Chapter 104 Chapter 107: Angry Kong Yingda

The emperor's mind has always been the most difficult to figure out. Li Shimin is the leader among the emperors. His mind is even more difficult to figure out. Qin Qiong's mind is relatively straight. He was hesitating whether to remind Li Hao or not.

Qin Qiong went home and thought about it all night, and thought it would be better to ask Cheng Yaojin about this matter, he knew Cheng Yaojin well, he looked rough, but in fact there were many thieves, so, early the next morning, Qin Qiong Came to Cheng Yaojin's house.

Qin Qiong is almost in good health now. Cheng Yaojin was so happy when he saw him visit, he wanted to pull him to drink when his forehead got hot, and then he remembered that Qin Qiong can't drink, so he had to give up, everyone sit down and drink tea .

The two were drinking tea in the living room. Qin Qiong asked Cheng Yaojin to retreat to the left and right servants, and then told Cheng Yaojin about the conversation with Li Shimin yesterday. I think it's best for you and me not to get involved in this matter."

"Why is that?" Qin Qiong frowned, "You and I know Li Hao as a man, and His Majesty's unreasonable suspicion is really unreasonable."

"Big brother, be careful." Cheng Yaojin persuaded, "I know, big brother, you have always attached great importance to friendship, and Li Hao has a life-saving favor for you, so he has to repay you, but, Li Hao is not a cheap guy. Deng, it doesn't matter how we interact with him, but it's better not to get involved in this aspect, so as not to offend His Majesty for no reason."

Qin Qiong frowned even more when he heard this: "Bite gold, have you forgotten your origin when you become a big official? Not to mention how much Li Hao has been to me, he has a lot of kindness to your family, right? In 15, he earned at least [-] yuan for you.”

"Business matters, you can't talk about feelings." Cheng Yaojin said without changing his expression, "Brother, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Now it's different from before. We are no longer alone. If one person is convicted, the whole family and even The whole family will suffer."

Qin Qiong was silent when he heard the words, Cheng Yaojin was right, they are now a big family, and they are no longer in the state they were in when they were fighting everywhere, Cheng Yaojin's concerns are reasonable.

Although the reasoning is such a reasoning, Qin Qiong still feels very uncomfortable. He is such a straightforward person who repays kindness and revenge. In his opinion, faith is more important than anything else.

Qin Qiong was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly, bowed his hands to Cheng Yaojin solemnly, and said, "Yaojin, I'm not fit to come out, so you can do me this favor and remind Li Hao, it's just a reminder, Nothing will happen."

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin hurried forward to hold his hand. His heart was very complicated. To be honest, he also liked Li Hao, a junior, but he was a little selfish. Before doing things, he had to think about himself first. This is his nature. The merchant's mind, now that his sworn brothers have done this, how can he refuse, hesitated, nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, brother, I will remind him when I find a chance."

With his promise, Qin Qiong finally felt at ease, and the atmosphere of the next tea drinking was much more harmonious.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the first court meeting after the new year, Li Shimin proposed Li Hao’s memorabilia in the hall. Naturally, it was a matter of setting up a scientific research institute. When Kong Yingda heard that it was Li Hao’s proposal, he immediately jumped out to oppose it. There were many reasons. He also said that it was a waste of money for the people, that Li Hao lacked morality, and that Li Hao was useless, anyway, he said a lot of bad things about Li Hao.

The point is that this time Li Hao was ordered by Li Shimin to participate in this court meeting. He stood at the end and listened to every word Kong Yingda said. Being insulted in public like this, no matter how thick-skinned Li Hao is, he still has a little to bear. Can't live.

Then Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang and others seconded the proposal and opposed Li Hao's memorial. Li Shimin was unhappy and shouted in his heart: "You know a hammer, and you only have the words of a saint in your heart, and the words of a saint can make the people full. Fanbang, can the words of a sage defeat Fanbang!"

But as the wise and mighty Tian Khan, he couldn't say such a thing, otherwise it would be strange if the rotten scholars in the court didn't spray him to death. Wei Zheng must be the first to jump out and scold him.

Li Shimin can't say, it doesn't matter, he has a spokesperson, anyway, he has already got through with Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, so he pretended to glance at the officials, and then asked: "Auxiliary machine, what do you think about this matter?"

Changsun Wuji went out to salute and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I don't agree with Kong Jijiu's words."

The eldest grandson Wuji had already started to play, and Li Shimin immediately started to cooperate, raised his eyebrows, and spread his hands: "Oh? You have a different opinion on the auxiliary machine, let's hear it."

"Yes." Changsun Wuji said slowly, "Kong Jijiu said that Li Haomuwu's teacher's morality is corrupt, and I think what he said is true. Everyone must have heard of Li Hao's virtue."

The corners of Li Hao's mouth twitched when he heard this, it's about this time, this old guy is still coming to make up for it.

I only heard Changsun Wuji continue to say: "However, even if Li Hao has lost his virtue, he is still a great talent in the Tang Dynasty. A blueprint of Quyuanli saves time and effort for many people in the Tang Dynasty. Ignoring the sufferings of the people, farmers pay great attention to the seasons and climate in farming, if the time is delayed, the harvest of the year will be reduced. How can ordinary people have such merits.”

"Well, what the auxiliary machine said is very kind." Li Shimin nodded and said in cooperation, "The Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture, and farming is a national affair. It is not easy for Li Hao's son with a weak crown to work hard on farming and devote himself to it."

Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, the responsibility of the Science and Technology Research Institute is to create new things like Quyuanli. Of course, it can also create new weapons. This kind of government office is the first of its kind in history. , are all great acts of kindness.”

Kong Yingda said loudly angrily: "Hmph, do you know how much money is needed to open this research institute? Now it's the beginning of the year, and you are going to spend a lot of money on the national treasury? If there is another disaster, how will you deal with it! This kind of waste of people and money, the old man will never promise!"

Changsun Wuji heard the words and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Li Hao how many people and how much money this scientific research institute needs."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Where is Li Hao?"

Li Hao went out to salute: "My minister is here."

Li Shimin asked slowly: "How much manpower and money is needed to open this scientific research institute?"

Li Haodao: "Returning to Your Majesty, you need one official, 20 craftsmen, and [-] ordinary workers. As for money, [-] guan is enough."

"Is [-] guan enough?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Well, I will pay the money, and there is no need for the Ministry of Households to allocate funds."

"Your Majesty is wise." Changsun Wuji bowed, and the establishment of a scientific research institute was settled in this way.

Seeing that the matter had been decided, Kong Yingda decided to settle for the next best thing, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the veteran has nothing to say about the establishment of a research institute, but Li Hao must never be appointed as the director of the institute! This son is treacherous, cunning, shameless, and He has no respect for his elders, and his moral conduct is corrupt. If this son becomes an official, it will be a shame to all officials."

At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"speak!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have always selected talents and used them. Li Haoping is a talent for fighting plagues, curing droughts, and promoting agriculture. He is indeed a talent for strengthening the country. Apart from Li Hao, who else can be competent for the position of court director?"

Kong Yingda snorted coldly when he heard the words: "I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty. Is there no one who can match this bastard? Your Majesty, the old minister strongly recommends Cen Wenwen to be the head of the Academy of Sciences."

Cheng Yaojin on the side burst out laughing suddenly when he heard the words, he had a loud voice, even the laughter was louder than others, the whole Tai Chi Hall heard it.

Kong Yingda saw that she was actually being laughed at by a reckless man, she was furious, glared at Cheng Yaojin, and shouted: "Duke Lu, why are you laughing at this old man!"

Cheng Yaojin shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows, with an innocent look: "It's just a smile, it's in your way? Which eye of yours sees that the old man is laughing at you?"

"Don't make excuses!" Kong Yingda angrily pointed at Cheng Yaojin, stared and shouted, "You are just laughing at me!"

Cheng Yaojin simply played with the hob, and said with a smile: "Yes, I just laughed at you! Cen Wenwen? Cen Wenwen is the director of the research institute? What did he go to do? Write articles?"

Cen Wenwen on the side blushed when he heard the words. Cheng Yaojin made sense. The research institute is a place for inventions. The director must be proficient in construction. : "Kong Jijiu, my talent is ignorant, I am afraid that I will not be qualified for only one position, and it is even more difficult to be qualified for the post of director. Please recommend someone else."

Kong Yingda's face turned pale when he heard the words. He didn't expect Cen Wenwen to be so uncooperative with him. He suddenly found that Cen Wenwen had been winking at him, followed his gaze, and found Yuan Tongzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. His eyes lit up immediately. This is not Are you a professional, hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister strongly recommends Yuan Tongzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to concurrently serve as the director of the hospital."

Yuan Tongzhi shook his head quickly when he heard the words, and said, "Master Kong, my talents are limited and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Please recommend someone else."

Kong Yingda was dumbfounded immediately, why Yuan Tongzhi refused, this is impossible, he is a professional.

Of course Yuan Tongzhi refused. Although he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he also thought that he only had a little understanding of craft construction. After all, the minister was not a craftsman. His responsibility was to coordinate work, maintain the normal operation of the Ministry of Industry and Even dealing with officials of other ministries, when it comes to structure knowledge, he is not as good as Wang Chaosheng.

Kong Yingda felt that she had fallen into a dead end, and no one was willing to cooperate with her, so uncomfortable.

Li Shimin didn't want this old pedant to be too embarrassed, so he said at this moment: "Okay, since no one is qualified for the post of dean, let Li Hao take the post."

At the end of the tossing, Li Hao was still made the director of the Academy of Sciences. Kong Yingda turned pale with anger. He felt the malice from this world. If this was not the Tai Chi Hall, he would definitely yell: "Why! This is why!"

After the Great Chaohui ended, Li Hao had just walked down the stone steps of the Taiji Hall when he saw Kong Yingda waiting outside, pointing at him angrily and yelling: "Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!"

Li Hao was stunned at the time. He didn't expect that he would be scolded like this just after becoming an official, and this time it was no longer about him being a bastard, but a traitor. Qin Hui didn't know what a traitor was, did he? It is a traitor.

Li Hao was very depressed. It felt like meeting a mad dog blocking the road, staring at him and barking non-stop. He was so helpless, he bypassed Kong Yingda and walked forward with his head down. It looked like he was walking in a race.

Unexpectedly, Kong Yingda didn't want to let him go at all, and just stared at him and yelled at him. The more he scolded, the more he scolded him.

Li Hao couldn't bear it any longer. Even if I offended you before, I was punished. You hold grudges like this, you don't distinguish between public and private, chasing after me and scolding me, you think I have no temper, right?He suddenly turned around, stared at Kong Yingda, and said loudly: "Old Master, go home and teach your books well, don't come to the court to make trouble, you are not that kind of material at all, you are the real minister of mischief!"

"You...what are you talking about...it's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Kong Yingda was so angry that he shook his body from this sentence. It was the first time he heard such malicious words at such an advanced age, saying that he was a minister who harmed the country. , Said that he is only worthy of teaching?

After Li Hao said this sentence, he turned around and ran away. If he didn't run, why didn't he stay and fight with him?He didn't want to waste his saliva.
