Chapter 402 Wei Zheng secretly covets Yuchihuan corn

Wei Zheng then opened the imperial edict and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became!

Wei Zheng didn't expect that Li Er knew that he asked Yuchihuan for corn seeds last night!

Moreover, Li Er issued an order to requisition Wei Zheng's corn seeds today!

"Eunuch, isn't your majesty a little unreasonable?"

Wei Zheng was indignant after reading the imperial decree, and wanted to go to Ganlu Hall to seek Li Er's defense.

The eunuch passing the decree snorted coldly and said, "Master Wei, His Majesty's will must not be violated, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Wei Zheng thought for a while and finally gave in: "Please send a message to your father-in-law and your majesty. I will promise not to let outsiders steal corn seeds!"

"Master Wei, this servant will help you pass the message!"

The eunuch passed the decree, holding Buddha's dust in his hand, and said: "If there is nothing wrong, the servants will leave!"

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

Wei Zheng collected the memorial and personally sent the eunuch who passed the decree to leave Yushitai.

The officials at the Censor's Office looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Wei Zheng would personally deliver the eunuch's order.

These behaviors were despised by some noble censors.

They felt that Wei Zheng was flattering eunuchs and had no integrity as a scholar.

Eunuchs are basically slaves of the emperor!
These eunuchs are the people the Censor Yanguan dislikes the most!
Wei Zheng ignored the opinions of his subordinate officials, he immediately sent someone home to inform Mrs. Wei after receiving Li Er's memorial!
The two pieces of corn that Yuchi Huan gave to Wei Zheng when he retired from the court today were also sent home by him.

After arranging the family affairs, Wei Zheng began to get busy in the mountains of impeachment memorials.

The impeachment memorials of the entire Tang Dynasty were sent to Yushitai!

At present, the Tang Dynasty has ten territories, more than 300 states, and more than 2000 counties!
There are tens of thousands of officials above the fifth rank alone!
It is conceivable how terrifying the memorials that Wei Zheng needs to read every day are!
Soon, Wei Zheng got into work!

The Censor Yan Guan in the Censor's Office also followed suit, and no one dared to be lazy.

……

Gyeonggi-do, Lantian County!
Weijiazhuang!
At noon, the servants of the Wei family finally arrived at Wei's village!
At this moment, Mrs. Wei had already planted the corn seeds according to Yuchihuan's instructions.

This time, the Wei family planted a total of [-] acres of cornfields!
But when Mrs. Wei heard the message from her servant, she was stunned!
"So, doesn't the corn field planted by my family belong to the imperial court?"

Mrs. Wei was a little bit unwilling, but she had no choice but to accept her fate.

Mrs. Wei finally obeyed Wei Zheng's order and arranged ten family generals to guard the corn field to prevent the corn seeds from being stolen.

At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army hiding near Weijiazhuang also dressed up as farmers and hoeed nearby.

When these imperial guards saw the generals of the Wei family coming to guard the corn fields, they immediately sent people back to notify Li Er.

In the afternoon, the Yulin Army finally sent the situation of the cornfields in Weijiazhuang back to Ganlu Hall.

Li Er listened to the report of the Imperial Forest Army, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Although Wei Zheng is a bit old and cunning, he still dare not disobey my will haha!"

The prince asked: "Your Majesty, since the Wei family has sent people to protect the corn fields, should we withdraw the forest guards near the Wei family village?"

Li Er thought for a while, nodded and said: "Daban, you are right, there is no need for the Royal Forest Army to lurk in Weijiazhuang. You can just send a few secret discs to monitor it!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Gonggong nodded and immediately left Ganlu Hall to carry out Li Er's will.

In less than an hour, the secret saucer department sent secret saucers to replace the imperial guards to monitor the Wei family's cornfield in accordance with Li Er's order.

……

Tai Chi Palace, Suzaku Gate!
In the evening, Yuchi Huan finally got off duty and went home!

When he arrived at Zhuquemen, Yu Chihuan sat in the carriage and went home leisurely.

"Young Prime Minister Yuchi, please stay!"

Suddenly, the censor doctor Wei Zheng came out from Zhuque Street, stopped Yuchi's carriage and refused to let Yuchihuan go.

Yuchi Huan opened the curtain, stared at Wei Zheng, and said angrily: "Wei Zheng, do you have a problem with me?"

Wei Zheng raised his head to stare at Yuchi Huan and asked: "Prime Minister Yuchi, how did Your Majesty know that this old man went to your house to fetch corn seeds last night?"

Yuchi Huan smiled and said, "Wei Zheng, Your Majesty knows everything, what we did last night must not be hidden from His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng said indignantly: "Prime Minister Yuchi, now the old man's cornfield has been requisitioned by His Majesty, and the old man slapped you twenty times yesterday, shouldn't you make it up to the old man?"

Yu Chihuan nodded and said, "Wei Zheng, what compensation do you want?"

Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Little Chancellor Yuchi, this old man is not demanding, so it's not a problem to exchange a piece of corn with a slap?"

"Okay, Wei Zheng, I'll give you twenty corns!"

Yuchihuan readily took out twenty stalks of corn from the system space and gave them to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng collected twenty stalks of corn, and said with satisfaction, "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, I thank you for your reward, I will leave!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng got into the bullock cart next to him and ran home in a hurry.

Yu Chihuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this guy Wei Zheng can bend and stretch, and he is also a fine man!
Wei Zheng's upright image in Yuchihuan's mind was ruined again.

Yuchihuan then ordered the groom to go home.

creak!

The Yuchi family's groom immediately drove the carriage away from Zhuque Street.

After half a stick of incense arrived, Yu Chihuan finally returned home.

When the eldest lady saw Yu Chihuan coming back, she immediately put the food on the table, ready to start the meal.

Yuchi Gong had already come back from duty, he sighed and said: "Little Yuchi, you will have dinner as soon as you come back, in the eyes of your mother, this old man can't compare to you!"

Yuchi Huan took Yuchi Gong's arm and comforted him: "Father, what are you talking about, we must treat each other equally in Mother's eyes!"

Yuchi Gong said: "I hope so!"

The eldest lady said unhappily: "Yuchi Jingde, don't talk while eating, or you will be fined to sleep in the guest room tonight!"

Yu Chigong was immediately terrified, he said with a simple and honest smile: "What Madam said is true, don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, this old man shut up immediately!"

Seeing that Yu Chigong was obedient, the eldest lady stopped criticizing Yu Chigong!
Yu Chihuan sat on the side and laughed secretly!
But Yuchi Gong stared over, and Yuchi Huan immediately restrained his smile.

After a while, Yuchi Huan, Yuchi Gong, and the Da Furen's family of three started today's dinner.

……

Zhuque Street, Zheng Guogong's residence!

The Wei family on the other side also had dinner.

Wei Zheng blackmailed 22 corns from Yuchihuan today, and he was in a good mood, so he steamed five corns tonight to celebrate.

Mrs. Wei was not happy that twenty acres of cornfields in the Wei family were requisitioned by Li Er.

But when the sweet and delicious corn was placed in front of her eyes, Mrs. Wei didn't care about the ugly appearance, so she grabbed a corn and started to bite.

Wei Zheng finished a piece of corn and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, if you want to eat corn in the future, I will ask Yuchi Huan for it for you!"

Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "Husband, I heard that Yuchihuan is not easy to get along with, will he give you corn?"

Wei Zheng said shyly: "Ma'am, if Yu Chihuan dare not give me corn, I will bang my face on his fist and impeach him to beat me up hehe!"

"My husband is indeed very witty!"

Mrs. Wei immediately praised Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was appreciated by Mrs. Wei, he was in a good mood, his appetite was whetted, and he ate happily!
Mrs. Wei is no longer concerned about the fact that the cornfield at home was confiscated by Li Er.
