Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 584 Books
Chapter 580

Li Shimin heard Empress Changsun say that Li Lizhi came to pick up books. It was very strange. Wei Hao was not a reader. He had given him a lot of books before, but Wei Hao didn't really read those books. Borrowed dozens of copies.

"Borrowing books? Can Shen Yong read books? Or Li Zhi read books? And borrow so many books at once?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun with a puzzled expression and asked.

"The concubine doesn't know. Li Zhi wants the book, so the concubine can't refuse it? Besides, reading books is also a good thing, but they don't know how to read them at all. If they lose my books, then It's a pity!" Li Shimin said with a bit of distress, the books he brought from Chang'an were all his favorite books.

"Your Majesty, since they like it, it's a good thing to show them!" Empress Changsun also persuaded Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and still said a little depressed: "I know, but he is not a reader. Forget it, I will ask him in a few days. If he doesn't read it, he will return it immediately!"

Empress Changsun smiled, knowing that Li Shimin loves those books. If Wei Hao likes to read, then Li Shimin will definitely have no objection. The key is that Wei Hao doesn't read them.

And after Wei Hao returned to Luoyang that night, he was at home and didn't go out very much. He also wanted to rest for a few days. I went to see it every day, and Wei Hao also made up his mind to go to see it every morning when the weather was not hot, and not to go out after returning home.

"Shen Yong, what are you busy with?" At this moment, Li Lizhi pushed open the door of Wei Hao's study room and asked casually.

"Well, write some field investigation notes!" Wei Hao stood up, helped Li Lizhi to sit on a chair.

"Yesterday, people from the printing workshop came to me and said they wanted books. I didn't dare to give them the things in your study room. Some of them were written by you, and they might be very important. So I went to the palace to find them. Father took 50 books and handed them over to them! Is this printing workshop the stuff in the box you gave me back then?" Li Lizhi is very smart. Three years ago, when Wei Hao was fighting with the family, at that time Wei Hao's situation is very critical, so he handed over the printing technology to Li Lizhi in advance.

"Well, yes!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile, and then sat there to make tea.

"Now that it can be released, the aristocratic family has learned about it, will they have any greater opinions on you?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao worriedly and asked.

"Hmph, I have a problem with me. This workshop was supposed to start a year ago, but I'm busy and have no time. Besides, those aristocratic families in the capital haven't given me an explanation yet. They came to our house last time and wanted me to give them some shares? It's okay, don't worry, I'm not afraid of them now!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Li Lizhi.

"Anyway, it's good if you think it over clearly. However, you really shouldn't be afraid of them. You weren't afraid of them before, and you're even less afraid now." After hearing this, Li Lizhi nodded in support of Wei Hao, then looked at Wei Hao and asked: "You went back this time, went to the East Palace?"

"Well, I went. I had lunch in the East Palace at noon. His Highness is also in a very critical situation. If I don't go, he will be in even more trouble." Wei Hao nodded in response, and Li Lizhi sighed after hearing this.

Seeing her like this, Wei Hao immediately persuaded her and said, "It's okay, after six months of precipitation, the prince will become more mature, so don't worry too much."

"I know, you are thinking about me, and you don't want my elder brother to be abolished like this, but have you considered Father, if you go against Father's wishes, Father may blame you at that time." Li Lizhi looked Wei Hao reminded.

"It's alright, father doesn't have the idea of ​​abolishing big brother now, even if he did, he won't put it into action now, it will probably take a few years until your younger brothers grow up before he thinks about it." Now, no matter how dissatisfied the father is with this matter, he will not take it seriously, so now His Royal Highness still has a chance!" Wei Hao took Li Lizhi's hand, looked at her with a smile and said,
He knew that Li Lizhi was very worried about Li Chengqian. Although there were many dissatisfaction in the innermost part, he was still thinking about him.

"Well, that's good. I hope that my elder brother can understand those principles sooner. If you don't understand, it will be useless no matter how you help him. You may even say that he will bite you back!" Li Lizhi nodded and said. "Hey, let's talk about it. I hope His Highness understands it. If I don't understand it, I can't help it. Fortunately, you have two younger brothers!" Wei Hao also sighed when he heard it.

"How about Qingque?" Li Lizhi asked after hearing what he said.

"Qingque's growth surprised me a bit. I used to think that he was small, smart but not broad-minded, but in the past two years, he has become much broader-minded and more sophisticated, and even surpassed his elder brother in some aspects. , It's hard to say now, I also hope that he will not make mistakes, otherwise, Father will also punish him!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi seriously at the moment,
Wei Hao was surprised by Li Tai's growth. In the past few years, his mind has indeed grown a lot, and this governor of Jingzhao Mansion is very qualified, much better than Li Chengqian, and has a reputation among the people. Yes, some ministers are also supporting Li Tai.

"Well, that's good. Where's the third brother? How about the third brother?" Li Lizhi then looked at Wei Hao and asked. Wei Hao smiled wryly when he heard it.

"No?" Li Lizhi asked immediately when she saw him like this.

"In fact, your third brother is also very strong, and he also has means. The emperor actually likes him very much, but because the elder brother and the queen mother are here, he has been suppressing him, but the third brother is capable. Qing Queqiang just said, hey, if the eldest brother is really abolished, the third brother has a chance,
But for generals, it is estimated that there will not be many people who support him, and for civil servants, those veterans who are with His Majesty may not support him, this is his disadvantage!If you put these aside, the third brother may do better than the eldest brother and Qingque. "Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi,
Li Lizhi also sighed and nodded, then looked at Wei Hao, hesitant to speak.

"Don't say anything, I understand, I definitely support the elder brother, if the elder brother can't, I will support the fourth and ninth younger brothers, you can rest assured!" Wei Hao said without waiting for Li Lizhi to speak .

"Well, it's all up to you. The queen mother also means the same thing. The queen mother knows that the father has a lot of opinions on the eldest brother and also likes the third brother, so I am worried that something will go wrong!" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said worriedly.

"No, don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen in these years at least!" Wei Hao took Li Lizhi's hand and said reassuringly. In the next few days, Wei Hao will go to the farmland in the suburbs in the morning. Just hiding in the governor's mansion and not going out, it's too hot, Wei Hao doesn't want to go out,
This morning, Wei Hao just came back. The person in charge of the printing workshop is also an old man in Wei’s mansion. His name is Wei Chenhe. His surname was given to him by his father. At the age of 30, he has always been loyal to Wei Fu. He was mainly in charge of Wei Furong's business before, but as Wei Hao's business increased, Wei Furong stopped managing his own business and handed over all those people to him. Gave it to Wei Hao.

"My lord!" Wei Chenhe said immediately after reaching Wei Hao's study.

"Hey, brother is here, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao saw him, stood up and said immediately.

"Young master, you can't call him that, you should be ashamed to accept it!" Wei Chenhe immediately said humbly.

"It's okay, it's okay at home, is my sister-in-law still used to it?" Wei Hao came over with a smile, asked him to sit down, and poured him tea.

"I'm used to it, the master has arranged it so well, and now my income is also high, and I have hired two servants at home!" Wei Chenhe sat down and said happily.

"By the way, my lord, these are printed books. I picked three sets, two books in each set. Take a look, lord, is that okay? In addition, I bought 100 million sheets of paper from the Beijing Paper Workshop. They Now 20 copies have been sent, and we have to wait for the next one, but 20 copies will be enough for a while." Wei Chenhe took out the package containing the books, unwrapped it, and said to Wei Hao.

"Well! Business matters are up to you. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. In addition, the royal side will send someone over soon. As for you, get along well with him. If you can get along, get along with me. If you can't get along, get along with me. Say, I just let the royal family change, but don’t deliberately make things difficult for them, it’s pointless!" Wei Hao took the book, opened it and looked at it, it was very comfortable, then Wei Hao took out the original book, flipped through it and compared it.

"Don't worry, my lord. I know that as long as he doesn't infringe on the interests of our Wei family, the little one can bear with it." Wei Chenhe nodded and said.

"Well, not bad, the printing is good, the binding is also good, very good, brother, thanks for your hard work!" Wei Hao flipped through the books, nodded and said in satisfaction.

"It's not hard work, just watch them work. Those machines are all made by you, my lord!" Wei Chenhe immediately said with a smile, Wei Hao said yes, that's good.

"Well, okay, increase the printing, and hurry up for other books. As I said before, 20 copies of each book will be printed first, and when it needs to be printed again!" Wei Hao said to Wei Chenhe .

"Yes, son, look at the others!" Wei Chenhe then said to Wei Hao. Wei Hao nodded and continued to read those books. There was no problem. Wei Hao was very satisfied. When Wei Chenhe was leaving, Wei Hao Ask the servant to get a few catties of good tea, and ask Wei Chenhe to take it back and drink it.

Just as Wei Chenhe was sent away, an eunuch came from the palace, saying that Li Shimin had summoned him to have lunch.Wei Hao stood at the door, looking at the sun outside, and really wanted to say, can we not go, and bask in the sun after lunch, it's such a hot day!
"What's the matter, Father?" Wei Hao stood there, looking at the eunuch and asked.

"Go back to Xia Guogong, no! I just let you go to have lunch." The eunuch said with his hands clasped.

"Hey, it's such a hot day, okay, let's go!" Wei Hao sighed, and he didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, as if he had no food at home.

Soon, Wei Hao arrived at the palace. Li Shimin was reading the memorial, and he was full of anger. Goguryeo continued to erode the territory of the Northeast, and the garrison in the Northeast often fought with them. Common people, at the same time, Goguryeo has many troops over there. The Tang army dare not pursue too far to avoid being ambushed. Li Jing and Qin Qiong are also here in the study.

"Tell me, do I want to fight Goguryeo first or Western Turks and Tubo first?" Li Shimin sat there and said very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the threat from the Western Turks is even greater, and Goguryeo is full of high mountains and dense forests. It is difficult to fight the national war. It is estimated that 30 troops will be prepared, and hundreds of thousands of civilians will be used at the same time. Such a war will cost a lot of money." It's too big!" Li Jing said while touching his beard.

"With an army of 30, it won't last for two years. We are not familiar with the terrain there. Although we have been sending agents there and doing some sand tables, there are still many places that we haven't figured out. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will be destroyed." Lost!" Qin Qiong also looked at Li Shimin and suggested.

Li Shimin stood up very irritatedly. When Emperor Sui Yang's expedition to Goguryeo, 10,000+ soldiers were buried here. Goguryeo is really not easy to fight, but it can't be done if you don't fight. Bring about a great crisis!

"Your Majesty, Duke Xia is here!" At this time, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, let him in!" Li Shimin nodded, and then Wang De went out. After a while, Wei Hao came in, first saluted Li Shimin, then saluted his father-in-law Li Jing and Qin Qiong.

"Good boy, I've always wanted to find you and thank you in person, but I haven't been able to find you, boy! You are so busy!" Qin Qiong said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, I've been idle for the past few days, Uncle Qin, if you have any orders, just say it, but don't say thank you!" Wei Hao sat down and said to Qin Qiong.

"Well, this little life of the old man depends entirely on you. If not, I probably have to confess!" Qin Qiong said, holding Wei Hao's hand.

"Well, Shenyong's medicine is really good! The soldiers on the front line also praised it!" Li Shimin nodded beside him.

"As long as it works!" Wei Hao said.

"Shen Yong, my father has something to ask for your opinion. Tell me, should I punish Goguryeo? If I want to fight, I should hit him hard and let him die directly!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Now?" After hearing this, Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.

"It may be too late this year. If we want to fight, we will do it after the spring of next year!" Li Shimin stroked his beard, looked at Wei Hao and asked.
