, you will never be hired after being dismissed from office. "

Weirenji replied.

In any case, Wei Renji still trusts Li Shen. The important thing is to pay him after the matter is completed.

After Wei Renji and Wei Daizi left, Li Shen sent Wang Xuance away, returned to the study, and wrote a letter in a hurry,

"Shitou, hurry up and send it to Ziwei Palace in Luoyang and give it to me, Aye.

Just say no beheading or exile. Go quickly, don't be late, I am very particular about integrity. "

"Yes, Prince." Shitou took Li Shen's letter and went out.

Li Shen sat in front of the desk, staring blankly at the window, his eyes dull, as if he was thinking.

Finally he sighed softly.

"Hey, what's the difference between me and a corrupt official?"

~~~~~~~~~

Ziwei Palace is the imperial palace that serves as the capital of Luoyang, also known as Ziwei City. It was built in the first year of Emperor Sui Yang’s Daye in the Sui Dynasty.

It was named after Ziwei Palace, the palace of the Emperor of Heaven.

It was originally called Taichu Palace and later renamed Ziwei Palace.

Li Shimin went out with such a big wife because Ziwei Palace was so big.

Li Shimin already knew about Wei Ting's dereliction of duty and became furious.

The Eastern Expedition Plan was planned and implemented for many years, and a lot of manpower and material resources were invested in it.

Li Shimin was determined to win Goguryeo, and now someone dared to delay his important event. How could Li Shimin not be angry?

The most important thing is that there are people interceding for Wei Ting.

People like the Aristocratic Family really don't take Datang's affairs seriously, saying it's just a trivial matter.

Li Shimin was thinking about how to deal with Wei Ting at the moment.

In the past few days, hundreds of memorials have been sent to the imperial court, all pleading for Wei Ting's mercy.

Originally, he was planning to send Wei Ting to a bitter cold land, but now so many people were begging for mercy, he was a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, Shi Shi, the manager of Prince Ji's Palace of Marriage Affairs, has asked to see you. He said it is a letter from His Highness Prince Ji." A eunuch came from outside to report.

"Let him come in." Li Shimin put down his thoughts. He regretted coming here. It would be better to bring Li Shen here, which would add a lot of fun.

"My servant is here to see your majesty." Shitou saluted after entering.

"Well, where is the letter your master asked you to bring?" Li Shimin nodded and asked.

Shitou quickly took out Li Shen's letter from his arms and handed it to Wang De.

Li Shimin opened Li Shen's letter and took a look. It was indeed his son's original letter.

What Li Shen said in his letter was very simple. He had accepted money from the Wei family and asked him to help, and then he was willing to spend [-] to take care of the matter.

If he agrees, he can immediately invest [-] yuan in internal funds. If he doesn't want to, it doesn't matter.

"This traitor is becoming more and more outrageous. Now he actually dares to accept bribes to do things for others." Li Shimin cursed,

Then he raised his head and continued to ask:

"What else does your master have to say?"

"Your Majesty, the prince said, as long as he doesn't be beheaded or exiled." Shitou lowered his head and replied.

"Yeah," Li Shimin nodded.
